Chapter I
"Xiaochuan, what are you looking for me?" Zhou Rui asked on the phone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you free now...... I want you to see something. Bai Xiaochuan's voice was slightly hoarse.
As a friend for many years, Zhou Rui immediately heard that Bai Xiaochuan's state was not right, and he seemed to be suppressing some emotion.
"What's wrong, are you feeling unwell? I'll go to your house. Zhou Rui put down the report in his hand, asked the dean for a leave and went out.
Zhou Rui and Bai Xiaochuan grew up together in an orphanage since childhood, and the two have similar temperaments, and their feelings are deeper than ordinary brothers.
Zhou Rui is steady and thoughtful, and likes to do things after some careful consideration. Bai Xiaochuan is playful and adventurous, and his mind always feels like a wild imagination.
After graduating from college, Zhou Rui became a doctor, and Bai Xiaochuan became a game developer, although both of them were very busy with work, but their relationship did not fade, and they would get together every weekend to drink, play football, or watch a movie or something. However, Bai Xiaochuan has been a little strange recently, he is always bored at home on weekends and does not come out, Zhou Rui thought that he might be out of love, so he didn't bother him.
When he arrived at Bai Xiaochuan's house, Zhou Rui found that his face was pale and he looked depressed, which was not like a broken love, but as if he was frightened.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Bai Xiaochuan shook his head, "Don't ask, follow me." ”
He took Zhou Rui and walked towards the basement.
There were a lot of debris piled up in the basement, Bai Xiaochuan took Zhou Rui to bypass those debris, and a big black hole appeared in front of them.
"How can there be a hole here?" Zhou Rui asked curiously.
"I dug this hole." Bai Xiaochuan said.
"Are you alright, what are you doing digging a hole?" Zhou Rui glanced at Bai Xiaochuan, "You won't dig up anything underneath, will you?" ”
"It's really a dug up...... You'll find out when you go in and see it. Bai Xiaochuan picked up a wooden board from the side, with two ropes attached to it, and it looked like a homemade elevator.
The two entered the cave through a homemade elevator and did not hit the ground after about 5 minutes.
Zhou Rui felt a little uneasy in his heart, "It seems to be very deep." ”
"Well, it's about a hundred meters."
"Won't there be groundwater?"
"Probably not." Bai Xiaochuan replied.
Finally, with a clatter, the plank hit the ground. Zhou Rui glanced around with the light of the flashlight in Bai Xiaochuan's hand, it was empty, and there seemed to be nothing.
"What do you want me to see?" Zhou Rui asked strangely, and suddenly, he saw Bai Xiaochuan take out a sharp knife in his hand.
"What are you going to do!" Zhou Rui took half a step back.
"What are you thinking, even if I stab myself, I won't stab you." Bai Xiaochuan sighed, "Look at the ground." ”
Ground? What's on the ground?
Bai Xiaochuan knocked on the ground with a knife, but it was like knocking on the sea, and he didn't make any sound.
Then Bai Xiaochuan took a flashlight and shone it on the ground.
"This is ......" Zhou Rui found that this ground was really strange.
It stands to reason that when a flashlight shines on the ground, the ground will reflect and then the human eye can recognize the color of the ground. But at this time, the flashlight shone on the ground, and Zhou Rui could only see the pillar of light caused by the astigmatism of particles in the air, and the ground was still dark, as if all the light was swallowed by it.
"What is this plane? Alien spaceship? Zhou Rui asked. He tried to touch the ground, and it was very smooth, like glass.
"I suspect it's the borders of this world." Bai Xiaochuan said.
"What are you kidding?" Zhou Rui's first reaction when he heard this sentence was that Bai Xiaochuan was teasing him.
"You come with me." Bai Xiaochuan took Zhou Rui and walked to the right.
It turns out that there is also a horizontal passage here, could it be that Bai Xiaochuan dug it too?
"I've been digging here for a long time, maybe a hundred meters, but I can't get around the pitch-black barrier and continue digging down."
"So you suspect that this is the boundary of the world?"
"You know, I'm making games. The scene of the game is the game map. Normally, the game map has borders, for example, some games have a beach, although we can see the endless sea, but in fact, the sea restricts the character from moving forward. Because the game developers didn't plan to open up the ocean for players to explore freely. ”
"So you think our world is also a game? And the underground is not open for players to explore, so the boundaries are set? Zhou Rui reasoned according to Bai Xiaochuan's logic.
"Yes, this isn't the first time I've suspected that this world is a game world. You should know that when a person dies, he will leave a corpse, and the corpse will decompose, leaving bones. ”
"That's true." Zhou Rui nodded.
"But there's nothing there." Bai Xiaochuan said.
"What do you mean by that?"
"There's nothing in the dean's grave."
"You dug the dean's grave?" Zhou Rui looked at Bai Xiaochuan in disbelief.
"Not only the dean's, but I also dug a lot of graves in that burial cemetery, and there was nothing in it." Bai Xiaochuan said.
"You ......" Zhou Rui was shocked and angry.
"You should know what useless corpses mean to the game world. It's garbage. Since it's garbage, it will be cleaned up by the system, and when we make games, we usually set the time when the corpse is refreshed, that is, it's actually very simple to prove that this is a game, just kill a person, and then keep staring at him until his corpse is refreshed. Bai Xiaochuan looked at Zhou Rui.
"Who are you going to kill? Kill me? Or suicide? Or just find an innocent person to kill? Bai Xiaochuan, let me tell you, don't even think about it! Zhou Rui was rarely angry, but now he felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, whether it was due to the fear of the unknown that ignited the fire, or because of Bai Xiaochuan's madness, Zhou Rui himself did not know.
"Your reasoning is wonderful." A seductive female voice suddenly sounded in the passage.
"Who is it?" Bai Xiaochuan picked up the flashlight and shone it inside the passage.
This is a woman, a big beauty with a hot body, she has wavy black curly hair, and she wears a black leather coat that highlights her figure to the fullest.
However, how did she bypass Zhou Rui and Bai Xiaochuan and appear inside the passage?
"How did you get in?" Bai Xiaochuan looked at this big beauty coldly, and at the same time clenched the sharp knife in his hand.
"Hehe, actually, I've been here for a long time, but I haven't spoken." The fiery beauty smiled slightly, "You can call me Xinyue." ”
"Zhou Rui, the matter here can't be leaked out, we have to kill her." Bai Xiaochuan said calmly.
"Don't be impulsive, kill for your life."
"Kill her, then watch her body refresh and you'll understand everything." A dangerous red glow flashed in Bai Xiaochuan's eyes.
