The next day.
Pei Sheng came to work honestly.
Moreover, he honestly communicated with Los about the modifications to the plan. He didn't act evil all day long, and even rejected Angela's message to ask him out again.
Mainly, when thinking of Angra's action of stealing the talisman paper, she might have stolen it because she suspected that the paper was a secret.
Furthermore, Pei Sheng discovered yesterday that he might not have met true love after all.
Because of this, Pei Sheng also canceled the date program of going to the movies in the evening. After coming out of the Happy World, the two of them broke up.
Then after returning to the studio, Pei Sheng was locked on the rooftop for another hour with hot air blowing.
After returning home, he was caught and educated by his elder brother.
After coming down again and again, Pei Shengxin felt tired.
It’s okay not to talk about this love!
…
Xu Shuo discovered that Pei Sheng had another item on him, and compared to the previous purification talisman, it seemed to have more protective functions.
But it's definitely not as good as Xu Xi's, and there aren't as many props as Xu Xi's small backpack.
He looked at it and then looked away, continuing to look at the computer.
But the computer screen in front of him is not the previous office system, but the interface of a news website, with familiar images of the happy world on the page.
Yesterday, the sudden blockade of Pearl Paradise had actually begun in the evening.
After the peaceful streets of Heiyu District, another place was controlled by the authorities with the same strong attitude. This caused more or less suspicion and panic in Yangcheng.
However, Xu Shuo's news was not this.
His was information released by the police.
After browsing for a long time, Xu Shuo finally found what he wanted - the police reported that an old piece of eucalyptus from a few years ago had been dug out.
Although the incident was initially concluded as an accident, the police decided to re-investigate because the prosecution period had not passed.
Xu Shuo glanced at the person in charge of Eucalyptus, then copied the link and forwarded it to Pei Hong.
Xu Shuo: [? ]
Pei Hong: [1]
Not long after, the other person replied,
The exchange ended quickly.
Pei Hong shared the business card of a contact person. The general idea was that if he wanted to contact the police, he could go to this person for help.
He didn't even bother to ask Xu Shuo why he wanted to investigate this matter. Except for the business matters, which the two discussed in detail, everything else was simple and mutually beneficial.
Of course, if Pei Hong is also interested, he will investigate secretly himself.
For example, this matter was related to Pearl Paradise. After reading the news, Pei Hong thought about it and found his secretary to give instructions.
…
Here, Xu Shuo quickly contacted the person and sent the news link over again.
He asked very directly: "Why should we re-investigate this case?" ]
opposite:[?]
Opposite person: [Oh, I saw the news about Mr. Pei. ]
Opposite: [It’s Director Chen. He was the person in charge of this project at the time, but he ended it hastily by accident. He felt it was unreasonable. In fact, he kept suppressing this project and it never ended. Last night, I suddenly asked my superiors for instructions, saying that I had figured out the tactics used back then, and asked for a re-examination. ]…
Opposite person: [That’s all I can tell you, no other comments. ]
The information he mentioned does not involve any confidentiality, and after the incident is concluded, the police will also release a notice on the official website.
Xu Shuo read it thoughtfully and then replied "Thank you".
Then there is no more.
The other person silently waiting for more money: "..."
He waited for a long time but no new reply appeared after those two words. At that moment, he felt a little regretful. I was afraid there was no chance to add more money. The information this strange person wanted to know was probably the above.
——The ones that are of no use.
…
It is useless to others, but it is somewhat useful to Xu Shuo.
last night.
In fact, in addition to burying things, he asked Luo Kai if he could tell the truth to the police. Although he seemed to have compromised at that time, he did not do any other unnecessary things.
But in fact, Xu Shuo used the psychic network to leave a memory in the mind of the police officer who took the lead.
He didn't know if that memory was useful, anyway, he was just trying it casually.
But now, looking at the information on the computer screen, Xu Shuo thought thoughtfully - maybe there is something wrong with this world.
He once raised the question of "time" to Themis, but the explanation Themis gave at that time was still that the past shapes the future.
In other words, he will definitely do this behavior in the future, and it will definitely cause that situation in the past.
This change has a sense of destiny.
Destined that he would become a player, that he would experience the ghost ship, and that he would leave a memory in the mind of a police officer in the Pearl World?
To be honest, Xu Shuo found this fate somewhat funny.
And he doesn't think that every step of his future trajectory has been determined.
For example, if he is going to commit suicide in the next second, is this fate already destined?
……No way?
Xu Shuo shook his head to divert his random thoughts. At this moment, a small red dot lit up in the upper right corner and flashed from time to time.
Some players are sending him messages continuously.
Xu Shuo clicked on it casually, expecting Luo Kai to come and yell at him about the "Roller Coaster Murder Incident", but when he saw the contact, he cheered up.
Hongrao, who had been missing for a long time, finally took the initiative to contact him.
Since the last time he went crazy writing scripts, Xu Shuo, who had no script to play, had been idle for several days.
Because Hongrao calculated his deduction value extremely accurately, the few second-level books he left behind before leaving were just enough for him to reach the third-level assessment.
So if you enter the script next time, it will be the third level assessment directly.
Or the Level 4 assessment?
In addition to Hongrao's message, Themis, who had also been missing for a long time, also sent him a message - the two people were suddenly free at the same time.
Hongrao: [I have finished handling the matters here. Let’s see when you have time. Come to the script space and talk to you about the third-level assessment book. 】
Hongrao: [Looking at you, you probably can’t wait any longer. I’ll be back as soon as the things over there are finished. 】
Hongrao: [See the reply, I am free during this time. 】…
Themis: [Sorry, I've been busy outside for a while. 】
Themis: [I’ll go over and take a look now. 】
One is to let him come over when he has time, and the other is to say that he will come over now.
The balance in Xu Shuo's mind did not waver for long, and he instantly leaned towards the latter, and took the lead in replying to Themis.
And then the next moment.
Golden light shone around him, and Themis' figure appeared directly in the office, sitting upright on the sofa.
Xu Shuo didn't expect this person to be so decisive...
So when the light flickered, he subconsciously glanced at the studio outside. Of course, he mainly looked at the status of Ross in the new department.
Sure enough, Los, who was immersed in typing characters, suddenly raised his head and looked at where he was.
When he caught the gaze of Xu Shuo, who had been waiting for him for a long time, Lose reflexively withdrew his gaze, but then seemed to react and turned his head to look over again.
Although the office was made of one-way glass, Ross's sight seemed to be unobstructed, passing directly through the glass and landing on the corner of golden light.
After looking at Themis and then at Xu Shuo, who looked unsurprised, Los lowered his head again.
——Why is the judgment coming?
For some reason, Xu Shuo inexplicably saw some depressed and resentful emotions in his back. Suddenly, he had a strange feeling of stealing someone behind his back?
Too strange……
Xu Shuo shook off this strange feeling and looked at Themis who appeared on the sofa.
Themis seemed to have just come out of some medieval world. She did not dress in modern simple clothes as she did before.
Instead, he wore a pale golden corset robe, and his still brilliant long golden hair was not shortened. There were silver laurels embedded in the hair, just like the way the two met for the first time at the Giant's Castle.
If his expression wasn't too solemn, he would have looked like an elf prince who strayed into the world.
So after adding a touch of dignity, there is a holy atmosphere, cold and upright judgment of order.
"Themis." Xu Shuo greeted.
"Xu Shuo."
After seeing Xu Shuo, the somewhat inorganic and cold aura on Shi's body dissipated, and for an instant he seemed to have fallen from a sacred tower into the clouds.
Then he tilted his head and asked with curiosity: "What happened to the abyss troll you mentioned some time ago? I didn't feel that an abyss troll appeared in this world."
After confirming that there was a look of innocence on Shi's face, Xu Shuo nodded calmly.
He smiled and said: "It was a breath leaking from the crack in the abyss. The abyss troll did not really come to the real world. It was just that the darkness of the abyss was relatively dense, which gave me an illusion."
"oh!"
Hajime nodded with sudden realization: "The cracks that can accommodate the abyss trolls are generally level four or above. You are only a level two player, so it's not surprising that you would be affected by the abyss. But you haven't been eroded by the level four abyss?"
Xu Shuo: Why do you call me such a weakling?
He twitched his lips: "Loss from the Sixth Palace saved me. Besides this incident, has there been any change in the defense line? Do you want to go and see?"...
Shi Shi was slightly startled, and then the golden light flowed in his eyes, as if he was looking into the void.
Knowing that this trial has always been straightforward, Xu Shuo quickly interrupted when he saw that his figure was changing: "I want to ask, can you take me to the defense line too?"
Hajime, who was about to take a look at the defense line, glared for a moment, then turned to look at him, pondered and nodded: "It doesn't matter."
The thing itself has nothing to hide.
Moreover, ordinary players cannot destroy the defense line, nor can they see the order system inside the defense line. To them, that place is just a blank void.
Although, Hajime didn't know why he agreed so easily.
He has never led anyone into the defensive line.
The two figures disappeared in the office. Los, who had been secretly poking around, noticed it and immediately turned his head to look at the office, and then accurately captured Xu Shuo's aura.
In the line of defense with Judgment...
That one is really getting better and better at seeking death.
…
…
The outer part of the defense line is a tall tower.
But inside there is a void of nothing.
The two of them were floating in the dazzling sky, with no edges visible in all directions. Although there was a faint outline of a building, it was vague and undefined.
——This is the mysterious line of defense?
Xu Shuo frowned slightly, feeling some inexplicable discomfort in his mind.
But I couldn't put my finger on the discomfort.
Basically, there is a feeling of being constrained and troubled, as if one is confined in a world that seems vast but narrow and cramped, unable to stretch out at all.
When thinking this way, Xu Shuo raised his hand and summoned the Wise One's cane from the player's manual.
Obviously the ability is not limited.
But he still felt uncomfortable all over.
I don’t know if this strangeness is felt by every ordinary player on the defensive line, or if it is just for his “bug”.
Xu Shuo didn't ask such a question after all.
After Hajime brought him over, he put him aside and didn't care. Instead, he pulled out a system interface in the void and began to check the data on it.
Seeing this, Xu Shuo moved over curiously and looked at the undulating lines on the interface.
"What is this?" he asked.
"Abyssal Invasion Records."
Hajime, who was doing business inside the defense line, looked a lot colder. His long golden hair was floating in the air, exuding dazzling sacred light, and he had an aura of indifference and coldness.
However, after subconsciously replying to Xu Shuo's words, Shi started to slide his finger across the screen.
Then he turned his head cutely and asked: "Eh? Can you see this panel?"
Xu Shuo was also startled: "..."
Blanching, so ordinary players can’t see it?
Because Themis agreed to bring him over without much hesitation, and she didn't show any shyness towards him when checking the system, Xu Shuo didn't think about it for a while.
Therefore, it was all because Themis was too nervous, causing others to involuntarily let go of their caution.
Xu Shuo, who accidentally exposed the nature of the bug, quickly regained his composure, and even felt a bit indifferent. Anyway, Themis didn't look like the kind of unreasonable judgement. …
If Themis was not easy to talk to, he would not take the opportunity to propose that he and the other party come to the defense line to gain knowledge.
As the saying goes, if you are confident, you will be able to take advantage of it.
So he simply nodded and said: "Well, I can see it, so is there anything to say about it?"
Hajime scratched his head and said: "This thing is the order system of our Tower of Judgment. By calling it, you can check the degree of abyss erosion in this world."
"oh."
Xu Shuo responded and continued to ask: "Then how do you look at this data?"
Hajime: "...do you want to know?"
Xu Shuo: "Can't I know?"
beginning:"……"
Hajime suddenly hesitated.
Because the Judgment Seniors had never taught him how to deal with this kind of thing, and there were no relevant learning materials in the Tower of Judgment, he didn't know if he could talk about the order system.
I heard that the Tower of Judgment selects players very strictly, and he has always been the only player selected to be judged outside the system.
Although logically speaking, Xu Shuo can also see the order system, so he should also have the potential to be selected by the Tower of Judgment?
Otherwise this is really unexplainable.
Could it be the authority given by the sixth house?
Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible?
Do you still need to tell him?
Hajime was caught up in a brainstorm for a rare moment, and his serious face became quite solemn, with an aura of sanctity and inviolability.
Therefore, maybe it is the feeling brought by the other party's appearance, maybe it is the feeling brought by the other party's breath - when facing Themis, no matter what he says, you will believe that he is not lying.
Upright and impartial, that's what the other person is.
Xu Shuo saw Themis's confusion, but he didn't want to say hypocritically, "Since you are in trouble, let it go."
Because if you tell others, they may be conceited and then tell the truth.
But if you say to Themis.
Themis might have taken it seriously on the spot and never said it again!
Therefore, Xu Shuo wanted to see what decision he would make.
…
