Chapter 383 Out of the Circle
Thunder City.
A woman slowly opened her eyes.
"Who am I?"
The strange room and blank memory made her feel confused.
Hiss!
Suddenly, a moment of pain flashed through her brain.
The woman subconsciously covered her head.
The next moment, a picture flashed through her mind.
It was a picture of a steel monster flashing with dazzling light, rushing straight towards her. She vaguely heard some sound in her ears, followed by endless darkness.
"Miss... It seems that they call me Miss? Am I called Miss?"
The woman looked puzzled.
Creak.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and an old woman with a bent waist came into the room with a plate.
In the plate, there seemed to be a bowl of soup.
The old woman skillfully turned her back to the woman, closed the door first, and then turned around.
"Wow!"
The old woman was startled by the woman sitting up from the bed.
The 'young lady' on the bed was also frightened by the old woman's reaction and shrank to the corner of the bed, asking nervously.
"You, who are you?"
The old woman had reacted at this time, and looking at the woman who had regained consciousness, the old woman's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Qin'er, you are finally awake!"
Before 'Qin'er' could react, the old woman had already put down the plate, rushed towards her, hugged her, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Qin'er... Is my name Qin'er? Do you know who I am?"
The woman asked nervously.
Hearing this, the old woman couldn't hold back her emotions.
"Qin'er, my poor daughter, don't you even remember your mother? What can I do, my poor daughter!"
Mother?
She is my mother?
Qin'er still felt strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, she just felt strange, everything was strange.
When the old woman's emotions stabilized a little, Qin'er began to ask about her situation.
It turned out that she was not a young lady, but an ordinary medicine shop clerk.
Because she was pretty, she could retain many customers. She worked in the medicine shop and earned a good income, but it was only slightly better than that of ordinary people.
According to the old woman, Qin'er had been investing in herself. She spent money to learn all kinds of knowledge, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The old woman always thought that her daughter was wasting money, but until one day, a young man suddenly came to ask for marriage, the old woman knew that her daughter was playing a big game.
She wanted to rely on her daughter to make her family prosperous, but her daughter refused the proposal of the rich young man, which made the old man and her so angry that they almost went to the coffin early.
"Sell at a high price, and sell at a higher price!"
Although the old woman did not say it clearly, it seemed that this was what she meant.
Qin'er frowned slightly. Although it was the old woman who was talking, she only felt that she just wanted to get out of such an environment and become better after listening to her story. She did not want to sell at a higher price.
The old woman's lips were almost worn out by this time. Recalling the past, every bit, she couldn't help but add fuel to the fire and said more.
"Mother..."
As soon as the word mother came out, Qin'er felt that it was extremely strange and awkward, as if she had never said this word in her life.
But Qin'er still suppressed her doubts and asked.
"Mother, if this is the case, our life should still be very stable, why did I suddenly lose my memory?"
Speaking of this, the old woman got angry.
"Who knows what happened to you? Just a few days ago, you just participated in the maid selection of the Bo family and stood out from so many people. Then, as soon as you got home, you suddenly fainted."
"You fainted for several days. If it weren't for your mother to invite a doctor to make medicine and feed you every day, you would have died long ago!"
After that, the old woman looked at you greedily.
"Qin'er, you don't know that the family has spent a lot of money taking care of you these days. The family is running out of money. Can you give some money from your pocket to help? The medicine prescribed by the old doctor is expensive. If you don't wake up, mother can't afford it."
Money?
Are you talking about money?
But... Qin'er didn't know where she put the money.
She shook her head woodenly, and then felt dizzy.
The old woman quickly supported her, and then went to bring the soup in the plate to Qin'er.
Qin'er was touched, but she didn't know that the herbs in the soup were all very cheap herbs, some of which were mixed with soil, like weeds picked up on the roadside, crushed and mixed together.
The only thing that could be called nutritious was a little bit of porridge residue at the bottom of the bowl.
"Mom, I feel better now. I want to go out and take a look."
"Okay, it's good to get some fresh air."
As Qin'er was helped out by her mother, she felt a stronger sense of strangeness.
Because everything in front of her was in sharp contrast to the images flashing through her mind.
In front of her was a shabby courtyard, with traces of people walking on the bumpy dirt ground.
And the scene in her memory, except for the steel monster, the ground was so clean, and the whole gave people a special sense of beauty.
"Qin'er? Qin'er!"
The old woman's voice brought her back to reality.
"Do you remember anything? For example, where did you put the silver you earned?"
Looking at the old woman's anxious look, Qin'er instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.
But thinking that his life was saved by the old woman, if it weren't for her, he would have died long ago if he hadn't eaten or drunk anything during the days of coma, and no one took care of him, he suppressed the discomfort and whispered.
"I can't remember anything."
The old woman's expression froze for a moment, and then she laughed dryly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Qin'er, think slowly, think slowly..."
The old woman was just talking about this, and suddenly there was a roar outside the door.
"I'm going to kill you! What's wrong with me killing you! What's wrong! I kill whoever I want to kill! And you, what are you looking at, you want me to kneel down for a broken game? Are you worthy!!"
As the voice sounded, there were a lot of rustling discussions outside the door.
The old woman was so scared that she hurried to see if the door of her house was closed.
And Qin'er looked a little weird.
Because the way the man spoke just now gave her a very familiar feeling, but she, who had lost her memory, couldn't think of why she had this feeling.
I hurried to the door and saw through the crack in the door that the arrogant man had his head chopped off by the team that had just arrived.
The head rolled on the ground, and blood spurted out.
The people around applauded, but Qin'er looked at the head of the strong man on the ground in confusion.
Although he was chopped off, the last remaining expression on the strong man's head was still so arrogant and proud, as if he didn't care about life and death at all.
He, isn't afraid of death?
A kind of curiosity, like a tickle, emerged from Qin'er's heart, making her very concerned.
"Sister, sister?"
A childish voice sounded from the back.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, rubbing her eyes, just came out of the house.
Sister... sister?
Is she my sister?
Just thinking of this, Qin'er suddenly had a strange woman's face in her mind.
Whose face is this? ?
Coming back to her senses, Qin'er found that she had been lying on the ground without knowing when, holding her head tightly with both hands, and she was dirty.
Looking ahead, the old woman was protecting the girl, staring at her with an extremely complex and indescribable expression.
"What... happened?"
Qin'er asked in confusion.
Unexpectedly, the old woman spoke in an extremely cold voice.
"... You are sick."
"The same disease as the guy who just died outside the door."
Dong Dong Dong!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Old woman, open the door quickly, I've invited the master! If Qin'er is really sick, we can sell her to Yudi Mansion and make a lot of money, and don't have to worry about the silver hidden by that woman!"
"Old woman! Open the door! Don't keep the master waiting for too long!"
Qin'er just lost her memory, not stupid.
Although she was a little confused, she still asked hurriedly.
"Mom, what is this..."
"Get out! Get out from the back door! I don't have a daughter like you!" The old woman roared in a low voice.
"Sister... Sister! What happened?" The ignorant girl was scared and cried.
The person outside the door seemed to realize something, and the knocking sound became louder.
After a moment of hesitation, Qin'er ran quickly to the back door.
Although she didn't know what was going on, she seemed to be running for her life!
As Qin'er left, the door, which was not strong to begin with, was completely knocked open.
An old man with a red nose glared at the old woman in the yard.
"Where are the people? Who did I hear you talking to just now! Shu'er, where is your sister! Is she awake? Where is she!"
Behind the red-nosed old man, followed a tall and strong man with a big knife on his back.
The strong man with a big knife on his back had many scars on his body, giving people a feeling of keeping strangers away. Just standing there was enough to scare the girl protected by the old woman to tears.
The crying made the red-nosed old man feel irritated, and he kicked open the room for his daughter to rest, but it was empty.
If he hadn't hoped that his daughter would find a job in the Bo family after waking up, such a good room would not be his daughter's turn to live in.
"Old woman..."
The gloomy old man with a red nose walked towards the old woman with a bloodstained wooden board.
He even beat her without caring about the presence of outsiders.
In an instant, shrill screams and pleas for mercy were heard in the dilapidated courtyard.
The joys and sorrows of small people cannot reach the ears of big people.
The eldest daughter of the Bo family, Bo Shan, who was far away, was watching the Bo family busy preparing for the upcoming wedding.
Her uneasy mood became more and more serious as the date approached.
The only thing that could divert her attention a little was that more and more people were infected with [blue blood disease] recently, and the means of dealing with them here became more and more rough.
And the matter of investigating the death of her younger brother Bo Fanfan, which her mother had asked before.
The former made the Bo family gradually intervene in this matter, and called in many doctors to study the bodies of the infected people.
The latter still needed to wait for news.
As long as it did not affect the overall situation, she did not mind having someone deal with the enemy who killed her brother.
This was her little selfishness. Of course, if the situation did not allow it, then it would just be an investigation, and there was no need to do anything extra.
She had made this clear to the investigation team, and they should know what to do.
"I hope everything goes well for them, and that returning with the head of their enemy would make my mother a little happier."
Boshan thought secretly and began to fall asleep.
At the same time, Tianyuan Town, far away from Leiting City, welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
"Is Tianyuan Town ahead?"
"Yes!"
"Are you all clear about our mission objectives? I'll repeat, find the murderer who killed Bo Fanfan, and then return to Thunder City immediately. All investigations should be carried out in a low-key manner. If you encounter an enemy, give priority to self-protection. Report any intelligence to me as soon as possible, understand?"
"Understood!"
The team leader Bo Wei glanced at the rising sun and waved his hand.
"Okay, let's go into the city."
The team began to enter Tianyuan Town.
But they didn't know that there was actually something following them.
"What a terrible formation... This town is interesting."
A faint voice appeared in the void and quickly disappeared.
...
In reality.
"Yawn!!"
Fang Yu suddenly sneezed.
I didn't blow dry my hair when I took a shower yesterday. Did I catch a cold?
Fang Yu was nervous. Although the Yudi Mansion and the Lin family had been at peace recently, there was something wrong no matter how you looked at it. It was almost like the calm before the storm, which made people feel creepy and always worried that something would suddenly happen.
I can't fall down because of a cold at this time.
Who would have thought that the invincible Diao Lord in the game, the acting captain of the Yudi Mansion, is a person who almost catches a cold when taking a bath in reality.
If Ding Hui and the others knew about this, I'm afraid they would be laughed to death.
Shaking his head slightly, Fang Yu drank the homemade coffee made by hand from the coffee beans purchased online. With the steaming hot air, he took a sip and felt much more awake.
Taking a bite of the freshly heated frozen meat bun, Fang Yu was very satisfied with the breakfast that combined Chinese and Western food.
Carefree and fat, Fang Yu felt that his income had increased recently, his food had improved, and even his weight seemed to have increased a lot.
He opened his mobile phone casually and was about to use it to open the game forum to browse the posts.
Suddenly, a pop-up advertisement popped up. Before Fang Yu could do anything, the pop-up advertisement started to jump automatically.
Fang Yu: ? ? ?
Is it so shameless now? Even if the mobile phone is held so steadily, it can jump automatically?
Subconsciously, I wanted to close the page after the jump, and the video content on the page had already started playing.
"... It is reported that "Seeking the Demon" has gradually become..."
Eh? Talking about games?
Fang Yu took a closer look, and it was amazing. It was the official account of the local media in Jiangnan City!
This surprised Fang Yu.
After all, games are a bit under the table, and official media accounts rarely mention them.
After listening carefully for a while, Fang Yu realized that the content of the official media account was about the recent part-time job problem of young people, that is, the economy is down and income is tight. When young people are looking for part-time jobs, they are more likely to target online games.
But experts commented that part-time jobs in online games are far less stable than traditional flyers, deliverymen, and restaurant waiters. It is easy to waste young people's rest time and get nothing.
Then they began to call on everyone to face life squarely, accompanied by the background music of the light of righteousness, everything is so beautiful.
If the game they criticized was replaced with other online games, Fang Yu would agree with this statement.
But "Seeking the Demon"... it is too stable and too popular!
The popularity has brought a stable gold price, and the stable gold price has made the game's gold-making income extremely cost-effective.
Even now, the popularity of "Seeking the Demon" has begun to intensify.
At the beginning, it was these professional gold-makers and game enthusiasts who kept an eye on the new game "Seeking the Demon" every day.
Now it seems that... even the old men and women who set up stalls on the roadside have started gossiping about this game.
The fashionable working white-collar workers regard playing "Seeking the Demon" as the latest trend.
The popularity has brought about breaking the circle, breaking the circle has attracted popularity, and then with solid quality, it continues to attract people to join the pit.
"Seeking the Demon" seems to have done nothing, relying on hard power and attracting publicity from the water, so that the game has begun to flourish.
However, Fang Yu is not sure how long "Seeking the Demon" can be popular. Half a year to a year should be no problem.
He must seize this opportunity and make a lot of money, so as not to waste the opportunity when the popularity of the game is over and he has not made enough money.
After watching a few more short videos, I found that some mainstream media have also started to give "Seeking the Devil" a screen.
Although they are just discussing the social impact of this game, the fact that it can be on such a semi-official platform shows that the popularity of the game is already quite high.
"It is worthy of the game I fell in love with at first sight!"
Fang Yu felt like his own child had grown up, and he was proud to show it to others.
Occasionally, he would fantasize that this game would become popular among the people, and that a professional competition would be held, and he would become a professional player and a global celebrity.
However, it was just a thought.
After drinking the last sip of coffee, he returned to the room and prepared to enter the game.
"Seeking the Devil, start!"
...
