Chapter II
Pity the hearts of the parents in the world, they haven't seen each other for a few days, and the moment they sit down at the dinner table, their mother begins to shush Shinno, seemingly completely forgetting that she has two sons. Pen ~ fun ~ Nobuki www.biquge.info Kaki couldn't help but cough to find a sense of presence, and Nobuno cast a grateful glance at him.
"Ah Shu, have you found a job?" Mom took a sip of water and moistened her throat, like a different person, completely different from her attitude towards Shinno just now.
Xinshu almost choked on the half-swallowed meal, hurriedly took a sip of water, secretly annoyed that he was looking for a sense of existence, and begged for trouble stupidly, "Not yet, there is something going on in the past two days, go to the interview another day." Mom glared at Xinshu, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, so he lowered his head and pulled rice into his mouth.
"Ono, you are our family's greatest hope. Look at your brother, if he doesn't do his job all day long, he hasn't grown at all, and I don't have the energy to care about him. You just play normally, go to a prestigious university to fight for us, and let us raise our heads in front of our relatives and neighbors. Mom said to Nobuno in a serious voice, and Nobuki couldn't help but exhale secretly, lowering his head and gloating to listen to his mother's lecture to Nobuno. Nobuno has always been the image of a good child in front of his mother, and looking at the aggrieved appearance of Nobuno who is in pain and can't express it, Nobuki secretly rejoices. "By the way, Ono, has your brother been secretly playing games recently, look at his door and don't step out, and his cover is as white as plaster." Mom's words changed, and Xinshu chuckled in his heart.
"No, no, my brother is responsible for living and cooking, you see that the house is so clean, how can you have time to play games." Nobuki let out a sigh of relief, and sure enough, if he wanted to hide from his mother, he had to rely on his brothers.
"Ono is about to take the exam, otherwise, Ah Shu, don't be in a hurry to find a job first, it's not too late to wait for your brother to finish the exam, but you're not too young, and it's time to talk about a girlfriend." As the cliché goes, it was Nobuno who gloated this time, and Nobuki could only keep nodding his head and saying yes.
The TV was playing the news from the local TV station, and the scene shifted to the street view.
"Hello everyone, I'm journalist Janei, and now I'm at the scene of a car accident. We learned first-hand about the accident in which the JR-2 robot collided with a car through eyewitnesses. It is said that the JR-2 robot chose to collide with a car in order to save a puppy, which is known to violate the first of the three laws of robots. Putting a car occupant in danger in order to save a stray dog is a difficult thing to explain. Now we hand the footage to the relevant experts and let them give us some explanations. ”
"The three laws of the robot are absolutely impossible to change, this JR-2 robot model is old, the biggest possibility is that there is a technical failure, but the audience don't worry, this robot has long been eliminated, almost disappeared from the market, only a very small number are still in service, the authorities have promised to find out the specific situation as soon as possible, take a series of measures after the assessment, and then give everyone a satisfactory answer."
"I believe that the audience is still satisfied with this result, and we will bring you more information later."
As an eyewitness, Nobuki was thoughtful after reading the news, Nobuno and his mother were quite interested in the news, and Nobuno explained to his mother the history of the development of artificial intelligence and its impact on the military, medical care, life and other aspects while eating, and when he mentioned the game, he also took a special look at Nobuki. Shinshu's back was cold, and he continued to eat as if nothing had happened, and finally after eating, Shinshu ran back to his house with a smoke.
The cool wind crept in through the cracks in the window, stirring up countless tiny bumps on the pale skin of the letter tree, and without warning, a feeling of dazed emptiness welled up in his quiet heart. Xinshu has always been a son who does not seek to be motivated in the eyes of his mother, and in fact, Xinshu is often very entangled in his heart whether he should continue to play games without telling his mother, or find a stable job to get married and have children according to his mother's wishes. Seeing his mother's black hair just now made him feel disordered again.
Mom dyed her hair again, and Nobuki once encouraged Nobuno to tell her mother that there was no need to dye her hair, and her mother always smiled and said that she looked so good and looked young. In fact, Nobuki knew that it was because her mother didn't want to show the ruthlessness of the years in front of the brothers, but the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes couldn't be dyed. Nobuki forgets how many times he has wandered at this fork in the road of self-blame and powerlessness, wanting to help his mother do something, but he has never been able to become the eldest son she wants.
It's really self-inflicted, and the letter tree lying on the bed arranges his body into a large shape, his eyes wandering aimlessly in the dark room, and suddenly a bunch of boxes enter his field of vision. A Gollum got up from the bed, and Shinki walked to the side of the bed, which was filled with boxes of all kinds. Due to the limited space, Nobuki stretched out a hand and kept groping between the boxes.
It didn't take long to finally find the hidden box in a hidden location, and Nobuki's knuckles reflexively flicked, colliding with the box with a dull sound. With the sound of the impact, something that had been sleeping for a long time in his heart broke free from its shackles, and his heart beat and breathing became rapid. Nobuki felt his body uncontrollable and trembled violently until his two hands grabbed the box without heeding. Xinshu woke up like a dream, his scattered eyes became brighter, his body sank, and he pulled it out of the pile of boxes, completely unaware of the uproar that the box had fallen to the ground.
Syllable.
As if he had exhausted all his strength, Nobuki finally put the small box on the desk. The main material of the box is a black cardboard shell, which does not look special, and the appearance is printed with a simple pattern: a seed that breaks out of the shell, a tan hard shell, and a soft tender green new life.
Nobuki raised his trembling pale hands to caress the familiar and unfamiliar box, and then raised his hand to lift the lid. The contents of the box are not rare treasures, just a virtual reality wearable device in the shape of a half-wrapped helmet, and those who know it can tell at a glance that it is a dedicated client for "Blade of Bonds", and the electroplated LOGO on it is shining. Being so close, the heat from the nostrils of the letter tree left a thin layer of moisture on the familiar pattern.
Da-da-da-da.
There was a faint sound of footsteps in the hallway, and Nobuki remembered that his mother was still at home, so he hurriedly put the virtual reality device back into the box, and then quickly sandwiched it between the other boxes.
Mom knocked lightly on the door, pushed the door in with the permission of the letter tree, and turned on the light. Seeing that the room was a little messy, my mother put the things she was holding in her arms on the bed, and then picked up a piece of clothing that had fallen on the ground, folded it and put it on the bedside table.
"I'll do it myself." Xinshu got up and hurriedly grabbed the things that should be packed around in his hands, divided them by two, and put them in the locker.
"The lights are not on, you see that your skin is not bloody. This is a new dress bought for you, you try to see if it fits," Mom hasn't entered his room since Nobuki promised Mom to quit gaming. Bringing new clothes to Nobuki this time made him have mixed feelings in his heart. Mom found that Xinshu Lu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked embarrassed, as if she suddenly remembered something, opened the door and retreated, "You try it first, if there is something that doesn't fit and take it to the living room, I'll bring it back to you tomorrow morning and replace it." ”
Tweeted! Tweeted!
The sparrow outside the window wakes Nobuki up, and he tiptoes into the living room to find that his mother has left, and there is a leftover breakfast on the table. Nobuno was brushing his teeth and washing his face, ready to go to class.
"Don't worry, Mom won't be back for the next few days." Nobuno almost laughed out loud when he saw Nobuki look like a rat crossing the street.
"You did well yesterday and deserve to be commended, and I can give you an extra meal this week." Nobuki stepped on the chair with one foot, put his ass on the chair and feasted on it, ate the rest of the breakfast, and then burped contentedly.
"Thanks to the compliment, I think we can both apply for film school." If Nobuno can really apply for the film school in the future, Nobuki will be indispensable.
"I think it's the same, a chef who doesn't want to be an actor is not a high-end gamer." As a teacher of Shinno's enlightenment, Nobuki is not ashamed.
"Let's not talk about whether they have an elderly class, just talking about your acting path is a problem." As he spoke, Nobuno pinned the school emblem to his chest. The crisp dark student uniform fits just right on him, and he is a beautiful boy full of youthful atmosphere.
"Go, go, I'm going to be late." Nobuki watched Nobuno close the door, sneaked to the security door and opened it quietly, glanced down the aisle, made sure that there was no situation, shook his head proudly, and trotted back to his bedroom with his eyes rolling around.
Put on the virtual reality face helmet, set the safety parameters, scan the facial contours and pupils, and voice confirmation to enter the game, these processes are completed in one go under the operation of Xinshu.
A wave of fatigue hit, and Nobuki couldn't help but close his eyes, and after a short pause, Nobuki opened his eyes in the game.
"Welcome to Blade of Bonds, we wish you a great time in the game, and if you have any questions, please let us know and we will respond within an hour."
Nobuki checked his equipment and status, and in the upper left corner of the field of vision was his character's name, the Black Leaf Tree, LV69.Next to it was a slightly curved green bar, showing the number 1023710237 representing the player's health. In the upper right corner is a long orange bar, which represents the character's physical condition. The perspective in the game is not much different from reality, the main thing is that there are a lot of flashing function icons and parameters, so that players can understand their own situation in the game in time.
