I Was Once a Legend

A group of people finally gathered in the kitchen.

Everyone had a meal together, Dong Linhai kept sneaking a look at Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing, and found that not only did these two people show no signs of quarreling again, but on the contrary... they still feel a little tired?

Dong Zheng casually put the peeled prawns in Cui Zuojing's bowl, Cui Zuojing didn't even look at him, just picked up the prawns, dipped them in vinegar and ate them.

Brother is probably apologizing to him.

Cui Zuojing ate this meal without even moving his chopsticks. As long as he took a second look at any dish, Dong Zheng would pick it up for him without saying a word, and it was the best part.

Although he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Only by lowering his head can he not be seen by Dong Zheng.

It's so cool to have someone take care of you, no wonder those pretty girls enjoy being pursued and have a few spare tires. If he has the capital, he would be willing too.

Wang Que was so overwhelmed that he began to doubt his life, what happened, why was he suddenly so full of adultery!

And judging from her keen intuition as a girl...there is no secret special relationship between these two people!

Is Brother Dong pursuing Brother Cui?

Wang Que immediately made up a series of 80-word dramas. She tried several times but failed to suppress her thoughts as usual. At this time, Cui Zuojing ate a piece of fat that she didn't like. Frowning, he put the intact piece of meat with only one tooth mark on Dong Zheng's plate.

Dong Zheng ate it without hesitation.

Wang Que:? ! ? ! ? !

She clutched her chest and almost died on the spot.

Lin Hangzhi also felt that something was wrong, but these two people were people he couldn't afford to offend.

We dare not ask anything, dare not say anything.

Only Dong Linhai was heartless, and felt that the relationship between the two of them had returned to normal, and even made progress, which is great.

For Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing, this meal was really enjoyable. One of them was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. Dong Zheng served the little ancestor and knew that Cui Zuojing was going to give him a chance. I also feel satisfied.

After that, there was nothing important. After dinner, Dong Zheng greeted Heinrich on his mobile phone, and took everyone back to the castle.

The assessment time was set on the third day. Before that, everyone except Wang Que, who joined the team later, had never experienced a single box, so I thought they were a little nervous.

Dong Zheng originally planned to let everyone enter the single box to practice, but there are two problems: one is that there is no teammate to take care of him, he is really afraid that someone will have an accident in it and cannot come back, and the other is that they can't find them. What a fitting one-person box.

Now it seems that these boxes have been collected by major organizations for training and evaluation of members.

But no matter how worried you are, such a day will always come. After all, no one can guarantee that everyone can complete the test of the box together.

After getting ready, everyone came to Heimdall again. Tao Ji, who was in charge of grade evaluation, was already waiting for them in the warehouse. After greeting everyone, he led everyone into the warehouse where the single box was sealed.

"These are all single-person boxes for assessment. The difficulty ranges from two to three and a half stars. Everyone chooses the one they want, and then finds a free lounge and enters there."

Many different boxes are placed on the shelves in ascending order of difficulty level, some with names marked, and some with blank labels.

Dong Zheng looked at them one by one, and after thinking about them, he finally chose a Samsung black box.

The name of the box was not written on the label, only the type of decryption and exploration was marked. Cui Zuojing looked aside with his arms folded, probably understanding that Dong Zheng wanted to use his strengths.

"Is this the decision?"

Dong Zheng nodded, everyone except Lin Hangzhi had already been selected, and said: "I will go to the assessment first, everyone must be safe in the box, the rating is secondary, and we must ensure that we come out alive. "

"Don't worry." Dong Linhai was full of confidence, "I'm sure I can."

Wang Que also nodded. Since the end of the snowfield worm trail, the little girl who really realized her potential has become more confident. She gradually understands that those worms that will appear at her will are like a part of her body. Feel sick and repelled.

Hangzhi struggled for a long time and finally chose a two-star difficulty box. He has no effective means of saving his life until now. He is plagued by bad luck and has no teammates to cooperate. If he rashly enters a high-difficulty box, the probability of death is too high.

Dong Zheng found a lounge, Cui Zuojing went in and closed the door, saw Dong Zheng standing in the middle of the room studying the patterns on the box, and said, "Let me tell you first, since it's your assessment, I didn't care about it at all during the whole process." It won't help."

"I can do without you." Dong Zheng looked at him and smiled slightly, "This is a good opportunity to prove to you that my combat power is much higher than five."

"It's fine if you have this awareness." Cui Zuojing sat on the sofa, thinking whether to wait outside, and finally said, "Forget it, I'll stay with you in the space, in case there is any accident, you Don't lose your life."

"As long as there are no other weird people making trouble, I should be fine." Although Dong Zheng said this, he still called Cui Zuojing back to the prisoner's space. If an heir enters the box or Kether deliberately modifies the difficulty, he will be overwhelmed.

He was the only one left in the room. Dong Zheng glanced at the closed door, took a deep breath, sat on the sofa, and opened the cover of the black box.

【…】

Dong Zheng opened his eyes, and what he saw was darkness. Sparse lights came in from the outside through the gaps in the curtains, leaving the shadow of the window lattice on the ceiling.

【Your name is John Bayer. You used to be a rich man. Three months ago, because of an accident, your company was on the verge of bankruptcy. In order to pay off the debt, you sold the garage and had nowhere to go. 】

[You have contacted all your friends, but those friends who were enthusiastic when you were prosperous have various reasons to refuse at this time. You are desperate, so you can only contact Fa Xiao who you haven't seen for a long time with the mentality of trying. 】

[Unexpectedly, Fa Xiaofei, who hadn’t been in touch with you since college, still welcomes you after 20 years, so in this case, you moved into Fa Xiaofix’s house on Wisteria Street home temporarily. 】

The ticking sound of the pointer passing by, sleepiness struck, Dong Zheng closed his eyes uncontrollably, and fell into a dream during the cutscene of the plot.

[You think of the glory of the past and the downfall of the present, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the impermanence of the world, and mixed feelings in your heart. The first night passed safely like this. 】

When Dong Zheng woke up again, the sky was completely bright, and there was an old-fashioned clock on the wall opposite the bed, and the pointer pointed to the position of 45:[-].

Dong Zheng lifted the quilt and sat up. Judging from the layout of the room, the style of the windows, the lamp on the bedside table, and all the decorations on the wall, he guessed that the background of this box was probably in the Western countries in the 90s.

The door of the room was closed tightly, and a calendar was hung behind the door. Dong Zheng got out of bed and found at the end of the bed the clothes that Mr. Bayer had thrown everywhere the night before. He picked them up and put them on. Behind the door, look at the calendar.

On October 1994, 10, I circled it with a red pen and wrote a Welcome.

Dong Zheng guessed that this was probably the day he first moved in, so today is October 1994, 10.

He took out a red fountain pen from the pouch and crossed out the 12th day.

After searching the room, Dong Zheng only found the mobile phone that John left in his pocket. There were many call records and text messages with a fixed number in the mobile phone. According to the information mentioned in it, Dong Zheng speculated that this was the owner of the house, John -Mr. Fix's number.

There seemed to be no other clues. Dong Zheng opened the curtains and looked out. Rows of exquisite villas stood under the morning sky, and the plants in the garden were lush.Dong Zheng stretched out his hand and touched the outside of the window sill, the wall was still a little damp, he thought it had rained not long ago.

Dong Zheng opened the door, and immediately smelled a tangy aroma. He followed the smell and walked to the kitchen. A man of medium build was cooking. Seeing Dong Zheng coming out, he greeted warmly: "Wake up, I just made a meal." Let’s have some broth together later.”

Fix is ​​nearly 1.8 meters tall, looks in his 40s, and is already showing signs of gaining weight. With a kind smile on his face, Dong Zheng responded, not knowing how John and Fix get along—but He immediately realized that the two hadn't seen each other for 20 years. Even if they had a good relationship, it's normal for them to be a little stranger now.

Fix brought a pot of broth, a plate of baked toast and two bowls, and said, "I'm used to eating this way, I don't know if you like it or not."

"Very good, very good." Dong Zheng hurriedly stopped Fix who wanted to serve him soup, and said, "I'll do it myself."

There is a layer of oily stars floating on the broth. Seeing such a pot of soup early in the morning, Dong Zheng smelled the meat and was still a little greasy. He was not hungry at all, so he only filled a little bit.

The two of them ate breakfast relatively silently. It was very quiet outside, and they couldn't hear any sounds that should be in the community.

After the meal, Dong Zheng took over the task of washing the dishes. Fix yawned and said, "I'll go back to sleep for a while. I might not be able to get up at noon, so you can cook something yourself."

Dong Zheng responded, and Fix said again: "It's not safe outside these days, don't go out casually, just treat this as your own home, don't be restrained, but don't enter the basement."

Watching Fix's back disappear behind the door of the master bedroom, Dong Zheng looked back at the leftovers on the table, because he ate little, there was still a little broth left, and the minced meat sank to the bottom of the bowl, and he didn't know what happened to Fix Boiled, Dong Zheng tasted neither pork nor beef.

After washing and tidying up the tableware, he thought of Fix's phrase "I'll go back to sleep for a while, I might not get up at noon".

Did he not come back last night after sleeping for so long?

Thinking about it, Dong Zheng went to the porch to look, and found that there were traces of wet mud on a pair of sneakers in the shoe cabinet, and there was a portable flashlight in the drawer of the cabinet next to it.

The coat on the hanger has been worn for a long time, the cuffs and elbows are very worn, and the front is also a little dirty. There is a dirty handprint on the wall at the entrance, which makes it easy to imagine the actions of the owner when he comes home to change shoes every day .

There are traces of a single man's life everywhere in the house. Dong Zheng saw rectangular traces on the wall in more than one place. He thought that there used to be a picture frame hanging here, but for some reason, it was taken down now.
