War Paradise

In the strictly encrypted recycling bin, a certain "scavenger" wearing a white shirt and black trousers is manually checking the abandoned programs inside.

The area inside the recycle bin is completely isolated from the office area outside. Lin Chi could not know the situation outside, but the electronic guards outside could not detect what he was doing inside.

Few people pay attention to places like recycle bins, which also provides a safe hiding place for Lin Chi. but……

Looking at the dark red door with spikes on the inner wall of the recycling bin, Lin Chi's heart slowly rose with an ominous premonition.

——The files here are not completely deleted, but the garbage temporarily stored in the recycle bin. If you want to be completely deleted, you may encounter a "cleanup program" responsible for deleting files.

Even if you are a human using modules, you may be dangerous when encountering a cleanup program. The other party regards himself as a junk program that needs to be cleaned up, and it is possible to directly "dispose" it.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi speeded up again and continued to check the contents of various files in the recycle bin.

He picked up a gray music box on the shelf. After opening it, an out-of-tune birthday song rang in his ears. It sounded like many people were singing in a chorus:

"Happy birthday...Happy-birthday..."

"It's so ugly, no wonder it will be deleted." While Lin Chi was complaining, he put the thing back on the shelf and continued to check other files.

The recycle bin was extremely quiet, almost no sound appeared, and the encrypted walls and doors blocked external information.

In this case, any details will be magnified. Therefore, when the dark red door inside the recycling bin began to open, Lin Chi naturally noticed it for the first time:

"..."

He stood silently in front of the entrance of the recycling bin, ready to run away at any time, focusing his gaze on the dark red metal door that was slowly opening outward.

As an online community designed with human thoughts, almost all programs in Realm are personified. To some extent, it is almost like an imaging game in the brain.

The dark red door slowly opened, and then what appeared in Lin Chi's sight was a Daoist-shaped shadow.

"This is……"

When he saw the Daoist shadow, Lin Chi suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately understood why this recycle bin uses advanced encryption:

What needs to be kept secret here is not the internal garbage program, but the "program" responsible for cleaning up the garbage!

What caught my eye was a figure wearing a brown cloak. A dark shadow was surging under the cloak. It was floating rather than standing.

Lin Chi, who had fought against this kind of thing in "War Paradise", immediately noticed an amazing fact:

——Although there are no in-game hints in Realm, now, I am facing an "executive officer"!

So, why does the "game manager" in the war paradise appear in the company's office area?

Lin Chi thought while observing the opponent's movements:

The executive officer who floated forward did not pay attention to the uninvited guests in the storage room. He just picked up a few garbage programs from the shelf, then turned and left, closing the dark red metal door by the way.

Until the guy left, Lin Chi still stood in the recycle bin without moving, thinking about what had happened just now:

It seems that Pulse Entertainment Company took the administrator-level NPC in the game directly to the company's office area for use, which is why they need to use encryption in the recycle bin.

However, even though things seemed "reasonable and reasonable," Lin Chi felt a sense of disharmony.

Realm's operating mode is similar to that of brain imaging games, and the use of in-game modeling in the office area of ​​a game company is actually nothing new.

Two years ago, Lin Chi had seen the news that employees of a certain game company all used the game's internal role modules to go to work.

At that time, in order to simulate the environment in the game, the company not only made the office area look like a map in the game, but also deliberately pulled out several NPC models in the game, put it in the office area, and matched it with the game. Original lines.

Although it is very strange that the executive officer appears here, if only a small number of NPCs in the game are used in the company, there is no need to encrypt them to conceal them.

——So, what exactly is Pulse Entertainment Company afraid of?

Realizing that something was wrong, Lin Chi stood in front of the locked dark red metal door, took out his own master key, and began to try to unlock the door.

Two seconds later, a line of prompt text appeared in his sight:

"The entrance authority is too high and cannot be unlocked."

The brute force cracking program provided by Frankenstein was deflated this time, and it was impossible to unlock the door inside the recycle bin.

Lin Chi, who wanted to keep up, had no choice but to give up his plan to follow. Put away the master key, turn and leave the recycling bin, and return to the corridor on the second floor.

Since the clues on the second floor could not be tracked further, he decisively began to move to the lower floor, continuing to search for possible clues.

Lin Chi, who used the office worker module, passed by the hurried office workers in the corridor, but stopped again when he was about to go down the stairs.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of a crazy possibility:

——Since Realm's operating mode is no different from in-brain imaging games, in this office area, the game controller in "War of Heaven" has appeared. So……

Walking around in the office area of ​​the company, these "people" who use the office worker module are real humans or NPCs coming out of the game?

If it were a game like "Blade", Lin Chi would naturally not think of this problem, but those NPCs in "Paradise of War" that can imitate humans completely aroused Lin Chi's suspicion.

Think about it carefully, even if you put the passerby NPC in the war paradise here, it should be difficult for you to recognize it. After all, just looking at words and deeds, there seems to be no difference between passers-by and real human beings.

Could it be that……

Lin Chi was thinking about it when he heard a cold electronic sound in the corridor again:

"The large-scale scan is over. Please come back to work, thank you for your cooperation."

In this way, the other hacker who invaded Pulse Entertainment just now should have been killed by the Electronic Guard. With the end of the large-scale scan, the electronic guards should also return to their normal patrol tracks.

Mindful of this, Lin Chi walked down the stairs quickly and entered the office area on the first floor of the Pulse Entertainment Company.

Then, a message appeared in his sight, the bold font of the red letter, and the exclamation mark that followed, vaguely revealing the meaning of danger:

"Get out of that area!-Frankenstein."
