Chapter 232 The First Person
The other party was stunned for a moment, then put the small crossbow in her hand back into her backpack and smiled: "If I wanted his skills or items, I would have taken action on the first day he came to Ruoai Company."
You Xi did not relax her vigilance just because the other party put away the crossbow. His words still could not explain why he followed her all the way and took action after watching the battle for a while.
Seeing that she was silent, the other party probably understood and said: "The weakness of his bat simulation is in the neck. If you hit there, he can't continue to release poison gas."
You Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, "So you want to say that you followed me to help me?"
Even if her tone was calm, he could hear the vigilance and alienation from it. He dared to guarantee that as long as he made a rash move now, her Tang sword would be on his neck in the next second.
Accustomed to fighting side by side with her in the past, he was not used to her being like this now, and besides, this was the first time he saw her using a different face.
He sighed, and still obediently took out the pink glass bottle that he had never been willing to use before, switched to the fifth gear, and burned the charred remains of the veteran traveler on the ground.
A gust of wind blew, and the last bit of black ash on the road also disappeared.
He held the [High Temperature Perfume] in his hand and walked slowly to her: "I didn't believe it when she told me, after all, so many worlds have passed since the acid rain world. But I have been looking for a way to stop all this, so I decided to give it a try..."
"She?" You Xi frowned.
"She said someone would help me, and she also said you would know who she was. I didn't expect that person would be you."
When You Xi saw him take out the [High Temperature Perfume] and heard about the Acid Rain World, she had already guessed: "Lin Wu." After all, she had never given such a star tool to a few people, and You Xi had already guessed who the other party was talking about.
"Yes, it's me." He nodded. "It's been a long time since we last met. I'm glad to see you safe and sound again. Also, your intuition is right. I really didn't plan to help you at first. I was there when you had the interview. Although you tried your best to suppress your strength and speed, I have fought with you so many times. Your skills subconsciously make me feel familiar. But your name and appearance have changed. I can't be sure..."
"So you followed me, wanting to confirm whether it was me?" She understood. He knew that the bat man had set his sights on her, so he wanted to confirm whether she was You Xi from the process of her fighting. After all, one's strength would be hidden during the interview, but not in a life-and-death battle.
If she hadn't taken out the Tang sword and the [High Temperature Perfume], he should have been lurking the whole time and not taking action.
"Sorry." Although he explained, Lin Wu still felt a little sorry.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. If it were me, I would also confirm again and again before taking action." You Xi looked around and took out the jeep again, "Get in the car, let's go to another place."

An hour later, in a hot pot restaurant open all night.
The biggest advantage of meeting old friends in a world with incomplete information is that you can share what you have.
But compared to her, the emperor of Europe, Lin Wu's luck has never been good. The place where he entered the world is even more bizarre. When he regained consciousness, he was in a cemetery. In addition, it was still night, and there were frequent abnormalities. He started to escape without any preparation.
Wukong City was his second stop, but after the "beating" at the previous stop, he had become an experienced veteran traveler.
Unlike her, he does not have a body ready to "enter" the mission world, so he usually carries out missions by insinuating or "entering" the body of the natives. He does not like "entering" the body of the natives.
So when Youxi met him in the tsunami world and the black worm world, he used insinuation both times, but each time he would use the "identity mask" to change his original appearance.
In most cases, he does not have the world identity and background memory of the identity like Youxi. So in this regard, he cannot provide Youxi with too much information, and his information sources are all collected later.
However, this time when he woke up in the previous stop "Phantom Manor", he found that his space, cards, and materials were greatly reduced, and he could not even find an "identity mask" to change his appearance.
According to the display on the mobile phone screen, his bound weapon has become his skill, the space has disappeared, the world mission is unknown, the system has no response, the points cannot be used, and the total number of props and materials is only ten - fortunately [High Temperature Perfume] is one of the ten items.
What's worse is that although "Unlimited Currency" is turned on, he can't even find a decent store in "Phantom Manor", and he has money but nowhere to spend it...
This station is normal, with supermarkets and stores everywhere, but his "Unlimited Currency" column is closed. So when Youxi saw him in the security team of "Ruo Ai" before, he thought that he was lurking because he found clues quickly, which was too much.
He is the "Ruo Ai" who went there because he had no money and had to work. Later, when he encountered an accident while investigating the Meifeng Museum, he got clues and found that he had accidentally found the right place.
You Xi, who originally thought that she was very miserable: ...
As expected, there is harm only when there is contrast. Even in such a world where all aspects of space, ability and materials are restricted, she is still a European emperor.
"So, this face now is your real appearance--"
"Yes." Lin Wu clenched his fist and placed it to his lips and coughed softly. He knew she would notice this, but he still felt embarrassed when she stared at him so bluntly. "My name in this world is Lin Xiang, 30 years old, and a retired soldier."
"Good morning, I'm 22 years old, a freshly graduated college student." You Xi said, pouring a large portion of marbled beef and hand-cut lamb into the red soup. "Eat more. When you meet me, there's nothing else, but at least you have enough food and drink."
Lin Wu: ...
The two chatted for a while about their guesses about this world. Lin Wu had one more (half) station of experience than her, and had experience in finding and confirming stations.
The location of the station is the same as Youxi guessed. It is not placed in a small random place. Most of them are related to the events at this station, and the events often occur in several important places.
He encountered an emergency in the elevator of the Meifeng Museum. Elevators usually have mirrors, and that elevator is also, with mirrors on three sides.
At that time, the elevator suddenly broke down, the lights were all dark, and it was stuck between the floors. The people in the elevator called for help but to no avail. Because of panic and fear, a conflict occurred. After a few words, the conflict intensified, and two of them suddenly attacked and injured people.
Lin Wu's solution was similar to hers. After the incident was over and everyone was rescued from the elevator, he also hid himself as soon as possible, and then he received clues. He realized that he had accidentally hit the right place.
After listening to this, Youxi took out a pen and paper and wrote down several places where the accident happened: the bathroom in the room, the subway car, the Ferris wheel observation car, and the elevator.
The common point of these places that trigger the "mirror world" is that they all have mirrors or mirror objects.
You Xi thought about it, and wrote down the triggering reason: closed space.
Lin Wu circled the Ferris wheel: "Was it daytime or nighttime when the accident happened here?"
"Nighttime."
"So, the clue of dark refers to nighttime or dark places. Added together, it is closed space, darkness and mirrors (mirror objects)."
"There should be others. I tried it in the bathroom later. At night, I closed the bathroom door and looked at the mirror for a long time, but it didn't trigger the 'mirror world'."
Lin Wu frowned and thought for a while: "How much does it have to do with the number of people? There are many people in the subway, Ferris wheel and elevator."
"But I was the only one in the bathroom on the first night, and when the 'Mirror World' appeared that day, the impact was minimal - wait!"
You Xi suddenly thought of something, and her eyes swept across the four locations again, "Rather than saying that the impact was minimal, it's better to say that there was no impact at all. I only subconsciously noticed the strange state of the mirror that day, and I didn't confirm it. It was because of the subway incident later that I confirmed it. So strictly speaking, the 'Mirror World' was not triggered in the bathroom at the first location."
After all, the reason why she had that little subconscious feeling was because her five senses were 9 times that of ordinary people. If it was just an ordinary person in the bathroom that day, they would not notice it at all, and their emotions would not be affected at all.
As she spoke, she crossed out the first location on the paper, and then looked at the remaining three. From this, she could easily deduce the triggering conditions that had been missed before.
Darkness does not only refer to the night and the dark places.
Darkness can also refer to the human heart. When people's emotions fluctuate, conflicts, arguments, quarrels... all these negative emotions belong to dark matter.
Therefore, it is people themselves who awaken the "mirror world" representing the dark side.
In the past few days, malicious injuries have occurred frequently, and the frequency of the "mirror world" has obviously increased. But all events have a source. What exactly triggered the "mirror world" in the first place?
Perhaps if we find this source, we can get clues about the station.
Youxi's phone vibrated again.
The message on the screen was updated.
Congratulations on finding the four elements that trigger the "Mirror World": closed space, dark place, mirror (mirror object), negative emotions
Tip: Explore the hidden laboratory of the "Ruoai" Science and Technology Building, find the initial cause of the "Mirror World", and you will get a hidden reward.
At the bottom is a "Return" button.
Probably because only Youxi figured out the last trigger condition, and she hasn't said it to Lin Wu, so only she received the new message.
She pressed "Return", clicked on the "Show" function button, looked up and said to Lin Wu: "Do you want to team up?"
**
Lin Wu has never teamed up with anyone. After all, he just came to this world and doesn't trust anyone.
Youxi just wanted to try whether the message would be shared after teaming up. The result is -
congratulations to the passengers: Chen An and Lin Xiang, the team was successfully formed.
Teammate: Lin Xiang
Teammate permissions (enabled): Damage immunity, SMS, arrival station (optional), reminder (optional).
Youxi clicked on the arrival station, and a pop-up window popped up on the screen: The station has not been confirmed (return in 5 seconds)
Youxi: ...
She clicked on the reminder again, and a pop-up window popped up again: There is already 1 reminder to share, do you want to choose? Yes/No?
After Youxi clicked "Yes", Lin Wu immediately received the same update message as her.
Lin Wu looked at his mobile phone and smiled: "It feels like I'm going to start my mission life led by you again."
Youxi remembered the miserable experience of the other party being "caught by Xing Min" in the last world, smiled without saying a word, and decided to make more compensation in this world.
The first step of compensation: a five-star hotel suite.
Lin Wu has no money to stay in a hotel, and he doesn't want to wantonly harm the indigenous people to obtain money by illegal means, so he currently lives in the employee dormitory provided by the "Ruo Ai" company.
You Xi drove him back to pick up his luggage, and then took him back to the hotel where he was staying, and also booked him a luxury suite on the seventh floor.
The second step of compensation: You choose and I pay.
Lin Wu has no space, but because he has a box of unopened nutrient solution in his initial items like her, he later found a storage loophole in the item grid.
As long as the box is smaller than a certain volume and has not been opened, it will be regarded as an object by default.
So he later found a storage box of similar capacity, put in the things he needed, wrapped the gap with tape, and then successfully stored it in the item grid.
Of course, it was extremely inconvenient to take things out this way. Every time, he had to take out the entire box and unpack it at the same time. After taking out the things he needed, he had to pack them tightly again with tape before he could put them in.
Once the box was damaged, no matter how he wrapped the damaged part, it could not be put in.
So some less important personal belongings, such as daily necessities, clothes, and some dry food that could fill his stomach, were all carried manually in a large travel bag.
As for cars, because of their large size, the item grid did not recognize them at all - of course, he could not afford a car now.
Bicycles could be stored, but Lin Wu himself ran much faster than a bicycle, so storing a bicycle was very useless.
Yu·Ou Huang·Xi then diverged and asked Lin Wu, if the size of a bicycle was recognized by the item grid, then what about a motorcycle?
Lin Wu: ...
After the test specimen was tested, You Xi took advantage of the fact that they both had to work the middle shift the next day and had the morning off, and took Lin Wu to the car dealership and bought him a heavy motorcycle.
Lin Wu: ...
After that, she took him to the gold shop and bought him two gold bars for easy exchange for currency later, and she also bought two more for herself as a backup.
Lin Wu: ...
For some reason, I felt like I was being kept...
**
That afternoon, the two found a parking lot for the jeep and heavy motorcycle, and walked to "Ruo Ai" as usual.
Although Lin Wu entered "Ruo Ai" earlier than her, it was only two days earlier, and his current patrol range was below the tenth floor. And these ten floors have been fully explored by him, and there are no hidden laboratories.
"According to the floor markings, the floors below the tenth floor are the company's normal offices, meeting rooms, lounges, etc., and the floors above the tenth floor are high-rise offices. But all the markings only go up to the eighteenth floor. Starting from the nineteenth floor, the specific functions of each floor are not clearly marked, so I suggest that we start from the nineteenth floor."
"Then let's do it tonight. We are all on the middle shift tonight. After the handover is completed at eleven o'clock, we can get the pass card and go upstairs directly."
After that, the two began to make a specific plan, including which security guard to get the pass card from, how to go to the monitoring center to place the virus software that disrupts the monitoring screen, and the most critical route for the two to go upstairs.
At about eleven o'clock that night, after the two finished the handover work, they quietly sneaked back into the building.
