Absolute Persona [Unlimited]

The angle at which the pair of chopsticks stretched out was ingenious, and Jiang Jian subconsciously bit the whole rib.

The soup is fragrant and salty, especially the aftertaste after chewing, which is memorable, and the taste buds that have been dusty in Qingluan Village for many days start working again.

The aroma attracted him to bite down.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Jiang Jian accidentally bit the chopsticks, and her teeth hit them hard.

Ah, it hurts.

"hiss--"

He flicked his eyelashes, put the whole rib in his mouth as if nothing had happened, and looked away from the window.

The glass window reflected Zhong Xun's side face, he didn't seem to notice it, and retracted his chopsticks very naturally.

Gentleman and considerate turn a blind eye, which seems to be his style.

Stratus billowed in the blue sky, blurring the reflections on the windows, and birds flitted across the cobweb-like city below.The studio center stands in the center, and the road spreads out like silk.

"Eat well, eat well, don't be in a daze."

When I came back to my senses, I didn’t know when, the bowl was piled up into hills by the food, and a broccoli flower was crumbling on the tip.

The culprit sat opposite and nodded contentedly, as if looking at a work of art.

Jiang Jian looked away, turned the chopsticks lightly, and the broccoli rolled into the bowl.

"Do you think this broccoli looks like us?" Jiang Jian said while picking the vegetables in the bowl, "Standing in a towering building, you will either fall or be swallowed by the unknown."

Zhong Xun watched Jiang Jian eat the broccoli slowly, shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily a choice between the two. People who come here are often not defeated by the external environment, but the first to be defeated." Break it yourself."

"Here, even the simplest question of 'where am I' can't be answered." Jiang Jian said, "How much is the possibility of reaching the correct destination when sailing at sea without a compass?"

Zhong Xun raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak when Jiang Jian continued, "But you may be more right."

Zhong Xun frowned slightly, nodded and listened, his eyes fell on Jiang Jian's bowl, his brows and eyes disliked Jiang Jian's destruction of the integrity of the artwork, picked up his chopsticks, and set up another broccoli flower on the hill.

"Although I have not been here for a long time, I can also understand that this is a place where the boundary between truth and falsehood is extremely unclear, and trust is the rarest of the rare." Jiang Jian said softly.

He paused, looking at Zhong Xun in front of him fine-tuning the angle of the chopsticks, trying to stabilize the broccoli on the pile of vegetables like an obsessive-compulsive disorder, he couldn't help but sink his eyes.

"You continue." Zhong Xun raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Listen."

"I feel... Knowing the fact that everyone will put on the cloak of human beings, the relationship between people will become complicated. All friendships will be questioned and tested, and all true feelings will become stingy."

If you can't trust, you can't establish a long-term cooperative relationship, and if you can't cooperate, you can only fight internally.In this way, the hope of finding the truth behind this weird studio must be slim.

A smart man doesn't need to say much, he believes that Zhong Xun can understand what he means.

Even they compromised with the so-called human design requirements only for the sake of long-term survival, and had to stand on the same front.When this relationship of interests will break down, no one knows.

Once the only trust between them is broken, the inexperienced self will definitely fall before Zhong Xun.

"Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is biological, and being stingy is an instinct born of the environment. There is nothing wrong with it. No one can be in the perspective of God, and the behavior of seeking profits in one's own eyes may sometimes lead to a dead end."

As Zhong Xun said, he slowly moved the chopsticks away, and the broccoli flower stood on the top, crumbling.

However, it just swayed and never fell.

"Here, you see, the process of surviving and reaching the end must be difficult, but this does not mean that there is no way to prevent yourself from falling and being swallowed."

Zhong Xun's tone seemed to be coaxing a child, put down his chopsticks, and stared at Jiang Jian opposite him with his chin resting on his cheek.

Today's Jiang Jian seems to have returned to the way she first met.Thin and silent, with no expression on his paralyzed face.After two mouthfuls of food, I fell into a fugue, and I don't know if the emotion I expressed was confusion, pessimism, or simple thinking.

Those words of encouragement that shouldn't have come out of my own mouth were expressed so smoothly.

Jiang Jian pointed to her own bowl, and met Zhong Xun's eyes: "This method, doesn't it mean that only the top one is the only one who survived?"

The image of Jiang Jian striking the side of his neck with a pen in Qingluan Village suddenly flashed in Zhong Xun's mind. These words and deeds were incompatible with the Jiang Jian he knew.

And it doesn't belong to the "Jiang Jian" he has been thinking about.

Thinking about it, he was more sure that the person in front of him was not that Jiang Jian, Zhong Xun suddenly felt relieved.

But what followed was unreasonable dullness, and the food in his mouth became tasteless.

Saying these words with a similar face made him feel a little annoyed.

"You can understand it as you like, who made this place a distorted and vile place built by countless rules." Zhong Xun took a deep look at Jiang Jian's unwavering eyes, and paused, "But I don't want you to be confused about the real world. Lose hope for the beauty of humanity."

Holding the bowl in her hands, Jiang Jian was silent for a moment and quietly avoided Zhong Xun's words.

He suddenly thought of his adoptive father He Minzhi.

He spent many years learning to read the expressions on people's faces and discern the emotions in their voices, but it was always difficult for him to act like an outsider.

Not only can't empathize, sometimes even the meaning is misunderstood.

At this time, He Minzhi would pat his head, point to his heart, and say to him: "Sometimes the real emotion is not on the face, not in the rhetoric, but here."

"What does that mean?" He asked He Minzhi.

"There is a word in the world called duplicity." He Minzhi said, "Some emotions cannot be seen or touched, and need to be felt with the heart."

He looked at the gradually empty plate, more than half of the dishes ordered by the two were in his bowl.

In the environment that Zhong Xun called "instinctively stingy", he met the generosity in front of him.

"Yes, I will."

He picked a piece of short ribs from the small hill in the bowl, and said calmly.

Jiang Jian's voice was soft, Zhong Xun only saw his lips move twice: "Huh? What did you say?"

"I……"

"Ouch! Brother Jane!" A vigorous voice came from behind.

Turning his head, he saw a familiar face: Bu Meng waved to him and walked over enthusiastically.

Jiang Jian glanced at Zhong Xun.The man suddenly became cold in front of outsiders, his eyes were still upturned, and he looked at him without squinting, without any intention of talking to Bu Meng.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect this to happen. I really like the sweet and sour short ribs here." Bu Meng's curly hair swayed on her shoulders, she stood still, her eyes turned between Jiang Jian and Zhong Xun Turning around, frowning slightly, leaning over and whispering in Jiang Jian's ear, "When did Zhong Xun end the game?"

"Game?" Jiang Jian glanced at Bu Meng suspiciously.

"I just passed by the game area on the 60th floor, and saw his number on the real-time leaderboard." Bu Meng blinked, "It seems to be a game that simulates stock trading."

"Say it again."

Zhong Xun's voice sounded suddenly, and Bu Meng's curly hair seemed to explode.Her teeth were chattering up and down, and she looked back at Zhong Xun stiffly: "It's just... I just saw your number on the trading game leaderboard on the 60th floor, and wanted to ask Brother Jian when you came over."

"Why do you want to ask him about me?" Zhong Xun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Jian, feeling full of oppression, "Have you finished eating?"

Jiang Jian put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth. Before getting up, she said softly to Bu Meng, "Hurry up and eat, we're leaving first."

"Ah?...Oh." Bu Meng was stunned, watching Jiang Jian and Zhong Xun disappear from sight, and muttered twice, "What temper? Am I hindering them from dating or something?"

In the corridor, only the sound of two people's footsteps could be heard, and Jiang Jian followed Zhong Xun step by step.

The moment Bu Meng opened his mouth, the two of them knew that this was something that could not be said clearly in front of her.

Song Zhi's return to the studio center was an accident that no one knew about. In order to avoid re-connecting to the database, it was temporarily recorded under Zhong Xun's field record.Such a bold act of challenging the rules was almost exposed to people he knew because of the number on the leaderboard.

Jiang Jian himself is not familiar with the situation in each area of ​​the studio center, so even if Song Zhihui entered the game with ease, he did not stop him.

He didn't realize the seriousness of this matter until now.

Walking into the elevator, he saw Zhong Xun tugging at his collar impatiently, pressing down on the 60th floor, and turning his head to look at him: "Did he ask to go?"

"He wants to exchange points for clothes." Jiang Jian lowered her eyes and said softly, "I'm sorry."

He and Zhong Xun are a community of interests, and accountability is very necessary to maintain a stable relationship. After all, no one can predict the consequences of a small negligence.

"What are you apologizing for? You are not his guardian." Zhong Xun frowned, "Here, only you can be responsible for your own choices. Do you think these games are just simple games? Once you make a mistake, you will die first." He is protecting himself."

"His life-threatening investment-type game, right?" Jiang Jian raised his hand and clicked twice on the wristband, and found that the spectator window he had shrunk in the background hadn't closed, "I checked it before, Song Zhihui's level looks quite professional... You can also see the income ranking when you watch the game, huh?"

When the elevator arrived, Jiang Jian stopped on the spot as soon as he stepped out.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Xun turned around.

"It's very strange. When I opened it just now, I saw that he was ranked first, and the next second he dropped ten places." Jiang Jian walked quickly to the door Song Zhihui entered from memory, and at the same time kept his eyes on the spectator interface. Browsing, "Dropping another ten places..."

"Heh." Zhong Xun sneered, and looked at his wristband, "This brat had better think of a way to die and tell me. I just received a notification telling me that the points settlement is negative."

"how come?"

"Where do you think the principal comes from for the simulated investment?" Zhong Xun took a deep breath, "All consumption and transactions in the studio center must first be exchanged for currency with the personal account points that the recorder is responsible for keeping. Raw points from time to come!"

Jiang Jian seemed to see the murderous aura surrounding Zhong Xun: "In other words, he lost all your points."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the last words he said to Song Zhifan before he and Song Zhifan separated.

——Be careful not to lose all your underpants, and let Zhong Xun pick you up later.

Even if he co-authored Song Zhihui to pay for his death, he would lose with Zhong Xun's underpants!

Jiang Jian glanced at Zhong Xun sympathetically, and eagerly wanted to pull Song Zhihui out of the game room, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace.Just after walking a few steps, they suddenly saw a group of people walking towards them in front of them.

"Is that number 009 Zhong Xun?"

"It should be. Everyone should know about his drop from No. 1 to No. 9, right? But it's strange, I've never seen him on this floor before."

"And you lost all your money, is that reasonable?"

Jiang Jian frowned, turned her head, and lowered her voice: "Can't they see you?"

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly dragged to the corner of the corridor by a force.

When he came back to his senses, Zhong Xun bent down slightly, covered the heads of the two with his jacket, and put his hands on the side of Jiang Jian's face.

"Shhh - don't move."

Zhong Xun's voice came close to Jiang Jian's hair, and Jiang Jian's head was itchy.

"Is the boss's actions predictable? Maybe everyone has a reason to lose!"

"Wow, do you admire Zhong Xun so much? How do I remember that you didn't even dare to look at Zhong Xun in the hall that day?"

"I know, he and Zhong Xun were on a show, but Zhong Xun's eyes frightened him into PTSD...Did you guys see the two people flirting around the corner just now? It's too hot, damn it!"

"..."

The group of people passed by them, and their voices became clearer and clearer.

Jiang Jian listened with pricked ears, and whispered after the person left: "What did you do to scare people like that?"

"Who still remembers this?" Zhong Xun rolled his eyes, propping the wall with one hand and carrying his coat with the other, "The winner of the game can convert all the proceeds into points and take away, and the loser has to face punishment. If He used my account and the punishment may fall on me in the end."

Jiang Jian glanced at the game spectator record again.

"No, this data is not normal—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the mechanical voice of his own record in his mind: "Five, four, three, two, one."

Looking up again, the surrounding scenes have all changed!

There is a soft mattress under the body, and a wooden board in front of the eyes.Jiang Jian turned sideways, and what caught his eyes was Zhong Xun's tall nose, eyes closed, lying on his side beside him.

"...?"

"!!!"

Since he came to this ghost place, no one has slept peacefully.Lying beside him was either Zhong Xun, or a strange corpse.

May I ask when will he be able to realize the freedom to enjoy a bed to himself?

Jiang Jian raised her foot and kicked Zhong Xun down.

"Hiss..." The man slowly got up from the ground, rubbed his unruly silver hair, lay cynically on the side of the bed, and sat cross-legged on the ground, "Did you just want to kick me like this in Qingluan Village?"

Jiang Jian looked away guiltily, and looked around the unfamiliar place: "Where is this?"

"If you guessed right, it's in the show." Zhong Xun stretched his waist and stood up, "There is no hint in the scene record, no introduction to the show, and the guests who joined the show on the basis of zero information, there is a high probability that Song Zhihui will lose me Punishment of assets. But why did you come in together?"

Jiang Jian shrugged, expressing that she didn't know.

Adhering to the ancient oriental wisdom of "everything comes", he got out of bed, lifted the quilt and looked at it: "The upper and lower bunks, there is also a simulation paper for the college entrance examination. This time the program should be in school."

"Tsk." Zhong Xun's playful laughter came from behind, "It's been a long time since I lived in high school."

Jiang Jian turned around and saw that Zhong Xun found a school uniform out of nowhere, put it on calmly, took out two student ID cards with lanyards from the drawer, and threw one to Jiang Jian.

The sun shines in from the window, outlining the outline of Zhong Xun.

Jiang Jian was in a daze for a moment, the man a few steps away looked angry and unruly, as if he was a real school boy.

"Jiang Jian, call me senior."

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long, and I sincerely apologize here.And belated happy new year, happy new year's day, thank you for still waiting for me!

Gu Gu took so long mainly because three times of overtime work was more ruthless, and it was difficult to find time to code words.In October, my heart was not feeling well, so I went for a checkup.He took a rest for a while according to the doctor's advice.

In any case, your own cubs are responsible to the end. 2021 is a new beginning, thank you for waiting, and thank you for your company!
