Chapter 2: Deviation from the Everyday

When Moka walked out of the hospital, it happened to be in the middle of a traffic jam after work. In order to make herself more visible, she walked directly to the bus stop sign, and at that moment, someone suddenly grabbed her hand.

The boy in front of him was tall and thin, wearing a deliberately lowered peaked cap, and hurriedly said to Moka, "Go." ”

The boy pulled her forward, and Moka followed him without saying a word, and when she had run a short distance, she noticed that several men who had been waiting for the bus at the bus stop suddenly made a phone call and walked briskly towards them.

The boy who was pulling Moka made a few turns in the alley and pushed her into the Beetle car parked behind a small supermarket, "Don't talk yet, I'll explain to you when I get rid of these hyenas!" ”

Moka was stuffed into the passenger seat, and the boy walked into the driver's seat quickly.

He skillfully lit the light, stepped on the accelerator, and in a moment bypassed the group of suspicious men who surrounded them, and drove the car into the congested street.

The Beetle is small, with only two seats, the driver and the co-pilot, and the car has been modified so that the engine sounds very different from a normal vehicle.

Moka watched as the boy led her through the gap between vehicles on the road, nimble like a fish swimming in the water, and quickly got out of the congested section.

"Who are you?"

Moka asked.

However, the boy didn't have time to answer, so he turned on the car radio while turning the steering wheel.

“…… Multiply...... Peak...... The second ring road is congested, and a bypass is built. ”

The sound of the traffic channel came from the radio, but the boy desperately turned on the steering wheel, turned the car, and drove the car back to the second ring road.

"What are you doing?"

"Shut up."

The boy spat out two words coldly, and glanced in the rearview mirror.

Moka looked out of the car and saw the suspicious men chasing them sitting in a silver car behind them.

She felt that things were more complicated than she thought, and the boy didn't say a word, concentrating on driving.

The tiny Beetle changed lanes and turns from time to time, trying to go around in circles between the jammed cars, and by the time the boy finally pulled the car off the second ring road, Moka felt so sick that he was almost speechless.

"Get out of the car."

The boy suddenly stopped the car and pulled the pale-faced Moka to the side.

This is a section of road near the suburbs, and there is not a lot of traffic, so the boy pushed Moka into a car and parked it on the side of the road and hung it up with "breakdown to be repaired"

The brand taxi ripped off the cap on his head and put on the special hat of the taxi driver again.

"That car is too conspicuous, let's change cars."

He watched Moka slump listlessly in the passenger seat, and finally gave up a word of explanation.

Without the cap's block, Moka realized that the boy had a very handsome face.

His skin was very white, the bridge of his nose was high, and the few strands of black hair on his forehead looked soft and soft, and if it weren't for his cold expression, Moka would have even wanted to use "pretty"

to describe what he looks like.

But the boy has two sword eyebrows, which neutralize his overly delicate facial features, but highlight the sparkle in his eyes.

Unlike ordinary people's slightly brown pupils, the boy's eyes are very dark, and his lips look thin because they are tightly pursed, which gives him a firm and persistent momentum on his face.

But when the boy turned his head to look at Moka, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes became indifferent.

"I don't want to wash the car, I want to vomit outside the car."

Being said by him like this aroused a breath in Moka's heart, she gritted her teeth, endured the discomfort of her body, and stopped looking at the boy.

The boy seemed to be very satisfied with Moka's appearance, and his expression became a little lighter than before, but the speed did not slow down.

He drove a taxi around the ring road from the suburbs to the high-tech development zone on the other side of the city.

This is a new administrative area planned by the government many years ago, and there are many new residential areas in the vicinity, but the occupancy rate has been relatively low.

The taxi pulled into one of the villas, and there was hardly anyone on the street, except for a few security guards patrolling the complex.

Moka was a little panicked in her heart, she didn't know what this mysterious boy was going to do, and the social news she had seen before suddenly scrambled out of the depths of her memory, but as soon as she thought of Shen Nan lying on the hospital bed and her natural distrust of Senluo Company in her heart, she calmed down and waited quietly for the boy to speak.

"Here we are."

The boy stopped the taxi.

This is a house that is no different from other villas in the community, the doors and windows are closed, and it does not look like someone living in it.

Moka pushed the car door and subconsciously walked towards the door of the villa, but was stopped by the boy.

"Don't wander around, follow me."

He took Moka to the small garden at the back of the villa and used the key to open a hidden back door.

"Walk on the carpet, don't step on somewhere else."

The boy said as he fiddled with the doorknob and hung up a strange thin thread that had fallen earlier.

Moka then noticed that a thin layer of ash had accumulated on the table and floor in the room, as if no one had moved in it for a long time.

"Is this your home?"

Moka asked.

The boy closed the door and walked forward while gently playing with the fluff on the stall with his foot, covering up the marks of being stepped on by Moka.

Instead of answering Moka's words, he said, "I've got a few spiders over there, don't scream when you see them." ”

Moka shuddered a little, but after being mentally prepared, he didn't feel terrible when he really saw the spider.

Spiders weave webs in the corners of the ceiling and on the doorframe leading to the living room, making the whole room appear more empty.

It was a new villa that had just been built, but it looked like it had been vacant for several years due to dust and cobwebs.

"You ......"

Moka wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by the boy's movements.

He flipped a switch on the wall, and a staircase leading to the ground suddenly appeared in front of Moka.

The boy ignored her and walked in on his own, and Moka hurried after him.

When Moka was fully inside the tunnel, the passage slammed shut behind her.

Moka always felt that his life had suddenly jumped from an ordinary campus sitcom to a suspenseful sci-fi blockbuster.

The basement she walked into was like some spaceship space in the future, and it was like the real room of some Frankenstein.

Not only are there a lot of large electronic devices that look strange at first glance flashing red and green lights, but there are also rows and rows of flat, like capsule life support pods seen in the movies, with just enough space for a person to lie down, and the green liquid in the transparent glass interlayer seems to be constantly flowing, occasionally with a few bubbles.

"Who the hell are you?"

Moka shuddered, and subconsciously rubbed his arm with his hand.

"You don't need to know."

The black-haired boy replied with a blank face.

He pulled a silver chair from the side and motioned for Moka to sit down, "Now let's talk about Shen Nan." ”

Without waiting for Moka to ask, the boy said to her directly, "Shen Nan's car accident was man-made. Someone selected an excellent girl like Shen Nan, and then deliberately caused a car accident to send them to the hospital, so as to achieve an ulterior purpose. In recent years, there have been many such incidents, but the news reports have been suppressed. ”

"Is it Senro? I knew it wasn't going to be that good...... A well-known game company suddenly came to provide medical equipment...... Do they treat Xiao Nan as a real product? ”

Moka asked.

"With a little brain, you can know that Senluo can't be a simple game company."

The boy sneered and continued to explain to her, "Senluo was originally a high-tech company researching biotechnology and artificial intelligence, and then they discovered a new biological host with an incredibly high computing speed......

The boy was a little confused when he saw Moka, and simply omitted this paragraph, "In short, the cross-era virtual online game "Annai Continent" that Senluo Company is now operating, the most special NPC 'goddess' in it is actually not the advanced artificial intelligence they claim, nor is it the role operated by the company's employees as speculated by the outside world, but the girls who were kidnapped into the game by them in disguise." ”

"What?"

Moka's face changed, "Why are they doing this?" ”

"That's what I want to know."

The boy raised his eyebrows, "In the game "Annai Continent", the NPC 'goddess' is different from the player's Annai continent, they are all concentrated in a special space called 'Otaku Academy', and only when the player meets certain conditions, the 'goddess' will be summoned from the academy to the Annai continent. ”

"Shen Nan has become the 'goddess' who can enter the Annai Continent today."

The boy looked at Moka.

This girl with long chestnut hair had always appeared mature and steady beyond her years, but this moment finally revealed some vulnerability and uneasiness.

But to the boy's surprise, Moka quickly regained his composure.

"What do you want me to do?"

The boy raised his eyebrows again, feeling that his goal might be easier to achieve than he thought.

"I want you to enter the academy and figure out the plans of Senluo Company."

Moka clenched his fist on his knee.

"Why are you investigating Senluo, and why are you looking for me?"

She looked around, "You got all this equipment yourself from illegal sources, right?" If Senluo Company is really as powerful as you say, how can you say that you can successfully invade? ”

The boy lowered his head slightly, and the expression on his face instantly became gloomy, "You don't need to know this." If you want to rescue your friend Shen Nan from Senluo's company, listen honestly to my arrangement. ”

Moka subconsciously bit his lip, and his worries about Shen Nan overshadowed the rest, "I promise." ”

She said, "What am I going to do? ”

A smile finally appeared on the boy's face, but he quickly regained his previous cold expression.

"Otaku Academy is a fully enclosed virtual space for outsiders, and you need to improvise when you enter."

The boy said, "There are insiders from Senluo Company, and there are also girls who are accused by Senluo Company like Shen Nan." I'm going to hack into a subsidiary of Senluo and tamper with their numbers to get you into the academy as a new cadet. ”

"And then?"

"Dive into it and discover the secrets of the Academy's forbidden lands."

Out of nowhere, the boy pulled out a weird tights and said, "Put it on." ”

He handed the clothes to Moka.

"What is this?"

Moka unfolded his clothes and found that the black tights were made of unknown fibers, very thin, but extremely elastic, with thickening in key areas such as the chest and elbows, and several metal joints inside.

"There's no nurse in the hospital here, so you have to live on nutrient solutions."

The boy patted the capsule-type life support pod that Moka had seen before, and the green liquid in the glass interlayer flowed slowly under his movements, "This dress can stimulate your nerve endings with a weak electric current after you enter the academy, so that you will not become a real vegetative person and completely trapped in the virtual world." ”

"When the time is right, I'll take you offline."

The corner of the boy's mouth hooked up a sneer, "Of course, it has to be on the premise that you are not exposed." ”

As if to see Moka's hesitation, the boy pointed to a secret door behind him with an expressionless face, "That's the changing room, you go inside to change clothes." ”

Moka blushed and walked in with his clothes.
