Including the time spent walking around the amusement park and the time spent at the cold drink shop to enjoy matcha parfait ice cream, the two of them spent a total of half a morning in the amusement park.

It was a rare opportunity to come here, so the two of them naturally did not stop and started looking for the next attraction they were interested in. During this day, Shiina Riki and Kaname Rakuna tried many different other rides in the amusement park.

For example, the "Western Cowboy Carousel" requires people to ride on a wooden horse that is more bumpy than an ordinary carousel, holding toy pistols and shooting at each other, making people feel as if they are in the Wild West of the old times.

"A real pirate ship with cannons." The pirate ship swayed in the air, as if it was really riding the wind and waves. On both sides of the pirate ship facility, there were cannons that could fire fireworks for tourists to use. Every firing attracted cheers from tourists.

"DIY Weapon Factory", a handmade DIY area where visitors can design and make their own "weapons" such as foam swords, cardboard guns or water guns.

Of course, the so-called "weapons" that can be assembled here are just harmless toys, but they can also allow people to experience the joy of creation.

In addition to these amusement projects that always deliberately add various "weapon" elements, the two also found a small garden in this amusement park. The garden was full of various flowers and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

The entrance sign to this small garden is marked "Peace Garden".

The gardens feature fountains, sculptures and seating areas.

There is an interactive installation in the garden where visitors can put toy guns into the slots of the "Peace Box". The fountain next to it will trigger a fountain show and music when the slots are filled.

There are many cartoon animal sculptures in this garden, and visitors can take photos with them.

Shiina Riki also took a lot of photos of himself and Lena next to these sculptures.

Shiina Tatsuki’s favorite thing is taking photos with the panda sculpture.

But Lenai prefers the lifelike tabby cat.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 192: Reply to friends' messages promptly

Just after Shiina Ritsuki and Kaname Rana left the so-called "Peace Garden", Shiina Ritsuki saw in the group chat of the five-member Lost Team that Chihaya Aine was concerned about the situation of herself and Rana.

In the group chat, Aine was curious about whether the two of them had a good time at the amusement park. After all, Chihaya Aine had never been to this amusement park, which was said to be the most famous and largest in New Tokyo.

Of course, as the person in the team who likes to speak or send emojis in group chats the most, even if she puts aside her curiosity about the amusement park, Aiyin will often chat in the group.

"Lena, let's report our safety to our companions, and take a picture together to show that guy Aine." Shiina Riki looked at the series of messages sent by Aine in the group and couldn't help but smile.

"That guy from the provincial government always says that we are unromantic." Shiina Riki said self-deprecatingly.

Compared to Chihaya Aine, who is good at chasing fashion topics and has run a not very successful clothing company, Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna can indeed be said to live a simple and plain life and have nothing special in adapting to the development of various times.

It's not so bad to have Lenai, at least she's relatively young, and she has a good sense of fashion. She doesn't need to chase fashion trends to put together an eye-catching outfit.

Aine usually shows off her life style in this way and rarely plays such little jokes with Lena.

It's mainly directed at Li Xi.

After all, Riki's taste in choosing clothes is really too simple. Apart from Hanasakigawa's school uniform, he basically wears a white shirt with a dark base shirt inside, and a solid denim skirt. This is in sharp contrast to Aine who likes to change into a different style of clothes every day.

The clothes are actually okay. After all, when the five members of the Lost Group are actually fighting, they basically have to wear more professional and reliable combat uniforms, which have basically nothing to do with the so-called "fashion".

What Chihaya Aine often mentioned to the two of them was actually the feeling of enjoying life freely and comfortably "like a high school girl", which was more in line with her age.

After all, Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna basically don't have any special entertainment activities to relax themselves in their spare time.

It can be said that the time spent training in RING's training ground occupies most of the two people's free time.

This is not to say that there is anything wrong with this, but after all, the physical fitness and mental power that these two people can effectively improve through training are currently basically in a bottleneck state.

During their daily discussions about combat, the five of them basically confirmed with each other that the five members of the Lost Group were in a state where they had basically no room to improve their abilities through training.

Because of this, while ensuring basic training to maintain her own condition, Chihaya Aine tends to advise her teammates to relax a little.

In fact, this trip to this famous amusement park in New Tokyo was also planned by Li Xi based on Aine's suggestions.

After all, Lixi herself had never been to such a place, and she wouldn't suddenly come up with such an idea.

The main reason for this trip to the amusement park was that when Shiina Riki was with Lenae in the training ground, he felt that Lenae was determined to rely on overly heavy training programs to suppress the anxiety and resentment in her heart.

After that, Li Xi had a small discussion about this matter with other teammates without letting Lenai know.

In the end, Chihaya Aine suggested going to the amusement park to experience the fulfilling life that a youthful high school girl should have.

Moreover, in the end, the few of them decided that Li Xi, who had the closest relationship with Lenai and had known Lenai for the longest time in the team, would accompany Lenai to the amusement park alone.

As for why there aren't more people coming...this is mainly because it's easier for two people to open up to each other when traveling together.

Many times, even if the companions playing together are a gang community that has experienced life and death battles and all kinds of hardships together, it is not suitable for the entire team to be together at this time - not to mention that Su Shi has been quite busy recently.

Going to the amusement park to relax and free Lenai from the grueling training that was her grandmother's preoccupation...

It would be best if Riki could spend one-on-one time with Lenai like now.

This kind of situation where you are surrounded by strangers in an amusement park and only have one familiar companion is the best time to build closer relationships and resolve conflicts.

The best person to accompany Lenae is naturally Tatsuki Shiina, who is most familiar with her.

In fact, there is another important aspect, that is, if Takamatsu Deng also participated in this amusement park trip, Li Xi's emotional investment in Lenai would probably be slightly weakened during this trip.

This is also a reflection of the differences in relationships between different companions in the team.

In the end, under the suggestion of Chihaya Aine, Shiina Riki and Kaname Rakuna embarked on this journey to the amusement park to enjoy their leisure time.

Of course, Chihaya Aine, who stayed in the RING conference room, the gathering place of the Lost Group, to experience the new virtual reality equipment and play the full immersion game with Takamatsu Deng, did not forget to express her concern for the two people who came to the amusement park in the chat group.

"Li Xi, Lenai, did you have fun in the Gunfire Paradise? Remember to bring some souvenirs for me, Deng Deng, and Su Shi!"

While expressing her concern, Aine had already started shamelessly asking for souvenirs.

"Tsk." Looking at Aine's behavior, Shiina Riki couldn't help but click his tongue.

However, even if the other party is playing tricks in this concern, this concern for the two people's trip is definitely not fake.

Therefore, Shiina Riki immediately replied: "The amusement park is pretty good. As for the souvenirs, of course, you don't need to say more. I will definitely buy them for you."

After typing this line of words and sending it to the group chat of the Lost Children group, Shiina Riki looked at Kaname Rakuna.

"Stray cat, can you reply too?" Shiina Riki said to Kaname Lenai.

“……?” Yao Lenai tilted her head, as if asking: Does she want one too?

"Of course." Shiina Riki understood what Yao Lenai meant and said decisively without hesitation.

"It's very sad if you don't respond to people in time when they care about you. We are partners fighting side by side, so we should do so even more."

After hearing this, Kaname Rakuna nodded and handed the phone to Shiina Riki.

"Li Xi, teach me how to type."

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 193: Social Talk in the Internet Age

After Chihaya Aine sent messages expressing her concern to Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rana, Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rana responded to the concern and expressed that they had a lot of fun playing in the amusement park.

Then in the group chat of the Lost Children group, Takamatsu Deng expressed his gratitude to Riki and Lena for helping to carry the special souvenirs from Gunfire Park in the amusement park.

After all, compared to Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Touma is indeed the one who loves and cares the most about such small souvenir items that are suitable for collection.

These things can well satisfy Ichiban Takamatsu's mild hoarding habit.

If Li Xi and Lenai buy a lot of things in Gunfire Paradise, Takamatsu Deng's collection will be expanded.

Based on this behavior, we can call these words in the group chat and the promise to bring small gifts such as souvenirs: relationship maintenance behavior.

These so-called relationship maintenance behaviors refer to strategies that consolidate or strengthen interpersonal relationships through proactive communication, and are common in close relationships or friendships.

Even in a close relationship like the five members of the Lost Group who have experienced real battles and shed blood together, this kind of interaction that maintains the common emotions among the five is indispensable.

As for Shiina Riki's previous request that Lenai reply to messages with him, it was more in line with the social communication within a closely connected team.

This is to shape empathy confirmation through language communication and establish emotional resonance by confirming the other person's emotional state. It belongs to the "emotional radar" model in emotional and rational communication.

This kind of interactive communication has its own value: this type of inquiry is essentially sending a signal that "I am receiving your emotional frequency", which is to achieve a deeper emotional connection when people share interesting things.

At the same time, communicating with close friends in group chats is also a manifestation of the new etiquette of the digital age.

In traditional contexts, it is basic etiquette to respond promptly when others bring up a topic.

But in the asynchronous social environment on the Internet, Chihaya Aine's initiative to care about her teammates enjoying their leisure time outside is in line with the social norms of the Internet age.

Of course, from this point of view, Shiina Riki's response to Chihaya Aine's greeting this time is also quite good.

On the one hand, Lixi can respond to the care and concern of his peers very promptly, breaking through the social inertia of "reading but not replying".

At this point, the more important thing that Li Xi did was to urge Kaname, who was not good at using electronic products, to respond to Aine's concern with him in a timely and joint manner.

In this conversation, the scene chosen by Chihaya Aine, Shiina e〖陾冥拔五另九三?`琉(九a)〣群撩_+Riki and Takamatsu Dengyao Rakuna actually also has scene sensitivity:

The four people chose group chat instead of private chat, which not only respected the players' current immersive experience but also kept the group information transparent.

At the same time, the four of them did not forget that while the four companions in the Lost Group were enjoying different funs in their spare time, there was actually one person in the Lost Group who was currently busy with gang affairs.

Therefore, the four people cannot communicate about this kind of leisure activity in private chat. This is to allow Nagasaki Suyo, who is focused on the investigation and sorting work, to quickly join the discussion of the remaining four people without any misunderstanding cost after completing the work at hand.

Of course, on the other hand, during the communication among the four people, Lixi and Lenai also expressed that when carrying commemorative gifts, they would not miss any companion who did not come to this gunfire paradise.

Then, these friends who were able to free up because Su Shi took on the clerical work regarding the direction of the gang investigation would certainly not forget to express their condolences to Su Shi who was busy with his work.

"How's Su Shi doing over there?"

And "How about the five of us go out for dinner together tonight? Deng Deng and I will treat you!"

The address of the selected restaurant is also included.

The above is the invitation that Chihaya Aine sent out at the same time to get the five members of the Lost Group together again today.

The five members of the Lost Group had different entertainment activities and work arrangements today, so they separated during this time when they had some free time.

It is at this time that we should make an appointment to have a meal together and bring the five separated people together again.

Moreover, since Tatsuki Shiina and Rana Kaname, who went to the amusement park, had already promised to bring some commemorative and valuable amusement park gifts for the remaining people.

Then, Takamatsu Touma and Chihaya Aine, who have been staying in the RING conference room for a whole day, can return the favor out of courtesy and thoughtfulness by paying for the meal for the five people.

As for Nagasaki Suyo, who completed the gang's joint work today, of course, after finishing a day's work, she can not only accept the amusement park souvenirs given by the amusement park duo.

You can also enjoy a meal with your friends after a hard day.

This certainly does not mean that Nagasaki Suyo lacks the financial resources to buy these small gifts, or that Nagasaki Suyo needs to rely on her teammates to have a sumptuous and delicious dinner.

This gift, which can be enjoyed "for free" after completing the work in the Su world, is a simple compensation from the other two groups to the only partner who is still busy in the team today.

At the same time, it also conveys a self-evident attitude to Su Shi:

We are on the same team and will not forget Su Shi, a busy person, after enjoying a day of leisure.

This kind of tacit care is the symbol of the unity of the Lost Children Group.

After Aine took the initiative to invite everyone to have dinner together at a restaurant this evening.

In the group chat, Tatsuki Shiina, Touma Takamatsu, and Rakuna Kaname also responded to Aine's invitation to dinner in a short time.

Then, after a period of time, Nagasaki Motoyo also replied to Chihaya Aine.

"I have almost completed the investigation of those companies.

"I'll drive to RING to pick you up when it's about time."

As for Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna, they were at the amusement park, closer to the restaurant chosen by Aine, so they didn't need to take the car driven by Nagasaki Motoyo.

This is how a harmonious online communication environment was created in the group chat of the five lost members.

The thoughts between each other quietly converged in the transmission of information on the Internet, forming an invisible emotional bond.

New Beijing Elegy: Chapter 194: Fear

Hachiman Kailing once again walked into the complex underground passage and came to this laboratory located underground.

After passing a series of iris and fingerprint verifications, the automatic door in front of me slowly opened.

Before Hachiman Kailing walked into the door, she felt a tingling electric sensation spread throughout her body.

"Hmm..." Hachiman Kailing felt the majestic and surging power of the mind enveloping her.

As soon as Hachiman Kailing entered the building, she was "attacked" by this electromagnetic force...

In other words, this behavior cannot be called an "attack". In fact, it is a "confirmation" of Hachiman Kailing's status.

However, because the other party's mental image power is too strong, this simple act of confirming the situation seems a bit rough.

Of course, this "safety check" that made people feel as if they were in the midst of a frantic and exciting electric current surge also ended very quickly.

And, Hachiman Kailing once again heard the lady's voice, which had become increasingly noble and majestic recently, accompanied by the sound of electricity.
