It was raining outside the window, and the evening breeze after the rain was cool. Chu Feng was leaning on the small balcony of the bedroom, with a cigarette in his left finger, and the phone in his right hand, chatting with X.

The phone buzzed twice:

[Can't remember]

X replied to Chu Feng:

[Should not be a legal worker]

I think so too. Chu Feng raised his eyebrows, as a Chinese legal worker, it is difficult to connect with X's shipwreck. However, if people who violated the law and discipline were smuggled somewhere, and finally got into a shipwreck, it sounds somewhat related.

After a pause, X on the opposite side seemed to sense Chu Feng's suspicion of him.

[Amnesia is real]

X added:

[I didn't lie to you. ]

X, who is far away in the ocean, carefully selected an emoticon package from the supervisor group and sent it:

Golden Retriever Dog Eyes, Staring at You/Sincerely.jpg

"..."

Chu Feng imagined that X was about 1.9 meters tall The tall man put on an aggrieved look, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Smoke, dots of red, light up at night. Chu Feng raised his hand and took a puff, exhaling a smoke ring, which was scattered in the fresh wind after the rain.

"Cousin! Are you smoking again?"

Dog-nosed Lin Lan was sitting in the living room playing games, barking like a puppy when he smelled smoke.

Chu Feng pretended not to hear, hid on the small balcony of the bedroom, isolated from the world, smoked one mouthful after another, typed and replied X:

[Trust you once. ]

[However, 13 years old as you guessed is also a bit interesting, I will go back and look it up, we will talk about it later~]

X: [Well]

[Guess is right, remember to invite me to dinner]

Chu Feng: [OK]

He agreed very readily, but he didn't really take the matter of inviting X to dinner to heart.

Firstly, X's guess of 13 years old may not be accurate, and secondly, when X comes to China City H to meet him, I don't know that it will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

In the three-dimensional real society, people are very busy at work, most of them are working overtime, and there are few annual leaves. X Yuan works for a game company in a Pacific island country, so there is no way to fly to China. Chu Feng was only polite when chatting.

He quit WeChat and put his phone in his pocket. Leaning on the railing of the small balcony, holding a cigarette, watching the night view of the city for a while.

The cigarette in his hand was Xie Shiyu's favorite brand when he was alive. With the familiar smell of smoke, he hugged Chu Feng like his body temperature, and accompanied him to watch the lights of Wanjia.

Chu Feng smoked silently. If he enters the Dream City game, there will be countless Xiaoxie who are willing to watch the lights with him. He can experience the scorching body temperature and more intense love, and he will never be lonely.

But after all the indulgences are over, the moment when you take off the game headgear and have to face reality is as painful as being pushed into the ice sea and choking on water.

Although the Xiao Xie in the game is 100% real, and the difference cannot be seen with the naked eye, but he still knows in his heart that it is fake, like an exquisite imitation. Chu Feng knew very well that under those identical skins were not the flesh and soul that he once loved deeply, but sections of carefully written code programs.

After all, virtual is virtual, and reality is still reality. The cold reality was as terrifying as the deep sea, making Chu Feng feel so uncomfortable that he was about to suffocate. If he wanted to escape quickly, he could only put on the game headgear, go into the dream city, and drink poison to quench his thirst.

Chu Feng thought of the dark days when he first learned of Xie Shiyu's death two years ago. Now that he has learned to behave better, when he misses Xie Shiyu, he won't immediately go to Dream City to play games.

Most of the time, Chu Feng learned how to be alone with the old things left by Xie Shiyu quietly. Or a cigarette he used to love to smoke, or an old shirt he used to wear, and miss him peacefully.

It was raining again at night, and the bright raindrops flew obliquely across the lights, reflecting an orange gleam. After Chu Feng finished smoking, he turned back to the bedroom, lay down on the bed to rest, and reached out to hug the big black cat pillow under the quilt.

The plush feel, close to the body, gives people a sense of peace of mind.

This big cat pillow was given to him by Xie Shiyu on their sixth wedding anniversary. Chu Feng liked it very much. At that time, he hugged Xiaoxie to sleep every night and stopped hugging Xiaoxie. Xie Shiyu was so angry that he put this big pillow in the closet.

After Xie Shiyu's death, Chu Feng carried the big black cat out again, put it on Xie Shiyu's old shirt, hid it under the quilt, and slept next to him instead of Xie Shiyu every night.

King size big bed, the big black cat was wearing an old iron gray shirt, with blank black eyes, quietly accompanying Chu Feng.

"Cousin?"

Knock knock, Lin Lan knocked on the bedroom door:

"Are you still smoking? Auntie came to WeChat. Ask me how you are doing."

Chu Feng: "Tell me that I'm fine."

Lin Lan Opening the bedroom door, I saw that my cousin hadn't smoked any more, and got into bed like a round cocoon, as if he was about to go to bed early.

strangeness. Lin Lan thought to herself, why did my cousin go to bed so early today.

Usually Chu Feng stayed up very late, sometimes he was smoking, most of the time he was playing games, sleeping with Brother Xie in Dream City, having breakfast in the game the next day, and returning to reality at noon.

--The meals eaten in the game are all virtual, and the brain waves can receive the joy of delicious food, but in real reality, the stomach of the body does not eat anything at all, and it is extremely bad for the stomach in the long run.

Sleeping in the game, the sleep quality is also very poor, the brain waves are always connected to the game headgear, and the brain in the real body does not get a good rest at all.

Lin Lan could tell that although there was nothing wrong with my cousin's body in reality, his physique was not as good as before. He often had headaches and fatigue. He was only 29 years old now, so he didn't see any serious problems. Twenty years, but I don't know what will become.

When brother Xie was around, he took good care of his cousin.

Lin Lan was feeling sad when she thought about it, when suddenly, ding ding ding ding! !

A WeChat avatar lit up on the screen, with a note: Aunt.

--Chu Feng's mother directly made a video call.

Lin Lan looked up at his cousin, and Chu Feng motioned for him to pick it up.

"Hello--"

Lin Lan: "Hey, hey, how is Auntie!" After

exchanging greetings with him for a while, the auntie immediately turned to Chu Feng:

"Let Chu Feng answer the phone."

Lin Lan took the phone over, and the camera Just in time to photograph the silkworm cocoon Chu Feng in the quilt, Chu Feng turned his head pretending to be sleepy:

"Mom."

"Oh, you are so good today, and you went to bed so early?"

"Yes." Chu Feng: "Mom, you hit me for something Wechat is fine, why call Lin Lan."

"Oh, I don't know you yet? If I call you, you will have time to make arrangements in advance and pretend to fool me! Only call Lin Lan to catch you by surprise. "

Lin Lan thought to herself, it's useless to call me, my cousin knows things like a god.

"Mom asks you, tell me the truth, do you still smoke?"

Chu Feng did not change his expression and his heart skipped a beat: "No, I told you last time, quit." "

I believe you ghost. Lin Lan, tell me, Is your cousin still smoking? Don't be afraid of him, Auntie will let you decide what to do."

Chu Feng did not speak, and gave Lin Lan a light glance.

Lin Lan trembled like a little hamster, she had to bow her head under the fence,

"Auntie, my cousin is quite obedient, he doesn't smoke."

Chu Feng's mother groaned: "Not smoking is still progress, what about the game? It's still there Are you playing that Dreaming City game?!"

"I didn't play it much." Chu Feng boasted bluntly, and after speaking, he glanced at Lin Lan again.

Lin Lan twisted her neck and lied: "Mmm, my cousin only... plays games on weekends, so relax." "

That's okay. You can only play on weekends, not every day!"

Chu Feng: "Mmm. "

Hearing Lin Lan's testimony, Chu Feng's mother seemed finally relieved. The camera scanned her son's bed, and she saw the photo wall next to Chu Feng's bed, and frowned: "Fengfeng, why are you still posting these photos

? What about it? Didn't your mother tell you that what you can't see is what you see, and you won't think about it if you can't see it. You'd better move out of that house. You have so many properties under your name, just pick one Is it okay to live in the new one?"

Chu Feng didn't make any comments, but only hummed twice.

"Well, anyway, mom has said these words hundreds of times, but you still can't listen to them. Why do you like to hang yourself on a tree so much? It's still a dead tree." Chu Feng still didn't speak, just

um One sound.

Lin Lan was a little embarrassed.

Chu Feng's mother seemed to sense it too. Her son was almost thirty years old, and it was not good to scold him in front of Lin Lan, a junior, so she changed her mind and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore,

hang up, take care of yourself You have to eat meals on time, you are such an old man..."

"Okay." Chu Feng replied, "Three meals are eaten on time, and Lin Lan is supervising them."

Lin Lan: "...um."

Chu Feng's mother : "Then I'm relieved, hang up."

" Wait." Chu Feng asked his mother, "Did you finish the calcium tablets last time? Do you want me to buy some from abroad?

"

Feng listened to her mother for a while before saying goodbye to her.

The meaning of his life now is that he can't walk ahead of his parents, and after seeing his parents off, his life can also end without any worries.

Just as Lin Lan put away her phone, she saw Chu Feng jumping off the bed.

"Cousin, don't you go to bed early?"

"Still have time to sleep?" Chu Feng turned on the countdown of the [Dream City] system on his phone: 60 hours left.

This is Xiao Xie, the weakest fighter in the city, the time before he dies.

If the main body Xiao Xie with the highest combat power cannot be found before then, the weakest 10-year-old Xiao Xie will die.

"Then cousin, do you have a clue?"

"Thirteen years old."

Chu Feng looked at the photo wall beside the bed.

13 years old, first grade.

In the photo, he and Xie Shiyu stood side by side on the playground of the junior high school campus, and the sky at the sports meeting was as blue as Hayao Miyazaki's animation.

Sports meeting...

Chu Feng stared at this photo and suddenly noticed something.

Games often give out prizes. The most common prize in the student days was the notebook.

Behind him and Xie Shiyu, there were a bunch of tables and chairs scattered.

At the sports meeting, the huge playground was surrounded by tables and chairs. Each class would be allocated a piece of land, and everyone would move the tables and chairs here to make it easier for students to watch the games, or for participating students to come back to rest.

Chu Feng took the photo and observed it carefully. On the table and chair closest to him and Xie Shiyu, there was a pile of notebooks and yellow and red certificates. The cover of that book is pink and white.

Pink is the background color of the book cover, and white is the pattern. Chu Feng clicked on the phone's magnifying glass function, pointed at the photo--

Lin Lan also leaned over to look at it, and looked at it for a while:

"Hey, cousin, this pattern looks a bit like a rabbit!"

Chu Feng Feng naturally also noticed that this rabbit's ears are one high and one low...

an ugly rabbit.

Chu Feng frowned, he seemed to have seen this kind of ugly rabbit somewhere...

"Cousin, this is Miou rabbit, don't you recognize it?"

Chu Feng: "...?"

Lin Lan: "The stationery brand, I used to A lot of this kind of notebooks were handed out during the anniversary of junior and senior high schools, and I couldn't use them all up, so I threw them away in the end."

Chu Feng suddenly remembered that the student union also bought a bunch of these notebooks for distribution during their university's anniversary, and the ugly rabbit drew In the lower right corner of the inside page of this book, it is produced by the same brand company.

The 24-year-old doctor Xie wrote a drug-killing note, with an ugly rabbit drawn in the lower right corner.

Bang--

"Huh? Cousin? Where are you going?"

Lin Lan saw her cousin rushing out of the bedroom with the photo in hand, and plunged into the study.

Chu Feng immediately opened the study drawer, and there were several ugly rabbit books inside.

He took them out one by one.

Last time he and Lin Lan X found the note that Dr. Xie threw in the wastebasket in the game [Dream City]. He saw an ugly rabbit with ears of different lengths in the lower right corner of the inner page of the note, so he thought of him. A notebook issued by Xie Shiyu when they were in college.

At that time, Chu Feng went back to reality and found these ugly rabbit books in the study. One of them was used by 24-year-old Dr. Xie. There was a torn page on it, and there was graffiti on a wine bottle on the back of the book, which was beautifully ticked off by Xie Shiyu.

But apart from this book, Chu Feng had seen graffiti on other books, but at that time he was eager to find out the secret of the 24-year-old Doctor Xie, so he didn't pay attention to other graffiti carefully.

Even if he noticed, he couldn't decipher the meaning of the graffiti without the slightest hint.

At this moment, Chu Feng was checking the ugly rabbit's book one by one. He had a deep impression on the university's anniversary book, because he remembered that he had specially complained about the ugly rabbit on the inner page to Xie Shiyu. So he preconceived that these ugly rabbit notebooks were all issued by the university and were used by Xie Shiyu to graffiti.

But is it possible... some of these ugly rabbit books were actually posted earlier?

-- Xie Shiyu sorted out many things in the house before, and Chu Feng didn't care much about such trivial things as having a few ugly rabbit books at home.

Soon, Chu Feng found among these ugly rabbit books, a book with a pink background and a white ugly rabbit pattern on the cover!

He picked up the photos and compared them.

The notebook in his hand, and the notebook on the table in the junior high school sports meeting in the photo: a white rabbit with a foundation, one long ear and one short ear.

exactly the same.

The notebooks issued in the junior high school sports meeting, it is impossible to grow up and get married and move to the wedding room on purpose.

Unless... the things written above are very important to Xie Shiyu.

Chu Feng immediately opened the book and carefully flipped through it page by page.

Brush, brush.

The quiet sound of flipping through books rustled in the study.

Most of the pages of the book were blank, and suddenly--

Chu Feng's hand froze and stopped.

On this page of the notebook, there was something written:

Zhengzhengzhengzhengzheng

Chu Feng counted, a total of thirty-seven.

37

Chu Feng couldn't think of the connotation of this number, so he continued to turn backwards, flattened every page in the book and examined it carefully, not letting go of any corner.

Xie Shiyu doesn't necessarily know how to scribble in the center of the book. It might be in a corner. If you don't pay attention to flipping through it, you might just miss it... When turning to the last few pages,

Chu Feng saw something.

Two small graffiti, drawn in the lower left corner of the book, made Chu Feng feel cold all over his body.

It's a knife

with a nice hook.

Chu Feng held the notebook in one hand and the photo in the other, his palms were slightly sweating.

In the photo of the sports meeting, the thirteen-year-old Xie Shiyu smiled innocently, like an ordinary first-year junior high school student.
