After seeing Tomoka Akikawa, Fan Ren said nothing, but walked to the other side and looked like two door gods with Tomoka Akikawa, guarding the door of the cafe.

Fortunately, there were many guests in and out, and the atmosphere between the two did not seem too awkward.

"Hello."

Akikawa Tomoka came over while Fan Ren was not paying attention.

“…”

Fan Ren looked at the crowd in the square expressionlessly, his mouth squirmed:

"Hello, Ms. Akikawa Tomoka, we're meeting again."

"May I have your name?"

Faced with such strange conversations from Akikawa Tomoka, Fan Ren was stunned. He was not narcissistic enough to think that the other party fell in love with him at first sight, but Akikawa Tomoka's conversations were too vegetarian.

He hesitated for a few seconds and finally said, "Call me Black Sheep."

"That's not your real name, right?"

"No, Akikawa Tomoka is not your real name, right?"

Akigawa Tomoka tilted her head: "Yes, not, I gave this name to myself."

Fan Ren was a little at a loss. This was the first time he had met such a person. He felt like a piece of white paper without any impurities.

Is the other party not having parents? He always feels that he is more simple than the students in the ivory tower, and he looks like he has never dealt with others.

If the other party relies solely on acting, this woman who claims to be Akigawa Tomoka may be able to win the Best Actress Award.

"What's your original name?"

"I can't say it."

Immediately, Akikawa Tomoka pointed at herself with her fingers and then pointed Fan Ren: "We are the same kind."

"I know this, otherwise we wouldn't have encountered it in this place." Fan Ren's lips trembled.

“No…”

At this moment, a heavy man's voice came over:

"Announcing, what do you two call me?"

The man was wearing a slim black shirt, his eyes full of scrutiny of Fan Ren and Akikawa Tomoka.

"Black Sheep."

"Akigawa Tomoka, are you the cat-headed person in the chat group?"

The man in a black shirt smiled and said, "Yes, just call me a cat."

"Okay, Mr. Cat." Akigawa Tomoka's head was light, but there was still no expression on his face.

Looking at the two, the man who claimed to be a cat smiled even more: "I feel that both of them are very interesting, and they are unexpectedly matched together."

"Mr. Cat, please stop joking. It's okay if I'm a man. If you say this, Ms. Tomoka Akigawa will be very troubled."

"I'm fine." Akigawa Tomoka said.

Fan Ren was a little helpless, so he took out his cell phone:

"I'm the person who said in the chat group that he has a relationship with Akimi Ishida. Mr. Cat, can I send a message to Nishiguchi Ai now?"

"It turns out that I am afraid that my ex-girlfriend Akimi Ishida is jealous and angry, Brother Black Sheep." The cat said in a joking tone.

“…”

The smile on the corner of the cat's mouth became more and more eye-catching:

"Just kidding, in such a place that may die at any time, I just want to liven up the atmosphere and don't be too nervous."

"Anyway...it doesn't seem to matter if you die."

Hearing this sentence, a trace of undetectable haze flashed in Fan Ren's eyes. The man named Cat was not strong. On the contrary, he was very gentle, but the last sentence he said still exposed his current mental state.

Sure enough, the character of the high-level God-Selected Person will be distorted and transformed in a specific aspect due to the high pressure of the Curse Land mission. However, why does Akigawa Tomoka beside her seem so normal in comparison?

"Go back to the topic, you can send a message to Xikou Ai now. Just post as I said in the group." The smile at the corner of the cat's mouth disappeared, and his expression turned into a serious one.

"good."

While agreeing, Fan Ren quickly sent a message from the initial chat group:

"@Xikou Ai, the police came to see me today, and I was still a little worried about Akimi. I actually know where she is. She just sent me a message and said that she had found a way to crack the curse, so after that happened last night, she ran to Xia Shu's house."

"Really?" Ai Xikou replied to the message in seconds.

"Well, that's what she said. Xia Shu doesn't talk in the group now. I'm afraid something will happen to them. I think it's better for you to go to Xia Shu's house with us."

——Fan Ren.

"us?"

——Xikou Love.

"Yes, everyone has discussed it. Since the problem may appear on that video tape, we will go to Xia Shu's house together to see it. There are many people and great power, not to mention that it may be just a coincidence. If it is a coincidence, we can also find Mingmei and comfort her. After all, if such a thing happens, everyone will feel uncomfortable."

——Fan Ren.

"Yes, most of us have made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the cafe in the Central Plaza. Come on."

——Cat's head.

"...Okay, I'll be there soon."

——Xikou Love.

In the dim living room.

Lin Anran, who was sleeping on the computer desk, suddenly woke up. His face was pale and he began to breathe heavily. There was sweat that had lost its temperature and became cold on his forehead.

He had a nightmare, an extremely terrifying nightmare, but strangely, when he tried to recall it again, he could not remember any details about the dream.

Only the remaining throbbing of the heart and the excessive reaction of the body are warning the horror of the nightmare just now.

Lin Anran took a deep breath, then raised his hand and took away the sweat from the corner of his forehead.

He stared at the computer screen that emitted a faint fluorescent light in front of him, and then trembled out the cigarette from the wrinkled cigarette box at hand.

As the lighter sounded, the swaying flames dispelled the coldness and dimness in the living room.

Light a cigarette.

Take a sip.

A curling smoke appeared around the man and then dissipated.

It repeats itself like a cycle.

Lin Anran skillfully completed a series of movements, obviously, he was an old smoker.

In the dim light of the computer screen, the man's face appeared and became blurred in the haze.

Listening to the voice of the game anchor on the computer and the paralysis of cigarettes.

The palpitations calmed down a little.

But the trembling feeling brought by the nightmare never disappeared, like a cervix attached to the bone, making Lin Anran scratch his heart with all his claws.

I always feel that it is a bad omen, he smiled bitterly.

With another sharp sip, Lin Anran pressed the half-white cigarette butt vigorously into the old ashtray.

Suppressing the fear and anxiety in his heart that he refused to leave for a long time, the man started his own work.

He picked up the mouse, used the permissions, raised his hand and banned the anchors from the live broadcast room hanging on the computer to ban the trolls that were flooding the screen.

At this moment, he seemed to be the main player in charge of the battle.

This is Lin Anran’s job, a live broadcast room manager and operation.

The handsome male anchor who is broadcasting the game live is his friend who grew up in an orphanage, named Fan Ren.

Based on the rapid development of VR technology and the renewed fire of the concept of the metaverse.

The games and accompanying live broadcast industry, which were gradually declining, have even greater room for development.

Game anchors have become one of the hottest jobs in this new century.

Fan Ren is the best among them.

Thinking of it, Lin Anran glanced at the VR game warehouse placed in a corner, and began to feel a little moved by the greatness of this thing called science.

It is the VR game warehouse developed by this parallel group that prompted the arrival of the meta-universe game era.

This VR game warehouse can read all the data of the user, copy all the situations of the user's body, appearance, etc., and completely load it into the game, allowing the user to experience the game with empathy.

After Lin Anran stretched his waist after saying some of the words on the barrage were obviously slandered by other anchors and the ban on wheelbarrows.

So cold!

The man unconsciously had a cold war.
