Middle-aged Love Patch

200 Tang monks and 200 Shiyue.

Layers of stone steps are paved in Pansi Cave, and 200 Shiyue, who are dressed the same, look the same, and have the same expression, fill the stone steps.

"Shiyue?"

Xu Youyuan didn't know where to start, so she tentatively called Shi Yue's name, and all 200 Shi Yue replied in unison:

"I'm!"

The words blurted out with urgency turned into shouts in unison, and Xu Youyuan couldn't help but cover her ears again.

The 200 members of Shiyue looked at each other with distaste, and did not dare to yell at each other too loudly, so they could only warn in a low voice: "Don't imitate me!"

And the current scene turned into 200 people warning each other at the same time, Shi Yue couldn't help but rolled her eyes after she finished speaking, pointed at herself and said to Xu Youyuan very solemnly: "Xu Youyuan, trust me."

The 200 people said in unison: "I am the real Shiyue!"

"Can you stop learning how to speak from me?"

Xu Youyuan was afraid that they would fight, so she quickly stopped her and said:

"Okay, Shiyue, don't speak yet. Let me ask you, can you stand up?"

200 people said: "I can't help it, I seem to be fixed here."

When Shi Yue was talking, Xu Youyuan carefully observed the 200 people, and found that all their subtle expressions were exactly the same.

In fact, Xu Youyuan had discovered a small detail of Shiyue before, that is, when she expressed disdain or unhappiness, her right eyebrow would be raised slightly before speaking.And the 200 people in front of them were all exactly the same with such details.

"Ha ha ha ha."

A burst of arrogant laughter came from the depths of the cave, Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue looked into the depths of the cave together.

There is a huge white spider web deep in the cave, and a woman is lying lazily on her side in the spider web.The woman was exquisite in figure and delicate in appearance, and her voice echoed in the cave, charming and soul-stirring.

It's just that no matter how cute the face is, the eight scythe-like spider legs on the back are too much for people to digest, and they dare not take a second look.

Xu Youyuan saw the word "spider spirit" floating above this woman's head, it seemed that this was the one who moved Tang Seng to Pansi Cave just now.

The spider spirit laughed for a while, and after laughing, said:

"I have long heard that Sun Wukong's golden eyes can distinguish everything in the world. I want to see if his golden eyes are as powerful as the legends say. If he can't even recognize his master, then his golden eyes are nothing but a vain name. Tonight I will definitely eat the Tang monk meat."

After the spider spirit finished speaking, a system prompt appeared on the wall of the cave that Xu Youyuan was facing, and this time the prompt was a bit long.

[System prompt: That's right, your partner is among the 200 people opposite, but the remaining 199 people have the same appearance characteristics, the same personality traits, and even the same memory as your partner.

And you can't have any physical contact with your partner, you can only find her out by asking questions.

5 minutes countdown, start]

Xu Youyuan found that only she could see the reminder, and the reminder was behind and above Shiyue, and none of the 200 Shiyue looked up, which meant that Shiyue might not be able to see it.

Shi Yue noticed that her attention was diverted to other places: "What are you looking at?"

Xu Youyuan turned her gaze back, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and sat down on the ground.

It seems that this level cannot be broken by force, even if you kill the spider spirit, it may not help, so you can only follow the system's prompts to recognize Shiyue out of more than 200 people.

A red countdown appeared between Xu Youyuan and Shiyue, ticking, ticking, slowly decreasing second by second.

At this time, a number appeared above the heads of 200 Shiyue, and a number pad floating in the air appeared beside Xu Youyuan's hand.

[System prompt: Enter the number of the partner you want to talk to alone. After you confirm, the partners with other numbers will be muted.You can start a conversation with the selected partner, and the time of each conversation is less than or equal to the remaining time.

Please note that if your partner voluntarily tells her real number, or has any words or actions that imply her real number, this task will fail immediately]

Both Shi Yue and Xu Youyuan can see this system prompt.

It can be seen that Shi Yue was going to take the opportunity to reveal her real number, but was blocked by the system prompt.

"Okay Xu Youyuan." Shi Yue said, "Quickly hurry up and ask questions, I believe you can find me."

Shiyue is so confident because she didn't see the reminder that just appeared behind her. If all the Shiyues present not only look exactly the same, but also have the same memory and personality, it means that they are all real Shiyue.

This scene is actually a copy of 199 Shiyue, Xu Youyuan is quite curious about how this technology is achieved.

"Xu Youyuan?" Shiyue found that Xu Youyuan didn't seize the time to ask questions, and was still sitting on the ground thinking about something. They were a little confused, and even had a bit of confidence that they didn't know where it came from.Time is passing away bit by bit, Shi Yue couldn't help reminding her:

"Quickly ask."

"Don't worry, I'm thinking about what I should ask you, um... let's do this." Xu Youyuan didn't look at the number keyboard at all, and tapped a number on the keyboard with her dexterous fingers, and pressed the OK button, number 123, "You answer my question."

After Xu Youyuan selected No. 123, all other Shiyue turned gray, and she couldn't speak or move, as if she was temporarily offline.

On the 123rd, Shiyue looked at Xu Youyuan, ready to enter the difficult tacit understanding test with Xu Youyuan. She would never have thought that Xu Youyuan would ask her:

"What's your name?"

No. 123 Shiyue: "..."

"Quickly, answer me, what's your name."

"Xu Youyuan, are you kidding me?"

"If you don't answer, you can go back." Xu Youyuan pressed the end button, then typed a random number, number 64, Shiyue, and asked her the same question, what's your name.

On the 64th, Shiyue seemed to still retain the memory of being asked the question just now, feeling a little uncomfortable being teased, but she had no other way to resist Xu Youyuan, so she could only answer honestly:

"My name is Shi Yue."

After Xu Youyuan got this answer, she asked her even more frantically: "How old are you?"

On the 64th, Shi Yue slowly closed her eyes, as if digesting the feeling of wanting to beat up Xu Youyuan on the spot, then raised her head and said with a smile: "Auntie, I am 23 years old this year."

"it is good."

Although No. 64 Shiyue was very well-behaved and cooperative, Xu Youyuan didn't have the slightest nostalgia for her, and quickly chose to end it.

200 Shiyue: "??"

They couldn't see what kind of routine Xu Youyuan was doing now, and even the spider spirit who was lying on the side maybe just making sarcastic remarks to watch the excitement began to remind her in doubt:

"You only have 4 minutes left, are you sure you don't want to ask some nutritious and meaningful questions?"

"Shh, little spider, don't talk, just stay there."

At this time, Xu Youyuan still looked like Monkey King. When she was serious, she had a kind of majesty and a strong aura. Talking, honestly watching Xu Youyuan continue to perform.

Xu Youyuan chose No. 1 again to answer the question:

"What's your major in college?"

"Pattern recognition and intelligent systems are a branch of artificial intelligence."

"When did you return home?"

"last summer."

Xu Youyuan nodded, Shi Yue also knew about these things, she had heard from her sister, these basic facts were facts that both of them knew.

Hidden among the remaining 199 people who could not move, the real Shiyue could actually hear their conversation and see the scene.

She suddenly discovered that Xu Youyuan was laying a trap, and what this trap wanted to catch was not a loophole in the system or mission, but her—Shi Yue herself.

After Xu Youyuan finished asking some basic questions, she continued to ask the question of returning to China:

"Then why did you return to China? Is it just because the prospect of starting a business in China is better now?"

"The law and order in the country is also slightly better. In foreign countries, I hardly dare to go out at night by myself. Even if I go to some remote places in broad daylight, I need several people to accompany me. My sister and my parents don't worry..."

Xu Youyuan: "I see that you hesitate to speak, is there another reason?"

Xu Youyuan's current state is completely like interrogating a prisoner, and she is a little aggressive. On the 1st, Shiyue was inexplicably excited, and answered Xu Youyuan's words unconsciously:

"You're right, there's another reason."

"What is it?"

A layer of sweat broke out on the forehead of the real Shi Yue who was silenced.

Don't talk nonsense!Now is not the best time to understand!And even if I say it, I have to tell Xu Youyuan myself!When is it someone else's turn to help?

Shi Yue was particularly worried that No. 1, who was being questioned, would give her all her thoughts out. She managed to manage it to the present rhythm is very rare, and the relationship between the two is actually not strong at this stage. She and Xu Youyuan can both Perceived a subtle and slightly fragile tension between the two.

Now is not the best time to take a big step forward, you number 1, don't talk nonsense to me!

Shi Yue couldn't speak or move, she could only shoot a powerful murderous light wave in the depths of her mind, aiming at No. 1!

Xu Youyuan also stared at No. 1 Shiyue.

On the 1st, Shiyue thought for a while, and seemed to think of something warm, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she said:

"To make a dream come true, a dream I've been chasing for a long time."

Neither Xu Youyuan nor Shi Yue himself thought that No. 1 Shi Yue would be able to answer such an answer, and it really seemed like something Shi Yue himself would say.

To realize a dream.

Sitting on the carpet in her living room, Shi Yue's eyes were slightly moist, and No. 1 Shi Yue expressed her deepest thoughts.

Xu Youyuan didn't give any comments after getting this answer, but just lowered her head slightly, trying to hide her flushed cheeks.

In fact, she doesn't need to hide at all, because the golden hair on Sun Wukong's face can hide all emotions at this time.

Xu Youyuan randomly entered another number, number 67.

This is the real number of Joy.

Shi Yue was able to speak, but she knew she couldn't give any hints, otherwise the task would be considered a failure.

But she was still very happy, she didn't expect that Xu Youyuan would really choose her in the end.

What kind of fate is this...

Shi Yue's heart was pounding, and when everyone around her turned gray, her bright and bright self seemed to be the destined person hand-picked by Xu Youyuan!

Xu Youyuan asked: "I remember you said that you skipped grades in middle school."

"Yes." Shi Yue replied.

"But I remember you came to my house to make up lessons when you were in junior high..." Xu Youyuan looked directly at her, as if she didn't want to miss any detail on Shi Yue's face,

"Why did a talented girl who skipped a grade come to my house to make up lessons? So at that time, did you really need to make up lessons?"

This turning point hit Shi Yue's heart directly, and under Xu Youyuan's probing eyes, Shi Yue didn't panic, and even asked back:

"Can these questions you ask really help you find the real me?"

Xu Youyuan answered very quickly: "You don't have to worry about it, I naturally have my method to find the real Shiyue. But the effectiveness of this method needs to be based on your telling the truth."

Shi Yue chuckled: "Then how do you know if I'm telling the truth or a lie?"

"Well, I know." Xu Youyuan still replied very firmly, "So, you must not lie."

For the first time, Shi Yue fell into confusion about Xu Youyuan, and now she really couldn't figure out what Xu Youyuan was planning.

2 minutes and 40 seconds left.

"Do you have any questions? Brat No. 67." Xu Youyuan said, "If you have no other questions, please answer my questions obediently. Why does a genius girl who can skip a grade in a key technology class need What about my extra lessons?"

Shi Yue curled her lips and could only answer honestly:

"I asked you to make up lessons at the beginning because I was a little uncomfortable in the new environment, so my grades couldn't keep up. During the two years of making up lessons at your home, I kept up with the progress of my classmates in the first half of the year, and got the first place in the exam twice. Well, my parents are also quite satisfied. Later..." Shi Yue's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't intend to lie, "I also like to go there myself. After all, it's very effective to go to your place to make up lessons. My parents and my sister are very relieved. Besides, my parents always look at me at home, and they are not allowed to watch this or play it. It is very boring. Go get busy with other things, don't care about me, I can do something I want to do."

Xu Youyuan was really wronged: "When did I leave you alone? When did you come here and I didn't explain your homework from beginning to end? I have helped you pass all the test papers and knowledge points, okay?"

"Yes, but I already knew the knowledge points you mentioned."

Hearing the real answer, Xu Youyuan was a little bit upbeat: "You know how to feel, you just came to my house to let the wind go?"

Shi Yue smiled, and suddenly became serious: "Not entirely. Of course there are other reasons, I like the atmosphere of your house, I like... the feeling when I sit at the desk with you and do homework. But at that time you I have already gone to college, and I have nothing to talk about with this little kid. I am the only one who is struggling to write papers and memorize textbooks. Can you spend more time playing games and drawing?"

Xu Youyuan: "What's the matter? Isn't it business? These are my future careers, and I'm not being lazy."

"Okay, Xu Youyuan, don't talk about family affairs, let's see how much time is left."

"It's up to you." Xu Youyuan pointed at number 67, intending to ask the question to the end, "Let's talk about other more serious things instead of talking about homework. The question I want to ask may be suitable for young people of your age. It's a little too early to say, but I believe that you, who are smart, should have thought about it. Shiyue, what kind of life do you want?"

It really is a very serious question, and Shi Yue has indeed thought about it.

It can even be said that over the years, she has been steadily advancing towards this desired life.

"Actually, I am a very material person." Shi Yue said, "Not only material, but also very realistic. I believe that money can bring me freedom. Only if I earn enough money, have a stable residence, and have a car to save money Time flies, so that I can really devote my mind to the things and people I like. At that time, I am the real me. I don’t object to this point of view. Individuals have their own pursuit of life. It’s just that I compare Greedy, I want affection and money."

Xu Youyuan smiled and said, "When I was in my teens, there was a popular saying, 'Adults don't do multiple-choice questions, I want both'."

"Yes, I want both. So the life I want is to have a comfortable environment and a suitable lover. My lover is not only my lover, I also hope that before being a lover, first We are good friends who connect with each other, have many topics to talk about, and can fully recognize each other's values. When these two goals are achieved, we can start the mode of eating together and waiting to die.

"The ideal is beautiful, and I also want to realize this ideal when I return to China, but at this stage I have not yet achieved the ultimate goal, and I am still working hard in this direction." Shi Yue asked rhetorically,

"So, Xu Youyuan, is my answer satisfactory to you?"

Xu Youyuan was very calm, not in the rhythm of being taken away by her: "It's okay."

Only 1 minute and 30 seconds left.

"Now there is one last question." Xu Youyuan asked, "What do you think is the ultimate theme of the dark room? I don't think it's just a dating app, or a dating app. These days I play the dark room The game, I can feel its excellence, even before the start of the season, when I entered the game for the first time, I discovered that it actually contained the producer's deep understanding of the game. The purpose doesn't want to go down the third road. Shi Yue, what do you think? I want to hear your opinion on the dark room."

When Xu Youyuan raised this question, Shi Yue finally understood why she asked these questions.

I'm afraid Xu Youyuan already knew which one was the real self. Although she didn't know how she used to distinguish, Xu Youyuan did have her own judgment.

This whole set of questions was actually an excuse for her to ask the questions she wanted to ask under the pretext of doing game tasks.

And Xu Youyuan probably already guessed that Shiyue is the producer of the secret room, and guessed that NCOUNT is the company founded by Shiyue, so she asked this question.

"The purpose of the dark box was not to go down the third road. It really has nothing to do with dating. It was born in a university abroad. At that time, a senior sister told the founder for the Halloween fellowship, If you want to have a holographic APP that you can not know the real appearance of your date, it is best to add a little face-squeezing function to make this friendship more exciting. This is the birth of the dark room. Of course, the dark room has gone through several The iteration of the version, adding more functions and scenes, is quite different from the original appearance, but its purpose has not changed." Shi Yue said,

"The founder's idea is to let two strangers who meet by chance or lovers who already have a crush on each other enter the game through the dark room, and get to know each other more deeply in the dating scenes scene by scene. Facing danger and When faced with a difficult problem, you want to know how the person will respond.

"Actually, this is similar to a previous saying-before you decide to marry a person, it is best to travel alone with her. Because travel can test a person's planning ability and execution ability, and can also see the person's personality, What he likes or dislikes. And most importantly, where the money is spent can show what he values. Just a trip, everything can be clear.

"And the dark box can do more, after all, it has three major scenes, allowing users to experience many things that they would never experience in real life together, and deepen their understanding of each other.

"This was the original idea of ​​the founder of the dark box, but things backfired. The bad word-of-mouth of the APP is something the founder did not expect."

Xu Youyuan: "So that's the case, I understand."

Shi Yue looked at Xu Youyuan, wishing Xu Youyuan would tell her now, I already know that you are the real Shi Yue, the unique Shi Yue in the world.

Countdown to the last 30 seconds.

"I already have the answer." Xu Youyuan stood up and looked at Shiyue, "Now I just need you to do one thing."

Shiyue's hearts rose to their throats, wishing she could finish speaking in one breath.

There is only so little time left, it must be the last chance!

The number keyboard has also become the final confirmation keyboard. As long as Xu Youyuan enters the correct number at the last time, they will be able to successfully pass the adventure-themed qualifiers.

"You are together now..." Xu Youyuan put her hand on the confirmation keyboard, "Take off the hat on your head."

Shi Yue waited for a long time, thinking that she would make some unexpected and handsome decision, but in the end...

"Xu Youyuan! Are you kidding me!" 200 Shi Yue couldn't help scolding in unison, "If you want to see me bald, don't choose now! Don't make trouble at such a critical moment!"

Xu Youyuan covered her ears with one hand, and repeated her request very firmly:

"You all take off your hats, and if you want to win, listen to me, quick! There is no time!"

Believe in your evil...

Shi Yue had no other better way, she could only obey Xu Youyuan's words, and took off the hat with trembling hands...

200 bald heads appeared vividly in front of Xu Youyuan.

Shi Yue's bald head looks lifelike.

An uncontrollable smile gradually appeared on Xu Youyuan's originally serious but a little excited face.

"puff."

Shi Yue said angrily: "There are only seven seconds left, don't waste time, okay? Hurry up and make sure!"

At the last five seconds, the red countdown becomes bigger and bigger, and every beat will have a flashing effect, reminding the player that this is the deadline.

"Okay, Shi Yue, I found you." Xu Youyuan was very confident.

Even the spider spirit couldn't help standing up, and stretched his neck to see which number Xu Youyuan had entered.

A golden light emanated from the top of the cave, which made it difficult for Shi Yue and Xu Youyuan to open their eyes.

But Shi Yue managed to see the number entered by Xu Youyuan.

67.

She was really wrong.

The golden light disappeared, and all the fakes around Shi Yue disappeared, leaving her alone, with the number "67" still on top of her head.

Shi Yue still didn't know what to do, lifted the cassock, quickly walked down the stone steps, walked quickly to Xu Youyuan, and asked her very curiously: "How did you find me?"

Xu Youyuan looked at her forehead, turned sideways and snickered: "Of course I found you through the conversation between you and me."

"Nonsense, definitely not." Shi Yue was very sure, "You have already thought of a way before asking the question! It is definitely not through asking questions. Tell me what is going on!"

Xu Youyuan hadn't answered yet, the spider spirit standing beside her almost laughed.

Being taken by the spider spirit, Xu Youyuan also laughed out loud.

Shi Yue finally realized that their eyes were all focused on her head.

It's just bald, isn't it so funny?

wait... no...

There was a bronze mirror beside the spider spirit, Shi Yue immediately ran over, took a picture in front of the mirror, and couldn't help cursing:

"Xu Youyuan, when did you do it! Do you still have a conscience! You bastard!"

Shi Yue turned around angrily, and pointed at the word "bald" written with a marker on the top of her bald head,

"When did you write it! You still wrote it with a marker pen! You also manually bolded it!"

This time it was Xu Youyuan who was rolling on the sofa at home laughing until Shi Yue went over to pinch her before begging for mercy: "Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble. Isn't it because you didn't take off your hat to show me? When you are temporarily offline to answer the phone, I bought a marker pen from the takeaway toolbox and wrote it..."

Shi Yue just remembered, no wonder she saw Xu Youyuan quickly throwing something away when she went online, it turned out that what she lost was the marker pen with the word "bald" written on it.

Shi Yue was really convinced: "Xu Youyuan, how old are you? Why are you still so childish?"

Xu Youyuan is confident and confident: "Of course, I, Xu Youyuan, stand upright. I'm childish. If I'm not childish, I'm really sorry for my name."

Xu Youyuan accidentally wrote on her head with a marker pen, and there was indeed enough reason to not speak until the last moment, just ask her to take off her hat, and she would immediately know who was real.

Speaking of being able to pass this level in one go, I am very lucky. I don’t know if this scene will change the rules of the game after them. In addition to not being able to hint at their true identities, even the marks made in advance must be erased.

"Congratulations on passing the third stage of the adventure theme scene. This is the clearance medal." The spider spirit threw two red medals into the air, and the red medals were automatically added to the names of Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue, along with the blood bar and physical strength. The status is tied.

The word "Adventure" was engraved on the red medal. Xu Youyuan's attention shifted to the red medal, and a row of words automatically appeared next to the medal: 2035 season adventure-themed qualifier clearance certification.

The spider spirit put away the spider web behind him, and the portal for customs clearance appeared in front of his eyes, and made a "please" gesture to them.

"Go!" Xu Youyuan was very excited and entered the portal first.

Shi Yue followed behind, looking at Xu Youyuan's back, reminiscing about the few questions Xu Youyuan asked just now.

It cannot be denied that Xu Youyuan passed the final exam question by mistake this time.

In addition to being sure of success in this ultimate test, it is very likely that Xu Youyuan had other thoughts in those questions.

Xu Youyuan's questions seem to have another deeper meaning under the surface of seriously exploring the meaning of career and life...
