I became popular after participating in a high-IQ variety show

Jin Zhuofeng's cooking is not complicated, it's just seafood porridge, not high in calories, so it doesn't hurt to eat a few bites as a snack.

After entering the house, Jin Zhuofeng poured a cup of hot water for Lu Yan, told him to sit in the living room and wait, and went to the kitchen to serve seafood porridge by himself.

Lu Yan took advantage of this gap to carefully look at the decoration of the house.

This is the first time he has come to Jin Zhuofeng's house, the boss's house is very... boring.

It's the kind that at first glance, you will feel simple and elegant, but if you look closely, you will feel that this person deliberately leans in the direction of simplicity, so as to give people the impression that he is a calm person.

Jin Zhuofeng came out with the porridge, happened to see him looking around, and asked with a light smile, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the decoration of the house."

Jin Zhuofeng put the porridge in front of him, "Then what do you see?"

I think you're putting on a good show.

Without changing his face, Lu Yan violated his conscience and said, "I think you have great taste."

Jin Zhuofeng couldn't help laughing, "You said this out of conscience."

Lu Yan lowered his head and drank the porridge without saying a word, which was a tacit consent.

The two were silent, one was eating with his head down, and the other was watching the other eating while resting his chin, the scene was inexplicably harmonious.

Jin Zhuofeng stared at Lu Yan's hair, and suddenly asked, "Since when did your relationship with Jian Qi get so good?"

Lu Yan paused and looked up at him, "Why do you say that?"

"In the show, I think you two are quite close."

Lu Yan remembered that the two of them were hiding in the closet together before, when Jian Qi suddenly approached him.

He shrunk his neck subconsciously and shook his head, "No, the relationship between the two of us has not been very good. It may be because I haven't done much work recently. He was moved, or it may be because the recording program needs to act."

Jin Zhuofeng leaned against the back of the sofa and smiled, "You are so honest."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Don't talk about me, the two of you have a good relationship."

He didn't forget that the ultimate prop is mainly to describe the socialist brotherhood between the two.

Hearing what he said, the smile on Jin Zhuofeng's face subsided a little.

He said lightly: "Who did you listen to?"

Lu Yan tilted his head, "Isn't it?"

If the relationship is not good, how can we develop brotherhood?

"It's just that we have filmed together before," Jin Zhuofeng said: "Or if you think that we have a good relationship by sending a group of blessings on WeChat during the New Year and holidays, and then replying to a group of blessings on WeChat, and occasionally likes in Moments. of."

Lu Yan: "...Oh."

Maybe the relationship is not good now, because the time has not come yet.

Jin Zhuofeng didn't want to discuss that Jane with Lu Yan at all, so he changed the subject, "I think you are quite courageous, the atmosphere of recording the show should be quite scary, you don't seem to be afraid at all."

"Those are all fakes."

In the game, he still punches a real ghost, let alone a human being.

"Some people are afraid of fake ones." Jin Zhuofeng said: "Horror movies are also fake, and horror-themed escape rooms are also fake, but people are still afraid. People's fear will not change just because they know the truth."

"The essence of fear is actually because your subconscious mind thinks that what you are afraid of is stronger than you and will hurt you. If you can correct your mentality, you will not be afraid even if it is true."

"Just like some people are afraid of bugs, if your subconscious mind only has the idea of ​​'I can step on it with a light foot', people who are afraid of bugs may only feel disgusted when they see bugs."

"So, your mind is still strong enough."

After hearing these words, Lu Yan was completely stunned.

He remembered that when he was in the game, he was stuck in the dungeon because he was afraid of ghosts, and Ajin also said similar things to him.

Jin Zhuofeng added: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. You don't have to take it too seriously. It's just that you are a little scared when you see other guests recording the show. You are not afraid, just express your feelings."

And after the dungeon was cleared, Ah Jin said the same thing.

He said that what he said in the game was fallacious, and he just wanted to cheer him up.

Lu Yan frowned, and looked at Jin Zhuofeng fixedly, "Have you... changed your name?"

Jin Zhuofeng's eyes are exactly the same as Ah Jin's eyes, and now even the words express the same meaning.

If it's a coincidence, isn't it a coincidence?

"Me?" Jin Zhuofeng smiled, "No, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Lu Yan thought for a while, then asked again: "Then is there anyone with the surname Jin or the word Jin in the name?"

Jin Zhuofeng pondered for a while, "Your original manager, Gu Jinchao, does it count?"

Lu Yan: "..."

Forget it, he probably thought too much.

When the ultimate item was released, the game said that the world in the book is a brand new world, and A Jin must return to his original world after finishing the game. Jin Zhuofeng’s guess is really a coincidence.

Jin Zhuofeng was good at cooking, and Lu Yan ate up that bowl of seafood porridge.

After supper, Lu Yan said goodbye to his boss and returned home.

After the game came out, maybe because life was too busy these days, or maybe it was because there were not so many good memories left in the game, Lu Yan has never dreamed of a scene related to the game.

But tonight, it was an unprecedented dream.

It was an old courtyard house, the walls were torn and peeled off, and there were spider webs at the corners. When the wind blew, the door of the courtyard house opened a small crack and made a 'squeak' sound.

Lu Yan approached from a distance and stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

There were already a few people standing at the door, all of them were holding a mobile phone incompatible with the style of the courtyard house, with secretive expressions on their faces.

After Lu Yan stood still, several people's mobile phones made a 'ding' sound at the same time, and then a mechanical female voice came from the mobile phone.

"The players are here, the game is about to start, please get ready!"

"The game is loading..."

"The loading is complete, I wish all players good results!"

The people at the door put away their mobile phones, opened the door, and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was very large, and a stage was set up on the left side. Because there was no one there for a long time, a thick layer of soil fell on the stage.

Several players split up to find clues. Lu Yan was a little scared by the terrifying atmosphere, so instead of searching the room, he chose to go to the stage that was exposed to the outside and was not closed.

He guessed that there must be danger in any place in the game, so he took the knife out of his backpack before going on stage.

But he didn't expect that this stage would be so dangerous.

From the moment he stepped on the stage, it was as if he had stepped on some mechanism, stepped into some kind of illusion, and the environment around him changed all of a sudden.

The courtyard is still desolate, but it has become full of people.

The originally empty courtyard was suddenly filled with 'people', who wore clothes from the Qing Dynasty and had long braids.

Their faces were pale and blue, their movements were stiff, expressionless, and they stared straight at the stage.

Suddenly, the opera sounded, and the voice of singing was right next to his ears.

With that shrill voice, he felt that the blood in his whole body was coagulated.

He tried desperately to run, but his feet seemed to be nailed and he couldn't move.

Lu Yan turned his head back uncontrollably, and saw the performers on the stage.

It was a woman in a costume, no, not a woman, but a female ghost.

The female ghost's eyes were gouged out, leaving only two black eye sockets, and blood dripped continuously from the two black frames.

Her tongue was also pulled out, and as the singing mouth opened and closed, the dark mouth was also exposed... There was an eye deep in her throat!

Lu Yan's head was forced to turn around, and his eyes met the huge eye hidden in his throat.

The tune stopped immediately, and the eye was bent for a moment, and then the female ghost pinched her throat and asked him in a playful tone: "Young master, can you dance with the little girl."

Then the female ghost's long sleeves flew towards him, tightly strangling his neck.

Lu Yan tugged on the long sleeves around his neck, but the sleeves did not show any signs of loosening, on the contrary, they became tighter and tighter.

He felt that the things in front of him were gradually blurring, and his thoughts were drifting out uncontrollably, as if his soul was about to be separated from his penis.

Are you going to die?

Lu Yan's hand couldn't use any strength and drooped uncontrollably.

Just when he felt that he was going to confess here today, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the sound of sharp knives cutting through the air rang in his ears.

In the next second, the feeling of suffocation disappeared, and a large amount of air poured into his lungs. Lu Yan covered his neck and bent down, breathing in the hard-won air.

There was a short fighting sound in his ear, and then Lu Yan felt a force grabbing his hand, and he was pulled and ran wildly.

He was still a little dizzy, but judged by his feeling that the person pulling him was not dangerous, and ran wildly with this person with the instinct of survival.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the two of them gradually stopped.

Lu Yan panted and looked up, and found that he was still standing in the courtyard.

The stage was empty, and so was the stage below, as if the female ghost singing and the ghost listening to the opera just now were illusions.

Lu Yan looked at the man beside him. The man had an ordinary face, but his eyes were ridiculously beautiful.

He was tall, more than half a head taller than himself, and he was looking down at him at this moment.

Lu Yan said to him, "Thank you."

The man said, "You're welcome."

Lu Yan introduced himself: "My name is Lu... Lu, what's your name?"

The man raised his eyebrows at him, "Lulu? Can I drink it?"

Lu Yan: "?"

"It's not like there's a drink called Lulu Almond Milk."

Lu Yan: "..."

The man chuckled, "Sorry, it doesn't seem suitable to make such jokes now, you can call me Ajin."

Lu Yan: "Okay, Ah Jin."

A Jin added: "This kind of supernatural dungeon is not very difficult, mainly because it is scary. If you calm down, you can pass it easily."

Lu Yan frowned, "But those are real ghosts, how could they not be afraid."

"Are you afraid of rabbits?" Ajin didn't answer, but asked this sentence instead.

Lu Yan shook his head, "Not afraid."

"Rabbits are real too, why aren't you afraid?"

Lu Yan opened his mouth, unable to utter a rebuttal.

Just... don't be afraid, there is no reason.

"Because in your subconscious mind, it is impossible for rabbits to cause harm to you." A Jin said: "People are three points afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven points afraid of people. If you can calm down and treat ghosts like rabbits, then you There is no fear in looking at it, only nausea at most."

"In this way, this copy will not be difficult for you."

Lu Yan frowned sleepily, turned his head slightly, and the scene in the dream changed accordingly.

It was still the courtyard, with a few people standing at the door.

There were fewer people than in the first dream, and the expressions on everyone's faces were much uglier.

The phone screen lit up, and the mechanical girl came again.

"Congratulations, players, for clearing the level!"

"The points are being cleared..."

"Points have been issued to the accounts of each player, please pay attention to check!"

Lu Yan turned off his phone after seeing the points, and Ah Jin appeared again.

He said, "Student Almond Dew, congratulations on clearing the level."

"You too."

A Jin said: "What I said in the game just now is all made up, just to cheer you up, you don't have to take it too seriously."

The dungeon is over, and the passage back to the game hall has been opened. A Jin glanced at the bright road in the distance, waved to him, and said, "Let's go first, see you in the next dungeon."

Ajin's back was getting further and further away, and Lu Yan suddenly felt uneasy.

He ran towards Ah Jin, trying to hold him back, but found that the further he ran, the further away Ah Jin was from him.

"Akin!"

Lu Yan woke up suddenly and sat up directly from the bed.

It was still dark outside, and the room was very quiet, except for the sound of the second hand moving.

He wiped the cold sweat off his brow, picked up his phone and glanced at it.

6: 10.

This dream made him sleepless, so Lu Yan turned on his phone and checked the messages.

Among a lot of APP push messages, he picked up two useful ones.

One is that the 500 million paid by Yuyue has arrived, and the other is the news from the "High IQ Genius" program team that the second episode of the program will be recorded on Monday next week.

Lu Yan transferred back the [-] that he borrowed from Jin Zhuofeng earlier, and thanked him.

After the transfer, but did not exit the dialog box.

From the time he came out of the game to the present... no, from the time he got into the game in a car accident to the present, he has always been alone.

His parents, relatives, friends and classmates are all in his original world.

After participating in the game for three years and coming to the book for nearly half a year, there are always passers-by around me.Even now, he is only one person.

In these long three and a half years, the only person who can be called a friend is Ah Jin.

The grace of saving lives, the friendship of life...

Lu Yan slowly leaned against the head of the bed.

He really misses Ah Jin a little bit.

The screen was still on, and Lu Yan looked at the chat dialog box between him and the boss.

Speaking of which, Jin Zhuofeng really looks like Ah Jin, and he has felt so more than once.

After lying on the bed for a while, Lu Yan really didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he got up and made breakfast.

While the noodles were being cooked, the phone rang, and it was Jin Zhuofeng who ordered to collect the money.

The noodle soup in the pot was gurgling, Lu Yan stared at his phone for a while, and poured a handful of more noodles into the pot.

The boss's eyes are so beautiful, he decided to cook a breakfast for the boss.
