The Midnight Owl

“Ten years ago?” The man repeated this time, something flashed in his eyes.

Xu Wang Zheng focused on the head: “Ten years ago, in the owl.”

The man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Wang seriously for the first time, but soon, he smiled again and shook his head: “How old were you ten years ago, I don’t remember meeting children in it.”

Xu Wangding decided to look at him: “On 3/23, inside the hospital door, you stabbed a zombie pounced on you, but after the stabbing you felt strange, because before the zombie pounced on you, it seemed to hit something.”

The man was stunned, and his gaze flickered for a moment, as if drifting towards the distant old scene with many details blurred.

“Later, you went to the third floor of the infection department building, you use to check the situation in the office …”

Xu Wang continues. These things that he had forgotten for a whole year, after being re-turned out, are clearer day by day. The details he remembers now are even more and more accurate than when he just thought about them.

“You gave the vaccine to the old doctor, but it was overwhelmed by another male doctor who bit the whole army. You ran away and didn’t care about your soul painter …”

“Are you there?” The man was unbelievable and had to believe. The process of going through the night that night, besides him and his teammates, there could not be a fifth person to know. The details of what the zombie hit, if not specifically brought up, even he forgot.

“Yes,” Xu Wang said, “I’m here.”

The man thought for a moment and then connected all the anomalous details: “The one hit by the zombie …”

“It’s me.” Xu Wang helped him seal it.

The man’s brow furrowed in confusion: “You are in the owl, but we can’t see you, why?”

Xu Wang said: “Because I shouldn’t belong there, I’m not a passer-by, but that was inexplicably sucked in that day, like an owl …”

“There is a bug.” This time, the man finished speaking for him.

Xu Wang was stunned. For a long time, he recovered his voice: “Did that night you also …”

The man shrugged and smiled, “It seems that that night was not just a turning point in my fate.”

The two parties talked about the mystery of the words, thirteen little friends heard their faces dumbfounded, and there was a little friend named Wu who understood everything, but it was easy to be ambiguous about the vagueness of “that night” Is very dissatisfied.

Yue Shuai and Wang Duanran just came over to buy some intelligence. They had to sit down and listen to the story of ten years ago. Although Chi Yingxue, Kuang Jinxin, and Qian Ai knew the source of the captain and the owl, but now this source had crossed with the intelligence sellers, so they had to follow the big army and scratch it all over again.

Fortunately, the thread of “That Night” is still clear–

Xu Wang strayed into the owl and witnessed Mr. Fan-the seller was polite, anonymous, and no surname-the process of the annihilation of the entire army. Then another team broke in and succeeded in the submission. Then Xu Wang talked to the owl and got a fragmented “help me”, he was bounced back to reality and he lost his memory.

But this story actually has a follow-up.

After the successful submission of that team, he left the owl, but Mr. Fan, who had previously run away, was not bounced back to reality because of the submission of other teams. The reason is probably the same as Xu Wang’s “mistake”, which was caused by the instability of the owl. Obviously, his detention also belongs to “abnormality”. Perhaps it is this “abnormality” that caused the owl without communication success in Xu Wang to find him again.

I wonder if I have absorbed the experience of failing to talk to Xu Wang, improved the algorithm in a short time, or applied any repair patches. In short, this time, the owl’s expression is clearer.

[Owl: Help me, help me turn off the road connecting here and outside. 】

This is the first sentence said by Mr. Owl and Mr. Fan.

Inside the house with the door closed, it was so quiet that it could hear the sound of a feather falling on the carpet.

Did the owl bug out ten years ago? ! Xu Wang also took advantage of this bug to swim around? ! Will the owl change the yin and yang weirdness and say something unrelated to the barrier? ! After Xu Wang didn’t explain it, he knew to find a second person? !

This series of shocks has already shattered the nerves of the partners present, but everything is not comparable to the last one-

“Can the road be closed-? !!!”

This can be more exciting than leaving the owl early. Leaving ahead of time, it is to escape and run off the road, that is world peace!

Mr. Fan had to continue to speak. Suddenly, a dozen people shouted in unison. He shut his mouth and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face. He moved the swivel chair backward without any trace.

“Exactly, it is the road that can seal the first 13 levels.”

Xu Wang: “What about the last ten hurdles?”

“It didn’t say that.” Mr. Fan shook his head. “It just asked me to help him cut off the roads of the first 13 levels. Once successful, all the passers-by of the first 13 levels were relieved and no longer need to enter the owl.”

“What about the owl world in the first thirteen levels? Will it be destroyed?” Xu Wang suddenly flashed many faces in his mind, 3/23 Xiao Ding, 4/23 Xiao Huang Xiao Bai Heo Mo, 5/23 Xiao Hungry and so on, although reason tells him that these are just NPCs, Xu Wang still has no way to use them as a key to restore the data that can disappear.

Mr. Fan hesitated for a moment, apparently never thought about this question, and finally smiled helplessly: “I have never asked the owl and I cannot answer you.”

“How to close the passage?” Wu Sheng said politely, pulling the topic back to the “core”.

Wang Duanran and Xu Wang ’s partner immediately raised their ears. At the same time, the broken embossed board flashed in his heart, and the airport spent nothing overnight.

Although Yue Jiajun had no experience, he also heard Xu Wang’s retelling, so he was equally nervous at the moment.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Fan sighed softly: “Sorry, I don’t know this either.”

The little friends of the whole house were flashed together.

Wang Duanran’s black line: “Is there anything you know?”

Mr. Fan smiled: “How to leave the owl in advance.”

Fifteen little friends: “…”

What is a good seller? When it comes to selling oranges, you never sell apples.

“You need to collect the badges of levels 1-13, and then hand in the paper successfully on 13/23. After the paper is handed in, the owl will send you into the” Wishing House “and tell you that it can meet a wish under your specific conditions, as you Rewards for entering the last ten levels. But do n’t make a wish, and say the following password clearly-I want to talk to the owl. Repeat three times, another owl will come out, then you can choose to end this, and leave early . “

Yue Shuai: “Another Owl?”

Mr. Fan: “This is just my own distinction. I always feel that the owl that gave various rules and tips during the break is not the same as the owl who talked to me that night, although they sound exactly the same.”

Wu Sheng: “Is it possible that they are the same, but the usual owl is restricted, and the BUG makes it awaken some autonomous consciousness, or is it partly awakening, causing the BUG that night?”

Mr. Fan: “…”

Wu Sheng: “But we haven’t encountered a bug for so long, and we haven’t heard of other buggers saying that this kind of bug exists. Is it possible that it has been repaired? Even if we reach the 13th level, we can’t use the command to trigger anymore ? “

Mr. Fan: “…”

Wu Sheng: “Mr. Fan?”

Mr. Fan: “This friend, if I need to participate in academic seminars, the price will be discussed separately, and I do not promise to provide rational light of wisdom.”

What Wu Sheng said, was patted lightly.

Turning his head, it was Xu Wang.

The latter led his gaze and looked around the bookshelves in the room.

“La Traviata”, “Whistling Mountain Villa”, “Jane Love”, “Gone with the Wind”, “Notre Dame Cathedral”, “Thorn Bird”, “Norway’s Forest”, “Love in the Cholera Period” … Every period, every country, Various styles of love make up the sea of ​​books throughout the room. If you have to find a book in the middle that has nothing to do with love, then only the one on the desk case-“Think about Getting Rich”.

Wu Sheng’s eagerness to explore scientific research is completely stable.

Talk about love or money with this seller.

“Mr. Fan, the owl asked you to help him seal the road. You didn’t agree, so you were given the second option, that is, to help you leave the owl early?” Gu Nian, who had been silent for a while, said, because I always felt that there was something wrong with the logic. .

If, as Wu Sheng said, the owl awakened a part of its autonomous consciousness, then after being rejected, should n’t the most common response be persuaded, even if it does n’t make sense, give up and find someone else, why give a way to leave early ? This is like a person who refuses to help you, but you still have to “reward” him, which is strange.

“I promised.” Mr. Fan tapped the armrest of the seat lightly, and his eyes were calm, like a lake.

Fifteen little friends froze.

“I agreed at that time, and promised to help it close the passage.” Mr. Fan continued, “It asked me to collect all the badges and went to 13/23. After submitting the paper, do not make a wish in the wishing room and say that I will talk to the owl three times. , It will come out, and then tell me the specific method of closing. “

The fifteen friends were even more ignorant.

This is basically the same method as leaving the owl in advance!

“I did as I did. I really wanted to shut down the owl. Anyway, I tried it and I didn’t lose anything. The worst result was that I continued to go through 23 levels …” Mr. Fan looked out of the window and the sunlight shone on him On his face, his distinct outline was reflected, but also the ridicule of his eyes. “But after 13 levels, the owl was shouted in the wishing room, but it gave me another choice.”

“Close the owl, or leave the owl in advance.” Wu Sheng probably knew the direction and outline of the past.

Mr. Fan withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at him. There was a difference in the degree of embarrassment between self-examination and being revealed.

Wu Sheng has never understood this subtle thing, and did not want to condemn the other party at all, that is, seeking truth from facts, so looking at the other party’s gaze was very calm, and even a little dry.

Mr. Fan was happy, and suddenly he followed it calmly: “Yes. When I want to close the owl, I am barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. But when I have a pair of shoes, then I have no reason to fight desperately … “

“I chose to leave early, and the owl satisfied me. So you asked me how to close the channel, I really don’t know, that is the person who chose the A option, only to have the right to know.”

Xu Wang: “Does anyone choose A?”

Mr. Fan: “I can only say that the team that buys intelligence from me has basically chosen B.”

Yue Shuai: “Basic?”

Mr. Fan: “There are teams who have chosen C.”

Fourteen friends: “…”

Qian Ai: “When will another C option pop up! If you squeeze toothpaste again, I will complain to the Consumers Association, believe it or not!”

Mr. Fan: “C option is to continue to go back, complete all 23 levels, and then leave.”

Qian Ai: “What other information do you want to buy from you? Isn’t it worth a million dollars?”

Mr. Fan: “People are willing to fight, I can’t stop it.”

Qian Ai: “…”

The world of the rich is so hard to understand! ! !

…

“A sneeze–” Fan Peiyang, who listened to the report in a good manner, sneezes without thinking.

Zheng Luozhu stopped talking, concerned: “Boss?”

“It’s okay.” Fan Peiyang waved his hand and leaned into the boss’s chair. “Continue.”

Zheng Luozhu: “The relevant information is this.”

Fan Peiyang rushed to the desk case, crossed his hands against his chin, thought for a moment, and said, “OK, I know.”

Without Fan Peiyang talking again, Zheng Luozhu had already left in consciousness and helped him to the door thoughtfully.

After the thirteen levels, every level has to be counted, and every second can’t be taken lightly. Fortunately, the difficult task of planning is laid out, and the boss is standing by.

Tonight the leaderboard is about to be opened again, and their team, who has just entered the last ten levels, must still miss the list.

Zheng Luozhu doesn’t have any obsession with this, but he always feels that the boss who has been accustomed to despising the top will be more mindful.

This is definitely a pot of owl.

Who can think of the list of the first 13 levels and the last 10 levels as two separate systems that do not affect each other and do not meet each other. And the teams that have entered the last ten levels will not retreat to the first thirteen levels regardless of the success or failure of the submission. So much so that until 13/23, they thought they were the best in the whole owl. As a result, after entering the ten levels, the reality hit the face fiercely.

The phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

Zheng Luozhu hurriedly answered without knowing who he was.

“Come in again.” Over the phone, the boss’ 108th call came.

“Okay.” Zheng Luozhu smiled and cried in his heart.

What kind of information do you want to ask this time? Or should he come to a big summary? Report three or five hours? Otherwise, when the boss thought of something, he called him once. When he had a new idea, he called him back. It did n’t bother him. But it ’s troublesome. The legs of this trip are thin!

…

Fifteen partners of the three teams left the villa and set a resort hotel directly nearby.

The environment on the outskirts of the city is really good, especially at night and in the breeze and moon.

The fifteen friends did n’t waste a good time. They should eat, drink, sleep, and sleep, and be full of energy. Some would go to the swimming pool to thrash, some would do it alone, some would lift barbells in the gym, and some Sitting in the room thinking about life.

But this time it was not Wu Jun, but Captain Xu.

“What’s wrong?” Wu Sheng, a captain of his own team who had wanted to go for a swim, rarely sat back to the bed and asked curiously.

Xu Wang frowned at him: “It’s so strange.”

Wu Sheng stunned and raised his hand to himself: “I?”

“No, your handsomeness is very standard.” Xu Wang was wearing a white moonlight filter at all times. “I mean the owl is too strange. Since he wants Mr. Fan to help him, why give him the second choice?”

If there is no so-called second option for “leave early”, it may become a help!

“I’m still wondering what kind of quirky problem you have.” Wu Sheng pulled the person over, and pressed it naturally against Xu Wang’s back, encircling the person, resting his chin on his shoulder, leisurely, “You treat the owl as a Program, a program with self-healing function, this problem is well understood. “

Xu Wanggang wanted to indulge in this warm embrace, and heard what “programs” and “self-healing”, so the gentle scene of moonlight in the window before him suddenly changed into a row of desks and chairs in the classroom.

Holding him behind is Wu Sheng’s Yuanshen, as for the flesh, then knock on the blackboard in front of the lecture.

“Part of the owl’s awakening gave it a sense of autonomy, to talk to you and Fan, and even set a password at the 13th level that can summon it. But for a given program, such awakening must be a BUG, Either rely on external forces to eliminate, or rely on its own original algorithm to find bug fixes. “

Xu Wang looked back at him with a little effort: “The owl did … is the second kind?”

“Yes.” Wu Sheng couldn’t help rubbing his face and said, “The owl’s self-healing, there is no way to erase the awakening consciousness. Only the options given by the awakening consciousness can be forced to add the repair function. Binary. “

Xu Wang’s back was warm, but in his heart, he still passed by for a while: “It’s expected, no one will make it easy.”

“Well.” Wu Sheng hugged people more tightly. “These are just my guesses, but if you take into account the embossed board, the owl has its own repair function. It should be inseparable.”

Xu Wang understood Wu Sheng’s meaning and stopped speaking.

It is assumed that the destruction of the embossed board caused the inaccessibility of 10/23, then after the next day, everything is still the same as the logical chain of conjecture “with its own repair function”.

“Oh right,” Wu Sheng suddenly remembered something like, said, “Fan Yebai.”

Xu Wang didn’t understand: “What?”

Wu Sheng said: “Mr. Fan’s full name.”

Xu Wang surprised: “How do you know?”

Wu Sheng said: “The speed of the ranking list, 12/23, Du Yin, Fan Yebai, Li Dian, Mu Yixuan, Peng Ye, 09:46:58. On the entire list, there is such a surname Fan, I think it should be him. “

Xu Wang: “Do you think?”

Wu Sheng: “I think.”

Xu Wang: “Well, that must be it.”

After five minutes.

Xu Wang: “You should have told me then.”

Wu Sheng: “What?”

Xu Wang: “His full name may be used to get close to the price.”

Wu Sheng: “The three-level strategy guide is still the version ten years ago. It costs a million dollars to pack, which is a bit dark.”

Xu Wang: “It is!”

Wu Sheng: “Well.”

Xu Wang: “…”

Wu Sheng: “…”

Xu Wang: “Do you think that” Thinking of Getting Rich “can really make you rich?”

Wu Sheng: “His life is indeed very good.”

Xu Wang: “Shall we also buy a research study?”

Wu Sheng: “Qian Ai has placed an order.”

Xu Wang: “…”
