play a game with me

In the second half of the night, Tan Lin completely slept with him in his arms.His wristband is in front of him, and as long as he moves, it will be patted against his chest.The temperature on Tan Lin's body came from his palm, Gu Ye felt relieved, Tan Lin was still there, he was not alone.

After waking up the next morning, Gu Ye heard the sound of pots and pans outside the door. He looked at the time, and it was probably after eight o'clock.Tan Lin is cooking in the kitchen.

Gu Ye got out of bed following the sound, walked outside the kitchen and leaned against the door frame.

Tan Lin was beating eggs. He knocked the eggs into a bowl and stirred them evenly with chopsticks. The golden egg liquid and snow-white flour were mixed together, and then poured into the electric baking pan for baking.Immediately, the smell of protein boiling in cooking oil was in the air, which is the smell of fireworks in the world.

Tan Lin saw Gu Ye coming down, looked up at him, and said, "I'm having omelette today, do you want orange juice? The orange juice is in the refrigerator."

"Well," Gu Ye sat down at the table, "I like it."

Tan Lin turned his back and cut side dishes on the chopping board.This way Gu Ye couldn't see his face.

Gu Ye walked over and hugged Tan Lin's waist from behind with both hands.

Tan Lin raised his hand and said, "Don't move, I have a knife in my hand."

"Oh," Gu Ye replied, but he refused to let go. He pressed his cheek against Tan Lin's back, and rubbed the concave curve of Tan Lin's back with the tip of his nose.

Tan Lin put down the knife, he turned his hand and tried Gu Ye's face, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Gu Ye sniffed, he didn't know why he spoke in a low voice, maybe it was because he sat on the ground with bare feet for too long yesterday.

Tan Lin took a thinly sliced ​​cucumber from the chopping board, dipped it in some prepared sauce, handed it to Gu Ye, and said, "Is it delicious?"

Gu Ye opened his mouth and ate the cucumber slices bit by bit. He touched Tan Lin's fingers with the tip of his tongue and said, "It's delicious."

Tan Lin patted Gu Ye's cheek back, and said, "Wait at the table and eat together."

"No," Gu Ye hugged him even tighter. He rested his chin on Tan Lin's shoulder, looked over Tan Lin's shoulder, and said, "What else do you want? I'll help you."

Tan Lin said: "We also need to cut up diced carrots, which look better in egg pancakes."

Gu Ye said, "I'll help you."

Tan Lin said: "Don't, I'm in a mess here, where do you go to the table, I'll be there in a while."

Tan Lin was always good-tempered towards him, Gu Ye tried Tan Lin's demeanor, but was not obedient at all.He let go of Tan Lin, and reached for the carrot on the chopping board.Turning on the faucet, the cold water rushed over the back of his hand, and then fell into the pool, forming a whirlpool.

Gu Ye paused, his eyes staring straight at the whirlpool.

The sounds of the whole world faded away in his ears, he seemed to have entered a vacuum world, the colors of the surrounding things receded a little bit in his eyes, he saw Tan Lin opened his mouth to him, but he couldn't hear his voice, A chill spread from his fingers little by little, all the way up to the back of his neck.

Tan Lin came over, he reached out and touched his face, then touched his ears, this time he finally recognized Tan Lin's voice: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Ye took a step back, away from Tan Lin's touch, "I'll go out for a while."

Gu Ye turned around and left, hurriedly took off the scarf from the hanger and put it around his neck.

Tan Lin said, "Where are you going? Shall I see you off?"

"No need." Gu Ye lowered his head, squatted down to change his shoes and tie his shoelaces, "I want to make sure of one thing."

Gu Ye waited for the elevator to reach the first floor, the scarlet figures kept jumping long distances, his face was reflected in the mirror.There is a mole on his right earlobe, but the mole is very small, like a dot, and it is usually invisible if you don't look carefully.Gu Ye looked at the mole in the mirror and pinched it with his hands. The person in the mirror did the same thing, but the direction was wrong, the same as the water flow he saw.

Vehicles kept passing by his car, and Gu Ye kept walking forward.His face was reflected in the windows of passing cars, in the mirrors of department store windows.

The naturally formed vortex is not affected by other external forces. The vortex in the northern hemisphere is counterclockwise, and the direction of the water vortex he just saw is opposite, just like his face in the mirror.

The world is a reflection in the water, everything is reversed, and he is standing at the center of the overlap.

Time passed on him, and he never stopped, never tired.

He felt a sense of powerlessness, what a beautiful dream, but he was about to wake up.Can I not wake up?So be it, spend this life peacefully with your friends and lovers, and all the sufferings are just clouds of the past.But in fact, he was floating in the air, dreaming a dream.

It was getting dark, and Gu Ye walked for a whole day, and there was a soreness in his calf, and the soreness gradually turned into pain.But he didn't want to stop at all, the feeling didn't make much sense, and the feeling was false.

He saw a light not far away, and the faint light outlined the outline of the old house and the dense creepers on the wall.

He pushed the iron door, which was ajar, and made a dull sound in the quiet night, which pierced the sky.

There were steady and solemn footsteps, one sound far away, one sound close, and then Wang Aidi appeared behind the iron gate.

Why is Wang Aidi still here? Didn't he already take him away?Gu Ye suddenly realized that the question that popped up in his mind was a bit ridiculous.

Wang Aidi still looks like an old man. He wears gold-rimmed glasses and a white coat. His old cheeks are slightly drooping, and there are some fine lines in the middle of his thin and narrow nose. The experience of being arrested has not affected him in any way, and he is still kind and friendly. , he smiled at Gu Ye in the dark night, "Gu Ye, what brought you back?"

Gu Ye said: "It's all fake, isn't it?"

According to Freud, dreams are the fulfillment of desires.Those beautiful months were just a big dream for him.

"I haven't returned to the real world at all," Gu Ye said, "From the beginning to the end, I have been in your game, haven't I?"

Wang Aidi smiled, did not deny it, but asked instead: "How did you find out?"

Gu Ye said: "Water flow, the vortex of water flow is reversed."

"Hey," Wang Aidi patted his head and said, "It's too bad that I forgot this small detail. But there is no way to do it. When doing 3D animation, the special effects of water flow are the most difficult and costly. , They didn't do a good job, and I don't blame him."

"But why? I don't understand why you say that? You obviously went back, look at the back of your hand, there are your tattoos on it; there is also that knife, the knife is useful, why do you still think that you have not returned to reality Woolen cloth?"

Wang Aidi expressed the doubts in Gu Ye's heart little by little. He smiled and said, "Do you remember how you entered the game?"

he does not know.

Gu Ye closed his eyes slightly, and he let his memories rewind continuously, going back to the day when the game started.

At eight o'clock that night, he entered the game with Xiaoding.

At five o'clock that afternoon, they saw the poster on the school bulletin board.

That evening, he was dismissed by two parents.

At noon that day, he reviewed linear algebra.

Before that?What is he doing again?

"Games..." There was a flash of lightning in Gu Ye's mind, and he opened his eyes suddenly, "I was playing a game at the time."

That day, he and his roommate were playing Werewolf Online, and after finishing the game, he went offline.

It turned out that at this moment, a pop-up box popped up in the lower right corner of the computer, and the pop-up box was a game application, inviting him to enter the game.But he was in a hurry and went offline in a hurry, so he didn't take a closer look...

Gu Ye said: "My game didn't go offline, but was directly hijacked by you, right?"

Wang Aidi looked at Gu Ye with burning eyes, he nodded in approval and said, "You remember everything."

Gu Ye clenched his fist slightly, he pursed his lips, and said, "I don't understand, why me? Why do you have to trap me here?"

Wang Aidi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are my most successful experimental product, and you are the person closest to evolution. How can I be willing to let you go?"

"This is not a reason for you to play with other people at will." Gu Ye said angrily, "Other people, do they really exist, or am I imagining them?"

He felt like he was going to be driven crazy. He couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.

Wang Aidi said: "They are actually gamers just like you."

Gu Ye said, "Where are they now?"

Wang Aidi said: "I told you, they're game over."

Gu Ye said, "Where are Xiao Ding and Tan Lin?"

Wang Aidi said: "Their experience is the same as yours. They are living in the world they desire."

Gu Ye was indignant, and said word by word: "You can't do this, treating people as test subjects."

"Don't you understand?" Wang Aidi said: "I told you that any great cause is accompanied by sacrifice."

He looked at the endless night in the distance, "This experiment can explore how the human brain works. What we are studying is the greatest secret about human beings, and this secret is hidden in us. Knowing this secret, we will find the key to human evolution , and now we feel that the subjects that are difficult to overcome will have a new direction."

He paused slightly, and said: "Do you want Dad to wake up? He can wake up, if we succeed. In this way, do you still think that what I did was a bad thing?"

Gu Ye was silent.

Wang Aidi smiled. He was very satisfied with Gu Ye's current reaction. He slowed down his voice, "Why didn't you talk? If you were given a chance to heal your relatives, would you still care about other people?"

He stood up straight, faced Gu Ye and said, "You think you are still here because I refuse to let you go back. In fact, the game is not over because you didn't find a very critical problem."

Gu Ye asked: "What's the problem?"

Wang Aidi put his hand in his trouser pocket and said, "About me."

Gu Ye didn't speak, he watched Wang Aidi's pocket tremble slightly, and his hands were trembling.

He always thought that Wang Aidi's hand shaking was because he was too emotional sometimes, so he never thought about it further.At this time, he looked at Wang Aidi's eyes through the glass lens. The whites of his eyes were slightly yellow, which was not the eyes of normal people.

Eddie Wang is sick.

Gu Ye suddenly realized what he had forgotten.

"You still failed," Gu Ye said: "No matter how nice you say, your attempt has not achieved any results. You have not made any contribution to mankind in the end."

He paused, and then said his conjecture, "It's Parkinson's, isn't it?"

Everyone in the game is no longer alive, and Wang Aidi is no exception.

His life does not give him the opportunity to continue his research, his so-called evolution is just a bunch of bubbles.

Wang Aidi's eyes dimmed a little bit.

Gu Ye said: "As a genius, the decline of intelligence is the most unbearable thing for you, so after you knew that you didn't have a long time, you designed this game, and then left your consciousness here... Maybe it's good for you. For you, it is another level of eternal life."

Wang Aidi sighed, his body became transparent, with green 1010 binary numbers on it.He said: "Congratulations, you have found the final answer."

After saying this, the numbers began to float in the air.

As the developer and founder of the game, he realized his wish, so he was content to integrate with the game he designed.

Gu Ye looked down at his body, and he found that he had also turned into a string of codes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in front of the computer desk.

The sound of silkworms creaking in summer was next to his ears. Gu Ye rubbed his eyes and sat up straight. The computer screen was still on, and a pop-up box popped up on it, with lively dynamic text effects dancing - "Game Victory! UWON!"

Xiao Jia took off the earphones and was complaining to him, saying: "Hey, Gu Dashen, how can you let others play! You let others have no game experience at all."

Xiao Yi also echoed: "That's right, don't be assigned to a different camp with him in the future, or it will be too miserable."

Xiao A and Xiao B chattered in his ear.Gu Ye gradually came back to his senses. He glanced at the time. Now he was just exiting the game, and he was about to start class.

Gu Ye looked down at the back of his hand. The ugly tattoo on it was gone. He continued to search in his trouser pocket, but he couldn't find the knife that Tan Lin gave him.

Xiao Ding was lying in front of the computer, Gu Ye went over and gave him a push, and said, "Xiao Ding."

Xiao Ding jumped very high, then looked around in a daze, and said, "Hey, what's going on? Why am I here?"

Gu Ye said: "Do you still remember what happened just now?"

Xiao Ding yawned and said, "Gu Ye, I seem to have had a very, very long dream. I dreamed that we were going to play werewolf together. I didn't expect that the eliminated players really died. How wonderful! The subject of a novel!"

Xiao A and Xiao B heard Xiao Ding's vivid narration, and immediately said: "No wonder you have such a hot game, you hung up the phone for a long time!"

Xiao yawned and said, "What, it's only been more than 20 minutes? This dream is too long."

Gu Ye turned off the computer and went back to school.

After class, the King of Glasses invited him to drink tea again, and talked about his sale of math notes. It was the first time that Gu Ye was scolded so well.

The King of Glasses said, "Use your knowledge on the right way. You're about to be a senior now. Have you thought about how you'll go in the future?"

Gu Ye nodded and said, "Think about it, I want to take the road of scientific research."

The king of glasses raised his eyebrows, and said unexpectedly: "Scientific research? Then you have to think clearly, this road is not so easy to walk."

Gu Ye had never been so clear about his intentions before, he nodded seriously and said, "I've thought it through."

The King of Glasses took a serious look at Gu Ye and said, "I have a project here, which is to make user psychoanalysis software. Are you interested? You are here, and it will count as half of your position. The money will not be less for you. You can think about it yourself." For a moment, don't rush to reply to me, take the exam tomorrow first."

Gu Ye nodded and left the office.

Everything went well in the exam. In the evening after the exam, Gu Ye received a letter containing a 5000 million check.

This is Wang Aidi's will after his illness, and the money will be donated to the first person who clears the game.

Looking at the check, Gu Ye was a little bit pained. If it was cash, he could still break it open, and save his own ideas. Now there is a whole check, and there is not even a change.

Gu Ye still donated the money.But because of the huge amount of donation, the city rewarded him with a "five good" youth pennant, plus 1 yuan, which is considered to be back.

This money became the operating fee for Lao Gu's surgery. The little doctor said that Lao Gu's body functions are very good, and the chance of waking up is very high.

Gu Ye regained control of his real world little by little, and everything was on the right track again. The only doubt was that he couldn't find Tan Lin.

The phone number used by Tan Lin in the game became empty, and Gu Ye couldn't get in touch.She decided to go to the fire station to find Lao Gu after the operation.

He was not sure whether the life Tan Lin wanted was the same as his, and whether he was included in this life.He was even worried that Tan Lin would treat this memory as a dream like Xiao Ding after he came out of the game, and then he would not remember him.

This made him a little uneasy.

That night, Gu Ye went back to school with his tutor last night, and saw a person under the shadow of a tree.He is tall and tall, with his head slightly lowered, leaning on a motorcycle, his legs casually leaning together, a silver light shining in his hand, which is the thin blade of a small knife.

Gu Ye blinked, making sure he read it correctly, walked over slowly, and subconsciously called out, "Tan Lin?"

Tan Lin turned his head back, his black eyes fell into two flames under the dim light, he pursed his lips, and looked straight at him.

Gu Ye hesitated for a moment, he stopped, and asked tentatively, "Do you still recognize me?"

Tan Lin didn't speak, he was silent for two seconds, then suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly.
