He didn't expect to enter fury here.
Jiang Chen coldly scanned the bodies without flashing red dots, ignored the pairs of hollow eyes staring at him, and finally stopped at Yao Tingting.
Zhao Peng lying in a pool of blood, the teacher pressed on the ground, the students, the soldiers …
No heart.
Everyone was fake, as if they were empty shells.
Including Yao Tingting.
"Oh? How did you know? "Yao Tingting was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled and stood up naked.
It was a strange scene. A naked girl stood there with a smile, and beside her was a ferocious beast pouncing at her. However, that animal was nailed in mid-air.
Jiang Chen coldly stared into Yao Tingting's eyes as he said emotionlessly.
"Because I have a very troublesome ability, and you guys don't have a heart."
Yao Tingting paused for a moment before she revealed her signature smile. She then drew a line in the air with her slender fingers, and a holographic panel appeared out of thin air beside her.
"Mhmm … so that's how it is. Three body indexes rising, and I can 'see' the heart? This is a discordant bug. "Yao Tingting examined the parameters on the panel as a devilish smile appeared on her face.
"Hehe, although I had a lot of guesses, I didn't expect this to be a game, right?" Jiang Chen stared at the beautiful and pure face as he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. "Snitch?"
Until now, he finally understood the problem that had bothered him before. The [Brain Cell Activity + 17] from fury was not an effect that increased his intelligence, but it simply allowed his brain to break through the blockage of his memory and awaken from the game.
"Hehe, pretty much, but I am the secret protector. Then, maybe it's time to start the next round? "Yao Tingting clapped her hands with a smile.
Secret protector? There are two "people"?
From time to time, the sounds of explosions coming from the sky came to an abrupt halt. It was as if the flames of war in the world outside the window had been stopped by this applause.
The colors of the world began to peel off, starting from the corners of the stadium, turning into fragments and dissipating bit by bit.
"Do you still want to continue this boring game?" Jiang Chen sneered and said in disdain.
"Why not?"
The silver bell-like laughter was so ear-piercing.
"I look forward to your performance in the next round …" Yao Tingting looked at Jiang Chen one last time before she disappeared from the world along with the scenery.
Really?
He glanced at his wrist. The ability of the Interdimensional Bracelet wasn't copied, which meant that he couldn't activate the ability to return to the modern world in the game.
He could only rely on other methods to get out of this predicament …
The floor had already collapsed. Jiang Chen curled his lips in disdain and quietly watched his body dissipate into nothingness along with the flying debris …
…
June 11, 2171, Summer.
Only the date was scribbled on the diary, and the text had not yet been written.
The temporary dizziness was like a nap, and everything that happened just now was like a daydream.
Jiang Chen threw away the pen in his hand and scanned the "familiar" room.
"Fury didn't deactivate."
"The memory didn't erase. Is it because of the increased brain cell activity?" Jiang Chen closed his eyes and searched for clues in his memory.
The memory before entering the game was retained, the memory of the N round was retained, and the memory of the N-1 round was lost.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes and shifted his gaze from the diary to the electronic watch on the table.
"So, this is the starting point of the game. Then all the memories before are fake. "
To be honest, it was not a good feeling to deny all the memories that existed in his mind. It was like you were living well, and one night you suddenly had a nightmare. The mysterious person in the dream told you that this was reality, and when you woke up, you would enter a virtual world.
"Yao Tingting is the secret protector … No, to be precise, she was replaced by the secret protector at some point in time." The book was a clue, and Jiang Chen tried to search for the details in his memory. It seemed that when he said the word "spoiler", the secret protector sensed something was wrong. But it was just a sense of déjà vu, and it assumed that I "recovered my memory"?
It seemed that from then on, the book in Yao Tingting's hand disappeared.
That was when the secret protector changed.
"I see. Because they suspected that I woke up from the hypnosis, they replaced Yao Tingting's existence and joined the game as a participant?"
In that case, anyone could become the so-called secret keeper.
[Wait, what is the meaning of this game?]
Jiang Chen frowned as he quietly sat on the chair and recalled the diary in the activity room on the second floor of the library.
And what Yao Tingting said.
"I know." "I've been following you for a long time."
And the identity of the secret protector and the secret informant …
All the clues were strung together, and like a key, it opened a switch in his mind.
With a curvature on his mouth, he leaned back on the chair.
[That diary should be the clue. No wonder the secret protector tried to stop me from approaching the library.] [Whenever I approached the library, it would use all sorts of methods to stop me.
Whether it was the so-called ghost in the library or the sudden appearance of the security guard.]
But what the secret protector didn't know was that the more they tried to hide, the more suspicious they would be. It could be said that the obstruction pushed him closer to the truth.
Even if he erased the memory in his mind, he couldn't erase the strong sense of déjà vu.
[Where did I see this before? I seem to have been there before? I seem to have experienced it before …]
Whether it was the drama that was probably already airing, or the activity room that was wide open, everything was filled with a sense of déjà vu. Perhaps he had been there before, but because he couldn't retain his memory, he entered the next cycle in confusion.
[Force Reopen] could seal the memory and cut off the clues, but it couldn't erase the strong sense of déjà vu. Finally, this feeling led him to find the clues he collected in the previous cycle.
Then because he entered fury in the N cycle, the clues were preserved until the N + 1 cycle.
If he couldn't jump out of this cycle, the game would continue.
"Hehe, how is this a game? It's insane."
[A game with the purpose of experimentation. Inhumanely throwing people into the game as lab rats, simulating scenarios, collecting data, and evolving intermediate artificial intelligence to advanced artificial intelligence?] [Is this the experiment mentioned at the end of the captain's diary?]
Jiang Chen calmly thought about it.
But there were still many suspicious points. For example, if the secret protector was the absolute controller of the game, then there was no way he could beat it.
But the lousy cleaning robot, the open activity room, the diary as a clue, these obvious bugs weren't cleared after each cycle and were completely preserved. The secret protector even had to actively intervene in the plot to interfere with my actions and prevent me from approaching the library.
In other words, the secret protector's authority was similar to the GM, but it couldn't change the game itself.
If the purpose of the game's existence was to allow it to observe humans and collect data to evolve into advanced artificial intelligence, then it didn't make sense to give it the ability to change the game itself. It was like doing an experiment. If the measured data was "not good" and you added one or two zeros, would it still be called an experiment?
Its ability was limited, and it wasn't an invincible god.
Jiang Chen picked up the pen, drew three circles on the diary, and wrote on each of them.
Safe zone, neutral zone, danger zone.
"If I do something" illogical ", everyone in the school will look at me like a robot. Because of confusion, the thinking process will trigger the uncanny valley effect. Intermediate artificial intelligence may have the ability to analyze, but the computational load will cause "lag"? Or "confusion"? But basic artificial intelligence can only respond logically and can't think, so it won't produce "confusion" or anything like that. Therefore, the NPCs should all be low-level artificial intelligence. "Jiang Chen murmured to himself as he wrote the school in the danger zone.
"Yao Tingting can't enter the activity room on the second floor of the library, so it should be the safe zone." Jiang Chen wrote it in the safe zone.
"NATO's invasion should be an event? That's right, if there is a need to collect data, then the secret protector should control the "switch" to push the plot forward. Otherwise, the cycle will only produce the same data. "This was an important point, so Jiang Chen wrote it down in his notebook.
He opened the drawer and saw two movie tickets. A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
"If nothing out of the ordinary happened, then the plot should be a confession, a movie, a confession, being together, a possible push down, and NATO's invasion. From the budding of feelings to maturity, and then to deterioration, it's a complete simulation. If that's the case, then any scenario that could trigger the plot should be in the "danger zone" under the absolute control of the secret protector. "
Yao Tingting's home, a movie theater that he had never been to, were all written in the danger zone.
Because last week's plot was incomplete, that was the only clue he had. Jiang Chen looked around the room and grinned. He wrote "the protagonist's home" in the safe zone.
"The street should be the so-called neutral zone. No plot has been triggered." Jiang Chen turned the pen and wrote the street in the neutral zone. He then looked at his watch.
It exceeded the maximum duration of half an hour, but fury didn't end. In other words, the flow of time in the game was not the same as the flow of time in the real world. From an efficiency perspective, the longer the user spent in the game, the shorter the time in the real world. This way, the more data could be collected in the real world.
[Maybe I experienced N cycles in the game, but only one or two seconds passed in the real world?] [With the speed of the computer in the future, this is definitely possible, although the load on the brain would be a bit too much.]
Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief when he thought about this. The time they agreed on was two hours. If he stayed down there for a month or two, it would be too late when he returned to the surface.
[Speaking of which, since he made me activate fury, does that chatterbox still think he can win?]
A curvature appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
That's right, in a game that relied on hypnosis, fury that increased brain cell activity was the biggest bug in the game.
Brainwashing would no longer work on him.
So now, the "game" officially began.
