Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

For a game, what connection do you need to maintain with the outside world?

Xu Bei is by no means a professional game practitioner.Furthermore, the games of this era seem to be different from those on Earth back then.

According to some information he got from NE, in this era, most of the game production has been handed over to the game mastermind, and the game company's planners, artists, designers, etc. are basically responsible for some overall planning work.

In other words, since most of the work has been handed over to the game mastermind, the key port for the game to communicate with the outside world is naturally also with the mastermind.

Updating the port already means that the game company has managed and controlled the game.

On the player's side, the two ports of logging in and logging out also mean that they have all the connections with the game.

Xu Beijin also has a live broadcast port here.He thought, yes, this should also be regarded as a port, a communication channel between the game and the outside world, which he has always ignored... But this port is not that important, it is just incidental.

Even, this can be said to be a part of the management port of the main brain, which exists attached to the management port, rather than independent.

Finally, he thought, the management port of the main brain...is it really the control panel in front of him?

He thinks NE has transferred authority to him.However, the permissions in the game do not seem to represent the connection between the game and the outside world.

In other words, I'm afraid that port is still at the NE on the top floor of the narrow building, not the control panel brought down by Xu Beijin.

Xu Beijin fell into deep thought.

Ringo propped his chin and looked at him, quietly waiting for the result of his thinking.

At this moment, a feeling of extreme confusion took over Xu Beijin's mind.He was thinking about a question that made him hesitant and hard to come to a conclusion: Could it be that if NE didn't stand on the side of humans, would they really have no way to escape from the narrow building?

Not necessarily so in theory.

According to Xu Beijin's thinking, these humans came in as players after all.They cannot go offline because the NE closes the port through which they go offline.

If NE falls into hibernation or other abnormal states within a short period of time, players can of course go offline.

In other words, the management port plus the logout port can theoretically take human players offline.

Although it is useless to go offline directly like this.The place where they are located in the outside world must be a place strictly guarded by the Fieka tribe. They must have foreign aid before they can escape successfully.

That's why Xu Beijin found the Milton family through Ole.

But his plan still needs a very appropriate timing.

The Miltons have indeed been opposed to the Fiekas for a long time, and some of their compatriots were captured by the Fiekas.

Therefore, the Milton tribe is willing to save their compatriots under the opportunity provided by Xu Beijin, and they can also save human beings by the way.

The key lies in this "opportunity".

Milton and Fieka have been hostile for so long, and neither side has invaded each other's base camp, because their respective life forms are very special, especially Fieka.

The Fjekas live on the web.Most of the planets they own are just to provide energy for their lives, while the remaining small part is for the survival of those affiliated races.

In other words, how can the Miltons attack the Fiekas' network?

This sounds like an incredible thing.It was a virtual war, and they were evenly matched, and neither could break the other's protective net.

And Xu Beijin's idea was to attack from the inside.He intends to use several data ports of the game "Escape from the Sky" and use NE's authority to break through the network of the Fieka tribe from the inside - at least to plunge them into chaos.

But now they're stuck on a very important step - the data port.

He needs enough ports so that the attack he wants will work.These ports are like passages one after another inside the Fieka tribe, and with NE's identity as a disguise, the Fieka tribe will not suspect it.

NE is a safe and internal member recognized by the network center of the Fieka tribe, and a [-]-year-old boy who has gained trust and can be used by Xu Beijin.

But now, Xu Beijin is missing one of the most important ports.

He looked at the shimmering control panel.

Then he said affirmatively, "No, it's definitely not...it can't be. There's no way NE would let us get the management port that easily...it must know what I'm trying to do.

"NE didn't stop me when I asked Ole. I thought it changed its position, but... no, it's impossible.

It definitely knew what I wanted to do...but it didn't think it was possible to do what I wanted to do, so it didn't stop me.

"This is the result calculated by its program..."

Xu Beijin murmured.

Seeing that his expression was particularly restless and restless, Lingo asked, "Bei Jin, what's wrong?"

Xu Beijin looked at Lin Po, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Maybe I still have to go to the top floor of the narrow building. I have to find NE...I have to compete with it for the management port of this game."

"Snatch?" Ringo was a little surprised and a little strange, "But... I remember, you said that you are also NE?"

Xu Beijin once told him about his identity in this game and everything that happened in the past.

Xu Beijin couldn't clearly point out the difference between himself and NE.

Xu Beijin, NE, and Se, the three of them once merged into one at a certain moment.

Although afterwards, NE won an overall victory and eliminated Xu Beijin.

But Xu Beijin did, at a certain moment, become NE.It was that moment that gave him so much information and pushed him to save his fellow humans at this time.

Xu Beijin was startled, and subconsciously said: "Yes, I have been a NE..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

He had been NE... no, he was NE.

One body with two sides.The cruelty of artificial intelligence and human emotion.

Xu Beijin does not have the authority of NE, nor does he have the management port of NE, but he is indeed NE.

That's who he is in this game.No piece of data will deny it.

So, if there is any way to transfer the authority and management port of NE to him?

In this game, in this ultimate nightmare, in this...in the game design and planning of their compatriots...they have a way out.

Because this artificial intelligence has a human brain.

Xu Beijin suddenly trembled.

Ringo looked at him in bewilderment, somewhat worried.

But Xu Beijin yelled, "I understand!"

He leaned over and hugged Ringo vigorously, kissing his lovely little apple passionately on the face and lips, and sighed sincerely: "Little Apple, you are so smart!"

Lin Po just felt baffled, he looked at Xu Beijin worriedly, and suspected that something was wrong with Xu Beijin's mind.

Xu Bei could see his confusion, but he didn't explain much.He got close to Ringo, and his mood slowly returned to calm.

Ringo could feel his warm body and warm breath, which made him a little ready to move.

But Xu Beijin said puzzledly: "We are saved, Little Apple. Everything is waiting for their actions in the ultimate nightmare."

Ringo: "..."

He ground his molars and thought, yeah, just wait for the actions of those guys.

To the surprise of Mu Jiashi and others, when they knocked on the door, a hoarse "come in" came from the third operating room.

In other words, there were actually people in the third operating room!

Almost instantly, Mu Jiashi's back was soaked in cold sweat.

Shen Yunju whispered: "Could he have heard our conversation?"

Mu Jiashi pondered for a moment, and then said: "I'm more curious, is this person a setting of the game itself, or... a human being?"

"I don't even know how many NPCs there are in this game." Shen Yunju couldn't help complaining, "Even, are there any NPCs?"

Mu Jiashi took a look at Shen Yunju, thinking that in this hospital, Shen Yunju's personality is indeed much more outgoing.

Maybe this is Shen Yunju's true character on Earth?After entering this game, everyone has been changed by the narrow building...at least Mu Jiashi has been completely changed.

He couldn't help sighing, but there was no time for him to sigh more.He opened the door and looked towards the third operating room.

It no longer looked like an operating room, although it was indeed called that.

Now, it seems that this place has been transformed into a... more like an office, but there is still a small room separated from the inside of the room.

Mu Jiashi glanced at it, then thought to himself, it was like an ICU ward.

No, wait, there is indeed someone lying there.

Before Mu Jiashi had time to think about it, the man who was alone in this room said to them, "Good afternoon. What can I do?"

Mu Jiashi looked at him.

This is a man in his twenties, the first thing that impresses him the most is his shocking thinness and exhaustion.

He looked very, very thin, like he was going to pass out any second.

There was something like a computer in front of him.His hands were on the computer keyboard.

Beside him is a semicircular, upside-down transparent glass container.

Mu Jiashi looked at the man, and then at the person lying in the isolation ward not far away.

The man seemed to understand the purpose of Mu Jiashi's visit. He said, "I'm sorry...that's my twin brother. He's sick. I heard that there are medical facilities here, so I brought him here."

The man leaned back tiredly and rubbed his eyes.Mu Jiashi noticed that his eyes were bloodshot.The man rubbed his wrist uncomfortably.

Then he said, "Are you doctors in this hospital?"

"We just heard about what you are doing." A crazy idea appeared in Mu Jiashi's mind, "You are writing an artificial intelligence program, aren't you?"

The man seemed a little shocked, he was dumb for a moment, and then said: "Yes. This is my doctoral graduation project, but...how did you know? Oh...I remembered."

His voice was sluggish, hoarse and tired, as if his brain was slowing down with his body's exhaustion.

He said: "I remember ... I remember someone approached me before. Said that the artificial intelligence I was writing could be used to do something ... but I didn't think it was necessary.

"The world is very chaotic now, and I haven't finished this work yet. I have to take care of my brother, and I don't have time to take care of other people...

Really, I'm not a cold person, and I want others to live.

"But, my brother is dying."

He looked towards the ward.

The three taskers looked at each other, and then they also looked at the past in unison.

Lying in the ward was a person who looked similar to the man in front of them, and that person had the same exhausted, thin, and lethargic lifelessness.Like his twin brother said, he was going to die.

Mu Jiashi realized that this might be a long conversation, but fortunately, they seemed to have found the right person.

Mu Jiashi took the initiative to ask, "What's your name?"

"Liang Xingyi." The man said, "My brother's name is Liang Zhiyi. Knowledge and action are one."

"Good name." Mu Jiashi praised dryly, and then immediately turned the topic to serious things, "So, how long have you and your brother been here?"

"How long... I don't remember. Maybe a month or two."

Hearing this, Mu Jiashi couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

One or two months.

In Ultimate Nightmare, normal times don't work like this.They may have jumped from the time when the madness spread to the time when the sky fire came into the world within an hour or two.

In other words, Liang Xingyi is very likely to be a rare NPC in this game.

There are indeed very few NPCs in the game "Escape from Heaven".In some nightmares, those lifeless, seemingly insignificant passer-by characters look like NPCs, but maybe they are still playing soy sauce there.

Previously, the taskers didn't know the existence of the cosplayer, so they were just guessing.

——Speaking of which, is it because a certain planner of the game company mixed his own imagination into the confrontation between the camps of human players such as taskers and players?Otherwise, why do you have to do it?

It's always impossible because you want as many human players in the game as possible?

The fewer NPCs the better?Must the game accommodate enough human players?

But what's the point?

Mu Jiashi's train of thought turned a corner unconsciously, and then quickly converged.He continued to look at Liang Xingyi, thinking that he still couldn't just confirm it like this.

What if Liang Xingyi just got lost in this nightmare?

But in the end, whether Liang Xingyi was an NPC or a human didn't seem to be that important to what they were learning.

On the side, because of Mu Jiashi's long silence, Shen Yunju had already consciously asked the next question: "How do you live here?"

"My brother doesn't need any living supplies." Liang Xingyi said frankly, "so some things left in the hospital are enough for him. As for me, I will go out for an hour every morning to find food and living supplies. Then come back.

"In addition to taking care of my brother and looking for supplies, I am basically completing my graduation project...

Although, in the current situation, no one knows whether I can get my doctorate, but...

"But this is always one thing. I think I should do something. Otherwise, it is a very desperate thing to keep thinking about what happened outside and whether human beings can be saved."

As he spoke, Liang Xingyi's voice became hoarse, and he pinched his fingers uneasily, looking a little dull and dull.

Mu Jiashi came back to his senses, listened quietly to Liang Xingyi's words, and then asked, "Don't you find this kind of life boring?"

"No, no. I'm serious. Even though it's just me and my brother here...

Of course it's a bit lonely. I am very happy to meet you today and to have a few words with you.

"But...it's not boring. My brother keeps saying that I'm a dead-headed idiot, and I can't deny that. I really...I'm always living in my own world.

"As for my brother...my parents passed away very early. In fact, my brother has been taking care of me. I'm a nerd, I'm not very good at being a person, I'm not very good at communicating with other people, but...but my brother no the same.

"He didn't want to go to school, so he worked for me to go to school. Later, I won some scholarships, some competitions or other awards, and met great mentors... Our life gradually improved.

"Then my brother fell ill. I was preparing for my doctoral graduation project, and the hospital called me and said that my brother fell ill. He passed out on the side of the road, and a kind person passing by called an ambulance.

"That was the day the madness started to creep in."

Liang Xingyi's voice suddenly stopped, as if the word "crazy" reminded him of something else.He was silent for a moment.

Taking this opportunity, Mu Jiashi looked around at his two companions, and saw the same doubts and hesitation in their eyes as expected.

This sentiment is for Liang Xingyi, not him.

Liang Xingyi looked very normal, but a little tired.This exhaustion may just be that his body can no longer support this kind of life.

He seemed quite sober and reasonable.

But is that really the case?

Leaving aside the question of why Liang Xingyi took his brother to a mental hospital, Mu Jiashi had a very bad feeling about the semicircular transparent container that was turned upside down next to Liang Xingyi's computer.

Liang Xingyi said that he and his elder brother depended on each other for life.And now, he is developing an artificial intelligence, and someone even came to him and said that this artificial intelligence can be used in some things that are beneficial to human beings.

Sounds a lot like Narrow Building's artificial intelligence.

Is Liang Xingyi really still awake?Wasn't he infected by that madness?However, this hospital itself is full of crazy scenes.

After entering the hospital, the three experienced taskers all involuntarily experienced violent mood swings. According to Liang Xingyi, he had been here for a month or two, so he really didn't Influenced in the slightest?

Mu Jiashi couldn't believe this.

In front of him, Liang Xingyi, who had fallen into a brief silence because he mentioned the day his brother had an accident, began to speak again.

This time, his tone changed subtly: "I actually always knew something was wrong with his body. He always felt tired, but he hoped I wouldn't worry about him.

"How could I not worry about him, he is my only relative. In this world... there is no closer relationship than us. He is my half body, my elder brother.

"So I ... when I found out he was in the hospital, I really felt ... I hope he's had a good rest for a while.

Don't be as tired as before, I've grown up... besides, we are both the same age.

"And then... I don't know. The world changed in an instant. Madness spread all over the world, and it was the same around me and my brother.

The hospital where my brother used to be was quickly filled with lunatics and people who were hurt by lunatics.

"I was terrified. At that time my brother couldn't get sick and couldn't wake up. They said my brother had a very rare disease... terminally ill.

I can't save it.I don't really believe it, because at that time...my brother's EEG still responded.

"He's more vegetative than brain-dead. He's alive, it's just that he can't wake up and talk to me, but he can hear what I'm saying to him.

"The doctor said there was no hope of treatment. But I still don't believe it. It was such a chaotic period...

Obviously the social order has collapsed, but there are still many places where money is needed.I... I was too poor at that time, so I took my brother out of the hospital.

"But that's not a good thing. My brother still needs to receive professional recuperation and care in a professional ward.

I learned a little bit by myself... Time passed slowly, and my brother still didn't wake up.

"I'm still working on my graduation project. And then... that thing in the sky. The world is changed again, this time for the worse.

"Things that could be bought with money in the past can no longer be bought. We can only fight and grab them. At this time, I heard about this place, this hospital.

"I know that they used to do experiments here, and they also found some experimental materials here.

But I just valued that this place has complete medical supplies.

"When I came here, all the original people here have been transferred. I found some people to help transform this operating room..."

Shen Yunju couldn't help asking: "Why do you have to renovate this operating room?"

There are so many wards in this hospital, there must always be one that is more comfortable, brighter and warmer than the room they are in now, but Liang Xingyi chose this one.

It is shady, damp, and it is obvious that the blood and lives of countless people have been left behind.

Why did you choose this operating room?

Liang Xingyi was at a loss for a moment, and then asked, "What do you mean, you have to renovate this operating room?"

Shen Yunju glanced at Mu Jiashi, and then said, "There are many wards in this hospital, why did you choose this one?"

However, Liang Xingyi kept repeating the previous question: "What do you mean, must be reformed?"

The three taskers sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so they all remained silent.Shen Yunju did not continue to ask this question.

Liang Xingyi seemed to believe that his remodeling of the operating room was justified, so he thought Shen Yunju's question was unreasonable, so he drilled into the corner of the matter, repeating and asking rhetorical questions.

Liang Xing asked again and again: "What do you mean, must be reformed?"

There was silence in the operating room.

Afterwards, Mu Jiashi said: "He means, what have you added to this operating room?"

Liang Xingyi asked dully: "Is that so?" Without waiting for Shen Yunju and Mu Jiashi to say anything, Liang Xingyi continued, "I brought my own computer, a hospital bed for my brother to rest, and... "container". "

"container?"

"Yes..." Liang Xingyi stroked the semicircular glass container with his hand, "The container that holds my brother's brain."

Although it had been expected, Mu Jiashi still felt a chill rising from behind at that moment.
