In a certain respect, Ji Heng and Sur are completely similar and diametrically opposed.
The former is thoughtful, and the latter is also logical, but it does not affect his brain supplementation for the bloody plot at all. At the moment when the side quest was opened, Sur's first reaction was 'What if Jiheng is the key'
Who could have predicted that things were really going in the worst direction, fortunately, the game is limited to make decisions before zero, and mixing time is the best way.
Sur took the tablet away in the name of charging, and guided the player to use the tower clock as a tool to judge the time, and secretly asked the little clay figurine to slow down the pointer.
Everything went unbelievably well.
One second, his attitude was cold and tough, and the next moment he suddenly smiled, and Sur clapped his hands like a kind seal: "Great, there is no way out, everyone can fight side by side again."
In the stillness shrouded in the night, the slowed tower clock began to strike the hour on the hour, a full twelve beats, listening to inexplicable irony.
Zhu Yu spoke to everyone's heart: "Is he the reincarnation of a demon?"
"Let's find a place to avoid first." Jia Kanhua looked at the more arrogant worm eggs in the air and succumbed to reality.
There are no people outside, and their positions are very conspicuous. If they encounter parasites again, it will be quite troublesome.
Sure enough, Sur said, "Go back to the library."
Jia Kanhua's eyes twitched as a reminder: "It's full of bugs, and there's a parasite chasing Xu Yangyang."
Sur was very firm: "Hiding is not the way, we have to get information from Feng Peng's mouth."
Jia Kanhua pressed her eyelids with her fingers to stop the beating: "Why don't you ask for so much time during the day?"
"Not to deal with you?"
While saying that Sur looked at them with 'inexperienced' eyes.
"… ."
The battle lines have no choice but to reunite, and it is not difficult to work together to deal with a parasite. So the group returned to the library, but when they entered, Xu Yangyang had already solved the hidden danger. The office worker fell from a height into a mess of flesh, and the white insect eggs drilled out frantically. He lit his coat and threw it on it.
A few minutes ago, when the game announced that the side quest failed, Xu Yangyang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Now he heard everyone saying that he was going to find the old man, and his face was even more ugly, but it took a lot of effort for him to run downstairs. .
The third floor is the hardest-hit area for worm eggs, and Sur was not sure that he would pass through safely, so he cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Scientist Feng, can we meet for a chat?"
After a minute, nothing appeared.
Not annoyed, Sur smiled slightly, looked at the others and said, "Next, I'm going to tell a little story of helpless love full of age."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was forced to take a few steps back by a cloud of yin energy, and he was about to hit the pillar. Fortunately, Ji Heng pulled it in time.
Feng Peng appeared, and that old face had changed a lot since he met him.
Sur lowered his stance and pretended to be humbly asking for advice: "You haven't told us the specifics of the central plan."
The game will not open side quests for no reason, and it can increase the player's 50% chance of survival, which is enough to prove that this plan can temporarily maintain social order and stability.
He was talking, but Feng Peng squinted at Ji Heng with a complicated expression, while the latter turned his face to the side and aimed at Sur from the corner of his eye.
Princess Camellia looked at the three of them thoughtfully, and tasted a strange atmosphere.
"More than 300 years ago, the planet inhabited by humans was predicted to explode within 50 years." Feng Peng finally opened his mouth and shared a less exciting past.
"In fact, the awareness of living in peace and security has made various countries prepare for migration as early as centuries ago. During the long exploration time, we have only found a planet that is most suitable for survival. The climate, water source, and temperature are all perfect, and there are fly in the ointment. The whole planet is almost covered with bugs."
Nothing unexpected happened. After joining hands to kill the bugs, human beings successfully had a new home.
Xu Yangyang hurriedly said, "Why is this history blank?"
Feng Peng sneered: "How can things like bugs be killed. Before the migration, scientists made the worst prediction. Once bitten, they may die from infection."
Humans are not as good as heaven, and no one would have thought that the true ability of this worm is parasitic.
Xu Yangyang twitched at the corner of his mouth: "This judgment... is a bit hasty!"
Feng Peng: "There's not enough time."
The explosion can happen at any time, and the migration of all human beings is a long process.
Seeing that the old man was getting more and more impatient, Xu Yangyang shut up, not wanting to continue interrupting.
"It didn't take long for the migration to usher in the darkness of nearly half a century. Later, after continuous research, it was found that peach blossoms have a restraining effect on insects," Feng Peng sighed. "After the successful production of the vaccine, I thought things would come to an end."
Many of the details have been omitted. It is said that the research process under special circumstances has subverted human relations, and the in vivo experiment is almost on the bright side.
Sur whispered to himself: "Everything has the ability to evolve."
Feng Peng rarely cast an admiring look at him: "Yes, the insects can't be destroyed, and the ability to revive the parasite will increase each time. Until a few decades ago... a real genius appeared."
Sur noticed that when he said this, his eyes returned to Ji Heng.
"That person's research has always been one step faster than the evolution of worm eggs. He concluded that in thirty years at most, worm eggs will evolve to an unstoppable level."
Sur didn't want to hear the next words intuitively.
"Unfortunately, no matter how talented you are, you can't avoid birth, old age, sickness and death," Feng Peng said slowly: "Because of long-term irregular work and rest, that person became terminally ill at a young age. Kind reminders are regarded as a manifestation of mental decline. At that time, someone proposed..."
"Propose what?"
"Change his body."
Facing the unbelievable gaze, Feng Peng smiled bitterly and said, "You don't understand, because the previous research results are too outstanding, and he is invisible inside as a savior."
Xu Yangyang instantly remembered various sci-fi works about source code, and couldn't help but mention it.
Feng Peng shook his head: "To be exact, it is a human brain transplant technology, transplanting his brain into a young and healthy body."
Hearing this, Sur's heart seemed to be pulled, and his tone was rare and mean: "I'm not afraid of being punished!"
Zhu Yu also sighed: "I have worked hard for scientific research all my life, but I ended up like this when I came."
People are too cold.
"Poor? Not necessarily!" Feng Peng resumed his indifferent tone: "He is even more ruthless. After that, he proposed a 'central plan.' United with authoritative scientists from various countries and issued a report proving that the eggs cannot be conquered. The central plan is the only way out."
When they finally heard the key point, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
Feng Peng's voice trembled a little: "The report points out that if you can't end the eggs, you have to change yourself. The destructive power of insects lies in parasites. As long as there is no body, all problems will be solved."
"… "
Xu Yangyang looked strange: "Isn't this nonsense?"
Instigating the collective suicide of all mankind
Feng Peng looked at him with the eyes of a goldfish.
Only then did Xu Yangyang remember the source code he mentioned a few minutes ago, and whispered, "Anyone with discernment can see that this is revenge."
"On the contrary, knowing that he could not resist the arrangement above, he calmly accepted the brain transplant plan, and explained that it was because of this that he was inspired. Then he cooperated with a group of lunatics to develop a special instrument that allows humans to live in the virtual world in the form of souls. The world. The core of the instrument's operation is called the center, which is equivalent to the 'key', and he voluntarily asked to take this position."
Everyone's attention was focused on the old man, so the picture of Sur drooping his eyes and thinking deeply was not noticed.
At this moment, he wanted to understand a lot of things, no wonder in Ji Heng's memory that Feng Peng wanted to compete for the central position. In addition to having a high self-esteem, he also wanted Ji Heng to be the central position, which was like setting an untimely bomb.
"What happened later?" Seeing that Feng Peng seemed to be caught up in distant memories, Suer asked.
"On the second day after the central plan passed, the memory of the relevant personnel disappeared mysteriously, and so did he."
After that, it was consistent with the information they obtained from the diary. The old man committed suicide to save his memory, and the body was stored in a freezer after his death.
"Wait!" Zhu Yu's pupils trembled, and he pointed at Ji Heng: "He is the key designated for the side quest, doesn't it explain..."
He didn't say the next words, his voice was so sharp that he almost lost his voice, and he looked at Ji Heng with trembling for a long time: "How old are you this year?"
As the leader of returning to the grave, Ji Heng's basic information was not a secret. Although Zhu Yu knew it, he couldn't help but ask again.
Ji Heng was calm and frightening, but he actually answered, "Twenty-seven."
Zhu Yu closed his eyes instantly... Twenty-seven years ago, the initiator of the central plan disappeared, and there was a new baby named Ji Heng in the real world.
No, is that really the real world
If the other party is an aboriginal in the copy, is he the same
Ji Heng said indifferently: "Thinking too much is useless, it is better to think about customs clearance tasks."
Wen Yan Zhu Yu stared at him, trying to see some waves on that face, but failed. He couldn't help but feel a burst of fear. As an ordinary person, even if he didn't collapse when he heard this information, it would be difficult for him to accept it mentally for a while. It was really terrifying that Ji Heng could be so undisturbed.
Xu Yangyang thought further and smirked: "Did we know too much?"
There is always a feeling of being silenced by the game.
Sur raised his eyebrows slightly, the side quests would most likely reveal Ji Heng's identity as an aborigines, but the game was released openly, which is indeed unreasonable.
At this time, Feng Peng finally broke free from his memories and smiled strangely: "If I knew that I could be exposed to higher mysteries after death, I would have ended my life a few years earlier."
Ghosts, rules... Having experienced these first-hand, I knew that I was just a frog in the bottom of the well.
Ji Heng always has a clear goal: "Who was the first to invade this planet?"
Feng Peng was stopped when he was asked, and said speechlessly: "The history of three hundred years ago has long been wiped out. I only know a general idea because of my research, and I have to follow the non-disclosure agreement..." After a pause: "No, that person should know. , he was interested in ancient history."
He said with a low smile: "It's a pity you missed it."
There is a hint between the lines that if Ji Heng agrees to reset as a key, he will know who the original invader was.
Sur suddenly winked at the others, motioning to go outside and let them communicate alone.
·
The night wind is very cold, but people are still confused. When he thinks that the real world may be a virtual world, Zhu Yu can't help shaking.
Xu Yangyang was more worried about the game's silence, and diverted the topic to distract his attention: "I hope Ji Heng can draw some useful clues."
The glass windows shattered when office workers forcibly entered the museum, and from a distance, one can clearly see one person and one ghost confronting each other. I just hope that without outsiders present, Feng Peng will inadvertently leak some information because of his personal grievances.
Inside the library.
It was Princess Camellia who spoke first to break the silence, and his tone was somewhat gloating: "To be honest, only you know who the original invader was. If the central mission is completed, you will restore your memory and live in this place as an aboriginal again. The world, other players can also evacuate safely... Tsk, what a good deal."
"I thought the same way half an hour ago." Ji Heng said lightly.
However, when he saw that Sur was planning to sabotage the side quest, he dismissed the idea. No one has ever been able to do this for himself. It can be said that the other party has given him another meaning to live.
Princess Camellia will never forget it, and of course she remembers Ji Heng's expression at that time. It is obvious that she is very moved. Combined with the words now... some things are even more real.
Really funny and ironic.
"You're heartbroken."
The tone is quite firm.
Ji Heng did not deny it, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes: "Sur is different, he is young and energetic... The decision will never change."
Feng Peng couldn't help but interject: "But don't you love me?"
"… "
Princess Camellia looked horrified... What melon? !
The wrinkles on his face deepened because of his doubts. Feng Peng wondered: "Since you admit that the brain is the sexiest part, why do you like young people now?"
Ji Heng looked at him fixedly: "Because love will disappear."
