The school grass said he had no money

After that day, Yue Shu started guarding his phone, for fear of missing any news about the live broadcast mission.

Chen Haoran usually skipped classes, and he didn't even go back to his dormitory these days. Yue Shu called several times, and the boy said that something happened in his hometown and he would be back before the final exam.

This time, only Yue Shu and Ye Jingshuo were left in the dormitory, making it look like a room for two.

Although Su Hang came to class as usual, Yue Shu could only talk to him a few words between classes, but Su Hang didn't mention a word about the photo. , busy with the matter at hand, as if he didn't have time to talk to him.

In the end, Yue Shu took a peek at his computer and found that there were countless codes on it. Suhang probably had already completed several pages, densely covering the entire screen.

Yue Shu finally couldn't bear it any longer, and asked in a low voice while in class: "Are you still typing codes?"

Suhang glanced at him, and suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Yue Shu had a bad feeling.

Suhang hooked his fingers at him, motioning him to come closer.

Yue Shu was skeptical and shook his head.

Suhang clicked his tongue, grabbed his collar and dragged him over: "Guess what I used to do?"

Yue Shu was a little confused by the question, he didn't know which past Su Hang was asking about, this life or his previous life, so he tentatively asked: "Photographer?"

Suhang shook his head and whispered in his ear, "Actually, I'm a hacker."

Yue Shu was taken aback for a moment, then almost laughed out loud.

Su Hang looked at him angrily: "You don't believe it?"

Yue Shu suppressed a smile: "I'd rather believe that I was really a star in my previous life than believe that you were a hacker, that's ridiculous haha..."

"You don't believe me, do you?" Suhang raised his chin towards Ye Jingshuo with a dark face, "Ask him."

Yue Shu turned his attention to Ye Jingshuo who was seated next to him.

I thought Ye Jingshuo would have a provocative and indifferent face as usual, but unexpectedly, the man didn't respond, but raised his eyes slightly: "Well, it's true."

Yue Shu was shocked.

After confirming that it wasn't these two people working together to deceive him, Yue Shu looked at the code on Su Hang's computer in amazement, and looked at Su Hang again: "Are you really a hacker?"

Suhang raised his eyebrows: "Is this the letter?"

For the male circle, the profession of hacking has always been sacred and cool. Not to mention roommates, if anyone has a network and happens to know a hacker, whether they are familiar with it or not, it is an extremely lofty thing worth bragging about.

Before this, Yue Shu was completely unable to match this profession with the image of Suhang.

Suhang's image instantly grew a little taller.

"That's awesome..." Yue Shu couldn't help looking at Su Hang's hairline: "You're not bald in this job?"

"Looking for death?" Su Hang kept moving his hands and said, "It's not a programmer."

Yue Shu asked the long-suffering doubt: "Then what have you been doing these two days?"

Suhang glanced at him and said lightly, "I'm hacking into your live broadcast system."

Yue Shu was surprised: "Can this kind of thing be done?"

"Of course." Su Hang smiled lightly: "Don't you see who I am?"

Ye Jingshuo put down what he was doing, put his arm around Yueshu's shoulder from behind, and asked casually, "Is there any progress?"

Suhang: "..."

Yue Shu asked curiously: "What can you do after the intrusion?"

Su Hang said: "You get him down, I'll tell you."

Yue Shu patted Ye Jingshuo's hand off.

Suhang said slowly: "The other party must have been prepared. Although it is difficult to find out the host's information, but luckily, I can lock his position."

Yue Shu opened his eyes slightly: "That means we can find where he is now?"

Su Hang nodded.

Ye Jingshuo pondered for a moment and said, "How accurate?"

Su Hang raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Accurate to the urban area of ​​the province, which street and building he is currently in, including the floor and house number."

Yue Shu was dumbfounded, "Then what should we do now? Go find him?"

Su Hang shook his head: "No, it's not that time yet, I just found his position, but he is still moving."

"Once moved, the data will be messed up, and it is difficult to determine the specific location and coordinates."

"I can't wait anymore." Ye Jingshuo put away his backpack, his tone was cold: "It's now, where is he?"

Su Hang lowered his eyes, quickly entered the code, and after he pressed the Enter key, a small location map popped up on the screen.

Suzhou and Hangzhou moved and zoomed in, and the street signs around the icon became clearer and clearer. Yue Shu couldn't help but move over and found that the icon stayed in their province and city. When zooming in again, he saw...the name of their school.

Ye Jingshuo's eyes gradually darkened, looking dark and gloomy.

Yue Shu was surprised: "What's going on?"

Su Hang's face was not very good-looking: "Wait, it's not over yet."

The map gradually zoomed in to the overall setting of their school, skipping the classroom, playground, and library. The icons didn't stop until they passed these familiar buildings... and finally stopped at the last one—the boys' dormitory building.

Exactly where their bedroom is located:

Room 407, Building [-].

Several people gasped at the same time, Yue Shu felt cold on the soles of his feet, a chill came to the back of his head, and his lips trembled a little: "He is in our dormitory..."

Suhang put the computer into the backpack.

Ye Jingshuo whispered, "Let's go."

The three found a lame excuse to go to the toilet with their bags on their backs, and left the classroom together. The teaching building and the dormitory are not far apart, but there must be a distance of 5 to 10 minutes to be serious.

They rushed to the fourth floor and stopped at the main entrance of Room 407.

Several people exchanged glances with each other, Ye Jingshuo took a step forward and turned the doorknob, but found that the door was not locked.

But before he and Yue Shu left today, they remembered clearly that they locked the door.

During this period, Su Hang did not return to the dormitory.

The veins on the back of Ye Jingshuo's hands bulged, and his eyes were stained with a hint of sternness. He didn't hesitate anymore, and the next second, the door was kicked open with a bang.

What I didn't expect was that what caught my eye was the curtains blown by the wind, and the aisle facing the window was empty, as if there was no one there.

Yue Shu's Adam's apple twitched, "No one?"

Ye Jingshuo didn't speak, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he still stepped in and walked in.

The four seats were empty, Yue Shu felt a little frustrated, he hurried, but they were still one step too late.

At this time, there was a sudden movement on the upper bunk bed.

Chen Haoran's confused voice came from above: "Who is it?"

Yue Shu wanted to slap him to death at this moment. He breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to pat the kid on the head: "Why are you back? You didn't say a word?"

Chen Haoran said aggrievedly: "I sent you a message, but you didn't see it."

Yue Shu looked down at the phone, and found that Chen Haoran had indeed sent him a message, but he hadn't seen it half an hour ago.

"You guys are too domineering, you kick the door..." Chen Haoran's hair was messed up, and he was aggrieved: "I just fell asleep so sleepy, and I think I can sleep for a long time... No, you guys just slept for a while. Will not come back, why did you skip class?"

Suhang snorted: "Yes, I escaped."

Ye Jingshuo didn't speak until now, and only then did he pay attention, interrupted their conversation, and asked casually, "Why are you wearing a sweater while sleeping?"

Chen Haoran was stunned for a moment: "Didn't I just come back, I didn't have time to change, I couldn't open my sleepy eyes, and fell asleep right away."

Yue Shu still felt that something was wrong, and after pondering for a while, he asked Chen Haoran: "Did you hear...who came in?"

Chen Haoran was taken aback by the question: "No one, I was alone in the dormitory, and just as soon as I fell asleep, you came back."

He was a little confused by the question, and then became alert, "Fuck... a thief broke into our dormitory?"

Suhang swallowed lightly and waved his hands, obviously not wanting to talk nonsense with this idiot: "Shut up, sleep with you, it's useless at all."

He picked up his laptop bag, turned and went out: "Don't wait for me, I'll go out and have a look."

The door was slammed shut, Chen Haoran was scolded at a loss, looked at Yue Shu: "Where did I mess with him?"

Yue Shu couldn't laugh or cry, his heart was full of disappointment, he leaned against the cabinet door: "He is in a bad mood."

Chen Haoran asked naively: "Why is it not good?"

Seeing him like this, Yue Shu suddenly understood why Suhang was so angry, he suppressed the anger reluctantly, and said: "Why do you have so many problems, sleep with you."

Chen Haoran: "..."

No clues were found. After the two left the dormitory, they went to the cafeteria to have dinner.

Yue Shu fiddled with the noodles angrily, and couldn't help but speculate: "Did that person know we were coming back, so he left early?"

Ye Jingshuo said: "Since he can find the dormitory, it won't be difficult to keep track of our whereabouts."

A chill slowly crept up Yue Shu's back. He thought that the so-called murderer was far away from him, but he didn't expect that the other party not only knew their lives well, but could even invade their lives without leaving a trace. .

Maybe that person is lurking by their side, pretending to be an acquaintance with them and negotiating with them normally.

Yue Shu said: "What should I do now, are you going back to the dormitory tonight?"

"To be on the safe side, we'll live outside tonight, but since he knows our location and wants to attack in the dormitory, he won't wait until today." Ye Jingshuo paused, his eyes gradually became sharper from hesitation, and said, "Maybe he's waiting for us." An opportunity."

"What time?"

Ye Jingshuo took out a stack of thick newspapers from his bag, most of which were cut, and handed them to Yue Shu: "Look at this."

Yue Shu took a look and found that this stack of newspapers was about countless cases of accidental death.

The dates are unevenly distributed, there are months or even weeks apart, but they are concentrated in similar periods.

"A male college student in City A hanged himself late at night on the teaching building, and his body had been hanging for seven days when he was found."

"A anchor X in Linjiang was live-streaming, and his pet pitbull suddenly went mad and bit the owner. X lost a lot of blood and died after rescue."

"A woman in city C was visiting a haunted house project in the entertainment city. She suffered a cardiac arrest at night after returning home. The family members are currently pursuing accountability."

……

Yue Shu looked at it, and panicked inexplicably, because these cases all have one thing in common, that is, these people have... participated in the task of the live broadcast APP.

Yue Shu said: "Their live broadcast mission...failed?"

Ye Jingshuo nodded.

"At present, there are more than [-] people left, but that person only appeared in this city, so he came rushing towards us." Ye Jingshuo lowered his eyes, "Usually lurking by our side quietly, waiting until the mission is over , he will probably appear, in a way we didn't expect."

Yue Shu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came up, and he came up with a bold and unrealistic idea: "Is he also one of the players?"

Ye Jingshuo shook his head and said, "It's just my intuition at the moment."

"So..." Yue Shu's Adam's apple twitched, "He wants to eliminate me during the mission, so that I will meet his death conditions, or wait until the end, we think we are survivors, and then he..."

He suddenly couldn't say the following words, because no one could imagine what would be waiting for them after all the missions were over.

Ye Jingshuo said: "It seems that he can only attack during the mission, like hunting in a game, but we are safe now."

Yue Shu's pupils shrank slightly, his hands and feet felt cold, and a voice stuck to his ears suddenly appeared in his mind, like a snake letter. After repeated, the male voice was playful and sinister, and said to him: "The game has begun!" ".

It's as real as it ever happened.

Ye Jingshuo noticed that something was wrong with Yue Shu, and immediately leaned over: "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Yue Shu shook his head and said it's okay. The overlapping of memories that have been flooding up recently is a common occurrence. There are more and more fragments put together, as if a huge skeleton is about to be supported. By then, will everything be different?

He paused, and suddenly remembered that there was also a failure in Ye Jingshuo's video, his lips quivered, and said, "But the previous mission failed, you..."

"Well, I was almost eliminated too." Ye Jingshuo smiled wryly. Yue Shu knew what the word 'elimination' meant, but the man recalled lightly: "The blood on my body last time in the teaching building is just like this." here."

He thought for a while: "Probably too many people participated in the first three times, so even if the mission fails, not all of them will die due to force majeure, but in the end, there will be fewer people left."

Not everyone is as lucky as he and Ye Jingshuo. The fewer people left, the more people died. They don't have the luck of newcomers, nor the experience of veterans. They just happened to participate because of curiosity or a tempting amount. Challenges, if the number of people in a certain live broadcast is not enough, the duration of a certain time does not meet the standard, or various unexpected failures, they will bear the force majeure of bad luck and death.

The closer to the end, the more secretive the task, the greater the scale and difficulty.

Until now, Yue Shu really understood that what they were fighting against was not only the murderer, but also the unknown force that could not be resisted. Whoever violated the rules once would be punished, and even the so-called "murderer" had to follow the rules.

In this world, even something as absurd as rebirth can happen, so what is impossible?

Yue Shu felt the soreness on the tip of his nose, and at the same time he was afraid, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Didn't I just sit here?" Ye Jingshuo smiled softly, stroked his hair, and said, "It's not too late now."

Yue Shu lowered his eyes, complex and strong emotions welled up in his heart, his eyes were hot, and he said 'I'm sorry' in a low voice.

Ye Jingshuo looked at his reddened nose, and the tenderness in his eyes was like water: "If you cry again, I will kiss you in public."

……

"It doesn't matter." Yue Shu stopped the mist in his eyes, and he said silently: "...I didn't say I hated it."

Ye Jingshuo thought he heard it wrong, so he rarely showed a slightly surprised expression: "What did you just say?"

At this moment, Ye Jingshuo's cell phone rang suddenly.

"..." The man's face darkened, as if there was something deliberately hindering them in the dark, and every time it came to a critical moment, various factors would come to interfere.

Ye Jingshuo picked up the phone with a worried face, answered it, and said coldly, "You better have something important."

"...Ye Jingshuo."

A male voice came from the microphone, the tone was not normal, and the voice had obviously been processed.

"Mission theme: Magnetic... drag racing."

"Deadline: before nineteen o'clock."

"This time... Ci... you can choose one of the two missions... Ci... First, choose the main road with peak traffic flow, drive a motorcycle, the speed must not be lower than... Ci... 90, drive for 5 minutes, and complete it when you come out alive Task."

The sound was full of noise from time to time, as if the signal was extremely poor.

No one would have imagined that at the penultimate level, the task turned into a phone call, and it was so unexpected.

Ye Jingshuo: "What about the second type?"

"The second type... Magnetic... Bring your companion, if the mission is successful, he can skip... Magnetic... the next mission, and automatically jump to the last level."

"Knowing that I have a motorcycle, you are really not easy. Are you afraid that I will recognize who you are?" Ye Jingshuo sneered. He didn't believe that the task of the penultimate level would be so simple. The other party obviously didn't finish talking, so he said: " So, what's your condition?"

The voice on the other side paused for a moment, and then came slowly: "No matter what kind... When you drive... Ci...you must cover your eyes."

Ye Jingshuo clenched his fists suddenly.

"Time is limited... Magnetic... You still have five or ten minutes."

The next second, the microphone was hung up.

Ye Jingshuo's eyes were cold, what is the meaning of this mission?

Driving in the peak traffic with eyes closed for 5 minutes is basically a death sentence for a person. This is a task for him alone, and the difficulty has reached this level.What will be his mission?

But... What if Yue Shu got into the car and completed the task instead of his vision?

It's not that there is no possibility of success, maybe they all survived, and they won't die because of the force majeure of mission failure. They will go directly to the last level, and he can still be by Yue Shu's side, protecting him as much as he can until last minute...

But he couldn't gamble with Yue Shu's life.

He can't afford to gamble.

Ye Jingshuo fell silent, he turned his head slightly and looked at Yueshu.

Yue Shu had a bad feeling: "Is that the person calling?"

"Yeah." Ye Jingshuo squatted down, he suddenly became very calm, and even his expression didn't change, the more comfortable he felt that his hand was being held, the man seemed to be talking to him about something unimportant: "I'm going out for a while." Come on, be back soon."

Yue Shu had a bad intuition. He knew what Ye Jingshuo was nervous about and what he was hiding. He said, "Your task has arrived?"

"Well, it's still the same live broadcast as before." Ye Jingshuo stood up and said in a low voice, "It's not difficult."

Yue Shu noticed that the man's unusual mood swings made him nervous unconsciously: "What task?"

"Drag racing." Ye Jingshuo smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a novice, and I have a motorcycle certificate."

Yue Shu always felt strange: "It's just racing? Where is the racing? He doesn't have any demands?"

"No request." Ye Jingshuo leaned over to hug him, and kissed his forehead: "Call Suhang to come over, your mission may be coming soon, and before seven o'clock, don't answer anyone's phone. "

"Ye Jingshuo..."

Ye Jingshuo didn't stay long, and quickly left the building.

Yue Shu was restless, and suddenly had an idea, so he called 008.

"008!"

008: [Host, I am here. ]

Yue Shu finally grasped a life-saving straw: "Can you eavesdrop on Ye Jingshuo's call just now?"

008's voice is very brisk: [Of course. ]

"..." Yue Shu: "Do you still have this skill?"

008: [Eavesdropping on wires is the basic skill of our system. ]

Yue Shu said: "Then why don't you fucking fart earlier!"

008 was taken aback by the scolding, and said aggrievedly: [You didn't ask...]

Yue Shu grabbed his coat and chased him out non-stop. He didn't want to worry about whether Ye Jingshuo would be angry with him because of this. He only knew that if he kept him waiting like this, he would really go crazy.

Yue Shu said: "008, help me locate Ye Jingshuo and play the audio at the same time."

*

When Ye Jingshuo got on the motorcycle, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him.

Just as he was about to turn his head, the next second, he was hugged.

Yue Shu's voice came from behind: "It's me."

Ye Jingshuo wanted to turn around, but the person behind him hugged him even tighter, and said in a low voice, "Don't look back... please don't look back."

Ye Jingshuo felt his heart beating, and his whole body tensed up: "Yueshu, why didn't you go back?"

"I was also given a task." Yue Shu said quickly: "He asked me to go racing on the main road in the city, and told me to close my eyes and die if I didn't go racing."

"He also gave me a choice." Yue Shu closed his eyes, his voice choked with sobs, he paused again and again, and said, "...to survive with you."

Ye Jingshuo's heart trembled with these words.

He opened Yue Shu's hand, got out of the car, and looked directly at Yue Shu. The young man's eyes were red and his lips were trembling, as if he had tried his best to find him. I have never seen him so panic-stricken, even breathing is tight.

Ye Jingshuo was so distressed that he whispered, "You didn't receive the mission at all, did you? Did 008 tell you?"

Yue Shu didn't speak, just looked at him like that.

Ye Jingshuo raised his hand tremblingly, and took Yue Shu's hand: "Yue Shu, this time I... have no confidence. Do you understand?"

"In the past, no matter what time I did it, I was very sure that I would do it." Ye Jingshuo took a light breath and said in a deep voice, "This is especially true when it comes to your affairs."

"I won't take any risk to make any decision that puts you in danger." Ye Jingshuo wiped away the water marks at the end of Yue Shu's eyes, and said bitterly, "If I fail this time, I will have no way out."

"But you have." Ye Jingshuo looked at Yue Shu, as if looking at all that was left of him, and said, "Your life is still long."

Yue Shu said slowly: "Are you going to abandon me?"

"No, I never thought of leaving you behind..." Ye Jingshuo wrapped his arms around his ear and whispered, "I just hope you can live on, our rebirth is not a blessing prepared for me... ...but your chance to live the life you should have had long ago."

"But without you, none of that makes sense."

When Yue Shu said these words, tears rolled down from his eyes. Since he was a child, he was always shaking when he cried, but this time there was no sound, and he was very quiet.

Ye Jingshuo's heart was washed by violent emotions, he looked at him in a panic, and helped him wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Don't you understand? If it wasn't for you, it wouldn't work... If it wasn't for you, it wouldn't work!"

Yue Shu took a deep breath, tears rolled down his face in an instant, he resisted the violent tremors in his chest, and cursed: "Ye Jingshuo, I'm not as strong as you, I can't bear the loneliness alone and grow up with Tongtong. Daddy, why don't you understand? I don't want these at all!...Without you...it's all meaningless..."

"..."

The man didn't speak, and slowly let go of his hand.

The hands of the watch slowly stopped, 18:40.

Ye Jingshuo took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face. His hair was blown away by the wind, and the light of the night scene caught his eyelashes, as if a layer of light-colored light floated on him. He said, "I'm sorry, I was too selfish."

Yue Shu slightly opened his eyes wide.

Ye Jingshuo's kiss fell on his lips, very lightly, accompanied by the passing night wind, it felt soft and warm to the touch.

The man put his arms around the back of Yue Shu's neck, and let their foreheads lean together. The temperature spread from the tight skin, and the neon lights behind him shrouded in light. Ye Jingshuo's voice was very low, hoarse and gentle: "No matter what the ending is, we will face it together."
