The Fourth Quadrant of Online Games

Pu Yiyang had to confess to the two that he had rescued a little girl in the subway and witnessed her wearing a computer-connected device around her neck.

"So you suspect that she is a player with brain-computer access to the game, and may have suffered from 'wandering spirit' because of it," Professor Li suddenly said, and quickly fell into thinking, "What a coincidence, I recently admitted a suicidal patient. The age and experience of the patients can match what you said."

Pu Yiyang said in his heart, it's not a coincidence, that's why I came here.

He found that the other man was still staring at him with that pair of eyes, his old face was rarely so dry, and he was almost about to explain all the messy things in DELTA.

"Dong Xing, aren't you worried that you won't find the cause of the little girl's illness?" The man didn't force him anymore, turned his head, and said to Professor Li leisurely, "It just so happened that someone sent an explanation to the door."

Professor Li understood, and said to Pu Yiyang: "Student Pu, if you are free, why don't you go to the ward with us? If that girl is really who you said, and she is willing to see you, your appearance may make people feel happy. Her illness took a turn for the better."

Pu Yiyang couldn't ask for it, so he nodded immediately.

The three of them went to the psychiatric inpatient department of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiang University together. Professor Li entered the room to greet the patients, while Pu Yiyang waited outside with the man.

"It's quite heroic to save people by the subway." The man continued to look at Pu Yiyang and said suddenly.

When Pu Yiyang heard this compliment, he didn't dare to stand like a jujube tree with a crooked neck, so he straightened his spine and obediently raised his eyes to look at the man.

The man's name is Cheng Yan, which I only found out on the way here.Cheng Yan is quite well-known, and Jiang's teachers and students are well-known. There is a Professor Cheng in the Department of Biology. He has cooperated with the Jiangcheng Police Department since 20 years ago, and has solved several major cases with his professional knowledge in brain science. .Among the students, they secretly lined up the four famous professors of Jiang University, and put Cheng Yan and Lu Yuxing together. When Pu Yiyang was an undergraduate student, he even saw female students in the class argue, just to give Professor Cheng and Professor Lu Rank up and down from knowledge to appearance.

Knowing that the other party was the famous Cheng Yan, he really felt that he couldn't hide his little thoughts.Because of the possibility of catching wind and shadows, I came here specifically for the accident half a month ago, and I just happened to find the attending physician. Such a clumsy coincidence, that is, a person as kind and generous as Professor Li, will happily accept it. And brought him to the ward.But this Professor Cheng is obviously not that easy to fool. Pu Yiyang dared to bet that from the moment the man stood outside the door and heard him inquiring about wandering spirits, this man had already guessed that the role he played in this matter The role is by no means as simple as a kind passer-by who saves others.

What do you want to say?To put it bluntly, will the police directly intervene, how much will FREE be affected, and will the real black hand behind the scenes disappear without a trace?

For a moment he struggled.

But at this moment, a cell phone ring interrupted his thoughts.

Pu Yiyang took out his mobile phone to look at it, took a breath, and felt that it was even more troublesome.

Early or late, CEO Xiang insisted on calling him at this juncture.

The consequences of not answering the phone were serious enough for him to think about with his toes, so he could only smile apologetically at Cheng Yan, and wiped his sweat on his coat when he lifted the phone.

"Where are you?" Mr. Xiang threw a big problem right at his head.

Pu Yiyang said guiltily, "Uh, school?"

Xiang Hong didn't buy it: "Where is the school?"

Pu Yiyang quickly twisted his neck and looked around. If he hadn't gained a full understanding of Xiang Hong's behavior, he might really think that there is an eyeliner planted by Mr. Xiang near here.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiang Hong directly used his trump card: "Then I'll wait at the gate of your department."

Thinking of how much trouble was caused by yesterday's move, so that when he went to the laboratory today, he was surrounded by people like a giant panda. Wan asked, beg Xiang Hong to restrain his coquettishness a little, and stop making such a big commotion.

Xiang Hong was quite honest, he didn't say anything else, and he couldn't say whether he agreed to Pu Yiyang, so he just hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, the door of the ward in front of him also opened.Professor Li poked his head out, and nodded smilingly at him and Professor Cheng.

When I walked into the ward, the person sitting on the bed reading a book was the little girl I met by chance in the subway.

The girl also recognized Pu Yiyang, and when she saw him coming in, she called out, "Ah, you are the big brother who saved me!"

I haven't seen her for half a month, she cut her hair short, and she looks thinner than before, but her complexion is good, so she is probably fine.

Hearing the girl's cry, a young woman sitting by her bed immediately stood up, stepped forward excitedly, and held Pu Yiyang's hand as a thank you.

During the conversation, I learned that it was the girl's mother.The girl's name is Qian Yiyi, who just entered the second grade of junior high school. After the subway accident, she was sent to a nearby hospital for physical examination. The doctor found that she had severe visual and auditory hallucinations, so she was advised to go to the most authoritative Jiangda Hospital Affiliated Psychiatry Department. Come for medical treatment.

I don’t know if it’s a mistake or not. Although the cause of the disease has never been diagnosed, her symptoms are similar to dissociative wandering and amnesia. Therefore, the attending physician is Professor Li, who is famous for treating dissociative mental disorders.

Unexpectedly, his mother was there, so he looked like he came here to accept the gratitude. Pu Yiyang tried his best to get back to business: "Well, how is Yiyi doing recently?"

Yiyi smiled obediently: "Big brother, I'm fine. Dr. Li said I'll be able to go back to school next week."

"Don't listen to her saying it's so easy," Yiyi's mother interrupted her, and said with a sigh, "So what if you get out of the hospital, it's hard to recover from this kind of illness."

Professor Li coughed lightly beside him.

Yiyi's mother also saw the sadness on her daughter's face, turned her head away, and didn't say any more.

Pu Yiyang's eyes wandered around the hospital bed, but he didn't find the pink connecting device.

"Yiyi," he asked the girl, "did you like playing games before?"

Qian Yiyi secretly glanced at her mother, then nodded.

Pu Yiyang then asked: "Then, have you ever played DELTA?"

The girl was ignorant, so she just replied obediently: "I played."

Pu Yiyang's heartbeat quickened immediately, but other people in the room were suspicious, so he continued the topic in a chatty tone as much as possible: "I also like to play Delta. By the way, a new map was launched a while ago, what is it called Yuan Hang Star?" , have you ever played?"

To be honest, he couldn't tell whether he would prefer her to nod or shake her head.

The girl quickly told him the answer: "I have been."

Pu Yiyang involuntarily took a small step forward, lowered his head, and met the girl's eyes: "What happened there?"

The girl said timidly: "Why, why do you ask this?"

Pu Yiyang was at a loss for words for a while, and Professor Li who was standing by the side took it in a timely manner: "Yiyi, don't be nervous, the big brother just chats with you casually, and you can answer whatever you want."

His words naturally had the power to calm people's hearts, not only Qian Yiyi, but even Qian Yiyi's mother felt relieved.

"Tell big brother and Uncle Li quickly." She urged her daughter, and looked at Professor Li flatteringly, as if she trusted the authority of the attending doctor very much.

The girl whispered: "That day... I went to help the guild to make a copy."

Pu Yiyang: "Which guild?"

The girl said, "The Gomang Republic."

Pu Yiyang raised his eyebrows.Can't tell, this little girl was actually able to enter the three major guilds, and also joined the dungeon reclamation team. It seems that she was considered a serious player before.

"Did anything special happen at this time?" He continued, "It's not quite the same as usual."

At that time, there were tens of thousands of players wandering around the Star of Yuanhang. Judging from the fact that there has been no social turmoil, there are not many accidents. Qian Yiyi and Cao Yicong, the unlucky ones who played themselves into the hospital, always It can't be a random lottery for no reason.

"We...we were about to land, and the captain told me to fly forward and throw a light bomb to test the water...I did so. Then, a large black thing suddenly flew out of that planet... The girl swallowed hard, bent her legs, hugged her knees tightly, shook her head and said, "It's scary, it's really scary!"

Pu Yiyang put his hand on the quilt a little further away from the girl, and comforted him: "Yes, Yiyi, I have also been to the Star of the Voyage, and I saw the swarm of bees."

The girl said in a daze, "Have you been there too?"

Pu Yiyang smiled: "Yeah, I went with people from the Tyron Alliance. Sorry, if we meet in the game, we might fight."

The girl also showed a little smile.

"Then, do you feel very scared?" She raised her head and asked Pu Yiyang, "Those monsters are like black whirlpools, too fast, too fast, I can't avoid them, I'm so scared that I can't even move No, just...just..."

She couldn't go on anymore.

Pu Yiyang: "What's the matter?"

The girl was still staring blankly at the empty air, her pale hands and feet were like pieces of lifeless wood.

But Pu Yiyang could read the fear from her eyes, just like the swarm of bees in the darkness that day, exposing densely packed sharp teeth, scrambling to get into her pupils again, tearing her from the outside to the inside, inch by inch. Eat clean.

The answer was floating in front of him, Pu Yiyang grabbed the girl's arm: "Yiyi, did you... die that day?"

The bee swarm that encountered the star of the voyage head-on was probably the same as those of the Tyrannian Alliance.

It seemed that it took the girl several seconds to hear his words, her big eyes were wide open, her thin eyebrows were twitched together, almost without warning, her shoulders began to twitch sharply,

"I don't remember," she said, sobbing, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be playing games..."

Pu Yiyang frowned.

"What's the matter, does her illness have anything to do with playing games?" Yiyi's mother asked anxiously, "I just said, she plays that space war all day long, and kills people, the food is not good , I can’t sleep well, so something happened now, right?”

As she spoke, she stared at her sobbing daughter again, "What about you, I told you to stop playing games!"

This dealt a fatal blow to Qian Yiyi, who was on the verge of losing control of her emotions. The girl cried so hard that she was out of breath, and her thin limbs trembled uncoordinatedly in the air. Became driftwood.

"Oops," Professor Cheng, who was leaning on the side, stepped forward and lifted Pu Yiyang away from Qian Yiyi's bed, "Pseudo-epilepsy!"

Professor Li also reacted early, and Professor Cheng controlled the girl from left to right to prevent self-injury, and asked her mother and Pu Yiyang out of the ward by the way.

Outside, Yiyi's mother was still chattering and complaining to Pu Yiyang, saying how her daughter used to be excellent in character and learning until she was brought into contact with DELTA by her classmates. Since then, her grades have plummeted, and now she has even fallen into a state of mental illness.

Pu Yiyang listened silently, glanced anxiously at the closed ward door from time to time, feeling deeply guilty towards Qian Yiyi in his heart.

He underestimated the mental damage to the girl caused by the journey to the star.

"Why are you so dark about these game companies?" Qian Yiyi's mother was still complaining, her pretty face was distorted by anger, and she was beating her chest and stamping her feet like Meng Jiangnu who wanted to cry down the Great Wall. "What a good girl, she will be ruined by those scumbags who only know how to make money!"

Before Pu Yiyang had time to react, he saw a figure jumping up to the side of the corridor.

"Hello, did you just say that the FREE company made your daughter sick?" the man caught Yiyi's mother and opened her mouth to ask.

It was a young woman wearing a denim jacket and a peaked cap. Her skin was dark and her eyes were bright. She was definitely not an idler.

Yiyi's mother didn't seem to recognize her, so she stopped crying and asked a little defensively, "Who are you?"

"My name is Yang Zihua, a reporter from "Linjiang News." The woman spoke very quickly, took out a card from her pocket, flashed it in front of Yiyi's mother, and squeezed Pu Yiyang who was in the way, "I know that you are Qian Yiyi's mother. Yiyi almost had a subway accident within half a month. I was also responsible for reporting the news."

Pu Yiyang only felt that this woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

As soon as she heard that the person in front of her was a reporter, Yiyi's mother straightened her hair, straightened her back, and said in a different voice, "Then you are looking for me, what's the matter?"

Reporter Yang replied decisively: "A cute and outstanding young girl like Yiyi suddenly had an accident. I think the general public is very concerned about her situation, and especially wants to know why she is sick. I heard you just said that it has something to do with FREE ?”

"Isn't it?" Yiyi's mother regained her spirits, and said those words to Pu Yiyang in a more elegant way to reporter Yang, and finally vowed, "In addition to studying, my daughter, It’s just playing that game, if it wasn’t caused by that rubbish company, what else could it be?”

Before Reporter Yang could say anything, another voice sounded from the corridor.

"Who do you call trash?"

Pu Yiyang thought it was going to be bad, so he turned around bravely, and saw Xiang Hong standing a few steps away, looking at the three of them coldly, his handsome face was already showing black clouds over the city.
