On November 21, late at night, in Shangshi City, in an apartment.

"Accept a video call." Anson Lu yawned and said in a muffled voice.

As the words fall, the chat panel expands.

Urushihara's face appears on the screen, and his background is a thriving high-rise building that towers side by side like a giant, with a huge LED display embedded in the surface of the high-rise building.

If you look closely, you can see the famous Tokyo Tower, also known as the Tokyo Sky Tree, which is one of Tokyo's most famous sights.

It's different from what Anson Deer envisioned.

He originally thought that what would be reflected on the screen would be the gloomy prison ceiling, but Yutsu Uruhara only dared to wait for the guards to go to sleep before secretly calling him, just like a child whose parents restricted the time he could play on his mobile phone.

It's a pity that this thing seems to be quite chic.

"Lu-kun, I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"It's okay." Anson Lu lifted his chin and nibbled on a potato chip, "The time difference between Japan and China is only 1 hour, and it will only be 10 o'clock in the evening on my side, which is not too late for me as a night owl." ”

"That's good."

Urushihara adjusted the panel, which was facing his body.

Dressed in a pitch-black tuxedo, he appears to be standing on the railing of a suspension bridge with a deep bay beneath it—the sea repeats itself and the dark tide rises and falls.

"You're not going to stand on the Tokyo Bay Bridge, are you?" Anson Lu was shocked, "I'll go, Brother Crow, let's have something to say, don't lose hope in this world, okay with another village!" ”

As we all know, there are countless wrecks in Tokyo Bay.

Qi Yuanlu chuckled, and sighed in his heart, Anson Lu's thinking was still so out of the box as always.

"Lu-kun, how could I have the idea of suicide, I just used the 'Phantom Crow' to escape from prison not long ago."

"Please, what kind of neurotic would stand on top of Tokyo Bay and chat like you!"

"That's what you said..... "Ritsu Urushihara put his hand on his chin, as if thinking about how to refute it.

"But it's yours, Tokyo Central Prison can let you slip out."

"Piece of cake."

"Beep-"

The sound of the vehicle's horn came from the Tokyo Bay Rainbow Bridge and through the panel to the ears of Anson Deer.

If it had been two weeks ago, Anson Deer would never have imagined that there would be a neurotic standing on the railing of the Tokyo Bay Bridge, with a leisurely face on a video call with himself, which is simply heartbreaking.....

Help me....

How the hell did I work with this freak for a whole week, and start a freak guild with him, I'm really fed up.....

The corners of Ansonlu's eyes twitched slightly, he calmed down for a moment, and asked:

"So, what are you looking for me?"

"I've found out about the 'Icelandic girl.'"

Anson Lu was stunned for a moment, "I almost believed it, how can you investigate in prison?" ”

Ritsu Ushihara's hair was messy by the wind over Tokyo Bay, and he said lightly:

"I know a lot of people in the underworld, and some of them have the means to help me get some information, of course, the paid ones are right."

"Cow, so you said she was hiding something last time?"

"The three traits required for the special sequence 'Snow Walker' are - hyperamnesia, lack of emotion, and ......" Urushihara Ritsu paused and said:

"Ancaches Syndrome."

"What is this, sounding so high-end?" Anson Deer was puzzled.

"To put it simply, it's an extremely rare terminal illness."

"Terminally ill?"

"That's right, it's only seen in one of Iceland's marina villages...... says Urushihara, "and it's a sparsely populated village in the north of Iceland called 'Dúpivogur,' where Yuri was born." ”

"What and what?" Anson Lu was stunned and said, "No, why would the system treat a terminal illness as a trait that matches a special sequence?" ”

"Lu-kun, first of all, what I need to tell you is ....." Qi Yuan said slowly:

"Patients with Ancaches's syndrome will have two clinical manifestations: 'affective loss' and 'hyperamnesia'."

Anson Lu reacted after a while, "What do you mean, that is, the system actually only uses one of her traits when matching sequences?" ”

Urushihara said with certainty:

"That's right, that's why she's hiding it from us."

"What else does this terminal illness have?" Anson Deer asked.

"Hair turns gray."

"I'll go, no wonder she has gray hair at a young age?" Anson Lu said, "Actually, it's just such a problem, and there is no need to become a 'terminal illness', it doesn't sound very serious." ”

"So far, there have only been three cases of Ankaches syndrome, the first of which is an Icelandic girl named 'Khaki', who was also born in that dock village." Urushihara Ritsu said:

"She died on the third day after her eighteenth birthday, and I heard that her death was tragic, and the concrete manifestation was that it melted into water like ice and then evaporated into gas.....

"What?"

The pupils of the Anson deer constricted slightly.

"The second case also behaved similarly," Kirithara said calmly, "and the other girl died the day after she turned eighteen, and the death was the same as the first. ”

"What about this decreasing sequence," said Anson Lu, "do you want to say that it is possible that Yuri will die at the age of eighteen?" ”

"That's right, based on the existing cases, it should be."

Anson Lu's eyes flashed, and his mouth opened slightly.

He recalled the side face of the Icelandic girl clouded by snow-white hair, and recalled the "thank you".

What she was saying at the time was to thank me for running to the Sapporo ski resort to find her alone, or to thank me for admitting that I was friends with her.

But that's too humbling, isn't it....

You can be stubborn with me in chess for two hours, but you can say 'thank you' for such a trivial matter.....

In other words, Ankaches syndrome, how do you get along with people in reality if you suffer from this kind of broken disease, it's not that freaks have to be made into freaks, it's really funny....

I was, probably, her first friend.

Anson Lu was silent for a long time, and asked softly: "Since this kind of thing has not been reported, it should be that the Icelandic government has kept it secret, how did you find out?" ”

"I know a few Icelandic gamblers, and the rest are a bit of a hassle to explain."

"Okay, so what are you going to do...."Anson Deer said:

"We can't save her, can we?"

"There's a lot more I want to say," Ushihara Ritsu said, looking at Anson Lu's face, almost word for word:

"I want you to hear me say this."

"You say, I'll listen."

"When she was 10 years old, she showed her first symptoms, her father left the family out of fear, and her mother sold her to the Icelandic government for research after negotiation." Qi Yuanlu said in a flat tone:

After that, she left the dock village and went to Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland.

"Hmm."

"In fact, Icelandic medical scientists were helpless against this symptom, and they dedicated her to capital." Qi Yuanlu said lightly:

"Gray hair, hyperamnesia, lack of emotion, under the marketing of capital, these traits have made her a child star, frequently appearing on the stage, I think, everyone likes geniuses, especially geniuses with flaws, because this can make their psychology balanced, isn't it?"

"Oh."

But a year ago, at the age of 16, she withdrew from the stage and disappeared from the eyes of Icelanders. Urushihara Ritsu said:

"She ran away, but she didn't succeed, the existence of Ankaches syndrome made her body much weaker than ordinary people, and it was impossible for her to run away at that time."

After a pause, he continued: "After that, her physical condition deepened, and the Icelandic government did not want to give up this cash cow, and she was treated in the hospital for up to a year. ”

Anson Deer didn't speak.

"In the end, due to the excessive amount of research money invested, the treatment process was far from ......"

"When the Icelandic government was already about to give up on her treatment, she awakened a special sequence in the evolution game, Snow Walker, and became the third special sequence player in the Icelandic capital."

"Because of this, her health has improved, and she has been able to leave the hospital bed she has been staying in day after day for the past two years," Qi Yuan said here, raising his dark eyes and staring directly at Ansen Lu:

"But at this time, the Icelandic government coerced her into agreeing that if she was willing to cooperate with the state, her mother in the dock village would not be in trouble."

"Hah...."Anson Lu couldn't help but laugh:

"No, if you want to talk nonsense, at least you can justify yourself, her mother has already sold her, how can she still fight for ....."

Kirithara interrupted him, "For the past seven years, she has always thought that her mother sent her to the hands of government officials in order for her to be saved, and she has always thought so. ”

Anson Lu's voice stopped abruptly, and his face twitched slightly.

"It's sad, isn't it?" Qi Yuan said slowly:

"First she was a plaything of capital, now she is a puppet of the government, and she will be the same in the future, she has never been free, and maybe during her time in Hokkaido, she has experienced things that she has never experienced before."

The messy hair obscured the dark brown eyes of Anson Deer.

He calmly asked:

"She's still in the capital of Iceland?"

"Yes." Urushihara Ritsu said:

"And I have good news that her mother died in the first round of the Evolution game, but she was still kept in the dark by the Icelandic government."

Anson Deer whispered:

"I understand what you're trying to do."

"By the way, she deleted my friend, and I can't directly transfer this 'travel ticket' to her through a transaction, this matter can only be handed over to you." Qi Yuanlu said lightly:

"That's all I want to say..... The rest is up to you, Lu-kun. ”

"If you don't think she's eligible for redemption, then let her become a puppet, spend the last half a year, and wait for her to be drained of her value, then melt into ice, and die completely."

"Or maybe I have a 'travel ticket' in hand, which I got from trading with a Tokyo player, you know what you can do, and the right is in your hands."

Nowadays, cities all over the world are blocked by invisible walls, and the only way to leave the original city is through the item of travel scrolls.

The meaning of Uruhara is .....

First, let Anson Deer use the travel scroll he has on hand to go to Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, and find Yuri.

Anson Deer then gives Yuri another travel scroll and tells Yuri to leave Reykjavik and head elsewhere for the dungeon.

That way, the next time he comes out of the dungeon, Yuri won't be back in Reykjavík.

"It's true that we can't save her from her illness, but we can set her free." Urushihara said.

"So, why am I doing this?" Anson Lu sighed lightly and asked:

"Just because I'm the president you think you're going to be?"

"She is only likely to negotiate with you, and as for me, if I go to her, I guess she won't listen to me, not a word." Urushihara is rightfully said.

"I need proof," Anson said unquestionably, "the evidence that her parents are dead, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to convince her to go to Iceland." ”

"I'll give you the evidence, it's a necessary part."

"And ....." Anson Lu slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of dark brown eyes under his hair, and his voice was extremely cold:

"Raven, if I go to Iceland and find out that the truth is even a little different from what you say, I will make you pay....

A heavy price. ”

Urushihara was stunned for a moment.

He had never seen Anson Deer look like that.

In these dark brown eyes, there seemed to be a devouring beast lurking, so deep that it was terrifying.

"I promise you with my life, Lu-kun." Qi Yuan said slowly:

"I can't induce you with any one-sided, incomplete, untrustworthy information, and if my intelligence doesn't match the facts at all, then ....."

"Alright...."Anson Lu interrupted him, "The next round of dungeons will start on the 24th, and I will use the 'travel roll' to go to the capital of Iceland then, can you persuade that three-nothing girl to say otherwise." ”

"Okay, then I'll be relieved."

There was a brief silence between the two.

The sea in Tokyo Bay is flowing, the Rainbow Bridge is full of traffic, and the bustling high-rise buildings in the distance are showing the knowledge of the "Evolution Game" with hanging LED screens.

"When I bring that Icelandic girl back to Shangshi City, you can come here too." Anson Lu said calmly, "Anyway, you have to hide from the police in Tokyo, so it's not very tiring. ”

Qi Yuanlu was stunned for a little for two seconds, and said with a smile:

"Of course you can, but I still have some things to deal with."

"How long?"

Kirithara Ritsu said thoughtfully, "Well, almost when the second copy is over, I can come to Shangshi City, and presumably by then, we will have more than three members." ”

"How can there be so many freaks on Earth...," Anson Deer said in an emotionless voice.

"Our union wants to accept people, first of all, the first point is that the person is unwilling to obey the government's management, and this alone can exclude many players, let alone special sequence players."

"That's the kind of person we're going to take, Lu-kun." "I appreciate lonely and arrogant souls, not puppets who have no personal spirit like a lackey. ”

"That's a nice thing to say," Anson deer teased, "it's actually just a bunch of freaks getting together and huddling together to keep warm." ”

"That's enough." "Special people need special havens, and this has always been the case since ancient times." ”

"Has anyone commented that you are simply..."Anson Lu paused, and said with a disgusted face:

"The Virgin Mary of the Weirdo."

"Hehe...."Qi Yuanlu chuckled twice:

"If you have to say that, then you are the Jesus of freaks, Lujun, I think that without you, the guild of 'Hell Lighthouse' would never be theoretically possible."

"This is the end of the onset of the disease, and if we continue to talk about it, our union will really change its name to the 'Middle School and Second Disease Exchange Meeting'." Anson Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's rested, it's not early."

"Thank you, Lu-kun."

"What?"

"Thank you for believing in me, I think what I just said would be unbelievable to anyone."

"It does sound, I never thought that Icelandic girl's situation was so complicated." Anson Deer said lightly:

"I just have a gut feeling that you can believe it, though, and my instincts are generally quite accurate, at least since I was born, even—" he paused, "not a single one." ”
