"Okay, thanks." Qi Jiu opened the menu casually, chatting as he browsed, "My real purpose has already been told to Xiao Nian, I just want to know how he got in." ”

"I know, but I want to figure out why you care about this," the young man's tone on the other side was a little more urgent than just now, and he looked at Qi Zhen fixedly and said, "You didn't come in in by the law, right?" I could tell the people. ”

"Those people?" Qi Jiu's movements as he flipped through the menu paused, and he finally raised his gaze.

The other party realized that his mouth was about to go, so he had to twist his eyebrows and answer vigilantly in silence.

Qi Zhen still had that relaxed and friendly attitude: "Are you referring to the people of the Death Row Club, and there are also players like Xiao Nian who came in through an insurance agreement?" ”

The burly young man was slightly stunned, he subconsciously glanced at Qi Xiaonian beside him, and it wasn't until Qi Xiaonian nodded at him that he hesitated: "Yes, I originally thought you were one of them." ”

Qi Yan smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm not." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the pen and checked the ingredients on the menu, and handed the finished menu to Qi Xiaonian, "I've already chosen." ”

The other two were a little restless, and it seemed that only Qi Yan had really come to eat barbecue at the moment.

"Then why do you care about Qi Xiaonian's identity, to be honest, I don't understand or understand." The burly young man said frankly.

Because he had already confirmed through his own way that Qi Ji was not a member of the Death Row Prisoners' Association, he relaxed his guard a little at this moment, and spoke more directly.

Qi Yan looked at him and asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”

As Qi Xiaonian's "parent", Qi Yan said a little mischievously.

"What?!" As if frightened by Qi Yan's joke, the young man furrowed his brows slightly, and immediately tensed his shoulders like a beast feeling threatened, looking at the undisguised vigilance and hostility in Qi Yan's gaze.

Obviously, the other party seems to have mistaken themselves for competitors.

Finally, Qi Yan determined the relationship between this young man and Qi Xiaonian, as well as his position as Qi Xiaonian's mother's family, which was still misunderstood.

He shrugged his shoulders, and then said solemnly: "After all, Xiao Nian is still young, and I need to know something about his friendship." ”

Since his brother's suitor has come to the door by himself, there is no need for him to hide it as his mother's family.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and Qi Ji hates trouble.

And the most important thing is that Qi Zhen realized that Qi Xiaonian, a suitor, had special abilities that were different from other players-

He seems to be able to quickly spot players who have entered the "Rules Book" abnormally.

The young man opposite widened his eyes slightly, and the whole person was completely blindfolded: "I don't understand, what do you mean ......?"

"Then I'll answer your first question first," as he spoke, Qi Yan turned his gaze to Qi Xiaonian, who was slightly pale on the side, and lowered his voice low and soft, "Xiao Nian, in the car that came back from your movie premiere, in addition to your parents and you, there was another person. ”

Qi Zhen knew that it was Qi Xiaonian's last memory before he lost his cognitive ability in the real world.

It was a key point in time that would trigger his memories.

At the same time, Qi Zhen opened his system interface: "System teacher, in the Dying City, can I use the 'Gaze Domination' in the 'True God Advent' system on other travelers?" ”

"Gaze Domination" has the effect of manipulating people's hearts, and Qi Zhen needs to use external forces to help Qi Xiaonian recover his memories about himself.

[Yes, but due to your low level of "gaze dominance", the success rate will only increase slightly if the person being stared at trusts you enough and your words are authentic]

"No problem, thanks for the reminder." This is enough for Qi Jiu.

After confirming, Qi Yan took out the photo of the welfare home again, "Xiao Nian, you said that you have an impression of this photo, do you remember?" It was once treasured by my mother in our growth album. ”

"At that time, you still pointed to this photo and asked me, who is this young lady next to me, do you remember?" Qi Yan stared into Qi Xiaonian's eyes, his voice was very low, but he asked clearly word by word.

I don't know if it's the blessing of the effect of "gaze domination", although Qi Ji's attitude is very gentle, but it has the power to guide people's hearts.

It seems to invisibly inspire the other party's thinking and guide the other party to find the truth of memory.

The air fell silent for an instant.

The burly young man looked at Qi Yan's actions inexplicably, and in just a moment, Qi Xiaonian seemed to be greatly impacted, he looked at the photo intently, his face was bloody, and his lips trembled slightly.

His eyelids jumped violently, and his voice began to tremble—

"Brother......?"

Qi Xiaonian said this word almost unconsciously, very low, very low, and he had to prick up his ears to hear the words he blurted out.

"I... Brother you... I..." The confused look on Qi Xiaonian's face became more and more intense, he raised his head, his pupils shrunk to a very small point, and he was staring at Qi Xiao with a blank look.

Under the guidance of the other party's words, something that is hidden by the system and instinctive is about to break through the ground.

It seems to have been brewing for a long time, and it is coming violently at this moment.

"Brother?!! The burly young man on the side was not calm at all.

He looked at Qi Yan in disbelief, his lips opened, but he was too shocked to organize his words.

Qi Yan made a "shhh" gesture at him, signaling him to be quiet and give Qi Xiaonian a little buffer time.

The reason why the low-level "Gaze Domination" can take effect is because Qi Yan, as a player who has obtained the "True God Descent" achievement, faces Qi Xiaonian, who once got the "Student" identity card, the privilege of identity still plays a certain role.

But the most important thing is that Qi Jiu's words are true enough.

What he said to Qi Xiaonian was the truth, but it was just a fact that was forgotten by the other party.

Like the NPCs whose memories have been sealed, after giving key clues and verbal cues, the seal that shielded their memories becomes loose, and their memories of "themselves" are revealed.

This also applies to Qi Xiaonian, whose memory has been blocked by the system.

Finally, after waiting for three minutes, the confusion on Qi Xiaonian's face completely dissipated, and he looked at Qi Xiao again with a look of self-reproach and nostalgia: "Brother, I seem... I think I remember..."

"How... Forgot something so important? It's weird, I don't know why that's happening... What the hell is going on with me...? The moment the seal of memory was completely opened, Qi Xiaonian felt incredible and ashamed.

He didn't understand what was wrong with him, he had forgotten the existence of Qi Jiu for such a long time.

It's like being in an evil spirit, obviously there are fragments in memory, but he is not vigilant at all, and he does not take the initiative to explore and find suspicious points, and even after Qi Ji appeared in front of him, he was still confused and unconscious at the moment when he was shrouded in an indescribable sense of familiarity.

Why is this happening......

While blaming himself, Qi Xiaonian was also very confused.

"It's not your problem, it's the mechanics of this world that shield your memories." Qi Zhen used a calm voice to soothe Qi Xiaonian, who was experiencing violent emotional fluctuations.

Qi Xiaonian's expression flickered: "Brother... I... Why don't you come sooner..."

He wanted to ask why the other party didn't disclose his identity at the beginning, but after thinking about it, even if Qi Yan said so at the time, could he really remember? Do you think the other person is a strange person because of this?

Qi Xiaonian looked back and thought about it, he was not sure.

"At that time in the dungeon, I didn't have enough time and confidence to explain my identity to you, for fear that it would backfire and ruin our cooperation. After all, for our cooperation, the relationship of identity is not necessary. ”

"But I'm sorry that I didn't explain it to you until now." Qi Yan said very seriously.

He has always put the maximization of interests in front of him, and the emotional needs have therefore taken a back seat.

Now seeing Qi Xiaonian's reaction, he realizes that he is a little "selfish".

Qi Xiaonian shook his head violently, and then frowned and asked, "But what the hell is going on?" Why should my memories of you be blocked? ”

Qi Jiu: "I haven't figured out the reason either, but I'm already a little eyebrow-raising." ”

"Wait... So, is this Teacher Qi really your brother?! The young man, who couldn't interject at all, was stunned.

Things have gone beyond his expectations and are completely out of control.

"Are you sure?" The young man looked at Qi Xiaonian and confirmed again.

Qi Xiaonian nodded his head firmly: "Well, I remember, the strange feelings and memory fragments I told you before are also connected." ”

"Ahh

"Brother, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Chapter 104: The Inquisition

"Hello." Qi Yan smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking like a reasonable "parent".

But the more gentle and friendly he became, the more embarrassed the burly young man became, and he even scratched his head a little helplessly: "I... My name is Lu Zhi, and I am a friend of Xiao Nian. ”

The young man named Lu Zhi began to introduce himself clumsily, and even stumbled because he was too nervous.

Qi Yan deliberately laughed and said, "You are very good friends, right?" ”

"Ahh ”

Qi Xiaonian glanced at Lu Zhi worriedly, and the moment Lu Zhi and his eyes met, he realized that he was behaving strangely because of embarrassment just now, and he even felt more nervous at this moment than when he faced the imaginary "love rival" before.

What the hell.

Why do you want to make up some strange "love rival" drama without authorization, it's really idle, and it's embarrassing to throw it to the other party's family.

The smile on Qi Jiu's face remained unchanged, and he asked in a casual tone, "Are you living in an apartment now?" ”

Qi Xiaonian nodded, he hesitated for a few seconds, and explained: "But brother, don't get me wrong, Lu Zhi and I are teammates now, and we are also roommates in the shared room." ”

"That's it..."Qi Ji glanced at Lu Zhi thoughtfully, "Indeed, sharing a room with teammates will save more money, and it is much more reliable than renting a bed, after all, you know the roots." ”

Lu Zhi's brows twisted obviously, and then he bit his lip, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his head and said solemnly: "Brother, Xiao Nian and I are teammates and roommates, but... But I'm not going to hide it from anyone, I'm pursuing Xiao Nian now! ”

"I understand that he is not ready for the time being, but don't worry, brother, I will wait patiently, and I will do my best to ensure his safety." His face turned white with nervousness, but his tone was unusually firm, and his eyes were very persistent.

It seems that these two people are still in the ambiguous stage of uncertainty, Qi Ji laughed in his heart.

But this straightforward and sincere performance left a good impression on him, although their meeting began with a misunderstanding.

"Okay, I'll remember what you said today, I have a good memory." Qi Yan said with a smile.

He moved his gaze to Qi Xiaonian again, at this moment his younger brother looked at the hot tea in front of him with flickering eyes, watching the tea leaves sink to the bottom of the cup little by little, he had seen many big scenes and he could still maintain a natural expression, but the fingers under the table were already nervously twisted together.

In front of his brother, who has been reunited for a long time, it would be embarrassing for anyone to be so warmly confessed by the people who have been pursuing him.

Qi Zhen couldn't help but sigh a little.

Time flies so fast, and I remember attending Xiao Nian's premiere and the day of the car accident, just after Xiao Nian's seventeenth birthday.

More than half a year after the car accident, he was sent into this world, and Xiao Nian, who had completely lost his cognitive ability, was left alone in a hospital bed in the real world, until the so-called agreement came into effect, and he was also sent to the "Rules Illustrated".

It seems that a long time has passed, and Qi Xiaonian has also grown up.

Although Xiao Nian in front of him is no different from when he was sixteen or seventeen years old in his memory, it is undeniable that Xiao Nian, like him, has grown up in the midst of changes.

"Brother Lu, in fact, my brother is about the same age as me, you don't need to call him brother, he is much younger than you......" Qi Xiaonian reminded Lu Zhidao.

Lu Zhi was even more embarrassed, and he didn't know how to react for a while to make himself look more "reliable".
