"Pap~~" applause came, and the voice-activated sensor light in the room suddenly lit up. Zhen Shifeng subconsciously covered his forehead with his hand, but he still squinted his eyes and looked at the mysterious person in front of him vigilantly.

This is a dark-skinned, emaciated middle-aged man, dressed in an old-fashioned gray trench coat, two long leather boots of different styles, and a rather exaggerated brown withered hair.

"Who are you?" Zhen Shifeng took two steps back as he asked, keeping a certain distance from the other party. The middle-aged man stroked his dry hair and said very casually: "Don't you already know the answer?" ”

After hearing this, Zhen Shifeng frowned slightly, scanned the surroundings of the house suspiciously, and finally stopped his gaze on the middle-aged man again, and said lightly: "Could it be that you are the vodka?" ”

"I told you you already know the answer." The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and then sat down on the sofa, "Let's sit down and talk, I'm sure you must have a stomach of questions to ask, right?" ”

However, Zhen Shifeng did not do what the other party said, but stepped to the window of the hall and tugged the bolt knob on the window hard.

"Hehe, do you want to know how I got in?" Vodka saw through Zhen Shifeng's thoughts at a glance, so Yao pointed to the door on the side, "I came in through the door from there." ”

"Then your head must have accidentally caught the door, right?" Zhen Shifeng rolled his eyes and complained.

"Haha, it's not impossible, and it's quite uncomfortable." Vodka actually admitted it without care.

"Uh...... Could it be that you have had a prefrontal lobotomy before? ”

"Not to mention the prefrontal lobe, cerebellar resection is no problem. In fact, I don't have a brain at all, because it's just a superfluous burden. ”

"........." For a while, Zhen Shifeng really didn't know how to complain, because judging from the other party's eye expression, he really didn't look like he was joking.

The two looked at each other for dozens of seconds, and after a while, vodka spoke again: "Don't you want to ask about the content of the commission and the reward for the task?" ”

"Come on, Splash, call one for this uncle." Zhen Shifeng didn't pay any attention to the other party's question, but turned to look at the pet parrot 'Little Splash' lying on the birdrest behind him. The stupid parrot shook its head, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: stupid...... Stupid...... A sucker.

"Well, that's a good point, I'll give you some extra food in the evening." After that, Zhen Shifeng turned to the vodka with great interest, and scratched his hair helplessly, "I'm sorry, this stupid parrot will only say 'stupid'." ”

"Oh, really?" Vodka's face sank, and then he pointed at the parrot 'Little Splash' with one hand, and said sharply: "Brute, what should you call me?" ”

"Stupid...... Stupid...... Big...... Big...... My lord. ”

"Well, that's what it sounds like." Vodka nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Shifeng's brows furrowed even tighter, and the various strange appearances of the vodka in front of him really made him feel uneasy, but he still put on a calm and composed appearance, and laughed at himself: "Tonight's supper is decided to be braised parrot meat, tsk, it should taste good." ”

"Mr. Zhen is really as good as his name, it's crazy."

"Haha, there have been awards, many people have said that."

"But I still hope that in front of me, you can restrain this crazy character, which will be good for you and me."

"That's simple, isn't it just pretending to be deep." As soon as the words fell, Zhen Shifeng suddenly seemed to be a different person, his eyes, expressions, and movements all revealed an extremely serious aura, and his voice dropped an octave, "Then let's ask Mr. Vodka to talk about the content of the commission." ”

Seeing this, vodka's anger was not easy to attack, and after sighing, he took out a leather file bag from his arms, threw it on the other side of the sofa casually, and said solemnly: "This bag contains the entrusted content and one-third of the task remuneration, and I will personally pay for the other two-thirds after the completion of the work." ”

"Oh? Still so mysterious? Zhen Shifeng casually picked up the file bag on the sofa and prepared to open it, but he still kept a certain distance from vodka.

"Because the commissioned content involves the game "Hall of Strangers", which is still in closed beta, this game pod is an additional part of it. You should feel lucky to be able to have fun after work, and you should feel lucky to be selected by us. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Shifeng, who was originally removing the stitches, suddenly stopped moving, and his face gradually sank, and then he stretched out two fingers and said coldly: "First, my daily life entertainment has never included online games in it, for me this is just a part of the work, after all, I don't feel any relaxation at all." Saying that, Zhen Shifeng patted his chest proudly and continued: "Second, it is my duty to solve problems for others as a detective, but if I want to say that I am lucky, it should be you who are the commissioners, because it is even more difficult to find a detective genius like me who is superior in strength, outstanding ability and unique in ten thousand than ascending to the sky, and I can accept this commission, which is a good blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life." So...... You'd better retract your nonsense as quickly as possible, otherwise, hum. ”

Hearing Zhen Shifeng's wild words, the two fell silent again, and the atmosphere became quite weird. After a long time, Vodka raised his head and laughed loudly, and at the same time high-fived him with his fist: "Yadav really didn't choose the wrong person, Zhen Shifeng, although you have a quirky personality and arrogant words and deeds, this is also your precious point, or your potential is far beyond my imagination." Whoever achieves great things must be unruly, casual or crazy, and once your advantage is established, it must be unstoppable, which I really admire. ”

"Hehe, although I am thin-skinned and do not boast, but what you say is indeed the truth, tsk, I love to listen." Zhen Shifeng shamelessly admitted it.

Vodka is no longer able to evaluate the words and deeds of this strange person, and is more helpless and headache than admiring, dealing with this kind of person is simply a mental torture, he would rather carry a broom to the park to clean the toilet than stay here for a minute longer.

"Now that the commission has been delivered and the matter has come to this, there is no need for me to continue to stay here, so ......" the corners of Vodka's mouth raised, and then snapped his fingers, "The rest of the work will be handed over to you, and we will meet again." ”

When the word 'see' fell, Zhen Shifeng suddenly felt his head dizzy and his eyes were dark, and the whole person seemed to be in a violent hurricane. I don't know how long it took, but the calm around him gradually returned, and he had a chance to breathe as he lay on the ground.

"Uh...... What kind of fuss is this? Zhen Shifeng covered his head and rubbed his eyes, and roughly looked around: mirror walls, dazzling light, virtual display boards, this was clearly his personal landing center in the game.

"Could it be that I was dreaming just now? Can you dream in games? Zhen Shifeng didn't seem to believe his eyes, but after rubbing them over and over again, the surrounding scene still hadn't changed, and he was indeed still in the game's personal landing center, "Okay, I'll go to the brain doctor in a few days, maybe someone stole my forehead lobe while I was sleeping." ”

Without thinking much about it, Zhen Shifeng opened the email column first, and there was no external text message he received before, so he decisively clicked the 'Exit Connection' button, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears:

[Neural connections are being reset]

[The neural connection is about to be interrupted, please wait for ......]

[Game Landing Number: 70487 is exiting, Game Pod Number: 761348 will be adjusted to pop-up mode soon]

"Ding Dong~~" With a crisp sound, the hatch was slowly opened. Zhen Shifeng didn't say a word, he first clapped his palms and turned on the voice-activated lights, and then took a step out of the game cabin, but his eyes never left the position where vodka first appeared before, but at this time, the room was empty, not to mention vodka, not even a ghost. What's more, the commission bag that had been dropped on the sofa was also missing.

"Whew, is it really all my hallucination?" After such a toss, Zhen Shifeng really felt a little tired. In addition to being bored, he didn't forget to make himself a cup of coconut milk tea, and after taking a sip, most of the fatigue accumulated before disappeared in an instant.

"Sugar intake is a matter of life and death, and even if the sky falls, it won't stop me from pursuing sugar, right?" Zhen Shifeng took a sip of milk tea with one hand, and touched the feathers on Xiao Splash's chest with the other hand teasingly.

"Stupid...... Stupid...... Stupid ......"

"Are you stupid and stupid, when will you call your master and me something else?"

"Stupid...... Stupid...... Big...... Big...... My lord. Xiao Splash, who had been holding back for a long time, finally spit out the words he wanted to say, but Zhen Shifeng squirted out the milk tea in one gulp, his eyes were wide and round, and he said in a panic: "You say it again?" ”

"Your Excellency...... My lord...... Adult ......"

"Huh...... Hehe...... Hehehe, well, it seems that this is another hallucination. At this time, Zhen Shifeng felt a headache, whether it was tasting milk tea or reading books and newspapers, he was no longer in the mood. As for continuing to play, in fact, he has developed an inexplicable sense of resistance to this "Strange Palace", even a geek of this level is difficult to resist the invasion of fear, plus the occurrence of various supernatural events, if it weren't for the strong curiosity and the kind of death nature that comes from the bones, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to persevere.

After resting, Zhen Shifeng still decided to take an early nap, the sleep quality of this product is absolutely first-class, almost sleeping on the pillow, and after a while, there was an earth-shattering snoring sound. However, just as he was falling asleep, a blood-red shadow suddenly appeared in front of his bed.........
