Chapter 16: Dreams
"Why?" , Ringer sneered disdainfully, he pointed at GREE and Xiao Tian, "How can you guys who can take e-sports as a dream, how can you understand someone like me who was born in the dark!" ”
With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the picture of the monster on the computer screen, and continued in a hoarse voice: "I'm an orphan, and we have a lot of people, all in captivity in that damn valley!" ”
"Valley of the Dead?" , Xiao Tian blurted out, this place Chen Ling has been to many times.
Ringer glanced at Xiao Tian in surprise, "Now that you already know about it, you should imagine what kind of life I live." We were asked to practice Warcraft since we were fifteen years old, and they gave us all kinds of opponents, and they said that if we won 300 games, we could get out of that valley and become a real professional and live a free life! ”
"So, I practiced hard, and finally, at the age of 20, I won 300 matches," Ringer laughed miserably, "five years!" Am I not very talented? ”
Xiao Tian and the others were speechless, they had been trapped in a valley for so many years, just to practice Warcraft, such a thing, they couldn't imagine it at all.
This is beyond the scope of e-sports, arbitrarily imprisoning other people's lives, this is a crime!
"When I walked out of the valley, I realized that the so-called esports dream is not so easy to achieve, I went to many teams, but with my talent, I really couldn't get ahead. However, I've been a Warcraft since I was a child, so if I don't do this, what can I do? Just when I was desperate, they came to me again, and they said as long as I was obedient. Give them something to do and it will guarantee my livelihood...... Hehe. Such an outcome was probably expected by them, right? ”
Ringer sat down slowly in his chair, continuing his nightmarish memories. "So, under their arrangement, I came to the strongest team in Prague, HIRRN, the captain of this team is called JIK, he is not only talented, his family is also very rich, his parents also opened a trading company, HIRRN is his family funded the formation...... Look. God was always so unfair, giving him talent and giving him a family background! Hey! It's a pity that he was targeted by them, and JIK was very arrogant and bold, so I took him to the underground arena, this stupid guy didn't have any defense, and he still played a lot in it. Soon he lost a lot, and then I egged him on to borrow money, which of course was actually lent to him by the people from the Underground Arena. Moreover, it is a lot of money, and even the JIK family can hardly afford it...... To this point. They finally came forward and they said to JIK as long as he was obedient. You don't have to pay it back. ”
GREE SUDDENLY SAID, "REMEMBERED! HIRRN…… It seems to be a team from a long time ago, and it is said that on the day they disbanded. The captain committed suicide by jumping off the building? Is it ......?"
"Not bad!" Ringer's voice was gloomy as if it came from hell, "In the WCG qualifiers that year, they wanted JIK to lose the game, but he was too stubborn and still won the opponent, and after the game, they threatened JIK, saying that they would force his parents to pay back the money and bankrupt his family's company...... As a result, JIK, a stupid person, actually chose to commit suicide in order not to affect his parents. Although he was lucky not to die, he will never be able to play esports again......"
"What?! In order to control others, do you have to force people to death? You've gone too far! The more Xiao Tian spoke, the more angry she became, picking up a broken chair leg and about to rush towards Ringer, when she moved, the surrounding gangsters immediately had to do it!
"Stop fighting! Britney! GREE STOPPED HER IN TIME, AND QIZAI ALSO PERSUADED: "SISTER XIAOTIAN, DON'T FORGET THE PURPOSE OF OUR COMING HERE!" ”。
Xiao Tian hatefully threw away the "murder weapon" in his hand, and Ringer also stopped the rest of the gangsters. But then something happened again, and a guy with his hair dyed blonde in a nose ring said sadly: "Ringer, your friend has injured so many brothers today, is that it?" Is this how you are the boss? Do you serve the brothers? Yes! Do we recognize such a boss? ”。
This person seemed to be quite promising, and when he raised his arms and shouted, most of the gangsters shouted: "Unconvinced!" Nonrecognition! ”。
Ringer glared at the golden retriever fiercely, and waved his hand coldly for a while, "So you guys have wanted to drive me away for a long time!" Hehe...... It seems that people like me are not welcome everywhere."
"Kicking you away?" The Golden Retriever smirked, "Of course! But until then, you'll have to suffer a bit! He waved his hand with a hideous face, and several thugs had already pressed towards Ringer! Obviously, the Golden Retriever and Ringer have a lot of discord on weekdays, but this time it seems that they are going to fall into the well and beat the water dogs!
"What, do you still want to fight? , Xiao Tian and Lan Rui walked to Ringer's side, and Qi Zai and GREE also each carried a broken chair and waited for them.
"You ......", Ringer looked at Xiao Tian and the others in surprise, Xiao Tian said with a cold face: "Don't think I really want to help you!" We'll settle our old accounts later! ”。
Saying that, Xiao Tian and Lan Rui walked straight to the door, there were only three or four people left on the Golden Retriever's side who still had combat effectiveness, and the others were still lying on the ground, at this time, in the face of Lan Rui, the "master", they had lost the courage to do it, and could only watch Xiao Tian and the others walk out of the door.
"Ringer", the golden retriever suddenly said: "Don't set foot on this territory again in the future!" Otherwise, you do it at your own risk! ”。
Ringer nodded palely and walked out of the door with stiff steps.
Out of the bar, Qizai and Lan Rui faintly guarded Ringer on the left and right, and the group silently walked through the woods when they came, opposite the magnificent University of Prague, the sky was blue, the sun was warm, but the group of people walking in the beautiful scenery seemed extremely depressed.
"Zhang Xiaotian, I'm sorry for you!" Ringer spoke suddenly, his voice extremely low, as if he had completely despaired of everything.
Xiao Tian looked at him coldly, "I'm sorry? You almost ruined my life! A word of sorry is enough? Moreover, you are not the only one who has harmed me, Jik who has been harmed by you, his team, his teammates! Their dreams and lives have been ruined by you! ”。
Thump! Ringer fell to his knees, his hands hammering frantically to the ground, howling like a wounded beast: "Dream! the dream! You all have dreams! What about me! I'm not even qualified to dream! People like me were born to hurt others, and they were born to die! ”。
Ringer knelt on the ground and raised his head, his face was full of tears, his voice was hoarse, "I also imagine you do what you want to do and live a free life!" But! But I wasn't born with that qualification! I'm just a tool! It's a tool they control! I wouldn't have survived without their funding! You say, what else can a person like me do besides harming others!! ”
Ringer's roar seemed to come from the Infernal Hell, and despite the warm sunshine, Xiao Tian and the others still felt cold to the bone!
This feeling of coldness to the bone marrow is despair.
Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but lower her head and gently pressed Ringer's shoulder, "Don't you have a dream?" ”。
As long as a person has a dream, he will not really despair.
"Is someone like me still qualified to have a dream?" Ringer shook his head with a vacant look in his eyes.
"Of course you can!" , Zhang Xiaotian said loudly: "Everyone has the right to dream!" If there are no dreams, aren't people indistinguishable from the walking dead? To tell you, my dream is to be with TopOne forever, and then I want to beat everyone and become the number one Warcraft player in the world! Now, my dream is half there! I'm going to keep trying! So, what about you? What about your dreams? Say! ”
Zhang Xiaotian squatted down and pulled Ringer's collar hard, her eyes were shining, like the first dawn when dawn came, she stared at Ringer tightly, and said loudly: "You say! ”。
Everyone looked at Ringer in silence, waiting for him to make a sound. However, he is just an unscrupulous secret nail under Sauron, he has lived in darkness all his life, do people like him really have dreams?
After a long time, Ringer finally raised his head, "I...... I ......", he burst into tears, closed his eyes and exclaimed, "I want to live in the sun, I want to be a real professional!" (To be continued.) )
