On the morning of July 23rd, at Old Beijing Mai Internet Cafe, cabin number 7.
The wooden door slowly closed, and the game posters close together on the old, cracked wall hid the ravages of time.
The fluorescent glow of the computer screen illuminated the faces of the two individuals. Through the crack in the door, sounds from outside the cabin like "Protect the AD", "I TP'd, I TP'd", "Boss, bring a bowl of noodles" could frequently be heard.
Ke Mingye stood by the table and chairs, hand on his chin, staring at the panel that was the same size as the screen.
He thought, "This is the first time I've seen such a small panel, and the name of this instance is also super eerie—'Pac-Man Game'."
Initially, when he saw the information, he thought Paranoid was fooling him about a hidden instance in the internet cafe. But now seeing it, it was indeed real, and had Paranoid not become a network manager, it's likely no player would have discovered this instance within a year.
