Once, when we were mixed with supernatural beings, we played a supernatural treasure hunt game developed by the famous game company A, which was popular at that time. It is a detective reasoning-based game, the player plays a puzzle solver in a place full of mysteries, and gradually uses the various clues provided by the level to solve the mystery in various horror events with realistic graphics, which tests the player's reasoning ability and IQ.

I remember that the game had 99 levels, and the final prize was a ruby necklace known as a "holy relic", which was said to be worth a lot of money on forums and in groups. According to the necklace identification report provided by the company, the ruby came from the Mogok region of Myanmar, and the red color was bright and eye-catching, like the blood of a local pigeon's chest, which is the veritable "pigeon's blood red" ruby. And that necklace is claimed to be a "holy relic" of game company A, and getting it is like getting a game plug-in from the company.

At that time, there were a lot of people involved in the game, and the game level setting was very difficult, and after each level was passed, a hint of the next level would be given, but the clues of the tips were trivial and complicated, and the content display was also very vague, causing many people in the supernatural group to give up when they played, only me and the source have been insisting on playing. At that time, the two of us insisted not on the expensive necklace, but especially liked the process of reasoning and finding in the game, and the excitement brought by the horror event, and it was this same preference that made our friendship better and better.

It's a pity that when we reached the 60th level, we couldn't play it no matter how we tried to, and in the end we could only end up failing and gave up the game in a huff. I heard that no one had been playing the game at that time, and no one had seen the "holy relic" ruby necklace with their own eyes. Slowly, new games of the same kind emerged one after another, and there were more and more entertainment options for everyone, and the once popular supernatural treasure hunt game was gradually forgotten. If I hadn't seen the necklace with my own eyes now, I don't think I would have remembered playing that game.

"Well, yes, the blood-sucking mosquito said he kept playing that game and finally cleared the level and won the ruby necklace!"

Speaking of this, Yuan's beautiful big eyes seemed to suddenly lose their brilliance, her expression suddenly dimmed, a layer of sadness appeared on her face, and she stopped talking with her heart.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you happy? Back then, we put a lot of effort into winning this competition, and now that the mosquito has won back the necklace for you, why are you still not happy? Did he give the necklace to someone else? I asked, puzzled.

"Chi Ling, I'm a little afraid of seeing mosquitoes, and I always feel that he is a very paranoid person. Of course, you can also say that he is persistent, but the closer I get to him, the more I feel that he is really like a mosquito that sucks blood. I'm worried that if we don't fit each other, he'll do something extreme to come out! ”

Yuan's expression was solemn and serious, and it could be seen that she was very worried about this matter. Thinking that mosquitoes can insist on playing a game for so many years, and can always insist on organizing offline supernatural activities, I immediately understand how normal her worries are. People say that persistence is the mark of a successful person, but what if you stick in the wrong direction? Will life be as tragic as a mosquito sucking human blood and a moth fighting a fire?

"Do you think there's something wrong with him? Did he say or do anything that scared you? I asked.

"Mosquito has not had a serious job all these years, and his family will not agree to associate with him. I want him to find a normal job, even if it doesn't pay well. He is a computer science graduate from a prestigious school, and it is easy to find a job, not to mention that everyone is an adult, and he should know that those online Shinto Taoists can't be eaten, but he is very disgusted by this. The day before yesterday, Mosquito told me that in the past few years, their new version of the ghost doll's home website has made a lot of money, and as long as he insists on promoting some god worship for a while, he can make a lot of money, enough for our future lives. I always feel that those worship content is very uncomfortable, so I don't want Mosquito to participate in it anymore, and persuade him to quit as soon as possible. As a result, the mosquito turned out to be a different person, and I was arguing with me on the phone, which was really scary. ”

"Then do mosquitoes know about your arrival in the fog?"

"I told him that I would come this week, and I didn't say the specific time when I wanted to give a surprise, and I didn't reply to him after the quarrel, I was so upset that I didn't know what to do!"

I remembered the paranoid personality disorder that Mr. Bi said in his speech, which mostly begins in adolescence, and is characterized by persistent and fixed sensitivity and suspicion, stubbornness and pride, reluctance to accept the advice of others, and often misinterprets the unintentional, non-malicious or even friendly behavior of others as hostility or discrimination, or unfounded suspicion that it will be used or harmed, so it is overly vigilant and defensive against others. I don't know if the mosquito will be this kind of personality disorder, and before I can think of how to comfort her, I heard her speak again.

"Chi Ling, do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?"

"You can't believe it, you can't believe in it, you can't believe in ghosts and gods, but you can't disrespect the gods, these words are the group words we used to enter the group of spirits, have you forgotten? Why are you asking me this question again? What gods are mosquitoes worshipping? ”

Yuan just said that mosquitoes promote god worship, and I immediately thought that the students who had paid attention to the ghost puppet house had several accidents, and they all played the game of "pen fairy". Usually this kind of game is not fatal, it is just a kind of energy body exchange through the pen and the so-called "pen fairy", a variant or simplification of one of the oldest witchcraft in China, "Fu Ping".

The specific gameplay on the Internet is that two people staggered the back of their hands, a pen in the middle, the pen is perpendicular to the desktop, the hand is relaxed to gently grip the pen, and then whisper or silently recite some summoning words, and when the pen acts on its own, you can ask each other some questions you care about. There will be some taboos on the Internet, such as when you end the game, you must officially say goodbye to the "pen fairy", and you must not ask about the cause of its death.

But those students who had an accident have angered Shangguan Yun'er's undead because of this game, and I don't know if this has anything to do with the god worship of mosquitoes and their website. Seeing Yuan's state at the moment and the questions she raised, my heart fluttered, could it be that she also played the "pen fairy" game and provoked Shangguan Yun'er? It stands to reason that we, the old men, have played these games before, but no one has ever had an accident because of this, so why are we angry with the "pen fairy" now? Even the old man Yuan has to ask me the question of whether I believe in ghosts or not?

Seeing the concern on my face, Genmiya made a lot of determination, and finally opened his mouth and decided to tell himself something.
