Looking at his destroyed mobile phone over there, after a moment of silence, the deceased Zero spoke.
"Although Zhuge Yun says he deserves a beating, he still has some personal strength. Although the voice sounds similar to his, I don't think it is his voice."
"Sounds can indeed be disguised, what else?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"There is nothing dangerous stored here."
The deceased Zero raised his head and looked at him.
"Now that a large-scale battle mission is being held in Binhai City, the other world has enveloped the entire Binhai City. There can't be any outrageous rumors here, let alone any talk of destroying the world... Is it a bad joke?"
Looking back at the two ice sculptures in the room, the deceased Zero couldn't help but frowned fiercely.
"But if two innocent people are involved because of a so-called joke..."
"Then let's use the elimination method."
Bai Zhi shrugged slightly, with a noncommittal look on his face.
"First of all, someone did die in front of us, and the body also underwent strange changes. Secondly, a voice suspected to be Zhuge Yun appeared on your phone, and issued us a task to prevent that thing in the research institute from escaping. …Wait, if you put it like this…”
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he turned around and glanced behind him. Bai Zhi's expression suddenly looked a little subtle.
"What did you think of?"
Seeing Bai Zi's movements in front of him, the deceased Ling couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
"I did think of something... By the way, let me ask you a question."
Bai Zhi snapped his fingers and looked at the girl beside him.
"You brought me here today. In addition to these so-called qualification reviews, you also want to conquer the game... Have you ever conquered that game?"
"Game... no."
After thinking for a moment, the deceased Zero shook his head.
"When I returned to this city, it happened to be that the large-scale battle mission was about to start. At that time, it was not time to start [the game]. Although I had some understanding of the game, I actually didn't know much about it. .Due to the special nature of my work, I haven’t been here a few times.”
"Yeah?"
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi, who vaguely guessed something, asked the girl in front of him.
"Then the second question, how many times have you beaten that Zhuge Yun... or how many times have you hacked that guy to death?"
"Can not remember."
It seemed that he really tried hard to think about it. After a moment, the deceased Ling shook his head.
"However, the number of times I hacked the opponent to death probably added up to hundreds of times, so that I later formed a conditioned reflex. When I saw him appearing in front of me, I would subconsciously draw the knife... What's wrong? "
"...It's nothing, but we were probably tricked by that guy this time."
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi seemed slightly speechless.
"Based on the information available so far, we are probably in the [game] you mentioned... Probably after you hacked the opponent to death in the elevator, we have already entered the [game] Among them."
"Have we entered the [game]?"
After listening to Bai Zhi's words, the deceased Ling couldn't help being stunned.
"Didn't you say it before? As the person in charge of the game, you can make changes to the [game] itself to a certain extent. That's what that guy did."
Bai Zhi curled his lips.
"In order to ensure that we wouldn't be suspicious immediately, the guy changed the background texture, replaced the character model, and even took on related dubbing work... You are right, that guy really deserves a beating, really It’s because I’m full and have nothing to do, so I’m in a panic.”
"..."
After being very silent in his heart for a while, the deceased Ling had to admit that what Bai Zhi said did make sense.
If they had really been unknowingly pulled into the game in the elevator from that time on, then all the questions from that time to now would have a completely reasonable answer.
"... If you want to leave the game, there are only two ways. One is to leave the game through natural death, and the other is to completely conquer the game."
After a moment of silence, the deceased Zero spoke.
"Those who have complete and detailed strategies for this game are all put together in the archives... With the complete and detailed strategies, the time to clear the game is two to four hours. Without the strategies, , it takes more than ten hours to clear the game.”
"Ten hours? Don't worry, it won't take that long. Just hurry up and get it done in an hour."
With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi turned around and looked at the archives room behind him.
"Based on the information we have so far, the content and plot of this game are quite clear. A research institute containing severely dangerous items suddenly went out of control. The director of the research institute had no choice but to close down the entire research institute before he died. So. What we have to do is to survive in the research institute that has become more dangerous, and find a way to deal with the thing that escaped... I think the thing that escaped, which is said to be able to destroy the entire world, should be [model] because]."
“…[meme]?”
"Yes, this is something more dangerous than ghost stories, and it has a very powerful propagation effect. If that ghost thing escapes from this research room, it will be easy and enjoyable to destroy the world..."
Reaching out and touching his chin, Bai Zhi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
The so-called memes are somewhat similar to genes. They are generally effects with genetic laws. However, genes inherit blood, while memes spread information.
The so-called information here is all kinds of strange. It can be a cold, a sentence, or even a supernatural phenomenon that violates the laws of physics.
For example, the meme "The clown is actually me" that was widely circulated on the Internet a few days ago can actually be called a meme, but this kind of purely informational meme is not harmful in any way.
But for a meme that is harmful to humans, it is no exaggeration to say that if they are not effectively contained and contained in the early stages... they can easily destroy a world.
Good morning_(:з ∠)_q
Volume One: The Gap between Imagination and Reality: Chapter 536 Chapter 528: Simple and Rough Way to Clear Levels
Memes are something that can be said to be simple, but can be said to be complex.
Most of the memes that are harmful to humans have some kind of supernatural power. They are more like a wildly spreading virus than a curse.
Any object may become their medium, a video tape, a painting, a piece of text...or a dream.
If there is no effective containment and control in the early stages of a memetic outbreak, the number of infected people will rise rapidly at an exponential explosive growth rate.
"So you're infected with the meme?"
After thinking for a moment, the deceased Ling frowned.
"Is watching any screen the way this unknown meme is infected? If so... "
"Almost, although I don't feel much right now... let's go, let's go somewhere else."
After closing the door of the archives room smoothly, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked at the deceased Ling.
"In order to fit the reality, the map of this game has been changed. Although you have only been here a few times, you should know where the core area is, right?"
"… what are you planning to do?"
After raising his head and looking at the signs on the road, the deceased Ling took the initiative to ask Bai Zhi.
"Under the premise of having a perfect strategy, it will take at least 2 to 3 hours to conquer this game. Now we don't have any strategy. What are you going to do? Anyway, finish the game within an hour. It’s unlikely, right?”
"Who says it's impossible? People have come up with the methods. As long as we find a way to blow up this research institute."
Bai Zhi gave the other party a strange look, and then answered in a matter-of-fact manner.
"...Are you serious?"
He stopped and turned his head to look at someone beside him. The corners of the deceased Zero's eyes twitched slightly.
"The game map has been magically modified, and we are obviously being targeted. Under this situation, I am not sure whether the key clues to pass the level have been hidden. I don't want to be in this situation without Waste more time on meaningful things.”
Faced with the strange look from the girl next to him, Bai Zhi shrugged slightly, with an unconcerned look on his face.
"And besides, this is just a game independent of the world. Our goal is to escape from here, not to save the world in the virtual background set by this game."
"...I thought you would want to be a hero."
After a moment of silence, the corners of his mouth seemed to slightly curve upward. The deceased Zero turned around and walked in front, leading the way with his back to him.
"Hero? Then you really misunderstand me deeply."
Pouring his lips, the black pistol slipped into his hand, and while following behind the girl in front of him, Bai Zhi answered lazily.
"In fact, there are existences like so-called heroes. The moment you want to be a hero, you have already lost the qualification to become a hero."
"...You didn't think like that before."
The deceased Zero looked back at him.
"The me before is the me before, but not the me now. What do my thoughts in the past have to do with my thoughts now?"
Bai Zhi raised his hand and fired a few shots to blow away the screens at the intersections in front of him. Bai Zhi had a noncommittal look on his face.
"People must learn to look forward."
"...Well, so you have to pay for my cell phone."
After a moment of silence, the deceased Ling who was walking in front nodded as if nothing had happened.
“… Look forward, not money.”
"It's very inconvenient not to have a mobile phone. Others can't contact me at all, so it's best to ask for it in the afternoon."
"no… "
"Let's go, aren't we in a hurry?"
"..."
The situation in the entire base...or the entire research institute was far worse than Bai Zhi imagined.
In a sealed and airtight area, the leakage of unknown memes has seriously affected the operation of this research institute.
Although Bai Zhi wanted to study the functions of this meme, even though he was very sure that he should have been infected with the meme, he had no sense of it himself, so he had to learn from the research institute. among those other people looking for answers.
From the perspective of communication method, this meme is spread through screens. Whether it is a mobile phone screen, a computer screen, a TV screen or those big screens, everything that can be called a screen is the carrier of this meme.
As long as a human looks at those screens, a picture of his past will appear on the screen. The infected person will have strange hallucinations, and his body will begin to be eaten bit by bit by some invisible thing. At the same time, It will mechanically repeat the last thing it did before losing control of its body.
Then, their bodies will be eaten away, and their whole bodies will burst like exploding balloons.
The stronger the infected person's mental strength, that is to say, his will, the lower the extent to which he will be affected.
This meme spreads very quickly. Bai Zhi and the deceased Zero have already seen more than a hundred infected people in the research institute along the way.
According to the original game plot mode, the two of them will be infected by the meme, and then rely on the player's strong mental power to search for relevant clues to solve the infection on their bodies, while finding the meme. This is the most complete set of strategies for clearing the game.
It's just that due to the existence of Bai Zhi, there was a slight accident in the game process...
Twenty minutes later, along with a series of deafening explosions that affected the entire institute, a series of information appeared in front of Bai Zhi and the deceased Ling.
[Game? Out of Control Research Institute Strategy Completed]
[Time spent on game guide: 32 minutes.]
[This game strategy evaluation: C]
[Achievements achieved in this game: Explosive Mania, Alternative Ending, Destroyer, Quick Pass.]
[The player gains 2000 experience points.]
[Players receive x3 game-produced props.]
A moment later, when the string of information that appeared in front of them faded, the scenery around them also changed, and they reappeared in the elevator.
With a soft ding, the elevator door opened in front of him, and Zhuge Yun's figure with a strange expression appeared at the door of the elevator.
"Congratulations, you passed successfully... Damn it, why don't you listen to me until I finish my words!!"
Seeing a girl with short black hair in front of him reach out and lift the knife without saying a word, Zhuge Yun's face suddenly turned green.
"To tell you the truth, I have tolerated you for a long time. If you dare to chop me again, I will go and beat up your boyfriend every day!! You have to think about it. He has such thin skin and tender flesh. He can't stand it." Raise my fist!!"
Bai Zhi: "..."
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 537 Chapter 529: Unexpected Disaster and Beauty Disaster
"Ah... I haven't seen him for so long, and that guy is still so unkind..."
With a wet towel on his forehead, Zhuge Yun lay on the sofa in a paralyzed manner.
—Just five minutes ago, he suffered a brutal one-sided beating from No. 1 of an ATM machine.
