Click, click, click......

The sound of tears hitting the keyboard.

Jiang Ning wiped the corners of his eyes, and a tear slipped down his face and into his mouth, salty and astringent.

He has been away from home for five years, and he has seen through the warmth and coldness of human feelings outside, and has experienced the sophistication of human feelings. I didn't cry when I was suppressed, I didn't cry when I was in financial distress and my wages were about to be unaffordable, and I didn't cry when I lost all my money...... At that time, he was thinking, what is there to cry about, even if he fails, there is no home here.

On the one hand, he wanted to go out, and on the other hand, he regarded Jiangli as a haven that he relied on. Out of shame to contact his brother, Jiang Li is also a chronic son, usually busy with tasks, the brothers don't talk about heart-to-heart, and there is very little time to talk.

This time he came back, but Jiang Li couldn't stand at the door of the house to greet him. In fact, this brother who is not good at words is the one who is the most sentimental.

Jiang Ning smiled while looking down, the self in the photo was still so small, so small that people felt like he was just a pet. Jiang Li was like this and a father and a mother, and he never screamed bitterly.

At the bottom of the album is a family photo, and it is also the only one of the Jiang family. In the photo, the five-year-old Jiang Ning is sitting on Jiang's father's lap, and Jiang Li is standing next to Jiang's mother, smiling happily at the camera.

He's been ignoring one point...... He misses his parents, but Jiang Li is not. He was only fifteen years old when his parents died, and he had to deal with his parents' funeral and comfort his young self. He hid all his sorrows, suppressed all his bitterness in his heart, and never cried once in front of himself.

"Brother, wait for me. Jiang Ning closed the space album and got up and stood in front of the window. "Now, it's time for me to protect you. ”

Night has completely fallen, and the night sky is deep and starless, giving people a feeling of oppression.

This night was not so easy for Jiang Ning to fall asleep, first, he was used to working the night shift until two o'clock in the morning, and he couldn't sleep too early. The second is that there is nothing to do at home all day, and the lazy mood of doing nothing is not a good mood that promotes sleepiness.

Thirdly, Jiang Ning still felt that the advanced task was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. The tasks of the first and second stages were just to pave the way for the third stage of the tasks, so that he could get three days off and let himself stock up on daily necessities, so he trapped himself at home under the step-by-step guidance of the task.

Who knows what will happen in these sixty hours? Although it has been almost ten hours so far, everything is calm, but Jiang Ning's nerves have never relaxed.

I stayed up until about two o'clock in the morning, and when the sleepiness really hit, it was futile to resist. Jiang Ning lay on the bed without even taking off his clothes, and he didn't know how long he slept and was woken up by a piercing ringing.

Jiang Ning subconsciously wanted to pick up the phone, but the phone vibrated and the system prompt of the human game appeared.

[Warning: Your behavior will violate the rules of the mission, please act carefully]

Jiang Ning sobered up a little, and almost forgot the rules of the third stage of the task, he glanced at the phone screen, and the contact person who called was Fu Kuo.

Strange, what is he calling himself at this point? Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and finally did not pick up the phone according to the rules of the task.

There was a rushing sound outside the window, the sound of a fire truck. In the dark night, the silence was broken for a long time, and the sharp sound pierced the sky, causing Jiang Ning's goosebumps to rise.

He walked to the window and saw only red light and phantom, it seemed that the fire truck had already driven over, but he didn't know where the fire was on.

"Zizi ......"

Fu Kuo didn't get through the first time and didn't seem to want to give up, so he soon called Jiang Ning for the second time. Jiang Ning looked at the mobile phone screen and hesitated, this point, what if there was really an emergency? It would not be because he lost the game of truth or dare to call himself.

But due to the rules of the game, Jiang Ning couldn't pick up the call. He sighed, and once again chose to ignore it.

Turning the phone to silent mode and throwing it on the bed, Jiang Ning opened the window. The cool breeze in the early morning was still biting, and the blowing made him shrink his neck, which also made him more sober. Jiang Ning once again reminded himself that no matter what happened, he could not answer the phone and could not leave his home...... This is the game mission, and he can only choose to follow the rules.

Once the mission fails and loses the qualification of a gamer, it will be far away to clear Jiang Li's grievances with his ability. After five years of wandering, he knows the horror of power and what the dark side of this world is like. If Jiang Li was wronged, naturally someone needed a substitute for the dead. The relationship between this layer and layer is like a spider web, and he stands at the bottom of the web, and he may not be able to tear through the thinnest layer with effort.

The mysterious phone call he made to himself before clearly wanted to take money to seal his mouth, as long as he, Jiang Li's immediate family member gave up the investigation, Jiang Li's crime would naturally be confirmed...... The layers of conspiracy as deep as the sea are not enough to smash it now.

Ruthlessness is what I need most now.

When Jiang Ning woke up the next day, it was already past noon, and he was woken up by hunger. The brain wanted him to continue sleeping, but the stomach protested, Jiang Ning simply got something to eat, sat at the dining table and turned on the mobile phone.

The first to jump out was the missed call, there were seven or eight of them, all of which were calls from Fu Kuo. Jiang Ning frowned, this kid made so many calls to himself in the middle of the night, is there really something?

I don't have a deep friendship with him, and the only person who has a connection between the two is a Fu Wenrou...... Could it be that Fu Wen Wen had an accident?

Thinking of this, his heart seemed to stop beating, and Jiang Ning's mood was very anxious. It's not because he was under house arrest at home, but he couldn't contact the outside world and was a little uneasy by Fu Kuo's several phone calls, if it wasn't for the important matter, he wouldn't have bombarded himself with calls so late.

Sighing heavily, Jiang Ning picked up his freshly heated soy milk in his other hand, feeling the warmth of the glass in his hand, and his emotions calmed down a little.

While picking up a mouthful of noodles with chopsticks and opening the Liushi News Daily on his mobile phone, Jiang Ning glanced at the news hot list, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the noodles delivered to his mouth stopped in mid-air.

No. 1 on the news popularity list: understand the Internet café fire

He clicked on the news video, and the female anchor was broadcasting the latest news to the audience: "In the early hours of this morning, a fire broke out in an Internet café located at the corner of Ping'an Street and Shuangliu Street in our city, and the fire has been controlled after the firefighters arrived at the scene, but there are still casualties. At present, the five injured people have been taken to the hospital for treatment, and two of them have died after failing to treat them......"

"It is reported that the fire was caused by customers throwing cigarette butts in the Internet café and igniting the line. The public security and fire department reminds the public that fire safety is very important, and how to effectively prevent fires is an issue that every citizen should pay attention to......"

Jiang Ning stood up from the chair suddenly, and did not throw the mobile phone out of his hand after grasping it.

He wanted to rush out immediately, to the Internet café to see what was going on, to the hospital to see who was injured...... There are two people who died after ineffective treatment, is it Fu Wenrou and Fu Kuo? or Lin Guan, or other colleagues?

"Damn. Jiang Ning was anxious to drop something, if he really rushed out in such a hurry...... Then he would be completely disqualified as a gamer.

The most helpless thing is that like him now, he can't contact the outside world and can't go over to see what the situation is, once he walks out the door or makes a phone call, it will be considered a violation.

The sound of the rushing fire truck last night and Fu Kuo's urging phone call, Jiang Ning finally knew why.

He could imagine what had happened last night...... Because he asked for leave, Fu Wenrou asked Fu Kuo to help in the Internet café, but someone threw cigarette butts and caused a fire, and several people were busy evacuating people and were trapped in the fire, how desperate should they be at that time?

“a

gle。 Jiang Ning's voice trembled a little with anger. "Did you arrange this?"

There was no reply from the mobile phone, and Jiang Ning shouted into the radio of the mobile phone: "Answer me!"

The phone vibrated slightly, and then automatically entered the human game interface, a

GLE's voice said calmly.

[Sorry, it was an accident]

"What do you mean, what is the reason for the fire in the Mingyue Internet Cafe?" Jiang Ning asked with a frown.

[It's just an accident, please continue with the game mission]

"Don't let me contact the outside world, don't let me step out of the house...... You did it on purpose. Jiang Ning's face was gloomy and scary, if it weren't for the fact that this was just an artificial intelligence, he would have to dismantle her. "Why? Why Mingyue Internet Cafe?"

What is this? Are you deliberately playing tricks on yourself? Putting yourself under house arrest at home and not allowing you to go out, but you let yourself receive a phone call from Fu Kuo and see the news that an Internet café is on fire...... Since you don't let yourself be in contact with the outside world, wouldn't it be better to directly issue a task order to prohibit the use of mobile phones?

This is deliberately done by the system, deliberately allowing itself to see this, but not being able to do anything about it.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath and stared at the countdown to the third stage of the mission on the screen of his phone. It's only been twenty-four hours now, and the Mingyue Internet café is on fire, so what will happen in the next thirty-six hours?

Mingyue Internet Cafe was his first job after returning to Liushi, anyway, he had cultivated a relationship with the people in the Internet café for several months, so that he could witness them die in the fire, could there be anything more cruel than this?

Jiang Ning tried to calm his emotions, he could only pray now, praying that the injured person was not Fu Gentle, and that the two people who had failed to be treated were just two passers-by.

"Is this the price?" he smiled self-deprecatingly, as if asking himself and A

gle。 "What does it cost to be an advanced player?"

After a long silence, a came from the phone

GLE's voice.

[It's not the price, it's the growth, it's the growth that everyone must experience]
