The male god lives in the tower

"It seems that she is really a good girl." Nan Lesheng stroked Li Lan's hair and said, "But you can't like her."

Li Lan subconsciously denied: "I don't, it's not like."

Nan Lesheng sighed: "I know. But there is not only one kind of liking. Li Lan, you have a good impression of a person, speak for her, don't want to hurt her, want to protect her, this is the embodiment of liking."

Li Lan shook her head.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement. Could it be that if a person doesn't like others, he can't speak for others and protect others?Humans shouldn't help each other?

But in this world, in this tower, most strangers will not help each other.

But because of this, he has all the more reason to help others.

Perhaps if he helps others a little more, others will have more will to help others actively.

"Is there no other way for us? Can't we make her give up this idea without killing her, anyone, or hurting others?" Li Lan asked, but no one answered him.

As Li Lan saw, the dungeon they lived in was just like the world outside the tower, a human society full of problems.The ants in the box will not abide by self-discipline because they are in the box. Human beings are human beings, and they have the same structure, the same thinking, and the same code of conduct wherever they go.

This seems like a perfect unsolvable copy.

Several people couldn't find a solution at once, so they could only temporarily discuss a set of countermeasures: Li Lan went back to class, Zhou Xie, Yizheng and Jiang Sheng stayed in the hospital, Nan Lesheng He Min and Liu Liu went to the outside world to check the situation, Jiang Sheng and Wu Tuo went out Find supplies and do support work.

Li Lan who returned to the campus was very confused. He wanted to meet Zhao Keke, but he felt that he didn't have the courage. He was afraid of seeing her torn apart. What will happen to extreme selflessness.

After being anxious for a week, he still decided to go and see Zhao Keke.

In any case, evasion is not a good way.

He called Nan Lesheng and told him what he thought. He thought that Nan Lesheng would object, but he didn't expect Nan Lesheng to say "I'll send someone to pick you up". Li Lan was taken aback.

"I have entered the research institute, and now I am one of their research subjects." Nan Lesheng also had a playful smile on the phone, "I told them that Zhao Keke helped us recover, and they let me in."

Nan Lesheng showed off another trick.Li Lan didn't need it, he was Zhao Keke's emergency contact person, and he could see him whenever he wanted.Nan Lesheng didn't know about this, otherwise he would say that Li Lan was timid.

Two armed men in special police uniforms drove to the school. Li Lan was carrying a small bag containing some of Zhao Keke's favorite food. He seemed to be visiting a patient, and he could only prepare as if he was visiting a patient.

After getting into the car, a special police officer in black sat beside him.Li Lan was uncomfortable, so he moved to the side.

The research institute is outside the city, and it takes four hours to drive.Li Lan leaned against the glass, wanting to sleep for a while, but the man in black beside him took a step ahead of him and snored loudly.

Li Lan couldn't sleep, he was listening to the radio in the car, his mind was full of things, but he heard the man in black in the front seat say: "... Please listen to No.20 No. [-]'s speech. It's like this every time This bullshit show doesn't have refreshes."

refresh?

Li Lan frowned.

"What refresh? Is the program always the same?" Li Lan asked.

"No, no, there are two radio stations in our city. It's just that the producer likes to be lazy and plays the same content every time. I've listened to it no less than two hundred times... Hey, don't worry about it." The man in black Said to himself.

Li Lan blinked.Two hundred times the same program content?This production team is so lazy?

The team members in black drove all the way out of the city. The research institute was in a relatively remote place. The two team members got out of the car and went to have lunch.Among the lush trees, they were the only ones parked in this small service station.Li Lan looked at the distant blue sky and white clouds, thinking about what she needed to do after seeing Nan Lesheng.

The jellyfish in the hand pocket was changed to a bigger glass tank, but it was obvious that this tank was almost unable to hold it.

Li Lan got out of the car, walked to the road sign, and looked at the guide sign.The research institute they are going to extends to the left, and there is no road on the right, only endless mountains and forests.Li Lan looked into the depths of the forest. He saw the high mountains behind the forest. There was a road there, but there was a sign at the intersection saying "construction in the distance".

The road design of the dungeon is very peculiar. They came out of the city and turned a big bend outside the city. Li Lan had a good sense of direction. He found that the research institute seemed to be on the opposite corner of the original stone house.

This discovery brought a strange feeling in his heart.What was wrong, he couldn't tell at this time.

After the two team members in black finished their meal, they brought Li Lan two steamed buns. Although Li Lan had no appetite, she still stuffed them into her stomach.They drove for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the institute when it was dark.

Li Lan got off the car, and two team members in black led him into the research institute one after the other.One of them drove for three hours and yawned from exhaustion. Li Lan wanted to ask him how the others were doing, but the man waved to him: "Don't ask me, I don't know. Go in by yourself Find someone, I'm going back to sleep, and I have to take you back tomorrow."

Li Lan felt that he seemed very impatient.I'm tired of listening to the song, tired of driving, and I feel impatient even taking him back and forth... This man looks like a fool, not a special police officer at all.

The man put his hands in his hip pockets and whistled at the passing female researcher.

So Li Lan looked at another team member beside him, expressing doubts with his eyes.

"Look at me, I don't know. He was just transferred last month, and I don't have his resume." The black team member said.

"Resume? Are you a contract employee?" Li Lan asked.The man nodded and stopped answering.

The doubts in Li Lan's heart became more and more intense. He walked to the research institute and walked around, seeing a lot of strange things like visiting a museum.When he arrived at Zhao Keke's area, there were more people immediately. He passed one researcher after another. Zhao Keke was in the innermost isolation room.

"You wait here, I'll go to the person in charge to get the key." The special police officer who brought him lifted his hat, turned and walked to the next room.

Before he took two steps, there was a violent and arrogant explosion in the room.Thick smoke kept coming out of a room, and the researchers in white coats hurriedly rushed out. They ran to the passage in disgrace. Seeing that something was wrong, the special police in black rushed in and fished out a braided, wearing A woman in a white coat with black-rimmed glasses.

With an apologetic smile on her face, she said to the others, "I'm sorry... I added something wrong again."

"Director, how many times is this the first time? Can you have a snack?" Someone beside Li Lan complained.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry, but those two elements have exactly the same color, and it's normal to make a mistake..." said the braided woman.

"It's not normal at all, okay? Their formulas, analysis methods, and storage methods are completely different. How did you make a mistake?" Others agreed one after another, and some angrily patted the table.

"I see, well, I won't operate casually next time. Keep working, everyone, finish at eight o'clock." The person in charge persuaded them kindly for a while, and ignored them.

Li Lan frowned, completely confused.

"You are Li Lan? Zhao Keke is inside." The person in charge finally came over. She took out a magnetic card from her waist and went to the door of the room to swipe it.

She turned her head and smiled, and said: "You guys have a good chat, I'm in the laboratory, come to me if you have anything to do, the experiment in hand can't be finished in a while, although I don't understand it very well... "

The person in charge went out with a sad face.

Li Lan also looked worried. He didn't understand what was going on with the person in charge.He stood at the door and glanced at the black-clothed policeman again.The other party also had a sad expression on his face. After staring at her for a long time, he couldn't help but said: "Actually... the person in charge just came here last month. Her professional ability is really messed up. I really doubt that she has never learned professional knowledge... "

Li Lan finally understood the problem here.

The radio station that keeps broadcasting the same program, the police officer who looks like a rogue, is obviously not like the head of the researcher.

They seem to be forced into their roles, and there is a strong sense of alienation in them.

These characters are just too casual.

Li Lan's heart was surging, and she took a few steps inside.As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhao Keke lying on the operating table, under the spotlight, with mutilated limbs.

Zhao Keke stared at the ceiling motionlessly, wondering what he was thinking.Li Lan walked over to touch her hair, but Zhao Keke didn't respond.Li Lan looked aside, only then did she discover the drip inserted into her blood vessel.

Zhao Keke stared blankly at the ceiling, apparently in a state of anesthesia.The person in charge also said "have a good chat", what the hell are you talking about?She can't even speak!

Li Lan saw that Zhao Keke's body was recovering in a mess, and more than a part was missing. Anger surged up. He held the operating table with both hands and suppressed his inner impulse. He wanted to take Zhao Keke away.

She's human, she's real.She deserves to walk in the sun, have her own smile, and have her own direction, instead of becoming a speechless puppet for some shit research.

Even if it is to help humans, it should be done in another way.

Li Lan covered her body with a sheet and went out, thinking about what to do.

He had an idea in his mind, a terrifying one, and it was also the limit of his current brain power.

What those "airborne characters" did made him suspect that these characters were not native to the copy.They may have appeared here by accident, and they couldn't fit their own script well.

Since they can mess around at will, it stands to reason that all characters can produce similar OOC effects (Out of Character, character collapse) to a certain extent.

He wants to start with these characters and find a way to save Zhao Keke.

The person in charge is a very careless guy.Li Lan easily stole the port key from her, which was the magnetic card she had been dangling in front of everyone before.

Li Lan pretended to be well-behaved, with a harmless face, avoided the police officers who might recognize him in the research institute, and moved quickly to the data storage room.

The information of the personnel department is also here. He opened the door and entered the room. Facing the densely packed cabinets, he took a deep breath and began to search for them one by one.

There is also a trick to finding the cabinets. Although the cabinets are only marked with English letters, and almost all the cabinets are locked, it does not mean that he cannot see the contents of the cabinet.

Li Lan took out a small knife, pulled out a long and thin metal wire that she carried with her, picked a piece of flesh from her fingertip, and stuck it on the wire.

He took out the flashlight, passed the metal wire through the keyhole, moved it left and right, and then activated his ability [fingertip wormhole].

Since the condition for the wormhole to be initiated is to appear above any skin on the fingertip, Li Lan can make the wormhole appear in front of the skin at the other end of the wire.

At this time, Li Lan suddenly discovered that her wormhole, which was originally only the size of a BB bomb, had grown slightly larger.It's now about the size of a half a dime.

Regardless of his joy, he turned on the flashlight, let the light beam shoot into the wormhole, and used the wormhole at the other end to look inside the illuminated cabinet.

"The first research room plan...not this." He quickly pulled out the wire, walked to another cabinet, and continued to do the same thing.

After looking at eight cabinets in a row, he finally found the correct row.He bent the metal wire into the shape corresponding to the lock cylinder, opened the cabinet door, took out the materials of the characters in the research institute, put them on the ground, and browsed quickly.

Soon, he found the resumes of the SWAT team members and the person in charge.

They were indeed airborne, and as he thought, these people only had instructions after joining the job, and before that, they were all blank.

Although Li Lan wasn't smart enough, she wasn't too stupid either.He knew one thing, an important thing about dungeons: the scripts of plot dungeons were written very early, even if new characters were added later, the scripts would not change.

Then, these characters without previous data must have been added to the dungeon later.

He closed the document and stood up from the ground.He knew what he was going to do next, but he wasn't sure about it.

He had to find a way to find out the reason and method of joining the dungeon from the characters who joined later.This is a conjecture that is difficult to reverse. Li Lan is going to start with the way they are controlled by the copy, and find out a way to help Zhao Keke get rid of the control of the copy.

But this method is not feasible to a certain extent. What if the original personality of these people is to let them do things that do not match their positions?Or, they have long forgotten how to enter the dungeon and be controlled by the dungeon?Then the road ends here.

However, Li Lan just saw a line on their resumes, so he decided to take a gamble and give it a try.

There are three bright characters written on the resumes of these two people: Temporary workers.It is marked with a red pen, as if it is a dungeon reminder.

Li Lan decided to ask about the temporary workers.He carefully escaped from the research institute and walked towards the guard's dormitory. He was holding his own weapon, a Japanese Wakizawa, in his hand.This is a short knife, which was originally used by Japanese samurai to commit seppuku, but Li Lan chose it as his personal weapon.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the time, maybe it contained some kind of metaphor, and it was his own thought.

Now, it's just a handy dagger.

The guards’ dormitory was unguarded, probably because the guards didn’t stay here often, and the dormitory was not big. It was a three-story building. Five people stayed in the dormitory tonight, and the rest were in the research institute.

Li Lan swiped her card to enter the door, and when she arrived in the dormitory, she lay on the door and listened carefully to the sounds in each dormitory.These dormitories needed keys. He tried it with a wire, but the door locks were not the same as the locks of the cabinets in the institute, so he couldn't open them.

This can't work, it's all here, he must make a breakthrough.

Li Lan left the dormitory, climbed up from the outside of the balcony on the first floor, and checked the situation inside through the window.There are holes in the air-conditioning unit and the inside of the wall, and he can use the wormhole with his fingertips to peek inside.

After searching for half an hour, he climbed to the second floor and finally found the guard who picked him up during the day.He carefully opened the balcony door and entered the room.

This was the first time he did a "bad thing". Li Lan was extremely nervous, sweat dripped from his hands.He wiped his palms three or four times, his fingertips trembling, tied up the guard who was sleeping like a dead pig, calmed down, took out his dagger and looked around at a loss, remembering that no one was around at this time, he mustered up his courage and slapped him. to the face of the guard.

"Ouch!!" The special police officer was beaten and scolded by him, and instantly sobered up, "Emma? Why did you come to my dormitory?"

Li Lan was trembling and couldn't even speak a complete sentence: "I, I, I, you, you, I have a question for you."

Guard: "Huh?"

Li Lan: "I, I, I, I'm sorry, but I have some questions to ask you."

Guard: "Huh?"

Li Lan: "Ah, I have a problem! Aren't you a temporary worker!" He collapsed, he couldn't play the role of a villain, so he had to yell loudly.

However, he did so with little effect. Li Lan felt that he looked very funny.

The guard didn't seem to be in the mood at all, his hair was curled up from sleep, Li Lan waited for a long time before he said, "You...you tied me up? Just to ask a question?"

Li Lan nodded.

"Ask what?" the guard continued to ask.

Li Lan explained honestly: "I want to ask you about temporary workers. The security guards may recruit temporary workers, but the special police shouldn't be able to, right? Your resume is also blank. What's going on?"

Li Lan felt that she couldn't ask anything.The dungeon mission must have wiped out all their memories, and the characters themselves will only have their own set memories...

Guard: "Ah. I was discovered by you."

Li Lan: "?"

The guard looked helpless. He lay on the bed and turned over like a live fish: "I was a character hired by the dungeon later, so I am a temporary worker. I can leave at any time when I am full."

Li Lan was shocked, what kind of magical employment relationship is this?The dungeon hires outsiders to become its own character?

The guard laughed and sat up from the bed.He said: "That's it. I really don't remember much about the outside... But we all sign the contract, and the employment relationship is considered established. Regular workers are different from us. They don't have much personal freedom and freedom of thought, and they People often have complete settings from the beginning, and we are different."

Li Lan asked: "You didn't complete the settings? Why is that? Didn't the dungeon arrange for you?"

The guard asked him back: "I've already said this, and you still don't understand? The copy is written by humans. Those of us who entered the scene halfway are like passer-by NPCs. It's okay to not have a complete set, as long as Keeping the main plot intact can kill the player, so the copy will not crash."

Li Lan understood.His inner thoughts were verified, so he couldn't wait to ask another question: "How to terminate the contract?"

The guard glanced at him.

"I know what you want to do. You want the copy to terminate the contract between yourself and Zhao Keke? I advise you not to think about it." He said lightly.

Li Lan knew that he had overstepped. He sat on the edge of the bed with a short knife in his hand, frowning.

"She is the core character of this dungeon. If you want her to terminate the contract, this dungeon will not be able to continue playing. If we temporary workers want to leave the dungeon, we need to pay tens of millions of gold in compensation. If we want to take the core character away, I'm afraid You have to pay for a mountain of gold."

The guard persuaded him: "It is impossible to take her away, but you can think of other ways. I have told you so much, and I have touched the bottom line of the confidentiality of the dungeon. I don't want you to pay for the compensation, but I will work as an NPC for 50 more years." live."

Li Lan untied him, and said again: "I hate the guy who writes the script."

The guard poured him a cup of tea and put it in his hand: "Good boy, no one likes copies. Originally, this thing is used to harm people. Naturally, the more responsive the better. I think the time is about the same, Do you want to go rest for a while?"

Li Lan shook his head. After drinking the water, he decided to see Nan Lesheng.He went out of the dormitory to the research room, found a researcher on night shift to lead him to Nan Lesheng's place.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the lights in Nan Lesheng's ward were still on. Li Lan knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from inside, she opened the door and went in.

Nan Lesheng was sitting on the bed reading a book with a glass of milk in his hand. Seeing that it was Li Lan, he smiled reassuringly: "You're here? How's it going? Are you tired of life outside?"

Li Lan shook her head.He doesn't find urban life boring, he just sees his incompetent self there.

"Brother Nan, I've made a discovery. Many of the characters in the dungeon were hired by outsiders, including temporary workers and regular workers, but we can't destroy the contract by taking Zhao Keke out." He said dejectedly.

Nan Lesheng took a sip of milk, and a layer of milk froth was on his upper lip.

"I know." He replied calmly.

"You already knew?" Li Lan asked in surprise.

Nan Lesheng licked off the white milk froth on his upper lip, and smiled: "The dungeon operates independently of the tower layer. It is just like a private enterprise and a state-owned enterprise to the tower layer. The dungeons are big and small, and there are good and bad because of the support. The strength of the dungeon is inconsistent. Thinking about it this way, recruiting workers from outside is also a normal operation."

Li Lan said: "Then how do we meet the customs clearance conditions? The contract cannot be broken..."

"Yes, we can't just destroy the copy," Nan Lesheng put down his milk cup and stretched, "But we can influence the characters, we can change the plot."

The dungeon is like a live-action plot game. The more you play, the easier it is for the plot to branch.

Nan Lesheng's purpose was actually the same as that of Li Lan's, but Li Lan got into a dead end, and he was too timid to be flexible.

What Nan Lesheng meant was to change Zhao Keke's thinking and influence her from the outside world.

He had to find a way to tell Zhao Keke that the place she was in was not the human world.She's just in a copy, these characters don't need her to save.

Nan Lesheng is different from Li Lan, but only different.They are very consistent on one point: if there is something to do, they will work hard to do it.No matter what the result is, he will try his best.

The author has something to say:

The focus of the Virgin Mary dungeon is not on the plot. This dungeon cannot be cleared from the common sense. Nan Lesheng's approach is a bit of a chicken thief, but despicable and wretched is also a kind of means. For him, as long as it does not touch the moral bottom line , all methods can be tried.

This customs clearance method may be No.1 in the ages
