The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

"You don't need to open the other doors. We already know what's inside." Xiaohong said, "Room 0 should be where the master computer is located."

I swallowed the non-existent saliva, took a deep breath, and walked forward.

The pure white corridor creates an illusion of space for people, and it is much longer to walk in reality. Passing the unchanging white walls and doors, I feel as if I am in the screen saver interface of an old-fashioned windows player. The world is just a mechanical geometry. and endless repetition.To prevent accidents, we walked very slowly, so that while passing through the doors, we could still hear the voices coming from the house.Most of those voices are crazy, crying, moaning, screaming, or laughing, some are hazy, some are sharp, it is really not a pleasant experience.

Finally, we came to the door of room 0, but unfortunately time was running out—we were forcibly pulled back to the cobblestone room at the beginning of the game.Presumably when we came to the fourth floor of the factory, we had already unlocked the conditions for obtaining the chapter treasure chest.It's just that when the game signal ended, I just took off the earphones and was dragged into another space.

It's a place I've never been, or even say, that I'm not sure there's such a place on the entire planet.

In front of me was a bottomless, bright and hot funnel-shaped pit. The area at the top of the funnel was at least larger than a football field, and the flames at the bottom were blazing. A fiery red dragon.The crimson sand on the wall of the funnel melted into magma, and the rocks were on fire. How could the rocks be on fire!

I looked down at my feet—a fire belt nearly three meters wide was burning in the groove on the edge of the funnel. The burning feeling baked my cheeks, and I felt like my hair would be curled up.

I moved my leg subconsciously, but accidentally stepped on a loose rock, and all the debris under my feet slipped out and fell into the fire——I lost my center of gravity for a moment, and I was about to fall into the magma pit up.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" I roared in the hot wind, "Save-life-ah!"

However, I didn't fall in. Looking back, Zhai Qi was standing behind me, holding my collar: "Stop barking."

"Master—brother!"

Zhai Qi's ears moved, and he took me a few steps back: "Don't yell, don't yell, it's too noisy."

"What place is this!" I screamed, "Did we enter another game, why did you change back to your original appearance!"

Zhai Qi said: "What game, this is my spiritual realm."

Surprised, I finally calmed down and looked around, Bian Yao and Brother Yue were indeed there, looking around calmly.I looked around, and it turned out that we were standing in a place similar to a crater, surrounded by boundless wilderness.The heat wave gushed out from the crater, and soon condensed into a biting wind and whizzed away.Above the head is the blood-colored night sky, under the feet is black volcanic ash, and in the distance is the vast Gobi, barely growing some shrubs.

Curiously, I picked up a stone—it was as light as plastic, and it was full of air holes, probably caused by the rapid cooling after a large amount of gas escaped during the volcanic eruption.

I was pleasantly surprised: "Bian Yao, quickly pick up a stone to play with, it's so light and amazing!"

Bian Yao looked at me speechlessly, I couldn't get used to his old man's appearance, so I threw a stone at him - it hit him lightly, and he rolled away.Brother Yue at the side rolled up his sleeves uncomfortably, exposing his strong arms, and said, "It's so hot, can you turn on the air conditioner."

Arctic wolves and firebirds really can't survive in the same environment - but that's fine, too many beasts in one area will definitely fight.

Zhai Qi sighed impatiently, raised his leg and took a step forward. The moment his footsteps fell, the surrounding environment changed instantly.

The scorching air no longer bakes my face, as if someone has taken away the nearby stove.I lowered my head and brushed off the volcanic ash with my shoes—the black sand became finer, almost like black sesame powder.All the large and small stones disappeared. I looked up and was surprised to find that there was a sea of ​​ice crystals in front of me.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" I rushed all the way, "What is this? Ice cubes? What a big ice cube! Is this Iceland, brother? Is there a snow hot spring I want to play!"

"Stop playing, unorganized and disciplined." Zhai Qi shook his hand, and the tens of meters I ran was mercilessly shortened by him-I seemed to be advancing in vain on a volcanic ash treadmill, shining on the black sand The ice on the beach was getting farther and farther away. I gave up struggling and stared at him plaintively.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Brother Yue asked.

Zhai Qi nodded: "It's safer to speak here. I found something in the game just now, just when I lost San."

"Oh? What is it."

"I'm sure that the other party is a capable person. He tried to control me, but I grabbed the rope of the spiritual connection with my backhand-I know who the other party is and where he is." Zhai Qi said.

I opened my mouth halfway, and didn't even know where to ask, but Brother Yue nodded after thinking for a moment, "I see."

Know what?

After thinking about it for a long time, I asked, "Uh, so you fell san? Are you uncomfortable?"

Zhai Qi shook his head: "I think the other party may have lost san."

My pupils dilated and I stared at him in horror, all was silent.

"Just kidding!" Zhai Qi said, "How could I do such a thing to let the other party find me on purpose!"

I laughed and said, "Hehe, because it really looks like something you would do."

"So Brother Yue, what are you going to do?" Bian Yao asked, walking to my side.The palm of my hand was cold, I opened it and was surprised to find that Bian Yao stuffed a piece of ice crystal in my hand.

Um?When did he pick it up secretly?

I quietly looked at this shiny and heavy block of ice—at a closer look, the ice crystal had so many facets, as if a big local diamond was reflecting the light.And although it's icy cold in the hand, it won't melt at all.It would be great if I could take it away, I will secretly put it in my spiritual realm, under that tree.

Brother Yue looked at us and asked, "Do you want to finish the game?"

I raised my head in astonishment: "Gah?"

"It's this game, it should be cleared soon, do you want to finish the plot? The one who cleans up the SIP after the plot." Brother Yue asked.

I didn't quite understand what he meant, and said in a daze, "Uh, is it okay?"

"It's ok," Brother Yue said indifferently, "There are ways."

Opening day in three days.

Although it was late at night, we were driving on the highway at high speed.The driver in front was Mr. Qin, and I, Bian Yao and Brother Yue sat in the back seat.This is an extended car with a lot of space. It not only has a luxurious interior, but also comes with a freezer and a table. It can even be used for two people to sit opposite each other like a train seat, which has refreshed my understanding of the poor.Zhai Qi didn't join in - after sharing the information he had about the other party with Brother Yue, he declared that the old man had to go to bed first.

About half an hour before leaving the group, we turned off the highway and picked up a tall and thin man at the gas station on the side of the road.Fan Wujiu bent down and got into the car, and sat opposite Bian Yao—Bian Midi arranged this seat on purpose, and ruthlessly drove me away who was sitting there.

After Fan Wujiu greeted us, he turned his head and glanced at Brother Yue: "Leave all the work to me, and you play games with the children every day? Do you know how much mess the old man surnamed Sun left me after committing suicide."

"What's the matter, I'm also working, and I sacrificed my rest time." Brother Yue said, "Today is the last time to start a group. I'm afraid you will feel lonely, so I will take you to play once."

Fan Wujiu snorted and said, "Thank you, you nocturnal creatures, brought Xiao Zou to stay up late with you."

"Brother Fan, I'm fine!" I said, "I haven't seen you recently, are you busy? You want to ask you to accompany us to do this... Obviously, Bian Yao and I took over the commission."

"No, this time is a teaching level." Fan Wujiu winked at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked blankly.

"Stupid, haven't you been unable to control the golden Jiao scissor after the ban has been lifted? Brother Fan is here to cooperate with Brother Yue and show you how the spirit body and the art body work together." Bian Yao said, "This kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime, you Still fooling around there."

I straightened my back: "Oh! Oh!"

"Your mobile phones have been processed, and a mirror environment has been made to simulate false content and fed back to that monitoring app. Zhai Qi... that is, Bi Fang's account. I brought it over for you to use. His player profile is I'm a big fool, as long as I maintain this image, I won't be able to pass through." Brother Yue explained, "Besides, the person behind the scenes, the other party's attributes are mind control, and their own abilities are not too strong. They need to cooperate for a long time, Intensive brainwashing and hypnosis can exert the greatest effect."

Fan Wujiu flipped through the log records of our previous running group with his fingers, and quickly became familiar with the rules. Hearing this, he looked at him from above the glasses: "Does it mean...?"

"Very weak." Brother Yue said.

Fan Wujiu looked away, and nodded indifferently.

I don't understand the confidence of the boss.

There was still a little time before the game time started, Fan Wujiu loosened his neckline, and leaned back on the chair with a relaxed expression.He opened the mini wine cabinet by his legs, took out a bottle of bourbon, and took out a glass.Brother Yue squinted at him and said calmly, "There are no more ice cubes."

Fan Wujiu paused, reluctantly put the bourbon back, and took out a bottle of red wine. Brother Yue broke the stage again: "The corkscrew was not brought up."

Fan Wujiu feigned anger and said, "Are you targeting me? What kind of red wine do you put without a corkscrew?"

"I didn't let it go, whoever is a drunkard will let it go." Brother Yue said coldly - his appearance is a bit similar to Chu Huaixing's expressionless dog face.

"Does Brother Fan like to drink?" I asked cautiously.

Immediately in my mind, under the blurred night, the gentle and elegant Fan Ge was sitting at the bar of a high-end bar, shaking a glass of whiskey with ice in his hand.Seemingly seeing what I was thinking, Brother Yue said: "Don't imagine how wonderful it is, he is a drunkard."

Before that, I only met Brother Fan at home, or met him during breakfast in the morning. He was probably busy at other times, so I never paid attention to such things.He stared at the wine cabinet unwillingly, and looked at us boredly, then suddenly smiled and said, "Have you ever seen Xiao Yao drink?"

Bian Yao was alert for a moment: "Brother Fan!"

I wondered curiously, "No, what's the matter?"

Brother Yue seemed to have thought of something, hooked the corners of his mouth, pointed to Fan Wujiu and said, "This guy framed Xiaoyao to drink his Irish coffee, but he added a lot of wine to it, and Xiaoyao got drunk. It was a few years ago." , Xiao Yao was still young at that time."

"It's Jamaican coffee, and what's added is rum, not whiskey." Fan Wujiu made a meaningless excuse, saying: "It's really bad for drinking, and it's really fun when you're drunk."

Bian Yao said louder: "Brother Fan!"

I looked at him with great interest: "What will happen? Are you crazy? Can you still sing and dance? Can you cry?"

"No, no, no, it's from the fraternity school." Fan Ge said, "Pull us and keep telling us how much you love us so much, Huai Xing is completely dumbfounded."

I laughed like crazy: "Is that you, Bian Yao? Is that the arrogant and awkward Bian Yao? Hahahaha! Brother Fan, open a bottle of wine, I want to see."

"Don't open it!" Bian Yao said angrily, "Don't talk about it in the future!"

Before we could get Bian Yao drunk, the game time was up.In the back of the smooth-moving carriage, we put on our full gaming gear.

After entering the game, we returned to the part where we paused last time as usual, which is the end of the pure white corridor on the fourth floor of the chip factory.I looked at the "Room 0" in front of me, and suddenly remembered what was waiting for us behind the door, and my cheerful mood dissipated a little.But Xiaohong had already stepped forward and swiped her employee card by the door, but was told that she could not enter because of insufficient authority.

He turned around: "Little hacker, come to electronics."

I went forward and passed a test, the door opened, and we entered this so-called "0" room.

The oncoming is pure white again. There are no windows or decorations in this square room. In the center of the room is a lighted booth with an old iPhone connected to the socket.

"This is iPhone 1." Xiao Hei, who is now Brother Fan, said.

I took a step forward and tried to observe the device carefully, only to find that the thing filled in the middle of the screen frame turned out to be a brain—not the delicate slice we were familiar with before, this brain was compressed into this in an extremely rough way In an iPhone 1, the brain tissue is all squeezed together.Just as I felt a physical aversion to the situation, iphone1 made a sound.

"I'm Steve Jobs."

We were all silent, with big question marks popping up in our little heads.

Jack said, "Oh, it's Gates."

I:"……"

iPhone1 made a sound: "Oh, Gates, Gates' brain should live next door to mine soon."

"Damn it, this mod is so distorted." Tie Zhu said in shock, "How much do you hate Apple? I'm really not afraid of a lawyer's letter warning."

Jack said, "Don't talk nonsense, old Joe, just tell me what you know."

Jobs' brain: "October 2011, 10, from the moment of my death, my brain and consciousness were no longer under my control. I began to be researched as a prototype device. Eventually, I became the first to successfully develop brain-based smartphone."

"Studied by who?" Jack asked.

Jobs' brain: "Being, an evil, inhuman race. My employees, the equipment I developed and designed, and everything about me have been infiltrated by this evil race..."

Probably Yog-Sothoth or something, I think.Ask again: "What is the prototype device?"

Jobs' brain: "Prototype equipment, also known as 'shared human body', is like... a quick product like shared bicycles. Different consciousness bodies can be implanted in the prototype equipment, and then controlled and commanded by the company remotely , let them recycle those brain providers who agreed to the terms of use. I only know that the first batch of prototypes at the beginning of the design were not satisfactory, so they were eliminated and discarded in the sewer where they could not receive the signal."

"Damn! I know what's going on." Zhao Yingjun shouted, "Because we accepted the usage regulations, we were treated as recycling objects, and we were constantly attacked by those lunatics and mobile brain monsters."

Jobs' brain: "I just want you to destroy my brain, if you can, destroy the brains in all these rooms. Then we can have real death, not this, can't be shut down, and can't rest in peace."

Ruthless flower boy Jack: "Okay, I will, do you know any other information?"

Jobs' brain: "We can never die, even if we turn off the computer, even if we restore the factory settings, our death is gone, I just long for someone to 'kill' and 'destroy' me forever. That's all That's all, that's all..."

Jack raised his head and said indifferently, "I don't think he can say anything else."

"As a more advanced Apple Hei, shouldn't he be killed and let him continue to live like this?" Xiao Hei asked.

"Come on," I said, "that's too bad."

But Jack said: "It makes sense. If you kill him and trigger some other mechanism, it will be bad. Find Shen Jing first."

"This way." Xiaohong said, "There is a door here."

Following the direction of Xiaohong's voice, I saw a door at the end of this pure white room - because the edge of the door was almost perfectly fitted, and there were no decorations or marks on it, which led to us who were attracted by the iPhone1 booth I couldn't see it for a while.I went up and found that there was no electronic lock or combination lock on it, but a simple wrench lock, which was easy to open from the outside.

"This is it, a physical lock that can only be opened from the outside." I took a breath and asked, "Open it?"

"Yes, it's the head iron." Jack said, "Have you seen the psycho-measurement person? I have a hunch that it will be Bainaohui."

"Get ready." Tie Zhu closed his eyes, as if unwilling to look.

Xiao Hei held the wrench in his hand and pushed down hard, and with the crisp sound of the mechanism sliding and snapping, the door opened.

Having seen brain cans under the Apple store, I thought I couldn't see anything more disgusting than that, but I still underestimated the good intentions of the modders.Inside the huge room, there are countless off-white spheres with wrinkled surfaces. Those spheres have undergone some kind of treatment, and the surface exudes a gel-like luster.They are connected together by many wires and cables, but these wires and cables grow fine and dense nerve lines, like capillary-like tentacles, densely covering all the pipelines.

The gray-white brains trembled and twitched in a weird rhythm like a heartbeat, as if they were beating some kind of silent drumbeat.

"Ouch—" Someone's uncontrollable nausea came from beside me.

I looked around, and suddenly found that the walls of the room are actually spliced ​​by countless small monitors, and each screen has a group of human-shaped shadows, and those shadows seem to be struggling, screaming, roaring, or struggling Tapping the screen, but there is still only a dead silence around, except for the pulsating frequency of the gelatinous brain.

All the connecting lines between the screen and the gel-like brain are finally gathered in one place, that is, the exquisite and unusual transparent box erected on the top of the room-the box houses a human brain filled with various electronic components. It is beautiful, bright in color, and can even be regarded as vibrant, just like the ingenious work of the creator.A line of words was written on the nameplate in front of the transparent container: Mastermind, Shen Jing.

KP's voice sounded after a long absence: "All staff sancheck, 1D4/1D10."

KP: "Jack Lee passed the san value check, deducting 1D4 = 2 points of san."

KP: "Xiaohong passed the san value test, and deducted 1D4 = 3 points of san."

KP: "Zhao Yingjun failed the san value check, deducting 1D10 = 6 points of san. Because the player deducted a large amount of sanity points in a short period of time, it induced the symptoms of madness. The symptom is amnesia. Within 6 rounds, he couldn't remember why he appeared here, and he couldn't Trust anyone around you."

KP: "Xiao Hei passed the san value test, deducting 1D4 = 2 points of san."

KP: "The iron pillar san value test failed, deduct 1D10 = 3 san points."

KP：“张乔治san值检定失败，扣除1D10=5点san，由于玩家短时间之内扣除大量理智值，诱发疯狂症状。症状为1D10=3轮时长的心理性失明。”

As soon as the voice fell, my eyes suddenly became dark, and I couldn't see anything.

It's late today, but it's full of weight (profiteer's face)

Brother’s spiritual realm is probably a combination of Turkmenistan’s Gate of Hell + Volcanic Landform + Iceland’s Black Beach!

By the way, what kind of animal is Brother Fan? He is a good friend of Dionysus (Greece)~
