As a veteran player, Xu Youyuan certainly knows that the image in the game will be very different from the real image, but the real appearance of Xiaoju is too similar to the appearance of Ato in the game.

And the strongest Alpha on the planet, the name Pinpin, coupled with Shi Yue often blowing air in Xu Youyu's ears, saying how strong and powerful her college friend is, it will inevitably give Xu Youyu a stereotype. , I think Alpha herself should be a gloomy and deep bangs, an otaku who still wears a pair of glasses, and the fresh and cute little Lolita who has a smelly face can't match her.

Xu Youyuan was slightly taken aback, and quickly greeted Xiaoju again.

Xiaoju hummed, and squinted at her: "I know what you are thinking. Xu Youyu, don't judge people by their appearance, otherwise you will be unlucky one day."

It was Xu Youyuan who first admitted that the wrong person had offended her. The other party was Shi Yue's classmate and friend. After all, she was also a child. Of course, it was impossible to see her.

Xu Youyuan smiled gently and said: "It was my fault and my fault, but it was also because Ato's appearance in the dark room was so similar to you that I confused me. Speaking of which, Ato is just like you. Did you squeeze your face? Your relationship with Atuo is really good."

Xiaoju didn't expect that she would say that. There were a hundred uncomfortable sentences waiting in the back, and she suddenly mentioned that Atuo made her face slightly red, and after staring at Xu Youyuan, she stopped talking.

It seems that this trick works pretty well. Xu Youyuan was delighted by herself, Shi Yue posted it in her ear and said:

"Okay, Xu Youyuan, how long have you been with me, did you use my teasing set to tease others?"

"What the hell, what do you mean by teasing me?"

"To deal with hard-mouthed sorrows, immediately poke the shameful set."

"So you think about these messy things all day long."

"How can you say that you are a mess? You are my baby."

Okay, Xu Youyuan admits that she is a little bit imperceptible by Shi Yue, why is the absorption of good places slow, and the humble ones spread so quickly?

"You are talking about me?"

As Xiao Tachibana was about to leave, a hand stretched out from the izakaya, took her back with an arm around her shoulder.

The woman hugging Xiaoju is about the same height as Xu Youyu, wearing a knee-length honey-colored cotton windbreaker, short skirt and low heels, bare legs, and her long hair is neatly tied into a professional look like a professional woman. Orange rubbed her face.

"Go away!" Xiaoju said angrily. "The thick powder on your face has rubbed me away!"

"Don't go, let me smell if I sprayed my favorite perfume again today. Well, it smells so good, it's a good baby." The woman kissed Xiao Tang first, and made sure to put this one around her waist. After the fierce little beast was overpowered, he turned around and said to Xu Youyuan, "I'm sorry, old Xu, this guy in my family is just a little bit terrible, but in fact he has a thin face."

No need to guess, this must be Ato’s infallible.

It's just that the image difference between Ato and Xu Youyuan's mind is quite big.

"What is it called Lao Xu?" Shi Yue was upset on the side, "I'm called Sister."

Ato: "You call me just chant."

"How can I be the same."

Ato ignored her and secretly said to Xu Youyuan: "Brother Yue is usually not like this and talks very little. When we are together with us, she always distracts herself. She doesn't bother to do anything. If you are here, she just Began to pay attention to poverty. I have long thought that someone can cure her. Thank you for accepting her and eliminating harm for the people."

Shi Yue pinched the back of her neck: "What are you talking about?"

Ato: "Say that your dreams about Sister Bird have finally come true. Hey, have you been lifting iron recently? Is your hand strength stronger? Don't squeeze it, and your neck is broken."

When the four of them were walking to the izakaya, Xiao Tachibana asked Ato if he had arrived early, and did not say a word, causing her to wait for a long time at the door for nothing.

"I thought you went in. I just took the time to meet a client who was already late. I didn't expect you to be even later."

"No wonder dress like this."

"Huh? You don't like it?"

Xiaoju put her hands in her pockets and looked away rather indifferently.

"Hey." Ato sighed, took off his jacket, and only wore a tight shirt, his handsome figure looming, "This weather is too hot, it's only a few months, just like summer."

"!" Xiaoju immediately snatched her coat over and wrapped her up again like a zongzi.

Atto: "Don't you care?"

Xiaoju: "...Don't talk nonsense."

Shi Yue booked the venue today, and the entire izakaya was the only group of friends. After all, the big star Yan Rong is coming, so it is not convenient for outsiders.

Canglu called and said that there was a traffic jam, and they had to be a few minutes late.

"It's okay, come slowly." Xu Youyuan said to her on the phone, "If you want something to eat, I will give you some order first."

"We can all do it, eat with you. I want draft beer to drink, just give Yan Rong a glass of lemonade."

"Okay, let's order first, let the boss prepare it and wait for you to come."

"Okay, we are only 3 kilometers away. Soon."

Canglu hung up the phone and found that the traffic was still motionless.

They have been here for more than fifteen minutes.

"Did something happen ahead?" Yan Rong opened the traffic information on the navigation map, and if there was an accident in front of the road, there would be an accident warning.

"I'll go down and take a look." Cang Lu got out of the car and walked forward. On the way, someone said that there was an accident ahead. A car hit the guardrail and the whole car overturned and the glass broke. Fortunately, the cars behind stopped quickly, and only two of them had a slight rear-end collision. If all of them were driven manually, the scene must be very tragic.

"What's the matter with the car at the top? It still hits the guardrail these years?"

"I don't know if the unmanned driving system is broken, it's terrible."

"No...what about the police and first aid?"

"This block of police and first aid can't get through for a while, but it's a Class A accident, and it's a helicopter."

Canglu approached and saw that the cars in front parked slantingly, some of them slumped in with the front of them next to each other, and all the car owners gathered around to watch the accident scene.

Canglu couldn't see the situation of the owner in the car where the accident occurred. He heard that the owner was a woman, and the person was still there. A group of people helped her turn the car over and tried to pull her out, but she refused, and lay inside with a blood on her face, not knowing why.

"The brain is not normal." A short and strong man with a lot of dust on his body said, leaning against his car, "The car turned over and was still playing games and refused to come out. I don't know which neuropathy came out. of."

"Huh? Playing games?"

"Yeah, with the access crystal attached to the game, my face is almost gone, and I stayed in the car. Just now, a few buddies and I wanted to get her out to the hospital, but we just reached in I was caught, take a look." The man raised his arm very angrily. There were two terrible blood stains on his arm, "Isn't this a brain disease? What is it? I know it is a game rollover, I don't know I thought it was a zombie.

"Playing games overturned? It won't happen." Someone in the crowd said, "Autonomous driving systems have long been popularized. Most people are playing games in the car. It was not 10 years ago. How could it be possible to play games overturning?"

"Maybe it's an old manually driven car?"

"I am driving this year's new Big Ben, okay? I don't have a manual one anymore."

"Or the system is broken?"

"If the system is broken, do you still dare to play games by changing to manual driving? What kind of operation is this?"

Everyone, you said something to me. At the end of the talk, I felt that this matter was too mysterious, and my back felt a little chilly.

When Canglu returned to the car to talk to Yan Rong, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky.

Canglu opened the window and looked in the direction of the helicopter. It was too far to see clearly.

"Here." Yan Rong handed her a binoculars. "I went to see my former teammate's concert the day before yesterday and it happened to be brought."

"You have a good relationship with your former teammate."

"Why?" Yan Rong smiled, "I'm going to see how much her dance steps are wrong, and whether her business ability is still that bad."

Canglu: "..."

It could be seen very clearly with the binoculars. Several emergency and firefighters dragged the female car owner out and put it on a stretcher and fastened her seat belt.

The woman struggled hard, her eyes rolled white, and she was still yelling. The previous man was right, and her eyebrows were indeed attached to the game's access crystal.

Canglu is familiar with the logo on the access crystal.

The woman yelled when she was carried to the door of the helicopter to be dragged up. She looked confused, and the crowd of onlookers retreated.

"What's going on." Yan Rong saw Canglu's whole body a little tight, which made her worry too.

"It may be epilepsy." Canglu returned to the car, and the road in front of him was quickly cleared.

"The expression on your face doesn't say that."

"Let's meet up with Sister Bird and others before talking."

...

"Really, you will have a heart attack after watching a game."

When the waiter brought up the wine and skewers, Jiang Yun **** her long hair so that she could have more room to play: "Just when Sister Bird and Xiaoyue rushed to the penultimate map, I almost took Sister Hui’s I pinched my hand and broke it."

Sister Hui sat next to her, arranged the dishes and tea on the table, and smiled and said: "No, you stale blood in the game, I'm the same outside the game. I want to accompany Yunyun to the finals next time. It's time to be fully armed."

"Hey." A Gan was shivered by the sound of "Yunyun".

"What are you doing." Agan girlfriend Chen Shu complained about her.

"It's not too numb."

"Not all couples are like this. I think everyone is like you." In the second half of the sentence, Chen Shu turned his head and said to friends and relatives present. Bright."

Under such circumstances, everyone will laugh perfunctorily to resolve the embarrassment. Young couples, especially couples who have been married for many years, let alone those young couples who have not had **** for two years, it is as if they can be enemies when they dislike each other. Reluctant to get involved in their war.

Except Yan Rong.

"Sister, you can take your wife to the dark room for a date." Yan Rong and Canglu just sat down and drank two sips of water. Hearing their complaints, they quickly entered the atmosphere of the party, even making suggestions, holding Canglu sweet. Said honeyly, "My dear was unable to make up his mind to stay with me before, but it was really amazing. After dating in the dark room, our relationship stabilized. The dark room is really a great one. Dating software. My dear and I have decided to go honeymoon after the finals. Really, in the dark room you can find everything you want."

After the drama spirit Yan Rong was blessed by Canglu, the drama spirit buff went to the next level, completely killing sister Hui in seconds. The goose bumps of A-bar are all up, and Chen Shu is also smiling awkwardly:

"Old husband and wife, what else do you want to make an appointment."

Yan Rong's face immediately became stern when he heard these words: "Why can't old couples and old wives date? The more old couples and old wives are, the more passionate they have to find! I know many players in the dark room who have been married for several years and have not felt each other. , I will burn my passion after I enter the game..."

Yan Rong was crazy in Amway's secret room there. After Canglu drank a big sip of beer, he told everyone about the strange things he had encountered on the way.

"Playing a game to roll over?" Shi Yue asked in confusion, "It's still a dark box? That person is still driving manually while playing the game? Is it such a good break?"

Canglu said: "This is the strangest point. That car has an autopilot system and may be broken. But it doesn't make sense why the person played games while driving."

Shi Ye: "Games are more important than life series?"

Cang Lu shook his head: "Not sure, and the state of the person when he was sent away made people get goosebumps. At that time, many people were shooting, and it is possible that the dark box's access crystal logo was also photographed. It's the finals, Shiyue, Yuyuan, you still better be careful."

When everyone was talking, Xu Youyi didn't speak during the whole process. Shi Yue felt that she seemed to have something to say, and took her out to stand for a while.

"Did you think of something?" Shi Yue asked her.

Xu Youyuan took out her mobile phone and entered the keyword "car overturned in the dark box", and she found the scene shot by the mobile phone on the spot. This disturbing news has become a real-time boiling point. The label reads "a female driver playing a car overturned in dark box". The number of views has passed 8 million.

The two watched the video with their heads together. The video was not professional equipment but a Korean mobile phone. From a long distance, they pulled to a close-up shot, and took a picture of the woman's face and the game on the temple and the logo on the crystal. Clearly.

"Huh." After watching this video and the label very specific to the dark box, Shi Yue sneered, "borrowing an accident to the dark box, maybe even a special performance. This kind of contradictory point can no longer be faked. Some people believe fake things."

It is very rare that Xu Youyuan did not agree with her.

It may not be that simple.

Xu Youyuan retrieved the phone number of "Xiao Ke" from the phone and dialed it. After waiting for a long time, no one answered it. Xu Youyuan hung up again, halfway through the ring, and finally someone gave a "feed".

"Xiao Ke?"

The other side paused and said, "I am Xiao Ke's mother."

Xu Youyuan had a very bad premonition in her heart: "Auntie, what about Xiao Ke?"

After a difficult silence, the other person said: "She passed away two months ago."

"What? Passed away?" Xu Youyuan said with a "boom" in his head, her throat tightened, and she said almost instinctively, "Sorry, please be sorry..."

The other side was about to hang up, and Xu Youyuan hurriedly stopped her: "Auntie, I am Xiao Ke’s former colleague. Can I ask why she died? I just met her before she returned to her hometown a year ago. ..."

"Because of a car accident."

"Car accident?"

"Yes, on the twenty-ninth day of the year, she suddenly ran into an oncoming truck on the way from get off work..." Xiao Ke's mother seemed to have not recovered from the pain of losing her daughter. Shaking uncontrollably, "I don't know why this happened. Her car is obviously an unmanned driving system, so this kind of thing won't happen at all..."

Xu Youyuan asked in a ghostly manner: "Did Xiao Ke play a game when the accident happened?"

"You, how do you know?"

Xu Youyi's heart beat faster: "Auntie, are you at home today? Is it convenient for me to visit you later?"

I made an appointment with Xiao Ke's mother on the phone, and Xu Youyuan immediately bought a ticket for the vacuum train. She didn't have time to meet again. Now her whole heart has flown away, and she needs to figure out some things.

"I'll go with you." Shi Yue was worried, and came out with her bag.

"it is good."

The two said goodbye to their friends, saying that they had important things to do, and they would invite everyone to dinner when they came back.

"Go in a hurry, please come back if you don't invite dinner." Shi Ye said, "You both must pay attention to your safety."

Shi Yue: "Don't worry."

The two left the izakaya and headed to the vacuum station. On the way, Xu Youyuan told Shi Yue about the dangerous experiment that Xiao Ke said when Ke came to her a year ago about Liu Feng and SQUALL using holographic games to access neurons to steal user information. And behind the speculation that there may be government parties supporting it.

"So you think Xiao Ke's death and the car accident of the female car owner may be related to this experiment?" Shi Yue asked.

"Yes."

"But the access crystal posted by the female car owner when the accident happened was a dark room."

Xu Youyuan looked at Shi Yue's eyes: "This is what I worry about the most."

More than an hour later, Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue came to the small southwest town 1,400 kilometers away.

Driverless taxis have also been popularized here. According to the address given to her by Xiao Ke's mother, the two soon arrived in an old community built around 2010.

When I came to the door of the house, I found that the door was actually hidden.

The two looked at each other in shock.

Could it be...

"You are here." Xiao Ke's mother came to open the door, "I have been waiting for you."

Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue breathed a sigh of relief. There are no bad people and no murders. There are too many movies...

After entering the house, Xiao Ke's mother helped them pour water, and Xu Youyuan showed the video of today's female driver overturning the car to Xiao Ke's mother. Xiao Ke's mother said:

"I saw this video on TV later, and it was very similar to when Xiao Ke had an accident. Xiao Ke was also attached to the game's access crystal at the time."

"Which game is it?"

"It's to reshape the universe."

"Then was there anything unusual about her before the accident?"

"It's weird that she has to go back to her hometown to save her suddenly." When she mentioned this incident, Xiao Ke's mother was in a complicated mood, her hand holding the water glass was trembling slightly.

"Her father passed away early. She always said she wanted to make money when she was a child. She wanted me to live a good life. She was a very ambitious child. I didn't euphemistically persuade her to come back to get married and have children. I refused. Then I stopped talking about her but she came back by herself, and when she came back, her hair turned out to be much whiter, more than mine. I asked her if something happened, and she only said that something went wrong with her work, and she came back. Don’t leave, stay at home to test for civil servants. Civil servants are not so popular anymore. They are gradually replaced by robots. There are only a few positions left. The salary is not high and it is basically impossible to communicate with people. It doesn’t seem like she would like it. I am worried about her, but the child is reluctant to say more and I don’t know how to ask. Since there is a problem at work, she will be safe after leaving the vortex of struggle and going home. I thought time would allow Everything calms down, but... it's not like that."

Xiao Ke's mother recalled the terrible things, her voice gradually hoarse, and her eyes became stagnant.

A few years ago, Xiao Ke returned to her hometown after meeting with Xu Youyuan, and found a job in an outsourcing technology company to do it first, preparing for civil servant exams while going to work.

It was calm at first, except that Xiao Ke sometimes couldn't sleep and walked around in the living room, her mother hardly felt any difference in her.

The civil service exam failed for the first time. Although civil servants are no longer in demand, local people who want to find a stable job are still willing to take the exam. Xiao Ke's condition was not very good, and she failed to pass. At the same time, the outsourcing company broke a project, and the boss lost a lot of money. The company was unable to support it, so she was transferred to work in a more rural area, forcing her to resign in disguise, and she did not pay any compensation. If you can get it, you have to go to labor arbitration.

During that time, she was more stressed, so she started playing games to relieve her pressure.

"It's because of the high pressure to relieve the pressure. In fact, it's just an excuse, an excuse to let her not eat, drink or sleep, and spend all her time immersed in the game."

Xiao Ke’s mother’s words made Xu Youyuan feel strange: “She is a game practitioner herself, and it is normal to love games. But she can play games without eating, drinking, or sleeping. This...”

"Don't doubt, she really is like this. She has been immersed in reshaping the universe for a whole week after work has gone bad. It doesn't matter what I say or ask. If I hadn't just grabbed her hands and pulled her access crystals , She might really starve to death. I don’t know what happened. I wanted to take her to the hospital but she refused. She even started to be very alert to me and wanted to move out.”

Xu Youyuan asked: "Have she attacked you?"

Xiao Ke’s mother was not surprised that Xu Youyuan asked, she nodded slowly and said, “Yes, she once wanted to cut my hand with a fruit knife, and what she said made me scared.”

"what does she say?"

"she says……"

When the blade drew over, Xiao Ke's mother quickly retracted her hand out of instinct, and escaped, all the hair on the back of her hand stood upside down.

"Xiao Ke..." She looked at her daughter in horror, completely unable to understand what was wrong with her.

Xiao Ke's trembling hands tightly held the fruit knife, still wanting to find a chance to stab him.

"Is it fake? Is there blood..." She kept repeating this sentence.

Is it fake? Is there blood?

Xu Youyuan's Shi Yue looked at each other, and found the same answer in each other's determined eyes.

"After that conflict, I was a little afraid of her, and worried about her. So I went to the hospital to talk to a psychologist for the whole morning. When I was out of the hospital, I received a call from the police. She was already in an accident." Mama Ke looked at them, "Do you know what?"

"We have some guesses, but we are not sure yet." Xu Youyuan said, "Auntie, has Xiao Ke left anything?"

Xiao Ke's mother shook her head, stood up after a moment of silence, and took out a laptop in the study: "This is the laptop she used during her lifetime. I wanted to open it, but I can't go in if there is a password. You guys Can you unlock it?"

Shi Yue took the computer and said, "Let's take it back and try it. If it succeeds, we will contact you again, okay?"

"Okay, trouble you guys."
