Human dimension reduction

In the extreme north of Siberia, the largest black hole ever recorded appeared. From the ocean to the mountains, the vast plains were surrounded by it. Double-digit cities and tens of millions of residents fell at the same time, and the black curtain opened to cover the sky Block out the sun.

The country that owns this vast land immediately sent troops to the rescue, and it was not until six days later that three soldiers escaped with one survivor.

According to them, the alienated world in the black hole is a high-degree-of-freedom game. The established army is dispersed as soon as it enters. Everyone can only fight alone, and is forced to start this stand-alone game with only one player. .

What's even more amazing is that according to the dictation of the four people who escaped from the black hole, the game plots they experienced were not the same, like different branches under a huge worldview.

On the first report, he appeared in the stables of a manor after entering the game. The identity arranged for him by the game was the son of a groom. He followed the rare game instructions and gave full play to his subjective initiative. With the help of a famous guide npc, he joined the Revolutionary Army, spent seven years fighting in the north and south, and finally became one of the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army, established a country belonging to the proletarian laborers, and got the game to complete the main task [red] torrent] and exited the game successfully.

On the second report, after entering the game, he appeared in a village occupied by bandits. Due to his unclear judgment of the situation, he killed several bandits including the bandit leader, and gained the loyalty of the bandits by accident. He used that village as his base, He was recruited by the rebel army and became a subordinate unit of the revolutionary army. Later, he was persuaded by the nobles huddled in the south. With the help of the npc [cavalry captain], he joined the cavalry team, confronted the revolutionary army across the river, and completed the main line The task [Equally Divided Crown] successfully exited the game.

On the third report, he landed in the Siberian wilderness in the game. He picked up the fledgling Royal Grand Duchess in the snow, followed the game prompts along the way to gain her favor, and helped her regain her country, and completed the main task. 【Resurrected Empire】.

Reported on the [-]th, she obtained the identity as the second daughter of an ordinary farmer, and the NPC responsible for distributing the task was the older sister of the neighbor next door. Their village was destroyed by the rebel army who burned, killed and looted. The two fled hand in hand and entered In the Revolutionary Army, NPCs protected her throughout the entire process, and she thrived in the Revolutionary Army. Because of the support of an NPC who later gained the nickname "Valkyrie", she was finally able to lead the Revolutionary Army, reach a peace agreement with the nobles, and complete the main task. 【Crown of Immortality】.

The same background setting, but from the moment the player enters the game, the high degree of freedom of the plot makes the whole game run in different directions. The NPCs they encounter and the plots they experience are not the same at all, including the final ending. Totally inconsistent, but as long as the main mission is completed, there is a chance to exit the game.

Compared with other dangerous alien worlds, this world of playing games is much more friendly.

The person who got the report sighed, and the corners of the mouth of the person who heard this twitched.

If it was really friendly, how could it be possible that only three came out of the tens of millions of people who went in?

After the black hole appeared, the officials divided the people who fell into the alienated world into two types. One was the "fallen" who were possessed by monsters and completely showed the appearance of the black hole's natives. If they die for various reasons, they will die completely in reality. The only way to save them is to find a way to make the black hole disappear while they are still alive, and drag the entire reduced-dimensional world back to the human world; The "survivors" who can maintain self-awareness and have to flee in the alienated world are called "outsiders" by the black hole aborigines. Killing them can regain a chance to restart the world.

Analyzing from the narrations of the four people, this game is clearly set against the background of the war years. I don’t know how many "occupiers" died in it, and as of now, there are only four "survivors" who have survived. The proportions are simply creepy.

They said that after dying in this game, the game will go back to the beginning, there is no chance to save, and the exit option can only be obtained by trying to survive until the end and completing the main task. Just look at the probability of four in ten million, you know this How difficult is a game that must be passed by one's life.

However, what puzzled the researchers was that from the explanations of the survivors, they discovered a strange phenomenon. The aborigines in this game—that is, those npcs—did not seem to be born with self-awareness, which is similar to that in other black holes. The aborigines who clearly know the existence of this world and try to ascend to the world are completely different.

Is it because of the limitations of the game genre, or is there another reason?

Researchers who know little about the cause of black holes can only record this confusion and wait for future research.

Compared with their clueless thinking, the personnel of the intelligence department acted faster. It didn't take them much effort to find the prototype of the alienated world based on the explanations of several survivors, an rpg love strategy game "Frozen Empire" originating in an island country. ★The Rhapsody of a Siberian Dream" uses the turbulent historical background of Maoxiong Kingdom at the end of the 120th century, and adds a lot of love elements. There are [-] excellent NPCs that can be captured alone. They are open-minded, both male and female, and their status and status are horizontal. From the royal family to the serfs, the plot line is so rich that no player who has completed the whole strategy has appeared yet.

The main quests and NPCs mentioned by several survivors are just common routes in the game. It is said that there are also wonderful treason routes in it, and the strategy methods are so dazzling.

And after the game has dissimilated into an independent world, the programmed programs proliferate like a virus, and a logically harmonious new plot and new route have evolved. The [Peachy Dinner Party] achieved by No.4 survivors is a parallel New achievements that don't exist in the illustrated book, the game is frantically creating more details until the unreal world is completely real.

No one knows how far it can go in the end, let alone how it will invade the world. The black hole standing on the Siberian wasteland is like a countdown that weighs on the heads of all human beings. Walking forward at the same pace, until a certain moment, the black hole suddenly disappears, and another world will come to this world.

— along with tens of millions of monsters who have lost themselves.

A conference room in Moscow was closed for two days and one night. Documents with top-secret seals were handed out like a stream. A large number of troops began to be transferred to the edge of Siberia, using various means to tightly seal this vast land.

Heavy weapons have been transported to the front line, a large number of gasoline bombs have been sent to the equipment depot, a net drawn by satellites has enveloped the sky, missile silos are always ready to warm up, and a letter of consent signed by the highest military officer has been delivered to the launch officer's desktop, and the The key to the launch button is placed just above the file.

They prepared for the worst and waited silently with faint hopes.

If Siberia falls completely this time, a catastrophe in human history will begin.

Most of the eyes of the earth are focused on this cold land. The high blue sky, the dark barrier, and neatly arranged soldiers and various tanks and military vehicles, this scene has a special sense of fantasy. The data streams are sent to the display screens, distributed in different countries, and people of different skin colors and ages are all looking at this scene with fascination.

The monitoring of Siberia lasted for half a month, and the army seemed to be stationed here. As time passed, the blueprint for the formation of the Siberian black hole was also revealed. It became a best-selling stand-alone game all over the world, with more than 20 billion downloads. The game platform was directly overwhelmed by the huge access data. The publishing company quickly seized the opportunity to add multiple language packs, even Egyptian and Icelandic. , took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, setting a record for the highest single-player game sales in the history of the game.

This wave of game frenzy has naturally swept across China. The diligent doctor beside Jinghu Lake in Eastern Province looked at the cover of the game that was too fresh and girly on the computer interface, showing a look of confusion. It took a while before closing this page. Turn around and look for the strategy posted on the forum.

"No.30 No. [-] main task [Blood Field], attack the NPC crime master Vasily Andraevich, the player's birthplace is Kucirk District, the attack route..."

"Main quest [Tyrant's Reign], attack the npc exiled emperor, choose Moscow as the player's birthplace, attack route..."

"Has anyone done the mission in the Siberian wasteland? The guide npc is a good-looking boy with golden brown hair and blue-gray eyes. How is his strategy route?"

"Where did you pick up the pre-missions for the Yekaterinburg Incident?"

"...The one who asked about the mission in the Siberian wasteland, the main mission related to that npc is [Eternal Kingdom of God on Earth], this line is meaningless, the npc is a priest, can't clear it, it's just a tool to take you through the mission, and In the later stage, you have to be very vigilant against him, otherwise you will find that the territory you laid down becomes his for no reason...

"This npc also has a high charisma attribute. Citizens who come into contact with him will become fanatics. When he gets the title of [Saint on Earth], you have to be careful, your army will immediately mutiny and betray you.

"Anyway, the best ending after this line is opened is to join him. It's best to take the initiative to offer loyalty to him, otherwise you will be backstabbed, don't resist! Don't make small moves! Don't struggle! It's useless to do anything later! Join if you can't beat it! It's all a lesson of blood and tears..."

This player obviously has a love-hate relationship with this main quest, and his words are full of heartache.

Since the game became popular, a huge number of players have poured into it. Many players are more interested in the plot of the game's world conquest than playing Love Raiders, so they racked their brains to figure out more main quests. This player Obviously, he is also a member of the cause party, but his heart to be an emperor is frustrated by a strange npc.

The doctor stared at this comment with interest for a while, and then scrolled down with the mouse, and saw that the poster had posted several screenshots of the game at the same time.

It should be that npc on the screen. The game is very beautifully made, and the character portraits are also very beautiful. The young Slavs lowered their heads slightly, with golden-brown hair falling on the neck, blue-gray eyes drooping obediently, and an overly thin man. His body looked unhealthy, but it didn't detract from his beauty.

The next few photos show his appearance as an adult. His open facial features are sharp and handsome, with an elegant and majestic charm. The priest's white robe is simple and simple. He stands on the pulpit of the church, and the halo behind him is like an angel. Spread the huge illusory wings.

The artwork is not bad, the doctor thought so, and swipe across a few pictures lightly, without taking them to heart at all.

The phone alarm rang a few times, he turned off the forum, stood up and prepared to visit his patient.

Thinking of the patient who was too depressed these days, he frowned a little worriedly. He was obviously not sick, but even if he stayed in the room all day and did not come out, showing his face occasionally, he looked exhausted. Do you want to arrange a few more inspections...

Thinking of this, he put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and walked along the cobblestone path lined with flowers and trees to the inpatient department. He was surprised to find that the person he was looking for was sitting under the wisteria shelf.

"Mr. Qiao? Did you go out today?" He stood there, adjusted his glasses, and looked at the other person's complexion carefully. He found that the handsome young man looked much more energetic today, which was completely different from the sleepiness of the previous few days. two people.

"Yeah, I've been researching a game for the past few days, and I'm too fascinated, which worries Dr. Tao." The gentle young man smiled apologetically, and Tao Bosheng walked up to him and sat down, expressing concern The patient's heart asked, "What game?"

The hospital has little restrictions on harmless patients. Patients like Qiao Zhou can watch most of the TV programs and play games are also allowed. As long as there are no violent elements such as bloody violence in the TV games, no one will interfere.

Tao Bosheng knew that his patient was a very famous game producer, and researching games was his daily routine. All the games he played would be checked by the nurse and then submitted to the doctor's office for record.

So this question is just to start the topic, Qiao Zhou replied gently: "It's the recently famous "Frozen Empire". I like the background setting in it, it's very creative."

Tao Bosheng nodded. He also went to learn about it because Qiao Zhou asked to download the game.

The two started chatting around the game, and Qiao Zhou, who was dual-purpose, began to think about the next step while dealing with the doctor's topic.

Getting sucked into the black hole of Siberia was an unexpected event that he didn't expect. Manipulating puppets across a vast territory was far beyond Qiao Zhou's ability. a black hole.

After all, he is the one who plays Stuart, Richard, and Edward. Manipulating the account through the black hole feels like trying to connect to a device with a weak signal. Words and deeds are as usual, which is why he is extremely tired.

But this sudden incident gave him a new discovery.

The death of the account seems to bring a certain degree of damage to the puppet.

With Qiao Zhou's super operation before, these accounts have never experienced death, so this is the first time he saw the puppets after the account died.

After Petrosa killed Richard, the bloody smile painted on the puppet's face dimmed a lot, and for as long as 10 minutes, it was unable to respond to Qiao Zhou's question, and could only follow orders and mechanically mission accomplished.

——like completely losing self-awareness, until he escaped from the black hole, the puppet would still disconnect from time to time.
