The raindrops as big as beans hit the window, Qu Yanqing rubbed his eyes, and all his hair stuck to the side of her face. She reached out and brushed it away, stretched out her body leaning against the sofa, and woke up from her drowsy state.
She didn't want to sleep at first, but the sound of rain was isolated outside the window, and she was no longer as aggressive as she could sound very hypnotic.
In addition, she felt very safe when she was nestled on the sofa at Yu Xing’s house. She was sleepy unknowingly, curled up and hugged a small fish pillow, which was soft and comfortable.
It rarely rains so heavily in winter in Michijima.
After the pre-event ended, the rain began. It was almost two days before it ended. Because of the event, the forums in the absurd system had already been in full swing. All the forces with names mentioned were "distributed" the times, and they really had the stance to unite against the enemy to open the defensive front against the tester.
But this has nothing to do with her Breaking Mirror Squad. After allocating it on the forum, there will always be seven or eight out of twenty places, leaving it to those small teams who are lucky enough to get two or three places. Each of them occupies five places, as long as you grab it before everyone finally determines the position.
Carlos is responsible for staring at the event announcement section, not her, so she is very idle now and is waiting for supper.
Qu Yanqing looked towards the kitchen quietly, and the two men were busy in the kitchen wearing aprons.
Yu Xing looked a little tired, and staying in the kitchen with wide shoulders and long legs was a pity. Qu Yanqing could only see Yu Xing’s face half of his side. Just like many years ago, he still looked like a college student and was extremely deceptive.
As for the other...
Zhao Mou was forcibly abducted to the kitchen by Yu Xing because Zhao Yijiu said that Zhao Mou's cooking was delicious, so Yu Xing's eyes lit up. He pulled Zhao Mou, who was doing the session analysis, from his desk, and tied his apron without saying a word.
I don’t know what Yu Xing thought. There were several aprons in the house. Except for the pure black one he often used, the rest were bright in color. At that time, Yu Xing took out other aprons and maliciously asked Zhao Yijiu to help choose one for Zhao Mou. Zhao Yijiu decisively ignored the wink that Zhao Mou gave him, and pointed to the pink one-
Qu Yanqing looked at the scene in the kitchen in a good mood, and his eyes stayed on Zhao Mou's pink apron for a moment, feeling unexpectedly appropriate.
Suddenly, the sofa where she was sitting fell, and a blue-haired head suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes. Carlos smiled and leaned over to the backrest of the sofa, and whispered: "Are you sleepy?"
Qu Yanqing raised his eyebrows and looked at the guy who exceeded the safe social distance, but said nothing, and replied lazily: "No sleepy."
"If you are not sleepy, do you want to see me turn into magic? I'm just going to show Zhao Yijiu, but he said I'm bored~" Carlos lowered his body and moved on the back of the sofa, especially like a large dog acting coquettishly.
"Can you take a look at it~"
Qu Yanqing: "..." Brother, I was exaggerating.
But to be honest, she is still a person who is soft but not hard. Even if her teammates act coquettishly, she doesn't want to refuse even if it is obviously just to achieve her goal.
Carlos is the most courageous "newcomer" deducer she has ever met. She was a little afraid to talk to her on the day she met. After more than half a month of getting along, she no longer looks at her current generation at all.
"I didn't say you're bored." In fact, Zhao Yijiu was sitting next to him. His face was calm, wearing his anti-blue light glasses, looking at his phone, and corrected him after hearing this, "I just said that your magic trick was very mentally retarded."
"Hiss." Carlos took a breath, turned his head and stared at him with a pair of green eyes, "Listen, are you talking about human words?"
"Do you really want to listen to me telling nonsense?" Although Zhao Yijiu didn't like to say too much, he was not a big deal when it comes to harming others.
"Forget it, I don't want to be raped by the 'big brother'." Carlos smiled and was satisfied that he saw Zhao Yijiu calm expression and felt a little frustrated. He turned his head to look at Qu Yanqing, "Then I've become that magic. Come on, look at the playing cards in my hand..."
In the kitchen, Zhao Mou, who had arranged the plates, took a lot of energy and looked outside suspiciously. He saw his younger brother sitting on the sofa, looking at his cell phone on the surface, and his ear tips were a little red.
As for the angle, he could only see Carlos and Qu Yanqing getting close together, and he couldn't see what they were doing.
"Yu Xing, Yu Xing!" He patted Yu Xing who was trying to steal the potato cubes, "What is that guy Carlos doing?"
Yu Xing used chopsticks to hold the potatoes into his mouth, squinted his eyes happily, then looked at Zhao Mou indifferently, and then said "Oh": "Isn't this obvious? He is flirting with girls."
"?" Zhao Mou's actions were incredible, "Don't you think this is outrageous? What kind of flirting with him? Are you not afraid of being cut off?"
"First of all, Carlos is a habit of flirting with girls. He likes to flirt everywhere, regardless of gender or occasion. When you didn't look there, he just flirted with your brother." Yu Xing wiped his mouth, "Secondly, who gave you the illusion that my little Ququ likes to chop people casually? As long as it is not an enemy, she is basically very gentle. Look at how obedient she is every time she performs a task."
Zhao Mou: "..." Obedience is just your illusion! Apart from you, she is not so cold to anyone, and she doesn't even send cat emoticons to the team's WeChat group!
Don't post private chats!
But she is indeed reliable in protecting the backs of her teammates.
Zhao Mou thought, as the deputy captain, should he change his mind? He was four years old at least, so he couldn't always see Qu Yanqing bringing the halo of a great devil. After all, although Qu Yanqing has high combat power, her sword will never point to her own people.
Then why did he put so many restrictions on himself? It was not for those outsiders, he had to maintain his experienced and difficult personality.
But just as he was about to bring the dishes out, he heard Qu Xianqing say to Carlos: "This magic is really mentally retarded, you should stay away from me."
Then, Carlos, who looked innocent, was picked up by Qu Yanqing and was gradually thrown on the small sofa where Zhao Yijiu was sitting, and almost hit Zhao Yijiu's head.
Zhao Yijiu experienced unrestrained disaster. After leaning back, he looked at the magician who was beating him, silently pushed the person away, and sat in the most remote seat in the hall, emitting air conditioning alone.
Zhao Mou: "..."
Is the gentleness to my teammates just to throw away someone with the strength that does not match the thin arms and legs?
Yu Xing, who followed him: "..."
He looked at Zhao Mou's expression that was a little cracked for some reason and coughed lightly: "It's time to eat."
...
After dinner, several people sat on the sofa again. With Zhao Mou and Yu Xing here, the others were much more honest and were waiting for the results of the forum to come out.
According to statistics, among the top ten guilds that received the quota this time, one of the top ten guilds fell. According to the ranking, late at night, the Investigation Team, Single Prism, Research Institute, Mysterious Eye, Hourglass, Desire Rose, Ghost Friends Association, Full Moon, and LSP Foundation respectively occupied quotas of seven, eight, four (on the surface), ten, three, four, three, two, two, three, and a total of forty-six, accounting for almost half of all quotas, which is no different from what Zhao Mou had predicted before.
They are indeed absurd top forces. After discussion, they stipulated that the top four forces should be separated and use their own advantages to ensure the comprehensive combat effectiveness of each game to the greatest extent.
The Mysterious Eye, ranked fifth and sixth, has a good relationship with the hourglass. They plan to join together to enter a game, and the remaining four forces will be dispersed to the games where the first four guilds are located.
In this way, the main force in each game is relatively even and more capable of playing.
Of course, it does not mean that they can really unite. This is just a general distribution. At that time, if the deducer really has internal conflicts, no one can stop it. After all, personal grudges are very common among deducers, and not everyone is broad-minded. Once you see the balance of victory shifting towards you, don’t you have the spare time to resolve personal grudges?
"It's basically confirmed that late at night and the full moon go to the chaotic border. The surviving investigation team and the ghost friends will go to the ghost city, Single Prism and Desire Rose to the Crazy City, Research Institute and LSP Foundation go to the Wuguang Town, Hourglass and Mysterious Eye to the Dead Sirijima." Carlos summarized the information he had received after watching for two days.
Zhao Mou laughed while recording: "They have some ideas. Let the strongest theoretical research institute take a group of neutrals to play the Wuguang Town, which is likely to focus on solving puzzles. The late night is full of the moon to avoid the crazy city related to the moon, and the most tacit understanding of the NPC structure is in the city with the most complex NPC structure. They also bring together the fellow enthusiasts who are focusing on studying ghosts. This is indeed the best advantage and avoid the disadvantages. It is the single prism and the rose of desire..."
"What's wrong?" Carlos asked.
Zhao Mou turned around and said, "The two craziest forces are joining together, but they are still entering the Crazy City. Once they enter the deduction, the situation may become very uncontrollable. They want to use madness to scare the tester to death. We will eliminate this option in advance, and whoever enters will be unlucky."
"I didn't plan to be with Single Prism in this kind of activity, it would be of no benefit to anyone." Yu Xing chuckled next to me, "Actually, I prefer Wuguang Town, where there are many friendly troops, and darkness is also the most comfortable environment for Brother Jiu. It can give full play to the mobility of our team. As long as there are no targeted restrictions, no one among us is afraid of darkness."
Now there are only two hours left before two days, and there are very few people who have confirmed the number of games on the announcement board, basically they are small teams of unknown forces. The rest of the people want to wait until the top guilds are confirmed before choosing to follow or avoid a certain force.
Qu Yanqing blinked: "Then choose Wuguang Town? If you really prefer to solve puzzles, Zhao Mou would be more relaxed."
Zhao Mou: "..."
He stopped turning the pen, pinched the pen holder, feeling that he needed to justify himself.
"I'm not necessarily at a disadvantage when I encounter a battle scene. I just can't fight. My tactics are also very strong..."
Zhao Mou pushed his thin-framed glasses, which looked really gentle and scum. Even if he said he could use tactics to kill the opponent, it seemed very credible.
Qu Xianqing said thoughtfully, "Oh": "That's because I underestimated you, I'm sorry, little fox."
"Don't learn from Yu Xing, this dog. I'm four years older than you. If you don't call me brother, you can't call me a little fox." Zhao Mou recalled the way he pretended to be good when he first met Yu Xing, and then thought about the essence of Yu Xing's dog he discovered recently. He was really tired.
Especially this guy Yu Xing is really sure to take others in a wrong way.
"Okay brother." Qu Yanqing's mouth showed a faint smile, which made Zhao Mou feel creepy.
Even Zhao Yijiu glanced at Qu Xianqing for an extra glance.
"Then let's wait for almost the time to register for Wuguang Town." Zhao Mou changed the topic very quickly, just like he didn't hear Qu Yanqing's voice. "And Yu Xing was so high-profile in the exam and ranked first, so many people must be waiting for his choice."
"Well, probably, there should be many people who are interested in me." Yu Xing agreed very much about this. He is so outstanding, and he should be interested in him.
Just as the few people had almost decided on their choice, a muffled sound suddenly came from Yu Xing's bedroom.
Yu Xing's eyes narrowed. There was no one hidden in his bedroom. Why did he make a sudden sound? According to his thoughts, it seemed that only Hua Subai would come without asking.
"What?"
None of the people present were ordinary people, and they were very alert to such things. Zhao Yijiu stood up and faced the bedroom door that Yu Xing closed with cold eyes.
"It's okay, I'll go and have a look first." Yu Xing asked everyone else to sit down first. He walked to the bedroom by himself, opened the door and took a look inside.
The first thing he looked at was the window. Boss Hua liked to put some strange things under his window.
But soon he realized that he had misunderstood Hua Subai this time, because the dull sound was nothing else, but a brush lying quietly on the ground in the middle of his bedroom.
When he saw the brush, Yu Xing was surprised because this thing had been lying in his drawer for a long time.
He walked up to pick up the pen and stared at it quietly for two seconds. The black pen rod was very textured, with birds engraved on it. The hair on the tip of the pen was pure white and beautiful, and it was a high-quality wolf hair pen.
This is [Time stamping].
The gift he received from the "witch" in the time hut of Alice Paradise. Zhao Yijiu also received her gift. Using that gift, he made a powerful sacrifice that could jump for a short time, which shows that the "gift" is very precious.
His brush has never shown any effect. Even if he really wants to use it to write, he can't write any trace. After studying it for a while, he found that it could not be found out, [Time Printing] was placed in the drawer. In any case, it is impossible for an innocent brush to open the drawer by itself, run out of the drawer, and roll onto the floor.
Since he chose this time to make a sound, something abnormal should have happened. Yu Xing thought for a second, and was moved by the inspiration. He sat at the desk with a brush and pointed the tip of the pen at a blank piece of paper.
Sure enough, the next second, the pen that had been pretending to be dead for so long shook slightly, leading his unforced hand to draw a bunch of traces on the paper, and it seemed to be—
