Chapter 050: Canteen, Talk, Memories
8 p.m. London time.
The cafeteria at Olibel School is open all day, so if any student can't sleep at night, they can have a meal in the cafeteria. In particular, new students, they can enjoy free food in the cafeteria with their student ID cards within the first month after entering the school, referred to as the new student welfare period.
Ji Lang walked into the cafeteria and asked the cafeteria aunt for a tomato soup, he turned his head, and the young man with black hair and blue eyes slowly walked towards him, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
Anlens put away his phone and raised his eyes to look at Ji Lang: "You let Xia Mingwei get in touch with that VR game in advance?" ”
Ji Lang asked unhappily: "Yes, what is your opinion?" With that, he took the bowl of tomato soup and sat down in the nearest seat.
Anlens sat down across from him, put the cup of coffee down on the table, shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Hmm...... Do you know where he came from? ”
"I don't know, and I'm not interested." Ji Lang said, "But this thing is really disgusting, I suspect that he just couldn't survive a few minutes in the simulated battle in Snow Deer Town, and after he came out, he was angry and criticized me for having problems with the game, and said that he quit by himself, and he wanted to save face." ”
"Really......" Anlens crossed his hands against his chin, "so something like this happened?" ”
"No, I'm really going to be." Ji Lang bit the spoon and scolded, "He obviously doesn't have any skills, and he is still so arrogant." ”
"Speaking of which," Aarence stared at him, "you know why I was mad at you when you added the Port Arlinge incident to that game in the first place?" ”
"So why?" Ji Lang gave him a blank look, "You fucking, you were like a mad dog at that time, you almost pounced on me and bit me, and you will paralyze Lao Tzu." ”
"My sister died in the mouth of Poseidon, the god of the sea, in Port Aringe." Aarons spoke in a flat tone.
The air was suddenly silent, and the footsteps of the nearby students could be heard, and groups of students laughing and talking as they passed by.
Anlens took a sip of his coffee and continued:
"Only I know how powerless and desperate I was at that time, the dragon was nearly a thousand times bigger than me, it just landed and smashed thousands of houses, and a casual flick of its tail was enough to destroy the tall buildings in the city center. It could have slapped my sister to death, but as if it was playing, it slowly lowered its head, enjoyed her screams, and then took her into its mouth, tearing her body open with its sharp teeth. I tried to save her, but her head fell in front of me and smashed out her brain. I held her head and ran like a lost dog, and kept running, and running...... If Poseidon, the god of the sea, had not chosen to go in the opposite direction at that time, I would have been a corpse by now. ”
Ji Lang's pupils contracted slightly, and the hand holding the spoon froze in mid-air.
"You...... Earnest? He asked, suspiciously.
"Of course." Aarons' eyes were bright.
Ji Lang stared at Anlens blankly, he had been with this neurotic for two years, and he could tell when the other party was joking, this person's expression didn't look like he was lying.
"It's the same with Shamingway." Anrens went on to say, "All his family, and all his friends in the village, died by the sword of Surtr. ”
"He's the survivor of the Snow Deer incident?"
Anlens retracted his smile and said slowly:
"Yes, you don't understand this feeling of powerlessness because you haven't experienced it yourself. That's why we're angry. ”
"It's clear that no one has experienced our despair, but they can casually treat our experience as a fun game, be complacent about their performance, and then leave a message on the simulation screen like a movie: 'It's really amazing.'"
"Wonderful?"
"Of course it's wonderful, after all, it's been exchanged for countless lives. Some people even said, 'If he had been at the scene of the incident, he could have done better'. ”
"You know what?" Anrens's voice was cold, "I sincerely hope that God will let them die in the place of my family, and experience her despair as these fools who don't know the height of the sky." ”
The corners of Ji Lang's eyes twitched slightly, and he tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.
"By the way," Anlens asked, sipping his coffee and smiling, "Have you seen the Korean movie "So Won"?" ”
"Yes." Ji Lang whispered.
"The film is based on real events in South Korea and tells the story of a girl who is violated by a neighbor." "And the girl who was assaulted inside is still alive." If she saw the comments under this movie, and some people said how child's play this case was, how weak that girl was, and how much better she could have done if she had been different, then what would she think? ”
"It should be ......" Ji Lang swallowed a mouthful of water, lowered his eyes, and looked at the bubbling tomato soup in the spoon, "It will feel very disgusting......
"Yes." Anlens sneered, "That's how I feel, the enemy who is clearly powerless to the point of hysteria is designed to be a flashy big target in the game." While other students still take pleasure in it, it is clearly an irreparable disaster, but they see it as a means of entertainment and friendship, and even think that the mythical carrier in reality is as weak as the enemies in the game. ”
Ji Lang was silent for a long time, put down the spoon, and the black strands of hair covered his eyes.
"I just want to say......" said Anlens deeply, "the arrogant man is not me, much less him. He put down his coffee cup, "Apologize to him for what you owed me then." ”
Ji Lang pursed his lips and stood up for a long time: "British, you help me pay for it, and I will invite you next time." With that, he put down the tomato soup that had not been touched and walked out of the cafeteria.
Alens watched him leave, shook the cup of coffee in his hand, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
"Wait, why don't I lose sleep after drinking coffee at night......"
