Chapter 285 Don’t Do that Kind of Thing
Five floors.
This floor is a place for tourists to eat and entertain, including a cinema and a number of barbecue, hot pot and milk tea shops.
Even though Sijiang Building has been abandoned for a long time, they are still in business hours, so the copy will still beautify the scene a little.
At least add a filter or something.
Shen Guanyu was the first to come down the escalator. When he saw clearly what he saw in front of him, he said "oh" and seemed a little surprised.
Because Zheng Xun is still behind him.
"I'm telling you, the fifth floor is much better than the floors below. There is food on this floor. Ah——"
Shen Guanyu was in front of him, standing still, and then Zheng Xun, who was pushed up to the fifth floor by the escalator, almost hit his back.
"Xiao Shen, what's wrong?"
Shen Guanyu took a few steps forward in time, and Meng Lian and Huo Ziyan behind Zheng Xun were fine.
Otherwise, there will be a series of car crashes.
Zheng Xun asked him, but Shen Guanyu didn't reply, but turned half sideways.
It's more intuitive to see with your eyes.
After Zheng Xun saw clearly what Xiao Shen had just witnessed, he said "eh" strangely.
This isn't right.
"Xiao Huo, come and take a look."
Huo Ziyan had acted with Zheng Xun before. They had both visited the fifth floor and knew what was going on here.
He also didn't expect that such a big change could occur in less than a day.
Time seems to have gone back ten years. All the decorations are in the style of that time, but everything is in tatters.
If I had to describe it, it would be a bit like... the news picture about Sijiang Building that they had seen in the newspaper ten years ago.
... Could it be that time and space have been misaligned again?
The four of them stood at the entrance of the escalator. There should be a metal guide sign here, but it was gone now.
Huo Ziyan and Zheng Xun looked at each other. Although they didn't communicate, they understood that they had the same idea.
"It's very dangerous," Xiao Huo once again spoke on behalf of Zheng Xun. "I don't know when the time and space on this level went backwards, but since it has gone back, it means that the space on the fifth level is now very unstable."
Huo Ziyan remembered something and turned to look at Shen Guanyu.
"Guanyu, before you were away, I gave you a copy of the marking map that Zheng Xun brought with me."
"Huh? Ah, okay, okay..."
Shen Guanyu had actually received a similar picture from his aunt, but he did not refuse Huo Ziyan's kindness.
"But the part of this picture that may not be valid now," Huo Ziyan lowered his head to bring up the virtual screen of the bracelet, and quickly tapped it a few times with his slender fingers, "it's for reference only."
"Yes, I understand."
Huo Ziyan looked at the message "Transfer Successful" that popped up on the screen, turned away the screen, and the fluorescent blue light disappeared from his eyes.
Shen Guanyu was busy checking the items, and Meng Lian also took advantage of this time to quickly review the marking diagram.
Huo Ziyan looked at Zheng Xun, who was looking at him eagerly.
"...?"
"I'm fine here."
"Me too."
Before Zheng Xun could answer, Shen Guanyu and Meng Lian responded first.
"Are you ready? Let's take action then," Huo Ziyan did not forget to ask Zheng Xun, who was silent next to him, "Is it okay, Zheng Xun."
Zheng Xun nodded.
"Of course, let's go!"
They decided not to search for clues in detail first, but to walk through the five floors briefly.
The four-person team moved forward at a neither fast nor slow pace, with Huo Ziyan at the head, Zheng Xun at the end, and Shen Guanyu and Meng Lian in the middle.
Huo Ziyan thought about it and still felt that Zheng Xun's abnormal behavior just now was not quite right.
After explaining to Shen Guanyu, he slowed down and came to the end of the line, where he whispered a few words to Zheng Xun.
"Did you have anything to ask me just now?"
Zheng Xunhui gave him a serious expression and replied with the same mosquito-like voice.
"some."
"What is it?"
"..."
Zheng Xun showed a somewhat tangled expression, which was rarely seen on his face.
Huo Ziyan thought he had discovered some shocking secret about the copy and wanted to share it with him.
As a result, Zheng Xun said——
"Xiao Huo, you have become mature and completely different from before."
Huo Ziyan didn't expect that he was struggling for a long time just to praise himself. Although he was surprised, he was still very happy.
"This is all thanks to you, Zheng Xun."
"Oh," Zheng Xun, a man with unconventional ideas, made nonsense of one sentence and then the next, "Why did the change happen so quickly? How long did it take? He is obviously only a few months older than me..."
He muttered in a low voice. Huo Ziyan listened carefully to hear what he was saying, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"You are also very mature and steady."
"Of course!"
Zheng Xun became happy again after hearing this. His good mood always comes faster than others.
Shen Guanyu and Meng Lian were discussing something two or three meters away. Their voices were not loud, but they were discussing very seriously.
Zheng Xun glanced at the surroundings, but there was nothing strange yet.
He continued chatting with Xiao Huo.
"I told people before that I was joking that you and Xu Guan look more and more like each other, but now I really feel that you are gradually becoming Xu Guan."
"...?"
"Of course it's a good thing that you have changed like this, Xiao Huo. Xu Guan is a man with outstanding abilities, strong sense of responsibility, self-discipline and reliability, but..."
Zheng Xun didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly crossed his hands and rubbed his arms, showing an expression of lingering fear.
"But he is too controlling. He invited me to Qinglan. When I thought about being controlled by him, not being able to sleep in, not being able to play dungeons at midnight, and not being able to play with my phone before going to bed, I just wanted to find a boss to kill myself."
"...Zheng Xun, Captain Xu is not always so strict. If you perform well, he will give you rewards."
"What!" Zheng Xun suddenly raised his hands, covering his ears and side face with his palms. It was just like the famous painting "The Scream", too abstract.
"Only if you perform well will you get rewards?! How do you define good performance?! He won't make a lot of rules for you like in the White Tower dungeon? "Rules-based Strange Stories: Escape from Xu Guan"? "
"Zheng Xun, that, we are still live streaming, and Qinglan may also watch it."
Huo Ziyan glanced at the camera ball. The little white ball was following them carefully, as if it was listening with its ears erect.
But Zheng Xun was completely lost in his own imagination.
"No, no, Xiao Huo, you must not become like Xu Guan. The prerequisite for passing the level is not to turn yourself into Xu Guan. Look at me, learn from me. Did I spend such a large sum of money just to train a Xu Guan to be by my side? Don't do this..."
"..."
Huo Ziyan thought he was joking, but the more he watched, the more he realized that Zheng Xun was really worried.
He sighed helplessly.
"No, Zheng Xun, I can't reach the level of Captain Xu. And you are the captain, I will follow your arrangements no matter what you want."
"With your words, I feel much more at ease."
Zheng Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
His relaxed handsome face fell on the projection screen of the first meeting room of Qinglan.
Xu Guan, who was sitting at the end of the long meeting table, stared at the big screen with his eyes, expressionless.
On both sides of the meeting table sat the other members of the team, as well as the coaching assistant and others.
Everyone was afraid to breathe.
The quiet atmosphere in the meeting room was overwhelming.
(I have been very busy these two days, and I will resume normal updates tomorrow~)
