The white coat insisted and said, "What?"
Zhou Wenyan: "Players, and ghosts."
He didn't know which point of the white coat was hit by these two words, and his face was slightly distorted: "It's all because of you!"
Zhou Wenyan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
The white coat gritted his teeth: "If it wasn't for your group of people, our world wouldn't be like this!"
Originally, their world was peaceful and peaceful, and the white coat was just an ordinary scientist.
I don't know from which day, strange people appeared one after another in this world. They had no identity, appeared out of thin air, and called themselves "players".
Where the players appear, there are always weird things happening, such as homicides, serial car accidents, secret room killings, etc. that cannot be explained by science.
Those players will stay here for a while, if they are unlucky, they will die directly and become an unclaimed corpse. If they are lucky, after the time is up, they will disappear out of thin air like when they came.
The players are gone, but those unscientific things have not disappeared. They are entrenched in this city, brutally slaughtering every aboriginal who strayed into it.
The white coat pulled the collar and said coldly, "We don't know how many people it took to keep those things in."
Humans are no match for ghosts.
But the white coat led a group of researchers to figure out a way to trap the ghosts and trap them in this base. In order not to let the players destroy this rare peace, they used some methods to make those players fall into a deep sleep as soon as they entered this world.
As long as the player does not leave the base, the ghosts cannot appear outside again.
The white coat looks like giving up resistance: "I'm done."
Shen Dongqing applauded the venue very much, and then said doubtfully: "Since this will not give birth to ghosts, why are there so many in the base..."
His final sound fell, the shadows around him twisted like a wave, and one by one silhouettes were pulled out of it and surrounded by the white coat.
Those who could not see clearly lowered their heads, stretched out their pale and thin hands, and pointed to the white coats in unison.
The white coat's face turned pale.
At the beginning, this base was established just to protect the aborigines, but when their research deepened and they gradually controlled the power of ghosts, everything began to change.
They were unwilling to just keep the treasures empty. After a dispute, the white coat was elected as the controller of the base, using the ability of the base to study more things.
For example, control the entire world, or take the initiative to invite players to enter this world and conduct some tests.
Wu Jia sighed: "No wonder no players have left this game field."
In the case of mental arithmetic, no wonder the player will fall.
Looking at the proficiency of the white coat, the number of players planted in their hands must be a terrifying number.
White coat: "Is there anything else to ask?"
The short-haired woman whispered, "Quickly ask how to leave this playground."
Their ultimate goal is not to destroy the base and rescue all the players, but to leave the game field.
The white coat heard the short-haired woman's words, and sneered: "No player can leave from here..." He swept over the people present, "Even if you are the same."
Shen Dongqing shook his head: "It's different."
White coat: "What's the difference?"
Shen Dongqing clenched his fists and said, "We can beat you, can others?"
The white coat froze: "Are you threatening me?"
Shen Dongqing spread his hands: "It's just telling the truth."
The white coat is even more bachelor: "I really don't know how to leave."
The NPCs in each game field will not directly tell the players how to clear the level. Maybe they don't know, or they can't tell because of the rules of the game.
However, it is impossible for ordinary players to threaten NPCs to tell them how to clear the game, and the rules of the game are only for people who are not good at playing the game.
Yes, it was Shen Dongqing.
Shen Dongqing scratched his head, not knowing what to do, and looked at Zhou Wenyan for help.
Zhou Wenyan didn't ask how to clear the customs, but asked an irrelevant question: "How did the 'strongest weapon' released before come about?"
The white coat swore that he never wanted to hear the words "strongest weapon" again, but under Zhou Wenyan's gaze, he could only honestly say, "It was exiled from another world."
Zhou Wenyan: "Other worlds?"
Thinking that this is not a big deal, the white coat said directly: "I have studied a lot of players and know that you are constantly traveling in various worlds, that is, the game field. We are also a game field here, and that ghost is another game. Came here."
"It appeared on the day the base was built."
In fact, this world should have been an ordinary game field, and it was only D or C rank at the beginning.
However, because a group of researchers headed by white coats discovered the essence of the world, this game field gained the ability to evolve. They absorbed the abilities of players and grew step by step into an S-level game copy.
It sounds reasonable too.
When the base was built, the playground evolved spontaneously, and the game might have lost control for a moment, so an NPC from another world escaped into it.
When the upgrade and maintenance of the game field is completed, the game will make a mistake when it discovers this, and will directly arrange it as the boss of this world.
White coat: "I said everything I know, please let me go. We are all victims of the game, there is no need to kill each other..."
Zhou Wenyan didn't make a statement, but said, "The last question."
The attitude of the white coat is excellent: "You ask, you ask."
Zhou Wenyan: "Is your surname Chen?"
The white coat shook his head: "My surname is not Chen." He pointed to his chest, where there was a name tag.
Zhou Wenyan: "Is there anyone named Chen at the base?"
The white coat pondered for a moment: "It seems that there is no person surnamed Chen, let alone..." If there is such a person, I am afraid he is already dead.
Zhou Wenyan nodded: "Let's go."
He has almost asked.
The short-haired girl muttered in her heart.
After asking for a long time, why didn't I ask anything useful
She hesitated for a while, but decided to follow in the footsteps of the boss and leave the safe house.
After the group left, the white coat breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter, if there are no researchers, you can recruit again, if there are no ghosts, you can recreate, and everything can take your time...
Thinking like this, the white coat turned around to control the sweeping robot to clean up the mess.
But as soon as he turned around, he met a pale face.
Those wandering spirits around the white coats floated forward, crowding the safe house.
This is the person who died during the experiment. There are players and aboriginal people. They stared at the executioner and let out horrific laughter.
"what-"
After a short scream, the base fell into a dead silence again.
The base covers a huge area.
It took a lot of effort to get in, and it took a lot of time to get out. The group walked around, not in a hurry to go out, but went to the laboratory where the players were staying.
Even if the control personnel of the base are gone, the mechanical facilities still follow the settings and operate meticulously.
The nutrition cabins are neatly arranged. The small one is just like a coffin. There are sleeping players lying in each cabin. Each nutrition cabin is connected to a display screen. Look at the ECG curve above, which represents the player's state. good.
The short-haired woman said: "I can't wake up, I tried it."
Presumably they prefer virtual worlds to brutal games.
Wu Jia lifted a lid and tried it.
The player lying inside is a little girl, with a ruddy face and a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if something happy happened. The fake world is so beautiful that she doesn't respond to outside stimuli.
Wu Jia closed the lid again: "It can't be saved."
These players are not only eliminated from this batch, but also from the previous batch. In the game's list, they are already "dead".
And even if they could wake up, they wouldn't want to go back and continue the endless game.
Zhou Wenyan: "Then let them stay here."
He walked to the console, pressed a series of buttons on it, and set the base to shut down other facilities and provide resources for this laboratory alone, so that it can operate for at least another sixty years without maintenance.
"Sixty years." Wu Jia said, "Maybe we won't live that long."
The short-haired woman gave him a white look: "Crow's mouth."
Wu Jia made a zipper action for his mouth, and it took a while before he dared to speak: "But we haven't found a way out yet."
Even if the entire base is bombed, the game will not judge them to clear the level.
Zhou Wenyan pressed the OK button, turned around and said, "Look outside the base."
According to the white coat, there is a city outside the base. The players should have been put into the city outside, but they were intercepted by the base halfway.
Then there's a good chance the clue is outside, not inside the base.
Zhou Wenyan walked off the console and didn't see Shen Dongqing for a while. After looking around, he found that he was squatting in the corner with something in his hand, and he was having a good time.
Shen Dongqing felt Zhou Wenyan's gaze, raised his head and smiled at him, and raised the thing in his hand: "I caught this."
It was a dark mass, long, and vaguely human-like, with chains wrapped around its limbs.
After it was caught, it struggled frantically, but no matter what, it was easily suppressed by Shen Dongqing. After losing it twice, it could only give up the struggle and kept its head down and motionless.
Wu Jia said tentatively, "The strongest weapon?"
The "strongest weapon" is beyond love.
It originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape quietly, but with bad luck, it bumped back into Shen Dongqing's hands.
Shen Dongqing pinched one of its feet, dangling in the air, he said to Zhou Wenyan, "I want to keep it."
Sombra almost cried.
Don't, ancestor, it still wants to live for a few more years.
Zhou Wenyan: "It's too ugly."
What pet do you want? It's enough to have him.
Shen Dongqing looked down.
Hmm... that's really ugly.
He threw it on the ground and gave up the idea of keeping a pet: "Then don't."
The ghost figure was relieved, it landed on all fours and moved on the floor tiles, trying to get away from Shen Dongqing, but before it could climb out two steps, it was trampled again.
Zhou Wenyan lowered his head: "Which game field did you come from?"
The ghost shivered and couldn't even speak clearly: "This, this..."
Zhou Wenyan: "Can't tell?"
Ghost Shadow nodded and shook his head again.
Shen Dongqing followed closely: "Don't tell me?"
The ghost looked at this and then at that, and almost cried with fright. It sniffled and said, "Can you give me a breather?"
Shen Dongqing asked strangely: "Aren't you dead? Do you still need to catch your breath?"
Ghost:…
Do ghosts have no human rights
After a while, Ghost Shadow said honestly, "I'm from a ghost town."
ghost town.
Isn't this the place Shen Dongqing saw before
As soon as Shen Dongqing heard the interest, he reached out and poked at the ghost: "How to go to the ghost town?"
Ghost Shadow: "When the gate of ghosts is wide open, it's just that gates of ghosts are opened every 30 game days."
The time calculation in the game is different from the outside, and it is also very confusing.
Maybe seven days have passed in the game copy, and only one minute has passed outside, or it may have been a day in the game copy, and a month has passed outside.
So the game simply set a game day, no matter how the players' time calculation is, it will be calculated directly according to the lowest-level dungeon.
The lowest-level dungeon will be put into the player every once in a while, which is equivalent to a game day for the NPCs inside.
So Ghost Town opens once every 30 game days, that is...
Shen Dongqing folded his fingers for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he just asked Ghost Shadow directly.
How many days are thirty game days
Ghost Shadow doesn't seem to have a very high IQ, and asks in a daze: "How do I know?"
Shen Dongqing stared at it with big eyes.
Ghost Shadow seemed to think of something and said, "If it's you, you can enter the ghost town when the time is up, but it's almost time to start..."
Shen Dongqing stretched out a finger to point at himself: "Me?"
Ghost Shadow nodded: "Yes."
Shen Dongqing: "You know me?"
Ghost Ying opened his mouth and wanted to answer his question, but there seemed to be a force that was blocking it, preventing it from being able to speak. After a long time, it can only say: "You will know when you reach the ghost town."
Shen Dongqing didn't have much thirst for knowledge about his true identity, so he waved his hand: "You can go."
The ghosts screeched away.
Wu Jia suddenly said, "Wait."
The ghost's movements stopped.
Wu Jia said, "With so many players still here, is this ghost... not very safe?"
Shen Dongqing said without any burden: "Then let it be destroyed by humanity."
Ghost Shadow's face was so frightened that he quickly said that he was very safe and would never secretly eat players!
It is very sincere, striving to be a good ghost in the new era with positive thinking, and will never harm anyone! Not to eat people!
Shen Dongqing patted its shoulder and encouraged: "Very good."
This was the first time he had encountered a ghost with such a high level of consciousness. Those ghosts in the past had nothing to do. They didn't study how to harm people and how to be a ghost.
Whether you are a man or a ghost, you must have a goal!
He looked at the ghost with admiration: "Then you stay here, and when ghosts come in the future, teach them how to be ghosts."
For the rest of his life after the ghost catastrophe, he couldn't help nodding his head: "I must be a good ghost..."
The two players next to him felt that the world was a little unreal.
Why did you suddenly jump to the ideological and moral class
After saying goodbye to the tearful ghost, the group set out to find their way out of the base.
This base is so huge that it almost calls itself a small world, with all the facilities in it, an ordinary person can live a lifetime without leaving the base.
After searching for a long time, they couldn't find an exit, and with the things they had just experienced, everyone was exhausted.
A group of people are tired and hungry, so let's just go and fill our stomachs first.
The cafeteria at the base is semi-mechanized, and even if no one is there to operate it, the AI prepares a sumptuous lunch according to the program.
The players discussed how to get out of here while eating.
Wu Jia said, "I would have asked the white coat if I knew it earlier."
Short-haired woman: "Now that everyone is dead, it's too late."
Wu Jia is optimistic: "There is food and drink here, and you won't die of starvation. No matter how bad it is, we will lie down in the nutrition cabin and live for another 60 years."
Zhou Wenyan threw a piece of bread at him: "Promising."
Wu Jia grabbed the bread and gnawed it: "Anyway, I'm thinking that I should be inseparable from the game in this life. It's not easy to live until now. It's good to be optimistic."
Shen Dongqing said vaguely: "I'm also quite optimistic."
Wu Jia lost his voice.
Are you optimistic? Almost tore up the bosses and NPCs in the game field.
The other players are all being played by the game, Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan are just playing games together, nothing compares to it.
Shen Dongqing picked up a piece of cream cake and took a bite. After the sweet taste melted in his mouth, he suddenly said, "I seem to know where the exit is."
Wu Jia responded the fastest: "Where?"
Shen Dongqing pointed.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a sign "Safety Exit" on the wall, and it was still glowing with green light.
Wu Jia didn't even care about eating, so he hurriedly stood up: "Let's go and have a look."
Shen Dongqing wiped out the cream cake in two bites, picked up a box of fried chicken, and followed. After walking for two steps, he turned his head back again, picked up a bottle of Coke and held it in his arms.
His arms were so full of food that he couldn't even walk, for fear that the fried chicken would fall off.
Zhou Wenyan waited for a while, seeing his cautious appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and walked over to help share a part.
Go out along the intersection pointed by the safe passage, turn a few corners, and come to a small door.
This is probably the place where food is delivered. As soon as the door is opened, there is a small road outside, with barren grass on both sides of the road.
A gust of sand blew.
Shen Dongqing's first reaction was to protect the fried chicken in his arms, and Zhou Wenyan, who was standing beside him, stretched out his hand to block his eyes to prevent sand from getting in.
After the sand blows, players find that they are on the edge of a city, and the base is below the city.
There are row upon row of urban buildings, ranging from high-rise office buildings to low-rise apartments and villas.
Just looking at the appearance, this city is located in a high-tech world, but it is too desolate. There is no one on the road, and it is quiet.
Wu Jia looked at the sun and estimated the time: "It should be noon now."
It stands to reason that there are always a few passersby showing up.
But this city is like an empty city. The shops on the street seem to be lively and lively, but in fact there is not even a shadow inside.
Shen Dongqing: "Not even a single person."
With his simple and rude style, of course, he wanted to find someone to ask, but he didn't expect that there was no one here.
Zhou Wenyan walked into a convenience store, where all kinds of goods were neatly displayed on the shelves. The TV hanging on the wall was still on, but there were no channels to broadcast, just blisters of snow.
He picked up the items on the shelf and found the production date. These items were over a year old, and no one was dealing with them at all.
Combined with what the white coat said, this city should have become a dead city.
Zhou Wenyan put down his things and walked out: "Let's go shopping first."
In addition to no people, this city is still a modern city with schools, shopping malls, and entertainment facilities.
Walking down the road, no clues were found. The fried chicken bucket in Shen Dongqing's arms was only chicken bones.
Holding the empty fried chicken bucket, he walked over to the trash can and threw it in. He was about to turn around and walked back when he turned around, not knowing what he had stepped on, and made a sound.
Shen Dongqing looked away, and there was a piece of paper lying underneath, with a footprint brightly printed on it. He maintained the good quality of picking up the garbage on the ground, bent down to pick it up, and was about to roll it up and throw it away when he caught a glimpse of a familiar sign above.
Shen Dongqing stopped and unfolded the half-rolled paper.
This is a job posting. It's been a while since it was posted. After the wind and rain, the edges are dark yellow.

Shen Dongqing: "I seem to have found a clue!"
A group of people pondered around the job posting.
Wu Jia: "I didn't expect the recruitment procedures to be quite complete."
The short-haired woman pointed to the post above and said, "The first two are fine, but the last 'volunteer' looks strange."
Wu Jia's heart froze: "Isn't it just those experimental subjects?"
Shen Dongqing: "Just call and ask."
He took out his mobile phone, pressed the phone number on it, and dialed it.
The appearance of this phone number one after another means that this must be the key to customs clearance.
But before in the fake world, there was no call, and now players are very concerned about whether they can make a call.
"beep-"
This time, there was no prompt that it was an empty number. After three rings, the call was connected.
Players stared nervously at their phone screens.
The other end of the phone was dead silent, not even a breath.
It can be seen on the screen that it is indeed displayed that it is connected.
Time passed minute by minute.
Afraid of disturbing the person on the opposite side, Wu Jiasheng gestured with his mouth: "What's going on?"
The short-haired girl shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
Shen Dongqing didn't worry so much, he got impatient waiting, picked up the phone, and said loudly, "Are there? Talk to me."
