After the return of the bootleg boss to the infinite monster in verse 127
But is the so-called real world outside of dreams really "real"? Where is the "truth", at least for him?
When he was a child, Qi Zhen had doubts about this, but he knew that such doubts would make him look "abnormal", and he would never have an answer, he was a smart child, and he would not cause trouble to himself in this regard.
After Qi Zhen entered his teenage years, he dreamed of "parallel worlds" less and less.
It wasn't until he was shot through the heart on his eighteenth birthday that he really came into the world.
The dream came to an abrupt halt and became a tangible reality.
The scene in the dream coincides with the "reality" of the moment again.
It was a scene he had depicted in his painting class, so it was particularly impressive.
Just then, the rain suddenly stopped.
The rain in the city will never end, and someone holding an umbrella appears behind him, and the sound of the black umbrella covering the square inch is louder.
Qi Yan raised his head slightly, and the gray rain curtain was replaced by a black umbrella, and the rain splashed a small white splash on the edge of the umbrella.
He didn't have to look back, he knew who was coming.
"Priest, is your other identity a grave keeper?"
Qi Yan asked in a casual tone, and the corners of his lips rose imperceptibly.
The priest behind him said quietly: "A job that is too busy to panic. ”
"It's really enviable,"
Only then did Qi Ji turn his head, a pair of gray-green eyes slightly bent because of a smile, and looked at the exact same eyes of the other party, "By the way, will the grave keeper allow vampires to appear in their own cemetery?" ”
A brief standoff.
Such a moment of staring and silence seems to have become a tacit way of getting along with each other.
The same smile spread in the priest's eyes: "In principle, it is not allowed, but..."
He paused deliberately, "As a vampire priest, I can change this rule. ”
Qi Yan smiled: "I'm honored. ”
079 is still dressed as a priest, and the blood-stained clergyman's clothes are re-washed by him.
Qi Jiu's gaze stayed on the other party's neck, and at this time, the top button of the priest's collar was already properly buttoned.
- It seems that the priest is "good".
Such a sneaky thought made Qi Yan want to laugh.
The priest here had already noticed Qi Jiu's gaze, and he didn't show any dissatisfaction, but suddenly asked for no reason, "Is it your birthday on the day you were killed?" ”
Qi Jiu's face went blank for a moment, and then he smiled: "How do you know?" ”
"The priest knows everything about God."
The priest's tone seemed to be joking, but his eyes were so serious that he was a little uneasy.
"Oh," Qi Zhen pursed his lips and raised his eyelids and said deliberately, "Then may I ask the priest, do you know what I am thinking now?" ”
The priest hid a smile on his lips: "You're thinking about something that the priest doesn't want to know. ”
Silent staring spread in the rain.
There was a bit of ambiguity in the air for no reason.
In the end, Qi Yan smiled: "I'm sorry, it's the first time I'm sitting in the position of 'god', and there is something inappropriate, and I ask the priest for more advice." ”
"It's also the first time I've been someone else's priest, so please give me a lot of advice." The priest also laughed.
I was a little tired from looking for the tombstone just now, but for some reason, the appearance of the priest at this moment suddenly made Qi Yan relax.
He simply walked to a blank tombstone nearby, and sat down gracefully without caring about the rain on the tombstone.
The priest stood beside him and continued to hold an umbrella for him.
At this time, Qi Jiu's body was already wet with rain, and the act of holding an umbrella seemed to be some special ritual between God and the priest.
I don't know if it's because they've left the dungeon, but this night, the atmosphere between the two is much more relaxed than ever.
It's as if they don't just look like each other, but even the atmosphere of getting along is similar.
After all, tonight seems to be a long time, and the time left for them is not as rushed as in the dungeon.
"I was looking for my tombstone just now," Qi Yan opened the chatterbox, "It's a pity I didn't find it." ”
"Father, do you know where my tombstone is?" Qi Zhen looked at the priest.
Priest: "I'm sorry, I'm only in charge of guarding the tomb, I don't know about that. ”
"That's a pity..."Qi Yan suddenly took the initiative to ask, "By the way, you said before that there was a thief who stole your data many years ago, do you have a clue now?" ”
It is rare to have such time to sit by the tombstone and chat, Qi Yan seized the opportunity to ask.
The priest shook his head: "The other party disappeared cleanly, as if it never existed." ”
"Why did that person steal your data? Any speculation on this? For Qi Zheng at this moment, it is not only chatting with the other party, but also a temptation.
"Not yet, but I guess..."The priest paused slightly, then looked at Qi Zhen deeply, "... You are the purpose of the other person. ”
Although the priest's guess was the same as Qi Ji's, it did not prevent Qi Ji's expression from stiffening for a moment at this moment: "Is my existence a threat to you?" ”
"I'm not sure, at least not yet." The priest looked away slightly, and answered truthfully.
As a "believer", he will not lie to Qi Ji now.
Qi Yan smiled with relief: "That's good." ”
"What about you?" The priest turned his gaze back to Qi Zhen, "Did you find the murderer who killed you?" ”
Qi Yan pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment: "There is no way to be sure now." ”
"So there's already a clue?" The priest seemed to be aware.
"Almost......" replied ambiguously, "I'll tell you, if you're interested." ”
"I'm interested in what you're going to do with each other." Said the priest.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I'll probably find out later." Qi Zhen looked at the gray rain curtain, and the swaying daffodils lit up the night of the cemetery.
"79, are you being sealed because of a bug in the system?"
This time, Qi Jiu did not call the other party "priest".
After all, the two of them can be separated from the dungeon space in this way, separated from all identity roles, and there are very few opportunities to chat calmly.
079 was silent for a moment: "You can say that, but..."
He looked at the point where the cemetery and the horizon met, and finally fell silent.
The rain dripping from the umbrella made a small splash in the mud, and Qi Jiu's canvas shoes were already mottled.
Qi Yan shrugged and said, "Anyway... I helped you unlock the power of the seal by digging up the dungeon to hide the plot line, and you lent me your abilities and resources, which is our cooperation content. ”
That's all.
Qi Zhen said in his heart, but this sentence turned into an indifferent smile on his face.
"Qi Yan," 079 suddenly called his name, "Perhaps, do you want to sign a contract that connects deeper?" ”
He looked him in the eye and asked suddenly.
Chapter 101: Sensory Sharing
The sudden silence amplifies the sound of the rain infinitely.
"What is the deeper contract?" Qi Zhen took the initiative to break the silence.
"I will only inform those who are interested in signing the contract about the contents of the contract." 079 seems to have deliberately sold out.
Qi Yan sighed lightly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm used to completing one project and then starting another project, after all, it's not a good habit to do two things." ”
He hid a slightly mischievous smile in his eyes, and looked at the other party for a moment, "Unless the contract itself is attractive enough." ”
The other party sells the guanzi, and he will put it under the cover.
Can't lose anyway.
"Is this something that you are already interested in the "Deeper Connections"?" 079 knew that this little guy would definitely be interested, but the little guy was very cunning and would never show his interest easily.
Just as prey never lets the hunter get his hands on it, it's like a game rule.
Qi Yan looked at him, the smile in his eyes became even more presumptuous, he glanced at the other party, and said in a natural tone: "Priest, don't ask knowingly. ”
079 laughs: "Sensory sharing, interested?" ”
"Sensory sharing?" Qi Jiu's brows furrowed slightly, this was a deal he didn't expect.
079 nodded, and explained clearly: "Through sensory sharing, my abilities will better penetrate your system, and you will be able to unlock practical skills more easily, and you will also be able to easily gain the favor of dungeon NPCs, and even influence the will of some NPCs." ”
"I think this will be very beneficial for you to clear the dungeon." 079 put his weight in front of Qi Jiu.
"Influence the will of NPCs to act...... Looks like you're a powerful guy. ”
Qi Jiu's focus was on this sentence, and he concluded half-jokingly.
079 smiled noncommittally, and finally he resettled on Qi Ji.
Although the other party was joking, 079 noticed that during the entire process of describing the agreement, Qi Jiu's brows had not been completely relaxed, and the doubts on his face had not been dissipated for half a minute.
Qi Zhen was obviously hesitating.
"Is there anything you don't understand about the protocol?" 079 asked.
"The benefits I can get from this are clear, but what about yours?" Qi Yan lifted his eyelids and looked at the other party, "What are the substantial benefits of sensory sharing for you?" ”
"I like a deal where the interests of both parties are clear and equal." Qi Yan expressed his doubts and concerns about the contract very bluntly.
A brief silence crept between each other.
As a priest, 079 seems to know his god well enough, and he is not surprised by Qi Jiu's questioning.
"Qi Jiu, if I say... Is it to satisfy my curiosity, is it a substantial benefit? ”
