Only in the darkness can we understand the value of light. And only those who survive the darkness understand the horrors of darkness.

Cao Xue and Ke Bo are both survivors. Cao Xue survived with a physical body, while Ke Bo survived with the torture of his soul.

After escaping from the villa, Cao Xue stayed awake all night, until she saw the first rays of sunshine in the morning, and Cao Xue's hanging heart finally landed.

Just after six o'clock, the mysterious man called. There was a bit of panic in the tone of the mysterious man who had always behaved very steadily, "I've heard about it, are you okay?"

Cao Xue's throat was a little uncomfortable, and she just let out a soft "um".

"Since you came out yesterday, there shouldn't be any more moths in the near future. But ......"

"But what?"

"This Chen Jiaojiao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the hard-arranged set was escaped by you like this, she will definitely not be reconciled. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Cao Xue tentatively.

"You don't have to worry too much, she just dares to do anything in her own house, and when she goes outside, there are cameras everywhere, and no one dares to mess around. ”

Although the mysterious man said so, Cao Xue couldn't relax his vigilance, after all, there were too many dark places where the sun couldn't cover him, and if he wasn't careful, he might really capsize in the gutter.

Cao Xue came to the bathroom and looked at herself in the bathroom mirror, only to find that after experiencing yesterday's events, she looked so haggard.

When I turned on the faucet and wanted to wash my face, I saw that the nail marks on my hands had not been completely eliminated due to nervousness.

Cao Xue closed the door of the bathroom and specially twisted the anti-lock switch. According to Cao Xue's memory, every time Cao Xue took a bath, she simply closed the door. Now that I was bitten by a snake, my vigilance is naturally a lot stronger.

The water pressure was so high that it filled the gap in the shower head, and Cao Xue was completely covered under the current. It was only now that Cao Xue completely recovered from yesterday's incident.

Because he pushed away all the notices except for filming, his life was a little leisurely, except for eating and eating, playing and playing, he just slept and slept every day, which was no different from Kebo's usual days. The difference is the difference between the problems and methods of the place, Kebo's usual eating problems are solved by takeout, while Cao Xue's diet and daily life are implemented according to the highest standards, and he is completely unconfident. As for entertainment venues, there is not much difference, one is a high-end Internet café, and the other is a black Internet café in the name of an Internet café.

At the end of the day's activities, Cao Xue lay on the bed and muttered in her heart:

"I don't know when this task will be carried out, if I really go to filming, wouldn't half a year have passed?"

"Ding! There are still three minutes left until the end of the mission. ”

The system's words were like a slap in the face, Cao Xue sat up directly from the bed and said loudly to the system:

"Isn't it only 60% progress?

Due to an abnormality in the mission data, this mission ended early. ”

Cao Xue was confused, so naturally she couldn't let the task end in vain.

"What's abnormal? You can make it clear!" Cao Xue spoke loudly, but the system still replied mechanically, instead of saying rigidly:

"Ding! This mission will end in two minutes. ”

Cao Xue really wanted to pull out the system and beat it, but the system couldn't see or touch it, but it could control everything behind it, Cao Xue couldn't do anything but complain, "Can you be normal?

"Ding, Kobo, don't be too upset, this mission is like this. ”

Finally, the tone of the system returned to its previous appearance, but none of Kebo's questions were answered.

The only thing Ke Bo who was attached to Cao Xue's body now was to wait, waiting for the end of the time, and if Ke Bo remembered correctly, it would all end at 4:04 in the afternoon.

"It's funny. Cao Xue had a strange smile on her face, "I've been busy for so long, but in the end I changed to a 404 not found, it's really annoying." ”

Even if Kebo was reluctant, the time on the phone still reached the corresponding number.

Instantly, everything around him began to become nothing, as if in a vacuum, so quiet that he couldn't even hear his own breathing.

Then, what poured into Kobo's mind was a cacophony of sounds and the sound of wine glasses clashing.

"Come, keep drinking, and leave the Cobb alone. "This person's voice is very familiar to Kebo, and he is a good buddy of Kebo.

"I didn't expect this kid to drink so many bottles today. The fat man chimed in.

Cobo shuddered, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the wine table, and several other people were still drinking.

Before it all began, it was here that Kobo drank with his good friends, complained, and then bragged about all sorts of things, but he didn't expect to be here after the mission was over.

Sure enough, everything was a dream, and Kebo actually had a spring and autumn dream after drinking too much. However, the reality of this dream is a bit excessive, and everything that happened in the dream feels like he has experienced it himself.

However, dreams are dreams after all, and now that the dream has woken up, it's time to quit those messy systematic stream novels.

Kobo sat up, picked up the bottle, slammed it on the table, and said drunkenly,

"Who said Lao Tzu can't do it? I'm going to put you down one by one today!"

Ke Bo wiped his eyes casually, his eyes were a little moist, it was estimated that he had slept for too long, and his eyes were extremely sore.

"Ding! This mission has a total of 0 mission points. ”

Hearing this voice, Ke Bo waved his hand a little impatiently, "I said that you drink and drink, what kind of game do you play?

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Kebo with strange eyes.

"Look, I'll just say he drank too much, you still don't believe it, and now you're all talking nonsense!"

Everyone laughed, and the system prompt sounded in Kebo's mind again, "Ding, Kebo, none of this is a dream, everything has really happened." ”

"Sure enough......," Cobb said silently in his mind, "I'll just say how this voice is so familiar." ”

It may be because of this mission, Kebo is obviously a little absent-minded, since he woke up, Kobo has never taken a sip of wine, and if Kobo remembers correctly, before entering the mission system, Kobo drank six bottles of beer, but now his head is abnormally clear.

If the mission is suddenly terminated in the middle of the process, something irresistible must have happened, and what it is, Kobo has no way of knowing.

Is it because of Bai Junwen? No, when talking to Bai Junwen, all the information that Bai Junwen knows can't be blocked, the purpose is to prevent the task from going wrong.

Since the task is still wrong, the reason for this can only be understood by the system.

"I still have something to do, you keep drinking, and I'll buy it." This is the first time that Kebo has left abruptly at the wine table, and Kebo has no time to care about Kebo's surprise. What Kebo is most concerned about now is why the mission was suddenly terminated, and at the wine table, it is naturally inconvenient to do all this.

When he got home, Kobo asked the system, "Why did the mission suddenly stop?" ”

"Ding, you only need to look at your phone to know the reason for the termination of the mission. ”

Ke Bo took out his mobile phone and unlocked the screen, but he didn't find anything abnormal, but since it was a task related to the female star Cao Xue, if something went wrong, it could only be Cao Xue.

After searching for the keyword "Cao Xue", the associated information at the bottom of the search box appears: "Cao Xue committed suicide due to depression." ”

Although Ke Bo had already expected a similar result, when the result was really in front of him, he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Just as no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche, Cao Xue's death was caused by everyone who ever spoke ill of her.

Ke Bo regretted that he had complained about Cao Xue in reality, although Ke Bo did not speak ill of Cao Xue on the Internet like a keyboard warrior, but his words and deeds in reality were very likely to affect his friends, resulting in his friends, even his friends' friends, and his friends' friends......

His actions can trigger a series of chain reactions, and the source of all this is just a non-malicious complaint in life.

"Because Cao Xue is dead in reality, the mission is over, right?"

"Ding, you can understand it that way. ”

"So, the place where I'm on a mission is virtual and doesn't exist?"

"Ding, the place you were in before is actually a parallel universe that is exactly the same as the one you are in now. ”

"Since it's a parallel universe, why suddenly terminate the mission?"

"Ding, the death of Cao Xue in this world is irreversible, so your mission naturally has no meaning. ”

"Is there no other way?"

"Ding, sorry, no. ”

The conversation between Kobo and the system did not continue. Looking at the relevant information on his phone, Ke Bo found a photo with a mosaic, in the picture, Cao Xue used to hang a black and white rope, seeing this rope, Ke Bo finally understood all this.

When Ke Bo first attached himself to Cao Xue's body, there was such a rope under the pillow in the room, and perhaps at that time, Cao Xue had already made up her mind to die.

What Kobo had done before lived up to the name of the mission: Infinite Achievement. Ke Bo successfully saved Cao Xue, who was about to die, for Cao Xue in another world, as long as she was alive, it was already the most perfect result, not to mention that Ke Bo also sent her on the highway of career development.

Therefore, this mission has lost its meaning, and the mission can only be terminated naturally.

Kebo wondered why Cao Xue's memory files didn't have death-related thoughts, probably because more useless memories were stored in the human brain. As for emotions, they are a magical thing, whether they are negative emotions or positive emotions, they are not stored in the brain in their traditional form.

As for the thoughts of suicide, it is very likely that they were generated in an instant, and it was at a certain moment that Cao Xue decided to die.

After this experience, Kobo had a very strange feeling, and began to worry about the fate and progress of others.

The scientific name for this feeling is "sense of purpose."
