"Heng Dao Yijian is preparing to upgrade Orange Martial Arts, if she is lucky this time, she may be able to help her collect all the materials, and we will have one more top-level Orange Martial Arts to lead the team." Sixteen Jun looked at the footprints of Yidi who had never spoken, "In addition, Yidi footprints, you should also go and get the orange martial arts." ”

"Not interested." A footprint quickly gave three words.

After getting along for so long, everyone knows that the footprints of Yidi have a somewhat strange temperament, except for Heng Dao and Yijian, everyone is a love and ignorance, so naturally they don't care about this cold attitude. After discussing the map and the place of stationing, the commanders of the regiments disbanded the meeting and went about their own business.

The time on the computer was approaching 12 midnight, Lu Yunqian looked at the 24 pairs of wishing socks in her backpack for the past three days to do tasks, and then looked at the pine tree in the green garden outside the window that was dressed as a Christmas tree, and sighed melancholy. She hung her head, her mind in turmoil, but it became clear that the more festive the game and outside, the more lonely she felt. The breath of Christmas is like a wisp of green smoke lingering around your fingertips, you can see it, but you can't catch it. I have always been isolated from the outside world and have no qualifications for the holidays.

Probably because there are no more people to celebrate the festival with.

The depressed Lu Yunqian slid into the computer chair, staring at her outstretched toes stupidly, and the sadness in her heart gradually turned into homesickness. Every year during this winter festival, martial law is imposed in the center of my hometown, blocking the four main roads with the clock tower as the core, and no vehicles are allowed to pass. In fact, even if such martial law had not been issued, the entire city center would have been overwhelmed by the crowd at the turn of the evening, and no four-wheeled man except for two legs would have been able to walk.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the streets gradually became more and more crowded, and the festival people gradually gathered near the bell tower from all directions, and at a glance they were full of happy young men and women with various gifts. The merchants on the street have already launched various promotions for Christmas, and at this time, they have made a lot of money, and several Internet celebrity stores are even full, and even the threshold is about to be trampled by customers.

Before her brother left his hometown to go to college, Lu Yunqian would inevitably go to the city center with her brother every Christmas. Due to the traffic control on the street, it was impossible to take the bus directly, so the two of them took the bus to the neighborhood and walked slowly. This journey is nearly two kilometers or so, although the feet will be tired, but the heart is not tired at all, twelve-year-old Lu Yunqian is like an energetic puppy pestering her brother to jump forward and run, eager to fly directly to the lively city center.

"Brother, brother! Where's my Christmas present? ”

Lu Yunqian stretched out her arms to maintain the balance of her body like an airplane, and walked forward on the narrow road on the side of the road, trying not to let herself fall. Fifteen-year-old Lu Daoheng walked steadily on the yellow blind road, and also did not take a step outside the blind road. The two of them are separated by two pavement bricks, and they are walking in a straight line on their respective tracks as if they have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"You'll find out when you're at the Internet café." Lu Daoheng replied mysteriously.

"It's an Internet café again, didn't you promise to spend Christmas with me and not play games?" Lu Yunqian pursed her lips and slowed down, but she still stepped on the white edge of the road with every foot, and did not step into the "thunder pool".

"I mean, your gift is in the Internet café." Lu Daoheng smiled at his sister, "But you have to solve my puzzle to find it." ”

"Puzzle?!"

Lu Yunqian's eyes widened suddenly when she heard this word, and she expressed great interest. Since she was in the fourth grade, her brother has often arranged various treasure hunt puzzles at home, and she also loves to solve these puzzles very much, and even has trouble sleeping with anxiety when she can't find a clue for a long time, but whenever she solves the mystery, the great joy is even happier than getting the final reward.

As his brother's experience grew, so did the puzzles he solved, making it more than just a fun scavenger hunt. Lu Yunqian licked her lips with some concern, and asked softly, "Is it the same question as last birthday?" ”

"It's different, it's a new topic. If you have read the book I gave you earlier, you will soon be able to solve it. ”

"Books?"

Lu Yunqian stopped and looked at the sky, and a bad premonition slowly crept into her heart. After searching around in my mind, I suddenly remembered that my brother gave her a book full of words two months ago, although the words in it can be understood, but it is still not as good as the comics, so I just flipped through it casually, and now I can't even remember the name. If my brother's puzzle came from that book, I'm afraid it would really be over this time.

"It's the book "Seven" written by Chun Yuheng." Lu Daoheng glanced at her suspiciously, "Didn't you see it?" ”

"I saw ......," Lu Yunqian scratched her head weakly, "But some of the things in it can't be remembered, if you can't solve it, can you give me a hint?" ”

"You can prompt it once, but if you can't solve it after a chance, I don't care."

"Humph!" Lu Yunqian shook her head and said stubbornly: "I can definitely solve it!" ”

"Hehe, we're almost there, come, hold me, don't get lost." Lu Daoheng looked at the crowd that had begun to dense not far away, stepped out of the straight blind road, and stretched out his hand to hold his sister and walk towards the road.

On Christmas Eve, people can walk on the empty road and experience the special feeling of "pressing the road". Even so, there were so many people on the street that the sidewalks and wide roads were crowded with people, and they were rushing towards the Bell Road like a flood.

In this group of people who can't see the end at a glance, Lu Yunqian's thin figure is like a bubble, as long as there is a slight negligence, it will be submerged and disappear without a trace. So Lu Daoheng almost walked forward close to her, only his sister in his hands and eyes, for fear that someone around him would inadvertently hurt her.

Although Lu Yunqian doesn't like to be guarded so closely, she is always curious to look around at the lively scene from the gap in the people, or she wants to run to the side of the street to see the Christmas tree and gorgeous shops. But the hand that held her brother never let go, the tender and slender knuckles were hooked with each other, and the warm temperature produced by the two hands made her feel very relieved.

The Internet café Lu Daoheng said is located in the downtown area, with an area of three floors, and the door is equivalent to the size of a hotel, which can be described as domineering. At that time, almost all the offline activities of the game in X City would be held here, and Lu Daoheng, who was already well-known in the competitive circle, also became a "guest" here.
