deadly round table

When Jiang Wenyuan came to Chen's house this time, he came directly without saying hello in advance.

Chen Mian has passed away for more than three years, Jiang Wenyuan put in a lot of efforts, but he couldn't get Uncle Chen's forgiveness.Uncle Chen stubbornly believed that Chen Mian was killed by Jiang Wenyuan. If Jiang Wenyuan hadn't fallen in love with Chen Mian, he wouldn't have had a big fight with Chen Mian.If Chen Mian hadn't quarreled with him, he wouldn't have slammed the door and ran away to find Jiang Wenyuan at that juncture, and that accident would have been impossible.Chen Mian was young, he should have a bright future, but died young, the father and son didn't even have a chance to reconcile.

No matter how time goes by, Uncle Chen is always trapped in the pain of losing his son, unwilling to let himself go, and unwilling to forgive Jiang Wenyuan.If Jiang Wenyuan greeted him politely before he came to visit, Uncle Chen would definitely avoid him again.

After Chen Mian's death, the only time Uncle Chen communicated with Jiang Wenyuan calmly was when the old couple took the initiative to invite Jiang Wenyuan to their house for dinner.More than two years have passed, and Jiang Wenyuan still clearly remembers Uncle Chen's strange expression at the dinner table and what he said: It would be great if the table could be filled with people.

Afterwards, Uncle Chen didn't remember Jiang Wenyuan having dinner at home at all, as if the person who invited Jiang Wenyuan to eat at home that day was not him at all.

Jiang Wenyuan and Chen Mian explained Uncle Chen's changes. Chen Mian told Jiang Wenyuan that he was already 29 years old when he cleared the round table game and made a wish to revive Jiang Wenyuan. He could be sure that his father was not a player of the round table game.In the causal chain of the death cycle between Jiang Wenyuan and Chen Mian, there was also a node where Chen Mian died first and Jiang Wenyuan went to revive him.Time is reversed, only death has changed, and the identity of the player will not change.Since Chen's father was not a player in the reincarnation of Chen Mian's resurrection of Jiang Wenyuan, it proves that Chen's father is not in the causal chain of the death cycle.

Father Chen's situation is relatively safe, but Jiang Wenyuan and Chen Mian are not completely at ease. They are worried that the round table game will be pushed into a very dangerous situation by them, so they use all means to attack their relatives and friends around them.So after the two discussed, Jiang Wenyuan tried to test Father Chen, such as sending Father Chen a doll packed in a cardboard box, such as using the doll to scare Father Chen without warning, Father Chen turned a blind eye to those dolls, and finally just It can be considered that Chen's father is not a player.

After Jiang Wenyuan informed Chen Mian of his experiment results, Chen Mian stopped talking about his father with Jiang Wenyuan.Jiang Wenyuan understood that it was not that Chen Mian didn't care about Uncle Chen, but that he was in danger in the round table game and couldn't interfere with what happened in reality, so he could only wait in silence.Jiang Wenyuan didn't talk about Uncle Chen with Chen Mian after that, but he always believed that Uncle Chen's situation was abnormal, and he didn't give up investigating Uncle Chen.Uncle Chen is not a player, so there is another possibility.

Another possibility comes from that many years ago, there are still posts about female players and male NPCs having sex with heated debates.

The female player did not have condoms with the male NPC in the game during the dangerous period. Can the sperm of the male NPC combine with the egg of the female player?If it can be combined, can this combined fertilized egg avoid the rules of the game that only dolls and gold and silver can bring out, and return to reality safely in the female player's womb?

That post was very noisy, but the female player who posted it never came back to reply to everyone.After Jiang Wenyuan tested that Uncle Chen was not a player, he used the power of the information technology team to find out the real identity of the female player who posted the post.Hard work paid off, they spent a lot of money and time, and finally found the information of the female player.

The female player's real name was Liu Qing. Three months after posting, she died suddenly and strangely. When she died, she proved that she was pregnant for two to three months.Liu Qing's private life is a bit chaotic. She not only messes with male NPCs in the game, but also has many lovers in reality.Liu Qing's post was just for fun on a whim, not to explore the truth of the round table game.After investigation, it was confirmed that Liu Qing played with more than one man in reality before and after posting.It is impossible to confirm whether the unborn child in Liu Qing's womb was conceived in reality or in the game with a male NPC.

Although there was no direct evidence to prove that the child belonged to a male NPC, Jiang Wenyuan still vaguely felt something was wrong at the coincident timing.Are there any cases of female players giving birth to life in the game in reality?Is Uncle Chen's abnormality related to such a case?

It's normal for Jiang Wenyuan to have such an association. He knew that Chen Mian had swallowed 99 dolls, so he tried to swallow the doll fragments himself.Jiang Wenyuan's reaction was completely different from Chen Mian's. After swallowing a few fragments, he vomited and diarrhea, and eliminated all the fragments from his digestive system in a short period of time, unable to fuse at all.Chen Mian's situation was so special that Jiang Wenyuan had no choice but to suspect Uncle Chen who had been abnormal before.

For more than two years, Jiang Wenyuan has never given up looking for cases of female players giving birth to male NPC children, but he has not received any results.Maybe it will take another year or so, or a few more years, and Jiang Wenyuan will gain something, but he has no time now, so he can only bite the bullet and come to Uncle Chen again, and have a clear talk with him Regarding the round table game, if Uncle Chen regarded him as a lunatic, then he would admit it too.

Jiang Wenyuan stood in front of the door of Chen's house, took a few deep breaths, prepared himself mentally, and rang the doorbell of Chen's house.

The Chen family is on the first floor, and the sound of slow footsteps came from the open window. After nearly 2 minutes, the sound of footsteps stopped at the door. After the sound of the lock cylinder being twisted, the old door creaked. opened.What caught Jiang Wenyuan's eyes was Uncle Chen who was much older than three years ago. Uncle Chen had pale temple hair, frowned, tightly pursed lips, and deep nasolabial folds on his cheeks. Every detail of his face was clearly visible. To tell one thing, the old man was very unhappy.

Uncle Chen stared at Jiang Wenyuan with a gloomy expression, but he didn't immediately slam the door on him as Jiang Wenyuan imagined and reward him with a closed door.Jiang Wenyuan was ready to stop Uncle Chen from closing the door at any time, "Uncle Chen has not seen you for a long time, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Uncle Chen was silent for a while, and opened the door holding the handle, "We have nothing to talk about. Since you are here, go and see my wife. She had a cold and a fever yesterday. She just woke up and ate some porridge. She's still lying on the bed and hasn't gotten up. You can leave after talking with her."

Aunt Chen was ill in bed. If Jiang Wenyuan had a showdown with Uncle Chen about the round table game at this juncture, if they quarreled, it would definitely be detrimental to Aunt Chen's recovery.Jiang Wenyuan could only postpone the purpose of this trip until Aunt Chen recovered.Jiang Wenyuan pulled the suitcase into the room, "Then I'll go see Aunt Chen."

After Jiang Wenyuan entered the room, Uncle Chen called out to the master bedroom, "My wife, Jiang Wenyuan came to see you."

There was a coughing sound in the master bedroom with the door open, and Aunt Chen said with some surprise: "Xiao Yuan is back from Beijing? Come here and let me have a look." Since Da Jiang Wenyuan went to Beijing, he has only been back for a year Two or three times in Jiangcheng, it has been more than half a year since they last met.

"Aunt Chen, I'll come as soon as I change my shoes." Jiang Wenyuan changed into indoor slippers and was about to walk to the master bedroom with his suitcase, but was stopped by Uncle Chen.Uncle Chen said in a low voice: "You take the suitcase to see my wife, and she will worry about whether you will leave your home and come to see us as soon as you arrive in Jiangcheng, or you will fly to Beijing after you have visited us. She Now that she's sick, can't you let her worry less?"

There are two crucial dolls in Jiang Wenyuan's suitcase. If another person asked him not to carry the suitcase with him, even if this person was his own father, he would refuse without hesitation, but for him The person who made the request was Uncle Chen.Jiang Wenyuan hesitated for a while, then slowly let go of the handle of the suitcase under Aunt Chen's urging voice, and walked towards the master bedroom.

Jiang Wenyuan also kept an eye out. When he was testing Uncle Chen, the information technology team deployed surveillance cameras near Chen's house that could monitor the surrounding situation of Chen's house in all directions.While chatting with Aunt Chen, Jiang Wenyuan secretly sent a message to his information technology team on his mobile phone, asking them to monitor the movement of Chen's house, and to notify him immediately if Uncle Chen opened the window or door to leave.

Jiang Wenyuan chatted with Aunt Chen for about half an hour, and Aunt Chen fell asleep due to the effect of the medicine.Jiang Wenyuan gave Aunt Chen some warm water, covered her with a quilt, and then walked out of the master bedroom.Uncle Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest, sat on the sofa and watched the news channel without a smile on his face, without even looking at Jiang Wenyuan, "You can leave. I still say the same thing, there is nothing to talk about between us."

Aunt Chen's physical condition is indeed not very good, she needs to rest, Jiang Wenyuan can only give up talking with Uncle Chen now, go to the entrance to change back the original shoes, take the suitcase and leave Chen's house.Before going far, Jiang Wenyuan found a hidden place, opened the securely locked suitcase and checked the situation.The two dolls in the suitcase lay quietly in it, without any sign of being moved.After staying in the hotel, Jiang Wenyuan measured the weight of the two dolls again, and it was the same as the original weight, so he felt relieved.

You can't be too cautious when it comes to dolls.What's more, Jiang Wenyuan suspected that it was not Uncle Chen who was on guard, but the round table game that might infiltrate into reality.

Jiang Wenyuan made sure that there was nothing wrong with the doll, and after settling down, he called his father and made an appointment for dinner.After Jiang Wenyuan's father remarried, he was very independent financially, and the relationship between father and son was not far or close. Jiang's father never went to Beijing to see Jiang Wenyuan's situation.Although not close, it also made Jiang Wenyuan feel comfortable, at least he didn't need to worry about why he could own such a large-scale real estate and huge wealth in Beijing.

The father and son didn't eat at home, and they didn't bring Jiang Wenyuan's stepmother with them. They just had dinner at a restaurant they both liked.The father and son drank some wine and were chatting casually when Jiang Wenyuan's cell phone rang suddenly.

Jiang Wenyuan took a closer look and saw that it was the phone number of the head of the information technology team. This person is a heavy technical nerd, he can type and never speak, he will call, it must be something important.Jiang Wenyuan stood up, "Dad, I'm going to answer the phone, and I'll be back in a while."

Knowing his son is like his father, seeing Jiang Wenyuan's expression, Jiang's father knew that this call was very important to Jiang Wenyuan.Jiang's father raised his half-full wine glass at Jiang Wenyuan, "I'm fine tonight, take your time to answer the phone, don't worry."

Jiang Wenyuan left the restaurant and picked up the phone at the side of the road where the noise could overwhelm his voice, "What's the matter?"

"You called us to monitor the Chen family. The old man of the Chen family went out with a vegetable basket in the afternoon, but he hasn't come back now. I sent you a message, but you didn't reply, so I can only call you." The minister of information doesn't often When speaking, his speech speed was slow, and he jumped out a few words every time, which made people anxious.

"Hang up the phone and chat with the message." As soon as Jiang Wenyuan finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone without saying a word, and then Jiang Wenyuan received a series of real-time text reports, as well as the surveillance video of Uncle Chen leaving home fragment.

After Jiang Wenyuan left the Chen family, his focus was on the dolls, and there was nothing wrong with continuing to pay attention to the Chen family's movements, so he did not remove the order from the information technology team to continue to follow the Chen family.Uncle Chen left home at about four o'clock in the afternoon. The clothes he was wearing were different from what Jiang Wenyuan saw in the morning. He was holding a vegetable basket in his hand, and he was leaving in the direction of the vegetable market. He should be shopping for vegetables. of.But it's almost eight o'clock in the evening, and Uncle Chen hasn't come home yet.

Jiang asked Yuan where he could still eat. He said goodbye to his father apologetically, and left with his suitcase after paying the bill.Jiang Wenyuan rushed to Chen's house as quickly as possible, just in time to bump into Uncle Chen at the gate of the courtyard.Uncle Chen had injuries on his face, his left arm was covered with a plaster cast and was hung on his chest with a bandage, and the vegetable basket in his hand was missing. He was in an accident on the way to buy vegetables.

Uncle Chen's face was very stinky, "I knew that meeting you would not be a good thing, why did you come to my house! Get out, get out immediately! I don't want to see you at all!"

Jiang Wenyuan didn't want his surveillance of the Chen family to be exposed, so he called Aunt Chen before coming to the Chen family. Aunt Chen trusted her from a coma and found that Uncle Chen was not at home, which just gave Jiang Wenyuan a reason to come to the Chen family. look at the situation. "I was on the phone with Aunt Chen just now, and she said that you haven't come home since you went grocery shopping in the afternoon. I'll come over to see if there is anything I can do to help. Uncle Chen, you have a broken arm, so let me take you off Go home. Even if Uncle Chen thinks you don't need my care, but Aunt Chen is still sick, you can't let her take care of you with her sick body."

Uncle Chen opened his mouth, wanting to continue scolding Jiang Wenyuan, but he didn't continue, because he really had no way to refute Jiang Wenyuan's words.Jiang Wenyuan was able to enter Chen's house twice in one day under Uncle Chen's nose, but he didn't feel happy.The two elderly members of the Chen family were in distress, but without their sons to accompany them, all Jiang Wenyuan could do was to fulfill his duties for Chen Mian.

Jiang Wenyuan can take care of the two elderly people for a day, but he cannot take care of them for a long time.It's been a hundred days since he was injured, and Uncle Chen is getting older, so his recovery may be slower.Jiang Wenyuan asked the information technology team to recommend a domestic service company with a guaranteed reputation and service in Jiangcheng, and paid a lot of money to hire a nanny who is very good at taking care of the elderly.Jiang Wenyuan signed the contract and paid half a year's fee. Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen didn't want to accept Jiang Wenyuan's somewhat expensive kindness, but the two of them really need someone to take care of them now. If you lose half of the money directly and can't get it back, you can only agree to it in the end.

Jiang Wenyuan accompanied Aunt Chen to drink the porridge made by the new nanny. The porridge was soft and glutinous. Aunt Chen had a sore throat and could eat it easily. This nanny deserved her high salary.But Aunt Chen still felt a little distressed, "Xiao Yuan, you are really spending too much money. The nanny is invited to our house, so I'd better give you the money."

Jiang Wenyuan showed Aunt Chen his watch, which was a birthday gift from Lu Qimiao and Li Nahe, "I have made a lot of money in the past few years, Aunt Chen, look at my watch, more than 20 RMB Well. It doesn’t cost me much to hire you a nanny for a few months. If you refuse again, it will be too extravagant.”

Aunt Chen didn't know any famous watches, but the watch on Jiang Wenyuan's wrist was indeed very exquisite, so she didn't refuse any more and just drank the porridge with peace of mind.

Jiang Wenyuan was more surprised by Uncle Chen. He thought it would take a lot of talking and talking to Uncle Chen to keep the nanny, but Uncle Chen didn't object at all, and even cooperated with letting the nanny take care of him.

When Jiang Wenyuan left Chen's house, it was already very late.

Aunt Chen took Uncle Chen to take Jiang Wenyuan to the door. Uncle Chen looked at Jiang Wenyuan and his luggage, just when Jiang Wenyuan was wondering whether Uncle Chen felt that there was something wrong with his luggage , Uncle Chen said: "Are you going back to Beijing, and we have delayed you?"

Jiang Wenyuan was very surprised by Uncle Chen's unprecedentedly calm questioning, he found an excuse and said: "No, I have dinner with my dad tonight, and there is a gift I gave him in the suitcase, so I just took it with me Suitcase. After talking on the phone with Aunt Chen, I came directly with my suitcase. I will be staying in Jiangcheng for a while."

Uncle Chen's attitude towards Jiang Wenyuan was not good, but compared to the previous attitude of ignoring Jiang Wenyuan and scolding him at the first sight, it was much better.Jiang Wenyuan thought that the Chen family was a bit chaotic now, and the two old people were also very tired.After a day or two, the two old men of the Chen family got along with the nanny for a while, and it would not be too late for him to go to the Chen family to talk to Uncle Chen about the round table game.

But what Jiang Wenyuan never expected was that Uncle Chen developed a high fever the day after his arm was broken and was taken directly to the hospital by ambulance.Uncle Chen has always had a high fever, and he is too old to take heavy medicines. The situation is very pessimistic.Jiang Wenyuan lugged his suitcase to visit Uncle Chen in the hospital every day. Even if he met Uncle Chen who was awake sometimes, he was still in a daze and couldn't speak clearly.

Until the night before Jiang Wenyuan felt that the game was coming, he couldn't openly discuss the round table game with Uncle Chen.

At midnight, Jiang Wenyuan sat cross-legged on the bed in the hotel, looking at the two dolls in front of him with some irritability.Finally, he put one of the dolls into a sealed box and placed it more than ten meters away from the bed to ensure that the doll would not be brought into the game.The other doll was placed beside the pillow.

00:00:00.

Jiang Wenyuan was dressed neatly in his clothes and shoes, lay down on the bed with his bag on his back, and waited for the start of the round table game.

00:00:59.

It was less than a minute before the new day arrived, Jiang Wenyuan was still sleepy, and the invisible giant hand couldn't wait to appear, dragging him into the endless abyss.

When entering the game, it is a sense of weightlessness that suddenly falls downwards.Clearing the game returns to reality, not the feeling of rising overweight, but still a slight sense of weightlessness.For round table game players, there is always an endless abyss waiting for them at their feet.

Jiang Wenyuan fell into a chair, his vision was still dark, and he heard multiple breathing sounds.

Jiang Wenyuan blinked, his vision gradually recovered, and the scene of the round table space came into view. He looked to the left, and there was a gray-haired, blue-eyed European white man sitting there, and there was still someone on the left.Looking around and returning to his own position, the twelve high-backed armchairs were all filled with people, and this time the players were no longer limited to players from his own country, Jiang Wenyuan only found another yellow race person on the round table .

"What the hell???"

Jiang Wenyuan heard the European white man beside him swear, and he didn't read his words through lip language, but really heard his voice.

The change of voice communication, Jiang Wenyuan knew that the sound barrier between players was canceled when he heard other people's breathing.The disappearance of the sound barrier certainly has a certain meaning, but Jiang Wenyuan is not more concerned about this matter. He stared at the black under the lamp of the chandelier. In the usual round table games, there is always a person in his body A doll with special abilities.

But when the space of the round table was full of people, the doll disappeared!

Without any rules, and without taking any bodily functions as a price, a countdown of 60 seconds appeared out of thin air under the lights of the round table.

The entry link of the round table game, which is different from what players are familiar with, made all the players present smell something unusual.The players who can sit on this round table are not soft persimmons. After a brief commotion, the players quieted down and observed each other.Between the eye contact, a strong smell of gunpowder permeated.

The 60-second countdown ends and the game begins!
