midnight ten

Atlantis Suite.

Zheng Luozhu nervously followed Tang Lin into the door. He didn't hesitate when facing the pursuit boat, but now he really wanted to shrink back.

In his and his boss's vision, no matter how difficult and tortuous the road back was, Tang Lin and Nan Ge would never put themselves in danger.

it's good now.

Leaving a message to deceive + implicate teammates, adding to the crime.

Tang Lin turned on the lights in the living room, and all the lights were dazzlingly bright.

He didn't sit down, but stood in the middle of the living room, turned around, and casually looked at Fan Peiyang and Zheng Luozhu, as if they had been together for so long, and only remembered to look at the two teammates.

Fan Peiyang also looked at him, but said nothing.

"Mr. Tang..." Zheng Luozhu felt that he should explain something, otherwise the two bosses would look at each other speechlessly, and the pressure would be too great.

Tang Lin shook his head lightly and interrupted him: "Zhuzi, listen to me first."

Zheng Luozhu immediately shut up and nodded hastily.

Tang Lin stopped looking at Fan Peiyang, turned to him, and the coldness in his eyes subsided a little: "The pass through the gate is about to open, and if you don't go to the caves, you will have no chance. You are afraid that I will block you, and you are afraid of delaying time, so you choose to cut first and play later, right? ?”

Zheng Luozhu: "..."

all hit.It's so accurate that it makes people suspect that when he conspired with his boss, he hid somewhere and listened.

Tang Lin looked at Zheng Luozhu who bowed his head silently, his voice calmed down, leaving only a touch of coolness: "Zhuzi, you want to find someone, I have no right to stop you, and I have no intention of stopping you. But if you still use me and Nan Ge is a teammate, if you want to act alone next time, let me know in advance."

Zheng Luozhu was already prepared to be severely criticized, but he never expected Tang Lin to say such a thing.

It's like you have already washed your neck and waited for a knife, but the other party just hit you twice with your hand, and you haven't used any force.

He looked up in surprise, and looked at Tang Lin for a long time before confirming that the other party really didn't follow up.

On the way back, he typed out a bellyful of explanations, which were both pale and meaningless at the moment.

Tang Rin knows everything he thinks, and he thinks that Tang Rin's possible obstacles have always been "self-righteous".

"There is no next time to kill first and play later." Zheng Luozhu made his promise word by word.

Tang Lin nodded and said no more.

Seeing Zhuzi's slumped head and head looking pitiful, Nan Ge couldn't bear it, so he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

Zheng Luozhu felt warm.

As soon as it was warm, my thoughts became active again, and I couldn't think of the sentence Tang Lin said just now, "If you still treat me and Nan Ge as teammates..."

Mr. Tang took the boss out.

Zheng Luozhu silently glanced at Fan Peiyang, and said to himself, Boss, you may not just be hit twice...

His premonition soon came true.

Tang Lin's eyes fell on Fan Peiyang's face again, and he said, "Let's chat alone."

Fan Peiyang nodded calmly: "Yes."

Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge glanced at each other, ready to withdraw knowingly, but Tang Lin turned around first and walked up the stairs.

None of them lived in the living room on the second floor of this duplex suite, and they thought it was troublesome to go upstairs and downstairs, so they were always empty.

Fan Peiyang didn't expect Tang Rin to go upstairs, so he froze for a moment before following.

Zheng Luozhu and Nan Ge watched them disappear at the end of the stairs.

Zheng Luozhu: "Sister..."

Nan Ge: "Huh?"

Zheng Luozhu: "I seem to be unemployed."

Nan Ge: "No, Tang Lin will give your boss a sigh of relief."

The second floor of the suite, the deepest bedroom.

The chandelier is warm and bright, reflected in Tang Lin's eyes, but it is the frost that has reappeared.

Fan Peiyang stood there silently, as if he didn't intend to speak first.

"You don't want to say anything?" Looking at each other for a while, it was Tang Lin who broke the oppressive atmosphere.

Compared with determination and stubbornness, he lost to Fan Peiyang most of the time.

"Time is tight, and I'm worried that you will stop me. My reason is the same as that of bamboo." Fan Peiyang quickly answered Tang Lin's ending.

Tang Lin showed an inconceivable expression: "So you think I should simply tell you 'this is not an example' and it's over?"

Fan Peiyang fell into a brief silence.

Apparently he thought so, but now he knew that was too optimistic.

After thinking twice, he gave his own attitude: "Our relationship is different, you can be angry with me."

Tang Lin was overwhelmed by his reasoning, and his anger reached the peak, but he smiled instead: "Thank you for your 'yes'."

Fan Peiyang frowned slightly: "When you were angry with me before, you would just ignore people for a long time, and you would not ridicule."

Tang Lin has no impression, but he can be sure: "Keep your anger in your heart, hurt your body, and pay off the culprit. I won't do such a thing that is not worth the loss."

Fan Peiyang looked at him fixedly: "You just don't remember."

Tang Lin couldn't judge.

He didn't think Fan Peiyang would lie to him.

But I also can't imagine myself sulking.

Go to whoever gets angry with him, this is his consistent style.

"Anyway, I'm back now." Fan Peiyang raised his arm and clicked on the <Stationery Box>. "Instead of getting angry with me, you might as well take a look at the stationery I brought back."

His topic changes and movements are too smooth, so smooth that he doesn't hide it. He tells you openly that "stationery" is the most important thing to me, and it doesn't matter whether you are angry or not.

Tang Lin suddenly lost his temper.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that the "cold war" self didn't really want to hold his anger in his heart, but he was so powerless that he didn't want to say more.

Fan Peiyang picked up his arm and helped him choose "accept the gift". In mid-air, the projection screens of the two people were juxtaposed.

"Ding--"

"Ding--"

"Ding--"

Five new stationery items fell into Tang Lin's stationery box, namely——

<[Defense] Approaching Science>

<[Anti] jogging shoes>

<[Phantom] Analgesia and Pain Relief>

<[Fantasy] full of vitality>

<[Magic] Fast Healing>

Fan Peiyang: "You keep these five, and use them when you break through."

There are anti-possession phantom tools, but obviously they have nothing to do with restoring memories.

Tang Lin looked at the two projection screens in front of him, and knew that the stationery that was given was just incidental, and that what Fan Peiyang didn't give was the point.

In Fan Peiyang’s <Stationery Box>, not counting the “<[Anti] I see through you> X3, <[Anti] Admiralty Cover> X1, <[Special] I’m a VIP>” brought by the dungeon, there are three a new stationery—

<[phantom] vividly in mind>

<[Phantom] still fresh in memory>

<[Fantasy] Meng Po Soup>

"I want to try these three now." Fan Peiyang didn't want to wait for a moment, but after seeing the cloud on Tang Lin's eyebrows, he instinctively added a euphemistic suffix, "...is that okay?"

Tang Lin punctured mercilessly: "If I say no, you won't try?"

Fan Peiyang: "..."

"Come on." Tang Lin stood up straight facing him, a compromise, but also seeing through, "If you don't finish these tests, you won't be able to listen to me at all."

Fan Peiyang's heart has not been settled since entering the door.

Tang Lin satisfied him.

With permission, Fan Peiyang clicked on <[Defense] Vividly in My Eyes> without saying a word, and selected Tang Lin as the protection target.

Tang Lin faintly felt a wave of energy entering his body, trying to establish a connection with his feelings.

In the next moment, the scene in the house became clear in his eyes, clear became high-definition, high-definition became ultra-high-definition, and even every grain of the carpet pattern was unprecedentedly vivid.

In addition, the past events are also revolving in his mind.

His childhood, his university, his acquaintance with Fan Peiyang, their hardships and joys in starting a business...

Tang Lin closed her eyes, and tried her best to find the intimate moment between the two in that scene.

No.

Even when the first order was placed, the employees were overjoyed, but Mr. Fan remained motionless.At that time, he couldn't see it, so he insisted on high-fiving Fan Peiyang, and his hand was almost stretched out in front of him, so Fan Peiyang reluctantly touched him.

Such a long time ago.

vividly.

The revolving lantern of memories lasted for about 5 minutes, and then gradually disappeared.

It should be the time limit for the stationery.

Tang Lin opened his eyes and met Fan Peiyang's gaze.

The man waited attentively, and there was still a trace of tension and anticipation that he tried his best to hide.

Tang Lin shook his head slowly: "It doesn't work."

Fan Peiyang's lips were straightened for a long time before he said, "Next."

"Wait," Tang Lin yelled to pause, "Didn't the person who sold you stationery introduce the effect of stationery?"

Fan Peiyang: "Probably introduced."

Tang Lin: "What do you say about 'never forget'?"

Fan Peiyang: "Within the time limit of stationery, vision and memory will be clearer than before. As long as the memory of the past is in your mind, no matter how far away it is, you can recall it,"

Tang Lin thoughtfully: "On the other hand, if you don't remember it, it proves that those memories are no longer there..."

"Next." Fan Peiyang interrupted him and repeated it again.

Tang Lin frowned, but finally remained silent.

The second stationery, <[Magic] still fresh in memory>.

It's pretty much a stripped-down Pro version of "Live in Mind".The function of visual field enhancement has been canceled and replaced by a more realistic memory revolving lantern.

Still useless.

Seeing that Fan Peiyang was about to order the third <[Fantasy] Meng Po Soup>, Tang Lin panicked: "Don't use it yet..."

Fan Peiyang looked at him puzzled.

Tang Lin reminded: "That's called 'Meng Po Soup', are you sure you recovered your memory?"

Unexpectedly, Fan Peiyang shook his head simply: "It's amnesia. But don't worry, it's just a short-term amnesia. The stationery will last for 1 minute and will recover later."

Tang Lin still felt confused: "Do you want me to remember, or amnesia?"

"It's just short-term amnesia." Fan Peiyang emphasized, as if he was educating the subjects about the safety of the science experiment.

"Okay, short-term amnesia," Tang Lin didn't argue with him, "but what's the use for me to recover my memory?"

"I don't know. Maybe after 1 minute, when all your memories suppressed by the stationery come back, the memories that were erased intact will also take the opportunity to come back; of course, it may not come back," Fan Peiyang is very frank, "I just think If you can’t recover positively, maybe you can try to do the opposite and fight poison with fire.”

Tang Rin: "..."

The air became quiet, and the fish that would have occasionally swam outside the floor-to-ceiling windows disappeared.

Perhaps he also felt the strangeness of the atmosphere.

It's not tense, it's not tit-for-tat, but it is, a little depressed.

"Fan Peiyang, do you know what you are doing?" Tang Lin heard her own voice, which should have been a cold question, but when she really asked, it brought more complicated and inexplicable things.

Fan Peiyang met his gaze calmly: "I just want to get your memory back."

Tang Lin: "So you went to the caves without saying a word? Do you know that if it wasn't for me and Nan Ge, you two wouldn't be able to come back!"

What made him explode was not "Meng Po Tang", nor "cutting first and then playing", but it was hidden under this kind, Fan Peiyang's paranoia, and the strong anxiety that he might lose this person.

But Fan Peiyang was very calm.

That kind of calm is like a deep sea that can swallow everything: "I lost your memory, and I have the responsibility to make up for it."

"No need," Tang Lin said anxiously, "I don't care if I can get that memory back!"

Fan Peiyang's voice was extremely slow and heavy: "I care."

Tang Rin: "I remember how we met, I remember how we struggled, I remember how you took care of me after I was sick, isn't that enough?"

Fan Peiyang: "Not enough."

"Fan Peiyang," Tang Lin took a deep breath, slowed down his voice, but his gaze became more piercing, "Is my memory more important than your life?"

Fan Peiyang said without hesitation, "Yes."

"Okay," Tang Lin nodded, "From then on, I will be the captain of the VIP. I will be responsible for the actions and safety of all of you. If you want to find stationery, you can report to me."

Fan Peiyang didn't answer right away, as if he was thinking about it.

But Tang Rin never planned to ask him for advice: "From now on, you are in charge of my memory, and I am in charge of your life."

……

Meng Po Tang, who fought poison with poison, also failed in the end.

Its only effect was to use that blank minute to ease the violent thoughts in Tang Lin's heart, allowing Fan Peiyang to escape and return downstairs with dignity.

On the day the checkpoint opens, 23:00.

There is still an hour to open, but the hotel lobby is already bustling, not as crowded as the dungeon checkpoint, but it is still full of people and noisy.

Zheng Luozhu came down first to investigate the situation.

There must be no way to squeeze in the front of the white gate, which is the entrance to pass through. He can only wander around in the middle of the lobby.They were full of unfamiliar faces, and they couldn't tell who was who or what kind of organization they were. Finally, when they turned around the shopping area, they saw Guan Lan and Leon with strawberry donuts.

The former sat on the ground, holding a box of Boston donuts, and one in his mouth.

The latter stood beside him, wearing a black round-neck sweater and casual trousers of the same color.

It was the first time Zheng Luozhu saw a man who could wear a soft knitted sweater with a killer effect.

"Why are you the only one?" Guan Lan muttered vaguely while biting a donut, and with the other hand, she did not forget to take one out of the box and hand it to Zheng Luozhu.

Zheng Luozhu even waved his hands and backed away: "No, no, I just finished supper."

He didn't eat.

He was afraid that the cake would be poisonous.

Guan Lan curled her lips, put the donuts back, and then heard Zheng Luozhu say: "Our captain asked me to come down and take a look first."

"Captain?" It was Leon who spoke, his voice was very low.

"Well," finally there is a leading brother, Zheng Luozhu can't wait for the whole world to broadcast, "Tang Lin, the captain of our VIP!"

Guan Lan was surprised: "I thought it would be Fan Peiyang."

"My boss has decided to stand behind my captain." Zheng Luozhu spread his hands, "You know, behind every successful captain, there must be an uneasy man."

Guan Lan and Leon: "..."
