Chapter 27

Facing the door, Bo Ye's expression became dazed for a moment, slightly leaning his head, as if in a trance.

Outside the rain has been falling, the formation of the rain curtain covered the car man's face fuzzy, the man anxiously patted the horn, roared: "Bo Rihua, what are you stupefied about! The brain is getting wet in the rain, isn't it? More than 10000 people are waiting for you

His thinking was clear in an instant. Bo Ye remembered that today was his last match and announced his retirement after the game. These were planned a month ago.

A sigh of relief, just a blank in the brain, thought amnesia.

He zipped up his coat and walked out of the e-sports training base. The team manager stretched out a black umbrella from the car. He was too troublesome. He lowered his head into the rain curtain, bypassed the car body and opened the front passenger seat door.

"You'll die if you hold an umbrella!" Shen Qiuqiu pulls out a clean towel from the back pocket and throws it to him in a bad mood. His mouth is full of leisure for a moment. "If fans see you like this, they think that the club is too picky to match an umbrella."

Bo Ye leaned lazily on his seat, wiped his hair with a towel and perfunctorily said, "all right, all right, let's go."

The car soon drove up the viaduct.

It's raining hard. Visibility on the road is very low. The cars and signs in front of us are all immersed in the rain curtain. The wiper is turned to the maximum gear and is struggling to swing left and right against the window glass.

Shen Qiuqiu was angry on the road. His temper soared in bad weather. He drove all the way and scolded the passing vehicles, the battery cars running yellow lights, and the ghost weather.

Bo Ye took out his ears and got used to it. He adjusted a comfortable sitting posture and said, "sleep for a while and call me at the place."

"Oh, wait." Shen Qiuqiu aimed at his left hand and asked, "what's wrong with your ring?"

Bo Ye frowned and didn't understand what he was talking about. Looking at his left hand, he saw that there was a platinum ring on his ring finger. The weight was not light. He was surprised: "this When did you put it on? "

Shen Qiuqiu glanced at him strangely and asked in his voice, "who sent it?"

Bo Ye raised his left hand in front of his eyes, and his eyes showed a trace of confusion. His voice was in a trance: "I forget, which fan it is."

"Yes! You dare to put it on your hands Shen Qiuqiu was impatient. "If you are swept by the camera during the competition, you can't blow up those wife fans. You think you're going to get married."

Bo Ye also felt that it was not proper to wear the ring. He pinched the ring to remove it, but the ring could not be pulled off.

It seems to have been worn for a long time and it's stuck.

It's weird in my heart. Why do I wear a ring from a fan? It looks like it's not a short time.

The ring finger was scratched and rubbed a little painful. He looked at the ring, thought for a moment, and put down his hand: "forget it, anyway, it's going to retire, and it doesn't matter if fans see it."

Shen Qiuqiu suddenly asked, "why did you decide to retire early?"

Bo Ye looked out of the car window and chuckled: "didn't you say it was agreed? Because... "

The voice suddenly stops, Bo Ye's expression is blank for three seconds, but he can't tell the reason, but suddenly he has a trace of fear in his heart.

Shen Qiuqiu called him: "Bo Ye?"

Bo ye had a headache. He kneaded his head and rubbed his eyebrows. He combed his thoughts and said, "why retire early It was discussed a month ago. What did I say? I said I didn't want to be exposed again. "

"Why not expose it?" Shen Qiuqiu was astonished and lowered the wiper by one gear and said: "how can the e-sports players not be exposed? Haven't you been doing well in the past eight years? Why don't you think about it all of a sudden? "

Bo Ye got up slightly, turned pale, and tried to search for the answer in his memory. He intuitively said, "everything is concerned and discussed. There is no way to create a stable environment for lovers Besides, even if the lovers can be exposed, I may not accept the criticism

Shen Qiuqiu laughed and exclaimed, "my God! Bo Ye! Have you been single for a long time and have hallucinations? If you don't even have a boyfriend, you think about it. I'm going to be laughed to death by you

Bo Ye blinked, stunned, as if he were stunned.

Yes, he doesn't have a boyfriend. Why should he think about these problems in advance.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Shen Qiuqiu patted the steering wheel and laughed and scolded: "you're going to retire for some stupid things! I'm really convinced that you can't retreat now because of your rapid development in recent years! Stay, and today's retirement ceremony will be cancelled, OK? "

Bo Ye's face became more and more pale. There seemed to be a force pressing on his chest in the carriage. He was too heavy to breathe. He always felt something was wrong.

"But..." he hesitated

"Bo Ye." Shen Qiuqiu stopped laughing for a second, holding the steering wheel in both hands, turned his head and looked straight into his eyes, which seemed to penetrate his soul. "You can't retire, the club needs you, fans need you, I need you. When you get to this position today, the burden on your shoulders can't be put down. Don't you say that E-sports is the whole of your life? Do you really want to give up? "For a long time, he looked at Mu ye in a daze

Shen Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the dirty rain on the window and discussed with him, "stay, OK?"

With some hesitation, Bo Ye nodded.

Shen Qiuqiu smiles: "good brother."

Strangely, the pressure on his chest suddenly disappeared, and Bo Ye felt an unprecedented relief. He leaned back to the back of his chair, one hand on the windowsill, the back of his hand against his lips, and looked at the front in silence.

"Oh, yes." Shen Qiuqiu reminds, "take off the ring."

Bo Ye looked at his left hand and raised his eyebrows: "I almost forgot."

With a little force this time, when the ring fell off, a circle of white indentation appeared. He saw that the imprint on his ring finger was not very clear characters -

[can I].

Bo Ye squinted.

Can i？

Can……

i……

He gazed for a long time, but his temples were beating wildly and his headache was cracking.

Candi。

All of a sudden, like a flash of light in the dark, the heavy fog in front of him instantly dissipated -

in order to choose to retire in advance, Shen Qiuqiu took him to the scene, saying that life was good to get together and break up. He played the last game of his career, faded out of people's view and stayed with Tang Zhi for four years.

Once you think of all the links of Tang Shun.

This is the scene from the day I retired four years ago.

Bo Ye's eyes became clear and clear, and he regained his sanity. He understood that what was happening at present was not true. His memory had been tampered with. He tried to trap him here forever by making use of his struggle in choosing love and ideal.

"I have a boyfriend. His name is Tang Zhi. This is my wedding ring. You should not erase them." Holding the ring tightly in one hand, Bo Ye said faintly, "because once I think of it, I will find the flaw."

The next second, Bo Ye pulls the lock and kicks the door open. A car just passes by, slamming the door and making a loud noise.

Torrential rain blew into the car along with the wind.

Bo Ye's heart was not beating and he was about to jump. His left wrist suddenly tightened.

Shen Qiuqiu held him firmly in one hand and pulled him to his own direction. He looked in front of him and looked at the man again. With a smile and a soft tone, "Bo Ye, stay."

"We need you."

"Stay."

Outside the open co driver's seat, one car after another roared by, the horn sound into a piece.

Their car was still running at high speed. Shen Qiuqiu's hands were as strong as iron chains. Bo Ye couldn't break free. His hair and face were soon wet by rain.

At this time, the low and harsh whistle came from far away, and the sound kept on for a long time. I glanced at the rearview mirror, and a heavy tank car was driving towards them.

"Stay, stay, you don't want to leave, we need you..." Shen Qiuqiu clenched his wrist as he drove, muttering, "stay with Bo Ye, you can get everything you want here..."

The whistle of the tank car was amplified.

Close.

The time has come.

Bo Ye wiped the rain on his face: "Akita, I'm sorry, candi is waiting for me."

With that, he leaned back out of the car and ran into himself with the tank car flashing high beams.

At the door of the waiting room on the second floor, people sit or stand, waiting with different minds.

Gu Meng looks at the clock on the wall for the sixth time at 10:40.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the door remained open.

Tang Zhi's back was on a column in the corner. He was tall and had a low head. His face was strangely indifferent. He seemed to be in no hurry than Gu Meng.

Gu Meng sighs and sits next to Enjin. However, he sees his right hand sticking to the blue ball pen and drawing something on the ring finger of his left hand.

Gu Meng: What are you doing? "

After finishing the last stroke, Enjin raised her left hand and showed it to Gu Meng: "this is my ring."

“……” Gu Meng doesn't know how to react. He knows that he saw his husband next door have a ring yesterday, and he wants one.

He looked at the ring finger on a circle of plain blue ink, not mind: "very beautiful, very suitable for you."

"I'll give you one." EN Jin talks between a kind of bold and generous, grab his left hand to paint.

Gu Meng quickly dodged and declined: "no, no, it's too expensive. I can't take such a valuable gift."

People around them glanced at them inexplicably.

They were pulling and the door of the waiting room opened.

Under the intense anticipation and intense gaze of the crowd, Bo ye came out pale, holding a light white envelope in his hand. As he passed by Enjin, he patted the envelope on him and said faintly, "clue."

Let go and go straight to Tang Zhi in the corner.

Tang Ye was about to leave the waiting area, but he didn't want to see him.The envelope is still unopened, thick and smooth in texture, with a layer of gold edge on the edge, which is very well made.

Other players spontaneously gathered around and said, "is this a reward? What's in it? "

"What did the man just go through? Why did you leave without saying a word? "

"I don't look very well. The task should be very difficult."

"My God, if I just went in, I don't know whether I walked out or was dragged out."

The envelope flipped between her slender fingers, but Enjin didn't find anything special, so she opened it directly.

Inside is a piece of light white cardboard, which is also inlaid with gold edge. It is taken out and printed with two lines of characters in pear blossom.

[ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December: -)

[Oh, I remember clearly that it was in the bleak December. 】

the crowd looked at the paper jam and did not speak.

For a long time, a man asked, "what do you mean?"

Another voice answered, "literally."

Once again the crowd fell silent.

I can understand every word, but I don't understand what it means.

Enjin collected the card paper and handed the envelope to a player casually, explaining: "there is a stanza in crow written by Edgar Allan Poe. The poem is used to mourn the dead, and it is also a classic work reflecting Poe's poetic beauty."

The crowd sighed and applauded to the cultural people.

Gu Meng knows that Enjin can know so much because she has been reading books all day and night and furiously supplementing materials in the smart house. She is unaccustomed to her rapid growth and is still a little lost.

When I picked him up, he was a fool who didn't speak very well. His IQ was as white as a piece of paper.

The Yellow haired man, Chen Jiahao, was a nurse. He noticed the name on the chest plate of Yan en Jin and asked him, "well, doctor, what's the use of us to get this clue?"

EN Jin pondered for a moment and then said, "I don't know."

Very real.

Chen Jiahao:.... "

In the waiting room, the visiting young girl came out, humming all the way, looking in a good mood, and when she got to the end of the corridor on the second floor, she disappeared again.

Bo Ye followed Tang Zhi all the way forward. The long corridor was covered with gray shadow, and the walls were covered with blood.

Outside the window, the light is hidden in the dark clouds, and the rain patters, making people upset and confused.

Tang Zhi has a thin back and a straight waist. A piece of white shirt collar is exposed at the back collar of his white coat, which is elegant and moving.

Bo Ye couldn't catch up with him. In this silent contest, Bo Ye gave up and said, "candi, slow down."

Tang Zhi stopped and waited for him to catch up.

Relieved, Bo Ye stepped forward and took his hand from behind: "what's your anger? Nothing happened again. "

However, as soon as the words were spoken, Tang Zhi turned and slapped him, sparing no effort.

Bo Ye leaned over his face, and his ears were buzzing. The place where he was hit was quickly congested. The shadow was dormant on the outline of his side face, drawing out gloomy lines.

Tang Zhi's eyes were slightly red. He was angry and worried. He asked in a hoarse voice, "what should I do if something happens to you?"

"Who let you in?"

"Is it your turn?"

"Bo Ye, do you always talk to yourself like this?"

Tang Zhi's emotion tends to be excited. He blinks his eyes and tears fall down. He is so angry that he hits him on the face again. However, his strength is much lighter. He cries seriously: "I don't want you always in front of me, you bastard..."

The sound of rain outside is light and slow, and there is a layer of water vapor on the broken wall, and the feeling of wet is lingering.

Bo Ye calmed down for a moment, scratched his fingertips, scratched his nose, turned back to his face and said, "I've beaten and scolded. Are you better?"

Tang Zhi's eyes were red and his face was red. He lowered his head to cover his eyes and his shoulders trembled. The man in the clinic for 15 minutes, he was very afraid, every minute and every second worried that he could not get out.

Hearing Tang Zhi's uncontrollable cry, Bo Ye was astringent and soft, and tried to hug him: "come here, let me hold him."

If you don't choke on both sides of your neck, don't hold on to the side of your neck. If you don't hold on to your neck, you won't find it

Instead of seeing what happened to him, it's better not to meet each other and pretend to be all right with each other.

Bo Ye was not angry, but chuckled: "widow of Tang." Holding his back neck with one hand, he almost kneaded him into his arms.

Think of that fantasy, men also a burst of fear.

Perhaps the most terrifying thing he had ever experienced was that Tang Zhi had never appeared in his life.

After coaxing people for a long time, they hugged and hugged each other. Finally, they stopped crying. As a result, Tang Zhihong had to make a law with him.

"One, don't take risks, even for lovers.""Second, you can't talk to yourself. There should be a lot of business between them."

"Three..."

Bo Ye crooked the corner of his mouth and asked, "what are the three things?"

Tang Zhi uttered his words and chirped. He was so hot that he said: "don't be insulted by the ghost again! Or I'll kill you

Bo Ye held back his smile and glared at him.

Tang Zhi glanced at him, uneasy: "what are you looking at?"

"If you bite to death, you will not give up." Bo Ye led him forward. He was in a good mood. He said with a smile, "bite me, this is more feasible."

Tang Zhi followed him into the elevator. After a long time, he reflected the meaning of his so-called "bite". In an instant, his cheeks became red with embarrassment: "you You want it

In the noisy room, the elevator goes straight to the fourth floor. As soon as it opens the door, it bumps into the temporary worker pushing the cleaning cart.

The old man was in a blue uniform, with the brim of his hat very low. When he met two people, he bowed his head and made way to one side.

Tang Zhi got off the elevator and said thanks to the old man. His eyes swept over the layers of coarse cloth sheets piled up on the cart. It looked as if he had just cleaned every room.

Temporary workers cart into the elevator, press the floor, the elevator door slowly closed.

At this time, Bo Ye pulled Tang Zhi's hand and said, "look at this."

As he walked past the door of his ward, he saw the light bloodstain on the handle of his ward.

The blood was not coagulated, even fresh.

Thinking of the temporary worker, Tang Zhi said, "if it was the one with blood on his hand, he would take his hand to the door when he went out..."

Bo Ye and he looked at each other and knocked on the door.

I knocked it three times, but nothing came out of it.

When they are about to leave, the elevator door on the fourth floor opens. Gu Meng and en Jin step down, followed by Cai Xiaoqi.

Gu Meng sees her husband next door standing at the door of 401 and asks, "what are you doing here?"

"Just passing by." Bo Ye looks at the little nurse and smiles, "nurse Cai lives in 401? I suggest you open the door and see if there is anything missing in it. " After thinking about it, he added, "or something more."

Although Cai Xiaoqi was confused, she was very obedient. Knowing that the man must have found something strange when he said so, she quickly pushed the door open: "sister Min said that she was not feeling well. She had already returned to her room. If you think there is a problem, you can actually knock on the door This What is this

As she said this, she felt the slippery touch on her palm. She pushed the door open, then spread the handle and turned it over. It was stained with wet blood.

The little girl's face turned white, and she hastily lifted up her clothes and wiped them: "this Where did the blood come from? "

I heard that there was someone inside. Tang Zhi had a bad feeling, so he went in first.

The layout of the room is the same as theirs, with independent bathroom, and the lavender curtain is not lifted, so the whole space appears dark and gloomy in cloudy days.

Looking around the room, he didn't see anyone. He pushed the door of the bathroom directly. He was caught off guard and faced up with Huang Min's huge eyes.

In Room 401, all the lights are on. Cai Xiaoqi is sitting by the bed. Four other men are standing by the bathroom door, looking at the scene inside.

Huang Minka is between the pillar of the washstand and the bathtub. His upper body lies on the edge of the bathtub. He only shows a horrible eye between his scattered hair. He looks straight at the door of the bathroom. His chest is stained with blood. He holds a scalpel in his right hand, and the edge of the knife is drenched with blood.

The window is above the bathtub full of water, and the lavender curtain is completely closed. Because there is a small amount of blood mixed into the water, a jar of water has a light pink color. What is remarkable is that a broken eyeball drags a long tissue belt to sink at the bottom of the tank.

Because they are used to seeing all kinds of strange corpses in ChunZi's world, the four people have no reaction when they see this scene. Such death is normal in their eyes. At least the body is complete, but the whole picture is full of dark and strange.

EN Jin squatted down in front of the bathroom door. Her white coat was pulled to the ground, and her head was tilted. She watched Huang Min's eyes and the blood flower blooming on her chest.

Gu Meng stood beside him, bent down on her knees, and asked, "do you think the knife she was holding was put in or was it in her hand?"

Enjin felt the breath behind the ear, and the ear tip moved sensitively.

"With the tip of the knife facing inward and holding it backwards, it should have been held in the hand." Bo Ye leaned against the door frame, and his long legs overlapped at will. "The problem is, where did she stab herself with a knife?"

Eugene was sure: "eyes."

Gu Meng turned to him and said, "do you mean that she dug out her eyes with a scalpel? Then... " Aiming at the light pink water in the bathtub, he said, "threw it into the bathtub?"

"Not just the eyes." Enjin said, "her heart has been taken away."

The other three were stunned at the same time and said in the same voice: "how do you know?"

The cloth on the chest was stained with blood, and they couldn't even see the wound, let alone see that the body had lost its heart.Enjin looked back at them, with an innocent expression of "how can I explain such a simple question?" with her eyes

“……”

Although she knew that Huang Min had her eyeballs removed before she died, there are still many problems that can not be solved, such as what prompted her to do such a crazy thing, where her heart has gone, and what the real cause of death is. In the game world, many things go against the laws of nature, so we can't use scientific attitude to seek knowledge, and we can only wait for clues to appear.

The four men couldn't see any more problems in Room 401. It happened to be noon, so they went downstairs to find several other players and told Huang Min about his death. The others looked dignified after hearing the news and immediately went to the fourth floor to check.

There were only four of them in the dining hall at noon.

is as like as two peas, two meat and a vegetable.

The aunt behind the window is dead. She scoops a spoon of mashed potatoes and roast beef, which is put in the plate and handed to Gu Meng outside.

Gu Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie, when cooking this dish tomorrow, beef and potatoes will be fried in oil for two minutes. The surface of potatoes will almost turn golden, and then the fire will be changed. Finally, when the soup is dried, it will be better if you can thicken it with starch a little bit."

The aunt looked at him dead and said to him neatly, "go away."

“……” Gu Meng turned around and left with his plate in his hand, forcing him in a low voice, "sooner or later you will lose your job."

The author has something to say:

Bo Ye's illusion is like this: things happened on the day of his retirement. The game recreates this scene according to his memory, but it obliterates Tang Zhi.

Without Tang Zhi, Bo ye would not retire in advance. He wanted to continue playing video games, but he still won in love. So the game took advantage of his weakness to create an extreme environment for him: if the lover did not appear, he would choose his ideal and choose "stay". Once he agreed to "stay", he would not go out.

I hope dads can read it without the synopsis.
