Longjing's calm heart suddenly fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

Bone calm.

Even the "secret cabinet" game, to him, is just a slight emotional fluctuation.

Since he was a child, he didn't feel the emotions that normal people should have.

Longjing rubbed the key in his hand, and there was a worn red blessing knot in the hole of the key - it is said that this is what "he" has been looking for before - what's the use?

"Little brother?"

A strange greeting suddenly sounded from behind Longjing. He turned around and saw a woman in sportswear standing in the middle of the hospital hall.

The makeup on the woman's face was very heavy, and she was still holding a suitcase in her hand. It seemed that she was still a person who was going to travel far.

Longjing stared at the woman in front of him for a while, then frowned and said, "Who are you?"

His intuition told him that the purpose of this woman coming to the hospital was to find him.

This is not pretentious, but his over-sharp intuition sounded the alarm.

The woman suddenly stared at Longjing and laughed: "Hi, it's the first time we meet, let's get to know each other. My surname is Xu. You can call me Sister Xu, but you must never call me Aunt Xu."

Longjing didn't respond, but just stared at the other party very strangely, with an inexplicable look on his face.

Sister Xu let go of her hand holding her suitcase, and continued to Longjing: "I know that your family has some problems now, and you are short of money."

Longjing frowned.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

As he said that, he wanted to leave the hall. The nurse had already told him the number of the ward, so he didn't need to squat in this place anymore.

However, Sister Xu did not give up.

She followed Long Jing all the way to the top of the stairs, and it seemed that she still wanted to get on the same elevator as him.

Longjing turned around resolutely and chose to take the stairs.

The stairwell is dark, only the pale lights of the sensor lights that follow the footsteps, and the green pointing lights that appear every few meters.

Because this is a high-rise sick building, most people will not choose to take the stairs.

Too quiet.

Longjing took two or three steps upstairs, and then said to Sister Xu, "May I ask what you want from me?"

Sister Xu smiled, gave up the heavy suitcase, chased after Longjing's side and handed him a business card.

"Actually, I am the director of a security company. I heard that you play the game well, so I hope to invite you to join us. Our salary is based on the number of games, the difficulty, and the number of people we protect. It is very generous. If possible, I Personally, you are also very welcome to join.”

Longjing turned sideways, looked at this exceptionally capable woman, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "What game?"

Sister Xu smiled slightly and said, "Secret cabinet."

……

There are not many people in the ward, probably because this is an intensive care unit, full of pain and death every day.

Normal people don't say that they can't avoid it, at least under normal circumstances, those who can take a detour will still take a detour.

No one wants to stay here for a long time.

When Long Jing walked into the ward holding the business card in his hand, the first thing he saw was his mother lying on the side of the bed, sleepy from exhaustion.

There are clusters of white hairs on the sideburns. Longjing remembers that before he left home to go to school, his mother's hair didn't have a few gray hairs.

The business card in his hand retains the warmth of his palm, and after being put into his pocket, it continuously radiates heat, helping Longjing resist the bone-chilling cold in the south.

He didn't call out, just approached the hospital bed silently, looking at the father lying on the bed and the mother who was so sleepy that she fell asleep on her stomach.

The patient in the bed next to him was still screaming in pain, weak, with his stomach protruding from the ascites, and the ventilator made a cold normal working sound.

Long Jing glanced at the sick card on the bed next door. Lung cancer was at an advanced stage, and he could only rely on a catheter to drain the pleural effusion to maintain barely breathing.

This scene looks more like hell than the scene in the game.

The phone in his pocket was vibrating, Longjing hesitated for a second, turned around decisively and left the ward.

He walked in a hurry, and didn't take out his mobile phone until he was far away from the ward, and connected the call.

"Hello? Hello, is this Teacher Yang? Well, yes... Something happened to my family. My dad is sick...Illness? Yes, it is very serious, so I want to ask for two days off...Okay, thank you teacher ..."

Soft footsteps echoed in the dark stairwell.

The sensor light was not triggered because the sound was too low, and the orange-red fire at the bottom of the stairs flickered, accompanied by the sound of people breathing, on and off.

Longjing finally hung up the phone, stared at the woman in front of him in the dark, and said word by word: "I hope the money will arrive as soon as possible, but what I am more concerned about is - you said that if you play this game to the top of the stars , you can get the chance to cure other terminally ill patients—”

Sister Xu giggled, looked at Longjing with slender eyes, and said calmly: "Of course, there is a boss in our company who has successfully cured a friend who died. As long as you successfully complete the protection task , after reaching the standard, I will recommend that big shot for you."

Longjing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Smoking is bad for your health. I just saw a patient with advanced lung cancer in the ward."

Sister Xu scoffed at this.

"What are you afraid of? Don't you earn your life's money in our line of business?"

Long Jing didn't refute her, because he knew that there would be no pies in the sky, and he could earn hundreds of thousands of money for his family in a short period of time, so he really had to work hard.

Although, the "Secret Cabinet" game really seemed easy to him.

However, luck is such a thing, no one can tell what will happen in the future.

"Let's go."

Longjing dragged the suitcase for Sister Xu, and walked out of the sick building without looking back.

"What's the hurry, boy."

Sister Xu slowly put out the cigarette butt, and walked out of the shadows. The orange street light hit her face, and the traces of time were everywhere on her skin.

She is not a young man anymore.

Longjing said to Sister Xu in a very businesslike manner: "What is my first task?"

Sister Xu took back her suitcase from his hand. There were several scratches on the pink plastic shell, and dirt rolled in the scratches. It can be imagined that its owner is not someone who loves his belongings. .

"Your first mission is not difficult. You will enter the mission with a pair of sisters. I have the props for smuggling, so you don't have to worry." Sister Xu breathed out a puff of smoke, "Besides, you have to know, you are It is impossible for me to pay you too much money for the first task. Of course, the tasks of this game should not be difficult, as long as you complete them well. After we confirm your game level, the price of the next task will go up .”

She paused, and continued: "Let me ask again for the last time, are you sure you want to smuggle into the advanced dungeon?"

There was no fluctuation of expression on Longjing's face: "I'm sure."

"No one will protect you, you can only-"

"I understand." Longjing interrupted Sister Xu, "If I didn't want to, I should have lost your business card just now. Sister Xu, I'm an adult now, I know what I'm doing, and I know what I'm doing Things are risky. But there's nothing I can do about it, and someone I know is right."

"The people who will enter the world of the 'Secret Cabinet' are those whose path is blocked."

"Although my way is not blocked, I must now enter the game for my loved ones."

Sister Xu let out a long sigh. She dragged her suitcase to the side of the road and stopped a taxi. Then she turned around and changed the subject to Longjing: "If I remember correctly, you should be a local, right? Do you mind sending me off first?" Shall I go to a hotel?"

Longjing shook his head.

He didn't question Sister Xu's background, which in itself was a very unusual thing.If it was normal, he would probably call Guan Yue and ask her to find out what this person is doing and what his purpose is, and try to eliminate danger to ensure his own safety.

Living is not very attractive to him, but he has a reason to work hard to live.

After sending Sister Xu to a nearby hotel, they agreed to meet in the guest room tomorrow.

After Longjing left the hotel, he went straight home.

The house is deserted, the kitchen sink is still piled with used bowls and chopsticks, the rotten vegetable leaves are not cleaned up, and short mildew spots have grown.

He has done almost no housework since he was a child.

Dad washes the dishes, mom cooks the rice, washes the clothes, and dad drives the car... He raised his hand to touch his chin and found that it was covered with wet water stains.

The eye sockets were very hot, and there was fluid swirling in it, but it couldn't come out, not even a drop.

When he was receiving auxiliary treatment in the treatment center a few years ago, he didn't understand those people who shed tears at every turn, including his mother.

His mother often watched him cry, saying how such a small child could suffer so much.

Long Jing never felt that it was a pity that he could not feel the emotions of normal people, but now he suddenly felt a little sad—if it was sad because of chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Although it may be because of sadness, Longjing still unpacked a pack of banlangen to drink for himself, and tidied up the kitchen while washing the cups.

There is not much popularity in the house, probably his mother has been guarding the hospital bed these days.

While Longjing cooked a pack of instant noodles by himself in the microwave, he looked at the known information of the mission copy sent to him by sister Xu on his phone.

[Xu boo boo: The magic dungeon of the big map, it is said that there will be special temporary skills and props, the task may be very tricky, and the difficulty is a bit high. 】

[Dalongbao: How do you know this information? 】

[Xu boo boo: Haven't you paid attention to the details in the dungeon? 】

Longjing carefully recalled the dungeon he had experienced for a second.

Well, I didn't sleep well, often fell asleep, bad reviews, I have to come back in the future.

[Dongbao: No. 】

[Xu Hush: ... How did you get into Baiyin? 】

[Dalongbao: The game is very easy, and the game NPCs are also very harmonious, just pass the level. 】

[Xu boo boo: ... Fuck! 】

[Dalongbao: The level of silver shouldn't be high, right? 】

[Xu boo boo: You've only been in the "secret cabinet" for a few days... Do you know that you have to reach the full score for the mission? 】

Longjing didn't reply to Sister Xu. Now he was wondering if he really had a problem.

After entering the copy of the game, he should try it out with the two young ladies.

The author has something to say: [The next dungeon will probably be to deliver a courier in the magical world? 】
