Xia Xingye, who had always been gentle and gentle about Black Lotus, finally couldn't hold back and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"There is a camera here." Xia Xingye said suddenly, "Let's talk in the emergency passage over there. You follow my route."

As he said that, he took a step to the right and landed right on the wall, avoiding the prying eyes of the camera.

Chu Tianshu followed him, a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows: "You..."

"I thought that with your IQ, you wouldn't be able to tell. I followed you out specifically just to avoid their surveillance and talk to you, right?" Xia Xingye said.

Chu Tianshu was silent for a moment. Xia Xingye smiled and said: "Why, your courage has become smaller? You no longer want to know things related to the things you once pursued so persistently? Or rather than the truth...you want to talk to each other more now?"

How about living with that person? He has changed you so much?"

"No," Chu Tianshu said, "I was thinking..."

Xia Xingye listened.

"The Advent Foundation is indeed bankrupt and cannot pay wages." Chu Tianshu looked at him with sympathetic eyes, "No wonder you defected."

Xia Xingye:......

"Sometimes I really don't know if you are pretending to be stupid or if you are really stupid." He sighed.

To be honest, Chu Tianshu is one of the few people that Xia Xingye cannot see through.

Different from the real world, the high-level camp is another small world without rules. It is a paradise for strong players and a nightmare for weak players. Different from the mid-level and low-level players who are still struggling between life and death, the high-level camp has

The level of needs of players is far higher than the most basic "survive".

Although you will die in the dungeon if you are not careful, the delicacies, entertainment and sense of power that can be obtained at the lowest price in the camp can still make advanced players addicted. Some of them have completely given up on playing in the real world.

Life, staying in the advanced camp before the arrival of the new copy, regards this place as the world they really live in. They constantly study the nature of the system and transform the game world in order to "pursue a better life."

There are also players who always want to completely break away from the game and return to reality because of worries in reality. Even if they have become strong, they are constantly exploring the nature of the game in order to get an opportunity to "leave here completely".

The above two are the most well-known "hedonistic faction" and "secession faction" respectively. In addition to these two factions, there is also a very small "ruling faction". They also study the nature of games, and their research purpose is to one day control the game.

Change the game and become the "god" of the game.

Xia Xingye belongs to the third category, which is why he left "Chenxing" and joined the Advent Foundation.

However, Chu Tianshu is different from these three factions.

He seems to be very purposeful, focusing more on the study of games than anyone else. However, what makes him incompatible with others is that the purpose of his research is only the research itself.

——He is satisfied with exploring and understanding this system, but that is all. Unlike the other three types of people, he seems to have no ambition to use this research to do anything or control anything.

So much so that Xia Xingye thought that Chu Tianshu would be the first to push open the "door". However, his purpose of pushing the door open was different from others. Others were pushing the door to achieve something.

Purpose, he approached the door, but just to verify a certain conjecture.

Apart from this (that is, to satisfy his curiosity), he is quite lazy and careless to the point of lacking ambition. Rather than relying on his own research results to gain benefits and dominate the game, he would rather sleep in his office

Play games.

——Perhaps for this reason, Xia Xingye was able to maintain a relatively "friendly" relationship with him even after he quit Chenxing due to He Liang's incident and fell out with everyone in Chenxing.

"He has indeed changed me a lot. At least, after being with him, every thought I have has changed from 'what to do today' to 'what to do with him today'." Chu Tianshu said in embarrassment.

He scratched his head and said, "Although I really want to feed you a mouthful of dog food. But...that's not the reason why I objected."

"Then what's the reason?"

Chu Tianshu: "Since the top management of the foundation has set up surveillance cameras here to monitor our activities..."

Xia Xingye nodded: "That's why I asked you to go to the blind corner..."

Chu Tianshu: "Then if you ask me to specifically avoid the camera and talk to you in a blind corner for half an hour before coming out, won't it seem more cover-up and deliberate?"

Xia Xingye:......

"...What should we do?" he finally said.

Chu Tianshu: "There is something in this world called a button."

Xia Xingye:......

Chu Tianshu: "Add me to dunk, and we can chat in detail online after we go back?"

Xia Xingye:......

After staying in a game that does not allow private chat for a long time, Xia Xingye has developed the habit of talking face to face when it comes to game-related matters.

...Chu Tianshu's belief in science is sometimes suffocating.

The two men eventually exchanged buckles.

"Is there really a ghost in this hotel?" Chu Tianshu said as he walked towards the emergency exit, "Logically speaking, there are very few places where ghosts can survive in the real world. It is really not easy for you to find this place."

Xia Xingye said: "The capabilities of the Advent Foundation are beyond your imagination."

Chu Tianshu: "Oh."

The corridor was very dark with no lights. Chu Tianshu looked at the entrance of the passage, as if he was looking for something.

Xia Xingye looked at his expression and reminded him: "Don't forget that this is reality, not a game. In the game you may be able to kill ghosts, but in reality, I suggest you not to act rashly."

"Found it."

Chu Tianshu pulled out an iron rod from the ground. Xia Xingye looked at the iron rod and said, "Are you going to use this kind of thing to fight ghosts?"

Chu Tianshu looked at him inexplicably and stuck the iron rod in a triangular shape on the closed fire door.

Xia Xingye:......

Chu Tianshu: "Of course it's used to lock the door."

Then, Chu Tianshu locked the stairs on the other side in the same way, took out the tools, and worked on the two elevators. After everything was completed, he whistled: "This is good, there is no problem."

The ghost can come up."

Xia Xingye: "...To protect these people?"

Chu Tianshu said: "To protect these ghosts."

When the two entered 1813, the fighting situation in the room was still fierce. All the poker faces looked on the verge of collapse, only Lin Huai became more and more excited.

When the two arrived, the "waiter's" killing was just in progress in Room 1311. Chu Tianshu looked at Lin Huai who was having a great time, and there was a bit of tenderness in his eyes.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Xia Xingye's words are indeed correct.

Chu Tianshu does not shy away from his dark side.

Before meeting Lin Huai for the first time, he had been trying to live a life disguised as a 'normal ordinary person'. He stayed away from the Chu family and all life related to ghosts. He tried hard to abandon everything he owned

You can carefully plan the parts that can be called "abnormal" in your daily life.

Be an ordinary high school boy: he will be naughty in school, talk about brotherhood with friends, beat to the music of the sprinkler truck when walking on the road, and be hated by the cat that wants to feed... Just like every

Everyone will have that kind of ordinary and boring life, but full of warm and small things.

——Just like when he was twelve years old, he was walking on the street, watching people coming and going, watching the dusk turn into an endless river of lights. For him, the world was full of vast loneliness and strangeness. He was in the presence of other people.

In the voice of worry, I decided to integrate into this world. It was like steel melting itself into a river, and then flowing into the sea.

He clearly knows that there are many special things about him that are beyond ordinary people, just like the knife he uses for cooking, but when he uses it to cut and separate the human body for the first time in the game, he can actually remain calm.

It even made Du Chongshan panic and calm down.

... He would occasionally feel that this trait of his was quite scary, so he would try to rationalize it every time. However, except for Lin Huai who expressed approval when he did this, everyone else's reaction was that he

Even more perverted.

Don't talk about this.

Chu Tianshu decided to try his best to be an ordinary person. Even if the well was still in his dream, even if it was raining under the eaves at his mother's funeral, everyone's eyes were still hovering in his deepest dream.

——It was a strong sense of guilt. It was his "abnormality" that led to such a situation.

——It's his fault.

If it weren't for meeting Lin Huai, he would have spent his life like this.

——It wasn't until he met Lin Huai that Chu Tianshu understood that the "abnormality" in the eyes of others can also be a kind of romantic normality in some people.

Compared with Chu Tianshu, who is trying to live a "quiet life", Lin Huai is so stubborn and out of place. He uncontrollably hates all dogma, is naive and cruel, uses his own fallacies, and refuses to integrate with the world.

He is like a little monster, hated by the world, but never willing to compromise.

...As a result, he was often injured, and even got burned once.

However, when looking at him, Chu Tianshu heard the crisp sound that can be heard when loneliness is struck.

——It is an irresistible, fate-like magnetic force.

Xiao Lin Huai left his life. But Chu Tianshu began to feel that it was not bad to be a weirdo and do weird things by himself.

——For example, dig that well.

——That "well" that made him feel that he was feared by the whole world. That "well" that made him feel that his existence was a "mistake".

——Perhaps after the truth is revealed, he can truly face the truth that his mother planned to strangle him to death.

...but he is still lazy after all, and the image of a sand sculpture boy in the past ten years is not all disguise. He also wanted to try to be a ruthless executor with great suffering and hatred, but in the end he was defeated by his laziness, but there was just a match
To be continued...
