Physical persuasion, scientific transcendence [unlimited]

Wen Youning immediately went forward, blocked the landlord's view with himself, and stuffed two apples into the landlord's hand.

"Good evening!" Wen Youning greeted with a slightly raised voice on purpose.

He intentionally expressed his emotions a little excited, and by the action of stuffing apples to the landlord, he showed the posture of rejecting all kinds of local products from the fellow villagers, and directly pushed the apples and the landlord into the room without rejection. .

At the same time, by stepping on the shoe-shine doormat and walking towards the landlord's house, he quietly kicked those cinder-like jelly balls behind the wall outside the door frame.

The young man standing next to him also saw the opportunity quickly.

While Wen Youning pushed the landlord into the house and blocked the landlord's view with the door frame, the young man immediately bent down and picked up those strange things.

The moment his fingers touched those cinder jellies, he received a system prompt from [Thriller Live].

[System prompt: Obtained "some kind of unknown debris", and the effect of using it is unknown. 】

The young man's movements did not stop at all, but because the clothes he was wearing were relatively light, the T-shirt had no pockets or places to put things in, and the cinder-like jelly stuffed in his trouser pockets was too soft to be crushed. It can only be held in hand for the time being.

Seeing this, Song Lingdi immediately put the waste mop stick in her hand back to its original position, then rolled up Wen Youning's suit jacket, put it together into a simple cloth pocket shape, and stretched out her hand towards the young man.

Suddenly, the young man came to a sudden realization, and hurriedly hid the cinder jelly balls in Wen Youning's suit jacket, and while Song Lingdi was holding the clothes, he rolled up the sleeves of the clothes a little more to prevent the contents from falling out .

Wen Youning opened the way ahead, Zhao Min followed closely to help cover it, and Zhao Lingdi and the young man at the back collected this strange "some kind of unknown debris" before walking into the house one by one.

The landlord's residence is on the upper two floors of the group rental house, which obviously has exactly the same house layout, but without the extra partitions of the group rental house, the view of the house looks significantly wider and more comfortable.

Because Wen Youning and the others had previously agreed that they would come to pay the rent in the evening, and just now they stuffed two apples. Although it was not worth much, the landlord's expression eased a lot.

However, she still emphasized: "It's time to pay the rent, and I can't ask for mercy."

While speaking, the landlord's eyes subconsciously looked in Song Lingdi's direction, and then retracted his eyes unnaturally.

Song Lingdi's heart skipped a beat, and her movements of holding something froze slightly.

Wen Youning nodded immediately, "Yes, we understand the truth, just don't worry."

Moreover, Wen Youning directly paid the 800 yuan rent for the four of them to the landlord. However, he did not leave in a hurry, but continued to stand there and chat with the landlord in a friendly manner.

The landlord's attention was always attracted by Wen Youning who was chatting, but he couldn't help but look in Song Lingdi's direction several times.

Wen Youning naturally noticed this too, but acted as if he hadn't seen it, and continued to distract the landlord's attention, creating opportunities for his teammates to observe the environment of the landlord's residence.

After a while, the landlord was obviously chatting with Wen Youning all the time, but her spirit obviously began to become a little distracted.

From the eyes of the landlord, one can vaguely feel that her physical condition seems to be gradually becoming unwell.

That weird sense of anxiety was directly revealed, the landlord was distracted again and again during the conversation with Wen Youning, and even subconsciously repeatedly grasped his fingers, making movements similar to wild animals.

Wen Youning was slightly taken aback, worried that there would be new accidents if it dragged on, so he immediately ended the topic, took his leave and left without hesitation.

After turning around, Wen Youning gave Song Lingdi a look and told her to go to the front, and the other three big men followed behind, forcibly blocking all the landlord's sight.

The landlord vaguely said that he was going to send Wen Youning and the others off, and followed a few steps anxiously.

After Wen Youning waited for the three teammates to come out of the house, they immediately closed the door behind them without hesitation, blocking the landlord's movement.

The door panel even almost hit the face of the landlord who was trying to lean forward.

Several people walked down the first floor quickly, but they didn't return to the group rental house immediately, but stood still in the corridor, and looked at each other with suspicion and concern.

Song Lingdi had been enduring the landlord's more and more eager gaze just now, so she was naturally aware of the weirdness of the situation just now.

She said with some uncertainty, "What happened to that landlord just now?"

Wen Youning looked at the suit jacket that Song Lingdi had been holding in his arms to shield his hands. If he realized something, he still asked Song Lingdi first: "How is your energy now?"

Song Lingdi nodded slightly, indicating that she was fine, and said at the same time: "My mental value is still 35, and it hasn't dropped. When I was attacking that monster on the doormat, my mental value suddenly dropped to 30, and then recovered by myself. 5 o'clock."

Wen Youning was slightly taken aback, and guessed: "Maybe it's because getting close to monsters will lower your mental value, but will destroying monsters replenish your mental value?"

Then, he asked again, "The few pieces you just picked up?"

Song Lingdi raised his hand, "It's all inside."

The young man also said: "When I just picked it up, the system reminded me that I got 'some kind of unknown debris', but the effect of using it is unknown."

Wen Youning pondered: "Actually, it's equivalent to being dropped by a monster."

Immediately, he recalled the incident where each of them encountered a phantom before meeting up with the other three teammates after being pulled into this live broadcast scene.

Wen Youning: "The four changelings didn't drop anything, did they?"

The young man who cleaned up the two Mirages immediately shook his head and said, "It didn't fall, and even their corpses that returned to their original shape disappeared with the scene refresh."

Wen Youning showed a thoughtful expression, "The three of us didn't see the monster on the doormat just now, and the biggest difference between us and Xiao Song is that Xiao Song's spiritual value has always been below 50, Can see hallucinations."

Song Lingdi's face turned pale. Although she was extremely heroic when she swung the mop stick to beat the snake-like monster just now, she still shuddered when she thought of the twisted and weird appearance of those monsters.

Song Lingdi: "It should be because of the visualization of hallucinations. My mental value is not lower than 15, so those monsters are just smiling at me, but they are not actively attacking."

Wen Youning pondered for a moment. He always felt that there were still some hidden conditions in the matter of hallucinating monsters and taking the initiative to attack.

After thinking about it, Wen Youning raised his head, and cautiously confirmed with Song Lingdi: "Are you feeling better now?"

Song Lingdi nodded, and asked very understandingly: "What do you need me to do?"

Wen Youning: "Let's go back upstairs, at the landlord's door, to see if there are any hallucinatory monsters. Don't do anything this time, let us fight."

Song Lingdi was a little worried: "But you can't see those monsters at all..."

She hesitated for a moment, "Besides, when I hit those snake-like monsters with a mop stick just now, they didn't just stay where they were and were beaten, but also attacked me instead. .”

Zhao Min was startled and exclaimed in a low voice, "What!?"

The three of them could only see Song Lingdi's movements just now, but they couldn't see the hallucinatory monsters. Naturally, they didn't know that when Song Lingdi just waved the mop stick, the scene was actually very thrilling.

Thanks to this girl who grew up in the village, she is better at living in the mountains and fields than the people in the city. She also has the experience of being attacked by snakes. She knows that when dealing with snakes, she should use long-handled weapons to prevent being attacked by snakes. Bite, and know how to protect yourself...

Wen Youning pointed to the suit jacket that Song Lingdi had been holding in his hand, and the few dropped things were still tightly wrapped inside.

He whispered meaningfully: "We can't see the hallucination monster in the state of low mental value, but we can pick up the items dropped by the hallucination monster. So, I think, even if we can't see them, but, They still exist, not mere hallucinations."

Song Lingdi was slightly taken aback, looked down at her pitch-black nails, and suddenly realized: "It's not a simple illusion... That's right! My hand, and the monster just now, don't just look like this, they themselves It's changed too!"

Song Lingdi even suddenly recalled that when she leaned on the wall and got up, her fingers scratched a deep line in the wall.

——If the mutation in her hand is just a pure illusion, then the objectively existing scratches on the wall cannot be explained at all!

The young man also added: "There is also the change of the landlord just now, she must have been staring at the things in Xiao Song's hand!"

Wen Youning nodded, "She is attracted by the things dropped by those hallucinatory monsters, and she just became more and more anxious and urgent, do you think that she is actually being attracted by—"

After a pause, Wen Youning found a more suitable word, and added: "Assimilation? While being attracted by the residue or debris dropped by the hallucination monster, she gradually lost her human reason and characteristics. In the end, maybe It was mutagenized and assimilated into a new monster."

Zhao Min shivered suddenly, and said in a low voice: "There is at least one floor between us and the landlord, and later in the group rented house, will the other tenants also be killed by this 'unknown broken house'?" crumbs' attracted..."

Song Lingdi's already pale face became even more ugly.

Wen Youning's expression was still calm, he calmly and cautiously asked Song Lingdi again: "You have been holding those 'unknown debris' just now, has there been any impact or change in your body?"

Song Lingdi subconsciously checked the three values ​​in her personal information, then shook her head, "No change, I don't feel anything wrong."

The young man also said: "The four of us are actually next to each other, so we shouldn't feel anything?"

Zhao Min nodded, "Indeed..."

Wen Youning turned around and walked upstairs again.

The other three teammates glanced at each other, and naturally followed immediately.

Wen Youning explained softly while walking: "The system prompts that the effect of those 'unknown debris' is unknown, and I took a look, and it hasn't appeared in the illustrated book yet."

The young man is a frequent visitor to the game, and Song Lingdi is more directly a member of the game company. Hearing this, it suddenly dawned on him, and he spoke in a low voice almost at the same time.

Young man: "Is it because we haven't figured out the usefulness of this thing, so we didn't put it in the illustrated book?"

Song Lingdi: "The game illustrated book generally has a brief introduction to the monsters, and the part about the phantoms introduces the characteristics of the phantoms."

While talking, they had already walked to the corridor on the floor where the landlord was.

Only this time, they were not close to the door.

Wen Youning looked at Song Lingdi.

Before he could ask, Song Lingdi shook his head and said, "What I see now is a normal doormat, and there are no monsters."

Having said that, the young man still walked over, bent down, and turned over the doormat, with the pattern and the direction facing down to cover it, "It's all right now."

Wen Youning blinked her eyes, "Do we have to wait for a new hallucination?"

After thinking for a while, Wen Youning said directly: "Let's go back to the group rental house first and see what's going on over there."

Zhao Min suddenly asked a very meaningful question: "Which one is the bed for the four of us?"

Wen Youning fell silent all of a sudden: "..."

By his standards, none of those beds would allow him to lie down comfortably.

Wen Youning is actually not a hypocritical person. When he was working in the past, he encountered any special situations.

Not to mention that he just likes to be clean, even if he is a true cleanliness, he will still be covered in water and mud during the summer rainy season, and if he does, he has to endure it.

But entering the [Thriller Live] scene is different.

It's normal for one to be responsible for one's own choices, but it's too much to be responsible for others' persecution.

At this time, Song Lingdi reminded in a low voice: "My bed should be easy to find, as long as I find the one with women's clothes and supplies, it will probably be fine. However, the three of you don't need to worry too much, the next person should be almost all Just come back and see which bed is vacant then."

And to be honest, given the overall conditions of the beds in the group rental house, it doesn't matter even if the three big men get their positions mixed up.As long as they don't mind it themselves.

The young man stole a glance at Wen Youning.

Looking at Wen Youning's current expression, he was listless and listless, it made people feel distressed.

·

In the conference room on the [-]th floor of the real world, Wen Youning's colleagues saw him suddenly start to look listless and tired, and they were horrified.

Chacha is sitting with ADHD, and is connecting with technical personnel from relevant departments who can provide network technical support, carefully explaining the requirements for the new live broadcast website here.

In the end, when he looked up and saw Wen Youning's appearance, he murmured in a low voice, "It's over, my brother Ning has started to enter a state of powerlessness and forced smiles."

Wait, I'm afraid I won't get mad at any time...

Thinking that he just maintained this expression and stabbed the fake "Tool Man No. [-]" without hesitation, Cha Cha couldn't help but look at Fat Brother.

Just at this time, the docking technician roughly estimated the time required for the development of the video website based on the needs raised by Chacha and ADHD, and replied: "We will probably need one or two months of development time here, and further work will be needed later. debugging--"

Director Wang who was sitting next to him directly interrupted the other person's words, "A month or two? No, you don't even have a week or two. I hope you can take the live broadcast platform as soon as possible within a day or two. The database is set up, and then the time for manually entering information data is used for functional debugging.”

The technical staff on the opposite side obviously thought that Director Wang was messing around, and flatly refused: "It's impossible, do you think you are using a ready-made open source video website to add patches?"

Director Wang's eyes lit up immediately, "I'm going to coordinate a ready-made video website for you!"

The technical staff choked back abruptly when they complained, and almost choked to death, "Huh?"

Director Wang gave a "tsk" and said, "Ah, what, you guys are going to connect with the registration database of Fenghai City's resident population information provided by the police station immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Director Wang didn't hang up the phone at all, and turned around to coordinate the ready-made video website.

Next to Director Wang, the elder brother secretary was typing on his laptop on the conference table, with dark circles the size of a panda, and his face was so pale that he had been staying up all night and working overtime for at least a week.

The eldest brother of the secretary looked at Chacha and ADHD who were still passionately connecting with the technical staff with melancholy and envious eyes.

It’s also staying up late and working overtime, why are people still full of energy, not only taking pictures of the table and arguing enthusiastically with the technicians opposite, but even discussing with each other whether to add some other small functions that may be useful to the live broadcast website.

And he himself is like a frost-beaten eggplant, working overtime so much that he has no worldly desires at all, and he even feels like he is going to faint in the next second...

The fat brother who was sitting on the side with the big secretary turned his head to look at the tired eyes of the big secretary, and asked intimately: "Why don't you close your eyes and rest for a while? I'll call you later when there is a meeting."

The eldest brother secretary shook his head a little distractedly, and turned his laptop to let the fat brother look at the content on the screen.

He has almost drawn up the relevant documents for this time, and only needs to be slightly revised.

"Fenghai City "Strike and Disposal (Thriller Live) Emergency Work Leading Group" List"

In order to strengthen our city's organization and leadership in cracking down on and dealing with the illegal mobile phone software [Thriller Live], increase the intensity of combating and disposing of "Thriller Live", actively prevent the viral spread of [Thriller Live], maintain normal social order, and protect the people For the safety of the masses, our city has set up the "Fenghai City Strike and Handle [Thriller Live] Emergency Work Leading Group" in the second conference room this morning, hereinafter referred to as the "leading group".

The list of members of the leading group is hereby notified as follows:

Team Leader: Wang Quanxue

Deputy group leader: Wen Youning

Team members: Cha Cha, Li Yifan, Zhao Pengyu, Zhan Shi, Shao Jinping...

Non-staff personnel: Li Ruian (Claims Manager of Happy Ping An Life Insurance Company)

Fat Brother quickly glanced at the document that had just been drawn up. The list was full of acquaintances present, and the last so-called non-staff member was the only one who stunned Fat Brother.

"Eh?"

As he said that, Fat Brother's eyes fell directly on the work unit and position of the non-staff personnel, and he asked in surprise: "Why is there a non-staff personnel here, and he is also a claims manager of an insurance company?"

Director Wang raised his head when he heard the voice, and said with a cheerful smile, "That's a volunteer from the city."

Volunteers who work for free and are full of motivation, come and come!It just so happens that the group work here has heavy responsibilities and is severely understaffed.

The elder brother secretary's voice was weak, and he continued to type on the keyboard to write documents while explaining weakly: "There have been a lot of accidents in the city recently, and some of them have bought personal accident insurance. It's hard to say how to define this situation now."

"Think about it, for something like [Thriller Live], is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Or is it a force majeure? The insurance company's claim settlement terms are definitely different, and the two sides will definitely have to argue for a while. Drag it.

However, seeing that more people will be in danger, the insurance company's claim manager must also be anxious..."

Cha Cha understood it all at once.

People make money and birds die for food. These are the KPIs of claims managers of insurance companies. Whether they are promoted or raised or only get the minimum salary of 1960 yuan per month depends on how the claims manager can solve the problem. up.

Cha Cha took a sip of water while quarreling with the technical staff on the table, and casually said to his colleagues: "Isn't there a joke before? A man in his 30s owed an online loan, and then, the debt collection company paid for it. Ask him to pay back the money, and find out his biological parents who have been separated for more than 30 years."

Fat Brother: "..."

After all, Director Wang is in his 50s. He usually plays chess and go online at most. He doesn't like surfing the Internet like a young man. I really haven't heard this joke.

Based on his experience, he was shocked for a moment, and couldn't help thinking: "Am I underestimating the ability of our volunteer comrade?"

After a pause, Director Wang didn't need others to give him an answer, so he just made a fist with his left hand and lightly hammered the palm of his right hand, and made up his mind: "I'll inform our volunteer, Comrade Li Ruian, to come to the meeting together !"

·

Wen Youning, who was still stuck in the [Thriller Live] scene, naturally didn't know that there were even full-time volunteers' names on the list of Fenghai City's "Emergency Work Leading Group for Strike and Disposal of 'Thriller Live'".

He lowered his eyes a little tiredly, and returned to the group rental room where they were with the three teammates.

It may be because there was only one quarrel before, but the atmosphere in the group rented room is a bit sluggish at the moment.

The middle-aged woman drooped her face, shaking her face as soon as she saw it.

The skinny middle-aged man sat beside him silently.

As for the little boy who caused all this, he was pushed by his parents in front of an extremely uncomfortable table.

The square table was so small that it couldn't even accommodate the children's papers, homework and books.

And that child was clearly facing his homework, with his back to Wen Youning and the others, but from just a back view, it could still be seen that the child looked like he was not serious about studying.

Zhao Min used to be a teacher in school, but later he resigned to do education and training on his own. He has seen all kinds of students, and he just glanced at them, then shook his head calmly.

Children who are only thirteen or fourteen years old have already been ground into foolish hob meat. Unless this child suddenly repents one day, it is basically impossible to get it back by relying on others, and it is completely useless.

Following the train of thought given by Song Lingdi just now, Wen Youning and the others quickly scanned the empty beds in the narrow and crowded group rented room.

As a result, they found two beds with curtains drawn and women's clothes vaguely piled on them.

Song Lingdi also had a difficult time.

The four of them looked at each other, never expecting that, compared to the beds in a group rented house, what was even more frustrating was that they didn't even know which bed they were in...

Zhao Min quickly went through all the system information given by [Thriller Live] before, then shook his head slightly, "There is no relevant information mentioned in it."

The pale and thin young woman with a baby who was a few months old suddenly opened the curtain on her bed a little, and looked straight at Wen Youning and the others.

Her thin lips, which were almost bloodless, suddenly opened, and the corners of her lips were deeply raised towards her ears. The voice that came out of her mouth, which were obviously ordinary words, was so eerie and strange. a feeling of.

"It's night, it's time to sleep."

For a moment, there seemed to be countless strange voices that seemed to be babbling around.

"It's night, it's time to sleep."

Song Lingdi, whose mental value had been lower than 50, changed his face for a moment, and immediately said to Wen Youning and the others in a low voice: "I, I saw that the corner of her mouth was half the size of her face, but there were no teeth in her mouth. And the tongue, as if it were empty..."

Wen Youning gave a faint "hmm".

The next second, he bent down and touched an apple from the apple bag.

Then he went straight over and stuffed the apple, which was so big that it could choke to death, into the mouth of the grinning pale woman.

Its force is so great that it directly embedded more than half of the apple deeply into the pale woman's mouth, as if holding a light bulb in its mouth, even if it bites, it cannot be spit out.

All of a sudden, even the mouth, which was grinning half the size of a face, was tightly blocked and could not make any weird sounds at all. It could only faintly let out a struggling whimper, "Woooo——"

Wen Youning, who has always been gentle, calm and friendly since reuniting with his teammates, stared coldly at the pale woman with a deformed face, and once again forced out a dirty word: "None of your business."

Haven't eaten yet, why sleep? Have you never seen contemporary young people who stay up late?

Three teammates: "..."
