Half an hour ago.

Girl with beautiful blonde hair and brown eyes in a white T-shirt and denim skirt standing in front of the bar counter of an internet café. Ignoring the surprised glances thrown from all directions, he said word by word in very non-fluent Chinese: "I, want, play, electricity, brain." ”

The young webmaster behind the bar shook her head apologetically, and then said, "SORRY." ”

Realizing that she couldn't use the computer here, the girl turned away to look for other Internet cafes, her boots tapping on the ground with a rhythmic "click" sound, and a hint of anxiety welled up in her heart.

――I came to this strange country rashly, and it was also out of the impulse of "wanting to meet DEATHBRINGER", and even the visa was forged by a legendary hacker MURDER7 directly invading the database.

But it wasn't until she flew across the ocean and then took the train to the city that she finally realized she was unprepared.

Not to mention anything else, my Chinese is really bad to death, except for a few words I learned temporarily before I came, I don't know anything at all.

The kind-faced teenager sitting opposite him on the train wanted to talk to him in Chinese, but he could only shake his head apologetically and say in one of the Chinese sentences he had learned before: "I, listen, no, understand." ”

Secondly, the money I brought with me was not enough.

When she arrived, she had brought all her belongings: 1,300 dollars, and exchanged them all for the currency here. I thought it would take a long time, but when I arrived, I found that the prices here were not low.

I only stayed in a humble inn for one night, and it cost hundreds of dollars. The price of food is also very expensive, and as a "foreigner", it seems that no matter what you buy, you will spend more than the locals.

If this continues, it won't be long before I can only sleep on the streets.

The girl who finally realized that she was not prepared enough, at this time, she just wanted to contact DEATHBRINGER quickly, meet him, and then immediately return to China, and continue her happy game house life.

It's a pity that now she can't find a place where she can log in to her "Battlefield" account.

When I came, I only brought my mobile phone and a few small luggage, and I didn't bring a laptop at all. While it is possible to find WIFI in places such as cafes, it is obviously impossible to log in to the game lobby of Battlefield using a mobile phone.

The nearby Internet café does not allow itself to access the Internet at all because he does not have an ID card from his home country. The way those network administrators looked at them was like seeing a plague god.

-- It's really unlucky.

The "princess" continued to look for a place to access the Internet, and just as she had begun to give up on herself, she finally found a small Internet café next to a nearby underground mall.

"I'm going to play with the computer." She said as she pulled out ten dollars and put it on the bar.

Hearing her words, the muscular man sitting behind the bar in a vest and smoking a cigarette glanced at her, whistled, and handed over a note.

According to the "experience" she learned from the Internet before she came, she took a note and found a computer that no one was supposed to sit on, and after turning on the phone, she entered the account number and password on it, and finally unlocked the machine.

This Internet café is smaller than the Internet cafes that rejected her before, the computer and the floor are a little dirty, and there are many people in the room where the air circulation is not very good, and she is choking and coughing.

――It's better to find that guy quickly......

The girl, who was very dissatisfied with the environment of this Internet café, downloaded a login device in the lobby of "Battlefield" from the official website, and then skillfully entered her serial number password, and immediately checked the list of friends after going online:

DEATHBRINGER'S NAME IS HIDDEN. "THE-CLAYMORE" IS ALSO OFFLINE, AND THE GIRL WHO DOES NOT GIVE UP CONTINUES TO QUERY "KING-OF-RPG".

Luckily, the name has just come online.

So, she immediately explained the current situation to the account. Then, when she had nothing to do while waiting, she began to browse on the forums of "Battlefield".

Although she has changed her appearance and appearance a lot more, the girl knows very well that she is still the otaku girl who stays at home 24 hours a day, except for eating and sleeping, she is playing games.

She doesn't really know what to do other than play games.

In order to focus on her games, she gave up her scholarship to several universities in California and worked part-time at a nearby car wash and store, while renting a cottage to use as a "base".

Because of this incident, the relationship between himself and his father, which was not very good, became even more stiff, and he hadn't been in touch for a while.

But for her casual nature, it is impossible to change her mind because of this kind of thing.

I glanced at the post from top to bottom, and I didn't see anything of interest, but there were still a few people who posted to guess the gender of the user of the "princess" account.

The girl closed the battle hall and leaned back in a dirty chair, snapping her fingers in boredom.

"Come quickly...... It's boring. ”

As if hearing what she was thinking, the girl noticed that her right hand was being held by a large, rough hand.

Turning her head in surprise, what she saw was not the man she imagined, but a man with an obscene appearance and a messy hairstyle.

STILL, EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED, SHE ASKED, "DEATHBRINGER?" ”

The other party shook his head, but continued to squint his eyes and look at her with bad intentions. Behind him were a couple of strangely dressed guys, staring at him with the same gaze.

Seeing such a scene, the girl immediately realized that she was being targeted by some kind of bad person. When she used to work in a store next to a gas station, she also met customers who were not kind to her.

As for what to do in the face of this situation, she has always been very clear -

"Smack!"

Withdrawing her hand from the man's hand and slapping him with her backhand, the girl stood up and was about to leave.

I'm a little sorry for DEATHBRINGER to leave like this, but now it seems that I'm in the wrong place, and if I continue to stay here, something bad might happen, so it's better to get out right away.

It's a pity that things obviously won't go as smoothly as she imagined.

After only two steps, several people next to him had already swarmed up and surrounded themselves in the middle, and the man who had been slapped by himself just now came up to him and scolded in blunt English: "BITCH!" ”

The girl didn't say anything, just gave him another slap, this time with both cheeks red as well.

Pushing away the lewd man in front of her, she quickly rushed to the entrance of the Internet café in three steps and two steps, and then her arm hurt, and the whole person was dragged to a stop in place by a savage force.

When I looked back, I saw that the guy who had been slapped twice in a row by himself was already annoyed and angry at this time. While grabbing his arm with his left hand, he clenched his right fist and swung it directly at his face!

- It's over.

Even if the reaction speed can keep up with the opponent's fist from the game, the body that has been in the house for a long time and has been in a state of physical decline is completely unable to avoid this blow.

The fist in her eyes expanded rapidly, and the girl subconsciously closed her eyes, waiting for the pain coming from her face.

It's a mistake to come here on your own, right? In fact, I have known it for a long time, but I have always been reluctant to admit it.

Now, bear the price of that mistake.

"Bang!"

After a muffled sound, the expected pain did not appear, and even the hand that had restrained his right arm suddenly released.

The girl opened her eyes suspiciously, only to see the man who was still aggressively trying to beat her just now, stumbling back a few steps while covering her chest, and then asked out loud a simple Chinese sentence that she could understand: "Who are you?" ”

But the next voice that came from her side, she couldn't understand at all:

"Hitting a woman is a very tasteless act."

Turning his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, he saw a short-haired man who was also dressed in casual clothes, who appeared beside him at some point, with a stern expression on his thin and handsome face, leaving a dark silhouette against the light.

"Let's go, I'm coming by car." The man who just appeared said in English.

The man's English pronunciation is extremely standard, but with some of the West Coast hip-hop style common to GTA, it is more American slang than normal dialogue.

“DEATHBRINGER？” The girl asked.

She saw the other person nod. The man then uttered the same line that NEO used in The Matrix:

"I'll.handle.them."
