Xiao Ai and his entourage went back to the dormitory after having dinner at the Crystal Blue Restaurant.

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Ai lay down in the nutrition cabin and logged in to the three-dimensional interface star network. It's been a long time since I've been on the Star Network, and I won't have too many opportunities to log in to the Star Network after the official start of school.

In Maduo City of the Star Network, Xiao Ai also has an apartment, which is exchanged for points that Xiao Ai has earned for a long time and has worked on the Star Network for at least three years.

With this apartment, Xiao Ai can set up a fixed-point transmission device in the apartment, and no matter where Xiao Ai goes to the star network in the future, he can return to his apartment through the fixed-point transmission device. In particular, this virtual apartment also has an important function, that is, it can bypass the background monitoring of the star network, that is to say, the background program of the star network cannot query the real buyers who bought these apartments, and once you enter the apartment, you cannot track the location. The people who make and sell these apartments or the backstage organizations are half hackers, but this behavior is allowed, probably because even the high-level wants a private space where the star network can be unmonitored. For this reason, these apartments are also known as invisible spaces.

Based on the above reasons, there are not many such invisible spaces, which are distributed throughout the star network area, and they will not be openly sold, but why did Xiao Ai know about it and buy one? In fact, it is pure accident, and of course it can also be said to be the necessity of chance.

In order to accumulate Star Network points, Xiao Ai worked as a waiter at the Star Network Time and Space Amusement Park on the Star Network 3D login interface. Time and Space Amusement Park is a game suitable for children to play, so many adults will bring their children to play in Time and Space Amusement Park. And Xiao Ai's job is to be responsible for receiving consultations, guiding the way, and doing chores. It's normal for a minor to work in an amusement park that is suitable for children.

But one day, when Xiao Ai was on duty, he saw a little fat boy hiding in the corner of the third layer of space, Xiao Ai felt that something was wrong, the children were jumping up and down in this amusement park, she thought that this little fat boy was lost or frightened, so she walked up to the little fat child and said gently, "Little friend, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

"Shhhhh

"Oh, then if you need anything, come to me..." As a result, before the words were finished, the little fat boy suddenly panted loudly and his face turned red, which scared Xiao Ai, and just when she was about to call for help, the little fat boy suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Don't, don't, it will be discovered." ”

Xiao Ai was suddenly hit by this behavior, and his brain went blank instantly, but he directly hugged the little chubby boy in his arms to the side of the service desk like a behavioral reflex, and fed the little chubby boy some potion. The performance of the little chubby child should be caused by the cramps of the body in the nutrition cabin, which is mostly due to the rejection or allergy of the nutrition cabin, once this happens, the best way is to first use special potions to relieve mental discomfort, and then lift the login body to leave the nutrition cabin.

The little chubby boy got a lot better after feeding the potion, "Kid, are you alone?" Do you have any peers or parents? ”

"Sister, I'm waiting for someone, I can't go out of the star network now."

"Tell my sister why you're hiding in the amusement park?"

"Because there are so many children in the amusement park, I am not conspicuous in it."

Xiao Ai was thoughtful and was about to speak, when a few people who couldn't see their faces clearly came to the amusement park, looking around, as if looking for someone, Xiao Ai quickly hugged the little kid tightly.

This is one of the people ran to a corner of the amusement park, grabbed a lone child, the little boy was so frightened that he screamed and cried, not far away the little boy's father hurriedly ran over, while shooting and shouting, "What are you doing, snatching the child, snatching the child." ”

When other parents heard it, some felt that they were holding their children tightly, and some also went to stop the man who snatched the little boy, and there was chaos for a while.

Although everyone is just a consciousness link to log in to the star network, but I don't know when it began, some people specifically catch people's consciousness, and some people's consciousness disappears in the star network like this, even if they are tracked with background data, they can't be found, but the body is still lying in the nutrition cabin, if the person's consciousness does not return to the body for a long time, the body will gradually become a vegetative person, and the consciousness of the body will gradually disperse.

So everyone on the Star Network was furious when they saw someone arresting a child. At this time, the amusement park manager came with the security guard, and the man who caught the little boy also found out that he had caught the wrong person and broke free and ran away with his accomplices.

Xiao Ai took the little chubby child to hide in the corner of the service desk, silently watching everything that had just happened. "When will the person you're waiting for come back?"

"I don't know, but he has my tracking signal and knows where I am."

"Okay, then you can stay with me, and we'll go to the lake when I get off work."

After getting off work, Xiao Ai took the little boy to a chair next to a bush of low willow trees by the lake.

"Sister, thank you."

"No, you don't." Xiao Ai didn't ask anything, and the feeling of being chased and killed when she was a child was dug out from the depths of distant memories again, which made Xiao Ai have a very unreal feeling.

"Don't be afraid."

"Hmm."

The two men sat in their seats and were silent.

"Ahem..."There was a slight coughing sound, and the little chubby boy turned his head and jumped up happily "Uncle"

A young man came up to them, pulled the little boy and said, "We're going to get out of here." And looked at Xiao Ai, "Thank you for helping to take care of my nephew." ”

"Is it safe for you to leave now? Are the people out there looking for you still there? ”

"Yes, so we need to hurry up."

"I'll be with you, you're too conspicuous with him." Xiao Ai said very calmly.

The young man was stunned, "That... Okay, please accompany us to the side of Yarrow Square. ”

The three of them pretended to be a traveling family, anyway, the star network could change its appearance, and it was impossible to see Xiao Ai's real age. The person who caught the little chubby boy probably didn't think that they would disguise themselves as a family of three, so they didn't care about such a combination at all.

The three of them came to a nondescript second-floor apartment on the corner of Yarrow Square, "Okay, it's safe to get to the apartment." ”

"I really want to thank you today."

"No thanks, it's fate that I met you." From beginning to end, Xiao Ai did not ask what caused the two to be followed, and the young man did not explain.

"Although we meet in the water, we can't repay your kindness to us. We may have to leave the star network for a long time, do you want this apartment, I will sell it to you, sorry, we are still quite short of money to give you away. ”

"What..."Xiao Ai was shocked, why should I buy an apartment on Xingwang, I haven't bought it in the real world.

"Ahem... This apartment is special. ”

In short, Xiao Ai bought this apartment, and the uncle and nephew left Xingwang that day and never contacted each other again. Xiao Ai paid all the Edith coins he had accumulated to this man, and the points were used to complete the transfer.

The apartment gave Xiao Ai an unprecedented sense of security. In the interstellar era, surveillance technology is developed, and everyone's personal terminal may be invaded at any time, and a small apartment that can avoid supervision at this time can bring enough security. After learning about the function of the safe house, Xiao Ai subconsciously felt that this safe house must be bought by herself.
