In the central square of a residential area, many children play together, looking like they are in the first and second grades of primary school, the oldest is not more than the fourth grade, five or six little boys are playing football, one person is the goalkeeper, whoever keeps the ball can be replaced by a person to be the goalkeeper, everyone does not want to be a goalkeeper, so everyone is desperately guarding the door, for the children, such outdoor activities are not enough to play all afternoon.

One of these children is a second-grade boy named Tengteng, he is the most playful and curious of the boys, and he is also the most naughty and bold one, he is very hard at goalkeeping or playing football, football is what he provides, noon meal time is coming, everyone goes back to eat, Tengteng is no exception, but Tengteng doesn't want to eat at all, just afraid that his mother will beat him, he reluctantly went home and ate two bites of food, and after eating two bites, he went downstairs with the ball.

Teng Teng's mother could only scold a few words in pain when she saw this, Teng Teng arrived in the central square and found that she had come early, there was no one, and she was bored with a person who kicked the ball around, the more she kicked the ball around, the more she kicked it, the last kick was too strong, and she kicked it crookedly, and kicked it on the fitness equipment around the square, and it was shot away, and it bounced far away, Teng Teng could only run to chase his own football, and the football rolled to the back of another building, and there were several above-ground garages on the north side of this building, that is, the storage room, and someone rented him out as a small door, It was rented out to migrant workers, and the Teng Teng Ball was right in front of one of the rooms.

Teng Teng ran over and picked up the football, and glanced to the left, there is a room on the left with a glass door, two rooms next to it, one is a warehouse that is purely unused, and the other is a key store that is often unused, Teng Teng looked inside, as if it was playing cartoons inside, which attracted Teng Teng's attention, I believe everyone has had a similar experience, even if it is the same thing in their own home, when they appear in a strange environment, they will regain a certain interest in this thing, Teng Teng is no exception, although I didn't see what cartoon it was, But curiosity was aroused, so I walked over and planned to get closer to take a look, and when I stepped forward, I found that it was not a cartoon, but a game console, but I couldn't see the specific situation inside, and I could only see the picture on TV.

Teng Teng stared at it for more than ten minutes, until there was a shout from the community square, Teng Teng stopped watching, turned his head and ran to the square, saw two friends who played football together in the morning, and told his friend that someone was playing a game, it looked very fun, and he didn't want to play football, but his friend didn't buy it, and wanted to play football, Teng Teng threw the ball down for them to play, and he ran to watch the game again, the game screen was still running, Teng Teng looked very devoted, as if he was playing, and slowly began to speak: "Be careful behind, hit him." , Kombat, go down, there's a trap on top. ”

Tengteng is very devoted, follow the game inside the picture to appear the game is over, it's a pity that you will be disappointed to stomp your feet and pat your thighs, half an hour later, your friends have come out to play football, Tengteng is still watching the game, time flies quickly, At 5.30 in the afternoon, my friends were tired, and I wanted to go home to eat and watch TV, but Teng Teng was still watching, Teng Teng's friends came to return the football to him, Teng Teng watched the sky a little dark, afraid of being scolded by his mother reluctantly went home, ate a few bites of food, sat for a while, TV didn't have the heart to watch, to 7.20 said that he wanted to go down to play football, his mother naturally disagreed, and he was going to sleep for a while, what kind of football to play.

After a while at home, I promised my mother to come back before 8.00, and I went out with the football, Teng Teng naturally did not play football, but went to watch the game, this time it was different from before, the game screen has been waiting to join the interface, Teng Teng was a little anxious to see a little more clearly, stood on tiptoe, put his forehead on the glass, and pushed forward a little harder, the door opened suddenly, Teng Teng fell, Teng Teng fell to the ground, saw the football bounce up in front of his eyes, slowly rolled to the TV, and then fainted.

When I opened my eyes and woke up, Teng Teng himself became a character in the game, and it was pitch black around him, only four white English letters were suspended in the air in front of his eyes, as if he was waiting for himself to press, these four letters were P L A Y ! Teng Teng stretched out his right hand and patted it, and then the surrounding scenery rotated rapidly, transformed, Teng Teng's feet also rotated like a turntable, Teng Teng did not stand firm and fell, after the rotation stopped, the surrounding scenery became rich, no longer pitch black, there were trees and grass, and there were all kinds of strange buildings, why are they all so familiar?

The huge sound of music sounded in the sky above, knock, the scenery behind Tengteng gradually collapsed and fell into the bottomless black hole, Tengteng ran forward out of instinct, ran for a while, there were all kinds of strange people appeared, some had thorns on their bodies, some held weapons, Tengteng ran and hidden, and finally because he didn't eat much, his strength gradually ran out, and he began to stop slowly, but the collapse behind continued, and finally Tengteng fell into a black hole, falling with the collapse of the scenery.

There was a hazy fog everywhere, and he vaguely heard someone calling his name, Teng Teng began to be anxious, no matter how hard he tried to respond, but it was always fruitless, and whatever he said would turn into gas and disappear, Teng Teng cried out, shed tears and shouted: "I don't play anymore." Then it went dark and he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Teng Teng was woken up by his mother, and there were still his father and his friends standing next to him, and some adults, his mother's face was full of tears, Teng Teng looked at his mother and didn't know what to say, why was it so dark? What time is it? Teng Teng's heart sent these questions, and looked around again, there were police around, the police were all in the house where there was a game, it seemed that they were investigating something, Teng Teng turned his head to look at his mother and said, "Mom, what are those police uncles doing?" Tengteng's mother wiped away her tears and said, "I'll tell you when we get home, you tell me first how you fainted there?" ”

Teng Teng scratched his head and thought about it for a while: "I saw someone playing a game, so I lay at the door and watched for a while, and when I saw it, I wanted to know who was playing inside, so I moved forward, and this time I fell, and then I had a strange dream, and then I woke up." The adults around slowly dispersed, Teng Teng followed his parents back home, before going to bed Teng Teng asked what happened, Teng Teng's mother let him sleep first, and then tell him when he woke up, Teng Teng hummed, after a while Dad came in, Dad sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Teng Teng and said, "How can you faint inside?" You tell me the truth, I won't tell your mother. Teng Teng thought for a moment and told it from beginning to end, but he only remembered that it was a strange dream, and he couldn't remember the specific details. Tengteng's father nodded and let him have a good rest, turned off the lights, and left the room.

The next day, Teng Teng's father took Teng Teng to find his good friend, who is the city's leading psychologist, and the psychologist hypnotized Teng Teng, so that he told all the dreams, Teng Teng's father was a little shocked next to him, thinking about whether this was a dream or something? The psychologist chatted with Teng Teng's father alone for a while, and told Teng Teng's father that if people pay high attention to one thing, and then flash back and forth by some solid colors, plus music with special tone frequencies, it will make people feel uncomfortable, especially children are more fragile and easily affected, but because Teng Teng's situation is special, he dare not make a conclusion easily, and because he has not seen the game screen said in Teng Teng's mouth, he does not dare to conclude whether Teng Teng's fainting has anything to do with it.

Teng Teng woke up and left with his father, when he returned to his own community, Teng Teng unconsciously walked to the door of the game house, Teng Teng walked in the direction of the game house, Teng Teng's father grabbed him, and said in a questioning and vigilant tone: "What are you going to do?" Teng Teng said, "My ball is still inside." Tenten's dad stopped him and told him that the police uncle didn't find the ball.

Teng Teng had a question, asking himself why his father and uncle were here? Teng Teng's father said that he would tell him later, let him go home with him, Teng Teng was reluctant to give up his ball, he had to go up to find it, but the glass door was locked, and there was no ball inside, Teng Teng's father pulled Teng Teng home, when the two of them just turned to leave, the TV flashed inside, and the TV printed out the figures of Teng Teng and his father, and a man sitting on the ground holding a game console, and then there were snowflakes, and then there was a game screen that Teng Teng saw that day, but the picture was very unstable and kept jumping.

Teng Teng's parents have been hiding from him, in fact, after Teng Teng fainted, his parents saw that the time was slowly passing, and began to be anxious, so they came out and began to look for it, shouting around, asked the surrounding residents and several families who often play together, and the children of a family told Teng Teng's mother that he might have gone to see the game, and then took Teng Teng's parents to look for it, and when he walked to the front of the room, he saw Teng Teng lying inside, let his parents and friends shout, Teng Teng still had no response, and the door could not be opened, During this period, Tengteng's father called the police for assistance, and the police soon came to the scene to find the property, but did not open the door, and then found a special locksmith or not, Tengteng's mother was about to collapse, and went to hit the door with tears, and slapped the glass door with her hand, and at this time the door suddenly clicked open.

Tengteng's mother went in and hugged her son and cried loudly, holding Tengteng in her arms, Dad went in and looked to the left, almost screamed in fright, there was a man sitting on the sofa, his head lying on the top of the sofa, his mouth was open and his eyes were open, he looked a little terrifying, it looked like he was dead, the police came in and looked at the man, made sure that the person was dead, let Tengteng's mother go out with the child, let everyone out, and blocked the scene.

Later, it was confirmed that the man had died, the time of death was more than 24 hours, he was a migrant worker, he usually loved games, half a month ago the boss company was not doing well and went out of business, he didn't have a girlfriend, he usually didn't like to talk, he loved to play games, he had little contact with his family, and he would be scolded by his mother every time he contacted him, although he knew that his mother cared about him, but every time he was looking for a girlfriend, the topic of marriage made the man very disgusted, and he confirmed that he had a phone call with his mother before he died. This time, I was also blamed by my mother for a few words, and the cause of death was a sudden death from not exercising for a long time, and playing games all night day and night.

Tengteng's mother didn't want to scare Tengteng so she didn't tell Tengteng the truth, Tengteng's father was the same, but because of this, Tengteng would not care about it, the next day Tengteng slipped over on the way home from school and looked at it, football was indeed not, Tengteng walked home with disappointment, walked two steps and suddenly wanted to be sure, and went back to take a look, this time I saw that the TV screen was on, and I started playing the game again, there was one more ball in the picture in the game, the ball, it was Tengteng...

Teng Teng went home and told his parents, his mother scolded Teng Teng, his father muttered in his heart next to him, and the next day he found his psychologist friend, and the friend confirmed that Teng Teng said the truth after hypnosis, at this time the friend said to Teng Teng's father: "Some words, I know it shouldn't be said by people like me, but I don't think it's a simple case, you know, how many criminals do people like me usually receive, rich people, people with excessive mental pressure, etc., But there are some people who are really not explained by science, and when this kind of thing happens, I will suggest that the police find someone who is specifically responsible for this aspect to be responsible, and I have also known one or two because of my long-term cooperation with the police, you know what I say, right? I know it might be hard to accept, but I think you can give it a try. ”

Tengteng's father began to be nervous, his hand trembled and lit a cigarette, looking at his friend and nodded, Tengteng's father found a man under the introduction of his friend, the man looked more than 50, Tengteng's father expressed his intentions, the man asked to go to the scene to see, after going to the scene, the man closed his eyes and took a deep breath, after a while, the man opened his eyes and sighed, turned his head to look at Tengteng's father and said: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, I will solve it, this is also a poor person, he was reprimanded by his mother before he died." , I lost my job, I don't have a friend, a partner or something, I can only play games to vent, poor, this young man doesn't know that he is dead, he thinks he is playing a game, he thinks he is playing a game in a dream, your child is a child, he is not strong-willed, so he will be disturbed, faint and hallucinate, he wants a friend very much, he treats your child as a friend, wants to play games with him, but does not know that he has left this world, when your wife comes to look for the child, He thinks that your wife wants to take away the friend he just met, a strong desire to protect, and the resentment left behind before his death has formed a force, so that you can't open the door, and then because your child chooses to quit and stop playing, your wife's strong family affection for parents at the same time makes this poor poor man soften, and gives up, chooses to return the child to you, and goes alone, he still thinks that he is not dead, and he is still playing games in that room, I will deal with it, you can rest assured, let's go. ”

After Teng Teng's father thanked him a thousand times, he took out the money to give it to the man, and the man retreated, telling him to buy some dead people's supplies, which would be used in a few days, and on the fourth day, Teng Teng's father met with the man again, and the man took him to the front of the room, and after leaving the things, he let Teng Teng's father go.

After that day, the TV in that house never came on again, the landlord came back a month later and cleaned up the house, used it as an ordinary storeroom, not renting it to anyone, Teng Teng's father bought Teng Teng a new football, but it didn't matter, because Teng Teng was not so fun-loving, and became obedient, I don't know if this experience scared him, or if it changed with age, as for the poor man who died, his family came to the city and took "him" home.
