Chi Yu came to Yulin Community again, downstairs of Building 23.

The yellow warning tape had long since been removed, and no traces could be seen on the flat concrete road, leaving her with no way to deduce what happened last night.

Pedestrians passing by occasionally turn their heads to look, with curiosity, surprise, and exploration in their eyes...

Chi Yu ignored the gazes of passers-by and walked into the corridor with "Unit One" written on it.

Take the elevator all the way to the fourteenth floor.

She stood at the door of Fang Yi's house and glanced at the Spring Festival couplets posted on the left and right sides of the security door.

"The heroic spirit lasts forever and runs on new roads."

"Fly your wings and fly high to achieve your goals."

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze, took two steps forward, and knocked on the door.

Inside the house, the sound of kicking footsteps could be heard.

After the security door was opened, a woman wearing a light cyan dress with messy hair and red eyes appeared in Chi Yu's field of vision.

She looks very young, no more than thirty years old. Her beautiful face is very pale, with sadness and weakness that cannot be concealed.

"Are you..." Looking at the delicate, unfamiliar face in front of her, the woman asked doubtfully.

"Hello, aunt." Chi Yu bowed slightly, "I am Fang Yi's friend."

The woman was stunned and didn't know what to say.

In the living room facing the door, a figure that was all too familiar to Chi Yu came around.

As soon as he saw her, Fang Jinghua showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Chi Yu... why are you here?"

Without waiting for Chi Yu's answer, he said to his wife, "Let her come in."

Chi Yu noticed that when she heard his name, the woman's expression changed from suspicion to surprise, but then all her emotions were covered by strong sorrow.

Chi Yu looked away from her eyes, politely thanked her, and sat on the sofa in the living room at Fang Jinghua's invitation.

After Wen Jing closed the door, she also came over and sat down next to her husband.

"What's the matter?" Fang Jinghua asked first.

"Fang Yi..." Chi Yu saw the expressions of the two people opposite him darken at the same time.

She paused and continued: "I'm here because of Fang Yi's matter."

Fang Jinghua forced a smile: "I didn't expect... you really know each other."

What does it mean that we really know each other... Fang Yi mentioned me?

Before committing suicide by jumping off the building...did you mention me?

Facing her slightly confused look, Fang Jinghua asked without explaining, "Did she... ask you to bring us a message?"

"……Yes."

Chi Yu nodded.

"She said..." Chi Yu pursed his lower lip, "She is not strong, nor is she the most special person in the world as she thinks."

"She said that despite this, she still hopes to become a hero, have more power, and be able to help more people and do more things."

Fang Jinghua suddenly looked a little dazed, and Wen Jing couldn't help it anymore, and her tears fell down drop by drop.

Chi Yu glanced at her, lowered his eyes slightly, and continued: "She said that she actually longs for graduation and wants to become an excellent actor."

"She also said..." Chi Yu took a deep breath, "I'm really sorry for living up to your expectations."

"This silly boy..."

Wen Jing burst into tears, "This silly boy..."

Chi Yu just looked at her like this, at this mother who was almost losing control.

She couldn't say a word.

Fang Jinghua held his wife's hand, with a sad face and a trembling voice: "Xiao Yi...she didn't commit suicide, right?"

"Jumping off the building...that wasn't her own wish, was it?"

he asked repeatedly.

Last night, no one was present in the study except Fang Yi. The originally closed window was opened, and the last letter left on the desk... The police who arrived almost immediately concluded that this was a suicide. case.

But Fang Jinghua and Wen Jing didn't believe it.

They did not believe that their daughter, who had always been cheerful, positive, kind and innocent, would lose hope in life and become so painful and desperate that she would commit suicide.

Facing the almost pleading eyes of the two people opposite him, Chi Yu nodded firmly: "Yes."

"She didn't commit suicide."

"She didn't want to die."

No one wants to die, but...

Chi Yu thought of the inexplicable copy of the game, the possible mastermind behind it, Pan Zicheng, Hua Feinian, and the countless players struggling to survive in the "Egg World".

Do they know?

Do you know that it is a dangerous and cruel world?

Do you know that you may lose your life at any time?

If you know...are they afraid? Afraid? Want to escape?

Or...can I just let myself get trapped in the whirlpool and have no choice but to do anything?

"I knew it..." Wen Jing's voice was filled with sadness and indescribable relief.

Chi Yu's thoughts were interrupted.

She breathed a sigh of relief slowly, stood up and said, "I've already brought you the message, so I won't interrupt you."

Chi Yu had no idea of ​​comforting the couple. In her understanding, what they needed was not enlightenment from outsiders, but a quiet enough space.

Just as she was about to turn around, Wen Jing's voice came over: "Wait!"

Chi Yu looked back at her.

The haggard woman wiped away her tears: "Actually... Xiaoyi, she left you a letter."

"……I?"

……

On the other side, Tanling News Agency.

An ordinary-looking young man wearing a crew-neck shirt and jeans knocked on the door of an office on the second floor.

Behind him were Mo Sheng and Xia Yanzhou. The former had his hands in his pockets and looked like he was not awake. The latter looked curious, as if some rare animal lived in the office in front of him.

"Please come in." A pleasant, calm male voice sounded from inside the house.

The young man opened the door and said with a smile, "Brother Mu, thank you."

"I heard that the difficulty of this dungeon is not low. If it were me, I would probably fall into it..." The young man took two steps closer and asked curiously, "Are you writing a report?"

In front of the desk near the window, a tall and straight figure sat upright on a chair. Hearing this, he raised his head slightly and looked at several visiting colleagues.

He is very handsome, with strong features, deep eyebrows, and very beautiful gray-blue eyes. Even if he didn't speak at this time, the cold temperament exuding around him would give people an indescribable sense of oppression.

He said "hmm" and said without any fluctuations in his voice: "It takes a little effort."

This was in response to the young man's gratitude just now.

Mo Sheng walked around behind Chu Musu and was about to take a peek at the contents of the notebook, but the latter stopped writing with a nonchalant expression, closed the book, and stuffed the notebook back among a bunch of its peers.

Mo Sheng rolled his eyes, pulled up a chair and sat down next to him.

Chu Musu glanced at him: "What do you want from me?"

"Ask when you are leaving." Mo Sheng leaned back and raised his right leg, "You are not from our team. How can you calculate your salary if you stay in Jiang'an all the time? I can't afford it."
