Chapter 5 Beginners (Bronze)

 There was no unexpected gain, but it was expected. Director Zhang didn’t think Xiao Gu could know anything, and the surveillance showed it clearly——

At that time, Lao Ding was in the duty room, and Xiao Gu was walking by outside. The two of them just said a few words and greeted each other in the distance, without any contact at all. Moreover, after Xiao Gu walked out, Lao Ding did not show up.

The situation, encountering evil spirits, etc. will all happen an hour later.

To put it bluntly, it’s very difficult to blackmail someone, especially when it comes to “blackmailing” people.

So the middle-aged woman spoke vaguely, saying that the security situation was not very good recently, and asked him to be more careful, and confused the reason for her question. Of course, Gu Mo knew that it was not because of this, but he didn't guess the specifics.

I just thought it was Old Man Ding who used his talent for gossiping again and started making up his own rumors.

This made him somewhat suspicious. It was only at this level that Old Man Ding's imagination could make such a leap. When he saw short sleeves, he immediately thought of white arms. Therefore, even if he behaved a little strangely, he could immediately think that there was something wrong with him.

……

——Or is it really so obvious that you are so full of flaws in the eyes of others that you already look suspicious?

But it's not too late to make amends. He has decided to play the role of a normal person from now on so that no one can see the problem.

When he got home, he first took a shower, then threw the washed clothes into the washing machine, packed up everything, dried his hair, and then lay on the bed. After such a series of actions, he picked up his mobile phone

After looking at it, I found that there was still about half an hour left.

Gu Mo breathed out softly. He didn't know whether he should be happy about this. This meant that he seemed to have gradually become accustomed to the current rhythm... Sure enough, are people forced to do this?

But there is nothing he can do about it. His current situation is like this. Apart from adapting, is there any other way?

"Maybe we have to consider moving."

Recalling what happened when Director Zhang stopped him for questioning, such thoughts could not be suppressed in his mind. Gu Mo began to search for nearby rental businesses on his mobile phone. Although he seemed a bit neurotic, he felt that

It’s better to be on the safe side.

There are the most concentrated elderly men and women in this community. Old Man Ding is just the talkative one among them, but he is definitely not the only one, and he is not the one with the strongest fighting power. What is even more frightening is that these old men and women do not know who they are.

I am not a fan of mechas, but I understand the key of "integration can enhance combat effectiveness". They often gather together to catch wind and shadows and make things out of thin air, and the power of gossip increases exponentially...

I was really stupid to move here because I thought the conditions here were good.

So I’d better move to another place. No one knows me in the new place... Well, there’s no need to move too far. After all, nowadays, people’s social circles in cities are fragmented. Often, people in a community

People don’t fully recognize each other.

It's not like a rural area or something like that. I left my own village, but in the village next door, and the village next door, anyone may have heard of me, or maybe I can relate to my seventh aunt or eighth aunt.

Relationships and the like...

So as long as I stay two streets away, it is estimated that people in this community will never find me again, and after a while, they will forget that there is such a person as me.

"Well, it's best to move next to that restaurant. If it's very close, even if they don't have a takeout business, they should be able to leave a reservation for me..."

Thinking of this, Gu Mo became more determined to move away.

Perhaps it was really his own imagination and hallucinations that caused him to look for food everywhere last night, wandering around the late-night snack stalls in the city, and finally found that those things were difficult to swallow.

"Well, by the way, what was the name of the street before?"

Raising his head and thinking for a while, Gu Mo found that he had not paid attention to the news, and there was no way to use this address as an address to search for nearby house rental businesses... He thought for a while, then lowered his head to open the takeout software and entered "

The four words "Xingping Restaurant" are used as key words.

Click search, and in less than a second, a new page pops up.

"Xingping Restaurant", "Xingping Catering", "Happiness Restaurant"...

A series of similar search results were listed. The nearest "Xingping Restaurant" was 8.7 kilometers away. Other than that, the real owner could not be found.

Raising his eyebrows, Gu Mo was not surprised. He had already expected this. After all, there was no mobile payment or other code scanning methods in the store, so this store did not open a takeout business and had not registered on the platform at all.

It is also a very reasonable thing.

"Forget it, let's go over and take a look tomorrow."

Looking at the time displayed on his phone, he sighed, put his phone away, put his head in his hands and adjusted his posture, trying to make himself sleep more comfortably... He knew what would happen next, as time came

, your vision will go dark and you will lose consciousness directly.

By the time I opened my eyes again and my perception and thinking abilities came back online, it was already midnight at midnight the next morning when I was full of energy.

Oh my god, his sleep has never been so good!

But this is definitely not a good thing, and Gu Mo doesn't think it's acceptable, especially now that he has decided to save himself, thinking that he still has a chance to correct himself.

He also knows that this is abnormal, which is his biggest advantage and proof that his condition is still relatively mild. If he is like the mental patient he saw, he has completely accepted the new personality and adapted to the new personality.

With a distorted world view, I feel that I am the supreme martial arts master with a fruit knife, and I can slay dragons with a sword...

——Then it’s probably really hopeless.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

Counting the seconds silently in his mind, Gu Mo cheered up, widened his eyes, and warned himself over and over again - I am very energetic, it is still early, I am normal, and I don't think there is anything wrong with me... I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't

I don’t want to sleep, but I don’t want to sleep...

Four, three, two, one, time's up.

Accompanied by the harsh auditory hallucinations that seemed to be mixed with electric current, his vision went dark, his consciousness quickly dimmed, and the reality connected to his sensory perceptions quickly moved away.

"Zizi...%¥#@&...zizi...$#%&@..."

"Scene: Yukihira meal...sizzling...$#%&..."

"Difficulty: Easy."

"Exploring the current scene...zizi...$#%&..."

"Zizi...field...$#%&...Mode: Peace."

"Task triggered: 0."

"Mission completed...Zizi...$#%&..."

"Comprehensive evaluation: f-(lowest evaluation)."

It's like an electric current flowing through the nerves, the messy noise is meaningless, but among the fragments are mixed some fragmented information fragments that are sometimes clear or fuzzy. They circulate over and over again and can barely be distinguished.

It's just that for the parties who have been "forced offline", these things do not exist.

"Unlock the achievement...Zizi...$#%&...obtain the title "Beginner (Bronze)", the title badge buff effect is activated by default..."

"Your... $#%&... life level has been improved. It is now level 1 and you have obtained 1 free attribute point. Please choose the direction of investment of points carefully..."

"%¥#@&...Users under the age of 18 will be subject to the anti-addiction system...zizi...the online time has reached 8 hours and will be forced to log off...please complete it as soon as possible...zizi...%¥#

@&...Real-name authentication..."

Amidst the piercing noise and rustling, it was like an old TV malfunctioning and the strange noise coming from the snowflake screen. However, after the last fragment of the broken message was played, everything stopped, and there was no more movement.

The young man on the bed has a long and quiet breath.

It seems like he is sleeping in a sweet dream.

……

……

I don’t know how much time has passed.

It's still the familiar feeling like electric current flowing through the nerves. The hearing that was the first to recover first felt the harsh torture, followed by the full return of sensory perception.

It is not the process in which the body's functions gradually recover from sleep, the process in which a person wakes up from sleep, gathers his will bit by bit, and regains his clarity bit by bit, but a very abrupt one...

Well, how to describe it?

Anyway, I was fast asleep one second, and suddenly woke up the next second——

And I am completely awake, all the hazy sleepiness has disappeared, and I am full of energy and energy. This feeling is really weird and hard to describe.

"Looking on the bright side, at least I don't have the problem of staying in bed anymore..." Gu Mo sat up on the bed and blinked his eyes. In the dim room, he saw the fluorescent screen of the electronic clock on the bedside table. The time displayed told him that he would be here today.

I also woke up on time at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

He shook his head, put on his shoes and got out of bed. In the past, the main reason for staying in bed was that he couldn't wake up and didn't sleep enough. When he woke up, he was still very sleepy, so he couldn't wait to sleep for a while. For this purpose, he would not hesitate to activate "Substitute: Waste of Time"

……

But now every time I wake up, I feel very energetic and not sleepy at all. Naturally, I don’t think about sleeping for a while, so there is no thought or need to stay in bed.

This is probably the only benefit Gu Mo has discovered from his strange symptoms so far...

It seems that yesterday's persistence failed, the psychological construction was not successful, and he fell asleep as soon as the time came. With this thought, he came to the bedside table, picked up the electronic clock and looked at it. Today, he woke up accurately to the second.

It seems that I fell asleep within seconds yesterday morning.

Although it is said that as long as you exercise normally and have a normal schedule, your biological clock can be controlled, and it is more accurate than human imagination. It is said that horse racing jockeys even have biological clocks measured in tenths of a second... But, under normal circumstances

Gu Mo felt that he did not have this ability.

Why is it that in a sick state, the body's biological clock can be calculated in seconds?

——Well, the world of mental patients is indeed unimaginable.

He put down the electronic clock and turned around to pick up the clothes hanging on the chair next to the computer desk. He had already prepared them before he fell asleep yesterday morning because he would use them the next day.

Walking into the bathroom, Gu Mo brushed his teeth and washed his face as quickly as possible, solved his personal problems and then took a good shower.

After coming out, his hair was still wet and he didn't even glance at the hair dryer. Instead, he decisively picked up the keys, took his mobile phone and wallet, and rushed downstairs.

After all, he didn’t know when the restaurant was open. It was said that it was quite late last night. He rushed there today and wondered if he could make it... This made him feel a sense of urgency. If possible, he didn’t even want to wash up.

, I killed him as soon as I got up.

"Xiao Gu, why are you going out so late?"

At the entrance and exit of the community, the middle-aged man in the duty room heard the noise. He raised his head nervously and looked outside. He breathed a sigh of relief after realizing it was Gu Mo.

"Yeah, I recently found a night shift job..." Although Gu Mo was a little anxious, in order to maintain his normal persona, he still stopped and explained patiently, and then he looked at the middle-aged man strangely.

, "But Uncle Zhang, why are you on duty tonight? Isn't Old Man Ding on duty this week?"

"...Old Ding, he has been busy these days. Let me help him take a look." The middle-aged man's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he answered with a stiff smile.

"That's it, then you should pay attention to your health. It's very windy at night and don't freeze..."

Gu Mo nodded. He just asked a question casually, so he didn't think too much about it. He waved and walked out quickly.

Seeing the young man's figure disappearing out of the window, the middle-aged man glanced out nervously several times, and sat back down looking a little suspicious. He didn't believe Old Man Ding's nonsense, but it was undeniable.

That kind of rhetoric really makes him feel uncomfortable now.

……

……

Two minutes later.

"How could it be? I remember I was here..."

Gu Mo walked back and forth several times in the snack street near the end of the street. He ignored the enthusiastic solicitations from the owners or waiters of the shop stalls on both sides and looked back and forth with his eyes wide open.

Impossible! How could this happen?

In his mind, the small alley leading to the commercial street on the other side was right here. But what appeared in front of him now was just a dead end filled with all kinds of debris and a rusty door.

The iron door was locked tightly and looked like it had seen some age.

Could it be that he remembered it wrong? He looked back with a complicated mood, then turned around and walked towards that area.

When he came to the other side of the street, he looked around, and then his eyes lit up.

Dark alley...

There is a light at the end opposite...

It turned out that he really remembered it wrong, it was not over there but over here. He suddenly felt relieved, and then decisively stepped in, frowning amidst the harsh buzzing and noise, and finally

Passing through the dim and uncertain alley, we came to the other side.
