Warm Water Spirits

It was past nine o'clock on Saturday morning, and Jiang Yunqi was still lying in bed.

Aunt Song went out to buy vegetables early in the morning and came back, she didn't call Jiang Yunqi, thinking about letting him sleep more on the weekend.

But as soon as the phone rang, Jiang Yunqi rushed out of the bedroom barefoot, faster than Aunt Song who went directly from the kitchen to the living room to answer the phone.

"Hello?" Jiang Yunqi held his breath, waiting for the other end of the phone.

"Yun Qi?" It was Pei Yue.

Jiang Yunqi was frustrated, "Sister Pei Yue, it's me." Looking back at Aunt Song, Aunt Song smiled comfortingly, touched his head, went into the bedroom and took out the slippers for Jiang Yunqi to put on.

"Is Pei Zhe at home? He can't get through the phone."

"No, he's on a business trip. He's in a meeting. It will take a week."

The word "one week" was bitten hard by Jiang Yunqi.

The first few seconds on the phone were quiet, and Pei Yue seemed to be preoccupied with so much that Jiang Yunqi felt a little unusual during these few seconds.

In the end, Pei Yue didn't say anything, but said that Pei Zhe would tell him as soon as he came back.

After hanging up the phone, I was in no mood to stay in bed.

Aunt Song urged Jiang Yunqi to eat breakfast, and there was still an hour before meeting Li Kun.The place where Jiang Yunqi met was very familiar. It was an Internet cafe named "N+" two streets away from the attached middle school.The reason why I am familiar with it is because there are often small offline e-sports held there.Jiang Yunqi went to school a few times in his first and second year of high school, but the contestants' skills were average, and he found it boring after watching it two or three times. Later, Jiang Yunqi seldom went there.

Jiang Yunqi and Aunt Song said they would not come back for lunch.It was rare for Aunt Song to see him go out on weekends, and she thought the school had tutoring, and complained in a tone of voice: "You guys are not allowed to have a good time on weekends? The Education Bureau doesn't care?"

Jiang Yunqi smiled while bowing his head to tie his shoelaces: "I'm not going to school, I'm going to meet netizens."

Aunt Song was startled, she rushed out with a handful of unfinished celery to look at Jiang Yunqi, frowned and said, "Netizen?"

Jiang Yunqi put on his shoes and stood up straight and nodded, not feeling anything wrong, "Yes, the netizens who played games together before."

Aunt Song still frowned, her eyes were worried, and she discussed: "Yun Qi, what kind of netizen? Don't be fooled... Do you want to listen to Auntie, or don't go?"

Jiang Yunqi was stunned, thought for a while and explained: "I have known him for a long time. He is quite famous. I heard that he is a professional competitive player. Aunt Song, there are people who take playing games as a profession. I will go to I met him to ask something, so I won’t be deceived. The place is not far from the school, I’ll take the bus, and I’ll definitely be back at three or four in the afternoon.”

The celery was still dripping, and Aunt Song stood still, with a serious expression on her face. Seeing that Jiang Yunqi was talking well, she wanted to say a few more words: "Three or four, three or four, what time is it? Where are you eating at noon? Have you brought money?" Right? By the way, did Mr. Pei give you pocket money recently? He's always on business trips, I don't know if Mr. Pei remembers..."

Jiang Yunqi took out his jacket pocket, and took out several one-hundred sheets. It seemed that he hadn't thought of such a thing, and his expression was a little puzzled. After using it up, thinking about it, I took it out again, and there were indeed a few coins at the bottom of the pocket, a few 25 ten.

Jiang Yunqi put it all in front of Aunt Song, and helped Pei Zhe: "Yes. But I don't need it. There are still a lot in the drawer. Brother Pei puts money in it every once in a while."

Seeing this, Aunt Song was dissatisfied again, her brows were frowned enough to be disgusted.The two brothers really don't know how to live.He couldn't help asking: "What do you do with so much money on your body? What if you are targeted by bad guys? Mr. Pei is also true. Pocket money, pocket money, how old are you? Just give you so much money?"

Jiang Yunqi blinked, not knowing what to say.

Finally, the specific time to go home was finalized, and the excess one hundred sheets were confiscated, and Jiang Yunqi was finally allowed to go out.

The bus needs to be transferred. After the transfer, two stops, and then cross the road to arrive.But the second bus came surprisingly slowly.

Jiang Yunqi thought about it, he knew the route, and 15 minutes before the meeting, Jiang Yunqi decided to run there.

It's okay to run for a while, but it's uncomfortable to be out of breath after a long time, but it's much better than the previous two years.He didn't take all the physical tests in high school.During the last physical examination in the third year of high school, he wanted to take part in it, but Pei Zhe found out about it. Pei Zhe went to the school himself and took his physical examination files from previous years, but he still didn't participate in the end.

Jiang Yunqi slowed down, the cold air slowly permeated when he inhaled it in winter, and if he took too deep a breath, Jiang Yunqi did it to himself, coughed for a long time, and his chest hurt a little.

When the cough stopped, Jiang Yunqi was crossing the road with a group of people.But this group of people were all looking in one direction. Jiang Yunqi didn't pay attention before, so he would look up now.

The distance is very close, and the crimson blood scattered all over the ground can be seen at a glance.

There was a car accident.

The bicycle wheels were still under the truck, and the tires were still spinning a little.The cyclist didn't know where he was, but the dark red blood kept dripping, spreading a large bloodstain.The smell of iron floated along the direction of the wind, cold and thick.

A girl in the crowd took one look and walked away quickly, clutching her forehead in fear.A few minutes before the incident, the witnesses on the scene sighed softly, and the few seconds of the conversation were tragic.The traffic policeman was talking loudly, and the siren of the ambulance was getting closer.

Several groups of people were standing on the zebra crossing. At this time, they dispersed one after another, and the green light time was coming to an end.

One second before his eyes moved away from the large bloodstain, Jiang Yunqi's mind suddenly flashed the weird gestures made by two little boys at the mall that day.

Different from the dazed confusion at that time, there seemed to be an echo in my heart, cold and terrifying, hinting to myself that this was an order.

What instructions.

Jiang Yunqi didn't know.

When I think about it carefully, the picture of the dark and gray shopping mall with a bright red carpet is frantically torn apart like jumping frames, and then stops for a moment in the blink of an eye-the picture flashes back mottledly: the next second after the command is issued, blood is dripping all over the floor.I couldn't stop dripping, and my eyes were all red.

A chill rose from the soles of his feet, and his wrists trembled uncontrollably.

Jiang Yunqi lowered his head, staring blankly at his palm.

Very clean.

But, it's not like this...it shouldn't be like this...

A voice in my heart told me that the blood was not my own...

Whose is that.

His throat was hard, and Jiang Yunqi tasted blood, maybe it was because of the previous cough, maybe it was the scene of massacre that was too clear in his mind, which made him want to vomit——

Suddenly, the elbow was torn apart by an external force, and Jiang Yunqi fell out uncontrollably!

At the moment when the external force hit, Jiang Yunqi subconsciously wanted to do something——

But then, there was the whistling sound of cars, accompanied by the extremely rude and loud driver's scolding—reality dragged him back hard!

The red light had already come on, and the turning vehicle rushed out, missing him by a second.

"Cross the road and look at the traffic lights. What happened just now?" A closer voice sounded.

Jiang Yunqi looked up, and there seemed to be a face in front of him that he had seen somewhere before.Jiang Yunqi moved his lips, but he didn't make a sound.

Li Xun smiled generously, walked to the side of the road with the distraught Jiang Yunqi, and asked carefully: "Are you all right? Did you feel unwell just now?"

Jiang Yunqi remembered.When he went to the hospital for a physical examination, he was one of the two policemen who met at the door.

Jiang Yunqi shook his head in a daze.

Accidents happened one after another, and the screen sank.But the sudden cold fear still made Jiang Yunqi feel lingering.

"Thank you." Jiang Yunqi stepped back a few steps, his face was pale, and he looked at Li Xun and said, "I've seen you."

As soon as the words fell, Li Xun's eyes flashed with surprise. For a moment, he even suspected that Jiang Yunqi knew that he had been following him, but Li Xun immediately said calmly: "I'm just passing by. Where have you seen me?"

Jiang Yunqi's tone confirmed: "The door of the provincial hospital. You talked to Pei Zhe."

Li Xun pretended to be enlightened, and patted his forehead, "I remembered, it really is! Are you from Pei Si?"

Li Xun didn't want to admit that at this second he felt like a false alarm.When pulling people away just now, Jiang Yunqi raised his head and stared at him for the first time. Thinking of that kind of gaze makes his scalp tingle.

Like a trained machine, cold and vigilant.

"Family." Jiang Yunqi let out a breath slowly, and his heartbeat returned to normal. When he said the word Pei Zhe, his heart calmed down a lot.

It seems that Pei Zhe is the most direct connection between him and reality.Stronger than anything else.

Li Xun later sent Jiang Yunqi to the Internet cafe, and the two chatted a few words on the way.

Jiang Yunqi didn't really want to talk to him.Those who are older than him always like to ask him about his grades in the first few sentences - Pei Zhe doesn't count.Pei Zhe is an exception to all, a special one as it should be.

Jiang Yunqi later ignored Li Xun.

Li Xun also breathed a sigh of relief, dealing with Jiang Yunqi was more stressful than dealing with Pei Zhe.

Li Kun recognized it very well.

Because no one would wear their game nickname on their body.

Li Kun wore it.

The two huge white letters "LK" are shining on the chest, and Jiang Yunqi can't help but see it.

Lin Xiyao also came, saw Jiang Yunqi walking towards here through the glass of the internet cafe, jumped up and waved excitedly inside.

For a while, two other people turned their heads, both wanting to find out the expression of Yunshen's character, but the next second when they saw Jiang Yunqi's whole body, they seemed a little surprised.

Jiang Yunqi pushed the door open and went in.

"Jiang Yunqi!"

Lin Xiyao seemed to be the host of the announcement, she was in high spirits, pointing to Li Kun and the other two introductions, her tone excited: "This is Li Kun, LK! Jiang Yunqi, don't need me to introduce, you know each other. This, Eric, You should know him, he said that once you had a face-to-face with him, he let you fall into a box - the most brilliant performance so far. Hahaha! This is the 'inner ghost', ranked [-]th in the Asian server, half a year No change—that’s what he said he would introduce himself.”

Apparently, Lin Xiyao was already very familiar with Jiang Yunqi when he wasn't here.

Eric is tall, thin, dark, with a gentle appearance and wears a pair of rimless glasses.When Lin Xiyao introduced, he kept silently looking up and down Jiang Yunqi, his expression was still a bit surprised, and he didn't speak at the end.

Compared with Eric, the "inner ghost" is really fat, and he doesn't look too thin in all black.At this time, Lin Xiyao said with a smile: "My real name is Che Boyu. Both Kun'er and Eric call me Boyu. You should call me Boyu too."

Jiang Yunqi nodded and went to see Li Kun.

Li Kun himself does not match his usual personality, he looks a little anxious, he is the kind of person who loves to study but his grades are definitely average.Jiang Yunqi didn't know why he thought about the grades, it must be because Li Xun had talked with him all the way.

Li Kun gave him a friendly smile, stretched out his hand, and said in admiration with a smile: "God of Clouds."

Jiang Yunqi shook hands with him, not very good at dealing with such situations.

Even so, in the eyes of the other three, Jiang Yunqi was too calm.

Fortunately, there is Lin Xiyao.

Seeing that Eric didn't speak, Lin Xiyao remembered the topic they had been talking about just now, and said to Jiang Yunqi: "Before you came, Lin Rui—this is Eric's real name, he said he wanted to ask you a question! He kept it hidden from us. Say, huh, Eric?"

Lin Rui smiled, looked at Jiang Yunqi who was looking at him for a few seconds, and said slowly: "Yunshen hasn't been online for a long time, I guess I don't know the speculation about Yunshen on the Internet during this time."

Jiang Yunqi keenly felt that Lin Rui's words were thorny.

In addition to Bo Yu who was so silly and smiling, and Lin Xiyao who was immersed in the excitement of meeting her idol, Li Kun seemed to feel it too.

He glanced at Jiang Yunqi, but Jiang Yunqi didn't look at him, his expression was the same as when he first came in, but his eyes were slightly cold.

Li Kun went to see Lin Rui.

There is an exclusive topic for Jiang Yunqi in Jedi Sniper, and he knows what Lin Rui is going to say.

Then, the brains of the rest of the people caught up and knew it too.

Lin Xiyao suddenly looked puzzled.

Bo Yu felt that the style of painting was changing too fast, so he whispered to Li Kun, "Aren't you welcoming new members? Did I get it wrong? This is a group arena? One on three? What is Eric doing?"

Li Kun wanted to recruit Jiang Yunqi wholeheartedly, so of course it was impossible for Eric to ask him so directly, and said with a smile: "Lin Rui, I have seen Yunshen's level before, and we formed a team before—"

"What speculation." Jiang Yunqi looked at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui smiled brightly, "Talk about Yunshen cheating."

Lin Xiyao's complexion suddenly changed, she was very rude: "Fart!"

The other four people: "..."

Jiang Yunqi was stunned, the outrageous Lin Xiyao didn't match up with the good character and academics in the usual class for a few seconds.After a meeting, Jiang Yunqi said to Lin Rui word by word: "I never cheat."

"In the final battle with the P11 mine, it was impossible for Yunshen to see people from the perspective of Yunshen. How did Yunshen kill Pyan?"

Jiang Yunqi frowned, with a strange expression on his face, "That's it?"

Li Kun smiled and waited.

Lin Rui noticed that there was an inexplicable feeling in Jiang Yunqi's tone, which was similar to what he thought was a super-outline question, but the question in front of him turned out to be a question that could be answered with his eyes closed.

Boyu scratched his hair, "Actually, I didn't even think about it. I watched that scene later, Yunshen, you don't even know where Pyan is..."

Jiang Yunqi said: "Because equipped with a magnification lens will reduce the aiming speed."

As soon as the words fell, Li Kun laughed out loud, "Awesome".

Lin Rui reacted, his face changed slightly, and then he smiled along with the corners of his mouth.

Afterwards, Bo Yu also understood.

Lin Xiyao didn't understand.

Li Kun explained: "My guess is that this is the case. Yunshen really doesn't know where Pyan is, but as long as Pyan takes the lead in sniping, Yunshen will definitely find out his position. At this time, it is all about hand speed. And Yunshen's hand speed ,it is known."

"No", Boyu stopped, wondering: "Yunshen, how do you know that his sniper is equipped with a magnifying glass?"

Jiang Yunqi's tone was as usual: "He sniped my teammate before. We were still outside the circle at that time, and he was already in the mine. Without using a magnifying glass, it is impossible to shoot in the head."

Boyu was speechless.

Jiang Yunqi thought for a while, "In fact, he also hit me. No matter how fast I am, I can't catch up with him to shoot first. It's just that his crosshair is not as accurate as I am, and the magnification is affected. I am just lucky."

Hearing this, everyone present wanted to roll their eyes, but they all held back.
