Yes, I saw a word from the crisscrossing streets of Wucheng, and a very dangerous word...

You can say that maybe it's just a bit like that. I don't think so. After experiencing a series of strange events in Lop Nur, I believe that's just one word!

...I turned off the map and put my phone in my pocket.

Meng Xiaoshuai's phone rang, she looked at it but didn't answer.

It was probably called by Wu Min.

Meng Xiaoshuai didn't notice my expression was abnormal. She was talking to me: "Boss Zhou, what do you think of Wu Min?"

I said, "You are more familiar with him."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I want to know what you think of him."

I said, "He is very smart and very talkative. In the future, he may become a big man or a villain without a bottom line."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "It makes sense."

As she said that, her phone rang again, and this time she answered.

It was Wu Min, and I could hear his voice, very clearly: "Xiaoshuai, where are you?"

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Boss Zhou and I are out for a ride."

Wu Min said: "I'm taking a taxi for a ride too. Why don't I go to find you? Let's go to the three of you?"

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "We are back to the resort."

Wu Min said: "Okay, I'm going back too. Bye."

Meng Xiaoshuai hung up the phone directly.

When we arrived at the resort, Wu Min was looking around at the door. Obviously, he was looking for Meng Xiaoshuai.

When we got out of the car, Wu Min ran over.

I asked sensitively: "No...what happened?"

Wu Min said: "No, I'll pick you up."

Actually, I hope something happens. For example, Wu Min suddenly told me: The monsoon is back. Or: All the staff at the resort suddenly disappeared...

I think there is something wrong with this Wucheng.

However, it has never had any problems, which has made me uneasy.

At noon, while everyone was having dinner in the restaurant, Guo Mei and Bai Xinxin sat together.

Bai Xinxin has a good appetite and drank two bottles of beer alone. He said happily: "When I go out, I will write what happened in Lop Nur into a novel, which will definitely be sold in China!"

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Boss Zhou is a writer!"

Bai Xinxin gave me a blank look: "He wrote that he is the protagonist, I wrote that I am the protagonist."

I kept bowing my head and eating. I had no time to talk to him.

Guo Mei said: "Can you make a movie?"

Bai Xinxin said: "It will definitely be, and it is in 3D."

Guo Mei said: "Don't forget my little sister then!"

After lunch, I left early and returned to my room.

Close the door and pull up the curtains, I opened the map on my phone again and continued to observe the streets of Wucheng.

Those streets do form a character, which is "virtual". Of course, unlike standard characters, adjacent strokes are connected.

If I enlarge the map proportion, the word "virtual" becomes smaller; if I reduce the map proportion, the word "virtual" becomes larger.

I checked the online dictionary and the first explanation of the word "virtual" is - emptiness, such as: nothingness.

Our resort is located on the far right of the head of the tiger.

The non-existent municipal government is at the "point" above.

Is this Wucheng nothing, false, and illusory?

How do you explain the waitress's sweet smile?

How do those dedicated taxi drivers explain?

How do you explain the mysterious police officers?

How to explain those tall buildings?

How do we explain the rooms, food, and experiences we live in these days?

I suddenly thought, am I crazy?

Someone knocked on the door and I asked, "Who?"

A female voice came from outside the door: "Waiter, sir, do you need to clean the room?"

I hesitated for a moment.

Could it be the police design again? Last time, they were arresting the chapters, who did they arrest this time?

I walked over and opened the door.

There was a girl standing outside the door, chubby and cute. There was no one behind her.

I said, "Come in."

The girl came in.

When I stayed in a hotel, I rarely asked the waiters to clean the room. I felt that they were too hard and I could clean up myself as much as possible. But today is different. I want to talk to a person from Wucheng.

After the girl entered the door, she cleaned up the bed first.

I stood behind her and said, "Girl, are you your surname?"

She said without looking back: "My surname is Huang."

I said, "What's your name?"

She said, "Just call me Xiao Huang."

I said, "I'm not a bad guy."

She said: "We have regulations that we are not allowed to chat with customers."

I said, "Oh..."

The girl's movements were very quick. She laid the bed and went to clean the bathroom again.

After a while, I walked over and asked again: "What do you think of Wucheng?"

She turned around and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

I said, "Do you like this city?"

She said: "It's not like it or not."

I suddenly said, "Do you think this city exists?"

She looked at me again, wondering: "Sir, what did you say?"

I observed her expression and continued, "I think this city is fake."

She smiled and said, "You are really good at joking."

I said seriously: "I'm not kidding."

She stopped laughing, looked at me seriously, and said, "I have been to Wucheng since junior high school. After living for so many years, how could it be fake?"

I stared at her and said, "I suspect you are fake."

She was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Sir, can you get out of the way? It's time for me to suck the ground..."

I made a way out, she walked past me, then picked up the vacuum cleaner, turned it to the maximum gear, and started to suck the ground. The room was filled with noise from the vacuum cleaner: "Woo--"

It can be seen that she didn't want to talk to me anymore, she just wanted to finish the hygiene quickly and leave.

I refused to give in: "You don't know you are fake! You thought you were Xiao Huang, you thought you were working in this resort, but in fact, your body, your feelings, your memories, your dreams, and your life are all fake!"

She turned off the vacuum cleaner and the room suddenly became quiet. She looked at me and said something that surprised me very much: "Since I have a body, a feeling, a memory, a dream, and a life, then I am real."

I couldn't remember how to refute her. She had put away the vacuum cleaner, rag and garbage bag and hurried out of my room.

After the door was closed, I was confused again - am I still normal?

I sat on the sofa and asked myself: What is the equivalent of three minus one?

I answered in my heart: 2!

Is three minus one equal to two?

I calculated with my fingers, that's right, it's equal to two!

It seems that I'm not crazy.

Soon, I was no longer confident. An adult might ask himself if three minus one minus one is equal to?
