"What? Go to your company? ”

"Yes, our company is about to recruit a new batch of game reviewers, and you can come for an interview." Sunny said seriously, "It's a completely virtual game, and it doesn't care who you really are. ”

Cheng Jiyun was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Are you inviting me?" Do you have so much power? ”

Sunny took a deep breath, "I don't have that much right to keep you, but I've decided to leave the company. ”

"Leave? Why? Cheng Jiyun stood up straight against the wall, "You're quitting?" ”

"Hmm." Sunny nodded, "I'm going to come back to reality too." ”

After speaking, she laughed bitterly again, and Cheng Jiyun looked at her smile and was silent.

"I can still recommend someone before I leave the company." Sunny looked at him.

"Oh." Cheng Jiyun's tone softened a little, "I'm not interested." ”

Sunny was disappointed by such an answer, but she was ready to accept it before she came.

The two men were relatively silent in the room for a moment, until the awkward atmosphere made them both feel uncomfortable, and Sunny stood up and prepared to go back.

"Then, I'll go."

"Wait."

didn't expect Cheng Jiyun to hold back, she turned her head and looked at him expectantly.

"You're still a member of Choose's staff, right?" Cheng Jiyun asked.

Sunny nodded.

"You sent me that bracelet, right?" Cheng Jiyun still wants to fight again.

Sunny raised his eyes and looked at him, "Yes. ”

Cheng Jiyun's heart suddenly beat violently: "How did you get it?" He almost wanted to grab her shoulder and ask clearly, "That bracelet should be on Shi Wei's hand, have you seen her?" ”

"I didn't." Sunny calmly replied, "I haven't met her, I found it somewhere else, it's similar to the one you found in the game, so I sent it to you." ”

"Really?" Cheng Jiyun controlled his temper that he might be about to explode.

"Yes." Sunny lowered his eyes, "If you were given hope and she's still there, would you stay here?" ”

Cheng Jiyun shook his head and laughed at himself in his heart: "How much do you know about me?" Have you been following me since I left? ”

He looked into Sunny's eyes, not allowing her to dodge or deceive, "Tell me." ”

"Yes, I have to keep an eye on you." Sunny replied, "You're the first person to be allowed here with a special status, and I have to be accountable to you. ”

"So, you know a lot about me?"

"Only partially." Sunny lowered his head.

"So, you know I go to the bar, you know that I have asked people on the fringes to find out about Shi Wei." Cheng Jiyun calmly recounted on the surface, "You know that I will get the news that she is dead, so you specially sent this to me?" ”

Sunny looked at him, his eyes glazed over, "Not exactly. ”

"What's that?" Cheng Jiyun looked at her, and for the first time such a cold look in his eyes, Sunny felt cold.

She bit her lip and gave herself a little determination.

"Tomorrow night, you can come to the company to find me."

"Huh?"

"I'll tell you what I know." Sunny looked at him earnestly, "I hope to win back a little bit of your trust." ”

Looking at Sunny like this, Cheng Jiyun was a little soft-hearted, and blinked a few times: "Okay, okay." ”

"Then I'll wait for you." The corners of Sunny's mouth twitched, he wanted to laugh but didn't, opened the door and left.

After she closed the door, Cheng Jiyun suddenly felt the impulse of her words, was she too unkind to a little girl.

That's it, I don't have to worry about it, my life is still a mess.

He went back to the bed and sat down, and there was still a job search sheet on the table, which was updated every day. Pick up the list and read it carefully, there is no recruitment information for Jasmine Restaurant.

With a long sigh, life is not easy.

Dumped on the bed, closed his eyes, it was pitch black, I didn't know what to think, there was nothing to think about, even if there were thousands of thoughts, they were all entwined ropes, I am afraid that I would not be able to open them in this life.

Suddenly, I felt that in the apocalyptic world, walking without a purpose is also a relief. I don't have any other thoughts, I don't care about food and clothing, I don't think about what I need to live, I just need to live, it's as simple as that.

"Those people didn't really stay here, but they didn't have the right to leave here, so they just stayed here."

"Those people?"

Lin Yan's voice sounded in his ears, in a conversation with him. They were still in the car, still driving on unknown roads.

"Hmm. Many people who stay here are not qualified to leave, they are like becoming one with this place, and they can only live here. ”

"Why?" Cheng Jiyun looked at his side face, "It's just a virtual world. ”

"Yes, virtual, but also realistic." Lin Yan looked ahead, "Perhaps, we all want to go back to the original place, but after isolating this city, we will never be able to go back to the original place." ”

"What's going on in the outside world?"

"Nobody knows." Lin Yan glanced at Cheng Jiyun, "However, some people say that it is really the end of the world. ”

"......" Cheng Jiyun didn't know how to answer, "What about you?" Just want to stay in the past? ”

"Me?" Lin Yan rubbed his forehead, "I also thought about escaping, but now I feel that the outside world is not what I want, maybe it would be better to get used to aimlessness here." ”

Maybe before, Cheng Jiyun would immediately scold him, but now, he feels the same way.

"It feels very sad, but I can't resist it." Cheng Jiyun laughed, "It seems that poisonous chicken soup is always better." ”

"And what are you going to do next?"

"What's next?" Cheng Jiyun didn't have time to think, "I don't know, and I don't have a goal." ”

"So...... Will you come back? ”

"Come back?" Cheng Jiyun looked at the infinitely extended highway in front of him, and felt that he was moving forward, but in fact, he was still going in circles, repeating the cycle......

"Will I go back?" Cheng Jiyun asked herself, but she woke herself up from her sleep.

When I opened my eyes, the sun was still shining outside.

Cheng Jiyun just felt tired, sat up on the bed, took out the bracelet from under the pillow, and felt that there was still the fragrance of Shi Wei's body.

……

In the evening, Cheng Jiyun came to the gate of Choose, and in the night, the white building was still bright with lights.

Only this time, no one stopped at the door, and no robot came to greet him, and he entered the hall like this.

"You're here?" Sunny sat where he had rested before, waiting for him.

"No one?" Cheng Jiyun asked.

"Yes." Sunny replied, getting up from his chair, "It's all gone." ”

Cheng Jiyun was puzzled, does no one work overtime in such a big company?

"You don't have to doubt it." Sunny smiled, recognizing his concerns, "A lot of maintenance work is controlled by machines at all times, which greatly reduces manpower, so no one is normal. ”

"Okay." Cheng Jiyun replied, "It's because I haven't seen the world, and I don't know how high tech has come now." ”

"Actually, no matter how technology develops, it's all the same, it's still people running, isn't it?"

"I don't understand, don't comment." Cheng Jiyun changed the topic, "I only care, what can you tell me if you call me now." ”

"Come with me." Sunny takes him to the elevator and heads his way up.

Cheng Jiyun couldn't help but be a little nervous: "That, you let me in, didn't all those surveillances be filmed?" ”

Sunny glanced at him, "Are you scared?" ”

"Afraid of what?" Cheng Jiyun naturally didn't admit it.

"The last time you entered the basement alone, you have already recorded the whole process, are you afraid of the next time?" Sunny said this on purpose.

Cheng Jiyun was stunned: "The whole process is recorded? So why didn't anyone arrest me? ”

"Why did you arrest you?" Sunny was calm, "There's nothing to steal here, and you can't take the valuable equipment with you." ”

"That'...... Trade secrets, not afraid of leakage? ”

"All information is encrypted, only those with permission can see it, and what can be found is also insignificant."

"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun suddenly had a little disappointment, "Then what can you tell me?" ”

"Since I called you, I naturally won't let you down." Sunny looked at him, "My clearance will expire at midnight tonight, I just want to use the last period of time to help you." ”

Cheng Jiyun looked at her and suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him was much more mature than he imagined.

"I didn't mean to......" Cheng Jiyun said softly, "I know that the words I said to you before are a little ugly......"

"I don't think so." Sunny suddenly smiled at him, "I think you've always been a real person, so, I can take it." ”

The words "......" made Cheng Jiyun even more uneasy, "Okay." ”

The elevator doors opened, and this time I arrived on a different floor, with a different layout than before. Inside the glass door on one side is a neat desk and chair, and on the other side is a semi-enclosed office environment, which looks like a normal company.

Sunny pressed his fingerprint, opened the glass door, and then entered the office with Cheng Jiyun.

"This is where you work?" Cheng Jiyun asked curiously.

"Yes." Sunny went to a desk, pulled open a drawer, and pulled out a card.

Cheng Jiyun looked here, the neat layout, in front of each table, there was a white keyboard, which was very similar to what he saw in the store.

"Is this computer automatically projected?" He asked, gesturing.

"Yes." Sunny took the card and was about to leave here, but Cheng Jiyun was still looking, "Let's go, there's nothing to see." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun came back to his senses and found that he had become the one who was to be urged.

Sunny led him to an office door, swiped his card, and the door opened. Then she typed a password into one wall and lit the office light.

This office looks different, with a single table and a guest sofa, so it should be a management-level person.

"What is this?"

"This is the manager's office." Sunny replied, then walked over to the table and sat down, expertly turning on the computer, "Only his computer can query some detailed data, we don't have permission." ”

Cheng Jiyun came behind her and watched her operate on the computer, as if she was very familiar with these things, and she knew all the login passwords and verifications.

"How do you ...... So familiar? Compared with Sunny's calmness, Cheng Jiyun was a little panicked. From time to time, I look up to see if there is surveillance here, and I am watching them.

"Rest assured, there's no monitoring here." Sunny replied without raising his head, "Mr. Kang doesn't like this, so there is no robot secretary in front of his office." ”

Sunny quickly opened the company's internal page and typed the name "Shi Wei" into the search bar.

The page immediately popped up her basic information, and a photo of her on it was brought into view, so clear and familiar, Cheng Jiyun excitedly pressed her hand on the table: "It's her!" ”

Cheng Jiyun stared intently at the screen, which recorded Shi Wei's basic information and daily behavior tracking. Sunny pulls to the end, but the display is "dead".

"What does this mean?" The three words in front of him were particularly shocking, and Cheng Jiyun only felt that all the nerves in his body were already tense.

"You look at the time on it." "It's been more than eight years. ”

"Eight years?" Cheng Jiyun gasped, "Does this mean, has she been dead for eight years?" ”

"Yes." Sunny replied, "The system information shouldn't be wrong. ”

"Impossible...... Cheng Jiyun still can't accept such a reality, "Does this have to be accurate?" ”

Sunny glanced at Cheng Jiyun, who was in shock, and replied calmly: "Shi Wei is the property of the company, and such tracking information will not be wrong." ”

"Corporate?" Cheng Jiyun frowned, touching his swollen head, he needed to adjust it well, "Is she really a clone?" ”

Sunny carefully reviewed her information, which clearly stated her nurturing and development.

"Yes."

Cheng Jiyun took a few steps back, already at a loss. Compared with the information of the "clone", he cares more about Shi Wei's "death". In his subconscious, he never thought that Shi Wei would die for no reason.

Sunny was still looking up something on the computer, and after knowing that she had flipped through many pages, she said to Cheng Jiyun, "I checked, and the cloned information on her batch is dead. ”

Cheng Jiyun changed his breath several times to calm himself down.

"I heard that they went out hiking together and had an accident, could it be these people?"

"Possibly." Sunny was still looking up in front of the computer, "There's an experiment plan in place called 'S'. ”

"Plan S?" Cheng Jiyun's mind was even more confused, "What the hell? ”

"I don't know, but they're all in the plan." Sunny motioned for Cheng Jiyun to come over and take a look, there was "S" plan written in black on a white background, and the S on the shading were so familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere......

"What is this plan? Can it be opened? Cheng Jiyun hurriedly asked.

"No, I've tried many times, but I can't open it, it's already encrypted." Sunny replied, "Also, it's not Mr. Kang's permission to view it. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun felt very strange.

Suddenly, Sunny's phone vibrates, and she senses something, and immediately closes all windows, cleans up the traces, and closes the computer.

"Someone's coming, let's go."
