[Online Games] The world is your enemy

For Su Ran, it was the first time that the strange things she often described happened to her.

In the coffee shop, the young fantasy writer and game planner was tilting his head, looking at the boy standing not far from her.

"My name is Xue Pei." He introduced himself to her like this.

Then he paused, and added a very strange sentence: "We met once before, but I'm afraid you don't remember me... Anyway, this time is different from before, you can call me a great witch. "

Kind of weird self-introduction.

White T-shirt, very ordinary attire, with an obvious student look on his face.

Su Ran can easily recognize those young men and women who are "still in school" - although the other party may only be two or three years younger than her, there are some things that are easy to recognize.Those who have not been exposed to society, think that the small world in the school is the whole cruel world... It is very easy to recognize for a sensitive writer like her.

—is a student.

This was her first impression of Xue Pei.

Two days ago, it was this boy who left a message on her computer saying that he had a story to tell her... But this reason is absolutely impossible to make Su Ran come to meet a stranger, and there are other reasons.

For an almost unthinkable reason.

She was using a company computer, and the young intruder had no trouble finding her—and calling her by name.This may be explained by "the other party is a very good hacker although he is young", but the next thing is completely unexplainable.

"Oh, I have to work overtime." She thought it was a prank when the invitation suddenly appeared on the screen, and she didn't even want to answer it directly.

She just said it casually, and there is no external headset. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the intruder to know what she is talking about.

However, the small words on the screen suddenly showed new content: "Just take a little time, you can stop working overtime tonight. I can help you."

This sentence made Su Ran stunned for a moment, and then, the surroundings suddenly became dark.

"Hey, what's going on?" She heard a noise downstairs, "Damn it! It's tripped!"

The whole building was plunged into darkness. After a while, she realized what happened. It wasn't a tripping, but a power outage in the whole building.

She really didn't need - and couldn't help - to work overtime.

Su Ran stood there in a daze for a while, trying to digest everything she just faced.

Was it the intruder?She thought it was unbelievable, she felt a tense feeling in her throat.

But in an instant, she was relieved again, and she suddenly smiled easily... Wait, why are you so nervous?Maybe it's just a coincidence.And now her computer has also "popped" to a black screen. Since the power has been cut off, the other party obviously can't contact her anymore...

If the power outage of the whole building is just a means of proof for the other party, then this is a bit too stupid...

The other party can't continue to invite me...

Su Ran frowned, planning to pack up her things and go home - at this time she had already listed today's strange event as a "boring coincidence" in her mind.However, at this moment, she suddenly saw a strange change in the lights of the opposite building.

There was a flash of neon, and then a quick combination—two letters.

Yes, it was another building facing her office... All the lights on its entire glass curtain wall were manipulated by an unknown force.And the power that lines up the neon lights into the shortest sentence of inquiry—

"OK?"

At that moment, Su Ran felt that her hand holding the bag was a little numb...

This is... a message for her?to herself?

"Good," she said.

Then the neon sign gives a time, a place.

And then...the meeting today.

Sitting in the coffee shop, Su Ran felt that this boy named Xue Pei was quite ordinary. He looked like a normal student. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have connected him with the shocking spectacle of that day. Together.

"Okay... what do you want to tell me?" She sat down and asked, hanging her bag on the back of the chair.

"Actually, there is nothing special." Xue Pei scratched his head, "I haven't talked to anyone in real life for a long time, but I always feel that it is necessary to meet like this to express my respect... I really have nothing to say, I just want to meet you once... After all, in every sense, you are the mother of 'that person'..."

——It's completely out of context.

Su Ran suddenly suspected that it was a mistake for her to come here.

Let's be honest, telling a single woman shit like "just want to meet you" or "you're a mother" - it's totally unworthy.

Xue Pei seemed to be aware of her strangeness, and he quickly said, "Don't, don't misunderstand. The 'mother' I said has no other meaning... I just wanted to trace the source of something, and finally found out that it happened to be you... …No, this expression seems to be more problematic.”

He didn't seem to be very good at communicating with others, and he talked around for several times without getting to the point.

"It's really just a story."

In the end, he stopped his indistinct narration—he looked up at Su Ran and said, "I have a story of my own...I want to tell you."

"It started last year... I died."

This is the beginning of Xue Pei's story.

"Or, at that time, I thought I was dead."

Then there are several times of back and forth between the world and cyberspace, back and forth.

I once poured my feelings into those people of Taixuguan, but in the end they each went their own way.

"In the end, they built a so-called 'new world not affected by gods'... Outside of your game, a new world was created using the connection between various terminals..."

After telling her own story all the way, Xue Pei spread her hands: "And me... I became like this."

When he said this, he suddenly asked Su Ran abruptly, "How many times?"

"How many times?"

"Tell me a number, within ten will do."

"Four?" Su Ran said casually.

"Just look at the lights around you." Xue Pei said with a smile. This sentence sounded meaningless at first, but soon you will find that it is too obvious, so obvious that you don't need to take the initiative to look at it.The wall lamp in the coffee shop went off, then turned on again, and just like that, it began to flicker inexplicably, one, two, three, four, exactly four times.

"Or you can try to change the light music here to any song you want to play, or add some money to your bank card instantly, it can be done." He looked into Su Ran's eyes and used Said in a very soft voice.

——So when I introduced myself, I said that my name is Xue Pei, the great witch Xue Pei.

——This kind of self is not a normal human being no matter what.

"And I... I became what I am now."

As long as there is a network and electricity... he is omnipotent.

Xiaodao Niang tried to post on the forum.

"I remembered that name...it's the bug I said I've seen!" She didn't carefully organize her voice at all, she basically typed whatever came to her mind.

However, after she clicked to post, she found that this post could not be clicked anyway.

"That's why you found out, the spooky girl who met once." She suddenly saw her QQ flashing, it was a message sent to her by a stranger she had never added before.How can the other party chat with me without adding me?

Before Xiaodaoniang understood her doubts, she saw that QQ contact quickly dimmed.
