Trafford’s Trading Club

“What am I… doing? ”

Roaming the city streets at night, Zhuge suddenly lost his target. Back or not? The problem has been haunting his mind.

Walking aimlessly into the nearby commercial street, Zhuge sits on the bench where the customer rests and habitually unscrews his phone.

He hasn't downloaded the game's APP since it was last removed by a colleague - he feels like he's not weak.

And now, even more irritating.

You are already logged in.

Although the game has been deleted, the software of the discussion platform of the game itself is still there. It's full of loyalty to this game. He was originally a member of this discussion platform himself.

The game will be updated and maintained with a new version next week. Players are asked to prepare for data storage and get off the line early. This update will add a new character - the Monster Maiden - to pinch...

What's on top is a game update, and here's a line of exciting follow-ups.

Demon Mother?? Ahhhh!! I'm dying!

I'm going to pinch a Slime mother ah ah ah!!!

Zhuge pulled the slider down a few times, then suddenly lost interest, suddenly a little disgusted, “That sounds good... If it really appeared in front of you, Mother Monster... after all, reality or reality, how can it become adorable, when the 2D turns into 3D, it becomes frightening. ”

But... if it was before today, maybe I'd be part of this happy expression, too?

Zhuge laughed ridiculously, just like that, sitting like a fool, sitting in the commercial street became completely cold, in addition to the convenience store that was open for 24 hours, there were no more shops open.

Surely, there is no free lunch in the world.

Zhuge shook his head, hesitated, and eventually rushed to his home... He came out too soon after lunch and had nothing on him except his phone. Even if he wanted to stay outside, he didn't have an ID card to register.

It's the only way back with a hard scalp.

Think of Nanako... but at least, it won't hurt you.

He returned silently to the downstairs of the rental house and, as he walked to his own floor, found that the door to his cell room was only a cover for the past.

Zhuge stunned and carefully pushed the door open - it didn't even have a light on.

Zhuge swallowed his saliva and popped the lights on in the room - this unit is small and can basically see it all at once.

But... Nanako is not here.

Nor in the shower, nor in the little balcony, nor in the kitchenette - Nanako is no longer here.

Zhuge sat on the floor with his head down, no joy in his heart, no loss, just a blank feeling. He tried to think back to the scene where he opened Nanako's hand… the scene where he left her sight.

Zhuge looked at this, look at that, look at the door, look at this, suddenly he reaches out and wipes his face, and then continues to look at this, look at that, look at the door, and suddenly his muddy expression moves.

His shoulders trembled slightly, and somehow he felt that Nanako seemed to be about to disappear from his life.

Perhaps this is better… I can't show myself how to look at Nanako that way at first.

Perhaps this is better... Nanako, must have become sad because of her actions?

In retrospect, when he ran down the stairs, he heard the call of his name, clearly anxious, wandering, frightened...

……

……

Dip, Dip, Dip.

Zhuge opened his eyes with a headache and subconsciously turned off the phone alarm. His head was soaked and his whole body was sore, so he fell asleep on the floor and passed the night unconsciously.

Zhuge looked consciously at the door and found it still hidden, slightly disappointed.

He doesn't know what he's expecting.

Perhaps, when I wake up, I'll go back to reality again?

Zhuge hasn't seen Nanako since that day. As usual, he got up in a panic in the morning, failed to catch the first bus, and was only able to rush to the last one in time to the office.

……

……

“Pork! The ink cartridge for the copy is gone, go to the warehouse and get one! ”

Repeat the same job every day, busy, not knowing exactly what you're doing.

“Pork, send this sample to the factory, it can be put into production next month. ”

It's just one of the most ordinary running legs in the office. No dreams, no future, no friends.

“Tell you what! I've been on TV for 120 fucking seconds. I'll be up in a couple of days! You guys remember to watch TV. Come on! Such a hot show, don't watch people?! Come on, I have tickets to the family and friends group! ”

Listen to that... the guy who once deleted his game is proud of himself, and he just feels like, "Oh, well." There's nothing to be happy about, nothing to be unhappy about, and it's not my business anyway.

It won't happen to me anyway.

“Pork, it's almost time for you to lose weight! If we keep gaining weight, we won't have enough seats. ”

I've always been the subject of laughter. It used to be, and probably will be... I'm used to it anyway, isn't it?

Anyway, I'm used to it.

“I can't sit here anymore. Are you going to sit down? Disgusting!”

Still can only stand, squeeze, not knowing when, the nightmare walks out of the subway, in nearby convenience stores, buys some simple ready-to-eat food.

Anyway, dinner alone, whatever.

“Zhuge, you're too old to think about it. When I get back, I'll arrange it for you. Our family knows its own affairs, and I don't have any requirements. If we can have a family, we can have a life. ”

I still get home calls once a month, listening to all the nagging I've been able to carry.

Next month is still such a nagging.

“I'm going to be King X's man!”, “this is mine..."! ”,“ this smile comes from my guardian! ”

Back in the past, turn off the lights, turn on the display screen, I think this time will get faster, I think this guy with the straw hat is very handsome, I think this life of endurance is really long and stinky but I still wait unconsciously.

Log in to your account, from CF to LOL to OW, from late night to dawn.

“Day!! Are your teammates retarded?” Strike your mouse hard and curse to meet your pig teammates.

But…

“Goddamn it, will you fight if you win? Did you blow up your house?” Scolded very vigorously.

But.

“Nima! Hang up B!! Whistleblowing!” will be angry for these.

But.

“Dragon! Eat my enemies!!” I can't help but scream when I'm excited.

But.

But.

But why, I don't feel a little happy.

But... why does it feel like it's taking longer than it used to?

Why, it's not dawn yet.

I can't remember how long I haven't looked in the mirror... two days? Three days?

One day at a time.

Day after day, day after day, longing to be able to go out and hear ‘Be careful on the road. ’

Day after day, day after day, when I yearn to be able to come back, I hear, "Thank you for today."

But one day, climbing a dark staircase and walking into an empty rental house?

Even… nowadays, I am no longer even willing to go back, and once I do, there is no way to make myself… happy.

Although brief.

Although brief.

“Though briefly…” Zhuge found himself completely powerless to climb the stairs.

Totally.

“I... suck... suck... ”

Finally, he sat on the corridor stairs, covered his face and choked on his own.

……

After not knowing how long, Zhuge noticed that someone was patting him on the shoulder. He raised his head subconsciously. He saw the figure in the pus and spoke out: “Nanako! ”

“Nai what the hell?” Yet there is a dull man's voice: “You said you were a grown man. Why can't you just sit here and weep? Scared?”

“Landlord...” Zhuge stunned, reaching out and wiping his own face, "I... I should have paid the rent. ”

The host uncle was extremely impatient: “I'm not looking for you! I've been complaining downstairs for two days! Says that people can often sneak around in the middle of the night and hear women crying! There's no such thing as a demon monster! I have to find out tonight. ”

“You, what did you say? ”

“Are you deaf?” The landlord pushed Zhuge away: "Don't stand there! Wait, the monitor master is coming up! Go away, go away! ”

“What are you talking about!! Say it again! Midnight, what? ”

Unexpectedly fearful guests, this moment, like a furious beast, grabbed their clothes and pushed them to the edge of the corner. The host uncle was frightened at once, “Say... that there are ghosts wandering in the middle of the night... then cry...”

Zhuge let go of the host uncle, lowered his head and muttered to himself: “It's Nanako... it's Nanako...”

She's crying.

That day... when I opened her hand and looked at her like a monster...

She... she will suffer... she will be sad... she... she... she has thoughts.

Even then... still around me... silently...

“I'm going to find her! I'm going to find her! I'm going to find her... I... I'm going to find her! ”

……

As Zhuge panicked and went down the stairs, the host uncle patted himself on the shoulder and shrugged his head like a bitter melon.

Black smoke flashed away, turning from the host uncle into a shady face.

“Tai Yin, do you want to keep betting, can Zhuge find Nanako? ”

“Master... I...” Too shady's face suddenly became very difficult to see... watching this moment lean against the fence, watching him run down the stairs, panicking on the road looking everywhere... club owner.

“When I made the bet, I added some rules. What did I say to ensure fairness?” Lochu turned his head and looked at Tai Yin and said.

“Everything can only be observed and no clandestine action is allowed. ”

“So...” said Rochu. “Then you do it once, and I do it once, and it's a tie. How about that? ”

“According to the master. ”
