Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Lu Ze was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

"What the hell? The Gate of Truth?" he blurted out instinctively. "You think you're in a TV drama?!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the scene in that deep alley a few days ago involuntarily came to mind.

A monk in robes appeared out of nowhere, a blade blazing with flames, and a corpse that vanished into fine sand.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but found his voice stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

Bonya sat beside him, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Her expression remained calm, but a strange glimmer flashed in her gray eyes.

Liu Wenbo took in both of their reactions.

He pushed up his glasses, his gaze falling on Bangya, his tone carrying a hint of understanding.

"It seems that Bonya knows something."

Lu Ze was taken aback when he heard this, then he turned his head sharply to look at Bangya beside him.

Bonya did not avoid his gaze.

She simply met his gaze calmly and nodded slightly.

"Yes, I know."

Even she knew that.

Lu Ze opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He was kept in the dark about his feelings all by himself!

No wonder she reacted so quickly and grabbed him before the monk appeared.

I knew about it all along.

Lu Ze first looked at Liu Wenbo, then at Bangya, his mind filled with many unanswered questions.

What exactly is the Gate of Truth?

What is its connection to those monks in robes?

Why does Liu Wenbo possess such extraordinary power?

How did Bonya know all this?

Everything seemed to revolve around this thing called the Gate of Truth.

But Bonya didn't seem to have any intention of explaining anything to him.

She simply looked at him quietly, her gray eyes revealing no emotion.

The two just stared at each other, neither of them speaking first.

Liu Wenbo looked at the two staring at each other and shook his head helplessly.

He coughed lightly, drawing their attention back to himself.

"Then let me explain."

Luze and Bonya turned their gazes to him at the same time.

"This story begins ten years ago," Liu Wenbo said.

Lu Ze's lips twitched slightly, and the classic old joke involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Why don't you start from the time of Pangu creating the world?

But he didn't say it aloud, because Liu Wenbo's expression didn't look like he was joking.

Despite the complaints, Liu Wenbo continued to explain.

Lu Ze did indeed learn from him that the so-called "Gate of Truth" was not actually a real door.

It is a game.

Or rather, it's a game bundle.

According to Liu Wenbo, more than ten years ago, a strange post suddenly appeared on a niche gaming forum.

The poster ID for this post is blank, the profile picture is also blank, and there is no information in the personal profile section.

It's like a post from someone who doesn't exist.

At the time, some people found it suspicious and tried to trace the origin of the post through IP address, but unfortunately, no one succeeded in the end.

It is said that this incident caused a small stir in the hacker community at the time—that whoever could find the poster's real information could prove that they were the strongest hacker of the modern era.

Of course, the final result is that no one has been able to find out who posted this message.
