With heavy eyes, Mo Yi reached out and picked up the business card on the table, and dialed the number on it.
After two beeps, the other party quickly answered the phone.
He was silent, and the other party was considerate and did not make a sound. The soft and even breathing sound from the other end came from the receiver. Finally, Mo Yi broke the silence: "I agree."
"Okay." Jiang Yuanrou seemed relieved, and replied with a slight smile, "I'll pick you up right away."
Mo Yi hung up the phone, lowered his eyes, watching the phone screen slowly dim, and finally returned to the darkness.
Jiang Yuanrou hopes to cooperate with him.
This game is a matter of life and death, if you are not careful, you may die, and the other party obviously has a lot of beneficial information and resources, so cooperating with Jiang Yuanrou is undoubtedly the choice to maximize the benefits.
However, it might sound a bit weird to say...
Mo Yi actually refused at first.
He is a cautious and suspicious person. It can even be said that he is too cautious and suspicious, otherwise he would not have disappeared after the uproar ten years ago, and his trace was hard to find.
— Only the paranoid can survive in this world.
He will subconsciously stay away from all the people and things around him, and will never establish any level of fetters unless he has to.
It's like an island among the crowd.
Mo Yi unconsciously rubbed the business card in his hand, his increasingly cold fingertips slid across the uneven hot-stamped characters on the surface, his eyes drooped, and he sat quietly in the darkness.
He hates meaningless death, so in the game that just ended, he worked so hard to keep himself alive.
However, he is not afraid of its coming, and it is even undeniable that sometimes he even has some secret expectations for death itself in his heart.
Reality is too boring, too predictable, and unchallenging, and this game hides too many mysteries...
This almost made him unavoidable, and he had an irresistible urge to explore.
Just now, when he was watching the news in front of the TV, he felt a long-lost feeling. Hot and bright red blood hit the eardrum, agitated, and shouted the same voice:
excited.
It reminded him of the excitement he experienced when he saw the code for the first time: watching those beautiful numbers quickly generate and wither in the computer, and the regular rhythm made them almost seem to be whirling and vibrating lives, It's hard not to be fascinated by it.
Mo Yi raised his eyes and looked out of the window, the light outside was reflected in his eyes brokenly, like thousands of crushed fireworks flickering lightly in his pupils.
He stood up, opened the door and walked out without hesitation or turning around.
·
Jiang Yuanrou was waiting for him downstairs.
The smooth curves of the sports car reflected the bright light under the street lamps. She leaned against the station, the car was beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Mo Yi walking out, Jiang Yuanrou's eyes lit up, she ran over to open the car door for him, and invited him into the car with a smile, acting like a little girl.
People around cast envious eyes.
-Humph! This face-seeking world!
Sure enough, you can only do whatever you want if you are handsome!
Jiang Yuanrou still had a smile on her face, as if she didn't notice the outsiders' eyes at all, her eyes were shining, and she stared closely at Mo Yi.
Like, deja vu eyes.
Mo Yi felt a chill all over for no reason.
Why does he always have the illusion of being taken advantage of
Putting aside the rambling thoughts in his brain, he quickened his pace and got into the car in a hurry.
The car door closed behind him, blocking the faint sight of the outside world.
The seats are made of expensive leather, and there is a faint smell of women's perfume in the car. The temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted just right, sending out comfortable cold air.
Clean, tidy, hardly the slightest personal trace.
Mo Yi looked back without a trace.
At this time, Jiang Yuanrou had already sat in the driver's seat, and stretched out her hand to remember the seat belt. She looked at Mo Yi through the rearview mirror, and said with a smile:
"I'm scared to death. I'm so afraid that you will disappear without a trace. I don't have any more points to exchange for your whereabouts!"
There was no unnecessary expression on Mo Yi's face, he just quietly lowered his eyes.
It has to be said that he actually prepared like this from the beginning.
Jiang Yuanrou continued: "However, if I don't reveal a little bit of truth, I'm afraid you won't even consider my proposal at all, so I'll take a risky move."
Mo Yi squinted his eyes, looked at Jiang Yuanrou, and the two looked at each other in the rearview mirror:
"As expected of a young lady who can support the entire Jiang Group at such a young age."
Jiang Yuanrou smiled, she didn't seem very surprised that Mo Yi knew her identity, she said:
"Since I was forced to participate in this game, I have gradually withdrawn from the public eye, and I am also gradually withdrawing from the management team. After all, no one knows the identity of the people who participate in the game like me. Do you want to make some moves in reality? Hands and feet. It's also for... in case something happens to me, the whole group can operate normally."
Suddenly, she remembered something and added:
"Moreover, all the players who join this escape game cannot leave a specific face in any video tool. Whether it is a video or a photo, the face will be blurred after it comes out. If the head of a group has this supernatural phenomenon Oops."
Jiang Yuanrou pretended to smile relaxedly, but there was still a gloomy color in those brown eyes:
"So, now I'm just an idle young lady of the Jiang family, and I'm only in charge of spending time and drinking."
There was a moment of silence in the car, and the neon lights outside the window faintly passed through the car, and the color blocks like phantom lights were broken and reorganized, changing shapes rapidly.
In the next minute, Jiang Yuanrou restrained all the emotions that were exposed, and the fragility before was gone from the clear voice, and the voice sank, and the whole person became serious:
"That's why I want to work with you."
Mo Yi raised his eyebrows and looked up at her.
Jiang Yuanrou stared straight at the driveway ahead, her clear eyebrows were heavy, and there was no emotion in her dark pupils:
"I'm sure you already know that there are no rewards for the main quests of this game. When you survive a dungeon, what awaits you next will be more terrifying worlds, almost... endless."
Mo Yi frowned, and keenly grasped the key words: "Almost? What do you mean?"
"Yes." Jiang Yuanrou looked at him through the rearview mirror: "There is still the possibility of escaping."
She paused and continued:
"That is to complete the hidden missions and get points. With enough points, you will be eligible to redeem and leave this horrible reincarnation, but... the permissions of the store are gradually opened up. The more points you have, the more products you can display , Unfortunately, my points are not enough, so I still don't know how much I need to redeem the qualification to leave the game."
Mo Yi nodded, suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked:
"Since your authority is not enough to open this product, how do you know it really exists?"
Jiang Yuanrou tightened his hand holding the steering wheel without any trace, and replied:
"It's...a friend of mine. He has a lot of experience. This is the information he gave me. However, in the last copy, he fell into it."
Mo Yi is not very good at this kind of situation. After thinking hard for a long time, he can only squeeze out two words: "...sorry."
Jiang Yuanrou smiled, and continued with what he just said:
"If there are not enough points, the players will end up like this sooner or later.
As long as the points are exchanged for props, you can choose who to enter the instance with, and there will be points for completing or assisting in completing hidden tasks, so I hope to cooperate with you - this is the most efficient way to complete the task. "
She did speak clearly about her calculations and thoughts. Obviously, Jiang Yuanrou knew that the best choice was to talk to a smart person with a clear mind, to be open and honest, and to be outspoken.
Mo Yi rubbed his index finger knuckles lightly, looking thoughtfully at the fleeting light reflected on the car window, there was no ripple in his dark pupils.
He suddenly asked, "Has anyone ever escaped?"
Jiang Yuanrou was silent for a while, and then replied: "Yes. However, many rules and permissions in this game are linked to points. If you do not meet the points requirements, you will not be able to access relevant information."
The implication is that she does not know more information.
At this moment, Jiang Yuanrou's car slowed down, and then stopped slowly.
Mo Yi looked out the window and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: "Where is this place?"
Jiang Yuanrou didn't answer directly, but showed him a sweet smile from the rearview mirror:
"I heard from Yuan Bai that your physique is not very good? I'm afraid it's a little lack of exercise? And you plan to become a lifelong fitness member?"
Mo Yi: "..."
—Is it too late for him to regret it now
