Chapter 79 Hibernation
Before falling asleep completely, Ji Minghuan squeezed out a little time to enter his own spiritual world.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a library. Outside the window, the sun was setting. Under the blood-red sky, the afterglow of the sunset lengthened the two long shadows.
Ji Minghuan lowered his eyes and looked at the shadow on the ground expressionlessly, then slowly raised his head and looked at the "Black Pupa" and "Chess Player" who were hanged on the ceiling.
Their limbs hung down, their heads drooped, and they were motionless.
The black pupa looks like a wet black umbrella hung on a clothesline;
The chess player is like a piece of jerky hung from a butcher's hook, slowly rotting in the sunset.
Today, when Ji Minghuan was free, he suddenly figured out why these two "corpses" appeared in his spiritual world after he created the game character.
Because they are not actually corpses, but "hosted personalities" - the system said at the beginning that if he did not turn on the "complete split mode", then when he did not take over the body of the game body, the hosted personality would help him manage the body's every move.
From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with calling them "instrumental personalities."
So after Ji Minghuan activated the "complete split" mode, the hosted personality was equivalent to a temporary death... and during this period, they continued to learn his behavior patterns like AI, absorbing the experience of playing him, in order to prepare for the next "awakening".
Once the "complete split" mode is turned off, the two corpses will wake up immediately and take over the bodies of "Black Pupa" and "Chess Player" respectively.
It sounds convenient, but Ji Minghuan doesn't want to take any risks. It would be best if he could handle everything himself, at least until the auction is over.
He leaned to the last row of the library and picked up a novel. The shadow of a white-haired girl appeared beside him. She accompanied him in reading until sleepiness came over him. Ji Minghuan slowly closed his eyelids and soon fell into a deep sleep.
With a thud, the book in his hand fell to the ground.
A night in silence.
Regardless of what time it was in the prison cell, when the body in Japan woke up, it was exactly the morning of July 14. There were still 7 days left before the Tokyo underground auction began.
"Let's just die..."
Ji Minghuan yawned and said the first auspicious words every morning as usual.
Refreshed.
Then he controlled the No. 2 machine "Xia Pingzhou" to slowly get up from the bed, called up the machine's attribute panel, and quickly allocated the attribute points obtained from the main task yesterday.
[The "Spirit" attribute of your second unit "Chess Player" changes from B rank to B+ rank (the power of your "Chess Species" will also increase accordingly)]
Then bring up the character skill tree panel.
[Branch 1 (Group): Recruiting Soldiers (already learned) → Training Soldiers (already learned) → Building Artillery Carriages (requires 1 skill point to learn)...]
[Branch 2 (Brave): Chess evolution (Condition: You need to consume a total of "3" skill points in other branches before you can learn this skill) (Learning this skill requires "1" skill point) → Unknown → Unknown...]
[Branch Three (Soul): Demon Hunter (needs to consume "1" skill point to learn) → Unknown → Unknown...]
Ji Minghuan just took a quick glance and added some ideas, but they remained unchanged.
Well... build a cannon cart first, and then learn the "chess evolution" of branch two. This is the fastest way to improve short-term combat effectiveness. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pressed the skill icon of [Build Cannon Cart] until the text glowed red and black.
[“1” skill point has been consumed, and the skill of the branch “Group” has been successfully acquired - “Build a Cannon Cart” (build a new Cannon Cart chess piece in the chess library). ]
[The next skill of the branch "Group" has been opened for learning. 】
Ji Minghuan rubbed the Tianming acupoint and took a look at the newly unlocked skills of the "group" system.
[Cavalry Training: Train one of your soldiers to be a "cavalryman", mount him on a warhorse, and equip him with a spear. When the cavalryman is present, the combat effectiveness of the remaining soldiers will be greatly improved.]
"Knight Commander... I wonder if I can catch up with the Queen statue on horseback."
He took out the phone beside his pillow, turned it on, and looked down at the incoming text message.
[Ayase Origami: Today, the 4th and 9th arrived in Japan. I came to meet them. By the way... I have something to tell you. ]
This was sent at 4 o'clock in the morning, which shows that this kimono girl is an absolute night owl.
【Xia Ping Zhou: What time? 】
[Ayase Origami: Right now, at the abandoned amusement park in the western part of Minato, we are waiting for you here. 】
【Xia Pingzhou: Here I come.】
He washed his face and brushed his teeth, then put on a human face mask in front of the mirror. Watching the layer of human skin fit his skin perfectly and the person in the mirror becoming another person, he picked up the door card and left the room with satisfaction.
Ji Minghuan took the elevator to the first floor. Not long after he walked out of the hotel, he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the street. When he raised his eyes from the mobile phone screen, the tall figure had already passed him by.
"Dad?"
Ji Minghuan was secretly surprised for a second, then turned his head slightly and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Gu Zhuoan's back looked a little hunched, and he was not standing very steadily. He smelled strongly of alcohol, and although he was not drunk, he must have drunk a lot.
Due to the recent "underground bar explosion" incident caused by An Lance, all bars in this area of Tokyo have been temporarily closed for official investigation. Currently, only the izakaya is still open.
So Ji Minghuan speculated: Dad might have gone to a late-night pub to get drunk last night, stayed up all night, and was just about to return to the hotel.
Ji Minghuan remembered that Gu Zhuoan was addicted to alcohol for a period of time after his mother's death. He was an out-and-out drunkard, but he has been much more well-behaved when he came home these days - at least Gu Qiye and Ji Minghuan didn't smell any alcohol on him.
As a result, when I arrived in Tokyo, my old problem recurred.
Of course, Gu Zhuoan probably hasn't gotten over the incident of letting the Rainbow Wing members go at the airport: the thought of watching the Rainbow Wing members he had been searching for for years just walk away from him made Gu Zhuoan unable to sleep all night.
Given my father's personality, there is no way he would let me go in a short period of time, so I can only rely on alcohol to relieve the anger and regret in my heart...
"Come on, Dad's mental state is so bad...Willn't he explode if I cause him more trouble?"
Ji Minghuan was originally thinking about handing the recorder to Gu Zhuoan today and telling him that the true identity of Lan Hu, who had been hindering him, was actually his good son, Gu Qiye.
But seeing Gu Zhuo'an's condition, he suddenly became a little worried that this old man might completely lose control after this and do something incomprehensible.
In fact, Ji Minghuan didn't understand whether he had any feelings for them or whether it was just a pure interest relationship, so he tried to take advantage of them as much as possible.
He does have the memories of "Gu Wenyu", but that doesn't mean he is Gu Wenyu. He just skimmed through those memories.
It's like watching a ridiculously long movie or finishing a long novel.
When you finish reading a very long novel, it is inevitable that you will develop some subtle feelings towards the characters in the book.
But it is difficult for you to completely identify yourself with the characters in the book and to establish substantial connections with other characters - because after all, there is an insurmountable barrier between the audience and the characters in the book.
"Dad must come to this auction to save his good son and daughter and make sure they don't die... Otherwise, my No. 1 machine will be missing two main lines, so what's the difference between it and being scrapped?"
Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan no longer hesitated and synchronized his consciousness to the No. 1 machine "Gu Wenyu".
He controlled the black pupa to get up from the bed, took out a recorder from the suitcase and held it in his hand, wrapped his whole body with restraints, made his body transparent, and then climbed out of the window.
Gu Zhuoan had drunk a lot of alcohol and looked a little sleepy. He couldn't have walked far. As long as he was still in the Minato Ward of Tokyo, with the superior tracking ability of the "Black Pupa", it would not be difficult to find the unsuspecting Gu Zhuoan in a short time.
"No matter if he collapses or not, today... I must tell him the identity of 'Blue Arc'."
In a few fleeting seconds, Ji Minghuan made a decision in his heart. While thinking, he withdrew his gaze from Gu Zhuoan's back and controlled the No. 2 machine to move forward.
Going in the opposite direction of the other party, they were gradually lost in the crowd at the traffic light intersection.
