“When I first contacted Professor Mo, he told me to prepare a story before the symposium.”

Lu Jinxi obviously lost his appetite after talking about this. He put down his chopsticks before continuing:

"I didn't really understand what the so-called 'story' meant at the time..."

On the other hand, Gao Yi, who has just the right appetite, can't control so much.

I got two more chopsticks of meat, wrapped them in chopped green onions, dipped them in the oil dish, and put them in my mouth.

The spiciness and numbness brought by the red soup pot are slightly balanced by the oil dish, leaving only an endless aroma when it enters the mouth.

It’s so delicious, I just have to have hot pot like this in winter...

Fortunately, the uncle "Yin San" character wears sunglasses, otherwise Gao Yi would really worry about his expression management and problems.

While enjoying the delicious food at one end of the square table, Lu Jinxi at the other end was recalling a painful experience.

The location of the "symposium" was an old residential building, which seemed to be the family building of a state-owned enterprise in the last century.

But now, with the advent of "living like this for thirty years until the building collapses", the once enviable residence has become dilapidated.

The elderly have moved away or even died one after another, and young people rarely live in such places. There are only a few tenants and descendants of employees who have inherited the old houses.

There are very few people left who have actually lived here decades ago.

"Professor Mo" is one of them.

When Lu Jinxi followed the address on the email and knocked on the door on the top floor, a kind-faced old lady opened the rusty iron door with outdated Spring Festival couplets on it.

"I initially suspected that I was looking in the wrong place, but after talking with her, I realized that she was 'Professor Mo'."

It's also due to the influence of stereotypes. Lu Jinxi looked at the various "cruel" and "dark" descriptions of 'Professor Mo' on the forum, and never thought that the other party would be an old lady - she was also quite kind. old lady.

He is over sixty years old, with a slight hunchback, wrinkles and gray hair unavoidable, but he obviously pays attention to taking care of his appearance, and he looks quite energetic.

Of course, this should also be related to the increase in evolution rate after becoming a player.

Although there is still a lack of time to test, most people believe that the enhanced body after becoming a player will inevitably lead to longevity.

At the very least, the "Professor Mo" who is in his sixties and is still fighting on the front line with great reputation should be good evidence...

"Come in and sit down first... There's no need to change your shoes. I'll just mop the floor tomorrow."

Lu Jinxi, who arrived earlier, was introduced to the house by Professor Mo with a smile and sat down on the old sofa in the living room.

The furniture, electrical appliances and even the photos on the wall are full of traces of time, as if they have been stuck in the last century forever.

In front of the TV in the living room, four seven or eight-year-old children were sitting together, chattering and making simple drawings with crayons.

They looked up at the new guests together, then lowered their heads in unison and began to continue painting.

Professor Mo brought out two plates of fruit from the kitchen and explained to Lu Jinxi with a smile:

"They are all the children of nearby tenants. The adults are usually busy at work, so I help take care of them. They will leave soon..."

After leaving a plate of apples on the coffee table, Professor Mo squatted next to the children, smiled and began to praise their paintings.

"It's so beautiful. What is this painting?" "It's so beautiful. Come on, grandma, help you write your name here..." "Sign your paper? Hmm... .This is not possible, but I can help you talk to your father..."

After touching the children's heads, "Professor Mo", who was obviously loved by them, also showed a comfortable smile.

Looking at this scene, Lu Jinxi felt a strong sense of unreality.

In the "Professor Mo" in front of him, he not only did not feel the throbbing in his heart when facing the player, but also did not see the bloody tattoo on his wrist.

But even if they are just in the same room together, Lu Jinxi can feel the strength of the other person - beyond imagination...

"So, who is that 'Professor Mo'?"

Although he already had a guess in his mind, Gao Yi decided to let the other party explain.

As expected, Lu Jinxi also did enough research after that.

He bit his lower lip, his nervousness more obvious than before:

"She should be a so-called 'outer god', similar to some people in the 'Nankang City Investigation Bureau'. She is not a so-called favored one, but she did receive some kind of favor..."

The explanation was given in no uncertain terms, and it seemed that this "knowledgeable person" had really put in the effort to study it.

According to his description, the situation of "Professor Mo" should be the same as that of the "leader" who was killed by Gao Yi in the "Nankang Evening News Building" and the situation of Ma Jianai from the "Investigation Bureau".

Obtained certain abilities of the "Outer God" and served them as non-player assistants.

This kind of "efficiency" takes many forms, ranging from simply completing tasks to helping to establish organizations and hold ceremonies...

Thinking of this, Gao Yi suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked rather eagerly:

"What happened to the four children? Are they okay?"

This question obviously exceeded Lu Jinxi's expectations.

He was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin, recalled and replied:

"Uh...it's nothing. They were picked up by their parents about ten minutes later...what's wrong?"

"Oh...it's nothing, I just remembered something else."

Realizing that he had just been slightly excited, Gao Yi picked up his chopsticks again and waved casually.

It's not surprising that he thought too much, after all, the "leader" who wanted to hold a certain ceremony used sacrifices in groups of four.

Gao Yike still remembers the "Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting", "Tall, Short, Fat and Thin", "Plum Blossoms, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" who almost became dead souls...

No, it seems that the four people playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are ghosts...

In any case, after confirming that "Professor Mo" was also an "outer god", Gao Yi instantly connected the two, and some bad pictures appeared in his mind.

But according to what Lu Jinxi said, it seemed that the kind-hearted old lady was really just taking care of other people's children.

It is true that the "outer god" whose true identity is still unknown is still a mysterious existence.

You cannot use what you saw and heard once or twice to imagine the actions of the other helpers.

In the end, Gao Yi decided to calm down and listen to Lu Jinxi on the other side explain what exactly happened at that "symposium".
