Chapter 122
Codename Hope got out of the car, he looked around with a little smile in his eyes.
The old woman asked him to catch up quickly. Code Name Hope tilted his head, and the old woman's figure was reflected in his silver eyes.
He asked, "Are there any cigarettes?"
"Ah?" the old woman asked in confusion.
"I came out to buy cigarettes. If I don't have any when I return, I'll get scolded," Codename Hope explained aggrievedly. "You have to give me cigarettes before I can go in."
A vein bulged on the old woman's thin forehead. She wanted to curse, but she knew that she could neither hit nor scold the man in front of her. It was already against the rules to scare him in the car. After all, he was a precious talent no matter which side he was in. Everyone wanted to know whether Shen Wei's research was on Shen Yunzhe.
In fact, they had already acquiesced. After all, Shen Yunzhe had passed the five game fields so easily and possessed some abilities that had never been seen before, which showed that he had extraordinary abilities.
It must be that Shen Wei left something for him.
The old woman picked up a rock and threw it at the man next to her, the driver from the car. She glared at him and said, "Give him the cigarette!"
That person was even more aggrieved than Codename Hope, muttering quietly, "My cigarettes are so precious."
"Let the chief reimburse you!"
The man then reluctantly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and put the cigarettes in Codename Hope's outstretched hand. Codename Hope looked at the pack of cigarettes. Of course, he didn't recognize the brand, but having cigarettes was enough. He put the cigarettes into the pocket of his hospital gown with satisfaction, and then stretched out his hand again.
The man clutched his pocket in horror, "Why do you still want another box? It's gone!"
"Lighter," said Codename Hope. "Also, keep your voice down. I hate noise."
"Got it?"
The man was stunned. He didn't know why he felt an extreme sense of threat at that moment, but when he turned around, he saw 'Shen Yunzhe' in front of him with a smile on his face. He looked innocent and pitiful, and didn't look like the type who would hurt anyone.
He took out a lighter and put it in Code Name Hope's hand, then turned around and walked away while scratching his hair strangely.
"It's really a ghost..."
Seeing that Codename Hope was satisfied, he was finally willing to follow. The old woman opened a small door, walked into the small door, took out a photo album, pressed her fingerprint on the back of the album, and the next moment a door opened in the room. Codename Hope looked at the door curiously.
"Let's go."
This is the elevator. It goes down quickly and soon reaches the underground. This is the branch of this area.
Yes, this is just a branch at best.
Their methods seemed so stupid, but they didn't seem to be really stupid. At least they knew not to take Shen Yunzhe to the most important headquarters, and it would be best to take him to a less important branch nearby.
Codename Hope followed them and asked, "Do you really know where Shen Wei is?"
"That's right. After meeting us, Chen Wei was very supportive of our theory. However, due to his official status, he was unable to research with us. Later, he faked his death and left the official team to join us." The old woman replied as she walked, "It was I, an old woman, who brought him in at the time."
"Really?" Codename Hope narrowed his eyes slightly, "But why did I hear that Shen Wei's research theory is inconsistent with yours?"
"The authorities are lying to you. They just want to keep you here. You've been to the playground before, don't you know how terrifying it is?" The old woman glared at Shen Yunzhe. "When it comes to protecting the safety of the majority, our theory is better. At least it won't kill everyone."
Codename Hope raised an eyebrow, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and he understood what kind of organization this was.
Codename Hope regrets joining the official organization, but that doesn't mean he joined in vain. He also knows about this organization, or it can be said that a considerable number of people have invaded the official organization a long time ago and have taken deep roots in the official organization over the past 20 years. Their philosophy is also to save people, but unlike the official organization that deals with the playground, their theory is to let humans and the playground coexist.
Because they concluded in their research: just as humans cannot cut off their negative emotions, the playground cannot be cleaned up.
The playground will always be there, and only resistance will lead to destruction.
They planned the coexistence of humans and the playground, experimented with how long humans could survive in the playground, and even prepared to build a dungeon inside the playground.
In other words: they are ready to become grandchildren after the playground completely erodes the world, and hand over the entire world to the playground.
The authorities do not agree with their ideas and do not think that the playground is a natural disaster. Natural disasters are a kind of natural disaster that will bring them both benefits and harms. The playground is a pure villain. They cannot give up their home and live in the dark underground.
What does that look like?!
The fact that Codename Hope will be put into the small black box is also closely related to them. After all, this is a way to slow down the spread of the gaming field, which is very beneficial to both the official and them.
"Shen Yunzhe, you have to trust us."
Codename Hope looked at her and smiled, "But the live broadcast system of the game field has disappeared."
The old woman was silent. She looked at Codename Hope for a moment before speaking, "So I want you to tell us, how did you do it?"
"What did Shen Wei leave you? Why were you able to make the live broadcast system of the game field disappear?"
"Shen Yunzhe, tell us!"
Codename Hope admired her anxious expression, "You have to tell me where Chen Wei is first, otherwise I'll tell you but get nothing in return, which would be a big loss."
The old woman frowned. She also knew that haste makes waste, so she turned and walked to the table in front. She opened the drawer and handed a photo to Code Name Hope.
The photo shows a young man wearing a beige coat, sitting at this table and this chair. He is wearing black-framed glasses and looking at the camera expressionlessly. His eyebrows and eyes are extremely similar to Shen Yunzhe. It is because Qiao Dong and his group are new official members that they did not realize the relationship between Shen Yunzhe and Shen Wei.
Codename Hope flipped over the photo and saw a date on the back, which was about fifteen years ago.
Wow, that's been a long time.
In fact, Codename Xiwang doesn't know Shen Wei at all. After all, his father's name is not Shen Wei, and none of his relatives is named Shen Wei. When he saw this photo, he didn't have any other thoughts except sighing that he and Shen Yunzhe look very similar. He really didn't know Shen Wei's situation.
He was just saying it casually just now, and he was prepared to be exposed.
When Codename wanted to see the photos, the old woman's cell phone rang and she took out her phone to take a look.
[The mysterious player's information was intercepted from the official: long silver hair and silver eyes, the same appearance as Shen Yunzhe. He looks exactly like Shen Yunzhe!]
The old woman suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Code Hope in front of her, but at that moment she felt someone in front of her. Code Hope was standing less than half a meter away from her and holding her mobile phone.
"What are you looking at?" Codename Hope asked her in a very soft voice, "Can you show it to me?"
"You, you, you are not..."
"What am I not?" Codename hoped to pull the hand out of her hand, with excitement in his eyes, "Are you saying I'm not Shen Yunzhe? I never said I was Shen Yunzhe."
The old woman turned around and tried to run, but she fell directly to the ground. She screamed in pain, and her old arms and legs could not withstand the fall.
Codename Hope didn't care about that. He stepped on her hand and said, "Hey, where do you want to go?"
“Ah!!” The old woman screamed, and black smoke came out of her hand. The burning pain made her try hard to pull her hand back, but Codename Hope stepped on it very hard, and she could only feel the stinging pain like burning fire, “My hand, my hand!!”
Codename Hope squatted down, with the weight of her entire body on her feet. She was in so much pain that she couldn't scream and could only twitch continuously.
"Let me tell you a secret. Actually, I can not only hurt strange objects, but also people if I want to. After all, I have been in that place for more than 20 years and have been affected by it." Codename Hope looked at her happily as she opened her mouth but could not make a sound.
He hates noise, so this is for the best.
"I didn't really care about the dispute between you and the authorities. In the end, you couldn't hold on any longer. The world should be destroyed, destroyed, disappeared. Sending me to that place would have been a big deal. I'd still die completely anyway. I don't really want to take revenge on you at all."
"But who told you to target Shen Yunzhe again?"
Codename Hope murmured, "I actually still really want him to come in and keep me company. If I tell him, he'll definitely get mad. He doesn't like it there."
"I don't like it either, but I can't leave it, so I want Shen Yunzhe to come in and keep me company."
"But it seems like I can leave now with some effort." Codename Hope said, "Then we can't let you guys attack Shen Yunzhe. What if Shen Yunzhe gets hurt? If he gets angry, I'll be the one who gets hurt. He already despises me. I'm not even as good as the doll in his closet."
"Isn't it super abominable!"
The person being stepped on couldn't even roll her eyes. She was twitching nervously, her eyes blurred and unfocused.
Codename Hope let go of her feet in disgust, "Alright, there's no point in talking to you. I'm going back to find Shen Yunzhe!"
"This photo is a gift to Shen Yunzhe!"
After saying that, Code Name Hope stuffed the photo into his pocket like a little kid, put it together with the cigarette he had just smoked, and then left humming a song. As soon as he walked out of the elevator, Code Name Hope raised his head. Countless guns seemed to be pointed at him, but also seemed not to be pointed at him.
"Shen Yunzhe!" Codenamed Hope rushed towards those guns, scaring the professionals holding the guns so much that they hurriedly put them away.
If the gun accidentally goes off and injures someone, they will be in big trouble.
Shen Yunzhe looked helplessly at Codename Hope who threw herself on him, "Are you okay?"
"Ah?" Codename Hope blinked. He and Shen Yunzhe stared at each other for three seconds, then his eyes immediately turned red. He acted aggrieved and acted like a spoiled child in his arms, "Shen Yunzhe, they beat me!"
"Shen Yunzhe, I took the beating for you, you have to compensate me!"
"Shen Yunzhe, it hurts!"
Shen Yunzhe sighed, "Can you tell me a lie next time that I can believe? Who could hit you? And who are you to allow someone to hit you?"
Codename Hope immediately stopped crying and looked at Shen Yunzhe happily as if nothing had happened. "Shen Yunzhe, were you worried when you heard I was arrested? Did your heartbeat speed up when you heard I was beaten just now?"
"No."
"It's so sad. You don't love me. You only like your own doll!" Codename Hope accused.
The accusation of Codename Hope was not a big problem. Soon Shen Yunzhe received the news that the area was completely under control. Shen Yunzhe was among the first group to get off the elevator. As soon as he got off, he saw an old man lying on the ground and had fainted. Shen Yunzhe turned around and looked at Codename Hope.
Codename Hope turned his head for a second, as if studying the pattern on the ceiling.
"Didn't you say you were beaten?"
"Yes, I fought back when I was beaten. It was self-defense." Codename Hope said seriously, "Who knew she was so fragile? She fell down just by my defense."
The person next to him was preparing to take the unconscious old man away with an expressionless face, as serious as a statue.
This so-called branch is not big and looks like an abandoned branch. Almost everything inside has been disposed of, leaving only an empty hall.
Just then Shen Yunzhe heard the notification tone of his cell phone.
He turned around and saw a mobile phone on the ground. Shen Yunzhe walked over and picked it up.
"It's hers," Codename Hope said. "I pulled it out of her hand and just threw it here."
Shen Yunzhe nodded, and signaled to the people next to him not to take the old man away. He walked over and used the old man's fingerprint to open the mobile phone interface. Shen Yunzhe looked at the message sent from the other side. The first record was the appearance characteristics of the code-named Hope. It was probably because of this Hope that he took action.
Continuing to scroll down, Shen Yunzhe saw more information.
[Old man, hurry up, the authorities have noticed us.]
[I must ask about the complete disappearance of the live broadcast system, even if it is a threat.]
[To make him more convinced, I have prepared some subtle videos. You can show them to him, but don't show them all to him.]
【video. 】
Shen Yunzhe watched the video being transmitted. He clicked on the video, and the next moment the video was enlarged on the entire screen.
A young man is sitting on a chair and the camera is facing him.
"Chen Wei, we have spent three months, and no matter what we say, you are still like this. You don't deny our theory, but you also don't admit that our theory is correct."
"Chen Wei, even if you think both sides have their reasons, you shouldn't choose one side. You can work for both the official and us at the same time. Whether it's the official or us, there's only one thing we want you to do, and that's to research the playground."
"I'm sorry about your wife. I just wanted to show you our research results, but I didn't expect her to look at your phone."
"Chen Wei, tell us your research results, and I am willing to be buried with your wife."
The young man didn't say anything. He looked at the camera expressionlessly, without a trace of anger in his eyes. He looked at the camera, but it seemed as if he was not looking at anything, or he was looking through the camera at something that no normal person could see.
"Chen Wei! What on earth do you want?!"
Shen Wei finally spoke. He said the first sentence in the video. His voice was hoarse, as if he was crying blood.
"You get nothing."
The video suddenly stopped and the page returned to the chat history.
"Is he still alive?" Codename Hope placed his chin on Shen Yunzhe's shoulder as usual, declaring his ownership in this way like a puppy. "Look, if the other side doesn't want to kill him, he might not be dead yet."
Shen Yunzhe watched the video and said, "The possibility is not high."
"If he were really alive, these people shouldn't have come looking for me, but instead continued to torture him. I can barely be considered his only weakness."
"Okay." Codename Hope sighed regretfully, "Shen Yunzhe, are you in a bad mood?"
"I don't know, maybe." Shen Yunzhe said, "I've always thought that people shouldn't be sad about things they haven't experienced. It only adds to the sadness. But now I find that after encountering this kind of thing, I also feel sad for no reason."
"Why?"
Shen Yunzhe looked at Codename Hope, "It's like there's a chance you wouldn't have entered that little black box, the friends you knew wouldn't have died, and your world would still be the same as before."
"Everything is the best choice, everything is the best outcome."
"Impossible." Codename Hope closed his eyes and whispered softly, a smile on his lips, as if comforting but also mocking, "No one can always choose the best path, but it doesn't matter if you choose the wrong one."
"Look, even if I made the wrong choice, I still met you, and you found me, didn't you?"
