The real world, 72 hours before Dr. Chan's public execution.

This is a fixed point in time, and it is also the time when Lu Yuan agreed with Huang Mao and Brother Xiaoxia, before entering the Conan dungeon, the phone call he made was because of this.

The location is the rental house that Huang Mao gave to Lu Yuan, which has been empty since Lu Yuan went to find Third Brother Mu.

"Click~"

A door opened, and then the door of the rental house was opened, and several figures sneaked into the room, the lights were turned off, and it was almost pitch black, and the figures crept against the wall, rubbing inside.

"Why are you like a thief~" A girl's voice sounded.

"Nonsense, we are now the subordinates of the [Apostle], the enemies of the Ark Group, and the last hope of the Lizitou Society!" A man's voice rang out again.

"Uh...... That being said, but why should we act like thieves? The girl's voice asked again.

"This ......," the boy paused.

"If it's just because I'm afraid that this place will be targeted, then I think that with our skills, it is estimated that we will be discovered by the people of the Ark before we enter the door." The person who answered the phone was another male voice, and it shouldn't have sounded big.

"This ......" the first voice continued to be silent, and he felt that it made sense.

"Click!" There was a soft sound, and then the light overhead flickered a few times and lit up.

Under the illumination of the light, it is such a scene.

At the root of the wall, there are three students squatting, they are [Huang Mao] [Ji Zhao] and the girl who gave her a look at Lu Li when she entered school, this girl is called Xiaoya, I haven't mentioned it before, let's make up for it now.

Standing at the door was Brother Xiaoxia-Wang Wu, who was still in the posture of turning on the light switch with one hand, and carrying a bunch of food and drink in the other, staring at the three students at the base of the wall with a confused expression.

"You ...... What are you doing? Wang Wu hesitated and asked.

"Hidden ...... Hidden~" Huang Mao said with a little stammer.

"Hide your fart!" Brother Xiaoxia roared: "Hurry up downstairs and bring up the game warehouse!" ”

Whoosh, the three students were also embarrassed, and quickly rushed out of the house and ran downstairs to carry the game warehouse.

Wang Wu put down the food and water in his hand, and looked at the appearance in this room, this is the first time he has come here, and he thought, did that guy Lu Yuan live in this place a few days ago.

He walked in, and then saw a second-hand game warehouse in a certain bedroom, thinking about it, this is the one Lu Yuan used before.

Wang Wu was a little embarrassed, he didn't even know why, things suddenly became like this, he was originally just an inactive young man who guarded the grocery store, but now, he has become a person similar to a criminal.

He shook his head, deciding not to think about these things anymore, and then he pushed open a locked door next to him, and then he was stunned for a moment.

Inside the door, there was a chair, or rather, a terrible thing somewhere between a dentist's chair and an electric chair, with messy wires and unnamed parts wrapped around the chair, and a helmet-like object made of a washbasin resting on the seat of the chair.

This...... Is that the chair?

Wang Wu seemed to be a little frightened, he took a deep breath, as if he didn't even dare to touch the chair.

Then.....

"Brother Wang, come and help!" The voice of Ji Zhao came from outside the door.

Wang Wu suddenly came back to his senses: "It's here." He shouted, and ran out to help as if he were running away.

Half an hour later,Finally,A few people carried three second-hand game warehouses into the room,After that,Several scholars lifted the chair out very curiously,The chair was deliberately left with a socket that can be linked to the game warehouse,So a few people easily connected it to the game warehouse。

When it was done, the unfurnished rental house became unusually crowded, with various lines entwined with each other, and the game compartment was surrounded by chairs, chaotic, like some kind of evil religious ritual.

The four of them sat in the center of this ritual symbol, eating the things Wang Wu had brought and drinking water.

They should stay in the game pod for the next two to three days, so make sure to replenish their food. Three of the students were talking and laughing at each other excitedly, and only Brother Xiaoxia seemed worried. He was originally the kind of person who yearns for heroism to the point of obsession, but at this moment, he is enveloped by an inexplicable uneasiness.

"Aren't you afraid?" Brother Xiaoxia asked suddenly.

Xiaoya was stunned: "Scared? Didn't you say that the people of the Ark would not find this place anytime soon? ”

"No, I'm not talking about that." Brother Xiaoxia shook his head: "I mean, aren't you afraid of these game warehouses and this chair?" ”

The three students were stunned for a moment: "Don't be afraid, why are you afraid of these?" ”

Brother Xiaoxia frowned: "Aren't you afraid that something will go wrong in the middle, causing us to be trapped in the game forever?" ”

"emmm......" Ji Zhao hesitated: "It doesn't sound like there's anything bad about it." ”

"Nothing bad?" Brother Xiaoxia's voice raised a few points: "If that's the case, won't your parents be worried?" ”

"I don't have parents." Ji Zhao chewed on the chocolate and said very calmly.

"Neither do I." Xiaoya also said with a smile, but she hesitated for a moment, and then changed her words: "Okay, I have a mother, but I don't know who my father is, and my mother doesn't know, she is a public mistress, although I know that it's not good to say this about my mother, but since she decided to let me do it with her, I haven't said the word 'mother' in front of her, in fact, I hate my current life more than I can't wake up in the game." ”

"Me too." Huang Mao poured a few mouthfuls of water: "After my mother died, I fought with my dad every day, of course, I have been fighting less and less recently, because the old guy seems to realize that he can't beat me a little, hehe." Sometimes I think, when my dad is old, should I also abuse him, my mother committed suicide because of domestic violence, but I am afraid that I will become like that, my mother hates violent men. ”

Brother Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, he looked at the children in front of him who were talking and laughing all day long, and for a while, he seemed to understand why they wanted to follow the apostles.

Because they want to change, whatever they want, just don't let their current life go on.

Therefore, what I am afraid of at the moment seems to be a hope in a certain sense in the eyes of these children.

Brother Xiaoxia was silent, and he began to eat food quietly without saying a word.

A few minutes passed......

"Alright, it's time."

He said.

Then a few people lay down in the game compartment.

(These days, I want to take a look at the plot of the book, because I don't want to rush for quick success, and I want to scribble without an outline, and I want to take it slowly, and smooth out the plot and details of a new book.) Because the next book will be the end of the series of [Cosmic Consciousness], so I want to make it better, and everyone should not worry, slowly, steadily. ）
