Three buildings, basement one, No. 59.

Gin went down the stairs on the left side of the first floor to the basement floor. At the end of the corridor, he saw an iron door with two numbers "59" on it.

The door is locked, the lock is not rusted, the door is clean, there is no dust at all, and compared with other houses that have been obviously unoccupied for a long time, it is obvious that there are still people living there.

Gin used the key to open the door, and saw two pairs of slippers lined up side by side on the shoe rack next to the entrance, and a carpet was spread in front of the door for safe access. Looking up, there was a bright and clean living room in front of him.

Walking into the room, Gin felt a long-lost warmth and warmth, as if he had strayed into a family with an ordinary and happy life across time and space.

There was hot fruit tea on the coffee table, and the blankets and pillows on the sofa were piled up in a mess.There are several oil paintings hanging on the wall, and a vase of red plum blossoms that has just been put into the vase is placed on the windowsill.

Behind the living room is the kitchen, which is fully equipped with kitchen utensils, ingredients, seasonings, etc. There is also a pot of hot water on the cooking table, and the cutting board is washed and dried and stands beside the disinfection cabinet.

The door of the bedroom was ajar, Gin opened the door and walked in, the sun and the breeze whizzed in, he seemed to see someone lying in the messy quilt in a trance, and when he blinked again, he found it was just an illusion.

This is a "human" room, like a "home" in the literal sense. Although it is empty at this time, someone may come back at any time, making this place lively again.

Even though it was such a warm place, Gin felt a chill in his heart.

If he remembers correctly, this is Zhuang Wumei's private house, and Zhuang Wumei has been missing for five years, but why are there so many traces of life here.

Or traces of the lives of two people.

Slippers, cups, common tableware and other daily necessities are in pairs, all showing signs of being used. Although there are many kinds of books on the bookshelves, two different reading preferences can be seen from the wear and tear of the books.

There is a photo of two people in the photo frame on the bedside table. Even from the back view, it can be seen that the people in the photo are Su Fei and Zhuang Wumei.

Someone had gone to great lengths to create the illusion that neither occupant had left the house.

Of course, it may not be completely false, perhaps half of it is true.

Enduring the strong discomfort in his heart, he went around the inside and outside of the gin room. He didn't see anything scary, but he found a notepad among several business books on the second shelf.

Opening the notepad, the time marked on the first page was the end of November five years ago.

On November 29, there was a lot of wind and snow.

I have another memory on my wedding day.In that strange yet familiar memory, it was a man who stood in front of me and asked me to put a ring on him.He and my future wife have the same face, which makes it difficult for me to tell whether they are the same person or not.

Maybe... he used to disguise himself as a man to get close to me?

Seeing this, Gin knew that this day was the beginning of the fork in So Fei's memory.

Turning to the next page, the time has come three years later, but the date is the same date.

On November 29, there was a lot of wind and snow.

The detective who investigated him for me disappeared, and the housekeeper told me that only one investigation report was found in the hotel room where he stayed.

The first missing detective?

Gin continued to turn the pages.

A year later, on November 29, there was a combination of wind and snow.

This is the fifth detective, and he disappeared on the eve of the report, or the report is exactly the same as before. Except for that face, these detectives are useless. Could it be that the housekeeper hired someone based on his face?

On the next page, it is another year later, that is, yesterday of this year, also November 29.

On November 29, there was a lot of wind and snow.

Why, he is not him?Ah, I forgot, he was days late.

Seeing this, Qin Jiu suddenly felt cold all over his body.

It didn't snow last night, the only thing related to the wind and snow was the sound of the wind and snow that he heard before he was hypnotized.

So, the same day for five consecutive years, the same wind and snow, is this how it happened?

Qin Jiu closed the notepad, glanced back unexpectedly, and saw a person standing quietly by the door at some point.

He was startled.

Su Fei gathered her thin cloak, and stood by the door like a silent shadow, her expression was so calm that there was no wave, her eyes were like a pool of still water, indifferent and lonely, like a person exiled into the wilderness.

"I was a few hours late and didn't stop you."

Su Fei took a step forward, clearly looking like a sick and weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, but Qin Jiu's heart was shaken violently, and he subconsciously backed away.

Su Fei turned a blind eye to his reaction, and blindly followed her own arrangement: "You shouldn't be here yet. You're not him yet."

"you……"

Qin Jiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he grabbed the notepad tightly: "Did the nine detectives also find out here and then disappeared? They didn't have time to go back to the hotel, did they?"

The fact that they disappeared on the eve of the investigation results showed that they were the truth discovered at that time.

That's why everyone's missing nodes are so similar, just like their faces.

In fact, it doesn't matter which hotel you stay in.

"Why do you not only always arrive early, but also like to ask me similar questions? And you only change the number every time?" Su Fei frowned displeasedly, walked into the room slowly, and closed the door behind her back, "Follow my guidance Isn't it good to go? After going through the process, you can find my lover back, and the task will be completed naturally, why bother to be smart?"

"guide?"

Hearing this word, Qin Jiu finally understood why he always felt that he was falling into the trap set by others.

"All the clues you gave me, including the ones you gave me in the coffee shop opposite the new hotel last night, are they guides?"

"Otherwise? Your intelligence is all selective. On the one hand, you firmly believe in the saying that I have two sets of memories, but on the other hand, you can always jump out of the guidance and disrupt my plans."

Sophie approached Gin slowly, the small room was convenient for him to move around.

After he said this, Gin immediately asked in surprise: "Clipping..."

"Fake." Sophie smiled.

"Pei Yu and Zhang Ke..." Qin Jiu thought of the two people who made him believe in the existence of two sets of memories, "Their memories are also fake?"

"It's just an actor I'm looking for. The phone calls you made and the two rides in the car were all arranged by me." Su Fei's smile deepened a bit, revealing a weird pampering, "You guys, why did you What about love believing in the opposite of the whole world? Because that’s more romantic? When you see everyone is retrograde, shouldn’t you immediately realize that it’s you who is retrograde?”

That's right, using the white cat's reaction and Pei Yu and Zhang Ke's one-sided words to convince him of the two sets of memories, he used Zhang Ke's words to lure him to the old house of the dealer, and then "just happened" to meet the thief Jiang Tusu, and then He was led to the vicinity of the new hotel and got the second important evidence.

And this evidence made him go to the Su family's mansion again, and noticed the housekeeper of the Su family, which paved the way for Jiang Tusu's second guidance.

It is indeed a step by step calculation, interlocking.

Although Qin Jiu lost his temper due to calculations, he would not sit still. He turned his left hand behind him and threw away the jackknife: "Then the records in the notepad?"

"If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. I learned hypnosis, and I can hypnotize others as well as myself."

Su Fei smiled lightly, he was born handsome, but now his brows are stretched and he is smiling happily, but it is not pleasing to the eye.

"I only wake up on NO.30 in November every year. I am indeed in a hypnotic state at other times. Only when he comes back can I really wake up. But I tried nine times and used it for five years, but I still couldn't get him back Come."

"you……"

Su Fei's smile was still there, but her eyes gradually became cold: "It's really hateful, why can't you follow the guide? As long as one person finishes walking, as long as there is one...he will come back!..."

Before he finished speaking, Gin rushed towards him, grabbed his neck and pressed against the wall to restrain him.

"You... are indeed a lunatic!" Gin said while looking for something to tie him up. "Where are the detectives? They're all dead, right?"

His hands were strong and unrestrained, Su Fei's cheeks were red from being pinched, and it was difficult to breathe.

But Su Fei didn't rush, but pointed to the window with difficulty: "Listen... it's snowing, it's snowing..."

"What did you say..."

Now that Qin Jiu heard the word "snow", his scalp became numb, and he interrupted his words reflexively, but the next second, the sound of wind and snow hitting the window really sounded outside the window.

"you……"

He turned his head to look, and it wasn't snowing outside, but the sound was getting louder and louder, as if someone had installed a speaker in his mind to play the same piece of audio continuously, noisy, noisy, noisy...

illusory.

Suddenly, Qin Jiu saw a plum blossom floating in front of his eyes and falling into a person's hair.

The man was lying on the ground, his silver hair stretched out, as if he was in a deep sleep.

……

System prompt: 80.00% completion of the main task [Second Ring], and the [Normal Ending] has been unlocked.

System prompt: Rewards are being settled——

System prompt: Settlement completed.The host completes the main task of this world at the minimum level [50.00%], no merit, no reward, no punishment, but the lower limit of the completion of the main task in the next world will be raised to 60.00%.

System prompt: You can extract the world again, and change the perspective to complete the task again.

System prompt: Draw times 2/3.

Remarks: This time, he still didn't wait for his lover back.

……

In the real world, today is November 21.

When Gin woke up from the sofa, the calendar had turned over for two full months, but it had only been two days since he had spent all his time in the world of "Twin Stars".

The completion of the main task [Mind Stealer] is only 50.00%, which means that half of the story has not been excavated.Moreover, he mainly investigated in Tianxing Town, and had no experience in Double Star Town, which is also in the world name. This should be one of the reasons for the low degree of completion.

How should I put it, he doesn't care about the level of completion, but he is very concerned that his 50.00% completion is almost all from the "set" set by Su Fei.

There is a chance to go around that world again.

Gin sat up, shook his drowsy head, and stepped on his slippers to look for food in the kitchen.When he opened the refrigerator, his shoulders sank slightly, and it was the rabbit that had been out of the system again squatting on his shoulders.

"How is it? Isn't this puzzle-solving world interesting?" Rabbit twitched his ears, "The whole world is divided into two towns, and everyone who meets the 'detective' has his own story line and different perspectives." , different truths, intricate and huge amount of information. It's a pity that you only took one of the lines, and the ending is still ordinary."

Having said that, it patted Gin on the back of the head: "But it doesn't matter, after you complete the remaining three novice worlds, you can go back to Tianxing Double Star to experience other branches... If you don't want to wait so long, you can also take a look" The live game of Epoch Restorer, the newly opened version has a complete story built in, but I don’t know how much the players can dig out.”

"Are you advertising with me?" Gin squinted at it, and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator.

"Is it necessary for me to advertise? As soon as the news and preview of the second test were released, the SE forum was immediately boiling. In just two days, the number of reservations has exceeded one million."

The rabbit held its head high, with its claws on its hips, engraving "proud" into every rabbit fur.

"is it?"

Gin was noncommittal, and while drinking beer, he clicked into the SE forum, and sure enough, in the game area, he found the "Era Restorer" second test preview post that had been artificially pinned to the top for two days.

When I opened the post, the first thing that caught my eye was the opening date of the second test in bold font number three, which was tomorrow.Below the date is the archived account of the first test. The top ten accounts of the arena and the 11 accounts that triggered the only task in the whole server can log in normally, without having to start all over again, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the subsequent arena activities.

Below that is the content of this update and the full version of the second test PV, which has always been dark and weird, condensing the love story of Zhuang Wumei and Su Fei who went astray in 2 minutes, and has tens of millions of views.

This rabbit hit it by mistake, and actually came up with such a terrifyingly popular game. If there were a few more krypton gold gift packs or point cards in the mall, the flow would be astonishing.

On Gin's side, he was watching the PV absent-mindedly, thinking about the future profitability of the game. On the other side, Akai Shuichi had pre-downloaded and installed it, and watched the opening CG over and over again.

In the main story of the two stars in the sky, Zhuang Wumei disappeared five years ago, and she is probably gone. Therefore, So Fei became a complete lunatic, obsessed with letting the detective who has the same face as Zhuang Wumei Find out their past along the investigation track, implant memories into their minds with hypnotic techniques at the right time, and achieve the ending of "finding the lover".

Qin Jiu speculates that one of the endings of this story line is that the detective has the memory of Zhuang Wumei after being hypnotized many times, completes his mission in an alternative way, and then stays with Su Fei as a human figure.

With Su Fei's madness, this ending is definitely not a comedy, because he knows very well that what is fake is fake, and the real Zhuang Wumei will not come back, so after he "gets what he wants", maybe the person who died There will be more, even himself.

In short, no matter how the ending changes, the story itself is a tragedy.

But Gin knew this very well, but Akai Shuichi didn't.

When Rabbit made the PV, he intentionally released only the past of Zhuang Wumei and Su Fei. They met, got acquainted, and connected. Although the filters and music are weird and dark, the beauty created is shattered, but there is still room for redemption. artistic conception.

Akai Hideichi sat in front of the computer, watched Zhuang Wumei and Su Fei, who were similar in appearance and temperament to Gin, flirt with each other on the screen, and crushed several beer cans expressionlessly, which were more sour than the lemons in Old Salt Lemonade.

But the acid turned to acid, which did not prevent him from choosing the "Su Fei" perspective at the beginning, and fulfilling his dream of finding his "sweetheart" back in the game himself.

"A game..."

Akai Shuichi let out a long breath, and said calmly: "Just be happy."

At this moment, he still doesn't know what he will experience.

The author has something to say:

A little angel in the comment area has basically guessed the inside story, boast!

Before, a little cutie said that he wanted to see Chi Jingxiu and see the love between Zhuang Wumei and Su Fei. I think you are very bold, but not bold enough. I want him to personally reveal the truth about Su Fei's line.

No prize quiz: Where did the real Zhuang Wumei go?As a friendly reminder, watch the scene where Sophie sees a certain pair of rings.
