Don't Pick Up Wild People on the Roadside (Part 9)
When Jiang Yuan left the black clinic, he went home with a balance of 250 yuan, and also took Yun Qing, who had no money to go home and refused to go back.
There is no sky in the downtown area, and it is always pitch black above your head.
The streets are full of lights in different colors.
All the houses were closed, and the shops had signs outside saying they were open.
Jiang Yuanshi returned the same way he came based on his memory, and walked almost to the end of the residential area before arriving at his doorstep.
The indicator light at the door of Jiang Yuan's house was very dim. Jiang Yuanshi squinted his eyes and could barely make out that the bloodstains outside the door had not completely dried up. Unfortunately, the floor was made of wood and looked old, with cracks all over it. The blood seeped in through the cracks, and the rare whole floor in Jiang Yuan's house seemed to have become a patchwork style.
Jiang Yuanshi sighed, took out the key from his waist, and poked it into the keyhole for a long time.
It's too dark.
Jiang Yuanshi walked into the room and turned on the light. The sudden light was so dazzling that Jiang Yuanshi couldn't help but close his eyes. His vision was blurred and he opened it several times before it became clear. In a trance, he seemed to see a figure flash before his eyes, but it disappeared the next second.
Seeing him standing still at the door, Yun Qing asked, "What's wrong with you? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his eyes and asked, "Did you see something just now?"
Yun Qing shook his head: "No, nothing."
"Then I must have seen it wrong. Come in." Jiang Yuanshi stepped aside to let Yun Qing in first, then closed the door behind him. He then took out a pair of cloth slippers that looked very new from the drawer of the plastic box, placed them at Yun Qing's feet and said, "They probably haven't been worn yet. Try them on to see if they fit you."
Yun Qing thanked him and changed her shoes. She looked down at the slippers that were obviously made of different fabrics. "It's just right. Not too big or too small. Did you make these yourself?"
Jiang Yuanshi was just about to change into a pair of slightly worn slippers when he was startled when he heard this: "No, it should have been made by Jiang Yuan."
"Jiang Yuan?"
Yun Qing stared at the other person's face with a puzzled look: "Aren't you Jiang Yuan?"
“…” This is a bit scary.
"Aren't you B33's former host?"
Yun Qing said, "Of course I am! But what does this have to do with my problem?"
Fortunately, Jiang Yuanshi almost thought that the other party had changed his mind: "Jiang Yuan is the name of a character, I can't say my real name... Could it be that Yun Qing is your real name?"
Yun Qingzhen nodded: "Yes, all my mission characters have the same name as me, except for the last name, don't you?"
Jiang Yuanshi shook his head: "No, except for the last name, nothing is the same."
Yun Qing exclaimed, "Wow!" "There's something like this! That's really not immersive. It's hard to do a quest like this. But I just saw you getting your shoes back home so skillfully that I almost mistook you for an NPC. But how did you manage to follow someone else's house like you were in your own? Did you practice beforehand?"
Jiang Yuanshi paused holding the shoe, a chill running down his spine. He said, "No, it's probably because my family has the same habit. They put it in the same spot, so it's convenient."
Yun Qing: "Oh, that's no wonder. B33 said that in order to better adapt to the mission world, many scenes are based on the host's previous life. Don't tell me, I just remembered that my parents in this world are just like my parents. They always put pressure on me. The sense of substitution is so strong that I was scared and thought my parents were dead and came to do the mission."
That's terrifying.
Jiang Yuanshi put on his shoes, suppressed his suspicions, and said to Yun Qing, "Go in first."
Yun Qing: "Okay, oh, by the way, do you have a computer here? I'm going to ask Brother Guizhi to connect me. It would be more satisfying if I typed on the keyboard to complain myself."
Jiang Yuanshi: "I remember B33 said that entering the mission world without permission is a violation."
Yun Qing waved his hand nonchalantly: "Young man, the rules are dead and the living are dead. As long as we don't report it, the higher-ups will definitely turn a blind eye."
"...That makes sense." Jiang Yuanshi pointed to the square head in the living room. "That TV has been modified to function as a computer. The keyboard is in the cabinet."
"Okay, don't bother, I can do it myself! By the way, can I take off my coat? The hood of the cloak always blocks my view."
Jiang Yuanshi nodded, and Yun Qing took off his cloak, revealing his frizzy head, big eyes with upturned corners, and a delicate and petite face. His overall body looked even smaller without the cloak. The simple clothes he wore could not hide his temperament. He looked very rich, the type who would be kidnapped at any time while walking on the street.
Jiang Yuanshi lowered his head and always felt that the other person seemed to have become shorter.
Yun Qing walked towards Fang Naotou in slippers. Jiang Yuanshi looked at the other person's back and felt that he seemed to have become shorter. He lowered his head and took a look at the shoes Yun Qing had taken off. They were black leather boots with thick soles on the outside and the slope on the inside could be seen at a glance.
Jiang Yuanshi withdrew his gaze and pretended not to see it.
The square head lit up, the screen full of code, and finally, reluctantly, an email interface popped up. Yun Qing sat cross-legged on the ground with the keyboard in front of him. He rubbed his hands and said, "Great, I'll complain to them to death!"
As he said this, he placed his hands on the keyboard and began to look for the keys.
Jiang Yuanshi:?
Yun Qing stretched out an index finger on each hand, and as he tapped, the two-finger Zen technique turned into one-finger Zen.
Seeing that the other party relied entirely on his right hand and wrote at a speed of thirty words per minute, Jiang Yuanshi fell silent.
When should I file a complaint?
He asked B33 in his mind, "Is this why you suggested that he file the complaint himself?"
B33: "Although Yun Qing types slowly, once he enters complaint mode, he becomes very immersed and won't look for anything else to do. Based on his typing speed, it's only a few letters, much slower than the system itself. This way, Senior Z01 doesn't have to worry about complaints."
So you are this kind of system.
Jiang Yuanshi: "So what you said before about him using his willpower to steal your authority and complaining hundreds of times a day, were you lying to me?"
B33 was shocked: "No, that's not the case. The system won't lie. This is real."
I don't lie, but I'm quite good at stealing and omitting words.
Jiang Yuanshi: "You even helped him on purpose."
B33: "I didn't do it on purpose. It was mainly because Yunqing types really slowly, and I was afraid he wouldn't feel accomplished, so I helped write a few letters."
"How many?"
"A few hundred."
Don't love too much.
Jiang Yuanshi held his forehead with his hand and said, "Since you have the time, why don't you simulate the data and make up some fake numbers for him to see? This will save time and won't affect your work."
B33 said sincerely, "That won't work. Isn't that cheating? He'll be upset if he knows. I'm a new employee, and those complaints didn't involve me. Anyway, there's no performance deduction to be made, so it doesn't matter if he complains."
Jiang Yuanshi sighed and said helplessly, "Even so, what should we do now? His current system is Z01."
B33: "It's okay. I've already communicated with Z01. I told my senior that he can simulate data. After all, it seems like I've allowed Yunqing to do this, and he can't change. He thinks he's a great typist now, so let's not shatter his illusions."
Stop talking, he's about to get drunk.
"What are you guys secretly chatting about?" Yun Qing, who was typing on the keyboard, stopped and looked over here.
B33: “How did he hear that?!”
"..." Jiang Yuanshi: "We didn't talk about anything. How did you know we were chatting?"
Yun Qing: "You're standing there, empty-headed. It looks like you're doing that. And that B33 guy will definitely complain to you about how I bullied him. Don't believe him. He's much worse than me."
Jiang Yuanshi: "...No, he praised you for typing so carefully."
Yun Qing: "Of course."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Then why don't you write?"
Yun Qing: "Oh, it's so boring without anyone to accompany me. In the past, B33 would always watch me write beside the screen."
"Hairball?"
"Hmm..." Yun Qing looked a little listless. He seemed to be still concerned about the fact that B33's furry image did not belong to him alone, or perhaps it was because the other party had separated from him.
Yun Qing lowered his head and rubbed his eyes: "Forget it, who cares."
"My hands aren't clean after typing on the keyboard, and rubbing my eyes is bad for my eyes."
"Who said that? My hands are clean!"
"I mean the keyboard isn't clean."
"You said the keyboard I cleaned wasn't clean?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"Why am I still hearing voices? B33, you're so annoying! You're bothering me even though you're not even doing the mission with me..."
Jiang Yuanshi, who had been standing nearby, was silent for a long time before interrupting the conversation: "Yunqing, why don't you raise your head?"
Yunqing:?
Yun Qing looked up and saw a furry creature appear on the big screen. It blinked at Yun Qing outside the screen beside the input box. Yun Qing pushed it closer and said in surprise, "B33!"
B33 blinked his dark eyes: "It's me, Qingqing."
Yun Qing looked delighted: "Why did you come out?"
B33: "I'm here to file a complaint with you."
"Yeah?"
"Yes."
"So if I don't complain, you won't come out, right? And since you've already untied me, what are you doing here? Are you showing off your new boss in front of me? Are you mocking my slow typing and poor skills?!"
B33:?
Jiang Yuanshi:?
The face-changing master Yun Qing instantly came online and started a battle with B33. Judging from the situation, although it is known who the winner is, it will probably take a while.
Jiang Yuanshi said hello and turned back to the bedroom to change into clean clothes.
He took out clean clothes from the closet, dragging his coat while complaining in his heart that there was no "one-click cleaning" function in Cyber World, and he actually had to take a shower and wash clothes by himself.
Jiang Yuanshi took his clothes into the bathroom, washed them quickly, changed his clothes, and wiped his hair with a towel. The only mirror in the bathroom appeared. He wiped off the mist and looked at the young man in the mirror.
The face still looks different from mine, but it's about 80% similar.
There is a scar on his brow bone, which has turned him into a broken eyebrow, and he looks vicious even when he is expressionless.
The black metal restraining ring around his neck looked like a collar and a surveillance camera. Jiang Yuanshi tried to remove it but failed. He had no knowledge of the subject, no instruction manual, and his memory of it was clearly nonexistent. So what happened to his previous car repair skills? Had he suddenly been possessed by something?
He could not sense the presence of the second person in his body, and had no way of knowing whether the other party had awakened. At the moment, he could not tell anyone about his guess, so he had to keep it in his mind for the time being.
Take it slow, you'll know sooner or later.
The water vapor on the mirror spread little by little, covering the mirror surface again and hiding the young man's face.
Jiang Yuanshi lowered his eyes, muttered to himself, and whispered his own name.
I am Jiang Yuanshi.
Jiang Yuanshi threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine. The only advantage of Cyber washing machine is that you don’t need to add water, just throw it in and add a washing ball.
Jiang Yuanshi came out of the bathroom with a towel covering his head and began to look around the walls of the bedroom.
His hand touched the place where he had come out before, it should be here.
But no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem possible. Does it require a voice password?
Jiang Yuanshi fumbled around for a long time and sighed, having to admit the convenience of the system: "We can't disturb them now, and we can't call Z01."
But B33 and Yunqing are future lovers, and he and Z01 are just ordinary colleagues. Who would care about former colleagues after leaving the company?
And even if he went to find Z01 now, there was no guarantee that the other party would help him.
He shook his head and muttered, "Forget it, I'll look for it myself."
Jiang Yuanshi started the exploration mode and carefully searched through the boxes and cabinets. In the end, the only suspicious thing was a leather-covered notebook.
Another password.
"I'm not Jiang Yuan, how could I know the password?" Jiang Yuanshi shook the notebook. There was no other way. He decided to wait until B33 and the others finished talking.
Jiang Yuanshi sat on the bed and lay down. Just as his head touched the pillow, a robotic male voice suddenly rang in his ears:
"Host, please dry your hair before going to bed."
Jiang Yuanshi sat up in shock and looked around quickly, but there was nothing. Could it be that he was hallucinating?
Jiang Yuanshi tentatively fell back again, and the familiar mechanical voice sounded again: "Please don't lie back. You will catch a cold if you don't blow dry your hair."
Jiang Yuanshi was sure this time that he wasn't hallucinating. He spoke carefully, "Z...01?"
"Yes, I am."
"Where is it?"
"I'm right next to you." As soon as Z01 finished speaking, the walls around Jiang Yuanshi lit up, and countless codes moved on the walls, completely surrounding Jiang Yuanshi.
