15. Memories
Lin Ziyue, who was in the cell, sent a few messages to Baozi, and after confirming that everything was fine, she saw that the time was almost up, so she simply said goodbye to Sanqian, and went offline to eat, when she climbed out of the game cabin, she felt that her whole body was smooth, but her neck hurt a little, and it seemed that next time she put a pillow in it, it would be more comfortable to enter the game from sleep mode.
Just after Lin Ziyue boiled the water, the doorbell rang, she looked at the calendar on the wall, sure enough, it was the last Saturday of the month, and she would return to the city on the last weekend of every month.
Lin Ziyue opened the door and saw a woman in a brown coat sitting on her suitcase, her hair was scattered over her shoulders, and her hands wearing black leather gloves were playing with a pair of hostas that she had just taken off.
"Why don't you go home first, your parents must still be worried...... Really, come in. Lin Ziyue turned sideways and welcomed the woman into the house, lifted the woman's suitcase, and then followed into the house, "Jiujiu, you ran away from home, so it's almost five years, right? So it's October again...... It's been almost five years since that happened. β
At this time, Su Jiujiu pointed to the game cabin on the floor of the living room with a serious face, and asked Lin Ziyue's posture: "Where did this thing come from?"
Lin Ziyue shook her head and said: "The recipient wrote my name anyway, I was wondering if it was sent to you by mistake, or simply you sent it back, so I accepted it inexplicably, this is the Phantom World Game Cabin, by the way, do you want to try it together?" It feels quite interesting, you haven't played it for a long time." β
Su Jiujiu sighed, took the suitcase from Lin Ziyue's hand, and walked directly to the back room: "It's really tiring to sit on the ten-hour train, I'll take a nap first, and if you want to make a note, you can also help me get the next one." β
Lin Ziyue nodded and entered the kitchen, she didn't see Su Jiujiu's face uncertain and solemn when she stared at the phantom game cabin, Su Jiujiu looked at the game cabin for more than ten seconds, and then took out a coin-like sticker from his pocket and stuck it in an inconspicuous place on the side wall of the game cabin.
"I hope this thing can protect you from anything, who made this thing in the game cabin, isn't it just a coffin for the living......" patting the game cabin with a little residual warmth, Su Jiujiu glanced at the kitchen door, and then carried the suitcase into the house.
Ten minutes later, Lin Ziyue knocked on the door of the study, there is nothing else in this room except for piles of books, a desk, a chair and a bed, usually Su Jiujiu has spent the night here after coming over, and the books are all brought over by Su Jiujiu again and again, Lin Ziyue tried to flip through it, it was all ghost-like words, and she gave up after not understanding it, at most she occasionally helped her wipe the table and mop the floor, she also suggested that Su Jiujiu move the bed to her master bedroom, which would be more convenient, Su Jiujiu rejected the proposal, saying that he had been out for too long, and he wanted some private space when he came backγ
"Jiujiu, the noodles are ready, I put some tomatoes and egg flowers......" Lin Ziyue stood outside the door, Su Jiujiu never let her enter the house directly, a few times she broke in by mistake and was yelled out by Su Jiujiu, Lin Ziyue was particularly concerned about this ban.
"Ah! here it is!" Su Jiujiu walked out of the room, already changed into a beige turtleneck sweater and loose pajama pants, and after taking off the gloves on his hands, there were a lot of scars left by the burns, "I may have to go out to buy some paper and pens later, ah, Xiaoyue, you go to the convenience store to take a duty and help me bring it back, I really have to take a shower and sleep well after eating, I'm tired ahh......hh
Lin Ziyue kneaded Su Jiujiu's hair into a mess, and the two sat at the dining table frolicking, Su Jiujiu glanced at the game cabin in the living room out of the corner of his eye, and poured a mouthful of noodle soup like a frustration, but choked himself and began to cough, Lin Ziyue patted Su Jiujiu's back while laughing at her for whether she was hungry or crazy.
"Ahem, don't shoot it, it's okay, ahem, what are you playing now?What kind of game is that phantom world?Is it special?" Su Jiujiu asked Lin Ziyue.
"Yes, do you want to play together?" Lin Ziyue looked very happy when she said this, although a lot of strange things have happened in the game recently, but she does feel that the phantom world, as a game, may have reached the peak of the free simulation world, and judging from the game plot that has been revealed so far, I am afraid that the world structure of this game is extremely large, plus those lifelike intelligent NPCs, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second world. In just two games, she has deeply felt the charm of the diversity of the fantasy world, whether it is the peculiar dungeon system, or the simple casual task, or the struggle between players, it is far beyond the playability of ordinary online games. Thinking of this, Lin Ziyue began to talk to Su Jiujiu about the various players and administrators he had encountered in the illusory world.
Su Jiujiu listened to her with a smile, and only after Lin Ziyue finished talking about everything in one go did he interject: "Since Mei Bao jumped off the building five years ago, I haven't seen you so cheerful." β
Lin Ziyue was stunned and fell silent.
Su Jiujiu had that lazy smile on his face again, and said, "This is a good thing, it's been so long, do you still mind so much?" Didn't I say it, I want you not to punish yourself for other people's faults......
Lin Ziyue suddenly stood up from the table, and Su Jiujiu also stopped talking, and his smile disappeared.
"I ...... It's time to go to work. β
Su Jiujiu glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist: "It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, you don't work late at that store......
"Bang", the door was slammed shut by Lin Ziyue, Su Jiujiu sighed, went into the kitchen and touched the bottle of wine, and after opening it, he also poured himself a few sips.
"My broken mouth......"
Lin Ziyue stood in the elevator, she was too excited to slam the door just now, and now there is still a little bit of hair in front of her, and her head hurts desperately, she pressed the button on the next floor several times, but the elevator did not move, Lin Ziyue was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and saw that the elevator number showed that it was actually the top floor of the 13th floor.
13th Floor...... My apartment is obviously on the 6th floor, when did I press the elevator to go up?
Lin Ziyue felt that the elevator might be stuck, and this building could be regarded as decades old...... After pressing the panic button, she sat down against the cold elevator wall, her head hurting more and more, and the events that happened about five years ago gradually came to mind, and the more she resisted those memories, the clearer those memories became.
Seven years ago, after graduating from high school, she was almost nineteen years old, casually entered an ordinary university, she said goodbye to her parents and brother and took a few hours on the maglev train, and arrived in this new province, she was not familiar with the place, the first thing she knew was a few of her roommates, in addition to Su Jiujiu is a local, Mei Ying and Gu Xu are just like Lin Ziyue who have just arrived in the province, a few girls from all over the world have all kinds of gags, and they are quickly familiar, and then Mei Ying took a few people from the dormitory into the big pit of the online game when the holographic online game was first launched, although Su Jiujiu seems to be very resistant to this kind of thing, but it can't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of a few people, after all, I played this martial arts holographic game with everyone.
Such happy days between several people lasted for two years, and Lin Ziyue had to admit that it was the happiest period since he was born. Then, as if to cancel out all the happiness she obtained, Lin Ziyue met Wuxin, and after the two were ambiguous for a while, Lin Ziyue was blocked at the resurrection point in the wild, Su Jiujiu, Mei Ying and Gu Su both came to save her, but there was a healing profession and an auxiliary profession, and they couldn't stop the opponent at all, but they were beaten back again and again, Lin Ziyue didn't remember how many times they died that day, every time she stood up, she would pick up her bright red spear and rush to the woman who was standing on the edge of the resurrection point, only remembering the last time, after unintentionally going online, she quickly fell in front of her, grabbed her, but told the woman that all this was a misunderstanding. Then after everyone dispersed, Wuxin took Lin Ziyue to the island on the lake outside the city, and the two of them lay in the barren grass and watched the sunset, Lin Ziyue heard Wuxin say that he was going back to the women's gang, saying that he had always regarded everything as a game.
Lin Ziyue shrunk in the dormitory for a week, and then was dragged out of bed by Mei Ying and pulled to the mirror in the bathroom, where she saw her red and swollen eyes and pale face.
"Look at you! What have you become! It's not good to live well! If you don't live well, do you still want those bastards who are full of malice towards you to see jokes!" Mei Ying patted her face and stuffed a towel wet with hot water into Lin Ziyue's hand, "The more this is the case, the more you have to live well! Let them feel that they are the biggest joke! Don't play this shitty game! I'll take you out to walk all over the world in the future! Let's eat until we are old! Play until we are old! Live until we are old! Live better than anyone else in this life!!"
Lin Ziyue watched Mei Ying patting her chest and swearing, howled and cried, hugged her, and rubbed her snot and tears onto her favorite goose yellow sweater in Mei Ying's wail. "Lin Ziyue, you accompany me with my clothes, ahhh!!h
Seeing Mei Ying's angry appearance, several people in the dormitory all laughed, and Lin Ziyue also laughed unscrupulously, although the four of them were punished for cleaning all the toilets in the girls' dormitory because of the loud noise in the middle of the night that day, but Lin Ziyue buried all the things in her heart and decided not to let her friends worry about her like this again.
Lin Ziyue thought so.
It wasn't until more than a month later, during that short vacation at the end of autumn, almost midnight, that only Lin Ziyue and Mei Ying were left in the dormitory, and Gu Xu and Su Jiujiu all went home yesterday. When the door was knocked suddenly, Lin Ziyue and Mei Ying thought that someone had come back to pick up something they had forgotten, so they each leaned on the bed and shirked each other for a while, in the dialogue of "you go", "don't you go, you go", "you are close", "don't be crooked, we are as close as we are", Mei Ying had no choice but to get up and open the door, a gust of cold wind blew in through the crack in the door, Lin Ziyue shouted while holding her mobile phone and reading a novel: "Come in! It's cold outside! If you blow like this, I'm going to yell at you! Mei Baobao close the door!"
The cold wind kept blowing into the house, Lin Ziyue looked up at the door, Mei Ying was standing at the door, with her back to her, so Lin Ziyue shouted again: "Mei Baobao, don't stand stupidly! If it's not those two goods, close the door quickly! You're not cold, I'm still cold!"
"Satsuki...... Looking for your ......"
When Lin Ziyue heard this, she got up and muttered, "Who, will come to me in the middle of the night?" Mei Ying suddenly said again: "Ah no, it's looking for me, looking for me, I missaid it for a while, I ...... it."
Mei Ying's hand tightly clutched the hem of the goose-yellow plush clothes, and then as if she had made up her mind, she nodded at Lin Ziyue and said, "I'll deal with some things, you have to stay well." β
Lin Ziyue looked at her inexplicable appearance and became more and more confused, and asked, "What's the matter?
Mei Ying gave Lin Ziyue a thumbs up, and reluctantly put on a smile and said, "Look for me!" I'll leave first, and then you can cheer up yourself!"
"What...... What are you talking about?" Lin Ziyue subconsciously felt uneasy, got up from the bed and wanted to go to the door to look, but Mei Ying quickly dodged out of the door and closed the door, Lin Ziyue tried to open it, but she couldn't break the doorknob at all.
"What...... Mei Ying!!What are you doing!?"
Lin Ziyue banged on the iron door, there was no movement outside the door, so Lin Ziyue leaned down to look through the crack in the door below, there was no one, she twisted the doorknob desperately, but the doorknob was like being pulled harder from the outside, not moving, Lin Ziyue shouted anxiously: "Mei Ying, don't make trouble! It's not fun at all, this kind of prank is interesting! You know I hate these boring actions the most, you hurry up and let go of the doorknob!"
There was no response, just the doorknob that was locked, no matter which direction Lin Ziyue turned, she couldn't twist this handle, she scolded a few words in annoyance, turned around and pulled out several pairs of jeans from her wardrobe, and then tied it into a rope and tied it around her waist, and the other end was wrapped around Mei Ying's bedpost by the window, hoping that the foot of the school bed would not collapse too quickly, Lin Ziyue put on a coat and pushed open the window, a cold wind came to her face, she gritted her teeth and pulled the rope tightly, and descended from the window on the third floor a little bit.
After landing safely, Lin Ziyue immediately ripped off the jeans rope around her waist and climbed up to the third floor from the outside, only to find that there was no one at the door of the dormitory, which did not seem like a prank, she walked to the door and twisted the doorknob, the door opened easily, there was no one in the dormitory, and it was still the same as when she went out just now.
That...... What about Mei Yingren?
Lin Ziyue's heart throbbed for no reason, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, she walked to her bedside and picked up her mobile phone, and saw Mei Ying's number in the first place of the nearest contact, and pressed to dial out, every waiting sound from the mobile phone made her feel extremely panicked.
Suddenly, there was a "ding", the phone was connected, and Lin Ziyue yelled at the phone: "Mei Ying, what are you doing!"
There was a dead silence on the phone, save for the sound of staccato breathing and a rustling noise.
Lin Ziyue thought back to the surroundings of the school, even if it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and there was a cold wind blowing everywhere, but to have such a loud wind, I am afraid it must be at a sufficient height to be possible, and Mei Ying had just gone out for a few minutes, so the place where she was most likely ...... "Mei Ying, you replied!
"Satsuki, it's the 10th today, right? Happy birthday. Mei Ying's voice finally came from the mobile phone, Lin Ziyue clenched the mobile phone in her hand and ran quickly downstairs in the dormitory.
"Mei Ying, what do you want to do, what does this have to do with my birthday!"
The conversation became silent again, the wind from the mobile phone seemed to be a little more noisy, Lin Ziyue quickly ran in the direction of the teaching building, although the guard room at the door was lit, but it was empty, Lin Ziyue didn't have time to think about it, picked up the master card on the patrol security desk, rushed to the nearest side door of the teaching building, and heard a "click" after brushing it Before Lin Ziyue opened the side door, a bunch of black shadows rushed out, Lin Ziyue struggled a few times, and found that it was actually a suit jacket, and before she could see who threw the coat out, Mei Ying's voice came from the phone again.
"This is my birthday present to you, don't come to me, please, don't come to me......"
Mei Ying's crying voice was like a heavy hammer, smashing into Lin Ziyue's ears, Lin Ziyue threw the coat to the ground, and while desperately running to the elevator, she yelled at her mobile phone: "Don't make a fuss! If you really want to give me a birthday present, don't play this kind of strange prank! You have to accompany me to buy a cake and eat it together!!"
Mei Ying's intermittent sobbing sound came from the earphones, Lin Ziyue pressed the elevator button, and the elevator door opened with a "drip", in the cold iron box, Lin Ziyue's heartbeat echoed violently, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, and took a few deep breaths to relax herself, but Mei Ying's sobbing sound in the mobile phone was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, and Lin Ziyue felt upset.
"Mei Ying, I warn you, everything is fine! Didn't you tell me? If you want me to live well, then we all have to live well, didn't you say that you would take me all over the world, eat until you are old, play until you are old, and live until you are old? We will live better than anyone else in this life, isn't this what you told me......
"Satsuki...... Woo......"
"Mei Baobao, listen, let's go back to the dormitory, you wash your face, sleep well, there is nothing to do when you wake up, let's go to the cake shop to buy a ten-inch cake, I have a treat, you can eat all-you-can-eat!" Lin Ziyue watched the numbers of the elevator go up one by one, for the first time, she felt that the elevator speed of the teaching building was too slow, so slow that it was like there were hands on her throat, trying to strangle her little by little.
"I'm sorry, I ...... Xiaoyue, I ......" Mei Ying's voice came intermittently from the mobile phone, the signal in the elevator was unstable, Lin Ziyue was afraid that the call would be interrupted, the elevator door opened with a "tick", Lin Ziyue rushed out of the elevator door, she once felt that the school elevator could not go straight to the 13th floor so hateful, along the small staircase leading to the thirteenth floor, Lin Ziyue climbed up in one breath, pushed open the door, under the reflection of the dim light on the top floor, Mei Ying's back sitting on the railing was in an extra trance.
"Found you, found you...... Mei Ying! Accompany me to travel all over the world! Eat until you are old! Play until you are old! Live until you are old!"
Lin Ziyue's shouting was torn apart by the cold wind in the dim moonlight, Mei Ying turned around, obviously she was already in tears, but she still smiled as chic as usual.
"I'm sorry, Satsuki...... This is my birthday present to you, you have to be good for us...... For yourself, but also for me...... Stay alive ......"
The girl in the goose yellow plush sweater waved at Lin Ziyue and jumped off the 13th floor of the teaching building.
