There was no unexpected gain, but it was expected. Director Zhang didn’t think Xiao Gu could know anything, and the monitoring showed it clearly——
At that time, Lao Ding was in the duty room and Xiao Gu was walking by outside. The two of them just said a few words and said hello in the distance, without any contact at all. Moreover, after Xiao Gu walked out, nothing happened to Lao Ding. The encounter with evil spirits and all that happened happened an hour later.
To put it bluntly, it is very difficult to blackmail someone, especially when it comes to "attacking evil".
So the middle-aged woman spoke vaguely, saying that the security situation was not very good recently, and asked him to be careful, and confused the reason for her question. Of course Gu Mo knew it wasn't for this reason, but he didn't guess the specifics. He just thought that old man Ding had used his talent for gossiping again and started making rumors about himself.
This made him a little suspicious. It was only at this level that Old Man Ding's imagination could advance so much. When he saw short sleeves, he immediately thought of white arms. Therefore, even if he behaved a little strangely, he could immediately think that there was something wrong with him. …
——Or is it really so obvious that you are so full of flaws in the eyes of others that you already look suspicious?
But it was not too late to make amends. He was determined to play the role of a normal person from now on so that no one could see the problem.
When I got home, I took a shower first, then threw the washed clothes into the washing machine, packed everything, dried my hair, and then lay on the bed. After such a series of actions, he picked up his phone and looked at it, and found that there was still about half an hour left.
Gu Mo breathed out softly. He didn't know whether he should be happy about this. This meant that he seemed to have gradually become accustomed to the current rhythm... Sure enough, are people forced to do this?
But there is nothing he can do about it. His current situation is like this. Apart from adapting, is there any other way?
"Maybe we should consider moving."
Recalling what happened when Director Zhang stopped him for questioning, such thoughts could not be suppressed in his mind. Gu Mo began to search for nearby rental businesses on his mobile phone. Although he seemed a bit neurotic, he felt that It's better to be on the safe side.
This community has the largest concentration of elderly men and women. Old Man Ding is just the talkative one among them, but he is definitely not the only one, and he is not the one with the strongest fighting power. What’s even more frightening is that this group of uncles and aunts don’t know if they are mecha fans or not. They understand the key of “integration can enhance combat effectiveness”. They often get together to catch wind and make things happen out of nothing, and the power of gossip increases exponentially...
I was really stupid to move here because I thought the conditions here were good.
So I’d better move to another place. No one knows me in the new place... Well, there’s no need to move too far. After all, nowadays, people’s social circles in cities are fragmented. Often, people in a community People don't recognize each other.
It's not like a rural area or something like that. I left my own village, but in the village next door, and the village next door, anyone may have heard of me, or maybe I can be related to my seventh aunt and eighth aunt. Relationships and stuff like that...
So as long as I stay two streets away, people in this community will probably never be able to find me again. After a while, they will forget that there is such a person as me.
"Well, it's best to move next to that restaurant. If it's very close, even if they don't have a takeout business, they should be able to leave a reservation for me..."
Thinking of this, Gu Mo became more determined to move away.
Perhaps it was really due to his own imagination and hallucinations. He looked for food everywhere last night, wandering around the late-night snack stalls in various parts of the city, and finally found that those things were difficult to swallow.
"Well, by the way, what was the name of the street before?"
Raising his head and thinking for a while, Gu Mo found that he had not paid attention to the news, and there was no way to use this address as an address to search for nearby house rental businesses... He thought for a while, then lowered his head to open the takeout software and entered " The four words "Xingping Restaurant" are used as key words.
Click search, and in less than a second, a new page pops up.
"Xingping Restaurant", "Xingping Catering", "Happiness Restaurant"...
A series of similar search results were listed. The nearest "Xingping Restaurant" was 8.7 kilometers away. Other than that, the real owner could not be found.
Raising his eyebrows, Gu Mo was not surprised. He had already expected this. After all, there was no mobile payment or other QR code scanning methods in the store, so this store did not open a takeout business and had not registered on the platform at all. It is also a very reasonable thing.
"Forget it, let's go over and take a look tomorrow."
Looking at the time displayed on his phone, he sighed, put his phone away, put his head in his hands and adjusted his posture, trying to make himself sleep more comfortably... He knew what would happen next, as time came , his vision will go dark and he will lose consciousness directly.
By the time I opened my eyes again and my perception and thinking abilities came back online, it was already midnight at midnight the next morning when I was full of energy.
Oh my God, his sleep has never been so good!
But this is definitely not a good thing, and Gu Mo doesn't think it's acceptable, especially now that he has decided to save himself, thinking that he still has a chance to correct himself.
He also knew that this was abnormal, which was his biggest advantage and proof that his condition was still relatively mild. If he was like the mental patient he had seen, he had completely accepted his new personality and adapted to a new distorted world view. He felt that he was the supreme martial arts master with a fruit knife, and he could slay dragons with a precious sword...
——Then it’s probably really hopeless.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
Counting the seconds silently in his mind, Gu Mo cheered up, widened his eyes, and warned himself over and over again - I am very energetic, it is still early, I am normal, and I don't think there is anything wrong with me... I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't I don’t want to sleep, but I don’t want to sleep either…
Four, three, two, one, time's up.
Accompanied by harsh auditory hallucinations that seemed to be mixed with electric current, his vision went dark, his consciousness quickly dimmed, and the reality connected to his sensory perceptions quickly moved away.
"Zizi...%￥#@&...Zizi...$#%&@..."
"Scene: Yukihira meal...sizzling...$#%&..."
"Difficulty: Easy."
"Exploring the current scene...sizz...$#%&..."
"Zizi...field...$#%&...Mode: Peace."
"Task triggered: 0."
"Mission completed...Zizi...$#%&..."
"Overall Rating: F- (lowest rating)."
It's like an electric current flowing through the nerves, and the messy noise is meaningless. However, among the fragments are mixed some occasionally clear or fuzzy fragments of fragmented information, which can barely be distinguished. However, for the parties who have been "forced offline", these things are It equals to non-existence. "
"Unlock the achievement...Zizi...$#%&...obtain the title "Beginner (Bronze)", and the title badge buff effect is activated by default..."
"Your...$#%&...life level has been improved. It is now level 1, and you have obtained 1 free attribute point. Please choose the direction of investment of points carefully..."
"%￥#@&...Users under the age of 18 will be subject to the anti-addiction system...zizi...the online time has reached 8 hours and will be forced to log off...please complete it as soon as possible...zizi...%￥# @&……Verified……"
Amidst the harsh noise and rustling, it was like an old TV malfunctioning and the strange sound coming from the snowflake screen. However, after the last fragment of the broken message was played, everything stopped, and there was no more movement. The breath of the young man on the bed was long and quiet.
It seems that he is sleeping in a sweet dream.
…
…
I don’t know how much time has passed.
It was still the familiar feeling like electric current flowing through the nerves. The hearing that was the first to recover first felt the harsh torture, followed by the full return of sensory perception.
It is not the process in which the body's functions gradually recover from sleep, the process in which a person wakes up from sleep, gathers his will bit by bit, and regains his clarity bit by bit, but a very abrupt one... Well, how to describe it?
Anyway, I was fast asleep one second, and suddenly woke up the next second——
And when I said that I was completely awake, all the hazy sleepiness had disappeared, and my whole person was full of energy and energy. This feeling is really weird and hard to describe.
"Looking on the bright side, at least I don't have the problem of staying in bed anymore..." Gu Mo sat up on the bed and blinked his eyes. In the dim room, he saw the fluorescent screen of the electronic clock on the bedside table. The time displayed told him that he would be here today. I also woke up on time at twelve o'clock in the evening.
He shook his head, put on his shoes and got out of bed. In the past, the main reason for staying in bed was that he couldn't wake up and didn't sleep enough. When he woke up, he was still very sleepy, so he couldn't wait to sleep for a while. For this purpose, he would not hesitate to activate "Substitute: Waste of Time" …
But now every time I wake up, I feel very energetic and not sleepy at all. Naturally, I don't think about sleeping for a while, so there is no thought or need to stay in bed.
This is probably the only benefit Gu Mo has discovered from his strange symptoms so far...
It seems that yesterday's persistence failed, the psychological construction was not successful, and I fell asleep as soon as the time came. With this thought in mind, he came to the bedside table, picked up the electronic clock and looked at it. Today he woke up with an accuracy of seconds. It seemed that he should have fallen asleep with an accuracy of seconds yesterday morning.
Although it is said that as long as you exercise normally and have a normal schedule, your biological clock can be controlled, and it is more accurate than human imagination. It is said that horse racing jockeys even have biological clocks measured in tenths of a second... But, under normal circumstances Gu Mo felt that he did not have this ability.
Why is it that in the state of illness, the body's biological clock can be calculated in seconds?
——Well, the world of mental patients is indeed unimaginable.
He put down the electronic clock and turned around to pick up the clothes hanging on the chair next to the computer desk. He had already prepared them before he fell asleep yesterday morning because he would use them the next day.
Entering the bathroom, Gu Mo brushed his teeth and washed his face as quickly as possible, solved his personal problems and then took a good shower.
After coming out, with his hair still wet, he didn't even glance at the hair dryer. Instead, he decisively picked up the keys, took his mobile phone and wallet, and rushed downstairs.
After all, he didn’t know when the restaurant was open. It was said that it was quite late last night. He rushed there today and wondered if he could make it... This made him feel a sense of urgency. If possible, he didn’t even want to wash up. , killed him as soon as he got up.
"Xiao Gu, why are you going out so late?"
At the entrance and exit of the community, the middle-aged man in the duty room heard the noise. He raised his head nervously and looked outside. He breathed a sigh of relief after finding that it was Gu Mo.
"Yeah, I recently found a night shift job..." Although Gu Mo was a little anxious, in order to maintain his normal persona, he still stopped and explained patiently, and then he looked at the middle-aged man strangely. , "But Uncle Zhang, why are you on duty tonight? Isn't Old Man Ding on duty this week?"
"...Old Ding, he's been busy these days. Let me help him take a look." The middle-aged man's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he answered with a stiff smile.
"That's it. Then please pay attention to your health. It's very windy at night and don't freeze..."
Gu Mo nodded and asked casually, so he didn't think much about it, waved and walked out quickly.
Seeing the young man's figure disappearing out of the window, the middle-aged man glanced outside a few times nervously, and sat back down looking a little suspicious. He didn't believe Old Man Ding's nonsense, but it was undeniable that that kind of rhetoric really made him feel uncomfortable now.
…
…
Two minutes later.
"How could it be? I remember I was here..."
Gu Mo walked back and forth several times in the snack street near the end of the street. He ignored the enthusiastic solicitations from the owners or waiters of the shop stalls on both sides and looked back and forth with his eyes wide open.
impossible! how so?
In his mind, the small alley leading to the commercial street on the other side was right here. But what appeared in front of him now was only a dead end, filled with all kinds of debris, and a rusty iron door that was locked and looked like it was old.
Could it be that I remembered it wrong? He looked back with a complicated mood, then turned around and walked towards the area.
When he came to the other side of the street, he looked around, and then his eyes lit up.
Dark alley...
There is a light at the end opposite...
It turns out that I really remembered it wrong, it was not over there but over here. He immediately felt relieved, and then stepped in decisively, frowning amidst the harsh buzzing and noise again, and finally walked through the dim and uncertain alley to the other side.
