Chapter 209: No One Sleeps Tonight (Part 1)
For Gu Qian, who is now twenty-six, it stands to reason that there should not be a trace of fantasy in her life.
It's like a mysterious magical world, a different world full of fantasy and adventure, and a magnificent alien adventure. None of these things exist.
Of course, this is also a very normal thing, after all, as people grow older, people's inner cognition will become more and more consistent with society, and there is no room for a trace of fantasy.
However, just tonight, Gu Qian's cognition, which has almost been assimilated into society, has been greatly impacted.
The mysterious temple of the mind, all kinds of intricate trial challenges, and cognitive monsters invisible to ordinary people
As these things came through Jiang Zhengzhi's mouth, Gu Qian also unconsciously wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with a towel all the way.
When Jiang Zheng put the previous incident about the "Temple of the Mind. Shen Family Courtyard" after explaining the matter.
Gu Qian realized that her back was soaked with sweat.
There is no doubt that all this that Jiang Zheng said is true.
Only in this way can we explain what happened to the pig-headed knight that Gu Qian saw with her own eyes just now.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Zheng picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip, put down the cup and said with a smile:
"How? It's shocking, right, it's normal, and after a while you get used to it. ”
Human beings are very adaptable, and even if they see outrageous things a few times, they will gradually not feel outrageous.
When Gu Qian heard this, she took a deep breath, picked up her water cup and took a sip, then sighed:
"Indeed. It's a very shocking fact.,I didn't expect that there is such a world in the world.,It's like playing a game.。 ”
"Hehehe, are you talking about the 'Fallen Lord' that was broadcast live before? I think there was a world in that game. ”
"Don't make me remember such a terrible thing, you don't know how badly I was abused when I played this game."
"It's really miserable, but it's a lot better than when you first started playing action games, when you played 'Hollow Knight' but didn't beat it for a month."
"And the face to say such things! It's all recommended by your bastard! What to say that 'Hollow Knight' is easy to use, and newcomers to the action can also play, I believe in your evil! ”
mentioned the hardships that Jiang Zheng had suffered when he introduced the game to himself for live play.
Gu Qian couldn't help but grit her teeth, picked up the water cup in front of her and took a sip again, so as not to blurt out a national scolding.
However, when drinking water, although Gu Qian's brows were furrowed, the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling.
Because of this relaxed and pleasant dialogue atmosphere, she feels like she is back in that online world.
In the past two years, "Black Canopy" and "Green Onions, Ginger and Garlic Don't Green Onion and Garlic" have often chatted like this on WeChat.
For Gu Qian, who lives a very depressed life in the real world, only by hiding under the holster of "Black Canopy" can she speak freely like this, and say whatever she wants.
And being able to chat with people in the real world so easily and happily is something that Gu Qian never dared to think of before.
After moistening her lips a little, Gu Qian put down the water glass and apologized to Jiang Zheng seriously:
"Ahem, Jiang Zheng, I seem to have had some misunderstandings with you before, I'm really sorry."
But isn't it, now, Gu Qian naturally knows that everything Jiang Zheng said before is true.
He did come to help Gu Qian, and Gu Qian was really facing Bai Hui's troubles.
The three gangsters outside are really not the actors Jiang Zheng was looking for, but real thugs.
So from the very beginning, it was Gu Qian who was thinking nonsense there.
I also feel that people are here to pick up girls, and I feel that people are threatening to do strange things.
Thinking about it now, her thoughts and actions were simply embarrassing and thrown home, which made Gu Qian a little red-faced.
Seeing that Gu Qian's ears were a little red because of embarrassment, Jiang Zheng also joked unceremoniously:
"I still like the way you were unruly at the beginning, how about you recover?"
"Now that you're back in shape, it's time for us to go out, right?"
Gu Qian said as she looked at the wound on Jiang Zheng's arm.
Although the wound had stopped the bleeding under the bandaging of the stockings, the wound was still there.
With such a big trauma, you still have to go out quickly to find a hospital and get a few stitches, at least Gu Qian thinks so.
Who knew that Jiang Zheng shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and said in a relaxed tone:
"I want to go out too, but it's useless for me to think about it, someone has to come and catch us."
Jiang Zheng's "perfect suit" contains a special storage space, which can come in at will but cannot go out at will.
Whenever someone enters it, the space must be opened from the outside by another owner to remove it.
In other words, if the other two holders of the "Perfect Match".
That is, if Su Mei and Shen Yunyi didn't expect to open the door, the two of them would not be able to leave here.
Hearing this, Gu Qian didn't realize the seriousness of the problem for a while, so she nodded and said:
"Then you can call them and ask them to open the space, anyway, where to get out or not."
"Well, that's another problem, the cell phone signal can't be transmitted in this space, so I can't contact them at all."
Jiang Zheng took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of Gu Qian, and he could clearly see that the signal on it was a huge "X".
Suddenly, Gu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly jumped up from the sofa and shouted:
"Wait, so you mean the two of us are stuck here and can't get out?"
"It's just that I can't get out for the time being, as for when I can go out, it depends on when the two of them notice that something is wrong, but I should be able to detect it soon, after all, there is Mi'er."
Although Jiang Zheng did not arrange for Mi'er to follow him when he came out to date Gu Qian.
But Mi'er is also his maid, and when she finds out that Jiang Zheng hasn't come home later, she will naturally call him.
At that time, Mi'er will definitely find that Jiang Zheng's phone can't get through, so it is easy to judge that some accident has happened to him.
"When Mi'er finds out that I'm missing, I will definitely contact Yunyi immediately, Yunyi can't find anyone anymore, so she will naturally open the storage space to see if there are any clues inside, so don't worry."
"I see." Gu Qian looked at the jade pendant hanging on Jiang Zheng's chest, and couldn't help but say enviously;
"This little thing is really amazing, it can actually share storage space with three people, which is similar to the two-dimensional backpack in the game."
"Hmph, envy, right? It's useless to be envious, this is the only three palace rewards in the world, unless there is a new palace, otherwise, it seems that there really is. ”
Jiang Zheng only reacted halfway through his words, and now it seems that a second "Soul Palace" has really appeared in this Jiang City.
After all, the previous "temple of the mind. The Shen Family Courtyard has completely disappeared with the dissipation of Mi'er's heart knot.
And even if it doesn't disappear, there is absolutely no such strange creature as the "pig-headed horseman" in it.
Speaking of this, Gu Qian also asked curiously:
"By the way, the master of the hall last time was the maid of the Shen family, Mi'er, who will be the master of the hall this time?"
"I'm not sure to say, but judging from the fact that the pig-headed knight charged at the two of us as soon as he came up, most of the hall masters either have an enmity with you or a grudge against me."
According to Jiang Zheng's previous experience, the cognitive creatures in the "Soul Palace" will not run out and attack people casually.
And the reason why Jiang Zheng, Bai Xiaoli and Shen Yunyi were attacked by the "Ice Maid" a long time ago was mostly because of Shen Yunyi.
At that time, the "temple of the mind. Mi'er, the owner of the Shen Family Courtyard, had hatred for Shen Yunyi or the Shen family in her heart, so the ice maid should have come to Shen Yunyi at that time.
In other words, this time the pig-headed horseman appeared here, and began to charge without saying a word.
The high probability also shows that Jiang Zheng and Gu Qian must have the hateful target of the hall master, but it is impossible to confirm who it is for the time being.
When she heard this, Gu Qian frowned, looked up and muttered suspiciously:
"Maybe you have a grudge against me? But I don't have any enemies, except. Hiss! It can't be her, right? ”
"Well, that's what I thought too."
Jiang Zheng nodded and said with a smile:
"If the pig-headed knight is here to find you, then the master of the hall this time is most likely that Bai Hui, Miss Bai."
Speaking of Gu Qian's enemy, and to the point of hating her to the core, there is basically only Bai Hui.
After all, Bai Hui hated her to the extent that she wanted to find someone to ruin her face.
If this tidal wave of malice turns into a temple, it is completely justified.
Of course, it is not certain that Bai Hui is the owner of the new hall at the moment, after all, it may also be Jiang Zheng's enemy.
But Jiang Zheng couldn't think of any of his enemies for a while, because he seemed to have a lot of enemies.
Well, yes, Jiang Zheng has a bit of enemies, or not a lot in general.
Count them casually, in addition to Su Yuchan, who has become a vegetative person, the members of Pluto who have offended, and the students in the school who hate him so much, there are even the Park father and son of the "Citigroup".
Don't forget, Park Zhenghuan has been fighting a lawsuit with Jiang Zheng recently, and this lawsuit is basically a winning state in Xia Ling's words.
Because he was worried that Park Zhenghuan would go to prison, Park Guochang, as a father, was also crazy about contacting Jiang Zheng through various channels during this time, wanting to reconcile with him privately.
But Jiang Zheng naturally won't reconcile with them, because he was rushing to bring down the Park family from the beginning.
So the two fathers and sons must also hate him, and they also have enough reasons to condense the temple of the soul.
From this point of view, Jiang Zheng really has a lot of enemies, and it is more difficult to lock down the owner of the palace than Gu Qian's side.
But there is no need to think about it so much now, let's discuss it with Shen Yunyi and the others after going out, and then investigate slowly.
Anyway, the two of them will be able to go out soon, and Jiang Zheng is not worried at all in this regard. I'm really not worried at all.
However, what Jiang Zheng never expected was that Mi'er at this time was inexplicably involved in a strange incident and was being drunk madly in the bar.
That night, at half past ten, in the box of the "Law-abiding Citizen" bar.
"Bartender! One more bottle, no. Three more bottles of vermouth! Add pickled cucumber, whey cheese and cherry tomatoes, hurry up! ”
With Xia Ling's heroic voice sounding in the small bar, Mi'er, who was also a little drunk next to her, couldn't help but sigh.
What the hell is going on with this woman, she can't drink too much, right? Is there some strange alien space connected to the stomach?
Just as Mi'er was complaining about Xia Ling's drinking, Xia Ling, who was already drinking and her face was flushed, suddenly reached out and put her arm around her shoulder, pulled her closer and smiled:
"Hey, hey, sister Mi'er, come, you come and drink too, drink more."
As soon as the words fell, Xia Ling picked up a bottle of "absinthe" that he hadn't finished drinking, and poured it directly into Mi'er's mouth.
"Hmm! Woooooooooooooooo After quickly pushing the drunk away, Mi'er covered her mouth and frowned:
"Don't just fill the little girl with a bottle, okay? And you've just drunk this bottle to your mouth. ”
Seeing that Mi'er seemed to be a little disgusted with her saliva, Xia Ling pretended to be sad, touched Mi'er's thigh and muttered:
"Sister Mi'er, you are too outward, with our iron relationship, what is it to drink a bottle of wine? Right, little chestnut. ”
Yes? Suddenly, Bai Xiaoli, who was sitting on the other end trembling like a little hamster, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and cautiously complained:
"That, Aunt Xia Ling, have you drunk too much? Why don't we go back first? ”
"Where is this, little chestnut, don't you just drink milk, don't you want to have some foreign wine to try?"
"Me! I'll forget it, I'm not an adult, I can't drink! ”
"It's okay, drinking alcohol under minors does not constitute an illegal act in itself, what constitutes an illegal act is that the merchant peddles alcohol to minors."
"Huh? Is that so? And this wine."
"This wine was sold to me by the merchant, I just invited you to drink it by the way, don't worry, it's not illegal, let's try it, it's delicious."
Seeing that Bai Xiaoli was also pulled by Xia Ling to pour wine, Mi'er didn't know what to say for a while.
That's right, the few people drinking in the "Law-abiding Citizen" bar at this time are the wonderful trio of Xia Ling, Mi'er and Bai Xiaoli.
It's also strange to say, Bai Xiaoli is a classmate of Xia Ling's adopted daughter, and Mi'er is the maid of Xia Ling's future nephew and son-in-law.
The three of them wouldn't have gotten together at all, so why did they suddenly have a drink at the bar?
Well, the reason is very complicated, in a word, Bai Xiaoli was falsely accused of walking on the road.
Or to be more careful, when Bai Xiaoli and Mi'er went out shopping at night, they happened to meet an old woman who touched porcelain.
The old woman walked to Bai Xiaoli and deliberately bumped into her, and then she fell to the ground with her waist and started her performance.
"Ouch. My waist, my waist was broken by you, lose money, pay 50,000 yuan. ”
"Huh? Lose 50,000! Where do I have 50,000 to pay you! All the pocket money adds up to only about 500 at most! ”
"Five hundred. Forget it, for the sake of being so young and knowing how to repent, it's okay to pay 500 medical bills. ”
"Really? Old woman, you are so nice, I will transfer the money to you immediately! ”
Just as Bai Xiaoli was stupidly about to transfer money to others, a familiar figure came out of the crowd next to him.
"Wait, I'm a lawyer, I'll take care of this."
Xia Ling, who happened to be passing by, stretched out her hand to stop Bai Xiaoli, who was about to transfer money, and then negotiated with the old woman on her behalf.
Unlike Bai Xiaoli who was in a daze, Xia Ling, a gold-medal professional lawyer, it was not too easy to deal with such a porcelain old woman.
"You just said my client broke your waist? Is that true? As a reminder, every word you say can become evidence in court, and it cannot be false. ”
"This. Whether it's broken or not, the old woman can't say it's too hard. ”
"In this case, let's go to the hospital for an examination, if your waist is indeed broken by an external force, the hospital can find out as soon as it is checked."
"Huh? Going to the hospital? No, don't bother, I'm fine, I don't want money. ”
Seeing that the old woman turned around in a cold sweat and wanted to run, Mi'er, who had been preparing to do it for a long time, immediately blocked her way.
"If you say go to the hospital for a checkup, go to the hospital for a checkup, and if you can't walk, the little woman can carry you over."
As she spoke, Mi'er kicked the railing next to her casually, directly denting the railing made of fine iron!
Seeing this scene, the old woman was so frightened that her pants were almost wet, and she was finally carried to the police station by Xia Ling and Mi'er.
Very professionally listed a bunch of charges, ready to let the old woman spend the Spring Festival in prison.
In order to celebrate the victory, Xia Ling brought the two of them to this "law-abiding citizen" bar.
I sat here and drank happily. Or rather, Xia Ling happily pulled the two of them to drink.
Anyway, I've been out for so long, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with the master's side, right?
When the three of them were drinking and eating together, Mi'er also subconsciously looked at the mobile phone next to her.
It should be fine, if the host has anything, he should take the initiative to message or call me.
Since he didn't send a message to contact, I'll go back later tonight. Think of it as a week off.
After secretly finding a reason for herself to touch the fish, Mi'er also picked up a cherry tomatoes and put it in her mouth, and drank it with "absinthe".
