How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Make a call?

Ye Cheng's whole body was shocked. He didn't look at his phone, but looked at Lao Li again.

Telephone?

"Your cell phone can make... calls?"

Ye Cheng had tried countless times during the more than 600 days of reincarnation.

No matter how he obtained a mobile phone or other communication devices, he was unable to contact the outside world.

It may be easy for others to talk to each other, but in Ye Cheng's hands it becomes a decoration.

He understood that this was also one of the game settings.

He could not go against the game settings or the rules of this virtual world.

But now...

"Haha, you'll know if you try it, brother."

Old Li looked at Ye Cheng's red eyes and trembling body, and realized that he was in love.

What does it mean to be emotional?

When a person is in extreme despair and pain, he suddenly sees a glimmer of hope.

Even if this ray of light is as faint as a match that is about to go out.

Even if this ray of light does not represent hope, does not represent the future, it only represents negligible comfort.

That person felt like he had found a treasure and was willing to give up everything to get it.

And now, what lies in front of Ye Cheng is this match that is about to go out.

To fight or not to fight.

It's all up to you!

Both parties may be very clear that once this call is made, it will be a devastating blow to Ye Cheng's Taoism that he has maintained for nearly two years.

Whether he can continue to stick to his bottom line remains to be seen.

After a moment of silence, Ye Cheng stretched out his slightly trembling hand and turned on the screen of his mobile phone.

There was a strange light in Lao Li's eyes. He stopped talking and just looked at the other person quietly.

Ye Cheng did not call home, or...

He no longer has a home.

The first call was to Lao Fu at the National Security Bureau, and he turned on the speakerphone without any hesitation.

"Beep beep..."

The call was connected as expected.

"Hey?"

From inside came Lao Fu's unique, magnetic, smoky voice.

"I, Ye Cheng!"

"Ye Cheng!"

There was an exclamation on the phone.

"Kid! Where have you been? Do you know that the whole Dragon Country is in chaos because of your disappearance?"

Lao Fu's voice was no longer deep, but high-pitched and excited.

"It's been more than two months since we contacted you that night! For more than two months, we had no information about you. It's as if you disappeared from the face of the earth."

"If Eagle Sauce hadn't insisted that he didn't use violence against you, we would have already fired at you!"

"How are you? Where have you been during this time? Oh, kid, do you really want to drive me crazy? Where are you now? Tell me quickly..."

On the phone, Lao Fu spoke incoherently.

Ye Cheng narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that I have spent two months outside of this virtual world?

Been trapped by Qin Wenjing for 60 days?

Is the speed of time flowing outside 1:10 compared to here?

Ye Cheng did not answer Lao Fu's words, but said.

"Okay! I don't have time to tell you this, Lao Fu."

"I know who he is from the photo you sent me. By the way, how is Nasa now?"

"Do you know who he is?"

Lao Fu's voice was full of surprise.

"Who is he? Nasa has already launched its second manned rocket and is preparing to launch the third! We have every reason to believe that they are going to land on the lunar surface this time, looking for some silicon-based mothership!"

"Oh! Let's not talk about that for now. Where are you?"

Ye Cheng still did not answer Lao Fu, but asked curiously.

"By the way, Old Fu! How did the interrogation of Hu Jiuer and Yang Zhao go? Did they confess anything?"

"them?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone: "We haven't found out anything yet. These two guys are too stubborn. Our people have tried every possible means..."

Snapped!

Ye Cheng actually hung up the phone directly.

"Brother, this is...too fake!?"

He raised his head and looked at Lao Li across the table with some annoyance.

Hu Jiuer and Yang Zhao had already been released by Guoan and joined Chen Bu's team to help him.

This news was known only to a few people and was kept highly secret.

Area 51 would never know this information.

So Ye Cheng asked casually, and the result was obvious.

The old Fu just now is still a bunch of data in the virtual world.

Old Li obviously didn't expect Ye Cheng to suddenly hang up the phone, and he smiled when he heard it.

"Oh? Is it fake?"

"It's fake. Very fake."

Ye Cheng sighed, with undisguised disappointment on his face.

Old Li continued, "Haha, whether it's true or not, didn't you know it a long time ago?"

"Brother, are you still calling? If not, I'll put it away, okay?"

As he spoke, Lao Li tried to put away the phone on the dining table.

"beat!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Cheng still held the phone tightly in his hand, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"It's been two years! Almost two years! I haven't heard my mother's...voice. I'm calling you...!"

"Please."

Old Li smiled and continued to sit opposite Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng took a deep breath, turned on the screen again, and dialed the number that he would never forget.

"Beep beep..."

"Hey?"

"Who?"

After a moment, a cautious voice came from the phone.

Ye Cheng's eyes were red again, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

He took a deep breath and tried his best to keep his voice from trembling.

"mom……"

"Xiaocheng! Is that you? Xiaocheng?"

"It's me, Mom!"

Hot tears rolled down, Ye Cheng took a deep breath, and even grabbed the dining table with both hands to stop himself from trembling.

"Xiao Cheng, where have you been? Mom asked everyone, but no one knows where you are!"

"Mom is lying alone in the hospital, so lonely! Son!"

"Come back, son! Come back and stay with mom, okay?"

"Someone told mom that you will be back soon, and you will bring Qinghe with you."

"But you...why haven't you come back yet...son!"

"Come back, nothing else matters. I will only feel relieved if you live well..."

"..."

Li Xiulan's sobbing could be heard on the phone, and Ye Cheng felt heartbroken.

How could he not understand that this was fake!

It is a bunch of simulated and synthesized AI data.

But when the false is true, the true is also false; when there is nothing, there is something and when there is nothing!

Aren’t these words what my mother most wants to say outside of the virtual world?

Perhaps, my mother, who has been strong all her life, will never tell Ye Cheng these thoughts.

Not only does it expose a mother's extreme pain, but it also makes her son worried outside.

But once it is expressed through virtual data, how great an impact will it have on Ye Cheng?

At this moment, Ye Cheng felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart and he was struck by lightning.

He just wanted to escape from the illusion immediately, return to Dragon Kingdom, and stay with his mother.

but……

"Mom! Son, I have something to do and will be back soon! Please wait for me, wait for me...Mom!"

Ye Cheng hung up the phone quickly without waiting for a response.

This made Old Li, who was sitting opposite, look moved.

"Brother, you..."

"No need to say it!"

Ye Cheng actually took out a pistol from his arms, loaded it and put it against Lao Li's forehead.

"Tell me how to leave this illusion other than surrendering!"

"Otherwise I'll just kill you."

"Tomorrow... No! Today, today, today!"

"I will appear in front of you again and again and interrogate you!"

"Even if I am suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, five thousand years! I...will not hesitate!"

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Lao Li was not panicked at all, but instead laughed with his head raised.

"Hahaha!"

"Brother, brother, I have to admit that I underestimated you!"

"Can't the power of love and family stop you from fulfilling your mission?"

"Tell me! Tell me!!!"

Ye Cheng was no longer impatient and slowly pulled the trigger with his index finger.

At worst, I can start all over again.

Old Li laughed for a while and then sighed.

"That's fine!"

"Brother, you and I have been drinking together. I would be sorry if I don't reveal something to you."

"Brother, let me give you one last word..."

“Maybe, the way home is right in front of you!”

hum!

Ye Cheng’s head exploded.

The way home is right in front of me?
