The Fourth Quadrant of Online Games

Pu Yiyang returned to school and found that his tutor was waiting for him.

Chang Yuan held two boxes of lunch in his hand, gave him one box, opened the other box himself, and sat down in front of him: "Are you okay?"

Pu Yiyang was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?"

Chang Yuan: "Don't play dumb, I'm asking you about the subway in the morning."

It was only then that Pu Yiyang noticed that many students in the laboratory were looking in his direction, as if a spotlight had suddenly been cast on his ten thousand-year-old transparent body.There was one with whom he usually had a good relationship, poking his computer screen in front of his sight.

It was a piece of news, accompanied by a photo, which happened to be the scene where Pu Yiyang fell to the ground with his arms around the girl.The picture clearly captured the subway whizzing by as the background, and the tension at that time was clearly visible.

Unexpectedly, there were reporters in the crowd in the morning.

Pu Yiyang scratched his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It was an accident, I just happened to catch up. The little girl was watched by the police, so I rushed to FREE without saying anything."

Probably finding that what he said was not as detailed as what was written in the news, most of the students looked away.

Chang Yuan didn't leave, he bit his chopsticks and stared at Pu Yiyang, as if he wanted to read some extra signs from his face: "Is your life going well with FREE?"

Pu Yiyang heard his heart move, and put down the chopsticks he had just picked up, a little unsure if Chang Yuan had heard something.

There was indeed worry in Chang Yuan's words: "You stayed at FREE all day yesterday. The students on the artificial intelligence side came back early."

Pu Yiyang felt relieved for a while. It turned out that the mentor had doubts because he came to him and found no one.

"After the meeting, the people from the company talked to me again," he said vaguely, emphasizing, "It's related to the project."

He didn't intend to tell others about Xiang Hong's trouble with him.With Chang Yuan's personality, if he learned that the student was being bullied outside, he might go all out and try to reason for him.Mr. Xiao Xiang has a special status and ruthless methods. A civilized person like his mentor will definitely not be able to get well in the hands of that person.

He was already in the water, so why let Chang Yuan wet his shoes again.

Chang Yuan's suspicion persisted: "Is it really voluntary?"

Pu Yiyang nodded: "It's really voluntary."

Chang Yuan was overjoyed: "I didn't expect you to be so progressive!"

Pu Yiyang: "..."

It turned out that he didn't return for a day, and he was too active.

Tears flashed in Chang Yuan's eyes, and he looked at him with a sense of relief that his son was finally promising, and put an extra braised chicken leg from his lunch box on Pu Yiyang's rice: "It's good to know that you have to work hard, but don't get tired You have to work hard with the people from FREE.”

As soon as Pu Yiyang thought that Xiang Hong was among the free people, he felt that the chicken leg was a bit hard to swallow.

Chang Yuan: "By the way, someone came to ask about you this morning."

The expression on her face was unpredictable, as if she was forcibly suppressing her inner excitement in front of the students, she pointed to an office next to her very reservedly.

The door of that office was locked all year round, and there was no one there, but today the door was slightly open.

Pu Yiyang couldn't help frowning, and quickly lowered his head, not letting Chang Yuan see his expression, and still said: "Let the teachers worry."

Chang Yuan put a hand on his arm, and said softly: "Professor Lu is very optimistic about you. Seize the opportunity, you know?"

Pu Yiyang had no choice but to say "yes".

That hand exerted a little more force, and his instructor's tone changed slightly: "Also, if you really encounter trouble, don't hold it alone, remember to tell me earlier."

Pu Yiyang raised his head in a little surprise, looked at Chang Yuan, and felt a warm current in his heart.

"After all, you are always confused, and you are often unluckier than others," Chang Yuan mercilessly poked his sore foot, "If you play games, this is called the HARD mode, right?"

Yeah.

Pu Yiyang almost pushed his head into the rice in depression.

Xiang Hong, the boss, he really wasn't sure how to survive.

After Chang Yuan left, Pu Yiyang was still a little uneasy, so he simply let go of the computer, took out a piece of paper, and started writing and drawing.

A triangle represents DELTA, and a small dot represents the voyage star.

A circle is FREE, and a hedgehog head represents that difficult boss.

A little girl stood far away.

The pen turned several times in his hand, and he wrote the word "Lu" next to FREE. After writing, the tip of the pen hung for a while, and instead of writing another name, he drew a big question mark in the middle of the screen .

The pen tip goes back and forth between the different shapes, trying to find a line that can be connected.

What happened in the past two days, if sorted out according to the timeline, he and Xiang Hong first met because of Ding Miaomiao.

The pen wrote a one on the hedgehog's head.

Then he took over the mission of the Voyage Star in DELTA.

There is a two written in the dot.

After that, he inexplicably stuffed Lu Yuxing into the project team related to FREE, and accidentally discovered that the enemy's road is narrow, and the "rival in love" turned out to be a big boss.Xiang Hong threatened to teach him a lesson. He defeated President Xiao Xiang by playing games and saved one life. This is three.After I came back, I boarded the DELTA, and finally got through the difficult dungeon, but I was tricked by a strange big brother, and I am currently being hunted down by the whole game. This is four.

Thinking of this four that fell from the sky, Pu Yi raised his head and became dizzy.

With a long sigh, the tip of the pen left the Voyage Star and FREE, and came to the little girl.

As the fifth trouble that alerted him the most, was the subway incident in the morning really just an accident?

It's easy to say if it was an accident, but if it wasn't, who was the instigator, what purpose did that person have, and was he targeting the girl or him?

The series of events that happened in the past two days seemed to be completely unrelated, but there seemed to be some connection in the dark.

If you have to say where the connection is, it seems to be just a feeling.

Someone seems to be watching him in the game, and also in the subway.Pu Yiyang has lived for 25 years. He is too low-key online and offline, and his presence is as thin as a shadow.That's why he was particularly sensitive to the sight that fell on him, because it was so abnormal.

There are too many coincidences to be coincidences, and there is only one explanation for this situation.

He was being targeted for some reason.

Assuming that Xiang Hong is the one eyeing him, the matter is tricky, but it is also quite simple.I'm afraid that this dungeon is not just a BOSS on the bright side, otherwise, how to explain the two consecutive warnings in the game?

No matter who the speaker was, combined with the consequences of his going to the Voyage Star, that person really wanted to help him, right?

At least it wasn't the same wave that was planning to kill him.

There were two invisible hands on his body, one on the left and one on the right were still tug-of-war, Pu Yiyang took a painful breath, threw away the pen and the paper with a pile of ink dots but no lines, and fell back paralyzed Fall on the seat.

God, who can tell him how a shadowy passer-by like him suddenly became a key role?

Apart from his own experience and the feeling in his heart, there is only one clue that can connect the game with reality.

The computer-connected device hanging around the girl's neck!

Pu Yi bounced vigorously, opened the webpage on the computer, and typed in a few keywords.

"Brain-computer connected online games...connected devices..." he thought while thinking, "Uh, mental problems?"

Academic search engines listed a lot of literature for him.

He selected a few articles with the highest citations and downloaded them. When he was about to fish for fish, he studied them. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and sent a short message.

"Find out some news for me." He said to the old cat.

"Looking for news? My brother, it's working time!" The old cat returned quickly, "I'm still addicted, aren't you? Are you going to pay me?"

Pu Yiyang: "It's something in the game. Have you ever heard that someone has a problem with the computer-connected device recently?"

There was silence for a while.

"What the hell is this big news? You didn't buy the equipment secretly, and what happened???" The text in the dialog box became red and bold.

Pu Yiyang: "It's not me." He added, "But you know, if there is a problem, the consequences will be very serious."

After hesitating for a moment, he pulled down the news photo in the subway from the Internet, drew a red circle on the pink device looming around the girl's neck, and sent it to Lao Mao.

This will work, especially with older cats.He knew that the old cat had a daughter of a similar age.

Sure enough, the old cat replied immediately.

"I'll help you find out right away," he didn't even add punctuation this time, "although I believe in FREE."

Believe in FREE.

Pu Yiyang put down his phone and read these words silently.

If he had a choice, he also hoped that all of this had nothing to do with FREE... at least nothing to do with the game DELTA.

In the president's office on the 39th floor of FREE.

Xiang Hong sat on the chair with his legs crossed, looking at the two men in front of him who were lowering their heads with guilt.

"What you mean is that this morning, a middle school girl happened to jump off the track because she couldn't figure it out," he put the accent on the word "just", obviously not ignorant of what happened in the morning, "and she almost got killed the kid."

The men's heads drooped even lower.

The boss personally questioned them, but they couldn't give more information than the news, which is really embarrassing.

Xiang Hong frowned, and waved to Wu Xuechun.

Wu Xuechun was holding the computer in his hand. Seeing the boss' gesture, he hurriedly handed over the news pictures that he had just called up to show Xiang Hong.

Looking at the photo, Xiang Hong tapped his fingers on the edge of the tablet, and then, as if he had discovered something, he swiped lightly on the screen with two fingers.

His eyes fell on a man next to Pu Yiyang.

The man seemed to be moving, his figure was blurred, only half of his back was exposed in the lower left corner of the photo.What Xiang Hong looked at was the small piece of skin exposed between the man's head and collar.

He zoomed in on the picture again until it couldn't get any bigger.

"You, turn around," Xiang Hongyi pointed to one of his subordinates, "lower your head and pull down your clothes."

The subordinates obeyed and did as they were told.

He glanced at the tattoo on the neck under his hand, and then compared it with the faint blue color that couldn't be seen in any shape on the picture.

The beautiful black eyes narrowed for a moment.

"Oh," Xiang Hong raised his lips, "It seems that someone is following him just like us."

Who else can use the power of the Tianlong Gang, and without his knowledge, look at Jiangcheng?

On the one hand, Wu Xuechun probably guessed something from Xiang Hong's actions, his already pale face became even paler, and he lowered his head.

Xiang Hong really called his name, but his tone was quite normal: "Ah Chun, what did you come to see me for?"

Unexpectedly, he changed the subject again, Wu Xuechun was startled, and then replied: "Boss, I just want to say that Miss Ding is expected to fly back to England today."

Xiang Hong's expression changed: "When?"

Wu Xuechun: "It should still be at the airport."

Xiang Hong was silent.

Wu Xuechun: "Boss, are you going to see Miss Ding off?"

Xiang Hong closed his eyes, but said, "Where's the kid, have you gone?"

Wu Xuechun was taken aback, and replied: "Mr. Pu went back to Jiang University just now, it seems that he doesn't intend to go to the airport."

Xiang Hong snorted softly, "He's relieved."

Seeing that the boss didn't seem angry, nor did he seem to take advantage of the situation and plan to chase Ding Miaomiao back, on the contrary, he seemed quite happy, Wu Xuechun was a little confused.

"Ah Chun, tell me, if that kid is also dumped, wouldn't that count as my loss?" Xiang Hong actually said it openly, with a look of gloating, "I see him Like that, it will be over sooner or later, hahahahaha..."

Wu Xuechun: "..."

Why does he feel that his boss cares more about this love rival than a girl?

After Xiang Hong finished laughing, he pointed to the other two stunned subordinates: "You two don't just stand there stupidly, continue to keep a close eye on me. What happened in the morning is not allowed to happen again. Do you understand? ?”

Now not only Wu Xuechun, but everyone can understand the meaning of the boss.

Pu Yiyang is of extraordinary significance to their boss right now, and his priority has already surpassed that girl Ding.
