With Du Jianian's salary, he naturally couldn't afford to live in this community with an average price of [-] square meters. He came here mainly to find someone, Song Rui.

The two met by coincidence, when Du Jianian was just in charge of a large-scale game on his own.On the second day after the game went live, the server was taken over by Song Rui.

Song Rui connected to the server, and Du Jianian received an email from Song Rui in his mailbox.

The mail is not to ridicule how garbage the game is, how many bugs there are.

Instead, it pointed out a bug with a lot of hatred, and also attached a debug method.

Du Jianian checked the source code of the game and confirmed that what Song Rui said was true.If Song Rui hadn't hacked the server to send this email, and this bug was discovered and exploited by players, it would at least cause tens of millions of losses to the game.

From email to WeChat, the two chatted more and more speculatively, so naturally they met each other logically.

Du Jianian wanted Song Rui to come to his team several times, but Song Rui stopped him with a word.

"Don't go, your broken ground is so tired that you can't roll it."

After a long time, Du Jianian had no choice but to give up.

This time I came to Song Rui not to play games, but because Du Jianian needed Song Rui to check something for him.

He found the key from under the floor mat at the door of Song Rui's house, opened the door and entered the room.

Sure enough, he didn't know what to do in his room, and the computer screen was full of lines of codes.Seeing Du Jianian, he didn't look up, and pointed to the chair next to him to let him relax.

Du Jianian waited on the chair for about half an hour before Song Rui turned his gaze from the computer screen to him.

"Game problem again?"

Du Jianian shook his head: "No, I want you to check something for me."

"What are you looking for?" Song Rui's hands were already on the keyboard, waiting to show off his skills.

"Check how many people are dead or not."

Song Rui's hand that was about to type on the keyboard froze in mid-air again. He turned his head and looked at Du Jianian, "To check these, I need to hack into the public security database. You know this is illegal, right?"

As for Song Rui, he has the arrogance that most geniuses have.Du Jianian didn't pick up his words, and asked instead, "Then you can't check?"

Song Rui smiled, showing two sharp little canine teeth: "Don't provoke me, this matter must have been illegal before. But it's a coincidence that you came here, since last week, this matter is no longer illegal for me. "

Du Jianian listened attentively.

"Last week they discovered that I had hacked their system, and by the way helped them find out a murderer who had been on the run for 20 years. I deserved the crime."

Song Rui paused, and tapped his fingers on the keyboard for a moment, and a professional photo of himself appeared, the one in uniform.

"I was recruited."

Du Jianian was speechless for a while. He thought that joining in after defeating the game would only happen in the game, but he never thought that Song Ruishi in front of him had really taught himself a lesson.

"Tell me, who do you want to check?"

Du Jianian thought for a while, "Lu Xinqiu."

After speaking, he added a little more information, "Girls, take the college entrance examination this year."

Song Rui's fingers fluttered: "Well... the range is still a bit large, can it be narrowed down?"

"Has anyone died or disappeared in the past three days?"

Song Rui froze for a moment, but quickly started searching.

After a while, a successfully matched photo appeared. Du Jianian glanced at the photo on the computer screen and stood up abruptly.

That's right!The person on the screen is Lu Xinqiu who was eliminated by the system.

"What's the matter? You were taken aback."

Du Jianian's hands trembled a little. He pointed to Lu Xinqiu's photo and said, "Can you find a recent video of her?"

"wait."

After about 5 minutes, the video of Lu Xinqiu appeared on the screen.Du Jianian looked closely at the time and found that it was the time when Lu Xinqiu was about to be eliminated.

Lu Xinqiu on the screen turned into a small alley on the side of the street, and never appeared again.

The police who were in charge of this case searched the area several times, almost scooping up the ground, but they couldn't find any trace of Lu Xinqiu.

Lu Xinqiu disappeared in the real world just like in the game.

Du Jianian did the same, and asked Song Rui to search for Wang Shan, Chen Zhi and the others, and all the results he got were without exception.

Wang Shan had a car accident, and the whole person hit a truck and died on the spot.

Chen Zhi died in a fire.

All the people who died in that system, died the same way in the real world.

Although he was mentally prepared, Du Jianian still fell into a chair and couldn't recover.

Song Rui looked at Du Jianian a little strangely: "What's the matter with you, why do you suddenly know so many dead or missing people? I don't think their life trajectories coincide with yours."

Du Jianian inserted his fingers deeply.It got into the hair, with a painful expression, and after a long while, he said: "I don't even know how to explain this."

Song Rui saw Du Jianian's distraught look, so he couldn't ask any more questions.

Du Jianian was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "Help me find another person, the last one, Gao Yi. About my age, male, with a younger sister in the family."

After saying this, he paused again, and added: "This one is not dead."

From the thousands of search results that popped up, the two found the person Du Jianian was looking for. Du Jianian wrote down Gao Yi's contact information, got up and left.

It's just that when he walked to the door, Du Jianian turned around and told him as if he remembered something: "By the way, if any strange pop-up window appears on your phone, don't click it, and ask me first."

Song Rui didn't take this to heart: "What kind of pop-up windows appear on my phone? It should be that they are wary of me not sending them any malicious pop-up windows."

"Well, just don't order. I'll treat you to dinner in a few days, so I'm leaving first."

Du Jianian gave another instruction, got up and left.

It was still afternoon when I came here, and the sun was about to set on the way home.In the afterglow of the setting sun, Du Jianian added Gao Yi's WeChat.After a while, the friend request was approved.

Gao Yi's WeChat name is the same as others', and he likes to be a grandfather.

Your grandpa Gao: Brother Du?

Du Jianian: Hmm...

Du Jianian originally wanted to ask Gao Yi if there was any change in his cell phone, but he was typing in the dialog box, and a voice note popped up in the next second, Du Jianian opened it, and heard Gao Yi's urgent voice sound.

Your Grandpa Gao: Let’s not talk about Brother Du, I’ve started the game.

Du Jianian: ...

Damn, isn't this Internet-addicted teenager working too hard?

He put away his mobile phone and walked slowly towards his home. There was still some distance between his home and Song Rui's home.It would take about twenty minutes by car, but Du Jianian chose to walk.

It was already getting dark, but there were still many people on the street at this moment.

On the opposite street, there was an aunt who was reprimanding her child for not doing their homework well. There was a young couple waiting for the bus at the bus stop in front of him, and a loudspeaker was set up at the entrance of the store in front of him, repeating today’s story over and over again. discount information.

The night is not as cool as water, and pedestrians are not in a hurry.

This was an extremely ordinary night in Du Jianian's 24-year-old life.

Du Jianian took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and held it in his mouth.

The taste of nicotine quickly occupied Du Jianian's entire mouth, and he walked home while smoking a cigarette.

The street was still very noisy, Du Jianian should have just left work at this time.Normally, he always kept his head down and hurried on the road, without carefully watching everything that happened on the street.It wasn't until today that he realized that this ordinary night was actually so precious.

Here, you don't have to worry about your own safety, and you don't have to worry that a monster will appear in the next second to kill you.

He can even smoke a whole cigarette leisurely.

……maybe.

Du Jianian looked at Gao Yi's video call request, and clicked to accept.

In the next second, Gao Yi's face that never had an online IQ occupied Du Jianian's entire screen.

"Oh, Brother Du, I wanted to find you, but you found me first. Do you still smoke?"

Du Jianian took off the cigarette and hummed lightly.

"Let me tell you, after I go home, I will hurry up and play the game. I'm afraid I won't be able to play it one day. Otherwise, it's a pity that I didn't pass the game."

"By the way, Du Ge, you said that people who died in that system can still live in the real world?"

Gao Yi still talked a lot as before, but on this topic, his attitude became obviously cautious.

Du Jianian took a breath, "No, I just finished investigating this matter, and they are all dead, and the way of death is the same as that in the system."

Gao Yi let out a cry, but he was stunned for a long time and didn't speak any more.It took a long time before I remembered to ask: "By the way, Brother Du, do you still have that cell phone with you? I found something different."

"Live entrance? I also have one more here."

"That's right! My videos are full of people talking too much about me! They even know that I was banned by the system. My glorious image of more than 20 years has been completely ruined by this broken system."

After Gao Yi said this, he subconsciously covered his mouth, it seemed that the remaining prestige of the system's silence was still there.It took him a few seconds to realize that he had returned to real life, and then put down his hand resentfully.

It was Du Jianian who couldn't straighten up laughing on the other side of the screen.

"Don't say so much if you know you will be banned."

"That's okay, it's so boring not to talk. And as long as I'm around, there can't be such a thing as being cold."

Well, Gao Yi does have some social arrogance.

"Apart from……"

Gao Yi paused, looked around, and then approached and whispered.

"Except for when Brother Qin is around, I'm somehow afraid of him."

Hearing this, Du Jianian raised his eyebrows, "What are you afraid of?"

"I always feel that he can take out a knife and chop me up in the next second. By the way, have you looked for Brother Qin?"

"Where are you?" Du Jianian extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and threw it into the trash can.

"I'm in City A, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll buy a plane ticket to go to your place tomorrow, and let you meet him in person."

Then Gao Yi saw Du Jianian showing an inscrutable smile, and hung up the phone.
