darkest personality

Chapter 303 303. Cousin
After exiting the game, the real time was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly from the window.

"This game was played for at least 12 hours."

Bai Ye took off his helmet, sat up straight from the sofa, and his body bones made the characteristic 'cackling' sound after a long period of inactivity.

He noticed that the breathing light was flashing on the communicator at the side, took it out and looked it up, and found that Ding Ri had called him half an hour ago.

"Come to play games with me so early in the morning? Isn't this guy so diligent?"

Thinking of this, Bai Ye called Ding Ri.

The call was quickly connected, and a virtual screen was drawn above the communicator, and Ding Ri's sleepy look appeared on the screen, as if he had just woken up.

"I said, why didn't you answer my call just now?"

Ding Ri yawned long, with a look of exhaustion from lack of sleep.

"Just in the game, I didn't receive the prompt."

"No, brother, are you waking up early in the morning too diligently? Or playing games all night?"

Ding Ri exclaimed in an exaggerated tone: "Why are you working so hard for the bonus?"

"What did you want me to do so early in the morning?"

Bai Ye didn't bother to explain to him, and asked the key points directly.

"Oh, it's not that I'm looking for you."

Ding Ri restrained his surprised expression, and there was a little confusion on his face.

"It's my cousin, the one I met at the Science and Technology Museum last time."

"?"

Bai Ye frowned slightly when he heard the words, and immediately recalled some abnormalities shown by the other party when he and his cousin Ding Ri met for the first time - the cousin mentioned the name 'Mu Jingbai' to him, and asked him who he knew. Don't know this person.

The cousin obviously knew something related to Bai Ye, and initially suspected that the content might be about Bai Ye's life experience.

"What's the matter with me, cousin?"

"I don't know too well. She just asked me to contact you and asked you to go to this address around twelve noon today."

While talking, Ding Ri operated his communicator twice, and sent Bai Ye an address location.

……

A cafe located in a tourist attraction in Shuguang District.

Bai Ye found this place according to the location given to him by Ding Ri.

He opened the door and walked in. The cafe is small in size, and the decoration is small and fresh. The room is filled with a faint fragrance of coffee. There is an orange cat and a white cat fighting on the cat shelf by the door. Behind the bar counter at the opposite door stood a young man wearing glasses, who gave Bai Ye a welcome smile.

Bai Ye glanced around the cafe, there were only three tables of customers, at the table by the window - from that position you could just see the small street outside, sitting a woman wearing a women's trench coat, with a belt on the bridge of her nose Woman in sunglasses.

Bai Ye walked in that direction, the woman was staring at the small street outside the window in a daze, and didn't realize it until Bai Ye walked in.

She took off her sunglasses, her expression was a little serious and cold, but her appearance matched that of Cousin Ding Ri that Bai Ye met in the Science and Technology Museum earlier.

"Your name is Bai Ye, right? Please sit down."

The cousin sized up Bai Ye, then looked at the position opposite her.

After Bai Ye sat down, she briefly introduced herself.

"My name is Ding Yi. You may not know me, but I have seen you since you were only this young."

The cousin stretched out her hand to compare the size of a 'baby', and a rare smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but then she gently covered up the smile, as if a pleasant memory was fleeting.

"I'm currently working in the 'Illusionary World Engine' Virtual Reality Co., Ltd., which is the research and development company of the game "Pale Dawn" you are currently playing."

Bai Ye already knew this, so Ding Yi didn't introduce too much.

"You came to me, do you want to talk to me about Mu Jingbai?"

Bai Ye leaned back and put his hands and fingers on the coffee table.

"Sorry, I lost my temper at that time."

Ding Yi shook her head slightly, with a wry smile on her face, "It's really you...you look too much like that person."

"Who is Mu Jingbai?" Bai Ye asked without thinking.

"If there is no misunderstanding, she should be your mother."

Ding Yi raised her head and stared deeply at Bai Ye.

"She was also my former mentor, boss, and one of the founders of Fantasy Engine Company."

The moment he heard this answer, a certain emotional string in the depths of Bai Ye's mind was plucked for an instant, and an inexplicable and complicated feeling appeared in his heart, but this feeling was so profound. fuzzy and distant.

"Oh... really? Is she okay then?"

Bai Ye hesitated for two seconds before speaking, his voice became a little cold.

"She died, when you were less than two years old."

Ding Yi stretched out her hand to support her forehead, but quickly put it down again. She tremblingly picked up a pack of cigarettes on the table, smoked one and put it in her mouth. As her lips moved, the top of the cigarette immediately ignited spontaneously. stand up. (Cigarettes in this era no longer need an open flame to ignite, just inhale directly)

The light white smoke rose, and she turned her gaze out of the window again.

For the first time since entering the cafe, Bai Ye had a more excited reaction. His crossed fingers on the table suddenly tightened.

Although I have thought about the situation of my relatives for a long time, do they still exist in this world?But imagination is far less powerful than hearing the news of death.

"what reason?"

Bai Ye stared at Ding Yi, and his tone sounded a little refusal.

Ding Yi sighed, shook her head and said, "I don't know, the case report given by the police stated that he committed suicide and jumped from the 19th floor of Second Life..."

"Second Life?"

Bai Ye's pupils shrank suddenly.

Sure enough...

The source of the matter is most likely related to his heart.

"Yes."

Ding Yi snuffed out the cigarette butt in her hand, and gave Bai Ye a complicated look.

"As for why your mother committed suicide, maybe only Dr. Zhou Yucheng, the person in charge of the Second Life Company, knows. He was the only witness who was there at the time, but this part of the content was consciously covered up by the police. Even the surveillance cameras at the time The records were completely destroyed...There are too many suspicious points and unknown reasons..."

When Ding Yi said this, she seemed to be paying attention to Bai Ye's reaction. It seemed that Bai Ye's calm reaction made her feel that something was wrong. She seemed to think of something suddenly, and then added: "That's right, you may not have the past After all, you were too young at that time, you didn't even remember that Zhou Yucheng was your biological father."

……

This heavy news finally made Bai Ye lose his composure.

At this moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. In the past 20 years of his life with memories, he had fantasized about his parents more than once, and how he would hear about them one day in the future. news.

But what he didn't expect was that what he heard about his parents was so complicated and full of conspiracy.

"In the past few days, I have investigated your file information. The teacher will send you to the orphanage before your accident, and change your name. It is likely to let you avoid certain people and certain people. something."

Ding Yi sat upright on the chair, and finally began to talk about her purpose of finding Bai Ye out.

"It can be seen that you are very likely to be the cause of all these things. I asked you to come here because I want to remind you... Please protect yourself, especially don't have any kind of relationship with 'Second Life' touch."
