The Sims Real World

"Long time no see, Zhou Yuan."

The two were led to a remote dining table, which was no different from other dining tables with white tablecloths and flower clusters. Sitting in front of two standing guards in black was an old man with gray hair and beard. gentlemen.

"En." Zhou Yuan exclaimed, but Lin Xi was stunned: "Who is this?"

"The teacher of my former team." Zhou Yuan introduced to Lin Xi.

Now Lin Xi was even more confused. The previous team, that is, the team of 7 people who came to this world together?Isn't that the same person as Andrew and Newman?

"Haha, I'm really flattering the teacher, I'm just a little old in the team." The old man answered the words and smiled contentedly.

When Zhou Yuan first met the old man, his expression was very indifferent, but Lin Xi became cautious after discovering Zhou Yuan, after a few words of conversation, this was not a meeting of old friends after all.

"Teacher, you..." Zhou Yuan wanted to say something.

The boy next to him was silently watching the conversation. Lin Xi looked at Zhou Yuan, thinking that this fellow was still so polite and humble.

"Are you older than before?" The old man squinted at Zhou Yuan, as if he could see through everything.

Zhou Yuan froze for a moment, and chose to remain silent.

"Come to my house tomorrow for a chat, today I just came to meet." The old man shook the crutch in his hand and said.

But Zhou Yuan didn't give an answer. It's completely unclear whether it's an enemy or a friend, even if it's the teacher who was respected by the previous team...

"Don't worry, my grandpa just asked you to sit and have fun." The boy next to him suddenly said a few words and smiled kindly.

"Grandpa?" Zhou Yuan frowned slightly and looked at the old man in surprise.

"En." The old man coughed twice: "Yes, let's talk about it tomorrow. There are a lot of people today, and today's starlets shouldn't be so serious here." After speaking, he looked at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi didn't expect that the topic would suddenly come to him, and he was a little at a loss. In fact, this old man didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. If it was Lin Xi himself, he might have run over, but it's still a bit strange to be angry now. Lin Xi didn't want to say what.

"Okay." Zhou Yuan finally made a decision, raised his head and said seriously.

"Okay." The old man nodded with a serious demeanor, and the boy next to him also smiled, feeling very happy.

It was a restless night.

Although everything was the same as usual, the sudden appearance of Zhou Yuan's teacher about the Sphinx made people feel that everything was too sudden.

"Zhou Yuan, I think there is something wrong with your teacher's invitation." Lin Xi sat down at the table seriously and said after waiting for Zhou Yuan to contact Andrew.

"Yes." Zhou Yuan replied affirmatively.

"Then go?" Lin Xi recalled the previous experience, with unwillingness written on his face.

"You don't have to go." Zhou Yuan put the phone on the table, looked at Lin Xi seriously and added: "To be precise, I don't want you to go."

"No, I'll go." Lin Xi's eyes showed the same seriousness.

The old man's house is not in the city center, but in a remote suburb, maybe because his house, no, his manor occupies too much area.

Surrounded by the farm was a three-story building. From a distance, Lin Xi thought of a cathedral, ancient and mysterious.

But the expected things didn't seem to happen. Two rows of bodyguards came together, and Zhou Yuan's teacher was in the middle, who was dressed in a retro European style. Maybe it was because of his clothes, he didn't feel as old as yesterday.

On the second floor, the tall floor-to-ceiling windows let in the bright sunshine, the heavy curtains were tied to one side, and the comfortable sofa with afternoon tea was quite cozy.

"So why did the teacher ask us to come here?" Zhou Yuan didn't touch the tea in front of him.

The old man naturally picked up the tea in front of him: "Don't you think it's very comfortable here?"

The boy next to him, the so-called grandson of the old man, added a few cubes of sugar to the tea and did not stir it. He leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, did not speak, and just quietly looked at the people in front of him.

"Zhou Yuan."

"teacher."

After a pause, the two spoke at the same time.

"You talk first." The teacher put down the tea tray.

"It's better for the teacher to talk first." Zhou Yuan sat upright, looking really like a student.

The old man looked a little hesitant: "Zhou Yuan, what are you going to do next?"

To be honest, this is really a very central question, something that even Lin Xi has not figured out, it seems that every time Lin Xi wants to understand, Zhou Yuan has vagued it.

"At least Newman must be controlled." Zhou Yuan spat out these words.

"Kill everyone and go home like him?" The teacher didn't know if it was an unintentional joke or something, and suddenly said such a trembling sentence.

"How is it possible?" Zhou Yuan replied in a hurry, slightly angry.

Lin Xi looked at the exchange between the two of them and felt as if he had never seen Zhou Yuan like this before. It seemed that this old man really convinced Zhou Yuan. At least the old man was not a bad person.

"Oh." The old man just replied in a low voice, waiting for Zhou Yuan to finish.

"Aren't you going to help us?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"Me?" The old man held the crutch beside him in his hand and knocked on the ground with a muffled sound. He replied ruthlessly, "Not ready."

"Why?" Zhou Yuan's tone was full of surprise.

The young man next to him looked at Lin Xi and Zhou Yuan, and smiled lightly. Everyone could hear the sarcasm in it. It was different from the well-behaved and polite young man who felt a little ignorant of the world yesterday.

"This is not the old man, your grandson." Lin Xi interrupted suddenly.

"Haha." The old man smiled, noncommittal, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"You guys are too boring." The boy stood up suddenly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, Jack, be polite." The old man seemed to be a little annoyed, but the boy just smiled: "I don't need you, old man, don't forget the agreement between us. It’s necessary to pretend.” He pushed open the door heavily and went out, leaving a cup of tea untouched.

After waiting for the sound of the door being slammed shut to disappear, the old man showed an apologetic expression, and Zhou Yuan asked, "So he came from reality?

Lin Xi was still angry at the boy's words just now, if it wasn't for the face of Zhou Yuan and the kind-looking old man, Lin Xi still wanted to scold him back.

"En." The old man glanced at Lin Xi.

For Zhou Yuan and their seven researchers, in the gradual acquaintance, Zhou Yuan and Lin Xi also found that each researcher will meet a realistic new player and easily become a partner, at least Lin Xi and Zhou Yuan, Andrew and Yan Jixuan is like this, although Newman and the mysterious woman beside him don't know, but if there is a real person, they will be controlled by Newman. Now the situation of the old man further confirms the suspicion of the two.

"Then what are your plans, teacher?" Zhou Yuan didn't bother with the boy anymore, and asked the question the teacher had raised before.

"I have no intention." The old man reached out to touch the teacup, but he didn't take it, he just pushed the tea tray into the coffee table a little.

For some reason, Lin Xi thought it might be such an answer from the very beginning, but Zhou Yuan didn't seem to expect it. He stood up excitedly and said, "No, what do you mean!"

The old man put his crutches aside, and looked at Zhou Yuan with a serious look: "Zhou Yuan, I'm getting old, and I don't have a long lifespan when I go back, and I'll be busy all my life, but here..."

Lin Xi suddenly thought of a game in which it is said that there is something called fairy grass that can live a long life, and suddenly thought of Sphinx, but he also learned to be silent.

"Does the teacher really think so? Doesn't the teacher know that these are all fake?" Zhou Yuan shouted at the old man a little angrily.

"I don't think so." The old man looked at Zhou Yuan very seriously, and said solemnly.

I have to say that Lin Xi seemed to have a deep understanding of why some people can give up so much for the game and even kill and set fire.

"Can't he?" Zhou Yuan looked in the direction of the door.

"No." The old man smiled wryly: "Even less, he is a genius, and he was not recognized in the previous world. This is what he wants."

Zhou Yuan pursed his lips, sighed, and didn't seem to know what to say: "At least stop Newman."

"I don't want to participate. His target is you, and he still doesn't pose a threat to me." The teacher looked at Zhou Yuan helplessly again.

"So teacher, you are worried about us threatening you, so you made an appointment at your house today?" Lin Xi interjected.

"Yes." The old man moved his hand, and the furniture in the house suddenly moved. In this game, the player's house can change its structure by itself, even if there are other people in the house, this is really quite scary.

"How did you become like this?" Zhou Yuan felt a little at a loss, and shouted unwillingly at the old man in front of him, but the old man in front of him just lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

"If you can persuade Annie and the others, I will help you." The old man suddenly handed over a piece of paper, which looked like an address.

"Annie?" Lin Xi asked a little strangely.

"Research partner." The old man added.

Lin Xi felt that she couldn't turn the corner at all. What the hell, there was a message from two people within two days, but she couldn't find it after searching for so long.

Zhou Yuan took the address impatiently, and added, "You don't have to make things difficult for me if you don't want to cooperate."

But the old man still just smiled, and Lin Xi asked as if thinking of something: "Then why did you come to us yesterday, wouldn't it be better not to tell us your whereabouts?"

"Huo Huo, the young man is quite smart." The old man gave him an appreciative look, and only at this time, Lin Xi seemed to see the respected teacher Zhou Yuan admired.

"A rainstorm is coming, I think I should remind the student I admire the most." The old man gave Zhou Yuan a meaningful look, got up and walked out of the room.

In addition to leaving behind the same heavy closing sound as the boy, he only said two words in the end: "No."
