Familiar, but strange.

This is the first time Zhou Chu felt when he woke up and saw his room.

I am familiar with it because this is where he lives day and night. Since graduation, he has been living here, but it is because, after completing the bidding meeting and entering Silent Hill, it seems that he has spent a long time, so long that he feels strange to everything in reality.

He looked up at the calendar and said that on October 29th, he had been in the Silent Hill world for seventeen days.

Zhou Chu sat there for a while, and then determined the first thing he had to do after returning to reality.

Turn on your phone.

After so long, his phone had already turned off due to exhaustion of battery. Fortunately, he had thought of this in advance and prepared in advance, so he just turned over and got out of bed cleanly and found a backup battery that had been charged.

While doing this process, the trace of water blue on Zhou Chu's hand flashed with a light, a translucent light blue girl appeared in Zhou Chu's room.

A white and smooth face, beautiful and slender eyelashes, light brown pupils, and slightly curly brown hair. If it weren't for a slight translucent, wherever this girl stood, people would think that this was a realistic and exquisite, charming doll.

Alesa.

Zhou Chu just glanced at her, but ignored her. Instead, he found the battery, installed it on his phone, and then turned it on.

Sure enough, a series of missed calls and text messages.

Zhou Chu glanced at him quickly. Most of them were from Oucheng, and only a few of them were from Gao Ming, Gu Chaoxi and Mingling, but there was a text message that stopped his gaze for a moment.

Qin Qing's.

[I like the flowers very much. Thank you. What have you been busy with recently? Pay attention to your health.]

Then Zhou Chu became silent.

Silence is not because he saw this text message, but because he had any emotions. Silence is because he was thinking. At this time, he saw such a text message. What kind of emotions and reactions should be there.

Should be happy...and then excitement? Then is nervous, or carefully organize the wording, go back, and then look forward to being replyed?

No. This is for secret love and unrequited love partner. They are couples. At least now, they have always been.

That should be the relief and feeling of joy after repairing the relationship, and the feeling of wanting to smile? At the same time, with missing and thinking about her, I went back to the past to care about the other person, and to see if I could come out for a meal to further repair the relationship?

That should be true.

However, he had no emotions, just looking at the text message calmly, he knew that he still loved Qin Qing, but his feelings existed, but there was no emotion.

So he gave up thinking and imitating the emotions and reactions he should have under normal circumstances, and simply replied to a message.

【Just like it. I'm fine, you should also pay attention to your health.】

Then he turned the message on his phone over a page. For him, who can't feel any emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, Qin Qing's text messages are no different from those of others, so he continued to look at other text messages.

He ignored Oucheng's text messages for the time being, because he knew Oucheng would definitely ask where he died again, and he had no way to give him an answer, so he skipped and said.

So Xie Zhenfei's text message came.

[If you have time, please reply to a text message. My master contacted me and I will take you there if I take time.]

Xie Zhenfei's master, the master of national martial arts? Zhou Chu tilted his head and quickly analyzed in his mind whether he still needed to visit this master of national martial arts. Then he concluded that he should go there.

Although I now don’t need to practice any fighting skills and national skills in the nightmare world, if I can get systematically exposed to these skills, it will be of some help. In reality, the abilities obtained in the nightmare world are almost completely suppressed and weakened. As an ordinary person who is only a relatively strong body, I still need some necessary self-defense skills. From the perspective of human relationships, I have asked Xie Zhenfei, so the other party has found a promise. Even if I don’t learn, I still have to go there.

After analyzing all this, Zhou Chu replied with a text message.

【Saturday, I'll call you.】

Next was Gu Chaoxi's, and Gu Chaoxi had only one message.

[If you have time, come to your house for a meal. Gu Tong has been thinking about seeing you. In addition, before the holiday is over, let’s talk about the follow-up of the expo.]

Zhou Chu was still prescient in the past and invited a twenty-day holiday with Gu Chaoxi, and vaguely revealed that he might resign. Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything at that time. After all, he recruited Zhou Chu in just to win this bidding meeting, so she didn't think about anything about what happened next.

And now, in addition to wanting to thank Zhou Chu for saving her daughter's life, we also want to confirm Zhou Chu's next plan.

It's time to leave.

What happened in Silent Hill made him confirm that for now, it was impossible for him to live a nine-to-five day, and he might be summoned to the nightmare world anytime and anywhere. Before, he still insisted on going to Shengtian, but he was just himself, who wanted to live according to Qin Qing's ideas and prove himself.

Now, I don’t feel that way and I can’t feel any emotions. Then, naturally, I will choose the best and most beneficial choices for me at present.

So he also replied to Gu Chaoxi.

[Sorry, Mr. Gu, I just saw it now. After the holiday is over, I will come to your office to discuss with you in detail.]

After replying to Gu Chaoxi's message, Zhou Chu opened the information about Gao Ming and Mingling. Mingling's message was still as usual, her unique style.

[If you don’t reply to my text message ten minutes later, you will be dead.]

【You are dead.】

[Okay, I know you are in the Silent Hill, so, after you die, reply to me!]

As for now, there is no need to reply. So Zhou Chu skipped directly and opened Gao Ming's text message group.

[Troubled, I missed your phone calls and text messages several times in a row, and I am now in the alien world. I am so busy.]

[Silent Hill World. I have not experienced it, but almost every awakened person has to experience a world about human nature or face himself. Although I don’t know why, I think it is very necessary. It is just for you. I believe you will be the last survivor, the one who is determined.]

The will is firm... so firm that he destroyed and lost all his emotions. Zhou Chu felt that he should have a bitter smile that mocked him now, but he still did not have such feelings and emotions. He was very calm, so there was no need to show a fake smile that mocked him in order to cooperate with this.

[When I came out, I contacted me. It’s time for the Nether Team to act together. Recently, there seems to be a world and things that all three major groups of Dream Breakers are interested in. I plan to go in and get a share of the pie.]

Zhou Chu read the date of the last text message. Five days ago, no wonder he couldn't see it when he returned to the shelter. He probably had entered that world and just turned back and entered it himself. After all, in the Silent Hill world, Zhou Chu did see that fighting alone is far less effective and safe than a team that works together.

So he replied with a text message.

【Tell me what world, how to connect, and then arrive.】

After replying to this message, Zhou Chu threw his phone aside, then looked at the spirit body Alesha who was looking around and touching around, but did not intend to talk to her, but closed her eyes.

After closing his eyes, all the things to be done and to be processed in his mind became symbols and words, floating in the dark sea of ​​consciousness, and then his brain began to think and operate. The time, importance, order of each thing, and everything was within his thinking and calculation. Then the symbols and words that were circling and rotating quickly, at the beginning were chaotic and floating everywhere, gradually became clear and arranged on the lines, and finally formed an orderly time line.

This is pure reason, without any influence of emotion or emotion, and after calculation and analysis, it is based on all the resources you have, your understanding of the world, your understanding of the nightmare world, and your own optimization plan.

And the two keywords in the first plan in my mind are Xia Xiao and the Black Knights.

After sorting out everything and what to do, Zhou Chu stood up and called Xia Xiao.

"Are you back?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Xia Xiao's intimate voice came from the other end, but he was not surprised or otherwise, as if he knew that Zhou Chu would definitely be able to return safely from the Silent Hill world.

"Yeah. I have something to come to you."

"What's the matter? Say it, as long as you want it, as long as I have it." Xia Xiao expressed everything she wanted to say in this sentence.

"In reality, I haven't thought about it for the time being, and I will decide later. There is another one, I want to join the Black Knights."

The other end became silent, and after a moment, her voice came.

"Let's talk about it when we meet."

"Time, place."

"tonight?"

"Okay, where is the place?"

"Peninsula Villa? Where I live..." Xia Xiao's tone was a little hesitant, and he also had the intention of asking.

"The specific address, I call you when I get it."

"No. 1, Peninsula Villa Area, after 7 pm and before 8 pm."

"good."

"Are you sure, are you really going to come?"

"Um."

The other end was silent for a moment before saying, "Then I'll ask someone to prepare dinner, you can eat here."

"OK."

Zhou Chu hung up the phone. He could know and understand the purpose of Xia Xiao's series of tone and temptations on the phone. There was no doubt that he acted too unlike him, not like the one that Xia Xiao knew and familiar with. If Zhou Chu was in the past, he would not only not ask for anything from Xia Xiao, but would probably refuse Xia Xiao's request to invite him to the place where she lives. But now, he promised to be clean and neat, without thinking or any delay, so Xia Xiao was a little uncomfortable.

But this is himself now. He has no need to hide it, or he needs to react like Zhou Chu in the past.

I am me, still Zhou Chu, still myself, but I have no heart and no emotions.
Chapter completed!
