He closed his eyes, and after thinking hard, he finally remembered the source of the cold fragrance -
"Mirror Flow..."
"Is it an illusion? Or am I dreaming?"
"I always felt like I saw Jingliu when I was asleep, and I seemed to have seen her at night a while ago..."
"No, my head hurts and I feel dizzy."
Jinyun smacked his lips. His head felt heavy as if it was filled with cement. Not to mention thinking, even using his cervical vertebrae to support his neck felt like it was about to be broken.
"I've been taking medicine for two days, why isn't the cold medicine working?"
"I have to go to the hospital..."
Jinyun got up, put on his clothes, and left the apartment.
The afternoon sunlight was so dazzling that Jinyun seemed to see the first ray of light from the Big Bang.
The warm rays of light sprinkled on his body, barely providing him with a little warmth.
He took an IV and sat drowsily in the hospital. After a series of tedious registration and consultation, the doctor gave him an IV drip.
"Seasonal colds are very prevalent recently, and common cold medicines are unlikely to work. Young people should not delay seeing a doctor when they are sick."
The gray-haired doctor left after giving a few instructions. The medicine he prescribed for Jinyun was enough for three days, and the patient had to be given an IV drip every twelve hours.
This means that I have to go to the hospital every morning and evening for the next three days.
"Alas, it seems that I have been playing games too hard recently. It took me two days to come to see a doctor."
Jinyun covered his forehead with one hand, looking helpless:
"If my family or Sister Xi knew about this, I'm afraid I'd be scolded."
After the infusion, Jinyun ate on the way and bought some daily necessities before returning.
Over the past few months, except when he had to leave the apartment, he spent most of his time lying in bed playing games like a corpse. He was naturally not used to being at home like this, as he rarely stayed at home like this. He just felt that the world was gray.
He is too lazy to exercise or even cook. When he is hungry, he orders takeout or eats instant noodles. When he is sleepy, he sleeps. When he wakes up, he continues to play games. At such a young age, he gets out of breath after climbing two or three flights of stairs.
Damn, I've spent too much time on this game.
The main reason is that VR helmets are too bulky, just like motorcycle helmets, and are not convenient to carry around.
The body-sensing clothes are okay, like tight pajamas, comfortable and cool in texture, and can be worn as an inner layer.
If Star Network’s technology were more advanced, the VR helmet could be simplified into VR glasses.
After returning home, Jinyun made the messy bed.
While making the bed, the Kagami-style figurine that he had placed next to his pillow for the past two days rolled out from under the quilt and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and caught it in time.
"Hoo, Xiao Jingliu, Xiao Jingliu, please be obedient and don't cause trouble for your master~"
Jinyun smiled teasingly and put Xiao Jingliu back on the computer desk, placing it together with the figurine that Sister Xi gave him.
At this moment, Jinyun suddenly remembered the chill left on his forehead when he just woke up, like a kiss mark:
"Wait a minute... surveillance!"
"I have installed the surveillance camera that Sister Xi sent me last time. If it is not my illusion, then the surveillance camera must have captured something..."
Thinking of this, Jinyun turned on his laptop, called up the connected surveillance equipment, and found the video footage from last night.
After I fell asleep, the quiet room fell into a dead silence in which everything was silent.
The camera has night vision function, so even in the pitch-black night, you can see everything happening in the room.
The first half of the night was very quiet. I slept like a corpse and didn't turn over for several hours.
In the second half of the night, apart from turning over a few times, there was nothing else.
The room was eerily quiet, making Jinyun feel a little unnatural.
It was almost six o'clock, when daybreak was approaching.
A strange box suddenly appeared in the surveillance video.
The green box kept moving across the screen like a fighter jet radar lock, as if it was tracking something.
As for what is being tracked...
As we all know, most surveillance cameras have face recognition functions...
And what this green box tracks, of course, is the face.
When Jinyun saw this scene, he felt his hair stand on end.
Isn’t this a classic scene in horror movies? The protagonists can always see the facial recognition box randomly positioning itself in an invisible place through the camera of their mobile phones or surveillance videos.
As the recording progress bar continued, the facial recognition box quickly disappeared, but the strange thing was that after the box disappeared, the monitor seemed to be covered by someone and went completely black.
Jinyun had to speed up, and it was not until ten minutes later that the picture became clear again.
The screen was black for ten minutes, and no matter how he played it again or switched players, he could not recover.
Jinyun is also a relatively staunch materialist. At least in the past twenty years, he has never encountered any supernatural events, and ghosts, demons, and monsters are far away from his life.
But the recent series of unusual things were so strange that no matter how determined he was, he couldn't help but think about those strange things.
Anyway, let's call Sister Xi and ask her what's going on...
He took out his cell phone and dialed Yun Xi's number. After a while, a familiar cold female voice came from the receiver:
“Sing and go.”
"Sister Xi, please don't be so cold."
Jinyun was a little embarrassed: "I really have something urgent to ask you this time."
"what's up?"
"I feel like my house is haunted..."
"Beep beep."
"Hello? Hey hey hey?"
Yun Xi on the other end of the phone hung up without mercy.
Jinyun twitched his lips, called again, and said hurriedly before the other party could speak:
"Don't hang up on me yet, I'm telling the truth. It can't be said to be haunted, but I just feel like the room has been weird lately, as if someone came in while I was sleeping!"
"..."
Yun Xi on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, then asked, "Where is the evidence?"
"How can there be evidence for something like this? It's just my sixth sense... Don't hang up! The surveillance camera captured something very strange!"
Jinyun recounted what he had seen and copied the video to Yunxi, asking her to view it herself.
About an hour later, Yun Xi called back:
"I've seen the video. Let me explain to you first. The camera I gave you had a malfunction. There are some issues with the facial recognition function, so it doesn't count."
"what?"
"Why else would I give it to you for free?"
"Uh......"
"Secondly, the 10 minutes of black screen was due to data corruption. I have already repaired it and will send you the original video right away."
"That's all? Nothing unusual?"
"No, you think too much. And."
After a pause, Yun Xi added: "What's wrong with your voice? Do you have a cold?"
"Yes, you noticed all this?"
"...Take care of yourself out there. Your parents will be worried."
"oh......"
"That's it, hang up."
"Wait a minute, Sister Xi, what you just said, is it true?"
"Yes."
After saying this, Yun Xi hung up the phone without hesitation, not giving Jin Yun a chance to ask further questions.
When Jinyun opened the chat window, Yunxi sent a video just as she said.
That was the repaired video. The ten minutes of black screen were just as Yun Xi said, with no abnormalities.
But am I overthinking it? I always feel that Sister Xi is a little unnatural, as if she is deliberately hiding something...
-
Because he was not feeling well, Jinyun did not play the game the whole afternoon, but lay in bed to rest.
He didn't get back into the game until he had dinner and finished his evening IV drip.
Gorvik.
During the period of collecting samples, Jinyun did not forget to ask Bronya to complete some side quests in the game to catch up with the administrator level progress.
Now he only has to complete the last three tasks to reach the level of senior administrator. He can already sense that reaching the highest level of administrator will definitely bring about an even more powerful transformation.
In order to facilitate the experimental work in the game, Jinyun commissioned Raven to temporarily clean up a small warehouse in the laboratory as his temporary residence.
Naturally, Bronya moved in as well, and at her strong request, the two of them squeezed into this small warehouse of less than 20 square meters.
In fact, Jinyun has always been struggling over whether or not to tell Bronya the specific details of the experiment.
The experiment to produce the anti-Honkai Impact 3 serum was inhumane, but Bronya was actually a very kind girl by nature, especially after she got to know me. During the nearly three years of getting along with me, her emotions became more and more rich, and the gentleness and kindness in her heart became more and more obvious.
Jinyun was worried that Bronya would not be able to accept the fact that one serum required the antibodies of a thousand patients as the price, so from beginning to end, he did not let Bronya participate in the experiment.
Naturally, the details related to the experiment are kept strictly confidential.
Jinyun locked the experimental data, so even if Bronya used ether editing, she would not be able to break the game instructions set by him as an ordinary administrator.
As to whether this practice is good or bad, perhaps only future generations can judge.
"Mr. Yun."
In the laboratory, Jinyun was busy classifying the data he had obtained, and Bronya slowly floated to his side holding Houm.
The heavily armed bunny powered by Honkai energy extended a mechanical arm and placed a cup of warm milk on his desk.
"It's already late, go to bed early."
"Well, go to sleep first, I'll be fine soon."
"Very soon... huh? Mr. Yun always says so, but you're always busy all night long..."
"It won't happen this time, cough cough, I, cough cough, I'll be fine soon."
"..."
Hearing Jinyun's cough, Bronya's worry became more intense, and even her tone of voice became low:
"Mr. Yun, Bronya begs you, can you go to bed early with Bronya tonight?"
"Bronya..."
"There's always tomorrow, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Jinyun looked at the countdown on the round number and saw that there were only 4 rounds left.
Time is already very tight, so of course we have to work as hard as we can.
But seeing Bronya's pitiful look, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Okay, okay, that's enough for today."
