Thriller game in beta [unlimited]

S City, Bouquet Boutique Cafe ----

"Honey, why did you think of attacking the server of that holographic online game, I remember you don't play games much?" The blond man was dressed in casual clothes, with his shirt rolled up, revealing his strong forearms.

He propped his head on one hand, and stared at the thin man opposite with blue eyes. He has a very typical Western face, with deep and three-dimensional features, and a pair of eyes that are particularly affectionate. Sometimes just watching quietly like this can make people feel aroused An illusion that this person is deeply infatuated with himself.

This person was aroused by Sha Tang's proposal, and Li Gaide, a network security geek who came here overnight, is a Chinese-French mixed race. He took his mother's surname and has stayed in China for many years, so he is very fluent in Chinese.

"And you lost a lot of weight, what happened?"

Sha Tang's hand stirring the coffee paused slightly, not knowing how to explain his current situation to this friend he hadn't seen for many years, "That holographic online game is not normal, I used to..."

After a night of deliberation, Sha Tang decided to tell the other party his experience in the game, which could provide Li Gaide with a lot of ideas.

Hearing about Sha Tang's experience, Li Gaide's eyes widened, he gasped exaggeratedly, and immediately made Sha Tang laugh with his exaggerated acting skills, and his melancholy in the past few days also faded a lot.

"Is there really such a game? What is its screening mechanism? Can I go in and have a look?" Li Gaide really became very interested in the game.

Sha Tang put down the coffee spoon in his hand, crossed his hands, and said in thought: "You may not be able to get in, after all, you are quite healthy..."

Li Gaide didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"This game is to contact the terminally ill patients through some method, and then pull the patients into the game. You should not receive the information." Sha Tang explained.

Even if Li Gaide can go in, he doesn't want this person to go in, after all, the world inside is too dangerous.

Li Gaide was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Then why do you..."

In the middle of speaking, Li Gaide suddenly understood something, he stood up abruptly, and because of his haste, he bumped into the table, and the coffee cups on the table made a crisp sound when they collided, attracting the attention of the people at the next table.

Sha Tang lowered his hand to signal him to calm down.

Li Gaide took a deep breath, nodded apologetically to the guests next to him, and sat down again.

"Do you mean that you are sick, or seriously ill?" Li Gaide suppressed his voice, but he could still hear the emotional fluctuations.

Sha Tang nodded helplessly, and said with a little comfort: "Don't be so excited, in fact, I have seen it quite thoroughly, and now the idea is to hack that game, that game really harmed too many people, and... ..."

As he spoke, Sha Tang pursed his lips, and unconsciously brought a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm not that great, and I also have selfish intentions. The first is that I feel that I have been tricked, and I am very upset. The second is that in that game, there is a person who is against me. It's a very important person, but he can't leave the game, I can only force him offline in this way."

This kind of theory is like parents don't want their children to play games, so they unplug the network cable, so they have to go offline.

Li Gaide's complexion was still very ugly, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't encountered a problem with such a big matter, wouldn't you even send me an obituary!"

Hearing this, Sha Tang was immediately embarrassed, because what he said was right, because he wanted to get rid of the indulgent lifestyle in the past, so he cut off contact cleanly.

Even if he regretted it later, he had no face to contact Li Gaide again, after all, even he himself felt that such behavior was too much.

As for the obituary, it is even more unnecessary. People who do not contact on weekdays, once contacted, they will be informed of the death news. This is really an act of sending emotional garbage to others. In his arrangement, he did not even arrange the funeral. I want to bid farewell to this world quietly.

Seeing Sha Tang's appearance, Li Gaide still didn't understand something, his face instantly turned dark and frightening, and without a word, he picked up the coat on the armrest and was about to leave.

Sha Tang hurriedly got up to stop him, explaining his thoughts to him, the two of them tugged, and the two girls at the next table sneaked glances over from time to time, as if they were watching a good show of breaking up.

"Listen to me first..." Sha Tang said helplessly.

Li Gaide froze for a while, then sat back in his seat again: "Okay, tell me!"

Sha Tang used a tissue on the table to wipe off the coffee that was shaken by the two people's actions, and slowly talked about his thoughts, from the change of attitude towards death, to his apology to Li Gaide and the others, and his actions in the game. perception.

With his analysis, Li Gaide's expression gradually softened, probably because he knew his specific illness, but his expression was still hard to hide.

"Don't be like this, I invite you to the game on the one hand, and on the other hand, I want to meet and chat with you, I hope I don't have any regrets, and I think you will be very interested in that holographic online game..."

Sha Tang diverted Li Gaide's attention by talking about games, he didn't want to spend a good afternoon wasted in the mist of illness.

Sure enough, Li Gaide immediately became addicted to the game, and began to ask about the specific details of the game in detail.

Sha Tang smiled. This is the geek Li Gaide he knew. When Li Gaide was in school, he was not interested in anything other than technical issues. Once a girl confessed to him, and he was straightforward at the time. Say, I've been in prison for six years for murder.

The girl was terrified at that time, and this incident caused a stir in the school, and some students even jointly applied for the expulsion of Li Gaide from the school.

Sha Tang, who knew the truth, was full of question marks, and thought it was a rumor, but later found out that the rumor was spread by the person himself, because his mother once told him that falling in love would only affect his speed of drawing a knife .

Since then, the title of Li Gaide's weirdo has been known throughout the school, and no one dares to come to the door to send love letters to confess his love.

But such a technical geek cares so much about his health, it would be a lie to say that he is not moved, but Sha Tang is not a person who likes to express his emotions verbally, but he is secretly glad that he did not lose this friend.

The two of them chatted for an entire afternoon, and they stopped only after dusk and sunset.

Sha Tang proposed to go to dinner. Considering Li Gaide's eating habits, he booked a western restaurant in advance. Although this matter is urgent, it also needs to be discussed in the long run.

Li Gaide immediately agreed, and the two drove to the restaurant they reserved. On the way, Li Gaide was still asking about the details of the game.

"Can I understand the mechanism of his screening as people who are going to die, that is to say, the kind of patients who have a year or so left and can make a bet?"

Hearing Li Gaide's question, Sha Tang gave him a surprised look, then turned around and drove seriously.

"I think it should be. After all, if it's the last period of time, the mental head is broken, and maybe I don't want to struggle anymore."

Li Gaide nodded thoughtfully, and said a bold statement that almost made Shatang slip: "Then if I hack into the hospital system and get myself a terminal cancer diagnosis, is it possible to receive a game invitation?"

Sha Tang never thought that there was such a way to play, and was once again shocked by this man's unconstrained imagination: "You can try it."

The distance between the restaurant and the coffee shop is not too far, and it takes less than 10 minutes to drive to the destination.

Sha Tang parked the car, and the two walked into the restaurant. This is a private restaurant, and they only need to explain their taboos to the waiter, and the rest of the dishes are arranged by the chef.

The two sat down at the reserved seats. It was meal time and there were many customers in the store.

However, this western restaurant is very particular about privacy. Each table is isolated and divided into small private rooms. Sitting in and chatting, as long as the voice is not too loud, you don’t have to worry about the guests next door hearing the chat content.

There is a pianist playing on the stage, and the soft and melodious music is flowing slowly. The restaurant is in the style of Central Europe, and the dim lights are slightly drunk. It makes Sha Tang have the illusion of returning to the game in a trance.

Li Gaide took out the computer from his handbag, and checked with Sha Tang in detail the content of the game they discussed just now.

Hearing that Sha Tang said that he contacted a lawyer to help investigate Gu Xi, the producer of the game, Li Gaide was immediately unhappy.

"Do you not trust my technology? You still have to pay someone to investigate such a simple matter."

Sha Tang laughed. He also thought about whether he could let this person do this by the way. After all, this person's technology is here, but this matter is too important. Sha Tang didn't dare to take risks, so he It tends to be carried out on both sides at the same time, and the results are compared at the end.

Before the food was served, Li Gaide turned on the computer, and when he switched to the program, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Sha Tang.

"It's not convenient to find that Guxi now, and the public network is not safe, but you can tell me your lover's information, it's very simple."

Sha Tang was a little surprised when he heard the words. According to their comparison and speculation between the time of the game and reality, Chen He spent more than 20 years in the game in reality.

The time is too long, and many materials cannot be preserved. Especially more than 20 years ago, technology was not so advanced, and the preservation of information was still based on paper, which brought great obstacles to the investigation, but Li Gaide's participation in the matter It will become much simpler.

Sha Tang told Li Gaide all the information he knew about Chen He, Li Gaide let out a groan, opened a page that Sha Tang couldn't understand, and entered a series of codes with his fingers.

When the first pre-dinner dessert was served, Li Gaide hit the enter key: "I found it! Check to see if it's this."

He turned the computer screen in the other direction, facing Sha Tang.

On the cold white screen is a passport photo of a little boy, seven or eight years old, with short hair, wearing a blue and white striped patient gown, narrow and long eyes like peach blossoms, with the tails of the eyes raised, staring at him expressionlessly. Camera, a small face tense.

Although he is still a child, he does not have the innocence and liveliness of a child, revealing a kind of indifference that is inaccessible to living people, like a sharp and wounding knife.

Looking at the boy on the screen, Shatang's eyes felt a little hot for no reason, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse: "Where is he now, is he still... okay?"

Li Gaide moved the mouse, propped his chin with one hand, and gave a not-so-good answer: "Not too good, he is currently in a vegetative state at the Huxin Sanatorium in City S, and according to the expert's diagnosis, he is awake. The probability is almost zero."

Hearing this, Shatang's heart sank, and before he could feel sad, he heard Li Gaide continue: "But according to what you said, when you enter the game, your body will lose consciousness and perception of the outside world, so his state is actually normal. That said, as soon as he's out of the game, he's going to be a medical miracle."

Sha Tang was stunned, yes, why didn't they think in this direction? When he entered the game, didn't the nurse also say that he was in a coma at this stage?

It can be seen that they are concerned about chaos...

Hearing Sha Tang's thoughts, Li Gaide was immediately overjoyed: "Actually, compared to being in a vegetable state, I think you should be more worried. If his family is poor, maybe the corpse has grown grass now..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately overturned his own statement: "Well, that's not true. If he dies, the game should be completely over. After all, holographic online games execute commands through the player's brainwaves."

"Do you have a picture of him now?"

Li Gaide rummaged through the hospital's database, and then regretfully said: "No, there is only that young photo."

Sha Tang replied humbly, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and greeted Li Gaide for dinner.

Knowing Chen He's current situation, Sha Tang is inevitably eager to eat, he wants to see the current Chen He immediately, only when he sees that person is well, can he be completely at ease.

Because Li Gaide was a technician, he also ate very fast. When others were listening to piano music and sipping aperitifs, the two of them had already finished eating and were about to leave.

Xu Shi saw his intentions, as soon as he left the restaurant, Li Gaide proposed to go to the hospital.

Pursing her lips, it was rare for Sha Tang to want to be willful once, so she immediately agreed.

The night is getting darker, the lights are lit up bit by bit, the neon lights of the city begin to flicker, and the blue lights shine on the face.

When the car door was closed, Sha Tang's hands trembled unconsciously, and even his breathing became short of breath. They were about to meet in reality.

This... Could it be online dating?
