If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Although according to the Chinese calendar, spring has already begun as early as early February, in Japan the warmth of spring seems to be belatedly arriving in early March.

The morning fog covered the whole of Tokyo like a white curtain. Passers-by carried briefcases and hurriedly walked into the fog with their collars turned up and their mouths and noses covered. The weather forecast host in the street appliance window said it would rain today, but the weather forecast was never accurate.

Everyone believes that there is sunshine behind the fog, but they are too hidden in Tokyo to see it.

But in fact, there is no such thing. If there was sunshine, the fog would have dispersed long ago.

Genji Heavy Industries, ξlayer.

ξ is a Greek number, which represents 'unknown' in mathematics, so even in the Sheqi Hachi family, very few people know the existence of this floor. In fact, it exists on the forty-fifth floor, almost reaching the top floor of Genji Heavy Industries, heading towards From the sky, it seems that you can touch the blue-black iron wall, and from the bottom, you can see the crowd crawling on the ground like ants.

Mandy was lying on the only balcony on the first floor, looking down at the steel jungle that was slightly damp with dew in the heavy fog. It was now the transition between late night and dawn, and the meager skylight was blocked by the fog. In the city, Seems a little dark.

The numerous buildings in Tokyo are silent and washed white by the heavy fog. They are looming as if they are sticky and melting in the fog. A faint white light is shaking behind the glass curtain walls, one by one shining in the fog. In the building, there were a few crystal clear ice cubes in the square cup filled with sake that Mandy held in her hand.

The temperature is getting colder and the fog is getting thicker. The incandescent lights in the high-rise buildings have also disappeared, like ice cubes melting into the wine. There is no change, but the taste of the wine is inexplicably weaker - the life in Tokyo is also a little less lively, lifeless. Tokyo is like a ghost town with not much to see.

Lying on the balcony railing, Mandy looked back and straightened up, taking a breath of white air into her hands to keep warm. Although it was already spring, the wind on the high-rise building was still a bit chilly. She tightened her tight white coat and turned around. He opened the sliding door and walked into the back room behind him.

Compared with the humidity and cold outside, the inner room feels like spring flowers are blooming. There is a square kotatsu in the living room without any decorative furniture. This thing is not common in China, but it is a well-known treasure in Japan. In the hearts of Japanese people, it is even better than air conditioning and floor heating.

There is a small electric grill on the kotatsu table, with a sukiyaki pot on it. The boiling broth inside is cooking cross-cut shiitake mushrooms, squarely cut luncheon meat, pink and tender thick vermicelli and tofu. Slices of cabbage lie on the white soup, and the color is bright and refreshing.

Gen Zhisheng, dressed in black from the executive department, sat beside the sukiyaki pot and stared at the dishes inside without saying a word. He probably looked like this when interrogating prisoners.

Mandy walked to the table and sat down politely. She peeked out of the corner of her eye at the meticulous look of the Director of the Executive Bureau, and felt bad. She thought to herself that if you have such evil eyes, then the electric oven should be so hot. That's all. Unless your Yanling is Jun Yan and you can make an omelette by yourself, I guess everyone can have a midnight snack earlier.

Night snack.

Yes, late night snack.

It's still a little short of the breakfast time that Japanese people are used to. Besides, no one wakes up in the morning and eats a hot soup pot like sukiyaki, so this meal is naturally a late night snack.

——After all, the two little ancestors in the house haven't slept all night.

On the LCD TV screen in the living room, Sony's All-Stars Brawl is being played. The map is a jungle swamp. Sonic versus Princess Peach. The two cartoon characters are running and jumping on the map with various special moves. This picture has no fixed The blood volume limit refers to the number of hits. Anyone who is hit by a special move and is knocked away three times will be directly gameover.

Now Sonic has fallen into the swamp once, and Princess Peach has fallen into it twice. According to the game, it has reached the match point.

In front of the screen, Lin Nian and Eri Yi sat silently in front of the LCD TV and pressed the PS3 handle. Staying up all night inevitably slowed down the blood flow in the veins around their eyes, and both of them had tears on their faces. He had some dark circles under his eyes and stared at the screen as if no one else was around.

On the screen, Sonic is rolling around like a hedgehog ball on the grass platform, bouncing and accelerating to hit the enemy. Occasionally, he uses his super-kill "Super Sonic" to transform into a small blue rotating ball that bounces wildly and collides with the enemy. Princess Peach every time Each special move will inevitably be avoided flexibly, and he will immediately seize the opportunity to hit with a backstab, knocking Princess Peach to the edge of the board with two hands hanging on the board. When Sonic sees this, he immediately trots over and stomps on her hand. Last hit, it can be said that Esports has no tenderness and indecisiveness when it comes to beating a drowned dog!

"The food is ready." At the table, Yuan Zhisheng put his chopsticks into the pot and picked up a piece of shiitake mushroom to take a bite. He closed his eyes and chewed two mouthfuls before putting down his chopsticks and looking at the two people who were fighting fiercely.

"Wait a minute!"

"One more moment!"

The two people expressed their opinions at the same time. Lin Nian shouted it out, while Eri Yi raised the small notebook beside her without looking back. It seemed that this was not the first time she had lifted up this line of words skillfully.

Mandy clearly saw the veins on Yuan Zhisheng's forehead jumping briefly, but his strong self-control ability allowed him to hold back without saying a word, and he turned down the heat of the sukiyaki. It seemed that I am not prepared to meet these two Internet-addicted teenagers.

As for the fact that Minamoto Zhisheng actually appeared in this room and was still helping to cook sukiyaki, they would have found it incredible before, but after knowing the relationship between the head of the Uesugi family, things became more reasonable. No wonder that One day the students will make such a decision.

Several days have passed since the Genji Heavy Industries assassination (explosion) incident.

The aftermath of that day's events gradually subsided, without much public opinion spreading, and the matter was finally settled with "an explosion in a gas company's transport vehicle causing a chain explosion of underground natural gas pipeline leaks."

As for the authenticity of the incident, no one knows. On Twitter and Instagram, many residents of central Tokyo claimed to have heard gunfire and yelling. However, due to the white smoke that filled the streets at that time, there was no video (those who had video were taken by police) A group of men in black went door-to-door) and could not produce any evidence of stone hammering. It is said that the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched hundreds of police officers that day, but they all came to nothing. At the scene, they only found a building that had been "bombed" through the ground floor and There was a pile of broken walls after the explosion, but not a single bullet casing was found.

So this major incident that shocked half of Tokyo was hastily resolved. No one would doubt the determination of the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate the case, because investigating major cases has always been the best opportunity for promotion and salary increase. If you can voluntarily abandon the case, you are either Nothing can really be found, or someone at the top of the Metropolitan Police Department is quietly putting pressure, and the common people naturally have no chance to come into contact with this deeper reason.

Lin Nian and the red-haired miko who called herself Uesugi Eri were discovered on the street. Naturally, Minamoto was the first to run out. When he heard the roar downstairs, he had a premonition of what was going on and immediately left him behind. Seeing the enemy in front of him and the Kaguya computer room that was exploding and on fire upstairs, he rushed downstairs without stopping and led the people. As expected, he saw the devastation left by Eriki and 'Judgment'.

At that time, even Lin Nian, who was seriously injured, suddenly became less important. The red-haired girl became the key target of protection. Lin Nian was just carried on his shoulders and taken to Genji Heavy Industries to hide.

This hiding lasted for several days without entering the hospital or any interrogation. The family was so cold and almost ruthless that they completely placed him on the ground floor and ignored him except for medical assistance.

All medical equipment and medical staff were sufficient in the building. Lin Nian received "meticulous" care in the first two days. After treating his leg injury, the doctors examined his body with numerous instruments, obtained many reports, and issued strict orders. He is prohibited from leaving this floor.

Lin Nian did not resist during this process, and could not resist. He was now considered the focus of the Sheqi Eight Family. Too many major things happened in Genji Heavy Industries in one day. A large number of people died, the bottom floor was blasted, Hui There was a fire in Ye Ji's computer room and a large number of charred corpses were found. The strategic department on the 30th floor was destroyed and the walls were cracked. There were obvious traces of fighting on the streets on the ground floor. In addition, the final weapon "trial" broke out.

And all of this seems to be vaguely related to Lin Nian, the external commissioner of the headquarters, so the life called "care" but actually "imprisonment" begins. Even Mandy cannot escape being brought to this place to enjoy the same care. destiny.

As for another member of the headquarters, Miyamoto Isshin, that guy was more unlucky. The family only discovered him half an hour later. By then, he had been seriously injured to the point that the private medical care at Genji Heavy Industries was not enough to provide effective treatment, so he had to be sent to the hospital urgently. I went to the ICU of the Eastern Medical University for emergency treatment, but I heard that the guy managed to survive, and is now being hung up by his fiancée.

Although no one negotiated with Lin Nian about that day, he was particularly aware of the situation and intensity of his current house arrest - because he could see the face of Yuan Zhisheng, Director of the Executive Bureau, for at least half an hour every day. The Japanese branch deployed its strongest combat force to his side, fundamentally preventing any further accidents from happening.

In fact, he didn't mind this. After all, his body was seriously injured after that super-standard battle and it was difficult to move. In addition, the floor also had everything he needed (mainly PS games), and even more It was when he met the red-haired girl with whom he met, Eri Uesugi.

This time, he was completely at ease. He didn't ask anything, and he didn't say anything. They were in a tacit understanding, as if they were comparing their patience.

Time has also passed through seven days and arrived now.

—

On the computer screen, there was a loud bang and an exaggerated KO sound. Princess Peach fell to the board with tears in her eyes and a ball of fireworks exploded into the sky. The game ended at 3:1. Sonic defeated Princess Peach and Lin Nian won. Uesugi painted pear clothes.

That's it? That's it? That's it?

Although Lin Nian put down the controller without saying a word, Mandy could already see the joy and pride on her junior brother's calm face.

Junior brother, although you look very embarrassed when you play games with one foot in a plaster and a bandage, but you look really handsome when you turn into a strong man and beat up the head of the Shangshan family!

The head of the Uesugi family put down the controller with a look of disappointment, but at least it didn’t reach the level of mourning a concubine. The second page of the small notebook next to her was filled with an entire article on competitive games supported by the PS3 platform, including "The King of Fighters", "Samurai Shodown 2", "Gran Turismo 5" even has "Dead or Alive."

She couldn't count how many times she had lost to the boy next to her.

All competitive games were written down in the notebook, and then all were marked with a carbon pen. These were all the games they had played in the past few days, and the endings were all without exception. Lin Niansheng painted Li Yi.

It seems that everything in this world involves talent. At least in games, Lin Nian's talent completely surpassed that of the Uesugi family leader. It was not an accident that Eri was beaten in the online King of Fighters showdown that day, and Lin Nian's harsh words were not just for the occasion. He continued to beat Eri Yi repeatedly for several days, and the beatings were not repeated every day without letting go.

Not to mention the 1v1_Battle fighting game, they even competed in audio games. Taiko master Lin Nian was able to defeat Eri with a perfect AllCombo, and Road to Survival was against Tank ( The number of damage done and mobs killed by a Blood Bull Boss in the game also exceeds that of Eri Yi.

It's a pity that this back room only has PS3 and no PC. Otherwise, if the stage of StarCraft and CS is moved here, and the keyboard and mouse are used, Lin Nian can clearly teach young girls what apm560 (a unit of measurement of hand speed) is, in this regard Even the little interstellar prince in their high school could only unscrew the bottle cap of Nutrition Express and become his apprentice in front of him.

In terms of the Jakihachi family, you, Eri Uesugi, can be considered the strongest in the division, but it is a pity that you have met the strongest in the main unit. In terms of playing games, we still have to look at us boys (game chauvinism), and women Let the child cry and play the 4399 dress-up game!

Of course Lin Nian didn't say these nonsense directly.

He just kept smiling, very peacefully, but anyone could see the pride of the 17-year-old boy from the corners of his eyes.

When Eriki was about to put down the handle, a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him, grabbed the handle and sat down.

Lin Nian's brows twitched slightly but he didn't react much. He still sat and pressed the controller carelessly. However, Mandy, who was secretly eating sukiyaki from behind, saw Yuan Zhisheng sitting in front of the screen and almost spit out the vermicelli he had eaten. .

"." Eri Yi didn't say anything, she just sat down next to Yuan Zhisheng and pushed out a PS3 disk.

King of Fighters 12.

come yet? finally coming?

Mandy, who was sitting on the table behind her secretly chatting about her fans, felt like she was just short of a bottle of Coke. She looked at Yuan Zhisheng expressionlessly pushing the joystick to enter the game start selection interface and her whole body was on fire (drafted it? It's on fire.jpg).

It’s here, it’s finally here! The strongest in the team versus the strongest in the family!

It's just the King of Fighters PK version.
