Chapter 42: The Pyramid Everywhere

(3-in-1 update, there is another update today)

Cheng Mo watched Bai Xiuxiu's face that could turn all beings upside down slowly closed by the stainless steel door, as if he saw that the end point he wanted to reach was tightly closed to him, at this moment Cheng Mo's mind was filled with Bai Xiuxiu's image, and the picture about Bai Xiuxiu that his eyes had captured appeared like a slideshow in his alcohol-rippling brain, gentle, charming, dignified, and enchanting......

Especially when he saw Bai Xiuxiu for the first time, she was sitting in a red velvet sofa with a high backrest, and her slender calves in white straight-leg trousers were swaying to the rhythm of the music, looking lazy and indifferent.....

These beautiful scenes were embodied in the CH3NHCH4OH2H2SO4 solution of the darkroom, which made Cheng Mo feel happy and intoxicated.

But the pleasure is only a short moment, when the sound of the elevator motor gently sounded in Cheng Mo's ears, Cheng Mo was suddenly alert, he looked at the somewhat vague mirror image of himself on the polished stainless steel door, although it was not clear, but he could also distinguish the red cheeks, it was desire burning.

Cheng Mo couldn't avoid the straight eyes behind the resin lenses, he looked at himself, like looking at another person, maybe he had been suppressed for too long, most of the seventeen years he was pressed to the ground by the disease and rubbed, and he got Ulopolos to let him see the light, but he was held and kneaded in his hand by Li Jiting, who gave him Ulopolos, and now he was controlled by Bai Xiuxiu as a doll.....

Thinking of the sentence blurted out just now: "Bai Xiuxiu, you just wait to be by me", Cheng Mo broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, but he felt extremely comfortable, as if he had vented a huge pressure with nowhere to go.

But Cheng Mo still felt a little ashamed, he felt that he would not be more literary and artistic if he replaced such a vulgar word as "" with "Dunlun", Cheng Mo didn't dare to look back to see what was going on in the KTV hall, and he didn't need to look back, he could probably guess how much of a sensation the sentence just now should have caused.

Cheng Mo reached out a little stiffly and pressed the down button again, fortunately there were no guests at KTV, and soon another elevator door opened, Cheng Mo walked in directly, flashed to the side of the elevator, and quickly pressed the close button.

Cheng Mo leaned against the cold stainless steel elevator wall, felt the steel cage fall down with him, raised his right hand, slapped himself without pain or itching, smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Cheng Mo! Cheng Mo has read so many philosophy books in vain, and drinking a little wine will expose the nature of animals!"

Cheng Mo couldn't help but remember that he was crazy about playing computer games for a while when he was in elementary school, as if as long as he indulged in that empty world, he could forget everything and have everything.

At that time, he was crazy obsessed with "World of Warcraft", and his father saw that he didn't study, so he didn't care about playing games when he came home, but instead asked him for leave and let him have fun at home, the only requirement was to eat and sleep on time, and not affect his work and rest.

After playing for another month, Cheng Mo finally couldn't help but ask his father during dinner, why don't other people's parents allow their children to play games, but why don't you not stop it, but also ask for leave to let me play? Is it because I won't live long?

As a result, my father said: "World of Warcraft is a good game, I also tried to play it, which also made me have some interest in online games, according to my research, the essence of games is problem solving, learning and cognition, games in addition to rendering, narrative, sound, animation and other expressive things, the real design abstract core is often as simple as mathematics - it is a formal system..... No matter what kind of game it is, in fact, it is the same as when you go to school and study, in short, it is constantly asking you questions and asking you to solve these problems, from the first simple solo task of killing a chicken in the novice village to the complex team task of killing a dragon who does all kinds of evil, so that you can get happiness and satisfaction in the process of challenging the task, and can let you find the social value that you can't find in real life......"

"It's just that the feedback from the game is much faster and more specific than the feedback from learning, such as the increase in experience and level, such as gold and power-ups, but the benefits of learning will not be reflected until a long time or even many years later....."

"In short, games are designed to exploit human instinctive desires and vulnerability........ Actually, I think the practical significance of the game is also very ironic, it is obviously telling everyone that your desires are just a bunch of numbers, all illusory, but players are spending time pursuing the satisfaction of one desire after another, the strongest guild, the most expensive pet, the rarest mount, the most bull title, what is the difference between this and the top 500 companies, limited edition watches, the most expensive luxury cars, and the well-known false names? But the cost of getting these things in the game is lower....."

After a pause, my father said: "Of course, 'game' is called electronic drugs, and there is a little bit of truth, and it bears a heavier practical significance in human society, and I think it will become more and more important in the future..... However, this is not something you can experience at your age. ”

That night, he sat in front of the computer and played a game, unable to lift his energy, his father's words would ring in his ears from time to time, he watched an orc on the screen carrying an extremely cool golden "Ravenkes's Legacy" pass by him, running alone in the surprise of a group of artificial images, and looked at the purple weapon he had managed to get, thinking that it was just a beautiful pattern made by a string of data and art, and his young self instantly felt bored.

Is gaming a cure or poison for fighting time and alleviating loneliness?

Cheng Mo didn't know.

He just turned off the computer and looked at the dark screen and looked at his own mirror, just like he was in the elevator now in the mirror stainless steel.

Cheng Mo said softly: "Even if you drink, you can't indulge in it, although you want to satisfy your desires, you need to stop it in moderation......"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief, took his eyes off himself in the mirror, put everything that had just happened behind him, and stood silently in the elevator with white lights waiting to reach the first floor.

When I stepped out of the elevator, there was a cool breeze in the hallway, and the sidewalk outside was empty, except for the buildings under construction and the towering hanging towers that looked lonely under the cold moonlight.

Cheng Mo walked out of the corridor, the neon lights of the candy KTV behind him were still flashing tirelessly, the street lights were dim, and the convenience store opposite was lit up with a silent light.

Cheng Mo took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was only half an hour before the twelve o'clock of the gathering, and after thinking about it, Cheng Mo planned to call a taxi to open a room in the nearest five-star hotel for one night, Cheng Mo had developed the habit of carrying his ID card and passport, so he didn't worry about not being able to open a room without documents, but just when Cheng Mo entered the password and was about to enter the mobile phone interface, the screen of his Huawei mobile phone went black and turned off directly.....

Cheng Mo, who was standing on the sidewalk, suddenly had a big head, he knew that his mobile phone still had power, and he didn't believe that things would be so coincidental, the mobile phone broke down at this time, although Cheng Mo pressed the button to restart, but he didn't expect it at all, and sure enough, as he expected, his mobile phone didn't respond at all.

Cheng Mo put the blackened mobile phone back in his pocket, thinking that he didn't have a penny of cash on him, his brain exploded a little, the cashless high-tech society really pitted him to his grandmother's house this time.

However, Cheng Mo is not a complaining person, and finding a way to solve practical problems is the king.

Cheng Mo walked to the side of the sidewalk, looked left and right, the street was quiet, and he didn't find any possibility of the Mercedes-Benz lurking aside, so he walked across the road after a little thought, went to the convenience store opposite, and asked the aunt who worked the night shift where the nearest five-star hotel was.

Cheng Mo originally wanted to ask his aunt to borrow a mobile phone, but looking at the other party's somewhat defensive gaze, he knew that there was a high probability that he would be rejected, so he could only give up. When he walked out of the door, Cheng Mo glanced at the mineral water on the counter, licked his lips, and regretted that he didn't take an extra sip of water at KTV just now.

Cheng Mo, who was very desolate, walked out of the convenience store, and walked forward according to the direction told him by the clerk's aunt, Cheng Mo's current place is near Chang'an University of Technology, and the convenience store aunt didn't know that the hotel was five-star, but told Cheng Mo that there were many big hotels in Qujiangchi.

Chang'an at midnight is silent and desolate, only the player's lights are floating in the void, Cheng Mo once again feels what it is like to be lonely in the deepest part, that is, walking on the city streets at midnight, not only can he not contact anyone, but he has no money to open a house.

Considering the urgency of time, Cheng Mo had to run, but fortunately his physical fitness is good now, otherwise it would not only be lonely, but desperate.....

The lonely Cheng Mo ran alone on the streets of Chang'an at midnight, but fortunately, night running has been popular over the years, and occasionally passers-by saw him running by, and they didn't feel strange, and Cheng Mo didn't feel depressed, so he should have given all the addiction to running for so many years.

The penniless Cheng Mo ran all the way and asked questions, like a gamer in a strange city for the first time, the convenience store employees who guided him in the direction were like NPCs who guided him to complete the task, and the wild cats that suddenly came out of the flower beds, the cars speeding across the zebra crossing, a group of drunk passers-by, all slimes or goblins that could earn experience points...

After running for more than half an hour, he finally arrived at the Qujiang Pool, Cheng Mo looked at a pool of blue water sparkling in the lights of the city, and felt more and more thirsty, his throat was a little smoky, Cheng Mo gasped and walked along the Qujiang Pond, and finally arrived at the first Kaiyue Hotel, Cheng Mo searched around the parking lot, did not see the Mercedes-Benz S600, and ran to the front desk to ask, the staff at the front desk looked sweaty, and even the white shirt was wet Cheng Mo was naturally disgusted and told him no.

Cheng Mo was not discouraged, and went to the door to ask the security guard, if there was a better hotel nearby, the security guard pointed to the distance and said: "I saw that the inverted V-shaped building is not, the newly opened hotel called "" is much more expensive than our hotel." ”

Cheng Mo looked up at the hotel emitting a faint blue light under the haze sky, and felt that the hotel was not at all like the inverted V that the security guard said, but like a pyramid, thinking of the pyramid, Cheng Mo glanced at his watch, and he didn't know how far he had fallen in the copy of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

However, Cheng Mo did not regret that he shouted that sentence, and he did not intend to apologize to Bai Xiuxiu, because all this was part of his life, and since he blurted it out, it showed that there was indeed such a thought in his subconscious.

Desire is such a thing, not only needs restraint, but also needs guidance, the way to keep him from lusting for Bai Xiuxiu is to examine Bai Xiuxiu and find out Bai Xiuxiu's shortcomings or what he hates, instead of suppressing his desires and forcibly closing his mind.

Cheng Mo ran along Qujiang Pond towards the hotel, and when he ran across the Qujiang Chi East Road Bridge, Cheng Mo could see the front of the hotel completely, and finally understood why the security guard said that the hotel was inverted V, because from the front, the two buildings were obliquely upward, and the main building did form an inverted V, and there was a triangular building below the inverted V, and these buildings looked like a Masonic sub-rule ruler when connected......

And what is even more strange is that the huge gap between the two buildings resembles a sheep's head scepter, and the disc-shaped revolving restaurant at the top of the scepter is like a tray, which is clearly missing a pyramid shape of an all-seeing eye.

Suddenly, Cheng Mo's mind rang loudly, this shape is actually similar to the nine-story pyramid of the civil structure built on the tomb of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum in the inner world, such an idea made Cheng Mo's mind a little confused, thinking of the information he had checked: Duan Qingbo, the archaeological captain of the Qin Tombs, has always believed that the complexity of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum does not match the society of the Qin Dynasty, that is to say, the production level of the Qin State at that time may not have reached such conditions, so there are only external forces to help.

And this foreign power may be from the ancient Persian kingdom in the west, because there is a pit in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, and the remains of Persians have been found....

At this moment, Cheng Mo couldn't wait to enter the tomb of Qin Shi Huang in the inner world, and he felt that he might discover more interesting secrets there.

Cheng Mo took out his mobile phone and tried to turn it on again, but it still didn't work, he looked at the blackened screen and thought for a moment, then put his somewhat outdated Huawei mobile phone into his trouser pocket again, and walked towards the lobby of the hotel.

Even at midnight, the neatly dressed doorman still stands in front of the revolving door of the hotel, Cheng Mo can already see the luxurious and artistic decoration of the hotel through the tall glass curtain wall, the purple glass lamp like a fish fin hovers like a whirlpool on the top of the lobby four or five stories high, the silver metal circle and the colorful stick figure sculpture form an imagery of graphics, coupled with the cold color of the gray mesh marble, making the whole space look like a different time and space.....

Cheng Mo walked to the door and pretended to ask the doorman in red uniform standing at the door casually, "Hello, was there a Mercedes-Benz S600 just now to send a beautiful woman wearing a white top and black jeans over." ”

The doorman, who was half a head taller than Cheng Mo, glanced at Cheng Mo, who looked a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes...."

Cheng Mo said thank you, and walked to the sliding door on the side of the revolving door, the hall was brightly lit, Cheng Mo looked around, and found that the front desk was under a sharp geometric pattern background wall, the front desk of the hotel was not like the general hotel is an integrated front desk, but divided into five independent front desks, at this time only two front desks had staff, Cheng Mo made a little observation, gave up the longer and more beautiful one, and walked straight towards the front desk where the female staff with a more mellow and cute appearance stood up.

Although not as beautiful as the melon seed face next to him, the front desk girl in a gray suit chosen by Cheng Mo also looks dignified, seeing that her hair is wet and sticking to her cheeks, and the corners of her shirt are messy and scattered, Cheng Mo approached, and he didn't dislike him for not looking like a guest who came to the hotel to consume, and asked softly: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Cheng Mo knew that it was unlikely that he would be able to contact Bai Xiuxiu through the front desk staff, and he didn't plan to find Bai Xiuxiu, but in order to increase his credibility and make it impossible for him to refuse his request, Cheng Mo asked very slyly: "I'm with the lady in white who opened the room just now, can you help me make a phone call to her room and let her come down.....

Hearing Cheng Mo say this, the dignified-looking front desk girl with her hair in a bun was a little surprised, turned her head to look at the melon seed face with long hair and shawl next to her, and saw that the other party shook her head slightly, and immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry, we can't agree to this, please contact the guest yourself, okay?"

Cheng Mo didn't feel embarrassed, he took out his mobile phone and ID card from his pocket very calmly and said: "I'm sorry, I need to open a room, but my mobile phone is broken, and I don't have a card, can you please borrow your mobile phone, I'll replace my card and pay for it....."

THE GIRL AT THE FRONT DESK LOOKED AT THE HUAWEI MOBILE PHONE IN CHENG MO'S HAND, WHICH WAS NOT ONLY CHEAP BUT ALSO SOMEWHAT OUTDATED, AND THEN LOOKED AT CHENG MO'S ID CARD ON THE COUNTER, AND AFTER A LITTLE ENTANGLEMENT, SHE STILL TOOK OUT HER IPHONE FROM THE DRAWER, ASKED THE SECURITY GUARD FOR A TOOTHPICK, TOOK OFF HER MOBILE PHONE CARD, AND THEN HANDED IT TO CHENG MO.

THE SECURITY GUARD IN THE DARK BLUE UNIFORM STOOD BESIDE CHENG MO AND STARED AT HIM, AS IF HE WAS ON GUARD AGAINST CHENG MO RUNNING AWAY AFTER TAKING HIS MOBILE PHONE, CHENG MO DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXPRESSION, JUST CALMLY TOOK OFF HIS CARD AND CHANGED IT TO THE IPHONE OF THE GIRL AT THE FRONT DESK, BUT THE TRAGEDY WAS THAT HIS CARD WAS INSERTED, BUT THE MOBILE PHONE HAD NO SIGNAL.

It seems that Bai Xiuxiu didn't leave him a way out, Cheng Mo had no choice but to take off the mobile phone card again, and the front desk girl with a helpless and pitiful face said: "I'm sorry, it seems that even my mobile phone card is broken...... Can you do this, I will call my friend and ask him to transfer the money to you through WeChat or Alipay, and you are helping me pay the room fee and deposit...."

The girl at the front desk was embarrassed to refuse Cheng Mo, nodded and said "yes", changed into her mobile phone card and handed the phone to Cheng Mo again, Cheng Mo dialed Fu Yuanzhuo's mobile phone under the watchful eye of two front desk girls and a security guard.

At this time, Cheng Mo had to be glad that Fu Yuanzhuo's phone number was all serial, and his memory was not bad, otherwise this time it would be really embarrassing, but the misfortune was that Cheng Mo entered the phone, and after pressing the dial, he was immediately hung up, Cheng Mo called twice in a row, and there was no doubt that Fu Yuanzhuo set up strange calls to prohibit dialing in......

So the atmosphere became a little embarrassed under the onlookers of the three people.

However, Cheng Mo, who has experienced strong winds and waves, is not the kind of person who will feel embarrassed, he took his mobile phone and thought about it seriously, in addition to Fu Yuanzhuo's easy-to-remember serial number, the phone number that can still be remembered is Song Xizhe's original 0101 phone number and uncle's, most of the other people's phone numbers have no rules, Cheng Mo rarely calls, and generally uses WeChat to contact, so naturally he can't remember.

Song Xizhe's phone number has been changed, and Cheng Mo, the new phone number, also does not remember. Although he didn't want to trouble his uncle at this time, and he didn't want them to know where he was, Cheng Mo had no better choice at this time, so he could only dial his uncle's phone.....

Cheng Mo looked at the mobile phone in his hand, a little speechless, it seemed that the whole world was against Cheng Mo. He raised his head, handed the phone back to the girl at the front desk who was barely smiling, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, it seems that the two people who remember the phone can't count on it...."

After a pause, Cheng Mo turned his head to look at the café on the right side of the lobby, pointed and said, "Where can I sit for the night?

The girl at the front desk turned her head again to look at the melon seed face beside her, the two of them probably encountered such a strange request for the first time, they looked at each other for a while, they didn't know how to answer, the front desk girl picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "This..... Could you please wait a minute..... I'll ask the manager!"

After speaking, the girl at the front desk walked to the side with a walkie-talkie, and the young security guard standing next to Cheng Mo put his hands behind his back, looked Cheng Mo up and down, and said to Cheng Mo, who looked immature, in Mandarin with the taste of northern Shaanxi: "You came with your parents? Why don't you contact your parents? It can't be that you have been deceived by pyramid schemes, right?"

Cheng Mo said lightly: "The woman who came in just now wrapped me for a month, but when it was time to settle the bill just now, she left me alone and ran away...... I'll have to wait here until she pays ....."

Cheng Mo's words made the young security guard stunned, "Ah~!", and asked in surprise: "Bao ..... How to .....wrap you?

Cheng Mo turned his head to look at the young security guard, and said a little inexplicably: "How else can you wrap it?"

The beautiful melon seed face front desk couldn't help laughing out loud, but the quality of the front desk of the big hotel was different, so he quickly turned his head and snickered.

The security guard also grinned, looked at Cheng Mo and shook his head and said, "Dude, I don't think you can be like this, no matter what hatred you have with others, you can't ruin other people's reputations!"

Cheng Mo let out an expressionless "oh".

At this time, the dignified-looking front desk girl came over and said apologetically: "Sir, I'm sorry, our café is for business, and it has been closed for the night, so we can't provide services..... I'm very sorry. ”

Cheng Mo spat out a turbid breath, blew up his forehead bangs, and made a very unreasonable request again, "Sister, can I borrow money from you, please help me open a room, you can put my ID card here for you, and I'll give you the money when I check out tomorrow." ”

If it weren't for finding a safe place to activate the carrier immediately, it would not be impossible for Cheng Mo to hang out all night, but time was pressing, and Cheng Mo could only be a scoundrel.

However, Cheng Mo's request can be said to be quite nonsensical, so that the other three people present were a little dumbfounded, looking at Cheng Mo's eyes were also very strange, when the dignified girl had not answered, the young security guard spoke, "Dude, it's not long before dawn, so let's do it! I don't think you look like a liar, I'll give you twenty yuan, you go to the Internet café next to you for an all-nighter, you can also contact your relatives and friends through the Internet, and you can get the money during the day and come to open a house, what do you think?"

The security guard's arrangement can be said to be reasonable, but how could Cheng Mo let the body spend the night in an unsafe place like an Internet café, Cheng Mo ignored the security guard, his target was the dignified girl, and he saw her at the beginning, so he stared at the dignified girl and said sincerely: "Sister, I really trouble you to help me with this, I didn't borrow money to run, but lived in the hotel, you can't receive my money tomorrow, you can call the police or call my family directly....."

The dignified girl refused Cheng Mo twice, and it was a little difficult to say in the face of Cheng Mo's request, not to mention that Cheng Mo did not borrow money to go, but spent money in the hotel, so the dignified girl was entangled and said: "Okay..... Let's do it!"

Cheng Mo hurriedly handed his ID card to the dignified girl, asked her to check in, and said, "Thank you, sister, I will repay your ..... tomorrow"

The dignified girl smiled reluctantly, did not speak, and after operating for a while, she handed the room card and ID card to Cheng Mo.

"ID card you hold...."

The dignified girl smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. ”

Cheng Mo said "oh", took the ID card and room card, and said again: "Thank you, I will return the money to you tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he walked towards the elevator, and there was a voice from the security guard behind him who hated iron and steel: "Xiao Zhou, what are you doing with that neurotic? He just said that he was a duck, what did he say that the woman who was so beautiful and temperamental took care of him at the beginning..... What the hell, he's all taken care of like that, so a little fresh meat like me can be a movie star....."

The melon seed face next to him also echoed: "I see that you have more than 2,000 yuan hanging ..... Half a month's salary! Money will be trivial, so I'm afraid of causing some trouble..... Why didn't you leave your ID card just now?"

"I don't think he looks like a liar. ”

"A great liar doesn't look like a liar, what else is a liar like a liar?"

"Nonsense makes sense....."

"But I borrowed it all..... What can I do?"

"Hey, you can't retreat, let's go to tear it up tomorrow! When you wait for the next shift, remember to explain to Sister Wang, and ask her to look at the guests in room 1706...."

————————————————

When Cheng Mo arrived in the elevator hall, he couldn't hear those conversations anymore, after all, he was not in the carrier state, and when he arrived in the room, Cheng Mo didn't delay for a second, and he didn't have time to take a bath, so he lay on the bed and directly activated the carrier.

When you set the resurrection point in the ruins of the inner world, you don't need to go to the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to enter the inner world, as long as you choose to enter the resurrection point when activating the carrier, you can pay a certain amount of bitcoin to appear at the resurrection point, but this restriction is very many, when the resurrection point of the inner world is farther away from your body, the more expensive the bitcoin you are required to pay.

Secondly, when you choose to activate the carrier outside the resurrection point, then the resurrection point will be invalid, and you must pass through the entrance of the real world again, enter the land of the ruins of the inner world to activate the resurrection point again, and the next time you can continue to choose to let the carrier appear at the resurrection point, which is also the reason why Cheng Mo has not used the carrier just now.

Cheng Mo appeared at the foot of the huge nine-story civil pyramid, looking up, this appearance is a mountain-like building in the form of a wooden corridor surrounded by a wooden corridor, it is really spectacular and unimaginable, the length of the base alone is more than 500 meters, the area is more than 250,000 square meters, and the height is at least 110 meters, compared to the base side of the tower that has been recognized as the largest building in the world - the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt is 230 meters long. Covering an area of 52,900 square meters, even now, this mausoleum is the largest building in the area, which can be called the world's largest human wonder!

Cheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief, there was no one around, only the broken terracotta figurines and the big golden bird hovering in the air, obviously the team had already gone to the mausoleum, Cheng Mo was not in a hurry, he circled along the huge base, and found nothing special before climbing the stairs.....
