CHAPTER XXXII
Finally looking forward to the arrival of night, Cheng Jiyun felt that he was carrying a huge amount of money, and he didn't even dare to walk too fast.
Chen Xizhou walked in front of him, did he look back at him a few times: "Who are you looking for?" Is it important? ”
Cheng Jiyun nodded.
"Okay." Chen Xizhou said, "I'll also see it by the way." ”
Cheng Jiyun walked behind him, and suddenly remembered something, so he took the opportunity to ask: "If it's someone who participates in the game at Choose, can you find it?" ”
"Huh?" Chen Xizhou frowned, "It's a living person, so naturally you can find it." ”
"I mean, like us, people who don't have an identity for the time being, can they be found?" Cheng Jiyun added.
"No, we have an identity, just an internship." Chen Xizhou simply slowed down and walked beside him, "But in the company, some people are different, and most of them have past identities and have not been officially numbered. ”
"Number?" Cheng Jiyun frowned, "It's ID?" ”
"Well......" Chen Xizhou thought about it carefully, "I can't explain it clearly, anyway, it's just a string of numbers, it's like a pass to enter here." ”
"I have a question." Cheng Jiyun asked, "Choose has had a dormancy plan a long time ago, do those who are dormant have identities?" Aren't they sleeping? How to update it? ”
"Haha." Chen Xizhou laughed, "Why haven't you thought about who are the people who can enter hibernation?" If you are not rich, who can sleep if you want to? ”
Cheng Jiyun thought to himself, too.
"But ......," Chen Xizhou added, "I heard that this experimental project also recruited volunteers to participate for free." ”
"Free?"
"Hmm...... Maybe it's a different kind of research. Chen Xizhou replied, "Who knows what they are doing, I just need to know what I want to do." ”
Cheng Jiyun's pace became slower and slower, as if he felt that this project was also related to himself, and when he woke up from the game, he felt like he had been asleep for a long, long time, completely unconscious.
"Can you explain to me how you get into the game in general?" Cheng Jiyun asked him, as a person who has tried a lot of games, he should know very well.
"You don't know?" Chen Xizhou was surprised.
Cheng Jiyun shook his head.
"Oh! Then you're really blind in, in order to test the authenticity. Chen Xizhou replied, "You should enter in a state of sleep, usually we will drink a cup of sleeping pills to help ourselves fall into deep sleep as soon as possible, and then there are follow-up instruments and equipment to maintain a stable state of the body, which is similar to sleep, but we will not soak in water......"
"What? Soaking in water? Cheng Jiyun asked.
"Hmm." Chen Xizhou really didn't know anything about him, "Dormant people stay in a white egg with some liquid to protect them. We're not that complicated because we have a lot less time than theirs, and we can do it in a day or two. ”
"A day or two?" Cheng Jiyun was shocked again, how did he feel that he had been in that damn game for a long, long time.
"That's right." Chen Xizhou laughed at his fuss instead, "Don't you usually dream the same?" You can travel the world in five minutes. ”
Cheng Jiyun lowered his head and thought for a while, maybe it was like this, like a dream.
"Then ......," Cheng Jiyun simply made a bold assumption, "what if it's a dormant person?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"Is it a dormant person entering the game at the same time?"
"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun's question surprised Chen Xizhou, but he felt that it seemed to make sense, "How did you think of this?" ”
Cheng Jiyun straightened out the clue in his head: "You think, every game has more than just players who enter, right?" There must be someone standing in there, so that the whole game looks more realistic, right? ”
When Chen Xizhou heard it, he seemed to have a little truth.
"So, these people won't sleep for a day or two like we do, right? Otherwise, won't their bodies be able to support it? Therefore, it should be safer to sleep, directly enter the dormant state, and then access the game, so that you can stay in the game for hundreds of years without pain and itch! ”
Listening to Cheng Jiyun's analysis, Chen Xizhou also thought about it, maybe this possibility really exists.
"So, who wants to hibernate into the game? The game is originally an interactive experience, and it should be used as a pastime. Chen Xizhou asked incomprehensibly.
Cheng Jiyun actually didn't understand: "There are always people who want to escape from reality." ”
"Haha, that's too boring." Chen Xizhou said with a smile, "They plan to sleep for more than ten years and then get up?" Or do you live in a fictional world and never get back up? ”
Cheng Jiyun closed his mouth, because he didn't know if this guess was correct, and he already corresponded to someone in his mind, and he was also a little scared, what if he was really like this?
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of the bar.
The second time he came, he could easily face the special problems of the two big men at the door, and the first thing Cheng Jiyun did when he entered the bar was to find the person he met last time.
Not surprisingly, the man was still dressed casually, sitting at the bar and drinking.
"Hello." Cheng Jiyun went up directly to greet him, "How much does it cost to help find someone?" ”
The man put down the bar in his hand, looked at him with a look of surprise, then looked around and asked, "You just asked that, didn't you have any purpose?" ”
"Nope." Cheng Jiyun sat down next to him and asked, "I'm just in a hurry." ”
"Huh." The man took a sip of his glass and said, "How urgent?" ”
"It's just urgent."
"Urgent capital is also urgent, can you afford to expedite the cost?" The man's words poured cold water on Cheng Jiyun.
"I didn't."
"Okay, tell me the name, and be patient." After the man finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his breast pocket, and then slipped a pen from the bar, "Say it." ”
"Shi Wei." Cheng Jiyun approached him and said, "When the time comes, the rose of the rose." ”
"I know how to write." The man muttered, but before he could write a word, he paused, "Say it again, what's it called?" ”
"Shi Wei."
Shi Wei ......" he muttered the name in his mouth, put down the pen in his hand, and carefully looked at the people around him.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Jiyun didn't understand what this was doing.
"What's your name?" He asked suddenly.
"Cheng, Cheng Jiyun." Cheng Jiyun felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, as if something was wrong.
"What's your relationship with her?"
"This ...... Is it important? Cheng Jiyun asked rhetorically.
"Hmm." He replied in a nasal voice, "Otherwise, how could I have found it for you?" ”
"Well, she's my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" The man frowned and looked at Cheng Jiyun again, "How long have you known each other?" ”
"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun felt that something was wrong, and began to turn into boredom, "Are you unwilling to help me find it?" What does it matter if you ask me so many questions? ”
The man was not in a hurry, but laughed, took a sip of wine, and replied unhurriedly: "This person, how long have you not seen him?" ”
"How long...... Ten years. ”
"Ten years?" The man smiled and shook his head, "Well, I won't negotiate the price." ”
"How?" Cheng Jiyun's heart hung again, "Why?" ”
"Because, I don't know if I can find this person, so, I can only try, if I find it, I will ask you to collect the money, and then hand over the money and the other hand over the information." After he finished speaking, he continued to drink.
But Cheng Jiyun felt a slim hope: "Do you think this person can't be found?" ”
He put down his glass: "I didn't say that, so don't worry, I can't help you in a hurry, only money." ”
Cheng Jiyun pestle beside him, watched him drink all the wine in the wine glass, and then got up and left his seat: "Young man, I'm going to start work, come back to me in a month." ”
"A month?" Cheng Jiyun became anxious, "I'm afraid I don't have a month." ”
"Didn't you?" The man frowned again.
"Perhaps...... Maybe. Cheng Jiyun changed his words again.
"It's fine." He replied, "If you can't find it, you'll know tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun was even more at a loss now, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's not interesting." He turned around and waved his hand, "Let's try our luck tomorrow!" After speaking, Cheng Jiyun watched him leave the bar.
Chen Xizhou watched them talk for less than ten minutes, thinking that the negotiation was done, and immediately ran over: "How is it?" ”
Cheng Jiyun shook his head, a little lost.
"Can't you?" Chen Xizhou asked, "Is there not enough money?" ”
"It's not about money." Cheng Jiyun continued to sit at the bar, Chen Xizhou hurriedly sat down beside him, and just wanted to beckon the bartender for a glass of wine, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Cheng Jiyun, "Not today, please drink tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" Now, it was Chen Xizhou's turn to be disappointed.
"Let's go." Cheng Jiyun pulled him to go back, "Come back tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow?" Chen Xizhou was originally unhappy, but when he heard that he would come tomorrow, he became happy, "I must come tomorrow!" ”
……
On the second day, Cheng Jiyun's class didn't end until 9 o'clock in the evening, and when he rushed to the door of the bar in a hurry, he found that there was a long queue at the door today.
"What's the situation?" Cheng Jiyun was still a little puzzled, and suddenly found that there were all men in line, and in that line, there was a person waving to him again.
"Cheng Jiyun! Over here! ”
It was Chen Xizhou who was in line, but fortunately he came early and inserted a queue for him.
"That's why you're here?"
"I can't get off work until nine o'clock, and you see that I don't have time to change my work clothes." Cheng Jiyun pointed to the white shirt on his body and said, then loosened the button on the neckline, and the bow tie was already stuffed in his pocket.
Chen Xizhou glanced at his shirt, which didn't match the coat he was holding in his hand at all, so he laughed: "This outfit is really fashionable." ”
"Nothing funny." Cheng Jiyun glanced at the long line, and didn't know how long he would have to wait to get in, "What's going on today?" I've never seen so many people before. ”
"Today is Ladies' Night." Chen Xizhou replied, "All ladies drink for free, and there are more women, so of course men will come." ”
"Boring." Cheng Jiyun muttered.
"Haha." Chen Xizhou laughed again, "Are you not interested in women?" I'm looking forward to this day, but I'm glad you invited me to drink, so I must drink it today! ”
"Okay, okay, I got it." Cheng Jiyun replied impatiently, "As long as you go in, I will invite you to drink immediately." ”
"Hee-hee." Chen Xizhou was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
After waiting for a long time, he finally entered the bar, Chen Xizhou really pulled Cheng Jiyun straight to the bar, ordered the wine first, and then said, saving him from leaving after talking.
Cheng Jiyun took out a brand-new banknote from his pocket and handed it to the bartender, who glanced at the money, then looked at Cheng Jiyun, and accepted it.
"Why does he look at me like that?" Cheng Jiyun didn't understand.
"Because your money is so new." Chen Xizhou disagreed, "Generally, people who use new money are strangers who come here. ”
"Okay." Cheng Jiyun stood by the bar, and then tried to find the figure of the person in the overcrowded bar.
"I didn't even ask him what his name was, what if he didn't come?" Cheng Jiyun became worried.
"Not coming?" Chen Xizhou laughed, "No, the marginal people don't have a place to live, how can they not come." ”
"And they live in a bar?" Cheng Jiyun asked.
"Maybe." Chen Xizhou shrugged, "I haven't learned more, after all, their lives are different from ours." ”
Chen Xizhou picked up the wine glass from the table and gave Cheng Jiyun a glass.
"Don't look at the glamorous city of this city, people are still three, six, nine and so on, but some people can see the light, and some people can only hide in the dark." After Chen Xizhou finished speaking, he took a sip of wine.
Cheng Jiyun continued to search, but there were really too many heads today, and it seemed that everyone was very similar, and everyone was different.
"Cheng Jiyun!" As soon as he found it, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind, and when he looked back, it was the same person from yesterday.
He beckoned to Cheng Jiyun: "Follow me." ”
Cheng Jiyun hurriedly put down the cup and followed him into the bathroom.
The man didn't hold the wine in his hand today, and then put his hands on his waist, his expression was not relaxed, which made Cheng Jiyun suddenly nervous, and asked anxiously: "How is it?" Can you find it? ”
The man raised his eyes, looked at him, and then shook his head, Cheng Jiyun suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"You die, this person can't be found."
"Impossible." Cheng Jiyun still didn't want to believe it, "Why can't you find it?" ”
"There's nothing I can do about it, but I can only tell you that all the information about her was gone ten years ago." The man's serious expression didn't look like he was joking at all.
Cheng Jiyun felt that the whole person had just experienced a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and suddenly he couldn't hear anything except the rumbling sound of the stereo.
The man patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, there is no grass at the end of the world." Then he walked out of the bathroom.
Cheng Jiyun stood in place, not knowing what he should do next. Decade...... Has Shi Wei disappeared for ten years?
Why? Did she really evaporate from the world? Still is......
