Beyond the beautiful 'Oasis' game, which is popular among countless people on earth, is the year 2045, a real world that is increasingly on the verge of chaos and collapse due to the gap between rich and poor, lack of resources, turmoil, plague, economic collapse and various reasons. Earth……
At this time, in this dilapidated residential building converted from an abandoned factory, Artemis and Parsifal were on their rooftop balcony, decorated like a small garden. In general, you can directly see the IOI headquarters and the container RV area in the slum being busy on the roof, and trying to prepare something that seems to be used to entertain guests.
In fact, they don’t have anything very good here, that is, some things that may be delicious, such as snacks, biscuits, nuts, and fresh ones, such as a small number of strawberries and tomatoes grown in greenhouses in the balcony garden. Just crops.
Of course, it may not be appropriate to call them Artemis or Parsifal, which are too middle-class game names? Because, their names are actually Samantha Cook and Wade Watts! And this place is the secret base of Samantha and her like-minded rebels who are determined to resist the 'tyranny' and monopoly 'rule' of IOI Online Creative Company.
Here, there are at least dozens of their teammates, old and young, and most of them are poor people who have been persecuted by IOI, or whose family members are being persecuted by IOI, and then have to resist or intend to change their tragic fate.
"??"
"Samantha? I just wanted to ask because I didn't understand. Don't we need to enter the game today?"
"Edge just sent me a message to tell me!"
"People from IOI and other easter egg hunters seem to have discovered the fact that we entered "The Shining" and obtained the key. Now that secret is an open secret, and we don't need to rush to crack it. What’s the last medical clue?”
Wade Watts, who was helping the other party pack his things, suddenly asked curiously, because he really didn't know what kind of holiday today was and why such things were arranged.
If they wanted to celebrate a victory, when they got the second key, didn't they already celebrate with extra meals and dishes the night before? Therefore, he felt that it was best for them to decipher the last clue and get the last key while they still had a certain advantage, so as to find Halliday's easter egg!
Otherwise, once IOI's 'Sixth Man' or other Easter egg hunters get the second key and catch up, all their efforts will be in vain.
"No!"
"not needed for now!"
"Because today we have to wait for a guest who is very, very important to me and all of us!!"
Looking at the things that should be prepared, the food and drink seemed to have been prepared. After there was nothing missing for the time being, Samantha Cook breathed a sigh of relief, then clapped her hands and said lightly.
"!!"
"Non-very important guest?"
Seeing the other party paying so much attention and looking full of expectations, Wade Watts suddenly felt a little unhappy for some reason, and his mood instantly became depressed... Then, after that, After thinking for a while, he reluctantly resisted an impulse, forced an ugly smile on his face, swallowed his saliva, and asked angrily:
"That……"
"Who could that guest be?!"
No one likes to see the girl they like excitedly preparing for the arrival of someone else, and Wade is certainly the same!
Because he was shocked to discover that Samantha seemed to have specially styled her hair today. After straightening her long curly hair, her colleague cleverly used her hair to cover the birthmark on the right side of her cheek, and even replaced it with A skirt that only covered his knees that he had never seen before?
"Wade!"
"How about you take a guess?"
Samantha didn't notice Wade's increasingly disgusting expression, and she didn't directly tell him who it was. She just acted like a little girl and playfully asked Wade with a side face and winked. Blinking, her charm increased even more.
"..."
Wade didn't guess, he just stood silently without speaking, as if there was a big stone stuck in his chest.
"Hey~!"
"Actually, there is no one else. Of course it can only be the daughter of darkness, our friend in the game!!"
After showing a big sincere smile towards the other party, Samantha Cook turned around and once again inspected the things she had carefully prepared.
She has decided to entertain the other party well first, and then, after finding out the other party's identity and family background, if possible, she must work hard to invite the other party to join them and join them to overthrow and subvert the monopoly of IOI Online Creative Company. Come to the great cause of taking tyranny as your own responsibility!
"ah?"
"who is it?!"
As if he couldn't believe it, or maybe he didn't hear clearly, Wade Watts confirmed again.
"That's little Anne! Anne Hastur!"
“No. 1 on the easter egg ranking list!!”
Samantha Cook, who felt Wade was a little weird, turned around and repeated it, and after looking her good friend up and down, she turned around again in confusion.
"!!"
"Samantha, did you really invite her here?!"
"Yes! Why not?"
"But...but we don't know her well. She has never given us any information..."
"Wade, what do you want to say?"
"No……"
"I don't mean anything else, Samantha. You know, we don't know anything about her. Isn't it too dangerous to invite her (him) so rashly?"
"Maybe?"
"But after discussion, we felt that we could take the risk. Anyway, we have basically confirmed that she is definitely not with IOI Company, so that's fine!"
"ah?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No, no, that's true, but..."
Thinking about those rumors and what a little girl player had done to IOI, Wade frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded reluctantly, because he himself felt that the little girl was unlikely to be the same as IOI. The guys are in a group, which can be explained by their behavior and the fact that they beat IOI to death several times when they were caught.
"Wade..."
"Tell me, how great would it be if Annie were a handsome guy?"
Suddenly, when she thought that the other party would come here to meet her soon, Samantha couldn't help but feel a little bit crazy and fanciful.
Because whether the opponent is PK, PVE, or looking for Halliday's easter egg, the skills displayed are the top level in the 'Oasis', and a powerful guy like that is undoubtedly very attractive to Saman. Lisa's attention and the inexplicable surge of good feelings in her.
"!!"
"No! You are wrong!"
"What Edge said is that she is just an ignorant little girl who has never changed her appearance and directly uses the 3D model scanned by herself to play games!"
Wade, who didn't know why, felt a little sore in his heart, suddenly refuted the other party's words in a low voice, and became even more resentful and dissatisfied with the arrival of a certain 'little girl'.
"No way?"
"How does Edge know? He has never seen Annie with his own eyes. What if Annie is really a handsome guy? Think about it, how could a little girl play better than us, or even better than the entire 'Oasis' game?" The vast majority of the players here are even better, and they have even played tricks on several big game guilds and IOI Sixth Man guys, and in the end they were able to escape without a trace?!"
As she talked, Samantha became more and more certain that a certain 'little girl' was definitely more than just a little girl. She was also sure that even if the other person was not a handsome boy, she would be a wise and courageous adult?
As for whether the other party was a boy or a girl, she was really not sure.
"..."
Feeling a little bitter in his heart, he opened his mouth. For some reason, Wade suddenly didn't want to talk. He had a vague premonition that today would be a very bad day!
He suddenly thought that if he saw the 'little girl' later and found out that she was really as handsome as Samantha thought, then he should go to the game by himself and have a game Out of sight?
'You don't have to guess! '
'I've brought her! Come in quickly, they are waiting for you here, Your Excellency, the Great Daughter of Darkness? '
At this time, before Samantha and Wade could continue to speculate and argue, one of her men, the middle-aged man with a beard and a Mediterranean tattoo, suddenly came to the garden on the rooftop balcony and moved toward the two of them. After saying hello, he waved directly behind him to ask a certain 'Daughter of Darkness' who was following him to come out to meet his old friends who had been waiting here for a long time?
For their leader, Samantha Cook, to actually know the number one person in the Oasis, they, as subordinates, are somewhat honored! Of course, the only pity is that the other party's age may indeed be a little bit younger, which has slightly affected their self-confidence and made them feel a little more ashamed?
After all, so many adults can't seem to play with a kid who looks less than ten years old. It's really embarrassing to say it out loud.
"..."
|˛˙꒳˙)?
"Hi~!"
(๑•̀▽•́ฅ)
"Hello everyone!"
(∩▽∩)
In fact, for Anne, it was a bit embarrassing to meet the unfamiliar-looking Miss Artemis and the annoying Parsifal directly in the real material world, because she knew them from the game. These two people are not these two strangers in the real world!
However, since she had already come, and since the other party extended a warm invitation, she had no choice but to reluctantly accept the invitation, and was teleported over from the other side of the earth in a 'whoosh'.
'! ! '
'my God! '
'You...you actually scanned the appearance directly...'
When she saw a little girl appearing, not only her appearance was exactly the same as in the game, but even her clothes and the stuffed bear toy she was carrying had not changed at all. Seeing this, Samantha Cook was immediately shocked. , and then just stayed there, dumbfounded.
Because this is really hard to accept... She remembered that except for the years when Oasis first came out, she had rarely heard of anyone who dared to do it so blatantly. Do it and dare to cause trouble unscrupulously in the game!
'Wow! '
'It's... it's great! ! '
Unlike Samantha Cook who was a little shocked, a little frustrated and a little unbelievable, a certain young guy Wade Waugh suddenly became happy and energetic after seeing the person coming! Because he found that he suddenly lost an emotional competitor, and he didn't even mind that the other party often stole his limelight and took Samantha's attention away from him?
'Ahem! '
Seeing that his leader seemed a little out of sorts, the man with Mediterranean tattoos who led little Annie to the rooftop balcony pretended to cough twice, finally bringing a young girl back from her wandering mind.
"ah!"
"Sorry, Annie! I lost my temper..."
"I really didn't expect that you actually looked exactly like what Edge said you did in the game?"
"That really surprised me..."
"I'm Artemis, you can call me Samantha! This is Parsifal, you can call him Wade, Wade Watts!"
"Forget it, come here, we can chat while eating. I have prepared some things, and even wine...Ah! Sorry, I guess you can't drink?"
Samantha Cook came back to her senses and hurriedly came up to her with a smile, and then pulled a little girl who looked harmless and a little timid to walk to the large table of food she had just prepared. Let's have something to eat, drink some tea, and chat some more.
"Is there anything to eat?"
|•'-'•)✧
"Great, I'm sure I won't be polite to you!!"
ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)✧
Seeing the chic balcony garden with a large table full of food, Anne couldn't wait to rush over, then reached out and grabbed a handful of something she thought might be delicious. .
"Hello!"
"Annie, nice to meet you! I may have offended you a little during the game, I hope you don't mind too much?"
Maybe it's because he's in a good mood, or maybe he sees that the other person really doesn't pose any 'threat' to him? Therefore, Wade showed a rare big smile, and then sat down opposite the other party gracefully, and just watched Samantha entertain the other party enthusiastically.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
(*⊙~⊙)Hmm!
Anne just blinked, then glanced at the other person curiously, and expressed with her eyes that she was eating now and had no time to pay attention to the guy in front of her who she didn't seem to know very well.
(Report! Dear little master, there is something going on below...)
(●￣(ｴ)￣●)
(Before the bad little master could finish the snacks he caught, Tibbers the Bear reminded her in a very uninteresting way.)
"Eh?"
∑(´△｀)? !
Annie was a little confused. She was just here to meet netizens, which is what they call 'mianji'. Why did she say something was going on when she first came to Little Bear? You know, she seems to have restrained herself very much recently. Apart from killing people and setting fires in the game, she has never provoked others or done anything bad in the real world, right?
Of course, I haven’t done anything good anyway...
"??"
"Annie, what's wrong with you? Doesn't the food taste good?"
"How about a glass of juice?"
Seeing a certain little girl stop suddenly, Samantha thought that the other person didn't like the snacks, or that she ate too quickly and choked, so she quickly picked up a large glass of freshly squeezed juice and prepared to go towards the other person. Pass it over.
"!!"
"What?!"
Bang~!
However, in the next moment, before she could figure out why a certain little girl stopped, or before she handed the juice to the other person's hand, she was frightened by the noise coming from the stairs and a group of people rushing out. He exclaimed on the spot, and then the glass in his hand fell to his feet at the same time, and was smashed into a pool of fragments that splashed together with the juice.
'Well? ! '
'ha! very good! It seems that all the people Nolan is looking for are here...cuff me and take them away, and do it quickly! ! '
It turned out that at this time, a woman with black hair and black leather clothes rushed up, followed by a group of combatants wearing Kevlar combat uniforms and holding submachine guns in their hands. They quickly dispersed and pointed their guns at the people present. The three people and the Mediterranean tattooed uncle who had just been blocked from the stairs were clenching their fists and dared to be angry but dared not speak out, let alone take action.
"IOI?"
"Did you bring them here?!"
Seeing that such people from IOI Company came all of a sudden, and they were fully armed and holding weapons, Wade Watts, who felt a little desperate, immediately turned his head towards someone who was still in the mood to chew snacks. The little girl roared angrily.
Yes, in Wade Watts' view, as soon as this little girl arrived, these IOI guys came behind. So, if the other party said that they had nothing to do with IOI, then he would definitely not believe it!
"!!"
!? (•''•۶)۶
"What's their business? They don't know them!!"
٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶
Being yelled at for no apparent reason, Anne was startled at first, and then she retorted angrily to some annoying guy.
Sure enough, it's not unreasonable for her to hate this guy in the game, see? She didn't do anything or say anything at all, yet she was inexplicably slandered by the other party!
"Annie?"
“You’re not really from IOI, are you?!”
Hearing Wade's words, Samantha was also a little in disbelief, and then looked at a little girl who still seemed not worried at all and not scared at all with desperate and helpless eyes.
Judging from the other party's current performance and the just-right timing of the IOI guys' appearance, Samantha was also vaguely confused. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter seemed to be related to the little guy who had just arrived here!
"People don't know them!"
٩(′～`●)۶
Really, who is her Lady Queen Anne? , you know, she always likes to be alone in the game, and she never forms a team in the dungeon during a fight! It would be even more extraordinary in the real world. Even if she could summon hundreds of millions of troops with a wave of her hand, she always liked to wander around by herself. How could she bring these ordinary security guards with her?
Weak guys like them can be blown away by a gust of wind. They can't even beat their own little bears with one finger, so what's the use of carrying them! ?
(…)
(„ಡ㉨ಡ„)
"Without further ado!"
"Samantha Cook! Wade Watts! And..."
"Anne Hastur?"
After watching his men step forward and cuff the middle-aged Mediterranean man who seemed to be resisting, as well as Samantha Cook and Wade Watts, the man wearing a leather tights with a belt tied around his waist Zander, the IOI field manager of the pistol, walked up to the little girl who had received an unexpected reward with a smile.
"Ha! Very good! I recognize you. You are exactly the same as the first person in the game, and the daughter of darkness!"
"Tsk tsk!"
"Looking at you, a little girl worth more than 100 million in bounty, I feel a little moved!"
"But forget it!"
Zander, who originally wanted to sneer at the other party, when she looked at the other party's pink and confused face, she suddenly patted her forehead in annoyance, feeling that she didn't seem quite right. Should I be too serious with a child?
"listen!"
"Samantha Cook and Wade Watts! IOI has just acquired and consolidated all of your debts through the bank. You owe our company a very large amount of money, plus penalties, late fees and interest... …”
"So, you will be sent to the nearest IOI loyal contract worker center to work for our IOI until you repay those debts that you may never be able to repay!"
"So, our arrest of you is legal and just!!"
"As for you..."
After explaining the legality of his and others' raid here to the two people who were frightened and speechless, the woman who was the field director of IOI praised Del once again walked up to a little girl who still had the heart to sit on a chair and eat and drink.
"..."
"Forget it! Come with us, Nok will be happy to see you!"
Zander didn't know what excuse she should use to explain to such a little girl the legality of her and others coming here to raid and arrest people, because she did not find any identity information of the other party, nor did she find out that the other party owed money to a bank or There was no repayment of credit cards from other financial institutions, so she had no choice but to resort to kidnapping.
"??"
!(;ﾟoﾟ)o
"What are you going to do, let go!!"
o(*｀ー´)o☇
Seeing that a certain annoying IOI security guard wanted to grab her shoulder, Annie waved her hand, and then the other party let out a scream and flew backwards. The gun in his hand also fell to the side, and he was covered with blood. There were electric snakes twitching on the floor, and they lost the ability to move and speak in an instant.
"!!"
"You have a stun weapon on you?"
"I advise you to be honest and call out the weapons, otherwise, we will shoot!!"
Taking one look at his unlucky subordinate, IOI field director Zander, thinking that he was carrying some kind of high-voltage electric shock self-defense weapon, directly pulled out the pistol from his waist, and then asked others to join him and use that weapon in unison. An automatic weapon was pointed at a little girl who was still trying to resist.
"!!"
"Are you crazy? She is still a child!!"
Seeing this, how could Samantha still not know that Annie had just been wronged by her? Therefore, she ignored the two security guards behind her and struggled so hard, wanting to rush over and argue with that hateful woman.
"child?"
"Hmph! She behaved like a child in the oasis..."
"You know each other, right? I advise you to tell her to be honest, if you don't want us to shoot? You know I will do that, Wade Watts, are you right?"
After sarcastic words without hesitation, IOI field director Zander looked at Wade Watts who was frightened and speechless at this time, because she knew that the other party was passing by. After certain things, they have deeply realized the determination they can make when they want to do certain things.
"??"
"What?!"
However, Zander, the field manager of IOI, was soon horrified to discover that the weapon in her hand suddenly became hot for some reason. Then, after she subconsciously threw away the pistol, she was shocked to discover: including her , all of them from the IOI security department had to put down the weapons in their hands at this time, and watched the pistols and rifles suspended in mid-air, melting and twisting into a ball little by little?
"I said……"
(✧◡✧)
"Have you ever seen the arcane archmage who knows magic outside of the game? If not, you can have a good look at it now!!"
♆(⃔｀︶′)⃕↝
At this time, Annie slowly levitated like a little devil, and then, as if to create some kind of terrifying effect, a layer of blazing flames burned faintly on her body, making her look like a demon descended from the earth. generally?
"!!"
"you you……"
"This is impossible!!"
Holding his blistered palms, IOI's field manager Zander's eyes widened at this moment, and then he looked at the little girl with a trembling and disbelieving expression, looking at the other person's body that only appeared in the other person's body. The scene that can only be seen in the game made me mutter to myself in horror and inexplicable.
"Nothing is impossible, because he is a great mage, and the spells are the same as those learned in the game!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
"Next time! If you still dare to come here, they will burn you to death! Then they will burn your headquarters building!"
↜(ψ｀╭╮′)o☄
After reaching out and grabbing a ball of flame and threatening again, Annie waved her hand, causing everyone on the other side and the weapon man on the other side to slowly levitate, and then they all headed towards a large pond a few hundred meters away. Throw it away!
'! ! '
'Ahhhhhhh~! ! ! '
'No! ! ! '
'Help! ! ! '
'Wow! ! ! '
Plop~!
Plop~! Plop~!
Soon, as the sound of several heavy objects falling into the water came from the distant pond, as the splashing water calmed down, and as some heads began to move on the water, Anne looked at it proudly. Two unfortunate guys who were still handcuffed behind their backs.
"Are you really that surprised?"
(“▔□▔)
"He is a serious arcane mage. Isn't it normal to know a little bit of magic?!"
(•‾̑⌣‾̑•)✧˖°
(…)
(lll￢㉨￢)
'...'
'...'
Wade Watts and Samantha Cook, who were still handcuffed, glanced at each other subconsciously. Except that they could see the look of horror and surprise in each other's eyes, neither of them knew what to say. What's better.
