Donghai City in Jiangnan Province is a fourth-tier island city with a population of only one million people, but it has prices comparable to those of first-tier cities. As soon as the pace of time stepped into 2018, the city's housing prices exceeded 15,000 yuan, and the upward momentum is still unabated.

Liu Yun was lucky, when the house price just broke 10,000 a few years ago, he gritted his teeth, and relied on the financial support of his parents at home to make a down payment, and since then he has lived a glorious and difficult road to a house slave

He works as a web designer and part-time website editor for a small web company. At this time, it was already night, and the sixteenth floor of this office building was brightly lit. After the Chinese New Year, the workload has increased greatly, and it has become the norm for him to work overtime.

The boss of this network company is surnamed Lu, and in Liu Yun's eyes, this guy is a Grandtai-style character, and he is going to die of slamming the door.

At the beginning of the new year, he put forward the company's reform plan, which is called improving the income of employees, and from the beginning of the year, the company began to implement the plan of 5 people working for 3 people and getting 4 people's salaries.

His salary has also changed from 4,000 yuan a month to 5,000 yuan. Such a plan is actually welcomed by Liu Yun in his heart. The salary is high, so work harder.

After he paid the mortgage every month, he had more money left and was able to be more financially rich. It is important to know that in such a fourth-tier city, it is not easy to find a job of 5,000 yuan per month.

He rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, picked up his phone, glanced at the time 19:45 on it, and sighed softly: "Today's work is done." However, according to the current form of the company, there will be no shortage of overtime days like this this year. For the sake of the face of the salary increase, I can only grit my teeth and persevere. ”

Maybe it's because the workload after the year is too big and he works too much overtime, or maybe he is unmarried, he doesn't have to rush home to report, Liu Yun leaned on the office chair and rested for a while. A wave of sleepiness hit his brain.

"I've been working overtime since the New Year, and I've been sleep-deprived lately, so I'm too sleepy, so I'd better squint my eyes for a while, or I'll wait to get home, and I'm really worried that I'll fall asleep on the road." Liu Yun muttered to himself, and slowly closed his eyes. On his desk, there is a small stereo playing softly music.

This is a cover ballad that became popular in this year's "Singer", "Ah Diao", the female singer's crisp voice came:

Ill-fated, obsessed and indifferent

Farewell to youth, countless stations

Willing to be ordinary, but unwilling to be ordinary, rout

You are Diao, you are the bird of freedom......

Liu Yun likes this sentence, willing to be ordinary but unwilling to be ordinary. Who doesn't want their youth to have no regrets, and who wants their life to collapse in the ordinary.

But the time of youth continues to pass through his fingers. He could see it, but he couldn't hold it. He had dreams and longings for life, but in the end he could only gradually smooth out his water chestnut in an ordinary life......

The bright moonlight shone on Liu Yun's face through the window, and the quiet office was only the slightly rapid breathing sound of him sleeping.

Liu Yun, who fell asleep, felt that he had entered a strange space. The space was pitch black, but boundless, and he roamed freely in this vast world.

The place seemed to have no gravity, and Liu Yun felt that his body was sometimes running on the ground, and sometimes flying lightly.

I don't know how long later, a white hole suddenly appeared in the pitch-black space, flashing with dazzling light. Liu Yun felt that this white hole not only had a strong light, but also the suction power was very amazing, and he was sucked into this white hole almost without any resistance, and he wanted to shout loudly but couldn't make any sound.

…………

"Da Da!" Liu Yun's ears kept hearing the sound of keyboard tapping, and he opened his eyes with some difficulty, but his brain was still a little confused.

He sighed in his heart: "This work is so tiring, even if I squint my eyes for a while, I have hallucinations, and the unique clicking sound of typing keyboards still echoes in my head." ”

Liu Yun still closed his eyes, leaned back against the chair, reached out to support the armrest on the chair, and a thought came from his heart: "Why is this chair so hard?" He opened his eyes, and what he saw was a strange room, dim lighting, smoke, and the sound of "da-da" kept coming from his ears.

Liu Yun's first reaction was: I was kidnapped?

There are so many local tyrant bosses in this office building, how can this kidnapper kidnap me, a shabby little white-collar worker. All kinds of thoughts flashed through his heart, and his gaze followed the sound of "da-da", and looked over.

Liu Yun's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen some incredible scene, and his consciousness suddenly became clear.

"This ...... Is this an Internet café?" Liu Yun was a little tired just now, and moved his body with some difficulty, as if the acupuncture points had been suddenly opened, and he sat up all of a sudden.

It's all 2018, and there is still such an Internet café, dark, damp, and the small room looks very dilapidated. Could it be that the kidnappers kidnapped me to a dark internet café? But I had no rope and could move freely.

But what did he always feel a little strange in his heart?

Huh, Liu Yun began to notice the person next to him, a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

finally remembered that this was his high school classmate Li Hui. After graduating from college, I held several high school reunions and met him. Strange, how did this kid become so young, childish, and rejuvenated?

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind like lightning, rejuvenation, and the dilapidated Internet café in front of him, and the old computer in front of him, and a game running on it.

However, Liu Yun did not pay attention to what kind of game it was, but gently moved the mouse to the lower right corner of the computer desktop, and the time was displayed at 19:51 on May 29, 2002.

Liu Yun pinched himself hard, it hurts! Pinch again, it hurts!

"Liu Yun, why are you pinching yourself properly, what kind of nerves do you have. Li Hui, who was beside him, said to himself while tapping on the keyboard.

Liu Yun found that Li Hui's eyes were a little red, and he was a little curious in his heart, and his slightly rapid panting voice came from his ears, "Liu Yun, you're about to attack Shabak, you are not ready to go down yet!"

I see, no wonder this kid's eyes are red.

The touch and thinking of the body were extremely clear, and Liu Yun could already be sure that he was not in a dream, and how could there be such a real dream.

If he wasn't in a dream, there could only be one explanation for everything in front of him, the soul went back to 2002, his sophomore year of high school, and now he was sitting in the Internet café in 2002, dark, damp, and smoky, this was the Internet café of sixteen years ago.

Liu Yun retracted his thoughts and shifted his attention to the computer in front of him, he didn't pay attention to the game just now, but now it looks very familiar and very distant, this should be the game "Legend of Blood" that made him obsessed in the second and third years of high school.

Liu Yun observed that the game ID in front of him was called Legend of Heroism, and looking at this name, he even covered his mouth with his hand a little helplessly. Because he even wants to laugh a little, this name is so earthy, and it is very hateful.

He carefully observed this Internet café, more than 20 computers, basically playing "Legend of Blood". Indeed, this game is popular all over the country, and even if another popular Korean game "Miracle MU" is launched next year, it still can't shake the hegemony of "Legend of Blood" in the online game industry.

Presumably, these hot-blooded young people have squandered all their emotions that cannot be vented in reality in this virtual world.

Liu Yun leaned back in his chair and clicked the mouse a little boredly, and the characters in the game mechanically walked back and forth in the safe zone. He's adjusting to the suddenness, and he doesn't know what to do next.

"Hey, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and concentrate, I'm about to attack Shabak!" Li Hui beside him looked excited and shouted a little excitedly.

Liu Yun pursed his lips and said without looking back: "I'm not going! ”

He hasn't played this game for more than ten years, where is Shabak? How to get there? I've forgotten it all, I don't know those skill icons on the game, they should know me, how to play?

Another point is that there is a 33-year-old soul hidden in this body from sixteen years later, and he really has no interest in a game like attacking Shabak.

Li Hui seemed to think of something, and he said in a comforting tone: "I know you must be in a bad mood, that superb game equipment paralysis ring was exploded. ”

Paralysis Ring? Even after a long, long time, he still remembers those profound past events vividly. In this life, there are many things that cannot be forgotten in a lifetime. For example, when you were young, the girls you liked, and the stupid things you did.

The past is like smoke, and the clear movie images keep coming to his mind.
