nightmare exec

Chapter 9 Plato's Cave

After some observation, Song Yin found a hyperlink on Qi Zhengnan's personal homepage, jumping to the homepage of the team "Yu Gutai".

Judging from the records on the team's homepage, "Yu Gutai" is actually a "hundred-year-old team" with a history of 150 years.

In the old era when Purgatory had not yet evolved to full computer operation, Yu Gutai appeared in the traditional form of a "guild". At its peak half a century ago, it once had nearly a hundred members.

As early as during the reign of the No. 11th generation "Guangzhu", the "guild" was renamed the "Association", and the "Association" was renamed the "Club" when the No. 18th generation president was in office.Four generations before Qi Zhengnan, the younger, simpler, and seemingly simpler title of "team" began to be used.Today, Qi Zhengnan is the No.20 eighth-generation "Captain" of "Yu Gutai".

Since retired executives are not in the public database, only active team members are shown on the homepage.Song Yin didn't bother to count, there were five people in total, it was clear at a glance.

That's right, Qi Zhengnan's "cold, arrogant and arrogant" guy is not supposed to be an outstanding leader who can control the crowd, and he is barely able to be a dog-headed squad leader.

Song Yin curled his lips and looked down the list.

Behind Captain Foehn is Mithril, who is Yu Gutai's deputy captain and a fifth-level executive officer.

Song Yin clicked into her personal homepage, and found that she even started the job half a year earlier than Qi Zhengnan, but her work points were almost the same.

What surprised Song Yin the most was that this glamorous beauty with long hair and shoulders was male.

"Hiss... Women's clothes... Boss?"

Recalling the barrage of chasing Mithril and calling his wife all over the screen, Song Yin silently gasped.

He immediately realized another important issue - since Mithril is a man, the relationship between Qi Zhengnan and him will not be a couple.

Thinking of this, he hooked the corners of his mouth, wanted to laugh but suddenly pursed his lips.

No, it's all ages.Who said men and men can't be lovers?childish!

Reluctantly, he corrected this misconception in his mind, and then suddenly remembered his first nightmare, the Mr. Qi who appeared as a fiancé...

Bah, bah, that's not Qi Zhengnan!

He knocked on his head, pushed the messy thoughts out of it, and continued to check the webpage.

Apart from Qi Zhengnan and Mithril, the other three members of Yu Gutai are also all men, codenamed Pika, Zhenzhe and Bison.The time of entry is later than that of Qi Zhengnan, but they have also reached the high level of a fourth-level executive.

Song Yin selectively watched some dungeon videos of the Yugutai team, which also included the ins and outs of the wonderful tidbit just now——

It was a "challenge" dungeon that Qi Zhengnan and Mithril encountered when they first formed a team 18 months ago.The stowaway's scientific name is "Mirror Ji", because he hides in the mirror array and his whereabouts are surreptitious, he has troubled many teams, and even a three-person team was completely annihilated.

However, on that day, Mithril, whose talent is "Mirror", teamed up with Foehn, whose talent is "Wind and Fire".The two people who couldn't afford top-level equipment at that time perfectly subdued Jing Ji in just one hour.They also gained fame because of this battle, and many fans even directly used "Mirror Ji" as Mithril's nickname.

In addition to the captain and deputy captain, the talents of pika, true ocher and bison are also impressive.Especially the bison, which is usually shown as a monster with a bull's head and a human body, coupled with its tall and burly stature, gives people a solid and reliable sense of security.

Song Yin was suddenly moved, and couldn't help thinking about whether to go to the mall to buy a liger, tiger and leopard headgear to change his appearance.However, what immediately came to mind was a strange picture of a pair of moth wings stuck behind his back and a moth head around his neck.

Forget it, he sighed softly, it's time for another nightmare tonight.

Restricted by the authority of the trainee executive officer, Song Yin can neither add anyone as a friend, nor log in to the social network that comes with the Aksha system, so he cannot develop a deeper understanding of the Yugutai team.After thinking for a while, he decided to continue watching the team's dungeon video.

Even though it was only a few hours after contacting the dream dungeon, Song Yin could tell that Yu Gutai was indeed a small but elite team.

Qi Zhengnan's leadership ability has far exceeded his imagination. He is calm, accurate, and timely, and he seems to be a well-tested and excellent executive.And all the team members, including Mithril, had a tacit understanding with each other, and even Song Yin, a bystander, couldn't help gearing up and eager to try a few wonderful cooperations.

Song Yin greedily watched one video after another.When you are tired, you can switch to your mobile phone and lie down on the bed to continue watching.When I was hungry, I grabbed a fruit from the rattan basket and gnawed it; when I was sleepy, I closed my eyes and slept for half an hour and continued to fight.

Just like that, he didn't realize that it was pitch black again outside the floor-to-ceiling windows until the words "Health Reminder for Trainee Executive Officer" popped up on the screen of his mobile phone.

Before closing the video, Song Yin wanted to leave some memory for her first day of employment.So he clicked on the reward page for Foehn.After comparing the long tipping hero list with his poor account balance, he turned his lips up, entered "1 yuan", and left a provocative sentence: "Grand thief, your grandpa is here, miss me? "

After tipping and exiting the video interface, Song Yin thought for a while and asked, "Ergou, are you there?"

"I'm here." The blond assistant officer's voice came from the phone.

"Set an alarm clock for me, at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." Song Yin stretched her waist, "Starting tomorrow, I will work hard."

---

That night, Song Yin knew that she was dreaming again.

In the dream, he was sitting on the lake blue flannel sofa on the first floor of the safe house.It was as if his hands and feet were bound and he couldn't move.

In front of him is a wall, which was originally covered with large and small watercolor paintings of plants.At this moment, all these picture frames fell to the ground, and the plants in the paintings took root and sprouted on the floor, and soon grew into a bush against the wall.

There was a torrential rain outside the house, and white and purple lightning flashed frequently, projecting layers of rainwater on the window glass onto the bushes, and the whole house was filled with sparkling light, as if diving into the deep underwater world.

Suddenly, Song Yin found some small, black silhouettes appeared in the bushes, they were butterflies, big and small, flying silently in the ripples of the rain.

Vaguely, he knew that those black ones were just silhouettes of butterflies, and the real butterflies might be behind him, or might be surrounding him.He wanted to dodge, but he couldn't even close his eyes.

He just watched more and more butterflies, almost filling the entire room, until a huge figure slowly spread a pair of butterfly wings in front of him.

Song Yin took a deep breath, feeling that his heart was almost paralyzed.

"Motorfly, Morpho!!"

The calling sound close to the ear dragged Song Yin back to the waking world.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he was still lying on the big bed in the bedroom of the safe house, and the blond assistant officer Ergou, who had been fabricated by himself, was half pressing on him.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?!" He leaned up and pushed Ergou away, "Don't come in if you agreed?"

"It was an extraordinary situation just now." Ergou looked serious and concerned, "You didn't respond after the alarm rang three times, and your physiological indicators and brain waves were very abnormal."

"It was just a nightmare, there is no need to collect my body."

Song Yin got out of the bed from the other side, touched his back, and sure enough, he was covered in cold sweat.

As he walked towards the bathroom, he raised his index finger and shook it twice: "Also, why is it called that code name? My name is Song Yin."

"There is only Morpho in Purgatory." The assistant officer insisted on emphasizing this point. "Purgatory and the human world are two worlds that are connected but independent from each other. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is illegal to publicly call each other's real name in Purgatory."

That's why searching for the name "Qi Zhengnan" in the system yesterday turned up nothing - Song Yin nodded, indicating that he accepted the rule.

Then he asked again, "Can you cook?"

"Not yet. But there is this plug-in in the system, do I need to install it?"

"For breakfast, I want to eat rice, poached eggs and fried vegetables, all the ingredients are in the refrigerator."

After placing the order, Song Yin waved his hand, flashed into the bathroom and closed the door.

Fifteen minutes later, two side dishes, a bowl of rice, and a small dish of soy sauce appeared on the dining table on the first floor.The aroma of oil is overflowing, and the heat is dense.

Song Yin sat down at the table, looked down for a while, and then looked up at Ergou standing beside him.

At that time, Ergou was wearing an apron, staring at the green pagoda vegetable on the table in a daze, and it took him a while to respond to his gaze: "Is there anything else?"

Song Yin pointed to the dish with chopsticks: "Can you eat?"

"Food does not provide my organism with extra energy."

"You should try it. Food can bring you psychological satisfaction. And, more experience of what it means to be a real human being."

As he spoke, Song Yin picked up a chopstick of green vegetables.

Obviously everything is cooked in strict accordance with the preset process, the heat, knife skills, taste... There is absolutely no possibility of any mistakes, but at this moment, a ripple appeared in the heart of the artificial intelligence assistant officer, and at that time he was not yet Know it's a tiny expectation.

He saw Song Yin put the vegetables into his mouth, chewed them twice, and then stopped.

"What's wrong?" He was actually a little worried.

"No, the dishes are well done, and even smell like my mother." Song Yin sniffed, "It's been so many years, I thought I'd forgotten what the food tastes like at home, but once I tasted it, I could tell everything I remember."

"...I don't quite understand what you're talking about." The assistant officer was a little confused, but his tone became more gentle: "If you need comfort, I can arrange a professional psychological counselor for you."

"You artificial mental retardation." Song Yin muttered in a low voice, and then he picked up the rice with big mouthfuls.

After breakfast, Song Yin officially started working in Purgatory.

As a trainee assistant officer, he is still under system protection. He must pass the test of 49 trial dungeons before he can be promoted to be an executive officer.And these 49 dungeons have also been carefully selected, not only for combat and capture, but also for decryption, tracking and stealth, in order to correspond to various possible future situations.

According to the statistics provided by Ergou, the average time it takes for purgatory executives to become a full-time employee is 30 days.But the time limit Song Yin set for himself was only two weeks.

The advantage of polyphasic sleep is reflected at this time - he divides the working time into four blocks: a copy of training in the morning and afternoon, 1 hour of lunch and 1 hour of sleep at noon.After dinner in the evening, do the third dungeon, then sleep for 2 hours, get up in the middle of the night to do the fourth dungeon, and continue to sleep until [-]:[-] am.

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.At 11 am this morning, Song Yin successfully cleared the 49th instance.Immediately, a teleportation reminder from the assistant officer Ergou sounded in his ears.

In the next second, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, but he did not return to the battle preparation room, but entered another spacious and bright strange space.

What made Song Yin feel a little relieved was that the assistant officer Ergou still stood aside, like a large golden retriever guide dog.

"Welcome back. Congratulations, you have ended your internship period from today and officially become a dream executive."

"So... this is a system upgrade?"

Only then did Song Yin take a closer look at the surroundings - this room was larger than the previous preparation room, with more storage space, and even a comfortable leather couch, a small refrigerator, and tall green potted plants.

"In the future, you can also decorate and remodel according to your own preferences, even if it is changed to a swimming pool, it will be fine."

Speaking of this, Ergou pressed the switch on the pillar by the wall, and saw the thin white curtain rolled up, and something unexpected but reasonable appeared——

It was a large floor-to-ceiling glass window, and outside the window was an open space.Green spaces, fountains, gardens, and tall and short buildings are scattered among them, just like urban squares that can be seen everywhere in the world.

But what attracted Song Yin the most were the people walking in that square.They were in groups of three or five, and although they were too far away to see their faces clearly, they were so real and vivid, as if they could attract their attention just by opening the window.

Song Yin didn't think he was a social person, but at that moment, he felt like a lost person in the desert who found an oasis.
