The call was picked up quickly, and the captain replied, “Hello, you are—”
“Captain, I’m Xiao Qiao . ”
There was a momentary silence . Then she could hear that he was pleasantly surprised when he responded, “Hi, Xiao Qiao, what’s up?”
Qiao Lian stared straight ahead as she asked, “Are you free now? I wanted to have a chat . It’s about Zi Chuan and Soul Fighter . ”
“Oh, let’s meet up and talk then . I have a meeting now and will be available in about an hour . Let me know where you are, I’ll go look for you . ”
Qiao Lian said unhurriedly, “Let’s meet at Zhou Song’s grave . ”
“Ok . ”
Qiao Lian flagged down a taxi and went to Zhou Song’s grave by herself first .
She stood before the cemetery grounds .
It was still winter, so it was cold outside .
She wore a white down jacket and her complexion was pale, as though drained of blood .
Her gaze was fixed on the picture on the tombstone .
She recalled how hard she had cried the last time she had been here and took a deep breath .
Soul Fighter .
So this was Soul Fighter .
When she started getting to know Zi Chuan, she found that he had a friend known by the nickname of Soul Fighter .
At that time, she had been following Zi Chuan around, hoping to have him as her teacher in these games .
It was also then that Soul Fighter and she would often show a mutual dislike for each other when they played online .
From the start, they had never seen eye to eye .
But for the sake of Zi Chuan, they tried hard to get along .
Later on, she realized that Soul Fighter was quite a skilled player too .
The three of them became a gang of reckless kids .
One time, the game launched some sort of couple skin . She and Shen Liangchuan decided to get themselves a matching pair and started to show public displays of affection in the games . Every time Soul Fighter caught them doing this, he would sarcastically remark, “Lovers die quicker . ”
She would inevitably rebuke him, “Are you jealous? Soul Fighter, when will it be your turn to get a girlfriend?”
Soul Fighter would answer, “Why would I get into a relationship at such a young age? I’m not interested in getting a girlfriend . ”
Time passed and he never had one .
There were times that she wanted to play a match with Shen Liangchuan, just the two of them together, but he would always be around .
She remembered there was a time when she really hadn’t wanted Soul Fighter around .
Hence, she formed a team and invited Shen Liangchuan .
The moment he joined, she started the match .
Finally, she felt like she had gotten rid of Soul Fighter for once and was rather smug about it .
After the game started, she chatted with Shen Liangchuan .
[Xiao Qiao: Weren’t you two together?]
[Zi Chuan: We are . ]
[Xiao Qiao: Haha, good thing I was quick . Otherwise we’d have brought him in again!]
The other party fell silent .
The two continued playing then .
At some point, Qiao Lian started to feel something odd .
Zhou Yu’s playing style today seemed a little different .
Normally, when they attacked an opponent, they were always sharp and accurate .
But that day, after she had given a word and dashed in to attack an opponent, the guy had not followed through to back her up .
She was quickly killed!
And Zi Chuan then turned and run away .
Qiao Lian was stupefied .
She typed a few words on the keyboard:
[Xiao Qiao: You’re not haven a good day?]
[Zi Chuan: I am . ]
[Xiao Qiao: You didn’t help me just then!]
[Zi Chuan: Because you deliberately left me out of the game . ]
[Xiao Qiao: …?]
She was stunned for a while and then, with a sudden realization, typed:
[Xiao Qiao: You’re Soul Fighter!!]
