"Although the Celestial King proposed such a vicious plan, not everyone believed his words. Of course, I was one of them. Back then, I said that the Celestial King's possible goal was this, but everyone's desire to return was too strong, so the final outcome was not ideal," Zhang Youdong continued to write. "That's right.
"After a period of chaos, our camp slowly divided into two sides. The first side was our side that did not believe in the God King and did not plan to participate in the trial. The other side was the side that chose to believe in the God King. Of course, there were fewer people on our side, but because they participated in the trial that the God King mentioned, the number of people on our side decreased rapidly. Seeing this situation, the number of people who chose to join our side gradually increased. In the final round of the trial, there was only one person who won … and that was Peter …"
"D * mn, Peter won?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, the last person left was Peter. I don't know what the God King's goal was, but he opened a portal in the end and sent Peter away. In the end, Peter was the only one who was saved. This is what I found out later," Zhang Youdong wrote.
"What?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned and immediately wrote, "That's not right. According to the information I received, the number of people who died in the temple incident was 499. In the end, only one person was missing. That person was you, Zhang Youdong."
"That's not me … it's Peter." Zhang Youdong immediately wrote, "Peter told me about this later. I don't know why he entered my body. He also realized that this matter was too serious, so he had no choice but to drag his body, which was almost out of control, to temporarily leave and hide."
"What?" Li Huailin was shocked, but he was also mentally prepared for this because he had already seen this technique. Wasn't Anran the same situation? There were too many shocking things now, so he was not surprised. However, he was more concerned about the following information. "You said that you saw Peter after that?"
"Yes, I saw him after that." Zhang Youdong nodded. "Not only is he from CTI, but he's also a special agent of the US government. So, he's quite capable. Not only did he successfully escape from capture, but he also found a way to find one of our testing devices. After that, he came here to see me and told us what happened."
"How did you get back here?" Li Huailin asked.
"After the God King's trial ended, he sent Peter back. After that, he began to openly deal with us. He wants to kill us all. Of course, we couldn't just wait to be captured, so the remaining people naturally began to fight with the Godking. However, our strength was limited, and we lost a large number of people. In the end, we accidentally found a teleportation channel and all of us returned here … "
"You found the portal?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned.
"It's also part of my research. I've mentioned before that the newly born game is also an evolution of the current game. So, with a part of the code analysis ability, I developed something that can temporarily open the channel," Zhang Youdong explained. "In short, through hard work, the rest of us returned here. However, all of us soon discovered that even if we returned here, we could no longer exit the game."
"Because your bodies are gone?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, this is what Peter told me later. After the incident, our bodies were dragged to places like the hospital. No one realized that our consciousness was actually still trapped in the game. Perhaps because of this, we can't return to our bodies."
"If your bodies are removed from the virtual machine, shouldn't you be forced to exit the game after that?" Li Huailin asked. Yes, the current game had a forced exit button. If there was an accident, such as a fire, others could forcibly help you exit. Of course, there might be unexpected damage to the body, but this setting was still necessary. Li Huailin did not know why this person could not return after forcibly leaving the game.
"I don't know either. Maybe this server is special," Zhang Youdong said. "In short, the end result is that we are all trapped here. Although Peter entered the game again in the end, it was a few years later because he forcibly took my body. According to him, it took him two years just to control my body. After that, it took him a lot of time to figure out how to get those test machines. By the time he found us, we had already been declared brain-dead. Our bodies had long been disposed of, and there was no way for us to return. Peter also did not dare to appear in public. He was still being tracked, and he could not even protect himself. "
"Peter only appeared three times in total. Of course, he kept telling us that he was trying to find a way, but then there was no more news. Until now, I don't know how long he has not appeared. It seems that he is long gone."
"Did Petrell tell you where he was hiding?" Li Huailin asked. "If we know where he is hiding, we may be able to find some clues."
"Oh, I know this." Zhang Youdong nodded immediately and wrote an address for Li Huailin. "He told me that he was here, on the edge of Greater Halifax."
Li Huailin nodded, then wrote down the address. After thinking for a while, he continued to write, "I almost know what happened, but what is the situation now?" "You know our situation at the time.
At that time, we certainly did not expect that we would be trapped for so long. Everyone was waiting for the people outside to rescue us. So while we tried to contact the outside world, I continued to study these codes. However, after a long time, no one came to rescue us. The Ruler of God here seemed to be unwilling to let us go. For a long time, he would open the portal and send some people to kill us. In order to protect myself, I used some information from the code to create a device similar to a seal. Although the Ruler of God can open the seal, there is no way for the NPCs to pass through. "
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. This was exactly what he had guessed. "But the seal you set up allows players to pass through?"
"Yes, because we need to get in touch with the world over there." Zhang Youdong continued to write, "After all, there may be a chance for the world over there to leave this place. And that's not the only problem. The main problem now is … as you can see, this world is collapsing …"
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned, then suddenly pointed to the collapsed place next to him. "You mean that?"
"Yes." Zhang Youdong nodded. "This is also the reason why I brought you here. You can see that this world is collapsing. Originally, the game world we designed was very large. There are three huge empires on the human side, and the map is also very large. But now, the surrounding areas have actually collapsed. This place that you can see is the last place. The remaining two empires have actually long since disappeared. It's just that this NPC is not intelligent, so he did not realize this. He still thinks that the other two empires are eyeing him covetously. Even the emperor here has issued a mission to target the other two empires."
"This is the only area left?" Li Huailin was surprised.
"Yes, this is the Imperial City, and then there are a few cities around it. The rest is the void, there is nothing. According to my speculation, if the world continues to wither, you will continue to fall, and then there will be no more and then," Zhang Youdong wrote.
"Why is this place collapsing?" Li Huailin asked.
"I don't know. Maybe the server's data is collapsing, or maybe the world over there is devouring this world. Anyway, this is the current situation. We don't have much time, so I am anxious to get in touch with the world over there. If this place collapses, then the world over there will be our only way out."
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded in understanding. "But if we don't care about you, you will be finished. So why did the Celestial King send us to destroy you?"
"Maybe the Celestial King doesn't know our current situation," Zhang Youdong said. "I don't know what that person is thinking."
"I see. You want to leave this place and go to the game world over there, but you can't because the Celestial King will hunt you down." Li Huailin nodded. "But you are telling me this because you want me to save you? You have to know that our current mission is to destroy you … "
"I know. The Celestial King seems to have given you some benefits, right? Also, we are not considered humans anymore. We are just a consciousness. Based on the current situation, it doesn't seem like you will feel any psychological burden if you kill us directly," Zhang Youdong said. Zhang Youdong said, "But listen to me first. There is one more thing I have to tell you. This is also related to you. We should be on the same front now."
"Oh, what is it?" Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Do you still remember the mysterious code? According to the analysis of the code, we can even analyze what will happen in the future. You should have verified this, right? "Zhang Youdong wrote." Do you know why the final code only lasts until September 21XX? "
