Chapter 99 Documentary of an Ancient House (Thirteen)
The escape failed.
When Xiang Liangyu returned to the broken wall, she found that the wall had been repaired. She climbed over the wall and entered the ancient house. There was no player in the yard.
After returning to the master bedroom, she threw herself into the bed in a daze and began to wonder whether she was right.
If failure is inevitable, then why should she feel a glimmer of hope? The non-game area can indeed lead to the human world. What exactly happened when the player rose to the edge of the sky?
The door was opened and familiar footsteps came to her bed. Xiang Liangyu was now extremely annoyed and pretended to be asleep without moving.
The next second, a hard square object hit her head. Ji Rendong snorted and turned away.
The room returned to silence again. Xiang Liangyu sat up from the bed. She looked at the object on the pillow . It was a USB flash drive.
She is not an artificial intelligence computer and does not have a USB flash drive interface. Xiang Liangyu stared at the USB flash drive for a long time, then got out of bed and went out.
The door was suddenly opened, and Quan Shengyan appeared in Xiang Liangyu's eyes without any preparation. She took a step back and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Quan Shengyan stared at Xiang Liangyu for a long time, and as if he had made up his mind, he rushed up to hug her: "Don't be sad! Don't be sad!"
Xiang Liangyu was stunned, her chin resting on Quan Shengyan's shoulder. She felt the soothing fragrance enveloping her, gradually calming her chaotic thoughts.
She placed her hand on Quan Shengyan's back and whispered, "I want to know what happened to them in heaven."
She is not a self-pitying person. After doubting, she will seek the truth . She is sure that her behavior is not wrong. Although she doesn't know why Ji Rendong gave her this USB drive, she wants to know whatever is in it.
Xiang Liangyu said: "When you were watching the players at home, what were they doing?"
Quan Shengyan let her go and said, "They and I watched your backs for a long time, until a strange sound was heard and the broken wall began to recover."
"Zhuge Xunzhen came over and sent the player back to the yard. I will wait for you in your yard."
Xiang Liangyu said, "I want to find Yun Panshan."
There was a sound of electricity coming from Leng Wusi's room. The room, which was originally riddled with holes due to the fight, had been restored to its original state before the players came in, except that someone was missing.
After the wall was restored, they could not know what was happening on the barren grassland outside the wall, but they all saw the figure falling from the sky.
Silence was spreading, and complex emotions of relief, sadness, regret, and so on filled everyone's heart.
Yun Panshan opened the memory card of the camera. He used the camera to record the players flying up and falling outside the wall, but the distance was limited, and only blurry figures could be seen under the maximum magnification lens.
He watched it again and again, the only sound in the room being the sound from the footage.
Someone pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't be so sad, maybe when we return to the Cloud City team room, we will see the captain and other partners greeting us."
Just as he finished speaking, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened, and two figures came in against the light.
Xiang Liangyu said as he walked: "Death in non-game areas is complete death, and the immortality medal will not take effect."
This sentence was like a fuse, igniting the anger of all the players who didn't know where to vent. Someone slammed the table and stood up, rushing towards Xiang Liangyu: "How dare you come here!"
Xiang Liangyu grabbed the player's arm with one hand, twisted it behind his back, broke his wrist bone, and pushed him forward. She walked to Yun Panshan, put the USB in front of him, and said, "Let me see the contents of the USB."
Even if Yun Panshan hated Xiang Liangyu at this moment, he could not deny that he had no right to refuse. When the gap in strength was too big, smart people would make a decisive choice.
His props have many forms, one of which is a super-intelligent laptop computer. He plugs the USB drive into the port, the computer screen flashes for a moment, and a shaking blue screen appears.
Xiang Liangyu, Leng Wusi and others can be seen in the picture. The person taking the picture is standing in the middle of the crowd, shaking his body, and taking pictures of the surroundings.
The scene in the picture was exactly the same as what Xiang Liangyu had experienced outside the wall, until the photographer jumped into nothingness and then slowly rose up again.
Xiang Liangyu pushed Yun Panshan away and sat at the table, staring at the screen.
The sky rose and rose, and the blue sky gradually turned white. There was a dense white halo above the head.
The photographer took the camera out of his clothes and found the right angle to shoot the sky. As he rose higher, everything at the end became apparent. At this time, he had floated to Leng Wusi's side.
The cold steel twists and crisscrosses. This is a steel sky, a steel sky flashing with lightning. Judging from its shape and function, it is obviously not within the scope of human science and technology.
And right above the player, a large red hole appeared, and one end of the severed steel was flashing blood red, looking like a red circle.
Leng Wusi and Ciliang were the first to cross the red circle. At this moment, they could clearly see that the area outside the circle had become a commercial street on Earth. There were familiar car horns and voices on the busy commercial street.
Leng Wusi's upper body had already passed through the barrier, but for some reason she suddenly turned around and stretched out her hand to the person taking the photo with a smile.
The two hands overlapped, and a blood-red column suddenly erupted from the red circle, running through it from top to bottom.
The screen ends.
The room fell into deathly silence again.
Xiang Liangyu slammed the table and stood up. He turned around and grabbed Yun Panshan by the collar with lightning speed, pushed him to the ground, and shouted: "What qualifications do you have to blame me! It was your people who made the mistake!"
Yun Panshan's pupils widened, his mind worked rapidly, and he said, "I don't know."
Xiang Liangyu gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for this device activating the defense system of the Creation Sky Curtain, Leng Wusi and the others would have returned to their world!"
"The system has begun to deploy spies in non-gaming areas. The only exit is under surveillance. Please remember that it is you who blocked your way home."
After saying this, Xiang Liangyu glared at him and threw him to the ground. Yun Panshan's head hit the ground, he felt dizzy, and finally he closed his eyes and fell to the ground unconscious.
A player who watched the whole process walked up to Xiang Liangyu and said, "Although I don't know who filmed the video, they are all our friends who lived and died together. I apologize to you on behalf of our friends, and thank you for thinking about us."
"Whether he took the hidden camera away intentionally or not, it was indeed because of him that things came to this conclusion. Let's not get angry first. Is there anything we can do? Perhaps there is still room for redemption?"
Player personal information disclosure:
【Name: Wang Muxi
Role: Editor
Health: 100%
Available props: (S-level) Divine Sound Headset (the louder the sound, the stronger the faith). 】
Xiang Liangyu chuckled, "Your tools are useless to me. Don't try to hypnotize me. You have completely blocked your own path. I have no way to stop you."
After saying that, Xiang Liangyu unplugged the USB drive and left with Quan Shengyan.
The system's surveillance was strengthened, and Xiang Liangyu could clearly feel that someone was watching him every moment.
The players' live broadcast mission has been completed. After the players' operation, the documentary's popularity has continued to rise. The main mission has also been completed by 90%. The editor is racing against time to edit the video. Now only the panoramic shooting is left to be completed.
Although Xiang Liangyu did not cause trouble to the player according to the task prompt, their relationship still did not improve. The player also knew that he had wronged her and racked his brains to win over Xiang Liangyu, but she ignored him directly.
The last shoot is scheduled for tomorrow at noon, when the sun is at its best. As the number of players has been cut in half, the editors and operators behind the scenes will pick up cameras and shoot from the highest point and the roof .
And on that night, Xiang Liangyu and Quan Shengyan had a candlelight chat as usual. It was the first time that Xiang Liangyu's emotions were so up and down that she had a lot to say but nowhere to say it. Quan Shengyan became a good listener.
He did not show any impatience. On the contrary, he listened very seriously, looking into Xiang Liangyu's eyes with burning eyes.
It's just that his gaze was too passionate, and every time Xiang Liangyu was speaking, he would pause hesitantly, and then they would look at each other for a moment in a strange atmosphere, and then continue speaking at Quan Shengyan's smiling gesture.
Xiang Liangyu lay on the table in frustration and said, "It would be great if I were just an anonymous NPC without any thoughts."
Quan Shengyan reached out and touched her hair. Before he could say anything to comfort her, Xiang Liangyu suddenly sat up, looked at him and said, "Quan Shengyan, I want to see what you look like as a mermaid..."
"Bang-"
The door was suddenly opened, and the night wind rushed in crazily. Xiang Liangyu and the other turned around at the same time, only to see Yun Panshan rushing into the room, putting the computer on the table, and moving the screen in front of Xiang Liangyu: "I found a loophole!"
Xiang Liangyu: “?”
Yun Panshan pushed Xiang Liangyu away, sat on the chair and tapped the screen: "I cut off all the system monitors, so there is no need to worry about everything being eavesdropped. You said that the system has begun to pay attention to non-game areas, so the defenses in the game areas must be not as good as before. I just successfully hacked into the database of the main system and found a loophole in this world."
Xiang Liangyu's eyes widened in disbelief, "You hacked into the main system's database?"
Yun Panshan grabbed Xiang Liangyu's arm and pulled her to the computer screen. He said, "This is the layout of this world. I am sure we are still on Earth, but this world is hidden in an area that we don't know about or have never seen."
"Where the eyes of the human face at the top of the Central Life Tower are looking is the exit."
Xiang Liangyu glanced at Yun Panshan, then glanced at the screen and said, "Do you trust me so much?"
Yun Panshan exhaled: "In fact, many people wanted to follow you to the non-game area, but Leng Wusi refused. She was also afraid that this was your conspiracy, because even if they died, they would not be wiped out. But she didn't expect that there was an invitation letter player in the team."
"I compared the number of people and their appearances in the video and found that his personal information was fake. He was an invited player and he deliberately hid the hidden camera on his body. He wanted to get evidence of the existence of this world. As for what he wanted this evidence for, I don't know."
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Also, I accidentally opened the information database, and your personal information was the most obvious, so I clicked on it and took a look. Although it was triple-confidential, I found a picture."
Xiang Liangyu looked at the computer. There were three pictures on the screen, one as a baby, one when she was five years old, and one now.
Yun Panshan: "If you are really a created robot, these pictures cannot be explained. I will delete the three photos when the time comes. You'd better check your source carefully."
"Man-made machines can never have autonomous consciousness. Either you are not a machine, or your autonomous consciousness does not belong to you."
He stopped talking and said, "Xiang Liangyu, I can actually feel the system's indulgence towards us non-invited players. Because we are innocent, Leng Wusi and Ciliang were able to pass through that barrier. However, he has zero indulgence towards invited players. If it weren't for him, Leng Wusi would have gone home by now."
He discussed with her his ideas and plans for tomorrow's filming. The three of them discussed until very late. When Yun Panshan saw the computer flashing red light, he stood up, closed the computer, and said, "The system is being repaired urgently. I'll go back first."
He stepped out of the door with one leg, and as if he had thought of something, he turned around and said, "You have killed many of my friends. If you allow me, I ask you to release their souls."
Xiang Liangyu looked away: "You said exactly the same thing as him, but I am not a god. Man-made machines will not have autonomous consciousness, let alone become gods. What's more, this world does not need gods."
Yun Panshan smiled and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future? It's a fifty-fifty chance of death or immortality."
