Striped Retriever

When Ke Chenlin woke up again, he was still in his room. He stared at the ceiling for a while, then stretched out his hand and slapped himself on the forehead: "Tsk, shame on you."

He still remembers the way the referee looked at him when the dungeon collapsed in the end, it was too indescribable, that feeling of guilt almost overflowed without the referee deliberately emphasizing it.

The ghost knows that the referee has made up something in his head again, he shouldn't choose a mild ending!

"Tsk." Ke Chenlin sat up from the bed, his eyes glanced at his other hand, which was holding a doll.

The outline of the doll's facial features is carved very carefully, and the appearance is indeed Wang Zitong's.

really.

Ke Chenlin looked at it for a while, then took out his mobile phone and called Qiu Yu and the others. The call was quickly connected, and Ke Chenlin didn't have any extra greetings, and asked directly: "Is everything that happened in the dungeon consistent with real life?" connect?"

Qiu Yu and the others are officials, and they should have done systematic investigation and understanding.

"There are some connections, but those people don't exist in real life." Sure enough, Ke Chenlin's answer was within Ke Chenlin's expectations.

"You can understand it as an adaptation of the second creation." Qiu Yu said, "Let's put it this way, if people from the Tinder system come to break through, they may not be able to make it through even a copy."

"How to say?"

"It seems that their family concept and three views are completely different from ours." Qiu Yu said, "We don't know much about this. The only player who has had in-depth contact with the fire system has died."

die?Ke Chenlin heard the name of that "legendary player" more than once: "Can I see the information of that player?"

"Of course, it's not a secret." Qiu Yu got up and sent the legendary player's information to Ke Chenlin's mailbox.

Ke Chenlin went to the computer table, and was stunned when he saw the face of the player sent by the other party.

How should I put it, this strongest human player looks a bit too ordinary, just a fairly common middle-aged male, the kind that won't attract any attention when thrown on the street.

"I seem to have seen him somewhere." Ke Chenlin always felt that he looked familiar.

"Impossible." Qiu Yu on the other end obviously didn't think so, "He passed away not long after throwing you into the human world."

"Oh, yes." Ke Chenlin suddenly realized, "Not long after I was born, about a month or so, my mother hugged me for a walk, and he came to talk to me, and we chatted all afternoon."

Qiuyu on the other end of the phone was silent.

"It's indeed him." Ke Chenlin equated the face in his memory with the man in the photo, "Oh, he also speaks quite peacefully, just...wait a minute."

He suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Qiu Yu, who was silent on the other end, spoke slowly at this time: "Why do you have such ancient memories?"

"Not before." Ke Chenlin looked at the doll in his hand.

Just like the previous two times, the doll blended into his body, but this time Ke Chenlin didn't feel any discomfort or even any special feeling.

This time Ke Chenlin didn't need to close his eyes, he was able to "see" everything around him, not the image formed by the convergence of blue light spots like last time, but a more detailed and organized image.

For example, the old lady on the fourteenth floor of their building seems to have some heart problems.

And the range he can observe is also larger.

He didn't realize these things because they didn't interfere with his work, and these perceptions only came online when he deliberately observed them.

Ke Chenlin stood up, and when he passed the full-length mirror, he froze for a moment.

The pupils that were originally dark brown and close to black turned purple.

And when he restrained that feeling deliberately, his pupil color returned to normal.

Oh, it's exactly the same as An Ding in memory, the other party seems to be unable to control himself whenever he gets angry.

Ke Chen approached the mirror and stretched out his hand to pull his lower eyelids. Fortunately, he didn't find anything resembling a wire: "Now I can finally realize that I am not a human being."

He kept testing his perception, and his pupils in the mirror kept changing from dark brown to purple, just like turning on and off the lights.

"Are you still emotionally stable?" Qiu Yu asked him.

"Fortunately, it's quite stable." Ke Chenlin finally had enough of playing.

He didn't turn on his phone, because he knew his points now, and the game points increased by [-], and the background points also increased by [-], which was the same as the number of points obtained in the previous game.

Moreover, Ke Chenlin was able to open those skills exchange malls, and those things seemed to appear in his consciousness: "I'm probably about to turn into a human-shaped computer."

He seems to be getting closer and closer to the "extinguishing program" and farther and farther away from the concept of "person".

Without waiting for Qiuyu's comfort, Ke Chenlin asked again: "Do you think I can play video games in my own mind in the future?"

"Oh, forget it, I can figure out the rules, so it won't be fun." Ke Chenlin lay back on the bed.

Qiuyu asked him: "Are you going to enter the game immediately?" She needs to arrange her work according to Ke Chenlin's time. Seeing what Ke Chenlin did before, she probably won't give them a pause.

"No, I want to rest." Ke Chenlin's answer was beyond Qiu Yu's expectation.

Ke Chenlin thought about it, and then said: "Give me a month, I have to take a vacation."

Qiu Yu was a little surprised: "Are you...sure you're all right?"

"Of course, I'm fine." Ke Chenlin clicked his tongue softly at this point, "That's it, don't bother me, I'll hang up first."

Ke Chenlin hung up the phone, then hugged the quilt and sighed.As soon as he closes his eyes now, he recalls the look on the referee's face.

Maybe it was because Ke Chenlin was too familiar with that face, or maybe it was because of the nervous look of the referee when he woke up from unconsciousness twice. In short, Ke Chenlin felt that he might be a little tired.

Ke Chenlin hugged his quilt and fell asleep in a daze. Before he fell asleep, the only thing on his mind was-does the shutdown program also need sleep?

However, when Ke Chenlin woke up from his sleep soberly, he especially wanted to swear.

Because the person standing in front of him was the number one human player, and Ke Chenlin had just seen his photo.

The man was wearing a sweatshirt, with a cigarette in his hand, as if he was waiting for Ke Chenlin.

"Don't smoke in other people's dreams." Ke Chenlin pointed to his cigarette butt, "I don't want to get lung cancer." He selectively ignored the problem that he himself smokes.

But the man still smothered the cigarette out.

"Aren't you dead?" Ke Chenlin asked again.

"It's dead, but since I can steal you out, there must be some way to leave something behind." The man scratched his head and coughed twice, "You can see me, which means you are awakened."

This person was almost forty when he died, and Ke Chenlin was born not long ago. Strictly speaking, they should be regarded as people from two eras.

Ke Chenlin looked up and down at this person's outdated attire. The person seemed to have walked out of old photos of his parents' generation.

"Did you know that your power was inherited by your cousin who didn't know how many generations ago?" Ke Chenlin asked him.

"I don't know, but those are not important anymore." The man bent down and sat down, and when he was doing this, there was an extra chair behind him out of thin air.

He seemed a little unaccustomed to not holding a cigarette in his hand, so he rubbed his palms and looked up at Ke Chenlin: "You sit too."

Ke Chenlin had a hallucination when he saw him like this, as if the other party was some distant relative of his, who had come to join him in trouble at home, and there was a feeling of embarrassment and uneasiness.

This made Ke Chenlin feel novel. After all, the other party is also the strongest player, but it turned out that this person didn't even have confidence, let alone arrogance.

"Do you have time for a chat?" the man asked Ke Chenlin.

"Let's talk." Ke Chenlin sighed helplessly, "How much do you know about the Tinder system?"

"I know everything I need to know." The man paused at this point, and then continued: "After my death, all the data is stored in a small bottle, and that bottle is in the hands of the fire system."

"Oh, that means being taken away." Ke Chenlin nodded.

"No, I gave it to the fire system, not to those people." The man shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Ke Chenlin asked.

"The neutrality of the tinder system is absolute. It is indeed a rejuvenation system, but it does not allow users to threaten the lives of other intelligent creatures, and absolutely respects the privacy of other creatures. If it were not like this, human beings would have died long ago. "The man explained.

Ke Chenlin thought about it for a while, and then his expression became more and more strange: "Are you sure?"

"Of course." The man rubbed the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, probably not used to the fact that there is nothing between his hands, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the fire system has never killed anyone, the dungeon is the defense mechanism of our world , people are killed by copies.”

"The people in the fire system took advantage of the loophole." Ke Chenlin nodded, "How much do you know about referees?"

"Referee? The referee is a derivative AI of the Tinder system. In fact, it was created by the group of people who control the Tinder system. There are not so many moral constraints." The man hummed, "It is a very terrifying existence. It can bypass certain These restrictions are all for the revival of the tinder system population.”

"What species?"

"Can't pronounce it. The human pronunciation system can't pronounce it. I usually call them monsters or eyes." The man touched his arm, trying to soothe his non-existent goosebumps. "They really have a lot of eyes."

"Did you meet the referee?" The man asked Ke Chenlin again.

Ke Chenlin was stunned for a moment, he thought that the other party had been lurking in his subconscious to watch all this happen, but was his most recent memory before his death?

"In fact, the referee grew up with me, and later became my object."

"Oh... wait what are you talking about?!" The man was dumbfounded, "Have you guys slept yet?!"
