Chapter 97: The Secret of the Arcade (5/6)

...... video game arcades?

Looking at this dilapidated building, Song Qingci and Ji Qianqin both had a "? "Come on.

It has to be said that the first impression of something is important.

For example, in the game hall in front of you, the decorations that seem to be blown off by the wind at any moment, and the garbage such as cans and plastic bottles scattered around the glass doors, all reveal how long no one has ever set foot in this place.

At the first glance of seeing this place with their own eyes, Ji Qianqin and Song Qingci didn't really want to go in.

Bering, however, didn't care.

His fingers brushed lightly over the handle of the glass door, rubbing the mottled marks of time on it, and he was silent for a moment and sighed softly.

"Time is the sharpest blade." He said.

Once, as recorded in the diary, this place was not so dilapidated and desolate.

Although there weren't many people here at that time, there were still some uncles with cigarette butts and sandals who came to this place to spend what little youth they had left.

This was also a place where I personally set foot in the original world, and it was still popular at the time.

But now, not many people are here.

After all, a video game arcade is opened in a village where there are not many people, and either people are stupid and have a lot of money, or they are sick in the brain.

It is clear that the one who opened this store belongs to the latter.

So he died for many years, and the shop was deserted.

But even if it's deserted, it shouldn't be like this. ’

With his hand released from the doorknob, Bering took a step back, his eyes looking up and down, looking at the whole picture.

Sure enough, there is some kind of supernatural here.

In other words, something has become a more mysterious existence through the empty shell of this "dead" game hall.

Recalling the contents of the diary, Bering bowed slightly.

Immediately after, he turned his head to look at Ji Qianqin and Song Qingci.

"Push this door open," he said, "and behind it you may find the secret you care about." ”

Listen to this sentence.

Ji Qianqin, who originally looked disgusted, and Song Qingci, who was expressionless, changed their faces slightly.

After they glanced at each other, Ji Qianqin nodded.

Then she took two steps forward, and pushed the door open with both hands hard and gently.

Behind the door, there are rows of old-fashioned game consoles.

These machines have racing cars, marbles, and things like claw machines.

And these consoles, without exception, are covered in thick dust and cobwebs, and some are even covered with pale green moss, with ink-like water stains on the side.

Such a scene is clearly not interesting.

Ji Qianqin couldn't help frowning.

She turned around: "Boss......"

However, before she could react, in the next second, Ji Qianqin's Tong hole shrank slightly!

When she turned around, she found that behind her, who had been empty, there was an old man with a slumped figure and a drooping old man!

The old man didn't make a sound when he appeared, he seemed to appear behind them out of thin air, his movements were so subtle that it seemed to teleport!

Sensing Ji Qianqin's horror, Song Qingci glanced back suspiciously.

This look directly startled her.

Compared with Ji Qianqin, the experienced Song Qingci obviously thought of more things.

She noticed that although the guy in front of her looked like an ordinary, old, dying man, he clearly had features that did not belong to a human being!

His hair was gray, whiter than the snow on the snowy mountains; At the same time, his eyes are also very dim, and there seems to be eye droppings in the corners of his eyes that have not been washed for a long time. On each side of his shoulders grew a pair of wings - the one on his left shoulder was open and fluttering, and the right one was closed as if he were sleeping.

There is no doubt that this is not a race that can be classified as "human"!

Song Qingci didn't hesitate for a moment, and quickly pulled out two blades from the violin case behind him, the sharp and bright blades reflected the sunlight, like a flickering sun!

However, before she could draw the knife, she was held down by a pair of hands.

Bai Ling pressed one hand on Song Qingci's hands holding the knife and shook his head gently at her.

His meaning is obvious, "don't attack".

Looking at Bering's meaning, Song Qingci couldn't help frowning.

She wanted to break free of Bering's hand, but soon, Ji Qianqin also held down her hand.

Ji Qianqin looked at Song Qingci and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, listen to the boss." ”

As a member of "Bright Day", Ji Qianqin is also a person who recognizes Bering's instructions.

During the time she followed Bering, her biggest feeling was that the man in front of her seemed to know everything, and there was hardly anything that could exceed his expectations.

Even though he always claims that he is just an "ordinary person who has seen a lot of things", Ji Qianqin knows very well that the breadth and depth of Bering's eyes are definitely far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

It must be a "year" as a unit, spanning countless days and nights!

That's why she reminded Song Qingci.

Under the simultaneous suppression of the two people, even Song Qingci had to stop his actions.

She withdrew her knife and stared at the old man opposite.

It just so happened that at this time, the old man spoke.

His face was facing the three people in front of him, and although he seemed to be looking at them, his eyes were unfocused: "You guys...... Want to exchange? ”

Exchange?

What to exchange?

Song Qingci and Ji Qianqin had such a question in their minds.

This time, they made the same move very tacitly.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Bering.

Facing the eyes of the two, Bering's expression was calm and calm.

"This is the game hall," he said, "the exchange, the exchange of game currency." ”

Oh, so it's in-game currency.

Ji Qianqin breathed a sigh of relief, she nodded, and just wanted to take out her mobile phone from her pocket, planning to pay online.

However, before she could finish her actions, she was stopped by Bering again: "No need. ”

Bering pressed Ji Qianqin's hand and glanced at the old man next to him: "The game currency of this game hall is not exchanged for money. ”

"If you want to spend here, you have to come up with your own 'treasures'. It can be a sword, a skill, a body part, or even a ...... Memory. ”

When this sentence is spoken.

The old man, who had looked sleepy, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Bering.

After a glance, the old man withdrew his eyes again, and the whole person fell into that dim and drooping old state again.

Bering silently withdrew his hand.

He whispered, "Let's take the things you don't value too much and exchange them for some in-game currency." ”

"The game currency in this game hall can be exchanged for a lot of good things. And among these good things, there is the key to your heart's desire. ”

Glancing at the two of them, Bering said calmly, "For example, the missing piece of the puzzle that is sealed in your memory. ”

"After all, there have been two people who have set foot in this similar place."

"They, one is called Ji Zi, and the other is Song Weilu."

As soon as this sentence came out.

The faces of Ji Qianqin and Song Qingci changed at the same time!
