[Infinite Horror] Xiao Ran

?Chu Xiaoran supported the wall with her hands, breathed calmly, and looked at the few people around her who were panting on their knees, and couldn't help but feel absurd in her heart—even after staying in Longyin base for more than ten years, leaving I have been through various tasks and experienced various dangers, but half an hour ago, I was sorting out computer data in the laboratory, and now I am sent to a horror movie to experience the test of life and death. This kind of experience is really unreal feel.

She couldn't stop thinking about it, and while analyzing the behavior of the previous few people, she followed the leader of the mercenaries, Matthew Addison, a character in "Resident Evil", and walked forward.Suddenly a person popped up beside her, Chu Xiaoran shuddered, tensed her muscles and turned her head, only to find that it was the young man who woke up after her.Behind him was the third girl wearing glasses who woke up and raised her hands and smiled. It must be that the two of them were joking just now, which frightened the young man.

"Hey, I said how about we introduce each other? After all, we will start living together soon." The girl with glasses smiled and said, "My name is Zhan Lan, Zhan from Zhan Tianyou, and Lan from the mountain wind, hehe , sounds like a boy’s name, right? I’m a writer by profession. Before I came here, I always complained that I didn’t have the desire and inspiration to write. I didn’t expect to come to this world of infinite inspiration. Haha, this is also retribution. "

Chu Xiaoran noticed that when she was speaking, her eyes quickly swept over the surrounding people, and after she finished speaking, she fixed her eyes on herself—the other woman present, although she did not speak, she It was the look of anticipation waiting for her response.

There must be a sense of authenticity, keep the hole cards, and not sound like ordinary people feel alienated... Chu Xiaoran gave her a friendly smile, half-truthfully said: "Chu Xiaoran, I am a soldier , but as a civilian."

Zhan Lan's eyes lit up, and said, "Female soldier? It sounds very handsome. Why are you here?"

"This... can be regarded as an oolong." Chu Xiaoran smiled, vaguely said, and Zhan Lan didn't ask any more questions.Earlier, when Chu Xiaoran led her down the stairs, the two had established a temporary friendship during the crisis, and after introducing each other, they turned their attention to the others.

After Zheng Zha, Mou Gang, and Li Xiaoyi introduced each other, Zhang Jie happened to come back, and they walked towards the road.Zhang Jie and the mercenaries walked in the front, Zhan Lan pulled Chu Xiaoran to follow, and the rest faintly fell behind.

The atmosphere was very tense along the way, and no one spoke much.Chu Xiaoran mechanically followed Zhan Lan in silence, but her mind wandered elsewhere.Since waking up in this space, she has actually been having a faint feeling about the face of the mysterious and unknown "Lord God", not to mention that there are lines of the Flame Queen in every passageway, faintly like human blood. Throbbing—to her, these hidden circuits were easily visible.

How ironic - in such a movie, the ability she once avoided is very likely to become the trump card to save her life at this moment.

She thought about it absently, felt it, opened the iron gate all the way, and passed Restaurant B. The plot went smoothly, and no one had any accidents.Zhan Lan did talk to her a few words, but in this situation, no one really wanted to chat, so Chu Xiaoran coped with it with a few casual words.It wasn't until a group of people entered the central computer control room and Kaplan stepped forward to operate the computer that they stopped.Chu Xiaoran thought for a while, pretending to be interested, she leaned forward, stood aside and watched Kaplan operate the three computers, while the other mercenaries gave her a wary look, but did not stop her.

After a while, the door slowly opened.Kaplan gave Chu Xiaoran a flaunting look, then turned around to declare victory.Chu Xiaoran didn't care at all, she just pursed her lips and stared at the computer screen, as if she was lost in thought.

Although the Flame Queen only pretended to be breached by Kaplan, after all, there was still a passage left behind. Compared with the thick barrier that was not attacked, this place was only a thin layer of protection for camouflage.She can easily pass through layers of data, conceal her figure, and when the Flame Queen turns her attention to the laser system, she can easily climb over the last thin wall.She raised her hand, focused and slowly moved across her side, a layer of data slowly enveloped her body.

Alright, this is already the blind spot of the Flame Queen. Next——she looked at a tumbling data cluster, which had countless data channels connected to countless devices and programs, but it was in a static state before her eyes. There are only a few channels passing data.This is the core of the Flame Queen, as long as...

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly there was a gunshot, and Chu Xiaoran's consciousness suddenly pulled away, only to feel a sharp throbbing pain in her temples - the switch from the world of data to reality was too fast.She suppressed her headache and turned her head to look, and Mou Gang's body covered with blood holes came into view.

"Anyone else object? I suspected you from the very beginning... you!" Matthew Edison suddenly turned to Chu Xiaoran, "Don't just stay there, you and him go in with us, hurry up, don't even think about being in the Play tricks on the computer!"

Chu Xiaoran froze for a moment, recalling quickly in her mind.She didn't completely lose consciousness just now, it's just that she was in a distracted state. The conversation she heard was not reflected in real time, but she did "hear it". The conversation that came out of my ears recalled.

The memory was only a second, and in the eyes of others, she was just stunned because she was suddenly clicked.Matthew Addison frowned, waiting impatiently for her to move, but Zhan Lan suddenly said: "Wait a minute... she, she used to be a researcher, maybe she just remembered something while looking at the computer... nothing Should we let her in too?"

Her voice visibly trembled slightly, and her eyes wandered. Matthew Addison snorted coldly, and before he could say anything, Chu Xiaoran had already stopped his words, and responded: "When I was looking at the computer just now, I felt Something is wrong... But I can't tell. I haven't fully recovered my memory yet, so I'm not sure, we just go in with the captain, but just in case, are there a few fewer people to go in? Look, " She spread her hands, "We don't have weapons, how much trouble can we cause?"

Matthew Edison frowned, Chu Xiaoran looked straight into his eyes, and said sincerely: "It would be best if there is nothing in the passage, and if there is any accident, it can be regarded as insurance, isn't it? To be honest , I have suffered such a loss before, and I have to retire due to injury at such a young age, and come here to work. As a mercenary, the captain must also know how unwilling it is to be mediocre from such a life. "

Matthew Addison looked at her, nodded, turned around and made a gesture to let the female medical soldier retreat to the back, and he himself entered the passage, Chu Xiaoran and Zheng Zheng, whose face was full of guilt and tension, Zha looked at each other and walked in. The other two mercenaries pointed guns at them and followed in.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the corridor, the door immediately closed behind him.Chu Xiaoran stood still on the spot, distracted, holding the wall with one hand, diverting her spirit into the wall again and then changing constantly, the circuit that transmits information——

Yes, she was still there, and the Flame Queen still didn't notice her.Part of the channels in that mass of data were all activated, and countless 0s and 1s rolled at an alarming speed.That is a calculation speed of tens of millions of times per second, but from Chu Xiaoran's perspective, everything can be seen at a glance, so clear, without any suspense——

She suddenly fell to the ground, reaching out her hand to take Zheng Zha beside her, but she didn't touch it.Zheng Zha had already reacted very quickly and lay down on the ground, a scorching laser shot across their heads.

The quality is very good?Chu Xiaoran was slightly surprised. While watching the Flame Queen stretch out her hand to draw thin lines on the screen, she quickly squatted up, but she didn't stand up straight and kept crouching on the ground—in fact, if she thought about it, the Flame Queen It's not that it's impossible for a level AI to seize control, it's just that the timing is lost, and now she can no longer abandon the attention of reality and concentrate on dealing with her.What's more, if the Flame Queen's control is really taken away, the follow-up plot will be in great trouble, and she doesn't want to attract too much attention before finding out the situation.

The second laser beam passed by, and a mercenary was dead on the spot. Chu Xiaoran stood up and saw that Zheng Zha had pulled Matthew Addison back. Several acupuncture points restrained him, and the four of them pressed against the door tightly and closed their eyes.In the digital fortress, she slowly approached the Flame Queen with the bunker wrapped in that layer of data, and slowly manipulated the data to wrap the most critical data channel.If the plot really changes——

The last thin wall finally collapsed suddenly under the constant attacks from outside, and the surging huge data flow was suddenly extinguished.Chu Xiaoran felt a faint burning sensation flash past in front of her, and then dissipated in an instant.

Apparently, the plot hasn't changed much.She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, refocused on reality, and immediately heard the heavy breathing of the other three.She turned her head and nodded at the restrained mercenary, let go of her hand, brushed the messy hair beside her ear, and inadvertently brushed a small ball of light on the mercenary's sleeve when she raised her hand.

A rigid and solemn voice sounded: "The plot of the C-level horror branch is completed, and the reward point is [-] points!"

……what is that?Chu Xiaoran was shocked by the news, but she came back to her senses in an instant, and looked up at Zheng Zha, who was also in a daze and didn't notice Chu Xiaoran's gaze at all.Chu Xiaoran quickly withdrew her gaze, keeping her doubts in her heart.

"Great! Are you all right?"

The door opened, and Zhan Lan rushed up first.She first took Chu Xiaoran's hand and asked with concern. After seeing her shake her head, she turned to Zheng Zha and blamed: "You deserve it. I have been reminding you not to change the plot before, but you just don't listen. What Zhang Jie said before is actually correct. Our biggest reliance here is not luck, but our familiarity with the plot." After a pause, she complained again: "Especially this time you have implicated Xiao Ran and Mou Gang, although It’s safe this time, but your luck can’t always be with you, don’t be so impulsive in the future, none of us want to die here.”

Zheng Zha came back to his senses, looked at Chu Xiaoran guiltily, then glanced at Mou Gang's body in the distance, nodded, as if hesitating to apologize, but Zhan Lan turned to Chu Xiaoran again.But before she could speak, the medical soldier on the side had already come up and said gratefully: "Thanks for your opening just now! If I entered the tunnel, I might die inside too..."

"It's nothing, I'm just making a suggestion." Chu Xiaoran smiled slightly, patted her shoulder, and melted a small ball of light on her shoulder into her fingertips.

"Double D-level horror branch plot is completed, and the reward point is [-] points!"

Hearing such a voice twice in a row, Chu Xiaoran was basically sure that this was probably the reward of the mysterious being who drew everyone here.The reward points are probably what Zhang Jie mentioned before, and the branch plot probably refers to the changes to the plot-Zhang Jie didn't mention that changing the plot can get rewards and branch plots at all.Was it true that he had never found out before?

Since it is a reward, what else can be changed in this horror film, without making the follow-up out of control?If you control the Flame Empress... Chu Xiaoran's heart moved, and she suppressed this thought again.The Flame Queen's role in this movie is too important to be easily replaced. Besides, if it is not inevitable... her ability should be used sparingly.
