Mu Li opened the door and motioned for Chen Hao to enter.

Of course Chen Hao is happy, it's too cold outside, so let's solve this matter quickly, and then go back and rest early.

Mu Li was the only one in the villa, and it seemed that his parents were not around.

The whole room feels neat and organized, and he is a person who is very particular about the environment.

Chen Hao smiled: "You haven't reached the age of eighteen yet, have you already started to live alone?" “

Mu Li nodded, it turned out that his parents had met him too rarely, so he had no feelings for his parents since he was a child, and it would be embarrassing to live with them.

Therefore, Muli asked his parents to choose a house for him to live alone away from the family.

"You see, I'm actually a person who cares a lot about the quality of my mental health, and messy relationships are the most annoying. That's why I chose to live here, just me, no one else, just play. “

Chen Hao looked at the VR machine in the living room, and sure enough..? This guy has a VR of his own, and this price is by no means affordable for ordinary people, even if it is Brother Biao, it can only be said to be disturbed.

After all, he has heard of a better VR machine, but he has never seen this one.

As if noticing Chen Hao's envious gaze, Mu Li smiled: "Huh? Looks like you're a VR player too? This one is specially made for me by someone I found, and you can't buy a second one in the world. “

Chen Hao looked at Mu Li embarrassedly, he was a little out of state. I was almost taken off topic by this kid.

"Then how did you meet Teacher Zhang Yin?" Chen Hao tapped on the notebook, and the ballpoint pen was randomly scratched on the paper.

Mu Li looked away.

"I'm afraid you won't understand that the more lonely a person is, the more emotionally important he is. I had a dog that I had left home with me, and that dog grew up with me and had a very close relationship. ”

And then what?

Mu Li thought for a moment and continued: "Hmm..? Then the dog died. I invited Zhang Yin to come over because she was uncomfortable, and she was perfect, no, I mean the treatment was very good. Hmm~ It's more interesting later..? She managed to cure my longing for my dog, but because of her I had another disease. “

"Lovesickness?"

"That's right!"

Chen Hao nodded, sure enough. He is afraid that Zhang Yin has also noticed this, that is, empathy, a counselor like her, I am afraid that I have seen too much of this situation.

In short, Zhang Damei's personal charm made this sad young man fascinated for a while, and now he wants to see her every day.

Because this pastoral separation is more tricky, Zhang Yin released herself as a shield to clean up the aftermath for her by the way.

is so gentle during the consultation, and when the time is up, she will not charge for it, and the woman is really a liar.

"Empathy and normal love are two different concepts entirely. If it is not corrected, it will not lead to good results for either side. ”

Mu Li smiled: "If you have the ability, stop me?" My heart won't give in anyway. ”

Chen Hao spread his hands: "Okay, the situation is almost like this, it is already obvious that Zhang Yin is avoiding you, you didn't notice it?" ”

"I perceive it, but I don't understand it. Are you people cold or something, Zhang Yin did avoid me later, and often used professional ethics as her shield. ”

But what is she hiding? A condition like mine is perfect no matter where it is placed, and I really can't understand why she has to hide from me.

Oh, too much self-awareness, kid.

Although Chen Hao was full of professional smiles, he had already thought about the next thing.

The time gradually changed from noon to evening, and from the villa there was sometimes the sound of Muli's fierce arguments, sometimes his passionate speeches, and then the room became a long silence.

Although the whole scene was only talked about by Mu Li, for some reason, Chen Hao just asked him to talk non-stop.

The light in the room gradually dimmed, Mu Li reached out and drank a glass of water, moistened his throat and prepared to continue to talk about his 15-year-old feelings.

"Li Wenqian, Wang Mengyao, Luo Caixing! Uh, how many did I talk about? ”

He may not have looked at his watch, but Chen Hao's eyes glanced at him for a while. As soon as the five o'clock hand passed, it was time for him to leave work.

Chen Hao got up and said: "Seeing that you said so many things today, you must be very tired, it is already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it is time for me to leave." “

"MD, it's five o'clock!" Mu Li closed his mouth and glanced at his phone.

Maybe it's because of the hell, the person who is usually so quiet can talk surprisingly today.

Mu Li glanced at the other party, he was packing up the papers, and many of his words were recorded by him.

This Chen Hao can always say something that he can't refute, and he doesn't admit defeat and argue with him, and before he knows it, he will come to this point in time.

"Your eloquence is indeed good. But I won't give up on Zhang Yin. “

Chen Hao shook his head, when did he say that he would give up pursuing Zhang Yin?

"I just don't think you're going to catch her." Chen Hao replied.

Mu Li smiled: "Aha, I'll just think you're farting." ”

"Come back later, I think you're still very interesting. That, uh~ What's your name? ”

Chen Hao was helpless: "Just call me Teacher Chen." ”

"No, why do I call you Teacher Chen? You're not much older than me. “

Chen Hao shook his head: "Don't you have a VR?" Maybe we'll meet in the game. Have you played Wasteland Remnant? There's time to be together."

After a simple farewell, Chen Hao sorted out the documents and walked out.

When Mu left the door, he coughed and whispered: "What, my ID is called Cowboy is very busy, and I have nothing to add as a friend." ”

Chen Hao covered his forehead, feeling that his head was faintly swollen

No wonder, I always felt like I had seen him this morning.

This arrogance is almost the same as that cowboy in the morning. It turned out that the young man's ID was "Cowboy is busy", the bounty hunter who left the team in the morning.

"What's your ID?"

"It's not early, I need to hurry up..? Good bye. ”

It was already dark after five o'clock, and the temperature naturally began to plummet.

Normally, Chen Hao might be surprised that Mu Li was the cowboy, but now Chen Hao can't take care of it, he has to go back quickly, it doesn't seem like a good idea to stay outside.

The reason is the cold wind, and the cold.

He stroked his forehead, slightly hot.

I don't know if it's because of playing games all morning or what, my head is dizzy, like drinking liquor.

Chen Hao stood on the side of the street waiting for a taxi against the cold wind, his headache became more and more severe, Chen Hao had never felt such a sudden cold.

"What's going on? It's only been a few minutes, and the virus has dried my immune system? ”

Drip, drip, drip~

Chen Hao's mobile phone rang, it was a string of unknown numbers, and he didn't even know where he pulled it from.

"Salesman? Or is it a typo? Chen Hao said to himself. The headache made his face so ugly that he couldn't even think.

MD, I need to hurry home and apply a hot towel to it.

Chen Hao hung up the phone a little irritably, he was in a hurry to go home, so he naturally didn't bother to care about this unknown number.

However, Chen Hao had just hung up, and the same number instantly came to the door again.

"Hello?" Chen Hao replied coldly.

"Oh, your name is Chen Hao, right! I'm looking for you to talk about the remnants of the wasteland. There was a voice on the other end of the phone, both male and female, apparently using a voice changer.

Practical joke? Or is it a scam call?

Chen Hao got into the taxi and finally focused on the call.

Chen Hao didn't plan to talk to the other party more.

"If it's okay, I'll hang up first."

"You recently got an item in the game called the "Blindfold of Desperation", right? Works, right? Actually, I gave it to you. There are also 15 badges for privileges! Hee-hee, I haven't heard you say thank you yet. “

Chen Hao's head became more and more uncomfortable, and he wanted to end the call as soon as possible. But at the same time, the other party also piqued his interest.

How did this man know about the blindfold? Could it be that his work has something to do with DCpro? Or is this person a hacker who is looking for himself to sell plug-ins?

If you listen closely, the voice on the phone doesn't look like a voice changer, it feels like it's computer-synthesized.

Hacker or scammer? This style feels like it can't be DCpro's official customer service, and there must be something wrong.

"With all due respect, you sound like a hacker, and someone who hides his true voice like this is probably not a serious person."

The other party was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "You guessed quite accurately, but it's still not accurate..?" What I'm giving you isn't actually issued by DCpro at all. And your EXitGAme was blocked in the first place, right? Is that something that can be done with a normal game? “

Chen Hao recalled that when he first entered the game, he did notice that the option to quit the game was blocked, and that such a strange experience was not available to other players.

Is it all its handiwork?

"So the props you gave me are actually a kind of plug-in? I don't need this kind of thing, just break it off for me. ”

The suspected hacker smiled: "Plug-in? That kind of low-level thing is not mentioned, this is a virus~ not a plug-in. “

Virus? What the hell is this guy up to?

"Okay, I'll just leave what you say true for now, so what? What are you calling me for? Want me to pay for your virus? “

The other end of the phone said: "It's very simple, I just need you to choose me when the time comes!" “

"When the time comes, choose me?" Who can understand this sentence that doesn't match the preamble? Chen Hao felt like he was talking to a madman.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you will understand it when the time comes."

"I'll ask you first! Would you like to choose me? ”

Chen Hao was a little annoyed, this guy was talking to himself! I don't agree at all, okay.

"I don't need support, I just want to play the game quietly."

Chen Hao's nerves seemed to be against him again, and suddenly there was a tingling pain.

He sat in the back seat with his head in his hands, and even the taxi driver looked at him with some concern.

"Really? Everyone needs help! Let's say you're poor right now, right? Don't just need to go to work every day? Don't even have a VR machine of your own? You want it a lot, right?! “

I'm Cao, Chen Hao had a chill behind him, what the hell is this guy, why does he know himself so well?

The other end of the phone seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Hao's state, and continued: "I can solve these boring mundane things for you at one time. Money? Or is it a better job? The conditions are yours! Chen Hao, we are partners in the future, this little favor is nothing at all..?"

I'll you! Chen Hao slammed off the phone, feeling his head become dizzy.

The voice on the other end of the phone, paused slightly, and said slowly: "Oh." You'll regret it. ”

The taxi driver glanced at Chen Hao behind him and said, "If you are blackmailed by the gangsters, you can call the police." “

Chen Hao covered his head and smiled: "It's just a trivial matter." Not such a serious thing..? Well, can you drive it faster, I seem to have a fever. “

Chen Hao is very similar to Mu Li, that is, he also likes to live alone without being disturbed by others.

So after Chen Hao found a job, he also lived in another city and tried his best to live here as self-sufficient.

Although his residence is not big, it is also a two-bedroom apartment, and the landlord of this room is an old acquaintance with his father, and Chen Hao can rent such a good house with his father's light.

Chen Hao went upstairs and opened the door, and then sat down on the sofa, the headache became more and more obvious, and he didn't even have time to get up to pour a glass of water, so he sat unconscious.

......

Hey? Where are you there? Sand Hunting City?

Chen Hao looked around in confusion, a very familiar feeling. Even the small inn near the desert was exactly the same as it had been in the morning

It stands to reason that I should be resting on the couch, how did I get here?

The place where Chen Hao is at this moment turned out to be the town before he went offline in the morning! He remembered that it was here that he separated from Amer and then went down.

Got into the game yourself? Chen Hao opened the menu a little scared, but fortunately the menu was still there..? In other words, Chen Hao didn't cross in, he was just trapped in the game as a player.

How could Chen Hao, who didn't have a VR machine, do this? Chen Hao glanced at the menu. The scene at this moment is the same as when he first entered the game, and the exitgame option is locked.

Chen Hao's spirit permeates the "world" of the game, which is made up of code. And also the ability to move repeatedly between two worlds. When Chen Hao understood the composition, he had more questions.

Is such a technology really possible? Or is he mentally ill? Everything is just an illusion?

Chen Hao denied his speculation, mental illness is unconscious, and his logical reasoning could not exist in the minds of mentally ill patients.

In short, the current situation is only clear to him, and it is better to take one step at a time and not act rashly.

At present, there are still one or two players in this town, and they have probably completed the novice mission of Sand Hunting City, and are currently searching for dungeon information in the wild.

Because the "Nearby" dialog is also full of messages from XXX seeking a team.

Chen Hao's level was only level 1, and the players around him just glanced at him and walked away without interest.

"Is it November 23rd, half past five in the afternoon?" Chen Hao asked in the nearby dialogue bar.

Soon the player's response came from the "nearby" message bar, and it seems that there are still a lot of players online at this point in time.

"Brother, you know so clearly, what time is it? Looking for a sense of presence? “

"Yes, I'm just looking for a sense of existence."

Chen Hao sighed, it's okay.

I haven't broken my connection to the real world.

Five o'clock coincided with the time when Chen Hao went home, which at least proved that he was still lying on the sofa honestly.
