Chapter 451 Return to the Original Place
The boss had gone somewhere, and only two people were left in the corridor.
Cheng Jie didn't know where the boss had gone, but the real monster was right in front of him.
Zheng Xun had a faint smile on his face, and Cheng Jie found that he had been used to dealing with all difficult situations with this expression recently, like using a universal formula to apply to all problems.
Cheng Jie was suspicious of him, but he didn't say it too bluntly.
"You should rest more in the hospital."
After all, Cheng Jie had been in the White Tower for so long, and he had been tempered. Dementia and confusion would only appear when he was relaxed, but before entering this dungeon, he had been on high alert.
He didn't want to question "Zheng Xun" here and expose his true face, for fear that it would be detrimental to the real Zheng Xun.
Under the White Tower, there were all kinds of new things. It's not that he hadn't seen Zheng Xun's imitations before, but he didn't expect... they could be so rampant that they ran out of the White Tower.
They even participated in press conferences, live broadcasts, and went to the dungeon with other players.
Cheng Jie rounded up the words, and Zheng Xun's smile deepened.
"Yeah," he said calmly, "I think I shouldn't rush to go to the dungeon."
As if a mirror suddenly shattered, the surrounding scene changed.
They returned to the scene of the final battle with the boss just now, and several other people also appeared.
"Brother Cheng!"
"Zheng Xun——"
Cheng Jie looked around and found that the other teammates were not injured. At most, there was more dust on their faces.
It seems that "Zheng Xun" was right. This boss was just struggling before death and could not cause much damage.
He knew this dungeon very well.
He looked at Zheng Xun not far away. The other party met with Huo Ziyan and Shen Guanyu. Huo Ziyan was concerned about whether he felt uncomfortable. After all, it was the first time to go to the dungeon after being seriously injured. Shen Guanyu always spoke little, but his eyes followed Zheng Xun closely.
The two players of Xunhui Guild, except for the president, were borrowed from other guilds, but they were sincere to Zheng Xun.
Cheng Jie remembered that Zheng Xun had never been so arrogant as the captain or the president in the past. He just treated them as friends and even lent them his home.
They had a good relationship. Zheng Xun was not very defensive towards those who had been selected by him to join his circle of friends.
"Zheng Xun" seemed to have sensed Cheng Jie's scrutiny. He turned half a step and looked back at Cheng Jie.
Cheng Jie forced out an awkward smile, and the other party smiled back and turned his head again.
Their eyes no longer met, and their faces turned cold.
The boss was solved, and the players successfully passed the level. Next was the reward session.
Everyone took their own rewards away, and no one chose to open them under the live camera.
Zheng Xun hadn't opened the gift box in public for a long time, and the audience was still a little disappointed.
Well, the hammer is not the silly white hammer it used to be, and has its own little thoughts.
The two guilds said goodbye. Cheng Jie said to Zheng Xun, the captain of Xunhui, "See you next time", waved his hand, and took the four team members back.
Cheng Jie got into Mingque's car first, followed by the Tao siblings. The twins were the last to get in and closed the car door.
"Brother Cheng actually left so decisively this time?" Gao Ziyao was a little surprised. He heard that Cheng Jie and Zheng Xun would not say goodbye to each other completely without saying a hundred trash words to each other in the past.
Cheng Jie sat in the last row of the car, hummed, and just said he was tired without much explanation.
The remaining four younger ones looked at each other in bewilderment.
Damn, their cool and crazy brother Cheng is now going the melancholy and literary route.
Zheng Xun also got into the car.
Before opening the car door, he asked Huo Ziyan and Shen Guanyu how to go and whether they wanted to leave with him.
The two naturally wanted to visit Linxun Mansion, but unfortunately, their guilds had urgent matters today and asked them to go back.
The car had already arrived at the gate of the White Pagoda.
Zheng Xun said "Okay", in that case, they could only say goodbye here.
"Next time you go to the dungeon, Zheng Xun, you must take me with you." Huo Ziyan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay," Zheng Xun nodded randomly, "I'll take you with me."
"Then I..." Shen Guanyu also raised his hand silently beside him.
"I'll take you with me too. Don't worry, we will have many opportunities to go to the dungeon in the future, and you will just find me too annoying when the time comes."
The other two laughed when they heard this.
Qinglan and Yinxue both sent cars over, and the emblem sprayed on the car body shone in the sun.
Not long after Zheng Xun got on the car, the other two also opened the door.
When Zheng Xun entered the car, he found that there was another person inside.
It was Qin Yi.
Boss Qin had a laptop on his lap, and when he saw Zheng Xun coming in, he just glanced at him lightly.
"I'm back."
"Yeah," Zheng Xun opened a can of orange soda for himself, and the can made a sound of the ring being pulled open. "Cheng Jie found something wrong."
"Cheng Jie?"
"Yes. You don't look surprised at all?"
"We didn't expect to hide it from everyone. Cheng Jie knows Zheng Xun very well. It was within our expectations that he could successfully expose you."
"Then I..."
"Continue to get along with him normally and don't have conflicts. I think he will take action soon."
...
Singing Bird Guild.
After Cheng Jie returned to the guild, he found Xiao Jun as soon as possible.
Vice President Xiao was receiving partners. Cheng Jie waited in the corridor for a while before knocking on the door and going in.
"Are you back?"
Xiao Jun stood behind the desk and was sorting out the files on the desktop. There are several water cups on the coffee table with remaining tea in them, which should have been left by the guests just now.
Cheng Jie closed the door, sat on the sofa, and poured himself a glass of water.
"Brother Xiao, as you guessed, there is something wrong with Zheng Xun."
Xiao Jun gathered the documents into a pile, tapped them on the desktop, and put them in order.
Hearing Cheng Jie's words, he was not surprised at all.
"What's wrong?"
he asked Cheng Jie.
"Although his strength hasn't changed much, his personality is completely different. The Zheng Xun of the past was a little more tossing than the current... how should I put it..., and he also had endless enthusiasm for exploring the dungeon. But now this Zheng Xun It’s easy to lose enthusiasm and lose that sense of focus. He seems to be outside the environment, and he can only regain his attention when someone talks to him.”
Cheng Jie described his feelings to Xiao Jun as accurately as possible, but he added something later.
"Maybe it's my misunderstanding. After all, Zheng Xun was shot in the last dungeon. Even if he didn't hit the vital point as he said, but it just looked scary, it would definitely have a psychological impact. And outside the White Tower It’s hard to say that these rumors didn’t have any impact on him. It’s normal for him to play conservatively in the first copy after his comeback.”
Xiao Jun packed up the scattered documents and put them back in the cabinet. During this period, he had been listening to Cheng Jie.
When Cheng Jie expressed uncertainty, Xiao Jun spoke.
"You have to trust your intuition. You and Zheng Xun have known each other for a long time. As friends, even if the other person is in a bad mood one day and he doesn't speak, you can still feel it. This is a tacit understanding cultivated over time. Requires too much explanation in words.”
Xiao Jun thinks Cheng Jie's feeling is right. When Zheng Xun came back to this matter, he judged there was something wrong rationally, and now Cheng Jie's intuition also confirmed this matter.
"We have to discuss what to do next."
How to deal with this fake Zheng Xun and how to find the real Zheng Xun.
At this time, Cheng Jie thought of someone.
"I have to make a phone call."
