ID number 019

Ding Huichun came over around four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

It was already dark at that time, Chen Yang was standing in front of the cabinet on the balcony sorting out the sundries inside, when suddenly the roar of a locomotive came from the neighborhood.

Like a ferocious tiger breaking into this old city, roaring to show its majesty and majesty.

Chen Yang stuffed the old mouse pad back into the cabinet, and he rushed to the edge of the guardrail with a few strides, looking down.

A black locomotive came against the wind, the lines of the model were smooth and cold, and the mud and snow flew everywhere it passed.

The locomotive stopped downstairs, and the woman took off her helmet, raised her thin neck, and shook her long withered yellow hair. She turned over, and her movements were chic and neat. The whole person looked like a combination of a free traveler and a prisoner.

Chen Yang couldn't help sighing, Ding Huichun is really a strange woman.

Ding Huichun didn't bring her long pipe this time, but a black bag slung across her body for potted plants. She stepped on black leather boots and went upstairs, knocking on the door of Chen Yang's house.

"Where is Chaojian?" Ding Huichun looked at Chen Yang who was wearing home clothes.

"It's making soup." Chen Yang brought her a cotton mop.

Ding Huichun smelled the old chicken soup from the kitchen: "...he will?"

"Yes." Chen Yang said, "At first he really couldn't do it, but later he will."

"He couldn't even cook rice well before." Ding Huichun looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang also looked at her with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"It's not important." Ding Huichun put on cotton slippers, took off the black messenger bag and threw it on the shoe cabinet, she glanced at her little white dog curiously with a pair of small amber eyes, "This is 03? "

Chen Yang came back to his senses: "Yes."

Ding Huichun said: "I am allergic to dog hair."

Before Chen Yang could react, he heard her say, "But it doesn't feel bad."

Ding Huichun entered the living room, Chen Yang saw her bent down to pick up the puppy, and seemed to understand what she meant.

It is not only happiness and happiness that make people feel alive, but also discomfort and discomfort.

Ding Huichun remembers how Chao Jian smiled and greeted his teammates. He also saw how fiercely he slayed monsters, and how his teammates who insisted on carrying the corpse change did not give up, but he never saw him wearing an apron and cutting ginger. .

Not to mention, it's kind of like that.Ding Huichun was admiring at the door of the kitchen. Just as she was about to take out her mobile phone to take two pictures, she turned to Jane and looked at her sideways. He swung the kitchen knife in her hand, and the blade stood on the cutting board, making a toothache sound.

Ding Huichun's gray lips twitched: "You continue."

In the living room, Chen Yang tied up a bag of cashew nuts. He saw Ding Huichun coming from the kitchen, his long legs as thin as hemp stalks striding very far, as if he would be whipped if he walked slowly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yang asked.

"Your boyfriend is really shy when he cooks." Ding Huichun grabbed a handful of original melon seeds from the fruit plate.

"..." Chen Yang put the trash can in front of her, and sat next to her to eat melon seeds with her.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yang knew that Ding Huichun's former ID number was 02117, and some of his teammates were also her teammates, such as Wenqing, Zheng Zhitan, Miss Qiao, and Xiangzimu.

Ding Huichun and them are ordinary teammates who have cooperated once or twice, not comrades-in-arms with deep friendship, and they have not met since they finished the mission.

"The chance of duplication of members in each mission is not high," Ding Huichun said. "The reason why we have these few common teammates is because everyone has reset for the second time and has more teammates." She changed Said, "Except for Wen Qing, he is an exception. Although he has not been reset, his task load is more than many resets."

Chen Yang nodded. He and Ding Huichun had mutual teammates, but they had never cooperated."Have you been reset?" he asked.

"Yes." Ding Huichun said calmly, "The first time I stopped at the No.30 second mission, the second time was when I was betrayed by my teammates in the ninth mission, and Chao Jian saved my life. Do a dozen missions to clear the level."

"Is there any smoke?" Ding Huichun asked immediately.

Chen Yang went to get the cigarette case and lighter and came over: "How does it feel to have done too many tasks?"

"I don't feel it, it's the same as eating and drinking water." Ding Huichun opened the cigarette case, "Chao Jian told you my identity, I have a list in my hand."

Chen Yang took a breath.

"The list of passers." Ding Huichun held a cigarette in front of his nose and smelled it, "I can't say the details, it's against the rules."

"Actually, the word 'threshold' can't be mentioned. We can tell you because we found a loophole in the rules and tried to make that word escape its detection. I can't disclose other things. I dare not take risks. To find my relatives, I need the special benefits brought by that identity." Ding Huichun seemed not used to smoking Chen Yang's cigarettes, she took a puff and coughed twice, the blood vessels in her neck swelled and turned blue. There was a touch of blood in the whites of his eyes.

Chen Yang handed over a glass of water.

Ding Huichun waved his hand: "Back to the topic, Chao Jian is the only one among the current customs clearance personnel who has not been reset."

Chen Yang maintained the movement of putting the water glass back on the coffee table, his back was a little stiff, Zhao Jian had never died, but he was dragged to the brink of death by the hand of fate, dragged him by the neck countless times, and finally Falling into a serious mental illness, he will never recover for the rest of his life.

Of course, neither is easy.

Whether you pass the level or not, everyone has their own story.The story is full of all kinds of luck and misfortune.

"Chao Jian said that the last level is a single-player mission, full of illusions." Chen Yang peeled the melon seeds.

Ding Huichun said: "He guessed it based on me, his brother-in-law, and his situation. The three of us will walk alone in the last level."

"It can't be said to be a solo walk. When you enter a fantasy, you are one of them, and the people and things in the fantasy are real in that background." Ding Huichun took off his leather jacket and put it aside, revealing the inside. In single clothes, she is too thin, her collarbone is protruding.

Chen Yang picks the melon seeds absently. All the illusions in Chao Jian's last level are related to him. The task is to witness his death again and again.What about him?

"What illusions might there be..." Chen Yang said to himself.

"It varies from person to person." Ding Huichun said, "Whatever is in your life will be in the illusion."

"Isn't life all fake?" Chen Yang gasped after asking, no, everything before the reset was real.

So, the last level is a revolving lantern? !

Chen Yang was a little dazed, no wonder he asked Chao Jian what it was like to do tasks before, and Chao Jian said that if he really wanted to see it, he might be able to see it.

That's what happened.

Chen Yang put the melon seeds that he broke into his mouth, he was the only one in Chao Jian's world, so every illusion revolved around him.

For Chao Jian, whether it is hope or despair, it is his elder brother who gives it.

"I want to ask you something. Sometimes my memory is very clear, and sometimes it's blurry. This phenomenon has become more and more serious recently. It's the same in my dreams. I will dream about my former teammates." Chen Yang said.

Chen Yang didn't discuss it with Chao Jian, because he could see that behind Chao Jian's calmness was pain and anxiety, and he had to put as little pressure on Chao Jian as possible.

"It's normal." Ding Huichun flicked the ash into the trash can, "When the threshold reaches a limit, it will affect the memory."

Chen Yang rubbed his fingertips, and it turned out to be like this: "Then the one who was signed up for review..."

"Take it as an ordinary task." Ding Huichun said.

Chen Yang: "Huh?" How is the review linked to the task?Is there a judge for scoring in the task?

"When the day I go in, Chaojian will tell you." Ding Huichun's thin chin tilted towards the kitchen.

"Okay." Chen Yang put the melon seeds that he hadn't peeled for a long time back into the fruit plate. His habit of liking to eat melon seeds but not peeling them was cultivated by Chao Jian, and he couldn't change it.

"There are no taboos in the last test. Winning or losing depends on your own beliefs." Ding Huichun said without malice, "Of course, you may not be able to pass the review."

"..." Chen Yang was surprised, "Can't you pass?"

"It's inconvenient for me to say anything about the standards and rules of the review task." Ding Huichun said, "You can wait for Chaojian to tell you."

Chen Yang changed the question: "What will happen if you fail the review?"

"If you can't pass the review, you won't be able to enter the final level. There will be two endings. One, you will die in the review task. Second, you will come out after completing the review task, continue to do the task and move forward. When the threshold is reached again, you will be registered."

Chen Yang said "Oh": "I understand."

Ding Huichun raised his light and sparse eyebrows, Chen Yang's heart was stronger than when she saw her last time.

Chao Jian had lost once, and he couldn't lose it a second time, so even though Chen Yang was enough to be alone, he was still worried.

"Will the buds turn back into seeds after they bloom?" Chen Yang asked abruptly.

"Well." Ding Huichun said, "At first Chaojian found me and asked me to borrow the threshold seed. I bound it to you, and it will be automatically unbound and formatted when it blooms."

Chen Yang nodded, Ding Huichun wanted to leave the threshold seed to his relatives.

"A few of my friends are traumatized..." Chen Yang looked at Ding Huichun with a pleading look on his face.

"You send me their addresses, and I will send them incense regularly." Ding Huichun replied before Chen Yang finished speaking. She doesn't deal with people, and this is her limit.

Chen Yang smiled gratefully: "Thank you."

"Thank you for lending me the threshold seed." He said again.

Ding Huichun accepted Chen Yang's thanks, because if she didn't accept it, it might become a knot in Chen Yang's heart.

And the heart knot is the central point of the illusion.

Ding Huichun glanced at Chao Jian who came out of the kitchen, hoping that Chen Yang would take him away from the abyss and sea of ​​suffering, return to the bright sunshine, and be the boy he was before.

Ding Huichun didn't take the flowerpot away, she just wrapped the buds and stems in a bag, and then put them in the bag, very simple and rude.

The pots stayed.

Chao Jian washed it clean and traced the painting on it several times.

Chen Yang couldn't stand it and said, "Let's stop touching it, okay?" It was really ugly.

"I'll teach you how to draw after you go out." Chen Yang coaxed.

Only then did Chao Jian put down the flowerpot.

Chen Yang thought that he would be able to enter the review task within a few days, so he waited and waited, and waited until Christmas, New Year's Day, and New Year's Day were approaching.

So Chen Yang knew that waiting was impossible, so he calmed down and played the game.

When Chen Yang was depressed, he found that Chao Jian had no intention of comforting him, so he learned to relieve himself.

Later, Chen Yang unknowingly adapted to the painting style of the game, accepting the sunshine in the first half of it, full of vitality, and the dark and lifeless second half.

Later, when Seven died and the screen was covered in blood, Chen Yang was eating dragon fruit, his mind as calm as water.

Wen Qing, who is at the opposite door, flew abroad to be the young master of the Shao family. He was very busy and idle, and as long as there was any movement in the group, he would have his share.

There was one more member in the group, Zhao Yuan, how excited the group was, so high that Chao Jian blocked his and Chen Yang's group message notifications.

Young people stayed up all night, sometimes when Chen Yang got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom to check his phone, Zhao Yuan was still chatting with Pineapple Cake, so he was convinced.

Chen Yang found a sunny day and went to the street with Chao Jian. He ate a corn cob while walking, his voice was vague: "We originally agreed that you will accompany me to find a job next year."

"The plan can't keep up with the changes." Chao Jian put one hand on Chen Yang's shoulder and clasped the back of his head with his palm.

"Yes." Chen Yang threw the unfinished corn on the cob into the trash can.

Frowning at Jane: "I didn't eat."

"I gnawed like that, you still want to eat?" Chen Yang didn't control his volume, and the girls who peeked at Jian for a long time looked dull.

Chen Yang was about to drag Chao Jian away, when he suddenly heard him whisper: "When you eat a dirty bug, remember to give half of it to me."

"..." Where is the trash can, I'm going to vomit.

Chen Yang bought several boxes of milk tablets for Chao Jian to coax him. The two sat in the underground leisure club they visited last time and ordered the matcha ice cream they ordered last time.

At that time they sat facing each other, but this time they sat next to each other.

Chen Yang grabbed Chao Jian's hand and played with it, and his criteria for choosing a spouse emerged in his mind: one with a soft waist, good legs, and looks he likes.

Tsk.Chen Yang smacked his mouth lightly.

Zhao Jian glanced at Chen Yang and knew what he was thinking: "You have nothing to say to me?"

"You have quite a lot of tricks." Chen Yang commented objectively, "It's a bit coquettish."

"Oh." Chao Jian sneered, "At that time, you said that my conditions were easy to find a partner, and I said that you were the only one in my life circle, and then, you brought me a bunch..."

Chen Yang covered his mouth in embarrassment: "Don't turn over the old score, I'm in a hurry with you."

Thinking back now, those who rejected his milk tablets are likely to be insiders. They have already seen Chao Jian's thoughts on him, except for him, he is a piece of wood.

It's not his fault. If Chao Jian doesn't come with him, the passion is high, and the water flows long and moistens the things silently. He can't tell.How else to put it, the authorities are fans.

Chao Jian grabbed Chen Yang's hand, lowered her eyes and kissed his palm, all the way to his fingertips.

Chen Yang panted lightly.

"Brother, be careful outside." Chao Jian frowned.

Chen Yang's old face turned red and then black, and he withdrew his hand, only to be held again the next second.

When Xiang Dong called, Chen Yang was eating beef vermicelli. He put down his chopsticks and picked up the phone, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Tang...Baitang recently encountered something weird, related to you. He is sick and his mind is very confused. I am afraid that I can't understand, so let me talk to you." Xiang Dong said in a very serious manner. .

Chen Yang leaned on the back of the sofa: "Say it."

"He dreamed of you, in the dream..." Xiang Dong was interrupted by Chen Yang at the beginning, "Wait!"

Chen Yang hung up the phone, turned to look at Chao Jian: "Baitang dreamed of me."

"Your threshold is about to reach the critical point. As long as the secondary resetter who has done the mission with you comes into contact with you, the threshold will be fluctuated." Chao Jian put the peanuts he found into Chen Yang's bowl, "The size of the fluctuation Depends on how much they are in your memory."

Chen Yang had expected it in his heart, but his face changed drastically after hearing the words: "Baitang, he..."

Like him, Bai Tang only had one last chance.

Chen Yang called Xiang Dong and asked directly, "What is Baitang's ID number?"

"That guy's ID number is much smaller than Lao Tzu's. He is 03141. Damn it, Lao Tzu has seven digits and he has five!" Xiang Dong returned to his usual fiery temper.

"Don't talk about your ID number, let's talk about dreams. He dreamed that you went up the mountain to find clues, and you pulled him up and called him Xiaobai." Xiang Dong said meaningfully, "He also dreamed that you were sitting under a tree and writing a diary , broke an arm."

Chen Yang thought to himself, it seems that those two dreams were the task of cooperation between him and Baitang, and Xiang Dong on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed strangely: "Baitang dreamed of you twice, he doesn't know how many times I have." It's..."

"What did you say?" Chen Yang stood up.

"You are hard of hearing! I said I dreamed of you more times than Baitang!" Xiang Dong yelled.

Chen Yang's ears kept buzzing, Xiang Dong also...

Xiang Dong talked about the few clips that flashed through his mind, as well as the dreams he had: "Just this way, Baitang and I were your teammates in the previous life."

Chen Yang was silent for a while: "What if I say yes?"

Xiang Dong was not silent, he said leisurely: "I have already guessed it."

The next moment he cursed: "This bullshit world is fake, it must be fake, I wanted to pretend to be stupid, but now I have to force me to get rid of it!"

Chen Yang's eardrum hurts, and his head hurts, he took a deep breath: "Let's meet and talk."

There was a voice of violently throwing cans to the east: "Success, let's just this weekend, come to my place, or come to yours?"

Chen Yang said: "Go to your place, your living room is so big, I can't sit if there are too many people."

"I'm too lazy to talk about you, I don't know how to live in another villa with that box of diamonds." Xiang Dong hung up the phone cursing.

Chen Yang squeezed his phone and frowned. He, Wu Yu and Xiang Dong had similar social relations.

Wu Yu became the childhood sweetheart he grew up with, and then became strange and alienated, while Xiang Dong was sleepy at first and harassed him, and later became his friend, and then his comrade-in-arms.

Does this have something to do with his experience before the reset?

Chen Yang looked down at Chao Jian who was still looking for peanuts for him: "Bai Tang and Xiang Dong used to be my teammates?"

"As I said, when I met you, you were already an old tasker who had done many tasks." Chao Jian said.

Chen Yang sat down, and Chao Jian didn't know who all his teammates were along the way.When he remembered everything, everything would be clear.

This is actually not the most important thing, the most important thing is to clear the customs and leave with Chao Jian.

"Aren't Xiang Dong and Bai Tang going too soon?" Chen Yang scratched the back of Chao Jian's hand.

Chao Jian looked indifferent: "I don't know."

"I never cared about other people's business," he said.

Chen Yang hugged him.

Chao Jian was stunned: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you should be careful outside?"

"You're not happy, brother coaxing you." Chen Yang quickly kissed him on the cheek and sat back.

Chao Jian: "Why not on the other side?"

Chen Yang looked around, there was no one in this area, and it was still a blind spot.

Even so, Chen Yang picked up his coat to cover himself and Chao Jian, and kissed him in the shadow.

Chen Yang did not expect to see Xiang Zimu again on this day, and it was not long after he and Chao Jian left the clubhouse.

Xiangzimu was wearing a white down jacket that reached to her ankles. She pulled up the hat at the back and put it on her head. A large and thick scarf was wrapped around it to block her chin. She was also wearing a mask. Showing a pair of black and white eyes.

Chen Yang thought of the golden rice fields in his dream. He was wearing a straw hat and holding a sickle in his hand. This woman stood in the woods and called him "Brother Yang". They were teammates.

Chao Jian went to line up to buy sesame seed cakes for Chen Yang, and Xiang Zimu appeared behind him, so it couldn't be such a coincidence.

Chen Yang was waiting for her to speak.

This is a sheltered corner, Chen Yang was shrouded in the pale yellow sun, Xiang Zimu stood outside the sun watching him, there was no sign of going in.

"Brother Yang." Xiang Zimu suddenly called softly, "You remember me, don't you?"

Chen Yang looked at her, and said after a long time, "I lost my memory."

"That's not called amnesia, that's called rebirth." Xiang Zimu shook his head, "Before the reset, it was the previous life, and after the reset, it's the present life."

Chen Yang felt that this statement was reasonable, and it was indeed the case. He tentatively asked, "Are you a black household?"

"I'm not, I haven't cleared the customs." Xiangzimu said, "My ID number is 018. We are the same group of taskers. I am your old comrade in arms. We have fought side by side many times."

Because Chen Yang only dreamed about Xiang Zimu once, his emotional ups and downs were not great: "That time in the small town..."

"I entered an illusion in the attic of the small town. There are familiar people and strangers in the illusion." Xiangzimu's voice feels like icicles scraping the wall in winter, cold and bitter, mixed with a few Divided into the mistyness of the pine and snow in the distant mountains.

"Everything in that illusion makes me sure that it is my previous life experience. You are in my illusion." Xiangzimu paused for a second, "You are someone I knew in my previous life, a very important person."

Finding that there was no memory in Chen Yang's eyes, Xiangzimu paused again, this time she paused for a full minute before speaking: "I only have some fragments in my mind, but enough, enough to confirm our relationship. "

Doubts welled up in Chen Yang's heart, did Xiang Zimu reset it?

"Yes, I reset it. I came to this life from the previous life." Xiang Zimu took out his hand from the pocket of the down jacket, and took off the mask on one side, revealing a flawless white face, "My brother Xiangyue is in District B Going to work, I only recognized him when I went in there to do a task, he is an NPC."

The meaning is clear, all she knows about the reset is what her younger brother told her.

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, that Xiangyue is not dead, it's good.

"He appeared in Area A to give you a diary." Xiang Zimu said, "It's very risky."

Chen Yang, he has also done missions in Area B, 03 is familiar with him, and Xiangyue may have the same reason.

"What do the lines in the diary mean?" Chen Yang asked.

"I haven't remembered that part yet." Xiang Zimu looked at him and said, "Maybe you will remember it before me."

A small world is formed on the corner of the street, blocking the lively and noisy streets.

Chen Yang leaned his back against the wall and rubbed his fingers against the phone screen.

Xiangzimu murmured: "The same thing, if you think about it from another angle, there will be two results. We all thought that entering the mission world is a disaster or a nightmare, but in fact, we can only enter with good luck. The survival of the fittest is selected by genes, and those who cannot enter are all eliminated. Yes, there will be no chance of getting a new life..."

Chen Yang, who was thinking about something, raised his head in response. Chao Jian who was not far away found Xiang Zimu. The queue was not lined up, and he strode towards this side. The air pressure was so low that people around him dared not get too close.

Just when Chen Yang was going to meet him, Xiang Zimu's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Did he tell you that you died because of him?"

Chen Yang was stunned, he shifted his gaze from Chao Jian to Xiang Zimu: "You just said..."

"I knew it wasn't." Xiang Zimu smiled after finishing speaking.

This was the first time Chen Yang saw Xiangzi Muxiao, and a familiar cold came out, which was suppressed by him.

Because Xiang Zimu's smile was full of sarcasm.This made Chen Yang uncomfortable.

"Cause and effect, there is no cause, where does the effect come from?" Xiangzimu pulled down the hat of the down jacket, her black hair fluttered in the wind, and the tip of her hair swept across her smiling face from time to time, but her eyes were red, " Brother Yang, Chao Jian's today was not caused by you, but by himself."

Chen Yang's throat moved.

"You died, he suffered from multiple personality disorder and went crazy, you feel guilty and distressed, but you never thought that if his leg injury didn't drag you down, you wouldn't have died at all!" Xiangzimu repeated the last few words several times , the emotions began to lose control, "He killed you!"

Chen Yang basked in the sun and remembered one thing. In the mission of the old building, when he delivered the courier, Chao Jian fell into a coma, and Xiang Dong, who was hit hard on the head, lay next to him, and said a few words to him .

"Do you know where Chao Jian really went crazy?"

"I told him, you died because of him, you were killed by him, he killed you."

"However he looks like that, it looks like he has been stabbed to death. In the past and present lives, he killed you in the last life."

"Do you think it's mysterious? They all have ID numbers and entered the mission world, so what's impossible?"

Chen Yang raised his eyes to see Chao Jian who was approaching, and heard Xiang Zimu's suppressed sobbing, she was already crying.

"Brother Yang, do you know what you looked like when you died?" Xiangzimu said with tears, "I dreamed it, I dreamed it, I dreamed about the whole mission, you at that time..."

"Shut up!" A ferocious roar tore through the void and broke into the corner.

Xiangzimu reflexively took two steps back and left Chen Yang, she wiped away her tears and walked back, standing beside Chen Yang.

While staring at distracted Chen Yang closely, Chao Jian tried to pick the lid of the medicine bottle with trembling hands, but he couldn't open it, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the medicine bottle throbbed violently.

A few seconds later, a fishy sweetness overflowed from Chao Jian's throat, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and the slightly deformed medicine bottle between his fingers smashed vigorously at Xiang Zimu.
