He Zhou couldn't see anything, he couldn't even be sure if he was still lying on the ground, but he could feel raindrops falling on his face.
I don't know if it's gray or black, just a blur.
… Qiu Yanzhi.
He Zhou opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound.
"Clap."
Another raindrop fell on He Zhou's face.
Qiu Yanzhi.
He Zhou repeatedly called out his lover's name.
The raindrops seemed to fall a little harder, mixed with some warm, unknown liquid.
He Zhou's eyelashes trembled, and he finally opened his eyes.
Those gray-black, dark cloud-like colors slowly faded away, and there seemed to be a faint red glow in front of his eyes.
Immediately after.
A pair of hands appeared in front of his eyes.
A boy's hand.
The thin, pale, blue-blue blood vessels were clearly visible, and it seemed that blood beads had fallen on the boy's hand, but it was quickly stunned by the rain and slid to the ground.
He Zhou raised his head and saw a young face.
It was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with a pale complexion and a thin body, so that his clothes looked empty, and his bangs were a little long. At this moment, he was wet from the rain, so he was moved to the sides impatiently by the master. Revealing a smooth, clean forehead, clear eyes, and pale lips.
—That is what He Zhou had seen in Qin He's album... Fourteen-year-old Qiu Yanzhi.
Qiu Yan tugged at his arm, and the raindrops fell on the bridge of his nose and slid down the tip of his nose. He frowned and said with some difficulty, "Qin He, move a little too!"
There seemed to be another thunderstorm in the sky.
His whole world turned pale again.
Countless images smashed into his mind along with this thunder.
…
The dark clouds outside the window were dense, and the lightning split the night like day. The huge roar made him shiver. A child dropped the Lego in his hand and trembled all over. He finally cried in fear and sat on the ground. Shout out to mom and dad.
But no one should.
It's raining, it's sunny.
A child crawling on the ground learns to play alone.
He's bigger.
You can walk, run, jump, and not be held by your parents or hugged.
On a sunny day, when the family went to a picnic together, the mother had a bright smile on her face. When he was happy, he laughed along with him.
The mother was wearing a beautiful dress, and the father was taking pictures with a smile on his face.
Then the picture changed to a school, and a boy suddenly threw his schoolbag to the seat next to him: "There's no one here."
He shook his head, and the boy sat beside him on the table and began to sleep.
I don't know how long it took, the boy finally woke up from his sleep.
He seemed to find himself looking at him, raised his eyebrows, and looked like a cold and arrogant cat.
"My name is Xia Yuan."
"Qin He."
He Zhou heard himself say.
Turning the scene again, he saw the aloof and arrogant cat curled up, lying on the floor of the shopping mall, being violently abused by a group of people pointing at the tip of the nose, and being kicked and beaten by a woman.
He rushed up, pushed aside the group of people, pulled up Xia Yuan on the ground, and ran out towards the door.
Holding hands, they ran fast, out of the mall and into the deserted streets.
Finally stopped.
His heart seemed to be beating fast too, and he was panting heavily.
Xia Yuan gasped for breath, but suddenly shook his hand away. Xia Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Due to running, his cheeks were a little red, but now when he looked up at He Zhou, his eyes were filled with tears. Cold, Xia Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a sarcastic smile, then turned and left.
He stood there blankly, a little overwhelmed.
What follows is fragmented, cluttered memories.
High beam, rainy night, a huge truck suddenly came into view.
Blood, screams, parents who hugged tightly before death.
... The picture changed from turbulence to stability... He was pulled out of the car by Xia Yuan.
He rubbed against Xia Yuan's house.
He confessed and was rejected.
He and Xia Yuan quarreled and separated.
Then he was picked up by his grandfather.
He changed his name to Hezhou.
In fact, he was really angry with Xia Yuan.
Angry that he doesn't like himself, anger that he is cold-blooded, cold-blooded, and full of lies.
When he left with Xia Yuan, he thought about never getting along with Xia Yuan.
Not long after, he secretly ran to Xia Yuan's house to see.
Xia Yuan is not at home anymore, some people say that he went to the orphanage.
In order to please his grandson who was just getting started, my grandfather said that he would adopt Xia Yuan.
He said that it's none of my business for you to adopt him, but since grandpa went out, he couldn't help but run upstairs and look out the window.
After his grandfather's car returned, his heart stopped for a moment, and he forgot the harsh words he and Xia Yuan said when they parted. He turned around in a panic, and ran downstairs three steps at a time.
Grandpa got out of the car, holding a strange little girl in his hand.
Grandpa said with some embarrassment that Xia Yuan had been taken away by his biological father.
He pursed his lips and said nothing.
"This is the sister I adopted for you." Grandpa said cautiously.
The little girl opened her big black eyes, her face full of joy, and called out to her brother.
He nodded blankly and turned away.
"That... I found Xia Yuan's current school, do you want to transfer it to you?" Grandpa asked him from behind.
He shook his head and said no, but without taking two steps, he turned around again: "…Which school is Xia Yuan at now?"
After learning about Xia Yuan's school, he couldn't help but look at him.
Until he went to study abroad, he thought that he couldn't see Xia Yuan secretly again, and when he saw him for the last time, he secretly took a picture of Xia Yuan sleeping on the table.
After returning to China, he invested in a holographic game.
The game is called "Dream Eater", and it is adapted from a manga that has no love line but only brotherhood.
The plot-oriented game was forced to be adapted into a love game, which was naturally changed beyond recognition.
The game only bears the name of the original manga, trying to rub off the popularity of the original manga.
He Zhou was originally reluctant to invest in this game, but the game company persevered and ran to him to ask for investment. When he reluctantly watched the 3D holographic video that the game company showed him, he was fascinated by the realism of the game. Amazed.
Since he found out that the game was not as shoddy as he imagined, he immediately invested in it.
Before the game was ready to go public, he played a trial game as an investor to make the final test of this holographic game.
But unexpectedly, something happened to this test.
Because it was just a trial, he did not bind the e-banking in the game, nor did he choose any strategy tasks at the beginning.
Based on the intelligent robot in the game, the thing called Rhubarb, he explores this overly realistic game world step by step.
Before meeting the five protagonists in the game, he first learned about his identity in the game.
His name is He Zhou, he has a pair of loving parents, and he has a "Brother Qi Kang" whom he has liked since he was a child.
But this "Brother Qi Kang" is not one of the five Raiders characters.
Just one of his own character settings.
The game arranges dozens of different identities and experiences for players.
It's just that the one he got, happened to be a white moonlight in his heart.
He Zhou had seen Meng Qikang, but he didn't care, he wanted to go to play with his parents.
- This game is too realistic, so realistic that he even wants to make up for what is missing in reality.
As soon as I got out the door, it started to rain.
Because of the car accident when he was a teenager, He Zhou would feel dizzy and nauseous as long as he rides in the car on a rainy day.
He suggested to the driver to go home.
The driver was obviously stunned for a moment, but agreed, but as soon as their car turned around, a car slammed into it.
His in-game mother screamed and threw herself into his father's arms.
This in-game couple, who loved each other deeply, hugged each other in front of him until the very end of their lives.
He Zhou was left alone, with blood all over his head. Looking at all this, he opened his eyes blankly, and could hardly tell whether this was a game or reality.
His mind was chaotic, almost unconscious.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Meng Qikang open the rollover door and pulled him out of the car.
In the rainy night, Meng Qikang's face gradually overlapped with that of the fourteen-year-old boy.
Such a scene once again hit his fragile brain.
And let him completely lost in the game world.
He Zhou finally remembered everything.
He even remembered.
when the accident happened.
He saw Ye Hongyuan stumbled down from the opposite car, looked up at a blue hole in the distance, looked confused and shocked.
He Zhou even clearly remembered the five NPC protagonists shown to him by the game party before investing in that game.
Younger brother Ye Mingxu, singer Gu Xingyu, school curator Tsinghua, painter Yun Fengyu.
Also, President Ye Tongfang.
From beginning to end, there was no NPC named He Zhou.
There is no npc built according to the model of the investor.
Ye Hongyuan said this just to confuse him and confuse him, so as to cover up his true identity.
After seeing the blue hole and picking up his player's actual device, Ye Hongyuan took away his player status by accident and discovered the secret of this game world.
Ye Hongyuan changed his name and became a special "player" by holding He Zhou's physical game device, leaving his identity as a raidable character.
But the real player, He Zhou, confused the game and reality because of the car accident that happened to coincide with reality. He mistakenly thought he was the protagonist in the game, so he was trapped in the game, and because of the lack of the CEO NPC among the characters that could be attacked , and inexplicably became a substitute.
It turned out that he was not an NPC, not a model, not an imitation, nor a stand-in, but the Qin He himself who he envied and hated.
He is Qin He, but in the game, as an NPC, he falls in love with the person he liked when he was young.
He Zhou suddenly had a very strong idea.
He wanted to find Qiu Yanzhi, he wanted to tell Qiu Yanzhi everything.
But he could see nothing.
He Zhou tried hard to see something, only to finally see a glimpse of light.
There was a buzzing sound in his ears, but he heard a "ding", a crisp sound.
Footsteps sounded in the empty corridor.
He Zhou looked hard at it, and the light spots got bigger.
He dimly glimpsed a light.
The sight gradually became clearer.
Familiar, corridor furnishings, displayed in front of him.
He Zhou was a little overjoyed. He raised his foot to go to Qiu Yanzhi's apartment, but found that he couldn't control anything.
He heard footsteps stop.
A hand appeared in his sight and reached out, as if pressing his temple.
Then the hand dropped, and a Swiss Army Knife moved from left to right, and the knife snapped open, the thin blade glistening coldly in the light.
He Zhou felt cold all over.
The car accident he had been in a few minutes earlier had smashed the data-constructed body he had brought out of the game to smithereens.
After a few minutes, he was back in his own body, unable to manipulate himself.
The person who manipulated his body was Ye Hongyuan.
And Ye Hongyuan is now holding a knife and heading to Qiu Yanzhi's apartment.
When Ye Hongyuan just entered the unit building, he glanced back.
Where He Zhou died, even the blood stains disappeared.
Only some dark blue data was scattered in the air.
Ye Hongyuan curled the corners of his lips and let out a sneer.
It would be fine if he had known that he was hit and killed, why did he have to go to great lengths before.
Ye Hongyuan admitted that he just bumped into He Zhou a little too hastily, but he had no time to plan a more perfect murder plan.
He Zhou actually took control of this body when he was in a coma, and even tried to contact the group of technicians to destroy the source data about him in the game.
It may be a bit reckless to directly kill He Zhou just now, but it is the best way.
Moreover, after He Zhou died, not even a corpse was left behind.
In his current capacity, it is not easy to deal with some monitoring.
However, there is still a little trouble.
The knife in his hand circled around his fingertips again, he put the knife behind him, and rang the doorbell in front of him.
Originally, he still wanted to deal with Qiu Yanzhi for a while, but now that Qiu Yanzhi knew who he was, he had to deal with it as soon as possible.
As long as Qiu Yan is dead, no one will know his secret.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth twitched happily.
The doorbell has been ringing for two minutes.
Qiu Yanzhi might be sleeping.
Ye Hongyuan stretched out his hand and patiently pressed the doorbell again.
There was finally some noise inside the door.
Qiu Yanzhi drank the medicine before going to bed, and was very sleepy at the moment. He pulled his slippers and walked over. He opened the smart cat's eyes and asked confusedly, "Who is it?"
He Zhou's face appeared on the smart cat's eye screen.
Immediately, He Zhou's gentle voice sounded from the speaker: "It's me, I forgot to take the car key."
Qiu Yanzhi rubbed his eyes, and said, "Why do you lose everything, just open the door next time."
Qiu Yanzhi put his hand on the door panel and glanced at the corner of the wall in front of him.
... Strange, He Zhou hangs the key on the wall every time.
But why is the car key not on the wall this time, where did he put it
Qiu Yanzhi glanced at the smart cat's eye screen subconsciously, but the movement of his hand suddenly stopped.
Opposite Fei Sihao's house, there was a half-person-high vase.
Bright enough to show people.
But Qiu Yanzhi saw from the vase that He Zhou had his hand behind his back, and a knife was turning between his fingertips.
Qiu Yanzhi's Adam's apple slipped.
His hand was slowly removed from the doorknob.
"He Zhou, did you forget my birthday, so you didn't open the door yourself?" Qiu Yanzhi smiled.
"How could I forget." The man outside the door smiled.
Qiu Yanzhi said, "Then enter your password."
He Zhou shook his head, as if helpless. He pressed the combination lock with his hand, and said with a soft smile, "How could I forget your birthday."
Qiu Yanzhi suddenly became expressionless.
Ye Hongyuan entered Qiu Yanzhi's birthday based on Qiu Yanzhi's personal information in his memory, but a beep sounded on the door lock.
wrong password.
Qiu Yanzhi's icy voice came from the loudspeaker: "Ye Hongyuan, what are you doing here with me?"
The password wasn't his birthday at all, it was 666888.
On the first day He Zhou moved in, Qiu Yanzhi had already told He Zhou.
As soon as Qiu Yanzhi finished speaking, the smile on Ye Hongyuan's face froze.
He stared at the camera, there was no warmth in his eyes, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "What are you talking about? Are you still having a fever? Are you not feeling well?"
"Your knife." Qiu Yanzhi said expressionlessly, "I saw the knife in your hand."
Ye Hongyuan raised his eyebrows. He turned around and saw the huge, shiny new silver vase on the opposite side.
"It looks good."
Ye Hongyuan smiled in a low voice.
He lowered his head and touched the combination lock, thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and pressed his fingerprints.
Ding.
The door lock was opened.
Sure enough, his fingerprints were the same as those of NPC He Zhou.
There was a pleasant laugh in his throat.
The index finger of his left hand gently stroked the knife in his hand.
Then he opened the door with his right hand.
The blade swiped across his fingertips, and before he could stab the beautiful saber into his warm chest, he felt dizzy, which made him instantly stunned.
The next moment, a huge mass of dry powder was sprayed directly onto his face, his vision was blurred, the saber in his hand fell to the ground, he was choked and bent down, coughing non-stop, his mind was dazed, almost. Some suffocation.
Qiu Yanzhi kicked the saber away, then dropped the dry powder fire extinguisher in his hand, took the tie hanging on the hanger beside him, and quickly tied Ye Hongyuan's hand while coughing.
Ye Hongyuan wanted to struggle, but his body was a little weak, and the dry powder fire extinguisher was so irritating to him that he didn't even have time to cough, so he didn't have the energy to deal with Qiu Yanzhi.
Qiu Yanzhi tied Ye Hongyuan's hand, and took a tie to tie his ankle.
Ye Hongyuan could only be covered in powder, his legs and feet were bound, and he was tied to the ground like a long worm.
"Where's He Zhou?" Qiu Yanzhi kicked Ye Hongyuan.
"...cough..." Ye Hongyuan's face was covered with white dry powder. He wanted to wipe the dry powder off his face, but his hands were tied and he couldn't move. He looked up at Qiu Yanzhi and smiled, the dry powder on his face. Falling down with a rustling, "Do you think... where do you think he will be."
Qiu Yanzhi didn't know.
He Zhou should have come out of Qin He's body, but he didn't go home.
Qiu Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ye Hongyuan on the ground, turned and walked to the window, lying on his stomach and looking out.
It's dark now, the community is empty, there is no one there, only a few lamps are left, supporting each other to emit light.
He Zhou was also not downstairs.
Where did Hezhou go
Qiu Yanzhi was a little impatient.
Ye Hongyuan on the ground coughed and smiled faintly.
Very harsh.
Qiu Yanzhi slammed the window shut.
He turned around, walked in front of Ye Hongyuan, and kicked his waist: "Shut up!"
Ye Hongyuan groaned in pain, but the corners of his mouth curled up: "If you beg me, I'll tell you where He Zhou went."
Qiu Yanzhi raised his foot and stepped on his chest. He increased his strength, and the sole of his shoe rolled half a circle on his chest.
Qiu Yanzhi leaned over to look at Ye Hongyuan, his face gloomy: "Do you have room to bargain with me now?"
Ye Hongyuan looked up at him and said, "Come closer and I'll tell you where He Zhou went."
Qiu Yanzhi looked at him vigilantly.
"Dead." Ye Hongyuan laughed, "I was just hit and killed by me."
Qiu Yanzhi's eyes widened, and then he kicked Ye Hongyuan, and the cold air squeezed out of his teeth following his words: "What did you say?!"
"I said He Zhou was dead." Ye Hongyuan said with a smile, "I was bumped and he died, lying on the ground with blood all over the floor, but you say it's strange, after a while, he turned into a paragraph The data is gone."
"If he is a human." Ye Hongyuan paused and raised his eyebrows, "Isn't that what you said... the soul is flying away?"
Qiu Yanzhi wanted to scold him, beat him, and wanted him to stop lying.
But he trembled all over again.
Qiu Yanzhi crouched down, picked up the knife on the ground, and placed it on Ye Hongyuan's neck.
"You want to kill people?" Ye Hongyuan asked.
Qiu Yanzhi's voice was dry and hoarse: "Since I can kill you once, naturally I can kill you a second time."
"But this is Qin He's body." Ye Hongyuan smiled disapprovingly, "He Zhou is already dead, if you want to kill me again, are you not afraid that Qin He will never wake up again?"
He paused for a while, and his tone was a bit vile and despicable: "Killing a human for an NPC is still a human who loves you wholeheartedly, Qiu Yanzhi, can you really do it? If you can do it Just do it, kill me, and kill that Qin He's body."
"It's my body." A voice suddenly sounded in Ye Hongyuan's ear.
Ye Hongyuan froze for a moment.
He looked up and looked like Qiu Yanzhi, Qiu Yanzhi's eyes were red, his fingers trembled slightly, and the sharp blade accidentally scratched a bloodshot on his neck.
Qiu Yanzhi's mouth did not move.
Ye Hongyuan heard that voice again.
"Ye Hongyuan, what you occupied is my body, and what you stole is my identity. It's you who should be dissipated."
Hezhou
He didn't even die? And also regained memory.
Ye Hongyuan only felt that his entire brain was buzzing, and the scene in front of him gradually became blurred.
—He Zhou didn’t disappear? !
"Of course I won't disappear." The voice rang again, "I'm in my body, why should I make way for a thief."
Ye Hongyuan tried his best to open his eyes, he wanted to struggle, but found himself unable to move.
Qiu Yanzhi's hands were shaking.
He tried his best to tell himself that he should stop believing what Ye Hongyuan said—Is there still less that Ye Hongyuan lied to him
But the panic in his heart continued to spread.
... If... What if what Ye Hongyuan said was true
If... He Zhou really... disappeared.
With a shake of his hand, the saber fell to the ground.
Then Qiu Yanzhi gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, and picked up the fire extinguisher just now.
He looked at Ye Hongyuan's head.
Last time... The last time was because he smashed Ye Hongyuan's head with the vase, so He Zhou came out. He smashed it again, he smashed it again... Can He Zhou come out
Qiu Yanzhi's palm was sweating while holding the fire extinguisher.
He walked into Ye Hongyuan step by step, trying to turn him over.
… so that he could hit Ye Hongyuan on the back of the head more accurately.
"Qiu Yanzhi, it's me."
Ye Hongyuan suddenly spoke again, his eyes were clear, and the corners of his lips curved into a very shallow arc, "I just squeezed Ye Hongyuan down."
Qiu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and Yu quickly frowned and scolded: "Shut up, don't try to play tricks!"
Squeeze it down, squeeze it down, I'm so anxious to act... He hasn't started smashing yet!
"… "
The person on the ground glanced at the fire extinguisher in Qiu Yanzhi's hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The fire extinguisher in your hand can probably crush me to death."
Qiu Yanzhi blinked, and he looked down at the fire extinguisher in his hand.
… It seems, is a bit big.
Qiu Yanzhi licked his lips, put the fire extinguisher aside, and picked up the vase on the table.
This one is closer to the last weapon.
It might even increase the possibility of getting He Zhou back.
Qiu Yanzhi gritted his teeth and smashed the vase on the back of Ye Hongyuan's head.
But as soon as he pounced, the man avoided it, leaving Qiu Yanzhi pounced.
Immediately, Ye Hongyuan didn't know what to do, he broke free of the tie on his wrist, reached out and snatched the vase from Qiu Yanzhi's hand.
He took the person into his arms.
He sighed and said, "It's really me."
Qiu Yanzhi looked at him blankly: "... He... He Zhou?"
He Zhou nodded.
Qiu Yanzhi glanced at the tie that he undid and tossed aside.
blinked.
It was He Zhou, and He Zhou could break free from the rope.
For example, the time he tied He Zhou to the steering wheel, for example... Ye Hongyuan sent someone to hang He Zhou from a tall building.
"What's the matter, you, Ye Hongyuan lied to me just now that he hit you and scared me to death." Qiu Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes quickly turned red.
He Zhou said: "He did hit me with a car just now, but I didn't die, but regained my memory."
Qiu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him: "Memory, what memory?"
He Zhou stroked his hair with a smile, and was about to speak, when another voice entered his mind.
"This is Qin He's mouth!"
"Maybe it's because Qin He is in arrears with electricity bills."
"Some people are bright on the surface, but in fact they don't even pay the electricity bill behind the scenes."
"Qiu Yanzhi, no."
"Do you want to see me or Qin He?"
"You can think of me as Qin He, I won't care."
"You're with me, isn't it because I have the same face as Qin He?"
"Everyone can change. I have seen another album of his, which all collected your high school ID photos, group photos and various photos. He may really like you, but to this extent, all It's an invasion of your privacy."
"I heard from his sister that he has been going to your school to peek at you since high school."
"Not only did he peek at you, he also secretly photographed you."
"Look, he secretly photographed you when he was in high school, which shows that he has had a perverted tendency since then, and it is not surprising that he has grown up like this."
"Yes, yes, he is a well-deserved pervert. You really can't want such a person. Fortunately, you weren't with him at the time."
He Zhou: "… "
His lips trembled, too stupid to breathe.
