Ye Zichen listened to Bai Feng's words.
Ye Zichen's heart trembled.
Dead.
She died in reality?
This …
The way he looked at Bai Feng clearly indicated that he was serious about this matter.
Ye Zichen's heart raced.
"Hahaha, look at how scared you are."
Suddenly, White Phoenix, who had been keeping a straight face, burst into laughter.
Ye Zichen, who'd felt his heart clench, let out a long sigh.
"You're scaring me."
To be honest, Ye Zichen had nearly believed her.
"Who's scaring you? I'm telling the truth."
To his surprise, after Ye Zichen relaxed, Bai Feng insisted on what she'd just said.
Ye Zichen had already fallen for it once.
How could he believe her again?
"That's enough."
"Look at the forums yourself." Bai Feng twitched her mouth. "Why would I use such a thing to scare you? Haven't you noticed that there are a lot fewer players in the newbie village?"
Ye Zichen hadn't paid much attention.
When he went online, there were still quite a few players in the newbie village.
Perhaps a bit less than before.
But it wasn't like players had to stay in the newbie village. They could go out and fight monsters.
A few fewer people wasn't anything worth noticing.
"Really?"
Ye Zichen still didn't quite believe it. No matter what, this was a virtual game.
If you died here, you would die in reality too.
Who would play this?
What's more, it wasn't realistic.
"F * ck, have you humans gone mad?"
Suddenly, Bei Li shouted in Ye Zichen's mind.
The shriek nearly shattered Ye Zichen's eardrums.
"What is it?"
"Are you sure this is a game?" Bei Li's tone was solemn. "Why do I feel like … No way? If you humans had such an ability, all the other races could just bow down to you."
"What are you talking about?"
Bei Li's words were so confusing that Ye Zichen didn't understand at all.
He started from binding it.
This guy was always making a fuss. Otherwise, he'd make a fuss. He was crazy.
Ye Zichen just assumed that he'd been stifled for too long.
Perhaps there was something wrong with his mind.
"Check the forums for me. Find posts about gamers dying in real life."
Not even half a second later ….
Countless posts appeared in front of Ye Zichen's eyes.
[Game or reality? What is the Virtual World Corporation trying to do?]
[Human lives are treated like grass. Death in a game will affect the real world.]
[Written in blood by a person, requesting the Virtual World Corporation to come forward and explain.]
[What on earth is the Paragon Association doing? The Virtual World Corporation has gone crazy. Aren't they doing anything about it?]
"This …"
"This is the post you wanted," Bailey replied.
Ye Zichen gulped, then opened the threads one by one.
Ye Zichen was unable to read through hundreds of thousands of posts at all, so he spent more than two hours reading them …
"How is that possible?"
This was the only thing he could say.
People could actually die in the game.
As for the theory of a dead person, the first post happened after the game had just been updated …
Three players formed a party to fight monsters.
After one of the players was killed by a wild monster, he never came online again.
They didn't notice it at first.
Leave a message on the virtual network.
They didn't get a reply for a long time, but they didn't care.
In the universe, it was normal to not log into the virtual network for a few days or even a few months.
Even though the game made by the Virtual World Corporation was very good.
People were very surprised that the in-game currency and equipment could be withdrawn, but most of them still focused on the real world.
Not long later.
The two remaining players dropped a piece of equipment that was suitable for the player who died to wear.
Then, they left a message, only to find out …
The virtual network account had already been logged out.
Logged out!
There was only one possibility in the virtual network, and that was that the person had already died.
That wasn't the main reason why people suspected the Virtual World Corporation.
Death.
It was very common in the universe.
They might have died while carrying out a mission. That was something that could be explained.
The problem was after that.
A large number of similar posts suddenly appeared on the forums. At the start, people were crying about their best friends leaving, and wanted to seek some comfort from the posts.
Gradually …
As the number of posts increased, everyone started to notice a common point.
People who died.
All of them suddenly went offline after dying in the game, then their virtual network accounts were deleted.
One or two people could be a coincidence.
One hundred or two hundred people could be accepted.
Ten thousand or twenty thousand people. Looking at the human population of the 3,080 universe countries, it wasn't impossible for it to be a coincidence.
But a million or ten million people …
Was it still a coincidence?
Thoughts of killing people in the game started to appear on the forums.
When such a theory appeared, there were still a lot of people who denied it.
Death in the game meant death in reality.
This was simply impossible.
In order to confirm whether death in the game would affect reality, a group of people who wanted to reveal the truth appeared on the forums.
They killed themselves in the game.
Then, they asked their friends to pay attention. In the end, they came to a conclusion …
Death in the game meant death in reality.
That was true!
Some people instantly logged off to check on their friends after they died in the game with their own eyes.
The result was very tragic.
That friend had already died in reality!
The moment this news was confirmed, it caused a huge uproar on the forums.
It wasn't just the Second World's gaming forum.
Many forums were flooded by this news.
The number of Second World players decreased drastically. No one was willing to play such a crazy game.
Of course, there were still a lot of players who stayed.
They treasured their lives even more.
All of a sudden, Ye Zichen thought of the person who stole the equipment.
No wonder he kept kowtowing and begging Ye Zichen to not kill him.
He was going to jail!
So …
He was afraid of dying in reality as well.
"Did the Virtual World Corporation go crazy?" Ye Zichen stared straight ahead. "Death in the game means death in reality. Wh … What are they trying to do?"
"You see?"
Bai Feng started to carve on the ground with a dagger.
"I haven't chased after the people from the Overlord Alliance for the past few days. No matter what, they are humans, I don't want them to die."
"How is that possible?" Ye Zichen still couldn't believe it. "How can a game affect the safety of reality? How do people die?"
"Don't forget how we logged into the virtual network," Bai Feng hit the nail on the head.
All of a sudden, Ye Zichen was stunned.
Logging into the virtual network required a mental connection.
"Actually, I thought about it a long time ago. If the Virtual World Corporation wanted to, they really could instantly destroy the entire human race," Bai Feng's words were like a nuclear bomb.
It exploded on Ye Zichen's chest.
All of a sudden …
Destroy the entire human race.
