Volume 15: Organisms and Organisms and Organisms Chapter 58: Calming Down Emotions
'I'd like to insert an emergency notice. Due to changes in the space environment and a supernova explosion three light years away, the player planet's protective shield was hit by the shock wave from three years ago. Considering that this shock was outside the scope of the plan, although it has been intercepted, it still caused some vibrations. Please don't panic about this, and trust the Holy Light Sequence to protect the players. This kind of negligence will never happen again, so you can rest assured.'
As if afraid that the players would not believe it, everyone could choose to open a video link. It showed the current situation outside. The rainbow ion flow from the supernova was like a wave washing over the huge meteorite and the combined battleship where the players were.
Although a solid barrier was quickly erected around them, the shockwave still caused some deformation of the shield when it first arrived. But the deformation was not so much about being unable to bear it, but more about the feeling of being disrupted by the sudden force. In addition, several powerful mages persisted in refuting rumors, and all the players soon put their doubts aside and immersed themselves in the live broadcasts of the players they wanted to watch. After all, the technical strength of Holy Light is very powerful. If you want to watch from any obscene angle, you just need to pay magic power. It can be said that they understand people's hearts very well.
But in this beautiful environment, Druid felt that all this was too normal. The broadcast did not explain what the distorted sun meant, or rather, it was too lazy to explain. But after the Red Knight, Druid felt that he might not love again. Everything he saw was distorted. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the explanation of the Holy Light was full of falsehood and doubt.
The simplest one is, isn't the Holy Light the most powerful organization in the universe? Didn't they control the gods to build this planetary battleship? Then why didn't they anticipate the shock wave of the supernova three light years away? Was it because of negligence? Or was there some other reason?
One god might have been negligent, but could such a stupid thing happen to a group of gods?
Druid didn't believe it, at least she thought she shouldn't. It's a good quality for every scientist to be skeptical. Even when playing games, one shouldn't turn a blind eye to these obviously problematic places. These places are obviously full of all kinds of weird problems. But when she told her friends about her doubts, she got weird, even embarrassing looks from other players.
"I think you may have done too much of the real-life stuff, and everyone looks like a villain or spy to you. Don't use your seventy or so auxiliary brains when playing games. Can't you just enjoy the fun of the game? Otherwise, you can analyze a hundred or eighty results for every sentence someone says."
The friend looked at the calm druid and shook his head helplessly.
"If you ask me, this is just a problem with the monitoring personnel. Doesn't this just highlight that this is actually a perfect and orderly world? Gods can make mistakes. After all, it was a supernova explosion three years ago. No one knew that the shock waves would be placed here. And they also reorganized a more solid defense field. This is already good. How much more do you want? I think this is quite reliable. Players and NPCs are glued together in this way. Is there any problem?"
"But don't you think there are too many weird things here? These vessels that absorb magic power, these arenas that require all magic power to fight, everything here needs magic power to maintain. It can even be said that players can't PK now. They can only PK in special arenas because all the magic power has been drained away. Don't you think it's a problem?"
"No, the game is set as a safe zone, so in order to comply with the setting, a lot of energy-sucking arrays are placed here to prevent people from jumping around in there . Is that okay? What's wrong with this? Are you under too much pressure lately and your brain is broken?"
"…Maybe. I'll go verify it."
Seeing his friend's increasingly strange look, the druid bit his lip and thought he should go investigate.
Since everyone says there is no problem, but I think there is, then from the perspective of a scientist, I should verify it. After all, science always stands on the side of the minority, questioning ordinary things and then discovering the laws contained in them, this is the spirit of scientific research.
Besides, after being backstabbed by the Red Knight, Druid really felt that there was something wrong with everyone he looked at, and he would never love anyone again. Such a beautiful person, such a pitiful person, turned out to be a lunatic or something, Druid could not accept it at all. Speaking of questioning, Druid was not sure whether he wanted to find the Red Knight or really wanted to figure out the problem. But the two were on the same line, no problem.
After drawing back his magic power, the druid quickly found the building where the NPCs gathered according to the prompts. Although the player conference was in full swing inside, there were still dozens of golden armored NPCs patrolling outside the building, and the dense defense alarms around were even several times more than when there were people. Seeing such a vigilant look, the druid knew in his heart that there might be something wrong with these places. After all, there was no need to add these guards if you had nothing to do. Since the players were all inside, and you still installed so many guards, it can only be said that the things inside are greatly involved with the outside.
Those players are probably being used as batteries. But all this is just speculation, and the rest still depends on the plot. If it is confirmed that these NPCs actually use the players to do something bad, it will probably be really big news.
After thinking about it, the druid put on an arrogant attitude and walked in front of the patrol team.
"I'm frustrated watching the competition. Let me go in and see what you guys are up to."
"I'm sorry, but you can't pass here."
"I am a player. I have the right to pass through any area on this planet. This is a right granted by the game company. This is the player's planet, not yours."
"I'm sorry, but you can't pass here."
"Don't you have any other reaction?! I want to go in!"
"I'm sorry, but you can't pass here."
“…”
Looking at the guard who was like a tape recorder, the druid's plan froze in place for a moment.
But as if God didn't want this farce to end so soon, a man's joking voice came from behind the druid.
"Stop yelling over there, these guys can't hear you. They are just a group of patrols. They look like real people, but they are actually just a group of AI robots. It's really funny that the AI robots in the game are so stupid."
"…Who's over there?"
"A player who wants to find out the truth of the matter, that's all."
A slender mage player in a long robe walked out of the shadows and smiled like an ally as he looked at the somewhat surprised druid.
