It's dark at night.
The university dormitory, a modest six-story rental house, has a few outdated game posters plastered on the yellowed walls.
A bed, a desk, and a large wardrobe with white paint and blue edges occupy almost all of the space in the room.
Tang Xuan sat at his desk, opened the laptop that had been with him for more than two years, and after clicking on a document titled "College Wishes", his face showed a touch of bitterness.
It's the first week of my junior year, and I'm afraid some of my wishes will be difficult to achieve.
Tang Xuan rubbed his head, turned off the document, and stared at the screen in a daze.
The contents of the document had been edited countless times, and they had long been familiar to him, and most of them were ordinary wishes.
Complete your studies conscientiously and win a scholarship once.
Earn money part-time and travel to Tibet once during the holidays.
……
Confess to Zhao Xue, who has always had a crush.
……
Confession!
Zhao Xue......
Tang Xuan's fingers trembled, and the index finger scrolling the mouse wheel stopped.
Zhao Xue, the girl who sat at her table in high school, had long black hair.
To this day, whenever Tang Xuan closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance brought by the wind blowing through the tips of her hair.
He had a crush on Zhao Xue for two years, almost a full high school age.
Although she studied hard and was admitted to the same university as her, there is an insurmountable gap between the two.
Less than a year after entering the school, Zhao Xue went to the Eagle Kingdom Cambridge University to study business administration as an exchange student under the arrangement of her family. And then she inadvertently showed her family background, if nothing else, she will go back to inherit the family's huge fortune after graduation and become an upper-class person.
Tang Xuan sighed, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on Zhao Xue's avatar in the penguin account with some melancholy.
He hadn't had the courage to make this seemingly self-defeating confession before, but now he ......
Let's just leave no regrets about the past few years.
"Xiaoxue, I'm Tang Xuan, I don't know if you still remember me? The boy at your table, actually, I've liked you since high school. ”
The fingertips jumped, and after several cuts, the long lyricism was removed, and Tang Xuan finally only left such a short sentence.
Press send, lost the phone, and lay down on the bed with relief: "I'm really crazy." A wry smile.
Drip, drip!
The penguin's reply sounded in the silent room, and Tang Xuan raised the vibrating mobile phone in his hand: "Where are you?" Give me the specific address and I'll find you right away! ”
I can't be dreaming!
Patting his face, he raised his phone again to confirm that he was not mistaken, Tang Xuan suddenly woke up from his depression, and quickly typed in his mobile phone: "I'm at school, a rental house in the West District, Building 7, Unit 2, Unit 101." ”
"Great, I'm nearby."
"I'm going to find you now."
"Tang Xuan, I want to see you...... Very urgent! ”
The continuous message pop-ups, Tang Xuan was a little stunned. After waking up in an instant, in addition to the surprise that followed, there was also a little bit of helplessness.
"This ......"
It's not a long wait of minutes.
Drip, drip!
"I've arrived." The message rang out again.
Knock knock! There was a quick knock at the door.
Tang Xuan opened the door.
The light-colored coat is dotted with long red and black hair, and a pale and somewhat unhealthy face.
It's really Zhao Xue!
Did she drink too much?
Like a drunken footstep, Zhao Xue staggered in the door and walked to the bed next to Tang Xuan's desk. Lie down on your back and unbutton the front of your shirt, moving slowly but with a bit of urgency.
Tang Xuan swallowed his saliva: "Ah, this, wait......"
It's just that before he blurted out the words later, the smell of blood dispelled all the charm in Tang Xuan's heart.
Underneath the jacket is a sweater soaked in bruises!
Tang Xuan rushed over, Zhao Xue's lips trembled, and her frightened eyes were full of help.
Tang Xuan felt a small pair of scissors from the table in a panic and helped Zhao Xue cut off her knitwear and intimate clothes.
Countless hideous knife wounds covered almost every corner of the poor girl's skin, and blood gushed out uncontrollably under the rolling muscles. However, what was really terrifying was a penetrating wound to his back in his full chest, near his heart and lungs.
This is a fatal wound!
Zhao Xue struggled to raise her face, which was pale due to excessive blood loss, and her lips squirmed: "Tang Xuan, save me...... Please, I'm desperate, I didn't expect you to send me a message, you're the only one around here who can help me. ”
Tang Xuan's hands trembled powerlessly, allowing Zhao Xue's blood to drip down his fingertips.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly took out the mobile phone in his pocket.
"Call an ambulance first, and then call the police." Tang Xuan's hand holding the phone trembled, and his bloodstained fingers couldn't unlock the fingerprint on the phone.
At this time, a hand grabbed his wrist, Tang Xuan lowered his head, it was Zhao Xue.
"No!" She pleaded in a low voice, "You can't call the police, you can't call an ambulance." ”
"Xiaoxue, are you crazy? You're going to die! ”
Zhao Xue struggled, desperately holding Tang Xuan's hand that was about to struggle away: "No, you don't understand, I'm playing a game, if you violate the rules of the game, call the police...... They won't let me go. ”
She began to babble nonsense, and as if she was returning to the light, a sudden burst of strength knocked Tang Xuan's mobile phone flying.
"Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, are they a criminal syndicate? This is the school, it's safe, we call the police now, it's going to be fine. ”
Tang Xuan couldn't imagine that a noble girl like Zhao Xue would encounter such a terrible encounter.
Zhao Xue's right hand trembled and took out a card from behind him, which was an unknown metallic card engraved with a genetic double helix structure pattern.
"Exchange ......" However, before he finished speaking, Zhao Xue's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked directly behind Tang Xuan with a burning gaze, "No, this is impossible!" Her voice suddenly became hoarse, as if something had been clawed by her throat.
As soon as the words fell, Tang Xuan's sweat and hairs exploded.
He turned his head suddenly, there was nothing behind him, and all the furnishings in the already small room were the same as before: "Xiaoxue, don't be afraid, there is nothing." ”
It's just that when Tang Xuan turned around again, what he saw was Zhao Xue's dilated pupils.
She leaned tightly into Tang Xuan's arms: "Tang Xuan, I'm so cold, really...... Good...... Cold ......" voice gradually deepened.
Tang Xuan hugged her tightly, trying to warm her motionless and cooler body.
And yet all in vain.
Slowly, Tang Xuan felt like he was holding a block of ice.
Tang Xuan trembled, she died.
Late at night, when I finally mustered up the courage to confess, the girl I had been secretly in love with for many years died in her bed.
Tang Xuan's brain finally came back to his senses, and Zhao Xue's body was already stiff.
He fell to the ground and touched his phone.
The broken phone screen was stained with blood.
Tremblingly pressed the alarm phone, and at the moment when the bell was about to ring, Tang Xuan felt his back, as if someone was pulling his neck with his hair.
He then lost consciousness.
As his consciousness drifted away, he heard the sound of a man and a woman talking.
Woman: "Oh, this female devil is really troublesome. That guy isn't a player, so what can I do? ”
Man: "Leave it to the logistics department, fortunately, there are not many memory fragments that need to be erased, at most we can earn less." ”
Woman: "That's not going to work, hell knows what the 'vampires' in the logistics department will offer, and if they intervene, the rewards for our mission will be greatly reduced, so don't forget what you're going to face in the next game." By the way, I have a bold idea......
Man: "It's not appropriate!" ”
Woman: "Ah." We don't have much time, and the rewards for this mission are crucial. People are forgetful, I sealed his subconscious, he won't enter the game in three years, and it's absolutely safe to dilute this matter in three years. ”
Man: "But ......"
"Nothing more, captain, people are forgetful! If this guy still does something that he doesn't know by then, then it is his destiny to become a player. The woman's voice said impatiently.
The man seemed to want to say something, but after several hesitations, all he blurted out was a sigh.
"Alas......" After that, everything returned to silence.
……
…… Finish......
Three years later......
