Those years when I was taken away by the boss

Shu Shi walked for a long time, opened many rooms, met many people, and even saw NPCs, but he couldn't find the meeting point, and he didn't meet Zhong Ruji either.

He said silently in his heart not to be impetuous, and by the way summed up the patterns he saw.

Walking in these small rooms, walking in the same direction, the three rooms must face the black wall, but no matter whether you walk horizontally or vertically, you can only go to the ninth room at most, and it is not impossible to go out. But he doesn't recommend comparing your head to a wall for being stronger.

Shu Shi thought about something, made a note after cleaning the room, and then continued to walk elsewhere.

Through high-intensity training, his sense of direction has improved a lot, and he can walk out of the maze training ground even if he stumbles, especially in places where there are doors open and you can walk around.

It's just a little weird...

The lines in my mind are still extending, and the complete graph has not yet been drawn.

"Four doors, no black..." Shu Shi pushed the door open, and the prediction he spoke matched the environment of the room.

He said thoughtfully: "It's another central point."

Several guesses confirmed one by one, he can almost judge the basic framework of this space.

There was a person in dark blue clothing in the room, and Shu Shi knew it was an NPC without even looking.

This time there were many NPCs in the space, and he walked all the way to meet no less than ten of them. They were all in dark blue with different numbers on their shoulders.

The NPC was almost the same as a real person, and when he saw him looking over, he smiled and was very polite.

Shu Shi knew that he had already circled around the outside twice, and if there was no accident, he would go three rooms further and return to his room.

He made small marks in each room, and exited when he encountered duplicates.

Because of the habit of bringing a pen and paper, Shu Shi also conveniently filled in the blanks with the number on the NPC's shoulder while drawing the picture.

He pushed two doors, and as expected, he saw the mark he had made.

So he backed out and went in another direction to another room.

The location of the NPC distribution is irregular, they will not take the taskers to the assembly point, they just stay in the room and don't go anywhere.

There are also surprisingly many taskers this time, at least twenty or more... I don't know if there are other things mixed in.

Shu Shi leaned against the wall and didn't go to other rooms for the time being. He bit the pen cap and added a 9x9 next to the scribbled handwriting.

He walked through most of the 81 rooms, and he was not close to the center yet.

The NPC hovering in front of the door glanced at him several times, but was willing not to come forward and say a word to him.

What makes Shu Shi interesting is that these NPCs have their own personalities, some are polite to others, and some are indifferent to others.

The Mr. NPC in front of him obviously didn't like to deal with people. He looked extremely disturbed, but he didn't leave the room.

It's like being trapped by something.

Shu Shi folded the paper between his fingers and walked towards the NPC.

The other party couldn't avoid it, clutching his shoulders and moving around, unwilling to approach him no matter what.

Shu Shi played cat and mouse wickedly for a while, and when he had enough, he blocked people in the corner.

Shu Shi pinned the pen to his chest pocket, and then tried to push away the NPC's hand covering the number plate: "Sorry, I just want a number, I'll offend you first."

The NPC was tightly blocked, hugging himself helplessly, as if frightened: "You, don't touch me..."

Shu Shi paused for a while, and glanced at his blocking posture.

His left hand was on the side of his head, and his right hand was already on his shoulder. In order to prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to escape, he even pressed his right knee against the other party's leg.

It seems that there is indeed something... wrong, coupled with the tone and words of the NPC, Shu Shi will feel that he is doing something bad.

Fortunately, there was no one here, and he didn't want to be misunderstood for plotting against the NPC.

Shu Shi breathed a sigh of relief silently, and slowed down his tone: "Don't move, I'll be fine soon."

He went to grab the NPC's hand again, and the other party shook even more.

"Let go, don't...don't touch me..."

Shu Shi: "..." Can you make it sound like he did something?

Shu Shi was speechless, but he could hear the door being opened.

A pleasant but chilly male voice came over: "What are you doing?"

Shu Shi's first impression was that the voice was so familiar, and his second impression was that it was too late to have a second impression.

He almost bounced off, throwing up his hands to prove his innocence: "I didn't do anything, I swear."

Zhong Ruji glanced at the man squatting along the corner of the wall, and said indifferently: "He seems to be wronged."

The NPC was crying, as if it had been ruined.

Shu Shi: "...I am also very wronged."

He really didn't see that this was a showman, if he knew it earlier, he wouldn't provoke him, he obviously didn't do anything, and he didn't even see the number!

Zhong Ruji raised his legs and walked over, the NPC in the corner was instantly covered by gray shadows.

This NPC can't be touched, he hides when people get close to him, Shu Shi looked at his crying appearance, and was inexplicably poked at the point of laughter.

Shu Shi stood two or three steps away, as if preparing to watch the excitement: "Now it seems that you are more like the one who bullied others than me."

Zhong Ruji is not the one who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, let alone the one crying to him is an NPC.

He watched the other party burst into tears, his expression remained unchanged, with an indifferent and heartless look.

Shu Shi didn't think it was a big deal, he held back a smile and said, "If you touch someone, you have to be responsible. You can't just give them their innocence."

Zhong Ruji: "..."

He turned his head and glanced, and said, "Don't you look at his numbers?"

That's certainly something to watch.

Shu Shi took out a pen and paper, ready to write down numbers.

Zhong Ruji was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to the NPC.

After finishing, the NPC hid in the corner opposite them, squatting there pitifully.

Shu Shi glanced at the corner, handed the paper to Zhong Ruji, and said with a smile, "Are all high-level NPCs this interesting?"

Zhong Ruji followed suit and said, "It's all fake."

"I know, with nature, maybe tomorrow will be different," Shu Shi said, "But it's still interesting to watch an NPC act, he is quite handsome."

Zhong Ruji paused holding the pen, raised his eyelids and glanced at the NPC again.

There were no tables and chairs in the room, so Shu Shi half leaned against the wall and said, "This time the space seems to be a bright game, and everything will be clear after walking around."

The number on Zhong Ruji's shoulder was also 7. Shu Shi only met two people with the same number as him along the way, and one of them was an NPC.

Numbers are not numbers and are not unique.

Shu Shi: "The biggest number I've ever seen is 9, and there are exactly nine small houses in each area. Although I haven't gone to the middle yet, there are traces of the environmental laws here, and I can know what it is like without going there. of."

Zhong Ruji was pinching the piece of paper, in fact, it was already filled with Shu Shi's ideas, but it was too concise and abstract, and I don't know what he wanted to express if he had changed his personal designation.

He followed the signs, so he naturally knew that Shu Shi had never been to the central area.

"You should go to the central area to have a look." Zhong Ruji said.

"Huh? Is there any clue?" Shu Shi looked over, he didn't intend to look around anymore.

"No," Zhong Ruji handed over the folded paper, and pinned the pen to him again, and then said flatly, "That's the meeting point."

Shu Shi: "..."

He circled the longest circle twice, thinking that everyone had to gather at the meeting point this time.

"You can tell by the mark that you are wrong, otherwise I would have just waited there." Zhong Ruji continued.

The mark made by Shu Shi is very recognizable, it is a small cross.Individuals have their own notation habit, his notation is neither long nor short, it will always be the same length, Zhong Ruji has been familiar with it for a long time.

Shu Shi was messy: "The central area is the meeting point??"

Doesn't this directly overturn what he just said?Is he taking it for granted?

"Yes, and no." Zhong Ruji said, "If you count them as meeting points, then there are nine meeting points."

Shu Shi: "..."

Zhong Ruji: "The nine rooms have food, and each room has NPCs."

Shu Shi was quiet for a while, and finally said: "Then my direction should be correct."

Zhong Ruji smiled imperceptibly, and tapped the back of his hand: "Let's go, go get the bag. Everyone else is looking for the center, and you are the only one hanging around the edge."

Shu Shi couldn't refute, but still couldn't help but whispered: "They have to be like me when they come back after taking the things."

Zhong Ruji paused and looked sideways at him.

Shu Shi pursed his lips, "I'm very good, I didn't say anything" written all over his face.

Zhong Ruji had nothing to do with him, he could only say: "Don't be the one who placed orders at any time, I told you many times."

When Shu Shi was groping, he also found that he was alone. The longer he spent, the harder it was for him to see other taskers, and there were almost no one behind.

but……

"I'm not on an order, didn't you come to see me?" Shu Shi was confident and confident, "If I'm on an order, then you're also on an order with me."

Zhong Ruji looked at him: "Next time you place an order, I won't look for it."

Shu Shi asked back: "Aren't you afraid that I will be left alone?"

Zhong Ruji said: "Not afraid."

Shu Shi also said: "Okay, then next time we will play our own way."

……

The two people's voices faded away, and the copper door was locked again with a "click". The NPC in the room slowly stood up, covering the number plate on his shoulder expressionlessly, and glanced coldly at the door before closing it.
