Blue Star, Yancheng, four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Yi had a half-lit cigarette in his mouth, a floral shirt under his casual suit, standing on the side of the road with his hands in his pockets, and casually glanced at the coolly dressed girl on the sidewalk not far away.

It's a scorching summer.

In a modern city, there are no ugly women in summer.

Put on makeup, bring sunglasses, and wear a summer skirt, Sister Feng can become a sable cicada when she comes.

It's really not eye-catching, wear a mask and draw eyeshadow, and you can also turn into an urban beauty.

And a few girls who noticed Chen Yi's gaze, not only did not any of them feel dissatisfied, but they stretched out their tender tongues and licked the corners of their mouths and threw flattering glances at Chen Yi, looking extremely charming and attractive.

It's just the slight horror in the girl's eyes, and the red blood that fills the entire pupil.

makes the whole picture a little less picky and a little more weird.

Everyone was chatting on the streets.

Even two strangers who go to work side by side are constantly chatting on the road, like old friends.

He flicked the cigarette butt in his hand next to the trash can, and casually glanced at the two strangers walking side by side behind him, and the conversation between the other party was also extremely interesting.

"Have you eaten?"

"Eat."

"What did you eat?"

"Well, actually, I didn't eat it, so did you eat it?"

It obviously doesn't look like a normal conversation, but almost everyone on the street is having this kind of meaningless conversation.

Although the two of them were talking.

But obviously I didn't hear what the other party was talking about.,Just talking about yourself.,It seems that the IQ is lower than the intelligence of the AI in the spam page game.。

The whole world gives people a sense of deserted page travel that has not been maintained for a long time.

At this time—

The cleaner on the side walked over and picked up the cigarette butt that Chen Yi had just bounced on the ground, and kept saying it in his mouth.

"Thank you, you threw this cigarette butt so well."

"Yo, the lotus you smoked, this is a good smoke."

"You know, I'm 67 years old this year, and I've always been proud of it, after all, it's a good thing to live a long time, isn't it?"

"But now, I suddenly feel that it's not a good thing to live too long, will you live long?"

After speaking.

The old man raised his head and stared at Chen Yi with anticrisy and urgency in his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.

“...”

After Chen Yi was silent for a while, he took out a cigarette from his arms again, put it to his mouth and lit it: "Old man, this is the Furong King, not a lotus, your eyes are not ordinary blind." ”

"Let's go back and get your eyes cured."

It's not very polite.

At least this should not be said to an elder.

But after hearing this, the old man did not get angry, but breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the side with a broom with satisfaction: "The lotus is good, the lotus is good, and my son also loves to smoke this cigarette." ”

"You can also go back to treat your lungs, sooner or later I will have to smoke you to death, and my son will be pumping to death."

"If you two are going to die together, I can be less courteous."

“...”

Chen Yi sighed a little speechlessly, looked down at his watch, and flicked the cigarette ash on the ground with some impatience.

And on the garbage can, there are two conspicuous and glaring slogans.

"Garbage is not allowed to be thrown into the trash, offenders are at their own risk!"

"The soot must be flicked on the ground, and the offender is at his own risk!"

In addition to these slogans, there are also a variety of giant slogans on the exterior walls of high-rise buildings throughout the city.

"You can't refuse a conversation from a stranger!"

"Someone accosted you, you have to respond!"

The whole city is very strange in the bustle!

Most people seem to be in high spirits, but the redness in their eyes proves that most people are on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Chen Yi stood in place, a little impatient, and continued to wait, without speaking.

Two months ago, the world changed completely.

Everyone remembers that day vividly.

Two months ago.

A voice rang out in the minds of everyone around the world.

"Game Update Announcement!"

"The new version of Blue Star 4.0 will be updated non-stop from 12:00 am on April 1, and the main content and adjustments of this update are as follows."

"1. Optimize the server and improve stability."

"2. Added this month's rule "Active Talent": all players must talk to others 1,000 times a day, and those who violate the rules will be reduced to dumb and the rules will be offline after two months."

"3. Optimize sea level rise on some maps."

"4. All players activate the visual dashboard."

"Snow Sea Project Team, I wish you all a happy game in version 4.0."

"PS: In the preview of the next update, the project team has decided to add the rules of the month about the "thriller" element in the next update, so please look forward to it."

-

A few simple words.

It looks like a mediocre game update announcement, but the problem is that this isn't a game, it's happening in reality!

April 1 is April Fool's Day.

The sudden sound in my ears and the panel in front of me are like an April Fool's prank.

At first, most people were a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

Until that day passed, and the next day came.

Nearly 20 percent of the world's population has become mute.

And that's when humans realized that this damn version update turned out to be a real supernatural event!!

Although they would rather believe it, many people complete the daily rules on the first day.

But—

Not everyone has the opportunity to talk to someone 1,000 times a day.

These include mute, vegetative, severe cerebral palsy patients, children resuscitated in hospital intensive care units, children who cannot speak, and there are so many of them.

In one day's work, there are nearly 20% more mutes in the world.

Fear quickly spreads across the planet.

This unknown and mysterious power has allowed all kinds of conspiracy theories to spread through various channels!

Everybody didn't know what was going on, but they did know that they had to talk to someone 1,000 times a day.

Even if it's nonsense.

Otherwise, you will become dumb forever.

It doesn't make any sense.

Of course... From a certain point of view, it seems that people who are originally dumb can ignore this punishment, anyway, they are already dumb, although they can't complete the daily rule tasks, but they don't need to accept the punishment.

Is it good news?

But even in the face of such a disaster, humanity quickly adapted and made various regulations, including ensuring that everyone could talk to people for 1,000 words a day.

People in need can turn to the government for help, which has led to an emergency helpline.

The people at the top were eagerly discussing this matter, and at the same time, they tried to calm down the society as much as possible and slowly look for a solution.

It is a terrible thing to concentrate and mobilize all the forces of mankind.

The slogans on the facades of these high-rise buildings are the product of the first month.

But... Just when humans are used to this way, they think that no matter how bad it is, it will not be like this.

The second month is coming.

On the first day of May.

The voice rang in everyone's ears again.
