After school, Yeats grabbed Du Ruoying enthusiastically: "Xiaoying, Xiaoying, why don't you go shopping together? There is a new online celebrity bookstore in Binhe Road. I really want to go and see it."

Du Ruoying gently pushed Ye Zhi away from holding her hands: "Sorry, I have something to do today, so I won't accompany you."

Yeats looked at her with some disappointment, and sighed softly: "Is it because of Professor William?" Seeing that Du Ruoying was silent, she raised her hand to smooth the broken hair beside her ear, and said helplessly, " You are too unkind, my best friend actually has to rely on the news to find out about your love affair."

"I'm sorry..." Du Ruoying smiled apologetically.

"You, you," Yeats pampered her soft little face, and said angrily and distressedly, "In short, you have to protect yourself. Foreigners have different ideas from ours on some things, and they are responsible. The heart is not that heavy. So, you must not wrong yourself, do you hear me?"

"Uh-huh."

"Professor William seems to be a very gentleman. I heard that he resigned because of you... But I'm still worried." Yeats said, "If he bullies you, tell us, Brother Huai and I will help you beat him."

"Okay, okay," Du Ruoying felt that her heart was suddenly touched when she saw the other party's serious expression, but she still said to Yeats in a relaxed and cheerful tone, "Okay, let's stop talking, you If you continue nagging, you will almost become my old mother."

"Okay, I won't nag you anymore." Yeats turned his face away in displeasure, and said with a pouted mouth, "Hmph, a guy who forgets his friends after falling in love, doesn't want to spend a second on I'm here, am I?"

There were a lot of words she wanted to explain in her chest, but she couldn't say a word at this moment. After Du Ruoying hesitated for a while, she finally smiled and said goodbye to her.

The sun at ten o'clock in the morning made the concrete road hot and white, and the birch trees on the side of the road cast two rows of cool shadows, which seemed to have some kind of mysterious magnetic force, attracting people to approach.All the students coming and going on the whole Qinxue Road hid in the shade of the trees and walked.

"When the light is so strong that it makes people uncomfortable, is the shadow more attractive?"

Seeing this scene, Du Ruoying silently chose to walk alone on the exposed road.She doesn't want to be near the shade.To her, that comforting darkness reminded her too much of Moriarty, that malicious guy.

She raised her hand to support her sun hat to block the dazzling sunlight in front of her eyes, and then walked firmly towards a rental apartment outside the west gate.

Beiyu University Jiucun, Room 216, Unit [-], Building [-], where "that person" lives.

Although the door was ajar, she knocked politely: "Comrade Bai Qirun, are you still alive? Your takeaway has arrived. If you are still alive, come and get it."

After a rustle in the room passed, the door opened, and a boy with thick dark circles poked his head out, his eyes had to be squinted because he was afraid of the sun: "It's you... just can't get in, just have to Shall I come and open the door for you?"

It can be seen through the crack of the door that this boy is wearing a dirty low-necked white T-shirt, and his overly fair skin can be vaguely recognized, which is a kind of sickly whiteness caused by the lack of sunlight for a long time.He is tall and thin, with a slightly hunched back, and a pair of bare feet with distinct knuckles.Under the disheveled hair, there was a pretty face, but he didn't cherish it. The long-term staying up late had completely broken down his spirit.

"I don't dare to repeat the same mistakes again. Who knows what new mechanism you have installed at the door." Du Ruoying said, raising her hand to bring a bag of steaming food in front of him, "Here, I brought it for you." .”

This scent made his eyelids slightly rise: "Wow, it's Feng Yuanxiang's fried chicken wings, and this store is still not closed."

"...Isn't this restaurant your favorite?" She said speechlessly.

"Yeah, but it's too stupid to deliver food. In this day and age, if you don't deliver food, who can eat it? I think it will go bankrupt sooner or later." Bai Qirun took the chicken wings, opened the door and let her in. .

"The reason why I don't want to deliver food is because I pay attention to quality. This kind of fried chicken food will not taste good after a little longer." Du Ruoying said, "I really appreciate its choice."

"Go ahead, close down sooner or later." He said nonchalantly, "Tell me, what can you do for me, data recovery or virus detection? I can give you a friendly price."

"As the saying goes, friendship is priceless. Round it up, and it's free."

"...What's your name? Do you know what you call 'instant noodles with goji berry—self-deception'?" Bai Qirun lazily nestled back on his e-sports recliner, ate fried chicken wings, and ignored her.

"All right, all right, if you can solve this problem, I'll give you all my property." Du Ruoying said, looking at the messy living room in front of her.

If a person was knocked out and thrown here, and woke up and suddenly opened his eyes, he would definitely not be able to tell that this was a living room.All the walls were covered by computer monitors, and even the windows that should have been were completely blocked.The whole room was completely shrouded in the faint blue light of the screen, as dim as a deserted basement.Empty beer cans and instant noodle boxes were piled up everywhere on the floor of the living room, and there was nowhere to go. A clump of small mushrooms even grew out of one of the instant noodle boxes.

The faint smell of alcohol and the smell caused by the long-term lack of ventilation made her pinch her nose tightly: "It seems that you have been very depressed after breaking up, Brother Run."

"Don't make it sound like I've been dumped, okay? I'm the one who broke up." With a chicken wing in his mouth, he lazily tapped on the keyboard, "Tell me what the hell is going to cost you all your money. Things are not easy, are they?"

Du Ruoying handed over a wet wipe and said, "Wipe your hands first, and the keyboard...then check my phone for me..."

"...a lot of things." He gave her a blank look, but obediently followed suit, "What's wrong with the phone? Don't rich people like you usually solve all mentally handicapped problems by getting a new phone?"

Uncharacteristically, she didn't get angry or argue, but asked very seriously: "Do you believe in the existence of supernatural phenomena? Resurrection... something like that."

"Believe it, why don't you believe it?" Bai Qirun replied very easily, "Human beings have been praising 'light' as God's creation thousands of years ago, but they haven't figured out what it is. Science, explain There are too many things that can’t be done, and then they will all be labeled as supernatural?” He looked at her dignified expression, and suddenly became interested, “Oh, it seems that you have brought a good mystery this time. ah?"

"It's like this, I received a strange WeChat on my phone one day..." Du Ruoying explained the whole story to him word by word, and finally said, "I hope you can help me find out who developed this system." Yes, better find a way to break it."

"OK, give me your phone." He held out his hand to her with great interest, "Leave me here for a day, no problem? You can just take a spare phone from me and use it."

"no problem."

"Okay, you can go." After the host computer was connected to the mobile phone, his eyes were fixed on the densely packed codes on the screen, and he never moved away. The spirit of the whole person seemed to be extremely excited.Now, for him, her presence has become a kind of interruption instead. Looking at the continuously flowing decoded pictures on the screen, he can't help but show appreciation, "This system is designed well, it's complicated enough, I like……"

Du Ruoying picked a spare machine from a cardboard box next to the computer desk, inserted a phone card into it and turned it on.At the same time, the screen full of codes on Bai Qirun's side suddenly disappeared.

"Ah." Both of them realized the problem.

Just like what happened to Du Ruoying last time when she threw away her old phone and replaced it with a new one, like a lingering ghost, the system would run into her new phone.About the same this time.

"Resurrection system—won't it go to the backup machine now?" Bai Qirun reached out and snatched her backup machine, and reconnected to the computer. Looking at the flickering screen, he rubbed his chin and sighed softly. , "Sure enough... this is really interesting..."

"Then what should I do?" Du Ruoying, who had no mobile phone, asked blankly.

"This system recognizes the master," Bai Qirun explained calmly while operating the mouse and keyboard at high speed, "so if you want me to study this thing, you have to stay here."

"I still have to keep an eye on the other side. It's impossible to come here all the time." She changed the calling card back and said helplessly, "Then unless I come here in the middle of the night, I'll find a way..."

"Whatever you want." Bai Qirun shrugged and smiled.

After the phone was turned on again, she realized that she had received two text messages from the bank not long ago, all of which were reminders for transfer and remittance. The corresponding bank card number ending in the text messages was 0401, which was William's card number.The information showed that William's account received [-] yuan an hour ago, and then, half an hour ago, the [-] yuan was transferred to another completely unknown account.

"What the hell is this guy doing?"

Du Ruoying's heart sank when she saw the text message, and then she raised her mobile phone and said to Bai Qirun, "Help me find out who the two bank accounts ending in 5112 and 7316 belong to."

"I don't do such illegal things." He refused very simply.

"Do you still do few illegal things, and this one is missing?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't done anything."

She took a deep breath, then smiled and said, "Don't think I don't know, you hacked the school's system last semester and changed your grade point, right? As long as I go to the teachers of each subject to verify the paper materials, it will be very easy. It will be found out soon."

"...Damn it, how did you know?" Bai Qirun's eyes widened in surprise.

"Peiyu University's usual grades account for half of the total grades, and the grades are mainly based on the rate of class attendance. With your Buddhist status, which never goes to lectures, how can you pass every class?"

"Those classes at school are all rubbish. You can't learn anything. What's so good about it? A group of repeaters who read PPT. I don't want to be wasted by them."

"Don't change the subject, just say whether you can do it or not?"

"Damn, Du Ruoying, you're really dark enough... Do you believe that I will pull out all the secrets in your phone, and then shake them out?" Bai Qirun was obviously a little angry.

"I don't have any shady secrets in my phone." She said frankly.

At this time, there was a slight electrical crackle at the door, which made their quarrel stop.Bai Qirun looked up at the monitor screen on the upper right, and found a foreigner with blond hair and red eyes standing at the door of 216 with a pained expression on his face.

Seeing Du Ruoying staring at the monitor with a dazed face, Bai Qirun laughed gloatingly: "I made some changes to the door. Lying on the wall for more than a limited time will trigger a hidden electric switch. It seems that he is outside the door Been eavesdropping for at least 10 minutes."

Du Ruoying had no choice but to put the phone back in her pocket, then went out, and asked William in a cold voice, "Why are you here?"

"I saw Xiaoying didn't come to the library to find me after school, so I was a little worried." He smiled calmly, as if he hadn't been shocked at all.

"Then—how do you know I'm here?"

"If you ask me all the way, you will know." He spread his hands and said, "Does Xiaoying think that she has some anti-tracking ability?"

"Oh, someone who has been calculated by the agency has no right to laugh at me." Du Ruoying said, and then shouted to Bai Qirun in the room, "Don't worry about the account in advance, you just think about the system. I I'll come find you another day."

Following her shout, William looked through the dark and dark corridor, and saw a teenager nestled in a gaming chair in the room at the end.The boy raised his eyes to meet his gaze, and his obsidian-like eyes showed a kind of morbid smile to him unabashedly.

For the first time in his life, William felt an elusive crisis. Before he had time to recognize its appearance, it was already close in front of his eyes.

A gust of wind slowly closed the door, and finally, it cut off the two people's gaze.

On the way back to school, Du Ruoying raised her face and looked at William and said, "By the way, why did you suddenly receive money from your bank card?"

Unexpectedly, she actually knew about his funds, which made William's eyes flash with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure: "I met a few students who were talking about math problems in the morning, and they wanted to hire me to guide them to participate in the competition. International mathematics competition, this is the hire money."

"...Well, I can barely accept this side job." She breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why was the bride price transferred to another account?"

"Well..." He showed a meaningful smile, "The answer to this question is waiting for Xiaoying to find out by yourself."
