404 No City Found

When they woke up the next day, at six o'clock in the morning, everyone received a video message on their mobile phones from Wang Zhi, the blue digital villain.

"I believe everyone is aware of the chaos last night," said Wang Zhi, who had a bigger pair of glasses on his nose than last time, and put his rough-painted hands together in a contemplative state, "This is a malicious invasion." Behavior, our main brain was attacked by the network outside the city at [-]:[-], all command functions were paralyzed, and the other party released some false information on the screen in Clock Square."

Kang Tu just woke up, still a little sleepy, he squinted his eyes and continued watching under the quilt.

Wang Zhi: "You are all successful in various fields. I believe you have your own judgments. I won't repeat myself again. Since you stepped into [-], although you were unwilling, it is still undeniable that [-]'s elite training mechanism has You are even better, you have grown at an astonishing speed, and your mind and will have been honed, which cannot be obtained outside. I believe that if one day walks out of [-], that person must be a dragon and phoenix among people. In my own time, wouldn't it be more like a fish in water?"

Kang Tu turned over and woke up a little bit. He pressed the screen and dropped the notification bar. It is now [-]:[-], and Zhao Zheng will come over at some point.

On the screen, Wang Zhi was still talking: "In the past 30 years, [-] has made every effort to create more favorable conditions for you, judge every task fairly and justly, and evaluate everyone's development. Be comfortable and secure."

This was farting. Kang Tu was so angry when he heard it that he didn't want to read it. He asked Zhao Zheng to tell him the key points after reading it, but he found that there was no way to quit, and the fork in the upper right corner turned gray.

"Every one of us will encounter times when we are at a loss in our lives," Wang Zhi said. "It is normal for you to have doubts in your heart, but we have been side by side for more than [-] years. Should we be shaken by this sudden appearance? Everyone should choose carefully."

"Whoever will shake the world with his voice will be silent for a long time; whoever will ignite the lightning will be adrift like a cloud for a long time." Wang Zhi said, "You walk in the dark and lie dormant for a long time, and you will be in dormancy To attain serenity and greatness, in the grind of day after day, waiting for the moment of unsheathing."

Kang Tu suddenly felt that something was wrong, the focus of the conversation changed unknowingly, and Wang Zhi's voice gradually became deep and gentle, like a whisper in the ear.He moved uneasily on the bed, and Qiongqi's figure was reflected on the transparent wardrobe next to the bed, its eyes glowed with greenish light, as if it was watching him.

Wang Zhi said: "Now, you can temporarily put down all these burdens, relax for a while, and gradually forget these difficult problems that bother you. Just imagine...you are on top of a cloud, and your recent All pain is thrown from the sky..."

It's a hypnosis.Kang Tu woke up in vain.

He knew that the reason why he was able to realize that it was hypnosis was because hypnosis was useless to him, but what he didn't know was how he should pretend that he was hypnotized, Qiongqi must be watching him, if there was anything strange It must be reported soon, and then it will be over.

Kang Tu's palms were sweating quickly, and his heart was pounding. At this moment, Wang Zhi gave him an instruction: "Now, you can close your eyes and recall what happened last night. Every detail , every sentence..."

Kang Tu then slowly closed his eyes. He tried his best to pretend to be calm. Wang Zhi said: "These memories trouble you and are the source of pain. Now, imagine yourself standing on top of the clouds. The soft clouds... are blue. The sky, caressed by the breeze, you pack up these memories ... throw them away one by one."

"A month ago, a terrifying killer appeared in [-] and killed two of our team members in a row. Yesterday, the killer issued a killing notice on the clock square of [-]. The management of [-] urgently took measures to ensure everyone's safety. curfew policy. Today is the first day of curfew."

With a re-fabricated memory, Kang Tu gradually understood his purpose.

"Loyalty to the rules brings security, and rebellion will inevitably bring suffering. My children, only ignorance is your only escape. Be loyal to me, loyal to [-], and I will save you.

"Now at this moment, you can enjoy a short period of freedom of thought. After 2 minutes, you will wake up. After waking up, you will be a brand new you, relaxed, calm and obedient."

The video ended and the sound stopped abruptly. Qiongqi flapped his wings and flew to Kang Tu's pillow, staring at him with wide eyes. Kang Tu tightly clenched his left hand under the quilt, counting his breaths , slowly released the phone with his right hand, dropped it on the pillow, and tilted his head as if he was in a deep sleep.Relax, relax, success or failure depends on it, Qiongqi seemed to feel something was wrong, tilted his head and moved forward, almost touching Kang Tu's face, at this moment, Kang Tu's cell phone rang suddenly.

The cheerful alarm sound kept repeating. It was [-]:[-], which was the alarm clock he set last night. Qiongqi's attention was briefly attracted by the phone.

Kang Tu fell into a dilemma, to wake up or not to wake up?

Should not wake up, Kang Tu immediately made a decision, the hypnosis here cannot be dealt with with common sense, at 1:[-], he needs to pretend to be asleep for at least another minute.

This may be the longest minute that Kang Tu has ever experienced in his life. Kang Tu seemed to be disturbed and frowned slightly, but he did not wake up. After the alarm clock rang, his state was slightly adjusted and he was not so tense. The breath he had been holding back also reversed, he counted in his heart, and opened his eyes at the 1th second.

Qiongqi has already left, the alarm clock of the mobile phone has automatically stopped, and everything has returned to calm.

Kang Tu sat up, as if he had just woken up to refresh his mind, but in fact he was digesting everything just now.He remembered what Zhao Zheng hadn't finished saying last night. [-] also issued a curfew policy because two members died one after another. Is this not the first time this happened?

Some people have questioned [-], questioned hypnosis, and some have challenged the authority of [-], and other members have been very close to the truth, but all these efforts were easily cleared by a hypnosis, and start again?

Kang Tu shuddered, as if falling into an ice cellar.

When the doorbell rang, Kang Tu was stunned for a moment, got up and opened the door, Zhao Zheng was wearing the T-shirt he wore in the video last night, leaning against the doorway: "Takeaway."

Kang Tu: "What takeaway?"

Zhao Zheng kissed him and said, "Boyfriend."

Kang Tu laughed: "Morning."

He didn't know what to say to him for a while, there were surveillance everywhere, and he didn't know what he could say at this time.

Zhao Zheng still remembered that he said he would come down to find Kang Tu at six o'clock last night. He was wearing a loose T-shirt that he only wore when he was at home. Obviously he also remembered that Kang Tu said that he wanted to stay at home with him today.

Kang Tu glanced at his watch casually and said, "Didn't you say come over at six o'clock?"

"Sleep." Zhao Zheng said.

Kang Tu's heart sank slowly, as if the hypnosis had really worked. Zhao Zheng's state was better than last night, as if there was nothing bothering him.He and Zhao Zheng are together every day, and his subtle changes can't be hidden from Kang Tu.

"When will the curfew end?" Kang Tu asked tentatively.

"Wait until you catch someone, what's the matter?" Zhao Zheng glanced at him, "Why do you look so unhappy? The dormitory application will be approved in two days."

Kang Tu was indeed unhappy, but it wasn't because of this matter, he had something more to be sad about.

Zhao Zhengdao: "The curfew will not be lifted until the murderer catches it, otherwise there will be danger. There is nothing in the refrigerator. What will we have for breakfast?"

There is no need to try again, Zhao Zheng has forgotten everything, about hypnosis, about last night, last night's personality duplication, I don't remember.

Kang Tu touched the ring on his ring finger, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more intense. He said absently: "There are nutritional supplements, let's make do with it first, and go out to buy them at noon."

Zhao Zheng turned around and took a look at him, pulled out the chair and sat opposite him, put his elbows on the table, tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said, "What's wrong?"

Kang Tu thought, this is really a good question, what happened, why did he suddenly become like this, he was fine last night, why is he the only one who remembers all this when he wakes up?Zhao Zheng didn't remember all this, which made him feel very depressed.

Zhao Zheng said: "Because you are late today? How long did Madam wait? I won't do it next time."

"No," Kang Tu said speechlessly, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Zheng smiled, very handsome: "That's good."

He still loves me, Kang Tu thought, but he can't remember why he chose to love me in the first place. After thinking too much about illusion and reality, Kang Tu began to have sequelae, and he couldn't tell whether what happened now was real or not. real.Is everyone else waiting, or is he crazy?

If he's not crazy, something is really wrong with the world, all members of 404 have lost a memory, this memory was replaced by the killing notice issued by the boring killer, their new priority became to catch the The murderer who appeared on Clock Square.

Kang Tu once again realized the maliciousness of 404, which tried to use members to find out last night's attackers.

He still doesn't know when and where it is safe, and he can convey all this to Zhao Zheng and others without being discovered.

Kang Tu no longer dares to act rashly, he may be the only one who still retains his memory, if he is exposed, 404 may really fall into an infinite loop: what is the chance of winning, there is no chance of winning, every time he gets some clues, or It was cleared when there were just some breakthroughs.

He had been unable to figure out why a mere city like this could trap members. Now it seemed that they were pressed to start over every time they were about to win.
