flying switch

The elevator door opened completely with a "ding", and the three of them stared at the empty elevator door with breathless breath, using their respective positions to observe the limit area of ​​the viewing angle, but still failed to see anyone within this range.

It's too quiet, this place is basically a layer of space.

It stands to reason that this is the central area, [-] is the most central, and it should be the most dangerous place, but there are no people blocking the elevator door, and it seems that there is no danger on the fourth or fifth floor.

Zhong Rong stretched out his hand tentatively, blocking the elevator door. Moon and Qian Shuichong raised their guns at the same time, staring closely at Zhong Rong's hand.Just in case, Qian Shuichong stood beside Zhong Rong with a half-bent hand holding the gun, ready to catch him at all times.

"..."

Nothing happened, the elevator doors neither slammed nor jerked.

Zhong Rong drew out his gun, motioned to Qian Shuichong and quickly jumped out of the elevator.With a real feeling of stepping on the ground under his feet, Zhong Rong could clearly see the whole corridor in his field of vision.

The doors of all the rooms are tightly closed, and the lights are bright, but the house numbers have been covered by black shadows.The longer I look at it, the darker it becomes. There seems to be ink dripping from both ends of the corridor, gradually permeating the entire corridor, approaching the elevator.

Feeling dizzy suddenly, Zhong Rong staggered and fell into the embrace that appeared out of thin air.

He turned his head and saw a pair of gray-toned peach blossom eyes in the tide-like darkness, and a certain Arabic numeral flashed in his mind.The black ink faded, and those eyes blinked: "Are you all right?"

Zhong Rong stood firm in the stable and bright world again, and hurriedly left Doctor Qian's embrace: "It's all right."

It's really strange, he always feels that Dr. Qian is not like this, in his memory he should be...

memory?

Didn't he meet Dr. Qian just a few days ago?Zhong Rong thought about it carefully, but felt that his thoughts were instantly blocked, and he couldn't understand anything.

Here it is again, this feeling of deja vu exists strangely, but it disappears in an instant, which makes people feel unclear.

"Where is [-]?" Moon asked.She couldn't see details clearly, probably a side effect of being forced into a hallucination, and now she would go into a semi-blind state from time to time.

Qian Shuichong freed his attention from Zhong Rong: "The third door over there."

"The third door..." MON squinted his eyes to identify it, and touched his pocket to confirm that the device was still there, "Let's go, both of you?"

Lightning pierced the air, and a miserable cry came from behind the door of [-]: "Help! Open the door—doctor, doctor!"

It's Zheng Hai.

Zhong Rong's pupils shrank sharply, heading straight to [-].The road deformed after his footprints, and the white floor became soft, gradually engulfing Qian Shuichong and MOON's feet like a swamp.

The transparent cover was pulled up on the ground, trapping Qian Shuichong and Moon in the swamp area. At the same time, two figures gradually appeared beside Zhong Rong outside the cover—it was Qian Ru and Moon's current appearance, and they replaced the real Qian. Shui Chong and Moon.

"Tsk," Qian Shuichong quickly raised his gun to shoot at the transparent cover, "Xiao Zhong!"

"No Bell!" Moon followed up and fired, "It turns out that the danger is here. No Bell! Wait, why..."

Zhong Rong didn't look back, and quickly opened the door of [-].

"He can't hear, and there are no restrictions," Qian Shuichong watched Zhong Rong enter the ward through the unscathed transparent cover, and asked with his gun, "[-] must be more dangerous, how to get out from here?"

Moon waited quietly for two seconds, then took out the ball of paper: "The data here is the most volatile, and Alai can't do anything, we can only enter the swamp and see what happens next." She hesitated for a moment, "Or... I have a device to leave the illusion. The remote control, the two of us will definitely be able to go out with it."

"What about No Clock?" Qian Shuichong asked.

Moon sighed: "It's a bit far away, it's unlikely to take him out."

Qian Shuichong didn't speak, and Moon pursed his lips: "Wuzhong himself is still in the safe house. Now that he cancels his account and re-registers, at most it will consume some gold coins and props, and the rest will be well preserved. He will still be him when the time comes, it's just ideology. There will be small changes..."

"Is the illusion really just a part of the game?" Qian Shuichong interrupted her softly.

Moon puzzled: "What?"

"For Wu Zhong now, this is not a game," Qian Shuichong patted Moon, "You go first, I will leave with Wu Zhong, I promised him not to leave him."

"No," Moon grabbed him and said seriously, "If you die in the illusion, you will also be canceled. Are you crazy?"

"MOON," Qian Shui looked over, "it's not just a game to me, and Wuzhong is not just a teammate."

Moon was speechless, and let go of Qian Shuichong after a while: "You are sure."

"En." Qian Shuichong smiled.

Moon let out a long sigh: "I really can't help it... Well, Alai, you heard me, give me some weapons and respirators."

Qian Shuichong was taken aback for a moment: "You..."

"Tuofei's real body feeling, I knew that today would come when our team narrowly escaped several times," Moon took out several more magazines from the air, and distributed them to Qian Shuichong, "I can't go anymore either. Ah Lai is looking forward to seeing Wu Zhong, if Wu Zhong sells the number, that kid will cry to death. One or two, play the game so seriously..."

She rolled her eyes and stuffed the respirator into Qian Shuichong's mouth: "Just this time, next time this happens again, I will immediately abandon you."

Qian Shuichong nodded with a smile.

"Wu Zhong is not here, show him with a smile." Moon bit the respirator and gestured downward.

Qian Shuichong nodded, took a deep breath, and let the swamp swallow him completely.

Moon turned on the flashlight, and the two of them saw clearly the inside of the swamp.The inside of the swamp is very clear. Unlike the outside, it is completely clear water, but it is still as sticky as a swamp. The moon is illuminated by a flashlight, and every corner of the swamp can be seen clearly.Surprisingly, there is a door in the corner, the house number is also [-].

MOON question: what's going on?

Qian Shuichong shook his head and said that he didn't know either.He drew his knife and swam to the door. MOON followed behind him, and the flashlight helped him illuminate the way forward.

The door was easily opened, Qian Shui Chong rushed to the moon to signal, counted three two one silently, and pushed the door open all at once.When the bright light came up, the two of them were stabbed to close their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, everything changed.

They recovered from the shell of the illusion into the ideology in the game, standing in a strange room-sunglasses, suits, luxurious decoration style and the nameplate on the huge desk: Mr. T.

Swift gang? !

The two exchanged glances, and their guard soared.

"Illusion?" MON asked in a low voice.

"Is this true?" Qian Shuichong called out the control panel, "This is in the game."

"Have we left the illusion?" Moon frowned, "What's going on?"

Qian Shuichong looked behind: "Mirror. This may be the exit of the illusion."

"Why is the exit connected to Mr. T's office?" Moon saw Alai's continuous messages to himself, "Alai saw that our fixed point is flying, it seems that this place is really not an illusion."

Qian Shuichong reached out and touched the mirror with the tip of the knife. The mirror surface was not hard, but like an elastic cloth surface, which was sunken inward along with the tip of the knife. When the limit was reached, the knife and Qian Shuichong would bounce back with force.

"I can't go back," Qian Shuichong pushed the mirror hard with his hands, but it was bounced back again, "What if there is no clock?"

"Only by himself," Moon said with a serious face, "The way I get in is one-time, yours is a pocket watch, right?"

Qian Shuichong took out the pocket watch in his pocket: "Start walking normally."

"That won't work either." Moon took the pocket watch and fiddled with it for a few minutes, "It really won't work."

Qian Shuichong took back his pocket watch, thinking of the witch who suddenly appeared in the illusion: "There is someone who knows the way to return to the illusion."

"Who?"

"Witch," Qian Shuichong looked for the Black Cat Bar on the map, "she appeared once in the illusion."

"There's no teleportation here." Moon opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and found an ordinary black car. "Get in."

"Is Alai himself okay?"

"He has something to do." MON closed the car door, "I asked him to check to see if something went wrong."

Qian Shuichong asked, "What happened?"

"The forum has not been updated with new posts since the competition. I tried it. Posts in and out of the game can be posted, but others can't see it." MOON started the car and drove out through the French windows.The starting rope at the bottom of the car is fixed on two tall buildings.The car rushed steadily along the fiber rope, and soon reached the edge of the transmission range.

Qian Shuichong made sure that in his work, he did not "make other people's posts visible only to himself in the game": "The official will not restrict it."

"That's the problem," Moon said. "The flying switch is very free, and nothing like this has ever happened before, so let Alai check. I suspect it may be a virus implanted by someone else."

"It's really not right," Qian Shuichong agreed. "The Swift Gang is very quiet, too quiet. A car rushed out of the boss's office, and no one came to check."

Moon glanced at him: "Yes. The virus matter is probably related to the Swift Gang."

"Is the gang going to do something?" Qian Shuichong pointed the way, "Turn right ahead, it's faster."

"I don't know about the gang, but I know about the Swift Gang." Moon turned the steering wheel to the right, "something serious is going to happen."

"Pay attention to the channel for buying and selling weapons." Qian Shuichong reminded.

"Well," Moon drove down the building wall, "The Black Cat Bar is in front."

Qian Shuichong pulled out his silver gun: "Park on the roof."

"You want to go by yourself?"

"Well," Qian Shuichong opened the car door, "Pay attention to change the car and go back, don't want this car."

Moon nodded: "Don't worry."

"Apologize to Alai for me," Qian Shuichong put on his hood, "I failed to bring Wuzhong back."

"What's the rush?" MON automatically switched vehicles, sent the original black car to another road, and made a record of the route, "Let's go."

The sound of a speeding motorcycle replaced the answer, and MOON withdrew his relaxed expression, with a dignified expression, and reset the destination—the dream library.You should be able to find the answer in the safest information center of Quanfeishu.Things are too strange, it is safer to go there in person.

The task is decided here, but the door of the Black Cat Bar where the motorcycle is parked is locked.

Qian Shuichong gritted his back molars, walked towards the door, confirmed several times that the door was really not open, and let out his breath.

A letter jumped out of it and fell into his hand, with the black cat's seal on it.Indeed, Qian Shuichong looked around and unfolded the letter.

"To the brave in white:

Take it easy, I know your difficulties.Look at the pocket watch, is it starting to go?If it now looks like a regular pocket watch, you've made it.Half of the treasure is already yours, and the remaining half will appear when your friend wakes up by himself.I'm sorry, the illusion has changed, I can no longer enter, and I can no longer give you any help, but I can let the remaining power of the pocket watch help him, don't worry too much, he will wake up.

PS: I think now you probably have an understanding of the longing I mentioned earlier, I wish you a successful treasure hunt. "

There is no signature, but a red cat paw print instead.Qian Shuichong felt at ease after the arrival of this strange letter, and slowly let out a breath before realizing that he had been holding his breath just now.

He looked at the last line of the letter, focusing on the word "longing".

The feeling brought—anxious, flustered, restless, curious, happy, distressed...

Longing for...?
