The world enters the age of myth

"No."

"Never died..."

"No……"

"Yes, I died before the captain... I lied to you, haha! I successfully returned to the village, I'm going to see the bronze mirror right now!"

"The grass looks exactly like me!"

"You haven't died yet. How are the buddies who refreshed the captain?"

As the group of friends started chatting about some strange topics, Zhang Heng couldn't help but become frightened, and that strange feeling of contradiction arose again.

He shook his head vigorously, his bloodshot eyeballs protruded, and he felt exhausted.

But soon, the mysterious whispers sounded again, and Zhang Heng lost his mind again. He thought that these sand sculptures had unified their caliber and deliberately came to amuse him!

"Haha, you want to join forces to deceive me, how is it possible? Are you such an gullible person?"

He took out his phone and a familiar interface popped up. Dark yet familiar music played. It looked quite normal...

I said, they are lying to me.

"No."

"No captain has ever died."

The group is still swiping the screen in unison.

"Really or not, no one has died to the captain?! It's impossible. In such a hard-core game, it's normal for the team to be destroyed, right?"

The little detectives in the group started to use their brains: "Either the captain will not die and can be resurrected even if he dies, it's no big deal. Or there will be a supernatural event, and everyone who died before the captain... you know! Just like in the game As the setting is, the body is taken over by the devil.”

"Axi, please don't kill the captain, or those who have died before the captain will take a chance! You must take a screenshot!"

"I'd better not play it now. It felt weird from the beginning."

I don’t know what happened, but the chat interface suddenly became quiet, and not many people dared to speak.

None of the people still chatting had died before the captain.

It is said that the captain died, but there are no screenshots, so it is not convincing enough.

However, the occurrence of supernatural events made the sand sculpture group members even more excited, and rumors started flying in the group.

There are really people who have a suicidal mentality and are eager to try. They are curious and want to die. Humans are such magical creatures. Even if they are in Yanghe, they can't help but want to do something.

Others are persuading: "Our current environment is different from the past. Don't commit suicide! Call the police as soon as possible!"

However, developer Zhang Heng was not the only one peeking at the screen in the group.

In the security department of the Hope, there were also several soldiers on duty who were watching the game group. They only officially intervened in the monitoring after being reminded by Hei Shasha on the Sea of ​​Clouds.

After all, there is too much private information, and people are chatting all the time. No matter how many people there are, it is impossible to monitor it.

And after they saw these chat records, they were so scared that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.

"If what these people say is true, something serious may have happened!" The soldier on duty had dilated pupils and the hairs on his neck stood up.

"Have you detected the residence of the game developer?"

"The investigation revealed that he is an ordinary civilian. He lives in the D-3 area."

"Send someone over to take a look."

A group of soldiers on the night shift rushed out. Wearing psychic armor, they moved toward Zhang Heng's room.

Since it was a civilian residential area, they did not dare to make too much noise and just carried out their tasks quietly.

Zhang Heng, who was hiding in the room, was breaking into a cold sweat under the whispered reminder.

He was discovered.

His eyes suddenly turned red and wild.

"They want to destroy my game."

"No...absolutely not!"

"Now is not the time, there is still time, I still need time!"

This strange idea became more and more intense, almost driving people crazy. Zhang Heng's face turned red, and the more he thought about it, the more crazy he became. Gritting his teeth, he picked up a pair of scissors and quietly hid them behind the door.

At this moment, several Hope soldiers responsible for the investigation had arrived near Zhang Heng's room.

The leader was Major Xu Hui, the big man who had fought with Guo Weiqiang.

His face was serious, he held his breath and cautiously moved closer to the room in front of him.

Suddenly, the detector clipped to his waistband beeped several times.

Xu Hui's expression changed. This was a portable detector given to them by the Yunhai. It could detect whether there were supernatural phenomena nearby.

Now the detector is ringing, indicating...

"Be careful." He gestured. This kind of portable detector has a simple structure and is about the size of a mobile phone. It is only used for preliminary investigation. Therefore, there is no way to detect how strong this mysterious super power is.

"Bump the door!"

After receiving the order, a soldier activated his psychic powers and crashed into the door!

"boom!"

Under the action of the psychic barrier, the door was broken with one blow. However, in the next moment, a man with unkempt hair, as if he hadn't washed his hair in half a month, with bloodshot eyes, rushed over with scissors!

Zhang Heng, who had lost his mind, was very fast and thrust the scissors forward at an incredible angle.

The soldier who hit the door was unable to dodge and could only rely on the psychic barrier on his body to resist.

There was a loud "click", and for some reason, the ordinary scissors actually broke through the psychic barrier and penetrated into the soldier's protective helmet.

Blood immediately splattered!

"Don't destroy my game!" Zhang Heng yelled crazily with red eyes, "Otherwise, you will all die!"

"catch him!"

Seeing his teammate being stabbed, Xu Hui gritted his teeth, pounced forward, and grabbed hold of the opponent with both hands. This time, he used the military grappling technique to grab the opponent's joints.

However, Zhang Heng, who was in a state of madness, was actually extremely powerful. Even if Xu Hui used his psychic powers, he could not subdue him for a while.

"Lock his joints!"

More and more soldiers rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Heng's limbs. Under close hand-to-hand fighting, within three minutes, Zhang Heng's hands and feet were covered with people, and his body was tightly tied with several wire ropes.

Even though he was still in an abnormal state of madness, he could no longer move.

"How is Xiaofang...?"

After subduing the crazy game maker, Xu Hui quickly walked to the injured soldier.

I saw the scissors inserted into his eye socket, and a large amount of blood seeped out of the eyeball. If it were inserted a few centimeters further, it might reach the brain.

He took a deep breath and did not dare to pull out the scissors at will. He notified the hospital as quickly as possible for emergency rescue.

However, this matter is not over yet, but has just begun...

The Hope government naturally has a complete set of emergency mechanisms. Dai Lun, Liang Zhenhui and other senior officials soon learned of the relevant news, and their hearts beat wildly.

Paranormal phenomena related to the Internet spread extremely quickly, affecting nearly a thousand people at once!

The army was dispatched urgently and the entire population was on alert.

Internet activities are recorded. It took about an hour to find nearly a thousand "Demon Kingdom" players, including students, workers, white-collar workers, and various professions.

As a result... a total of 41 people fell into a vegetative state.

Once the captain in the game dies, the player will become a vegetable!

Players whose captains are not dead are actually still alive and well...but it is still unknown whether they will be able to escape danger in the end or whether they will become crazy.

After these shady netizens met in real life, they were all in a state of panic and nervousness, because a supernatural phenomenon really happened. This is not a joke, someone will die if they are not careful!

…

"Didi!"

Lu Yiming was sleeping soundly on the bed holding his own pillow, when suddenly an alarm sounded from the bedside table.

He quickly sat up from the bed, looked at his phone, and saw the yellow alert flashing on the screen.

He was moved in his heart, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly answered the phone: "Hey, what happened? Why is there an orange alert all of a sudden?"

Orange alert is an emergency mechanism second only to red alert, which means that unknown risks are brewing, but this risk has not yet caused major casualties.

"Military Corps, something bad is going on. Something happened on the Hope. Come over here quickly!"

The correspondent on duty hurriedly said: "A supernatural accident is breaking out! 41 people have turned into a vegetative state. This vegetative state is a bit like falling into a nightmare curse. Nearly nine hundred people are also implicated!"

"Almost a thousand people in total!"

Lu Yiming's pupils shrank. Was this already a major safety incident?

If it goes any further, it’s a red alert.

"Didi!" A few seconds later, Jin Lili's cell phone also rang.

She opened her eyes drowsily, and after hearing the outline of what happened, she hurriedly climbed out of bed, "Why are you still standing there, let's go!"

It is now 12:13 at night, the corridor lights inside the shelter are turned off, most of the citizens have fallen asleep, and only a few night owls are still awake.

But outside Yanghe, it was very bright at noon.

This happened to the Hope next door. The military on the Unkai had already been on alert in all directions. Almost all the soldiers were awakened. The sensitivity of various detection instruments was turned to the maximum, but no abnormalities were found.

As he hurried along the way, Lu Yiming saw many old acquaintances, including some Liu Xuwei, Zhong Peng, and supernatural scientists such as Jin Lili who were urgently recruited.

Everyone gathered in one room, about 200 people in total.

Seeing everyone coming together, Colonel Shi Dayong, who was on night shift, waved his hand, "Let's go, the matter is urgent, let's chat while we're at it."

He hurriedly spoke: "This accident was caused by a video game. The content in the game has mutated, which will cause people to have an immersive hallucination... The game maker has been controlled and is currently in a state of chaos. An abnormal state of madness.”

"The most important thing is that after the death of the protagonist in the game, the human body in real life will fall into a vegetative state."

"This is the phenomenon observed so far. Do you have any thoughts?"

"After all... the accident on the Hope is our accident from now on. We still have to find a way to solve it."

Professor Huang from the Supernatural Laboratory said: "We can only follow the process and measure the ether value first to see if there are any clues, and then think of a solution. Let's analyze the specific difficulties in detail."

Another expert also nodded and said: "That's the only way it can be. No matter what, we have to see the real thing before we talk. It's meaningless for us to discuss it in a vacuum now."

Lu Yiming frowned slightly. Since the negotiations had not yet been completed, the Hope did not have many reconnaissance instruments, and its defensive strength was more than one level lower than that of the Yunhai.
