High Energy QR Code: Hope

White Rubik's Cube has no face, it is like a blank piece of paper, but after listening to Xing Ye's words, it kept shaking, and said at the same time: "Does the player know what is locked in the attic?"

Xing Ye said: "The first time I came here, behind the Xing Shuo Gate, the monsters in the attic struggled violently, but they couldn't break through the small door in the attic. At that time, I thought the monsters in the attic It is the system left in the cemetery to suppress the consciousness of the dead players. Destroying the door of the attic will release monsters, allowing the consciousness of the dead players to interfere with the game world and hurt the players who are still alive. At that time, I did not dare to touch the door, fearing that it would destroy the balance .

"But now you bring us to the throne and use this as the final level reward, I found out that I was wrong before.

"Since the system can directly reach the cemetery, it means that the cemetery is controlled by the system. Like the last time the spiritual world dragged the player into the cemetery, there is also a reason why the system let it go. If the system can control the cemetery to a certain extent, So what is it that is sealed by the system in the cemetery? Could it be something that even the system fears?"

White Rubik's Cube said dryly: "Player, you think too much."

Xing Ye said: "No, I didn't think too much. I thought it would be better if the black peeled off and only the white Rubik's Cube was left, but you still want to trick me into staying in the cemetery, and you didn't bring us back to reality at all. The plan of the world, then I will doubt what you say.

"Also, who said that white must represent goodwill?

"I just thought of a sentence. Human beings are born with a blank sheet of paper, which can be written on at will. White does not represent goodness, but represents the purest and most primitive desire. And what is the wish of fate? Isn't the wish of a game supported by malicious intent to make it impossible for all players to pass the level?

"If this is the case, then whether it is a white cube or a black cube, I can't believe what you say.

"There is only one way to really leave the game, and that is to destroy the game."

Xing Ye walked up and down on the third floor, while Lu Mingze tried to observe his surroundings. He suddenly said, "Behind the throne, there seems to be something on the back of that golden chair."

Xing Ye followed his instructions to find the stain, he picked it lightly, and a small rusty key fell off.

Just the right size for the lock on the attic door.

Xing Ye held the key and said, "This should be the real reward for the final level, right? Unleash powerful monsters that can destroy the entire system, allowing players to gain real freedom."

White Rubik's Cube didn't stop Xing Ye, it changed from the panic at the beginning to calm, and said softly: "Congratulations to player x8205 for finding a way to truly shut down the system, you can indeed use it to release the mind monsters to destroy the system and return to the real world, but There is one thing that the system must remind the player."

"What's the matter?" Xing Ye asked.

White Magic Cube said: "After the system disappears, everything experienced by all players will return to the right track. The system will not want anyone to remember what happened in the game. Except for the real winner, the rest of the players will lose the game. Memories, including your obedience props."

Xing Ye paused slightly when he stepped up to the attic, and looked at his own small mirror. The little Lu Mingze in the mirror was looking up at him.

They met and fell in love in the game, and after losing this precious memory, in Lu Mingze's heart, Xing Ye will only be a big brother whom he met once nine years ago.

Only the real winner, Xing Ye, will keep this memory, and the companions who have walked along the way will no longer remember him.

Bai Mofang said: "All the happy, painful, happy, and lonely memories are only remembered by you."

Looking at Xing Ye, Lu Mingze still remembered that Xing Ye entered the game because his only family member died. When they first met, Xing Ye didn't seem to care about anything, only loneliness and the persistence to find out the cause of his brother's death.

Since the game, Xing Ye has met a companion, and the feeling of loneliness gradually dissipated.

At this moment, is Xing Ye going to lose everything again?

Hearing Lu Mingze's inner voice, Xing Ye pointed his finger at the mirror and said, "What are you thinking, am I such a fragile person? Don't forget, I remember you."

He opened his mouth to say a series of numbers, which were the phone numbers given to him by Cao Qian, Yan Hebi, Guan Ling, and Qian Jinlai before he challenged the final level.

"I haven't forgotten, as long as I want, I will find you, meet you again, and be friends again." Xing Ye said firmly.

"But, I don't want to forget you." Lu Mingze said sadly in the mirror, "I'm very sad."

"I will go to you," Xing Ye said seriously, "I will pursue you again and make you fall in love with me."

Lu Mingze said: "But, I love myself very much. I'm narcissistic and squeamish. I'm afraid you won't catch up with me."

This is the first time I have seen someone worrying about others to this extent, Xing Ye said to Lu Mingze: "Don't worry, I know everything you like and all your thoughts, and I will make you fall in love with me again .”

"I know that the system must be destroyed, and the players must be free, but, but you must come to me quickly." Lu Mingze looked at Xing Ye anxiously and said.

Because, he already feels lonely now.

"Don't worry." Xing Ye touched the mirror reassuringly, and continued to walk up to the attic.

Standing in front of the door, Lu Mingze looked at the key in Xing Ye's hand and asked, "What is the system? What is sealed behind this door?"

Xing Ye inserted the key into the lock cylinder and said: "I think of a myth and legend, Pandora opened the box given to mankind by the gods, released the disaster, and left the only good thing - hope. Hope will always Locked in a box, hidden in people's hearts."

"That's just a myth." Lu Mingze said.

"I know, so this is just a guess. But the system is a collection of malicious things, and it has existed in countless human worlds since ancient times. Mythical stories were originally a collection of stories exaggerated and imagined by ancient humans based on some facts. Who knows what its original origin was?"

"You mean"

Before Lu Mingze finished speaking, Xing Ye had already opened the door.

The thing inside the door sounded like a monster, but when it was opened, there was nothing there. It was a soft and warm light that enveloped the two of them.

Before being wrapped in white light, Lu Mingze asked in his heart: Xing Ye, what is hope? Invisible, colorless, invisible, how can it destroy this malicious system?

Xing Ye told him in his heart: hope, probably a bit like a foundation, hidden in the depths, but can become the driving force of other beautiful feelings.

Without a foundation, high-rise buildings cannot rise from flat ground; similarly, without hope, all good emotions such as strength, hard work, and faith will lose their foundation and will not last long.

The soft light behind the door became bigger and bigger, gradually engulfing the entire cemetery, and then spread into the system space through the spire of the ancient castle. At that moment, all players were enveloped by this gentle light, as if trapped A wonderful dream.

Holding the mirror in his arms, Xing Ye curled up and was bathed in the light. He didn't know how long it took before he opened his eyes.

He is sitting in front of the family cemetery, holding a mobile phone with a mirror case in his hand.

He took off the mirror case, and the phone inside returned to its original color, no longer black and white, and the "Challenge Fate" app on the phone had disappeared.

The person in the mirror is also gone.

Xing Ye brushed his fingers over his younger brother's name on the tombstone, and said softly, "I won."

-

After half a month.

Assistant Qi walked into Xing Ye's office and said to him: "Director Xing, please sign."

When he handed the document to Xing Ye, he saw a sticky note on the boss's desk, on which were written several strings of mobile phone numbers, none of which belonged to anyone.

Xing Ye read the document, asked a few questions, signed it, and handed it to Assistant Qi.

Assistant Qi left the boss's office with the documents in his arms. Before closing the door, Xing Ye picked up the phone with a mirror case that didn't suit him at all, and looked at the phone numbers on the table.

Xing Ye sighed softly and put down the note. Although it was agreed that they would have dinner together, having dinner rashly now will only bring trouble to these former companions.

He looked at the schedule, called the driver and said, "Take me to the airport."

When Lu Mingze woke up, he was immediately sent abroad by his family for inspection. The cemetery was too far away from the nursing home, so Xing Ye chatted with his younger brother silently for a while. It was already dawn when he arrived at the nursing home, and at this time Lu Mingze had already boarded a private jet and flew to the other side of the ocean.

Today is the day when Lu Mingze returns to China, Xing Ye brought a bouquet of flowers to pick him up.

The cessation of the game did not have any impact on everyone's life. After all, the time in the real world is stopped during the game. Even if the game is played every seven days, life in the real world must continue.

The only difference is that Lu Mingze woke up, and the other obedient players who were trapped in the game probably also woke up.

Xing Ye also tried to investigate the whereabouts of Shao Lin and others. Some players were not easy to find, but Shao Lin found it. I heard that Shao Lin didn't know why he committed a duty-related crime and lost more than three billion yuan. He is currently waiting for the trial in the detention center.

Fate, in its own way, reclaims interest from the player.

Xing Ye was waiting in the VIP passage of the airport, thinking about what to say when he saw Lu Mingze.

He didn't go abroad to look for Lu Mingze these days, because he didn't want to leave an impression of being too impatient to him who has no memory, so Xing Ye has been patiently waiting for Lu Mingze to return home.

Due to the weather, the plane was delayed, and Xing Ye waited at the airport until night. He was a little tired, so he went to the bathroom to wash his face. Standing in front of the mirror at the sink, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in the mirror.

He instinctively touched the mirror, but saw that the man turned around and walked towards the bathroom. Xing Ye suddenly turned around and saw Lu Mingze behind him.

It's not the person in the mirror, but the real Lu Mingze who exists in the real world.

Xing Ye quickly walked in front of Lu Mingze. Lu Mingze, who was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, saw a person appearing in front of him, so he changed direction and continued walking. Unexpectedly, this person moved a step and stood in front of him again.

Lu Mingze was a little angry, raised his face and said, "What are you doing?"

The person in front of him was much taller than him, very imposing, with a face that was not as good as his but stood out in the crowd.

He took Lu Mingze's hand, put a mirrored phone case in Lu Mingze's palm, and said softly, "This is for you."

Lu Mingze stared dumbfounded at the phone case on his palm which had obviously been used for a long time, and asked, "Who are you?"

The man whispered: "I'm Xing Ye, nice to see you again."
