ID number 019

Chen Yang walked into the bathroom with his mobile phone, and sat down on the toilet with his head down. His waist was bent, and his elbows pressed his stiff legs to look at the wet floor tiles.

After the mission at the train station was over, Chen Yang came up with an inference based on the investigation that all the mission participants were from Qingcheng. At that time, he was already thinking that if the mission had no end, the city of Qingcheng would become a city one day sooner or later. Only the missionaries are left.Then the missionaries stopped walking, and Qingcheng became an empty city.

Later, every time Chen Yang completed a task and returned to the real world, his sense of belonging would be weakened.As time goes by, there are more and more violations around him, and the strangeness brought by Sanlianqiao and Qingcheng becomes more and more intense. The seeds of doubt unknowingly take root and germinate, turning into a small sapling.

Until just now!

The small sapling that he had deliberately left to dry without nourishment suddenly grew into a towering tree, piercing his heart in an instant, and his head hurt so much that he lost all feeling.

In fact, deep in Chen Yang's heart, he had expected this result a long time ago. He didn't lie to Chao Jian, he was indeed mentally prepared, but when he really got to this point, he still couldn't accept it.

This is the essential difference between the thoughts in your head and the facts in front of you.

Qingcheng is a fake, it really is a fake.

No wonder it's unreal.

It turned out to be fake, no wonder...

The mobile phone was wet and hot from Chen Yang's grip. He changed his hand to hold it, and found that hand was also soaked in cold sweat.

Chen Yang wiped the sweat from his hands on his trousers, he stood up and went to the door to call Chao Jian, without saying a word.

Chao Jian outside did not make a sound.

A door cut off their sight and breathing, but failed to separate their souls.

Chen Yang said in a hoarse voice, "Speak."

"I said it would be very simple." Chao Jian's understatement sounded on the phone, "I came back from the end to find you."

This sentence does not seem to have many words, but it has actually opened up all the nodes of doubt.

One: The task has a terminal.

Two: The black household is the tasker who clears the customs, when to clear the customs, and when to unbind the identity number.

Three: The reason why Chaojian came to the end and returned the same way was because Chen Yang was still on the way.

Chen Yang leaned against the door: "Tell me more in detail."

"My brain is a bit blunt after taking medicine. I don't know when to start talking about it," Chao Jian said, "You ask questions, and I'll answer you." At the end, he reminded, "I'll just talk a little bit tonight."

"Okay." Chen Yang felt that there were a lot of doubts on the rampage. Everyone wanted to attract his attention but he turned over the cards. He caught a doubt at random, "This real world is fake, so where is the real real world?"

Chen Yang couldn't help saying: "Could it be the mission world?"

There was no sound outside the door.Chen Yang had already got the answer from Chao Jian's silence, he squatted down uncontrollably, the two worlds are actually reversed!

"The mission world is a fragment of the real world." Chao Jian said.

"Shards?" Chen Yang's face was full of astonishment, that is to say, the whole real real world became individual pieces, used as the background of the mission?

For some reason, the word "fragment" gave Chen Yang a terrible premonition.

Fragments, broken... Chen Yang didn't dare to think about it.

The door was opened by Chao Jian, he hung up the phone and picked up Chen Yang: "Okay, that's it for tonight, you need time to calm yourself down."

"I don't need it." Chen Yang said with a pale face, "The warning has been started for a long time. You told me that Qingcheng is fake, and I will only have the feeling that it is true." He stuffed the phone into his pocket, He said incoherently, "I'm just uncomfortable. The place where I was born and raised is not real. I am too uncomfortable. This is a normal reaction. I don't want to face it. I just sleep and wake up and it will be fine."

"Yeah." Chao Jian picked him up.It's not a princess hug, it's like hugging a child.

Chen Yang's arm was hanging on Chao Jian's shoulder, and the little cream in his stomach was surging up, and he swallowed it forcibly.A long time ago, Wu Yu told him to control his curiosity, and said that under normal circumstances, there are two choices between digging hard and pretending to be stupid, and the latter is the correct choice. She must have seen it when she said that. Some things, so I will give a kind warning.

Chen Yang remembered that Chao Jian had emphasized to him time and time again that everything has a beginning and an end, what should come will always come, don't worry, just let nature take its course, he was puzzled and told himself to listen to Chao Jian .

So he endured it until the moment when the truth was like a volcanic eruption. He watched the magma spurt towards him, and there was no way to retreat.

Now Chen Yang saw that the piece of cloth covering the truth was lifted little by little, he became nervous and regretted, and even wanted to press back the uncovered corners, as if nothing happened.

But it's impossible, you can't press it back when you open it.

"Actually, my psychological quality is better than I thought. I can bear the truth of 'the world is fake', and everything else is fine." Chen Yang touched the little tweet on Chao Jian's head.

Chao Jian carried him into the room: "Yes."

"And I expected it, and I guessed a lot." Chen Yang lay on Chao Jian's shoulder.

"En." Chao Jian walked to the closet on the left side of the room. He supported Chen Yang with one hand, opened the closet with the other hand, and took two sets of pajamas from it to the bathroom.

When Chen Yang came back to his senses, Chao Jian had already released the hot water and was flipping through the toiletries on the shelf with one hand.

"Why are we here?" Chen Yang looked blank, "You want to take a bath? Then let me down, I'll go out."

Chao Jian put him on the table: "Didn't you mean inspection?"

Chen Yang: "..." His eyes followed Chao Jian, "Then tonight we are going to..."

Chao Jian was looking for toothpaste, he interrupted: "I can't do it without buying supplies for foreplay."

Chen Yang: "I bought it."

Just as Chao Jian tore open the toothpaste package, his fingertips flicked and the toothpaste fell to the ground.

Seeing that Chao Jian was stunned, Chen Yang slid down from the table, bent down to pick up the toothpaste and put it in the other's hand: "Do you want to do it?"

Chao Jian continued to tear the toothpaste packaging: "Your current state is not good."

"That's right, now my mind is full of the five characters 'the world is fake', floating around, giving me a headache." Chen Yang paused for a second or two, looking straight at Chao Jian, "Then Can you help me drive them away?"

Looking at Jane with a frown: "Are you sure?"

At first glance, it seems very rational and calm, but in fact it almost breaks the toothpaste.

Chen Yang bit Chao Jian's chin: "Can it be done?"

"Of course." Chao Jian smiled, and he lowered his head slightly, allowing Chen Yang's kiss to fall on his lips.

Chen Yang kissed Chao Jian, imitating the time he was drunk, and stretched out his little finger: "Then it's done, pull the hook."

Chao Jane hooked his little finger and shook it.

However, it still didn't work.

It wasn't because Chen Yang changed his mind temporarily and didn't want to do it anymore, nor was it because Chao Jian was afraid to touch him because he was worried that something might happen to his threshold, but because... the raincoat was too small.

Well, it's small.

Life is often like this, you are ready, but it can make you understand one thing: it is useless to be ready.

Chen Yang's hair was very short, and it was almost dry after taking a shower, so he didn't need to blow it. He found a hair dryer and knelt on the bed to blow dry Chao Jian's hair.

Chao Jian sat facing Chen Yang, her blue eyes slightly closed.

"I don't want the small one." Chen Yang's voice was caught in the wind, "I'll buy a large one tomorrow."

Chao Jane's eyelids moved: "No need."

Chen Yang thought that Chao Jian was blaming him for getting the size wrong, and he didn't pay attention to it. He didn't want to explain it, so he heard the other party say, "I've already placed an order just now."

Chen Yang: "..."

Frowning towards Jane: "I should buy it on the way back."

The corner of Chen Yang's mouth twitched, it's not your fault, you didn't expect your brother to be able to do it even after he was like this.

"Not bad for this night." Chen Yang plucked his soft hair, coaxing.

Chao Jian held onto Chen Yang's pajamas.

Chen Yang hesitated to speak: "Well, cough, can I ask you something? It has nothing to do with the mission."

Chao Jian's hands on top of his pajamas suddenly tightened: "You voluntarily."

Chen Yang was thrown into Chao Jian's arms by that force, he turned off the hair dryer, and said with a complicated expression: "How do you know what I want to ask?"

Chao Jian's eyebrows and eyes were covered by wet hair, and the outline gave off a somewhat messy beauty: "At the beginning, you and I..." His eyebrows were covered with a shadow, his head was turned to one side, and the roots of his ears were dyed a thin layer of red, "Yes You let me do it for you, I won’t, you taught me.”

Chen Yang was dumbfounded, God knows he was just curious, why between him and his partner, he was the one below, and there seemed to be no obstacles at all, it was natural.

I didn't expect to hear this... Chen Yang couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe his mood.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it. You can use the small box." The corners of Zhao Jian's lips were straightened.

Chen Yang made up the picture in his head, no, Y can't get up, he doesn't feel it.He sighed inexplicably, whether I am gay or o, I will only find out tonight.

"When I was with you, I was an old brother who had experienced many battles, and you were a little tender meat?" Chen Yang asked a question with difficulty.

Chao Jian's face darkened: "You are an ideal giant, but a short winter melon in reality."

Chen Yang: "?"

He glanced at Jane, and then looked away: "You only teach me how to get in, and you don't know anything else. You are trying to save face and pretend to understand. What did you say that brother taught you, don't be afraid to go ahead, actually You only know some theoretical knowledge, I was your first and last experimental subject, because you said I was very good, and you still..."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Chen Yang covered Chao Jian's mouth, the sweat on his back came out, dry.

The room fell silent.

Chen Yang looked at himself in Chao Jian's pupils, he was a little dizzy: "You told me everything, but I still can't remember anything."

"It's okay." Chao Jian said.

Chen Yang said weakly: "What if I can never remember?"

"It's okay." Chao Jian kissed his palm.

Chen Yang thought that he would keep his eyes open until dawn tonight, but he fell asleep not long after lying down.

Chao Jian withdrew his arm from the back of Chen Yang's head. He got out of bed, took his medicine, and checked Jin Xiaochang's messages on his phone.

Jin Xiaochang: All right?

Unscrew the off-white medicine bottle with the cap towards Jane.

Jin Xiaochang: Take two pills at a time, don't take more.

There were five pills lying in Chao Jian's palm.

Jin Xiaochang: I will tell Qingqing the dosage of your medicine, and then ask him to pass it on to Chen Yang.

Chao Jian put the mobile phone on the table vigorously. He looked at the five pills in his hand and the person sleeping soundly on the bed. After a moment of silence, he put the three pills back into the bottle.

It was two days later that Chen Yang and Chao Jian talked about the task for the second time.

The interval of two days is Chao Jian's meaning. Although Chen Yang's situation is very suitable, he is still very cautious.

Chen Yang sat cross-legged on the sofa, and in his hand was his copy of "The Relationship between Quantum Theory of Consciousness and the World". He patted the book on the lap of Chao Jian who was sitting opposite him.

"This book is mine." Chen Yang started with a determined attitude.

Chao Jian peeled melon seeds: "Yeah."

"019 is my own ID number." Chen Yang said again.

Chao Jian still had the same syllable: "Yeah."

"That Li Yue is the person I imagined." Chen Yang's tone was very calm.

Chao Jian said: "Li Yue is real, he is you."

Chen Yang was stunned.In the past two days, he sorted out all the previous doubts, basically cleared up, and it was a matter of course. He felt that no matter what he heard, he was ok, but in the end he was caught off guard.

"You used to use the name 'Li Yue' for missions." Chao Jian handed him the peeled melon seeds. "Only a few old teammates know your real name."

Chen Yang looked at the melon seed rice in his hand, and it took a while before he spoke: "What is my first mission?"

"I don't know about your first mission. When I met you, you were already a very experienced old missioner, and I am a newcomer." Chao Jian grabbed another handful of melon seeds and began to peel them, "You taught me how to do it." Mission, take me all the way."

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows: "It's not relative, why do I treat you so well?"

"You said I grew up like your daughter-in-law." Chao Jian said slowly.

Chen Yang blushed: "Aren't I playing a hooligan?"

Chao Jian said: "If I'm not interested in you, you're playing hooligans if you do that, and it doesn't count if I like you too."

Chen Yang ate a few melon seeds: "What is that?"

"You flirt with me." Chao Jian said.

Chen Yang stared at him blankly: "Chao Jian, why did I forget you?"

Chao Jian's action of peeling melon seeds stopped, his eyelids were lowered, and he couldn't see what was in his eyes.

Chen Yang had already guessed a possibility.

"Because you failed in the task." Chao Jian put the unpeeled melon seeds on the coffee table, and he went to the bathroom barefoot.

The melon seed rice in Chen Yang's mouth was a bit bitter, as expected...

"If you fail the task, you will die..." Chen Yang ran to Chao Jian. He was not wearing shoes, and his feet were stepping on the cold floor tiles. alive?"

Chao Jian lowered her head and washed her face with cold water, her voice was indistinct: "Reset."

In Chen Yang's field of vision was his somewhat messy maroon hair.

Reset, reset, this is not difficult to understand, for example, if the player in the game dies, it will be refreshed at the respawn point.

Chen Yang spread out the melon seeds in his palm, picked up a grain and ate it.At first on the boat to Xiaoyin Island, Zhang Yan said, "If you die here, you are dead." Chen Yang felt weird and terrible. After finishing the task, he came out and found that the doctor in charge, Li Yue, did not exist. The book with the ID number on it also became his own, which made him feel absurd.

Then, he learned a piece of information through the matter of Wu Yu's object. As long as someone died during the mission, then no one would remember that the other party had been here except for the missioner who had done the same mission as Ta. world.

The traces left by a living person can be cleaned up, and all relatives and friends in life, and all people who know each other will lose relevant memories. Chen Yang thinks it is too magical, so magical that he can't think about it. Famous.

In fact, that beginning has already revealed the development direction of everything.

A person can be wiped out, and of course it can be restored.

Chen Yang thought of something, his eyes opened suddenly: "Is it reset in the Ninth Rehabilitation Hospital?"

"Yes." Chao Jian reached for a towel to wipe the cold water on her face, "The rehabilitation center is the reset point."

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought that he forgot the scene of his accident because he didn't want to recall the painful experience, so he had selective amnesia.

Only now did he realize that there was no such thing from the beginning to the end.

Chen Yang's breathing gradually stabilized. He had been eroded by all kinds of confusion and strange feelings for a long time, and he had unknowingly developed an antibody, which caused his emotional fluctuations at this moment to be not very intense, but more of a sudden enlightenment.

"Can all taskers be reset after death?" Chen Yang asked.

"There will be a pass line, and the judges are the rules in each task and the ghost NPC." Chao Jian shook his head, "When a quester dies, all the quest points will be reset twice if they pass the line. Chance."

Somehow, a pair of fox eyes appeared in Chen Yang's mind, and he subconsciously expressed his doubts in the bar that night.

"That boy's name is Chen Xishuang, and he's your teammate in the third mission after you reset." Chao Jian found that Chen Yang was barefoot, his complexion sank immediately, and he threw him back into the living room without putting the towel away top of the blanket.

Before Chen Yang stood up, he ran into the room to get his notebook, and he quickly flipped to the end, which was all the tasks he had recorded.His finger slid down the first task and landed on the third task.

Chen Xishuang was not among the taskers in Laoji Village.

Chao Jian's voice came from the door: "The tasker will have a new life and social relationship after reset. He doesn't remember you, and you won't remember him either."

Chen Yang slowly closed the heavy notebook, as if he forgot Chao Jian...

The next moment Chen Yang looked at Chao Jian: "I reset it, but you still remember me, is it because you are a black household?"

"Brother, I have forgotten you too." Chao Jian's eyes were bloodshot.

Chen Yang was taken aback, he lowered his eyes and put the notebook back in the drawer, and changed the subject: "Since Chen Xishuang can reset it a second time, it means that his ability is quite good." The herbal medicine for dampness probably has something to do with the other party.

"General." Chao Jian said, "He is a newcomer who can't be newer, and he failed in the first mission."

Chen Yang looked puzzled: "Then how did he get the reset opportunity?"

"The ghost Jiangren of Laoji Village sent him out." Chao Jian took Chen Yang into his arms and lay down on the bed beside him.

Chen Yang didn't remember Chen Xishuang anymore, so he naturally didn't know about the connection between Chen Xishuang and Ligui Jiangren.

But it was his luck and fate that Chen Xishuang could get the help of Li Gui.

"Reset, new life..." Chen Yang muttered, and he sat up suddenly: "Then my sister..."

Chao Jian looked at him.

Chen Yangfei said quickly: "Just pretend I didn't ask..."

Chao Jian said at the same time as him: "You don't have a sister."

The whole world has become dead silent.

Chen Yang jumped out of bed to look for the lighter and the cigarette case, but he couldn't find them after searching for a long time, and he seemed at a loss and confused.

Chao Jian picked up the cigarette case lying in front of his eyes: "Do you remember what your sister looks like?"

Chen Yang couldn't speak, he couldn't remember, the memory fragments about his sister were very fragmented, he not only forgot her face, but also forgot what happened to her.

"You are the same as other reset taskers, the whole social relationship is fake." Chao Jian squeezed Chen Yang's tense jaw, and put a cigarette between his teeth.

Chen Yang's teeth sank deep into the cigarette butt: "Then what happened before I reset?"

Chao Jian was silent for a moment: "You were an orphan before the reset."

The cigarette from Chen Yang's mouth fell to the table, no matter before or after the reset, he didn't have a sister.

No wonder Chao Jian talked to him about the reset for a long time, and he didn't remember to ask his sister about it until now.

So I don't have a sister...

Chen Yang's mind was blank, and his heart was sore and unbearable: "Then I remember that he likes to bite me, and always bites the same place, forcing me to overcome the fear of ghost stories, likes to eat milk chips and pineapple buns, likes to give me You peel melon seeds but don’t eat them yourself, you like shiny things, you like to collect gadgets, and you like origami boards?”

Chao Jian picked up the cigarette on the table, swallowed it, lowered her head and lit it: "The last three hobbies are not mine, but your own."

"You subconsciously put me together with you," he said.

Chen Yang remained motionless.

Zhao Jian took a few puffs of cigarettes, found out the incense and lit it up, and swept the green smoke in Chen Yang's direction: "I share the ID number with you, the frequency of your missions is affected by me, I am Your variable."

"Including the old teammates you met in the past, it's also because of me." Chao Jian said again.

Chen Yang's body was stiff, his head was swollen, and his vision was a little loose: "Old teammate?"

"You can't figure out why some questers died in the quest world. You obviously haven't cooperated but you can remember it. That's your old teammate, before the reset." Chao Jian stroked the scar on his left ear.

At that moment, several figures floated out of Chen Yang's mind. They were Xiangyue, a male nurse in the rehabilitation center, Ajing, Wu Yu's object, and the little mute's cousin.

Chen Yang's breathing was a little fast, no, not only the three of them, but also the uncle he met on the bus earlier, who had been staring at him since he got on the bus, and he was probably also a teammate.

Chao Jian did not let Chen Yang accept new information that day.

Chen Yang didn't go anywhere, he nestled in the room to clean up the severely damaged world, Chao Jian shaved his beard, brushed his teeth and washed his face with the help of the other side.

The mysteries were revealed one after another. Chen Yang tried his best to maintain the order in his heart. His mental state was extremely exhausted, which affected his body. He almost became a cripple who couldn't take care of himself.

After the buffer time of three or four days was over, Chao Jian collapsed the world that Chen Yang had finally cleaned up.

The seeds in the pots are fake, and so are the buds.

"It represents your threshold." Chao Jian said in a tone of "the fried dough sticks are not bad" while eating the fried dough sticks.

The spoon in Chen Yang's hand shook tremblingly into the bowl, he went to the balcony with both hands and feet, and returned to the living room with the flowerpot in both hands.

"Is this fake?" Chen Yang grabbed Chao Jian's hand to touch the flower bud, and said in shock, "Such a real touch, you tell me it's fake?"

Chao Jian took a sip of soy milk: "Ding Huichun is the head of District B of the rehabilitation center. The seeds are her special benefit. She lent them to me if she didn't need them for the time being. We will return them to her after we use them up. They are left to her." Her family."

Chen Yang's attention shifted from the buds to other places: "Where is Area B?"

"In the real world, that is also a task point." Chao Jian said, "Taskers who have passed the passing line will sleep there and accept resets. They will not be sent to Zone A or C here according to gender until the reset is complete. .”

Chen Yang squinted his bloodshot eyes, then he was in area B for more than two years in a coma, and he went to area A after waking up, and after half a year of rehabilitation in area A, he was discharged from the hospital, and started to do tasks again that day.

Originally, he was also grateful to the anonymous person for subsidizing his medical expenses, but who knew it was all fake.

"The third task is for the first half of this year. Chen Xishuang reset it so soon. Why did it take me so long?" Chen Yang sat down.

"Chen Xishuang was still a newcomer when he died. It will be easy to reset. You are different." Chao Jian brought the soy milk in front of Chen Yang, "You don't have the belief to go home. To you, doing tasks is to make friends, so you You've been on the road and you've done a lot of quests."

Chen Yang continued: "I didn't want to go to the finish line until I got on good terms with you."

Chao Jian stroked Chen Yang's back.

Chen Yang thought of Wen Qing, he just didn't want to go to the end.

"Are the mission world and the real world connected?" Chen Yang asked suddenly.

Nod to Jane.

Chen Yang picked up the cup, raised his head and gulped down the soy milk, no wonder it took only a moment to get in and out.

After drinking a cup of soy milk, Chen Yang pursed his lips: "Can I still reset it three times?"

Chao Jian: "No."

Chen Yang thought to himself, this is the last chance for him and Chao Jian.

In the afternoon, Chen Yang got a piece of information from Chao Jian. Sun Wenjun is the deputy head of District B, and his potted plants are also linked to the threshold.

If Chen Yang remembers correctly, Sun Wenjun's potted plants are always a branch with a small leaf, which shows that his threshold has reached a level and stagnated.

Sun Wenjun's business trip was very likely to try to change the threshold, but unfortunately he failed, he chose to take a step at a time.

Chen Yang recalled Sun Wenjun's farewell to him, and suspected that they were old teammates, or that they existed like comrades-in-arms.

But he couldn't remember, and when he lost his memory, he also lost that emotion.

Chen Yang looked at Chao Jian for cleaning: "You said you were born in Sanlianqiao, do you mean the real Sanlianqiao?"

"Yes." Chao Jian threw the dog mat to the balcony.

"Then what is the relationship between Jin Xiaochang and you?" Chen Yang saw the puppy chasing the mat, "Don't say it's just an ordinary doctor and patient, I don't believe that."

"He's my uncle." Chao Jian said neither fast nor slow.

Before Chen Yang could react, he heard Chao Jian say again: "It has been reset."

Those three words reveal a sense of powerlessness and helplessness. When the uncle resets the memory, the uncle and nephew become strangers. Even if the memory is restored, the emotion has not been restored, so the relationship between the two is both ordinary and delicate. .

Chen Yang deduced an idea from the looks of Chaojian and Jin Xiaochang. If the social relationship is changed, the genes will be retained to varying degrees. He suspected that Uncle Wu and the tasker Wu Qing were also relatives.

Chen Yang took the broom in Chao Jian's hand: "When will I be able to enter the last level?" Maybe he can remember everything after passing all the levels.

"Wait a little longer." Chao Jian didn't say much.

"Then what is the last task?" Chen Yang took a milk tablet from his pocket and opened it, "You have done it, tell me about your experience, I can prepare for it."

Chao Jian bit the nipple on Chen Yang's fingertips: "My last mission is a solo mission, and I'll go right in after you die."

Chen Yang was in a daze for a moment, that's right, he reset after failing the mission.

At that time, he died in the mission world, and Zhao Jian, who was only a mission person, didn't know that he would reset, thinking that he was really dead...

Chao Jian told his last mission in a story-telling tone. Chen Yang's death was his dream, and the last mission was the continuation of his nightmare.

It was the beauty and fear in Chao Jian's heart, which was composed of illusions. He witnessed Chen Yang turn from alive to dead again and again, and soon he developed multiple personality disorder and went crazy.

In the end, Chao Jian didn't know how he got out, and when he realized that Chen Yang was not in front of him, he was already standing at the finish line.

After hearing what Chao Jian said, Chen Yang didn't realize that his face was full of tears: "How many times have I died in the illusion?"

"Seventeen times."

Chao Jian scraped a little tear from Chen Yang's face with her index finger, put it into his mouth, and kissed it in the next second, sharing the bitterness with him.

"Brother, you died seventeen times in front of me." Chao Jian sighed between his lips and teeth.

Every time you tell me "be right back" and never come back.
