Chapter 92 Where did the hidden weapon come from? !
The office was quiet and dark. Although he was not very courageous, he certainly could not show any cowardice in front of Xiao Qin.
So as to avoid being laughed at by the children - don’t you care about the face of your predecessors?
Time passed by minute by minute, and nothing happened. It was so quiet that Ye Xing almost thought that the guarding work was over here, and it would be okay to take a nap from now on.
In the game, one can also restore physical strength through sleep. Although he is an employee and doesn't need to worry about these, the character will still show signs of fatigue to a certain extent.
Ye Xuan didn't want to be criticized by Sister Lin for strange reasons like "the game character has dark circles under his eyes, which affects the company's image", so even if he went offline, he would set a time for the Chinese medicine doctor to sleep.
Even a holographic game doesn't have to be this realistic, right?
He thinks it is incredible that people who stay up late playing games are required to maintain eight hours of sleep a day in the game.
But this has actually become one of the promotional points of "Dream Travel", which makes people wonder what type of game this is.
Xiao Qin yawned.
He always goes to bed early and gets up early. In the past, he would not work overtime even when the research reached the most critical moment. The reason was that he had the confidence to solve the problem within the working hours.
Unfortunately, things are different now. A monitoring device has to be personally guarded by Director Qin, who was unwilling to even attend scientific research conferences.
If some people in the institute saw this scene, they would definitely laugh out loud.
"Xiao Qin, are you sleepy?" Ye Xuan looked at the other person. When he was this age, he was still a high school student, and he didn't know what time it was every night to do his homework.
But he just felt that Xiao Qin was still a child who couldn't stay up late.
"No." Xiao Qin was not very good at hiding it. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Senior, what time is it now?"
He seldom uses a cell phone and doesn't carry one with him now.
"It's a little after two in the morning." Ye Xuan took out his cell phone and took a look.
The faint light flashed for a moment and then went out.
It's just a game, there's no way they would have to wait that long. In fact, according to the real flow rate, less than five minutes should have passed, but here it's already several hours.
Just when Ye Xuan was about to completely relax his vigilance, the light above his head suddenly made a strange sound.
"Snap——" seemed to be the sound of a lamp breaking.
Xiao Qin became alert and changed from his original relaxed sitting position in the corner to a half-squatting defensive posture.
Ye Xuan was puzzled: the lights were not on, why did he break them? To attract their attention? Or was he a "phantom thief" who wanted to inform them of his coming?
The lamp was indeed broken, but it did not have much impact on the already dark room.
"Xiao Qin, be careful with the broken glass later." Ye Xing calmly reminded the boy beside him.
The other party listened carefully and heard no other movement, so he stood up.
"Oh, why is the lamp broken?" Ye Xuan showed off his line delivery skills.
And it's a great read without any emotional fluctuations.
The enemy, who was still nowhere to be seen at this time, might have realized that he had alerted the enemy, or perhaps his goal had been achieved, so he remained motionless.
Ye Xuan and Xiao Qin worked in perfect harmony. The latter went to investigate the situation first, leaving him alone to guard the equipment.
Although this office is not an impregnable safe, he still believes that he can protect it.
After all, the game itself should be beneficial to the protagonist, otherwise how difficult would it be for the plot to continue?
Xiao Qin on the other side took two or three steps, and found a glass marble mixed in with the fragments of the lamp, which was most likely the "murder weapon".
But he could understand using a marble to break a window, but how could a marble fly out of nowhere in an office without even a window?
"Senior, I found a glass marble." Xiao Qin was not sure whether there was anything wrong with the marble, so he did not touch it directly.
"Oh?" Ye Xuan thought, nothing is impossible in the game, even if it is nonsense, he has to accept it, "Never mind it, I don't believe that the marble can jump up by itself and smash the instrument."
Having said that, the marble did not give any face to the popular real-life NPC. It bounced up and headed straight for the monitoring equipment.
Strange thing.
Ye Xing cursed inwardly, raised his hand and waved it - the marble was pierced through the middle by a silver needle and nailed to the opposite wall, which was covered with glass cracks.
It also happened in the institute's laboratory at the beginning. The drug jumped out on its own as if it had become a spirit, and later caused a disaster.
So, their enemy is actually this unscientific and weird existence?
That would be very tricky.
"Senior?" The office was still in darkness. Xiao Qin heard the movement from the Chinese medicine doctor and the slight sound on the wall, but he could not make out what happened in the blink of an eye.
"It's okay." Ye Xing knew that researchers like Xiao Qin generally didn't believe in these weird things, so he didn't plan to say more. "Xiao Qin, have you found anything else?"
The fact that Xiao Qin was able to find the marbles mixed among the fragments was the result of his full concentration. It was too dark here and he couldn't see anything else.
At this moment, a gust of wind passed by his ears.
"Senior, be careful!" His heart trembled, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"Don't worry," Ye Xingyou raised his hand, and the silver needle actually flashed a glimmer of light in the darkness, "I'm fine."
A sandbag was nailed next to the marbles.
"How strange," Ye Xuan turned on the flashlight on his phone and shone it across the street. He turned off the light in less than a second, but he still saw the new "hidden weapon" clearly. "Why are they all children's toys?"
The needle was extremely thin and it strung the sandbag tightly together, so that not a single drop of the "inside" of the bag leaked out.
And it was nailed to the wall and was stable, without any shaking.
"Senior, did you hear any sound?" Xiao Qin had sharp ears and heard some unusual noises above the room.
Ye Xuan originally thought that this was no different from the previous two and threw it without paying any attention - but it actually missed?!
He identified the location of the "hidden weapon" again, raised his wrist and swung it carefully - missed!
The sound was getting closer, and the thing was almost in front of him, but he missed twice in a row.
How could that be? With the Chinese medicine's unique acupuncture skills, no matter if the patient is alive or dead, he should be able to...
Wait.
He had a guess in his mind.
Luck, raise your arm, and fire several needles in a row!
Surrounded from all directions, up, down, left, right and center, let's see if it can escape.
"Da." Although it was not nailed to the wall, something still fell from the air.
Ye Xuan used the same method to take a photo, and it turned out to be a bamboo dragonfly.
It's quite flexible. Even Doraemon might not be as flexible as this.
So, is this Toy Story?
"What the hell is this?" Ye Xing was increasingly unable to understand the script.
This is a far cry from the simple summary of "future and traditional Chinese medicine" he gave when he first received the role.
But who can understand the thoughts of game planners?
He is not the only one in the play who would think that all this is abnormal. Look how easily Xiao Qin accepted this setting.
Ye Xuan lamented that it was a sin to stay awake in a holographic game, and he still couldn't fully immerse himself in the role.
Moreover, the actors themselves have one more burden than pure experiencers like players, a burden called work, so it is naturally difficult for them to fully devote themselves to the plot.
After a few minutes, there was no movement.
This wave of hidden weapons should be completely dealt with.
Ye Xuan let out a breath and relaxed his tense nerves.
I didn't expect that guarding was still difficult. That highly evasive bamboo dragonfly was quite difficult to deal with.
He quickly glanced at the time. It was 4:30 in the morning.
So much time passed in just a few rounds of "battle".
The system shows that the sunrise time that day is 5:30.
Just hold on for another hour and you'll be done.
Ye Xuan didn't know why the guarding was successful after dawn.
Maybe the enemy is an unknown object in the dark night.
Although it takes one hour according to the in-game time, you don’t actually have to wait too long.
Ye Xuan thought that the level of probing just now was enough, and another wave would be meaningless.
Some games might arrange several waves of similar “attacks” in the same level, but in his impression, “Dream Game” would not do that.
Perhaps because he couldn't bear to see him get slapped in the face again, nothing happened until dawn.
"Senior, it's dawn." Xiao Qin later sat in the corner near the door and guarded it, worried that someone would break in.
So he was the first to feel the light coming in through the crack in the door.
The morning sunshine is not very warm, but it gives people hope.
"Well," Ye Xuan stood up and stretched his stiff muscles, "I finally completed the task successfully."
I can report to the captain now.
An hour is just a few minutes for him, but it is a real hour for this "body".
I didn't sleep all night.
"Xiao Qin, you can open the door now." Seeing the task on the system being stamped and approved, Ye Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You can go back and rest first. I've sent a message to the captain, and she will take over later."
In fact, they would set out for outdoor testing in just a few hours, but he didn't want Xiao Qin to be sleepy and affect his health and the test.
After all, the test data needs to be monitored by the other party throughout the process, and no carelessness is allowed.
"Okay, senior." Xiao Qin always obeyed the Chinese medicine doctor. "I'll set the alarm."
Ye Xuan nodded and let the other party leave.
He was the only one left in the office at this time.
He walked to the downed bamboo dragonfly, but didn't reach out to pick it up, just stared at it.
It's like trying to see a flower.
The bamboo helicopter looked like an ordinary toy, no different from those sold in squares and parks. He had played with it when he was a child.
He took a few more steps, staring at the marbles and sandbags on the wall.
It was as if he wanted to burn them to ashes with his eyes.
The glass marbles were covered in cracks, but the sandbags were still bulging, just like the ones in the grocery store.
But these things suddenly appeared out of the room with a closed door and no windows for no reason, and it was obvious that they were enemies with them.
Who would believe that they are not weird?
Anyway, he was the first one who didn't believe it.
This script was more complicated than he had imagined.
Zombies, he could barely understand them.
As for Chinese medicine, it would be unacceptable if it doesn’t treat difficult and complicated diseases. It’s a professional practice.
But this toy...
Did we go to the wrong set?
