Familiar, yet unfamiliar.

This was the first feeling after Zhou Chu woke up and saw his room.

Familiar because this is where he lives day and night, he has been living here since graduation, but strange is because, after completing the bidding meeting and entering Silent Hill, it seems that a long time has passed, long enough to feel strange to everything in reality.

Looking up at the calendar, the twenty-ninth of October, so to speak, he had been in the Silent Hill World Realm for a full seventeen days.

Zhou Chu sat there for a while, and then determined the first thing he would do after returning to reality.

Turn on your phone.

After such a long time, his mobile phone had already turned off because the battery was exhausted, but fortunately he had thought of this in advance and prepared in advance, so he just turned over and got out of bed cleanly to find the backup battery that had been charged.

While doing this process, the aqua blue trace on Zhou Chu's hand, after a flash of light, a translucent light blue girl figure appeared in Zhou Chu's room.

A fair and smooth face, beautiful and slender eyelashes, light brown pupils, and long brown curly hair, if not slightly translucent, then where this girl stands, one would think that this is a realistic and delicate, charming doll.

Aletha.

Zhou Chu just glanced at her, but ignored her, but found the battery, then installed his mobile phone, and then turned it on.

Sure enough, a flurry of missed calls and texts.

Zhou Chu glanced at it quickly. Most of them were indeed from Oucheng, and only a few were from Gao Ming, Gu Chaoxi, and Dark Bell, but there was a text message that made his gaze stop for a moment.

Qin Jing's.

[I like flowers very much, Xie Lu Xie, what have you been busy with lately, pay attention to your body. 】

Then Zhou Chu fell silent.

The silence is not because he saw this text message, and there is any emotion, the silence is because he is thinking. At this time, he saw such a text message. What kind of emotions and reactions should there be.

It should be a pleasure...... And then the excitement? Is it nervousness, or careful wording, going back, and expecting to be replied to?

Wrong. This is for crushes and unrequited loves. They are a couple. At least for now, always.

It should be a sense of relief and joy after repairing the relationship. And want to smile in the mood? At the same time, with the feeling of missing and thinking about her, I went back to the past to care about each other, and to see if I could come out for dinner and further repair the relationship?

That's how it should be, it's right.

However, he didn't have any emotions, just looked at the text message calmly, he knew that he still loved Qin Jing, but the feelings existed, but there was no emotion.

So he gave up trying to figure out and imitate his emotions and reactions under normal circumstances, and simply replied with a message.

[It's good to like it.] I'm fine, you also pay attention to the body. 】

Then he flipped the page of the mobile phone message, for him who didn't feel any emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness now, Qin Jing's text messages were no different from other people's text messages, so he continued to look at other text messages.

He ignored Ou Cheng's text message for the time being, because he knew that Ou Cheng would definitely be babbling about where he died, and he couldn't give him an answer, so he skipped it.

So it came to Xie Zhenfei's text message.

[If you have time, send me a text message back, my master has contacted me, and I will take you on a trip when I have time.] 】

Xie Zhenfei's master, a master of national arts? Zhou Chu tilted his head, and quickly analyzed in his mind whether he still needed to visit this national arts master, and then he came to the conclusion that it was better to go.

Although the current self, in the Nightmare World Realm, there is no need to practice any fighting skills and national arts, but if you can systematically access these skills, it will still be somewhat helpful, and in reality, the ability obtained in the Nightmare World Realm is almost completely suppressed and weakened, as an ordinary person who is just physically strong, some necessary self-defense skills are still necessary, and from the perspective of human relationships, he has already asked Xie Zhenfei, then the other party has also found a peace agreement, Even if you don't study, you still have to go.

After analyzing all this, Zhou Chu replied with a text message.

[On Saturday, I'll call you.] 】

followed by Gu Chaoxi's, and Gu Chaoxi's information was only one.

[If you have time, come to the house for a meal, Gu Tong has been thinking about seeing you, and in addition, before the end of the holiday, let's talk about the follow-up of the expo. 】

Zhou Chu still had the foresight to ask Gu Chaoxi for twenty days of vacation before, and vaguely revealed that he might resign, Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything at the time, after all, he recruited Zhou Chu in just to be able to win this bidding meeting, so she didn't think about anything after that.

And now, in addition to thanking Zhou Chu again for saving her daughter's life, she also wants to determine Zhou Chu's next plan.

It's time to leave, too.

What happened in Silent Hill made him confirm one thing, for now, it was impossible for him to live a 9-to-5 life, and he might be summoned to the Nightmare World Realm anytime and anywhere, and before, he still insisted on going to Sheng Tian, but he was just the original self, wanting to live according to Qin Jing's ideas, and in order to prove himself.

Now, I don't feel that way, and I don't feel any emotions, so naturally, I will choose the best and most beneficial choices and practices for me at the moment.

So he also replied to Gu Chaoxi.

[I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I just saw it now, after the holiday, I will come to your office to talk to you in detail. 】

After replying to Gu Chaoxi's information, Zhou Chu opened the information of Gao Ming and the Dead Bell again, and the information of the Dead Bell is still the same as always, belonging to her unique style.

[If ten minutes later.] If you don't text me back, you're dead. 】

You're dead. 】

[Okay, I know you're in Silent Hill, so, after you die, text me back!] 】

For now, there is no need to go back. So Zhou Chu skipped it directly and opened Gao Ming's SMS group.

[Tangled, I missed your calls and text messages several times in a row, I am now in the Alien World Realm. On the go. 】

[Silent Ridge World Realm. I haven't experienced it, but almost every awakened person has to go through the world of humanity or facing oneself, although I don't know what the Tao is. But I think it's necessary. Just for you. I believe that you must be the last to survive, the one who is strong-willed. 】

Strong-willed...... Firm enough to destroy your heart and lose all your emotions. Zhou Chu felt that his current self should have a wry smile mocking him, but he still didn't have such feelings and emotions, he was very calm, so there was no need to show a very fake mocking smile in order to cooperate with this.

[Come out and contact me, it's time for the underworld team to act together, it seems that there is a world and things that the three major groups of Dream Breakers are interested in recently, and I plan to go in and get a piece of the pie.] 】

Zhou Chu read the date of the last text message, five days ago, no wonder when he returned to the shelter, no one could see it, it is estimated that he has entered the world realm, and it is good to go back and enter it himself, after all, in the Silent Hill world realm, Zhou Chu did see that fighting alone is far less effective and safe than a team working together.

So he also returned a text message.

[Tell me what the world is, how to get in touch, and then I'll be there.] 】

After replying to this message, Zhou Chu threw his phone aside, and then glanced at the spirit Alesa who was looking around, touching and touching, but he didn't plan to talk to her, but closed his eyes.

After closing his eyes, in his mind, all the things to be done and to deal with became symbols and words, floating in the dark sea of consciousness, and then his brain began to think and operate, the time, importance, and order of each thing, all of which were within his thinking and calculation, and then those symbols and words that were rapidly circling and spinning, chaotic and floating everywhere at the beginning, gradually became clear and arranged in a line, and finally formed an orderly timeline.

This is pure rationality, without any emotional and emotional influence, after calculation and analysis, based on all the resources you have, your understanding of this world, your understanding of the nightmare world, and your own optimal plan.

And the first two keywords in this plan in my mind are Xia Xiao and the Black Knights.

After straightening out everything and what to do, Zhou Chu stood up and made a call to Xia Xiao.

"You're back?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Xia Xiao's somewhat affectionate voice came from the other end, but there was no surprise or other emotions, as if Zhou Chu would definitely be able to return safely from the Silent Ridge World.

"Hmm. I'm looking for you. ”

"What's the matter? Say it, as long as you want, as long as I have it. Xia Xiao used such a sentence to express everything she wanted to say.

"In reality, I haven't thought about it for the time being, and I won't decide until later, there is another one, I want to join the Black Knights."

There was silence on the other end, and it was a moment before her voice was heard.

"Let's meet."

"Time, place."

"Tonight?"

"Okay, where's the place?"

"Peninsula villas? Where do I live......" Xia Xiao's tone was a little hesitant, and there was also an inquiry.

"The specific address, I will call you."

"Peninsula Villa No. 1, after seven o'clock in the evening, before eight o'clock."

"Okay."

"Are you sure, are you really coming?"

"Hmm."

The other end was silent for a moment before he said, "Then I'll have someone prepare dinner, and you can eat it here." ”

"Okay."

Zhou Chu hung up the phone, he could know Lu Dao, and he also understood Xia Xiao's tone and tentative purpose on the phone, there was no doubt that he didn't act like him, not like the Zhou Chu who Xia Xiao knew and was familiar with, if it was Zhou Chu in the past, not only would he not ask for anything with Xia Xiao, but most of them would refuse Xia Xiao's request to invite him to her place, but now, he agreed cleanly, without thinking or dragging his feet, so it made Xia Xiao a little uncomfortable.

However, this is himself now, there is no need for him to hide it, or he needs to react like Zhou Chu before.

I am who I am, I am still Zhou Chu, I am still myself, but I have no heart and no emotions. (To be continued.) )
