Chapter 383: Out of the Circle
Thunder City.
A woman slowly opened her eyes.
“Who am I?”
The unfamiliar room and blank memory made her feel confused.
hiss!
Suddenly, a twinge of pain flashed through my brain.
The woman subconsciously covered her head.
The next moment, a picture flashed across her mind.
It was a picture of a steel monster flashing with dazzling light, crashing straight towards her. She heard something vaguely in her ears, followed by endless darkness.
"Miss...it seems like they call me eldest lady? Could it be that I am called eldest lady?"
The woman looked confused.
Creak.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a bent old woman entered the room carrying a plate.
On the plate, there seems to be a bowl of soup.
The old woman skillfully turned her back to the woman, closed the door first, and then turned around.
“Wow!”
The old woman was startled by the woman sitting up from the bed.
The 'eldest lady' on the bed was also frightened by the old woman's reaction. She shrank to the corner of the bed and asked nervously.
“You, who are you?”
The old woman had already reacted at this time. Looking at the woman who had regained consciousness, the old woman's body could not help but tremble slightly.
"Qin'er, you are finally awake!"
Before 'Qin'er' could react, the old woman had already put down the plate, rushed towards her, hugged her, and shed tears. Flow out from the corner of the eye.
"Qin'er... is my name Qin'er? Do you know who I am?"
The woman asked nervously.
Hearing this, the old woman couldn't hold back her emotions.
"Qin'er, my poor daughter, don't you even remember your mother? What can you do, my miserable daughter!"
Mother?
Is she my mother?
Qin'er still feels weird, but she can't tell what's weird. She just feels strange. Everything is strange.
After the old woman's mood stabilized, Qin'er began to ask about her situation.
It turns out that she is not a young lady, but an ordinary pharmacy clerk.
Because of her good looks, she can retain many customers. She works in a drug store and earns a pretty good income, which is only slightly better than ordinary people.
According to the old woman, Qin'er has been investing in herself. She has spent money to learn all kinds of knowledge in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The old woman always felt that her daughter was wasting money, but it was not until one day that a young man suddenly came to propose marriage that the old woman knew that her daughter was playing a big game of chess.
She originally wanted to rely on her daughter to help her family prosper, but her daughter actually rejected the rich man's marriage proposal, which made the old man and her so angry that they almost ended up in the coffin early.
“If you sell at a high price, you have to sell at a higher price!”
Although the old woman didn’t say it explicitly, it seemed to be the meaning behind her words.
Qin'er frowned slightly. Although the old woman was talking, but listening to her own story, she only felt that she just wanted to get out of such an environment and become better, not What do you want to sell for a higher price.
The old woman's talk was almost worn out at this time. When she recalled the past, bit by bit, she couldn't help but add fuel to the fire and talk more.
"Mother..."
As soon as the word "mother" came out of her mouth, Qin'er felt something strange and twisted in her mouth, as if she had never said this word in her life.
But Qin'er suppressed her doubts and asked.
"Mom, in this case, our life should be very stable. Why did I suddenly lose my memory?"
When it came to this, the old woman became angry.
"Who knows what happened to you? Just a few days ago, you just participated in the Bo family's maid selection and stood out from so many people. Then as soon as you got home, you suddenly fainted."
"This It lasted for several days. If my mother hadn't hired a doctor to prepare medicine and feed you every day, your body would have been dead!"
After that, the old woman looked at you greedily.
"Qin'er, you don't know, taking care of you these days has cost my family money like water. The money at home is not enough. How about you use some from your side to subsidize it? That's what the old doctor prescribed. Medicine is expensive, and if you don’t wake up, your mother won’t be able to afford it.”
The cost?
Are you talking about money?
But... Qin'er doesn't know where she put her money.
She shook her head dully, and then felt dizzy.
The old woman quickly supported her, then went to bring the soup on the plate and fed it to Qin'er.
Qin'er was moved, but now she didn't know that the medicinal materials in the soup were all very cheap medicinal materials, some of which were mixed with soil, like weeds picked up by the roadside. Messily crushed and mixed together.
The only thing that can be called nutritious is the porridge residue at the bottom of the bowl.
"Mom, I feel more comfortable. I want to go out and take a look."
"Okay, it's good to get some air."
Mother helped me out. After leaving the door, the strange feeling in Qin'er's heart became more and more intense.
Because there is a strong contrast between what I see in front of me and the picture that flashes in my mind.
In front of me is a dilapidated courtyard, with traces of people walking on the bumpy dirt floor.
As for the scene in my memory, except for the steel monster, the ground was so clean and tidy, and the whole thing gave people a special sense of beauty.
"Qin'er? Qin'er!"
The old woman's voice brought her back to reality.
“Did you remember anything? For example, where did you put the silver you earned?”
Seeing the old woman's eager look, Qin'er instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.
But when I thought that my life was saved by the old woman, without her, I would have died long ago if I had been in a coma for the past few days without eating or drinking, and no one would take care of me. vocal channel.
“I can’t think of anything.”
The old woman’s expression froze for a moment, and then she laughed dryly.
“No hurry, no hurry, Qin’er thinks slowly, thinks slowly…”
Just as the old woman was talking about this, an angry shout suddenly broke out outside the door of her house.
"I'm going to kill you! What's wrong! I'm going to kill you! What's wrong! I can kill whoever I want! And you, what are you looking at? You want me to kneel down for a broken game?" ? Are you worthy!"
As this voice sounded, there was a lot of rustling outside the door.
The old woman was so frightened that she quickly went to see if the door to her home was closed tightly.
As for Qin'er, her expression was a little strange.
Because the way the man spoke just now gave her a very familiar feeling, but with amnesia, she couldn't figure out why she felt this way.
I quickly went to the door to take a look, and through the crack in the door, I saw the arrogant man, whose head was chopped off by the team that just came over.
Heads rolled on the ground and blood spurted out.
The people around were clapping and applauding, but Qin'er looked at the strong man's head on the ground in confusion.
Obviously he had been chopped off, but the last remaining expression on the strong man's head was still so arrogant and proud, as if he didn't care about life or death at all.
Isn't he afraid of death?
A kind of curiosity, like scratching an itch, emerged from Qin'er's heart, which made her very concerned.
"Sister, sister?"
A childish voice sounded from behind.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, rubbing her eyes, just came out of the house.
elder sister?
She is my sister?
Just when she thought of this, the face of a strange woman suddenly appeared in Qin'er's mind.
Whose face is this? ?
When she came back to her senses, Qin'er found that she didn't know when she was already lying on the ground, holding her head tightly with her hands, and her whole body was dirty.
Looking ahead, the old woman was protecting the girl from before, staring at him with an extremely complicated and indescribable expression.
“What’s wrong?”
Qin’er asked in confusion.
Unexpectedly, the old woman spoke in an extremely cold voice.
"...You are sick."
"Same disease as the guy who just died outside the door." Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Old lady, open the door quickly, I've invited the master! If Qin'er really gets sick, we can sell her to Yudi Mansion and make a lot of money without having to worry about it anymore. I’m thinking about the money that girl has hidden!”
“Old woman! Please open the door!”
Qin'er, it's just amnesia, not stupidity.
Although there was some confusion, she still asked quickly.
"Mom, what on earth is this..."
"Get out! Get out of the back door! I don't have a daughter like you!" the old woman roared.
"Sister...sister! What happened?" The ignorant girl was frightened and cried.
The person outside the door seemed to realize something, and the knocking on the door became louder.
With just a moment's hesitation, Qin'er quickly ran towards the back door.
Although I don’t know what’s going on, I… seem to be running for my life!
As Qin'er left, the door, which was already weak, was completely knocked open.
An old man with a red nose glared viciously at the old woman in the yard.
"Where is the person? I heard who you were talking to just now! Shu'er, where is your sister! Is she awake? Where is the person!"
Behind the red-nosed old man, there was a man carrying a big knife on his back. tall and strong man.
There are many scars on the body of the strong man carrying a knife, which gives people the feeling that strangers should not approach him. Just standing there is enough to scare the girl who is protected by the old woman into tears.
Hearing the cries, the red-nosed old man became irritated and kicked open the room where his daughter rested. There was no one inside.
If I hadn’t hoped that my daughter would be able to find a job at Bo’s house after she woke up, my daughter wouldn’t be able to live in such a good room.
"Old woman..."
The old man with a red nose and a gloomy face walked towards the old woman holding the blood-stained wooden board.
He didn't even care about the presence of outsiders and already started fighting.
In an instant, shrill screams and begging for mercy were heard in the dilapidated courtyard.
The joys and sorrows of little people cannot reach the ears of big people.
The eldest lady of the Bo family, Bo Shan, is watching the Bo family busy preparing for the upcoming wedding.
Her anxiety became more and more serious as the date approached.
The only thing that can slightly divert her attention is that more and more people have been infected with [blue blood disease] recently, and their methods of dealing with them have become more and more rough.
As well as the investigation into the death of his younger brother Bo Fanfan that his mother had previously asked.
The former made the Bo family gradually get involved in the matter, calling in many doctors to study the corpses of infected people.
For the latter, you still need to wait for news.
As long as it does not affect the overall situation, she does not mind having the enemy who killed her brother dealt with.
This is a little bit of selfishness on her part. Of course, if the situation does not allow it, then it is just an investigation and there is no need to do anything extra.
She and the investigation team made this clear. They should know what to do.
“I hope their trip goes well and that returning with the enemy’s head will make their mother a little happier.”
Bo Shan thought to herself and began to fall asleep.
At the same time, Tianyuan Town, which is far away from Thunder City, welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
“Is Tianyuan Town ahead?”
“Yes!”
“You all know our mission goal, right? I’ll repeat it again, find and kill Bo Fan The murderer will be killed and then return to Thunder City immediately. All investigation operations will be conducted in a low-key manner. If you encounter enemies, please report to me as soon as possible."
"Understood!"
Povi, the team leader, glanced at the rising sun and waved his hand.
"Okay, let's enter the city."
The team began to enter Tianyuan Town.
But they didn’t know that something was actually following behind them.
"What a terrifying formation... This town is a bit interesting."
A faint voice appeared in the void and disappeared quickly.
……
In reality.
“Yawn!!”
Fang Yu suddenly sneezed.
I didn’t blow my hair in the shower yesterday. Do you have a cold?
Fang Yu was nervous for a moment. Although Yudi Mansion and the Lin family were in peace recently, something was wrong no matter how you looked at it. It was almost like the calm before the storm. It made people feel hairy and worried about when it would happen. Something happened suddenly.
I can’t fall down with a cold at this time.
Who would have thought that the invincible Master Diao in the game, the acting captain of Yudi Mansion, is actually a person who can almost catch a cold just by taking a shower.
If Ding Hui and the others knew about this, they would probably be laughed to death.
Shaking his head slightly, Fang Yu drank the coffee beans purchased online, and the homemade coffee brewed by hand, accompanied by the steaming heat, took a sip, which made him sober up.
One bite of the freshly heated quick-frozen meat buns and a combination of Chinese and Western breakfast made Fang Yu very satisfied.
Carefree and gaining weight, Fang Yu feels that in recent days, his income has increased, food has been provided, and he even seems to have gained a lot of weight.
I turned on my phone casually and was about to use my phone to open the game forum and browse the posts.
Suddenly, a pop-up advertisement popped up. Before Fang Yu could do anything, the pop-up advertisement started to jump automatically.
Fang Yu:? ? ?
Are you so shameless now? If you hold your phone so steadily, it will jump automatically?
I subconsciously want to close the page after the jump. The video content on the page has already started playing.
“...It is reported that "Seeking the Demon" has gradually become..."
Eh? Talking about games?
Fang Yu took a closer look and found out, surprisingly, it was still the official title of the local media in Jiangnan City!
This surprised Fang Yu.
After all, games are a bit unpopular, and official media accounts rarely mention them.
After listening carefully for a while, Fang Yu realized that the content of the official media account was about the recent problem of part-time jobs for young people. That is, the economic downturn and income contraction have made it easier for young people to target part-time jobs. online games.
However, experts commented that part-time jobs for making money in online games are far less stable than traditional leaflet distribution, delivery people, and restaurant waiters. It is easy for young people to waste their rest time without gaining anything.
Then he began to call on everyone to face life squarely. Accompanied by the background music of the light of the right path, everything was so beautiful.
If the games they criticized were replaced by other online games, Fang Yu would agree with this statement.
But "Seeking the Demon"...it is too stable and too hot!
The hot popularity has brought about a stable gold price, which makes the gold earning in the game very cost-effective.
Even now, the popularity of "Seeking Demons" has begun to become more and more intense.
In the beginning, they, professional gold diggers and game enthusiasts, stared at the new game "Seeking Demons" every day.
Now it seems that...even the aunts and uncles who set up stalls on the roadside have begun to gossip about this game.
For fashion-conscious working white-collar workers, playing "The Devil" is the latest trend.
The popularity brings about breaking the circle, breaking the circle attracts popularity, and then with solid quality, it continues to attract people into the trap.
"Seeking the Demon" seems to have done nothing. It relies on hard power and attracts constant publicity to make the game prosperous.
However, Fang Yu doesn't know how long "Qiu Demon" will be popular. It should be no problem in half a year to a year.
I must seize this opportunity and make a lot of money, lest the popularity of the game has passed and I haven't made enough money yet, wasting the opportunity.
I watched a few more short videos and found that some mainstream media also started to show "Seeking Demons".
Although they are just discussing the social impact of this game, being able to be on such a semi-official platform shows that the game is already quite popular.
"As expected of the game I fell in love with at first sight!"
Fang Yu has a good idea of when his own baby grows up, and when he takes it out to show to others, he feels embarrassed.
Occasionally, he also fantasizes about this game being popular among the people, holding a professional competition, becoming a professional player, and becoming a big star that is popular all over the world.
But, that’s just thinking about it.
After taking the last sip of coffee, he returned to the room and prepared to enter the game.
"Seeking the devil, activate!"
