Chapter 135 Reality Problems
Ringo was stunned.
He thought for a moment, and finally, as always, said with his straightforward and frank attitude: "I'm very happy. I'm really——I'd like to stand by your side, Beijin."
Xu Beijin smiled lightly.
I'm afraid he can't make him say more, but he can always say something like this.He wanted Ringo to understand this.
For him, what he needs is not Ringo's value and ability, but just him.
Just his company and support.This is his lover, his partner.
Perhaps his long-term silence and introversion made Ringo unable to perceive this.And Ringo was originally a person who did not understand love.
Therefore, he should tell Ringo about this.
Xu Bei paid close attention to Lingo's movements.Soon after, Ringo came to the end of the road.A faint gap appeared in front of Lingo.
Lingo asked a little strangely: "Why didn't this gap appear before?"
Xu Beijin said: "This bug appeared in the gray fog nightmare, not just in the gray fog. Therefore, this bug can only appear after I or NE fall asleep.
"If you return to the nightmare from the boundary of the narrow building, then this gap has always existed;
But if you want to enter the boundary of the narrow building from the nightmare, you still have to repeat the previous steps. "
Xu Beijin added very rigorously that he already knew what Ringo would think.
Lingo let out a silent "oh", and could only put back some delusional thoughts.
Besides, he didn't express any surprise about Xu Beijin's identity.
However, he still asked: "So, do you count as being helped by NE now?"
"Almost, I can use part of its authority now." Xu Beijin replied, "But it's only temporary."
Ringo nodded.
Xu Beijin told him again: "After you return to the bottom of the narrow building, you go to Mu Jiashi and the others. I still have something to tell them."
Ringo responded, then entered the gap and returned to the maze.
Afterwards, Xu Beijin woke up NE.The foggy nightmare automatically played a special ending.
Xu Bei paid all his attention to Lin Po's position, and noticed that he had returned to the bottom floor of the narrow building, he breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.
NE walked slowly and stiffly to Xu Beijin's side and said, "Your lover is safe."
Xu Beijin glanced at him and said indifferently, "No need to rush. I will deal with the ultimate nightmare."
NE nodded, then pointed to the control panel and said, "You must have noticed. I'm not running well now."
"Because of the gray fog?"
NE's reply was very simple: "Yes..."
Xu Beijin frowned slightly.
NE added: "According to what you said, only you can gain the trust of those players, but I can't. Therefore, I want to leave the ultimate nightmare to you to handle.
"Wait... until the final choice comes, and then you wake me up. I need enough time to deal with matters related to the gray mist."
Xu Beijin's face sank like water, and he seemed very reluctant, but there was a kind of inconceivable surprise in his heart.
He secretly looked at NE, thinking, if he hadn't been convinced that this guy was NE, then he might suspect that a certain human might become NE through time travel.
Xu Bei was thinking wildly, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "I see. Go to sleep."
Xu Beijin watched NE go into a dormant state, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
He thought, if NE didn't hibernate, then he would have a headache on how to deal with this matter.Maybe it will take more effort.
He thought incredulously, why did NE trust him so much?
Then he realizes that maybe most of the reason is that NE thinks he's one of its kind. NE believes that Xu Beijin is also an artificial intelligence.
Xu Bei could not help but sneer.
His position with NE's is at least the same for now.However, this does not mean that NE really does not intend to kill him.
NE still wants to delete this piece of "garbage data" in its eyes, and Xu Beijin, of course, doesn't want to die either.
His eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
But then, he still focused on the control panel in front of him.For some time to come, he might have to use this thing to communicate with his companions.
He still paid attention to Ringo.
In fact, he really wants to talk to Lingo for a while now.The progress of the matter is dizzying, and now he has mixed feelings in his heart, and he has just confirmed his relationship with Lingo, and he is shocked because of Lino's identity...
In short, his mind is a little confused now.He wanted to be alone with Ringo for a while, to be peaceful for a while.
But Xu Bei knew that now was not the time to do such things.
Xu Beijin sighed secretly, and could only force himself to settle the serious matter first.
Lin Po, who returned to the bottom of the narrow building, soon found Mu Jiashi and others.
It was already the afternoon of the second day after they entered Xu Beijin's nightmare, and it seemed that Xu Beijin and Lingo had wasted more time than they thought in the boundary of the narrow building.
Ringo's return made these missionaries feel a little strange.
Mu Jiashi hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Boss, didn't you go to the top floor of the narrow building with him?"
"I can't go." Ringo explained briefly, and then said, "Beijin has already contacted me."
Mu Jiashi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lingo couldn't go to the top floor of the narrow building.
Is it just Ringo who is special, or is it that other missionaries are not allowed to go to the top floor of the narrow building?
All kinds of questions flashed through Mu Jiashi's mind.
But then, Lingo's words immediately wiped out the thoughts in his brain.He immediately asked seriously, "What did he say?"
At this moment, everyone heard Xu Beijin's voice ringing in their ears: "I am here."
Several people present were stunned.
Mu Jiashi looked around and felt that Xu Beijin's image became even more mysterious.
Xu Beijin explained briefly: "I convinced NE that now I can temporarily use part of the authority of the game mastermind."
Several taskers and residents of the narrow building were stunned for a moment, and then they all cheered.They have all realized that at least their first step has been successful.They hugged and applauded each other, and the atmosphere was very warm.
When Lingo came in just now, the dull and oppressive atmosphere that lingered in the room disappeared almost instantly.
They were all worried that Xu Beijin would never return, and that everything they had done was useless.
Just like the labyrinth that humans have exhausted all means to build.
Bells and whistles, spectacular.But to no avail.
However, the good news brought by Lin Bao and Xu Beijin lifted their spirits and realized that they had truly held hope in their hands!
Mu Jiashi clenched his fist almost subconsciously, his whole body was so excited that he almost trembled.
He heard Ding Yi muttering from the side: "We have hope...we saved her, right?"
Jiang Shuangmei happily responded: "Of course! We can save everyone!"
Mu Jiashi couldn't help laughing.
After a while, everyone calmed down again.
Xu Beijin also waited patiently for a while, allowing the stressed-out mission workers and residents of the narrow building to vent their emotions.
Afterwards, he asked about the progress of the affairs that Ding Yi, Dai Wu, and Su Enya were in charge of.
Ding Yi responded truthfully: "We may still need some time."
Xu Beijin pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many people have you contacted now?"
"Most of the taskers have already been contacted. From the numbers we got from them, we probably still have a few thousand people who haven't been contacted." Ding Yi said, looking at Dai Wu, "The residents of the narrow building Here..."
Dai Wu interjected in a timely manner: "Our situation is similar. But what's worse is that even if some narrow building residents can be contacted, he may be half crazy and half stupid, and he can't understand us at all."
Su Enya replied simply: "It's the same on my side. Most of them have been contacted."
Xu Bei thought for a moment.
In this case, it will be difficult to find the last group of people through the taskers and the residents of the narrow building.
They may hide in a corner of the narrow building, or they may be isolated from the world, do not communicate with others, and immerse themselves in their own world.
In this case, even knowing his existence, it is difficult to find his people.
In the end, Xu Beijin still set his sights on the control panel in front of him.
He can check how many players are on each floor of the narrow building, including narrow building residents and outsiders, as well as their respective positions through the control panel.
In this way, he can check with Ding Yi and others how many people they have found.
In addition, with Xu Beijin sitting on the top floor of Zhailou, the exchange of information is not a big problem.He can become a center for information exchange and transmission.
So after hesitating for a moment, Xu Beijin said: "Do you have a corresponding contact person on each floor? I need to find him. There is only one on the first floor, no matter the tasker or the residents of the narrow building."
The missionaries who were helpless in this matter looked at each other and remained silent.
And Ding Yi, Dai Wu, and Su Enya recalled and reported the corresponding contacts one by one.
At this time, Su Enya didn't lose her temper with Dai Wu anymore.She—he, frowning, kept thinking.
Xu Beijin checked the names according to what they said, and marked the corresponding targets.
Finally, Xu Beijin said: "There are still no contact persons on some floors."
These floors may be places where the three people's sphere of influence has not reached, or it may be because they have been here before and then left.No matter what, there are always some fish that slip through the net.
At this time, it was the turn of the rest of the taskers to play.
The taskers present, whether they were Fei and Wu Jian, or He Shujun, Ye Lan, Jia Yi, and Jia Er, who were from higher levels, all of them had their own familiar taskers.
In addition, Jia Yi and Jia Er said directly that they could contact the Gold Diggers organization.This organization must be able to provide sufficient channels and contacts.
Xu Beijin acted according to his words, and directly found the leader of the gold digger organization.
The other party responded with 12 points of vigilance and vigilance to his sudden appearance, but after Xu Beijin mentioned the names of Jia Yi, Jia Er, Mu Jiashi and others, he became dubious.
Xu Beijin acted as a relay, and Mu Jiashi and the others shared some information that was enough to win the leader's trust, and Xu Beijin also told him what they were doing.
Afterwards, the leader of the gold-digger organization, which is well-known in Narrow Building, said in shock: "You actually went to save the world without telling me?!"
Xu Beijin: "..."
He suddenly had some doubts about what kind of group the Gold Diggers Organization was.
But considering the reactions of A[-] and A[-] when they heard about Xu Beijin's nightmare, the reply from the leader of the gold digger organization doesn't seem so surprising...
Before that, rumors about the ultimate nightmare had already been raging in the narrow building, so after hearing about Xu Beijin's intentions, the leader readily agreed to Xu Beijin's request.
He even asked nervously: "Are we about to succeed now, or are we on the way to success?"
Xu Beijin felt a little funny, thought for a while, and replied, "On the road to success."
The other party was shocked for a moment, wondering if Xu Bei was joking or serious.
The leader then joined their conversation remotely.
Finally, when night fell, Xu Bei found at least one contact person on every floor relying on the network of the mission workers and the residents of the narrow building throughout the narrow building.
But Mu Jiashi still couldn't help sighing: "There is no way for the higher-ups."
There is nothing they can do about the extremely high floors that they have not touched.
The residents of the narrow building and those tasked, they may still be immersed in the nightmare, trying to improve their floors, and even turn their ears off the window.
For these people, they also simply don't know how to connect.
Xu Beijin said, "Don't worry. I can find them here."
His tone was very light, with a sense of reason and determination to the extreme.
At this time, Lingo suddenly said, "Are you tired?"
Xu Beijin paused.
The mission workers and residents of the narrow building coughed one after another, and then Mu Jiashi said in a timely manner: "Well, it's getting late, and we should take a break. Everyone... Let's go. Let's go..."
"It's over, it's over."
"I'm not in a hurry right now, I'm going to sleep."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm exhausted."
"Let's go. See you tomorrow..."
"Saving the world also requires adequate rest!"
"That's right, big brother goodbye!"
The crowd dispersed like birds and birds in an instant.
Ringo blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and simply stood up too.
Xu Beijin was only silent for a moment before he realized that his companions had disappeared without a trace.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and yawned uncontrollably.
He was indeed tired, from the moment he entered his nightmare, or in other words, from the moment he entered the narrow building... Endless exhaustion had always accumulated in his heart.
Maybe it is indeed time to take a break.
Moreover, he still has the authority of the mastermind... Maybe he can temporarily close his nightmare?Keep him from entering the gray mist while sleeping?
Xu Beijin's heart beat instantly.
But he still answered Ringo's question first: "I'm a little tired..."
Ringo complained, "It's not a little, it's very. You should take a break, Beijin."
Xu Beijin said, "I thought so too. I'm going to close my nightmare and get a good night's sleep."
"Is this okay?" Lin Po blinked, he couldn't see Xu Beijin's appearance, he could only hear Xu Beijin's voice, and he guessed his state through Xu Beijin's voice, "This is the best, you have a good rest."
Xu Beijin agreed, and suddenly asked suspiciously, "Where are you going?"
"Back to the bookstore..." Ringo replied.
They gathered at Ding Yi's place before and handled all the affairs.
But now, since everyone has dispersed, Lin Po also left Ding Yi's house on his own initiative, intending to go back to Xu Beijin's bookstore to rest.
Ringo said: "I don't like to be in other places. I want to be in a place where I can feel your presence."
Xu Bei smiled, but also felt a little ironic.
Soon, Lin Po came to Xu Beijin's bookstore.
Now he can freely enter and leave Xu Beijin's bookstore, instead of having to enter when Xu Beijin is at home.Xu Beijin had already changed his authority a long time ago.
Now, Ringo is also one of the owners of this bookstore.He hasn't even returned to his house not far from this bookstore for a long time.
Xu Beijin saw on the control panel, behind the "bookstore on the ground floor of the narrow building", followed by a faintly glowing name, Ringo's name.
He suddenly thought, what a miracle.
When he and Lingo first met, he felt that this man was unreasonable and annoying.How can there be someone who is so persistent and never tired of wanting to fight with him?
Even though Xu Beijin rejected him countless times, Lingo still insisted on his own opinion.
Afterwards, Ringo deliberately bought drinks to curry favor with him, and took the initiative to intervene in his dull and boring life...
There were other moves that inevitably brought them closer.
No matter what, it seems that from the moment Lingo noticed Xu Beijin, their future was destined to be tightly bound together.
They are special in the narrow building, and only they can understand each other.
Thinking of this, Xu Bei couldn't help feeling an indescribable touch.
He was distracted for a moment, and then used the control panel to lock his nightmare first, so that he could not enter the nightmare while sleeping.
He can only lock his own nightmare, after all, he can be said to be the "Master Brain" now, and this is the nightmare of the "Master Brain".
As for the nightmares of the other Narrow House residents, there was nothing he could do.The authority of the game mastermind does not allow them to escape the torment of nightmares, this is the setting of the game itself.
Only Xu Beijin has such a special identity, plus NE has entered a dormant state.
The owner of the foggy nightmare has already appeared, so Xu Beijin can take advantage of the loopholes to let himself sleep well.
Afterwards, Xu Beijin changed the division of the top floor of the narrow building, and carved out an independent and enclosed space for himself, and left a window——
He is not like NE, who can sleep in such a closed and empty place.
A bed is placed beside the window, but the scenery outside the window is only the plain gray fog.
But now Xu Beijin's mentality is different.
In the past, there were only his compatriots in the gray fog, but now, there is another NE in the gray fog...
Every time he thinks of this, Xu Beijin will feel a little bit of joy and gloat.
What happened to artificial intelligence?Doesn't artificial intelligence have a headache with junk data?
It's just these garbage data...
Thinking of this, Xu Beijin's smile gradually faded, but he couldn't help but sigh after all.
He stopped thinking about those frustrating things and turned to talk to Ringo.
He finally had a chance to have a good conversation with Ringo. He told him about his identity, his past experience, the situation faced by human beings, and his conversation with NE. After hesitating for a moment, he said Ringo's memory problem.
"Do you want to restore your memory?"
Xu Beijin was lying on the bed, and Lingo was already lying on the bed.
Xu Beijin felt drowsy constantly, but he still endured it, tried his best to stay awake, and asked Lingo.
Ringo said something vaguely.
"What?" Xu Beijin asked, "I didn't hear clearly."
"I'll listen to you." Ringo said, "I don't think it matters."
Xu Beijin woke up immediately, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's your past."
"I don't think that's my past." Ringo said honestly, "It's already... a past that doesn't belong to me. I don't know what I will become after I regain that memory."
Xu Bei was silent.
Of course he was also worried about this matter.He was worried—what if Ringo, who had memories, looked unfamiliar to him?What if Ringo regains his memory and doesn't like himself anymore?
But every time he thinks of this, Xu Beijin feels ashamed.He felt that he shouldn't think so, he should trust Ringo.He thought it was a...very selfish thought.
But Ringo obviously also knew the existence of this problem.
After all, Ringo may not want to regain that memory.It was the... past that he had forgotten.That "Ringo" is actually dead.
Xu Beijin was silent for too long, he felt that he should say something.
But Ringo spoke first: "I don't particularly want to restore my memory." He said frankly, "I think I'm fine now, with you—and others, but mainly with you, for a goal effort.
"I think this has made me very happy. If I recover my memory, I think I will face more changes."
Xu Bei stopped talking as much as he wanted.
Afterwards, Lingo said in a brisk tone: "We will wait until we successfully save the world. Also, Bei Jin, you can help me see what that memory looks like first."
Xu Bei was stunned, unable to laugh or cry for a moment: "Why do you want me to help you..."
"I believe you."
Xu Beijin fell silent almost immediately.
Lingo said softly: "If you think you will like me after restoring my memory, then let me restore my memory. If you don't like me in that memory, then don't restore it."
Xu Beijin couldn't help frowning, he said: "Lin Xi, I'm not... This is your memory, you can't judge it according to my preferences..."
"But I would." Ringo said, "my world is blank. You keep saying that about me. My world is all about you—you, and you and me together.
"I think this is very good. I really don't care about the memories of the past."
He said it with all his heart.
Xu Beijin's lips moved.
He wanted to say that Ringo has not yet seen the vast and vast world;
He's just an... NPC living in this closed game world.
Xu Bei is absolutely reluctant to use this word to describe Ringo, but it really sums up Ringo very well.
So at this moment, when they might be able to leave the narrow building, Xu Beijin began to hope that Ringo's world could be more colorful.
He didn't think about it that way before, they were all just prisoners in the narrow building before, so there was no need to think about that.But it's different now.
Though neither of them might even be able to leave the Narrows.
Xu Beijin smiled wryly.
Lin Po heard Xu Beijin's self-deprecating laughter, and he knew that his lover was always unconsciously pessimistic.
And he said, "Don't think about that. Memory or something, wait until we save the world—no, wait until we've done our 'nonsense' stuff." "
Xu Beijin was speechless, and after a while he said, "That's all you know?"
"Because I want to be closer to you." Ringo was very straightforward, "The kind with negative distance."
Xu Beijin could only feel his face burning hot, and thought to himself that no one could see it.He gave up on himself and said softly, "Yes."
Ling Po turned over and sat up directly from the bed, thought for a while, and then said seriously: "But you are not at the bottom of the narrow building now."
There was a strong smile in Xu Beijin's voice: "So, you shouldn't do this kind of thing now."
Ringo: "..."
Isn't it fun to tease him! !
He lay back on the bed with a snap, was angry for a long time, and then said in a stiff tone: "Good night..."
Xu Beijin couldn't help laughing, and then replied: "Good night..."
This may be the happiest and most relaxing night since he entered the narrow building.
But when he woke up the next day, he still had to face more serious real problems.
