Chapter 237 Her Thoughts
Although he knew that Sheng Yegui and Sheng Guiye had different personalities, he knew that they were essentially the same person. Whenever he heard Sheng Yegui speak, Qiao Yuan always felt like he was listening to Sheng Guiye's inner voice.
After realizing this, Qiao Yuan felt a little amused.
After Song Yanchi and others came out, Sister Jiang had also received the news and rushed to the scene.
Qiao Yuan then parted ways with the others and got into the car with Jiang Jie. Jiang Jie learned about Qiao Yuan's disappearance from the program crew not long after she disappeared, but she was too busy to explain to the company and conceal the news from the media to avoid causing panic among fans. She was even thinking about whether to find a master to calculate her whereabouts.
However, she was always concerned about Qiao Yuan's safety. It was not until she heard that he was finally found that she hurriedly drove over with her driver and assistant.
After Qiao Yuan got in the car, she first asked if he had any other health problems. After learning that Qiao Yuan was fine, she turned to ask Qiao Yuan what happened.
Qiao Yuan repeated what he told the police in front of Sister Jiang.
Sister Jiang's attention had long been focused on the word "ghost". If it were before, she would definitely not believe in the existence of ghosts, but this time she was not sure.
Sister Jiang : "Forget it, then don't think about it for now."
"As for the news of your disappearance, the program team and the company are suppressing the matter, so it hasn't spread online yet. You don't have to worry about the online public opinion. The program team has also temporarily issued a notice to delay the broadcast. We'll see what happens later."
"Originally, you could have taken a two-day break after filming the variety show before returning to the crew. But because you disappeared before, I used the excuse that you were sick to temporarily cover it up and asked for a few days off for you and the crew. Now that you're back, you can take another day off..."
Qiao Yuan had no objection to this. She was nervous until the last second of completing the task. And she just learned a lot from Yu Guo, so she needed time to sort it out.
Although I can only rest for one more day, it's better than nothing.
Sister Jiang left only after sending Qiao Yuan home.
Although it is not the usual time for Qiao Yuan to go to bed, considering that he had stayed up all night in the real world before, Qiao Yuan decided to take a nap first.
After waking up, Qiao Yuan began to organize the clues he had obtained so far.
But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out what Gu Yan saw at that time. She could only wait for an opportunity to ask the other party in person.
And right now, there is another very important thing for Qiao Yuan——
The game enters the real world.
Although the system stated that it was only local and temporary, many uneasy and doubtful voices were heard in the forum.
After a day's rest, Qiao Yuan was quickly brought back to the crew by Sister Jiang.
This was the role she got through an audition some time ago, and it was also the first female lead in her life.
Because they joined the crew later than scheduled, Qiao Yuan specially ordered three meals a day for the entire crew, and then plunged into the busy filming.
Fortunately, she joined the crew only two days later than usual, and her acting was almost all done in one take, so she quickly caught up with the original shooting schedule. Some people in the crew who had previously complained about her late joining the crew also let go of their grudges against Qiao Yuan.
It was no secret that Qiao Yuan had previously participated in "Adventurer", so some staff members curiously asked about the situation on the variety show.
Qiao Yuan was prepared for this, after all, the variety show was scheduled to be broadcast next week, but it was suddenly announced to be stopped. Not only people in the real world, but also the Internet were talking about it. She also read a few comments online. Some people, whether they were viewers in the live broadcast room or staff members of the program team, used small accounts to comment, suggesting that something had happened in the program team, thus casting a veil of mystery over the matter.
However, Qiao Yuan had heard Sister Jiang say that the results were still under investigation. After all, the ghosts had been completely eliminated by them, so it was naturally difficult to find them again, but the bones of those who died were still there, which could prove their words.
Of course the program team cannot give up this program, but because they are still cooperating with the police investigation, they can only suspend it temporarily. It’s just that they don’t know when the results of the investigation will be released.
Qiao Yuan had already been told by Sister Jiang how to respond, so he just answered perfunctorily.
During the breaks in filming, Qiao Yuan seemed to be quietly resting aside, but in fact he was checking the forum messages through the system.
In the following period, Qiao Yuan saw many people in the forum being drawn into the game in the real world.
Judging from the coordinates provided by players in the forum, this has already affected many cities, and the forum has long been in an uproar:
——Now I am always trembling when I go downstairs to buy vegetables, for fear of encountering ghosts at the vegetable stall
——Me too. The worst thing was that I encountered a ghost when I was about to get off work on Friday. When I finally finished the task, I found that it was Monday and I had to go to work again. I had just seen the ghost and had to meet my boss.
——And most importantly, there was a certain time pattern when entering the dungeon before. Since the game and reality merged, it feels like there is no pattern at all. I am always notified to enter the game suddenly.
——Yes, yes, the game doesn't provide treatment now. A player I know died yesterday. I heard that he had completed the mission, but because he was torn off half of his leg by a ghost during the mission, he died of excessive blood loss not long after completing the mission.
——Is this a game bug, or will I have to live in fear like this from now on?
——I can’t imagine what it will be like if the world is filled with ghosts. This is probably just the beginning.
——I guess... no
- Don't say such unlucky words
——Wait, can I take this opportunity to leave the game?
…
Qiao Yuan read all these comments and couldn't help but frown. The impact of the fusion of games and reality is obviously huge, and this impact is still expanding.
And those who think that this is just the beginning are not exaggerating. After all, according to the system, the game has not responded yet, which makes Qiao Yuan suspect that the development of all this is also beyond the control of the game, and perhaps the game is now unable to take care of itself.
Now seems like a good opportunity to get out of the game, but what happens after that?
After all, if the game is truly completely integrated with the real world, then it would be useless even if you leave the game.
If only we could stop the game from merging with the real world...
Qiao Yuan couldn't help but think.
Just as she was thinking, Sister Jiang's voice rang out: "Today's lunch is here."
After hearing what Sister Jiang said, Qiao Yuan quickly came to his senses and his eyes fell on Sister Jiang's hands. She was indeed holding two exquisitely shaped boxes in her hands.
Qiao Yuan either eats the crew's boxed lunches or has her assistant order meals for her and Jiang Jie. Today, the assistant had to take an emergency leave, so only she and Jiang Jie had to eat, so the difficult choice fell on Jiang Jie.
However, the box in Sister Jiang's hand now looked neither like the lunch box she had ordered before nor like the packaging of any restaurant. It looked more like something she had made herself.
But based on her understanding of Sister Jiang, not to mention that she was not interested in cooking at all, Sister Jiang was by her side just now, so it was impossible for her to prepare the meal in such a short time.
Sister Jiang also noticed the confusion on Qiao Yuan's face, and said, "This was sent by President Sheng."
"You were busy filming these days and didn't have time to reply to messages, so Mr. Sheng added me and asked about your situation. I haven't mentioned it to you before. I heard that you have been eating less recently, so he came to deliver food just now."
Just as she was about to order food a few minutes ago, she received a call from Sheng Yegui, asking if she had time to come out. When she went out, she was greeted by two lunch boxes.
After thanking her, the other party left quickly without giving Sister Jiang a chance to return the favor.
However, what made Sister Jiang feel relieved was that Sheng Yegui left so quickly and did not bring a lunch box into the crew.
After all, Qiao Yuan's lunch break is limited. If Sheng Yegui goes in, Qiao Yuan will have to concentrate on dealing with it, which may affect the afternoon filming. Thinking of the previous rumors about the other party, she also feels quite pressured when she thinks about getting along with Sheng Yegui.
Sister Jiang: "At first I thought it was ordered from a high-end restaurant, but when I saw there was no restaurant name on the box, I felt it was not possible. It felt like he made it himself."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Sheng could actually cook. And I don't know if it's my illusion, but his temperament seems to be much gentler than before..."
Of course, after all, it is Sheng Yegui now.
Sheng Yegui finally came out, and it seemed that he didn't want to return his body to Sheng Guiye at this stage. However, he didn't want others to find out that he was abnormal, which would indirectly lead to Sheng Guiye's return, so he pretended to be silent when there were other people around.
In addition, in order to make time to participate in variety shows, Sheng Guiye had specially dealt with the backlog of affairs, so the company did not need to worry about Sheng Guiye, and he did not reveal the truth.
The other party also shared with Qiao Yuan his experience on how to play Sheng Guiye, but Qiao Yuan had no use for it. After taking a look at it, he threw it deep into his memory.
But after hearing what Sister Jiang said, Qiao Yuan also remembered that this was indeed the case. In addition to filming, she had been thinking about the game these days, so naturally she had little time to spend chatting. Unexpectedly, Sheng Yegui turned to Sister Jiang to ask about her situation.
Sheng Yegui and Sister Jiang both mentioned this matter, but Qiao Yuan's attention was not on it at the time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Sister Jiang put the lunch box on the table and said, "Boss Sheng left too quickly. I didn't have time to return it."
"Let's thank him on WeChat later."
Qiao Yuan also knew that Sheng Yegui had a stubborn side to his character, and now that he had put down the food and was leaving, it was obvious that he didn't want her to return it.
Sister Jiang: "Let's take a look at the food first. If it's not good, we still have time to order takeout."
Her worries were not groundless. After all, from her point of view, Sheng Yegui didn't seem to be able to cook.
However, Qiao Yuan was very confident in Sheng Yegui's cooking skills.
Although Sheng Guiye cooked the meal last time and it has been a long time, she still remembers the taste. Yu Guo must have felt the same way before, so she can't forget it.
According to Sheng Yegui, cooking is one of his hobbies, so Sheng Yegui's cooking should be even more delicious. She estimated the time and realized that Sheng Yegui's hand should be healed, so she immediately chose to cook.
Sister Jiang had already opened two boxes. Sheng Yegui did not disappoint Qiao Yuan's expectations. As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of food wafted out and filled the entire room.
The two boxes each contained six grids of food, each with a different dish that even avoided the two people's dietary taboos. Judging from the quantity, it was more than enough for Qiao Yuan and Jiang Jie to eat together.
Sister Jiang's pupils shrank.
She had been a manager for quite some time and had attended quite a few high-end banquets in the industry, but she had to admit that the food in front of her was more appetizing than anything she had seen in the past thirty or nearly forty years.
After Qiao Yuan handed her the chopsticks and asked her to taste it first, Sister Jiang couldn't help but wonder if this was really made by President Sheng.
Because the portion was large, the two of them did not finish it.
After dinner, Sister Jiang was packing up her lunch boxes and found several thermos cups at the bottom with notes on them. Some of them said they were tea, which could help relieve greasiness and fatigue after dinner. Others said they were pear juice, which could moisten the throat and was best drunk during breaks.
Sister Jiang was stunned for a rare moment: "This...has Mr. Sheng dated many people before?"
