There are always bad people who want to harm the family [Comprehensive]

The phone... was hung up.

Aliya looked at the gradually dimming screen, a little weak, as if something was about to leave her with the fading light.At the same time, there was a suffocating wave rushing towards her face, swallowing all her senses in an instant—she was as helpless and desperate as a drowning person.

Everyone will have a past that is not far away, it is like a barb inserted into your heart, like a ghost, like a shadow, like a cheetah in ambush in the corner, ready to give you a fatal blow at any time.

Aaliyah has it too, and unfortunately, not a little less.

The word "" is like a spell. From the moment she heard it, Alia fell into a dark memory that she tried to forget but couldn't get rid of——

That was 8 years ago, when she was 12 years old.

***

When Chuchu crossed over, there were two villains in Aliya's mind "fighting", so that her mental state was not very good, and she was unable to participate in campus life normally.Fortunately, the Williams couple gave her enough care. After she was tired of receiving endless psychotherapy, they chose to tolerate this daughter who had no blood relationship with them.

Finally, at the age of 12, Alicia Williams sorted out the messy memories in her mind-she confirmed that she could resume her normal life with people.

In order to encourage her progress, the good old couple provided her with a laptop with good performance, allowing her to interact with new friends through the Internet, making her appear more gregarious.

Although Aliya did not become lively and cheerful as they thought, she also cleverly began to learn to smile, and gradually behaved talkatively, just like a normal, quiet top student, because——she was all for herself The negative and extreme emotions found another way to release.

In view of her doubts about her mental state in the past few years (she finally attributed it to the sequelae of time-traveling) and the experience of many psychotherapy sessions, Alia was very interested in abnormal psychology and psychiatry, and put on a vest on the Internet, mixed into There are many perverted private social networking sites.

At first, she just browsed silently, wanting to gain some knowledge, to see if she could explain her illness, or find someone with the same disease.Gradually, when she saw some interesting remarks, she couldn't help but use the experience of two lifetimes to reply, and gradually accumulated fame.

At this time, around her 14th birthday, Alia received an electronic invitation letter that will be automatically destroyed within 10 seconds after being clicked on. There is only a string of invitation codes and a bold name on it—" ".

After she found a way to log in with strong curiosity, she found that "" is as simple and crude as its name, it is a limit online game, or in other words, it is a 1vs1 mode online confrontation promotion game.

Its participants can only be those who have received invitations through various means, but the live video broadcast of each competition will be open to a certain group of people, and these people also need to obtain permissions through different channels.

Participants are anonymous, and unless voluntarily disclosed, personal information is strictly protected.At the same time, all human flesh searches or private threats to withdraw from the competition are prohibited. Once reported, the participation and viewing qualifications will be permanently disqualified, and the three-dimensional life may be endangered.

About when this game started, who runs it, and what purpose it is... No one knows.But those who can participate in this game, including gamers and bystanders, are people with special needs who have been screened in a certain way. They regard this game as an exclusive platform to vent themselves, and naturally they will not delve into it. Or you want to report this game to a dead end.

In the game, players can choose between two identities—the policeman or the murderer. No matter which identity they choose, the players are against each other.So that the following 4 situations may occur during the game process:

When the police catch the murderer, the police wins (normal pursuit mode); when the murderer kills the policeman, the murderer wins (anti-pursuit mode); when the police find out the other undercover, they win when there is only one person left (Mission: Impossible mode); and murderers kill each other , win when there is only one player left (dog bite dog mode).

Although the game does not stipulate what role the two parties must choose, when the second and fourth situations occur, the points obtained will be higher than the other two.

When the game is in progress, the contestants will enter the scene randomly matched by the system according to the identity they choose to play the game.The system may set up a plot background, or it may be entirely up to the player to develop it.The players do not know each other's roles, and can only rely on subsequent investigations to judge.

If there is only one murderer, he must consciously create a murder case at the beginning stage, and the more brutal and novel the method, the higher the identity of the murderer, the higher the points he will get.After a successful escape, the points will even be doubled.

Of course, if the other party plays the role of a murderer or a policeman, after successfully killing the murderer, corresponding points will be obtained, but the "skill points" obtained by the murderer during the massacre will only belong to him.

Therefore, for the sake of points, most people will give priority to murderer characters who can kill at will and have a high degree of freedom.And most of the people who can get the invitation code don't have a good impression of the identity of the police.So much so that the dog-eat-dog mode of the double murderer confrontation is the most common way to play.

Therefore, "" this game is actually encouraging killing, or killing.

And those who participate in this game can not only get points and cash rewards, but also expand their popularity in this circle - those who watch the game will choose the party they support to give substantive funding, or, some people , will buy "methods of crime" from these players after many observations.

——This is the scariest and most sinister part of ""——murder simulation and teaching demonstration.

The game points determine the player's exposure and will be updated at 24:200 every day.Every year, the top [-] in the standings will be specially invited to a random combination match.

At this time, the purpose of the participants is not for the high bonus, but for the attention of the "spectators".

Those who won the top three, especially those who can perform well in the championship battle, are likely to become the investment targets of the whole server in the next year, and the mailbox will be crowded with letters from fanatical fans. There will be a steady stream.

And when Aliya was almost 17 years old and was about to reach the pinnacle of the game, she met her only opponent—the person code-named "l".

She will never forget everything that happened after that, the great ups and downs, the great sorrow after the great joy.

began... the game began...

"'l', will it be you?"

Those were the days she least wanted to recall, when she was completely lost in herself, crazy and supercilious, so that... she did a lot of things wrong.

Aliya preferred to convince herself that the word "" heard from that mouth was just a coincidence.

Back then, she withdrew from the game with a decisive attitude, and destroyed all the things that could be traced to her, including the forum account and all archives, and even the only public encrypted mailbox.

I don't know how many people other than her will be able to take the initiative to leave the game, but these years, she has never been disturbed.According to the rules of the game of "", no one can match her, an ordinary student, with the number one "a" in the killing game.

But how crazy it used to be is how desperate it is now.No one can completely abandon the past, even if he is as strong as Reese, he can't do it, and if he is as confident, he dare not say absolutely.

If all this was really a game set against her, Sarah would never forgive herself for anything that happened to her.

"What should I do?" Aliya couldn't help but think to herself.

There are still less than 8 hours until tomorrow, but it will be at least 13 hours before she can successfully buy a newspaper.How heartless was she to get through this excruciating time?

Aliya continued to call Sarah's number unwillingly, but unfortunately the phone was turned off as expected-if that person wanted to evade tracking, he would not have left such a big loophole, and he might have destroyed the calling card long ago.

So, call reid and ask him for help like before?

But... Aaliyah stopped halfway through her number.

"began..." This is the prompt after the background introduction of the "" title...

Once you see this prompt, it means the game has started.And the participants have no way of turning back, they can only choose to continue playing.

If it was what she thought, she couldn't make any suspicious moves until she figured out the situation.And tomorrow's newspaper is the key.

Different from the plane bombing case, if Reid knew, he would not allow her to participate in the investigation, this is the principle.But she needs to figure out the rules of the game.So……

"You can't tell him." Alia clenched her fists and told herself silently in her heart.At least reading the newspaper can't tell him that she can't bet on Sarah's life.

After hurrying home, she started rummaging through all the things she had brought from Manhattan.Eventually, she found a post-it note in her notebook.

Relying on memory, Aliya quickly entered the URL in the input box on the web page.

Since she canceled her account 4 years ago, she had to recreate it this time.But it doesn't matter, she still has a hand - as the final reward for the winner of the championship competition 4 years ago, she was given an extra invitation code.

She used to think that she would never use it, but whether it was a coincidence or destined...

"..." Aliya scanned the two hideously designed words and clicked directly on the page.A few years have passed, the interface has not changed much, and she quickly found the mailbox.

"L, ru?

to"

After confirming that the sending was successful, she was as powerless as if she had been emptied.Moving to the sofa like a walking dead, she hugged her knees and curled up on it.The light outside began to dim, and the living room was pitch black. The only light came from the laptop that stayed on the game interface and emitted a dark red light.

Aliya didn't think about anything, and didn't dare to think about anything.All she could do was wait, and pray to a God she never believed in for Sarah's well-being.

The memories that I have always wanted to be dusty are always so sudden and hurtful when they are dug up...
