Aoba Office

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Are you okay? What's going on?"

"I don't know. The person is just lying there."

"Call an ambulance. Who's going to call an ambulance?"

"There's no cell phone."

"Call the gatekeeper here."

"Where did the janitor come from?"

I heard a buzz of discussion around me. The sound was very noisy, including both male and female voices, which made people feel confused.

I felt the dazzling sunlight, slowly opened my eyes, then immediately closed them, raising my hands to cover my eyes.

"Ouch! Wake up!"

"Young man, are you okay?"

"Are you anemic? Do you want to eat something? I have a piece of candy here. I'm telling you, if you feel dizzy, eat one as soon as possible."

"Should we call an ambulance?"

I gradually adapted to the light, moved my hands away, squinted my eyes, and saw the people surrounding me.

The old faces showed their age.

This is a group of retired elderly people, some in their fifties and sixties, some in their seventies and eighties.

They were very enthusiastic, bending down to look at me and giving me advice.

I sat up from the ground, feeling a little weak.

I pressed my stomach, feeling hungry.

Apart from hunger, there is no other discomfort.

"Are you okay, young man?" an old man asked.

I shook my head and stood up from the ground.

I looked around and saw that this was a public green space.

In the distance, there are middle-aged and elderly people dancing, singing opera singers, and many people walking their dogs and playing with the birds. This place is very lively, and although the people here are not young, it is full of life and energy.

I was a little confused and didn't understand what was happening.

I should...should have arrived in a different space, in the area where Min Qing disappeared.

Shouzi and Nantian should be with me.

Then what?

My head started to hurt, and the nerves were twitching, whipping my brain.

I have symptoms of tinnitus.

It wasn't until the uncles and aunties around me started yelling again that I regained my normal hearing.

"Is it okay, young man?" The man who asked me just now spoke again.

I shook my head.

I can't think about those things, I get a headache when I think about them.

This is not normal.

I suspect I've lost part of my memory.

I looked around, trying to find Shouzi and Nantian, but found nothing.

I touched my pocket and took out my phone.

There's a signal!

I was a little stunned and dialed the number subconsciously.

The person I want to contact is of course Wu Ling.

But when I dialed the number, a beep told me that the other party was not in the service area.

This is to be expected.

"Are you really okay?"

Most of the people around me left. They murmured, probably because they disliked my lack of gratitude and lack of politeness.

There were still people who stayed, some watching the excitement, and some who really cared about me.

I came to my senses, thanked the people around me, and left quickly.

I walked a little further and saw the people dispersed, so I took out my phone again.

The call to Wu Ling failed, but it was an indisputable fact that the mobile phone had signal.

I checked the map online, and a strange map appeared on the screen of my mobile phone.

After zooming out of the map, only an irregular quadrilateral plot can be seen. Outside the plots, there is a grid map with no content displayed. The national map cannot be displayed.

I was in a daze.

This different space, as we expected before, is a separate area of ​​​​Minqing. It has boundaries, like a room, and at the top it may be a wall, it may be a cliff.

I had the urge to walk around the border.

To leave here and return to the real world, you must pass through that circle of borders.

Of course, there is also the possibility of death upon contact.

I had some game concepts floating around in my head.

If you really want to die in the game, you will know after giving it a try. Most games don't let players die just like that. The border may be insurmountable, or it may be traversable into a new map.

This is not a game. This is not even a different space created by the genius of the game.

I don't dare to take risks.

I tried calling the thin man.

This time it actually worked!

"Brother Qi!" The thin man's voice was very excited.

"Where are you now?" I asked quickly.

"I don't know either..." The thin man immediately wilted.

"You turn on your mobile phone to navigate. I'll send you my location." I said.

After some operations, we knew each other's location.

I landed in a central green space, at the edge of the entire map. The thin man landed in a nearby community, but there was an embarrassing problem - he landed in a kindergarten warehouse in the community.

He and I were both a little confused.

I don’t care about the principle behind this random drop.

The thin man was huddled in the warehouse. To get out, someone had to open the door from the outside.

"Is there no window for you to climb out?" I asked reluctantly.

"No. There is only a transom, which is too small." The thin man was frustrated, "I'm like this... um..."

There is no doubt that the thin man will have to deal with the kindergarten security guard.

"Don't get us into the police station." I gave my suggestion, and then suddenly thought, "Just say you are mentally retarded. I'll find you. Well, you...can you?"

The thin man was silent for a minute and reluctantly agreed.

We all know that our current situation is not good.

It’s an unfamiliar place and it’s very dangerous. Getting into trouble with people or even being sent to the police station is a very bad situation.

I followed the navigation guidance and walked to the kindergarten.

It's been a smooth ride.

I didn't see ghosts or anything strange.

This place is like an ordinary corner of the city. There are vehicles on the road. At this time, office workers have basically arrived at work. There are not many people and cars on the road, but there are slightly more elderly people shopping for groceries and hanging out. There is no one who looks like a student.

When I walked into the community, I was not stopped by the guard. When I arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, I heard the singing of the children inside.

I put on my most sincere look and showed the location on the map to the guard, "He's a good buddy of mine. His parents are old and he has brain problems, so they can't stand him. Don't worry, he won't attack anyone." He just likes to walk around. He used to be a photographer and he liked to travel around and take pictures. He had a brain problem and fell down from the mountain one time..."

The guard didn't believe my nonsense, but he stared at me warily, trying to drive me away.

I begged and begged, and finally he agreed to send someone to take a look.

Not long after, I heard a voice coming from his walkie-talkie.

The guard looked surprised.

I was taken in and saw a thin man being watched by another guard.

We had already exchanged lines, and the thin guy pretended to be crazy, raised his hands, pretending to be framing the scene, and enthusiastically invited me to come and watch.

I kept a straight face and "coaxed" him to quiet down.

"You are too ridiculous!" the security guard said without any pretense.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't expect him to sneak in." I apologized. I didn't have any cigarettes in my pocket. Smoking is not allowed in places like kindergartens. It would be even more inappropriate to stuff money into my pocket. I could only apologize with a smile on my face.

However, my words still made the security guard change his expression.

The kindergarten's warehouse is in a corner, and the school teachers cannot see it. It is estimated that no one noticed that the thin man "dropped" in the warehouse.

The security guards have to hold on to them, and their "dereliction of duty" will be exposed.

The other party scolded us, cursed us a few times, and then drove us away.

One of us pretended to be a fool, the other pretended to be a grandson, and we finally managed to get this matter over with.

"Too tired..." The thin man was dejected.

"It's just tired. It's not life-threatening." I sighed and asked, "What do you remember?"

"I just remember we fell in here." The thin man said.

I hesitated and said, "Don't you think that you have lost a piece of memory?"

"What loss of memory?" the thin man asked blankly.

Why is his situation different from mine?
