Yukihara thought that after getting off the Ferris wheel, the progress would be pushed directly to the next day, just like in the first week.But after his vision changed from dark to bright, he returned to the bedroom, and the system automatically changed him into pajamas. He was sitting at the end of the bed, apparently about to fall asleep, but the notebook on the table was still open, diligently scrolling through the program code.

A familiar window popped up, it was the feedback reminder of the chip given to him by the Director of the Metropolitan Police Department.Although the director vowed at the time that the chip was only in a sleep state most of the time, as long as it reported every 20 days.But in fact, that was only the deadline for the final warning. Before the mandatory reporting window appeared, the chip would still periodically send reminders to the computer, implying that Yuki should diligently report the situation to his superiors.

However, Youmu turned a blind eye to such non-compulsory prompts.For some reason, he didn't want to frequently report his current situation to the director. After all, his identity was still an undercover agent, and too much contact with the police would always arouse the suspicion of the strange thief—not to mention that Knights didn't trust him at all—other than that In addition, whenever he received a feedback reminder, he would think of the dream that ended without a problem, like the sudden ink marks on the rice paper, dazzling and weird, which made him uneasy.

He chose not to report, and the window asked again stubbornly, but was finally closed.

Yuki sat back on the bed, the system automatically turned off the lights, but the phone turned on, it was a text message from Sena, asking if he would watch a movie together tomorrow night.

{invited; declined}

This is an option that I have never seen in the first week. Although I went to the movies with Sena at that time, but I just stepped into the theater and then fast forwarded to the end. The activities mentioned in one sentence have nothing to do with Sena Interaction, and there will be no invitation in advance.Maybe it can trigger a new plot, Youmu thought so, and replied "Yes".

The time progressed to the evening of the next day, and Yuki and Sena came to the familiar business district. The theater they were going to was in the basement of the newly built SOHO.When passing through the billboards and the simple stage, Yuki saw that a poster of a masquerade show had been erected in the center of the hall.Aware of Yuki's gaze, Sena walked around him knowingly, and asked in a low voice, "Interested?"

Yuki withdrew his gaze, just in time to collide with Sena's.He is still not used to meeting the other party's eyes. Whenever Sena looks over with burning eyes, Yuki seems to suddenly forget how to look away.He couldn't stand such an ambiguous atmosphere, and tried to relieve the tension with words.

"I'm a little curious. It turns out that masks also have shows."

Sena is obviously still enjoying such an intimate look at each other, he looks at Yuki's face, as if he is afraid of missing the other's fleeting expression.He brushed aside the bangs that were hanging down on Yumu's glasses, and said meaningfully: "Of course, but only the most beautiful face with a delicate mask can be called a beautiful work of art."

Yuki really felt that his cheeks were changing from cold to hot.

Finally, I came to the entrance of the theater, and the scrolling screen displayed the movies that were showing, action suspense, romance, literature and art, everything that one could expect, and there was a poster light hanging beside the ticket gate.Sena was standing in front of a certain light box and meditating, Yuki walked over and was surprised by the projected poster——

There are two young people on the left and one right in the picture, obviously the protagonists of the movie, one of them is dressed in the royal prince's costume, and the other is also dressed as an aristocrat. They stretch out their hands to each other in vain, but they can't touch each other's fingertips , the lingering and desperate eyes, and the silent grief seeping out from the light, awakening Yuki's memory.

That was the second world line he tried to play after entering the game, the foreign prince who was a hostage and the affectionate knight who guarded him.It's a pity that he only played until the eve of the dance before being forced to stop, and he didn't have the opportunity to know the follow-up of the two after that.I don't know what happened to the prince in a foreign country, whether he returned to his country smoothly, what about the only knight he trusted and who could open his heart, did they have the same heart, or buried their love in their hearts and parted ways?

But... thinking back to the present, You Mu stared at the light box of the poster, trying his best to suppress the desire to complain.

Why does the actor on the poster have the same face as him and Izumi Sena?In this world, Yuki is really an undercover policeman, and Sena is an incognito phantom thief. Is it really okay to appear on the screen so majestically?Or is the system cutting corners, extracting the parameters from the game branch and directly applying them to the movie actors?Either way, wouldn't it be weird to let him and Sena go to a movie starring them?What if... what if there is an intimate scene later?If there is a kissing scene, wouldn't he want to get under the seat!

Just when he was frantically swiping the barrage in his heart, Sena suddenly asked: "You Jun really want to see this?"

"I don't really want to see it that much, but, I'm a little bit concerned..." Yumu tried to explain something as if he had read his mind.

Sena smiled considerately: "What a coincidence, I also want to watch this, but today's show is over." Noticing Yuki's lost expression, his smile became more obvious.

"However, in this way, there is another reason to invite You Jun, which is not a pity."

Yuki turned his back on him in an evasive manner, poring over the poster like an archaeologist unearthing rare relics of an ancient civilization.

Looking at a row of posters, Youmu found that the so-called released movies were all condensed plots of the world line he had traveled through - princes and knights, mountain snake monsters, gunners and explorers...even, there is a sexual transformation. The campus story between him and Sena.

Yuki's eyes stayed on the screen with two beautiful girls printed on it, and Sena also leaned over to look at the poster carefully, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Yuki's concentration.

"Why, this picture is very attractive to You Jun?"

"What do Quansang think of these movie actors?" Youmu asked meaningfully.

Sena glanced at the light box with a lack of interest: "I don't pay attention to actors, they are probably popular artists."

Seeing his unremarkable reaction, maybe in Sena's eyes, the posters are not Yuki and his own faces, but just insignificant passers-by.Yuki thought to himself, looking around, the audience who watched the movie didn't pay attention to them, it seems that only from Yuki's perspective as a player, he and Sena are the protagonists of all movies.

This conjecture made Yuki heave a sigh of relief, but perhaps he had been standing in front of the girl poster for too long, and Sena couldn't help complaining: "Does You Jun really like these two actors? The silver-haired one doesn't seem to have a good temper." Well, only the face is not bad. But this blond girl is very beautiful, wearing glasses is a bit dull, very cute."

Although Youmu knew that the other party was boasting about his sexually transformed self, he was still a little unhappy for no reason.He suddenly left in front of the light box and went straight to the ticket counter.

"Since Quan Sang likes that actor very much, let's watch this."

The movie is very short, and the content is about the young and ignorant secret love and premature love of two girls.The girl named I has silently guarded M, whom she regards as her precious sister, from beginning to end. She is too cautious and too harsh on herself.She kept suppressing her overflowing emotions, and self-hypnotized that all her impulse and love for M came from her sister's love. I do not allow anyone to touch or hurt M, including herself.During the short campus time between the two, I kept repressing myself like this. Even at the final graduation ceremony, M put on a corsage for her with swollen eyes, blushed and said, "Is there anything you want me to do? Anything is fine." Oh", I just smiled and asked for another hug.

She personally strangled the longing in her heart, and also ended the silent and hopeless secret love of her beloved sister.

When he walked out of the screening hall, Yuki was still immersed in the sour end credits.Although the system didn't make any explanations, he was sure that this movie was an ending of that world line. It might not be complete, but it was still a complete story.Yuki always remembers that at the end of the film, the girl M misses the scene where she and I walked home holding hands and stepping on the afterglow. flustered.

He was suddenly a little scared, as if this movie might not just be a plot of a branch of the world line, it might be implying something, if there is a parallel world in reality, maybe in a certain parallel line, he and Sena are like two people in the movie Like people, they never confessed their hearts to each other until parting, and spent the rest of their lives without each other with regret and remorse.

This thought pierced his heart like a cold awl, making him shiver uncontrollably.It wasn't until Sena pulled him to a shelter from the wind that Yuki realized that he had been led back to the entrance of the ground floor by the other party when he was distracted.

"Are you okay?" He heard Sena ask.

"I'm sorry, I was a little distracted. I'm fine." Yuki said apologetically, his hand was still tightly held by Sena, the overly realistic simulated touch was enough to make him blush and heartbeat.

"I really shouldn't watch this, next time we will have fun watching it." Sena regretted choosing this kind of film.

Youmu smiled heartily: "I like this movie very much, although the ending is a bit regrettable. It would be great if...they could express their hearts to each other."

"Really," Sena said in a neutral tone, "I think it's a good ending for that I."

Yuki looked at him confused.

"Even if you can't stay by your side as a lover, you can still be a family member for the rest of your life and protect important people as a sister. Isn't it very happy?"

Yukimoto wanted to speak, but after seeing Sena's expression clearly, those rebuttal words were swallowed back.

"At least she still has a way out...I'm very envious."

The automatic door at the entrance opened, and the cold wind came in, blowing the hem of their clothes.Sena's hand became colder, but Yuki couldn't help but hold it tighter.He had an illusion that if he didn't hold on to the other person firmly at this moment, that person would disappear like the wind.

"Next time, let's have a happy reunion." After a while, Youmu broke the silence.

"With me?"

Yuki felt the cold hand gradually warming up in his warm palm, and his fingertips tentatively dug into his.He nodded vigorously.

Sena finally smiled.

【22】

In the next few days, as long as you don't go to the library or go to class, Yuki will come to the studio with Sena to stroll around.Except for the first movie that can be watched directly by buying tickets, a system window will pop up later, showing the points required to buy the movie.

Youmu learned about the exchange rules through {Sub-line Collection} in the menu bar.The various endings he played before will get corresponding points. Those points can not only help him upgrade his level so that he can open more world lines, but can also be used to buy branch endings he has never played, such as the pair of girls, and the prince and the prince. Knight's.

Although most of the sidelines can be purchased, none of the movies that tell the true ending are placed in the shopping column.Obviously, this can only be cleared by Youmu himself.

Perhaps it was due to the tight time in the game, and the theater's film schedule was updated very quickly. The poster depicting the girl's story was taken down in an instant and replaced with the upcoming magical romance film.Of course, the golden robed sage and blue knight standing in the center are still him and Sena.

"This looks good." Sena commented casually while waiting for the popcorn.

Yuki also wanted to watch it, the plot of the wizarding world was the one he played the least and the most ignorant, the emotional drama between the sage and the knight didn't have time to start the gameover.And when he unexpectedly returned to reality, Sena was also playing a game with the same world view, which is really concerning.

"If you want to watch it, I can book premiere tickets."

Just as You Mu wanted to nod, his eyes fell on the release date, which happened to be the second day of the masquerade show.According to the flow of the first episode, the masquerade show is likely to be the last stage of the whole story, so wouldn't he miss the movie?

When Sena handed Yuki Juice, he happened to see the doomsday expression on his face, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Yuki came back to his senses and met Sena's worried eyes, and hurriedly waved his hands: "It's nothing."

It's a pity that the other party obviously didn't believe it, and made a gesture to touch his forehead with his hand, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.In desperation, Yuki slapped Sena's hand away.He didn't use any force, but his voice was very loud. Passers-by followed the sound and thought it was some bloody farce of public slapping.

It's over, Yuki thought, the expression of the person in front of him was very hurt, as if what he rejected was not a small concern but Sena's whole world.

"I'm sorry," he hurriedly apologized, "I...was thinking about something just now."

Sena stared at him with a sad look in his eyes: "What can't you tell me?"

You are at a loss for words.

Two strings of system options popped up suddenly: {say; don't say}

Yuki's heart was pounding. Of course, he couldn't tell Sena directly that the movie he wanted to watch would be released after the mission, and I might not be able to see it—that might make Sena directly suspect his undercover identity.But if she chooses to keep silent here, I am afraid Sena will also be suspicious.

When he was wondering whether to lie, Sena suddenly took half a step back and stuffed the juice into Yuki's arms.

"You Jun was already troubled, but I actually troubled you even more, it's outrageous," his tone suddenly relaxed, and he shook the small bucket of popcorn at the other party, "Let's go, the ticket check."

What the two of them watched this time was an urban light comedy staged in a hospital.Originally, Youmu wanted to choose Prince Knight, but the poster and profile really didn't look like HE. The desperate and lingering eyes of the two people in the picture already said it all.So he temporarily changed the option and exchanged for the story of a doctor and a nurse who looked like happy friends.

Facts have proved that his guess is correct. Although the doctor line he experienced is an ABO world with weird settings, everyone in the film is normal. Sena is not an Alpha who dominates everything, and Yuki does not need inhibitors to survive. Omega in estrus.Youmu still remembers that when he called the doctor line, the eyes from the other party were always hot and dangerous, as if they were going to eat him up at any time—Youmu blushed secretly in the theater when he thought of this adjective— —However, the way of getting along between Sena and Yuki in the movie is very fresh, and they cannot be confronted with each other. The arrogant doctor is keen to sneer at the new nurse, and the fledgling nurse always retorts in a neither humble nor humble way.The relationship between the two was at odds, and they made trouble for each other. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, even the patients could count their "brilliant" deeds with their fingers.Although they are noisy on weekdays, once on the operating table, the nurse is a reliable assistant that the doctor does not want to recognize but has to recognize. Although the nurse is very rude to the doctor, she is a hidden supporter of the doctor , I can't listen to others questioning the doctor's skills and virtues.

However, the two people's concern and recognition for each other are buried in their hearts, and on the surface they are still bickering.The climax of the film is that they are completely paralyzed because of a certain operation.The nurse disagreed with the doctor's judgment. He thought it would ruin the other party's bright future, but the doctor didn't care. He didn't tell the nurse that the dying old woman lying on the operating table was the mother the nurse was looking for. If he doesn't take the risk of an early operation, the nurse will miss his loved one again.

At the end of that dispute, the doctor grabbed the nurse's collar and pressed it against the wall. The nurse's eyes were a little red, and she tremblingly said, "Mr. Sena is an egomaniac", and the doctor also gritted his teeth and said, you know What, then kissed that dishonest mouth hard.

Yuki huddled awkwardly in the theater chair. On the huge screen were happy friends who kissed like fighting. The two had already pushed all the way from the door to the desk. The coat, white coat and tie fell all over the place. Going down is going to break into the self-regulating plot, but fortunately the camera stops abruptly at a critical moment, Yuki heard someone sighing in dissatisfaction in front of him, he sneaked a glance at Sena from the corner of his eye, and the man turned his head back like a sympathetic heart, and caught his sight in the light and shadow change , smiling meaningfully.Yu Mu, who was caught, turned his head to look at the screen with guilt.

The ending of the film is naturally happy for everyone. The two resolved their misunderstandings and settled their previous suspicions, which became a happy story among colleagues and patients.

With the choice of watching movies, Yuki felt that his daily life passed faster, but he did not forget to obediently attend classes and go to the library to learn new skills. The date of the masquerade show is approaching, and he must make adequate preparations.

In addition, there is another question that concerns him. The so-called "inner ghost" in the first week is indeed the hacker himself. Since he has never leaked the information, then who leaked the secret for him?

You Mu sat in front of the small table in the bedroom, the frequency of the chip that the director gave him had recently increased sharply, almost to the point of reminding him every night.At this moment, the obstructive window appeared again, asking him rigidly if he would report on the current situation.Yuki ignored it, but the phone instead.This open source mobile phone is a sharp weapon armed by hackers themselves, and even the boss of the Metropolitan Police Department does not know its secrets.If his computer is no longer safe from the moment the chip is installed, then this mobile phone is the last weapon of the hacker.

In the second week, Youmu took courses related to mobile phone software and information security.With the accumulation of knowledge so far, he has been able to open most of the information in the electronic equipment, including the computer password that stumped him at first——

Except for some hidden folder on the computer, it's very small, only a few kilobytes.You Muzeng tried all possible passwords, and also tried to crack them, but in the end, only a few lines of meaningless gibberish came out.

Putting this question aside for the time being, the urgent matter is how to respond to that report request.Youmu suspects that the traces he left on the computer every day are all recorded by the chip, so when the task is approaching, it will ask for interaction more and more frequently.Even if Yuki refuses to report, it will only make the Metropolitan Police Department doubt him even more.In the end, it's better to just let it monitor like this, and take some precautionary measures elsewhere.

Obviously, Yu Muzhen in this world has long expected that he will be suspected by both parties. He has hidden a program in his mobile phone, which can be implanted into the chip and rewrite some instructions.In this way, the Metropolitan Police Department will still receive information, and Yuki can also conduct anti-tracking through the chip to grasp the police's movements when necessary.

This hidden program was just unlocked by You Mu recently, he was glad that he was not addicted to watching movies, otherwise he would not even be able to find such a crucial tool.

Just after he successfully implanted the program into the chip, Sena sent a text message asking if he would go to that SOHO to watch the show tomorrow.Yuki glanced at the calendar, tomorrow is the day when Sena invited him to step on the spot in the first week of the week.

The last key plot finally came.

Same as the first time, the two met in front of the office building. You Mu deliberately dressed plainly, wearing brown-framed round glasses, and looked like a dull and obedient intern.This time, Sena also matched Yuki's clothes and dressed up as an ordinary engineering student. The two of them seemed to come to the show to work as equipment repairers.

Although everything is still under intense preparation, unlike the first week's goal of wide entry and wide exit, this time there is a guard at the entrance of the venue. Fortunately, Sena is prepared to take out the forged student ID card and temporary work ID card. To let them in.

After entering the arena, Sena led Yuki directly to the electric control room and the main control room behind the catwalk stand.According to the plan, Yuki first found a venue maintenance person, and when he modestly asked for precautions, Sena pretended to pass by casually, and followed the man's trousers pocket with a sharp-edged portkey.

After successfully entering the electronic control room, You Mu inserted a USB flash drive into the host computer, and obtained the control authority of the lighting and audio equipment on the stage.This is the preliminary work done to facilitate Sena's transformation at that time. After all, it is too monotonous for a model to transform directly in front of hundreds of cameras. The appearance with light, shadow and music effects is in line with the aesthetics of the monster.

After setting the program, Sena signaled Yuki to follow him and leave.The maintenance guy was almost aware that the keys were missing and they had to return the stuff before there was a commotion.

Walking out of the electronic control room, Yu Mu's attention was once again attracted by the master control room next door.In the first week of the week, he never had a chance to go in and take a look. If he could enter it and master all the monitoring equipment, he and Sena might not be exposed so easily and be hunted down by the gunmen who have been waiting for a long time.

Sena quickly returned the key, only to find that Yuki still couldn't help looking at the closed door.He poked the other person's cheek, indicating that he should focus on a cabinet displaying exquisite masks, and that was the real goal of the mission.

But Yuki seemed a little absent-minded. Due to the constraints of the environment, Sena could only take him away first, and came to the empty square, and then asked him if he was worried.

"According to the original plan, I will also be on stage, right?"

Sena nodded: "You don't have to worry, I will guide you all the way, as long as you hold that mask well."

"The rookie I'm going to play seems to have an affair with the closing model." Yuki said, that's all the information they had discovered during the early preparations, and Yuki also experienced it personally in the first week.

"That's right, so in order to prevent You Jun from being eaten by that bastard, I will 'take over' him," Sena noticed that he was hesitant to speak, and asked, "Does You Jun have any ideas?"

Familiar system options appeared in front of Yuki: {According to the plan; I have other plans}

"I... have a plan." Yuki said slowly. In fact, when the options popped up, the plan in his mind hadn't been fully formed, but he had a premonition that if he wanted to break the deadlock in the first week, they had to Something has changed.

Sena raised her eyebrows, as if surprised by the little hacker's active objection.He nodded, motioning You Mu to continue.

"I want to enter the master control room."

Yuki stared at Sena resolutely, watching her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and the ice-blue eyes were full of indescribable complex emotions.

"You Jun, you should know that this is the best solution after repeated scrutiny." Sena said slowly, eyes locked on Yuki's face, carefully studying the hacker's expression.

"I understand, it's just that the role I want to play may be more suitable behind the scenes than in front of the stage."

Sena's tone was as if frozen by the cold wind, and became stiff: "Re-planning requires a lot of energy and takes more unknown risks. This is not something You Jun can handle with a single sentence."

"Quan Sang is right," You Mu's expression remained firm, "but this time the mission is not enough to rely on two models on stage to succeed."

"What do you know?" Sena's eyes sank, and her whole body became cold.

Yuki bit his lip, he couldn't say any more, but if he didn't convince Sena, there would be no progress.

"You Jun, are you trying to change the plan, is it for you, or for the mission?"

Youmu smiled bitterly: "I know that what I said will only make people suspicious, and I can't explain more. If... Quansang is willing to believe me once, what I am doing now is not for myself, but for us .”

The only response to him was the wind whistling between the two of them.The cold wind made his cheeks hurt, and his eyes were sore, but that was not worth the hurt of Sena's indifferent eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Yuki suspected that his face was frozen, Sena suddenly conjured a thick wool cap out of thin air, and put it on Yuki's head involuntarily, the ear protectors covered his frozen ears, and the shouting wind instantly Disappeared, the world seemed to stand still.

"I believe."

In a world where everything has become hazy, he heard Sena's warm voice.

"I always believed in you."
