When he got home in the evening, after taking a shower, Bai Chen came out of the bathroom in his pajamas, with a white towel on his wet hair.

She lifted her hand to open the PCI, and with the other hand casually held the towel to wipe her hair, the water beading down her cheeks and rolling into the collar.

"Ash World" forum, she opened Xiao Zhe's post.

It is difficult to determine who a person is from a simple name - a name is a name, and there can be many people in the world who have the same name.

【Ash World?】 Of course, it's a fun game.

Xiao Zhe: I don't think it's interesting.

[Aha, fledglings.

Xiao Zhe: What is a fledgling? 】

[Be careful not to be devoured——

Xiao Zhe: Devouring? What is Devouring? How can I avoid it? 】

Compared with Bai Chen, this Xiao Zhe is very "serious" - he is seriously replying to each player's comments, even if the content of the reply post is meaningless at first glance.

She followed the post but didn't reply.

Flipping through one by one, Bai Chen suddenly felt that this chick might not know that this kind of reply was meaningless—there was a strange feeling, feeling that he was just gambling, as if he was grasping every ray of hope that might exist in front of him, in order to ......

"Escape".

Bai Chen frowned slightly, this strange feeling was the same as the feeling that the ash world at noon today felt to him, a bit unprecedented......

At this moment, the page suddenly jumped, Bai Chen was still staring at the post in front of him, but every character on it seemed to be alive, jumping, spreading, shattering, and disappearing—the complete post "collapsed" little by little in the naked eye, and half a minute later, there was only one [The post has been deleted].

Fledglings do not have the right to delete posts.

Bai Chen had a faint sense of foreboding in her heart, she kept this empty interface, re-adjusted the new screen, opened the forum again, and clicked on the player search on the side - she could only search for an existence with a lower ranking than herself, otherwise it would be equivalent to "non-existent".

She typed in "Xiao Zhe" - the loading screen tapped for a few seconds, and the result was displayed......

This player does not exist.

Bai Chen's hand hung down at his side, and the undried droplets of water dripped from the ends of his hair, drop by drop.

It was so cold that she couldn't feel her hands.

Did he manage to get out of this game? But is it really possible to escape from the game "World of Ashes"? To be honest, she didn't believe in this possibility, on the contrary, she felt that this player named Xiao Zhe should be ...... He's dead.

After thinking about it, she opened the friend list and clicked on Jiang Li's avatar.

[Bai Chen: What does "this player does not exist" mean? 】

She waited for five minutes, but Jiang Li did not reply.

So Bai Chen locked the screen, stood up, and dried his hair seriously, as if he didn't care anymore, but there was a whirlpool in his black eyes, a little gloomy.

She dried her hair and finished reading the book she hadn't finished reading in the evening self-study hall when a message rang out over there.

[This poor chick has been killed. 】

——

——

Things sank into the sea and didn't stir up any waves.

After another two days, it seemed safe and sound, and Bai Chen didn't encounter the ash world again, so he went to school as usual, sat down in his position, and took out the test paper to write.

Until a man sat down next to him—

The Meng Xiaosu incident will not fall silent so quickly, and her position has become a "dangerous area" that everyone avoids because of the strange campus talk, let alone sit down, there are few people who are close.

Bai Chen had a lot less meaningless harassment because of this—but he didn't expect that anyone would really dare to sit down here.

Bai Chen's hand holding the pen was slender, she didn't look up, and the pen rustled on the paper, so smooth that people thought she was writing essays, flowing smoothly - but who knew that what she was doing was actually a math test paper.

…… Is this still human?!

When the person next to him sat down, the movement was quite loud, and even a little aggressive, but he sat down for five minutes, and he stared at her for five minutes, and finally he couldn't hold back: "Hey, you ......"

This is a girl wearing a black coat, her hairstyle is the same black and straight as Bai Chen, but her bangs are almost like covering her eyes, and the whole person feels gloomy, and her tone is a little fierce.

"Wait, talk to me in thirteen minutes."

Bad? What's the use of murder?

Bai Chen interrupted her directly, without blinking her eyes.

"......" The girl's eyes widened, and when she looked out, she found that Bai Chen still had one last big question-

The eyes glared again, three points of questioning, three points of confusion, and four points of doubt.

Finish the last math problem in 13 minutes? She's probably going to have to do this thing for the rest of her life, huh?

It's not going to be a trick on her, is it?

The girl opened her mouth, her temperament was gloomy mixed with a hint of bewilderment, she froze in place, her momentum dissipated most of it, and she didn't know if she should debunk Bai Chen's "little trick".

I don't know if it's tangled or silent, thirteen minutes later, Bai Chen actually finished writing the numbers of the last big question, covered the pen cap, and turned his head.

The girl was dumbfounded.

"Is there something wrong?" Bai Chen glanced at her and slowly brought her back to her senses.

The girl: "......"

"Yes." She pursed her lips, feeling that she was about to recover most of the momentum that had dissipated, and insisted on pretending, so she suddenly stretched out a hand and slapped it on Bai Chen's table.

Bai Chen lowered his eyes and glanced at it.

Bony and slender hands with black nail polish on their nails.

"Join us!"

Bai Chen: "......"

Join us!

Let's do it!

Let's be—

Bai Chen lowered his eyes, glanced at the slender and slender hand with black nail polish, looked up along the hand, and found that the girl's face was also very thin, pursed her lips, and her facial expression trembled a little.

With a bit of stubbornness.

Just stared at her like this, the stalemate lasted for a few seconds, and when he saw that she couldn't hold on, Bai Chen said softly: "You guys...... What is it. ”

"You're an official player of World of Ashes—right?" The girl was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly she thought of what else she was going to do, and she struck the table again—although she used a question, but her tone was heavy and categorical.

This tone is exquisite, probably the kind of meaning that wants to "cut off the back road" - the girl thought to herself that Bai Chen would probably ask her "why", or "I'm not"-

Seeing that Bai Chen was silent for half a second, he nodded.

"Yesterday when you asked him what the ash world was......" The girl's pupils shrank, and half a sentence collapsed in the middle of the way, but she didn't expect Bai Chen to admit it, and the draft in her stomach was suddenly useless, and she was completely confused.

The girl was dumbfounded.

Why doesn't she play her cards according to the routine at all?

"You're a player, so what about ...... 'you'." Bai Chen ignored the thoughts in her heart and said directly.

The girl bit her lip again, held her breath, and slapped the table again: "We—of course we are a team!" To win this game, you can't do it on your own – so, join us! ”

"I have a question...... Bai Chen listened to her words quietly, and only then did he react.

"You say." The girl nodded, leaning forward slightly, eager to meet Bai Chen's forehead to forehead-

Bai Chen didn't react to her action, just stated calmly, word by word: "You...... Who is it? ”
