Chapter 163 "Since we will say goodbye in the summer, let's meet again in the fall."

On the morning of February 2, the corridor between cars 4 and 5.

The sky was clear, and the winter sea breeze carried a damp and cool scent, through the windows of the corridor, caressing the cheeks of the boys and girls, and shallowly wetting their clothes.

Five slouched figures swept down the hallway, two girls in front and three teenagers behind, and their target was Carriage 3, where the sequence of events took place.

Anson Lu put his hands behind his head and said disdainfully: "Crying Baolong, can you remember better next time, just because you said something wrong, we moved all the fish in the aquarium carriage out of the tank!" ”

"Isn't that a problem with your quality?" Asuka hugged her elbow and snorted coldly.

"It's better to say that there is something wrong with the mind." Yuri also commented sharply, she didn't expect that because Asuka said the wrong car where the sequence of events occurred, the three of them directly turned over the No. 11 car (aquarium car).

"You just say they have a sick brain." Asuka sighed softly, and her feelings were complicated when she thought of the messy appearance of car 11: the fish tank that fell to the ground, the salmon bouncing on the ground.

The most outrageous thing is that in order to trigger the hidden event, Anson Deer summoned the floating fish in the tank and let it enter the reservoir to interact with those sea animals, and the ending was ...... It ends with the evolution of the floating fish in the tank into a shark and the gnawing of all the fish in one bite!

"The heads of these three guys are so off the line that they can't be taken off the line anymore! Especially Chu Qimo, I originally thought he was the only normal boy in the union. Asuka whispered.

"Everyone's not normal......," Yuri also whispered, "that's why it's a weird family." ”

"Well, even you think so." Asuka has a headache and supports her forehead.

Urushihara took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "Miss Asuka, this is clearly your problem, if it weren't for your mistake, we wouldn't have confirmed it to that point." ”

Chu Qimo carried the sword bag on his back and nodded, "At least after discovering that we made a mistake, we should have contacted us through the friend panel earlier." ”

"I'm sorry about that, but the friends panel is disabled in the first part of this quest." Asuka pursed her lips.

"Alright, it's all over." Qi Yuan Yu casually threw the disposable drink cup into the trash can in the aisle, "The focus is on the sequence of events in the third car, which one of us is professional." ”

"The third car is the library car." Yuri was impressed by this, but it was better to say that there was an amnesia, and she couldn't forget it.

"The library car, needless to say, must be from the old chess players." President Deer is inexplicably confident.

"Lujun, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, it'll be revealed later."

"Raven, so how long have you been drinking this cup of coffee?"

"It's not about the amount of coffee, it's about drinking it for a long time."

"Drink a cup of coffee in the morning, and we'll talk about it when we're sick."

Soon, through the No. 4 carriage with the national costumes of various countries, and across the corridor where the sea breeze blows and the white flag flutters, the five people came to the No. 3 carriage.

This 50-meter-long carriage is an aisle in the middle, and rows of bookshelves are arranged on both sides, where books from all over the world gather, and the shelves are very carefully classified, which can definitely be called a blessing for book lovers.

Even Ritsu Urushihara and Yuri, who are very scary readers, often see unfamiliar works on the shelves.

It's important to note that the player's eyes have their own language translation capabilities, so they don't have to worry about the translation at all - the game system uses the most advanced and contextual technology to translate the text in the book to perfect effect.

"So....." Anson Deer narrowed his eyes, "where are the sequence events you are talking about?" ”

Asuka Uesugi put her hand on her chin and looked around.

Soon she walked to the fifth bookshelf on the right, stretched out her white hand, and grasped the fifth book in the fifth row, a book in autumn yellow, with a picture on the coverβ€”dusk, falling leaves, and two backs walking on the path in the woods.

Anson Lu looked at it, and the title of the book was "Autumn Day with Falling Snow".

"I guess it's this book, and when I picked it up, it triggered the sequence of events." Tomorrow said with a lot of incense.

Yuri was looking around, observing the other books in the library car, she wasn't too interested in the sequence of events; Chu Qimo was the sword bag that had just been taken off his back, the incident happened in this kind of place, and there was probably no need to fight.

Anson Deer stared at the book in Asuka's hand and raised his eyebrows: "Huh? So what about sequential events? ”

"Guess?"

"Looks like it...."Urushihara shrugged his shoulders and guessed, "I have to open it." ”

"yes, you guessed it." Asuka said, "Are you ready?" ”

"Advice to stop talking nonsense, life is limited." Anson Deer yawned.

"Oh."

Asugi Uesugi frowned lightly and opened the book "Autumn Day in Falling Snow" in her hand.

The next moment, the system prompt sounded in the ears of the five people in the carriage, and the icy sea breeze suddenly came, greedily and cruelly blowing their silhouettes, and the whole carriage was cold.

[Event Name: Autumn Day with Falling Snow.] 】

[Event Description: Within three minutes, read the book assigned by the event and answer exactly five questions about the contents of the book.] 】

[Event requirements: a specific sequence of players present (player presence detected, sequence name - Snow Walker.] 】

[Participation limit: 2 people]

[Note: During Event Challenges, two players will block out outside sounds.] Also, the rest of the players will not be able to enter the carriage and will not be able to interfere with the challenge by any means]

[Number of attempts: 0/1 (If you fail, you will not be able to repeat the sequence event)]

"Lujun, it seems that both of us made a mistake." Seeing this, Qi Yuan Ritsu said in a calm tone, "This sequence of events belongs to the 'Snow Walker'. ”

"However, other people can participate, it just needs to be Yuri present." Anson Deer shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Let's see what the reward is." ”

"Snow Walker...."Asuka Uesugi raised an eyebrow and looked at Yuri, "It means that Yuri must be included in the two players, and it doesn't matter who the other person is." ”

Yuri was expressionless, and didn't seem to have a trace of mood waves, just quietly looking at the event panel.

[Event Reward: 10,000 XP; A random player who participates in the event is selected to acquire the skill - Falling Leaves (the player gains a certain amount of damage bonus, regardless of the channel, the damage bonus will be higher the closer to May) (the skill disappears at the end of May). 】

As the "Event Reward" swiped out on the panel, all five were silent for a few seconds, each with a thoughtful look on their faces.

This reward can be obtained by anyone, as long as the event is completed.

However, the content of the incident is very demanding, reading a book in three minutes, and answering five questions correctly - in Ansonlu's cognition, there are only two people in the union who may complete this event: Raven and Yuri.

Yurihara has a short-term memory that has been developed through extensive reading and deliberate practice – if you are lucky, you might be able to read the book in three minutes and answer those five questions correctly.

In Yuri, the nature is different - Ankaches syndrome has brought her a superb, unforgettable memory, and it is not a problem to read a book in three minutes.

Anson Lu glanced at the words 'countdown' on the panel again, the sea breeze ruffled his hair, and the messy and dark strands of hair obscured his eyes.

He opened his mouth slightly, and was silent for a moment.

"Sure enough, it's Yuri's incident." He concluded.

"Isn't this nonsense, the sequence names are all laid out." Asuka was speechless.

"This skill sounds very strong, but the world boss will come in June, and this skill will disappear in May, and it won't be useful at all then." Chu Qimo made a shallow evaluation.

"Sure enough, the book can't be opened...."Asuka Uesugi showed off the book "Autumn Day in the Falling Snow" in her hand, "Unless you choose the people who will participate in the event, the book will be glued and won't be opened at all." ”

"If you can't look at it in advance, there's no talk of cheating." Chu Qimo said.

Qi Yuan looked around at everyone, "So, who is going to participate in this event?" ”

Anson Lu raised his eyebrows and said without thinking: "Crow, your short-term memory is comparable to Yuri, three minutes is too little, you two can work together." ”

"If you have to say it, Miss Yuri can do it alone." Qi Yuan Ritsu shrugged his shoulders and said surgingly: "It stands to reason that it is not my turn to play at all." ”

"That's right." Asuka crossed her waist with one hand, "Then it's the same for everyone, this event Yuri can complete it alone." ”

"That's right." Chu Qimo nodded, "It doesn't make much sense for anyone to go to school, because there is only one book, and it is impossible for two people to read it separately, and the reading efficiency will not be improved; And when it comes to memory, no one can compare to Miss Yury. ”

"Well, then, let Miss Yuri decide who will come." Urushihara said as he didn't know where to take out a bottle of drink, which was a bottled Nescafe.

The taste is average, but it satisfies his caffeine craving.

Yuri heard them and put down the book he was looking at.

"What?" She asked in an emotionless voice.

"Pick someone to be your teammate." Asuka said.

Hearing this, Yuri was silent for a moment, she turned her cheek, and her clear eyes stared at Anson Deer without blinking.

Anson Lu didn't speak, just put his hands in his pockets and pouted.

"Expected." The raven smiled.

"Then let's go out and wait outside." Chu Qimo said, "During the incident, the rest of the players will not be able to enter the carriage. ”

Asugi Uesugi was the first to get out of the carriage, she handed the copy of "Autumn in the Snow" to Yuri, and said without looking back:

"Come on."

Soon, the three of them got out of the car.

Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Why did you choose me?" ”

"You're next to me, I can calm down."

"Okay, then you read the book, I won't bother you, try to read as fast as possible, the time given by the system is only three minutes."

"Okay."

Yuri raised his snow-white hand and reached for the event panel; Anson Lu also stretched out his hand and touched the panel, and the hands of the two were close to him.

[Number of players: 1/2]

[Number of players: 2/2]

[The players who have been confirmed to participate in the event are Anson Deer (old chess player) and Yuri (Snow Country Walker), the sequence event has officially begun, and the permission to open "Falling Snowy Autumn" has been unlocked. 】

[Please read within three minutes, after which questions will begin and the book will disappear.] 】

Anson Deer and Yuri stood against the wall of the carriage, Yuri opened the book and looked down at it; Anson Deer stared at the ceiling quietly, occasionally glancing at Yuri with his peripheral vision, her snow-white hair obscuring her silhouette and making her expression unclear.

She's supposed to be serious, though.

Anson Deer estimated from the thickness of the book - the book is about 200 pages, according to the system's requirements, 200 pages can be read in three minutes, that is, more than one page per second.

Yuri moved her clear eyes, and every time she saw a page, she stretched out her white fingers and quickly turned the next page, and in the back, she turned the page faster and faster, just turning the page after a glance.

Anson Lu had heard her say that she didn't like to read like this, and even if she had a vivid memory, she wished she could immerse herself in the process of putting every line of words into her mind, rather than just one page at a time, so as to pour undigested knowledge into her mind.

[Countdown to reading: 2 minutes 33 seconds ......]

[Reading countdown: 2 minutes and 20 seconds ......]

[Reading countdown: 1 minute and 10 seconds ......]

Anson Deer was silent, and didn't want to disturb her, the number of challenges to the sequence event was only once, and if it failed, it would be gone, Yuri was very competitive and didn't like to lose this kind of game that he couldn't come again.

[Countdown to reading: 55 seconds ......]

In a state of high concentration, she didn't say a word, just quietly flipped through the book, the tide slowly lapping the train tracks, and the sound of seagulls lingering in her ears.

[Countdown to reading: 20 seconds ......]

At this point, Yuri's reading progress was nearing the end, she had read more than 180 pages, and there were only more than 10 pages that she needed to solve.

However, her fingers suddenly stopped, and this was near the end of the page, and the girl stared silently at a line of text like the beautiful eyes of the Icelandic aurora.

Anson Deer turned his head and wanted to ask her if she was wrong, but she thought about it.

Following her gaze, he also saw the line of words - [We have walked through winter, spring, and summer together, but autumn is always something that I can't touch.] ]

[Reading countdown: 9 seconds ......]

[Reading countdown: 8 seconds ......]

Time was still passing, and Anson Lu was about to open her mouth to remind, but Yuri took the lead, she opened her lips slightly, and said in an emotionless voice, "It's okay." ”

Then she flipped to the next page and quickly read through the few remaining pages.

At the same time, the countdown is coming to an end.

[Reading countdown: 0 seconds ......]

[Next, start the answering session.] 】

The five questions posed by the system are: 1. When did the teenager and the girl in the book meet? 2. Where did the teenagers and girls in the book ski for the first time? 3. In Nice, France, when the two looked at the Mediterranean Sea, the teenager said something. 4. When in Norway, the girl gave up her plans to ski because of something. 5. What is the ending like at the end of the book?

Anson Lu didn't speak, didn't look at Yuri, just observed her with his peripheral vision - he knew Yuri quite well, and if he wasn't sure, she would just put her hand on her chin and start thinking.

Yuri closed the book and hid it behind him along with his hands.

She lowered her eyes, her snow-white hair swaying gently in the sea breeze, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito buzzing in her ears.

"December."

"Hokkaido."

"You can cover my eyes, I can't see it, maybe I won't be sad."

"Skiing became boring because the person wasn't around."

"In autumn, in the snowy forest, in the overhead corridor, they hold hands and chat."

She answered the five questions one by one, and answered them fluently, but her voice was so low that Anson Lu could barely hear what she was saying, and she didn't seem to want him to hear them.

[Sequence Event - Autumn Day of Falling Snow has been completed.] 】

[Event Evaluation: SSS Grade (Flawless)]

[Two players who participated in the event have earned 10,000 experience points; In addition, the sequence player "Snow Walker" obtains the time-limited skill "Time Like a Falling Leaf". 】

After a few seconds, Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and gave a thumbs up to the Icelandic girl beside him: "Perfect, worthy of the amnesia girl in our weird family, I really finished reading a book in three minutes!" ”

Yuri didn't speak, the book she hid behind her slowly disappeared, like falling snow, dissolving into her palm, she didn't look at it, but the palm of her hand had a cold touch, and it was fleeting.

"What's wrong? The book is too good-looking and has an endless aftertaste? Anson Lu asked.

Yuri still didn't speak, just lowered his head, and the train passed by an island and entered a tunnel, and the world suddenly darkened, and all the light was swallowed up by this tunnel.

Only the sound of roaring driving still resounded in my ears.

The dim light on the side wall of the tunnel shrouded the cheeks of the boy and girl, and time seemed to pass slowly, and Anson Lu stood quietly beside her, not saying a word.

As the train neared the end of the tunnel, a ray of light from the sky shone in, as if piercing the dead world.

The sea breeze blew the girl's snow-white hair.

Yuri's small face was shrouded in a surging halo.

A line of tears slipped slightly from the corners of her reddened eyes, and she stretched out her pale hand from behind her, gently stroking the tear stains on her cheeks, her expression was a little puzzled, but she was still expressionless in general.

Anson Deer looked at her in a daze.

This is, tears?

A person with a lack of affection will cry?

In the ten years recorded in that Icelandic document, no matter how depressing her life was, she never shed a single tear from beginning to end.

Once, I didn't cry.

"Autumn." Yuri whispered, her clear eyes as if they were covered by a layer of mist.

"What?" Anson Deer asked blankly.

"I will walk with you through winter, spring, and when summer comes, I will say goodbye to you." "Autumn is untouchable for me," she said. ”

Anson Lu was stunned for a long time, a little speechless, her throat seemed to be stuck by something, the sudden sea breeze faded, and the snow-white hair sprinkled down and covered her eyes.

But the corners of the Icelandic girl's eyes were still scribbling tears, and her snow-white skin was soaked with water.

Anson Deer knew as if he was going to say something, but his mind was really confused, and Yuri in front of him was a strange stranger - a man who couldn't feel sadness, but shed tears.

His brown eyes were lowered, his hair was tossed by the wind, and the two of them were silent in the quiet carriage, no matter how loud the roar of the train was, it could not drown out the silent thoughts.

After a long silence, Anson Lu raised his head and said incoherently:

"Saying goodbye is actually not something to be afraid of."

Yuri still bowed her head, her hands behind her back, she stood there like an ice sculpture, her snow-white hair swaying in the wind, gently scratching the tips of her snow-white ears.

"Yuri, since we will say goodbye in the summer, then ......" After a pause, Anson Lu took a deep breath and said softly, "Let's meet again in the fall." ”

At this moment, the train left the tunnel and entered the sea again, the surging tide beat the tunnel fiercely, the roar of the engine seemed to tear people's eardrums, the brilliant sun burned the sea, and flocks of sea birds swept through the sky, sprinkling white feathers with a clatter.

Under the snow-white hair, a glimmer of light flashed through the girl's mist-shrouded eyes.

"Well," she said, "in the fall, see you again." ”
