forever lv.0

Half asleep and half awake, the boundary between reality and dream is always blurred.

In the dream, I came to a place that I had never set foot in but was familiar with.The surroundings are pitch black, there is no object reflecting light in the field of vision, and only the existence of oneself is real.No matter which direction he moved his steps, he was not moving forward. The world adjusted the center of his steps to keep him in the same place, so Kuroba stopped.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the initial interface of the game.It's not too late, it's not started yet.There is still hope in my heart, and I still have the right to give up.

At this time, is the peaceful background music at the beginning still playing? It seems that it has never been heard after the opening animation appeared.

Trying to listen, I can't hear anything.

This time, we must choose carefully.Black Feather thought so.

As a player, I also have the right to choose teammates.

But he couldn't find a window to confirm his teammates.

"Look, you still chose to start the game."

He heard voices, sarcastically.

Isn't that natural.Now that it's all thrown into the game, it's only natural to let it start.

"You really want to find teammates?"

It's a two-player game, of course-

"If you were really allowed to choose for yourself, you wouldn't choose anyone."

Affirmative tone, not question.

……

"You left the choice to the system from the beginning, didn't you?"

……

"You've been planning to trust no one since the beginning, haven't you?"

……do not talk.

"You never intended to be anyone's teammate from the start."

do not talk!

He squatted down on the spot, buried his face in his knees, and shouted hysterically to shut up the voice.There is a limit to what you can say when you have nothing to do with yourself. There is a limit to laughing at people.Shut up, shut up, shut up, who cares what you irrelevant guys are saying, who cares.Anyway, you don't have to pay anything for what you say, and I can choose not to listen.Shut up, shut up, shut up all of them.

"But no matter how much you shout here," the voice continued mockingly, "no one will hear you."

No one... heard?

"There's only you here."

It's just me here.

Kudo Shinichi sighed after checking the unfamiliar machine in his hand over and over again, and then at the mobile phone on the table that had not been moved for a long time.

Kaito Kuroba dropped his game console.

If you can't contact the other party, you can't return it, and you can't even achieve more communication through language.In this era where communication is too convenient, it is easy to maintain contacts with others, but it is not so difficult to cut off any contact.The distant friends who still communicated with each other yesterday may have disappeared from each other's sight because of the loss of the account number or the change of the addresses of both parties.And more people just live in the data of the information world, just look at the "information" that represents a person, and even have no way of recalling when, where, and contacting this information from real faces to virtual faces. Data are fairly unfamiliar "people".

Memories are not yet reliable, nor are the devices used to store them.Thousands of words are written on the paper, and if you want to destroy the evidence, you only need to burn it.And unless the damage is accurate enough to match the mirror cutting, the data in the severely damaged storage device is difficult to recover completely easily. The burnt smell dissipated.

Why don't you message back...

In the middle of the meeting, one of the conversational parties suddenly left without explaining the reason for leaving. This should have been a very bad situation. It was so bad that both parties involved should reflect on whether they had done something wrong. At this moment, Kudo But it does not intend to go to the root of the current situation.

After being exposed the mask of reality and unreality like that, no one would have bowed with a smile on his face, and even gave a polite "Ah, I was discovered, you are so amazing" to end the episode. farce.It should be said that such a development is more like a farce.

If this is a well-designed performance, then I must be the kind who stepped onto the stage with an arrogant smile, pulled the opening curtain nonchalantly, and fully revealed the behind-the-scenes of the actors who never show others easily, the so-called "The most boring troublemaker".

The preconditions required for reasoning are all in place, and the answer pointed to by the divided and reorganized information can be seen without too much entanglement.Clear, concise, irrefutable.As the party to "solve the puzzle", he could have chosen "not to say" - even if he didn't say anything, "the puzzle has been solved" is a fact he knows very well.The "not to tell" that has been concealed may end its incomplete tense at some point in the future, and to reveal the truth without hesitation is even more unreasonable for the parties who know the whole story but never speak out. Even a little cruel.

Perhaps it was the right choice to choose to remain silent and accompany him to continue the game to the end.My own random fiddles accidentally turned on the game console, looking at the unexpectedly lit screen, Kudo Shinichi wanted to secretly sigh at the ridiculousness of reality.

The communication that started inexplicably, the plot with no theme and no direction of extension, the beginning and the end are quite sudden and without warning...a veritable absurd drama.

Is he really in such a bad mood that he doesn't even read the text messages... The buffer time after booting up is over, and the screen is full of icons that he has never seen before. Kudo looked at them one by one, and none of them were familiar type.There are still many types of games that I have not been exposed to, and what I have learned through this period of supplementary supplementation is not even the tip of the iceberg.

He usually plays these games?Holding the game console belonging to the other party in his hand, Kudo himself felt that the excitement covering his mood at the moment was a bit out of place.Curiosity will make people cruel and ruthless or even unscrupulous, but most of the time, the guy with the strongest self-control ability may not be able to suppress it, and may even allow his behavior to be affected by curiosity with a little indulgence, Secretly looking forward to what kind of result it will lead to.

Kudo clicked on a game at random, and the "Howtoplay" option introduced completely unfamiliar operating rules.Thinking that this might be another Demon King game that is very unfriendly to newcomers who are hard to operate, he chose not to risk his life to try beyond his capabilities.

Fortunately, many games that require high operation not only have the highest score records and even the world rankings, but also allow players to save videos of the self-satisfied customs clearance process. Watch the game video.

Do you usually pass the time like this?

The moment he clicked "Replay", Kudo felt that he was peeking into a corner of the other person's life in a strange and unexpected way.Of course, within a few minutes, this feeling of being suspected of a crime was completely replaced by amazement.The upper right corner of the screen is constantly jumping and refreshing to the point that people don't bother to calculate the number of digits. The score may have been able to enter the top five pages of the world rankings. The operation that is comparable to the strategy of clearing the level without injury is enough to make him admire it with [-] points It's time to look at the "machine" that I have never looked at directly, and the "player" behind those mechanical pictures that performs all operations.

Really great.There was unreserved praise from the bottom of my heart.

How on earth did he achieve such beautiful results through these unreasonable keystrokes?

It turns out that if there is no interference, that guy's level has already reached this level?

Be amazed, no matter how perfect the customs clearance process is, it will lose its freshness after watching it many times. After a few minutes, Kudo stopped watching the game videos that were enough to spark new topics, and turned to look at other options in the game.

Two-player battle mode... Recently, I have a little understanding of the competition in the game, but after clicking, I found that there is no such data record in the database.Quit the current game and choose another one, and there is also no record of online battles.

The game itself is a social platform, and players who share the same hobbies can use this medium to contact and communicate.Because it is a virtual platform, many restrictions have been bypassed in communication... Kudomoto thinks so.Isn't that the reality?

No, not so.

Kudo stared fixedly at the connection data displayed as "no record".

It has nothing to do with virtuality or reality, no matter which platform it is on, the noisy guy is still loud, and the silent guy is still silent.Difficult words in reality will not become easier to say, and the guy who refuses to open his heart will never open the closed door easily.

Nothing will change.

The remaining power was also exhausted, and the game console automatically shut down and entered an inoperable black screen state.Kudo put down the hot machine in his hand, and felt that his trusted thinking began to become confused.

The reason why Kuroba is dissatisfied with the current "game" and wants to end it is because the detective himself told the truth.

And the reason why I want to expose the truth is because I instinctively feel "concealment".

The subject who "conceals" the reality is motivated by "doing not want the truth to be known to others".

But his previous behaviors clearly conveyed the message of "hope the mystery will be solved"...

Hey, Kuroba.

Kudo put away the game console that was about to be returned to the original owner, and habitually checked the inbox that had not received a reply.

Although you didn't say anything...

In fact, I still vaguely hope in my heart, is there anyone who can hear your voice?
