1/2 Nightmare [Unlimited]

[Loading, five, four, three, two, one...loading complete]

[Congratulations to player Qi Lu, the completion rate of the side mission [Secret of the Foundation] is 148%! ! ! 】

[Among them, the [Death of Liu Zheng] behind the foundation is all the deciphered content of this branch line [Secret of the Foundation], and your exploration progress is 98%]

[The additional 50% is due to your cognitive category of "steps" - steps are a symbol of status, old men in ragged clothes symbolize poverty, poverty cannot cross class, but students in ivory towers can become class A bridge that allows poor old people to cross classes and learn the truth about the death of their son]

[Explore more than 80% of the plot, you can get all the points rewards of the branch line.In addition, other points will be expanded in detail after settlement]

Hearing the explanation of the system prompt, Qi Lu looked at 076: "This is... There are additional questions here?"

"Almost." 076 briefly explained to him: "The copy of the game is not a simple rote, and the completion of the task not only includes all the decrypted truths, but also some other behind-the-scenes metaphors."

"Why is that?" Qi Lu was puzzled.

From the beginning to the end of this game, there is a blunt and cold flow of deciphering, and now I suddenly learned that showing human touch can also add points.It's really incomprehensible.

"It's related to the main god of the game." 076 only answered briefly, without taking the initiative to explain in detail why.

Realizing that 076 didn't want to continue this topic, Qi Lu didn't ask any more.

He continued to listen to the system beep.

[If the completion of the branch line reaches more than 80%, the settlement of the branch line can be opened.After opening branch settlement, the player will get all the information of the branch.May I ask the player Qi Lu, do you want to start the branch settlement immediately? 】

[tips: When the side task is settled, it does not occupy all the time and can be done at any time]

It was also the first time to meet the branch line, Qi Lu had no experience, he looked at 076 again: "Should I start the settlement now?"

"Yes." 076 said: "The branch line is a branch of the main line. Going through the secret flow and knowing some information completely may help the exploration of the main line."

Qi Lu understood.

The branch line is essentially a derivative development of a certain plot point in the main task, but when the player explores the progress of the branch line in the third person, it is impossible to explore every aspect of the branch line plot to a complete extent.

Therefore, the game adopts the method of [Branch settlement], when the player's exploration degree of the branch reaches 80%, he can know all the plots of the branch.

In this way, it is equivalent to that the branch line is a very appropriate step, making it easier for players to step on this step to understand the main plot.

Thinking of this, Qi Lu no longer hesitated, and replied directly: "Open the branch settlement immediately."

【receive】

[Sub-line [Secret of the Foundation] settlement is open, settlement loading... Five, four, three, two, one, settlement completed! 】

Just as the system prompt sounded, suddenly, a burst of unusually strong light shrouded it, making people blinded.

After a while, the light dimmed.

Qi Lu is still surrounded by 076.They were next to a construction site, the dust was flying, and there was the rumbling sound of machinery operating, mixed with the sounds of workers calling and scolding each other.

Here, it should be the construction site when the library was first established.

Qi Lu and 076 are like two bystanders, wind and sand, reinforced steel plates, machines, workers coming and going... in front of their eyes, there are three-dimensional projection pictures.

They can see and hear, but they cannot touch or feel.

This is the game's way of telling them [Secrets of the Foundation].

Immediately afterwards, two young and clean boys stood side by side on the construction site.They wear hard hats, hold drawings and measuring tools, and start pointing around.

The game has been blurred, they can't see the face, they can only argue based on the figure.

These two clean boys are slender and can't compete with the workers' stalwarts.Therefore, it stands out from the crowd.

They are Yang Huaqing and Liu Zheng.

The screen changed again, and a man in a suit came over, handed them a contract, and stretched out a finger with his left hand: "This quota will come from the two of you."

Yang Huaqing and Liu Zheng looked at each other, as if they were discussing or competing.Obviously, this quota is very attractive to both of them.

Yang Huaqing and Liu Zheng started a simple small-scale introspection. Today Yang Huaqing studied until the early morning, and tomorrow Liu was still reading at the construction site... Although the paper was very good, they still seemed to be very peaceful, and they were all in an ordinary competitive relationship.

Then, the simple design of the foundation of the library was successful. Teachers Yang Huaqing and Liu Zheng were in a good mood, and they specially organized a dinner party. On the one hand, they celebrated the foundation construction of the library. care of their own students.

Everyone is drinking very high.

The scene changed again, Liu Zheng was drunk like mud, Yang Huaqing put his hand on his neck, half supported, and walked to the construction site step by step.

The university was very quiet in the middle of the night, and the construction site was powered by the university's power supply. It was a break time, and Yang Huaqing passed a stationary cement sand mixer.

Maybe because both of them were very drunk, Yang Huaqing didn't take any further action, and just stayed where he was with Liu Zheng.They half-lyed on the construction site and fell asleep directly.

On the second day, people still came to work early, and the workers turned on the mixer as usual, picked up the iron and prepared to mix the sand and gravel.

"what--!!"

A loud scream came from the mouth of the mixer, and the worker hurried over to look, only to see the mouth of the mixer, where scarlet blood was everywhere, sticky and clinging to the inner wall of the machine, which was extremely glaring.

The sound of the machine's operation continued to resound, creaking and creaking—like a devouring and chewing monster, enjoying the delicious food it just got.

Liu Zheng was caught in the cement sand mixer.

Everyone was surprised by this accident.

Yang Huaqing was the most obvious. He stood at the mouth of the blender, his face was pale, and he seemed to have been frightened.

He began to explain incoherently: "Last night, last night, both Liu Zheng and I were too drunk, we were both too drunk, and no one could tell the right way... I really, not me, really not me! He He's my best buddy!!"

But saying that doesn't seem to help.

A homicide occurred and the police were involved in the investigation.Yang Huaqing's condition was not good, and he was stunned every day, as if the death of his brother Liu Zheng had an almost devastating impact on him.

But the construction period could not be delayed, and their teacher had no choice but to take the initiative to help the police investigate. In the end, Liu Zheng's judgment was an accident.

The foundation of the library was successfully built, but it was much higher than expected.

The foreman of the construction team said that because of the student Liu Zheng, they had to raise the foundation a little higher to suppress the bad luck.

Later, in the graduation season, the construction of the library was very successful. As one of the participants, Yang Huaqing was honored.He was interviewed by the school and was included in the archives.

Their teacher applied to the school and chose to be a librarian here.

……

The plot ends here, and Qi Lu has never liked to express his views on these seemingly unreasonable things that have indeed happened.

What the plot presented was more like a perfect accidental coincidence.How could Liu Zheng and Yang Huaqing be notified by the same offer by such a coincidence?Why did they all happen to pass by the construction site after having dinner and getting drunk?

And Yang Huaqing, after Liu Zheng's death, he acted so numb and sluggish, was he really the one who intentionally killed Liu Zheng?

Qi Lu suddenly thought that in the archives room of the library, Yang Huaqing had mentioned in his personal interview——

[Q: In this practical activity, who do you think has the greatest influence on you? 】

[A: My good friend, Liu Zheng. 】

Obviously, Yang Huaqing's interview materials are exactly the same core display as what they saw in the plot——

Liu Zheng's death was an accident. Yang Huaqing had a good relationship with Liu Zheng and would not harm him.

All the plot prompts believe that Yang Huaqing and Liu are a pair of good friends.

Qi Lu continued to discuss with 076: "According to the content of the plot and the interview materials in the archives, Liu Zheng and Yang Huaqing might really be good friends, and Liu Zheng's death might really be just an accident. "

After Qi Lu finished his analysis, 076 didn't answer immediately.

He lowered his head, and the broken hair in front of his forehead was like a shadow, covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his emotions clearly.

076 is deep in thought, Qi Lu only needs to take a look to understand.Qi Lu stopped bothering.

After a while, 076 calmly replied: "Well, but the plot is vague in some aspects."

"It doesn't affect the overall recognition and reading." Qi Lu explained, and continued to talk about his understanding of the plot: "Liu died unexpectedly, but Yang Huaqing was present, Yang Huaqing was guilty or afraid, it is possible. The current librarian is Liu The former teacher chose to apply to stay in the library, which is also very consistent with the statement that he is guilty."

"Let's have a look again?" After listening to Qi Lu's analysis, 076 did not agree.

After a while, 076 responded and reminded: "The plots given to you by the game do not contain artificial emotions. You can try it out, treat this accident as something that can happen, and figure out any character."

"...Huh?" Qi Lu was puzzled.

076 didn't mention anything clearly in these words, Qi Lu was so distracted that he didn't understand.

But in the end they are one person, what Qi Lu can be sure of is that 076 will not harm him, there must be his own reasons for what he said.

Ding--

A sharp voice sounded from his wrist, Qi Lu lowered his head, the [Stop] on his wrist had reached the expiration date, and the system notification sounded again during this final time.

[Congratulations to player Qi Lu, you have completely completed the side mission [Secret of the Foundation]]
