"Discovered the company's secret?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. Yes, according to the context of the previous conversation, Li Huailin thought that Hoffman's relationship with the godslayer was discovered by the company and was dealt with after some conflict broke out. However, he did not expect the topic to suddenly change to the company's secret. It seemed that the so-called secret of the company was the key problem. That reminded Li Huailin of the Ark Project that Hoffman had mentioned in the video. Although he didn't know what it was, he reckoned that it should be the so-called secret.
"Yes." The godslayer continued, "That was what he told me the last time I saw him. He said that he found some special secrets in his company, and the people in the company might attack him. Then, he …"
"So, what secret is it?" Li Huailin asked directly.
"I … am not very sure," the godslayer said. The Godslayer said, "I've asked him, but he didn't tell me. He's probably worried that I'll be in danger too. However, it should be something related to this world. "
"You don't know the result?" Li Huailin held his forehead. "How did Hoffman die? Didn't you say that you saw Hoffman die? I was a little confused just now. Hoffman is a player, you know, and players can be resurrected directly after they die. Theoretically, they won't die unless their real bodies die directly in reality. However, you couldn't have seen it. So, what's going on? "
"I … To be precise, I didn't see it. Hoffman told me that if he was caught by them, he would be killed by them. After that, Hoffman was captured by them in front of me. If he was still alive, it would be impossible for him not to look for me," the godslayer said.
"Captured?" Li Huailin was also a little stunned. That was a little strange. In theory, their company should have a physical office area. In other words, the employees would enter the virtual office inside the host computer through the real world. Hence, if they wanted to kill Hoffman, they could just attack him directly. Why did they have to capture his virtual avatar? Of course, the situation of Hoffman turning into a lamp was also very strange. This … Who did it?
Li Huailin analyzed the situation. First of all, the other party definitely had a reason to capture Hoffman. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone through so much trouble. Of course, this reason wasn't very clear. Perhaps they wanted to know something from Hoffman's consciousness, so they couldn't kill him directly. However, they couldn't expel his consciousness directly either. Perhaps they wanted to capture his character in the game.
There were two possibilities for Hoffman to end up like this. One was that the company's people had done it, and the other was that he had done it himself. If the company's people did it, it was obvious that they wanted to know something from Hoffman's consciousness. Then, they would use some special means to obtain it. The by-product of this method was to make Hoffman end up like this. It was also possible that Hoffman did it himself. For example, after being captured, he found a way to escape. However, he also knew that the company's people would continue to capture him. Hence, he found a way to preserve his DNA and even memory files.
However, there was one thing that was difficult to explain, and that was the company's situation. Yes, the company didn't remove Hoffman's authority at all. This was very strange. What was even stranger was the promotional video here. The promotional video was modified at the end. Otherwise, Li Huailin wouldn't know this information. The person who modified the promotional video must be Hoffman. However, the problem was that once the promotional video was played once, people would know that there was a problem with it. If the company's people checked it a little, they would know that there was a problem with the promotional video. Of course, they would change it back or delete it.
In theory, no one would do such a boring thing. After all, they would be discovered immediately unless the person who did it knew that the company's people wouldn't watch the promotional video. Of course, this was generally impossible. Under the normal operation of the company, it was very normal to find a visitor to watch the promotional video. Hence, they would be discovered at that time. Unless Hoffman already knew that no one in the company would watch the promotional video when he modified it, because he knew that the people in the company should have disappeared.
Yes, where did the entire company go? That was also a problem. From the situation that Li Huailin saw in the company before, the internal situation of the company was very clean and tidy, but the courtyard was in a mess. In other words, apart from the area that was automatically cleaned, the other places had been left unattended for a long time. The people inside had disappeared for a long time. Where did they go? What exactly happened to the company? Li Huailin felt that it was really hard to guess.
However, after communicating with the deicide, Li Huailin roughly deduced some directions. From the information he had previously obtained, Li Huailin knew that about a thousand years ago, many NPCs with independent thoughts had appeared. These NPCs included Bryans, and of course, there were also the God Slayers. There were also some people who researched and communicated with their "gods", such as Gamela's ancestor.
Lin Li learned from the godslayers that the people from the Paradise Company had also discovered the news, and thus sent people to get rid of the NPCs. Those people should be the employees of the company who were in charge of the server's operations, including Hoffman.
The result after the deactivation was that the group of NPCs who communicated with the "God" had all disappeared. They were probably eliminated. Now that he thought about it, the so-called "God" that they wanted to communicate with was probably the "core" of the system. If a character in the game suddenly wanted to communicate with the system god, the people in the company would definitely have to figure out what was going on. So, they sent people to do some research and then got rid of them. However, at this time, there was an accident, and that was Hoffman. Nobody knew what this guy was thinking, but anyway, he got involved with the object of his research. It was probably because of this reason that Hoffman investigated the situation of the company, and found the so-called secret, which was the Ark Project.
As a result, this matter was exposed, and the people in the company began to want to deal with Hoffman. Hoffman directly escaped into the game, and maybe he even obtained some information that the company could not give up. Anyway, the company sent people to chase after him, and then captured Hoffman.
What happened after that was really hard to deduce. Yes, when did Hoffman leave that video, when and under what circumstances did the people in the company disappear, and how did Hoffman turn into a lamp? This was really a situation that Lin Li did not understand.
Of course, Li Huailin did not understand, and neither did the deicide here. That was all the information that Li Huailin got from this guy. As for what kind of person Hoffman was, Li Huailin was not interested in listening to her. It seemed that Li Huailin still had to go to the company to find other information himself. Hence, it was better to wait for the results of Zhang Youdong's research.
However, after thinking about it, Li Huailin felt that the deicide here was still useful. Yes, she was a participant in the world trial after all. She might be of some use in the final trial. Previously, Li Huailin did not want to accept this guy because he could not be sure of her loyalty. She had her own agenda, so it was impossible for her to join his side sincerely. Moreover, he could not be sure of the color of her name. Even if he raised her favorability to the max, would she give up on resurrecting her lover for him? This was really something that Li Huailin could not be sure about, but now, Li Huailin had an idea. Yes, he had inexplicably found the weakness of the deicide. Not only could he threaten her, but he could also make her give up on her own agenda.
"Your information is very useful. Now, tell me about why you want to join me." Li Huailin said, "Although that's the case, you still won't give up on resurrecting Hoffman, right?"
"That's … for sure." The deicide thought for a while, and felt that her answer was not very good. Yes, wasn't it obvious that she would not give up on the chance to win? How was she going to convince Li Huailin to let her join him?
"What if I can resurrect Hoffman?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
"Huh?" The deicide was stunned. Of course, she was shocked by Li Huailin's words.
"Aren't you curious about why I know Hoffman? In fact, I know some things about his company now. Of course, I also want to know what the secret that Hoffman found out about back then was. However, it seems that only Hoffman would know about it. Hence, I found some things that belonged to Hoffman. With these things, I should be able to resurrect Hoffman and get some information from him, "said Li Huailin.
"What?" The deicide was shocked. Her face was filled with shock, joy, and doubt. Obviously, she hoped that what Li Huailin said was true, but she did not dare to believe it. Yes, if what Li Huailin said was true, she would not have to win the world trial. To be honest, she did not believe that she could win. After seeing the combat power of the Godking and Li Huailin, the deicide was really desperate. It would be best if she could achieve her goal even if she could not win. However, the problem was that she was worried that Li Huailin was lying to her. Maybe he was just lying to make her feel at ease and help her.
Of course, Li Huailin could also see the deicide's doubts. He said, "Of course I don't have time to lie to you. If I told you that I would resurrect Hoffman after you help me, it would indeed seem like a lie. However, I'm telling you now that my goal is to find out the secrets of his company from Hoffman. Hence, I want to resurrect him. I should be able to do it before the world trial begins. In fact, we have already started doing it now."
"Really?" After hearing Li Huailin's words, the deicide was a little convinced.
"You should be able to see the results in two days, but …" said Li Huailin as he looked at the deicide.
"As long as you can resurrect Hoffman, I'm willing to do anything for you," the deicide immediately said after understanding what Li Huailin meant.
"Really? Can I sleep with you? "Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Uh … This …"
"Alright, stop joking. I'm not interested in you." Li Huailin waved his hand, and said, "However, if this succeeds, you have to listen to my arrangements."
"Alright, I promise you," said the deicide.
If Zhang Youdong's experiment was successful, Li Huailin believed that the deicide would be willing to cooperate. Hence, Li Huailin dared to use her now. Hence, Li Huailin patted the deicide's shoulder and returned to the shrine. He then dragged the deicide into the shrine. Of course, he only placed her in the square, and did not give her permission to enter any other place.
"You will stay here for the next two days. You cannot leave this place," Li Huailin said to the deicide. Li Huailin said to the God Slayer. "Once you leave this place, I will treat it as you reporting to the God King. By then, any promise between us will no longer be valid."
"Alright, I won't leave." Li Huailin was very careful. However, the deicide would definitely not go to the Godly King. She was very afraid of the Godly King.
After saying all this, Li Huailin also called the Protoss beside him and asked them to keep an eye on the deicide. He then went to the staff dormitory to greet Bryant and Zhang Youdong, who were doing experiments. He told them about the news that he just heard from the deicide, and also asked them to keep an eye on the deicide. Bryant had the authority to enter the main shrine, so of course he could kick the deicide out in time. In theory, there should not be any problems.
After asking about the progress of the experiment, there was still no movement. The experiment had not even started, and the equipment was not ready yet. It would probably take a long time. Honestly speaking, the two did not know if they could finish it in two days.
Li Huailin could only hope that the two could finish it in time. On the other hand, Li Huailin decided to find a place to train his abilities. Yes, the abilities of his [Origin], as well as the skills that he had just obtained. After all, he was not used to using them. For the next few days, Li Huailin did not plan to go offline to sleep. Yes, the Godly King could invade the shrine at any time. Li Huailin was slightly worried that the Godly King would appear after he went offline. So after some thought, he decided to stay online. After all, he could sleep in the game. However, as mentioned before, Li Huailin was not used to it. After greeting Bryans and the others, Li Huailin told them to contact him directly if there was anything. He then found a place to practice his skills.
