On the 19th of June, in the real world, City S.
One week ago, Feng Bujue and Li Ruo Yu visited the inner world together and successfully returned to the log-in lobby before dawn.
No one knew where they went and what they did.
That night, the four teammates who were in the scenario with them only saw the two of them mysteriously disappear from the rooftop of Ghost Power Company.
After that, the scenario mysteriously ended.
Since V1 Wargod had disappeared from the scenario, the system immediately judged that the players had completed the quest and completed the requirement to clear the scenario.
For Wang Tanzhi, Gu Xiao Ling, Tired Dream, and Tan Lang, this should have been good news because they had cleared this Nightmare Mode Team Dungeon with just one battle.
However, the four of them didn't seem to be very happy after clearing the stage.
Tired Dream was fine, but he was confused. Tan Lang, on the other hand, was worried. As a member of Blades, he had seen so many weird things in this scenario, so he had to write a detailed report to his superiors. Regarding Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling, they were very worried.
Thankfully, there was one thing that was certain … in the log-in lobby, through the friend list, they could see that Feng Bujue and Passing Rain were in-game. It was because of this that Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling did not call or rush to the two's home to check on them.
The next day, Brother Bujue and Ruo Yu, who returned, said that they had only activated a hidden quest and entered a new map. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
Hearing that, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling did not ask any more questions.
Therefore … the matter was left unsettled.
One week passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Feng Bujue and Ruo Yu had been paired up. The time they spent online had obviously increased, and their level and ability had increased significantly. Obviously … they had come to some kind of agreement, deal, or conspiracy with Ruo Yu.
But on the surface, they still pretended that nothing had happened, saying that they did not purposely go to level up.
And this behavior … from an outsider's perspective, there was a different meaning behind it.
Considering the strange conversation they had on the rooftop that night, the other three from Underworld Frontline naturally thought of 'that'.
Of course, as Feng Bujue and Ruo Yu's friends, family, and colleagues in real life … Xiao Tan, Xiao Ling, and An Yueqin very wisely chose to play dumb. Their mentality was simple — if the two weirdos wanted to have a secret date in a scary game, then let them....
..
. 1 pm on the 19th, in front of a coffee shop.
"Hmm … Late," Feng Bujue said, "I'm working at my family's home, I'm at home.... and I have cars … more than one....................................................
"Huh? Feng Bujue? "Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind Brother Jue.
The voice sounded familiar, but it was not the person Brother Jue was waiting for.
Feng Bujue's expression changed slightly when he heard the voice. He searched in the Temple of Thought and remembered … the owner of the voice was his high school ex-girlfriend.
"Oh … It's you …" Brother Jue slowly turned around and said, "Long time no see."
The girl in front of him was wearing a very simple dress. She looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old student, but her actual age was the same as Brother Jue's, twenty-four.
"Yeah … It's been a long time …" The girl continued. "About … five years?"
"Almost," Feng Bujue replied. He deliberately pretended to be absent-minded.
"You seem … to have grown taller?" the girl said.
"A little." Feng Bujue did not want to say more, so he tried to be cold and brief.
"Haha … You're much more handsome than you were in high school," the girl said.
"Is that so …" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and said casually.
Actually, Brother Jue had only casually combed his hair and put on a random long-sleeved T-shirt, a random pair of jeans, and a random pair of sneakers. He had been complimented on his appearance in such a casual situation, but he did not take advantage of the opportunity to show off. That went to show how desperate he was to end this conversation.
"Oh! I've seen you on TV before … "The girl's desire to talk didn't seem to decrease at all." It's that show called 'I'm a Writer, Please Criticize Me'. You're so good! "
"It's okay …" Brother Jue answered calmly, but internally, he was thinking, Hey, hey … I've been eliminated, okay? How can you praise me like that? Look at this, something is not right … Could it be that this is some kind of 'fate' that we ran into each other? Combined with the fact that he is single now, he wants to reconnect with me so that he can use me as a backup or something like that?
(Note: The fact that the man is currently single, Brother Jue found out through observation and deduction. For him, this level of deduction is almost instinctive. When he stands on the street and has nothing to do, he'll look at the passersby and do some irresponsible analysis to pass the time …)
"By the way … You haven't come to any of the class reunions for the past few years. Since we've met so coincidentally today, why don't you give me your phone number? A lot of old classmates want to contact you, but they can't." As expected, the girl said something that Brother Jue didn't want to hear.
"Hmm … A lot of old classmates who want to contact me …" Feng Bujue mumbled.
Who was Brother Jue? Once he heard that, he knew that the man was just trying to find an excuse to get his phone number.
"Hmph … Young girl, you should know when to stop talking nonsense." Feng Bujue sneered in his heart. "Based on what I did in school … those who 'want' to contact me, or rather … dare to contact me, are only those people from the 'Feng Bujue Annihilation Planning Committee' and the 'Avengers Alliance' … Plus, we're all in our twenties now. Those kinds of chuunibyou organizations should be long gone …"
"What's wrong? Is there an inconvenience? "The girl saw that Feng Bujue still hadn't picked up the phone, so she looked confused.
"Oh no … I can't think of an excuse." Brother Jue thought. He was sweating … He really didn't want to have anything to do with his ex-girlfriend, and he didn't want to contact his old classmates who weren't his friends.
Feng Bujue didn't use social media and rarely disclosed his personal information. He wanted to keep his social circle small. But in this situation, the girl was just talking to him normally … If he didn't even give her his phone number, it would be too weird and ungentlemanly …
"Fu — I say, you're really something …"
Just as Brother Jue was at his wit's end and was about to give in, another voice rang out.
Feng Bujue turned around and saw Ruo Yu.
She was still dressed in the same way, black T-shirt, jeans, and her medium-length hair casually draped over her shoulders.
But … Ruo Yu was actually smoking right now.
"Uh …" Brother Jue saw this scene and froze on the spot, speechless.
"I went to buy a pack of cigarettes and another one popped up, right?" Ruo Yu's tone was like that of a female hooligan. She crossed her left hand in front of her chest and held the cigarette in her right hand. She stared at Feng Bujue unhappily and said, "Tell me … how long have you been hiding this?"
"Uh …" Brother Jue still didn't know how to respond.
"You're not going to tell me? You don't have to, you're not telling the truth anyway. " Ruo Yu quickly added, then tilted her head and glanced at Brother Jue's ex-girlfriend. "Girl … let me give you a piece of advice. It's fine if you're just being tricked, but you have to take care of your money. Don't get sold without even knowing it. Also … if this bastard takes you to get an abortion, you have to insist on going to a proper hospital. Last time he took someone to an illegal clinic … "
Before she finished speaking, the girl had already turned around and walked away … as if she was running away from the plague. Before she left, she glanced at Brother Jue with disgust. It seemed like she regretted taking the initiative to talk to him.
Ruo Yu waited for the man to walk away and disappear around a corner before putting down the cigarette. "Cough cough … Ah cough …" She covered her mouth and coughed violently several times. It took her more than ten seconds to catch her breath. "Phew … Smoking is so suffocating …"
"Hey …" Brother Jue was shocked. He stared at Ruo Yu and asked, "What's going on?"
"Oh, it's like this …" Ruo Yu said as she put out the cigarette and threw the whole pack of cigarettes and lighter into a trash can by the side of the road. Then, she raised her finger and pointed behind Brother Jue. "Just now, I walked around the corner and happened to see you talking to her. Seeing that you were in a difficult situation, I quickly turned around and bought cigarettes and a lighter from the cigarette shop around the corner. Then, I came over to help you out. "
"Woah …" Brother Jue wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "You're quite good at acting. You managed to scare me."
"Same here …" Ruo Yu said as she turned around.
"Thank you so much this time …" Brother Jue said, "I owe you one."
"It's okay." Ruo Yu said, "If I wasn't late, we would already be sitting in the shop, and this wouldn't have happened."
In fact, she was also quite depressed. Because it was troublesome to find a parking space outside, she took a taxi. On the way, there was a traffic jam, so she was more than ten minutes late.
"Anyway … Let's go in first …" Feng Bujue changed the topic at the right time.
"Okay." Ruo Yu responded, and the two walked into the cafe behind them.
