"... What can I do? After all, I was only eight years old at the time." Wen Zheliu half-closed his eyes, rolled himself up and rubbed himself on the seat. His voice was as light as a wisp of smoke due to fatigue, "Wait until I'm older. , by the time I could think of various ways to try to get the box back, he - or rather they, no longer gave me that chance."
"I had to wait until I was eighteen, until I was about to become an adult..." Wen Zheliu sighed, "For a while, I became extremely cynical, as if any reason could be used as a fuse to detonate the evil in my body. I was as violent as explosives, so I entered Nova City and found a world... a world created by fighting competition enthusiasts, where I can beat people and be beaten by people... "
He laughed vaguely, and He Qin asked: "'Club of the Brave,' is this world?"
"Yes, yes..." Wen Zheliu lowered his head, "That is a very good game world. I spend my excess energy and dangerous ideas in it, because I have to make sure that I will stay at Liu's house until ten At the age of eight, I naturally took away what belonged to me. More importantly, I did not want to become the kind of person my parents did not expect me to become. In addition to the physical inheritance, they left me more distant love. , and... there is also a gentle power. If I choose to follow my heart and let anger and hatred dominate me, I feel that I will definitely lose something more precious."
He Qin didn't speak for a long time. When he spoke again, his voice became hoarse: "...So your endurance is higher than ordinary people, but your average level is very low."
Wen Zheliu let out a dull "hmm".
"What do my parents do?" He stared at the small dark area at his feet in fascination. "They didn't let me know when they were alive, and they kept it a secret after they died. The police report only told me that they were I am an office worker in an ordinary company, but I have known since many years ago that this is not the case. Even my two greedy and short-sighted aunts and uncles understand that it is impossible for an office worker to leave me such... such incredible treasures."
He Qin's hand on the steering wheel tightened little by little in a place where Wen Zheliu couldn't see it. He whispered, "When you become an adult, maybe you will understand everything."
"There's one more thing I haven't told you." Wen Zheliu murmured, "When I was thrown in by Ceresa, the fragment also came in with me. The box containing it was numbered, and it was in the system Confidential Black Box A is displayed in the screen. After I cleared Jenny's World perfectly, the system gave me an additional system reward called Confidential Black Box B, so I suspect... "
"You suspect that it is another fragment." He Qin continued.
Wen Zheliu said: "Yes. But I didn't open the box to look at it. If it was really a prop fragment of that level, I'm afraid that its exposure would have an impact on the difficulty of the world just like Jenny."
He Qin nodded, and after not speaking for a long time, he asked Wen Zheliu: "You said you got the first fragment by drawing a lottery. What prize did you draw?"
Speaking of this, Wen Zheliu seemed to cheer up a little. He moved his body in his seat and said with a smile: "At that time, I was still running around in the Nova City looking for a job, and I only had a little bit of ability to complete the novice tasks. Money... maybe a few hundred copper coins? At that time, I was on the sky overpass in District B of Uptown A - probably near the 30th floor of the Deep Blue Library. I sat on the mechanical flying dragon and passed by, and then I saw a small A group of players gathered there, maybe five or six of them."
"I walked over and saw them surrounding an old man in a black hood. That was an NPC. He was setting up a stall there. He placed a particularly crude wooden tray in front of him, with paint on it saying that a lottery of 10 copper coins was written on it. The prizes were in a mess. Yes, it has everything, but looking at it now, it’s actually not very valuable.”
Fatigue caused Wen Zheliu to become garrulous, and he would repeat a sentence over and over again several times. He Qin just listened indulgently and patiently without interrupting him, occasionally indifferently running over the slowly squirming white flowers on the road. The figure made the car body jolt slightly.
"... That group of players wanted to take advantage of the NPC at first, but the wooden disk always turned to the 'Thank you for your patronage' section. After several times, the old man said, you can't win anything, let's go, don't waste the opportunity. The leader was particularly angry. He lifted the wooden plate and smashed it hard in front of the old man."
Hearing this, He Qin seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression immediately became a little indescribable, as if he was surprised, but also as if he could not suppress a weird smile.
"The NPC is thin and small. It seems that he is no match for that group of players. By the time the Sky Eye system notifies the nearest guards to come over, the old man will have been beaten up by them."

"So you acted bravely and went up to do justice?" He Qin couldn't help but ask.
Wen Zheliu: "Yes, I went up to break up the fight first, but they warned me to mind my own business, otherwise they would beat me up too, so I beat them up. Although I also took some punches, the result was good in the end. .”
"It seems that I have to keep a close eye on your justice." He Qin smiled helplessly.
"Then, then." Wen Zheliu said with a smile, "I picked up the wooden plate and handed it to the old man. It was not broken yet. I gave him some money and asked him to leave here quickly. The old man looked at me After looking at it for a long time, he told me that I could get one more free lottery opportunity."
He Qin said: "—You drew the fragment."
Wen Zheliu frowned and looked very confused: "Yes. He took out the box from his pocket and just said this is what you deserve. From then on, I never saw him again."
He Qin looked at the dots of lights in front of him in amusement, not knowing how to explain to him. At this moment, the outline of the distant town had already appeared at the end of the faintly winding road, and they were about to return to the small town of Melios. .
"Don't sleep, honey." He Qin said, "Look at the scenery outside, we are almost there."
Three forty in the morning, City B.
Xie Yuanyuan bowed and slipped past the groups of inhuman ghosts wandering on the street. His figure was as silent as a shadow diluted by the wind, and even the airflow carried by his clothes was so silent.
They couldn't feel him.
Xie Yuanyuan looked intently at the huge snow-white building in the distance. His shoulders and neck were slightly bent, and his spine made a smooth curve in the night wind. In addition to his almost transparent presence, he inherently knows how to hide himself in the environment. This is as natural to him as breathing and is an innate ability.
Beside the big tree, learn how each leaf whirls against the branches; be beside the stream, learn the tacit understanding of every drop of water dissolving into the water; be among the sea of people, learn the worldly and ordinary breath and expression of each person... He Always subconsciously imitating, pretending, blending into everything, and then eliminating yourself in everything.
Right now, he just needs to use this natural ability to save his teammates.
Xie Yuanyuan temporarily gave up transportation and started running in the dark. He crossed the trash can at the corner and walked through the dark alleys. Some dead people with bloody faces poked out their terrifying and ferocious faces from the darkness. He felt an unusual wind seem to pass over them, but Xie Yuanyuan kept walking, her expression never showing the slightest panic due to these cold prying eyes. Because he knew that as long as he didn't want to, they couldn't find him.
He stood in front of the hospital gate, climbed over the abandoned barbed wire and the blunted fence tips several times, stepped on the withered grass and gravel on the ground, and hurried inside.
The glass door at the entrance of the hospital had long been shattered into transparent debris scattered all over the floor, with irregular dark traces still solidified in it, like a pool of blood that had not been taken care of for a long time. As soon as Xie Yuanyuan stepped into it, he immediately felt a chill on his face, as if there was an invisible person standing in front of you, blowing gently on your face.
He shivered and ran upstairs quickly. The elevator was completely out of service. Fortunately, the marble-paved stairs were not far in front of him. Xie Yuanyuan adjusted the hidden sword tied to his wrist, took two or three steps up the half-stairs, and was about to walk towards the second floor. , he suddenly smelled a stench of disinfectant mixed with a faint fishy smell, and couldn't help but subconsciously looked up, and was immediately shocked.
In front of the door of the hall on the second floor, a female corpse was hanging with her eyes fixed on the front and her neck crooked.
Xie Yuanyuan didn't know how it was hoisted up. He only knew that his vision suddenly went dark and his mental level dropped almost intuitively!
It was a nurse who had been dead for a long time. Her face was almost as white as the wall behind it, with a pair of dark eyes. Her brown hair was dry and stuck to her scalp. Her skirt was covered in blood, even hanging in mid-air. The blue and purple insteps were covered with blood that had solidified into black.
Xie Yuanyuan stood at the top of the stairs, staring at it with his back stiffly. Behind it, there were many weird shadows crawling on the ground. He simply couldn't imagine how Li Tianyu could survive in such a ghost cave.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a heart-rending scream coming from upstairs, followed by the endless roar of bombs and thunderous gunshots!
—It must be Li Tianyu!
In an instant, Xie Yuanyuan could feel that the entire hospital and even the surrounding area were awakened by this earth-shattering movement. The female corpse in front of him bounced hard, and the twisted bones made a tooth-piercing sound. It slowly turned its neck, as if it was about to come to life. The shadows behind it also rose and fell in the dark room, revealing the rotten corpse. Fishy smell.
Can't wait any longer!
Xie Yuanyuan swallowed his throat and ran upstairs quickly. Apart from the ghostly figures surging like zombies sieging a city, he also saw a ghost pregnant woman with bent limbs at the junction of the third and fourth floors. He got in front of it. He slipped into the stairwell door on the fourth floor, picked up a piece of wood, and stuck it heavily on the door handle.
"Li Tianyu!" Amidst the intermittent gunshots and nervous hoarse screams, Xie Yuanyuan shouted loudly, regardless of the fact that the door behind him was shaken by crazy roars and impacts, "I'm coming for you, don't be afraid!"
Following the smell of gunpowder smoke, he ran into an empty archives room. There, Li Tianyu slumped under the cabinet with his whole body twitching, holding two guns, and the muzzles of the guns even exploded a high-temperature dark red. Opposite her, there was a female corpse that was almost filled with bullets. After almost three minutes of non-stop shooting, her skull was scattered in all directions. The putrid flesh and blood was splashed on the ground and ceiling. The rope hanging from him was still shaking.
Xie Yuanyuan held his breath and called softly: "...Li Tianyu?"
