Chapter 36
The next day.
Huo Xiuxun stayed up all night because he was with Professor Pei looking through his notes one by one to find Er Huang's faults.
He hadn't fully recovered from the operation, so he passed out the next day and slept until four o'clock in the afternoon.
When he opened his eyes, Pei Lin was beside him.
I brought him porridge, a change of clothes, and some books.He is taking out one by one in an orderly manner.
"Umm...Professor Pei?"
In the sunshine from the window, Pei Lin officially changed into winter clothes today.
The clothes are light brown, typical of Tang Caiping's romantic style, like a windbreaker and a cloak, and have a big snow-white fluffy fur collar.
Together with that slightly serious face, it feels full of disobedience, paired with a touch of helplessness and resistance...
Just, not fitting, but super cute.
Huo Xiuxun lowered his eyes and secretly suppressed the sparkle in his eyes: "I thought that you must stay at home with your aunt and sister these few days, and you don't have time to come and see me."
Pei Lin raised his eyebrows.
He really can't stay long.
In the morning, Aunt Tao went to the police station to question her several times, but Erhuang still insisted on her, making Pei Libin unable to release him for a while.
But after yesterday's toss, Aunt Tao and Ning Ning have both calmed down a lot, no longer shed tears, but face it positively.
No matter in the previous life or in this life, they are tougher than they appear on the outside.
"There's nothing to be too worried about. After all, according to the logic of 'plot regression', my dad's business was clean in his previous life, and he shouldn't suddenly go astray in this life."
But it cannot be taken lightly.
Pei Lin is a person who habitually thinks a lot. For him, the possibility that the original plot may be mutated due to the influence of the tasker cannot be completely ruled out.
"So I thought, just in case, let Er Litian go offline as soon as possible."
This is completely safe.
"And if possible, in fact, I want as many traversers as possible to go offline. But once they are all driven away, will there be enough points in this world to continue to maintain..."
Huo Xiuxun understood what he meant.
The situation they are currently facing is indeed a dilemma.
Er Litian, this fat fish, really doesn't know how many worlds he has dominated before, so rich.It took him such a short period of time, and the time limit for the collapse of the world, based on Huo Xiuxun's birthday, has been delayed from the original deduction of about 15 years and one month to 15 years and eight months.
Compared with this kind of massive contribution, if it is just to dissuade the traverser, the penalty points can only be converted to contribute about ten days to the world.
In other words, it takes only one month to persuade people to quit 3 tasks, and it takes an extra year to persuade 36 people to quit.
In the past few days, there is a problem. If there are not enough quests in this world, the world may still collapse before reaching the HE ending.
But if they keep them, there will be another situation where Erhuang is doing things like crazy.
Should the rest be persuaded to quit or not?
……
After Pei Lin delivered the food and clothes, he had to go to Tang Caiping next.
The others had already walked downstairs to the hospital, and suddenly someone's voice in his head was low and hoarse, and said this sentence.
【Sorry, it's all my fault. 】
[It's all my fault that this world has become what it is now, causing Uncle Pei to suffer and disturbing you. 】
Pei Lin: "..."
He sighed.
He stopped and turned back upstairs.In the ward, Huo Xiuxun lay lifeless.
Seeing him coming, she buried her head in the pillow as shyly as a little ostrich.
Pei Lin: "seth."
Pei Lin stroked the back of his neck like a milk cat.
Someone buried in the pillow: "Don't talk to me."
"Seth, what's going on with you these days? It's not like you anymore."
In the past, seth acted like a monster and pretended to be pitiful all day long.But since this hospitalization, it is completely different from before.
She doesn't cry out for pain, act like a baby, or act miserable.
Even helping the sick body all night, he didn't take credit for it afterwards. He looked quiet, tolerant and well-behaved.
This made Pei Lin, who was used to his daily neurosis, very uncomfortable!
Although he also knew that the current seth, who was a bit frustrated, boring, taciturn and serious, might be the real seth itself.
But, getting him to get along with such a person... It's difficult, if you can't open the topic, it's better to get along with a psychopath.
It took a little effort for Pei Lin to drag the frustrated cat out of the pillow.
Huo Xiuxun lowered his eyes and continued to mourn.
Pei Lin: "..."
The male protagonist was silent and frustrated, and refused to communicate.
At this time, Xiao Q forced him to read... What should the cute little sun do in those healing novels that he doesn't understand?
……
Pei Lin didn't want to follow suit, but Huo Xiuxun would only be more frustrated if he didn't follow suit.
Forget it, let the boat sink.
Although this is really not a decent hug.All kinds of injuries on Huo Xiuxun's body were not healed. In a sense, it could only be considered that Pei Lin had circled him.
It worked!
At that moment, the sun outside the window brightened.
Huo Xiuxun was alive, and he knew the taste: "Not enough."
Pei Lin: "That's enough, don't do it."
"not enough!"
Sure enough, the routines of novels cannot be easily used.
It's a pity that it's already too late, Xiao Zuo Xun immediately turned into a monster after being resurrected, and sighed loudly: "Oh~"
"I thought that Professor Pei has been busy and tired recently, and I would be more obedient and bear it, so that Professor Pei would feel at ease."
"So it's all overthinking? I get it! Professor Pei lives a serious life, and urgently needs interesting little ones as spices."
Pei Lin: "..."
"Then, brother Pei Lin~ Xiaoxun's performance last night was great, how will brother reward Xiaoxun?"
"Oh, I forgot, brother has already spent money to buy Xiao Xun!"
"It's so expensive, two thousand and three."
"Speaking of which, the price of Doudou seems to be two thousand and three?"
Doudou is Pei Lin's pet little golden retriever. The colleagues in the first office felt sorry for him being single and unloved, so they collectively gave him a 28th birthday present.
"Oh, brother Pei Lin sees one and loves the other, and buys puppy hooks everywhere. Then Xiaoxun will also be Professor Pei's dog hook in the future? Woah?"
Pei Lin: "..." =_=
"Wang, that little Xun still wants to take Brother Pei Lin to a place."
"Brother Pei Lin, come here."
"sit down."
"Turn on the computer."
The floating screen had a faint blue light, and Huo Xiuxun lightly tapped a few numbers on it:
"Brother Pei Lin wants Er Litian to go offline quickly and stop disturbing Uncle Pei's life, doesn't he?"
Up to this point, the petty criminal's voice is still lowered and normal.
But the light in his eyes was already full of excitement, and he couldn't suppress the corners of his lips that were ecstatic and upturned crazily.
"Brother Pei Lin, sit still."
What does he want to do?There was no response at all.The next second, completely without warning.
The world is white.
……
That's right.
That is, completely, suddenly, a blank expanse.
The wards, tables and chairs, fruit baskets, floating screens, everything is gone.The surroundings are completely plunged into endless white that is creepy and shouldn't appear in the normal world.
"you are dead."
A machine voice, a bit like Siri, repeated without any emotion: "Tasker Pei Lin, you failed to heal the blackened hero, you are dead."
"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, heroes, please start over."
"Please actively reflect on yourself."
Pei Lin: "..."
The first thing he thought of was Xiao Q, such an outrageous white, he had only appeared once in his memory, it was the first time he met Xiao Q, he was forced to watch "Save the Black" by the popular science rebirth rules and Those few days of the original novel of "Male Protagonist".
Little Q is still there.
[Master, wow wow wow wow! 】
[It's over, it's over, I was kicked out of the world, and the healing mission failed!Woo, it must be because Master, your character is too incurable, not sweet enough for the male lead, not enough hugs every day, no kisses! 】
Pei Lin: "..."
wrong.
He looked around: "Seth, what is this place, what the hell are you doing? Come out!"
Little Q cried and chirped: [Huh? 】
The emotionless machine voice continued: "You're dead, the cause of death: Not enough food for the male lead, not many hugs, no kisses. No candies, no flowers, no presence? Good morning, good night, no toffee crucian carp, Didn't announce in school that "I'm covered by this Xunxun", didn't go out together to fight in groups, didn't pinch the hero's waist and push the hero against the wall after class, didn't strip the hero with his eyes, didn't treat the hero Qingju The pheromones of the taste can't stop... I suggest you read more articles!"
Pei Lin: "..."
"Huo, Xiu, Xun!"
He heard a low laugh, and the next second, the tip of his nose was warm.
Seth was close at hand in an instant, and the tip of his nose touched his nose. There was a faint scent of citrus, mixed with the fragrance of coconut in Pei Lin's bathroom, and the warmth of his breath made one's scalp tingle!
But it's not the scariest.
Seth took a step back. The man in front of him was wearing a thin black shirt with the neckline open to reveal his sexy collarbone.He slightly squinted his eyes, which were shining, his long hair was a little messy, and he wore an amethyst bone ring on the tip of one ear. The corners of his lips were drawn exaggeratedly, showing a completely terrifying and unruly smile.
He reached out his hand and poked Pei Lin's stiff face playfully.
There are several rings on the slender fingers.Tall, with a straight back.
"Hi, Professor Pei, 'Long time no see'."
His voice is deep and magnetic.
haven't seen you for a long time.
Pei Lin looked down at his hands, which were slender and well-defined.
In front of him, Huo Xiuxun also raised his hand lazily and inadvertently, and the white mist around him gradually dissipated.
Little Q was so distorted that he couldn't make a sound.
It suffocated until the CPU was about to explode, and just stared at the adult version of the host and the male protagonist for a second, watching the surrounding scenery gradually turn into an elementary school classroom! ! !
Longevity, the master can still maintain a calm face? !
How is this maintained?
……
In the primary school classroom, everyone is making noise and making glue leaf paintings.
Pei Lin sat in a small seat.
Yellow cork table, familiar graffiti and [-] lines.Huo Xiuxun was his deskmate, the sun was dazzling and warm.
The children around didn't feel at all that it was unnatural for two adults to sit tightly on a small table in the small classroom, and the ponytail girl in the front seat turned back softly: "Pei Lin~ If you don't use this red leaf, Can you lend me a duck?"
"Ah! Thank you, I'm so happy!"
"Then I'll exchange these two ginkgo leaves for you. Your glue is not good, so use mine."
"Pei Lin, what are you going to do? Be a little fox?"
White paper, leaves.
Under the watchful eyes of several children, adult Professor Pei endured the beautiful language that was full of mouthfuls, and bit the bullet and started clumsily sticking to a little fox.
"Yeah, so cute!"
Obviously, this clingy fox of his, with one eye looking at the sky and the other looking at the ground, looks like a mentally handicapped child, but the kid can still boast how cute he is!
But immediately, there was a disrespectful sneer from beside him, and Huo Xiuxun couldn't help shaking his shoulders.
"It's so ugly, the little leaves I picked up for you are for nothing."
As he said, he took a leaf by himself, picked up a watercolor pen, and began to draw painted patterns on the leaf.
Huo Xiuxun has a talent for drawing, and when he saw his technique, it was immediately different from Pei Lin's poking and poking, who had no talent for painting!
Soon, Teacher Zhu came to check the homework.
Teacher Zhu didn't think there was anything wrong with two big men sitting among the elementary school students. She picked up Pei Lin's painting of leaves, not knowing how to evaluate——
Huo Xiuxun made a little prince for the fox.
There are also beautiful gardens and layers of wheat fields in the background.
Everything is so beautiful, only the mentally retarded fox has a different painting style, standing abruptly in the almost perfect picture.
Teacher Zhu looked embarrassed for a while, and didn't know how to evaluate it.
"Yeah, it's... well, it's very innovative."
Huo Xiuxun laughed so hard: "Hahahahahahahahaha."
Pei Lin gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "S, e, t, h!"
In fact, ever since he yelled at Huo Xiuxun, Pei Lin had already guessed where this place was, but he couldn't quite believe and accept it for a while——
Back then, people in one place were tricked into the Philae Temple system by seth. After falling into the trap, they often faced a lot of messy and unconstrained weird things.
Azhuo was particularly miserable. He was the most conscientious in spying on Seth. After falling into the trap, he was forced to do a sand sculpture psychological assessment questionnaire.
I was forced to play a small game of cutting fruit, and was also asked to simulate stock trading to earn 100 million.
If you don't fulfill the conditions, you'll be trapped in that broken system for the rest of your life and you won't be able to get out. That is to say, anti-social criminals can play this game leisurely. I really don't know what he is planning!
As for Pei Lin, because he was calmer, he stepped on the pit less frequently.
But I have also stepped on it. Apart from the time when I cracked the 70-layer fake system, the second most impressive time was when I was forced by seth to beat up for more than ten hours. The neurotic Otome called "A real man is to be the master of the harem" is in love game.
In the game, the dog emperor is called Xun Xiu, and his character is called Lin Pei.
At that time, Pei Lin really didn't think that there was an upside-down homophonic stalk.He knew that the task that seth gave him was that Lin Pei must please the emperor, gain favor, and become a queen before he can win the game.
It is conceivable that the process is difficult.
Pei Lin is a semi-permanent single who has no feelings, how can he know how to please others?Almost every few minutes, he was given death by the emperor for various reasons.
Once given death, it means "victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, please do it again, young hero."
Ha ha.
……
After finishing the leaf painting, the scene changed again.
This time it went straight from day to night.A huge bright moon, glowing with faint cold light, fireflies dotted with small warm orange lights, hanging on the prow of a beautiful leaf-shaped canoe.
Canoeing on a slow-moving river that hardly exists in reality.
Because the river water is not normal water at all, instead it looks like crystal sand, blue-purple like glass, shining with stars and fireflies reflecting the blue moon in the sky.
Pei Lin and Seth sat face to face on the boat.
His gray eyes were illuminated by many large, hazy yellow halos on this midnight star river.
Those halos are so beautiful, it's hard to take your eyes off them.
In the halo, there are countless scenes and pictures.
It turned out to be all related to Erlitian.
In some pictures, he is dressed in antique style, some are wearing domineering armor, some are clearly in the clouds of the fairy world, and some are driving a star warship.He in every world is surrounded by beauties, sometimes he accidentally falls on the beautiful breasts, sometimes he accidentally breaks into the bathroom and gets slapped by the beautiful women, and sometimes the hero saves the beauty and slaps Xiaoxiao in the face...
"This is inside the Temple of Philae, a tributary of the 'Nile River'."
Pei Lin turned his face away and looked at Huo Xiuxun with a polite smile.
Yes, there is no high-energy warning in advance at all, and there is no trace of defense. It will come up directly and shock your family with a strong force. Now you are finally willing to popularize science? !
Pei Lin gritted his teeth: "How did you... make the Temple of Philae concrete?!"
If the floating screen and intra-brain communication are still the black technology of top hackers, then in Pei Lin's opinion, these things can no longer be completely explained by black technology.
But if you say it is magic, it is completely unconstrained, and Pei Lin would rather believe that it is actually an enhanced version of black technology.
Because originally seth was a god in their original normal world, and the existence of the Temple of Philae was called "the code black hole that can only be worshiped" by the two geniuses Chu Xun and A Zhuo.
"Code Black Hole" is a coined term for Seth's Philae Temple system.
Because it is difficult for people in one place to explain why the "Philae Temple" can realize the "infinite, non-recurring, endless" and "difficult to trace" of a large amount of information like a ghost ship on a near-vacuum basis that hardly takes up any bytes. Searching".
It is precisely because seth itself is so technologically advanced that it is outrageous, so everything in front of him... Pei Lin would rather believe that all of this is still his technology.
It's just possible. After all, this world that is about to collapse belongs to Seth in essence, so he may have certain privileges to realize his own black technology... something like that?
After Pei Lin finished his conjecture, he looked at the man in front of him with gray eyes.
Huo Xiuxun smiled: "Well, I really deserve to be Professor Pei."
"..."
At that moment, Professor Pei, who was so emotional, felt very clearly what it means to be emotional and mixed!
Especially Seth on the other side looked calm, as if all this was taken for granted! ! !
Both envious, but also want to lift the boat, and teeth itching.
The boat continued to move forward slowly, fingers slowly passing the cool quicksand under the boat.Surrounded by fireflies, after the Philae Temple materialized, it was a completely dreamlike scene.
Pei Lin: "...But, my mother and I have an appointment at five o'clock."
It felt like he had been in this place for more than an hour.will be late.
Huo Xiuxun: "Don't worry, in the Temple of Philae, the flow of time is static."
Pei Lin: "..."
Technology is darker than imagined!It's close to outrageous.Envy envy deforms scientists!
In a sense, can it be understood that Huo Xiuxun created a small world? ! As a carbon-based creature like him, seth is already on the road to the creation god? ? ?
Huo Xiuxun: "No, I haven't created anything."
"This space already existed, I just discovered it under the guidance of the 'Frostfall System'."
Frost system?
"Well, it's my newly developed system that operates on the basis of the Temple of Philae."
Pei Lin: "..."
Don't envy him, don't change shape!He is the hero of this world, he has a hook!
Pei Lin tried his best to calm down, but suddenly, a stunning woman in the halo reached out to him.
"Help me, god, please help me!"
"My name is Yu Wanwan, and I used to be an ordinary wife in the world of 'Li Tian' and "Supreme Heavenly Monarch". I...I feel unwilling!"
Pei Lin responded subconsciously.
For a moment, it seemed that his and the woman's fingers could touch.
The rippling touch is very similar to that of a floating screen.
Huo Xiuxun smiled with amber eyes: "Professor Pei, you can choose to help her."
"In this place, not only can you glimpse the past of each traveler in other worlds, but you can also briefly 'outreach' to other worlds."
Huo Xiuxun: "You can help her and bring her into our world for a short time. Is there anything more frightening than a call from a wife who failed you in the previous world to scare the tasker back immediately?"
"How about it, is it interesting? Is it fun?"
Pei Lin: "..."
Fun is fun, the amount of information is huge, his brain is about to explode! !
BSI
