Chapter 473 Shattered Dream
There is a door between Zheng Xun and Zheng Lin.
Ying Siming had already reminded him that Zheng Lin would not agree to his return to the Second World.
Zheng Xun was also on guard against such a move by the other party. He had planned to go downstairs in advance, but was still stopped by Zheng Lin.
Zheng Xun usually dealt with his brother in the following way - steps, first play pity, then sensationalize, and if all failed, go crazy.
"Brother, why are you locking me up? My mental state has not been very stable recently. I will get claustrophobic if you do this."
Zheng Lin now has his own way to deal with him. He stopped him when he got to the step of playing pity.
"Don't make up nonsense, do you think I can believe it?"
"I..."
"Forget about sensationalism and going crazy, it's useless."
Zheng Lin directly cut off all his subsequent words.
Zheng Xun was a little anxious this time. Yunqi Group was investigating very closely, and the time left for them was very limited.
The Second World was ready to make a deposit tonight, and they couldn't delay.
Zheng Xun began to add value to Zheng Lin.
"Brother, what I have to do tonight is really important. It concerns many people...even your life and mine! If we delay, there will be no room for maneuver!"
"Zheng Xun, if you are trying to save others, forget it. I don't care about the life and death of others, especially...this matter requires your own life."
"Brother--"
"I know what you are going to do, Zheng Xun."
Zheng Lin's calm voice came from the door.
At first, he didn't take the White Tower game seriously. At that time, Zheng Xun had to receive treatment in the Seventh Hospital, and he had few friends.
Some of his friends of similar age recovered, left the hospital, and never came back.
Some will never come back.
Zheng Xun was also young at that time, and he only faced illness and death every day. The friend who was playing ball with him yesterday was lying on the operating table today, covered with a layer of white cloth and pushed out.
Life is so easy to disappear, like a transparent soap bubble, rising and falling until it bursts.
In such a depressed mood, Zheng Xun used the computer given to him by his brother to create a "Happy Community".
At that moment, Zheng Xun did feel happy.
Zheng Lin had a lot of things to do in school during those years, and he couldn't be with him all the time. He had tried his best to take care of Zheng Xun.
Besides, Zheng Xun was at the age when he was tired of his brother, and he was quite repulsive to Zheng Lin's existence. Not only because of the rebellious period, but more because he couldn't go back to his original world.
He knew in his heart that Zheng Lin did nothing wrong in this matter, so he was just venting his anger on his innocent brother.
Whenever Zheng Xun thought about it, he couldn't figure out whether he was annoyed with his brother or simply didn't like himself like this.
Vicious cycle.
Zheng Lin saw the changes in his brother's mood. Zheng Lin needed friends and company.
So Zheng Lin created two friends for him, friends who would never betray him.
Yiyuan and Nanqiang were born with such a mission.
Nanqiang was lively and cheerful, and Yiyuan was calm and gentle. The appearance of the two bionic people added a lot of color to Zheng Xun's originally gloomy life.
As lifeless beings, although they cannot have emotions, their meticulous care for Zheng Xun provides him with rich emotional value.
After Zheng Xun lived with them for a while, he was not as repulsive to his brother Zheng Lin as before.
That was indeed a warm time.
Whenever he recalled it, he would smile.
Zheng Lin's vigilance also gradually decreased during this period of time. He completely forgot how Zheng Xun came to this world and appeared in front of him.
Zheng Xun needs a normal life. He wants to go to school, meet more peers, and have new friends.
He knew that if he made this request directly to his brother, Zheng Lin would never agree.
So he adopted a roundabout tactic and first persuaded Nanqiang and Yiyuan to stand on his side.
Nanqiang naturally needs no mention. She unconditionally supports all decisions of Zheng Xun.
As for Yiyuan...
Although he was created by Zheng Lin with himself as a reference, Zheng Lin always felt that this cold machine was much softer than himself when facing Zheng Xun.
Zheng Xun only said it to him three times, and he agreed. Then the three of them joined hands to deal with Zheng Lin alone.
Zheng Lin was so angry and amused that he finally agreed to let Zheng Xun go to school.
He had carefully weighed the pros and cons of this matter. It was not that Zheng Xun would be satisfied just by making trouble here a few times.
If Zheng Xun went to school, he would have more contact with the outside world, and his connection with this world would increase, and he would become more and more dependent on this place.
This feeling has decreased in the past two years, but Zheng Lin has not forgotten how anxious he was in the past few years, fearing that Zheng Xun and Zheng Xun would not be in this world when he opened his eyes.
Zheng Xun had to stay here willingly.
So Zheng Lin sent Zheng Xun to school after giving him a period of cram school lessons.
After that, Zheng Xun did live a happier life.
He was smart and outgoing, and teachers and classmates liked him. His high school life was smooth sailing.
The only thing that made him sad was probably that a girl was killed in Huaiyin No. 4 Middle School that year. Zheng Xun said that he had seen this girl several times in the corridor after class. She was very quiet, didn't talk much, always had a shy smile on her face, and blushed easily when talking to others.
She had good academic performance and was beautiful. Zheng Xun had also heard of her name.
At that time, she was bullied by a girl in the same class. Zheng Xun, who happened to pass by, saw her. He stood up and severely reprimanded the bullying girls, and then sent the girl out of the school gate.
Zheng Xun didn't remember this good deed at that time, and he didn't mention it to anyone. It wasn't until the girl met with misfortune that Zheng Xun suddenly remembered that they had such an intersection.
He said that at the school gate that day, he told the girl that if she encountered any trouble, she could go to Class 1, Grade 1 to find him.
But the girl never took the initiative to seek help from him, perhaps because it was difficult to speak, or because she didn't have time to speak...
This incident touched Zheng Xun greatly. In the copy of Huaiyin No. 4 Middle School, he put the girl's experience in it, and the whole process of the player's clearance was the process of revenge for the girl.
But he didn't expect that Xiaoyin, as an NPC, actually had self-awareness.
The game designed for commemoration at the beginning became a cage that trapped Xiaoyin.
...
Zheng Lin knew Baita games very well. Zheng Xun never designed games behind his back, and occasionally they would cooperate.
After graduating from high school, Zheng Xun successfully entered A University, which is also Zheng Lin's alma mater.
At that time, Zheng Lin had already begun to consider Zheng Xun's future path, and he also asked Zheng Xun about his own thoughts.
Zheng Xun has now completely integrated into the world here, and his life is on the right track. Like all young people of this age, he has to consider his future after graduating from college.
Zheng Xun said that he wanted to go to work directly, but Zheng Lin thought it was unnecessary.
His family is not short of money, and Zheng Xun is so smart that he has sufficient conditions to continue his studies.
Zheng Lin said that he can choose any university at home or abroad.
But Zheng Xun is not happy.
They are like ordinary brothers, arguing because of differences of opinion. Zheng Xun has a bad temper and is stubborn. He leaves his good side to outsiders and shows his unreasonable side to his brother.
Zheng Lin also has a headache. It seems that the sequelae of Zheng Xun's rebellious period will last for a long time.
He thought about it for several nights in a row, and finally decided to give in. If Zheng Xun wants to go to work, let him go to work.
The meat is delicious after being beaten by the society, and after being cut a few times, he knows how cheap he is, and how good his family is to him.
At that time, Zheng Lin thought they would continue to live like this. The two brothers might have conflicts, but they would make up after a few quarrels. The days were plain but warm. He could imagine Zheng Xun wearing a bachelor's gown at the graduation ceremony.
But the good times did not last long. Soon, Yunqi Group investigated Zheng Xun's identity, and all his dreams were shattered.
