At nine o'clock in the evening, Bai Sheng sat at the computer desk as always, reading "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", he had been reading for nearly two hours, and was still studying seriously.

Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang a strange ringtone, and Bai Sheng didn't stop it, but slowly put down the book and listened carefully to the note of death.

The bells are eerie and terrifying, and seem to depict a person in a closed, dark environment.

"Hey! Still don't understand what this "Requiem for the Dead Town" is singing? Bai Sheng listened calmly as he thought quickly. It's just a pity that he still only heard the word "death". Although he tried to record the piece, the tape recorder was scrapped, and he did not dare to try again.

Still unable to find any useful clues, Bai Sheng habitually stared at the computer in front of him.

With a click, the computer screen went black rapidly; Then, it automatically restarted, loaded with a lot of programs that Bai Sheng had never figured out; Then, the computer screen turned on, it was black and then white, without any program icons on it, and with the last syllable of the bell landing, two white bones appeared, printed on it as "X".

The computer, which had been empty, suddenly turned blood red, and there was a skull beating in the center of it.

Bai Sheng glanced at his phone, and at exactly nine o'clock, a familiar voice sounded as scheduled.

"Death dominoes, the game of life and death, fight for your life, millions of fortunes are waiting for you!"

The dreamlike voice sounded in his ears again, it seemed to have magical power, deeply attracting all the attention of Bai Sheng, making him stiff, haunted by dreams, unforgettable.

As early as a month ago, Bai Sheng had heard this voice and seen this set of bones. At that time, he thought it was a prank promotion, so he went to the sales manager, complained that there was a problem with the computer, and took it for maintenance, he was there to watch it himself, but he didn't find anything abnormal. For this reason, he also quarreled with the sales manager and reluctantly changed to a new department, but the problem was still not solved. Even if he turns off the computer at night, the death skull will still appear on time every day, like a tracking missile, always chasing him.

Bai Sheng was very irritable, he told his friends about it, but the big guy didn't believe it, and he accompanied him to experience it a few times, and everyone didn't see anything abnormal, saying that he must be too tired, and persuaded him not to have too much pressure and just go to bed on time every day. Bai Sheng did the same, but the situation did not change at all, he was the only one who could see the skull, and even if the computer was not around, he could see it on other objects. Bai Sheng was scared, he thought that there was something wrong with his spirit, and went to the hospital for an examination, but the doctor said that he was fine at all, and he was still messing around, and directly blew him away.

No one does anything else, and it is normal for them to do it, that is a void event, or a ghost.

In this way, Bai Sheng went from fear to numbness; Try to accept it again; In the end, I was a little excited.

He looked up about "Deathdom" on the Internet, and although he didn't find the game directly, he learned some relevant information, such as "The Grim Reaper is coming", "The Hunger Games", "Tarot cards" and so on. From this, he analyzed that "Deathdom" may be a survival game, where players need to use dominoes to play related games, and the winning player can get money. In fact, it is similar to the virtual "Fighting Landlord" on the Internet, except that players can win real money.

Fight to the death, earn money with your life.

Bai Sheng doesn't know what death means in the game, but if the "death dominoes" really exist, and the description of this game is true, then he can earn money through the game to get rid of his miserable fate and live a rich and handsome life.

Get rich overnight, buy a car and a house, find someone you like, and step into the pinnacle of life.

Bai Sheng thought about it, he was a little excited! It's just that you don't get anything for nothing, Bai Sheng is not stupid, maybe all this is just a gimmick of the game, or it really needs to exchange its life for money.

Bai Sheng hesitated, true and false, rich and life, entangled in his heart, if he didn't try it, he always felt unwilling. What if, all of this is true! But if you want the game to be playful, you have to be prepared.

So, after Bai Sheng understood that dominoes were ordinary cards, he found many books to read, and finally he found that 0~9 in mathematics was about the same as the corresponding card numbers in the cards, so he inadvertently bought a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" engraved with a death skull.

"Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is very basic, it can clearly explain the irrationality of everything in the simplest way through the connection between 10 numbers. Numbers are wonderful, they are flexible, the simpler they are, the more things they can explain, and they can justify almost everything.

Numbers, dominoes, invisibly, Bai Sheng linked them together.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

The magic of death knocked on the door of Bai Sheng's thirst for riches. Money, or not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible. Because once you have money, you can do many things, no matter what it is for your career; Even love, etc. For this reason, Bai Sheng also desperately hopes that he can become rich in a very short period of time in order to realize his life dream.

But after all, there is the possibility of death in the game, whether it is true or not, Bai Sheng has to think about it, even if it is not for himself, he has to think about his parents.

Bai Sheng is an only child, he is already twenty-two years old, his parents often urge him to work hard, earn some money, so that he can marry a wife, he has not thought about it, but after all, life is difficult, many times you can't work hard, you still need a just right opportunity; And this opportunity obviously he has not waited for, for this reason, he is also very distressed, and occasionally quarrels with his parents.

Quarrel after quarrel, but Bai Sheng can also forgive his parents and understand that they are well-intentioned, but they don't understand the social reality very well, so naturally they can't think about it thoroughly.

Live, live, be born, live; But when he just graduated, Bai Sheng was blind, and he didn't have the right to choose his life or live the life he wanted to live.

Deathdom is a good opportunity to turn over, Bai Sheng not only needs money, he understands that opportunities are rare, once missed, I am afraid that there will be no more in the future; But he is more worried about the future of his parents, if he really dies, let them send white-haired people to black-haired people, how sad they must be, not to mention how sad it is if they have no children under their knees, and no one will send them to death!

Bai Sheng knows better that with his hands alone, even if he works hard in the company for a lifetime, he may not be able to afford a house. So even if he knew that Deathdom was a trap, he couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to jump into it; It's just that he is worried about the emotional bonds of his parents, and he can't make up his mind.

Will it die? It's not that important, it's the money that counts!

Money may not be everything, but it is a symbol of success. Bai Sheng is not greedy for money, but he knows that if he wants to realize his ideals, he can't do without money.

Bai Sheng didn't want to be like a saprophyte, without ideals and pursuits, busy working every day, just for so much money, holding on to his crippled body every day, and rotting alive in a life that didn't know the future.

Instead of doing nothing all day long, it's better to give it a go!

There is a momentum in Bai Sheng's bones, no matter life or death, as long as he works hard, he will not regret it, and he is not afraid.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no pursuit, and you can't prove yourself.

To go or not to go, Bai Sheng knew that the most important thing was to depend on the attitude of his parents, so in the month that the death dominoes appeared in a row, he called his parents many times, explaining that there was a chance to earn money, but it was very hard, which could damage his health and shorten his life.

At first, they were strongly opposed by their parents, but later they didn't object, and took the initiative to agree, saying, "If it is the son's own will, they will not interfere too much, as long as the son likes it, after all, they are old and useless, not only do they have no money to support their son's career; And I don't know a lot of things, I have no strength, and I don't have the land, so I can't help at all. ”

The premise of their promise is that their son must take care of himself, so it doesn't matter if he earns less money, after all, with the two old guys here, he can still work for three or five years, and he can earn a few dollars. The health of the son is the most important thing, so that they can have a good future, and they can also hold a grandson.

Early this morning, Bai Sheng happened to be at work, but his mobile phone suddenly reminded him that he had received 20,000 yuan on his bank card, and he hurriedly called his parents, and then he was sure that the money was remitted by them. Bai Sheng, who had already guessed this, had moist eyes at that time, and couldn't help but leave two lines of tears.

The child travels thousands of miles, and the mother is worried! Yes, every pair of parents in the world wants their children to be productive, even if they know that they can't help, they will clumsily give and not ask for anything in return.

Bai Sheng whimpered in a low voice, not daring to make it louder, for fear of being heard by his parents, and he had to think about it again. He was so good at talking about it, but he persuaded his parents to live or die, saying that he was doing serious things, buying and selling with a small capital, and he didn't need their money.

If you can't be ambitious, why do you need to live!

With the support of his parents, Bai Sheng didn't want to live a mediocre life for a lifetime.

Although he concealed some truths, since his parents had promised him, Bai Sheng would give it a go, he would not back down and decided to participate in the game, but he vowed that he would definitely come back alive to see his parents.

Everything seems to be predestined, everything has already come.

Bai Sheng watched as the computer screen turned red, and a pair of crimson dominoes slowly appeared. He smiled slightly, and smiled brightly, not in fear, but in excitement. He moved his fingers and made a quick calculation, instantly arranging the 10 digital models on the table into a triangle. If you look at the three sides of this triangle, all of them are 9s.

The law of triangles in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", Bai Sheng finally comprehended it.

"Deaddom, I'm coming!"

Without hesitation, Bai Sheng stretched out his hand and pressed on the white bone that retreated to the side under the screen, only to see that blood seemed to be spilling from the domino in the center of the computer, transmitting his fingerprint to the inside of the domino, as if activating his game permissions.

"Mom and Dad, my son will definitely work hard, and he will definitely not let you down! Don't always work hard to earn money, if you hurt your body, who will your grandson bring? My son is careless and can't be taught well! Gently pressing down the voice message that had already been recorded on the mobile phone, Bai Sheng only felt that there was a thousand catties in his hand, this weight was the motivation for him to live, even if there were any difficulties and obstacles ahead, he would step through.

Whether he is about to face life or death, Bai Sheng really doesn't care, as long as he lives, it is not a game to win, but to defeat himself, to find a piece of sky that belongs to him, and work hard for himself, for his parents, to fight for a point of faith, so as to make life more brilliant.

The dominoes disappeared, the computer was pitch black, only to feel a suction force coming violently, Bai Sheng's whole person was pulled into the computer, as if spatial teleportation, his hands and feet blurred, and slowly disappeared from the real world.

"Mom and Dad, you must take care and wait for your son to come back!" The figure swayed, Bai Sheng knew that there was no way back, he glanced at the rented house with affection, as if he saw the faint smiling faces of his parents, and the wrinkled face was engraved with the warmth of home, which represented the whole world.

With a flash of blood, Bai Sheng left the real world and went to the deathdomino. At this moment, a figure burst out from the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and he glanced at the skull that was gradually disappearing, and followed in. Ten numbers of 0~9 also appeared, and they were connected together and turned into points of light; And "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" slowly dissipated......
