Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 177

Option one 80%, option two 20%.

……

【Option [-]】

【Investigate in reality】

……

The risk of forced access is too great.

Zheng Zhuo stared at the gray phone interface, and decided to investigate in reality first.

In reality, he still has various [realistic skills].In the [Subconscious World], he didn't dare to say what skills he could still acquire, and whether those skills that were grayed out on the interface could still be used now.

Putting down the phone, Zheng Zhuo took over as Guo Qian's driver.

He watched Guo Qian get into the driver's seat.

The town is deep in the mountains, and the area is small.There were no pedestrians on the street, and the small buildings on both sides of the street were lit up sporadically.

Fire, warehouse, shanty.In such a small town, it is impossible to have a second place that satisfies these three requirements at the same time.Absolutely easy to find.

After shouting a few times, I finally heard the sound of walking down the stairs.

Zheng Zhuo didn't want to be suspicious - that way tomorrow's actions would become troublesome.He said quickly.

Zheng Zhuo's hand stopped.

Zheng Zhuo walked for a long distance along the outside of the town, and the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.

at this time.

"Can you reach that county seat before 10 o'clock..."

too dark.Can't see anything.

Zheng Zhuo didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.He can only wait.

"Find someone?"

Zheng Zhuo once said to him: "We are here to find out why you lost your memory. Our purpose is the same. Follow me, and we will find the answer."

Not surprisingly, this is also an unfinished building.but……

second floor...

rustle.

night.The town was pitch black without street lights.

squeak...

"Hello, I--"

The man pointed to the distance.

……

Zheng Zhuo checks the 【Collective Subconscious】software every day.But there is always just a piece of gray that cannot be selected.

He kept thinking, but could not come up with any results.

Sure enough, imagination is better than reality.

Just when he was about to turn on the light.

This, he thought, was probably the only guest house in the town.

"No! We... are here to find someone." He quickly explained.

He reached out and pulled the rusty door.

【Option [-]】

The door opened.Not locked.

The silver van drove slowly down the street.When he was about to drive out of the county, Zheng Zhuo saw the old red and white signboard of a guest house.

It is estimated that the locals have never thought that someone from outside the local area will come... There is no one in this hotel who can understand Mandarin.

"A man named Zhuang Yusheng. We are here to find him."

【Leave the small building without turning on the lights】

……

It was too hard to find at night.The town is not big, so go to a place with a higher terrain during the day tomorrow and find it with your naked eyes.

Zheng Zhuo went up to the second floor.The second floor has curtains drawn.

He planned to go to the place pointed by the old woman first.

Zheng Zhuo looked at his watch, there was still a quarter of an hour until 10 o'clock in the evening.

【Option [-]】

Zhuang Yusheng's residence at that time was caught in a fire.When said, he was living above a warehouse.

【problem】

The long period of abnormal state when he first got into the car seemed to burn all the emotions in his spirit.Now, he basically does what Zheng Zhuo asks him to do, and he doesn't ask too many questions.

"Is it rough?"

The silver van finally left the highway.They entered the national road from the auxiliary road, and a few hours later, they entered the provincial road from the national road.

Zheng Zhuo reached out and touched the light switch on the side.

"I'm going to stay. But I want to ask some questions."

If he had to face those guys in black suits head-on, this was what Zheng Zhuo was most worried about.

Four hours later, the sky began to darken.The van turns on its headlights.

"Is anyone here--?"

Nearby is a shanty town.

"Let's go to rest later. Go to a place first."

He wanted to rush to Zhuang Yusheng's location as soon as possible.

The van finally arrived at the remote town.

"..."

He walked into the door of the guest house.It was very dark inside.The old interior is still in the style of the 90s of the last century.The inner walls of cement mortar were not even painted, and were bare.At the entrance, an old lamp with a history of at least ten years was hung.When Zheng Zhuo walked in, the dim yellow filament flickered, making "crack" and "crack" sounds.

Anyway, he opened a room and called Guo Qian who had parked his car.

Doesn't it look like there are warehouses and shantytowns around here?
However, there are many unfinished buildings half built by local gentry after development.

5 minute later.

Zheng Zhuo took the key and said.

"what?"

"Isn't Nei Neri not Tesiyo a bit thicker?"

He didn't look very friendly.

……

Probably all at home.

Very slight, like rats scurrying across the ground.

But the status quo still makes him uneasy.

"It doesn't look like it's inhabited?"

Zheng Zhuo stood downstairs on the second floor of the small building and raised his head.

"It's empty."

From the depths of the second floor, there was a sound.

Is this being treated as a thief?
Zheng Zhuo suddenly realized that he was quite suspicious now.

……

The person who came was an old woman with a stooped back.

two hours later.

Unexpectedly, this mandarin is okay—at least the man with a lighter accent than the old lady told the information that Zheng Zhuo wanted most now.

[Turn on the light and rush forward to attack at the same time]

Zheng Zhuo sat in the back seat.The van restarted.

【Option [-]】

Zheng Zhuo didn't know if she understood or not.

……

"Either the old lady made a mistake, or she misunderstood."

It's time for a break.He got out of the car and moved around for a while, then handed over the driver's seat to Guo Qian.

[Next, how to act? 】

But he held back.He maintained the most basic courtesy.

There are some daily necessities on the first floor, but it seems that it has not been used for some time.

"Has there been a fire anywhere near here?"

"After the fire, he moved to the opposite side."

Zheng Zhuo suddenly missed the father and daughter Xue Ying he met when he first entered the [Subconscious World] ... [Small Town World].

"A few unfamiliar faces. What are you doing!?"

"Hey, Guo Qian, I'm ready to go back."

According to Zheng Zhuo's mobile phone navigation, the provincial road ends here.Next, they will enter the county road.

Along the way, Guo Qian was very silent.After he calmed down, he talked less.

Zheng Zhuo and Guo Qian were divided into two shifts, traveling day and night.The van drove through the highway all the way, and two days later, Zheng Zhuo was getting closer and closer to the county where Zhuang Yusheng was located.

"(Can my [persuasion] work a second time?)"

"(I don't know if those black suits have a way to re-brain Guo Qian.)"

He turned his head and said to Guo Qian who was following behind.

The building on the side was pushed away, and a man appeared at the door.

Zheng Zhuo waved Guo Qian to stop and got out of the car by himself.

Zheng Zhuo shrank his neck.He doesn't really want to see the old woman right now - he has a little bit of post-traumatic stress disorder after going through [Martial Arts World].

Zheng Zhuo knocked on the door.

"Oh. Him."

Zheng Zhuo gesticulated, wrote and drew pictures on his mobile phone, and tried every conceivable method to convey his meaning.

Guo Qian did not react violently.He just nodded and said "yes".

Still have to make sure to retreat.He left Guo Qian and entered the building.

Nothing happened during the journey.I haven't met any suspicious people in black suits in the rest area, nor have I received any strange calls.

The afternoon of the fourth day.

Very aggressive tone.

Zheng Zhuo sighed.

Zheng Zhuo explained for a long time.The old woman finally pointed him in a direction.

For Zheng Zhuo, this is of course very convenient - he doesn't have to spend too much energy lying to Guo Qian, and he doesn't have to be constantly alert to whether the other party will attack suddenly.

"Guo Qian, you stand at the door and wait for me."

"Here. The outermost building next to the field. The one with no lights on."

[Turn on the light and wait and see what happens]

This old woman's accent is very strong!Zheng Zhuo didn't understand at all.

【Option [-]】

【Don't turn on the light, lower your voice, and approach the direction of the sound】
