Next Chapter

Yan Zhen pushed open the door of his roommate Lu Zhi and shouted his name loudly, but the latter was still unconsciously tapping on the keyboard quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This situation has been going on for a week, and Yan Zhen didn't care about it at first, because since Lu Zhi's novel signed a contract with the website and got a recommendation position, he had to spend a lot of time every day to code and save manuscripts.

But when Yan Zhen realized that something was wrong, Lu Zhi had completely fallen into a state of crazy codewords and couldn't extricate himself.

In the first few days, Lu Zhi would take a little time to drink water, eat, and go to the toilet, until the evening two days ago, Yan Zhen realized that Lu Zhi's situation was getting worse and worse, and he not only saved the time to sleep, but also saved the things that humans must do, such as eating and going to the toilet.

He tried to drag Lu Zhi away from the computer, but Lu Zhi was like suffering from code word hunger, and he would lose control of his mind if he didn't type for a second.

Yan Zhen had to dial the 120 emergency number, he was worried that if this continued, Lu Zhi would run out of energy and die suddenly in front of the computer.

Lu Zhi, who left the computer, attacked the people around him indiscriminately, and finally Yan Zhen helped a doctor and two nurses to restrain the crazy Lu Zhi, and asked the doctor to quickly inject him with a sedative.

Although Lu Zhi stopped attacking others, he still kept muttering, 'There's no time, let me finish writing...... Otherwise I'll ......'

Yan Zhen informed Lu Zhi's parents to come and take care of him, after all, he needed to go to work during the day, and Lu Zhi was not at ease when he was alone in the hospital.

In fact, Yan Zhen also published novels on the Internet when he was in college, but he was not diligent in updating and not many people read them, so he gave up later when he joined the work.

He has always admired those who can write more than 10,000 words a day, yes, those who write novels are not necessarily writers, in the rise of online literature, many authors who have written millions of words can only be called writers, not writers.

This line of work is undoubtedly hard, but a person should be encouraged to put in the effort for his hobby, of course, many writers write books for the purpose of supporting their families, no matter what, they are making money by their ability.

What Yan Zhen didn't understand was why Lu Zhi had become a codeword machine, and it was a machine that couldn't be stopped, and anyone could see that he was out of control.

Out of curiosity, on the second night of Lu Zhi's hospitalization, Yan Zhen turned on his computer, and all of Lu Zhi's accounts and passwords would be set to automatic login mode, so Yan Zhen didn't have much effort to log in to his account.

He was very concerned about what Lu Zhi wrote endlessly, and when he successfully logged in to the codeword software, a message popped up on the screen, it was a text message, Yan Zhen opened the text message and browsed the content, a single line of words, he was suddenly terrified!

The text message reads: Hello, because you did not complete the task within the specified time, the system will end your life in one hour!

The text message was sent exactly an hour ago, and Yan Zhen's hand holding the mouse was trembling slightly, when a passionate symphony suddenly sounded in the room.

It was the mobile phone ringing, the ringtone was preparefortheend (preparing for the end), Yan Zhen picked up the phone, and there was a middle-aged woman's voice:

"Hey, Xiao Yan, my Lu Lu ......"

The words were interrupted by a choked voice, Yan Zhen knew that this was Lu Zhi's mother, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Xiao Yan, I'm uncle, can you come to the hospital?"

A middle-aged man continued in place of a woman.

After that, as he had a hunch, Lu Zhi died, at the time when the text message was sent, which was also the time of death given by the doctor, and the diagnosis was heart failure.

Lu Zhi is a pure otaku, who works with the second dimension all day long, doing programs in the company during the day, and going home to write novels at night, he doesn't have many friends, plus Yan Zhen no more than five.

So his funeral was very simple, only a few relatives and friends, after the funeral, Lu Zhi's elementary school classmate Wei Xuechen found Yan Zhen, looking at his mysterious appearance, Yan Zhen wondered in his heart, in his impression, Wei Xuechen is a rectum, a big horn, and he is not happy if he doesn't shout in his heart.

When did you learn to hide and tuck?

Wei Xuechen led Yan Zhen to a book bar, where there were few people and quiet, and WIFI was also provided, Wei Xuechen deliberately chose a hidden location in the corner, and the atmosphere was like a spy connector.

Yan Zhen ordered a cup of green tea and couldn't help but say to Wei Xuechen: "If you have something, why are you so mysterious!" ”

Wei Xuechen was obviously worried, his face was pale, and his eyes were blue, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.

When he heard Yan Zhen's words, he smiled bitterly, lowered his voice and said, "What do you think...... Is Lu Zi's death normal? ”

Yan Zhen was asked inexplicably by him, and just wanted to ask him if there was anything abnormal, but suddenly thought of that strange text message, it was not that he was suspicious, it was too coincidental, so coincidental that it didn't look like a coincidence.

He saw that Wei Xuechen's expression was different, so he asked, "What do you know?" ”

Wei Xuechen held the cup in front of him, lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of fear, only to hear him say in a lower voice: "Lu Zi was killed by a mysterious force!" ”

Yan Zhen couldn't laugh or cry a little, he thought that Wei Xuechen knew the inside story of Lu Zhi's cause of death, but who expected him to be involved in supernatural powers.

In fact, Yan Zhen didn't think that Lu Zhi's death was an accident, he always felt that Lu Zhi was murdered, but he didn't know the murderer and the method of killing.

Seeing that Yan Zhen didn't believe it, Wei Xuechen's bloodshot eyes widened, and said, "It's true, Lu Zi was killed by 'Paradise'." ”

Yan Zhen didn't understand for a while, and asked, "What is paradise?" ”

When Wei Xuechen said these two words, as if the strength of the whole person had been drained, he shrank into the leather chair, looking a little lost.

He said: "Paradise is a software designed for online writers, and many writers are now using it to code words. ”

Taking a breath, he continued: "This software has been on the market for more than a year, it has a good reputation, and it is completely free, full of functions and stable, and I am still using it...... It's just that seven days ago, this software suddenly had an extra task function, and the tasks received by the writers are random, and the writers who receive the same tasks will form a competition mechanism, and those who do not complete the task or lose will be punished. ”

Yan Zhen thought back to Lu Zhi's recent performance, as well as the lack of time for his mouth when he was picked up by ambulance, and asked, "The mission was completed within a limited time?" ”

Wei Xuechen nodded and said, "Different tasks are given different completion times. The most severe punishment is death. ”

Yan Zhen hadn't heard such a ridiculous thing before, and said hurriedly: "Haven't you thought about calling the police?" This is no joke! ”

Wei Xuechen's expression seemed to be about to cry, he took out his mobile phone and clicked it a few times, and then put the screen in front of Yan Zhen's eyes.
