play a game with me

The game has started.This time Eddie used a cunning method.He lied to Tan Lin that Gu Ye had already entered the game; then he lied to Gu Ye that Tan Lin had already entered the game.Both sides lied, and finally tricked the two of them together.

There were only three of them in this round of the game, and the number of people playing the werewolf killing game was far from enough, and Eddie didn't intend to continue playing the game.Before leaving the secret room, Eddie said to them: "Good luck to you. You can move freely in the hospital this round, or you can leave the hospital, leave here, and go wherever you want." He pushed the bridge of his nose Putting on the gold-rimmed glasses, he paused slightly, "You can even go home."

It may sound like a tempting invitation to get out of here, but the game scene has boundaries.The game is built according to Eddie's perception, the place that exists must be where Eddie has been, and they know little about Eddie, they want to go back to school, but Eddie must have been to their school, if not, there is The boundaries of the game.

Gu Ye looked down at the three green lines on the back of his hand. He silently calculated in his heart that now they are in the third round of the game, which is the third world, and the scenes around them are infinitely overlapping with the real world.No matter how similar these scenes are to reality, they must always stay awake and remind themselves over and over again in the midst of both reality and fantasy—they have not returned to reality.

Xiao Ding asked Gu Ye, "What should we do now? Start looking for clues?"

Gu Ye nodded, he was about to say what to do now, but suddenly felt something was wrong.He frowned, his stomach convulsed violently, as if he had been pinched by hands and then pulled down, and then a sour and bitter liquid flowed up the esophagus and bubbled up to his throat, followed by a mouthful Blood with the smell of copper spurted out of his mouth.

"My God!" Xiao Ding was so frightened that he screamed again and again.

All right, why do I suddenly vomit blood?

A wave of more severe pain rolled over. Gu Ye felt that his whole body was weak, his legs couldn't move his strength, as if he was stepping on mid-air, his body was trembling, and then he leaned forward suddenly, almost Fell to the ground.

One arm hooked his waist, Tan Lin rested his chin on his shoulder, and then wrapped the other arm around his waist, supporting him firmly.The gesture is a bit like a long-lost reunion hug.However, the hugger was not happy at all, his complexion was ashen, his whole body was as tight as a straight steel, and the two hugging arms trembled slightly.At this moment, Tan Lin only had one thought, what happened to him when he was not around?

Gu Ye himself didn't understand what was going on for a while.He has always been in good health, he is not so delicate, eats well, sleeps soundly, at least when he has too many teaching hours, he does not take care of eating day and night, and his stomach will throb.But he never cared about it, because it was very rare.

"Did you get hit by a gun just now, or, or eat instant noodles for a few days, and hurt your stomach." Xiao Ding said with tears.

Xiao Ding just came back to his senses, but he didn't dare to touch Gu Ye. Gu Ye's face was pale, and his collar was red when he vomited blood. He was afraid that he would disappear if he touched someone.

Gu Ye shook his head, closed his eyes, and waited for the throbbing pain in his stomach to pass.

Impossible, Ami and No. 8 didn't hurt him just now, and left him with internal injuries; as for instant noodles, although they are not nutritious, they are just props for replenishing physical strength in the game. He ate a lot, even more than him, but now Xiaoding is fine and alive and kicking.

"It's not a stomachache," Gu Ye said.

Stomach pain is the reaction of the stomach to the brain, telling the brain that you need to tell the owner that your stomach is uncomfortable and you need to pay more attention; however, Gu Ye's current situation is the opposite, his brain is telling his stomach that you are very sick now. Comfortable, take a quick smoke.For this, Gu Ye can only think of one explanation, that is, this is the reaction of his body in the real world.

Their bodies in the real world are imprisoned on the recliner at this time, relying on nutrient solution to live, no matter how high-quality nutrient solution is, it is not as good as the normal food input, and his stomach can't stand it for a long time without eating, so he has pain and pain. spasms.Then pass it on to his awareness of being in the game.That means they don't have much time left.

The return is nowhere in sight, but their bodies in the real world can no longer support them.

Tan Lin's arms tightened, and he hugged him very hard, which caused another pain in his shoulder blades. This pain didn't last long. Just when he couldn't stand it, Tan Lin finally let go.Tan Lin took his arm, held his wrist with ten fingers, let his arm wrap around his neck, then wrapped his arms around his waist and hugged him.

Gu Ye left his feet off the ground.He was sweating from the pain and his eyes were numb, but he was still thinking that this posture was too awkward.Although it was his wish to be hugged by Tan Lin like this, Xiao Ding was still watching from the sidelines, feeling a little embarrassed.

Gu Ye struggled in Tan Lin's arms, and wanted to walk down by himself, but he couldn't move at all in his current physical condition. Just moving his little finger, his stomach twitched against him, so he could only lie on Tan Lin's body, letting him He hugged himself to the red sofa in the hall and rubbed himself.

At first Gu Ye could bear it, and forced himself to maintain a clear consciousness with his eyes open.But as time went on, the pain intensified, and the pain in the real world was transmitted to Gu Ye's consciousness at this time after being programmed in the three-layer consciousness world, and the physical sensation was equivalent to three cubes of pain.The huge pain made Gu Ye unable to open his eyelids. He could only close his eyes and tighten his teeth, and then told himself to calm down and wait for the long pain to pass.

Just like that, Gu Ye fell into a short dreamland.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Ye woke up from the sound of a gentle bell.

He opened his eyes, the hall was not lit, the red fireplace was filled with firewood, and a gentle flame was beating. Tan Lin was leaning against the sofa, his elbows resting on the armrest of the sofa, his eyes were closed, and his eyelashes like crow wings cast down Two oval-shaped shadows, the straight bridge of the nose stripped the light and shadow in half, making half of his face immersed in the dancing flames, and half immersed in the silent darkness.

In a trance, Gu Ye felt as if he had returned to reality.

This is the feeling he had expected, a quiet night, a calm bell, a cool night breeze, and a lover who can be seen as soon as he opens his eyes.This overly real illusion gave him a sense of emptiness and emptiness. Looking at the person in front of him, he didn't dare to reach out to touch it, as if as long as he stretched out his finger, this person would be like a soap bubble in the sun, becoming him. A little bit of warmth remained on the fingertips.

Tan Lin opened his eyes.He has always been a light sleeper, and maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times is an occupational disease that he cannot get rid of.After opening his eyes, the first thing he did was to find where Gu Ye was. He saw Gu Ye's eyes falling into a star in the firelight, with a little warmth, like a layer of steam.

Every time he saw Gu Ye, he felt an awl poke in his heart, and when he was about to feel the pain, the awl tip was pulled away quickly, leaving only a trace of soreness that was almost painful.He knew that this feeling was distressed.

Gu Ye will not know his feelings, because he hides them very deeply.Gu Ye only knew him for a few days, but he had known him for many years.He is the child in the hazy memory who was in the mud with him, the pride that Uncle Gu always talks about, and the back that he has been watching silently.

Before he knew his existence, he had already known him through Uncle Gu.At that time, he thought, if he was really what Uncle Gu said, then he would be happy to make such a friend.Then he actually got to know him, in the worst kind of situation.He finally found out that he was wrong. He was indeed as smart and good as what Uncle Gu said, but he was not willing to make this friend because there were not enough friends.

Tan Lin looked away, quickly collected his thoughts, and stretched out his hand to test Gu Ye's forehead.

When Tan Lin approached, the hot air from his breath brushed against Gu Ye's neck, as gentle as a butterfly's wings, making him bend his legs subconsciously.He inadvertently discovered that the light and shadow on Tan Lin's face changed with his movements, the light shifted slightly, and swept two thick black shadows on his cheeks.His cheeks were thinner, and a sharp bone protruded from the corner of his originally sharply defined jaw. Only then did Gu Ye realize that Tan Lingai's hand on his forehead was no longer as hot as it used to be, but like It is a charcoal fire that is about to go out, slightly glowing.

He has lost a lot of weight.Although Eddie said that he has a stronger will than ordinary people, the restoration of consciousness is constantly consuming and eating away at his energy.This process will be painful, a thousand times, ten thousand times more painful than the cramping in his stomach just now.Gu Ye suddenly felt sore, a little regretful.When he was in pain, Tan Lin was always by his side, but when Tan Lin was in pain, he was not there.

"Does it hurt?" Tan Lin thought he was in pain again, lifted the coat covering his abdomen, and put his warm hand on his lower abdomen.

Gu Ye shook his head and looked at Tan Lin for a moment, "I don't feel anything anymore." He paused, then hesitated and said, "What about you?"

Tan Lin missed it. He knew what Gu Ye was asking, but he was not used to sharing pain with him. He turned his head, looked at the orange flames in the fireplace beside him, and said, "Well, it's a little uncomfortable."

Tan Lin is a person who is easy to guess, just like now, Tan Lin's reaction is exactly what he expected.

Gu Ye closed his eyes, grabbed Tan Lin's collar suddenly, pulled him closer, and then bit Tan Lin's lips hard, almost venting. I felt swollen and sore in my heart, until I finally let go when I tasted some blood on the tip of my tongue.He pressed his forehead against Tan Lin's, gritted his teeth and said, "Liar." How could it be just one point?

Tan Lin's breath suddenly became disordered, and he didn't move, allowing Gu Ye to make trouble for no reason.He was silent for a while, and then a deep sigh came from his throat. Gu Ye couldn't tell what the emotion of this sigh was, and then, Tan Lin's hand came from behind him, and his palm was tightly pressed Rubbing his back, patted him lightly, and said, "It's all right now."

They'll be fine, he assured him.

Gu Ye also realized that he had lost his composure. He slowly loosened Tan Lin's collar, but his body still did not retreat. "How long have I been asleep?"

Tan Lin said, "It didn't take long, about four hours."

"Four hours!" Gu Ye was a little crazy, their time was precious, and it was a waste to sleep, "You, why didn't you call me?"

Tan Lin held the jacket that was kicked to the ground by Gu Ye, and said, "You keep frowning."

Gu Ye had nothing to do with Tan Lin, he didn't even have a place to lose his temper, so he could only say, "I sleep like this all the time."

"No," Tan Lin retorted seriously. He saw his eyes darken, and said in a deep voice, "You are very quiet when you sleep."

Gu Ye's cheeks became hot all of a sudden, obviously he hadn't done anything on the bed, why did Tan Lin have the ability to speak so lustfully.Gu Ye "felt" full of thoughts and desires, blood all over his body and didn't know where to rush, he just felt so irritable that he hurriedly changed the topic, climbed down from the bed, and asked, "Where's Xiao Ding?"

Tan Lin said, "Xiao Ding is asleep."

Xiao Ding was sleeping sprawled on the carpet at the end of the sofa.

Gu Ye pinched Xiao Ding's nose, Xiao Ding half opened his mouth, hummed twice, and woke up with ahh.

"Hey! Why have I been sleeping for so long? I'm a little hungry." Xiao Ding woke up and was hungry. Gu Ye thought that they really needed to solve their physical problems when they moved tonight, so he stewed all the ingredients in the refrigerator in one pot Then, they ate everything together, so that they finished eating the whole round of game props and never had to think about eating again.

During the meal, Gu Ye felt that it was time to talk to Xiao Ding about the matter between him and Tan Lin.Although everyone has let go of this aspect a lot now, Xiao Ding also likes to make jokes about him and Tan Lin, but jokes are jokes, if it is true, many people will still mind.Gu Ye hoped that Xiao Ding could accept him, and if he couldn't accept it, he wouldn't force it.

Gu Ye put down his chopsticks, organized his words in his mind, and then solemnly said to Xiao Ding: "Xiao Ding, I want to ask you something."

Xiao Ding stuffed his mouth full of meat, eating happily, without raising his head, he asked, "What?"

Gu Ye took a deep breath and said, "What do you think of homosexuality?"

Xiao Ding scratched the chicken rack in his hand, and said, "How can I watch it, of course I'll watch it on my phone!"

Gu Ye: "..."

Well, he was wasting his mind for nothing.

After dinner, they agreed on plans for tonight.

"What kind of person is Eddie?" This is the question they have to solve this time.Gu Ye found that although Eddie was the person they had known the longest since they entered the game, they didn't know Eddie at all.

Xiao Ding said, "I think so." He tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "He thinks he's pretty handsome."

Gu Ye was speechless and said, "Can you say something that is not so obvious?"

Xiao Ding said: "You said, Eddie is obviously a human being, why are we looking for his story this round? And all the NPCs in the rematch are murderers, so is Eddie?" With a shiver, he said: "It seems that everyone has to get into the game, and none of them can escape."

Xiao Ding's words made Gu Ye's hands and feet feel cold.

Eddie was a tough nut to crack.It is really powerless to start directly with Eddie.So Gu Ye decided to use the characteristics of the game scene and the real world first.They first check to see if the world in the game is exactly the same as reality, and if there is any difference.And the only thing he knew, and Eddie probably knew, was their school.

It was midnight, but time was running out, so they acted immediately.

The problem, however, is that they don't have cell phones with them.If you don’t have a mobile phone, you can’t call a Didi taxi, and the hospital is relatively remote, so it’s impossible to take a taxi. If you walk back to school on two legs, you have to wait until dawn.

When they were at a loss, Tan Lin said, "I have a motorcycle."

It was indeed a good idea, and the only way they could do it.

Gu Ye was also very happy.Tan Lin's motorcycle was so cool, the first time he saw Tan Lin leaving on a motorcycle, he thought he was handsome and scumbag.Later, he and Tan Lin exchanged feelings, and even imagined that Tan Lin would take him to ride a motorcycle to see the stars.

However, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. There are three of them.So Gu Ye had silently imagined countless times in his heart that the heart of a comic-style girl was finally realized. The fact is that he hugged Tan Lin's waist, and Xiao Ding hugged his waist, and then used a voice of 180 decibels in his ear. He screamed wildly: "Ahhh! So cool, so dazzling, so cool!!!"

Gu Ye silently lit a piece of white wax for himself in his heart, this is enough for this love affair.

On the motorcycle, Gu Ye asked Tan Lin, "Have you ever been to W University?"

Gu Ye was always worried that Tan Lin didn't know the way, but Tan Lin had a strong sense of direction, relying on the North Star in the sky, he could find the right place without any detours.

Tan Lin obviously paused, and then replied: "Yes, I have been."

Gu Ye joked, "Are you looking for me?"

After Gu Ye finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. Why is W University considered a century-old prestigious school and a famous local tourist attraction? Why do people come here just to find you?Really big face.

Tan Lin seemed to purposely increase the motor, let the motorcycle speed up, and the car body was lifted forward, causing Gu Ye to lean forward involuntarily. Then he hugged Tan Lin's waist tightly, pressed his chest against his back, and whistled in his ears. In the evening breeze, his heartbeat was more obvious than ever, Tan Lin said: "Yes."

There was an indescribable feeling in Gu Ye's heart, rising.He knew what Tan Lin was looking for him for, and why he didn't let him see him when he came.He suddenly discovered that during the solo journey he thought was difficult, in fact, there was someone who silently accompanied him all the time.He put his ear on Tan Lin's back, and said loudly to the howling evening wind, "After you return to reality, you still have to come find me."

"Ah."
