In less than 2 minutes, the regional announcement sounded in the game lobby.

[Room 0157 first pass completed: first pass player Baili, first pass points****. 】

On the ranking list at the door of the room, Baili's ID finally appeared, ahead of Wen Jiu by a slight margin, temporarily occupying the No.0157 position in Room 11, District 1.

Wen Liangjiu didn't show much regret, he just leaned on the railing casually, watching the door of 0157 transform into a rectangular light curtain.

After finishing all the plots, Bai Litong walked out slowly from behind the light with his head lowered.

"Hey, boss, go slowly."

When He Ji saw it, he immediately struck up a conversation with a smile, "Why don't you keep a friend? Have a chance to have a room together again."

Bai Li was taken aback when he heard his voice, then suddenly raised his head to look around him, his gaze suddenly lit up when he touched Wen Jiu who was not offline yet.

Then he took two steps forward without hesitation, and said urgently, "I'll drive with you, drive, drive..."

Wen Liangjiu laughed suddenly, resisted the urge to slap him twice, and said unhurriedly, "Speak well."

"Open...once."

Bai Li was even more annoyed in his heart, he stopped talking briefly to adjust his breathing, and returned to a calm tone with no emotions.

"Open it again, this room."

His tone cooled down when he spoke, but he could still catch a bit of urgency when he listened carefully, "I'll give it back to you."

Wen Liangjiu deliberately asked, "What do you give me back?"

"Finally there."

Bai Li said, "You don't have to let me go."

The seriousness of the tone can be felt through the mask.

It turned out that the child hadn't reacted yet.

Wen Liangjiu wondered in his heart, it seemed inappropriate given his judging ability, but he found it more interesting because of it, and teased him a few more times before he couldn't help but ask, "Are you a bit stupid?"

Bai Li was taken aback, and the people next to him also laughed, "Our Ninth Master is not a kind person who sacrifices himself. It's just to get a point, so don't be polite to him."

"But it's true, the plot of the room this time is twists and turns, making it uncomfortable to play. If you don't feel satisfied, add a friend." He Ji suggested, "Meeting is fate. You two will be alone later. Open a room and fight, I still bet on you to win."

Bai Li didn't speak, his eyes were shrouded in gray.

[Safe Word: freak! 】

He looked up at Wen Liangjiu for the last time, and put his finger on the button to exit the game.

"Excuse me," Bailey said.

Wen Liangjiu frowned, and just about to speak, he heard the five o'clock bell echoing in his ears.

Baili's body scattered countless light spots, which quickly disappeared before his eyes.

Like Cinderella hastily escaping from a magical dream, there is no one in front of her eyes.The hand he raised unconsciously dropped back again.

"It's five o'clock? Then let's go to sleep too. Fortunately, the plot of this game is not long, otherwise we won't die suddenly after playing it."

He Ji rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Is there any class today? I seem to have forgotten whether it was morning or afternoon for two classes..."

Wen Liangjiu glanced at him suddenly, "Why do you talk so much?"

He Ji: "...Huh?"

Wen didn't say anything for a long time.He looked at the name ranked No.0157 on the points list at the entrance of 1, but he just waved his hand after all, as if he didn't take it very seriously.

"gone."

**

Opening his eyes, Bai Li slowly sat up from the bed, took off the game helmet and put it aside.

It was not time to wake up, and the apartment was very quiet.He sat with his knees hugging the wall, his forehead against the wall, and the last scene reappeared in front of his eyes.

The game theme of "Dawn" is to escape the room.After all tasks are completed, a symbolic "exit" will appear, which can take various forms.Sometimes it's just an ordinary door, sometimes it's hidden in plot props.The exit this time is that painting.

After Wen Jiu went offline, dots of light appeared on the painting, which grew bigger and bigger, and gradually spread into an exit, connecting a long passage.

He entered the passage and walked forward for a while, and saw the projections on both sides of the passage, the memories of the different personalities of the protagonist in the game from childhood to adulthood.

Every step forward, it disappears for a while, and finally only his own remains.

At the end of the tunnel is the doctor's voice, full of relief and pride of success, beckoning his patients to wake up as soon as possible.But Bai Li stood one step away from the exit, looking up at the projection of the last memory for a long time.

That was Yang when he was a child, happily holding the kitten his father gave him.The childish smiling face was full of attachment, but he couldn't see the dirty and dark desire behind this man.

He got a cute playmate and a twisted childhood.Such an experience radiated on his soul and affected his life experience.

He didn't do what he wanted to do, he didn't become who he wanted to be, and he watched the people he loved disappear.After finally getting rid of everything, the deepest feeling in my heart is only hurt.

Bai Li raised his chin slightly and bumped his forehead against the wall a few times.Force yourself to withdraw from the plot.

The experience in the game will not cause damage to the player's body.The helmet emits electric wave signals to stimulate the nerve center to produce pain sensation, which will disappear after leaving the game.

He raised his hand to take off the sensor behind his ear. For some reason, he still felt a dull pain in the place where the corner of the table knocked on his waist.

Just now, someone was so close and told him in a serious tone that he wanted to live.In a blink of an eye, he laughed again, saying that it was all a lie, but it was just to get a high score.

How can anyone in this world sacrifice his own interests for others for no reason?

How can there be people who are sincere to others for no reason.

No.

It is impossible to be as close as flesh and blood, let alone meet by chance.

"..."

Baili groped around on the bed for a while, and found his cell phone to call his only friend.But when she looked up and saw the gradually brightening sky outside the window, thinking of what she said that a girl must get enough sleep to have good skin, she gave up decisively without much struggle.

Today is Saturday.He has no classes all day, and in the afternoon he will work part-time in Boss Cui's shop, and he still has a few hours of free time to catch up on sleep.

He has been unable to sleep properly in bed.I have been relying on gaming helmets for nearly half a year, but today's game time has run out.

Bai Li put away the phone, half-kneeled beside the bed and stretched out half of his body, drawing the heavy blackout curtains.

He sat in the dark for a while, and finally got out of bed, dragged the quilt down and put it on the floor, made a simple sleeping bed in the narrow space between the table and the bed, lay on it and hugged the pillow to close it Eye.

The room was once again enveloped in a thick silence.

Night filled the room like slime.

The heavy eyes cannot escape the quagmire of night.

**

When he woke up, Wen Liangjiu was so irritable that he wanted to log back into the game and continue hacking people.

It seems to be the sequelae of the whole night, the buzzing in the ears, making people headache and upset.

It's already lunch time.He left the bedroom and looked for cigarettes in the living room.The door of He Ji's room was closed tightly, and he still hadn't woken up from his sleep.The students outside were already out of class, laughing and laughing in groups to get express delivery for dinner.But on the 16th floor, only the vague sound of wind could be heard.

Wen Liangjiu found the last half pack of cigarettes on the cabinet in the living room, lit one, took two puffs and then extinguished it.

As soon as the restlessness was suppressed, the alarm clock rang again.

He frowned and turned off the alarm, brushed his teeth, rinsed his mouth, took a shower, changed his clothes, picked up the eau de toilette by the sink and sprayed it twice.After confirming that there was no smell of cigarettes on my body, I called the flower shop before leaving and ordered a takeaway before going out alone.

The climate in early spring in Ming City is dry and windy.Wen Liangjiu wrapped half of his face in the scarf, and went to the flower shop first to pick up the reserved bouquet.

He would come to pick up flowers at this time every week, and the clerk didn't ask any more questions when he saw him, and just brought over the prepared bouquet.

A large piece of baby's breath is covered with carnations and roses. The fragrance is very light, but it is full of vitality. The petals are covered with fresh dew, which makes people feel happy just by looking at them.

Wen Liangjiu took the flowers and stopped the car to go to the hospital.

The nurses in the ICU on this floor knew him well.The head nurse was checking the medical records in the nurse's station. Seeing him coming up, she greeted him naturally, "Did you come to see my mother again? She's doing well this week and is very stable."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Wen Liangjiu smiled politely, and took out a carnation from the bouquet in his arms to give to her, "You look beautiful today, too."

The building was well heated, so he took off his scarf and long windbreaker when he entered, and put them neatly on his elbows.At this time, he was only wearing a crisp shirt with the neckline slightly open, and he spoke in a soft voice with a charming smile.

The head nurse took the flowers, feeling in her heart that when her son would grow up like this, she nodded and wrote down his name on the visitor list, "Go, it's only you today."

Wen Liangjiu thanked him decently, found his mother's ward with ease, opened the door and entered.

The room was silent.The detection instrument is operating responsibly, and beeps with a stable frequency during work.

The mother lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed and her face peaceful.

Wen Liangjiu changed the flowers on the bedside and sat aside, as if he didn't know what to do, he raised his hand and stroked his hair, "...Mom."

"I played games all night again yesterday, Sha Ji was with me."

Routine opened the beginning with difficulty, and then the words behind him spoke smoothly.He picked up interesting things and talked about his lackluster week, but in the end he couldn't help but bring the topic to Baili.

"I didn't expect it to be a child. I don't look tall, but I have a big temper."

Thinking of the last conversation outside the room, he smiled and said, "You know what kind of virtue I am, and I couldn't hold back and teased him a few words."

"He's just a child, with a very simple mind. He can't do it like this, and he will understand when he grows up."

"It's just playing games. Then why do you have real feelings? Fuck, it's not necessary."

"...I'm sorry, Mom. I won't swear in the future."

"That kid seems to be serious."

Wen Liangjiu's disappointed eyes after remembering the mask, actually felt like the guilt that had been silent for many years was revived.

"Forget it, I didn't do anything wrong."

He shook his head, shaking all the weird thoughts out of his mind, "Anyway, there should be no chance to meet each other in the future. You say so."

He spoke alone.The mother was still lying quietly on the bed with a serene face, and she didn't give him half a response from the beginning to the end.

The weekly visiting time is only half an hour, and it ends quickly.After coming out of the hospital, he didn't really want to go back to the dormitory, and wandered around the street alone.

The phone vibrated twice in his pocket. It was a message from He Ji, thanking Lord Jiu for his kindness.Wen Liangjiu answered "read" indifferently, threw the phone back into his pocket and continued walking.

The sun is good today, and the wind is a lot less.He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't want to go anywhere, so he kept walking along the road.When you see an intersection, you turn casually, regardless of direction, aimlessly.

As the sky gradually darkened, a familiar nursery rhyme sounded in my ears.

"What's your father's name..."

When Wen Liangjiu looked up, he saw the pink and tender signboard of the cafe not far away.

"..."

How did you get here?

**

During the break, Bai Li finished his meal and was watching Wen Jiu's live video screen recording with Meng Lian's mobile phone.

It wasn't that he took the initiative to see it.Meng Lian didn't get a room the night before, and he didn't have time to play games today, so he searched "0157 spoiler-free live broadcast clips" all over the Internet. When he saw this episode, he laughed so hard that he had to drag him to share it.

Look at the time when several people are looking for clues separately in the small restaurant.Wen Liangjiu walked by himself, but was surrounded by a group of kittens on the road.It seems that to complete the personal task of the character, he has to hug all the kittens that surround him one by one.

He bent over again and again, his face full of impatience.The movements are light and cautious.

The clingy kittens were all grabbing his trousers and climbing up, but they were all about the same size. Some of them had been hugged several times, and some hadn't been hugged once. He didn't see the reminder that the task was completed for a long time, and finally took a deep breath. In one breath, he made a sound.

"Don't fucking move me!"

"..." The kittens were indifferent to his threats, and still scrambled to rub against him.

With a sullen face, Wen Liangjiu continued to hug her lightly and carefully.

"did you see it."

Meng Lian contributed a series of "hahahaha" barrage, mocking mercilessly, "If he comes to our store, he might be scared out of it."

Bailey: "..."

It turned out that this was what was said in the barrage at that time.

He returned the phone to Meng Lian, took out a small medicine box from his pocket, poured out two pills and swallowed them.

"What to eat?"

Meng Lian took the time to care about him, "Are you sick? A cold?"

Bai Li shook his head, "Calcium tablets."

I envy bought it for him.At that time, I promised to eat it every day, but I would always forget it and only eat it once when I remembered it.

"After that, I will supervise you to eat."

Meng Lian blinked, looked at the small medicine box, then at him, and said seriously, "I think it's necessary."

The author has something to say:

①: The night fills the room like mud

Heavy eyes can't escape the quagmire of night
