The big war comes and goes fast. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The walls of the room at the top of the Mage Tower were covered with new scratches, and even one of the walls was on the verge of shattering.

Niu Yongxin's corpse at this time has also become unshaped, it can be said that even if someone close to Niu Yongxin comes here, they will not believe that the corpse of this black-faced and fanged demon lying on the ground will be the famous great magician of the empire who once reigned for a while.

Gu Fan was sitting next to a fairly intact wall at this time, and the stopper hammer in his hand had been casually clubbed on the ground beside him, and it could be seen that there were not a few wounds on his body.

And the tall officer also withdrew the sword stained with purple blood from the scabbard, touched the scars on his face that were scratched by Niu Yongxin, and sighed: "I didn't expect Niu Yongxin to use black magic to completely transform himself into a demonic body." Even if you don't mention the magic of thunder and lightning, you're a fierce rival. ”

After Ye Xiaoworm and Lu Xifa heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads approvingly, because the two of them had been exporting remotely, their images were far less embarrassing than Gu Fan and the officer.

"Anyway, Niu Yongxin has been ambushed, and I can go back to Duke Wenxi to get my life." The tall and strong officer was obviously much more relaxed at this time, and said to Gu Fan and the others: "You have made great contributions in this battle, the empire will never treat you badly, and I will issue the commendations and rewards to you as soon as possible, taking advantage of this time, you can have a good time in the imperial capital and relax." ”

With that, the tall officer bowed his hand and signaled that he was going out to preside over the ban of the entire Internet addiction treatment center, and walked out of the room.

At this time, Ye Xiaoworm also came over to Gu Fan's side, and smiled mysteriously at Gu Fan: "Hehe, Lucifer and I have decided to let go of the imperial pigeons and not go to the commendation conference." Take advantage of the past few days to have a good walk in the imperial capital, do you want to go together? ”

"Nope."

Gu Fan looked at Dong Can, who was still lying on the side, but was already completely cold, and politely refused: "I still have something to do." ”

"What's the matter...... Let's play for two days first, and then we can do it together! The leaf worm still didn't seem to realize anything, and said nonchalantly.

As soon as he finished saying this, Ye Xiaoworm felt a pain in his waist, and when he turned his head, it was Lucifer who slammed his waist and eyes.

"Damn, I just had a dozen percent of my blood left, and you almost murdered me, you know?"

"Don't make a mess." Lu Xifa pulled the leaf worm that was still chattering, and made a quiet space for Gu Fan himself.

But Gu Fan didn't seem to notice the departure of Lu Xifa and the others, but leaned against the wall alone, his arms wrapped around his knees, stunned.

……

The Imperial Commendation Conference was faster than everyone thought, and almost the next day after Niu Yongxin's Internet Ring Center was seized, the stage for the Commendation Conference was set up.

On this day, almost all the people in the entire imperial capital who had nothing to do with their hands arrived at the scene of the commendation meeting, waiting for a few heroes who heard that they were born in the law and order to come here to receive the commendation.

Just when the stage of the commendation conference was crowded, a burly gold-armored officer appeared behind the curtain on the stage, this person was the officer who fought side by side with Gu Fan and them at that time, at this time, the scars on his face had been coated with wound medicine, and the whole person seemed to have recovered very well, perhaps because of the promotion, his mood looked very good, glanced at the crowded situation in the audience, nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very glad that you can come to participate in the commendation meeting of the empire's encirclement and suppression of cults, in this operation, I would like to introduce to you three heroes with outstanding merits, without the careful planning and heroic progress of these three heroes, there would be no great results of this operation!"

"Next, let us welcome the three young sheriffs, the future stars of our imperial capital, with the warmest applause!"

"Gu Fan!"

"Lucifer!"

"Heavenly Dragon!"

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause, and almost all the people present cheered, and some even began to throw their hats into the air...... What Gu Fan and the others get will be a star-like treatment that they have never experienced.

But the cheers didn't last long before they fell eerily quiet. The people looked at the empty podium, and they were a little confused for a while.

The tall officer on the stage was already covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead at this time, and he couldn't help but shout to the backstage: "Gu Fan? Lucifer? Sky Dragon...... Where are you all going to die for me! ”

……

At the same moment, Gu Fan came to an address that Dong Can told him before he died.

"Sycamore Street 30...... Thirty-eight. Gu Fan looked at the house number on the house in front of him, and tried hard to identify the number that was already a little blurred.

"Young man, are you here to see the house?" I don't know when, there was an old lady beside Gu Fan who looked shrewd, she looked at Gu Fan, who was a little confused, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder: "This family just moved out and gave me the house, and there is still a lot of furniture left, if you buy it, I will give it to you as an additive." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me, is this number thirty-eight?" Gu Fan didn't answer the old lady's question, but asked politely: "A friend of mine used to live here." ”

"Who's your friend?" The old lady was also a little vigilant at this time, and asked tentatively, "Do you know the Dong family boy?" ”

"yes, yes." Gu Fan smiled and nodded: "I'm Dong Can's friend." ”

"Are you a friend of the second boy of the Dong family? You're in your twenties, so you don't look like someone who can play with a teenager. Hearing Gu Fan say Dong Can's name, the old lady's expression was obviously relaxed.

"Dong Can still has an older brother?" This time it was Gu Fan's turn to be surprised: "I haven't heard him mention it yet." ”

"Hey...... Don't mention it. The old lady sighed, walked to the door of the house, took out the key in the pocket of her jacket, and opened the locked door: "The Dong family has moved out, you can come in and have a look, if you want to buy a house, you can discuss it with me." ”

"Thank you." Gu Fan thanked him and walked into the house.

The first thing that catches your eye is the empty hall, where most of the more valuable items have been removed, leaving a few wooden furniture that is too heavy to move, scattered on the floor of the living room.

"Excuse me...... Where was Dong Can's room before? ”

"The second boy of the Dong family? It's on the second floor, I'll take you up and have a look. The old lady walked up the stairs with ease, and when she reached the second floor, she pointed to a room against the stairs: "This is it." ”

Gu Fan also followed the old lady upstairs at this time, he unscrewed the lock of Dong Can's room, and opened the door with some care.

"Squeak-" After the door opened, to Gu Fan's surprise, Dong Can's bedroom was basically there, whether it was a bed or a desk, it had not been moved by his parents, especially the desktop computer on the desk, which had not been moved.

"Before the Dong family moved, they sold this computer to me at a low price, saying that it was unlucky or something." The old lady saw that Gu Fan seemed to go straight to the desktop computer, and couldn't help but babble: "Anyway, they left in a hurry, and I don't know why...... But this computer is pretty good, all the configurations are quite new, if you buy a house, this computer is even if I give you ......"

Gu Fan approached the computer and touched the shell that had accumulated a thin layer of dust, it was obvious that the family hadn't cleaned it for a long time.

Seeing this computer, it is like seeing Dong Can at home, in this small bedroom, practicing his operational awareness and skills hard, making himself stronger and stronger in e-sports, and finally won the honor of KOTA's first passer-by.

Suddenly, he found a paper notebook under the keyboard of this computer, the cover of this notebook has been slightly yellowed, but there is no big damage and wrinkles, indicating that the owner has protected it well.

Gu Fan swept the dust on this notebook, carefully opened the cover, and turned to the position of the first page.

He was quickly attracted by the four big words "line matching skills" on the first page, and turned to the next page, which was densely filled with some of Dong Can's own game experience, and from time to time he drew some simple line drawings, like a detailed game guide.

Gu Fan looked at the notebook and asked the old lady next to him, "Excuse me, do you know why this family suddenly moved away?" ”

"I don't know much about this...... the old lady was also troubled at this time, but she still tried to answer: "It's just that the neighbors have some gossip that the Dong family is involved in a cult, and they are afraid of being held accountable by the empire, so they hurriedly moved, and I heard that the two sons of their family have joined that cult." ”

"Dong Can's brother also went to that cult?" Gu Fan raised his head in surprise and repeated what the old lady had just said.

"Well, yes, the previous excuse was to cure a disease or something, who knew that it was actually a thief's den." The old lady sighed: "The eldest son of the Dong family used to be a very good person, but after he came back from that place, he seemed to have become stupid, and he didn't dare to respond to greetings, and I don't know if he was caught in some evil magic." ”

"That's it......" Gu Fan nodded, answered softly, and then continued to flip through the notebook in his hand, he quickly turned to the back pages of the notebook, and then there was a long silence, he seemed to have spent a long time reading the last thin pages of this notebook.

In the end, Gu Fan closed the notebook with difficulty, but he didn't move it for a long time, but his shoulders seemed to be trembling a little all the time, and the old lady looked forward with concern and found that this young man who seemed to have resolute eyes was actually in tears.

"You...... Are you alright? The old lady asked cautiously.

"It's okay." Gu Fan wiped his eyes, trying to make himself look less sad: "Thank you, you can let me come here to have a look." ”

"Aren't you going to buy this house?" The old lady said with some disappointment, "If you change your mind, go to the house opposite this one and look for me." ”

"Yes, definitely." Gu Fan nodded and bowed to the old lady.

……

After Gu Fan left, the old lady tidied up Dong Can's room by the way, and also found the paper notebook that Gu Fan left on the table.

She opened the notebook and looked at it, and found that most of it was some technical terms that she didn't understand at all, so she skipped it and turned directly to the last few pages.

The last few pages of Dong Can's notebook seem to record a diary, and the old lady put on the reading glasses she carried with her, trying to read the specific contents:

"A few days ago, my brother was sent back by the Internet addiction treatment center, and I went up to greet him, but he seemed to be frightened and avoided me."

"The brother who lifts me upside down when I'm naughty, the brother who touches my hair after I win a round, the brother who teaches me KOTA, the real uncrowned king of the Imperial Esports Circle...... Got out of the way of me. ”

Since then, he has never touched a computer, never played a game, and never even spoke. But the parents are very satisfied with this result, they feel that their brother is sensible, and they feel that the former Internet addict teenager has been cured. ”

"His hands are no longer as steady as they used to be, and I can even see the spoon in his hand shaking while he eats."

"I often see my brother sitting alone on the desk that once housed his favorite computer, but now it is empty, looking out the window at the plane leaves that fall from time to time, his eyes are empty and blank, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. There have been many times when I wanted to step forward, but each time I was discouraged, and I couldn't even face the dejected appearance of the king who once dominated the entire KOTA circle. ”

"My brother once agreed with me that he would join me in the KOTA professional team and win the Grand Prix Tournament, but now I have a vague feeling that this wish is about to be frustrated. He used to love games so much, but now he can't even hold a mouse. ”

"Why can't our father and mother understand our hobbies? Why is it that they can watch a day of TV shopping on TV, but we don't even have the right to use the computer to chase our dreams? ”

"Lately, they seem to be talking about sending me to that addiction treatment center, and I looked at my brother, who is now like a walking corpse, and knew that if I compromised, I might have to be like him and never be able to play my favorite game again."

"In KOTA, even if there is only one turret and one crystal left, I have never surrendered, because I feel that as long as I can hold on, even if it seems to be a desperate headwind, there will be a time for a turnaround."

"If I do get caught, then I might as well let the horse go, and in the name of the KOTA Qualifying Passerby King, I will not compromise. I will bring the spirit of e-sports to every corner I have been, and the spirit of e-sports will never die. ”

"One day, I'll be in the national tournament as a professional, a place that our brothers once longed for, and where we esports people have the glory."

"Maybe then......"

"I'll hold my brother's still trembling hand......"

"Take him to the winner's podium ......"

"To embrace the ...... that belonged to us when we were young"

"A dream I've been chasing."
