War Paradise

"So, you just accepted the suggestion unknowingly, plus the other party's hypnosis, it will become like that."

Universe Hao, who just woke up, after listening to Lin Chi’s explanation, reached out and held his forehead:

"That's it..." He gritted his teeth.

He was so busy every day that he hadn't noticed the abnormal changes in his home. If I could be more sensitive, maybe this time things would not happen.

"Don't think too much, it is meaningless to regret now." Lin Chi looked down at Universe Hao sitting on the sofa: "The top priority now is to wake up the girl herself."

Rushing in the connected state may damage the girl's consciousness. However, as long as Universe Hao’s Little Sister can be separated from the virtual world, with the exoskeleton on Lin Chi, it is a piece of cake to open the door of the game cabin.

"But we can't find the entrance to that virtual space at all." Howe Universe lowered his head: "Unless the monster continues to hypnotize, but he is not a fool either..."

"Well, he probably won't hypnotize us again." Lin Chi nodded.

With the lessons learned last time, the "monster" who controlled Universe's Little Sister might have moved the game warehouse to another place. Even if the game warehouse is still in the basement, it is difficult for them to reconnect to the virtual world with "Sophia" and "Black".

However, if you can negotiate with those people...

Lin Chi gave an order to Frankenstein to try to contact "A" who had chatted with Little Sister, the Universe Hao, and then sat on the sofa, picked up a can of ice-cola from the Universe Hao's refrigerator, and carried it. Started to take a sip.

"Don't blame yourself too much." Lin Chi turned to look at the dejected old classmate who sat next to him: "We still have hope."

"Is there any more?" Universe Hao punched on the sofa: "Don't comfort me, it's all my fault..."

"I was serious."

Before Lin Chi finished speaking, Frankenstein had already sent a message:

"Found him."

"So fast?" Lin Chi asked in surprise.

"The other party may still be monitoring this building." Frankenstein replied, "He wants to talk to you."

"OK." Lin Chi nodded, picked up the phone and walked to the bedroom of the Universe family.

"What are you doing?" Universe Howe's voice was low.

"Wait for me, I want to analyze some clues." Lin Chi casually said a reason, then turned around and closed the door.

Universe Howe's mood is still unstable, and now letting that guy communicate with the enemy who is suspected to be the mastermind may repeat the situation in the warehouse.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Chi also chose to have a dialogue with the other party:

After adding the other's friend from Frankenstein's side, Lin Chi looked at the other's default black humanoid avatar, and typed a line of greeting: "Hello."

One second later, a line of black words appeared on the phone screen:

"I'm watching you."

"Well, I know." Lin Chi's reply was rather calm.

"You are nervous."

"That's not true. My friend is very nervous." Lin Chi replied.

Even when he learned that he was being monitored, Lin Chi still did not panic. He leaned his upper body on the wooden chair and put his legs on the side of the bed. He assumed a comfortable posture he was more accustomed to, and continued to chat with the other party on his mobile phone.

"Aren't you afraid." A sent a message.

"What is there to be afraid of?" Lin Chi replied, "Can you still kill me?"

"Maybe it can."

"Don't talk about it." Lin Chi ignored the threat from the other party and quickly entered the text: "I said, can you return that girl to us? You are kidnapping."

"She is part of our plan." The other party responded honestly: "The same for you."

"The girl kidnapping plan?" Lin Chi said sarcastically.

"Our plan is much greater than that." A said, "With all due respect, you can't stop it."

"In that case, how about let's join? I also want to visit that world." Lin Chi sent a message.

As long as you can enter that virtual world, you may be able to find hope for the girl to escape. But as Lin Chi had expected, the other party would obviously not agree so easily:

"You are not in the scope of invitation."

"Then what are you monitoring us for?" Lin Chi asked.

"No comment."

Realizing that the other party is not that easy to be fooled, Lin Chi thought for a while and sent another message:

"I know who you are."

"You don't know anything." A's reply seemed to contain sarcasm.

"You are the'Oasis Army'." Lin Chi said his own speculation.

"..."

The other party sent out an ellipsis, and the head was grayed out.

"Am I right?" Lin Chi continued typing: "I'll tell you another news. I still know where'Mesh Sala' is."

——Following Masselah’s "Legacy" and continuing to attack the player, it should be the Oasis Army that was right.

After Lin Chi sent this message, A's avatar lights up again:

"who are you?"

"Passerby." Lin Chi gave a perfunctory reply.

"you are lying."

"If you want to know, how about letting us join the game?" Lin Chi took advantage of the situation and put forward a condition: "It seems that you can temporarily block human memory. As long as our memory is also blocked, there will be no trouble. By the way, there are a few more experimental products, don't you think about it?"

"I will communicate with my partner."

After saying this, A's head went dark again.

"now it's right……"

Lin Chi put away his phone and returned to the living room full of rubbish, just in time to meet Universe Hao who had just stood up.

"What were you doing just now?" Universe Howe seemed to be still suspicious.

"I chatted with the mastermind." Lin Chi's answer was very refreshing.

"You kid..." Universe clenched his fists.

Seeing that Universe Hao was about to attack, Lin Chi said hurriedly: "Don't worry, he will take the initiative to contact me. After all...our conditions have been negotiated."

"What did you say to him?" Universe Howe asked.

"It's nothing." Lin Chi brought up the question in one stroke, and then suddenly said: "I probably know what they are going to do."

Speaking of this topic, Universe gritted his teeth: "It's a damn human experiment..."

"No, I don't think that was their main purpose." Lin Chi shook his head: "The experiment is only incidental. Their purpose should be'retaliation' and'entertainment'."

"What do you mean?" Universe stared at him with furrowed brows.

Hearing Universe Hao’s question, Lin Chi sat on the sofa, picked up half of the Coke he had just drunk, and began to tell the story to the anxious man:

"I once met a person in a virtual game. He is the product of a system bug and will never die. Even if he is killed, he will be resurrected soon."

"The horrible thing is that although he will not die, his body will still age. As time goes by, his body has become unimaginably weak due to aging. The whole person is like a skeleton in human skin. ."

"Later, one day, this person learned of the existence of the'real world' we were in. He sadly discovered that in the eyes of our players, own life is just a useless plaything."

"This angry old man decided to retaliate against the players in the real world. He used some means to turn some of the players he had contacted into lunatics who lost his mind..."

As soon as he said this, Universe Howe's eyes suddenly widened: "Are you talking about'psychedelics'?"

"Now, that old man has been imprisoned and can no longer retaliate against society. But he still has a dangerous army called the'Oasis Army'."

Having said this, Lin Chi coughed: "The next part is my inference. I have no definite evidence: The Oasis Army, like the old man, is also planning to retaliate against the humans who make fun of them. However, the Oasis Army. The way to choose is not to make people crazy, but to treat them with their own ways."

"What do you mean?" Universe Howe's voice became hoarse.

"It means that the Oasis Army may be trying to treat us humans as ‘entertainment objects’ like real-world players."

"I don't understand." Universe's face was gloomy: "Can you explain it in detail?"

"This is just my speculation." Lin Chi put the empty bottle aside: "I was thinking, if I were an NPC in the game, after I learned the truth, I might also choose this method of revenge-the real world. The humans here tricked into the virtual world, and then tampered with the memories of these humans, turning these people who were originally players into the'playthings' of the NPCs."

"You mean... NPC started to'play' with humans?" Howe Universe finally understood.

"I think so." Lin Chi nodded.

If the encounter with Universe Hao Little Sister was really done by the Oasis Army, combined with the various strange things before and the conversation with A just now, this is the conclusion that Lin Chineng has drawn.

——Different from Methuselah, the "Oasis Army" chose a more gentle way of revenge, but it was unusually ironic.

As people often said decades ago: "You are playing the game, don't let the game play you." The girl who is still lying in the strange metal warehouse may be "played by the game". State!

"This can't be true!" Universe kept shaking his head irritably: "It's ridiculous..."

The NPCs in the game started to treat real humans as playthings. This kind of thing really sounds strange. but……"I also hope that own inference is wrong."

Lin Chi smiled: "But if this is the case, our chances may be even greater."

"Is that so, what chance do we have?" Universe Howe almost shouted: "Go on your knees and beg those NPCs to let me go, Little Sister?"

"Those revengeful NPCs should still want to find more'toys'." Lin Chi explained: "I have already proposed to join the game. If we can enter that'world' again, we will have the opportunity to take you Little Sister. Run away, right?"

Having said that, this plan is clearly dangerous. Universe Hao also immediately began to refute:

"Are you sure we can leave if we go in? My "dream" is the same as the real thing. At that time, I really thought I was a bullshit "Black"! If we go in too, maybe we won't come back again!"

"That's because you have received long-term psychological cues, so you can be hypnotized so easily. Don't forget, I don't have a computer screen with a suggestion at home." Lin Chi said.

"Anyway, this is still ridiculous..." Howe Universe reached out his hand and grabbed his own hair: "It's just a game character... Can you really do this kind of thing?"

Seeing that the guy had begun to doubt life, Lin Chi did not continue to speak, but just picked up the phone and communicated with Frankenstein in text:

"Can you be sure that this phone is not monitored?"

"I'm pretty sure." A cold female voice sounded in the earphones: "Their technology is not worth mentioning in front of me."

"OK, I need a contact method that is not monitored." Lin Chi entered the text quickly.

"But they heard what you just said." Frankenstein said.

"That was intentional."

Lin Chi patted Universe Howe's shoulder while typing in the text, and asked, "Shall we go for a walk together?"

"I'm not in the mood..." Universe frowned.

"That's why I need to relax."

Lin Chi Lian dragged Universe Hao out of the dirty apartment, dragged him into the fire-proof staircase, stood in the blind spot just below the camera, and asked in a low voice, "You didn't bring your mobile phone here, right?"

"It's still on the sofa..." Universe said grumpily, "What are you doing?"

"Your house is being watched by the Oasis Army." Lin Chi said, looking back at the top of the stairs: "What we said in the living room should have been heard by them."

"Then why are you talking? Are you stupid?" Universe was surprised.

"I want them to hear those words." Lin Chi's answer was succinct and clear: "Let's not talk about this. It is not safe to rely on the two of us alone, and we need some reinforcements."

Recalling the threatening words of the other person in the warehouse, Universe Hao immediately said: "You can't call the police, otherwise she will die..."

"Well, what we need is people who are in this city, who understand virtual games very well, are willing to lend a hand, and are firm-willed, who will not be easily hypnotized." Lin Chi stared at Universe Hao: "You know such a person. person?"

Even if it is a secret operation, it is too dangerous to rely on the two of them alone. In addition to Frankenstein, Lin Chi needed the assistance of others.

"Your requirements are too high..." Universe drooped his head weakly: "Can such a person really be found?"

"I have a friend here who can help. But it is not in this city and can only be remotely assisted through electronic devices." Lin Chi said: "For safety, it is better to find someone else. If you have a trusted colleague. , You can call for help."

"They are all very busy now." Universe sighed: "It was hard to get a short vacation, and finally I don't have to contact those people every day..."

Having said this, Universe Howe suddenly raised his head, and finally a glimmer of light reappeared in his godless eyes:

"Maybe someone can help us."
