This is a sunny living room, not big, but clean and tidy like the owner.Neatly displayed furniture is shrouded in soft warmth, and fine dust is flying in the bright light. If you ignore the blurred scenery outside the window like a signal interruption from time to time, all of this is no different from the real world outside.

However, Cheng Mo knew that he was still in the game, but this time it had nothing to do with the dungeon - this was Qin Chuhe's personal rest area.After Jack the Ripper was brought to justice, he asked Qin Chuhe to have a good talk with him after the copy was over, and Qin Chuhe fulfilled his promise as promised.

"It's great, there is such a place full of sunshine." Cheng Mo looked at the seemingly endless sunlight outside the window, and said with emotion.

"The weather outside has not been so sunny for a long time." Qin Chuhe silently bent his mouth, poured a glass of water for Cheng Mo, and sat on the sofa opposite him, "I can only choose selectively for your question." Answer those parts that can be answered, but I can assure you that I will not lie to you. What do you want to know?"

"First of all, it's about dungeons—from the first dungeon, you have always been in a state of ease, and you have noticed some details that are difficult to notice, as if you already knew the plot development of these dungeons."

Qin Chuhe nodded:

"You guessed right, it's not the first time I've entered these two dungeons. The dungeons of this game are in one-to-one correspondence with the dungeon numbers. The difficulty lies in that the program will map the experiences of participating players in the real world to the dungeons to ensure the same Numbered dungeons, the plots cannot be exactly the same—for example, the baby who asked Wei Guoqiang to hug him is the shadow of his stillborn child in the real world. Even so, the dungeon keywords will not change , that is the foundation of each dungeon, in the first dungeon is the nursery rhyme 'No One Left', and in the second dungeon is the game 'Monopoly'. If you know the key words, even if the script forms a huge Changes, customs clearance will be much easier."

"Then, if there is no guarantee that there will be a huge change in the form of the script, it is the safest way to judge keywords based on the copy number. This requires players to memorize each copy number and the corresponding keywords. There are currently four copies. In other words, the copies of this game are at least on the order of four. It is not the first time you have entered these two copies, and from the perspective of probability, the number of copies you have accumulated must also be of this order." Cheng Mo looked at Qin Chuhe, "Every game is risky, most people don't enter the game as frequently as you, do they?"

Qin Chuhe was silent for a while, and said: "I have a wish that must be fulfilled. The price is very high, and I need to accumulate many points. But this wish cannot be told to you."

"Understood, let's change the subject." Cheng Mo didn't want to force Qin Chuhe, so he nodded and changed the topic to the copy they had cleared this time, "You can hear voices that no one else can hear, and see things that no one else can see For example, the words of the broken baby, the broadcast of the undead at the Embankment subway station, and the player's wish-this information should be kept strictly confidential in the game. How are these done?"

He stared at Qin Chuhe's eyes, trying to see some clues from them, but Qin Chuhe's eyes were as calm as water as always.Qin Chuhe is special, he can see the wishes of other people, he knows almost everything in the previous dungeon, but in this dungeon he can hear the words of the undead.There seemed to be many mysteries wrapped around him, but the person involved didn't seem to want these secrets revealed to the world.

"I'm not the same as you guys." Qin Chuhe pursed his lips, not deceiving, looking back at Cheng Mo with straightforward and frank eyes, "Compared with ordinary players, I have more intelligence in this game." advantage, but there is a price to pay for everything. In fact, you have also seen that everyone who can enter this game is a desperate gambler."

"Then what are you betting on?" Cheng Mo asked sharply.

The flying dust fell silent in an instant, and the sunlight lost its pulsating essence, slowly turning cold like a condensed solid.Qin Chuhe was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice:

"I have nothing left to lose."

The surrounding walls gradually faded, and a strong pulling force pulled Cheng Mo outward.Qin Chuhe stood up in the silent light and shadow, and smiled helplessly: "Someone is looking for you outside, go back quickly."

"One last question!" Cheng Mo yelled with all his strength in the rapidly receding scenery, "Is it you who brought me into this game?"

In the world that was suddenly gone, Cheng Mo saw Qin Chuhe show a sad wry smile, and then slowly shook his head.

Cheng Mo stretched out his hand, accurately touched the cell phone next to the pillow, and turned off the alarm clock that kept ringing.The high-intensity dungeon gave him some headaches. Fortunately, today is the weekend, and he doesn't have to go to class, so he can take a good rest.

Cheng Mo sat up, put on his clothes, and went to wash up. While brushing his teeth, he brushed the news for a while, and then fried an egg for himself.After the microwave oven filled with milk made a "ding" sound, the toast just popped out of the bread machine, and the warm smell of wheat filled the somewhat deserted room.Cheng Mo brought breakfast into the bedroom, sat on the sun-drenched bay window and ate quietly.

The conversation with Qin Chuhe still lingers in his mind. This conversation answered some questions in his mind, but more questions surfaced. "I'm different from you" - Qin Chuhe said this, and Cheng Mo felt that the difference he said didn't just point to some abilities that ordinary players didn't have, but a deeper metaphor in it.

Also, if Qin Chuhe wasn't the one who let him enter the game, why can he only enter passively?

The clock pointed to eight o'clock. Cheng Mo put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, cleaned them up briefly, and headed straight to the school library with his backpack on his back.His work and rest has always been very regular, even on weekends, he will go to the library to read a book for a day before going home.He reads a variety of books, ranging from history books and essays to myths and legends. Thanks to this habit, he can find some details that others have overlooked in the copy.

Today's library is very deserted. Cheng Mo went straight to the fifth floor along the elevator. The bookshelf of strange books was in a corner of this floor. Recently, he came here very frequently.There was no one on this floor. Cheng Mo walked to the bookshelf, and was about to check where the book he wanted to borrow was when a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the bookshelf, almost bumping into Cheng Mo.

"Oh, I'm sorry buddy, are you alright?" The visitor stopped the car at the very moment, and Cheng Mo was stunned by his familiar tone.

plaid shirt.Black-rimmed glasses.A head of curly hair is branching into a ball on the head.

"... Lu Yifan?"

"Hey? How do you know my name?" Lu Yifan looked at him suspiciously, and Cheng Mo remembered that except for the newcomers who were pulled into the game without Lu Yifan's knowledge, the rest of the players would wear clothes in the game. It's a layer of camouflage, so it's no wonder that Lu Yifan doesn't know his real appearance, so he pointed to himself and said, "The copy of 'Monopoly', I am 'Li Hua'"

Lu Yifan suddenly opened his eyes wide, patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder, and said happily:

"Hey, so it's you! By the way, you look quite different from the game, but in reality..." He made a gesture, "You're more handsome."

Cheng Mo choked up for a moment, not knowing whether he should thank you for being praised by a boy or what, but fortunately Lu Yifan turned around and started another topic: "You are also here to find information?"

"Well, I still don't know what the mechanism of the game is. If I don't use my spare time to add information, the next copy may die in it." Cheng Mo nodded, "I don't want to be in a situation where I haven't figured out all the reasons. I lost something inexplicably."

"Me too." Lu Yifan weighed the stack of books in his arms, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Hey, do you have anything else to do today? If not, after borrowing the books, we two Let’s rationalize our ideas together? Discussing together may lead to new discoveries.”

Cheng Mo responded immediately, and after borrowing the books he wanted, the two went to the public discussion area of ​​the library together.Thanks to today's desertedness, there was no one in the discussion area, so they could discuss issues about that game with confidence.

"So, you think it's not the first time you met Qin Chuhe, but you have met Qin Chuhe a long time ago?" After listening to Cheng Mo's analysis, Lu Yifan asked.

Cheng Mo nodded: "I have a very familiar feeling with him. Besides, there is one thing that is very strange. Why did I automatically form a team with him when I entered the game for the first time? According to the general game idea, The team leader and the team members must both agree to form a team, right? But in this game, I don’t remember a link where I need to confirm the team formation.”

"That's true... In other words, if you have ever found this person in the real world? You know his real name and appearance. Logically speaking, if you have really met him, he should appear in a certain period of your life path." .”

"I checked the graduation information since elementary school, and there was no such person in the first and third grades. Thinking that this person might not have been met at school, I called my parents and asked, and they said that it was also among my playmates when I was young. There is no such person. But if this person has nothing to do with me, why do I feel so familiar when I see him?" Cheng Mo rubbed his eyebrows a little irritably, "There are many contradictions in Qin Chuhe .He treats me very well, but at the same time he restrains himself from getting close to me; he is very powerful, but sometimes he is vulnerable; although he is a player, he has a lot of friendship with certain special NPCs... I can't figure it out."

"Wait a minute... You said he has friendship with NPC?" Lu Yifan suddenly interrupted him, "How do you say that?"

"Jacky in the script of Jack the Ripper knows Qin Chuhe." Cheng Mo remembered that Lu Yifan didn't know that he overheard the conversation between Qin Chuhe and Jacky that night, so he told Lu Yifan what he heard. "And what I am very concerned about is that when Qin Chuhe warned Jacky, he mentioned a sentence, 'Don't use the privilege that 'it' gives you to do unnecessary things'. What does this 'it' refer to?"

"It sounds like this 'it' is an existence above the NPC." Lu Yifan tapped the table lightly, muttering with a frown, "Being acquainted with an NPC is different from ordinary players, and is proficient in dungeons..."

Lu Yifan's fingertips stopped suddenly, and he slowly raised his head, Cheng Mo noticed that his face seemed to turn pale all of a sudden.

"Cheng Mo, have you ever thought..." Lu Yifan swallowed, and squeezed out a few words from his throat, "Qin Chuhe may not exist in the real world at all, he is just a Jacky in the game special NPC?"

The author has something to say: the next few chapters will enter the rest area and will revolve around some plots in the real world.
