War Paradise

When the time arrived at 23:59, the air seemed to be frozen in the basement of No. 33 Tongshan South Road.

Frankenstein stood next to the game cabin, holding a sharp iron piece in his right hand, focusing the lens on the connecting line under the game cabin.

Both the power cord and the data connection are connected through the cable below. As long as that line is cut off, the girl lying in the game cabin can be "released" instantly.

However, the line must be cut after the girl wakes up. Otherwise, her consciousness will be destroyed at the moment of disconnection, and even if rescued, she will become a complete lunatic.

The camera mounted on the game compartment turned slightly to capture the movements of Frankenstein, and the sound from the speaker still carried an undisguised mockery:

"Don't have any illusions, she can't wake up. She chose this world by herself—"

But before he finished speaking, there was a vague whimper in the game cabin:

"what……"

"Twenty-three fifty-nine minutes and thirty-seven seconds."

At the same time as the time was reported, the Frankenstein hand picked up the knife and cut off the power cord of the game compartment. Before the internal backup battery was activated, he reached out to grab the angular compartment door and pierced the iron piece into the gap to pry hard.

With a click, the door of the game cabin opened a small slit, and Frankenstein stretched out his arm to push the door hard, and grabbed a pale hand that protruded from the cabin.

"I... what am I..."

The short-haired girl who had just crawled out of the game cabin, her skinny face was full of daze, she blinked vigorously, and looked back at the infusion needle on her left hand, as if she hadn't reacted yet: "I... this is Where?"

"You will know." Frankenstein didn't have time to explain, he just rudely tore off the infusion tube and dragged the dazed girl out of the game compartment:

"We must leave immediately." Frankenstein said.

With the support of Frankenstein, the weak girl who had just returned to the real world limped towards the door, dragging her legs that hadn't recovered her strength.

The two had just arrived at the top of the stairs, and saw that several exoskeletons had rushed down from above, clutching melee weapons such as electric shock sticks in their hands.

"Ah!" The girl retreated a few steps in a panic.

"I'll solve it." Frankenstein said, letting go of her hand, and strode forward, the exoskeleton on the limbs glowed in the twinkling lights:

"Come on together, I'm in a hurry."

Looking at the white back of the welcoming robot, the girl looked down at her own hand, and the consciousness that had just returned quickly circulated in her mind.

Then, she finally remembered what happened before she woke up:

"He is... Universe Howe, I am... Zhou..."

At that time, she was still "dating", looking at the "blood man" who was talking to herself in confusion, her original understanding of own, but also suddenly deviated.

——I am not Sophia, but someone else. The Big Brother beside me is not a "Black", but...

"Universe How...?"

Black muttered to himself in a low voice, as if he had suddenly realized something. The originally confused expression disappeared in an instant, and he suddenly patted his forehead:

"By the way, I'm Universe! I'm here to save people! I forgot about it!"

"Save someone?" "Sophia" looked at him suspiciously: "We are not dating..."

Before she could finish her words, Black had already grabbed her shoulders and shook her, speaking fast as if she were participating in a RAP competition:

"Wake up soon, this is not reality... We are calculated by others!"

"Huh? But..."

Sophia hadn't finished speaking yet, the "Murder" next to him had already stepped forward, pushed Black directly away, and stood in front of her:

"This is simply a special world created using the system of "War Paradise". In that case, it should also follow the rules of the game."

"Are you talking...what?" Sophia continued covering her face: "What game?"

"What I want to say is: people will die if they are killed."

Having said that, the man suddenly lifted the iron rod he had picked up at some point and slammed it on Sophia's head!

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, Sophia's eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness simply and neatly.

When she opened her eyes again, it was like this.

——So, everything is illusory, I am not some "Sophia", but the Little Sister of Universe Howe.

"Well……"

She slowly raised her head, and saw the welcome robot with a white shell, already starting to fight the several exoskeletons that rushed in.

Then, those memories that were blocked in the virtual world finally returned:

"I am your attending doctor. The real you is lying on the hospital bed, unconscious because of the trauma to your brain. Only by leaving this illusory world can you truly wake up."

"what should I do?"

"Go to the basement of No. 33 Tongshan South Road, the door of the new world is opening to you. Come back, your family is waiting for you."

——Is that so... Am I being deceived...

Recalling those pale and feeble lies and the act of voluntarily arriving in the basement and lying down in the black cockpit, her thin face showed a weak smile:

"How could I... be fooled like this."

clang!

With a loud noise, the last exoskeleton was hit by Frankenstein and smoked, and fell to the ground and convulsed.

The Frankenstein who easily solved the enemy, grabbed the girl's arm again, and led her up the stairs.

"We should go now."

"Hmm..." The girl nodded, gratefully looked at the robot next to her, and asked: "Are you someone I know? Why do you want to...save me?"

"I am trusted by others." Frankenstein's answer was simple: "Go away."

In a while, law enforcement robots will arrive here, and there is no time to delay.

And... the guys who came to meet him should be coming soon.

Frankenstein and the girl walked out of the main entrance of the basement and returned to the midnight street. Just a few steps after they had walked out, a cylindrical security robot had already rushed in and stood in front of them:

"Stop, stop the action, we have been authorized to use lethal force—"

Boom!

With a loud noise, the security robot belonging to the city management agency was knocked out of five meters. When it fell to the ground, it smashed the "head" of the glass shell, and the metal fragments and various parts inside were spilled on the ground.

The black van that crashed into the security robot was parked in front of the two of them. The car body was sprayed with a white pattern of the game compartment, and a line of small characters hung under it: Brain Imaging Game Administration.

The door of the rear compartment of the van slammed open, and a man rushed down and took the girl's arm from Frankenstein:

"Are you okay?" the man asked with concern.

When she saw the other party’s face, two tears flowed down the girl’s face, and she called out the other party’s name in a trembling voice:

"Universe How..."

"It's me, it's me." The man squeezed Little Sister in his arms: "It's okay, you are safe."
