Chapter 52

What is the meaning of the game?

Sometimes, it's sad to see people killed in order to get rid of the ghost. Sometimes it's too sad to be killed by a ghost.

After seven days, it will be seven days again. After countless seven days, what is true, what is false, what is reality, what is dream? If the only standard of certainty is lost, what should be judged.

Forced to move forward like a hypocrite and plundered like a fool, this is a world where praying to the gods can't be answered. Who can tell him the meaning of all this.

The LCD screen, orange red "win" burst out, Tang Zhi finally blinked.

Staring at the screen for a long time, his original clear eyes were covered with grey yarn and lost their former glory.

EN Jin sat beside him, rubbed her eyes, and tried to keep up her spirits.

Holding the handle to call up the menu and restart the game, he said in a low voice with irresistible tiredness: "this time to play honor mode?"

It was the dull sound of the handle falling on the floor.

Eugene pauses for a moment and looks at Tang Zhi.

At the same time, Gu Meng, who was sleeping on the sofa, woke up. He sat up and said nervously, "what's the matter?"

Since this period of time, he has been paying close attention to Tang Zhi's state all the time, and it is not too much to say that he is all over the place.

Tang Zhi looked at the LCD screen in front of him without expression and calmly asked Enjin, "why should I lose all the time?"

EN Jin gradually put down the game controller, drooping eyelids, no voice.

Gu Meng came to them, sat down on the floor and looked at Tang Zhi anxiously: "would you feel bored? Do you want to play something else? "

Tang Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm going to bed."

He stood up from the floor and walked towards the room as usual.

Gu Meng's eyes follow him until he enters the first bedroom and closes the door.

Finally, he glanced through a whole row of rooms.

There used to be four bedrooms in the smart house. After returning from the snow mountain, one room disappeared. Now there are only three.

Gu Meng turned around, sat cross legged on the floor, looked at en Jin, and said, "you mean it. You've played with him for hundreds of games these days. How can you lose? Pay more attention to the probability. "

"But..." EN Jin stretched out her long legs, leaned back to the sofa behind her, looked up at the crystal lamp on the top, hesitated for a moment, and explained, "but he said before, let me not win candi."

Knowing who the "he" refers to, Gu Meng pricked her heart, lowered her head and remained silent for a while. She was ready to get up and didn't continue the topic. She said, "it's hard. It's late. Go to bed."

But was grabbed by en Jin.

"Gu Meng." EN Jin sat in the body, climbed close, staring at him and asked, "what's it like to miss someone?"

"If you can still see that person, the feeling of missing is very complex, sweet, sour, empty, full of expectation, these are the feelings when you miss someone." Gu Meng pursed her lips and whispered, "but if you know that you can't meet him again, if you think about it, you will feel sorry. Maybe, there will be some pain."

Enjin lowered her head on his shoulder and whispered, "I may miss him a little."

Gu Meng rubbed his hair: "me too."

In the room, Tang Zhi sleeps heavily, buries his face in the pillow, lies prone on the bed, even the quilt is still under his body, never lifted.

I don't know how long after, he was awakened by the sound of the door opening, leaning from the soft pillow, looking at the door.

There was only one standing light in the room, and the warm orange light was very dim.

The visitor approached the bedside and sat down, his face gradually exposed to the light.

Tang Zhi was still lying on the bed, just looked up at him and squinted sleepily.

"What's wrong with tiger today?" Man faint smile, voice line soft ask, "look at very have no spirit, not prestige at all."

Tang Zhi didn't dare to touch him. He began to clench the bed sheet with both hands. He rubbed his eyes on the pillow and said, "no, I'm fine."

Wake up to play games, when the point to eat, tired sleep, so every day, there is nothing wrong, nothing bad.

As long as you don't think about anything.

Tang Zhi said, "so you don't have to worry."

Bo Ye lowered his eyes, stroked his forehead and hair back, touched his cheek, and chuckled: "I still love crying so much. How can I not worry about it?"

The tears that had been spinning in his eyes slipped and the pillow was wet. Tang Zhi looked at the man's face greedily and said, "I just saw you. I can't help it."

Bo Ye scraped away his tears with his fingers and gradually gathered up a smile. He asked, "how are you doing recently?"

Tang Zhi sobbed. When he couldn't hold on, he could only face the fact. The tears fell more and more quickly. He said in a hoarse voice: "it's painful everywhere What would I do without you? "Bo Ye looked around his face, as if there were thousands of words, but in the end he could only sigh and say, "I'm sorry."

Then he said, "forget it. You did a good job the other day, didn't you?"

Tang Zhi wanted to hold his hand, but the hand he had just stretched out drew back timidly, fearing that a man would disappear when he touched him.

"Not at all." He said, "I miss you, Bo Ye."

Bo Ye looked at him, a little helpless, a little sad, did not speak again.

Tang Zhi wiped his tears and choked: "I think of you so painful, so cold, only one person, my heart is very uncomfortable."

"If only I went down at that time. I just want to stay by your side, and I don't want to escape anywhere."

"Bo Ye, I miss you..."

“Candi。”

Bo ye called him, but he didn't listen.

"Even if I've broken through all the games, I'll still crash without you, Bo Ye..."

“Candi？”

He was pushed.

The next second awakes, the face already moistened.

Tang Zhi couldn't help but look at the people in front of him with tears in his clear eyes.

Gu Meng squatted on the edge of the bed, pretending that he didn't know anything, and cautiously said, "can I sleep well? You don't feel comfortable sleeping on your stomach all night. "

Tang Zhi wiped his eyes and turned his head to the other side. He said with a heavy nasal voice: "I'm ok."

After a long time, he added, "thank you."

Gu Meng can't help but feel a headache. Seeing his left wrist, Gu Meng tries to touch him: "the wound on your wrist has been healed. It's been six days. The bandage has hurt your skin for a long time."

Without waiting for him to meet him, Tang Zhi quickly took back his hand and gradually hid under the pillow.

"Don't mind me," he whispered

Gu Meng had no choice but to understand his mood at the moment. He got up, lowered the brightness of the vertical lamp, and said, "go to bed early. If you can't sleep, call me at any time."

"Well."

The door closed again.

Tang Zhi took back his hand from under the pillow and lay on his back in bed.

He raised his left wrist and pushed the loose cuff up to reveal the entire length of the bandage.

There are two simple strokes on the bandage. One is that two villains are fighting, the other is two villains making love. They are vividly drawn, which instantly reminds me of that night.

Moon, snow, Bo Ye's smile.

How can it be forgotten.

Next to Jian's handwriting is Bo Ye's handwriting, written two lines of Martian writing.

Bo ye loved Tang Zhi.

"One's life, never give up".

Tang Zhi looked for a long time, put his forearm over his eyelid and put a bandage on it.

“うそつき。”

(lies...)

A low voice was heard in the room, empty, and the ending was shaking.

On the morning of the seventh day, Tang Zhi startles Gu Meng and en Jin when he enters the restaurant.

Gu Meng holds the pan in her left hand, and a piece of fried egg lies on the spatula of her right hand. She is about to put it in en Jin's plate. She looks at Tang Zhi who comes in and forgets to move.

EN Jin holds a cup in one hand and holds half a stick in her mouth. Her sight keeps sweeping Tang Zhi's face.

"Cough..." Gu Meng coughed twice, put down the pan, rubbed his sweat off his apron, and asked, "candi, are you ok?"

Tang Zhi pulled out his chair and sat down. Facing the breakfast in front of him, he shook his head quietly.

Gu Meng reminds: "your hair."

Tang Zhi moved his knife and fork in front of him. His beautiful eyes drooped and he said faintly, "I feel bored. I've cut it."

His hair was cut short.

The original hair style was slightly long, dark and soft, and looked very nice. Occasionally, bangs need to be clamped with hairpins, otherwise it would cover the eyes. Gu Meng still remembers that his hairpin is a crystal cherry style, with a Christmas color.

But now, the boy's hair is cut to pieces and short. The bangs are gnawed by dogs. It may be destroyed by putting them on ordinary people. But Tang Zhi is not the same. He can't stand his good looks.

The new hairstyle highlights the beautiful facial lines. The gorgeous facial features can't be hidden. The whole person looks much cleaner than before.

Because it was cut casually by myself, the layers were disordered and not decorated. On the contrary, it seemed natural and fresh.

The feeling of youth is high.

EN Jin looked for a long time, rubbed off the oil on the tablecloth, and concluded: "it's very nice."

Gu Meng said, "handsome."

"Thank you."

Tang Zhi held the sandwich in one hand and took a big bite with his head down. His cheek was bulging. He ate more boldly than before. He seemed to have been hungry for a long time and didn't care what he was eating.

Gu Meng poured a cup of milk and pushed it in front of him. Looking at him, he could not rest assured. He said, "slow down."

Tang Zhi took the milk and nodded.

After breakfast, Enjin helped clear the table.

In the kitchen, he put the dishes in the dishwasher and couldn't help looking at Tang Zhi, who was sitting in the living room.Boys are already playing games.

He looked back, thought about it, and said, "he said we should take care of candi, but now it seems that candi is not good."

"You've done very well." Adorable the foam on the hand, Gu sighed. "What I want to do is to play Candi in my pocket in the next game, so as not to do anything stupid."

In the evening, Enjin accompanies Tang Zhi to play the game. Instead of the previous confrontation mode, Enjin chooses a double player game, so that he doesn't have to make mistakes at critical moments. However, most of the time, he follows Tang Zhi and makes a silent remedy unless Tang Zhi misses some key clues.

Tang Zhi did not say a word, staring at the LCD screen, mechanically operating the game handle.

Gu Meng looks at the electronic clock. Today is Thursday. It's time to enter the next game.

Is thinking, the familiar "Ding Dong" sound suddenly rings in the wisdom house.

The two players in front of the TV stopped at the same time and looked over the living room.

"Hello, dear players. I'm your smart housekeeper, Adam."

Men's voices come from all directions and reverberate in the wisdom room.

"First of all, once again, congratulations on passing the third game. I believe that after arduous efforts, we have tasted the joy of the fruits of success. After data analysis, both psychological and physical aspects, you have been able to adapt to the content of the game. This is a good thing, which will help you improve the clearance rate in the next game."

"Adam specially came to inform us that the fourth game has been loaded and will start at 0:00 on Thursday. Please keep your best condition and join the game."

The static electricity didn't ring. Adam finally said, "I'm sorry for Mr. Bo. The dead are long and the living are like this. I hope you can..."

"It's so noisy!"

Don't wait for the male voice to finish saying, Tang Zhi smashed the game handle to the crystal lamp, extremely irritable.

The light flickered unsteadily twice.

Adam didn't speak any more. After a while, with the beep, the intelligent house fell into silence.

It was the only time in seven days that Tang Zhi lost his temper.

He wrung his eyebrows and bit his lower lip impatiently. He got up and walked towards the room. He did not forget to say hello to Gu Meng and en Jin: "see you at the next game."

Seeing that the door of the first bedroom is closed, Gu Meng immediately smashes a pillow on the flower board in the sky, and angrily says, "what kind of intellectual housekeeper! If you don't open a pot, pick it up and beat it! "

"Gu Meng is not angry." EN Jin went to him, bent down to shun Mao, tone seriously comforted way, "people cheap own day collection, system cheap sooner or later will be destroyed."

Gu Meng: OK

Although it's a curse with no eggs, it sounds strange.

Pretending to be offline, but there is no Adam:.... "

"Tang Zhi."

The soft and smiling voice of a woman passed her cheek, carrying a breeze.

Tang Zhi's hair moved and his eyes opened.

As a result, I was stimulated by the strong light in front of me and closed my eyes.

After getting used to it for a while, he saw that he was in a small studio with the searchlights on, a halo on the side of the white reflector, and a SLR fixed on a tripod in front of him.

"Watch the camera."

Behind the SLR, a hoarse male voice gave instructions.

Because the back light, hidden behind the lens, can only see is a huge shadow.

Tang Zhi looked down at the black board that he had been holding in his hand. It was divided into three columns and wrote with chalk:

[Tangzhi]

[182cm]

[68kg]

there are bars on the wall behind him, and numbers on the right indicate his height.

Tang Zhi understood at a glance. He raised the file board with one hand and looked at the camera in front of him. His face was cold and uninspired.

The flash flashed twice in the room, and the prison record photos were taken.

"Please go out through the door on the right."

The man's voice continued.

The door on the right hand side was painted with yellow paint. It was thin and crude. Tang Zhi opened the door and went out directly.

There is another area outside, which is the canteen.

Square tables with orange round chairs were full of hundreds of prisoners in striped shirts. They were eating and chatting. The environment was chaotic and noisy.

Tang Zhi looked around and found a group of people in loose white clothes looking around in the corner not far away.

Those should be players, roughly estimated, no less than 20.

At this time, the door behind him was pushed open. Gu Meng was holding Jingming acupoint, and his feet were floating. When he came out, he stepped on the low steps and almost sprained his foot.

Tang Zhi held him up and asked, "what's the matter?"

"I couldn't help closing my eyes every time I flashed. The photographer told me to come back five or six times." Gu Meng squinted, adapted to the light in front of her eyes, and said, "almost blinded me."Just saying that, Eugene also came out of the small room.

Gu Meng was always curious about his height, looked at the blackboard on his hand, spread out one hand, and said, "show me."

Eugene handed him the board.

Gu Meng's height is 191.

"Whelp, what did you grow up with? So long? "

EN Jin shook her head and said, "forget it."

Gu Meng also went to see Gu Meng's brand. However, Gu Meng held it in front of him and said, "you just need to remember that my aura is two meters eight."

Two people are pulling, Tang Zhi in one side to remind: "someone is coming."

At the entrance of the canteen, a woman in a Navy Dress came in, stepping on stiletto heels, in high spirits, aiming at the group of players in the corner.

Gu Meng took a look and said, "let's go."

No defense, but was en Jin took away the wood in her arms.

Enjin looked over.

[Gu Meng]

[178.4cm]

[64kg]

"you often say that you are 1.8 meters tall." EN Jin looked at him and said mercilessly.

Gu Meng was embarrassed: "round up."

It's less than one meter

Gu Meng took back her own file board, walked forward and calmly said, "if you really think so, I can't help it."

Enjin poked him in the cheek while walking, harassing constantly: "cheating children don't have little safflower."

“……” Gu Meng hugged the small blackboard and swallowed.

The policewoman looked at the roll in her hand, and after counting the roll, she saw that everyone was there. She said to the players, "new prisoners, I'm the logistics group leader Miffy. Welcome to Ivy League prison."

"Ivy?" Gu Meng in the back of the crowd, quietly forced, "very famous school temperament..."

The policewoman raised her face and faced the light leaking in from the iron fence window, and her tone became impassioned: "a new beginning, a new hope, a new dream. I hope you can make a good transformation in the new environment and make progress day by day. When you get out of prison again, you will be able to regain new life and create a new atmosphere!"

Players look at each other, for such an opening some maladjustment.

If you're not in prison, you might think it's the opening address.

Mifei said to herself, full of enthusiasm, and with a big smile, she said, "now, I will lead you to the cell, please change your clothes when you do housework"

walking out of the canteen, there is a square playground outside, which is very simple. On a sunny day, the loess is flying, surrounded by high walls, and the top of the wall is densely intertwined with barbed wire.

Through the playground, they re-enter the building through the door opposite the canteen and are led to the second floor.

Along the way, some people look confused, it is easy to see is a new arrival.

Maybe they were born and experienced the guidance of novices in the smart house before the game. Although they were at a loss, they did not make any radical behavior. They just followed the army forward, probing carefully while walking.

When a young boy asked Gu Meng, Gu Meng only said, "anything can happen here. The key is to be stable."

After thinking about it, he added, "run fast."

They entered a corridor with cells on both sides. Officer Miffy set the time and place for the assembly and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The cell is a double room. More than 20 players form a team. If they don't know each other, they will find the right one.

Many people turn their eyes to Tang Zhi, who stands there alone. His temperament is cold and his appearance is rare and beautiful. They all reveal their desire to get close to him.

A man took the lead and made an offer, pretending to be calm: "have you found a roommate? Or you and me? This is the third game I've played. I have some experience and can take you with me. "

Tang Zhi gave him a cold look, put his back on his back and pushed open the nearest door. He went in directly and refused, "no, I'm used to being alone."

After the door closed, the man felt his nose and went to other people to form a team.

The young boy who asked questions all the way to Gu Meng came to Gu Meng's side, pulled his sleeve and swallowing his cigarette mouth and said, "brother, take me to sleep at night. I'm a thief, and I'm not a laggard in an accident."

Gu Meng sees him as tender as a green onion. His ignorant appearance is very distressing. There is not much time difference between him and Enjin, so he wants to deal with it.

Just think of the sound, the boy's hand was taken away from his sleeve.

Gu Meng blinks and looks aside.

"You're old enough to learn to sleep by yourself." Enjin's face was expressionless, and her soft voice sounded a little frozen at the moment. She said to the youth, "don't be emotional, don't miss secretly, don't look back, and live your own other life. You should be obedient. Not all prisoners will live in the same room."

Gu Meng:

The child may be Haruki Murakami.

“……” The young boy was confused.EN Jin opens a cell, takes Gu Meng's hand and goes in. Before closing the door, she whispers to the young boy outside: "in the game, you don't just depend on others to survive. Sometimes even if you walk in the crowd, you will die inexplicably. Be careful when you open the door. There may be something waiting for you inside."

A young boy shrugged up his shoulders and tears filled his big eyes, which made people heartache.

EN Jin raised the corner of her mouth and laughed like a little devil.

Close the door and turn contentedly. I don't want to be picked up.

EN Jin slightly squatted down, was carried askew over the head, whispered: "pain."

"What did you frighten him to do?" Gu Meng glared at him, relaxed his hand and said, "you should also be a quiet adult. You can sleep by yourself."

"I found you..." EN Jin aimed at him, discontented and whispered, "it's true to see a love one."

"What?"

Gu Meng didn't hear clearly.

EN Jin shook her head, unwilling to repeat.

"Change your clothes first." Gu Meng lets go of him and looks at the small cell. The green vines coiled on the opposite wall make him take a second look and say, "candi is next door. Change his clothes and go to see him."

On one side of the cell there were two iron beds, a lavatory basin in the corner, and a mirror above.

Tang Zhi came to the washing table and washed his hands. He took off his loose white coat and was ready to change his clothes. He looked up and saw himself in the mirror.

After his hair is cut short, even if it is him, looking at such a person in the mirror will still be a little strange.

He wiped his face with his coat and threw it aside. He was about to shake off his striped prison uniform. His eyes were attracted by the tiny tattoo above his clavicle.

Tang Zhi looked at it in a daze, approached the mirror, and pressed his fingertips on the bow like shape -

"∞".

Infinite symbol, in the game reward means exchange, can do with any other copy of the exchange.

He used this skill, when he first went to find Bo Ye.

There is one chance left.

Tang Zhi looked at it, and his eyes gradually became bright. He raised his eyes and looked at the mirror. Without saying a word, he described an inverted "8" on it.

At first, there was no reaction on the mirror, but slowly, along the place he had described, there was a faint light.

The bow shaped light is more and more intense, flashing, as if to break through the mirror.

Tang Zhi's body trembled slightly and he was nervous. He was not sure whether he could find Bo Ye again in this way.

He took a deep breath and pasted his left hand with the symbol on the mirror.

Waiting for a moment, the light spits out a brilliant gold wire, twining the platinum ring on his ring finger, circle after ring.

Tang Zhi lowered his head and closed his eyes, waiting nervously.

At first, he didn't grasp anything. Suddenly, in a moment, he grasped something, which was almost synchronous, reflecting the picture in his mind.

It was a slender hand, with distinct knuckles, fair and beautiful. There was a platinum ring on the ring finger, which was gently extended in the golden light.

It's a hand that he can't be more familiar with. Even every palm print on it can be clearly remembered.

Tang Zhi's heart was filled with tenderness for a moment, which made his eyes ache and his closed eyes shed tears.

The left hand sticks to that hand to turn a direction, change to ten fingers intertwined.

Hold it tightly and forcefully. It won't let go.

"Candi, are you ready?"

At this point, the door is pushed open from the outside.

Gu Meng and en Jin come in one after another. When they look up and see Tang Zhi in the room, they are still in the same place.

In front of the mirror, the boy's left hand was pasted on the mirror, the whole hand was engulfed by a golden halo, and his body became more and more pale, looking at some illusory.

Although he shed tears, he still laughed: "goodbye, I'm going to find Bo Ye."

Knowing that he was going to leave, Gu Meng had no time to think too much and rushed forward to hold his arm.

EN Jin followed closely, and one second before they disappeared, she met Gu Meng's corner of dress.

The light in the room was bright, and then went out in a short moment, and returned to calm again.

The young boy passed by with his prison clothes in his hands. When he saw the door open, he peeped into his eyes and said cautiously, "hi Hi Is there anyone here

After a look around, the room is clear at a glance, empty.

He looked around cautiously and came in, saying to himself, "well, I'll live in this room..."

At the end of the line, Bo Ye jumped out of the cabin door and looked back and forth. There were a lot of people. He looked like a tourist group. He didn't find any familiar people in the crowd for a moment.

The temperature is very low here. He pulls up the zipper of his coat. After pulling it to the top, he grabs the zipper head with his teeth at will and looks around the environment.

After watching for a while, I understood the surrounding terrain, but I still didn't see the person I was looking for.

He was about to step forward when someone patted him on the shoulder.Bo ye turned back.

EN Jin holds Gu Meng pale, and Tang Zhi follows.

Don't blink and blink.

His little brother, when was his hair so short?

"Where have you been? I didn't find you just now Bo Ye waved to the Tang Dynasty and did not forget to care about Gu Meng, who was pale. "Mr. Gu, are you ok?"

Seeing that Tang Zhi was still standing there, he didn't walk up to him. Bo Ye frowned strangely. When he looked at the other two men, he found that everyone had a strange look in his eyes today.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Meng looks at Bo Ye with a complicated look. She tries to resist the vomiting caused by crossing the copy. She walks forward, stares at him for several seconds, and reaches out and hugs the man.

This is always not serious, but unexpected very reassuring man.

Bo Ye was held by him. His body was stiff and his expression was even more muddled.

Zhang Ye slapped his back, but he couldn't think of anything, but he threw up his stomach.

Bo Ye was pushed back a few steps, looked at Gu Meng, then looked at en Jin, pointed to his brain, and said, "what's wrong with him? Did the crash damage the brain

Enjin didn't seem to hear his question and looked at him attentively, which made Bo Ye's scalp numb.

Then, Eugene came forward and hugged him.

Bo Ye tilted his head and reluctantly gave him a perfunctory hug and said, "what's the matter, little friend? Why do you look in love with me

Enjin inhaled deeply, pressed on his shoulder, and reluctantly called out --

"Dad."

Bo Ye:

The corner of the mouth cocked up for a while, and then, finally, I couldn't help but feel cool inside, laughing out: "good."

EN Jin patted him on the shoulder with a face of shame and went to one side to care about Gu Meng's situation.

Bo Ye looked at Tang Zhi not far away, and saw him standing in the same place in a trance, but he stepped forward.

He zipped up the boy's coat, scraped the tip of his red nose, and whispered, "is it cold?"

Seeing his dog's gnawing hair, he raised his hand to grab two and said, "little brother, you are so handsome."

"But when was it cut?"

"Well?"

Looking down at Tang Zhi's eyes, he found that he had already become red.
