Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Tracking
After being depressed for a while, he continued to devote himself to his studies. It happened to be the internship season of his senior year, and he was busy looking for internship companies everywhere, and gradually forgot about this game.
As for the game, no matter how thrilling it is, it cannot affect his real life. After all, he lives in reality, not in the game world.
The internship company that An You found was an overseas trade company. However, because he was an intern, he was only responsible for small translation tasks. He interned like this for half a year. Winter passed and summer came.
As soon as he graduated, An You started looking for a job again. However, he could only find three-piece suits: anchor, salesperson, and waiter. He had no choice but to return to the overseas trading company where he had done his internship. When the boss, Niu Ma, heard that he was going to join the company, he happily put his arm around his shoulders and described a bright future to him.
"Oh, Xiaoyou, I knew you were talented. Trust me, you'll definitely achieve great things in our company. With your abilities, you'll definitely be able to build a successful career."
He didn't know whether he could succeed in his career, but he did know that he was going to be a slave.
The days of being a beast of burden were not as hard as one might imagine. Perhaps this is what people say, you should do what is appropriate for your stage. If you truly accept it, it is not as hard as one might imagine.
In his second year at the company, he became a key member. Later, a young woman came in and would often ask him questions and even treat him to meals. An You didn't understand at first, but he would eat with her. Sometimes the young woman would treat, sometimes he would. But one day, Boss Niu Ma put his arm around his shoulders and winked, "Oh, Xiao You, you've made it. It looks like you've found the right person. I was wondering what to do about your big life event."
"What's the big life event?"
"It's a big deal about marriage. You're a man, you have to get married and start a family. You can't stay single forever. Luckily, you're good-looking, so it's easy for girls to like you."
An You: "Hey, wait, who said I'm getting married?"
Boss: "It's just a matter of time. You and that new girl are very close. I think you two will definitely be together. That girl has a strong liking for you."
An You suddenly felt something was wrong. "Xiao Wang and me? Impossible. She clearly treats me as a good colleague. She often asks me about difficult problems at work."
Boss: "Oh, you unromantic guy, this is just a means to an end. The purpose is to ask you, the purpose is to get closer to you. To get into your heart."
An You: "Enter my heart?"
With this thought in mind, he returned home. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. If it was a normal working relationship, he would definitely be willing to help the other party, but the thought of being with the other party suddenly felt incredible.
An You sat in front of the computer, pondering for a long time, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, the mouse clicked on the game account. He hadn't logged into the game account for a long time. After all, he was no longer the boy who was immersed in games.
I logged into my game account and searched aimlessly for the games I had downloaded.
These were all things I loved in the past, and they made up my youth. Looking at the row of games, I miss those times even more.
Until his eyes moved down and saw a familiar game.
He was quite impressed. The official even gave him a helmet to experience the high-definition images, although the helmet was later soaked in water and could no longer be used.
He was still impressed. He reopened the game interface and looked at the performance of the four familiar people. It felt like many years had passed.
Especially when he saw the young man with blue eyes, he always felt like he had a thousand words to say, but he soon felt a little conflicted.
He couldn't tell whether it was a game or reality for a moment.
The time I spent with Scotland suddenly disappeared like bubbles. If I didn’t have a clear memory of it, I might have forgotten it completely.
Anyou has conducted investigations and research over the years and found that other users' experiences are completely different from his.
He also tried to buy other helmets, but the scenes he entered were completely different. It was obviously a virtual world.
When he first learned that he might have entered the real world through the first helmet, he fell into a trance and didn't know what would happen in the end.
How is Scotland? How is the Black Organization?
However, these confusions ultimately turned into his life experience, nothing more.
As time goes by, no matter how unforgettable the regret is, it will be forgotten completely.
Once when he was talking to overseas clients, he happened to have a few more words with a client from Tokyo, Japan.
The customer replied, "May I have your name?"
【Just call me Anyou. 】
[Impossible, how could your name be this?]
An You was a little confused. [Even if the sky falls, I will still call you An You!]
The other party immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to doubt you, I'm just a little surprised."
An You: [Why?]
Customer: [I had a very good friend with the same name.]
An You perfunctorily replied: [There are quite a lot of people with the same name as mine.]
Maybe.
Before he could finish, An You prepared to go off work and wait for the next National Day holiday.
However, the day before the holiday, he suddenly received a call from his boss. His cattle and horse boss on the other end of the phone tried to dissuade him, "Hey, Anyou, well, there's a batch of goods overseas that our employer is not very satisfied with. We need someone to explain it to them."
An You: "Oh, you're not satisfied, then why are you looking for me?"
Boss Niuma: [You may not believe this, but you are the only one I trust the most. It would be great if you could accept the assignment.]
An You's voice suddenly became louder: [Outbound assignment? Me? I'm not familiar with the place, and you want me to go?]
Boss Niuma slowly tried to dissuade him: "Hey, you're our right-hand man. Without you, who else in our company can handle this?"
An You finally had no choice but to agree.
What else can I say.
After buying a ticket to Tokyo, An You got on the plane.
After arriving at the airport, he received an unfamiliar message on his phone from his employer in Tokyo, asking if he had arrived.
Out of politeness, An You replied, "I'm here."
Unexpectedly, the other party replied faster than he could have imagined, and asked him again, "Where are you now? Do you have enough money?"
An You patiently replied, "I just got off the plane. It's enough. Don't worry."
In fact, I am really annoyed behind my back. I don’t know where this employer came from who likes to meddle in other people’s affairs.
It was already midnight when we landed at the airport. An You dragged her suitcase and walked along the alley in the quiet night.
The city of Tokyo was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard. An You had already booked a hotel online, planning to rest first, travel around the place for a few days to see the scenery, and then go back to work.
An elongated figure appeared under the shadow of the street lamp, and footsteps were approaching behind him. An You suddenly became nervous and realized that someone was following him.
When An You walked fast, the other person would also walk fast. When he slowed down, the other person would also slow down, as if they were deliberately following him.
It was a robbery, following him late at night.
An You quickly hid in the night and squatted next to a car, using the car to hide herself. No footsteps were heard, which was good, meaning that the person had left.
An You took a deep breath and headed back towards the hotel.
I checked into the hotel safely.
Naturally, he didn't notice the blue figure who entered the hotel with him. The man stared at his back for a long time, so long that the waiter began to urge him, "Sir, do you want to check in?"
The blue figure said hoarsely, "Of course. The room he checked into is right next to the guest just now."
The waiter was a little confused, but he did as he was told.
After a busy day, An You gradually forgot about being followed after taking a rest.
He rested until the afternoon before getting out of bed. As soon as he touched his cell phone, he received a message from a customer asking him where he was, whether he needed help, and whether he wanted to stay with him for a while.
An You suspected that the other person was harassing him. He was so annoyed that he couldn't help himself and finally chose to read the message without replying.
Then he went out to eat. For some reason, he always felt like someone was following him. The feeling of being stared at was particularly strong.
An You looked around again and didn't see any suspicious people, which was strange.
After dinner, strolling in the city at night, An You found that everything here seemed familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember what was familiar about it. He always had the illusion that he had been there a long time ago.
After much thought, he finally realized that the scene here was similar to the one in the game, and it was unexpectedly quite realistic.
When An You came to a scenic spot similar to the one in his memory again, he couldn't help but stay a little longer and rested in the park for a while.
After a while, I felt someone was watching me again, "Who, who is around here, don't hide."
There were few people in the park, and although he didn't see anyone else, he just felt uncomfortable all over, as if someone was staring at him.
An You walked to the edge of the grass to check, but didn't see any strange group of people. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, his mouth was covered with a towel. The other party approached silently, catching him off guard, and he was stopped from calling for help.
An You inhaled the drug-containing gas into her mouth and fainted, falling into the arms of the man behind her.
When he came to his senses, he realized what he had done. The person lying in his arms was ironing his arm, making him a little dazed for a moment.
After a brief dizziness, An You woke up from her coma.
It was pitch black, still pitch black. His vision was so dark that he couldn't see anything. The only thing he could hear was the sound of dripping water, which was particularly obvious.
His eyes were covered and he couldn't see clearly what was around him.
An You groped around and found that he seemed to be in a secret room. Panic rose in his heart. He was kidnapped, and in a public place.
This realization made him panic.
As soon as An You moved, he felt a pair of hands holding him. Those hands were soft but covered with calluses. They stroked his cheeks, making him hesitate between tenderness and fear in an instant.
Who is by his side.
The owner of those hands pinched his face affectionately.
"Who are you and why did you bring me here?"
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just haven't seen you for a long time and I can't control myself."
An You frowned, "What do you mean, you know me? I don't know anyone here."
Opposite: "Don't you remember me? I'm an old friend of yours."
An You laughed heartily, "Don't be ridiculous. I've never been here before. I'm unfamiliar with the place, so how can I meet an old friend?"
"It's okay if you don't remember. Let me take a good look at you."
A pair of hands stroked his cheek again, the movements were so gentle that An You got goose bumps all over his body. If he guessed correctly, the person opposite him should be a man.
A man he had never met hugged him and started to touch him, saying that they were old acquaintances. He didn't even know how to lie, but he still wanted to take advantage of him.
An You turned her face away and refused to let the other person touch her.
The man did not continue, but went out. From the sound, it seemed that he opened the door. So he was in the other person's house. He was worried that he would find out where he lived, so he didn't let him see it.
After a while, a hard object was passed to his mouth. An You used his tongue to explore it and found that it was a spoon. What was passed to him seemed to be rice porridge. An You resisted with his tongue, "I don't want to drink it."
The man advised gently, "Eat a little. It's not good to be hungry."
An You: "I don't have an appetite right now."
"That's fine. It's late now. Let's rest."
As he spoke, the other person laid him down on the soft ground behind him, and then he realized that he was in the other person's bedroom.
Then a pair of arms wrapped around him and completely enveloped him.
Chest against chest, tightly embracing and accepting him, giving him a familiar feeling.
"You're not asleep, are you? What are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering if I had any old friends."
The other party's voice suddenly became very soft, "Do you remember?"
An You: "I don't remember. But once I call the police, you'll be dead."
A soft mist sprayed near his ear. The other person leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "It's okay. You have plenty of time, and I will always be patient with you."
An You suddenly got goosebumps all over her body, and her originally arrogant voice trembled a little. "Who are you? I really don't know any friends far away in Tokyo. This is my first time here. I've been to Tokyo except in the game."
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. It's been so long after all. Go to sleep."
A pair of hands soothed the back of his neck, kneading it gently, coaxing him to sleep. Although An You resisted with his whole body, he could not refuse this warmth and gradually fell asleep.
He woke up very early, perhaps remembering that the environment was not safe.
As soon as An You woke up, she felt around, but didn't feel any familiar figure. The bedside was cold. An You guessed that the other person should have left here temporarily.
An You's hands and feet were tied with ropes, making it impossible for her to walk. She inquired about the surroundings and only knew that the robbers should have left.
The rope on the wrist is not complicated. Fortunately, An You seems to have learned the relevant skills in a certain game. Although it was just prepared to make the game smoother at that time, he didn't expect it to really become a skill of his.
An You untied the rope and took off the blindfold. After regaining her sight, An You began to look around the room.
It was obvious that this was a bedroom, a place that had never been visited before and was now unguarded.
An You was delighted that she could go out. As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into a man's arms.
The other person was wearing a blue hood and a black mask, with half of his face almost completely hidden under the brim of the hat. An You always felt that this outfit looked familiar.
For a moment, he forgot to rush out the door and instead took off his mask.
Those familiar blue eyes immediately brought him back to the deep sea of memory. What a familiar person.
Surprised: "You are Scotland!"
The other party did not continue to dodge, but took off his hood, "It's me, I see you still remember me."
An You: "As soon as I saw your eyes, I knew it was you, but why are you here? Have you always been the one who kidnapped me?"
Scotland's smile faded. "That's true. Do you hate me?"
An You shook her head. "It seems Scotland didn't do anything to me, but I still find it a little unbelievable. I thought I was dreaming. It turns out the game is real, and you are real too."
Scotland: "Of course I'm real. I thought you wouldn't recognize me when we met again."
An You: "How could that be? You are Scotland, my best friend."
Scotland, "I don't want to be just friends. I want to go deeper into our relationship. I don't want to lose you. If you don't want me to, you can leave now before I regret it and never show up in front of me again."
Scotland turned his back, as if determined to drive him away. An You turned in front of him and said, "I didn't say I was leaving."
"It's true that I like you, but I always feel like I know too little about your identity."
Scotland's eyes lit up, "You mean, you like me."
An You: "Yes, after I left the organization, I often wondered if there was something wrong with my thinking. Maybe I don't hate being with you."
Scotland: "You're serious, right?"
An You: “Yeah.”
Scotland hugged him tighter, "I thought I'd never see you again, never be able to be with you again."
An You rubbed his shoulder, "Not really. It's fate that we can meet again. I won't be as timid as I was back then."
Scotland chuckled, "No, you've always been very brave, but you didn't realize some things, just like I wasn't brave enough to pursue you. Now that I'm old, I wonder if you'll despise me."
An You carefully observed Scotland's face. He was indeed no longer young. "Wait a minute, how old are you now?"
Scotland took his hand and stroked his stubble, "As you can see, I'm already twenty-nine, and you seem to be the same as before."
An You: "Of course, I'm only 22, still young. Wait, you're 29 now. I remember there wasn't much of a gap between us before. What happened in between?"
Scotland pulled him over, held him in his arms, and sat on the sofa. An You did not refuse.
"You may not know this, but after my identity was discovered by the organization, I hid in the countryside of Kyoto. A year later, when I was safe, I returned to Tokyo in disguise. I tried to contact you, but there was no news. I also visited your villa, but it had already been sold. Out of curiosity, I went to investigate, and found that from the Black Organization's perspective, you had disappeared without a trace."
An You shook her head. "I'm not missing. I've actually returned to my real world. I won't see you again after this."
Scotland smiled bitterly, "I know. I've been investigating the truth for years, and only then did I realize that you were a treasure given to me by God, destined to be fleeting."
"Then how did you find me?"
Scotland: "The Black Organization has been looking for you, so I followed their trail and secretly investigated. Later, I accidentally learned that there is something in Yokohama called a book. It can realize the reality written in it."
"In order to obtain this item, the Black Organization secretly established their own forces in Yokohama. However, I also discovered the book by accident. It was in the hands of a man wrapped in bandages. When he learned that I was trying to find you, he helped me. He also said that our world is not connected to yours. Only the network can connect us temporarily. The only way is for you to come here on your own initiative."
An You: "That's why I was tricked into coming to Tokyo."
Scotland: "Hahaha, you could think of it that way."
An You: "Scotland, you've really learned bad habits."
The blue-haired young man paused. "There's one more thing I haven't told you. My real name is Zhufu Jingguang, and Scotland is just my code name."
An You: "Hmm? Zhufu, I seem to have heard this last name somewhere before. Do you know Zhufu Gaoming?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained composure. "Where have you heard of this name?"
An You: "During the organization period, I was eager to go out and explore the secrets of the Buddha statue. The location was in Nagano Prefecture, and I encountered it."
Zhu Fujingguang: "That's my brother."
An You was surprised: "What a coincidence! I thought he looked like you, but of course your temperaments are different."
Zhu Fujingguang: "My brother and I rarely contact each other and we hardly see each other. I didn't expect to meet you. But it's also a kind of luck."
An You: "Your brother is indeed a pretty good person."
Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned slightly and quickly changed the subject, "That's true, but compared to all this, how have you been these years?"
An You: "I'm fine. Anyway, I feel much more comfortable than in the organization. After all, the world I live in is a peaceful world."
Zhu Fu Jingguang pinched his face and said, "You, maybe it's good to be safe like this, without having to face any pain. I still feel that life in the organization is not suitable for you."
An You: "Although it's not suitable for me, but Su, ah, when Jing Guang is here, I still feel very happy."
Zhu Fujingguang smiled and said, "It's great that you think so."
"By the way, is the place I'm at now your home?"
Zhu Fu Jingguang: "This is my residence. The decoration is not yet complete. I don't know if you like it."
An You: "I like it very much, mainly because the places you chose are all very cozy."
Zhu Fujingguang smiled gently, "By the way, I bought some vegetables and prepared to make lunch for you."
"Yeah."
