Netherworld Investigator

"This game was very popular when I was in college. It's called "The Rebellion of Babel". Haven't you played it?" Wen Baifan turned on the computer enthusiastically when he got home at night, "But I've been playing it for many years. , the client has been uninstalled, wait for me to download it again."

Qiao Kejun pursed his lips and remained silent. Naturally, he had never played this kind of game.At the age of 17, he was admitted to the best medical school in the country, and within six years he received a doctorate in medicine. To do all this, in addition to his amazing talent, he also had to have extraordinary concentration and willpower.

Qiao Kejun is a genius, but there is no doubt that his life is as barren as a lone tree in the wasteland.During my studies, I never participated in any parties, nor did I have any contacts.After joining Shengci, it was common for him to work overtime for a month in a row. In terms of hobbies, he hardly had any private life.

Wen Baifan couldn't help complaining: "I've never seen a non-mainstream gangster like you, and you haven't even been to an Internet cafe."

The only game Qiao Kejun has played is the claw machine, and this was a part of the gecko's endurance and hand sensitivity training when he was 15 years old with the gecko.

"What kind of fun is that? You are here to learn." Wen Baifan sighed, staring at the installation progress of the client on the screen, pushed the glasses on his nose, and couldn't help but snarled at Qiao Kejun: " Speaking of which, back then, I was almost a tyrant in the video game city, the kind who could clear the game with one coin. If two coins were used, there is only one possibility, that is, the game itself needs two coins.”

"almost?"

"I can't help it. I will lose to Xiaofeng in games other than racing..." After blurting out the name, Wen Baifan was at a loss for words. After a while, he said indifferently, "You probably don't know He, Tang Xiaofeng, Yanyan's own brother, the poor car skills passed down by the Tang family, haha. Well, he was my partner back then."

"En." Qiao Kejun responded lightly.

Wen Baifan didn't notice that Qiao Kejun's mood was a bit wrong. In fact, if he didn't distinguish carefully, Qiao Kejun's expressions were actually the same.

Wen Baifan saw the words "Installation Complete" appear on the screen, and was about to enter his account number, when he suddenly remembered something, and declared a little embarrassedly: "I admit that the ID back then was a bit naive, so don't laugh."

Qiao Kejun looked at Wen Baifan's input letter by letter: "GoSing?"

"Hey, don't read it out, it sounds like a dog leftover." Wen Baifan bit his lip and bulged his cheeks, and hit Qiao Kejun's chin with his head, "Please follow the elegant meaning of 'walk and sing'." understand."

Qiao Kejun chuckled, pushed Wen Baifan's waxed head away with his big hands, sat down on his bed, rested his chin on his shoulder, looked at the screen, and praised: "The picture quality of this game is good."

"Of course, this is EG's most popular online game that is popular all over the country. The production level is not inferior to the online games that are blooming everywhere today. At that time, I heard that an entertainment company wanted to make this game into a movie. , Later I don’t know why it wasn’t filmed.”

The place where GoSing went live was the city tower of Babel, where people gathered, and sharp-eyed people recognized him immediately.

"...Brother Sheng?" Beside him, an assassin player with the ID "Pink Peach" initiated the current chat, "Brother Sheng! Damn, this is the legendary Yingwei, really It's not a high imitation!"

Because of Gosing's ridiculous homonym, many people used to call him "Ge Leftover", but because of this, his winning rate has always been high. Over time, Brother Leftover became Brother Sheng.

Gosing: "...I know you?"

Pink Peach: "No, but I know you, the number one assassin! I've tried the copy of the snake god Apibu more than ten times, but I still haven't broken your record. Also, the Raiders on the Eve of Chaos you How many people complained after only posting the first article... Let’s stop talking nonsense, JJC let’s go! We play assassins, there is no one who doesn’t want to fight with you, Brother Sheng!”

Gosing: "I don't."

Pink Peach: "If you reject me, I'll immediately hang you up on the world channel, and then you won't be the only one to deal with. Come on, God! Follow me!"

Gosing: "No."

As soon as the news was released, I saw a series of announcements on the World Channel about the launch of Gosing with people and coordinates, which caused a small commotion.Seeing the dense crowd of IDs gathering towards him in the distance, Wen Baifan sighed: "It doesn't make sense, it's been seven years, why would anyone still remember me."

Pink Peach: "I didn't disclose your coordinates, they just want to challenge you, err."

Gosing: "Stop being so sentimental, we stand on the tower in full view, anyone with eyes can see me."

Qiao Kejun glanced at the screen, a little surprised: "You used to be famous in the game?"

"The main reason is that our trade union is very famous, and I'm famous." Wen Baifan responded to him while driving Gosing, turning over from the tower with a few neat jumps, and following the shadow at the base of the wall all the way to the cedar forest outside the city run.

Unexpectedly, the New Year's Eve mission is being held today, and there are huge crowds of people everywhere. If it wasn't for Wen Baifan's luck to find a bottle of invisibility potion hidden in the warehouse, he might have become a hunted Nian beast by now.

Hiding in an unoccupied small stone house, Wen Baifan clicked on the friend list. There were less than ten IDs on it, most of which were gray avatars. A rough look at the last login time of each person showed that some login times were A few hours ago, these should still be playing, but I don't know if the subcutaneous is still the same person.There are also some who haven't logged in for several years, such as an epee named "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud", and a priest named "I'm Poor and Troubled".

And the only online friend in the list is a wizard named "Wangchen Demon Fairy", who quickly sent him a private message after seeing him online.

Wangchen Moji: "A Sheng?"

Gosing: "It's me, it's me."

Gosing: "Long time no see, Miss Wang, you're still playing this game."

Wangchen is a female number, one of the three elders of the Xiaohongchen Guild who was famous for a while, the "chen" in Xiaofanchen refers to her.She is a wizard by profession. She has long red hair that is as smooth as silk, her skin is as snowy as snow, her eyes are moving, and she exudes a tall and dusty temperament.However, no one dares to underestimate Wangchen because of her beauty. Her delicate and gorgeous operation, strong output, is higher than many male players, and she is famous all over the server for her amazing hand speed.Back then, Wang Chen was very popular, and many fans joined Xiao Hongchen because of her.

Wangchen Moji: "Yes. Just now someone said that they saw you on the other side of the city tower. I didn't expect you to be online again, so I came to confirm whether it was me or selling my account."

Gosing joined the guild later, and he didn't have much communication with Wang Chen in private, but the style of the two in the game is very similar. Occasionally, they mic, but rarely talk. Appeared, a silent and mysterious existence.

Gosing: "Why, I won't sell my account even if I don't play anymore. It's just a sudden whim, I want to come up and take a look."

From Wang Chen's mouth, Wen Baifan knew that many people who fought together in the guild back then had already sold their accounts, which also meant that in his very few friends list, only Wang Chen was left as an old friend.She took over the position of guild president seven years ago and has maintained it until today.

Wen Baifan was a little emotional, Wangchen used to like to be alone, with an aloof personality, but he didn't expect her to be so emotional in her heart.

I remember once chatting, Wang Chen vaguely revealed his age, because he grew up in an orphanage, he didn't know the exact date of birth, but it was the same year as Wen Baifan Xiaotian, so she would be almost thirty this year.On New Year's Eve, the whole family was reunited. In such a lively festival, she was still alone, and she was still playing the same game for ten years.The people on the friend list are all heading for their own lives, but she still stays where she is, never leaving.

In the past, Wangchen always gave people a feeling of repelling people thousands of miles away, instead of the tone of joy and nostalgia like now.

"It's fun chatting with other girls." Qiao Kejun's voice sounded cool from behind his ears, "Is this your...old friend?"

At the beginning, Qiao Kejun said that he wanted to watch the games he played back then, but unexpectedly, he was too involved in reminiscing about the past and left him out in the cold.

Wen Baifan smiled flatteringly, pointed at the screen and said to Qiao Kejun: "Let me introduce to you, this is my comrade-in-arms in the game. We met in Xinshou Village in our sophomore year, and we didn't expect to pass by more than ten years later." gone."

Qiao Kejun glanced at his friend list, and asked: "This 'Smile to Watch the Wind and Cloud' is Tang Xiaofeng, right... what about this one, 'Poor and trouble me'?"

Wen Baifan shyly scratched the little curly hair on his head: "Hey, this is me too. I got tired of the treatment, so I practiced an assassin again, but except for Xiaofeng, no one knows that Gosing is my trumpet."

Qiao Kejun looked at the hot, choppy boobs on the screen with complicated expressions: "This looks like a woman?"

Wen Baifan grinned: "Yes, it's female. Because the priest's equipment is cheaper than the male one, I was still a poor student at that time, so I chose the female gender to save money. Later, when I practiced assassins, I changed my gender to female. I'm back, so I won't be teased all day long, there are so many wretched men in the game."

Hearing this, Qiao Kejun's face darkened slightly.

Over there Wangchen Moji was still chatting with him, recalling many things back then, Wen Baifan replied with a smile: "Wangchen has a strong sense of operation, the three of us could be said to be invincible in all servers back then, Many of the first kills of bosses were made by us, and we were invited to participate in online competitions on the same server."

The servers of "The Rebellion of Babel" are divided according to the region, that is to say, the offline distance of the players on the same server will not be too far.

"It's a pity that Wangchen said that he didn't want to show his face, because he was afraid that his family would know that she played online games, so Xiaofeng and I didn't make it in the end."

Speaking of which, the personalities of these three people are actually very different. It is also fate that they can get together to play games for so many years. In the beginning, they got along quite well. build up.

It's a pity that those things happened later that separated each other's hearts, and he, Tang Xiaofeng and Wangchen could no longer fight tacitly as before.

Wen Baifan was only 19 years old when he met Tang Xiaofeng and Wangchen.In reality, he hides himself behind black-rimmed glasses, walks with his head down every day, doesn't stay in a hotel, doesn't participate in group activities, and his classmates don't have a chance to see him except for class and exam occasions. He is like a freak in everyone's eyes same existence.

Different from the usual silence and forbearance, Wen Baifan released another side of himself in the virtual online game world.

In the pioneering generation of "The Rebellion of Babel Tower", no one knew the quarrelsome priest in the Xiaofanchen guild.Just like her ID, in the game, she is poor and annoying, invincible and cheap, and frequently loses her moves.As a healer, Poverty is best at distracting opponents with trash talk in mid-combat.

It stands to reason that girls have always been rare animals in games, no matter what type they are, they are easy to attract.The image of the poor character is holy and charming. She holds a scepter inlaid with bright stones in her hand and wears a white holy robe embroidered with oracle with gold thread. The whole person seems to be bathed in holy light.There are bloody beauties like Wangchen who sacrifice their big moves without saying a word, and some people show their love in the forum every day, but unfortunately, the difficulty of trouble is really daunting for most male players.

Others thought that these were all tactics to attack the enemy's psychological loopholes, but in fact, it was really just Wen Baifan's quick talk.

It is precisely because the purpose is so pure that he scolds with devotion, concentration, and level and style of scolding. Although not a single word is dirty, the effect of stimulating emotions is very outstanding.

Many people can only torture and kill poverty a hundred times in their hearts, but in fact they have nothing to do with her.Being relentlessly covered by Xiaokan Fengyun, and supported unprincipled by the entire Xiaofanchen Guild, the impoverished arrogance became more and more arrogant to the point of gnashing one's teeth.

Tang Xiaofeng is the kind of character who is very charismatic, humorous, generous, and measured. Even a cold beauty like Wang Chen, who is arrogant and self-confident, obeys him.Among the three veterans, Wangchen is the most popular, and the notoriety of being poor is the most popular, while Xiaokanfengyun is the existence that is most hated by male players in the whole server.

A suit of top-quality equipment shows that he is not short of money. As the leader of the most powerful gang in this server, he has a detached position, and there are two beauties accompanying him.

There are not many girls in the game, but it's not that there are no girls. In recent years, the number has increased rapidly, but these Wen Baifans are no longer known.During those years when he was still playing games, there were many girls in the Xiaofanchen guild, except for some who liked to play games themselves, and some who played with their boyfriends. In addition, I am also very concerned about the love and hatred between Xiaokanfengyun, Poverty Nurse and Wangchen Moji.

They naturally prefer Wang Chen, who is like a big sister, to the chirping but well-loved poor. Although her personality is cold, she makes people feel safe.

In the era when the term "Meng Xipi" was not yet popular, they already fell in love with the CP pair Xiaokanfengyun X Wangchen, and someone anonymously posted a post called "Xiaowangshu" in the forum, using To record the ambiguous interaction between the two.

To Wen Baifan's surprise, Tang Xiaofeng was furious at this post, and contacted the administrator without saying a word. After being rejected, he not only wrote a long message at the bottom of the post to reprimand the poster for making it out of nothing, but also wrote at the end of the message , announced in public the news that he was going to marry the poor.

Tang Xiaofeng made the decision for him without consulting Wen Baifan's opinion. Of course, Tang Xiaofeng was not guilty. The next day, he immediately swept up the cocoa milk in the entire campus supermarket.Seeing two full boxes of milk at Tang Xiaofeng's feet, Wen Baifan clicked his tongue in distaste: "I hate this brand the most, it's essence mixed with milk powder."

"Yes, brother, I was wrong. I'll invite you to the store for a drink." Tang Xiaofeng chased after him like a dog.

Wen Baifan didn't blame him after all, after all, for him, getting married can complete the task of husband and wife, and there is no loss in this matter.

As for whether it will hurt Xipi Fan's heart... Just kidding, Poverty is just interested in flirting in the game, why should he consider everyone's feelings, the more others jump around, the more energetic he is.

But what surprised Wen Baifan was that Tang Xiaofeng would directly refute that post, which was actually not in line with his usual style of doing things.Tang Xiaofeng is the kind of man who is narcissistic and self-absorbed in his bones. Gossip with girls has never been a problem to him, but he will take it as proof of his charm.

Everything said in that post was not made out of nothing. Xiaokan Fengyun and Wangchen did have an ambiguous period of sparks flying in the game, leaving many marks of warmth, not to mention that at the beginning, it was Tang Xiaofeng who took the lead. Those who are courteous to Wangchen.

The two held a high-profile and luxurious wedding in the church in the game as scheduled, and nearly one-third of the online users in the whole server came to watch the ceremony.

While the priest was reciting the oath, Wangchen went offline silently.

For some reason, on this night after many years, on this cold and lonely New Year's Eve night, Wen Baifan, who was swept away by memories, suddenly realized that the silent moments of Wangchen back then might not be without sadness. It's just that she didn't express her position.

After regaining consciousness, Wen Baifan turned his head and found that he was the only one left in the room.

At some point, Qiao Kejun had already left his room.

In the empty room, with the curtains slightly blown by the wind, Wen Baifan sat in front of the computer in astonishment.

It was late at night, but he suddenly had the urge to knock hard on the door next door.

The words that appeared on the screen made him completely stunned.

"Although the president has been out of office for many years, he has been living a good life. Just now he asked me to say hello to you." It was a chat record sent by Wangchen Moji.

How is it possible, Xiaofeng has clearly...

Wen Baifan frowned and thought for a moment, then put his hands on the keyboard and typed: "Is the president referring to laughing at Fengyun?"

Wangchen Moji: "Of course, we were talking about him just now, didn't we?"

Wen Baifan: "Yes, I was confused. Sister Wang, do you and the president live together all the time?"

Wangchen Moji: "That's right, we've been married for seven years, it's surprising."
