Chapter 466: August That Never Came
August 2323.
Dragon District.
"Mr. Lin, there is your courier, please pick it up at this address within 24 hours with a valid identification, and it will be returned after the deadline."
"Hey, okay, here."
Lin Xun had just come out of the game warehouse, and before he could stretch his waist, he received a call from the courier company.
"Have I done anything lately?"
When thinking about this problem, Lin Xun had already changed into a set of clean clothes, put on a pair of slippers at random, and was ready to go out.
In fact, in this era, he doesn't need to pick up things like express delivery in person, and a professional errand company will help him settle everything and deliver it to the window of his house intimately.
This is a very convenient era, and at the same time, it is also an era of great social pressure. In this era when mechanization has replaced most manual operations, the unemployment rate is very high, and it is difficult for high-achieving students like Lin Xun who graduated from Longqu University to find a satisfactory job with a guaranteed salary.
Fortunately, the prosperity of virtual online games has provided a new way of life for most people.
They will be able to get enough money for living expenses in another world, and they will have a satisfying life experience without having to show their true faces, take care of their relationships too much, or even ...... There are certain laws in the real world that need to be followed.
In this virtual world, murder and arson, robbing homes and houses are all allowed, and it doesn't cost too much, and it doesn't hurt to win or lose.
This group of virtual world players, who are almost detached from reality, spontaneously combine to expand their territory in that bizarre new world, calling themselves the Players Alliance Army.
Lin Xun is also a member of the Players Alliance.
In the real world, he has no relatives, no friends, and does not like to socialize, and over time, the time spent in online games has far exceeded reality.
He had been at home for too long, and he even hated the bright sunlight outside the window, and if he saw a crowd crowded like ants, his mood would be ruined.
He would never have gone out unless he had to.
What the? Why is he going out today, you ask?
"It's weird, this guy claims to be my friend in the game, but he refuses to share the ID information, but he touches my personal privacy, I really suspect that this thing is a perennial perennial pervert...... No, even if it's a pervert, he can't help but know too much detail, unless he sticks to me 24 hours a day, he can see it so clearly! ”
So, of course, he went out today, of course, not just for that express.
Just a few hours ago, an anonymous player sent him an email in the game with a voice message attached to it, revealing his Lin Xun's background in as much detail as possible, and using this as a threat (at least Lin Xun felt so) to ask him to meet him at the White Queen Cafe at one o'clock this afternoon.
Turning left when he went out, he got on the public aircraft on the fifteenth floor, but in about five minutes, he came to the place where the other party had made an appointment.
"It's a convenient time."
Lin Xun yawned, pushed the door slowly, and walked in slowly.
In the double compartment where he had agreed to meet, he saw a man.
How so......
With the appearance of the other party, Lin Xun really found it hard to believe that a man with such a look would be a tailgating madman in private. The man seemed to have an excellent temperament and good manners, and even frequently attracted the attention of passers-by, and before Lin Xun took his seat, he had already received a thick stack of contact information.
"Am I supposed to have made a mistake?" Lin Xun's mood became apprehensive.
The other party was wearing a light gray suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that looked quite expensive, and his hair was combed neatly, compared to his raunchy image of a dead house, it was simply the difference between the moon and the king.
"You may be seated." The man in the suit had seen him.
Two cups of iced coffee were quickly served.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Lin Xun didn't take his coffee, and he didn't care about his smiling face, "Investigating my matter, and investigating it so carefully, it should cost you a lot of money." ”
The man in the suit shook his head and said, "To be precise, I didn't spend any price. ”
"So?"
"I'm just here to inform you of something."
"Say."
"You're going to die."
Lin Xun restrained his desire to raise his hand and splash coffee on the other party's face, but his tone was obviously not friendly: "You plan to kill me?" ”
"I didn't kill you, I killed you."
"My life?"
"To be precise, not everyone can see me, for example, at this moment today, only you can see me. After a few minutes, I'll ask the next person who should see me, see me, and then repeat the process. ”
The man in the suit stretched out his index finger and pushed his glasses.
At this time, Lin Xun noticed that his eyes were green, very dark green.
"Isn't that right? You've been accosted by a lot of people. Lin Xun pointed to the pile of small cards in front of him and sneered, "Are you blind, or am I blind?" ”
The man in the suit smiled but did not speak.
Soon, Lin Xun had an answer.
He accidentally glanced at the shadow of this man on the white tile wall.
The shadow also looks good, but it looks completely different from the one sitting in front of him!
Which is the real him?
"People like us, when we walk in this world, we need to have another pair of skins." The man in the suit took a sip of coffee, looked up, and smiled gently, "You may have guessed my identity, right?" ”
It was obviously summer, but Lin Xun felt a terrible chill.
He did have a rough guess.
Who can know him so well that he can change his own appearance and pronounce the death of another? Only...... That's the only one.
The man in the suit rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his watch.
He got up, bowed slightly to Lin Xun, and said goodbye, then passed by him and left the café with European decoration.
The chill spread in Lin Xun's heart, and the emotion called fear was fermenting wildly, almost engulfing him.
"Is that the legendary Grim Reaper? Why...... Why am I dying? He just seemed to be looking at the time, confirming the date of my death? No, it shouldn't, the world ...... How could there be such a thing as a Grim Reaper? ”
This has surpassed the common sense of his life for more than 20 years!
Lin Xun sat down on the chair and thought about it for a long time without coming up with a reason.
He sat from one o'clock in the afternoon to five o'clock in the afternoon, until he couldn't sit still anymore, Lin Xun got up and walked out of the door.
The accident happened at that moment.
An unmanned truck used to transport goods suddenly lost control, fell from the track of the third layer in the air, and smashed straight towards Lin Xun!!
Everything in front of me is reduced to distorted nothingness.
Darkness descended suddenly.
