This villain, please exercise some restraint.

The Spider's Nest incident caused quite a stir at the time.

It's not just because the holographic game that was originally claimed to be absolutely safe has in a sense brought about the spiritual destruction of a human being in the real world... even worse, it has destroyed an inspirational young man who originally had a brilliant life.

At the time, reports about this incident were overwhelming, especially when the results of the highest-level assessment came out. The scores were so high that most people could only look up to them... No, not most people at all...

A bitter smile appeared on An Xu's lips. If he remembered correctly, he had not played this game at that time. However, this incident had left a deep impression on even people who knew nothing about this game.

Because that young man had the highest score among the many people who took the highest level assessment.

He is the first.

He had no parents, came from a poor family, and had studied hard for many years. His only sister, who depended on him for everything, could not give him much help. However, he managed to defeat all his competitors with his excellent grades, and stood at the top with the highest score.

But a few days before the results were to be announced, a complaint against the holographic game "Final Fate" brought this previously unknown poor academic master into the public eye.

According to his sister, the situation of the top student at that time was that when she went to visit her brother, he was lying in the game cabin and was already showing signs of mental disorder.

And he kept talking about this game - it's so scary...

On the day when the results were available, An Xu went to watch the live broadcast of the university bully's sister. There were many people comforting her in the room at that time, but there were also some sarcastic attackers who said that the live broadcast was just to gain so-called traffic and profit from others' misfortune.

There are even malicious speculations that the so-called academic excellence experiences are fake.

He still vaguely remembered that the woman facing the camera, the academic master's sister, had a haggard face, but still entered her brother's assessment code in front of all the viewers and checked the results of this most important test for all participants.

When the scores were revealed, An Xu remembered that the comments in the live broadcast room paused for a moment, because even if some people had no idea about those scores - the ranking of the number "1" after the scores was enough to prove how outstanding this boy, who was said to have become mentally ill because of playing "Final Fate", had once been.

This incident was quite sensational at the time. Even An Xu, who usually focused on the game, had a basic understanding of what happened. Although the ending seemed to be the traditional one—

"Final Fate" is said to have given a huge amount of compensation, and because the person being compensated is no longer able to handle the compensation, it is managed by the relative of the person being compensated, that is, the sister of the academic master.

At that time, some people even said that they envied the top student, because even if the top student got the first place, the compensation, which was called "sky-high", might not be earned in his entire life.

However, most netizens envy the academic master's sister. After all, her contribution in this matter was too insignificant, but she easily controlled the right to use a huge amount of property.

An Xu was not a person who was keen on "eating melons", but he ate this melon quite completely, although... there was no twist, nor any miracle that he had hoped for.

During those days he would always subconsciously think that maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, such an outstanding person would become normal. How could a top student with such achievements suddenly become mentally ill just because of a game?

Games... Compared to studying, for these people, it's probably the easiest thing...

The not very distant memory was evoked again, and An Xu blinked, a little confused.

Now, the short boy told him that Shi Si was most likely the mastermind behind the Spider's Nest incident.

And based on his understanding of Shi Si and initial restraint, it is not impossible for him to exercise initial restraint in such a matter.

"The initial restraint... Shi Si..."

An Xu stared at the not-so-white figure and muttered to himself.

He was not unfamiliar with that figure, and there was even a moment when he felt that they could become very good friends.

And now, the white light was becoming blurred, fragile, and even more unfamiliar before his eyes.

He thought he had understood all the "evil" of the original moderation, but now it seemed that some of the hidden "evil" had appeared before his eyes.

Whether it is the original "Moderation" or the "Time" now disguised as a player, it is ultimately just a string of data, a string of unexpected data, a lifeless organism in a sense.

He had no concept of humanity, no moral concepts or codes of conduct, and he did things without regard for the consequences... He did not realize... If everything was as the short boy said -

The destruction of a person's spiritual world will bring irreversible and serious consequences to the life of someone in the real world.

so…………

An Xu closed his eyes. He felt something wet in the corners of his eyes, as if something was sliding down his face. He reached out to touch it, but in the end he only touched his wet eyelashes.

"Shi Si."

Under the slightly surprised gaze of the short boy, An Xu walked up to the boy with short white hair whose white clothes were partially soaked with blood.

This action also caused the short boy, who was about to deliver a fatal blow, to pause.

Finally, his expression softened, he sighed, and withdrew his hand.

"Shi Si, to be honest, I think... after knowing all this, I probably hate you."

An Xu said.

His words seemed unable to attract the attention of the young man in front of him. Shi Si's eyes were still staring blankly into space with obvious confusion and fear.

"I really can't understand... why I am so afraid..."

The white-haired boy was still immersed in his own world, muttering to himself.

But the increasingly paler face and the blood that could not be stopped from flowing from the corners of his mouth all indicated the passing of life.

The white-haired boy could hardly stand and was about to fall.

An Xu subconsciously reached out to support him, and what he felt was a cold hand with an obvious sense of stiffness, like... a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

This inexplicable thought in his mind made An Xu's heart skip a beat. For a moment, his originally firm idea began to waver again.

"Temperance, right? Or maybe Xi? But... I think you probably won't mind what I call you--"

An Xu turned his head and looked at the short boy standing not far away.

"Of course, you can call me whatever you want. If you like, you can call me a fool or an idiot. However, many people always call me - Boss."

The short boy smiled and had an easygoing attitude.

"Okay, then Boss, given his current state, I think even a blow filled with disgust from me would be enough to make him disappear forever, right?"

An Xu straightened his expression and asked.

"Even if you don't have any disgusting blows, it's enough."

"Even if you don't take action, he will disappear quickly, taking his evil prop with him."

"So, An Xu, I'm not in a hurry. If you have anything else to say to him, you might as well say it now, because - he will die soon."

"Although...he is suffering from his own fault now. He can't hear anything you say."

The short boy's chest was still a mess, but he spoke these words with a very sincere attitude.

Judging from his appearance alone, he seems like an... harmless, even a little cute... honest child.
