"This is..." Wen Zheliu looked at it carefully, and then looked at the properties of the item, He Qin reminded: "I found it in the grass beside the road."

Wen Zheliu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said: "Yes, I remembered! Before you were pressed to the ground by that eyeless monster, I stabbed its forearm with a knife. , I seem to have cut off something metallic!"

He Qin took the pendant from his hand, and turned it lightly on his fingertips a few times, "So, this thing was originally hung on that monster..."

He took a few glances, and suddenly stretched out the thumb of the other hand to buckle on the pendant. He only heard a "click", and the pendant was opened by him.

"Huh?" Wen Zheliu was amazed, and hurriedly moved closer to take a closer look. Although this pendant is small, there is a mystery hidden inside, "Is this... a photo frame pendant?"

He Qin kept silent, looking at the old yellow photos inside.It seems to be a bust of a girl. Due to the long time, this photo has faded to white, and only a thin layer of burnt yellow remains on the edge, but even so, Wen Zheliu can still see that the color on the photo The girl was fair-skinned and had curly light blonde hair.

Looking at it again at this time, its attributes have become different again.

[Introduction to props: A broken silver photo frame pendant, time flies, and the beauty in the painting is no longer clear.Take it to the market to pay for the food in advance, and maybe the boss will be interested in asking you about the story behind it. 】

"...What the hell! The stalk of buying vegetables in the vegetable market is hard to pass, right!" Wen Zheliu suppressed the desire to complain desperately, and looked at the translucent writing floating in the air with disgust.

"Anyway, this is really a vintage antique." He Qin got up, went to the tray Du Zijun sent to dig out gauze and disinfectant alcohol, and said, "Wipe it, maybe we can see the owner name."

Wen Zheliu was injured earlier, He Qin didn't let him do it, but sat on the side by himself and wiped the blood stains with gauze soaked in alcohol. See a string of letters.

"Hill..." He Qin narrowed his eyes and recognized a word word by word, "Hill, the last name of the owner of the pendant."

"Could it be Marianne's pendant?" Wen Zheliu guessed, "or is it her family's pendant? In short, the girl in the photo has blond hair, and the hostess of the cottage is also blond. There must be something between the two." relation."

He Qin handed the pendant to him: "You keep it first, we'll go down and ask later, I'll rub some medicine for you now."

"Oh." Wen Zheliu held the pendant and lay down on the bed as promised.Since the Uncanny Valley has set up a threshold where minors are not allowed to enter—although this restriction is now under the interference of the holy nuns, it seems to be false—so the degree of reality is also strived to be extreme, similar to the scene in the survival world where players explode into white light when they die It won't happen, the tragedy that Wen Zheliu and the others saw before is a common sight in their future game life.

In this case, the player's synchronization rate in Uncanny Valley will also be adjusted to [-]%. Therefore, the pain Wen Zheliu and He Qin felt when they were injured, and the great pain that Lu Hai and Lin Fangfei suffered before their death are all completely different from the real world. No one else, for players, it is real and cannot be escaped.

He Qin put the coat that Wen Zheliu took off to one side, and carefully opened his shirt.Wen Zheliu has slender limbs, fair skin, and a handsome silhouette on one side of his face, with a sense of beauty between a teenager and a young man, but now, a large purple-red bruise has been bumped on his back, falling on He Qin's eyes felt very glaring.

"Be patient." He Qin looked at the effect of the wound medicine, warmed it in his palm first, then held his thin and strong waist and pushed and kneaded it repeatedly, pressing away the wet skin in circular motions with his strong thumbs. potion.Wen Zheliu clenched his teeth, and moaned intermittently from his throat. He Qin's palm was extremely hot. The moment he touched his naked skin, he almost jumped up subconsciously.

"Does it hurt?" Wen Zheliu saw sweat on his forehead, and a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on his back. He Qin lowered his voice low and hazy, and comforted him in a coaxing tone, "I'll be fine soon." Yes, be good."

Wen Zheliu took a breath. Although he was uncomfortable, his stamina and health were indeed rising at a rapid rate. He thought for a while and asked, "Brother, your dog tag..."

"I want to ask brother what is the use of the dog tag to the holy nun?" He Qin continued, "Turn over, baby, be careful."

"Is it okay to say this in the uncanny valley?"

"It's okay," He Qin said with a relaxed tone, "From the moment she pulled you here and tried to deceive you, you have been under her surveillance all the time, it doesn't matter if you leak or not."

"You know about this?" Wen Zheliu was a little surprised.

He Qin smiled: "Of course I know, I also know that Baby is very smart, so I reversed her routine once."

"What's the use of reversing the routine once, she was thrown here." Wen Zheliu was a little downcast, "I don't know what's going on in the outside world..."

He Qin pondered for a moment: "In the beginning, she hijacked me just to use me as a bargaining chip to negotiate with N-Star, so as to gain time to fully take over Uncanny Valley. But now she wants my dog ​​tag, probably for the sake of my being in Nova Star. the power of the city."

"Permission." Wen Zheliu repeated in a murmur.

"Come on, turn over here." He Qin said, "Yes, my authority. The dog tag is a very useful key item, it contains all my personal information, like a keepsake, or an ancient soldier talisman. So, in The moment you bring it into this world, I can feel you and come to you through it."

"My uncle He Huaizhou is not only the chief designer of the 23rd Century City of New Stars, but also the general manager of Uncanny Valley. The concept, structure, and rules of the City of New Stars... everything was proposed by the ancestors two centuries ago, and it has been established in the past. It has been continuously improved in the following two centuries. By the time of my uncle, the centralized management method is no longer suitable for the existing model of Nova City. If it is compared to a door, this door was originally only Adelaide Can drive, uncle can drive, so now, it is..."

"You can drive too?" Wen Zheliu deduced.

"The thirteen directors including me can open it, and the dog tag is my key." He Qin smiled slightly, "The thirteen of us are nicknamed the 'House of Lords' inside N Company."

Wen Zheliu was stunned for a moment, trying his best to search for this concept in his mind: "What an ancient system name."

"The opposite is the board of directors of the House of Commons," He Qin said indifferently, "Of course, I will tell you about this in detail another day. The authority of the House of Lords is exactly what the nuns need now. Twelve seconds later, the Skynet system of Nova City discovered my abnormal state, and at that time, it should be around 12:7 p.m. on July 29."

"From eight o'clock in the afternoon to the early morning of the same day... So, it wasn't you who called me at that time?!" Wen Zheliu was startled suddenly, "Not only did she pretend to be you, but she also called me in just five short five minutes. Within hours, all the administrators were completely expelled and took over the entire Uncanny Valley!"

"Yes," He Qin took advantage of his attention being attracted by the conversation, and slowly increased the strength of his hand, "She pretended to be me, just to seduce you and take away the dog tag in your hand. The horror at that time The Valley is still within the supervision of the City of Nova. It is almost impossible to break into the protective net of the City of Nova from the outside and take control of the Uncanny Valley. Even the Trojan program developed by N-Star itself cannot It can't be done, but the holy nun chooses to break through from the inside..."

"The difficulty suddenly decreased."

"That's right," He Qin smiled wryly, "Your brother just became her key."

"Until now, we still don't know what she wants and what her ultimate goal is," He Qin said, "but according to my guess, 'players can only return to the real world after clearing the game' is what N-Star can strive for." The biggest achievement is that the world's best psychologists, negotiators, and top programmers in the industry who were sent out... have all been defeated in front of her."

"Why?" Wen Zheliu was very puzzled, "N Company is her creator, based on what you know about her, isn't it enough to decide whether to win or lose the negotiation?"

"Because she is a growth-type intelligent life, baby." He Qin said word by word, "She learns lessons from failures and experiences from successes, as long as the first person underestimates the strength of her intelligence and defeats her Going down the battlefield, a mark can be drawn on this blank paper immediately, completing the leap from 0 to 1."

Wen Zheliu immediately thought of something: "If you say that, she and I..."

"You won't be able to replicate the victory you have won a second time with her." He Qin whispered, "Next time, she will know more, have a more perfect grasp of personality, and will be more perfect, making it even more difficult to defeat .”

Wen Zheliu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After He Qin finished pressing, Wen Zheliu's survival stamina was close to full, so He Qin fixed his shirt and helped him sit up again.When Wen Zheliu got up, his whole body was stiff, and he couldn't help supporting himself with his hand, but accidentally pressed it on the opponent's thigh.

"Ah, right..."

He froze suddenly.

An unnatural blush also appeared on He Qin's face, he withdrew his hand as if he was shocked when he saw Zhe Liu, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Go down and eat."

The two walked out of the room one after the other, and went downstairs to eat at the long table.

Wen Zheliu was calm on the surface, but actually panicked inside, he kept thinking wildly, and all the things He Qin had just told him were forgotten by him.

What's going on, could it be that He Qin is also gay?

He Qin called him baby, and loved him like a younger brother. He had thought about it before, this kind of love for no reason seemed too inexplicable, but this man was like a lazy wild leopard that did its own thing, his Fangs and claws can put anyone to death, but they can only give kind tenderness and protection to themselves.This kind of special treatment made Wen Zheliu often feel an unparalleled sense of security, so when the question of "Why He Qin is so nice to him" arose, he spontaneously and timidly extinguished it.

So...is he gay?

No, no, in fact, it may be a normal reaction of a straight man. Aren’t men just this kind of creature? They can be hard when they go to the toilet, hard when they walk, hard when they ride in a car, and hard when they see HelloKitty 300th anniversary dolls on the road... Uh , but there is also a kind of straight man, who belongs to the category of choosing to scold the beautiful girl when he sees a beautiful girl with white silk and a cabinet of gunpla models, "Fuck off, you're blocking me from seeing Gundam"...

His thoughts flew farther and farther away, the little Wen Zheliu waved his wings, swimming back and forth between the stars in the universe and the doll Gundam, trying his best to figure out whether He Qin is a straight man or not.

"What are you thinking about?" He Qin gently rubbed his ears, "Look at the road and be careful not to fall."

After a pause, he added: "Your brother is a straight man, don't think too much about it."

Snapped!With an arrow piercing through the heart, Xiaowen Zheliu fell from the stars in the universe into the shiny and cold Gundam model, and disappeared in an instant.

"Oh." Wen Zheliu lowered his head obediently, a great sense of loss enveloped his whole body, his sky was covered with dark clouds, and the little sun no longer shined, "...Okay, I understand."

"You..." He Qin looked at him, as if he understood something at that moment, but seeing the long table approaching, he turned around and said, "Let's talk after dinner."

At the dining table, Marianne prepared a large portion of hot mashed potatoes and white bread with vegetable soup for each of them. In the warm candlelight and the steaming heat of the food, everyone's feeling of uneasiness was diluted Quite a lot.Marianne was sitting on the main seat, with a rare relaxed smile on her skinny face. She was about to speak when a male player named Bai Hao couldn't bear the hunger. He shouted excitedly: "I Let’s start!” He wanted to take a spoon to dig mashed potatoes into his mouth.

Marianne was startled immediately, He Qin's eyes were sharp, a stone popped out quickly, and hit Bai Hao's wrist neatly, he immediately let out a "Ai yo", the spoon suddenly fell out of his hand and hit the plate.

"I'm sorry," He Qin smiled at Marianne, "My companion is just too hungry, he didn't mean to offend, please pray first."

Bai Hao moved his wrists quietly under the dining table, and glared at He Qin resentfully, but due to the threat of his powerful strength, he dared not say anything more.Marianne smiled, and stretched out her hands to the sides of the table. The rest of the players were unclear, but He Qin had already ordered in a low voice: "Hold your hands, bow your head."

The crowd held each other's hands in a daze, as if forming a circle around the dining table, then lowered their heads, and heard Marianne muttering: "The poor will be fed and fed, and those who seek the Lord will praise him; Their hearts shall live forever..."

Wen Zheliu typed to He Qin: Is this the Christian prayer before meals?

He Qin nodded and replied: The ancient custom was no longer popular more than 100 years ago.

After the pre-dinner prayers were finished, there were occasional low voices on the table, mostly the sound of chewing food and drinking soup. Wen Zheliu thought about it, and leaned closer to He Qin's ear, asking, "Where did you get the stone?"

He Qin smiled slightly, and there was a rare childishness in his smile, which made Zhe Liu's heart pound when he saw it: "It fell off your clothes."

After dinner, Marian announced her tasks and rewards on this dining table.

She said: "The torches are kept in the storage room, and only two people are needed to watch the night every night. After tonight, I have a few candle stubs here. Whoever wants to use them can use them."

Muto frowned and didn't speak.

Wen Zheliu suddenly interjected: "Miss Marian, it's been so long and I haven't asked for your full name, can you tell us?"

Mariann looked at him inexplicably, and replied, "Marryann...Marryann Hill."

After Marianne finished speaking, she said good night to everyone, turned around and went upstairs to rest with the candlestick in hand. Since the only NPC present left, everyone didn't have to worry about the participation value. After the movement, Wen Zheliu said: "Then, let's assign a night watch mission... and then share the information you have collected."
