Chapter 212 Welcome to the ‘Sunshine Internet Cafe’


Chapter 212 Welcome to the ‘Sunshine Internet Cafe’

The rain has begun to weaken and will stop soon.

But the weather is still gloomy, and the dark clouds in the sky will continue throughout the day, every cycle day, without exception.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been exposed to the sun!”

Fatty Qian muttered as he chewed a beef burger.

"I remember that you just ate at ten o'clock in the morning. Are you hungry again?" Ke Lan asked.

"When I am bored, I like to eat. Every cycle day, I will eat different delicacies. Only when I chew food do I feel alive." After finishing the meal, Fatty Qian took another bite. One bite, then a look of enjoyment.

At this time, he saw Luo Xi walking over and stood up hurriedly.

"Luo Ju, do you want to eat it? Double-layer beef with cheese, it tastes okay."

Luo Xi waved his hand.

"On this cycle day, you can move freely for the rest of the time. However, I suggest that it is safer for you to move together. Of course, you can also choose challenging individual exploration scenarios, which will help improve your respective abilities."

Ke Lanyi He was also stunned when he heard: "Where are you going? Take me with you. Fatty is a burden, but I am not."

"Damn, just now I was the eldest brother and the younger brother, now I am a burden." Fatty Qian almost threw the half-eaten hamburger into Ke Lan's face.

But he also knew that the other party was completely joking.

Brother Mao also stood up.

But not much was said.

Many times, Brother Mao is the one who understands Luo Xi best and the one who listens to arrangements the most.

Because he is a cleaner, and according to the mechanism, it is impossible for a cleaner to become a 'memory collector'. He can stand here and know the existence of the day of confinement because Luo Xi gave him He has a [memory].

It was Luo Xi who pulled him out of the scene, so he would listen to Luo Xi on what he should do and what he shouldn't do.

Luo Xi said to Ke Lan: "Not this time!"

The latter was stunned and said nothing more.

Instead, he went over and pulled Fatty Qian: "This time, let's team up and show you what the most powerful brain is after Luo Xi."

"Haha, okay. Ah, Brother Fat also lets you know what a hexagonal warrior is!"

Over there, Lin Qiqi leaned against the wall and looked at Luo Xi with a smile.

"Qiqi, come here!" Luo Xi waved.

Lin Qiqi came over.

“Have you ever heard of Yongge Supermarket?” Luo Xi asked.

Lin Qiqi's expression changed immediately, and then she realized something, and looked at An Zhiyan over there with ferocious eyes: "I should have killed her early to prevent her from harming you."

"It seems that you know that this time, I need your ability. The two numbered cards given by An Zhiyan are half for each of us. Of course, you can refuse, there is no need to accommodate me."

"No. Accommodate, deal!”

Lin Qiqi was not pretentious.

It’s good, don’t be stupid. Anyone who is a senior memory collector knows how important and precious the numbered cards are.

“But I have never been there. It’s hard to find that place and it’s too dangerous. I heard that some people never come out again after going in. It’s one of the few people who can trap the Memory Pickers inside during the day of confinement. "The level scene, and this kind of being trapped in it is out of the loop and restarts the rules." Lin Qiqi told what she knew as much as possible.

She didn’t want Luo Xi to give up his idea, she just wanted to remind him of the special nature of ‘Yongge Supermarket’.

In addition, as a veteran who has survived hundreds of cycle days, she actually wants to go to Yongge Supermarket.

It's just that there has never been a chance, but now the opportunity has come. Being able to team up with Luo Xi is exactly what she wants, and there are benefits to be gained, so no fool would not go.

Luo Xi had also thought carefully about taking Lin Qiqi with him.

The most important reason is that Lin Qiqi is really strong.

In the level scene of "The Ghost Building", she was the first to be replaced, but she survived alone. She even gained insight into some secrets of the hexagram and found the bow and arrow hidden in the scene.

Intelligence, combat effectiveness, and survivability, Lin Qiqi is superior to other Collectors in terms of intelligence, combat power, and survivability. The most important thing is that she is a [Soul Peeper]. This ability is so useful.

"Are you leaving now? Oh, by the way, do you know the riddle about Yongge Supermarket?" Lin Qiqi was already a little eager to give it a try.

"I know." Luo Xi nodded.

"Is it parsed?"

"It requires practice."

"Then it is parsed, and it is indeed amazing."

"You actually deduced it, right?" Luo Xi looked at Lin Qiqi at this time.

The latter smiled sweetly: "Don't tell me yet, let me see if it is the same as what I thought."

An Zhiyan and the others moved very quickly, although they were awakened The Association of Hunters suffered heavy losses this time in the scene of "The Fierce Ghost Building". Beings like Aunt Qin and Liang Qiu, who were extremely powerful, were lost, as well as more than thirty elite Collectors.

But after all, it is a large organization, and there are still people under it.

After a while, the information Luo Xi needed was obtained.

"We found the location!" An Zhiyan walked over at this time, with excitement on her face.

At the same time, he also handed Luo Xi some cards.

There are 3 [Pain] and 1 [Confusion].

This is the condition negotiated with Luo Xi before.

"As for the numbered cards, I can't give them to you yet, but as long as you bring them back, I will fulfill my promise." An Zhiyan said.

"Okay!" Luo Xi had no objection.

[Pain] and [Confusion] are considered deposits. Really important numbered cards cannot be given now.

"Also, I want to go with you, take me with you." An Zhiyan said at this time.

“Yes, but safety is not guaranteed.”

“Don’t worry, I am not a weak person.” After An Zhiyan finished speaking, there was already a car on the roadside over there. Stopping, she waved the two of them into the car.

The business car was relatively spacious, with several people sitting in the back. The co-pilot was an acquaintance, Yu Xiaoru.

"Brother Luo Xi, why don't you take me with you too?" She asked tentatively. "No!" Luo Xi's response was direct.

Yu Xiaoru pouted, but didn’t say anything.

She could tell that Luo Xi was closer to her than An Zhiyan.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have refused so bluntly.

"Then be careful."

The driver was obviously a memory collector, with good skills. He was driving at a fast speed, and the commercial vehicle felt like a racing car.

“Chief Yu, we’re here!” the driver stopped the car and said after ten minutes.

This is a rather remote place, close to residential areas, but they are all old buildings. On the roadside are some small shops and restaurants that are not doing well at first sight. There are nothing high-end. Rice noodles, spicy tang, maocai and the like.

There is also a fruit seller, and next door is an Internet cafe. It seems that it has been open for a long time, and the signboard is a bit shabby.

It says 'Sunshine Internet Cafe'.

"There are three places in the city that qualify as 'sunshine', one is a securities company, one is a bathing center, and the last is this Internet cafe. So, why do you exclude the other two and think there is a problem here alone? "An Zhiyan asked.

She really didn’t understand.

These three places have nothing to do with 'supermarkets', but there is a supermarket next to the bathing center.

It stands to reason that the possibility should be greatest over there.

She didn’t know how many times she had analyzed the riddle, every word, every punctuation mark, and she even came up with many possibilities, but none of these possibilities had anything to do with the ‘Internet Cafe’.

“Intuition!” Luo Xi’s answer left An Zhiyan speechless for a moment.

“I thought you were an absolutely rational person. A rational person would only believe in evidence and reasonable reasoning, and would not believe in intuition.”

“You are wrong. Intuition is based on Experience, knowledge and instinct are a form of thinking that skips the process of logical reasoning. To me, it is itself a part of rationality." Luo Xi answered the other party's doubts seriously.

Then he glanced at the signboard of the Internet cafe and took the lead in walking in.

A network administrator wearing glasses was working inside. He didn’t get up when he saw someone coming in. He said like he was muttering sutras: “Welcome to the Sunshine Internet Cafe!”

It was perfunctory. Very strong.

“Let’s go online.”

“ID card!”

"I didn't bring it."

"You can't go online."

"Think of a way, I'm a regular customer."

"Hey, you guys are always like this." Young The network administrator looked helpless, then took out an ID card from the pile of debris on the table next to him and flicked it on the machine a few times.

Luo Xi, Lin Qiqi, and An Zhiyan are all very observant memory pickers, so the three of them saw the information on the ID card almost at the same time.

The ID card of a person named ‘Gao Zhao’.

It's not the network administrator. It may be the ID card that I picked up. The photo on the ID card was burnt by cigarette butts and turned yellow, making it hard to see the appearance.

But at this moment, that’s not important.

An Zhiyan’s eyes lit up.

"Sunshine Internet Cafe, an ID card named Gaozhao, Sunshine Gaozhao? It turns out that it really does not refer to the weather."

"Go, inside, No. 46, 47, and 48." The young network manager said without raising his head.

He seems to be playing a game.

Very engaged.

The Internet cafe is a bit dark.

The smell is not very good either. Many people are sitting on the sofa, wearing headphones and staring at the screen, controlling the mouse and keyboard and playing games very immersedly.

Basically, people who go to Internet cafes either watch movies or play games, or watch when they are tired.

The three of them walked in and looked at the numbers on the computers.

For No. 46, it should be on the inside.

“There’s something wrong with the screen.” Lin Qiqi whispered at this time.

Luo Xi also discovered it.

For many people playing games here, the screen seems to be covered with a layer of mosaic, making it difficult to see the content clearly.

Obviously something is not normal.

There are also more unusual situations.

Lin Qiqi suddenly stopped at this time. She looked at a young woman over there who was playing a game.

The other party was wearing headphones, staring at the screen almost without blinking, and even the whole person was motionless, like a statue. In addition, this woman is very thin, as if she has not eaten for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is skinny and bones.

The withered hands still control the mouse and keyboard from time to time.

But if you look closely, the movements are still very mechanical and stiff.

In fact, the entire Internet cafe is very thin, and most of them appear to be severely malnourished.

"Know?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

Lin Qiqi looked back and nodded: "There was a master from a long time ago. I haven't seen her for a few days. I thought she had become amnesiac. I didn't expect to be here."

"She used to be a very fat woman." Luo Xi said.

Lin Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Did you notice the size of her clothes? Yes, she used to be fatter, and sometimes she would tease her, saying that even if she didn't eat for a long time, she was the best among us. The one who can last the longest.”
"She didn't lie to you, she did persist for a long time." Luo Xi looked at the corner over there at this time, where he saw a person who was almost as thin as a skeleton and looked haggard. I am still controlling the mouse and keyboard, but it takes a long time before I move.

Not so, one might think he is dead.

But the next moment, the body of this man, who had withered to the point of being like a mummy, tilted, and the trace of living brilliance in his eyes also dissipated.

Completely out of breath.
