Chapter 127 Suspicion #

Qi Min was diligent and diligent for only two minutes. After eating dinner, he went back to the brain-like body in the house.

While she was connecting the interface, she was still thinking that she had finally waited until the old couple went on a trip before she could lie down on the sofa in the living room and enter the brain-like body. Unexpectedly, within a week, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang came back again. In order not to be "disliked" by others, she had to go back to the house to play by herself.

Anton finished his meal and threw the dishes into the dishwasher. Just as he was about to tell Qi Min about Mimi's parent-teacher meeting, when he returned home, he saw that she was already lying on the desk and entering the virtual world. I had no choice but to connect to the interface myself, first enter the constructor mode to find the location of Qiu Harvest, and then retreat to the identity of Jintian and find Qiu Harvest in Baihua Street.

Baihua Street is an early commercial street in Beijing District, with a shape similar to Qianmen Street. When the early brain-like body companies were still short of money, they built this project to attract investment. At that time, brainoids were seen as a supplement to some kind of VR-style Internet. Many brands came here not for profit, but just for advertising. However, now this place has become a place that can compete with the commercial streets in the real world. The land rent has also increased. Many of the brands that originally stayed there can no longer survive. On the contrary, food shops can make profits here.

In fact, it is easy to understand that the premium of goods sold by ordinary brands comes from scarcity to some extent. Scarcity is not guaranteed in brainoids, and buyers are not too keen on it. On the contrary, food that essentially buys experience can find a sufficient audience - after all, what the brain body itself sells is experience.

Autumn Harvest was eating rum cherry flavored Madier ice cream when he looked up and saw Kaneda rushing towards him.

"Give you one?" Qiu Shou asked with a smile.

"No need." Kaneda looked helpless, "Why did you come back to play again? Do you know about Mimi's parent-teacher meeting today?"

"Well, parent-teacher meeting?" Qiu Shuang swallowed the mouthful of ice cream, "Didn't you agree not to go?"

"You won't go, but your parents will." Kaneda said helplessly in a mocking tone, "Why don't you care at all?"

Qiu Shuo took another bite of the ice cream, but couldn't help but frown: "That's what Mimi told them, right?"

"Otherwise?" Kaneda said, "What's wrong with this child... But we have to blame us for this. We didn't explain clearly to Mimi before why we didn't go to the parent-teacher meeting."

Qi Min really didn't want to think after hearing this. In fact, she didn't know if it was a good idea for Mimi to go to the school she went to. Mimi is a huge hidden danger to the brain-like body. Although she feels that she cannot deprive her daughter of the freedom to enjoy the same entertainment as her peers, she really does not want her to enter the brain-like body again. In the past, Qi Min thought that going to the same physical school as when she was young was a kind of "idyllic" life, but now it seems that this has provided her daughter with the opportunity to fall in love early.

"Then let's explain it now?" Qiu Shou asked.

"I don't know, but I always feel that Mimi doesn't want us to take care of her now." Kaneda said with some worry.

Qiu Shuo patted his shoulder: "Hey, relax. It's like this in adolescence. You just don't want your parents to control it. Mimi is not a little girl anymore. Maybe she will be happier if her parents don't go to the parent-teacher conference."

Kaneda glanced at her helplessly, but then said, "What if Mimi falls in love prematurely?"

"No, since you are so suspicious, there is no point in telling me." Qiu Shou said, "Next time Mimi goes out alone, just follow her and have a look."

"Isn't this bad?" Kaneda hesitated.

"Damn, stop pretending, okay? You've followed me before." Qiu Shou said angrily.

"Can that be the same?" Kaneda said decisively, "You have many suspicions of cheating..."

"How can you taint someone's innocence out of thin air?" Qiu Shuang immediately asked Kong Yiji, "Can the affairs of a scholar be considered cheating?"

After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and added: "Even if you don't study, it has nothing to do with cheating."

Fortunately, Anton didn't go to junior high school in China, so he doesn't have such deep memories of "Kong Yiji". But Qi Min was also wronged. She and Zhang Songxue had some good feelings at best, and she and Yelena were really pure friends. The person who almost cheated on her was Du Yalin, who no one else would have expected. But even Du Yalin decisively refused. How could a determined person like her be so suspicious?

"Anyway, it would be embarrassing if Mimi found out." Kaneda said.

"What's wrong with recognizing her? Admit it." Qiu Shou said, "We are Mimi's parents and have the obligation to care about her love life. Didn't my parents follow her back then? How dare I say no?"

Anton felt sick after hearing this. It was thanks to the good nature of Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang that they cared so much about her, a girl who was too lazy to explain her life events to her parents. If his daughter was so stubborn, he would have lost his patience - but luckily Mimi was much more "normal" than her mother.

"Oh, okay, okay." Kaneda sighed, "What's the matter, are you planning to relax here for a while today instead of earning points?"

"I asked Echishi to find the merchant who sells personal information." Qiu Shuo said lazily, "He still can't find it for a while. There is nothing to do during this period."

"Oh? What if someone else surpasses your ranking again?" Kaneda raised his eyebrows.

"That's just right. I'll use another person to torture you." Qiu Shuo said with great interest.

"Hey, what did you do to Echiyo?" Kaneda couldn't help but ask, "Why is he so convinced of you all of a sudden?"

Qiu Shou looked at the flow of people coming and going on Baihua Street and said to Jintian: "I'll tell you offline."

——

"So...Wang Mingqing is...dead?!" After hearing this, Anton still couldn't believe this fact.

"Dead." Qi Min nodded, "In other words, his physical body is dead, but his consciousness is still in the brain-like body - of course, the brain-like body is essentially a consciousness storage, and it is not unusual to have this function. .”

"Then...so he can never go offline again?" Anton also felt a little scared because of his ability to empathize beyond ordinary people. "It's equivalent to being in a brain-like body and always in a single waking state?"

Qi Min didn't expect him to consider it from this perspective, but still said: "Probably so. But I have seen him sleeping - sleep is also an experience. You can enter the sleep state in the brain-like body, but it has no effect. But you don’t feel tired in a brain-like body, and you don’t need to have an effect.”

"Then his remains..." Anton asked again.

"I went to help him collect the body, that's why he was so convinced." Qi Min explained lightly, not intending to tell him that he showed Wang Mingqing the scene during the collection of the body that looked like a horror movie.

But Anton's focus is not here yet: "Well...what will we do in the future if he is in a situation like this?"

Qi Min hesitated for a moment, but still said: "There is nothing we can do now, and not many people know that there is such a thing. In St. Petersburg, this kind of living dead are called 'dead souls', which are donated by public welfare organizations." The money is just used to maintain their existence.”
