CHAPTER XXI
As the early morning daylight lit up, Chen Xizhou woke up from his bed, forgot to close the curtains, and woke him up in advance.
He sat up from the bed, feeling powerless.
The world outside the window seemed to be calling him, and there seemed to be someone waiting for him, but today was destined to be locked up here for another day, unable to leave, unable to leave for unknown reasons.
As the minutes ticked by, he was waiting for the man to arrive.
What kind of person is Ling Yuhuan, is it really the same as what Radish said, he is fighting a psychological tactic with him, hoping that Chen Xizhou will collapse as soon as possible, and then take everything on his head, and then end this company crisis?
The devil knows!
And the time is always so accurate, Ling Yuhuan really came to Chen Xizhou's room when the time came, knocked on the door politely, and entered his room.
"Hello, Mr. Chen." His politeness is always uncomfortable.
"You're here, can we solve all the problems at once?" Chen Xizhou sat down across from him, looking a little impatient.
Ling Yuhuan smiled indifferently, and he was not surprised why Chen Xizhou became irritable.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, this is the process, and it must be completed step by step."
"But, at least tell me, why are you locking me up, and what is the purpose of locking me up?" Chen Xizhou asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"What do you think?" Unexpectedly, Ling Yuhuan actually asked him back.
"Me?" Chen Xizhou was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips, "I don't know anything." ”
"Huh." Ling Yuhuan laughed again, "So, my purpose is to help you and remember slowly." ”
"Memories of what?" Chen Xizhou frowned, "I don't seem to have committed anything, right?" ”
"Yes." Ling Yuhuan nodded, "You really don't. ”
Chen Xizhou was even more inexplicable: "That...... So what do you mean? ”
"Nothing." Ling Yuhuan opened his folder and flipped through something, this series of actions seemed to test Chen Xizhou's patience, in Chen Xizhou's opinion, he was deliberately rubbing and hanging his appetite.
"Can we get straight to the point?" Chen Xizhou was anxious, "Since you said that I didn't commit a crime, then what am I doing here?" ”
"Plan ahead." Ling Yuhuan always has something to say.
"What do you mean?" Chen Xizhou sat down with him like this again, and it was estimated that he would have to fry the pot.
Ling Yuhuan turned his head to the side unhurriedly, his eyes locked on Chen Xizhou's computer, and then asked unhurriedly: "Mr. Chen, have you encountered anything strange at work?" ”
"Strange?" Chen Xizhou didn't react at first, "What a strange thing, being asked by you like this is the strangest thing." ”
Ling Yuhuan's gaze returned to Chen Xizhou's face, and he smiled lightly: "There are no strange signals that make you puzzled?" ”
"Signal?" Chen Xizhou couldn't understand the meaning of his words even more, but what did Ling Yuhuan's gaze just now mean? Don't......
Chen Xizhou secretly glanced at the computer, the strange signal, did it refer to those emails? Those weird numbers......
"Is there one?" Ling Yuhuan asked again.
Chen Xizhou adjusted his sitting posture, looked at him and replied, "No." ”
"Are you sure?"
"Sure." Chen Xizhou pretended to be calm, and before he didn't know what it was, he just gave it all out, just not giving himself a way back. Even if they know something, they just say it's garbled characters, after all, they haven't taken care of it.
"Okay then." Ling Yuhuan didn't seem to like to be aggressive.
Chen Xizhou just breathed a sigh of relief, only to see him write a string of numbers on the paper, and then handed it to him.
"Can you understand what that means?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Xizhou took the note and looked at the numbers on it, it was too familiar. He restrained his surprise, though he wondered why he knew such a string of numbers.
"Doesn't that sound familiar?"
Chen Xizhou glanced at Ling Yuhuan's face, and his determined smile was telling him that he must know something.
"I really don't know what these numbers mean." Chen Xizhou returned the note to Ling Yuhuan, but Ling Yuhuan had no intention of taking it back.
"You didn't try?"
"Try?" Chen Xizhou suddenly felt that the guy in front of him was very cunning, no matter how Chen Xizhou was going to answer, it was a trap. So, Chen Xizhou took a breath and replied, "I don't know what such a strange thing is, how can I try it?" ”
"It has appeared so many times in a row, and the same string of numbers should represent something." Ling Yuhuan looked at him, paying attention to the slightest change in his expression.
"I'm not bored to this extent." Chen Xizhou laughed to himself, "I'm very busy with work every day, who is so bored to do this." ”
Ling Yuhuan saw him laugh, and also laughed: "Okay." ”
"Do you know what that means?" Chen Xizhou simply asked him, "You must know something, you came to ask me on purpose, right?" ”
"Haha." Ling Yuhuan smiled and shook his head, "I'm not a technician, and I'm not very sensitive to numbers. ”
Chen Xizhou put what he wanted to say back into his stomach for the time being, and it was best not to say it now.
"Then I won't disturb your rest." Ling Yuhuan stood up and prepared to leave.
Chen Xizhou noticed that the time was five minutes shorter than before.
"I think you still have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother." Ling Yuhuan was still very polite, "If there is no problem, your confinement may end at 0:00 tonight." ”
"Huh?" Chen Xizhou was unexpectedly surprised, "Really? ”
"Yes." Ling Yuhuan's smile at this moment actually made Chen Xizhou's eyes please, "The company is currently in a stable state, and there is nothing that needs to be investigated." ”
Stable?
Chen Xizhou didn't dare to ask more, the biggest joy now was that the confinement could be lifted, and he really had something he wanted to do to go to other places.
Ling Yuhuan left Chen Xizhou's room, but did not take the note he had written.
Chen Xizhou had to pay attention to this string of numbers, which appeared so magically and repeatedly, it must have represented something. Suddenly, another string of numbers came to mind.
Chen Xizhou hurriedly took a pen and wrote down the string of numbers that Yuki had given him, which was impartial and just right.
Don't......
Chen Xizhou sat in a chair, facing the computer, and the numbers suddenly hovered in front of his eyes, constantly reminding him of their existence, and maybe in another world, it would be valid.
Chen Xizhou did not hesitate to turn on the computer and enter the club's game, if these two strings of numbers are so similar, then there must be a connection.
He quickly entered the club, found the telephone station, the cell phone and the small disc in the drawer, and hurried into a private cubicle.
When he entered this string of numbers on his mobile phone, Chen Xizhou's fingers were trembling nervously. Could this string of numbers really lead him to another world?
However, the mood at the moment is also quite complicated. If you could go, what kind of world would it be? If nothing goes, then the string of numbers is once again a mystery.
When his finger was about to press "enter", Chen Xizhou took a deep breath, and a soothing feeling suddenly hit, saying that his whole person was invisibly relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep in an instant......
A dry wind blew, Chen Xizhou opened his eyes, and he was faced with a desolate desert.
The sky was yellow, the ground was yellow, and the wind and dust made everything in front of him hidden in a blur.
He didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would take a big mouthful of sand and dust when he opened his mouth. But here, I don't have any direction.
Where is this?
Could it be that this is the outside world?
I've long heard people say that the outside world is already a desert, and the harsh climate has destroyed everything, and if that's the case, it's really terrible.
However, Chen Xizhou still maintained a trace of calm. After all, he didn't go out of the city by himself, but entered the virtual world through a virtual line network.
That's right, virtual.
Chen Xizhou comforted himself, and then walked forward. No matter what direction it is, you have to take a walk like this to see what is here, right?
As his feet stepped on the soft sand, there was silence without a sound. It really feels like it's all just fake, just a game that you entered yourself.
The wind and sand covered the road in front of him, and every step Chen Xizhou took was difficult, and suddenly, a strange voice sounded not far in front of him.
"Squeak...... Squeak ......"
"Who?" Chen Xizhou couldn't see the front clearly, so he had to ask, "Is there anyone in front?" ”
As soon as his words fell, the "creaking" sound in front of him suddenly stopped.
Chen Xizhou kept walking forward, and there was another "bang", such a sound was particularly clear and loud around the quiet, which immediately made his hairs stand on end.
He stayed where he was, feeling as if a dark shadow had come from the front after the sound had ended.
Is it an individual?
Chen Xizhou became nervous, but don't be a monster......
Before he could finish thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that the black shadow had quickened his pace and ran towards him.
Chen Xizhou was completely frightened at this time, and when he wanted to flee back, he noticed that there was something behind him, with several legs open, waiting for an opportunity behind him......
"Get down!"
A voice came, shouted loudly, Chen Xizhou obeyed the order and quickly climbed down, a "bang" resounded all around, and then with a "squeak", the thing with several feet fell to the ground in response, setting off a burst of thick sand, completely covering Chen Xizhou.
"Get up." The voice called him again.
Chen Xizhou felt the weight of the dust on his back, propped up his body, and shook off the loess.
"Ahem" He coughed several times, tidying himself up before he could see that the shadow was a giant spider.
"Oh my God!" The first time he saw such a big spider, he was frightened and took several steps back, and one suddenly felt that his back was being hit by something hard Dingxi.
This is...... Gun?
Chen Xizhou was stunned in place, not knowing what he should do, turning back or not looking back.
"Where are you from?" The voice asked again.
"I ...... I'm from the outside world......" Chen Xizhou was scared, his throat and eyes trembling.
"Outside?"
"Oh oh oh no, it's inside." Chen Xizhou suddenly realized that maybe for this person, this is the outside.
"What's on the outside and what's inside?"
"Hmm......" Chen Xizhou thought about it, is this still a game world? It was somebody who sent me a lot of emails telling me the numbers and then came in......"
The person behind him finally put down the gun, and Chen Xizhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly turned around, only to realize that the person carrying the gun turned out to be a woman...... The voice is so hoarse, is it affected by the wind and sand? He thought it was a man.
"You are?" Chen Xizhou finally saw her appearance hidden under the peaked cap, brown skin, and a scar on her emaciated cheek, which was neatly cut above the eyebrow bone.
Although the woman in front of her is thin, she has a very good figure, and the muscle lines on her arms and thighs are very toned, and she looks like an unusual person.
"Who are you?" She asked Chen Xizhou first.
"I... My name is Chen Xizhou. Her eyes were sharp, which made Chen Xizhou afraid, "Is this a virtual world or a reality?" ”
Although she put away her gun, the momentum was still there, and people always dared not approach or say much.
"Do you want to know?" As she spoke, she suddenly raised her gun again and aimed it at Chen Xizhou.
Chen Xizhou was so frightened by this posture that he took a few steps back, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't don't, don't have something to say." ”
"Don't you want to know where you are?" Her tone was very calm, not at all like a joke, "Just give it a try and you'll know." ”
"Don't don't ......" even if you know that this may be a game, but it's strange that you're not afraid to be held at the target like this.
But before he could finish waving his hand in a panic, the woman on the other side had already pulled her fingers, and with a "bang" sound, a metal bullet erupted from the muzzle of the gun, heading straight for Chen Xizhou......
"Ahh Chen Xizhou screamed, suddenly fell off the toilet, and in a panic, he noticed that he woke up in the bathroom cubicle and had slipped to the ground in embarrassment.
"Are you alright, sir?" At this time, someone knocked on the door outside the cubicle and asked about his condition, presumably hearing his movements inside.
Chen Xizhou got up from the ground: "No, it's okay." ”
He searched around the ground before finding the phone he had dropped when he was frightened.
The numbers on it have disappeared from the address bar, and every time you log in or out, you will have their traces removed. It seems to be able to sense his entry and exit, so what is the function of this phone? Is it to stay here and let them enter these unknown worlds?
So who is left here?
Who else knows where it is, what his role is?
Chen Xizhou tidied himself up, put the phone back in its place after coming out of the bathroom, and carefully observed the people around him, there were no suspicious people, let alone familiar people.
He continued to quit the game and returned to his room, where the people outside the window were blue and white, but the blue sky and white clouds were undeniably beautiful......
