Despicable Games [Top]

Wayne raised his glass, took a sip and moistened his throat, "The last time it happened was last month."

"I don't usually play games very much. I was recommended by friends to download them, and I uninstalled after playing with them a few times. So "71" is the same. I haven't logged in since two months ago. Although I can't uninstall it, but It doesn't matter that even a piece of software doesn't take up much memory."

"But just last month, when I came home from get off work and was about to take a shower and have a good sleep, "71" was automatically logged in. I made sure I didn't accidentally touch or do anything, and I just sat down and saw Blurred." Wayne's vision slowly moved away.

Normally, when logging into "71", you first enter the virtual world, and then the player finds a comfortable place to choose a matching game and then enters the preparation interface of "DK".

But that time Wayne went directly into the small dark room of "DK".

"Can't quit?" Jim asked.

Wayne's expression flickered, a little complicated, "You can quit, but it's different from the usual situation."

"If the player doesn't want to match in the preparation room, he can click exit and return to "71". But that time I clicked exit, the system just let me re-match to another room."

Wayne smiled wryly, "I quit several times, and it was always the same. I had no choice but to enter that script."

"After the game ended, I kept thinking about why I suddenly logged into the game. But I still couldn't figure it out."

Jim said, "You said, this is the second time for you? Is the situation the same as last time?"

Wayne raised the corner of his mouth, but he really couldn't smile, "After the last time, I was very concerned. After reading the trial record of the software, I found that the last time I logged in to this game was exactly one month before I was forced to log in. So This time, I have been paying attention to the change of the software "71" two days ago."

"It's another 30 days, and it's also after work at night. Just like last time, I entered "DK" directly, and I couldn't exit the game even after exiting it several times. So I had no choice but to click Prepare."

The needle could be heard, and Kang Wenwen felt something was wrong after Wei En finished speaking.

"71" was originally just a game, and everyone didn't think much about it.But now this game seems to be conscious, able to force people to enter the game, which is no longer a game's authority.

The real living environment, vision, hearing, taste, even touch, and thinking all respond to this virtual world, making it difficult for people to distinguish between real and fake.

But the only real-sense game "DK" is a reasoning game.Why are there always dead people in the game?The corpse appears in front of the player in the most intuitive and direct way without any treatment.Even zombies can do it...

"I suddenly thought of a question." Kang Wenwen was like a primary school student, putting his hands on the table and raising his hands if he had a question.

Jim looked at Kang Wenwen's silly look, turned his head and gave Wayne a look of 'please see you', and then turned his head to look at Kang Wenwen, "What's the problem?"

Kang Wenwen's arms were still raised, "Since the system can be fully set up so that the corpse will appear rigor just like in the real world, will the corpse also rot?"

Given Kang Wenwen's sitting position, he was looking directly at Wayne, but Wayne obviously didn't know the answer to this question, and was looking at Jim as a question.Kang Wenwen also turned to look at Jim.

Jim looked at the two of them, and said slowly, "This... yes."

"It's just that you were matched with the rookie bureau before. The corpses set by the system are all convenient for you to investigate, so the corpses will not be corrupted for several days, but the corpses become more real as you go later. Of course, I haven't seen them either. I have been to very corrupted corpses, and I have heard other people’s stories.”

Kang Wenwen nodded, now that he seemed to be "asleep", he was somewhat resistant. If it was really a real corpse, then he wondered if he would have the courage to examine the corpse.

Seeing Wayne's still frowning brows, Jim remembered to digress.

"Ahem, so you went to the edge of the map to find a way out of the game?" Jim asked.

Wayne nodded, "I've tried various methods, but none of them worked. I can only look around the edge of the map to see if there is a bug or something that made me accidentally escape."

Jim was about to nod when another thought occurred to him. "So, you were late this morning just to hang out in the suburbs?"

Wayne said slowly, "Well, I want to see what will happen if I don't go to the system."

"In the end, my body walked to the scene of the crime uncontrollably. I think it should be controlled by the game system."

"Control your body?!" Jim was shocked.

Even Kang Wenwen's complexion became much heavier.

Although their bodies at the moment are virtual in the game, the movements, expressions and language that control this body are still signals from their own brains.But if this game controls their actions, it means that this game can block the control of their brain nerves over their bodies.

"Did you think clearly when you were controlled to go to the scene?" Jim asked.

Wayne said, "I'm clear. My brain can think, but I can't control my limbs. It's like being pressed by something to move forward, but the touch and other senses are still normal and will be fed back to the brain. "

Wayne's brow remained still, and Jim's frowned again.

"This problem is a bit serious."

"VR is virtual reality, with AR augmented reality added. Logically, it only controls our vision, and this game only stimulates our visual nerves to touch other nerves, so that our five senses can be immersed in the game. But in fact, he can't control our nerves, but what you said is nerve control, doesn't that mean it can take over our brains..." Jim's brows were about to frown into horizontal mountains.

Wayne is not as worried as he is, "But I think it does not 'control' our nerves, just like what you said, "71" fluctuates to other sensory nerves by stimulating the visual nerves, the 'us' in the game Action does not make us act in reality. So the system controls our limbs, which is only our visual response, like a visual illusion, not really blocking the control of the brain nerves on the body."

Jim pondered without saying a word, maybe he didn't agree with Wayne's words or maybe he was thinking.

Kang Wenwen said, "I think what Wayne said makes sense. Senior, you're too sensitive. After all, it's just a game. Why bother to control some nerves? It's not something installed in our brains." Devices. The mobile terminals we use now are all wearable, except for some glasses-type, headband-type, and ear-worn types. Others, like my bracelet, even if it explodes, it will only break my hand. How could it be possible to control the brain nerves?"

Jim nodded indiscriminately, "Well, it's really unrealistic to control the brain from the limbs."

He looked up at Wayne again. Although this person encountered such a thing, he was not flustered and had a clear mind.It seems to be a player with potential.

"Right." Kang Wenwen said with a smile, "So, stop thinking about it and scare yourself."

Even though he said so, Jim always felt a little uncomfortable, like a small stone in his shoe hurt his feet and bothered him.

Jim asked Wayne "So you can't log out of the game now?"

"Yes, the only way out is to end the game." Wayne nodded.

"Hungry, thirsty, can't even go to the toilet?" Kang Wenwen asked in surprise.

Wayne looked at Kang Wenwen with a complicated expression, and nodded slowly.

"Then if you don't solve the case and you can't get out for a day, what if you can't solve the case all the time?"

Jim said, "The game has a time limit. If the murderer is not found within seven days, the real murderer has escaped, and the game fails."

Kang Wenwen lowered his head and calculated, "Seven days, that's only 12 hours. Fortunately, at least I won't starve to death."

Wayne could only shrug his shoulders to express his helplessness.

"I also have some things that I need to understand about the game "71". If it is convenient, let's leave a contact information." Jim said to Wayne.

Wayne didn't care, and sent Jim a friend request with a swipe of his hand.

Jim didn't click 'agree', and moved the interface aside. Jim shook his head at Wayne, "What I want is your contact information in reality."

Kang Wenwen said, "Then you can also add friends first, and then let him send it to you directly."

Jim directly clicked 'decline' this time.

"I don't trust "71" anymore, so I don't want to add friends under the monitoring of the system."

"Huh?..." Wayne was a little confused this time.

Jim took out the paper and pen from the inventory, and handed it to Wayne, "You write your contact information in the real world on it."

Wayne was a little speechless, but still took the pen and paper and wrote down a series of numbers.

Kang Wenwen looked at the numbers on the paper, and then at Jim.I silently rolled my eyes in my heart, so I won't be seen by the system?

Jim read the numbers on it carefully, then carefully put away the paper, and asked Wayne, "What are you going to do now?"

Wayne was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's find the murderer first."

Kang Wenwen hesitated and said, "Then... Jim and I plan to go to the scene again, you?"

Wayne looked up at Jim.

"Let's go together, you don't know everyone's timeline yet, do you? Just talk to you on the way." Jim laughed.

The three of them walked into the garden in front of the villa, and a melodious sound of the piano came.

"Did you hear that?" Jim asked, stopping suddenly.

Kang Wenwen and Wayne turned to look at Jim. Who else would play the piano in James' villa at this time?

Running all the way, the sound of the piano became clearer in the corridor.

"Is this tune 'Beautiful Lady'?" Jim asked.

Kang Wenwen thought about it, "I don't know if it is, but this is the one that James played last night."

The three ran to the door of the piano practice room, but the door was locked.And the sound of the piano still came slowly from behind the door.

Kang Wenwen opened the flower pot at the door of the piano practice room, and the backup key was still there.

But when Kang Wenwen picked up the key and was about to open the door, the sound of the piano stopped.

The lock of the piano practice room needed to be turned twice, and it took less than half a minute for Kang Wenwen to open the door after the sound of the piano stopped.

There was no one in the room except James who was still lying quietly on the ground.

The windows were wide open, and the off-white curtains were blown by the breeze, as if the murderer was waving at Kang Wenwen and the others.

Wayne rushed to the window, turned his head to Jim and Kang Wenwen for a moment and shook his head.

"No one was seen."
