Chapter 226
Today is a cloudy day with violent storms at sea.
However, the weather forecast did not predict this huge storm. The fishing boats fishing in the open sea hurried back to the port at full speed, and the cruise ship full of tourists also returned to the port in a wobbly manner.
The sea breeze rolled up the sand on the beach, and there was no one on the beach. The owner of the homestay was running around on the beach wearing slippers. He was going to put away all the big parasols on the beach, otherwise these umbrellas would be damaged by the wind. .
The torrential rain came as soon as it was said, and suddenly it began to rain. The raindrops became bigger and bigger, wet the golden beach, and the wind and waves on the sea became more and more violent.
The owner of the homestay put away the last umbrella and was about to return to the residence when he inadvertentlyWhen I turned around, I suddenly found a small fishing boat coming unsteadily on the sea. The small fishing boat was swaying in the wind and rain, and the waves were rough. The boat seemed to be swallowed by angry waves at any time.
The rain was really heavy, and the raindrops were so dense that it seemed that the sky and the earth were covered by a gray curtain.
The fishing boat was looming in the gray curtain, and there was thunder in the morning, and the continuous sound of rain and waves was in my ears, but the owner of the homestay shuddered, feeling the silence for no reason—a place covered by layers of gray curtains, At the junction of the sky and the sea, only the fishing boat slowly approached, like a ghost ship floating on the sea.
“What are you doing in the rain? Come in!” His wife’s voice woke him up.
“Oh oh oh! Here we come!” The owner of the homestay shrank his head, and ran back into the house with his spare arm blocking the rain.
The fishing boat was too far away from him. He didn’t see a person standing on the bow of the boat, a man in black clothes.
The fishing boat shook so violently, yet the man was able to stand firmly on the bow.
Behind him, the crew in the cabin were like silent guards, puppets without self-awareness, mechanized operating the fishing boat, controlling the boat to approach the coast.
Suddenly there was a loud noise from the bottom of the ship, and the ship actually hit the rocks, and the cabin was turned upside down.
The man shook his body, returned to the boat, and gave mental instructions to the crew. The crew immediately got up from the ground and tried to control the fishing boat, but the bottom of the fishing boat had already started to fill with water.
“It’s unlucky, it’s almost…” The man estimated the distance from the boat to the coast, “It seems that we can only swim across.”
He took a few steps into the cabin, lifted the collar of the man lying on the ground, and dragged him out of the boat.
The man on the ground had a miserable appearance and had already lost consciousness. His clothes were stained with blood, and his whole body was tightly bound with hemp rope. What was even more frightening was that under his skin, there seemed to be countless small granulation sprouts silently. The ground squirmed, and it was creepy to watch.
During the dragging process, the bound person regained a little consciousness, his eyes were loose, and he said, “Who the hell are you…”
The man smiled, “Didn’t I tell you a long time ago? My name is August.”
A sharp knife appeared in August’s hand. He stabbed the captive’s throat with one stab and bled him. The captive who lost too much blood immediately passed out again, and the wound on the throat slowly healed.
Augus pulled the rope on the deck, picked up a life buoy with sufficient buoyancy, and fixed the captive and the life buoy with the rope, then he lifted the captive with one hand, and threw him and the life buoy into the sea, deep blue water There was a trace of blood red in the blood, and the blood dissolved into the water, and soon it was completely invisible.
Augus glanced back at the crew on the ship, and thought briefly for two seconds, “Forget it… Doing it yourself will attract attention, leave it to the sea…”
He stepped on the ship’s side, jumped into the sea and grabbed the lifebuoy, and led the captive to break through the wind and waves with his arms, and swim to the shore.
…
It will be three days before Kai Xin’s suspension of school is completed.
The process of suspending school was full of twists and turns. The counselor asked about her family situation with concern, and repeatedly said that if she had any difficulties, she could tell the school, and the school would try its best to help her solve it. However, Kai Xin handled it well and finally got the suspend application successfully.
Standing outside the office of the department, she looked at the stamp of “suspension of study” on the blue student ID card, and couldn’t help exhaling, feeling relieved for a long time.
Finally, I was able to squeeze out time between my studies to deal with critical matters.
The counselor gave her two options. One was to suspend school for one academic year and take classes with the freshmen in the second year, which was equivalent to repeating the grade. The other was to suspend school for one semester. The missing credit courses need to squeeze in time to make up. At that time, you still have to take the coursework test with the freshmen to count the credits.
Kai Xin thought about it and chose the latter.
Half a year, this time is very long, the impact of the game on the real world is so great, and the changes are so drastic, if there is a doomsday in the future, then the cycle of this doomsday will definitely not be as long as half a year, maybe it will be longer quick.
Only two weeks have passed since the first batch of internal testing, and the second batch of internal testing has started. Perhaps in the near future, the third batch of internal testing will start. The number of players in the second batch of internal testing is ten times that of the first batch of internal testing. If the number of players in the third batch of internal testing is also ten times that of the second batch of internal testing, then the number of players will directly increase to one million.
At that time, the order of the first world will definitely be severely impacted, and the situation in the first world and the second world will also become clear.
Kai Xin put away her student ID card and walked out of the office building. She was thinking, is there any way to stop the game from continuing?
If the three batches of closed betas are launched, will there be many “anchor points” among the players? How easy is it to clear so many anchors?
Is there a way to stop… Is there a way to stop it? Kaixin was lost in thought.
“Sister.” Someone called her.
“Xi Liang?” Kai Xin turned his head.
“Are you here for business? I just saw you coming out of the office building.” Xi Liang said.
There’s nothing to hide about the suspension of school. You can figure it out after a little inquiring.
Kai Xin said directly, “I took a leave of absence from school.”
Xi Liang said understandingly: “That’s it… If it weren’t for the situation in my family that doesn’t allow it, I would also like to take a leave of absence… Universities in the two worlds are desperate to study, who can bear it!”
“I haven’t asked you yet, is your tuition settled yet?” Kai Xin asked.Say.
“I took out another loan, and their interest rate is quite high, and I may have to pay it back until I’m old.” Xi Liang said embarrassingly, “Education is better than no education, so let’s take the loan first, the future may be uncertain.” There will be a turning point.”
Kai Xin gave a “huh” if there was nothing.
“I’ve submitted the application.” Xi Liang said in a low voice, “Now we’re waiting for approval.”
Kai Xin glanced at him and nodded, “Just think it over carefully.”
“Senior sister, can you help me find out? Do I need to go through a test or something…”
Kai Xin pondered and said, “Let’s talk about it after you have communicated with Black Snake. If you pass, someone will definitely contact you.”
Xi Liang said nervously, “Okay, then I’ll wait.”
Kai Xin said goodbye to him, and walked straight to the house he rented.
When she came to the university, she didn’t bring much. The house she rented was empty, and she must have been unable to live in it recently. Although no one lives there, it is not a loss to rent a house. Anyway, the rent is cost-effective, and it is fine to use this place as her stronghold in another city. Kai Xin cannot guarantee future changes. It is always right to make more preparations .
She booked a ticket to return to Tonglin City tomorrow morning and needs to stay here for one more night.
Li Guanran’s research and investigation on the tobacco factory has come to a standstill. No matter whether they send live or dead objects into the tobacco factory, they will be swallowed up. It will be cut off inexplicably, and the things tied to it will disappear.
The players who gathered in Tonglin City to participate in the night patrol patrolled hard every day, but nothing happened for several days in a row. Everyone’s tense nerves relaxed a little, and they slacked off.
In the past few days when nothing happened, the atmosphere on the forum has returned to calm. The news of Black Snake’s personal board expansion recruitment has gradually subsided after several days of fermentation and discussion.
Kai Xin took advantage of this time to be busy with identity verification, and the number of people in her personal forum gradually increased, and now there are 500 people.
In the midst of the crisis, the players gained temporary peace, but there was a bigger crisis hidden under this peace.
Kai Xin took a shower in the private bathroom of the rental house, and while brushing his hair, he received a message from Yu Hanxue: “I convinced my aunt, she let me stay for a few more days to observe the situation, and if the situation is stable, she will do it for me.” Let me go back to Tonglin City for treatment. Have you completed the procedures for suspension of school?”
“It’s done. I’ve booked a ticket, and I’ll go back to my hometown tomorrow.” Kui Xin typed a line, “I’m relatively free now, why don’t I visit you? Do you want to eat something? I’ll bring it for you.”
Because Yu Hanxue is obviously a patient, she needs to avoid food and can’t eat anything, so she has been very greedy during this time, and yesterday she complained to Kai Xin that she hadn’t eaten hot pot for a long time.
Kai Xin couldn’t bring her the hot pot, but she could still bring Yu Hanxue’s favorite spicy noodles and hot pot-flavored crispy rice.
Unexpectedly, Yu Hanxue refused, “No need for Xin Xin, you can rest, you must be very tired during this time. I have a nurse to take care of me tonight, so it’s not convenient to eat.”
“I can go there quietly in the middle of the night.” Kai Xin said.
“That’s so troublesome to you, just listen to me and take a good rest.” Yu Hanxue said.
Kai Xin frowned, and replied, “Okay.”
After wiping her hair, Kai Xin lay on the bed, feeling something was wrong.
She is leaving tomorrow. According to Yu Hanxue’s personality, she will meet her anyway, because the next meeting may be in a week or two. It’s just a spicy stick, but she repeatedly shirks it… It doesn’t fit her character.
When she was in junior high school, Yu Hanxue was so bold that she dared to encourage Kai Xin to escape the school’s summer cram school, and the two sisters both skipped class.
Kai Xin lay on the bed covered with a blanket, squinted his eyes and fell asleep for a while.
In the middle of the night, she opened her eyes, put on her clothes and changed her shoes, dressed up in a disguise, and climbed up to the academy’s wall to avoid surveillance.
On the way, she bought two packs of Latiao and crispy rice from the vending machine.
The night was very quiet, and the subway was out of service. It took some time for Kai Xin to rush to the hospital.
But when she pushed away from Yu Hanxue’s ward, there was no one on the bed, only a pile of bandages scattered.
The nurse was lying beside the bed, sleeping soundly. Kai Xin called her twice, but failed to wake her up.
A gust of wind blew past, and the wind lifted the curtains of the ward. Behind the curtains, the glass windows were wide open.
Kai Xin looked at the window solemnly, her secret intuition fluctuated her nerves.
Yu Hanxue is not here! She gave the nurse the medicine and left the hospital quietly… What is she going to do?
