Somewhat coincidentally, out of the corner of her eye, she glanced out of the window, and the sky outside the window had become gray again.

No, not only the sky, but even the air is gray.

It was a fog that was getting thicker--on this sunny noon, the moody moors were foggy.

Chapter 96 Looking for Years

mist.

This kind of weather is very common in the wilderness of the Terra continent. It may be pure natural fog, or it may be a special fog caused by the origin stone—of course, the natural disaster messenger of the Rhode Island ship did not issue any warning, This means that the mist now covering the area is simply a naturally occurring mist of water.

However, what Xia Wan cares about is not the source of the fog, she only cares about the fog itself.

After the plot of Xiaoqiu County is over, the plot of Chapter 9 in the game "Tomorrow's Ark" is not completely over. There is still a very important plot, that is... These have been mentioned before, so I won't go here Let me repeat.

In short, the sign of the countdown to Tallulah's jailbreak, which was held in the confinement room of Rhodes Island, was the foggy weather that was so thick that even sophisticated alarm instruments would fail.

In the plot, the fog... lasted for more than 20 days. With the help of the fog and the assistance of a top hacker, the integration movement bypassed all defenses and paralyzed the management system of Keluxie , successfully invaded Rhodes Island, which is known as the most difficult to invade.

At that time, the only elite operators present on the main ship of Rhodes Island were Kelsey and Huang, and the others were all performing field missions. The integration movement picked the best opportunity, even though Amiya, who arrived immediately, tried her best to stop them There was nothing they could do, and the only good news was that apart from kidnapping Tallulah, the integration movement did not cause any casualties to Rhodes Island.

In reality, the mist came at an inopportune time.

The plot of Casimir and the plot of the prison robbery are closely connected together, Xia Wan has no idea what will happen.

The itinerary planned by the doctor will start within a few days, but according to the time in the plot, Tallulah will be taken away at least 20 days later.

Was it a simpler and easier jailbreak operation when the doctor took away the few left-behind operators from Rhodes Island during the integration movement, or was the originally scheduled schedule disrupted and the doctor had to stay in Rhodes Island? In the end, the plot of Casimir was delayed, not to mention that the correction power was still at work.

Perhaps the former possibility does not seem to be unacceptable, but any situation that deviates greatly from the game plot, or even out of control, is not a good thing.

Xia Wan was thinking distressedly, while speeding up her pace—from now on, she had to end her work quickly, and set aside more time to follow up the development of the plot.

However, just as she stepped into the medical department and was planning to visit Shuangxing first, an unexpected operator walked up to her, and the two were stunned when they saw each other.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I was thinking of looking for you, has that matter been settled?"

The other party was the first to come over with a smile on his face, but the smile and the overemphasized word made Xia Wan feel the irony in the words.

.....It's true, it's entirely her fault that it turned out like this, she could only smile wryly, and apologized: "Sorry, Xi, I've been busy recently, and I haven't had time to find your sister yet."

Recently, it refers to the nearly one month since accepting Xi's request that day, not so much that she was so busy that she didn't even have time to go to Nian's place, it's better to say that she had already forgotten about it. up.

Really, she completely forgot about it, and, to put it bluntly, she went back and forth between the dormitory area, the office area, and the medical department in Rhodes Island every day, but she never saw Nian, which caused her to even No chance of remembering.

Xi also seemed to be vaguely aware of the real situation, but after all, she was in the position of a client. After thinking about it, she snorted uncomfortably, and then changed the subject: "Forget it, you just need to remember, I heard My sister is looking for props for filming everywhere recently, you can stop by the purchasing department and ask."

After finishing speaking, she left the medical department straight away. Xia Wan stood alone in place and thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the purchasing department.

In short, let's get Xi's request done first, so as not to forget about it again.

Out of this idea, Xia Wan plans to go directly to Nian——Actually, it is very easy to find this guy, but as long as you walk around the purchasing department and entertainment area and ask passing operators, you will probably get her news.

After all, she has always been at the center of all entertainment in Rhodes Island, and she is afraid that her life will not be able to enjoy herself in time.

After a while, Xia Wan came to the Purchasing Department and asked Ke Luxie who was playing video games behind the counter, and got the exact location of Nian.

"...in the workshop?"

Xia Wan muttered, looking at Ke Luxie with a strange expression.

There was a metallurgical workshop in Rhodes Island in [-]——of course, it was a workshop that was set up privately by using a temporarily unused warehouse, but basically every operator knows about it, especially the engineering workshop. Ministry cadres, they even visited more than once.

It is not uncommon for Nian to be in the workshop. What is strange is that she ran back to the workshop when she was supposed to be looking for movie props. Could it be that the filming plan has entered the stage of starting to build various props by herself?

Like the last time, there was also a plot in the game "Tomorrow's Ark". When she landed on Rhodes Island in [-] and filmed the first independent film "The Oven Shows the Year", she went through the process like this. Determine the script, persuade Actors, find props, build props, and start shooting.

Because her script is quite peculiar... It's better to say that the whole movie is quite peculiar in terms of material selection and setting. But none of them are ordinary things, and the earlier she starts this step, the more peculiar the film will prove to be.

Xia Wan's deduction was correct, especially when she knocked on the door and walked into Nian's workshop, she was even more sure of it after seeing the strange assembly parts inside.

"...I suddenly began to understand why Xi didn't want to be the lead actor."

Glancing at the workshop that had gradually become difficult to settle down, Xia Wan secretly sighed, and then, perhaps hearing her sigh, Nian, who was buried in the forging furnace, stopped what he was doing, raised his head and asked: "What did you just say? I didn't catch it."

"No, I didn't say anything, you go ahead."

"Didn't say anything?...Okay, then what are you doing here, want to read the script in advance? It's fine, anyway, I just plan to get the props almost done, let you rehearse first and then finish the rest part."

"Not this one either, I'm not interested in the content of the script, Nian."

Xia Wan withdrew her eyes from looking at those assembly parts, took a light breath, and said seriously: "It's your sister, Xi asked me to come, so you should know what's going on, right?"

Hearing this, Nian froze for a moment, then grinned and said, "Hey, she asked you to come to me, so you just tell me straight, okay?"

"What's wrong, anyway, when I open my mouth to say something, you should have guessed it, why don't you just say it, it will save trouble."

Yes, that's why Xia Wan is so confident about persuading Nian.

Xi just hoped that revising the script would save her from participating in the role, and did not say that she must be excluded from the list of actors.

In this case, Xia Wan only needs to ask Nian to temporarily suspend the filming plan and declare to the outside world that he is revising the script. Anyway, no one has read the current script except Nian himself.

--------

The author's words:

Thank you readers for your great concern. I don’t have sun yet, but it’s coming soon. It’s probably only a week or two.

In short, in the worst case, I will guarantee two updates every day, please don’t worry, thank you for your support~

Chapter 97 Modifying the Script

"It just so happens that the doctor is going to lead a team to Casimir soon. After all, your filming plan will be postponed for more than a month. This can also appease Xi's resistance, how about it?"

After roughly explaining her own request --- the only request to change the script to the outside world, Xia Wan persuaded like this.

In her view, this can be said to be a win-win solution.

"It's fine with me. It would be a good thing if I didn't have to spend so much time finding someone to scare my lonely sister with firecrackers." Nian temporarily put down the thing in his hand, and asked while flexing his wrist: "But why do you Are you sure she will accept it honestly after a while?"

"No, I'm not sure."

Shaking her head, Xia Wan continued: "The part I'm in charge of only ends here, the rest, um, your sister has a very good saying, when soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, there will always be a way, if it is impossible to go to that Then you can use firecrackers to drive her out of the room."

"Ha, what's the difference between me and me scaring her with firecrackers now?"

"Just as a favor?"

Hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Nian's face, and he stared at Xia Wan with his lotus-colored eyes for a long while, even the flame on the tip of the slender tail behind her seemed to have stagnated a bit, and the flames ignited again. A long sigh: "Ah——, I really don't understand what you are thinking, I really want to help you with this favor, but I just suddenly had a new idea, what should I do?"

"...Your idea, I don't think it's a good thing, just say it."

"According to your intention, no, it should be following my sister's intention, I really want to revise the script now, it's just the revised part—you said that no matter what movie it is, you will participate in it. Can a sentence still count at this time?"

Before, she had never heard of the annual meeting asking for the consent of the actors for the content of the script. The more she behaved now, the more she proved that this idea was really not a good thing. Xia Wan had a faint feeling that she was going to be tricked into it. This kind of development is right.

But, no matter what, what was promised has to be done, and now there is no way to leave, she frowned, and sighed reluctantly: "... just don't go too far and just don't go too far." good."

"Hey, in my eyes, any script is not too much, but who knows what you think? Otherwise, let me explain it to you briefly?"

As Nian said, he sat down on the only chair in the workshop with great interest, as if he was ready to exchange some stories about the script of the movie. Seeing this, Xia Wan quickly refused: "No, then No need, I don’t want to be like Xi and I’m afraid to avoid it, let’s wait until rehearsal, and I still have a lot of troubles.”

"That's really a pity. I thought I could talk freely after a long absence."

"Let's talk freely, so we've made a deal?"

"It's decided, anyway, the script was really revised, and you can't be counted as lying to her."

After receiving Nian's affirmative reply, Xia Wan immediately turned and left the workshop.

It's not that she has any opinion on Nian, but that she's afraid that if she stays here longer, she will hear Nian eagerly telling her her new ideas.

She was already full of troubles, and she didn't want to worry about it now.

Now, let's not worry about the future, or look on the bright side, at least Xi's painting is in his hands.

There is a world in Xi's paintings. When you step into the scroll, you can appreciate the flavor of another world. She paints mountains and waters, the sky and the earth, flowers and trees, birds and animals. Every world she paints is alive and natural. , drawing people is also alive.

Needless to say, who Xia Wan wants Xi to draw has already been answered.

This is much better than photos and videos—when she agreed to help Xi, she didn't feel anything special, but now that she thought of getting the painting soon, she became more and more anxious from the bottom of her heart , anxious until she left here from Nian.He ran to Xi's room without stopping.

Push open the antique door of Yanguo, and step into a vast winter that is different from last time. While feeling the soft snow under your feet and the still tough green grass covered by snow, you walk along the winding mountain road. , to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Xi sat on the edge of a steep cliff, not knowing whether she was looking at the thin clouds rolling around her like mist, or the crystal snowflakes flying all over the sky.

Xia Wan didn't notice this seemingly illusory scene at all. Panting, she supported the cold mountain wall and rested for a while before shouting: "You bastard, you must Did you choose such a ghostly place?"

Hearing her voice, Xi suddenly stood up from the edge of the cliff, frowned and asked: "What is a ghost place, isn't it good here?"

"Next time, I should follow your sister's example and put two hanging whips at the door of your room, which will save me from climbing the mountain in almost 10 minutes!"

With Xia Wan's current physical strength, even if she used the black box to lighten the burden on the way, things like mountain climbing are still too high on her... She thinks too highly of herself, although she thought at first that she would find it soon People are just that.

Only then did Xi realize why Xia Wan was so angry when she saw her, she scratched her head in embarrassment, and explained: "No, I never expected you to come so fast, don't let go next time." Firecrackers, just knock on the door."

"...Forget it." Xia Wan took another deep breath, and the chilly fresh air entered her lungs, which dissipated a lot of her anxiety: "Let's get down to business, It was done over there in [-], and now it's time for you to pay the bill."

"Is this true? Did she really go to revise the script?"

"It's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask her face to face."

Hearing this, Xi smiled embarrassingly: "No, no, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I didn't expect you to convince her so easily... Anyway, you want me to draw a picture for you." Man, do you have a more specific description?"

"Yes, give me a moment."

As Xia Wan said, the appearance of that person had already appeared in his mind.

Those who meet every day, the closest people can't remember their faces, but if they are separated from each other, or even unable to see each other for a long time, the faces of the other party will often appear in the bottom of my heart.

Just like now, when it is mentioned, Xia Wan can think of her appearance, every frown and smile clearly seems to reappear from yesterday.

However, in order to describe this memory, she still needs to carefully consider her words.

Chapter 98 Drawing

Xi painted very quickly.

In the snowflakes all over the sky, she used the air as the canvas, and the sword in her hand as the tip of the brush, with thick ink and heavy colors, one stroke after another without stopping, and completed the entire painting in one breath.

It's strange to say that Xi used the traditional techniques of the Yan Kingdom, whether it was painting or coloring, but when the finished painting was presented to Xia Wan, the moment she reached out and touched the canvas, she felt what she saw in front of her eyes. The painting becomes a realistic style.

Perhaps, the same is true of the world she lives in now, no wonder there are almost no Rhodes Island operators in the personal files who are not amazed by Yu Xi's strange ability.

"How? This is what you want."

After finishing the painting, Xi put away her sword and came to Xia Wan's side, and looked at the painting with her: "If you are not satisfied with the finished product, I will tear it up."

"...No, I am very satisfied, the painting is very similar."

Xia Wan refused, but she didn't turn her head to look at Xi, but concentrated on looking at the painting. The person in the painting stretched out her hand, carefully touching the scroll with her trembling fingertips.

It's so similar, it can't be more like it.

Letting Xi Lai paint is indeed the best choice. If it were any other painter, I am afraid that it would not be able to bring Xia Wan this feeling.

"That's fine."

Seeing Xia Wan like this, Xi's eyes flicked back and forth between her and the painting, then she blinked her eyes as if she understood something, and asked, "Although I don't want to ask about your relationship with the person in the painting, but you Why don't you go in and take a look? That's why you asked me to paint."

"Have a look......"

Indeed, what Xi said was not wrong, if it wasn't for being able to enter the world in the painting, Xia Wan wouldn't need to ask for this painting at all.

But, not now, she doesn't intend to let anyone know about her relationship with the person in the painting.

"Still, put it away first."

She resisted the urge to enter the painting, pinched the scroll and rolled it up, bit her lips tightly and said, "Thank you, Xi, I... have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

How could Xi not see such an obvious meaning, she nodded almost without hesitation and replied, "Alright, then let's go, next time you come, remember to knock on the door."

"Ah."

After a hasty response, Xia Wan walked down the mountain road that was almost shortened by [-]% or [-]% without knowing it, and quickly left Xi's room——she was not going to enter the painting when there were others, in other words That is, when she looks for when no one is around.
