Chapter 41 Nightmare City (3)
Zhou Zhou picked up the teddy bear and placed it upright on the head of the bed. He also knelt and sat on the bed, looking at each other face to face.
At this moment, the fluffy yellow bear remained motionless, as if its movement just now was just an illusion of Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou also stared at the little bear motionlessly, both sides remained still without any movement.No sound from outside the room came into the room, and there was no one in the quiet and dark room.
Finally, Zhou Zhou blinked slowly, looked at the little bear and said, "Why are your eyes glowing red?"
No matter how dark it was, Zhou Zhou could see clearly, so before going to bed, he set the room to dark mode, so that no light could penetrate.Little Bear's red eyes were very obvious in the darkness, and Zhou Zhou's face was also covered with a bleak red light. Looking over from the door, whether it was Zhou Zhou's kneeling posture or flashing on the bed,The red light seemed to be performing a strange and weird ritual.
After Zhou Zhou finished speaking, the little yellow bear sitting on the bed still didn't move, but the eyes with red lights suddenly went out, and the original black eyes returned.
The room was plunged into darkness again.
Zhou Zhou still didn't move. He looked at the little bear who had changed his position in the darkness and crawled to the other side without a sound, and asked, "Are you Xiao Jin?"
Although there is no evidence, Zhou Zhou just thinks that this bear is Xiao Jin, the boy who entered his room on the first night in the copy of Doll's House.
The teddy bear stopped for a moment, then immediately lay down, pretending that he had done nothing, just an ordinary teddy bear.
It's just that Zhou Zhou had already seen all the teddy bear's movements clearly in the dark. He lowered his head and thought, if it was really Xiao Jin, what did he want to do when he came to his room in the middle of the night?
Thinking of his promise in the dungeon, Zhou Zhou suddenly moved. He rolled over from the bed, opened the light-colored wooden cabinet beside the bed, took out a handful of colorful candies from the drawer, and handed the candies to the teddy bear.
Originally thought that the other party couldn't see what he was doing in the dark, just to scare him, but he was seen through at a glance.The teddy bear was very annoyed, but he grabbed the candy without hesitation.
Then the pile of candies slipped through his fingers and all fell on the bed.
The shape of this teddy bear is very ordinary, with light yellow fluff, short and round limbs, and no fingers that can be used to grab it. Naturally, it can't grab candy.
One person and one bear looked down at the candies scattered on the bed, but Zhou Zhou added a knife: "Ah, they all fell."
The teddy bear endured and endured, and finally raised its head and opened its mouth wide: "Wow~"
Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up, and he recognized that this was Xiao Jin's cry.
"You are Xiao Jin." Zhou Zhou affirmed.
The woo-wah-wah crying stopped for a moment, and then continued. Fortunately, Xiao Jin just felt embarrassed this time, and stopped crying after a while.
"You, how do you know it's me?" Xiao Jin said, sobbing.
"I remember your voice." Zhou Zhou frowned slightly, obviously very happy. After all, Xiao Jin came to him, which meant that they were not afraid of him.
The teddy bear turned around, turned its fluffy back to Zhou Zhou, and asked awkwardly after a while, "You said you were going to invite us to dinner, did that count?"
"Of course."
"How about tomorrow?" The teddy bear's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that Zhou Zhou would disagree.
"Tomorrow, I already have an appointment to go to the amusement park with Al tomorrow."
"Amusement park?" Teddy bear Xiao Jin suddenly turned around and stared at Zhou Zhou with a pair of swarthy eyes.It was clearly just a pair of glass eyes inlaid on the teddy bear, but Zhou Zhou saw a trace of longing in it.
"Do you want to go too?"
As soon as Zhou Zhou finished speaking, the teddy bear stood up from the bed, with a pair of short round fluffy arms behind its back, and lowered its head to draw circles on the bed with one foot: "No, we must go."
"Oh." Zhou Zhou nodded. Although in front of him was a teddy bear less than 30 centimeters tall, but thinking of Xiao Jin's appearance, if Xiao Jin with blond hair and golden eyes made these movements, he must be very cute.
Seeing that Zhou Zhou's response was very perfunctory and he didn't intend to continue, the teddy bear could only continue, "I've never been to an amusement park."
"Then do you want to go with us?" Xiao Jin's hint was already very obvious, Zhou Zhou pursed his lips and smiled secretly, he always felt that he was bullying a child.
Little Xiong raised his head and turned his head to look at Zhou Zhou: "Okay, but other people should also want to go."
"Do you mean that other children want to go too?"
"Well, they haven't been to an amusement park either."
"Of course, it will be lively when there are many people."
After getting an affirmative answer, Xiao Jin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and sat back on the bed again: "Thank you."
Zhou Zhou was also sitting by the bed, some distance away from the teddy bear. He remembered very clearly that so many children were scared to cry by him before. Even though Xiao Jin didn’t seem to be so afraid of him anymore, he still carefully kept his distance.For fear of scaring the other party again.
"Why are you not afraid of me all of a sudden?" Zhou Zhou asked.
The teddy bear tried its best to bring the scattered candies to his side, and said, "Of course you were scared when you told us ghost stories, and we went back to complain, but Sister Mo Lan said you are a good person."
Zhou Zhou was surprised and said, "Do you also know Mo Lan?"
"Of course, there are very few advanced players now, so we will also keep in touch frequently to help each other." Xiao Jin hugged the candy that was within short reach, then got up and ran to push the candy that was farther away, looking very busy.
It turned out that Mo Lan helped, but when did he tell a ghost story?Zhou Zhou was very puzzled, so he naturally asked this question to the person involved.
The teddy bear almost jumped up from the bed waving its limbs: "What ghost story? All you tell are ghost stories!"
Zhou Zhou tried hard to recall, he seemed to have only told everyone bedtime stories, so those bedtime stories were ghost stories?
"But there are no ghosts in those stories, nor are they scary, like a kid who comes out to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, behind him is clearly..."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the ghosts are back! The ghosts are back! I won't listen, I won't listen!" The teddy bear covered his ears and rolled on the bed. Although his ears were just a decoration, he managed to interrupt Zhou Zhou's words without letting himselfReminiscing about the fearful times before.
Zhou Zhou stopped talking. Seeing Xiao Jin react so strongly, he lowered his head and thought, could it be that the books he read were really ghost stories?
"But I read those in the room of the dollhouse." There are children's rooms there, and the cover of the book is also very cartoony. He really thought it was a children's bedtime story.
Xiao Jin paused, raised his bear's head and looked at Zhou Zhou: "Did you read it in your room?"
Those books are placed randomly. Most of the elements in the room are designed to increase the sense of fear. No one knows exactly what books are placed. Who would have thought that some players would read books seriously in the room and tell them about it after reading it?Listen, it ended up scaring a group of them to tears?I always feel so suffocated.
"I changed the book when I went back." Xiao Jin said angrily.
After discovering the real reason, Zhou Zhou felt a little embarrassed. He actually scared the children to tears by telling stories. He thought it was because he himself could not get along with the children that made them feel scared.
"I'm sorry, I won't tell those stories in the future." Zhou Zhou apologized again.
The teddy bear waved its paw: "It's okay, I didn't know that the book in the room was a ghost story, I forgive you."
Xiao Jin's tone was very relaxed, Zhou Zhou hesitated and said, "That means we are reconciled now?"
"Ok."
One person and one bear looked at each other and smiled. Although Zhou Zhou couldn't tell whether Xiao Jin was smiling or not, he was very happy.
After dispelling the misunderstanding, Zhou Zhou looked at the little bear who was planing candy into piles on his bed and asked, "Xiao Jin, why are you inside my teddy bear?"
Xiao Jin had already placed all the candies on the bed in front of him, and he walked up to Zhou Zhou, stepping on Zhou Zhou's thigh with two chubby feet, because it was the body of a teddy bear, so it weighed almost nothing, and Zhou Zhou's legs were justTwo round shallow pits were trampled by the bear's feet.
He waved at Zhou Zhou, saw him leaning down, and whispered in his ear: "We can attach souls to other inanimate objects."
Zhou Zhou looked at the teddy bear in surprise, and responded in a low voice, "That's amazing, that's why you are in the toy's body?"
The teddy bear nodded: "Don't tell others."
"I won't tell others." Zhou Zhou promised in a low voice.
After chatting with Xiao Jin, Zhou Zhou knew that Xiao Jin, like Mo Lan, belonged to a minority race in the interstellar world.
They spend their entire lives as children, never growing up, with the ability to leave their souls and attach themselves to inanimate objects.Although this ability is also limited, in the game, these are not big problems, so they come to the game to make money.
Because he was too young, he couldn't find a job in the empire, and now he couldn't appear in the city of Nightmare City openly. After all, the game prohibited minors from entering.So if they want to play around in the city of Nightmare Capital, they need someone to take them, or the objects they possess.
They have seen a lot of players in the dungeon, but everyone seems to regard them as real NPCs, and some people want to hit children.At first, I thought Zhou Zhou was such a bad player. After all, he was even better. Although he didn't do anything, he scared everyone to tears with just a few stories.
It's just that before leaving the dungeon at the end, what he said changed everyone's opinion of him a little bit. This was the first time someone apologized to them so seriously and said that he would invite them to dinner.
Later, sister Mo Lan also said that Zhou Zhou was a very good person, and Xiao Jin took on the important task of spying on Zhou Zhou at night.
Now knowing that those stories were written by them themselves, Xiao Jin finally forgave Zhou Zhou.
Teddy bear Xiao Jin sat in Zhou Zhou's arms and talked a lot, such as the special products owned by his family, and his group of good friends. Zhou Zhou also told him about his companions.
In the end, Xiao Jin was ready to go back. Although he could return his soul to his body directly, he couldn't take the candy, so he borrowed Zhou Zhou's teddy bear and planned to use this body to carry the candy back.
"Aren't you going to gather with us? Then how can I find you?" Zhou Zhou asked standing in front of the door.
The teddy bear that had already gone a certain distance was carrying a small package, which contained Zhou Zhou's packed candies. He turned around when he heard Zhou Zhou's question: "I have already figured out a way. When you enter the amusement park tomorrow, you willCome find us in the doll area, we'll wait for you there."
After he finished speaking, he waved his bear paw at Zhou Zhou, and left with a small package on his back.
Zhou Zhou returned to the room, thinking that he could meet Xiao Jin and the other children tomorrow, and immediately lay down and prepared to sleep. He just closed his eyes and opened them again. He didn't seem to have asked the others if they wanted to go to the amusement park together.
He summoned the mission panel and sent messages to Xueli, Keli, Eddie, Qian Le, Heya, and Mo Lan before falling asleep peacefully.
In the Imperial Palace, Alvia was still reviewing documents when a little boy suddenly appeared next to him, crying and rolling on the ground.
His actions did not attract the slightest attention from Alvia. Although Zeus is an artificial intelligence, his actions are always weird, and he is used to it.
"My appearance, the appearance I originally planned was used by others, ahh, I don't want to use what others left!"
Zeus spun on the smooth and bright marble floor, even though the only person present ignored him, he howled for a long time, then sat up suddenly from the ground, and said to himself: "No, I must think of other ways, I willThe appearance must be magnificent! It must be a landslide! It must be unmatched!"
The voice grew louder and louder. After speaking, he clenched his fists, as if making up his mind, and then disappeared in place, as if everything just never happened.
Alvia glanced at the place where Zeus disappeared, then shifted her gaze to the documents under her hand.I have been in the game for the past two days, so many files can only be reviewed at night.There is no major threat to the empire now, but there are many cumbersome things, such as celebrations in the near future, policy changes in various places, and the rotation of officials on some planets.Some require him to appear in person, while others need to be handed over to the people below to complete.
If he was a few years ago, he would not have spent so much time on other places, let alone playing games.Nightmare City can indeed improve mental power, but at his current level, it is impossible to improve mental power just by playing games. After all, the higher the level, the harder it is to improve.
So why does he spend so much time in the game?Go out and catch the spies yourself?Use yourself as bait?
He hooked the corners of his mouth as if mocking himself, and then looked intently at the document in his hand.Where Alvia is, the items placed are very simple, a set of dark desks and chairs, bookcases on the entire wall, and various instruments and electronic equipment not far away, there is nothing elseIt seems that it does not match the gorgeous decoration on the outside of the palace, and it also looks empty inside the palace.
Alvia was very punctual in his daily life every day. After finishing the training that he had to do day after day, and drinking the nutrient solution, he returned to his bedroom, looked at the holographic equipment inside, andHe looked down at his clothes.
"What are you thinking?" Zeus asked, standing next to Alvia, squinting and staring at him curiously, with a carefree face, looking in a good mood, and lying on the ground rolling yesterdayHowling looks completely different.
Alvia didn't respond, but just changed the dark clothes she usually wore into a set of light-colored daily clothes.
The style of clothes is very simple, but there are no ordinary clothes that can appear here.The corners of the clothes are embroidered with complicated patterns in light silver, which can't be seen unless you look carefully, and the style of the clothes fully reveals the advantages of the wearer's own figure.
Zeus circled around him, watching him enter the holographic game after changing his clothes, the smile on his face somehow became a little strange, he laughed a few times and then disappeared.
The place they agreed on before was the entrance of the amusement park, and Alvia was the first to arrive. Looking at the various towering facilities in the park, as well as the laughter and screams of the people, she always felt that she and this placeout of place.
He casually stood aside and waited for Zhou Zhou to come over. The players who came to the playground seemed to have noticed Alvia. From time to time, a few people looked at him, and some even wanted to strike up a conversation.Alvia minimized her presence, and soon no one noticed him.
In fact, the sense of existence is also related to spiritual power. When Zhou Zhou met Elwell for the first time, the transparent film he felt was actually Elwell wrapping the two people with spiritual power, so as to minimize their sense of existence and deceive them.The five senses of the monster.
In the following games, he also relied on his spiritual power to make everyone unconsciously ignore his existence.He Ya's spiritual power is also very high, so he can also reduce his sense of existence. Although he can't reach the level of Alvia, generally speaking, for a person like him who is extremely eye-catching just because of his height and shapeIt's really useful.
"Al!"
After waiting for a long time, Zhou Zhou's voice sounded not far away. Elwell looked up and saw Zhou Zhou waving excitedly at him in the crowd.
He was also curious why Zhou Zhou could notice him every time, even though he minimized his sense of presence, Zhou Zhou's sight always caught him immediately.
Nodding towards Zhou Zhou, Alvia got up and prepared to meet Zhou Zhou.
After Zhou Zhou waved to Alvia, seeing that he saw him, he immediately said to the two people behind him: "There are a lot of people here, follow me, and don't get separated."
Qian Le: "Don't worry, no matter how many people there are, I will follow you closely."
Eddie: "It's okay, it's nothing to worry about. If you get lost, we will contact you on the mission panel."
Zhou Zhou nodded: "Well, then let's meet up with Al."
When the two people behind Zhou Zhou came into sight and greeted him, Alvia paused slightly, then walked over at the same speed as usual.
