Lin Chen sat in shock at the computer desk, unable to calm down for a long time.
He summarized a few pieces of valid information from the forum and learned that there is an official force that specializes in fighting weird games and will investigate and arrest suspicious players.
But he never thought that one day he would become an official target.
Judging from the attitudes of the two police officers, the current crisis is over, but what about the future?
He deceived the official people. Will his water meter be checked one day and disappear from the world?
The fear of future fate soon overshadowed the guilt of lying. Lin Chen only heard a voice asking over and over again in his heart:
What should I do? What should we do?
He also realized belatedly that Qiss asked him to serve as the president of the unnamed guild and informed him of the world view in the copy of "The Ghost". It was very likely that, as Tang Yu said, it was Wanting to push him out as a shield...
Lin Chen didn't want to think in a bad direction about a person, but putting all the things together, it was difficult not to have doubts.
"Lin Chen, I'm sorry, I still got you involved this time." Qisi's voice sounded in his mind, very calmly, "Fortunately, they found me first, and I reacted in time. , contact you. Now it seems that the time is just right.”
It turns out that Qisi was also found...
Lin Chen felt a little more balanced.
He said hesitantly: "Brother Qi, they asked me about copies of "Frog Hospital" and "Ghost". I also want to ask, why did I become "Ghost" without doing anything? The MVP of the copy?"
The voice in his head was silent for a while, and sighed: "I didn't plan to tell you about that, but I guess if I don't explain it clearly, you will feel it. I'm setting you up, right?"
Lin Chen wanted to deny it, but he didn't say it.
Qiss chuckled lightly and announced the answer in a pronouncement tone: "Because I am already a dead person, and the dead person's name will not appear in any records.
" Clear "The Ghost" with you The Ziss in "" is just a lonely ghost spawned by your skills. Isn't it normal that the performance points will be collected on you? "
The words were as light as small talk, but they hit Lin Chen's heart like a huge boulder.
Scenes of getting along with Qis flashed before his eyes, "Frog Hospital" "The dying Qiss at the end, the ghostly Qiss in "The Ghost"...
He originally thought that Qiss's abnormal behavior at that time was caused by the copy mechanism, but that didn't seem to be the case...< br>
Qisi was still not satisfied. Half sighing and half laughing at himself, he said in a longer voice: "Why don't you recall carefully? After coming out of "Frog Hospital", I have walked such a long way with you. You have Have you heard my breathing?”
The answer is of course no.
Lin Chen was shocked to realize that he had overlooked too many details, and couldn't help but ask indifferently: "Qi...Brother Qi, what is going on?"
"Isn't the situation very clear? I He was supposed to die in "Frog Hospital" due to the backlash of his skills, but he was resurrected by you using the effect of his identity card and became a walking dead."
Chis announced the answer weakly, like a student. The teacher felt helpless due to his slowness: "According to the judgment standards of the Weird Investigation Bureau and even Kyushu, I should be regarded as being contaminated by the weird and degenerated into a ghost at this time.
"If they find out, I will probably show up in their holding room tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Lin Chen thought of countless answers, but never thought it would be like this.
But when I carefully recalled the aspects of what happened in the past, I found that this answer was particularly reasonable.
Resurrection from the dead cannot come without a price, and the identity card is also a weird kind. The activation of the effect is the process of pollution...
He polluted Qiss, and he naively thought that something was wrong. It passed and I saved him...
Qisi had been hiding it from him before, probably because he was afraid that he would feel guilty, right?
He got into a big disaster without knowing it, and even suspected Qiss for some inexplicable reason...
"What are you thinking about?" Qiss smiled lightly, "Actually, I Overall, thank you. After all, without you, I would have died in a real sense.
"I can still open my eyes and see the world. Although I have become a person who is neither a human nor a ghost. At least there is hope of clearing the final copy, right? ”
After saying some specious words, Qisi stopped talking to Lin Chen, who was still messy, and exited the game space.
He got up from the bed, walked into the master bedroom next door, moved the two skeletons on the bed to one side, lifted the bed board on the other side, and pulled out a cardboard box from inside.
In the box were discarded mobile phones of various models, as well as more than a dozen phone cards, most of which had been processed by some means to display virtual addresses and could not be traced.
Qisi took out a phone card and a mobile phone and put the carton back.
He thanked Ning Xu from the bottom of his heart and went to him self-righteously more than half a month ago to avert the suspicion.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have just changed his phone number and moved back to Qijia Village for a few days.
In Qijia Village, he temporarily used the phone card left by his father for emergency purposes, but was found by people from the foundation, which caused a lot of trouble.
As soon as he returned to Jiangcheng, he learned from the painful experience and hid a bunch of phone cards under the bed for later use.
The phone number left for Lin Chen was just one of his many numbers, and the address was randomly determined.
Even if the Weird Investigation Bureau wants to investigate, they can't find him.
Qisi returned to the bedroom and poked the key of the phone with a wire, causing the phone card slot to pop out.
There were two phone cards lying on the card slot. He picked out the one corresponding to the number left for Lin Chen, broke it off and threw it into the trash can.
Then he inserted the new mobile phone sim card into the new mobile phone.
Before today, to save trouble, he would put two commonly used calling cards in the same mobile phone.
But now that I know that I am being targeted by the Weird Investigation Bureau, it is always right to be more cautious in the future.
For the new phone number, you can see it in the game tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Just tell Lin Chen through the soul contract.
Well, it's not impossible not to tell him. With his current growth rate of authority, he might be able to directly communicate with Lin Chen through a soul contract in reality within a few dungeons.
Qisi was thinking in a good mood, turned on the new phone, clicked into the application market, searched for "Happy Xiaoxiaole" and downloaded it.
......
Jiangcheng University, Lin Chen held the team ring and babbled a lot. After waiting for a long time for Qisi's response, he knew that he had unilaterally cut off the chat.
In just one morning, too many things happened. Lin Chen felt as if he was in a dream, unable to distinguish reality from reality.
If he had criticized Chiss's behavior before, now he no longer had the position to criticize Chiss.
Qisi even lost his life to save him. As a person with vested interests, what right did he have to be pretentious and picky?
Lin Chen closed the computer, climbed onto the bed and lay down, staring at the ceiling in trance. The matter is still unresolved. As the president of the unnamed guild, he has cleared the copy of "The Prodigy" as the MVP at this juncture, and his ranking has risen to thirty on the newcomer list. He has already entered the public's sight. If he is not careful, he will be criticized by the public.
What happened today is just the beginning. As long as he is still in that position, investigations from all parties will only continue.
So, what should he do?
Lin Chen took out his cell phone and made a call.
Soon, a kind female voice rang on the phone: "Chenchen, why are you calling at this time? Did something happen at school?"
"Mom, I I really encountered something and I didn’t know what to do." Lin Chen said after thinking, "There is a very powerful boss who has helped me many times..."
He used "school" to refer to it. "Weird games" and "club activities" refer to "dungeons" and roughly describe the matter: "That big guy helped me stand out in several club activities, and he almost lost his qualifications because of me.
"Just in an event that just passed, he squeezed another big guy out of the event in order for me to stay. I really wanted to stay, but he never discussed it with me beforehand...
"Because of this incident, many classmates think I am a villain who likes to play tricks, and some people come to question me..."
After talking like this, the mother on the phone listened patiently. Then asked: “That qualification is very important to you, you don’t want to give up, right? "
Lin Chen said: "Yes. "
"Then what do you have to feel wronged about? You have already received benefits, and no matter what you encounter because of it, you should suffer it, but you cannot have both.
"Be a responsible person and remember your gratitude. You also said that people have helped you. No matter what your starting point is, you should not harm others.
"If you don't like what others do, go ahead and do it. Tell people not to do this next time. But you can't take advantage of it and show it to others with a reluctant look. They don't owe you, you owe them. "
Lin Chen listened to his mother's slightly harsh words and whispered: "But he harmed unrelated people, and everyone else thought it was me..."
" Then go and return the favor, come to the door to apologize, give some fruit, help out with errands, do some beatings, and beg for forgiveness. Don't think that it's someone who deserves you. You are not related to them, but they consider you so much. Don't let them down.
"If it's not against the law or discipline, there's nothing you can't handle in school. If you don't know what to say, please invite your classmates to your house for a meal tomorrow. You've been in college for so long, mom. I haven’t met your classmates yet.”
Lin Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, how could this matter be so simple? Not only was it illegal and disciplined, but it also cost lives...
But he didn't say anything in the end, anything involving weird games and federal officials. It's not easy to involve family members.
Both my parents are ordinary people. They have never experienced any big storms in their lives except unemployment. Knowing too much will only be a waste of time and worry.
Lin Chen prevaricated a few more words, hung up the phone, and lay quietly on the bed, thinking.
No matter what, his mother's words made his chaotic thoughts much clearer.
Yes, he owed Qis a life and he also owed Tang Yu a life. He must pay back these two lives.
The only way to save these two lives is to clear the final copy and negotiate the supreme rules of the weird game.
If the identity card really means divine power as stated in the forum, he will firmly hold the [Doctor Beak] card in his hand.
Don’t back down anymore, move forward indomitably until you step on the long steps to ascend to the gods.
……
"I forgot something a long time ago, and I remembered it not long ago."
Jiangcheng Branch of the Weird Investigation Bureau, in an observation room on the fifth underground floor.
The alienation degree detection meter outside the door jumped wildly, changing rapidly between 10% and 20%.
Inside the door, Chang Xu sat on the iron bed in the corner, holding a Rubik's Cube in his hand and rapidly repeating the process of solving and disrupting it, but his voice was very calm.
“When I first learned everything, I felt angry, but I didn’t know why I was angry. Maybe it was because I thought I was a human being, but suddenly found that you all regarded me as a monster; or just because, human beings are here It's natural to be angry when you find out you've been deceived.
"I gradually calmed down and started to think about some things, only to realize that I had never actually owned anything. I had no position to be angry, because even the feeling of ownership was a kind of deception.
"Director Mu once told me , cheating is due to fear. But I know that fear can never be eliminated. Is it right to cheat? ”
“Cheating is wrong. "Ning Xu stood outside the door and said word by word, "But we have no choice.
"In the last round of the game, we lost everything because of our excessive pursuit of justice in the process; in this round of the game, all of us cannot afford to lose.
" Use Wrong means achieve the right result, and end all mistakes in our generation, allowing more people to survive - this is our purpose in this round of the game. ”
Chang Xu raised his eyelids and asked: "Is this the latest slogan?"
"This is what we are doing." Ning Xu said with a smile, "Jiuzhou Guild has successively After expelling a thousand people, they will hide in the darkness and do things that are not allowed by the purpose of the Kyushu Guild.
“We need someone to stand in the light and sing our hopes and ideals; we also need someone. Walking with darkness, dealing with filth and triviality.
"All actions are just means, right or wrong depends on the ultimate goal and result. You might as well ask yourself, what do you want?"
In the silence, you can only hear your fingers. The "click-click" sound of turning the Rubik's Cube.
Chang Xu was silent for a long time and said: "I want to live, let the people I love live, and let the innocent people I can see live.
"Just like when I first came here , everyone is still alive and full of hope, as if they are still far away from death. I didn’t understand anything, but I felt that having enough food and clothing was all I needed.
"Later, many people who had dinner with me died, and new people came, all with unfamiliar faces that I could not recognize."
Ning Xu was speechless for a long time. , there was a hint of astringency in his voice when he spoke again: "Yes, too many people have sacrificed. In order to clear the final dungeon and to let more people survive, there are some things we have to do."
"Including concealing the evil deeds committed by the Commonwealth Foundation in the past like the incident at Red Maple Leaf Boarding School?"
"Including." Ning Xu said resolutely, "No matter how many sins and slanders there are, they are all matters within human beings and cannot be allowed to penetrate."
"I understand." Chang Xu paused for a moment and asked, " Am I in the light or in the dark?"
A smile appeared on Ning Xu's face: "Fu Jue once wanted to put you in the light and take his place one day in the future. But now, he has. I think you should be given the right to choose.
“Let’s go to the guild exchange meeting the day after tomorrow. "(End of this chapter)
