Chapter 19 Summer Vacation
July 10, 2020, from this day on, the summer vacation for high school students has arrived.
The concept of summer vacation does not exist for Ji Minghuan, but the game character he created, "Gu Wenyu", can enjoy a long vacation of two months.
After taking a nap, Ji Minghuan suddenly opened his eyes in bed and looked up at the clock.
The local time in Lijing is 3:30 pm.
He took out the phone beside his pillow and found two WeChat messages on the lock screen. One was from his best friend "Li Qingping" and the other was from his brother "Gu Qiye". The former asked him to come out to the bar for a drink, while the latter asked him and his sister to stay at home and not go out, as he would be home to cook later.
After a while of deciding between the two, Ji Minghuan still rejected Li Qingping's invitation. After all, he had not seen his other "family member" in person since he created this game character. If he stayed at home for a while longer, he might be able to find out more about her.
Ji Minghuan lay on the bed with his eyes lowered, looking at the restraints wrapped around his fingertips while recalling the "role memory" of the past twenty-four hours.
The game system has introduced that when he is not taking over the role, the character will act according to a set of "action rules" deduced from his "role logic", that is to say:
If he is a madman who does all kinds of evil during the role, then during the time when he is not taking over the character's body, the character will automatically perform actions such as burning, killing and looting;
On the contrary, if he is an honest person who abides by the law during the performance, his character will also maintain a normal behavior pattern.
Ji Minghuan is a very honest man. During the performance, apart from twisting off other people's heads and using them as bats, he did not do anything out of the ordinary.
So his character was also very well-behaved. As far as I could remember, Gu Wenyu slept until two in the afternoon that day. Perhaps it was because he had overused his supernatural powers last night and his body had consumed too much energy.
But it's already summer vacation and no one will care about him.
Next, an hour after waking up, he heated up the meal left by Gu Qiye in the microwave and ate it, then sat in the room to practice his daily training of supernatural powers.
The training lasted for an hour, and finally at 3:30 pm, Ji Minghuan fell asleep from the prison cell and took over Gu Wenyu's body.
"This feeling of being out of control is terrible... I remember that the system settings allow you to turn on '24-hour control of the game character', but it also says: Doing so will put too much mental strain on you, as it is equivalent to controlling both your main body and the character's body at the same time, keeping your consciousness in a high-pressure, multitasking state, which is likely to lead to 'schizophrenia'."
Ji Minghuan yawned as he thought about it, tears of fatigue welling up in his eyes, and he smacked his lips unconsciously a few times, "If we really have to separate, then let's do it... At least I have a companion in the prison cell."
It was obvious that he was unwilling to give the character even an hour of free time, and he still felt safer by operating manually.
He put on his school uniform jacket, left the room, and went downstairs.
Standing at the stairs, looking sideways, he could see a tall figure in the living room. That was Gu Wenyu's sister, Su Zimai. She stayed at a classmate's house last night, so Ji Minghuan didn't see her in person. He only had a certain understanding of her in Gu Wenyu's memory.
Su Zimai had short hair that went past her ears, and she was wearing a green tennis suit. Her facial features were bright like her mother's, but her features were cold and sharp like her father's, making her look more androgynous. If I had to say... it was an image that could attract many lesbians.
As far as I can remember, Su Zimai is currently 16 years old and in his first year of high school, Gu Wenyu is 17 years old and in his second year of high school and will be promoted to his third year after school starts, and his brother is 19 years old and in his first year of college.
But among the three, Gu Wenyu looks the youngest, perhaps because of his droopy eyes and sickly look. Although his temperament is not good, his good genes are there, and his appearance looks very delicate. If he spends a little time to dress up, it will not be a problem for him to be asked for his contact information when he goes out.
The reason why the younger sister's surname is Su instead of Gu is because Su Zimai's parents had stipulated that "sons take the father's surname, and daughters take the mother's surname."
Su Zimai is a daughter, so she naturally took her mother Su Ying's surname, while the other two brothers took their father Gu Zhuoan's surname.
At this moment, she was leaning against the back of the sofa, watching TV silently.
Ji Minghuan sat on the other side of the sofa and turned on the electric fan beside him. The fan blades began to turn with a "click".
He glanced out the window. The city's viaduct was shrouded in steaming heat, and the rails were faintly twisted. From a distance, it looked like a mirage.
"I'm too lazy to get up until three in the afternoon." Su Zimai said without even glancing at him.
She lowered her head and played with her mobile phone, occasionally looking up at the TV. The host of the Giant Elephant News Channel was reporting yesterday's national news.
"My brother said he would come home to cook tonight and asked us not to go out," said Ji Minghuan.
"oh."
Ji Minghuan rested his head against the back of the sofa, looked up at the TV, and glanced at Su Zimai out of the corner of his eye.
In just two seconds, a prompt box popped up in front of me.
[Main Mission 3: Explore what your "sister" Su Zimai is hiding. ]
[Task Reward: 1 Split Point, 1 Attribute Point, 1 Skill Point]
So...what secrets does this sister hide? Could she be a supernatural being like her brother? Ji Minghuan was curious.
"It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, don't you want to find something to eat?" Su Zimai asked without raising his head.
"I just got up and ate, and I just went back to take a nap."
"pig."
"You're still complaining during the summer vacation. Am I your older brother or younger brother?"
"Why are you wearing a coat?"
"Is it okay for me to be afraid of the cold?"
"In this kind of weather? Are you afraid of the cold?"
"I understand and I don't understand. High school boys like to be different. What's wrong with wearing a coat in the summer?"
As he spoke, Ji Minghuan leaned over and picked up the chewing gum on the table, unwrapped it and put it in his mouth. After chewing it twice, he casually said, "I get a lot of attention when I walk."
"childish."
At this moment, a piece of news on TV caught his interest.
"This is the scene of the Lijing Daily News." said the beautiful female host.
At this moment, the background of the studio was a frozen-frame surveillance image of Lijing Square: a black restraint belt was wrapped around a street lamp.
The host looked straight at the camera and reported last night's news in a calm tone: "At 10:20 last night, an unknown supernatural person appeared in the city center square and intervened in the Green Wing organization's hostage-taking incident. The supernatural person used a black belt to kill five bandits and successfully rescued five hostages. No civilian casualties were caused in the process."
She lowered her head and flipped through the manuscript. "According to eyewitnesses, the mutant was wrapped in black restraints and hung upside down under the billboard like a pupa. The Abnormal Association has cordoned off the scene and is sampling and analyzing the remaining substances."
The host raised his head and said, "Well, let the vice president of the Lijing Branch of the Association of the Differentiators tell us about some related matters."
The screen switched to the association's iconic blue notice.
Then a long-haired man wearing sunglasses and a suit appeared in the camera.
He put his hands behind his back and said in an official tone: "After an emergency meeting of the expert group of the Abnormal Association, it was confirmed that based on his supernatural characteristics and appearance, the abnormal person was officially named "Black Pupa", and "Black Pupa" was temporarily listed as a B-level observation subject."
Ji Minghuan teased in his heart: "Well, I also experienced the feeling of being a celebrity for once..."
He stared at the enlarged full-length photo on TV, which showed a strange figure hanging upside down under a billboard.
At this moment, Su Zimai looked up and saw the man on TV slowly emerging from the giant black cocoon. He was wearing a windbreaker and a metal mask that looked like a Kamen Rider.
She raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but sneer: "This costume is really ugly... What a big moth?"
Ji Minghuan rested his elbow on the armrest of the sofa, supported his chin, and retorted to her with the words he had just said: "Just tell me whether the rate of returning to your head is high or not?"
Although he also felt that it was ugly, he only had the clothes made by Gu Wenyu, and he could change them later if he had the conditions.
"It's fine if your taste in beauty is bad, but is this black pupa also a high school boy like you?" asked my sister.
"Maybe?"
