Did something happen to Gu Buchao
Ruan Bai's expression changed, and he quickly continued to ask: "What's going on, is he okay now!?"
It's only been a few days, why did something happen to Gu Buchao!
What could happen to him, is it in reality or in the game
is he still alive
"We don't know," said the other end of the phone. "Two days ago, he suddenly fell into a deep sleep and couldn't wake up. Moreover, looking at the forum, many players are like him, like a vegetable."
"Safety is safety, but we are all worried that he will die one day and never wake up again." The other party said.
"Sleeping, how could this be?"
Ruan Bai was stunned when he heard this: "Is this state only limited to players? Did something happen in the game? Something happened to me these days, and I haven't connected to the Internet."
Her questions popped up one after another, and she wished she could understand everything clearly in an instant.
"You do not know?"
After listening to her words, Zhaoxi's teammates asked back in surprise.
He didn't know what to think of, and was silent for a few seconds before continuing.
"Xiaobai, you can go online and check it out. In the past few days...something has happened."
event
Or can I check online, major events related to players
Ruan Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he hung up the phone hastily.
Without the slightest hesitation, she quickly opened the webpage and searched.
And seeing this surprised her.
It turned out that half a month had passed since she went up the mountain!
She clearly remembered that it was only four or five days, but she didn't expect that the speed of time on the mountain was so different from that at the bottom of the mountain? !
For some reason, after opening the search bar, Ruan Bai entered the four words "escape game" with a flick of his finger.
The moment she pressed the search button, a series of important information popped up one by one—
[Shocked, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Huaguo trapped in the death escape game!][Hundreds of people became vegetative overnight, and they were all registered users of the escape game forum!][What kind of existence is an escape game? What sins has it done?][Is it a hype or a cult? Professor Wang talked about recent hot issues.]…
Ruan Bai was instantly stunned by the messy news reports and various articles.
Wait, what's going on here
After Ruan Bai first entered the escape game, he searched for information related to it.
She clearly remembered that just a month before she went up the mountain, there was nothing related to escape games on the Internet. She searched and found some horror-oriented novels, movies or games at most.
In order not to be resisted by external forces, the escape game system can be said to be cautious, and has been trying to hide itself and the players.
But these things that pop up now obviously no longer belong to the category of novels and games.
The existence of the escape game has been exposed? ?
Ruan Bai couldn't believe it, but she also felt that it would be a matter of time before the existence of the escape game was exposed.
There are a total of 150,000 registered users on the forum. Apart from these, there are also countless players who died before they could register. She has gone through more than a dozen rounds of the game and knows that most of the newcomers will find it difficult to survive.
It's hard not to pay attention to such a frequency of deaths.
She was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, she casually clicked into the video at the top.
This is the first video of the escape game when it appeared in front of the public. It was released just over ten days ago, the day after the day on Ruan Bai Mountain.
If she wants to know what happened recently, she should watch the most important videos or documents.
In the center of the video screen are a few middle-aged people sitting upright.
They seem to be highly respected and powerful, and each of them holds a thick stack of documents in their hands.
Facing the media below, they did not panic at all, showing the huge data survey results.
"...In recent years, the frequency of accidental death cases has become more and more frequent, and a considerable number of people died for no reason," said one of them, "by chance, we discovered that these accidental deaths Among the dead, many people knew each other in reality, and they would receive an unknown amount of property every once in a while... "
He gave two or three examples, all of which were subjects in some news reports in reality.
Not only did these people have their contact information, but they also met privately several times without telling their relatives and friends.
After that, at the same time in the future, in different places, accidents happened together and they died one after another.
"After a long-term investigation, we found that this kind of situation is not uncommon," a middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "We had speculated whether they had entered some kind of secret cult organization, but later we discovered that these discovered People all have one thing in common - they've all joined an anonymous forum called 'Escape Game'."
At this moment, Ruan Bai looked at the cases mentioned in the video, and a word flashed in his mind-team.
For the example they gave, 80% of them were players who formed a team. They met in reality, entered the game and entered as a team, and later died together in the game, and then they were discovered.
These experts noticed something strange based on the information. Ruan Bai was not surprised. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of people. Although this number seemed insignificant in a population of more than one billion, it was still a very large number of people.
With so many people, it is almost impossible not to cause some strangeness.
And many of the following speculations appeared smoothly.
After these people entered the forum and watched the content in the forum, they put forward an incredible conjecture: as they described, more than 100,000 people entered a game called escape.
Those who survive the escape game can continue to live and get certain rewards; players who are eliminated in the escape game will die in reality in various bizarre ways.
This idea is very unscientific, but it is currently the most supported view.
In addition, there are still some people who insist that they just joined a cult, have mental problems, and have hallucinations.
It’s just undeniable that whether there is a real escape game or a cult, these people must be controlled and “rescued”.
The police investigated the registered users inside, and a considerable number of them have died of various accidents!
Of course, there are also very few people who deeply dislike these reports, thinking that this is a bad hype and consumes the dead.
But no matter how different everyone's opinions are, one thing is certain—that is, this incident has attracted the attention of everyone in the country in a short period of time!
Even after almost half a month, its topic volume has remained high, without any sign of fading, and the number of views of any article related to it can easily exceed 10,000.
Ruan Bai took a cursory glance and scanned the comment section below.
[It's really scary... Fortunately, I haven't been selected, it's too scary. ][My uncle has been talking about it before he died. Once he heard me mention the word "escape game", he was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out. He died suddenly for no reason at work a year ago So, could he be the former player? ][I saw my high school classmate in the registered users of the forum... she died three months ago. ] [True or false, I really hope it is false! ]
[Am I the only one who finds it interesting? I really want to experience a legendary escape game, a real game! ]...
Driven by people with aspirations, the "escape game" became popular.
There are many people who hate fear, and there are also many people who find novelty and fun.
Looking at so many reporters' reports, Ruan Bai could even guess that Han Qiuwen and others must be among them.
It's just that these people took the hard and clear route of the escape game, while she and Bai Lianhua developed the system and took the secret route.
Rather than finding out the truth about the exposure of the game, she was more curious about why the escape game system would allow them to search for these
In order to hide their own existence, the escape game system will use special means to deal with many things.
For example, normal people will definitely not be able to enter the forum. In addition, many players will also exchange points for money, and the origin of the money will also be blurred.
In this case, it is very difficult for ordinary people to find out the truth of the game.
Even if someone leaked the information through a special method, but these things are so difficult to prove... At most, it is considered to be crazy and talking nonsense.
[These people should be believers of other gods,] the white lotus system that had disappeared for several days jumped out and explained for Ruan Bai, [If the gods they believe in are stronger than the escape game system, it would not dare Started against the believers of these gods.]Is that so...
Ruan Bai listened, and looked at the Buddha statues hanging around the necks of those people in the video, and seemed to realize something.
Huaguo has always had a very flat attitude towards things like religious belief.
The country will not promote a certain religion, but it will not interfere too much with other people's freedom of belief. As long as you don't believe in some harmful cults, everything else is fine.
Therefore, there are actually quite a few religions in China, among which Buddhism and Taoism have the most followers.
If these people are all Buddhists, then the escape game system will be intimidating to them, which makes sense.
She has known for a long time that the ability of a god is not ranked according to the strength in the legend at all, but by how many believers the god has and how many worships he has received.
The "believers" of the escape game system, from another perspective, are the hundreds of thousands of players it has had.
As for the gods, nature and the gods are one family.
Ruan Bai's intuition told her that gods and humans are not the same race, and they don't particularly care about humans at all. In their eyes, humans are probably the same as ants.
As long as the escape game doesn't kill millions of people in one go, or attack believers of other gods, other gods won't embarrass it.
In this way, it is a very safe way to choose believers of other gods to expose the escape game.
However, the current focus is not on this, but on what is going on with the "sleeping" phenomenon that appeared on those players!
In addition, after the escape game system is exposed, will it have any impact on their escape game system and game players
[Its existence is known to everyone, and it has a great impact.] The White Lotus System seemed to know what Ruan Bai was going to ask, and continued, [It is just a small god, and it can only recruit hosts secretly. You have to confirm that you are not a follower of other great gods. Now that it is being promoted so much, it is tantamount to declaring war on other gods. ] What the White Lotus system said should be the "hidden rules" between the gods, but after a quick look, it is still a bit difficult to understand.
Fortunately, Ruan Bai is very good at comprehension, after a little thought, she understood it all at once.
For example, these gods are like the lords of the ancient times of war, the Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing, the Tathagata Buddha, and the others. They have countless soldiers and counselors, and they own a large number of towns, land, population and soldiers.
Their status in the world of gods is almost that of heroes who have already dominated the world.
As for the escape game system and the White Lotus system, they are more like some non-government resistance organizations under the banner of "government force the people to rebel". Almost like bandits.
Under such circumstances, if the little bandit wants to seek power, of course he must be careful, for fear of being discovered by those great gods.
They didn't dare to promote themselves and recruit troops like the heroes, so they could only quietly call on the left and right folks to let them join them.
The behavior of the escape game system being exposed is tantamount to making a name in front of the people of the whole country.
It is a little bandit, and it is still imitating others to be king. Its behavior is so arrogant, which naturally arouses the dissatisfaction of the other lords.
In particular, after its appearance, it has indeed attracted the attention of many people.
Many teens find escape games so much fun that they want to try them out.
This kind of social reaction, in the eyes of other gods, is equivalent to the potential threat of it robbing believers with other gods!
Naturally, the escape game system will become an existence that most other gods hate in the short term.
They don't necessarily want to kill it, because most ordinary people still don't want to seek death, but if ordinary people deal with the escape game system next, the other gods probably won't take action to protect it.
There are also relationships between gods. The escape game system is so good at managing, there are many evil gods who know and have good relationships.
Han Qiuwen's actions almost "isolated" the escape game system.
After Ruan Bai understood all this, he couldn't help but be surprised by Han Qiuwen's design.
As she marveled, she clicked on the messages sent to her by other people.
After knowing the biggest incident that happened recently, she finally had a bottom line in her heart, and she was in the mood to think about other things.
Among the messages sent to her by others, there are actually not many really important ones, and the frequent message reminders are mostly because she has been out of contact for too long, and the other party is worried about her accident, so they keep sending her messages, which led to the current situation.
She clicked on the text messages sent by other people in the team, and after filtering out the information that was not particularly important, Ruan Bai listed the remaining information that needed to be considered: First of all, like Gu Buchao, She Xiaoxue The Empress also fell into a weird sleep, and no one could wake her up; secondly, the escape game has stopped absorbing new players since half a month ago; finally, the number of new hosts in the White Lotus Cultivation System has expanded to a thousand people.
Ruan Bai was not particularly surprised by the first two points. She already knew the first point. As for the second point, exposing the behavior of the escape game itself is deliberately restraining the escape game. It will suspend the behavior of absorbing new players, which is also a normal reaction.
It's like she felt that some players fell into a deep sleep. Most likely, the escape game system was responsible for this matter, but they just didn't know what its real purpose was.
As for the last point, Ruan Bai felt very shocked.
How could there be so many hosts in the White Lotus System without knowing it? !
But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it should be almost the same.
It has been more than a year since she made the decision to start expanding the host of the New White Lotus System.
Every white lotus system host can increase the number of new hosts through the two questions of "love and justice". If the expansion is successful, the white lotus system will also reward high points.
In this way, it is passed down from generation to generation, and the online development goes offline, which will naturally expand many people.
There are only 8 people that Ruan Bai personally expands, 7 of them are "confidantes" who she has observed for a long time, specially trained and promoted, and are completely different from other ordinary white lotus system hosts.
After Ruan Bai's one-month investigation, they will be accepted by Ruan Bai and upgraded to internal members, helping Ruan Bai to explore information about Du Wenshu and DSAS company, which are simply out of reach of ordinary white lotus hosts.
After that, the 8 players who continue to develop are under their own control, including the lotus man named Li Bing behind, who was thrown to the other 7 by Ruan Bai.
This is the trick that Ruan Bai and Shen Qingyun learned. After all, the organization needs to be bigger, and she can't do everything.
Of course, if there are high-quality players among those "downlines", she will accept them.
However, most of the new hosts are still newcomers, and quite a few of them have not passed the review and were pulled in to make up the numbers. Other hosts are not sure whether these new hosts will die in the game someday in the future, so they are still following Around Ruan Bai, there are only a few people she recruited at the beginning.
At present, the total number of new hosts has exceeded 1,000, which is indeed good news.
The more people there are, the greater the power of the White Lotus system will be. In the end, if it and the escape game system just get together, the chances of winning will be greater.
It's just that she has to understand the matter of sleeping.
Ruan Bai thought for a while, and first sent a message to Ning Rou, who had entered the same game as them last round, to ask what's going on.
Like Ruan Bai, Ning Rou was not asleep either.
Seeing that Ruan Bai asked a question, she replied quite quickly.
"There are hundreds of people who have fallen into deep sleep," Ning Rou said to Ruan Bai in the text message she sent, "Sister Ruan, you can go to the forum to have a look. A long time ago, players counted the number of people who fell asleep. Within a day of the release of the escape game, they were in a vegetable at the same moment."
"It's not that I haven't guessed whether Xiaoxue and Brother Gu encountered something in the last round of the game, which caused them to fall asleep... But now it seems that this is not the case at all."
Of course, what she didn't say was that some of the escape game players were asleep, which obviously confirmed its authenticity and made many ordinary people believe in its existence.
After Ruan Bai received the reply, he obeyed Ning Rou's words and glanced at the forum hastily.
Now that the forum has been exposed, it means that the mysterious protection energy given to the forum by the escape game system is gone. Although only registered users can post posts, there are quite a few ordinary people who have sneaked in through technical means.
Countless players were discussing the news in full swing, expressing their opinions on it.
Ruan Bai quickly found the post with the highest number of people pinned to the top, clicked on it and glanced at it.
Judging from the number of replies, the number of people who have fallen asleep has reached 700.
This value didn't continue to increase, but at the same time, it didn't decrease either.
After the escape game was announced by those people, did these players fall into a deep sleep
Thinking of this, Ruan Bai slowly narrowed his eyes.
No, she can't let Gu Buchao and She Xiaoxue go on like this!
Their vegetative state is not so much a deep sleep, but a soul trapped by the escape game system.
It has been more than ten days and has not recovered. Every minute and every second in the future may cause a crisis of death.
She had to figure out a way... to get them all out.

I am going to work hard to finish before the internship, and there is probably a small game world to end~
