Chapter 384 Game Updates
Shen Maomao was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold the phone.
Shen Wenwu is gone?
She quickly asked again: "What about Ren Yue? Do you remember her?"
"Ren Yue...? Is it your high school classmate? I don't seem to have heard you mention this name... I really can't remember it."
"It's okay, I just asked casually." Shen Maomao was a little restless, and after chatting with Shen's mother for a few more words, he hung up the phone.
She wanted to share the situation with Lou Jingmo, but the rented car had already parked in front of her, so she could only put these thoughts to the bottom of her heart, opened the door and got in the car.
The car was driving on the small road in Zhaojia Village, and the scenery outside the window formed a line.The black land is covered with white snow, and the raised ridges are neatly arranged, which has a unique aesthetic feeling.
This is the place where Peng Xiaorui lived, but now, the traces of her existence have disappeared...
She once heard a saying that a person has to experience two deaths in his life, one is physical death, and the second is called social death, which means that the last person who remembers her forgets her, so she starts from the spiritual When it reaches the flesh | body, it will completely disappear.
Although they still remember Peng Xiaorui, to Peng Xiaorui, they are just strangers.In the eyes of those closest to her, she has been dead for many years, so long that even her mother will not have much emotional fluctuations when she mentions her death.
Besides Peng Xiaorui, there are also her cousin and Ren Yue—is it all the dead players who have problems, or did she just meet these few?
What kind of energy does the confession game have, that it can tamper with the memories of so many people and forcefully erase a person's existence?
And why hasn't this happened before?How has the game changed?
Everything is still a mystery.
……
After more than an hour of staggering, they finally left Zhaojia Village and returned to the city center.
It was getting late, and the earliest flight was the next morning, so the two found a hotel and planned to rest for a night before going to Jiangcheng to find out the story of Zhang Xiao and the three of them.
After taking a hot bath, Shen Maomao dried her hair and got into Lou Jingmo's arms: "Sister Lou... why do you think this happened?"
Lou Jingmo hugged her and said, "I contacted Shang Zhou and asked him to investigate."
Shen Maomao said speechlessly: "You are quite good at calling people."
Lou Jingmo: "It's not for nothing. They have a lot of people, so they should care more about the outcome of things than we do."
Shen Maomao thought so, so he put this matter behind him first, and continued to browse their school's forums on his mobile phone, looking for posts related to jumping off buildings, stealing things, and asthma.
Under her blanket search, she really found a few posts from several years ago. The topic of the post was the top ten strange stories of the Humanities College. Two of the replies caught her attention. One was about the fifth floor of the Humanities College. A girl once died in the women's toilet. The girl was locked in the cubicle with a mop, and later died of an asthma attack. Since then, the door of that cubicle can't be opened often, and it scared the two girls crazy. Later, it was simply changed to a storage room, which is usually locked; the other one talked about jumping off a building to protect the research institute, which was not much different from the post she saw in the game, but there were only three girls living in that dormitory, and one of them jumped. Lou, one of them kept the graduate school of the school, and the other didn't say anything about it, both of them are students of the 03 class.
The posting reply time is [-], and it has been more than ten years now, and it has already sunk to the bottom, and it is all due to her digging the grave to dig it out.
She calculated in her mind that the students in 03 graduated in 07 and entered the first year of graduate school in 08, so as long as she can find the list of 08 graduate students majoring in humanities at their school, it will be fine.
She contacted their counselor without any hope.
When she was in school, she was not the kind of outstanding student, neither active nor outstanding, just like a happy idiot, now she suddenly finds a tutor, I'm afraid she will have to think about who Shen Maomao is for a long time.
After sending the message, the instructor didn't reply. Shen Maomao put down his phone, hugged his girlfriend tightly, and leaned over to look at her screen: "How is it? Any news?"
Lou Jingmo generously let her see: "He said he needed to make statistics on the situation, and he would reply to me the next morning."
Shen Maomao said quietly: "I can't figure it out no matter how much I think about it. I always feel that the game is going to have some kind of conspiracy and tricks, and my heart has never been able to realize it."
Lou Jingmo said: "I think it's the game's pity for the players."
mercy?
Lou Jingmo patted her repeatedly: "Osamu Dazai once said a word in "No Man in the World": Death is all but the living are the most painful."
Shen Maomao: "The old net has suppressed the clouds."
Lou Jingmo continued: "I'm sorry for eating people raw."
Shen Maomao: "Okay, stop telling ghost stories, I understand what you mean."
Not all players are widowed kings like Lou Jingmo, for example, if something happens to her, Lou Jingmo and her parents will be the most saddened.If the game is clearing away the social traces of dead players...their loved ones will no longer be saddened by their death, or even forget about the person.
From this perspective, the game makers seem to be doing good things?
wrong!
This is the conspiracy!
If it weren't for this broken game, these people wouldn't have died!
Rubbish games, definitely want to use this method to clean up the whitewashing, let the players collectively suffer from Stockholm, and feel grateful to the game creator while going through the danger of the dungeon, isn't it cool?
She, Shen Maomao, is the contemporary detective Sherlock Holmes!
After listening to her thoughts, Lou Jingmo was silent for three seconds, and then said with difficulty: "I think... what you said is not unreasonable."
Shen Maomao: "Yes, I think..."
Lou Jingmo: "We have to catch a plane tomorrow morning, let's go to bed quickly, or it will be dawn if we don't sleep."
Shen Maomao: "Don't you want to listen to me? Do you think I'm annoying?"
Lou Jingmo: "Hoo-hoo-hoo-"
Shen Maomao was so angry that she punched her hard through the quilt.
Lou Jingmo remained unmoved, and snored a little louder.
Such obvious perfunctory and disgust made Shen Maomao quite sad.She wrapped herself into a bean roll, turned her back to Lou Jingmo, and got angry. She couldn't open her eyes within 2 minutes of giving birth, and her breathing became heavy.
After a long time, after making sure that she was asleep, Lou Jingmo turned around, took apart the little bean roll, put her in his arms, and turned off the bedside lamp with his hand.
The hotel room was plunged into darkness, she slowly lowered her head, and placed a silent kiss on Shen Maomao's forehead, then rested her chin on the place where she just kissed, and closed her eyes.
It was already the next morning when I woke up again.
The sky was bright, and Shen Maomao was covered in sweat. After opening his eyes, he realized that Lou Jingmo was not by his side.
She took out her phone in a daze, and opened the social software to read the news on it.
At the top is what Lou Jingmo sent to her, telling her that she was going to buy food, and let her stay on her own.
The fish's memory made her completely forget what happened last night. She long pressed the voice and replied "Trojan horse", then continued to look down and read what others had replied to her.
Except for Lou Jingmo, there are some groups on which she has set no reminder messages. After searching for a while, she found that her counselor actually replied: [What's the matter with this?If you have a clear reason, I can ask for you] Shen Maomao instantly sobered up.
She didn't know how to respond at all.
Do you want to say: I suspect that there was a student in the Baoyan Research Institute who was suspected of intentional injury or even murder, so I want a list to check the situation?
Does she live in the Pacific Ocean? It's that wide?
And it has been more than ten years, that person should have graduated long ago, so what if she is found out?
Thinking of this, Shen Maomao's enthusiasm immediately dissipated a lot.
With the idea of breaking the jar, she said to the instructor: [I only found out recently that I have a distant sister who used to be in the Chinese Department of our school, but she jumped off the building before the postgraduate entrance examination in her senior year. The other person was recommended for graduate school because of this, so I want to inquire about the situation]
This time the guide replied quickly: [Did you post too much [doubts], if you are talking about the incident more than ten years ago, I still have a little impression.At that time, this incident was quite a big one. The girl who jumped from the building couldn't think about it because she had AIDS, and it had nothing to do with her roommate.Moreover, her roommate relied on her own Daiso project to guarantee her graduate studies. Later, halfway through her graduate studies, she dropped out of school for some reason.You are not young anymore, you have to learn to judge the truth of things by yourself, don't listen to the nonsense in the post bar, they just use this kind of words to attract people's attention; and don't go crooked for the sake of securing a research spot, it's better to be a human being One step at a time is more practical. If you have any thoughts in your heart, you can talk to me. My office is at 130. If you are embarrassed, you can talk to me on WeChat. I will reply you when I see it]
Shen Maomao was quite touched, but she guessed that the instructor regarded her as the student she was leading now, so she explained: [No, no, I didn’t want to do anything wrong, the instructor I just graduated, I just want to know more about it out of curiosity Sorry for the situation [Rose]]
The counselor replied: [No trouble, I will be the teacher’s child [Rose] after graduation, let me ask the teacher in the office for you]
Shen Maomao hurriedly thanked him.
Later, the instructor didn't reply. She looked down and no one else was looking for her. Instead, she saw the small group in their dormitory.
She hesitated for a second, clicked in and took a look, and found that the number of group members had changed to (3).
There are only three people.
Ren Yue...disappeared.
At the beginning, because the other two people didn't leave the group, she just blocked the group and stopped paying attention, so she didn't know when Ren Yue disappeared.
She sighed, not feeling sorry for Ren Yue, but melancholy about her confused future, not knowing what to do.
After a while, Lou Jingmo came back with breakfast, snow-white buns, steaming soy milk, and a bowl of fragrant wontons.
Shen Maomao instantly left behind the confused road ahead, and went to pick it up barefoot, but was stopped by Lou Jingmo: "Put on the slippers for me."
She followed suit like a little daughter-in-law, and then sat on a chair and watched helplessly as she arranged the food in a row in disposable lunch boxes.
Lou Jingmo waved and said, "Go over and wash your hands."
"Oh." Shen Maomao ran to the bathroom again.
After washing her hands, she returned to the chair again, like a kitten waiting for a meal, with "I'm hungry" written all over her face.
Lou Jingmo couldn't help laughing, opened the bag of wontons, then broke open a pair of chopsticks and stuffed them into Shen Maomao's hands: "Eat, I specially gave you the wontons you asked for, with extra seaweed and dried shrimp added."
Shen Maomao smiled until his eyes narrowed: "Sister Lou, you still love me!"
Lou Jingmo rolled his eyes.
Shen Maomao picked up a pair of wontons with chopsticks, put them in his mouth and blew, then handed the chopsticks to Lou Jingmo: "Ah——"
Lou Jingmo ate the wonton with dignity.
Only then did Shen Maomao start eating by herself, and while eating, she told her what her counselor said, and finally concluded: "I don't think we need to go to Jiangcheng. If there is news, the counselor should tell me."
Lou Jingmo: "Then what are you waiting for if you don't refund the ticket? My sister's money is not what makes you lose like this."
Shen Maomao gave her a blank look, and refunded the air ticket bought yesterday.
She ate a few mouthfuls of wontons, and then began to crave Lou Jingmo's steamed buns, but she just stared at the steamed stuffed buns without saying a word.
Lou Jingmo squinted at her: "Give it to me."
Shen Maomao smiled like a flower, and pushed the wonton towards her.
In the end, Lou Jingmo took care of the rest of her meal.
After eating, Shen Maomao consciously went to clean up the garbage. Lou Jingmo sat on the bed and watched her move back and forth like an ADHD, and said, "Shangzhou's investigation results are out."
"Huh? How is it?"
"According to their statistics, about half a month ago, all the dead players they knew were all wiped out. The degree of being wiped out has no rules. The game seems to be evolving."
Shen Maomao: "Hearing what you said, I am more convenient."
Lou Jingmo: "What on your side? Anyway, you won't die."
Shen Maomao didn't dare to promise: "I can't say for sure..."
Lou Jingmo's face sank: "You will not die."
Shen Maomao was taken aback by her expression, but she knew that Lou Jingmo was frightened by the oolong incident last time, and she was a little sweet after reacting.
She held Lou Jingmo's hand and kissed her sideways: "I won't die, and you won't die either. We are the women who can have the last laugh!"
Only then did Lou Jingmo stop being sullen, and held her firmly in his arms.
……
That is to say, but the game is still like a time bomb hanging over their heads. This bomb will explode at any time, but they will not know the exact time of the explosion.
But even if the danger is always there, they still have to live.
After returning to Nancheng, everything is back on track. The end of the year is approaching, and the whole city is full of New Year's flavor.Red lanterns were hung on the road, and vendors selling Spring Festival couplets and lanterns were everywhere in the pedestrian street.
They have already decided to go to Shen Maomao's house this year, but Lou Jingmo pays more attention to the sense of ritual. Even if no one is at home for the New Year, he bought a pair of Spring Festival couplets and a few blessings, and planned to paste them before leaving.
Shen Maomao spent this time very comfortably, and almost forgot about the game.
When she finally remembered it, she realized that the counselor said to help her find it, but in fact she hadn't contacted her for more than a month.
She clicked on WeChat, but when she scrolled down, she couldn't find their previous chat history, but she didn't think much about it, she just thought it was automatically cleared by the phone.
After deliberating for a while, she still chose to send a message to the instructor: [Hello instructor, I talked to you before, did you find any relevant information during this time? 】
The guide didn't reply. It's normal for elderly people to be slow on WeChat. After Shen Maomao sent it once, he didn't urge him anymore. Instead, he went upstairs and Lou Jingmo packed the luggage that he would bring home in a few days.
It has been two or three hours since she finished her work. She picked up her mobile phone and found that the instructor replied to her message half an hour ago. There were only two simple words on it: [Are you...? 】
Seeing these two words, Shen Maomao felt that the matter was cold.
She didn't give up, and quickly replied: [I am your student, the batch that just graduated. I asked you about the roommate of the girl who jumped from the building more than ten years ago. You said that you would help me ask other teachers]
After a while, the counselor replied: [Why are you asking this? 】
Shen Maomao suddenly felt that something was wrong.Although their instructors are old, they can't forget everything that happened a month ago. Now that they think about it, the chat records that suddenly disappeared seem suspicious.
She had to roughly repeat what she had said before.
The instructor directly sent a voice message: "I still have a little impression of this matter. The little girl who jumped off the building was accidentally infected with AIDS and acted impulsively out of desperation. It is also because of her Because of her illness, no one wanted to live with her at the time, and everyone in the dormitory moved out, which made her have no one to persuade her when she couldn't think about it. I don't know where you found out about this, let's You have to trust the school and the police, don’t spread rumors, don’t believe rumors, and it’s been so many years, it’s better not to bother the dead anymore.”
Shen Maomao was stupid again, and quickly sent a thank you to the instructor, and then took his mobile phone to go upstairs to the study to find Lou Jingmo: "Sister Lou!! Sister Lou!! I have something important to say!"
Lou Jingmo in the study looked like he was on the phone with someone. When she heard her say that, she put the phone on speakerphone and put it aside without any intention of hanging up.
Shen Maomao was puzzled, and gestured to her, signaling to her that she was going to talk about the game, and said: "Ah... are you busy? Then I will talk to you later?"
Lou Jingmo: "It's okay, let's talk directly."
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Is it a rabbit? Hello, I'm Shang Zhou, do you remember me?"
Shen Maomao suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, so it's you."
She still wanted to catch up with the Great God again, but Lou Jingmo suddenly asked, "What did you find?"
Shen Maomao turned his attention back to her, and replied: "That's right, my instructor hasn't looked for me, so I took the initiative to look for her, but she doesn't remember what she said to me before... And in her memory, the girl who was admitted to graduate school disappeared."
Lou Jingmo: "Is it Peng Xiaorui's disappearance?"
Shen Maomao: "Yes."
Lou Jingmo: "So, that student is probably also a game player? The reason why your instructor forgot about her is because she happened to die in the game within a month."
Shang Zhou on the phone asked: "Can you tell me the specific situation?"
Shen Maomao briefly summarized the plot of the dungeon, and also told him about the changes in the director.
After listening, Shang Zhou sighed: "The game hasn't changed much for so many years, why did it suddenly start updating? Judging from the current situation, this kind of update is considered benign, but we can't guarantee that it will not change in the future. Will continue to update..."
Several people chatted for a while, and Shang Zhou suddenly said: "Xiaolou, actually I called this time, and I have something to ask you."
Lou Jingmo: "What's the matter?"
Shang Zhou said: "In a few days I will enter the capital, and I am not afraid to tell you all about it. I have ten cards in me now, so it is very likely that I will be targeted by the game. After five days, I will enter the dungeon. Before entering, I will I want to give you a call, if I can't come out, can you please rush over to inherit my guild? The card is considered as a reward."
Shen Maomao thought to himself, what kind of cool script did Lou Jingmo use?Someone came to give the guild a card right away?Shang Zhou has set such a big flag for himself, can he really get out of the book?
Lou Jingmo replied: "I'm not interested in your mess."
Shen Maomao: "..." As expected of Lou Jingmo, he is so compelling that he doesn't even want it delivered to his door.
Shang Zhou smiled wryly: "Sometimes I really envy your freedom and ease, I thought we could barely be regarded as friends."
Lou Jingmo: "I don't need friends."
Shen Maomao turned his head to look over, and found that Lou Jingmo was also looking at her.
She took the initiative to walk over, straddled Lou Jingmo's lap, put her arms around her waist, and squeezed her whole body into her arms.
Lou Jingmo supported her with one hand, touched the phone with the other hand, and said: "Okay, I have something to talk about, so I'll stop here first, goodbye."
Shang Zhou's voice over there was a little helpless: "Okay, if we can meet again."
The phone was hung up, Shen Maomao said: "Shangzhou is very powerful, and there are more cards than Sister Lou."
Lou Jingmo squinted at her: "You fart, he has more than 100 people in a guild, and there are only ten cards in total, and I have seven cards by myself. Can you do arithmetic?"
Shen Maomao hurriedly slipped his beard and said: "My wife is still amazing, Shang Zhou is nothing!"
Lou Jingmo patted her butt: "Get away from your wife's lap, she will be crushed to death by you."
Shen Maomao: "If you say that, we don't even need to be friends."
Lou Jingmo suddenly exerted force in his hands, pushed her onto the desk, and pressed her whole body up: "I don't need friends, but... I need a bed warmer now."
Shen Maomao shouted: "Waist, waist! My old waist!"
Lou Jingmo: "..."
She reached out and pulled Shen Maomao up: "I will be mad at you sooner or later."
Shen Maomao: "I mean, the desk is too hard...you understand?"
