In the middle of the night, the top floor of a 100-story building is extraordinarily quiet, creating a stark contrast to the bustling streets below, as if two different worlds.

Without turning on the lights, a man who had just finished taking a shower, wrapped in a bathrobe, and still dripping with water on his hair stood in front of the window, quietly looking at the colorful neon lights in the distance, and his calm expression made people wonder what he was thinking.

About thirty seconds passed, and the man spoke......

"JOKER, WHAT A RARITY, I THOUGHT IT WAS THOSE OLD FRIENDS WHO SENT SOMEONE TO TAKE MY LIFE......" GLANCING OUT OF THE CORNER OF HIS EYE, THE MAN IN THE BATHROBE SAID IN A HALF-JOKING, HALF-SERIOUS TONE.

AS HE SPOKE, HE SLOWLY WALKED TO THE GLASS TABLE NEXT TO HIM, PICKED UP TWO WINE GLASSES, AND POURED TWO GLASSES OF RED WINE, ONE FOR HIMSELF AND ONE FOR JOKER, WHO WAS STANDING IN THE ROOM AT SOME POINT.

WITH THE USUAL SMILE ON HIS FACE, JOKER TOOK THE RED WINE, "YOU ARE REALLY JOKING, HOW CAN ANYONE REALLY DARE TO TAKE YOUR LIFE?" ”

"This is not necessarily ......" HEARING JOKER'S WORDS, THE CORNERS OF THE MAN'S MOUTH HOOKED UP A VERY MEANINGFUL ARC, "THOSE OLD FRIENDS, IT'S NOT A DAY OR TWO THAT THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE INTELLIGENCE NETWORK OF 'SKYNET', AND THEY CAN BE SAID TO DO EVERYTHING TO KILL ME." ”

As he spoke, the man walked slowly to a small cabinet in the room, on which was placed a small cage containing a small mouse.

The glass is slightly tilted, and the wine with a beautiful color like red agate pours out a little, so that even ordinary drinkers may not be able to taste the taste.

The liquor fell, dripping into the cage, as if the aware guinea pig leaned up, and after a few seconds, the petite body appeared a convulsion and spasm, and the weak life quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Alas-" Sighing softly, the man put down the wine glass in his hand, "It's the ninth of this month, should I consider a pet with a more tenacious vitality?" You tell me? JOKER？ ”

JOKER MAINTAINED HIS SIGNATURE SMILE AND DID NOT SPEAK, AND THE GLASS OF RED WINE IN HIS HAND WAS LONG GONE.

THE MAN DIDN'T SEEM TO EXPECT JOKER TO ANSWER HIS QUESTION, AND AFTER PUTTING DOWN HIS GLASS, HE CASUALLY ASKED, "Tell me, what's the matter?" Don't tell me you're just idle and bored, and want to catch up with me. ”

"Recently, Z City seems to be a little unpeaceful again, as the administrator of the game, I naturally have to be a little concerned, so I specially asked the president of 'Skynet' for his opinion." That's right, the man is the president of 'Skynet', Game ID: Fallen Leaves Have Nowhere to Return to the Roots, referred to as Fallen Leaves!

"Skynet doesn't belong to any city, what can I think?" A word that didn't hurt or itched, and the fallen leaves threw the topic back again.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." LOOKING AT THE FALLING LEAVES, JOKER KNEW THAT THIS TIME HE COULDN'T ASK ANYTHING AND DIDN'T STOP FOR MUCH, HE WASN'T AS IDLE AS HE LOOKED.

Come without a trace, go without a trace, in the blink of an eye, JOKER, who was still standing there one second, disappeared the next.

For Joker's elusive method, Falling Leaves can be said to have been accustomed to it for a long time, and a pair of eyes looked at the location where JOKER disappeared, and whispered something in his mouth, "Z City is not peaceful?" NO MATTER HOW I THINK IT'S YOU FANNING THE FLAMES BEHIND THIS, JOKER! ”

"President, what do you command?"

"The line is long enough, it's time to close the net, don't you think? It's just a pity for a good bottle of wine. As he spoke, Fallen Leaf smashed the red wine bottle on the table at the man below, without warning.

The man below was shocked, and with a sturdy leap of his half-kneeling body, he dodged the smashed red wine bottle, which smashed on the wall behind him, and the bottle shattered in an instant, and the agate-colored liquor burst out, like a blooming flower.

"Why, President?!" The man didn't dare to act rashly, but just looked at the fallen leaves standing there with a frightened face.

"Zhang Ping, I'm very disappointed in you......" Compared to his action of smashing the red wine bottle, the voice and expression of the fallen leaves were surprisingly calm, "I actually value you very much, you have the ability and brains, but you are with the wrong person......"

Hearing this, Zhang Ping's body trembled, he knew that his affairs had been exposed, and his half-kneeling body slowly stood up, "When did you find out?" ”

"In the beginning." Falling leaves said three words lightly, and the plain look seemed to be just saying a trivial thing.

"How is that possible?" Zhang Ping couldn't believe that his identity as a spy was actually exposed in front of Luoye's eyes from the beginning.

"Do you really think that our 'Skynet' agreement is so easy to exploit loopholes for you? That empty space was left to you by me. ”

"Why? I'm a little-known little person, but I still deserve the work of the dignified 'Skynet' chairman? As he spoke, Zhang Ping's face showed a hint of self-deprecation.

Luoye shook his head regretfully, "The reason why I know your identity and let you enter Skynet, I want to follow the vine and find out who is going to deal with me is of course one of the reasons, but more importantly, I do value you very much, and you are indeed very capable, if you can follow me honestly after entering Skynet, I won't do anything to you, I will even reuse you, but you still made the wrong choice in the end, for a thing that has no results at all." ”

"Something that doesn't come of it at all? What do you mean? The words of the fallen leaves made Zhang Ping's expression shake a little.

"They want you to come in for two purposes: first, to kill me; Second, find my family and attack my family......" Looking at Zhang Ping's changing face, Luoye knew that he had guessed correctly.

"You know what? In addition to you, the master behind you also sent twenty-seven people to try to infiltrate Skynet, for this reason, I also specially put on a play for them, I disposed of all the twenty-seven people, but 'didn't find' you, and then let you finally get mixed with me through unremitting efforts......"

"Because after I saw your information, I found out that you are a capable person, and it is a pity to die like this, so, I gave you a chance, but you didn't grasp it, it turns out that you are not smart enough......" As he spoke, the regret on Fallen Leaf's face was even heavier.

"They knew that it wouldn't be so easy to kill me, so they turned to my family and tried to blackmail me through my family, right?"

Zhang Ping didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence.

"Now I can tell you why I said that it was a fruitless thing......" Fallen Leaf slowly approached Zhang Ping and whispered in his ear, "Do you know why I called Fallen Leaf Nowhere to Return to the Roots?" Because I...... There is no family ...... at all."

As the last word fell, only a crisp sound of 'click' was heard in the room, and Zhang Ping's head was tilted to the side at a strange angle.

As soon as he let go of his hand, Fallen Leaf walked back to the window and looked at the bustling street below, "Things are getting more and more interesting, what choice will you make?" Luo Che ......"
