The Midnight Owl

"The boss told me that there is a dialect here called 'Don't eat sour for three days, walk to salvage', so if you come to Guizhou, you must order this dish of fish in sour soup!"

"What? How come there is a location? I just followed me at first glance... Hey, thank you for helping me answer this 'order takeout and chop your hands'. Yes, my old money has already broken through Beijing City and traveled to the whole of China It's..."

"Come back to business, I ordered two kinds of fish today. The one on my left is carp, and the one on my right is catfish..."

There was a huge round table for ten people, Brother Qian occupied the southern hemisphere alone, while Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Kuang Jinxin and Chi Yingxue all stayed in the northern hemisphere.

So far, everyone has become accustomed to entering the "live broadcast mode" automatically as soon as they eat.

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng were discussing the next level by themselves, completely undisturbed; Kuang Jinxin watched Qian Ai's live broadcast while eating, as if he was a loyal audience.

Kuang Jinxin used to eat in the school cafeteria, and always liked to sit under the TV. He felt that if there was no TV, he would just watch his mobile phone while eating.But since breaking through the barrier, once it's meal time, just watch Qian Ai. Qian Ai alone is more lively than TV dramas.Every time watching Qian Ai feasting and interacting with veterans at the same time, Kuang Jinxin felt very happy, and occasionally sneaked into the live broadcast room to be an anonymous little fan.

Chi Yingxue doesn't care about the "background music" for eating, as long as he doesn't want to talk about it, everything around him is equivalent to non-existent, and it can't cause any interference to him at all.

But today, for the first time, he became curious.

Because Kuang Jinxin was looking at Qian Ai.Whenever Qian Ai shared a joke with the veterans, he would also join in the fun, which was very entertaining.From Chi Yingxue's perspective, he could only see his side face, but he still thought it looked good.

So Chi Yingxue became very curious, wanted to see what this "live broadcast" was, and even began to think seriously about making "Chi Yingxue eats Shenzhou", if it would make Kuang Jinxin smile at him every day.

Chi Yingxue always thought about it, so she did it.

In the blink of an eye, he got up and went to Lao Qian's side, carefully looking at the phone to find out.

For fans of "Old money eats China", it is a strange man who falls from the sky and enters the painting in a second.

Then, the studio went crazy.

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 】

[3 minutes, I want all the information on this man! ! 】

[Brother Qian, if it weren't for your comparison, I would have thought the perfect filter was on! ! ! 】

【…】

That night, Qian Ai knew for the first time that he had so many female fans who had been diving for thousands of years.

That night, Chi Yingxue inexplicably became the substitute anchor, and he didn’t need to talk, just eat fish, so he ate in silence for half an hour, and brought the largest amount of traffic and rewards to “Old Money Eats Shenzhou” since its creation .

Back at the hotel, Chi Yingxue was still in a daze. First, he didn't remember the taste of fish in sour soup, and second, he didn't remember whether Xiao Sijin looked at him or smiled. He only remembered the dazzling gifts on the screen, and The frantic swiping of messages made me feel more and more that live broadcast is really an unfathomable field.

It was at this time that Chi Zhuolin's call came.

"Where are you going next?" As soon as he spoke, President Chi went straight to the point.

Chi Yingxue quickly called up the information her team bought from Mr. Fan from her memory: "Jiangxi."

12/23, in Jiangxi.

Chi Zhuolin has adapted to this style of jumping tour: "When are you leaving?"

Chi Yingxue: "Not yet."

Chi Zhuolin: "Okay, send me the specific address after booking, and I will arrange the hotel and pick-up."

Chi Yingxue: "Oh."

It is Chi's good character to never push things that make him comfortable.

Usually the phone call here should be over. Chi Zhuolin also waited for his brother to hang up the phone as always, but after waiting for a long time, he was still there.

Chi Zhuolin raised his eyebrows sharply: "Huh?"

"Chi Zhuolin..." Sure enough, the other side spoke quietly.

Mr. Chi, who had already taken a shower and went to bed, sat up straight unconsciously, and then heard the phone asking: "Am I lonely?"

"..." President Tangtangchi was stopped by the question.

If Chi Yingxue asked "Are you lonely", he could barely examine his own heart, but what his brother asked was "Am I lonely", this question is too advanced.

"Did something happen to you?" President Chi couldn't answer such a mysterious question, but instantly grasped the essence through the appearance.

Lying on the bed, Chi Yingxue raised one arm and put it on her forehead, covering the glare light above the ceiling: "I want to talk to someone about friends, but he doesn't want to talk to me."

President Chi's hands trembled, and the phone fell onto the bed. Fortunately, the bed was soft enough to not make any noise.

Taking a deep breath, he picked up the phone again, as if nothing happened, and asked calmly, "Why don't you want to talk to you?"

"He said I didn't like him, but that I was lonely." There was an imperceptible grievance in the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Then you are?" Chi Zhuolin couldn't sit still anymore, he asked, got out of bed, and paced back and forth in the bedroom instead.

Chi Yingxue paused for a moment and confessed: "I don't know."

The pacing made President Chi regain his composure a little bit, and the quick thinking in the past business battles gradually returned: "Okay, let me change the way of asking, why do you want to talk to him?"

Chi Yingxue: "After talking about a friend, he can always be by my side."

Chi Zhuolin: "Why do you want him to be by your side all the time?"

Chi Yingxue: "Comfortable."

Chi Zhuolin: "Are you comfortable or is he comfortable?"

Chi Yingxue: "..."

Chi Zhuolin: "If you make him feel comfortable, he will be yours."

Chi Yingxue was silent for a long time, and asked, "What should I do?"

Chi Zhuolin was stunned, because of the obvious weak tone, Chi Yingxue had never been like this since his father's death.

Distressed, but no matter how distressed, Chi Zhuolin still didn't let go: "It's up to you to think about it yourself."

As an elder brother, he can give his younger brother all the best things, but he hopes that his younger brother will become a man who can fight for whatever he wants.

Chi Yingxue has been trapped in childhood for too long, it's time to grow up.

At the end of the phone call, Chi Zhuolin asked, "What's his name?"

"Little Sijin." Chi Yingxue's tone seemed to be cheerful because of these three words.

Immediately, Chi Zhuolin's mind flashed that young man who had met several times face to face, who didn't talk much, but had a warm smile... He was stunned for a moment.I don't know whether to worry about my younger brother's deviation, or to be thankful that he didn't see any weird people.

When Chi Yingxue hung up the phone, Chi Zhuolin was still in a state of confusion, and the last thought that popped up was—from childhood to adulthood, whenever he met something he liked, he liked to give the other party random names , Chi Yingxue may not be able to change it.

……

When Chi Yingxue was trying to think about "how to make Xiao Sijin comfortable", across the wall, Captain Xu was taking stock of the remaining stationery in the team with Junshi Wu.

"Let's go to Endless Sea for a few more days." Wu Sheng looked at the stationery list on the paper and made a suggestion.

There is not much stationery left, and they are about to face 12/23. They would rather wait a few more days than go back and come back.

Xu Wang also had the same idea: "Communicate with them in a while, and if they agree, we will leave tomorrow."

There were still more than two hours before zero o'clock. Xu Wang went to bed after a simple wash, but after lying down, he felt that something was wrong. When he turned his head, he found Wu Sheng in the next bed, looking at him with his arms propped up, with a face of deep thought.

Xu Wang was taken aback by the look, and quickly asked, "What are you thinking?"

Wu Sheng said: "I was wondering if I caught up with you?"

Xu Wang was stunned: "Huh?"

Wu Sheng asked seriously: "I said I want to chase you, so did I catch up? Are we dating now?"

Xu Wang: "..."

I have kissed him eight hundred times, now I ask him if he is in a relationship? !

"I think it should be forgotten, you felt it when I kissed you." Wu Sheng looked at his face, raised the corners of his mouth, as if reminiscing, "You will hug me and respond to me..."

"Let's talk! Let's talk!" Xu Wang made a decision directly, lest the bastard say anything that makes people want to go underground!

"Really?" Wu Sheng's brows were filled with joy, only a magpie flew to dance on his brows.

Xu Wang was curious and funny, but also a little happy and sweet: "It's true."

Wu Sheng immediately lifted the quilt out of bed, and squeezed onto Xu Wang's single bed at the same speed as if he had used an accelerated armor.

Xu Wang only felt a gust of wind, and then he was hugged tightly by someone, and when he moved, the person hugged him even tighter, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"I don't do anything, I just want to hug you and sleep for a while." Wu Sheng whispered next to his ear, and gently brushed his earlobe with his lips.

Xu Wang shuddered.

Although Wu Sheng was not a sloppy character, it was rare for him to be so aggressive and active. Xu Wang always felt that he was inspired by something, or stimulated by someone, but the atmosphere was so good that he didn't want to ask.

After quietly embracing each other for a while, Wu Sheng felt that his breathing became rough, but he was about to enter the owl soon, and he was also afraid of scaring Xu Wang, so he didn't plan to take any further steps yet.

He regretted overestimating his willpower a bit, but the bed had already been squeezed up and people hugged him, so there was absolutely no reason to give up the position, so he tried to divert his attention, raised his hand and touched Xu Wang's head: " Can't sleep, let's talk."

He knew Xu Wang wasn't asleep.

Xu Wangtou leaned against his chest lightly, and murmured: "What did you say? You said how bad your personality was when you were in high school, and how annoying you were..."

Wu Sheng smiled: "Then you still like me, your vision is too bad."

Xu Wang curled his lips: "I sacrificed myself so that you won't harm others..."

Wu Sheng: "What do you like about me?"

Xu Wang: "..."

Wu Sheng: "Huh?"

Xu Wang gritted his teeth: "This classmate, it seems that you chased me..."

Wu Sheng shut up and stopped challenging the captain's authority. After a while, he said slowly, "What do you think about that choice?"

As soon as Xu Wang heard it, he knew what he was asking.

Since buying the information from Mr. Fan, no one has talked about this matter again, and it seems that they all agree that "you can leave early", but it seems that everyone can't help but think more.

Facing Wu Sheng, Xu Wang didn't want to hide it: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Wu Sheng understood clearly and hesitated, which proved that he had considered it: "Do you want to close the access to the first thirteen levels?"

Xu Wang gave a soft "hmm": "I hope no one will be sucked in again, but I don't know what the price of making this choice is..."

What if they were to stay in Owl forever?What about other, more tragic costs?

I don't know, that's why I'm afraid and hesitate.

"Then don't think about it, wait until 13/23, when everything is clarified, it's not too late to think about it." Wu Sheng helped him make a decision.

After a pause, he added another sentence, slowly and solemnly: "No matter what you choose, I will stay with you."

……

A week later, the five friends who had saved up some stationery left Endless Sea and arrived on 12/23.

According to Mr. Fan’s information, they will enter a small town celebrating Halloween in this level. In the festive atmosphere of “trick or treat”, they will arrest five fierce ghosts with different backgrounds, shapes, and skills, and finally send them to the town. Go to the church in the small town and focus on the exorcism ceremony.

The types of fierce ghosts are often updated. Mr. Fan met the "plasma type" back then. In the past two years, he has communicated with people who came to buy information. There are also "ghost type", "monster type", "werewolf type" and "blood family type". , "urban legend models", "high-tech models" and so on, there are really all kinds of styles, emerging in endlessly.
