Early the next morning, Radish happily came to the door of Chen Xizhou's house and invited him to go back to the company together.

"Are you leaving?"

Chen Xizhou shook his head: "I'm asking for leave." ”

"What?" Radish looked at him unexpectedly, "You haven't been out in days, why don't you want to go to work?" Aren't you bored at home? ”

"I still have some things to deal with." Chen Xizhou looked preoccupied, "You go." ”

Radish glanced at Chen Xizhou several times to determine if there was anything wrong with this guy, and it was not until Chen Xizhou impatiently urged him to go to work quickly, and Radish did not leave.

Chen Xizhou returned to the table and clearly remembered the string of numbers in the email. Be prepared to try your luck at a place and meet the people you want to meet if you can.

In the morning, the streets are still deserted, except for the sparse crowds of people who go to work.

In this city, there are already many people who have been screened and rated, and those who can stay are indifferent and self-disciplined. However, there will always be people wearing masks, all in the shadows, so that people can't detect their whereabouts and have no idea what they are doing.

For example, the marginal people of the speakeasy.

Chen Xizhou was walking on the way to the time machine bar, when a gust of wind hit, and he felt a little cold. Chen Xizhou wrapped his coat tightly and looked up at space, the originally blue sky was a little gray.

Is it about to start changing?

But people who are in a hurry don't care so much, they only care about themselves.

Finally, arrive at the door of the bar. The bar is quiet, and the ground tremors that you can feel when you stand outside the door in the past are so peaceful during the day, and the aging of the building makes it look like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life, stubbornly standing on the street.

Chen Xizhou pushed open the door, and in the dark room, only a few faint lights guided him. The door closed automatically, leaving only darkness. After his eyes became familiar with this vision, he realized that there seemed to be no one here.

Chen Xizhou had just taken a few steps forward when he heard the crisp sound of the glass "ding", drawing his attention from the front back to the corner.

"You know what? I've been in this bar for more than ten years, and I have a lot of feelings. In the corner, Mu San was holding a wine glass, lying bored on the sofa, "I used to think about what I would do if I had money." Well...... Maybe I'll buy this bar and only serve people who can see it. ”

Chen Xizhou was not very interested in his words, he walked straight to Mu San and sat down.

"However, all people grow old, and everything will be destroyed one day......" Kizo continued, as if immersed in his own world, "If you could only choose one thing to take away, what would you choose?" ”

Mu San finally put down his wine glass and looked at Chen Xizhou.

Chen Xizhou took out a tissue on the table, and then used the pen he carried with him to write down the string of numbers: "Do you know this number?" ”

Mu San glanced at it roughly: "What do you want me to know?" ”

"This is the number in the email, it has been sent to me for a long time, and it is the same number every time, what does it mean?" Chen Xizhou said, "I have a hunch that you sent me this email. ”

"Huh." Mu San chuckled softly, "Do you have any evidence?" ”

"I didn't." Chen Xizhou really didn't, but it didn't hinder his guess, "However, the way to enter here, I think it was arranged by you." ”

"Haha." Mu San laughed twice this time, picked up the wine and wanted to pour some for Chen Xizhou. Chen Xizhou didn't have time to refuse, he had to repeat everything that came to mind first, otherwise it would be chaotic again.

"In the night club, your behavior is the most suspicious." Chen Xizhou stated, "I'm also a game evaluator, I have analytical skills, you don't go there for money, why else?" ”

Kizo listened to him with a smile.

"When I went in, you were the only one who took the initiative to talk to me, and you won a lot of money for me." Chen Xizhou thought for a while, "Also, your account is logged in with a different account every time, right?" Why cover yourself? And that friend of yours, Shi Wei. I accompanied Cheng Jiyun to find her, and you said that she was dead, which made Cheng Jiyun die, but she appeared, and you are still with her, why? ”

Mu San was not surprised at all in the face of Chen Xizhou's brain problem, but his posture was more relaxed. He picked up his wine glass and touched Chen Xizhou's, and the sound of "ding" was heard very clearly in the quiet bar.

"First of all, I didn't tell Cheng Jiyun what happened to Shi Wei, at most he thought he was dead." Mu San replied lightly, "What's more, he's fine now." ”

"He's now?" Chen Xizhou was stunned, "Do you know where Cheng Jiyun is?" ”

Mu San smiled and said, "He's not here, it must be outside the city, this is obvious." ”

"Then ......" Chen Xizhou just wanted to continue asking, but after thinking about it, the guy in front of him was likely to deliberately lead him astray, so he continued his question, "There is a mobile phone in the club, you kept it, right?" ”

Mu San shook his head: "This kind of thing, no one can bring it in, why do you rely on me?" ”

"I know that no one can bring a real-life phone to the virtual world." Chen Xizhou became serious, "However, you can edit a mobile phone and exist in the virtual world. ”

Mu San's hand holding the wine glass paused, and then simply put down the glass: "Interesting, continue." ”

"Since you can log in with different accounts every time, you must be familiar with the vulnerabilities of the company's network, and you just took advantage of this and changed some changes at will." Although Chen Xizhou was speculating, he said it confidently, "For example, if you edit a mobile phone and hide it in a drawer, ordinary people will never pay attention to it and will not find it." Right? ”

"Hmm......" Kisan pretended to listen carefully and nodded approvingly, "It makes sense." ”

"I don't know what kind of person you are and why you found me, but I'm not stupid, I'll come to find out." Chen Xizhou looked at Mu San, his eyes were firm and confident, "You helped me win a sum of money, and then Shi Wei told me about Yuki's current situation, this is a trick you set for me, right?" ”

"You can't say that." Mu San pursed his lips, "This person, it's what you like, not what I like, I said it, I just want to help you, I've done my part, if you don't appreciate it, then I can't help it." ”

"Did you give me this money to save her?" Chen Xizhou leaned forward and asked.

"So what?" Mu San took a sip of wine, "I just said, if all this you are in is about to face a collapse, what will you take with you?" Or is it just on your own? ”

"What do you mean?" Mu San's topic seems to have returned to the original point, this topic that Chen Xizhou didn't pay attention to originally, is there something in the words?

"Have you been in?" Mu San tapped the paper towel on the table, and the numbers on the white paper towel were clearly visible.

"Go...... Been there. Chen Xizhou replied.

"What did you find?"

"Deserts, sandstorms, and giant animals...... Anyway, it's not good. Chen Xizhou replied.

"Hmm." Kizo nodded, "If the city barrier is damaged, soon, we will enter such a world." ”

Chen Xizhou was shocked, and looked at Mu San with a determined face.

"Is the world I entered real?" Chen Xizhou was worried.

"Of course."

"Impossible, right?" Chen Xizhou still couldn't believe it, "Can I enter the real world through the virtual world?" ”

"Why not?" Mu San crooked his mouth and smiled, "It's just that there, you have become a virtual image." ”

"Huh?" Chen Xizhou was stunned for a moment, and he needed to think about the woman he met at that time, and the ...... Could it be just to remind him that he was just a virtual person there, and then returned to the upper world unscathed?

"Of course, you can take reservations about what I say." Mu San said, "However, you are not stupid, you can notice the changes here. ”

"Change?" Chen Xizhou thought for a moment, "Which ones do you say?" ”

"Ask your friend, how is the company doing?" Kizo suddenly proposed.

"What?" Chen Xizhou frowned, what does Mu San know?

"Just ask, don't you have a very good friend in the company who often misses you in pieces?"

"You know all about this?"

"To understand you, of course, you have to know more comprehensively." After Mu San finished speaking, he smiled.

"What do you mean? Have you been investigating me for a long time? Chen Xizhou suddenly felt a chill in his back.

"To become a partner, of course, you have to look at it comprehensively." Mu San smiled and said, "Otherwise, how would I know if you are reliable?" ”

"So what are you going to do?" Chen Xizhou suddenly thought about it and was extremely frightened, today's arrival is like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

"I don't do anything." Mu San stretched out his hands, "Save others and save yourself, just to live." ”

Mu San picked up the wine glass and touched it on Chen Xizhou's cup: "Come, take a sip." ”

"I don't have the heart to do that."

"Huh." Mu San smiled, "Don't ask yet?" There will be more unexpected things. ”

Chen Xizhou hesitated, touched the mobile phone in his pocket, and after thinking about it, decided to give it a try.

So he sent a message to the radish: "Is the company's data loss incident over?" ”

As soon as I finished sending it, I immediately received a text message from Radishes: "Withdraw quickly!" ”

Chen Xizhou was stunned and hurriedly withdrew: "What's wrong?" ”

It didn't take long for Radish to call him: "You kid sent me a message like this on your phone, you want to kill me!" ”

The voice on the other end of the radish was nervous and fast, coupled with the empty echo, he should have hid in a corner and secretly called Chen Xizhou.

"When I was asked about the investigation, one of the people told me that everything was back to normal in the company, so I wanted to ask if that was the case."

I only heard Radish sigh on the other end of the phone: "How can it be that simple." It is said that if we want to let you back, it is also because many game data will be changed or even deleted, and we may face a change of guard. ”

"Huh?" Chen Xizhou also panicked, "The game is going to be taken off the shelves?" ”

"Not only that, there are many things to change, and now many people are making up for the gap after the data loss, so no one knows the future development of the company."

Hearing this, Chen Xizhou felt that his mind was blank, and it was not easy to use.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing ......"

"Wait until I get back!"

"Okay, okay."

Chen Xizhou hung up the phone, his face was obviously not good-looking, but Mu San on the other side was still squinting calmly.

"Did you do it?" Chen Xizhou's tone has changed, and he is no longer as aggressive as before.

"Of course not me." Mu San shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have such a great ability to compete with a company, I'm just a middleman, and it's easier to see through than ordinary people." ”

With that, he laughed again.

"I don't think there's anything funny." Chen Xizhou was a little sad, "If the company collapses, what will happen, have you thought about it?" ”

Mu San put away his smile: "Of course I thought about it, it's a big deal to go to the kind of world you have been to." ”

"But there are still a lot of people living here."

"You're right." Mu San waved his hand, "Among so many people, there are many people who have not faced such a life. For example, you. When this barrier is opened, how many people do you think can withstand it? ”

Chen Xizhou naturally didn't dare to imagine it, and suddenly became angry: "Then why destroy it? ”

Mu San smiled: "I said, it's not something I can control, let alone something I destroy, I'm just a person who sees more than others." ”

Chen Xizhou didn't speak, but his emotions were written on his face.

"So, I'll give priority to my buddies and prepare in advance, maybe everyone can help each other and get a glimmer of life, right?" Mu San said, but he was a little unbelievable.

"I don't know how much of what you're saying is true and how much is false." Chen Xizhou calmed down, "Now I just want to know if such a crisis will really happen?" ”

"I've said it all, don't you believe me?" Mu San shook the wine in his glass.

Chen Xizhou was silent for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "There is a countdown on the email, what does it mean?" ”

"Do you want me to tell you this?"

Looking at Mu San's evil smile, Chen Xizhou certainly understood: "That means there is not much time left?" ”

"I don't need to say anything more about this, do I?" Kizo took a sip of wine, "Aren't you going to make any preparations before it is broken?" ”

"Ready?" Only then did Chen Xizhou realize something: Yuki!

He "rubbed" the ground and got up from his chair, if Yuki was lying in GL's hospital, then how would she face the change? After the collapse of the city, even their communication can be a hindrance.

"Prepare in advance, for you and what you want, you have to fight for the last time, right?" Mu San raised his glass, made a toast gesture, and then drank it all to himself.

Is it too late to prepare? Chen Xizhou's heart was full of contradictions.

He didn't know what he was going to face, and how much of this person's nonsense was true or false?
