Because there was another new message, before leaving the house, Lin Heng took the phone out of his pocket again.Lu You stayed in the dark for a while, and saw the sun again, and saw the scene outside the bedroom.

Lu You used to think that Lin Heng lived alone, but now it seems that he should have a roommate, who may be shared.The layout of the room is similar to the kind of postgraduate dormitory where two people live, sharing the kitchen, living room and balcony, and their respective bedrooms are symmetrically arranged on both sides.After Lin Heng changed his shoes, he stood at the door to answer the message, and Lu You was able to take a good look at the layout of the house.

Neither of the two people who lived here probably thought of a situation where friends would come to visit.There are only two pairs of slippers on the shoe rack at the door, and there are only two chairs by the dining table. The sofa facing the TV behind the coffee table is made up of two small sofas that are close together.When Lu You saw that there were actually two calendars hanging on the wall, he suspected that Lin Heng and his roommate might not have a good relationship...

Lin Heng calculated the time to set off, and didn't delay in replying to the message. A few minutes later, he turned off the conversation and was about to go out. He held the phone in his hand and didn't put it back in his pocket.At first, Lu You was still paying attention to the situation in the corridor, but later he was a little dizzy with the shaking of Lin Heng's vision, so he fixed his gaze on his fingers, only listening to the surrounding voices, occasionally quickly glanced over.

Lin Heng's way of traveling is quite environmentally friendly. He walks out, gets on the tram at the station at the gate of the community, and walks to the meeting place after getting off the train.Before Lu You returned to the real world, he guessed how advanced the technology outside would be if he could develop a holographic game with such a high degree of fidelity. After seeing the layout in Lin Heng’s bedroom, he didn’t expect to see something too sci-fi. scene.

The reality is the same as he guessed.The vehicles on the street and the clothes of pedestrians are not much different from the time Lu You lived in, but the sound of the vehicles is much quieter, and there is no exhaust pipe at the rear.

In this world, probably only holographic technology has developed extremely rapidly.The most future-world style on the road is those projected advertisements suspended in front of the shops on the street or among the skyscrapers. Lu You saw the solar system orbiting around a pointed tower, and the flowers and trees blooming on the top of the building. There is also a woman in a red dress who is about the height of a building and dances slowly.

Lin Heng arrived at the restaurant for the appointment at 05:30 on time. After entering the door, the light became dim.The interior of this restaurant is arranged like the seabed, the ground is decorated with sea sand and coral, and the partitions outside the seats are made in the style of a sunken ship.The waiter passing by with the plate passed directly through the middle of the coral reef, and it turned out that they were all lifelike projections.

The walls, columns, and ceiling are completely transparent, and schools of fish of various colors are swimming in the sea water behind the glass—judging from the reaction of the schools of fish disappearing wherever Lin Heng walks, these fish should be real...

Someone near the wall waved to Lin Heng.Beside the seat, the keel of the sunken ship sticks out from the sea sand, like the ribs of a dead sea beast, which has been eroded from flesh and blood, slightly bent and hugged inward.This seat is for two people, waiting at the table is a young man younger than Lin Heng, with dyed red hair, wearing a jacket with a lot of pockets and a lot of accessories, fortunately, he has bright eyebrows and bright smile , turned into another kind of handsome.After Lin Heng passed by, he avoided the hand he extended to pat his shoulder, and sat down.

"I remember you were talking about a dinner party." Lin Heng said, tapping lightly on the edge of the table with his fingertips, and there was a hint of threat in the calm and breezy atmosphere.

"The two of you are also having dinner together." Seeing that Lin Heng had sat down, the young man knew that he was just complaining casually, and replied with a smile, "I came here to help order the food. The level of this restaurant is very impressive, half of which are top-quality delicacies. , half of them are dark dishes... After ordering, I went shopping with Kaikai, remember to be gentle with our big beauty Shiyu."

He paused, pondered for a while, and then changed his mind, "Forget it, you should show your true colors. If she hasn't given up after this meal, it's probably true love. I sincerely suggest you..."

Lin Heng glanced at him, and the young man continued without changing his expression: "...Try these two signature dishes." The connection was actually seamless.He turned the menu around, poked the picture, and turned it into a three-dimensional projection of a rotating display, "Their seafood porridge and sashimi platter are definitely worth a try."

Lu You was placed at the corner of the table, looking towards the ceiling.Although I couldn't get a good look at Lin Heng's friend, his tone of voice and attitude towards getting along didn't look like one of Xiaoka, Yejing and Calamus.The anticipation of getting the proof of "Monster is Lin Heng" has come to nothing...but it's just random guessing, so it's not disappointing to fail.

Lu You studied for a while whether the curved keel above was a projection or a real thing, and then turned to the fish swimming slowly on the ceiling.The layout of this restaurant made the memory buried deep in his heart resurface: the dark deep sea, the quiet and deserted lair made of the bones of sea beasts, monsters who don't understand people's hearts... To divert attention, and for further experiments , he began to sense the mobile phones of other diners.

Now, the restaurant's wireless network is connecting him to them.

I don't know if the equipment belonging to someone other than Lin Heng can be transferred there as well...

Lu You thought about it, so he tried it.The preconceived notion of possibly being confined to this person did not materialize, and the transfer went smoothly.It’s just that after he arrived, he found that the situation of this stranger’s mobile phone seemed to be a little different from that of Lin Heng’s... All the data streams were covered with an additional layer of shimmering “shell”, and the center of the sea of ​​data was floating with a bright core.

What special program is this?Lu You approached curiously, turned around the light core, did not notice that there are countless extremely thin lines connected outside the core, and touched one of them.

"This sushi combination is also good..." The red-haired young man turned over a page of the menu, and before he could say the second half of the sentence, he was startled back by the sudden sharp beeping from the mobile phone of the customer at the side table.The voice was extremely high, loud, and harsh, and instantly made most of the people in the restaurant turn their heads there at the same time.

The guest grabbed his mobile phone, but instead of trying to stop the noise, he stood up from his seat and looked around annoyed and vigilant, as if he was sure that the culprit of the situation was hiding nearby.Immediately, several restaurant waiters ran over nervously.The red-haired young man stretched his neck to look at it, but Lin Heng's gaze turned to the other side, and landed on the mobile phone at the corner of the table: the screen of the mobile phone turned on just now when he didn't receive any new messages or was touched by anyone.

"Electronic intrusion... This triggered the outermost alarm, and it didn't even pass the first layer of defense." The red-haired young man looked at it for a long time, muttered, and turned back, "It's probably just some child who is not sensible. Just kidding," he said.

Seeing Lin Heng picking up the phone, frowning slightly and checking it over and over again, he asked: "Have you still not installed the protection program? I think you should install a few, especially if everyone else has installed it. It's not safe anymore..." As he spoke, his gaze shifted from Lin Heng to the restaurant door, and then a brighter smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to the two girls who had just entered the door and were walking towards here Wave up.

Lu You was huddling in Lin Heng's cell phone and pretending to be dead.

He was still in shock, and there was still pain in his body caused by being almost swallowed by the sudden torrent in the bright core just now, and when he tried his best to escape, he still scratched a little bit.His soul in the data world is like a small group of hazy white light without a final shape. Now there is a small gap on the edge of this group of light, and fine light spots overflow from both sides of the gap, intertwined with each other, and progress slowly. make up.

He still doesn't know that the phone is affected by his mental state fluctuations, the brightness of the screen is constantly changing slightly, and the response of the program has become confused.But Lin Heng just watched this phenomenon thoughtfully, and when he saw a program automatically jumping out and starting to run, he gently touched the screen to turn it off.

After Lu You was lightly poked by Lin Heng a few times, he recovered and the data flow passing by him was no longer disturbed, and the convulsion reaction of the mobile phone as if infected by a virus finally stopped.He hasn't practiced the ability to interpret the content of the data stream. He saw Lin Heng's expression was very calm through the camera, as if the action was just poking twice for nothing, so he thought that nothing unusual happened just now, and he secretly relieved his heart.

He moved back and forth between Lin Heng's mobile phone and computer without hindrance. He thought this was a common situation, but he didn't expect Lin Heng to be a rare weirdo who didn't install protection programs on his personal devices...

The outside world is really dangerous.Lu You sank into the depths of the data stream dejectedly, as if he had learned the mermaid's habit of sinking underwater and curling up motionless in just a few hours in the dungeon.Lin Heng's hand was very steady, and the presence of contact made him feel at ease.

Lin Heng stared at the phone for a while, and turned off the screen after making sure that the abnormality did not reappear.He paused again before putting the phone back on the corner of the table, turning off the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth access.When he finally turned his attention to the side, the smile on the face of the girl who was waiting to greet him was already a little stiff.

"Sorry." Lin Heng said, "There was something wrong just now."

The red-haired young man was winking at him vigorously, and he was relieved after hearing his explanation. "It's really worth the wait to hear you apologize." He pretended to be touched, and was nudged by his girlfriend Kaikai who was standing beside him. "Then let's go." Said the pretty short-haired Kai Kai, and exchanged a secret look with Shi Yu, "Remember to call me at night." She said sweetly.

The red-haired young man made a "come on" gesture to Lin Heng, and let his girlfriend drag him away without any resistance.

For the fact that Lin Heng was dating other girls alone, Lu You didn't feel any jealousy.After all, this girl has nothing to do with Lin Heng at present, and neither does he have anything to do with Lin Heng... He also persuaded himself to forget the little uncomfortable emotions that came out of his control as soon as possible.Compared to this, he was more curious about why Lin Heng's friends thought that the girl would "give up" after having dinner with him...

The person he met in the previous worlds, although it has not been confirmed that they are the same soul, at least in Lu You's view, they are still quite attractive... Appearance, temperament, and actions are very caring, even Sometimes it's irritating to go its own way, but when you don't understand the reason but still clumsily try to please, it will become cute again.

It was these things that fascinated him, so that he could never learn to "stop the loss in time", and he wanted to escape but continued to entangle... Lu You thought so, and suddenly felt that the screen was touched again.There was no notification sound for new news, Lin Heng just poked the screen on for no apparent reason, did nothing, and waited for it to gradually dim.

"Is Brother Lin busy today?" Shi Yu, who was sitting across from him, saw this move, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through..."

"Nothing." Lin Heng said.His eyes lingered on the darkened screen again for a while.

Weird... he thought.He didn't pretend that he needed to go online and play games frequently, and he didn't have a contact person who needed special attention and immediate response. Besides, he would be prompted when he received a message...but he just couldn't help but want to take a look and touch it, as if he was waiting for something Important news that must not be missed.

After a long and awkward silence, the appetizers arrived. "Have a nice meal," said the waiter as he put down his tray.

For the next two hours, Lin Heng's performance aroused Lu You's suspicion of "I found the wrong person", and it continued to deepen... Shi Yu tried to start a dialogue for the third time, and Lin Heng used the Lu You even felt a little sympathy when he responded with a friendly attitude, and brought to an end the topic that could have been talked about for others within two sentences...

He also noticed one more thing: Lin Heng seems to be a bit addicted to mobile phones.He didn't act impolitely to play with his mobile phone while others were talking, but he would reach out and touch the screen from time to time, as if waiting for someone to contact him.

During this meal, the only smooth communication between the two sitting face to face was when Shi Yu mentioned the appearance of the house she had dreamed about and would move into later.She basically asked Lin Heng casually, "Have you had a similar experience?" without any hope, but this time he showed a thoughtful expression.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Lin Heng said: "I have dreamed about the person I will meet in the future."

Lu You immediately concentrated his attention, which made the small light on the side of the phone flicker slightly.Lin Heng glanced at the phone at this moment, and then continued without Shi Yu asking again.

"It's in a city with no residents," he said. "All the lights are off, all the electronic screens are off... I walk on the street, and wherever I go, the lights and screens are turned on. .”

"I don't see anyone else," he whispered, "but I know he is."

After Lin Heng finished speaking, this "smooth" exchange ended. After 10 minutes, they finished the creamy seafood soup that was served at the end. Lin Heng politely helped Shiyu take her bag and sent her out of the restaurant. Dialogue with Lu You's views.

In fact, as a mobile phone at this time, his sense of the atmosphere is a little slow... For Shi Yu, he counted the number of times the people who had dinner with her looked directly at her face, and counted the times he looked at the phone screen. After several times, of course Lu You knew nothing about the self-doubt that arose. He was held in Lin Heng's hand, walked along the street for a while, and turned into a bar by the side of the road.

The signboard of this bar does not use holographic technology, only a few hand-painted black and red flames are dotted next to the words "Hellfire", which is very inconspicuous, but the space inside is much larger than the entrance.The sky had just darkened, and there were only a few scattered customers in the bar. The bartender was an uncle with a little stubble on his chin. He was wiping glasses behind the bar counter. When he saw Lin Heng coming in, he put down what he was holding.

"Long time no see, Hades." He greeted familiarly, "Why are you free to come over today... Don't you play that game?"
