War Paradise

The two drove through the streets of Brooklyn in the rainstorm on a motorcycle covered with ashes. Passersby stood motionless in the heavy rain, their gazes were dull and out of focus, just like statues made by poor artists.

Lin Chi had to say that this was the NPC in "War Paradise", the closest moment to the "mentally retarded NPC" in other games.

These passers-by, who were originally radiant and different, seemed to have lost their souls at this time, completely devoid of the clever feeling they had before.

——So, who died in the fire just now, was it a set NPC or an independent AI with self-will?

Thinking of this question, Lin Chi's heart suddenly sank. Although it shows that "Paradise of War" is just a game, even if you kill people on the street, there will be no problems here. but……

What happened just now was not a small-scale killing, but a massacre with more than three million Deaths!

If all those who die are those brainless NPCs who have only a few repeated lines and continue to cycle between ghosts and animals. But it was not the kind of character who died in the fire just now. It is a "virtual world inhabitant" who seems to be indistinguishable from human beings.

"This game...what is going on?"

Lin Chi squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to remove the bangs on his forehead after being soaked in the rain.

"What's the matter?" Crazy Ivan's puzzled voice came from behind: "Aren't you going to find that person?"

"It's okay." Lin Chi shook his head: "It's just a headache."

While talking, he has reached the location marked on the map.

Lin Chi parked his motorcycle beside the dirty street and walked straight to an apartment on the side of the street that looked very old.

Different from the location of your own safe house, this block should be a typical slum area. Although it is better than the living environment in the sewer, it is not much better.

The building made up of broken plastic panels looks completely inconsistent with the architectural level of 2050. The white roof with a few large holes obviously cannot shelter the residents from the wind and rain, and the broken walls and houses The door also seemed to fall down with one push.

Lin Chi stood in front of the door and immediately found that the door was not locked, but was hidden. Before opening the door, he used the electronic eye to contact the only hero-level NPC he received in this game:

"Are you there?"

Unlike before, No. 7 did not respond. After waiting for a minute, Lin Chi sent another message in the past:

"I'm going to open the door."

Then, Lin slowly pushed open the creaking front door of the old house and walked into the dark corridor.

The living room of the apartment is like a garbage dump soaked in water, emitting a foul smell, and it is not suitable for human living.

He cast his gaze to his feet, and soon found the wooden door leading to the basement at the end of the corridor.

Leaving Crazy Ivan guarding at the door, Lin Chi opened the wooden door, walked down the dark and damp stairs, turned on the night vision mode of the electronic eye, and observed the situation below.

Before entering the basement, there was a rotten smell blowing on his face. After walking down the steps, what you see is the cold and damp basement and the moss on the walls.

On the left hand side of the door, a large processor resembling a bookcase was displayed. Sparks were cracking and bursting. It was obviously destroyed in the AI ​​war just now.

Lin Chi cast his gaze to the right and immediately found his Target this time in the corner:

The hacker who once ranked seventh on the most wanted blacklist is sitting in the corner of the basement with his hands on his knees, surrounded by dirty water.

The clothing on this person is still the jumper and shorts from the last time I met Lin Chi. But unlike last time, No.7 has completely lost the mysterious and powerful aura it had before.

"He" now is just a lonely child.

"meet again."

Lin Chi said that he squatted down in front of No.7, staring at the shadow under the hood of the other party's pullover, the expression on his face suddenly became serious:

"You are the Little Sister of "King of Hackers" Kevin."

No. 7 didn't answer, just raised his head and glanced at Lin Chi, with a white chin and scarlet scar on the side of his mouth faintly exposed under the hood.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to answer, Lin Chi smiled, slowly speaking out the information he had:

"Kevin turned out to be just a vagrant. Although he can also use computers, let alone being a hacker, he doesn't even have the ability to hack the personal computer of an old lady on the street. It is you who made him a world-renowned hacker idol. ."

Seven continued to be silent.

"After putting your several shocking actions on his head, Kevin rose to fame in the hacker world. But he didn't have the ability to match his identity, so he was easily caught."

Speaking of this, Lin Chi paused meaningfully for a while: "And the reason why you came to New York is actually to..."

"I want to save him."

Number Seven finally spoke, with a decisive voice: "Things are not what you think, Kevin is actually a good person."

"Even if he used your deeds to show off everywhere, did he bring a hundred hackers to New York before he died?" Lin Chi asked in a low voice.

"He did this to make me happy. You won't understand." Seven shook his head: "Do you have anything else? If it's okay, please leave my house."

Lin Chi could see that after owning a series of "suffocating operations" just now, if No. 7 had a good impression, it might have dropped to a negative number now.

However, the next step is the point:

"I know, although you are here to save Kevin, you are a little hesitant in your heart, that's why you came a step later."

Lin Chi’s voice reverberated continuously in the damp basement, and every sentence was like a sledgehammer, hitting the other party’s heart heavily: "You don’t know, do you? Kevin’s real purpose is hidden in a private place. In my diary file. And that file is currently in my hands."

After Lin Chi spoke, No.7 was silent for a moment, and finally suffocated a sentence: "Don't try to lie to me, there is nothing in this world that I can't find."

Seeing that the other party didn't believe in own words, Lin Chi smiled, opened the encrypted document in the electronic eye, and read the first sentence inside:

"Dear D.W, I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth."

As soon as this word came out, No. 7's breathing suddenly rose. Obviously, this D.W should be a private name that only the brother and sister would use.

"You...could it be..."

Realizing that Lin Chi really had a secret document that he hadn't seen, No.7's voice began to tremble, and he asked hurriedly, "What else do you know? Tell me!"

Lin Chi did not continue reading, but took out a small computer from his pocket and created a projection of the document on the damp wall of the basement.

No. 7 suddenly turned his head and looked at the contents of the document in black on the white background on the wall. The thin shoulders wrapped in the jumper began to tremble slightly:

Dear D.W, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you the truth, because it’s not in my style to say it. But you can't see it anyway, I'll just write it here.

I know that you have always been very unconfident because of your own appearance, even though you have powerful abilities, you are unhappy all day long.

In fact, you don't need to be so inferior. The "big work" you do in your free time can already be in the annals of history, okay?

I know that you are very angry because of what I did, but I just want to prove that you are not as useless as you said. If you can officially "debut", the person who will be at the top of the hacker world will only be you, not me.

There is something wrong with the recent situation. The police seem to be eyeing me. Maybe I should find a place to hide. After all, your "big money" might make me murderous. but……

Even if I am dead and nailed in the coffin, I will shout with my rotten vocal cords: Daddy's Little Sister is invincible!

——Love your K.W.

After reading the contents of the document, No.7 turned her head tremblingly, slipped under her feet and almost fell, and the hood on her head also fell, revealing her neat short hair, unusually clear green eyes, and the original delicate face. Two shocking dark red scars.

"I was caught in a fire when I was a child. Since then, I haven't shown my face again, and have been hiding at home and surfing the Internet."

The girl’s voice was still low, but there was a little choked up: "That useless idiot, indeed, always wants to make me happy, I always scold him, after all, he is indeed too stupid..."

"Ha, maybe so."

Staring at the girl's exquisite but tragically disfigured face, Lin Chi nodded seriously:

"Although I am not your Big Brother, I agree with him on a certain issue-you are indeed the strongest hacker in the world."

"So now, do you want to join me and create a new history?"

Upon hearing this, the girl was silent for a moment, and for the first time a small smile appeared on her scarred face:

"Well, after all, I am'the invincible Little Sister'."
