midnight ten

After the movie ended, Tang Lin couldn't get enough of it, until he walked out of the shopping mall, he was still in a hearty sense of joy.

There was a full moon in the sky, the night wind was blowing slightly, and the shadows of the clouds were moving.

The car was parked opposite the shopping mall. The two walked across the road and came to the side of the black Bentley. Tang Lin went inside and was about to open the passenger's door when he suddenly heard Fan Peiyang ask, "How is it?"

Although the question was a bit delayed, Tang Lin nodded without hesitation: "It's worth the fare."

Fan Peiyang stood by the driver's door, looked over the roof of the car, and met Tang Lin: "That's it?"

The streetlight cast a dim light on his eyes.

The night wind blows, a little cool.

"I thought it was you who wanted to watch a movie..." Tang Lin has always positioned himself as an "accompanying person", but now, he is not sure.

Fan Peiyang didn't let him struggle for too long: "I want to watch the midnight show with you."

The people who came out of the shopping mall had almost left, and the street was so quiet that there was only the sound of the wind.

Tang Lin woke up.

At this moment, all the subtle feelings that pervaded the night were explained.

When Fan Peiyang asked "how is it", he was not asking about the movie, but about him.

But besides "the movie is great", I couldn't give any surprise answer.

"Get in the car." Fan Peiyang opened the car door and got in first.

Tang Lin blew the wind for a few more seconds before sitting in the co-pilot. Fan Peiyang had already started the engine, obviously the conversation just now was over.

But Tang Lin didn't want to.

Why does Fan Peiyang think he likes watching midnight shows?Why is the matter of "watching the midnight show with me" so important that it is worth taking precious time to return to reality... A series of question marks crowded in his heart, but the one that won in the end was:

"Did we always come to the midnight shows?"

As soon as the words came out, Fan Peiyang's movements stopped.

This was the first time Tang Lin asked "before" since the night he was discharged from the hospital.

After a long time, he shook his head lightly: "When you are not sick, you always yell. I think it is a waste of time, so I never accompany you once."

Intellectually, Tang Lin knew that it was his own memory, but emotionally, he couldn't realize the reality of what he had experienced: "What happens after you get sick?"

"I will accompany you," Fan Peiyang said, "but every time I enter the theater, it will be zero o'clock, I will be involved in the checkpoint, and your memory will be modified."

Tang Lin: "Have you already started breaking through the barriers at that time?"

Fan Peiyang: "Yes."

Tang Lin couldn't figure it out: "Since you know you have to break through at zero o'clock, why don't you watch the daytime scene?"

"I'm going to ask you that." Fan Peiyang drove the car out of the parking space and reminded Tang Lin, "Fasten your seat belt."

The two sentences were too seamlessly connected. By the time Tang Lin reacted and fastened his seat belt, the car had already entered the main road.

Tang Lin suddenly understood.

Fan Peiyang didn't need his own answer because he knew he couldn't answer it.

On the streets in the second half of the night, there were obviously fewer cars, and the shadows of the trees were lengthened by the street lamps.

Tang Lin looked out the window for a while, and then asked, "Why do I have to watch the midnight show? Didn't I say the reason?"

Fan Peiyang looked at the road ahead: "No."

Tang Rin: "You didn't ask?"

Fan Peiyang was silent.

Tang Lin twitched the corner of her mouth: "I really don't know which one of us should suffer."

This rare dialogue about "the past" started in a tumultuous period and ended peacefully.

Tang Lin supported his head with one hand, and his eyes glanced at Fan Peiyang's side face inadvertently.

There is no ups and downs on the road when he came, there is no cuteness to buy him popcorn, and there is no scorching heat in the dark movie theater.

……

In the next two days, Fan Peiyang spent most of his time dealing with the follow-up affairs of the company, and asked his assistant to buy him a new mobile phone and refill the phone card.Tang Lin concentrated on reading two books about "Atlantis".

The checkpoint is "Water World" and the suite is "Atlantis". It's hard not to think of it.Although 1/10 uses Nordic mythology, it does not mean that 2/10 levels will still use mythology, but idleness is idleness, and it is always right to read more.

To be on the safe side, he took the book with him in the backpack when he went back, and was going to go back to the checkpoint to consolidate his knowledge.

At the end of the three days, it was still 06:30 in the morning. He and Fan Peiyang returned to the water world. Before his vision was clear, he heard Zheng Luozhu's enthusiastic call: "Boss, Mr. Tang—"

The chaotic purple light receded, and the surroundings became clear.

The same as when they left, it was the shopping area of ​​Water World, and the ones who greeted them here at the right time were not only the sunny bamboo, but also the smiling Nan Ge.

"Mr. Tang, Nan Ge has agreed to join the VIP!" Zheng Luozhu always counts every second when it comes to asking for credit.

Tang Lin was surprised, he just asked Zhuzi to chat with Nange, he really didn't expect to win him over in three days, no, six days.

Fan Peiyang raised his eyebrows slightly. When can Zheng Luozhu hand over tasks to Tang Lin without going through him?

The four returned to the Atlantis suite first. Fan Peiyang and Tang Lin took off their coats and sat on the sofa, while Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge sat opposite them.

The crystal chandelier shines brightly in the room.

Zheng Luozhu asked for Nan Ge's opinion with his eyes, and then cleared his throat: "Boss, Mr. Tang, you all know that Nan Ge said that she waited for six years, but in fact this is a story of more than six years..."

Sincerity is the foundation of trust, since they decided to be partners, there is nothing to hide - this is the consensus reached by Nan Ge and Zheng Luozhu.

So regarding the matter of Nange in the dungeon, the person concerned entrusted Zheng Luozhu with full authority to speak on his behalf.

Nan Ge's story spanned a long time, but it was only a few words to really talk about it.

Many tragedies were lightly passed by Zheng Luozhu, but Tang Lin and Fan Peiyang could still hear those unbearable sufferings.

"...It's probably like this." After Zheng Luozhu finished speaking, he felt relieved.

Tang Lin felt distressed hearing that, and admired Nan Ge's strength even more, but she was still curious: "Zhuzi, how did you convince her to join the gang?"

When they left the water world, Nan Ge clearly had to separate each room from each other.

Zheng Luozhu paused, took the water glass on the coffee table, drank it up, and then put down the empty glass with a "snap": "Mr. Tang, this is the second story. If you and the boss are not busy, we will talk about it again." Listen to..."

Tang Lin and Fan Peiyang: "..."

Time passed silently, and the water world ushered in its morning awakening.

The blue world flowing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows reveals a few rays of light from the invisible far above, like the glimmer of the rising sun, shining into the deep sea.

Zheng Luozhu's story is different from Nange's.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Nan Ge was involved here and encountered hardships. It was a natural disaster, an accident in life, but what Zheng Luozhu experienced was exactly his life.

Fan Peiyang was shocked.

He and Zheng Luozhu are actually the simplest employment relationship, he pays, and Zheng Luozhu works for him.He knew that Zheng Luozhu was hiding something from him when he was in the Wishing House, but it didn't matter, he was not interested in the employee's past.

But now Zheng Luozhu spread these out, the way he did it surprised him, and the frank things surprised him even more, he didn't expect Zheng Luozhu to have such a heavy burden.

In addition to being shocked, Tang Lin was also moved.

Zhuzi was not obliged to persuade Nan Ge, nor was he obliged to open his own wounds in order to persuade Nan Ge, but he did it all without reservation.

When Zheng Luozhu caught Tang Lin's eyes, he couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly concluded: "I don't mean anything else by saying this, that, Nan Ge said, from now on it will be a life-and-death battle, we will fight side by side, even our backs are hurt. Dare to show each other, what else can't be said..."

"Yes," Tang Lin's eyebrows stretched, "There's nothing we can't say."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Fan Peiyang.

Looking at each other, Fan Peiyang shrugged indifferently.

Zheng Luozhu was a little confused and didn't understand what it meant.

Nan Ge didn't figure it out either.

With the consent of the other party involved, Tang Lin looked at the two partners again: "If you have time, listen to me and him..."

Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge: "..."

Today's weather is good, suitable for story solitaire.

Tang Rin's story is actually not long because of his "amnesia" and Fan Peiyang's "limited perspective". Wishing House, I used <[Illusion] is intact as before>, and then, the terminal illness was cured, and the relationship was tragic.

Is dating sweet?Fan Peiyang thought it was okay, but Tang Lin doubted it.

Why amnesia?Unknown for now.

Although the story is not complicated, Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge still need to go slowly.

Zheng Luozhu never doubted the brotherhood between the boss and Mr. Tang, but now, he began to suspect that his IQ was too high.

Nan Ge connected all the details of the "incomprehensible male friendship" that he had encountered in the previous checkpoints, and decided to trust his intuition in the future.

"Is it okay?" Tang Lin looked at the two teammates who had entered a trance, and regretted not infiltrating them step by step. She always felt that the VIP battleship just launched was about to capsize.

Zheng Luozhu: "..."

Nan Ge: "..."

The air was quiet for a long time.

Zheng Luozhu weakly raised his hand: "Boss, Mr. Tang, do you want to try your newly upgraded stationery tree at the training ground?"

Fan Peiyang frowned and glanced over: "Is this related to the topic just now?"

Zheng Luozhu said honestly, "No, I just don't know what to say, I want to go directly to the next scene."

Tang Lin couldn't hold back, let out a laugh, and stood up directly: "Go, go buy the training ground."

The hotel lobby was much more lively than when Fan Peiyang and Tang Lin had just returned. There were people coming and going, and some chatting near the pillars.

There were also a few people in the shopping area. When they saw Tang Lin and the others coming in, they looked up one after another, and found that they didn't recognize each other. Some immediately lowered their heads and went to work on themselves, while some were curious and took a second look.

Click on the projection screen to enter the venue purchase item, select [Training Ground], VIPs found that there are four levels:

[1-4 player training ground]——experience value 2/day

[5-10 player training ground]——experience value 5/day

[10-20 player training ground]——experience value 10/day

[Training ground with more than 20 people] - EXP 30/day

Fan Peiyang swiped his card and rented a four-person training ground for 200 yuan a day, which is a conscience price.

Zheng Luozhu appreciates the boss's gesture of swiping the card the most, it's very chic, but the more it is like this, the more he worries about his financial security: "Boss, you have to keep the bank card away, lost, folded, degaussed, it's troublesome here .”

Fan Peiyang put the small card back into the gray coat pocket: "It's okay, I have a spare card."

Zheng Luozhu: "..."

What he followed was not the boss, but a sense of security.

Chapter 51 Potential┃"If this is the first training, it is recommended to identify the potential first~~"

The VIPs leave the shopping area and return to the hotel lobby.

At the end facing the counter in the lobby, there are three doors. The leftmost one is gray-blue, which is the door for them to enter the hotel after 1/10 customs clearance. The rightmost one is sea-blue, and the middle one is the tallest and most beautiful. Marble white.

"Go to the left door when you return to the dungeon, and go to the right door for all other activities in the water world," Zheng Luozhu led Tang Lin and Fan Peiyang to the sea-blue door on the right, and then pointed to the white door next door, " This can only be opened by breaking through the gate."

Tang Lin asked: "Is the door just a pass through?"

"I'm not sure yet," Zheng Luozhu said angrily, "They're already on guard. As long as they chat for more than 5 minutes, they won't be willing to say more."

Tang Lin heard it interestingly: "Where did you get this information."

"Lobby," Zheng Luozhu said, "Mr. Tang, you don't know. Although the conditions here are better than those in the dungeon, it's actually more boring to live in. There are people hanging out in the lobby all day long, socializing. In [-], there must be square dancing here.”

While speaking, the four people's arms rang together.

<Cheat Sheet>: [Training Ground-008] is open, go along the tunnel.

The sea-blue door opened slowly, and the arched tunnel was the same as the one they entered after leaving the subway.

But longer and more transparent.

When leaving the subway, Tang Lin only cared about the road ahead, but now, he can finally calm down and appreciate it.

Looking up, there happened to be a school of fish swimming by, mottled all over the place.

"It's so beautiful." Nan Ge's sigh came from next to his ear.

Tang Lin teased her: "I thought you and Zhuzi always go to the training ground these days, and I'm tired of seeing them."

Nan Ge laughed: "After so many years of staring at the ceiling, I can't get tired of looking at anything now."

When she said this, she still raised her head, and the sea water reflected in her eyes, a melancholy blue.

Tang Lin calmed down and stopped disturbing her.

In front, Fan Peiyang walked vigorously, followed by Zheng Luozhu trotting behind.

Fan Peiyang felt something was wrong as he walked, and when he turned around, he had already left Tang Lin and Nan Ge behind.

Seeing this, Zheng Luozhu hurriedly passed a message: "Boss, I'm not in a hurry for 1 minute or 2 minutes. You should also relax properly. Just treat this as an aquarium. Take a walk and see how pleasant it is."

"When we are comfortable, others may be hurrying to train. You are within one minute today, and one minute tomorrow. When you reach the level, the difference is life and death." Fan Peiyang stopped, turned around and waited for Tang Lin.

Zheng Luozhu: "..."

Boss, how did you manage to say one thing and do another.

At the end of the tunnel is a semicircular building, like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

The four people pushed the door and entered, and they were greeted by a circular corridor, with a towering transparent dome overhead, and the vast deep sea like a night sky.

The training room is distributed along the corridor, the number is written on the door, all the doors are closed, no sound can be heard, but it is likely that intense training is going on inside.

A few people looked like they had just finished training, and they were walking towards the door.

The four walked along the other side and found the training room 008.

The identification was confirmed, and the door opened in response.

What caught the eye was a circular field with a diameter of 30 meters. The left 1/3 semicircle was filled with various exercise equipment, like a gym, and the right 2/3 semicircle was an open space.

"This is for exercising," Zheng Luozhu stretched out his hand to introduce, and his movements were skillful like a landlord, "the open space here is for practicing stationery trees."

"But I think the equipment is a little weak." Zheng Luozhu looked disgusted, "How can the fighting effect of the best physique compare to the stationery tree?"

Fan Peiyang looked at the equipment area: "Exercising physical strength is not for direct combat, but for the body to withstand the constantly upgrading stationery tree."

Zheng Luozhu was stunned, never thinking in this direction: "Boss, how do you know?"

Fan Peiyang looked at him with "obvious things" written all over his eyes.

Looking at each other for a few seconds, Zheng Luozhu said with emotion: "Boss, you are definitely a man born for fighting."

"Welcome to the training ground~~"

The door closed behind the four of them, and a palm-shaped screen suddenly lit up on the door panel. A little owl was on the screen, tilting its head left and right.

Tang Lin looked at the screen, silent.

He really didn't want to see this one too much.

"Don't worry," Nan Ge said quickly, afraid that Tang Lin and Fan Peiyang would think too much, "It's just a detector."

Detector?

Tang Lin and Fan Peiyang looked at each other, and before they could ask any further questions, the little owl had already turned on the chatterbox mode.

"If this is the first training, it is recommended to identify the potential first~~"

"Testing method, put your palm flat on the screen, when you hear the prompt that the test is complete, put down your palm, and your potential keywords will appear on the screen~~"

"Different people have different potentials, and potentials will affect the future differentiation direction of the stationery tree. Recognize your own potentials and carry out targeted training, and you will get twice the result with half the effort~~"

The notification sound ended, and the little owl stood obediently on the screen, staring with big eyes.

"Can you still measure your potential?" Interesting, Tang Lin asked Nan Ge and Zheng Luozhu curiously, "What are your potentials?"

Nan Ge sighed: "I don't know."

Tang Rin: "I don't know?"

Nan Ge helplessly spread his hands: "I want to take a test, but he won't let me, saying that I must wait for the boss and Mr. Tang to come back, and the whole family will take the test together."

Tang Rin: "..."

Zheng Luozhu endured for so many days, and finally reached the exciting moment: "Then boss, Mr. Tang, I'll go first!"

"Slap" put your hand on the screen.

The little owl was covered under the palm, and did not forget to interact: "What potential do you want~~"

This asked Zheng Luozhu's heart: "Attack, attack, attack," said the important wish three times, "I'm not a conservative type!"

"Attack..." The little owl can still be vaguely seen circling under the fingers, "Let me see..."

Nan Ge asked Tang Lin and Fan Peiyang: "Do you think the potential of bamboo can be attack?"

Mr. Fan and Mr. Tang fell silent together.

Then Nan Ge also fell silent.

"After the inspection, take your claws away!" The little owl flapped its wings quickly.

The keywords are in the hands of others, so Zheng Luozhu hastened to do so.

The screen reappeared, and the little owl slowly faded, replaced by two words that slowly became clear—Defense.

"The potential keyword is 'defense'~~" The little owl was invisible and kept silent.

Zheng Luozhusheng looked back at the three of them, "I don't think this thing is allowed."

Nan Ge's tone was tactful: "We think..."

Tang Lin and Fan Peiyang: "Very accurate."

Bosses are always ruthless.

Zheng Luozhu exchanged places with Nan Ge dejectedly, still thinking about changing his fate against the sky.

"Who is next~~" The keyword disappeared, and the little owl reappeared.

Nan Ge put his hand up.

The little owl rolled around on the blocked screen.

Zheng Luozhu refocused his attention on Nan Ge, and muttered softly: "It must be the 'voice', I can tell, this is linked to the stationery tree, and he pretended to say that it will affect the future division of the stationery tree, the attributes of the stationery tree have long been deal……"

"The detection is complete!"

Nan Ge put down his hand and waited with bated breath.

The three behind him also waited.

The key word emerged—requiem.

Zheng Luozhu swallowed: "Boss, I'm a little cold..."

Fan Peiyang cares more about the true meaning of the key words: "Is it attack or defense?"

"Requiem, let the soul be comforted," Tang Lin tried to analyze literally, "Could it be mental calm?"

Fan Peiyang shook his head: "First let the opponent become a soul, so that the soul can be safe. I tend to attack."

The difference between the two bosses is obvious. It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, so you must not stand in line at this time.

Zheng Luozhu: "Defense, it must be defense, the two of us are the same way!"

Nan Ge obviously had a clear mind, and thought he could probably come up with something, but before he could think deeply, he asked his three teammates to join forces to stir up chaos.

The third one to come forward was Fan Peiyang.

His palm was just right, covering the screen perfectly.

Tang Lin noticed that his hands were beautiful, with slender fingers and beautiful joints.

"Mr. Tang?" Zheng Luozhu's voice.

Tang Lin came back to his senses: "Huh?"

"What keyword do you think the boss can be?" In fact, he had already asked it just now, but Tang Lin seemed to be thinking about something and didn't listen at all.

"I guess it's 'lazy'." Nan Ge was half-serious and half-joking.

Zheng Luozhu was absolutely serious: "I said 'fierce'."

Tang Lin tilted his head: "Why is it all one word?"

Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge: "It's more in line with his aggressiveness."

Tang Rin: "..."

"The detection is complete!"

The three of them raised their heads together, concentrating on it.

It was much easier for Fan Peiyang to let go than the audience. He knew the path he wanted to take, and his potential was at best a reference mark.

The keyword surfaced - destroy.

The air was quiet for a while.

Zheng Luozhu looked up at the back of the boss. He used to think that he was tall and handsome, but now he is a weapon of mass destruction.

Nan Ge whispered to Zheng Luozhu: "I understand the sense of security you mentioned."

Zheng Luozhu was speechless: "No, that's not what I'm talking about, it's about money..."

Fan Peiyang glanced over inadvertently.

Nan Ge: "Money?"

Zheng Luozhu: "Qian...qian... has a very clear direction and a very firm will. Yes, I'm talking about these two points in the boss, which make me feel safe."

Nan Ge: "..."

Is the inexplicable trace of rigidity an illusion?

Destruction, Tang Lin thought in his heart, was quite in line with Fan Peiyang. He had this attribute in the company, but none of the high-level executives who could keep up with him was destroyed and then rebuilt with confidence, and some of them would be destroyed after they were established.

Fan Peiyang returned to Tang Rin's side, not understanding why the latter had a "sure enough" expression on his face.

"Is there anyone else~~" The little owl felt lonely again.

Tang Lin was the last to go up, and gently pressed his hand to the screen.

There is still a little warmth from Fan Peiyang's palm.

Tang Lin is quite looking forward to what kind of potential he will have.

Zheng Luozhu: "Taming the beast, after all, Mr. Tang's stationery tree is a nocturnal monster."

Nan Ge: "Maybe it's a summoning?"

Fan Peiyang didn't speak, and looked at Tang Lin's hand quietly. The back of the hand was very white, and when he grabbed something hard, it would turn slightly pink.

"What kind of potential would it be~~" The little owl fluttered under his fingers, "Let me see..."

At this point, 2 minutes passed.

The little owl didn't move.

The average of the previous three people was no more than half a minute.

Fan Peiyang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Nan Ge frowned in confusion.

Zheng Luozhu: "...is it dead?"

Another 1 minutes passed.

"The detection is complete!"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the little owl's voice seems to be relieved.

Tang Lin put down his arms, waiting for the result.

Fan Peiyang, Zheng Luozhu, and Nan Ge were equally concerned.

The keyword finally emerged, but this time it was four words.

The author has something to say: Zheng Luozhu said that the saddest thing in life is the heart of a killer and the life of a bodyguard~~

Nan Ge said, I study the Requiem.

Fan Peiyang said that my daughter-in-law has pretty hands.

Tang Lin said, my result...
