Chapter 046 Prison Break Simulator

Ji Xu returned to the single dormitory. The sky was the same as when he left. He had been away for too long this time, and couldn't help but feel as if he were in another world. He turned his head to look at the people walking in the playground... After a long time, Ji Xu stood up, with a lightness and swiftness that was completely different from the sequelae of sitting for a long time.

There were a few pieces of candy scattered in the box at the bottom of the closet. There should have been a pure white mask there, but now it was gone. He folded the grey coat that was custom-made by the church and put it away. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the air was filled with a sweet aroma of melted milk. He stuffed the candy in the box into the refrigerator and turned back to water the roses on the way.

The order of seasons is always like this.

He seldom looks back to the past, but he is used to preserving it.

The tree hole flickered under the computer. After returning to reality, it turned into a chat box again. The changed red icon looked festive. It asked hesitantly: "Clothes and masks... aren't they a waste?"

"No." Ji Xu pushed his glasses down.

At this moment, he was sitting sideways on the windowsill. The sun outside was bright and warm. There were no believers wearing badges in the playground. There were only ordinary students, who were quite tanned. They went out on a date under the sun, showing a youthfulness and prosperity that was different from the simulator.

Ji Xu: "I know it's better to leave the clothes and mask, just like Blue Enchantress, they are special props that I can't obtain again, but feelings can't be measured by value, it's better to give them as a parting gift than to be worn by the enemy one day. I thought you understood my values ​​when I extracted the powder from the potion and gave it to others."

After all, the mission didn't ask him to give away the life-saving items.

Because you left without any regrets... Thinking of this, the tree hole said: "This report has been sent."

The third DLC had a golden vine wrapped around its border. Ji Xu ignored it as usual. He glanced at it, closed his computer, and went to the cafeteria to eat. Ji Xu could cook, but who doesn't like to save trouble? After three or four weeks, the familiar routine of his life gradually erased the traces of his lawless madness, and his temperament became more peaceful. Until one day when he woke up, it was raining heavily outside, and Ji Xu walked to the window to examine himself.

When he saw it raining some time ago, he habitually thought about how to ensure that the wound would not be infected, how to clean the traces would be easier, and that helicopters could not be flown during thunderstorms otherwise their homes would be robbed.

Now, the first thought that flashed through Ji Xu's mind was that someone downstairs had forgotten to bring an umbrella, and the unlucky guy was hesitating whether to go back upstairs to get it.

“…”

His shoulders slowly relaxed, convinced that he was back in control and would not go to extremes by repeating his outlaw behavior.

Ji Xu turned around and picked up the folding umbrella from the drawer. He opened the window and threw the umbrella at the feet of a stranger classmate downstairs. He received a grateful look and a resolute back as he rushed into the rain to attend class without hesitation. It was so generous and heroic to look at. Ji Xu smiled unconsciously and sat back in front of the computer.

He rarely took the initiative to say hello: "Good morning."

Shudong was flattered, "Good morning, employer, what DLC do you want to play this time?"

Ji Xu thought for a moment and said, "The prison break simulator. If I can't control myself in the future, at least I can practice it now."

The tiger in the tree hole was shocked: "???"

Is this a skill that should be developed in advance?

Ji Xu pulled out the keyboard as if nothing had happened: "It was just a joke, what are you afraid of? I didn't expect you to have such a normal outlook. I won't do anything embarrassing like running away after being arrested."

Shudong realized later that Ji Xu had the same sometimes inconsistent but extremely firm moral standards as Schrödinger. Although he would not hesitate to instigate a chopping of people, he would obey the law if caught.

Ji Xu added: "Unless the mission requires it, like this simulator."

Tree Hole: “…”

Don't talk nonsense! You don't care about the mission at all! You just think the background setting is not real!

Ji Xu smiled again. He was actually not stingy with expression and jokes, but the creatures that had been in contact with him for a long time would always become more cautious. Originally it was only humans, but now even the chat assistant could not escape the fate of becoming increasingly cautious. Ji Xu looked at the game selection interface again.

His fingers wrapped in tactical gloves hovered over the keyboard. The chat box for entering the code had been flashing for more than ten minutes, but Ji Xu had not yet finished typing.

The tree hole then noticed Ji Xu's rare hesitation, and it silently prepared to look up the dictionary: "What's wrong, aren't there enough homophones?"

To be honest, sometimes it feels that the employer's nostalgic habits are a bit strange, completely different from those of normal people.

"No." Ji Xu finally moved. Surprisingly, he did not use any homophones, but typed a simple and direct "c". He moved the mouse to confirm, "I just feel that every time I go to the simulator, I have to take something with me, and this time is no exception."

But this time, Ji Xu chose to take away the code name.

A vague code name is definitely not as useful as a real item, but the advantage is that it saves the brain cells to come up with a name every time the game starts - yes, Ji Xu doesn't want to come up with a name every day, there are limited homophones, and if he continues like this, sooner or later he will be forced to look up the dictionary, so it is better to make a decision early.

Ji Xu was hesitant about whether he should follow his habit and come up with a homophonic code name that could be used in any simulator, or change it to a new name that was unfamiliar but more memorable. It was a small matter that others could easily decide, but for a nostalgic person like him who had chosen the same birthday gift without hesitation for five consecutive years when asked by his family, it was a big test.

The reason for the final decision was that Ji Xu felt that nostalgia was not conservative, and there was no need to force things to remain unchanged. He closed his eyes, and the familiar darkness and suffocation descended, which made him feel a little nostalgic.

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Xu stood in a small alley. Leaden clouds covered the sky, but the air was extremely dry. The poor air environment made his throat uncomfortable when he breathed.

He coughed a few times, took out a mask from his waist bag and put it on.

The city looks like something out of a gangster gun-fight movie, with garbage and sewage everywhere, cans and wine bottles everywhere, and wanted posters plastered on the bare brick walls at both ends. In the photos, men and women with different expressions are facing the camera with disdain or contemplation.

Ji Xu put on the hood of his sweatshirt and walked out as he habitually avoided the cans that made noises. When he reached the end, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and suddenly turned around and walked back, looking up at the last flyer which had no photos but only words on it.

The corners of the flyer were blown up by the wind, and the narration that perfectly blended into it was written in neat and tidy font: "Did you see those ten wanted posters in front? That's right, they are all the criminals you want to jailbreak. Players, charge forward!"

Season sequence:…

The narrator seems to be getting more and more nervous.

He walked back and tore up the wanted poster as he went. It took him some time to leave the alley. He took out his cell phone with the criminals he was about to rescue in his pocket, feeling very satisfied.

This time when he opened his eyes, he was not in the safe house, so Ji Xu found the slightly unfamiliar navigation software on his mobile phone. He clicked on the address he used last time under the search bar and called a taxi. As for whether the destination was a safe house or near the prison, it all depended on fate.

Suddenly, Ji Xu noticed a gaze coming from behind, and his sight moved from his back to the taxi-hailing interface on his phone.

He calmly turned sideways, postponed the taxi call time by ten minutes, turned on the record function, turned off the screen, and adjusted the camera to focus on the back while letting his wrist drop. After about ten seconds, the gaze that was filled with scrutiny and judgment disappeared.

Ji Xu waited for a while before picking up his phone to flip through the key clips of the video. Not long after, a young man who was waiting for the bus with him came over. He was wearing knee pads and holding a skateboard, and holding a lollipop. He turned around and greeted him casually. Ji Xu moved to the side and recognized that this stranger was the peeper from before, and he looked very similar to one of the wanted posters.

——It seems that the cans and wine bottles in the alley are not accidental, but are warning devices deliberately placed there by someone. They are ordinary and inconspicuous.

The peeper probably didn't expect that when he came back after finishing his work, all the wanted posters on the wall had been torn off. Not only that, the newcomer hadn't kicked the garbage all over the ground yet, so he had no idea when he threw it away. He had to run to the only passerby who was standing still nearby to talk to him.

Wei Nian stuffed the gun into his trouser pocket, covered it with a worn-out skateboard he had picked up, and chatted casually: "Handsome guy, have you seen my friend? He told me that he just looked for me in the alley, but left when he didn't see me. I don't know where he went."

Ji Xu thought this guy was quite lively: "What's your friend's name?"

Wei Nian complained: "We are online friends. We agreed to go skateboarding somewhere exciting. Who knows his real name?"

Great, I guess the exciting place you are talking about is prison, and you don’t even know if this netizen is a man or a woman.

Wei Nian had a clear plan. Obviously, a normal sanitation worker would not leave the garbage all over the ground and tear up the flyers. An abnormal person would not be in the mood to pay attention to the prisoners. In their eyes, they were all losers. Only a weirdo would tear up his things, but a weirdo would not stay there and wait for a taxi.

It just so happened that the weird Ji Xu kept asking, "What's his online name?"

Wei Nian held down his gun again, thinking about dragging the man into the alley for interrogation. He thought passers-by were gossiping too much, so he answered him with a bright smile: "C, his online username is C."

Tree Hole: “Oh wow!”

Season sequence: "..."

So even netizens have an idea of ​​what profession he is in this simulator. We’ll study it when we get back.

The taxi that had been delayed for ten minutes came. The driver stuck his head out and looked around. They were the only two standing stupidly on the dirty street. The person who called the taxi was self-evident. He stepped back and honked the horn to hurry. Ji Xu walked towards the taxi without looking back: "I know where your online friend is, follow me."

Unexpectedly, Wei Nian, who caught an insider, had a changed expression. He chased after him for a few steps and gave up trying to cover up his mistake: "What a coincidence, you can't judge a person by appearance, my friend. So you got the wanted warrant? I'm not complaining to you, they are not worth much, what do you want?"

Follow the map to find the right one.

He is not stupid. If he gives up the ready-made photos, will he go to the prison to find a needle in a haystack based on his memory in the future?

"Didn't you say it was C who did it?" Ji Xu asked back as he opened the car door. Wei Nian, who was about to make a sound, shut up immediately when he saw the driver looking at him, showing a big smile, then turned to face Ji Xu and disappeared completely, changing his attitude very quickly. He quickly squeezed into the back seat of the taxi and hinted at Ji Xu with his eyes that they should chat, but Ji Xu kept turning his head to observe the scenery on the street and remained indifferent.

Wei Nian swallowed his anger and bent down to put the skateboard underneath.

Feeling someone kicking his leg, Ji Xu turned around, then slowly lowered his head and stared at him: "What's wrong with you?"

The driver looked over again suspiciously.

Wei Nian immediately sat up straight and gave a bright smile. He felt that Ji Xu was a little crazy. How could there be such an outrageous person? If God gave him another chance, he would definitely drag the man into the alley and have a fight.

Wei Nian typed a string of words on his phone's memo: "Keep your voice down! My face is still on the wanted poster. Didn't you see the driver kept looking back?"

"Oh." Ji Xu took a quick look and said directly, "I'm not up there, what does it have to do with me?"
