20 Echoes the first chapter

【Z City】

"Go up! ADC don't coward, I'll protect you. "Oh, why did you lose again, you can't stop being so pitiful!" "Let's go, go on the road and catch people, I'll go around the grass." "Eat me! One library! "Whoosh, whoosh, Hazah! Ah, the pain crack is also opened! Pain pain, pain! ”

In the hustle and bustle of the city, there is always such a noisy place - the Internet café.

This is a unique, inexpensive, and nationwide form of entertainment in country Z. Almost all young people go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet, and most of them are playing a game called League of Legends, or LOL for short.

From ancient times to the present, people will start to think about playing after satisfying food and clothing. Rich people like to play with pets, like to travel around, like some high-cost activities such as golf; The poor would go drinking, singing, getting together for chats, and there was a new low-cost form of entertainment - the Internet.

The Internet is really incredible. There is everything on it, you can see everything, you can listen to everything, you can say everything. If we only consider the communication between people, the network society is another human society, where people build a virtual self on the network, know virtual others, and complete virtual things, all of which are in line with human life, authentic, complete, and trance-like.

The development of science and technology, the popularization of the Internet, and low prices have given rise to the emergence of Internet cafes as a new form of entertainment among young people. To be precise, go to an Internet café to play games, play competitive games, and experience the tense atmosphere that you can't experience in ordinary life. If you are with friends, you can also enhance friendships, similar to a social activity, playing games is just a medium that everyone enjoys, so the communication is easier and more enjoyable.

It's night time, and there aren't many people in this high-end Internet café, just a dozen people, and most of them are students. It's all three or two people sitting together in the dark, arguing, shouting, and cooperating with each other to complete the kill and achieve victory. No matter how helpless or powerless I am in the real world, just this moment, on the Internet, this is my wonderful.

Unlike most people who call friends to come over for a night out, there is a quiet-looking teenager sitting alone at the back of the café. He was wearing an off-white shirt and light blue pants, and he was ironed very flat. I don't look very old, just fifteen or sixteen years old, there is a glass of water on the computer desk in front of me, and a few small bottles, which are written in English and I don't know what they are.

The boy had short hair, smooth skin on his cheeks, no pimples and no beard, his lips were pale and thin, his fingers were slender, and his nails were cut short, white and clean. At this time, he was engrossed in staring at the screen, and it was LOL that was displayed on the screen.

Daquan came in from outside, opened a ticket at the counter, and walked straight to the boy and sat down. The young man happened to finish playing a game at this time, and was a little surprised to see Daquan sitting directly next to him, he put down his headphones and asked Daquan, "Hello, are you ......?" ”

"Hello, my name is Zhang Quan. As you can see, I'm also here to surf the Internet. Daquan skillfully turned on the computer, put a glass of water on the computer desk, turned his head and asked the boy, "Is there anyone here?" Is it okay to do next to you? ”

"There are no people, and it doesn't hurt to sit down." The boy's face was a little puzzled, "It's just why you're sitting here?" ”

"There's no particular reason for that." Daquan entered the account number and password into the computer, turned around and shrugged at the young man, "I think you're the only one here, and it just so happens that I'm also alone, so I want to have a companion." ”

"Really?" The boy was still a little unconvinced.

"Of course, what else." Daquan smiled and stretched out his hand to open LOL, "I see you're also playing this game, let's play together." What district are you in? ”

Although the boy was still a little confused, it didn't affect him anyway, it was better to say that someone to play with him was with him. So he said to Daquan; "I'm in District XXXX, what about you?"

"Coincidentally, I'm also in the XXXX area, so we can open the black together. I'm going to gold tonight! ”

“…… Which, I'm Brass 5......"

"I'm going to the great gods! Last time, a friend of mine was in a 10-game winning streak and it was also a Brass 5. Brass 5 is a hidden rank. ”

“…… Well, let's get started. I'm ordering, what about you? ”

"I'm a jungler, just right. We're going to carry the whole audience today! ”

At the beginning of the game, neither of them has headphones on their sleeves for good communication, and some soft music is playing in the hall, which is in stark contrast to the tension of the game. At first, the boy was a little uneasy, but when the game began, he fell into the exciting game world wholeheartedly.

Mend the knife, move the position, and arrest people...... His face is imprinted with the light on the screen, and his eyes reflect the image of the game. He is fully focused, attentive, meticulous, and plays the game as a profession or a way to prove himself. It is no longer appropriate to say that it is a game lover, and it is also slightly inappropriate for a gamer, who is playing the game with all his energy and spirit, as if facing his own life.

Time passed, and after 30 minutes, they pushed the opponent's home base down to win the first game, and Daquan won the MVP. The boy shouted happily, "Ohyes! It's so easy to win, you're amazing! ”

"Haha, don't say that, you're also very strong, and you're playing very well on the road."

When the game was over, the relationship between the two was one step closer. This is the case with young people, when they do something that they both like together, they will suddenly become much closer.

Daquan glanced down at the time, and then said to the boy, "Let's do it again." What are you playing this time? ”

"Well, I want to play ADC."

"Okay, then I'll play support. Let's break down. ”

Another game begins, and this time the two of them go down the road together. At first, the situation was very unsmooth, and the lineup combination was not very good, but with the cooperation of the two, they finally succeeded in playing an advantage in the lower lane, expanding the advantage to the whole game, and finally won the victory after nearly an hour, this time the teenager was the MVP.

"Ha, ha, I'm so tired." The boy gasped a little, but there was a happy expression on his face, "I'm really lucky to be able to turn the tables, it's a good feeling to fight back like this." Ahem, ahem. ”

Saying that, the young man coughed, and he quickly took out a few pill-like things from the small bottle in front of him and drank the water, and then slowly recovered.

"What's wrong with you?" Looking at the young man's movements, Daquan asked.

"It's nothing, there is a little illness on my body, I just took the medicine. Let's have another plate. The teenager quickly clicked the invite button on the screen. Looking at the way he looks, it seems that he doesn't want to stay too long on the previous topic.

Daquan didn't ask much, clicked to accept the invitation, and started another plate.

The time passed slowly in the victory of the two of them one after another, during which the boy coughed many times, and each time he took the medicine, he got better, but after a while, he coughed again, and he took the medicine again, which lasted for a long time. He still covered his chest from time to time, his face became pale, and he picked up another medicine and swallowed it before he recovered. It seems that his illness is not as easy as he says it is.

"Eh, be careful!" "You wait for me, come right away." "Good! Go on the road and catch a wave of ......" "Twinkle and go to the big dragon to gather. ”

The two have more and more conversations, just like two good friends who are in black together, but they have only known each other for one night, and they don't even know each other's names, only calling them by their names in the game. A game is something magical and strange that strangers can become familiar with, but it is limited to that, and never involves anything outside of the game. It's just a game, just like life.

Before they knew it, it was dawning outside, and it was almost time to get off the plane, and they were about to leave after this last fight.

The final set was extraordinarily long, and they had been locked with each other for an hour, and they had not yet decided the winner. There is only one crystal left on both sides, and in the final team battle, one side wins, and the other side wins.

"I'm ready to zoom in, you pay attention to it." Daquan said to the boy.

"Got it, I'm ready too." The young man replied in a loud voice.

The two parties on the screen are still testing each other, and the Daquan who manipulates the stone man suddenly adds R, rushing into the crowd, and knocking the other five people into the air perfectly, and Yasuo, who is controlled by the teenager, immediately takes over, and the damage is off the table, and his teammates immediately follow up with various ultimates.

Yasuo dodged the opponent's auxiliary control, a Q, and got a head. and used the rush skill to cut into the opponent's C position and then a flat A, and it was another head.

“DoubleKill!”

At this time, the opponent has already lost, and there is no possibility of counterattacking under the premise of 0 for 2, and the opponent begins to retreat. In order to leave the power of the first battle, the opponent's jungler took the initiative to stay behind and was killed by the boy.

“TripleKill!”

At this time, it was already impossible to catch up, and it happened that a wave of soldiers was brushed out on the opposite side. The boy manipulated Yasuo to use E to keep rushing, catching up with the two opposite alone alone, and then rushing into the middle single, and a Q and Ping A's critical hit directly killed him.

“QuataryKill!”

There is only one single left, there is no suspense, E passes, the whirlwind blows, and the four go A, and collect the last head.

“PentaKill!”

“ACE!”

After successfully winning five kills, his teammates began to swipe "66666" on the screen, row after row. Daquan was not stingy with the language of praise, turned his head to the young man and said, "Congratulations, five killings are very remarkable, I haven't won it once." ”

"Hey, thank you."

A minute later, the five pushed each other's crystals, and with the words "Victory! The sound effect starts and the game ends. Not surprisingly, this Yasuo is the MVP.

The boy sat up from the couch, stretched, and picked up the bottles and cans on the table and stuffed them into a small bag behind him.

"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure." The boy carried his bag, it was bright outside, and the people who got up early to go to work went out, and there were gradually voices on the street. The boy looked at Daquan and said with a smile, "Thank you for playing with me all night, now that I'm leaving, it's time to go back." ”

"Are you going back to the hospital?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Daquan pointed to his handbag, which read "XXXX Hospital".

Only then did the young man understand and smile with relief. But he immediately said to Daquan: "Don't worry, it's not an infectious disease. I'm just too bored to sneak over to the net, nothing else. He came out of the couch and stopped beside his big body, "Anyway, thank you tonight, my dream of five killings has come true." I'm very happy, thank you. ”

After the boy finished speaking, he walked out without looking back, and when he went out, he stopped for a moment, turned his head and smiled brightly at Daquan, his lips moved slightly, as if he had said something, and then walked out of the Internet café in a piece of sunshine.

Daquan watched him walk out until he disappeared into the sun.

"Well, it's finally over." Daquan sighed. The scenery around him began to change violently, the flat and clean ground became uneven, the bricks and stones rose from the ground, the walls disappeared, the ceiling fell, and the people in the Internet café disappeared one by one, as if they had never appeared.

The computer in front of me was in tatters, the screen was broken, the mouse had been thrown somewhere, and the keyboard had been broken in half. The teenager's computer also changed to the same shape, except that there was a mouthful of bright red blood on the broken screen.

The entire Internet café became as if it had experienced a major earthquake in an instant, and the only thing that was still intact was the sofa where Daquan and the teenager just sat down, which was also covered with dust.

Although there was a lot of change, there was no sound, as if I had gently turned the pages of the book, and everything in front of me had changed.

"Oh my God, I'm exhausted." Daquan collapsed on the sofa and did not move, his head turned to the sky, and the sky was not the morning sun, but the setting sun, the dusk sunset.

"Playing LOL for 20 hours in one go is really life-threatening." Daquan had the word tired written in his eyes, he picked up the drink on the table and took a sip, regained a little strength, took out a newspaper from his clothes, and looked at the date, which was the newspaper three days before the earthquake in Z City.

It reads: "A sick teenager was staying up all night in an Internet café, but he suddenly fell ill and coughed up blood and fell into a coma in the Internet café. It was learned that the teenager is the boss of XXX company, now 18 years old, has suffered from strict asthma since childhood, and also suffers from heart disease, can not go out and do strenuous exercise, has been recuperating in XXXX Hospital in Z City, due to his parents' work, the teenager and his parents have little communication, and they have not seen each other for nearly half a year before the incident.

According to the hospital, a heart surgery was supposed to be performed a week later, which was extremely risky and could lead to the death of the teenager, but there was no other way. Even if the operation is successful, the teenager may only live for a few more years. In this emergency, the hospital said that it would take its own responsibility, and it was they who did not take good care of the teenager and let the teenager escape from the hospital. The teenager has been sent back to the hospital, but he is currently in a coma, and the hospital said that it will decide whether to carry out the operation according to the situation.

The reporter's investigation learned that this teenager used to like to play a game called 'League of Legends', and this time he was also playing this game before he fell into a coma in an Internet café. Due to physical reasons, he didn't have any friends, and he couldn't play games for a long time at a time, and this time he suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma, probably due to playing games for a long time.

The author thinks that this shows that this game is not good, it is bad, and he will guide his students to not make progress, be addicted to the Internet, and may eventually die on the Internet! …… The state should issue a decree prohibiting this game from circulating in the market, and no, it should ban any game from circulating in the market! In this way, we can return the network to a bright ......"

There was something said in the newspaper later, but Daquan didn't read it carefully, and he didn't pay much attention to it from the beginning of the writing to go crazy. He just wanted to go back to sleep, and he couldn't even open his eyes.

"Alas, I've never seen this type of ghost realm. If you lose a handful, you will start again, and you don't know it yet. I managed to make five kills before I hung up, or I'd be exhausted first. ”

Daquan slowly got up from the couch, his red eyes sweeping over the ruins. "But you really are...... It's sympathetic. I didn't expect to die not from illness but from an earthquake in the end. Now that the hospital has collapsed, the cage that binds you is gone, and the obsession in your heart is gone, so let's go quietly. ”

said Daquan smiled again, this smile could not be said to be helpless or mocking, "Your parents are really pitiful, they never appeared in your world in the end, but I, a 'friend', took a place." Oh, but that's fine, so be it. ”

He walked towards the door of the original Internet café, stopped at the door, looked back at the position where the young man had just been sitting, his lips moved slightly, and softly said what the young man had just said to him:

"Goodbye, friend."
