"Did you bring anything?"

As soon as Lin Qiu entered the door, there was an impatient inquiry from inside. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to the other party's prompts, he went back and forth in the huge campus for several circles before finally coming to this secret and remote room, and the door was opened by two big men in suits and leather shoes and sunglasses.

Sitting directly in front of him was a middle-aged man in his 40s, his elbows propped up on the coffee table in front of him, looking at him with anxious and burning eyes. This is also the first time Lin Qiu has met each other face-to-face, and in the previous cooperation, the man in front of him has always called himself "Z".

Lin Qiu put down his schoolbag, took out the pencil case, and took out a small and delicate chip from the compartment of the pencil case with ease, he carefully put the chip on the coffee table, and pushed it to Z - only a few people know that the information in this chip is worth 10 million.

"Very good, the deal works. ”

Z couldn't help but be overjoyed, he handed the chip to the young man standing behind him, nodded to him, and left through the back door with the chip. It wasn't until the young man's back disappeared behind the back door that Z's expression gradually soothed, and he groped out a bank card with gold trim from the pocket of his suit jacket and handed it to Lin Qiu.

"And if someone finds you?"

Lin Qiu replied: "I haven't seen you, let alone been here." ”

Z smiled with satisfaction: "Then, I hope we will have a chance to cooperate in the future." ”

In the scorching summer, it was noon, and when Lin Qiu came out of the building, the scorching sunlight pierced him so much that he didn't open his eyes for a long time, but his mood was extremely excited at the moment, and the sweat that kept coming out of his palms was stained on the bank card - this was a real 10 million, which was enough for him to completely get rid of the identity of a "hacker".

Since three years ago, the first week after he entered university, he had to accept various commissions in order to make a living. His family was not well-off, especially after his father was diagnosed with cancer, and almost all of the family's savings were spent on medical expenses. Of course, his statement to the family was that he had found a job as a tutor outside the home.

Because of the special nature of this job, he has seen a variety of strange commissions in the past three years, from the questions of the final exam, to the chat history of his girlfriend, or the content of a teacher's mailbox...... His highly efficient way of working has made him more and more famous on the Internet, and the commission is no longer limited to trivial things - three weeks ago, a person claiming to be Z contacted him online and made him an offer of 10 million.

Lin Qiu had never seen so much money in his life.

Back at the rental house, he half-reclined in his computer chair and kept spinning until he was a little dizzy. His books were piled up with all sorts of professional books, and he had never been in the habit of tidying up the countertops, which had been piling up here since he had brought them back, and most of them he had never opened once.

As if he had suddenly thought of something, he rummaged through the messy desk, which was already cluttered to the top of his desk, and he pushed a pile of books to the floor, and finally found a USB flash drive in the cover of a philosophy book. From a work ethic point of view, he felt that he should have deleted the backup immediately, but he couldn't overcome his curiosity and made a copy of the data.

He hesitated for a moment, but still plugged the USB flash drive into the computer.

Second World.

This is the title he accidentally glimpsed after he managed to break through the firewall at that time.

Lines of code kept flashing on his computer screen, and all that was left was a bunch of code that he didn't understand, except for the limited amount of text. In his contacts with him, there was no mention of the purpose or significance of this information.

After a while, Lin Qiu got bored, his mouse shook to the deleted position, he knew that as long as he clicked this button, he could draw a perfect end to this commission - even if he met Z, he would remain a stranger, he would not look at the other party more, and he was sure that Z thought the same way.

This is how hackers survive.

Lin Qiu silently counted three times in his heart and pressed the delete button, but this time the computer did not respond to him, he clicked a few more times in disbelief, and the screen was still unresponsive as if it had crashed. The next moment, the page he had just closed reappeared on the screen, a steady stream of unknown code tumbling through his computer.

"The Second World project was successfully launched. ”

It wasn't until the dark green code gradually slowed down that Lin Qiu realized that this was the starter of a certain program. Unsurprisingly, the mouse pointer soon reappeared on the screen, and after the screen flashed several times, a dialog box appeared in the center of the monitor.

"Congratulations, you're about to get a new lease on life!"

The still green number tumbled again, and his right hand holding the mouse suddenly emitted a violent electric current, and Lin Qiu, who was caught off guard, fainted on the spot.

When he woke up again, it was pitch black, and he seemed to be falling down the cliff, four pitch-black chains leading to the deepest part of the cliff. Lin Qiu felt a tingling pain in his head again, and before he could sort out his thoughts, everything in front of him suddenly twisted together again.

A moment later, he saw a city gate, still dark. Lin Qiu seemed to be in a dream, and not far in front of him stood thousands of people dressed in knightly costumes, wearing armor and looking solemnly at the sky. Lin Qiu subconsciously followed their line of sight, and he realized the reason for the dim light.

- At least as far as he knows, he'd never seen a monster like this.

Like a mountain covering the sky, its body floats in the air, and the most terrifying thing is its huge bloodshot eyes.

The monster let out a deafening roar, and the next moment, the entire city was torn into the air with the monster's roar, and the seemingly impregnable walls shattered almost instantly. At the front of the knightly troops, there stood an old man in a red robe, and under this strong traction, he stood still at all.

"Attack!"

The last sight Lin Qiu saw was the knights raising their swords in unison. Then, the world before him twisted together again, and after a few minutes of transformation, he reappeared in the dark space, and he was almost at the bottom.

Something seemed to be imprisoned in the deepest depths of the darkness, and he couldn't help but squint, wanting to look more closely. Soon, he saw a great black shadow crawling at the end of the darkness, where the four chains lead, and the shadow apparently noticed the rapid fall, and opened its large, bloodshot eyes.

And at the moment when his only remaining consciousness was about to be devoured, Lin Qiu seemed to hear a soft call.

- "Wake up...... Tyre Cyrius. ”
