midnight ten

The hall on the first floor, near the stair passage, behind a wall suitable for eavesdropping.

Huo Xu: "They're gone."

Fan Peiyang: "Yes."

Huo Xu: "Your captain is okay, not over-headed."

Fan Peiyang: "Yes."

Huo Xu: "How long will you hold your knife and fork to the air?"

Fan Peiyang calmed down and cut off the stationery tree.

The brand new knives and forks suspended around him fell to the ground with a clang.

Huo Xusan rolled his eyes upwards, there was nothing to say.

Who eats steak with two sets of knives and forks?One for eating, and one for carrying with you, so that you can use it for attack?

Also, apart from Tang Lin's attitude of pulling Yu Fei here for a secret talk, he looked a bit suspicious, and his follow-up performance was okay. What is this guy next to him so angry about?

Especially when Yu Fei said, "If I can persuade you, the training will be worth as long as it takes", Huo Xu was almost forced by the murderous look next to him to do it reflexively.

Inexplicable, violent madness.

Huo Xu, who completely forgot that he had surfed the head of the assembly area of ​​the Ten Clubs to the nineteenth floor when he disagreed with him, commented on Mr. Fan.

Temporarily putting Yu Fei, who dared to be tempted by Tang Lin, into the "folder to be processed", Fan Peiyang looked at Huo Xu, and suddenly asked, "Why are you here?"

Huo Xu was caught off guard, stunned for a moment, and then hummed: "Didn't you let me go together?"

"If you are so obedient, you won't waste a day and a half of my sincerity." Fan Peiyang said.

Huo Xu: "...you can choose not to follow."

"If I don't follow, Tang Lin will follow." Fan Peiyang frowned frequently when he thought of the scene a few days ago, "He smiled at you too many times."

"..." Huo Xu fell into a daze again.

What Fan Peiyang said was as confusing as the shiny knife and fork flying out of his pocket.

Fan Peiyang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said. Seeing that Huo Xu didn't continue to ask, he naturally returned to the previous topic: "I probably guessed why you came here."

Huo Xu hung his eyes and said nothing.

Fan Peiyang knew he had guessed right: "You used to be an explorer."

Huo Xu's eyes drifted away for a moment, as if he remembered something, he sneered: "Tch, a group of people are rushing to die."

"Don't you think they're going to succeed?"

"Rampaging like a headless chicken, all discoveries are piled up one by one. If you are lucky, you may succeed, but my luck has always been bad."

Fan Peiyang raised his eyebrows: "Then why did you join before?"

Huo Xu looked at him: "I was an idiot at that time, okay?"

Fan Peiyang liked this neat answer, and was pleased to finally discover an advantage of bandaged youth.

However, self-defense cannot conceal the essence, and it can be persuaded by observers. After much deliberation, there is only one reason: "Compared to breaking through barriers, do you want to explore the truth more?"

"You want to say that you can find it if you join us?" Huo Xu asked sarcastically.

"No," Fan Peiyang replied without hesitation, "so you'd better think clearly."

Huo Xu: "..."

They stared at each other in silence for a while.

Both sides are the same indifference, and the same style has no emotion.

"What are your names?"

"VIP."

"It's really ugly."

"It was started by the captain, you can change it after you come."

"Oh."

"But I won't admit it."

"..."

Not long after Tang Lin returned to the room, he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was some hard-working teammate who was going back to his room for a lunch break. He finished the break early and came to start the afternoon training. When the door opened, it was Fan Peiyang and Huo Xu.

"He agreed." Mr. Fan directly announced the results of his work, and he couldn't wait to enter the door, and immediately stood at the door to announce to the world.

The good news came too suddenly, and the timing was too coincidental, but after he finished chatting with Yu Fei, Tang Lin looked back and forth between the two, so he had to be suspicious.

Seeing that Huo Xu remained silent for a long time, it was rare for Fan Peiyang to guide him patiently: "Call the captain."

"..." Huo Xu was silent for two seconds, then turned and left.

Thanks to Tang Lin's sharp eyes and quick hands, he pulled him back: "No need, just call me Tang Lin." After finishing speaking, he quickly frowned at Fan Peiyang, hoping that the other party would understand that this is a teammate recruited through hard work, not you. Parents bring their children to see the teacher!

Fan Peiyang didn't understand such a specific meaning, but he barely grasped the outline.Shrug your shoulders and concentrate on being a silent man.

Tang Lin didn't waste time to be polite. He went into the house and made a small talk. When treating Huo Xu, once the timing is missed, it will be difficult to talk again. So after pulling the other party back, he took advantage of the situation and gave a guarantee: "What we said before remains the same, we Team up to enter 4/10, as long as the level rules allow, you can leave at any time."

It is a guarantee, and it is also the final sway in Huo Xu's heart.

"Welcome to VIP." Tang Lin held out his hand to him.

Huo Xu was stunned by the hand that was handed in front of him. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized it. He put his hands in his pockets and turned around coldly: "Go back to catch up on sleep."

Just two steps away, he suddenly turned back and warned: "Don't guard my door again."

Tang Lin laughed and nodded: "I'll give you half a day off today, and come to the training camp early tomorrow morning."

Huo Xu snorted noncommittally and walked away.

Only Fan Peiyang was left in front of the door.

"Can I talk?"

Tang Lin stepped aside: "Not only can you talk, but you can also come in and talk."

Well, Fan Peiyang decided not to care about the "temporary silence" just now.

"Did you hear my conversation with Yu Fei?" Tang Lin asked impatiently as soon as he entered the living room.Other than that, he really couldn't think of a reason for Huo Xu's sudden loosening.

"I heard." Fan Peiyang sat down on the sofa.

Tang Lin poured him a glass of water, and said in a delicate tone, "I deliberately took him to a remote place to talk."

Fan Peiyang took the water, took a sip, and nodded: "So it's hard to find a place to eavesdrop, so I missed your first few words."

... This bad review is really justified.

"Okay," Tang Lin said unhappily, "Next time I will choose a place that is convenient for eavesdropping."

"Huo Xu used to be an explorer." Fan Peiyang got down to business.

"Explorer?" Then it's no wonder he reacted to the conversation between himself and Yu Fei.

"Same as you, I don't agree with the desperate exploration method. He didn't say how long he stayed in the explorer, but with his personality..." Fan Peiyang didn't think about it, "Theoretically, it won't exceed the trial period."

The boss will not like this kind of employee, because the idea is too positive, it is difficult to tell where to fight, no matter how talented, it is useless to be disobedient.

But Tang Lin is not the boss, and he has no plans to find employees. What he wants is a partner who can hand over his back to the other party.

"I hope he can stay in the VIP longer." Tang Lin sighed lightly.

Trust takes time to accumulate, and if time is not enough, it cannot be forced.

"You want him that much?" Fan Peiyang frowned.

Of course I want to, otherwise for so many days, I will form a group to be the door god for others, what is the plan.

But when Fan Peiyang uttered the word "want", it always seemed to have an inexplicable meaning...

In order to avoid falling into the trap or lead to some out-of-control topic, Tang Lin decided to skip it directly and change to a serious topic: "So, Huo Xu agreed to join because I rejected the explorer?"

No, it's the phrase "I'd rather take my partner home".

At that moment, Huo Xu's eyes changed.

Emotional perception is as dull as Fan Peiyang, and he can detect it.

But with Huo Xu's ability, Fan Peiyang didn't think he needed to rely on anyone to bring him home, so what really moved Huo Xu in that sentence was Tang Lin's attitude towards his partner.

Fan Peiyang seldom seriously analyzed someone's psychology. It was rare to analyze it today, and he gained a little, but he didn't intend to tell Tang Lin at all.

Huo Xu was attracted to the VIP by your personality charm, and Mr. Fan would not say it until the end of the world.

"Yes, it's because you rejected Yu Fei." Fan Peiyang didn't change his face, standing upright.

Tang Rin had no doubts about him, and began to think about another thing.

Although he rejected the explorer, the information that the explorer gave him made Tang Lin think a lot.

"What do you think of what Yu Fei said?"

"About the owl system and this world?" Fan Peiyang shook his head lightly. "It's far from touching the essence. Why does the level exist? What is the purpose of letting us break through the level? Their exploration is still spinning around the periphery of these two core issues. Want to destroy Here, how to destroy it, and what feasible solutions are known so far? They are even more blank on this question."

"But they dare to think, do, and fight with their lives. They are worthy of admiration." Tang Lin looked at Fan Peiyang, "If we have a chance to find out the truth in the next pass, do you want to try?"

Fan Peiyang asked without answering, "Do you want to try?"

"Yeah." Tang Lin nodded, "I want to try."

"But you rejected the explorers," Fan Peiyang reminded, "Even if you don't want to join, you can let VIP and them become strategic partners, at least they started early and have a large scale."

"No." Regarding the priority of each goal, Tang Lin was very sure, "Your safety comes first, breaking through the barrier is second, and finding out the truth here is third. If I join hands with explorers, I can't guarantee these three things order."

Fan Peiyang said: "I want to find the truth, but I don't want to take risks. I haven't seen such a cheap thing."

"Zhuzi wants to find his friend, Nan Ge wants to go home, I finally got my second health, and I have to watch over a guy who always wants to run into danger every day," Tang Lin rested his chin on one hand and glanced at him , "I don't want to take risks."

Fan Peiyang: "..."

Criticized anonymously.

"But I always think there will be a chance." Tang Lin remained cautiously optimistic, "There is still very little information about this place. As we pass through the barrier, perhaps more and more secrets will surface, enough to support us. Create a viable battle plan."

"Maybe until the end, we still don't know anything about the core secret here." Mr. Fan always likes to prepare for the worst.

Tang Lin was convinced that Fan Peiyang, like him, wanted to explore the truth, but now he has been thrown cold water by the other party, so he hesitated: "You haven't answered the question just now."

"If we have the opportunity to explore the truth, do you want to try it?" Fan Peiyang repeated the question, and before Tang Lin could speak, he gave the answer firmly, "Of course. Whether it is a person or a group of people behind it, I will let them understand that waste Other people's time is the most unforgivable thing, if this time happens to be the golden period of struggle, the crime will be added to the crime."

"But if you hadn't been involved and entered the wishing room, I might not have survived now." Tang Lin said matter-of-factly.

Fan Peiyang thought about it carefully: "Okay, then let them die again."

Tang Rin: "..."

So how many times did you want to kill those behind-the-scenes black hands? ?

Good things don't go out, miracles spread thousands of miles.

Just in the evening, news of Huo Xu's joining the VIP became public, and by eight or nine in the evening, it had already spread throughout the assembly area.

Even the teams that were wandering around the checkpoint and preparing to enter 4/10 at zero o'clock temporarily forgot about the upcoming checkpoint, and raised their heads to discuss with the passers-by in the upstairs corridor.

Downstairs: "Really?"

The second floor: "It's more real than the few remaining hairs on your hair."

Downstairs: "Gossip is gossip, can you not engage in personal attacks?"

The fourth floor: "Hey, why did you agree?"

Third Floor: "I think he's only now agreeing, he's quite tenacious. With VIPs chasing and intercepting me, let alone a month, I can go crazy in a day..."

This incident naturally spread to the ears of some acquaintances.

After He Lu heard the good news, he was sincerely happy for the VIP and ashamed of his rash judgment.Huo Xu may lack trust in people, but a sincere heart can really melt the ice of another heart.

After hearing this, Guan Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no longer had to worry about Huo Xu becoming a donut in her box.

Cui Zhan's initial reaction was to regret that he had missed a talent, but then he remembered Huo Xu's bad temper, and felt that such a disaster, if you miss it, you should miss it.

Zhou Yunhui has no time to deal with these gossips, and is taking the time to lead the team to train, preparing for the next pass to open, so he will enter.

The Skeleton Bride and Edogawa, who have been promoted step by step, have a more thorough idea about this matter because they have survived on an isolated island with a VIP, and they know their strength well——

The Skeleton Bride felt that Huo Xu must have been defeated by Mr. Fan's strength.

Edogawa firmly believed that it was Tang Lin's charm that convinced Huo Xu.

The matter didn't cool down until late at night, because the gate was about to be opened.

Different from the desertedness at midnight on weekdays, the assembly area at this time is noisy, and the lobby on the first floor is even more crowded.There are teams that pass through the checkpoint, and they don't move around much anymore. They gather near the checkpoint and wait for it.There are also people who want to observe the situation outside the checkpoint at close range. They walk back and forth on the periphery of the checkpoint crowd, and glance at the checkpoint from time to time.

The VIPs also left their rooms, leisurely watching the excitement in the corridors in front of their respective doors.

"When...when...when..."

The grandfather clock in the hall on the first floor struck twelve times.

It's midnight.

There was no movement at the gate.

At first, everyone just thought it was strange, but later, they started talking about it, and then, when it was dawn, the gate was still closed, and the assembly area exploded.

At the same time, the gatekeeper rest area was also bombed.

Every gatekeeper who got the news wanted to run around the field like a butterfly, passing the gossip honey collected to the next unknowing colleague——

"Have you heard that the 13 yuan owl jade was dug out at the same time in the cultivation area, and the entire cultivation area was forced to be permanently closed!"

The author has something to say: "The Owl Jade Incident" is the last big event (chapters 186-190) of Liang Liang's previous article "Zi Ye Owl". level. All the thirteen levels in "Zi Ye Owl" are the "cultivation area" collectively referred to by the gatekeepers at the end of this chapter. Therefore, the time points of the two articles are now connected~~=w=
