flying switch

"The enemy shakes hands with the enemy to make peace, the existence of the non-existent, follow the first memory, you will find your answer..." Zhong Rong lay on the bar table, looked at the memo on the phone and muttered, "What the hell is this? What does that mean?"

He also told Alai this sentence, but after several days, this sentence still has no tendency to be solved like a puzzle.

It was so difficult that he didn't think about giving up, because he still had a quest scroll in his hand, and he wanted to find that anonymous person himself.Since the anonymous person issued a mission to capture the treasure gems, he is obviously interested in treasure hunting, and he might be able to meet him along the treasure hunting road.Find him, complete Z's mission, and then find out why he gave up the treasure gem to Z.

Zhong Rong changed his posture, propped his chin, half of his face deformed and squeezed together, and sighed: "I don't understand..."

When Boss Liu came up, he slapped him on the back of the head: "I have time to sigh and no time to work."

Zhong Rong's forehead almost hit the table, he barely supported the table, and the phone fell aside: "I'm done!"

"Fart," Boss Liu pronouncing a syllable like a bullet, "won't you help Xiao Wang prepare the bartending tools? The scene should be hot in a while!"

Xiao Wang is one of the few staff here, standing at the bar all day long, his main job is bartending, and his side job is security.According to Sister Liu, Xiao Wang's last job was an underground boxer, which is not difficult to believe from Xiao Wang's height that reaches the ceiling and muscles full of strength.But after getting along with each other for a few days, Zhong Rong discovered that this macho man with scars at the corners of his eyes was actually a very warm man with a herbivore type.

For example, at this moment, Xiao Wang picked up his dropped mobile phone and waited patiently for him to look over before reaching out and handing it to him.

"There are not many guests, what's the heat?" Zhong Rong cursed, took the mobile phone handed over by Xiao Wang, got up and helped him wipe the cup, "Thanks."

Xiao Wang smiled shyly, made room for him, and looked at Boss Liu: "Sister Liu, will there be many guests tonight?"

Boss Liu kept typing on his mobile phone with his back facing the two, his hair was messed up by himself: "Ah yes, that company nearby, what is it, Flying Switch? It's something special, it's a subsidiary of a big company anyway, The employees are all thieves, they called me yesterday and told me to reserve the venue tonight."

Zhong Rong looked over: "Do you want my help?"

"If you really want to help, don't speak so coldly," Boss Liu saw through him with a glance, "I'll make a call first, Xiao Zhong, you leave a little later today, they have a lot of people coming, and a few of them are too busy."

Zhong Rong nodded and watched her walk out of the bar: "I thought there wouldn't be any big parties in this place."

"Sometimes," Xiao Wang checked the wine cabinet, "this month is the first time."

Zhong Rong helped him move the wine to the table: "Is there a lot of money for the booking?"

Xiao Wang nodded: "There will be a lot of money if you work overtime."

Zhong Rong made a prompt decision: "I'm not leaving today."

Xiao Wang was stunned: "No, Sister Liu said you are underage..."

"I will be an adult in two months," Zhong Rong asked him again, "How much will it cost?"

Xiao Wang took the glass away from Zhong Rong's hand calmly, and wiped it himself: "Don't ask, it will be very uncomfortable if you don't get it if you ask."

Zhong Rong choked: "Why can't I get it, I can get it if I stay."

Xiao Wang looked at him seriously: "No, Sister Liu won't let you stay, I'll listen to Sister Liu."

"Then what if I have to stay alive?"

"That……"

"Then you just throw him out." Sister Liu opened the door and came in, glaring at Zhong Rong, "You're looking for death, let others know that I accept a minor as a night waiter, can't my bar open?"

Zhong Rong still wanted to speak, but Boss Liu raised his finger: "Don't force me to send you back when the time comes."

The 1.8-meter boy was escorted home by his boss. Zhong Rong couldn't think about this scene, so he immediately shut up and worked honestly.He moved the table to make room, looked at Boss Liu, and couldn't hold back: "Boss, I have a question."

Boss Liu stared at the phone without looking up: "Ask."

"Under what circumstances," Zhong Rong thought about the divination, "will the enemy shake hands with the enemy?"

"Huh?" Boss Liu looked over, "You mean the sentence you've been chanting for the past three days?"

Zhong Rong nodded: "I really don't have a clue about this stuff."

"I see, if you have any clues, you wouldn't ask me." Boss Liu put away his phone and thought about it carefully, "Enemy and enemy... this word is a bit serious, two people have to have enmity to be called an enemy, right? However, the opponent may become an enemy if he is a little too aggressive..."

Zhong Rong blinked, waiting for her to continue.Boss Liu supported his chin: "Maybe the two enemies have the same goal, so they form an alliance temporarily? Isn't there a saying that 'the enemy of the enemy is a friend', maybe these two enemies have another enemy with the same goal. What about the enemy?"

The misty maze, the pouring icy rain, and the hand that reaches out when your life hangs in the balance.

Zhong Rong sat up straight: "Temporary alliance..."

Boss Liu glanced at him, then took out his mobile phone: "It's time, you get off work."

"Ah?" Zhong Rong was stunned, "But I still have to help?"

"The person who made the appointment said that there is no need for a big venue, so they just have a small gathering," Boss Liu waved his hand, "You are in the way, go home quickly."

Zhong Rong was obedient, ran all the way to the station, and sent a voice message to Alai at the same time: "Do you remember the mission we met? The maze competition, the top three are rewarded with future coins and special props. That is my first This mission, going to the arena to compete for rankings, matches the "first memory" in the divination. Moreover, I was helped by you and another contestant in that mission. Isn't this "the enemy shakes hands with the enemy to make peace" ?"

Alai replied almost instantly: "Damn! That's right! How did you think of it? Genius! Hey, wait, what is the 'existence of things that don't exist'?"

Zhong Rong suddenly got stuck: "This..."

The bus came quickly and arrived at the station very quickly. When Zhong Rong got off the bus, Alai was ready to go online: "Forget it, go online first, it's too much effort to talk like this."

Zhong Rong put down his phone and ran to the gate of the community in a few steps.On weekdays, before school and off-duty time, there was no one in the yard, Zhong Rong ran all the way, took the empty elevator to the destination, took advantage of Zhong Shuangen and Shuiyun not coming back, hurried into the room, and hurriedly took off his sweaty T-shirt , into the game room.

Zhong Rong walked quickly to Alai behind the workbench: "Have you thought of anything?"

Alai is thinking hard: "The order is also very important, right? Let's talk about the enemy first, and then the non-existent thing, let you find these two from the first memory. What did you encounter after you met me and that buddy? Is there something that doesn't exist?"

Zhong Rong frowned: "How can something that doesn't exist exist?"

"That's right!" Alai sighed and held his forehead, "That's the problem, I can't think of anything that doesn't exist and exists at the same time."

"This thing must be very common, the kind that won't make people feel strange," Zhong Rong thought about it, "What is it?"

Alai shook his head, and suddenly thought of something: "Ask [-], hasn't he been thinking about it these days? He also has a partner with abnormal information collection skills. He might have thought of something."

Zhong Rong opened it to check: "[-] is not online."

"Then think about it carefully," Alai withdrew his chair and kicked the chair beside him to Zhong Rong. "Just start thinking about that arena mission. Come on Wuzhong, you have to think about everything."

Zhong Rong sat down and made eye contact with Alai: "That was three years ago, I may not be able to remember everything."

"It's okay," Alai picked up the keyboard, "say whatever comes to your mind, I'll write down all the key points, and if you look at it again, you might be able to remember more. At worst, let's find out from what you can recall. There's definitely something to be found."

Zhong Rong let out a sigh of relief: "Okay. Let me think about it. The first time I took a mission, it was the competitive mission issued by the official Feichu. A prop reward, but the props have not been announced, I only know mine. I took the third, 100 and a small bottle containing three drops of 'Creation Spring'."

"Do you know who the first and second are?"

"I don't know who the second is or what prize he won, but I have contact with him," Zhong Rong changed his sitting position, "Before I met you—before the last difficulty, I almost died. It was the level of the maze cliff, on the cliff, he pulled me up, and killed a bunch of contestants with me along the way."

Alai tilted his head in doubt: "Why is he helping you?"

Zhong Rong shook his head: "I don't know. He didn't kill me after helping me, maybe he just liked me?"

"The pass on the cliff is full of white mist, you can't even see your face, how can you be pleasing to your eyes?"

Zhong Rong also thought about it: "That may be because he was idle. But then I went back and gave the favor."

"How did you pay it back?"

"In the end we met at the center of the maze, and we almost reached the center destination together," Zhong Rong looked at Alai, "I let him go first, so he is second."

Alai heard the truth for the first time, and his eyes stared like copper bells: "Then you don't tell me, secondly, you let go, I thought it was because the weapons I gave you were not good enough to make you lag behind others !"

"Just right," Zhong Rong shrugged, "The upgraded knuckle knives and cuff guns are better."

"At that time, how could you point to a tiger's sharp blade?" Alai recalled the past. "At that time, it was a saber with a finger on a tiger, and the cuff gun was too heavy. It was like a gun."

"Indeed, no," Zhong Rong reacted, "Going off topic, let's continue talking about the previous thing."

Alai asked: "What is the thing that exists and does not exist? Maybe the second person knows. Did you see his face clearly?"

Zhong Rong shook his head.

Alai didn't understand: "There should be no fog in the last level, right?"

"No," Zhong Rong answered honestly, "but he is wearing a gas mask."

"what?"

"After he helped me, we parted ways. The other path he took may be poisonous. Besides, he turned his back to me almost all the way in the last level. There was not much light there, and I couldn't see anything clearly."

Alai said in distress: "That's a bit difficult. Is [-] online?"

"No."

"You don't even look at it!"

"I set his online reminder," Zhong Rong said helplessly, "Why do you miss him so much?"

"I'm thinking about his partner!" Alai collapsed into the chair, "If only I had such a strong ability to collect information, I probably know what those three props are by now."

"Do you think there are non-existent things in those three props?"

"Maybe," Alai blinked, "maybe one of the three props is something that doesn't exist."

"You said it would be my Creation Spring?" Zhong Rong turned his head and asked.

"You put it this way..." Alai sat up, "This water does not exist in reality, but it exists in the game."

Zhong Rong frowned: "That's not right. According to this statement, there are too many things in the flying switch that don't exist in reality. My skateboard can even break open gems."

"Is that something that doesn't exist in the real world?"

"That's a bit much, right?" Zhong Rong denied again, "And it doesn't exist in the game, how do you use it to open rubies?"

Alai fell back decadently: "I don't know anymore."

"Is there something that exists and does not exist in the game?" Zhong Rong asked while thinking.

No one answered him, and the studio fell silent.

Zhong Rong's scalp hurt from thinking about it, but he didn't think of a reason.He took a deep breath, stood up, and decided to go out for a walk, maybe he would have new ideas if he walked around more.Alai slumped in the chair and shouted at him loudly: "After [-] is online, get some information from him, especially his partner, and then tell me, don't forget!"

Zhong Rong waved at him and teleported to the street in any area.He stepped on the skateboard and slid slowly across the spacious street.There are already many people on the street, and some of them have noticed his skateboard and looked over one after another.Zhong Rong let out an impatient "tsk", accelerated abruptly, turned left and right to leave the crowded street, entered an alley, rushed along the wall to the roof, then rushed to a higher roof, and finally came to this area. On the roof of the tallest building in the area, he slowly slowed down, sat on the skateboard with his legs curled up, and stared blankly while holding his chin.

He hadn't recalled it for a long time, and he almost forgot the original mission.

The old-fashioned level setting, but the level setting is very novel.As a rookie who just played the game, he took on such a difficult task when he first came up. In just three days of competition, he brushed shoulders with death several times.Most are luck, and a few rely on his own talent.He watched others fight and learned slowly, like a sponge, but he learned a lot of difficult fighting moves and routines in one day.

But one and a half days of study was still not enough. He almost fell down on the second level, the winding road on the cliff of the labyrinth.

The three-dimensional maze was built according to the high mountains, filled with mist, and the road was difficult to figure out, and Zhong Rong happened to bump into a group of small groups sent by a certain gang.Zhong Rong had seen them before, and also seen how they made other contestants lose their numbers in seconds.

Zhong Rong barely resisted a few times, and the rain cloud suddenly appeared out of thin air, becoming a huge obstacle together with the fog.Zhong Rong gritted his teeth and didn't want to back down, so he fought back and fought back one gang member, but was forced to the edge of the cliff by the remaining ones.

He almost stepped on the ground, and quickly stabilized his center of gravity and moved back, looking at the bottom of the bottomless cliff behind his feet.He had no choice but to stand in front of him with a long knife snatched from a pile of data wreckage, and tensed his back towards the group of gangsters.

The pitiful gold coin rolled down the cliff, and Zhong Rong held onto the edge of the cliff tightly. When he saw the gang members with guns walking towards him, he suddenly felt a sense of despair.

Forget it, he thought.After selling the account, I stopped playing and resold the game warehouse directly. The [-] yuan machine can be sold second-hand for a lot of money, and it can be used for my mother's medical expenses for a while.

The rain crackled and fell, hitting him like iron.He let out a breath, and just as he was about to resign himself to his fate and let go of his hand to fall, he found that the body of a certain gang member above his head froze, and then exploded into a pile of data remains.He managed to dodge the gold coins that were thrown at him, and was blinded by the rain, but he still looked up.

A hand reached out and grabbed Zhong Rong's wrist, his heart tightened, and before he could resist, he was pulled up and crashed into the man's arms.

The fog was too heavy, and the man pushed him away too quickly, Zhong Rong only had time to catch a smear of silver dust, and then the knife in his hand was taken by the man's weapon—a long knife with a special pattern and a cold silver light. Push it aside.Zhong Rong was taken aback, and realized that he was explaining the enemy's direction to himself.

"Listen if you don't see it." He instructed Zhong Rong, and he had rushed out at the same time. After a while, there were gang members' screams and the sound of explosion when the account was cancelled.

That was Zhong Rong's first time fighting side by side with humans.The rain hit him, surrounded by mist, and he walked forward with countless gold coins.

His blood was boiling, and he had already cleared the level after he got down safely, left the maze cliff, and came to the fork in the road that was still surrounded by residual fog.Further on, there are twelve roads leading to different entrances to the final level.He looked around, and just as he was about to thank that person, he realized that the person had left without knowing which way to go.

After a long time, Zhong Rong couldn't remember the specific pattern on the long knife, or whether the silver dust came from the man's eyes, but the ignited blood in his body never dissipated.

He lay on the skateboard and looked up at the sky, remembering the feeling of rain hitting his head and face.Suddenly, a reminder popped up, and he raised his hand to check.

【Your friend "[-]" is online】.

The chat history was shocked, [-] had already sent a message.

[-]: Where are you?
