Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

The white coat struggled and said, "What?"

Zhou Wenyan: "Player, there are ghosts."

He didn't know which point of the white coat these two words hit, his face twisted slightly: "It's all because of you!"

Zhou Wenyan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

The white coat gritted his teeth: "If you hadn't appeared, our world wouldn't be like this!"

Originally, their world was stable and peaceful, and they were just ordinary scientists in white coats.

I don't know from which day, strange people appear one after another in this world. They have no identity, appear out of thin air, and call themselves "players".

Where the players appear, there will always be some weird things, such as homicides, serial car accidents, murders in secret rooms, etc. that cannot be explained by science.

Those players will stay here for a period of time. If they are unlucky, they will die directly and become an unclaimed corpse. If they are lucky, after the time is up, they will disappear out of thin air just like when they came.

The players are gone, but those unscientific things have not disappeared. They are entrenched in this city, brutally slaughtering every aboriginal who strayed into it.

The white coat tugged at the collar and said coldly, "We don't know how much manpower it took to contain those things."

Man is no match for ghosts.

But the white coat leads a group of scientific researchers to research a way to trap ghosts and trap them in this base.In order to prevent the players from destroying this rare peace, they used some methods to make those players fall into a deep sleep as soon as they entered this world. If they did not find a flaw, they would not be able to wake up.

As long as the player does not leave the base, ghosts will not appear outside again.

The white coat looked like giving up resistance: "I'm done."

Shen Dongqing applauded very applaudingly, and then said doubtfully: "Since doing this will not produce any more ghosts, why are there so many in the base..."

With the end of his voice falling, the surrounding shadows twisted like waves, and figures pulled out of it one by one, surrounding the white coat.

Those who couldn't see clearly lowered their heads, stretched out their pale and thin hands, and pointed at the white coats in unison.

The face in the white coat turned pale.

In the beginning, this base was established only to protect the aborigines, but when their research deepened and they gradually mastered the power of ghosts, everything began to change.

They were unwilling to just guard the treasures without using them. After some disputes, the white coat was elected as the controller of the base, using the capabilities of the base to study more things.

For example, control the entire world, or take the initiative to invite players into this world to conduct some tests.

Wu Jia sighed: "It's no wonder that no player has ever left this game field."

In the case of mental arithmetic without intention, no wonder the player will fall.

Judging by the level of proficiency in the white coats, the number of players who fall into their hands must be a terrifying number.

White coat: "Anything else I want to ask?"

The short-haired girl whispered, "Quickly ask how to leave this game field."

Their ultimate goal is not to destroy the base and rescue all the players, but to leave the game field.

Hearing the short-haired girl's words, the white coat sneered: "No player can leave here..." He glanced at the people present, "Even you are the same."

Shen Dongqing shook her head: "It's different."

White coat: "What's different?"

Shen Dongqing clenched her fists and said, "If we can beat you, can others?"

The body in the white coat froze: "Are you threatening me?"

Shen Dongqing spread her hands: "It's just telling the truth."

The white coat is even more bachelor: "I really don't know how to leave."

The NPCs in each game field will not directly tell the players how to pass the level. Maybe they don't know, or maybe they can't tell because of the rules of the game.

However, it is impossible for ordinary players to threaten the NPC to tell them how to clear the customs, and the rules of the game are only for those who do not enjoy the game.

Yes, it's Shen Dongqing.

Shen Dongqing scratched her head, not knowing what to do, she looked at Zhou Wenyan for help.

Zhou Wenyan didn't ask how to clear the level, but asked an irrelevant question: "How did you get the 'strongest weapon' that was released before?"

The white coat vowed never to hear the words "the strongest weapon" ever again, but under Zhou Wenyan's gaze, he could only honestly say: "It was exiled from other worlds."

Zhou Wenyan: "Other worlds?"

The white coat thought that this was not a big deal, so he said directly: "I have studied many players, and I know that you are constantly shuttling in various worlds, that is, game fields. came from the field."

"It appeared on the day the base was built."

In fact, this world should have been an ordinary game field, and it was only D or C rank at the beginning.

But because a group of scientific researchers headed by white coats discovered the essence of the world, this game field gained the ability to evolve. They absorbed the players' abilities and gradually grew into an S-level game copy.

It's quite reasonable to say.

When the base was built, the game field evolved spontaneously, and the game may have lost control for a moment, so an NPC from another world escaped into it.

After the upgrade and maintenance of the game field is completed, the game will make a mistake when it finds out about it, and directly arrange it as the boss of this world.

White coat: "I've told you what I know, please let me go. We are all victims of the game, there is no need to kill each other..."

Zhou Wenyan did not express his position, but said: "The last question."

The attitude of the white coat is very good: "You ask, you ask."

Zhou Wenyan: "Is your surname Chen?"

The white coat shook his head: "My surname is not Chen." He pointed to his chest, where there was a name tag.

Zhou Wenyan: "Is there anyone at the base with the surname Chen?"

The white coat thought for a moment: "It seems that there is no one with the surname Chen, let alone..." If there is such a person, he is probably dead.

Zhou Wenyan nodded: "Let's go."

He's almost done asking.

The short-haired girl muttered to herself.

After asking for a long time, why didn't I ask anything useful?

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow the boss closely and left the safe house.

After the group of people left, the white coat breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter, if there are no scientific researchers, you can recruit again, if you don't have ghosts, you can create again, everything can be done slowly...

Thinking of this, the white coat turned around to control the sweeping robot to clean up the mess.

But as soon as he turned around, he met a pale face.

The wandering spirits around the white coats floated forward and crowded the safe house to the brim.

These are the people who died during the experiment. There are players and aborigines. They stared at the executioner and let out horrible laughter.

"what--"

After a short scream, the base fell into dead silence again.

The base covers a huge area.

It took a lot of effort to get in, and it took a lot of time to get out.A group of people wandered around, not in a hurry to go out, but went to the laboratory where the players were staying first.

Even if the control personnel of the base are gone, the mechanical facilities are still operating meticulously according to the settings.

The nutrition cabins are neatly arranged. The small one is like a coffin. Each nutrition cabin is connected with a monitor. The ECG curve above represents the player’s state. good.

The short-haired girl said: "I can't wake up, I tried."

Probably compared to cruel games, they prefer the virtual world.

Wu Jia lifted a cover and tried it.

The player lying inside is a little girl, with a ruddy complexion and a smile at the corner of her mouth, as if she had encountered something happy.The false world is so beautiful that she has no response to external stimuli.

Wu Jia closed the lid again: "It can't be saved."

These players are not only eliminated from this batch, but also from the previous batch. In the list of the game, they are already "dead".

And even if they can wake up, they probably won't want to go back and continue the endless game.

Zhou Wenyan: "Then let them stay here."

He went to the console and pressed a series of buttons on it, setting the base to shut down the other facilities and dedicate resources to this lab alone, so that it could run for at least another 60 years without anyone maintaining it.

"Sixty years." Wu Jia said, "Maybe none of us can live that long."

The short-haired girl rolled her eyes at him: "Crow mouth."

Wu Jia made a gesture of zipping his mouth, and dared to speak after a while: "But we haven't found a way to get out yet."

Even if the entire base is blown up, the game will not judge them to pass the level.

Zhou Wenyan pressed the OK button, turned around and said, "Go outside the base and have a look."

According to what the white coat said, there is another city outside the base. The players should have been dropped into the city outside, but they were intercepted by the base halfway.

Then there's a good chance the clue is outside, not inside the base.

Zhou Wenyan got off the console and didn't see Shen Dongqing for a while. After looking around, he found that he was squatting in a corner, holding something in his hands, and having fun.

Sensing Zhou Wenyan's gaze, Shen Dongqing raised her head and smiled at him, then lifted the thing in her hand: "I caught this."

It was a dark mass, elongated, with the appearance of a human being vaguely visible, with chains wrapped around its limbs.

After it was caught, it struggled frantically, but no matter what, it was easily suppressed by Shen Dongqing. After losing twice, it could only give up struggling, lowered its head and remained motionless.

Wu Jia tentatively said, "The strongest weapon?"

"The strongest weapon" has nothing to love.

It originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape quietly, but was unlucky, and bumped back into Shen Dongqing's hands.

Shen Dongqing pinched one of its feet and dangled in the air. He said to Zhou Wenyan, "I want to raise it."

Sombra almost cried.

Come on, ancestor, it still wants to live for a few more years.

Zhou Wenyan: "It's too ugly."

What kind of pet do you want?He is enough.

Shen Dongqing looked down.

Hmm... really ugly.

He threw it on the ground casually, and gave up the idea of ​​keeping a pet: "Then don't."

Feeling relieved, the ghost figure landed on all fours, moving on the floor tiles, trying to move away from Shen Dongqing, but before it could take two steps, it was stepped on again.

Zhou Wenyan bowed his head: "Which game field did you come from?"

Ghosting trembled, and couldn't even speak clearly: "This, this..."

Zhou Wenyan: "Can't you tell?"

Ghost nodded, then shook his head again.

Shen Dongqing followed closely behind: "Don't tell me?"

Ghost Shadow looked at this and then that, and was almost scared to cry. It sniffled and said, "Can you give me a moment to catch my breath?"

Shen Dongqing asked strangely: "Aren't you dead? Still need to breathe?"

Ghost: ...

Does being a ghost have no human rights?

After a while, Guiying said honestly, "I'm from the ghost town."

ghost town.

Isn't this the place Shen Dongqing saw before?

As soon as Shen Dongqing became interested, she reached out and poked the ghost: "How do I get to the ghost city?"

Ghost Shadow: "When the ghost gate is wide open, the ghost gate is only opened every thirty game days."

The time calculation in the game is different from the outside, and it is also very confusing.

Maybe seven days have passed in the game copy, and only 1 minute has passed outside, or it may have stayed in the game copy for one day, and a month has passed outside.

So the game simply set a game day, no matter how the players' time is calculated, it will be calculated directly according to the lowest level copy.

The lowest-level dungeon will be placed into players every once in a while, which is equal to a game day for the NPCs inside.

Then the ghost town will be opened once every [-] game days, that is...

Shen Dongqing counted with her fingers for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out, so she asked Ghosting directly.

How many days are thirty game days?

Ghost Ying didn't seem to have a high IQ, so he asked in a daze, "How do I know?"

Shen Dongqing stared at it.

Ghost Shadow seemed to think of something, and said, "If it's you, you can enter the Ghost City when the time is up, but if you calculate the time, it will almost open soon..."

Shen Dongqing pointed at herself with a finger: "Me?"

Ghosting nodded: "Yes."

Shen Dongqing: "You know me?"

The ghost image opened its mouth, wanting to answer his question, but there seemed to be a force blocking it, preventing it from speaking.After spending a long time, it can only say: "You will know when you get to the ghost town."

Shen Dongqing didn't have much desire to know about her real identity, so she waved her hand: "You can go."

The ghost shadow crawled away.

Wu Jia said suddenly: "Wait."

The ghost's movements stopped.

Wu Jia said: "So many players are still here, this ghost...isn't it safe?"

Shen Dongqing said without burden: "Then let it be destroyed humanely."

Ghosting's face turned green from fright, and he quickly said that he was safe and would never secretly eat players!

It speaks very sincerely, strives to be a good ghost in the new era with positive thinking, and will never harm anyone!Not to mention cannibalism!

Shen Dongqing patted it on the shoulder and encouraged: "Very good."

This was the first time he encountered a ghost with such a high level of consciousness. Those ghosts in the past were doing nothing, neither studying how to harm people nor learning how to be a ghost.

Whether you are a man or a ghost, you must have a goal!

He looked at the ghost with admiration: "Then you stay here, and when ghosts come, teach them how to be ghosts."

Ghost Shadow survived the catastrophe for the rest of his life, and he couldn't help nodding: "I will definitely be a ghost..."

The two players next to them feel that this world is a little unreal.

Why did he suddenly jump into the ideological and moral class?

After bidding farewell to the tearful ghost, the group set out to find a way out of the base.

This base is really too big, almost calling itself a small world, with all kinds of facilities inside, an ordinary person can live a lifetime without leaving the base.

After searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the exit. Coupled with the things they had just experienced, they were exhausted.

A group of people were tired and hungry, so they simply went to fill their stomachs first.

The canteen at the base is semi-mechanized. Even if no one is there to operate it, the AI ​​still prepares a hearty lunch according to the procedure.

While eating, the players discussed how to get out of here.

Wu Jia said: "If I knew it earlier, I would have asked that white coat."

Short-haired girl: "Now that everyone is dead, it's too late."

Wu Jia is optimistic: "There is food and drink here, so we won't starve to death. If we don't, we can lie down in the nutrition cabin and live another 60 years."

Zhou Wenyan threw a piece of bread at him: "Good luck."

Wu Jia caught the bread and gnawed it: "Anyway, I'm thinking that I can't do without games in this life. It's not easy to live until now. It's good to be optimistic."

Shen Dongqing said vaguely, "I'm also quite optimistic."

Wu Jia lost his voice.

Are you optimistic?It's just a matter of tearing up the BOSS and NPC in the game field.

The other players are all being played by the game, Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan are just playing the game together, they can't compare.

Shen Dongqing picked up a piece of cream cake and took a bite. After the sweet taste melted in her mouth, she suddenly said, "I seem to know where the exit is."

Wu Jia responded the fastest: "Where is where?"

Shen Dongqing pointed.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and there was a "Safety Exit" sign on the wall, which was still shining with green light.

Wu Jia didn't even bother to eat, and hurriedly stood up: "Let's go and have a look."

Shen Dongqing wiped out the cream cake in two bites, picked up a box of fried chicken, and followed.After walking two steps, he turned his head back again, picked up a bottle of Coke and held it in his arms.

His chest was so full of food that he couldn't even walk, and he was afraid that the fried chicken would fall off.

Zhou Wenyan waited for a while, seeing his cautious appearance, couldn't help laughing, and walked over to help share part of it.

Go out along the intersection pointed by the safe passage, turn a few turns, and come to a small door.

This is probably the place where food is delivered. As soon as the door is opened, there is a small road outside, with barren grass on both sides of the road.

A gust of sand blows.

Shen Dongqing's first reaction was to protect the fried chicken in his arms, and Zhou Wenyan, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes so as not to get sand in it.

After the wind and sand blown by, the players found that they were on the edge of a city, and the base was located below the city.

There are row upon row of urban buildings, ranging from high-rise office buildings to low-level apartment villas.

Just looking at the appearance, this city is located in a high-tech world, but it is too desolate, there is no one on the road, and it is quiet.

Wu Jia looked at the sun and estimated the time: "It should be noon now."

It stands to reason that there are always a few passers-by.

But this city is like an empty city. The shops on the street look bustling, but in fact there are no people inside.

Shen Dongqing: "Not even a single person."

With his simple and rude style, of course he wanted to find someone to ask, but he didn't expect that there was no one here.

Zhou Wenyan walked into a convenience store, where various goods were neatly displayed on the shelves, and the TV hung on the wall was still on, but there was no channel to play, it was just shining with snowflakes.

He picked up the items on the shelves and found the production dates. These items had been expired for more than a year, and no one had dealt with them at all.

Based on what the white coat said, this city should have become a dead city.

Zhou Wenyan put down his things and walked out: "Let's go shopping first."

Apart from the lack of people, this city is still a modern city with schools, shopping malls, and entertainment facilities.

After walking all the way, they didn't find any clues, and the fried chicken bucket in Shen Dongqing's arms was only left with chicken bones.

Holding the empty fried chicken bucket, he went to the trash can and threw it in. He was about to turn around and walk back, but when he turned around, he stepped on something and made a noise.

Shen Dongqing moved her foot to look, and there was a piece of paper lying underneath, with a footprint clearly printed on it.He kept his good manners of picking up trash that fell on the ground, bent down to pick it up, and was about to roll it up and throw it away when he caught a glimpse of a familiar symbol on it.

Shen Dongqing stopped and unfolded the half-rolled paper.

This is a recruitment notice. It has been posted for a long time. It has experienced wind and rain, and the edges are dark yellow.

Shen Dongqing: "I seem to have found a clue!"

A group of people pondered around this recruitment notice.

Wu Jia: "I didn't expect the recruitment procedures to be quite complete."

The short-haired woman pointed to the posts above and said, "The first two are fine, but the last 'volunteer' looks strange."

Wu Jia's heart sank: "Could it be those experimental subjects?"

Shen Dongqing: "Call and ask."

He took out his mobile phone, pressed the phone number on it, and dialed out.

This phone number appears one after another, which means that this must be the key to customs clearance.

But in the fake world before, the phone was not connected, and now players are very concerned about whether they can make a connection.

"beep--"

This time, there was no reminder that it was an empty number, and after three rings, the call was connected.

Players stared nervously at their phone screens.

There was a dead silence on the other end of the phone, not even a breath.

It can be seen on the screen that it is indeed connected.

Time passed minute by minute.

Wu Jiasheng was afraid of disturbing the person opposite, so he mouthed: "What's going on?"

The short-haired woman shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Shen Dongqing didn't worry so much, he got impatient, picked up the phone directly, and said loudly, "Are you here? Talk to me."
