Qi Yan had already thought of his words: "I'm sorry, I'm new to the road, I'm not very familiar with the route in this area, I took the wrong way just now, so I haven't arrived in a big circle, don't worry, this money won't be counted in you, it's my mistake, I'll give you a free order." ”

"That's good, that's good..."Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief in shock, and then hurriedly said, "Master, I'm sorry, we won't go to the hospital, we won't go..."

Nian Nian, who was held in Mrs. Xu's arms, was stunned: "Mom? What the hell is wrong with you? If you don't go to the hospital... What do you mean...? ”

Mrs. Xu whimpered: "Niannian, we will follow your wishes, it's okay not to take the child away, as long as you want, your mother can take responsibility with you." ”

"Let's talk to everyone well, don't care about what you have or not, as long as you want, as long as you're happy..."

Niannian's eyes widened in disbelief: "Really?!" ”

"Of course, let's go home, let everyone go home for a reunion dinner in the evening, and I'll prepare food when I go back..." Mrs. Xu babbled to herself, and pinched her thigh several times, afraid that this moment was a dream, and that she would accidentally return to the old building where there was no one.

In the dream of more than an hour just now, Mrs. Xu in this timeline saw the longest nineteen years of Mrs. Xu who was alone in the empty building.

In 19 years, the sky has not been clear, there has been gray snow, and the old apartment building is so quiet that only the sound of falling snow remains.

Nian Nian still had a hard time accepting her mother's sudden change, and frowned a little worriedly: "Mom, can you tell me what happened?" ”

The 180-degree change in her mother's attitude made her a little overwhelmed, but it was undeniable that she was secretly happy at the moment, and she couldn't believe that her mother had suddenly become so reasonable and willing to hear her true voice.

Mrs. Xu: "It's not important, I had a long nightmare, so I wanted to open it." ”

Qi Yan glanced at the mother and daughter in the rearview mirror, then withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on how 079 drove the car.

The green fluorite diffuser had been put away by him, and Qi Yan rolled down the window to let the summer wind blow away the residual smell in the car.

The taxi stopped outside the door of the duty room in the community as usual, 079 turned off the fire, and watched Mrs. Xu and Nian Nian disappear into the corridor of the old apartment before leaving.

"Where do you want to go?" 079 asked.

But before Qi Ji could answer, the system sent a signal-

[Congratulations on changing the way you used to let Mrs. Xu get a real family reunion]

[The system has detected that the abandoned character who is currently interfering with the bug has disappeared from the plot, and is trying to reopen the dungeon logout channel]

【Ding——】

[The logout channel of the dungeon has been opened normally, please be sure to return to the timeline of the original story within five minutes to avoid the situation that you cannot log out of the dungeon]

【Warning! Due to the unstable logout channel of the dungeon, please log out within 5 minutes! 】

[Do you want to log out immediately?] Yes / No]

Qi Yan chose [no] without hesitation

"079, do you know how to get to your persona database? Start with this timeline. Qi Yan asked suddenly.

Nineteen years ago, it was not only the beginning of Mrs. Xu's family's nightmare, but also the year when 079's character data was stolen.

079: "The secret I mentioned earlier has to do with that. ”

Chapter 235: The Data Thief (5)

Nineteen years later, in the old apartment, the surviving players ushered in the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

The sky was even colder, and the clouds were low on the junction of the old building and the ruined city, and the sky was gray, as if a snowstorm was brewing.

The heating in the building stopped, all the appliances stopped running, not even the faucet could wring out a drop of water, and the old abandoned apartment was completely shut down, truly forgotten in this infinite cycle of "years".

The surviving players were woken up by freezing and it was past seven o'clock in the morning, but Mrs. Xu still didn't come to the door for breakfast.

The players who were huddled in the thin quilt were nervous, and everyone had a premonition that some balance seemed to have been upset unconsciously.

But whether the scales will tilt in favor of good fortune, they dare not make a conclusion.

"What's going on? It can't be that there is another bug..."The female player who got a lot of happy identity cards slept on the bed of Qi Ji before, and she looked out of the window, but the sky was gray, and only a vague outline was left of the apartment and the abandoned playground opposite.

Not long after she finished muttering, all the players' systems went off an alarm -

【Warning! Due to a radical reversal in the plot of the dungeon, all Traveler's equipped ID cards are about to expire! 】

[After the identity card expires, the traveler will no longer have the identity of Mrs. Xu's family, and all family privileges will be taken back immediately!] 】

[Please leave the main family's room before the ID card is completely invalidated]

[Countdown to ID card invalidation: 30s]

All the players panicked and hurried out of their rooms before they even had time to put on their coats, and some of them even shivered barefoot in the cold concrete corridor.

The sudden invalidation of their identity cards plunged them into an unprecedented panic, which meant that their privileges as Mrs. Xu's family disappeared, and they could not be protected by the Xu family.

"How so? I thought that the age limit of the identity card could last at least until the end of the fifteenth year, so what should we do?! The female teacher, who had previously dreamed of spending the rest of her time here, was completely panicked, and she looked at Lin Peilan helplessly, but Lin Peilan only shook her head, to which she couldn't answer.

"Why does it fail...!"

No one can give an answer, fear and frustration creep through the silence, two of the most contagious emotions.

Soon, however, it became apparent that there was one less player in the hallway.

Qi Xiaonian looked at the entrance of the corridor uneasily, and kept muttering in his heart: "Why hasn't my brother gone downstairs today?" What the hell is going on? ”

Last night, Qi Yan equipped the identity card of the Xu family's twin sons and lived in room 501, they haven't met since then, and this morning suddenly happened that the identity card was invalid, Qi Yan still hasn't shown up, in Qi Xiaonian's opinion, this is very strange.

Just when the panic of the players was at its peak, the system spoke again-

[The system has detected that the abandoned character who is currently interfering with the bug has disappeared from the plot, and is trying to reopen the dungeon logout channel]

【Ding——】

[The logout channel of the dungeon has been opened normally]

【Warning! Due to the unstable logout channel of the dungeon, please log out within 5 minutes! 】

[Do you want to log out the copy immediately?] Yes / No]

"I—I heard you right, right?!" After a brief pause, some players raised their voices to question, but there was a hint of surprise in his trembling tone.

"What kind of shit luck is this?!"

After the major blow of the identity card invalidation, the system directly announced that the dungeon logout channel was open, and all players were a little confused at this time.

One player tentatively clicked the [Yes] button, and all the remaining players clearly saw that he left the dungeon without any problems.

"It's true... He did it! "The mood of the players is like a roller coaster, with big ups and downs, and although they have experienced unexpected obstacles, the final result is also unexpectedly good.

The players pressed the button to log out of the dungeon one after another, but Qi Xiaonian walked towards the stairwell.

"Hey! Xiao Qi, where are you going? Seeing this, the female player who had previously obtained many happy identity cards hurriedly walked towards Qi Xiaonian over the crowd.

Qi Xiaonian: "I'll go to the fifth floor to take a look, my brother may have stumbled over something, and now it's still in 501..."

"Xiao Qi, listen to me..."The female player didn't say a word, and suddenly choked because Mrs. Xu and her party walked down the stairs.

"Whose child are you? Let's go, soon the demolition team will come over and push the building, it's dangerous, don't play here. Mrs. Xu was almost bumped into by Qi Xiaonian, who was hurrying upstairs, but she was not angry, but talked to Qi Xiaonian calmly.

Qi Xiaonian noticed that Mrs. Xu was followed by a strange young man in his teens, this young man did not exist in the plot of the previous copy, and Mrs. Xu's current state was very different from last night, the whole person was radiant, and she was like two people who had described her as withered before.

But now Qi Xiaonian didn't have time to pay attention to these, so he hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Xu, have you seen my brother upstairs?" ”

Mrs. Xu frowned: "The upstairs has long been emptied, and there is no one at all." ”

Seeing that Qi Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Xu thoughtfully added, "Do you have a photo of your brother?" I'll see if it's anyone's child, maybe I know it. ”

The more Qi Xiaonian listened, the more strange he became, why the current Mrs. Xu was like she didn't know him.

But at this moment, Qi Xiaonian couldn't care so much, and took out the only photo of him and his brother and put it in front of Mrs. Xu: "Mrs. Xu, have you seen him?" ”

The moment Mrs. Xu saw Qi Yan in the photo, her expression was obviously in a trance, and then she nodded continuously with a nostalgic expression: "I have seen this young man, I took his taxi nineteen years ago, because the situation was too special at that time... So very impressive. ”

Ordinary people don't remember a taxi driver who took her nineteen years ago, but because Mrs. Xu had a nightmare in that taxi for 19 years, and the moment she woke up was like a world away, she deeply remembered everything that happened that day and everyone she met.

Although it was only a nightmare, she felt an indescribable reality in the dream, as if those desperate experiences had really happened to her.

"Nineteen years ago?!" Qi Xiaonian's eyes widened when he landed, and the bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

"If it weren't for the fact that this novice master was unfamiliar with the route and delayed the journey, I might have made a decision that I would regret for the rest of my life." Mrs. Xu looked at the familiar young man in the photo and smiled with relief.

Qi Xiaonian: "Mrs. Xu, are you sure you are not mistaken?" ”

Mrs. Xu nodded her head firmly: "It won't be wrong, I'm too impressed, thanks to that master who took the wrong path, otherwise our family Xu would not have had a chance to come to this world in the future." ”

The young man behind Mrs. Xu was the child in her belly at that time, and she was named Xu Future.

He almost disappeared into the summer nineteen years ago.

"Child, let's go, I'm sure there is no one upstairs, this building will soon be demolished by the demolition team, and the residents have already moved out one after another, I came here today to get a group photo that was missing here."

As she spoke, Mrs. Xu showed Qi Xiaonian a family photo hugging her chest, "Our family of sixteen is going to spend the first year in our new home in the development zone this year." ”

In the color group photo, Mrs. Xu and Qin Ruilan are sitting in the center, and behind them are their families, which are no longer paper people, but flesh and blood people.

Among them, there is also an extra young man: Xu Future, the child who misses him.

Qi Xiaonian instantly realized that Qi Zhen must have gone back nineteen years ago through the power of evil spirits, changing the ending of this tragic story from the root, and allowing Mrs. Xu to reunite her family in the true sense.

"Happy New Year, Mrs. Xu." Qi Xiaonian said.

Mrs. Xu smiled: "Happy New Year, you and your brother can come to our new house at any time to play." ”

After Mrs. Xu and Xu Future left, the system sent another warning-

【Warning! Due to the unstable logout channel of the dungeon, please log out as soon as possible! 】

[Countdown to the current dungeon logout: 2 minutes]

[Do you want to log out the copy immediately?] Yes / No]

Qi Xiaonian stood on the stairs hesitating, and the female player came up and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Qi, let's go, let's wait for the logout of the dungeon." ”

"I promised others that I would take you out safely after the dungeon logout channel opened, and you can't let me break my word..."

Qi Xiaonian looked at her: "So brother already knew that such a situation would occur, right?" ”

The female nodded in default.

"I see."

Qi Xiaonian hesitated for half a second, finally glanced at the entrance of the abandoned apartment, and then clicked the [Yes] button.

He believed that his brother would not break his promise, and since Qi Yan had promised to come back safely, then he would definitely be able to do what he said.
