Shen Yunzhe, who grew up in an orphanage, was laid off by his company. After failing to find a job, he was tricked into a thrilling live-stream game.
The process was full of hardships and ter...
Chapter 81
Shen Yunzhe felt that he must have been so sleepy that he must have blocked his mouth when he was making a fuss.
How can a dreamer control his thoughts? All he sees are a mess of strange scenes.
So even if I kiss someone, it’s no big deal...right?
[What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.] The system spoke faintly.
Shen Yunzhe wished he could pack up this invisible and intangible system and throw it into the sewer right now.
"Shen Yunzhe." Codename Hope was still full of anticipation. He looked at him with bright eyes, his neck covered in pinch marks. "I don't lie. I would never lie to you."
Believe it or not. Shen Yunzhe sighed, thinking that Codename Hope was a jerk who would never reflect on himself.
Even when he was almost strangled to death by me, he still lied to me and teased me with all kinds of words. He was even more naughty than a naughty kid.
So Shen Yunzhe stood up and walked over, pushing Codename Hope to the ground in his expectant eyes. Codename Hope did not resist at all, his long silver hair spread all over the ground. He looked at Shen Yunzhe with gentle eyes. Codename Hope usually liked to look at Shen Yunzhe like this, as if his heart and eyes were filled with only Shen Yunzhe.
Unfortunately, I don't know if there is any sincerity in his focus and expectations.
"Don't you know how to reflect on yourself at all?" Shen Yunzhe asked him in a low voice.
"Why should I reflect on myself?" Codename Hope replied with a smile, "Why should I? I have to reflect on what I did. But if it was Shen Yunzhe, I could apologize."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't do it again." Codename Hope apologized softly, "Shen Yunzhe, please forgive me."
Seeing that he was about to utter more such dishonest words, Shen Yunzhe lowered his head and kissed him to stop him from speaking. Codename Hope felt a slight warmth on his lips, but before he could react, the warmth turned into a stinging pain.
Shen Yunzhe bit him.
He used quite a bit of force, and it made the blood come out with just one bite.
Blood slid down his lips. Codename Hope reacted after a few seconds and touched his lips, feeling a hand full of blood. Shen Yunzhe had already gotten up and was wiping the blood from his mouth with his hand. It looked as if nothing had happened. Codename Hope didn't know what to say.
The suggestion of another kiss was also intentional on the part of Codename. He didn't care at all how things would develop. He loved to make a mess.
Do it because it's fun.
He thought Shen Yunzhe would be angry and submissive, but he never expected that Shen Yunzhe would bite him after kissing him, and bite him until he bled.
Like a vengeful little beast with fangs.
So Codename Hope immediately felt aggrieved, "Shen Yunzhe, you are such a bad person."
"You have the right to say that about others?" Shen Yunzhe glared at him. "So why did you join the official team?"
"I'm not satisfied." Codename Hope tried to shirk responsibility.
Shen Yunzhe looked at him, "Are you sure you want to deny your debt to me here? When you know that you have deceived me many times and I no longer trust you."
Codename Hope blinked, lowering his head, looking even more pitiful than before.
"Because the government promised to give me an apartment."
"ah?"
Codename Hope immediately became confident. "The news couldn't be hidden when I entered the game. Many strange erosion incidents occurred in real life, including my home, which couldn't be returned to due to strange erosion issues. So the officials told me that as long as I joined, they would give me a house."
Shen Yunzhe and Code Name hope looked at each other, and there was only one meaning in their eyes.
'Do you think I believe it?'
Not to mention that the world of Codename Hope has reached the end of the erosion of the game field. There is no need to buy a house to find a stable place for yourself. Just entering the game field can get a stable income. Although no one wants to make this money, you will get it if you enter. This money is enough for a person to find a stable place.
Does he still need the government to allocate him a house?
Code Name Hope pressed her bleeding lips, and seeing that Shen Yunzhe didn't believe her, she gave a second reason.
"Because the authorities promised to assign me a partner."
Even less plausible than the previous reason.
Shen Yunzhe stared at him. "I don't look that easy to fool, do I?"
Codename Hope smiled, closed his eyes, and gave a third reason, "Because I'm so bored."
The third reason seemed like a joke, but Shen Yunzhe felt that this might be the real reason.
Codename Hope is really too empty.
Shen Yunzhe didn't know what kind of person he was before, but he knew what an empty person he was. He always felt that the world was boring and was always tired of things, so he tried his best to entertain himself and liked to try everything.
He would take it for granted that the official places are more interesting than those of ordinary people, so it is normal for him to join the official places.
What a pity, after hoping to get in, I found out that the official one is the most boring place.
"Shen Yunzhe," Codename Hope asked him, "Aren't you bored? The world outside seems to always be the same. Sometimes three days pass like just one. I've tried staying awake for three days and three nights to test human limits, and I've also tried forcing myself to sleep for three days and three nights."
"Later, I felt like there wasn't much difference between the two. Both make the body tired," said Codename Hope. "Neither result was good."
"Your performance art is very extraordinary." Shen Yunzhe sighed.
Codename wanted to recall the feeling at that time, but unfortunately, he had forgotten it long ago. He had stayed here for too long, and he could only remember a little about the past feelings, but had completely forgotten the perception at that time.
Well, no matter how boring it is outside, it is much better than here.
"Shen Yunzhe, don't change the subject." Codename Hope looked at Shen Yunzhe, "Isn't it boring?"
"Why would you be bored? I have a lot of dolls." Shen Yunzhe stared at him. "They are all very obedient and beautiful. They pile up in my house and don't run around. They are different from you."
Codename Hope looked into his eyes, then sighed softly and said something in an indescribable tone.
"Would you kiss the doll you have hanging on the wall?"
Shen Yunzhe: ...
He was always left speechless by Codename Hope's shocking remarks.
The next day, Shen Yunzhe could feel the sunlight shining on him as soon as he opened his eyes. He forgot to draw the curtains last night. Shen Yunzhe stretched and yawned. He walked out of the bedroom in his pajamas and saw the dolls on his wall. The next moment, the voice code-named Hope emerged in his mind.
'You kiss the doll you hang on the wall?'
Depend on……
Shen Yunzhe pressed his temples and then sat on the sofa. Next to the sofa was a doll, a new doll that cost as much as 3,800 yuan. Shen Yunzhe couldn't help but pick up the doll and even held it up to look at it. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it looked very much like Codename Hope. When he thought of Codename Hope, he began to feel bored.
The system was right, he should throw the doll away.
But how could I bear to give it up? This doll is really beautiful.
So Shen Yunzhe held the doll in his arms again.
"I'll find a makeup artist to change my makeup tomorrow." Shen Yunzhe murmured, "I don't know where to find a reliable one, but it seems like it will take a long time."
He thought about it again and again, and was reluctant to give his doll away for a long time.
Opening his mobile phone, Shen Yunzhe logged into WeChat for the first time in a long time. After verification, Shen Yunzhe saw the historical messages pop up. Unfortunately, there were too few people in Shen Yunzhe's friend list. He didn't have many friends to begin with, and after resigning, he even stopped contacting his former colleagues.
After all, only one person sent him a message.
Li Yilun.
[Are you still alive?]
[When I observe the night sky, I always feel that you are shrouded in bad luck and full of death. That's fine, but why do you also smell like a bad love relationship?]
[Are you a ghost in disguise?]
Shen Yunzhe was silent. Looking at these words, he always felt that Li Yuluan was cursing him.
So he sent Li Yulun an emoticon of a man holding a knife to express his anger.
[So he's still alive, what a lucky guy!] Li Yilun completely ignored the meme. [Want to meet me? I want to see for myself what it's like to be someone who combines bad luck, death, and bad relationships.]
[Am I here for you to watch as a monkey? ]
"That's fine. I can give you the ticket money. The zoo ticket is 100, and you're only worth 1/10 at most."
A transfer of ten dollars was sent.
Very good, this guy Li Yuluan looks like a cool guy, but he is actually not a serious person.
[Seriously, I've been discovered by the authorities.]
When they found out I was a fortune teller, their eyes widened like bells. I didn't sing, but they really did. They immediately became extremely attentive. It was as if they were trying to recruit me.
Shen Yunzhe nodded and ate the melon. [What then?]
"Anyway, it feels like even modern society worships fortune tellers. I think there's something going on here. Shen Yunzhe, do you know anything about this?"
The authorities still discovered Li Yiluan, which is normal.
After all, Shen Yunzhe and Li Yulun have met more than once. If the official intends to investigate Shen Yunzhe, they will always find Li Yulun. In addition, Li Yulun and Shen Yunzhe did not know each other before. The reason they suddenly got together in reality must be because they are both game players.
Under normal circumstances, game players will not communicate in real life, because none of them are good people, and recognizing each other in real life is a troublesome and dangerous thing.
The fact that Shen Yunzhe was able to contact him only meant that Shen Yunzhe thought Li Yuluan was a trustworthy person.
So the authorities went to the scene in a straightforward manner.
But I didn't expect that Li Yuluan was actually a person with special abilities.
This is a big profit!
There are only about ten people with special abilities in the official ranks. This is because the country is vast and has a large population, so even if the proportion is small, some can be picked out. Who would have thought that a person with special abilities could be discovered through Shen Yunzhe, and fortune-telling is actually equivalent to predicting the future.
A person with special abilities that can predict the future!
【You are a person with special abilities. 】
[Huh? What? Special abilities?]
【You can see the reasons for your fate.】
[That's my family fortune-telling technique! ]
Shen Yunzhe stared at this sentence and typed, [Do you dare to ask your father if he can see this destiny? ]
"I don't dare." Li Yiluan answered quickly, "My father has been dead for ten years. Where can I go to ask him? I don't dare ask his ghost."
So, just tell the authorities?
I told them, but they didn't believe me!
Shen Yunzhe laughed out loud.
He is not the only unlucky one in this world. Shen Yunzhe let it go. Alas, he would only feel better when he saw others being persecuted like himself.
Finally, they made an appointment at a place. Li Yuluan insisted on having a face-to-face meeting with him. He was desperate about the officials coming to him one after another. As a new-age fortune teller, although he did not have a Taoist certificate or a monk certificate, he could still be considered a spokesperson for intangible cultural heritage.
It makes him look like a savior, which is strange.
Shen Yunzhe agreed. He still remembered that Codename Hope once said that Li Yulu was very useful.
[You say you hate him, but you remember every word he says.] The system interrupted, [I really don't know whether you hate him or like him.]
"There's a touch of liking in the midst of hate, and there's an uncontrollable hate in the midst of liking." Shen Yunzhe selected the few clothes in his wardrobe and looked at his hair in the mirror while changing. He still remembered that he had decided to grow long hair before. His hair grew quite fast, and in less than a month, it had grown to the length of a finger joint.
"That guy only cheated me about his own preferences, and never lied to me about other things."
Shen Yunzhe combed his hair and said, "Just figure out which one he said for fun and which one he said out of concern for me."
It sounds difficult to judge, but who can blame Shen Yunzhe for being the same person?
Even if you can't figure it out at the time, you will always be able to figure it out after a while. Codename's way of having fun is very strange. All those messy logics and ideas are for fun. Even Shen Yunzhe feels that all his previous risky actions were done for fun.
But once his logic was normal and he really talked to Shen Yunzhe about the problem of the playground, it was almost all true.
Including Li Yuluan.
His eyes never passed over Li Yuluan. If it wasn't a joke, then it had to be true.
After calling up the route to the place agreed with Li Yuluan on his mobile phone, Shen Yunzhe walked to the subway station after leaving the community. The location of this community was very good and it was very close to the subway station, but it took a long time to walk to the subway station. He walked around the unfamiliar subway entrance for a long time and it took him twenty minutes to find the subway entrance.
After entering, Shen Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief. Now he just had to wait for the subway to arrive.
Just then, Shen Yunzhe heard his cell phone ringing.
Shen Yunzhe took out his cell phone and saw that the person calling was Qiao Dong.
"Hello?" Shen Yunzhe answered the phone. "I'm outside."
It means that things that should be kept secret should not be said.
Qiao Dong was silent for a moment, then spoke, "This matter is not about the playground, it's about you."
"About me?"
"First of all, I apologize. We investigated your background without your consent, including your family. I'm not talking about the orphanage, but your biological family. Now we've found something here. I apologize again. This matter should have been your decision."
Shen Yunzhe widened his eyes slightly. "What did you say? My original family?"
"Do you have time to find out?"
Shen Yunzhe almost froze in place. At this moment, the train roared over and the subway door opened in front of him. Shen Yunzhe looked at the door and realized belatedly that the call was disconnected.
Stepping onto the train, Shen Yunzhe found an empty seat and sat down. He lowered his head in silence, thinking about what Qiao Dong said.
Shen Yunzhe actually had a premonition that the authorities would investigate his family.
After all, the codename Xiwang had appeared as his younger brother Shen Yunxi, so it was normal for the authorities to get this name from the residents of the community. Afterwards, it was indeed proved that the authorities knew this name and identity, so they would investigate, but Shen Yunzhe never thought that they could actually find it.
As far as he can remember, he has been living in an orphanage, which is full of other abandoned children like him. He has had no concept of home since he was a child.
The orphanage is not his home, the director is not his relative, and Shen Xinlu is not his family.
He actually lives quite independently, which means he is independent and lonely.
Every child dreams of having his or her own family. Shen Yunzhe also thought about it when he was a child, but unfortunately it was only a childhood.
While Shen Yunzhe was thinking, the train slowly stopped. Shen Yunzhe glanced outside and found that the train had arrived at the next station. The door opened and another group of people got on. Some of them found empty seats, some stood by, and there were several girls who looked like students chatting.
Shen Yunzhe looked up at the subway map and frowned slightly when he saw it.
Because the subway map on the train was a distorted screen, the sound of snowflakes rustling could be heard.
"Ding, the train is moving." Shen Yunzhe heard the horn sound, "Next stop: Train Square."
The boy sitting next to Shen Yunzhe looked up in confusion, "What is the train square? Isn't the next stop Haicheng University? Did I get on the wrong train?"
The boy scratched his hair and said, "Did I really get on the wrong bus?"
Shen Yunzhe looked at him and finally remembered that his phone seemed to be inexplicably disconnected when he got in the car.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the screen. He first called Qiao Dong back, but was prompted that the other party was out of calling range. Shen Yunzhe opened the app again to look at the announcement. The announcement was still the same as before, with nothing new and no surprise easter eggs.
Shen Yunzhe stood up and walked to the car door.
"Are you getting off at the next stop?" a woman asked him. "If you do, can I sit here?"
"Okay." Shen Yunzhe responded.
The train was very fast, and the boy who had just spoken also came over. He stood next to Shen Yunzhe and kept refreshing the screen of his mobile phone, trying to bring up the subway route map, but no matter how he refreshed it, it showed no network. The boy looked at the phone in confusion, and in the end he could only assume that the signal was poor.
Soon the arrival sign lit up, and Shen Yunzhe saw several people standing up and walking to the door waiting to get off.
"Train Arrives: Train Plaza." The arrival signal sounded, "Passengers, please get off the train in an orderly manner."
Everyone was ready to get out of the train, but something unexpected happened. They watched helplessly as the train sped away. Through the doors, they saw people standing outside, but the train showed no sign of stopping. A dead silence fell on the scene, and after a few seconds, someone shouted, "Why don't you stop!"
Ding Dong, the train reminder sound sounded again.
"Ding! The train is moving!" The notification sounded cold and mechanical, but it seemed particularly strange at this moment. "Next stop: Train Square."
Shen Yunzhe looked at the people in the car and suddenly remembered the comments Li Yuluan gave him.
Bad luck is overwhelming, haha.
"What's going on? I want to get off. What's wrong with this train?"
"I don't know. It just reported the same location repeatedly. Maybe there's something wrong."
"It's okay, it's okay. Wait until the next stop. We can't not stop at the next stop."
"The signal is too bad. Doesn't the subway have full signal?"
"I will report it after I get over it!"
Shen Yunzhe leaned against the car door and thought: I may not be able to get out yet.
