"The problem now is that I don't know what condition I should fulfill." Roddy took a bite of the bread. "The first time we entered, it was because you cast a dagger, and the 'key' that came out was the test in my memory. This time … do we need to find something in this world that you remember? "
"No, when we entered this world, you used the 'Wings of the Ice Dragon' and I used the 'Magician's Hand', which means that both of us broke the rules. Maybe we need to fulfill two conditions."
Kardashian had been thinking about this for the whole night. She turned her eyes to the wall. "But if there's something I'm familiar with, I want to ask, why does this Earthbreaker look exactly the same as the place we came from?"
This was actually the biggest problem, and it was also one of the things that Roddy found the most difficult to explain. But in order to leave the 'prison of time and space', he decided not to hide anything and told her the truth. "In fact, Earthbreaker is a game developed by a game company on Earth …"
The process of transmigration was not complicated, but the explanation of 'Earth' was something that was difficult to explain. The two talked as they ate. After dinner, Roddy went to make a pot of tea and brought a pen and paper to continue explaining. After about two hours, Kardashian finally had a basic understanding of this world.
"According to what you said … even my existence seems to be fake?"
Kardashian did not show any expression of being 'subverted'. She looked indifferent, and her mind was racing. Because they were on different sides, she would not doubt the world she lived in. In other words, if Roddy could think that the world she lived in was fake, then Kardashian could also think that the Earth that Roddy lived in was fake.
Didn't the facts prove one point? The world that Roddy could not find a flaw in was created by the 'prison of time and space'. Then who could be sure that … the world that Roddy lived in was not an illusion created by another civilization?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Roddy couldn't help but shiver. "I don't understand what's going on either, but since you're standing in front of me and talking to me, I naturally can't say that you're fake."
His words sounded helpless, but the discussion about whether the world was real or fake gave him a breakthrough point. "Oh right, I haven't logged into the game since I came to the Space-time Prison. The biggest difference between us is that we come from different worlds, and Earth Breaker should be one of the bridges …"
As he spoke, he walked to the gaming cabin in his bedroom. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was. However, when he picked up the gaming helmet, he suddenly froze and put it down.
"What happened?"
Kardashian, who followed them in, was a little curious. Roddy pondered for a moment with a dignified expression and said, "No … the two groups of people we dealt with yesterday might be a little troublesome."
"Didn't they fail to follow us? What is there to worry about now? "
As she spoke, she walked to the bedroom window and stretched. There was no wind today, but because of the strong wind yesterday, they could still see the blue sky. Kardashian reached out to tuck her long gray hair behind her ear and casually sat on Roddy's bed. "Why? Do you think they'll find us if we hide here?"
"This world is different. It's easy for people like me, who don't have any power, to track us down."
Although Roddy was an otaku, "otaku" also meant that he spent a lot of time online. He read a lot and had a basic understanding of most of the world's information. Therefore, he was very clear that if someone like Zhao Hongwen wanted to investigate him, he could basically do it with just a word.
"The people on Weibo already know my account. If I log into the game, it's very easy for them to track my login location." Roddy felt a little headache, and his words sounded like he was talking to himself. "It's not that I can't use a proxy IP address, but those paparazzi seem to know where I live … This is more troublesome."
"It's not safe here? Then let's go out? I'm quite curious about how big this' space-time prison 'is. "
Kardashian, on the other hand, was not as depressed as Rody. As she spoke, her eyes lit up. She was not used to staying at home all day. If she could go out with this guy to see the strange and interesting world, she would be more than happy.
"Going out … is not easy. You don't have an ID, let alone a passport. Even if you want to fake it, there's no way."
Trains, planes, and even long-distance buses now required an ID to buy a ticket. Otherwise, they would not even be able to enter the station. Roddy was not a gangster with a wide network of friends. He was really helpless in this kind of problem. Perhaps a student ID could make do with the kind of ID that could be obtained from a telephone pole on the street, but a passport was impossible.
Drive by myself? Roddy's parents had left him a Toyota Camry. He also had a driver's license, and his parents had taken it out for a self-driving trip before. But after his parents passed away, the car was basically left in the parking lot of the neighborhood to collect dust. It was used less than 10 times a year, just to prevent the battery from running out of power.
This sounded like a good idea. After all, no matter how powerful Zhao Hongwen was, he probably would not use the state machinery to surround him for a woman. This kind of rich man could use his connections to get help from the police system, but it was too exaggerated to want to track him like a case. After all, sometimes the so-called "anti-tracking", to a large extent, was to increase the other party's "tracking cost" and eventually force them to give up.
Roddy seriously thought about the feasibility of this, and unknowingly became a little lost in thought. Kardashian did not know what he was thinking. Sitting on Roddy's bed, she was curiously looking around. Yesterday morning, she pinched Roddy's nose and scared him half to death. She was so busy apologizing that she did not have time to see what else was in the room. At this moment, looking around, the bedroom was clean and tidy, but a commemorative painting of "Earth Splitting" hung on the wall made her eyes narrow …
The style of this painting was a little rough, even clumsy. It was more similar to the religious themes of the early Middle Ages in Europe. The figures of people, elves, dwarves, and Dragons in the painting were not exquisite, and some places were even large pieces of blurred paint, making it difficult to distinguish the details. But the theme was very clear: various races surrounded a beam of light in the center of the painting, and this light fell from the sky, representing the "God" of "Earth Splitting".
As for which God? Roddy had searched for information before, and there were many opinions on the Internet, but most people pointed to "Goddess Si Qi", the "God" often mentioned by the people of the Kingdom of Karen.
Staring at the oil painting for a while, Kardashian finally asked, "Where did this painting come from?"
Roddy was thinking about the key points of driving out, so he glanced at the oil painting and replied without thinking much, "Ah? This oil painting, it was a gift when I bought the game capsule. This thing is 3D printed, so it looks like a real oil painting, but it is not a real painting. "
In this day and age, 3D printing was very cheap. A game capsule cost more than 10,000 yuan, so giving a fake oil painting as a souvenir was just a gimmick. But Kardashian's voice was much more solemn, "I know it is a fake because I have seen the real one."
"You have seen … what?"
Roddy was stunned, and his eyes also looked at the oil painting, "Where have I seen it? Is it exactly the same? "
"This is not a human painting. It should be from a civilization that is older than the High Elves. It is placed in the main palace of 'Katos' — that is where all the Dragons open when they make important decisions. It is also known as the 'Temple of the Gods.'"
"With my strength, I cannot enter the core of the Temple of the Gods. Every time, only demigod lords or others are qualified to enter … This is a secret that most of the members of the Dragons do not know. I went there once with my father, and this painting was placed in the corridor of the palace. It is said to be an ancient painting from the era of the gods. It was collected by the Green Dragon Lords many generations ago. "
This made Roddy realize the seriousness of the problem. He frowned and asked, "Lord Victor knows the meaning of that light?"
Kardashian squinted her eyes as she recalled what her father had said. "There are only demigods on the continent now, and there are no real gods. That beam of light belonged to a god in the early days. He was called 'Corsius', but the language at that time was not perfect. After several civilizations recorded it, the name kept losing its authenticity. So far, it has become 'Siqi' in the human's mouth."
It seemed that the players' judgment of the light was correct. In Roddy's memory, many people shouted "Goddess Si Qi above" and such. However, he was not confused about the content of the painting. Instead, he was confused about why this painting became a 'Collector's Edition Commemorative Accessory'. The world of Earthbreaker was too big. Due to the use of the quantum computer, every detail in the game was far more detailed than any other MMORPG. This was also the main reason why the game was so popular.
However, 'Katos' was obviously not a place that players could come into contact with. Only the Dragons knew about the existence of this painting. So why did the game company pick this painting from such a remote place?
Who would dare to say that this was a coincidence?
For a moment, Roddy had doubts about the game itself. He only knew that it was developed by a large multinational corporation. It was said that there were tens of thousands of people in the design team, and the production time was more than six years … Not to mention the details that no one would pay attention to, the languages of the different races in Earthbreaker formed their own system. One had to know that until now, no game company had specially developed a language just to suit the characters in the game …
Tolkien had spent decades writing the Elvish language of 'Lord of the Rings'. How could a game come up with seven or eight languages in six years? Moreover, they were not even from the same language family. The differences were obvious.
