Xu Shuo probably knew that someone was trying to find out his identity, but he didn't know to what extent it was going on. He thought about it and felt that he didn't have any means to deal with it for the time being.
Sure enough, people cannot be too inflated.
Because Hong Rao had just come over to chat for a long time, Xu Shuo judged that the time was almost up, so he got up and left the script space.
It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky outside was still clear and bright.
After Xu Shuo opened his eyes, he felt keenly that the house was too quiet, so quiet that there was no breathing except for him.
He got up and opened the door and went out to take a look. Sure enough, Xu Xi was nowhere to be seen.
He must have gone out to play, right?
Xu Shuo returned to the bed and picked up his phone. There was a text message on it that Xu Xi had left before going out.
[Lily came to hang out with me in the Black Rain District.]
The message time is 1:30 pm.
Perhaps he had just gone back to the room to take a nap, and she would have gone out.
However, it was already the holiday after the college entrance examination, and it was the weekend. Girls like to meet up to go out and walk on the street. Xu Shuo expressed his understanding.
He asked if he wanted to come back for dinner.
They also responded quickly there.
Xu Xi: [I will go back later and leave some food for me.]
Xu Shuo: [Okay.]
From the looks of it, the two girls would probably play late, so there was no need for him to cook so early.
Xu Shuo thought for a while, turned around and lay back on the bed.
The reason why he left the script space in a hurry was mainly because he felt that he would be suspicious if he slept for too long, but since the person who would be suspicious now is not here.
Then there is nothing to fear!
Xu Shuo happily lay down, but before he could re-enter the script space, the phone suddenly rang.
But who will call at this time?
Li Ziwen should be able to handle the studio matters at this stage, and he doesn't seem to have any cooperation invitations from any bosses recently. Of course, it would be better if this phone call is for investment!
However, Xu Shuo's anticipation disappeared immediately when he saw the contact name.
It turned out to be Luo Kai.
Thinking about it carefully, before entering into the script, he had explained to the other party about the underground garage at Hetai intersection this morning.
So as expected, it should be something like this.
"Hello?" Xu Shuo answered expressionlessly.
"...Why does your voice sound so scary?" Luo Kai on the other side added.
Xu Shuo lay there for three hours without drinking water or speaking. His voice was indeed a bit deep and hoarse, not to mention the sound was produced by his stick.
He asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
Luo Kai reacted and continued: "I know you don't like to be exposed to this kind of thing, but just now, another area in Yangcheng has a problem similar to abyss erosion."
Xu Shuo frowned: "Where?"
Luo Kai: "South New District."
Nanxin District is located at the southernmost end of Yangcheng, bordering Sanjiang. It has several ports and docks and is Yangcheng's only access to the sea.
And the problem that arose this time——
A fisherman encountered a ghost ship on the river.
Less than an hour later, a fisherman on the fishing boat died of strange symptoms. His body was rotting and wrapped in a cocoon with a black substance.
After the fishermen called the police, officials quickly took over the matter and quickly contacted Luo Kai, who was still in Yangcheng.
After Luo Kai heard this, he went to the scene to have a look himself.
However, the strange thing is that the smelly and black thing is indeed a substance that can be produced by the abyss, but he did not scan the abyss area nearby, and the radar in the player's manual did not have permission to open it.
The situation was so weird, he would definitely not go there alone to alert the enemy.
So I quickly contacted Xu Shuo.
Xu Shuo frowned after hearing this: "..."
to be honest.
Are there too many abyss monsters in Yangcheng?
More importantly, the high tower defense line set up by Themis was like a decoration.
On the day after the installation, an abyss opened in the underground garage, and a strange ghost ship appeared on the river the next day. I'm afraid the entire Yangcheng would be filled with demons tomorrow.
It didn't happen so often before!
Thinking of this, Xu Shuo had reason to suspect that those monsters were attracted by the defense line!
But things always happened here in Yangcheng, too close to his hometown. Even if Xu Shuo didn't want to show his face in front of the abyss of the world, he could only go and take a look.
"I'll go over now."
He sighed and got up again resignedly.
Luo Kai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I sent you the address."
After hanging up the phone.
Xu Shuo looked at the address, got up, washed and changed clothes. Before going out, he saw the kitchen and thought about it before sending a text message to Xu Xi.
[I have something to go out to take care of right now, so I won’t have time to make dinner. You can eat out by yourself and then come back.]
After a while, there was a reply.
[good.]
[Be careful on the road.]
[come back earlier.]
…
…
Meanwhile, the Black Rain Zone.
Huiyao Game Studio.
In the new office area isolated for the new project, the project manager Pei Sheng is busy recruiting talented employees, while Los, the only employee currently, is sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on programming artificial intelligence.
Because the people and equipment have not yet been completed and in place, the project has not officially started yet.
But before that, Ross plans to create some simple game data.
His previous judgment was wrong. It is too difficult to create an immersive holographic game with the technology of this world. Forcibly improving the technology tree may cause chaos in the world order.
So there was no other way, Ross could only settle for the next best thing.
At least, the results must satisfy the big boss, so that he won't be forced to follow his supervisor and jump off the building, right?
Los was concentrating on saving his boss's life, but at this moment, he suddenly stopped typing on the keyboard, and then he looked up thoughtfully in one direction.
——Didn’t you say you were resting at home today?
So why did that person move again, and go to the abyss of darkness very purposefully?
I really don’t have any confidence in my ability to attract monsters.
Of course, it wouldn't be polite for him to criticize that person like this.
Los's mind was racing with thoughts, and then he saved the data, stood up, and prepared to leave his post.
But as soon as he stood up, he paused again.
Under the thick black glasses, the dark eyes flashed with a hint of golden red, and Los received the message from the rift in time and space.
Then he decisively rejected the two women's request to come over for help.
Don't think he doesn't know what they are up to.
His sister may really want to help, but with Angela’s temperament, she is definitely here to cause trouble!
After cutting off the connection with the Sixth House, Los turned around and left his post and walked out. However, he only saw the careless project manager halfway there.
It happened that the other party also looked over.
Los Angeles stopped and said hello politely.
Pei Sheng saw this and asked curiously: "I was planning to ask you for something, what are you going to do?"
Ross looked calm: "Bathroom."
Pei Sheng nodded: "Oh, then go quickly."
There are no toilets in the studio, but there are public toilets on each floor of the office building.
After watching Lose leave him with his head lowered, Pei Sheng's eyes suddenly paused, and then he looked strange.
Because he discovered that this guy's glasses frame was actually semicircular!
In ordinary glasses, the bends of the temples that rest on the ears are in the shape of an obtuse angle, but this person's temples are in the shape of an acute angle!
The entire temple is almost hooked on the ear!
If such glasses are taken off suddenly, they will probably get stuck behind the ears.
Pei Sheng: "..." As for that?
Isn't it because you took off your glasses last time? As for replacing them with such unconventional spectacle legs afterwards?
Pei Sheng twitched his lips silently. When he walked into the studio, he saw Li Ziwen not far away who was communicating with employees.
He raised his hand to say hello.
But the next moment, Pei Sheng's eyes suddenly froze.
It was as if there were pink bubbles floating in the sky in his sight, and the surrounding atmosphere became ambiguous and hot. Similarly, the half of Li Ziwen's sideways face became particularly moving.
