It is a pity and contrary to the taken-for-granted ideas of some people in IOI: the explosion caused by the pre-planted explosive device and the bottomless ice sea that formed a moat-like circle around Arnock Castle. The cliff cannot stop the oasis players from attacking and advancing!
After the initial confusion and shouting and swearing...
Soon, the players in the oasis used various means, such as flying, gliding, jumping, or building bridges. In addition, with the help of a new portal that a little girl mage flew down to cast again, the players could not help themselves. In five minutes, he successfully broke through the gate of Arnock Castle defended by IOI soldiers, rushed directly into the huge castle with an unstoppable force, and began to fight with the IOI soldiers who were defending and resisting in the castle. The final 'street fight'.
In the castle...
Although IOI soldiers used the terrain and fortifications in the castles to make players pay a heavy price, there were too many players in the oasis, and there were hundreds of them outside Arnock Castle. Thousands of players haven't been able to squeeze in yet, so the killing volume of those IOI soldiers is nothing in front of the huge number of players.
clatter! clatter! clatter! clatter!
'Hold! '
'You must keep it to me! Get them out! '
'Fire! Fire! ! '
'! ! '
'What are they going to do? '
'not good! It’s Turtle Style Qigong! ! '
'What? ! '
Rumble, rumble...
After a burst of explosions that made the entire castle shake slightly, the defense lines of the castle's inner doors and passages, which were tightly guarded by IOI soldiers and even annihilated hundreds of oasis players, were instantly broken through, and countless players returned. Once howled and rushed in.
'you……'
'Damn it! '
'good! good! good! '
'You, wait for me...'
Nolan Sorrento, who was resurrected after logging into another account, had just rushed out of the portal controlled by their IOI. After seeing that the situation was over, he saw the employees of his company, and saw the man who was playing Halliday's " The Easter Egg Hunters of "Adventure Game" were actually beaten from behind by those nasty players and completely occupied the Easter Egg Competition Square. Then they continued to rush towards the inside of the castle without giving up, hoping to completely annihilate the remaining personnel of their own party. After that, he knew that everything was over...
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and decided resolutely: since those Internet mobs in Oasis would not let him, Nolan Sorrento, have an easy time, then he would definitely not let them have an easy time either! !
'! ! '
'Well? ! "
"Is it you... Alok? What are you doing here?!'
Nolan Sorrento, who had just clicked on his player interface and was about to take out something, was suddenly startled. When he turned his head, he saw someone holding the Orsuvox Orb and heading towards him. Elok came running through the portal.
'that……'
'Ahem! '
'Nolan, you IOI lost anyway, so it's not too much for me to recycle this thing now, right? You know, although it is indeed a bit unreliable and can easily be exploited by the enemy, you may still be able to use it in the future, right? '
'so……'
Alok pointed to the Orsuvox orb he was holding in his hand and said with a little embarrassment.
This was something he had finally obtained after accepting the other party's entrustment. He just lent it to IOI for use, and he didn't say to sell it directly! So, now that the other party has used it up, it's time for him to recycle it and leave here... Over the years, he has made so much wealth from IOI Company, but he still hasn't enjoyed enough, and he doesn't want to just do it without knowing it. Work your life for IOI and die here.
'Lost? '
'Hmph! Not always! ! '
Seeing that countless players were already shouting and rushing in towards the platform below, and a few bullets flew up from time to time, I remembered that the hunter on my side who was playing Halliday's "Adventure Game" was beaten to death just now, Thinking of the good thing that was ruined by those mob players when he was about to clear the level and get the easter egg, in anger and annoyance, Nolan Sorrento finally smiled sinisterly, and from the player storage of his account An item was grabbed from the inventory.
Now it seems that IOI has indeed lost, but it is not certain who will win in the end! !
'! ! '
'This is……'
Seeing what the other party had in his hand, Alok couldn't help but be shocked, and then suddenly had some bad premonitions.
'snort! '
'It's called - Son of Destruction! A gadget bought with two million game gold coins! '
Nolan Sorrento held the cylindrical prop with red and blue liquid in his hand and gritted his teeth.
For IOI Online Creative Company, a one-time prop of two million game gold coins is nothing, because so far in this battle, they have lost at least several billion in game funds! If after putting in so much effort, he still failed in the end and had to give up that damn Halliday Easter egg to others, that would be the last thing he could bear!
So, since those Internet mobs don't let him have an easy time and don't let him get the easter eggs, then they can't get any of them! Moreover, this matter is not over yet. Anyway, their IOI family has a great cause. He can kill everyone on the planet first, and then come back and use the backup account to break through the level again. And those players, once they are cleared, they want to It would be extremely difficult to catch up with them or come here again.
Therefore, he now wants to let those Oasis Internet mobs know that if they want to fight him, Nolan Sorrento, they are still a little green! !
'! ! '
'etc! '
'Let me get out of here first...'
Alok remembered what the Son of Destruction was. Once activated, it could kill all the players on the entire planet or in the entire dungeon map! Therefore, when he hurriedly ran towards a certain portal, he also wanted to say to Nolan Sorrento: If you want to blow up yourself and everyone on the planet, that's fine, but can you let me Leave here first? !
However……
'Hmph! '
'Fuck them all! ! '
That Nolan Sorrento didn't care about what Ailoke said at all, nor did he care about the opponent's behavior of speeding up and rushing into the portal. He just gritted his teeth and watched the players pouring into Arnock Castle. Every passage was shooting towards him from a distance, while he violently twisted the 'Son of Destruction'!
In an instant!
The activated prop suddenly erupted into waves of terrifying shock waves that swept out in all directions, and then instantly teleported Nolan Sorrento himself and someone who was cursing at the same time. Elok ran away from the door, directly swamping the oasis players who were attacking them, and then instantly crushed them, all the surviving IOI soldiers, and the massive army of players who were about to win a complete victory. And turned into puddles of exploding gold coins.
"!!"
!(;゚o゚)o
"Wow!!"
!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ
Annie, who had just landed from the sky and triumphantly switched VF-25 into its adult form, had obviously seen the terrifying shock wave that swept over her! Then, she just had time to scream, and the shock wave swept over her, turning her VF-25 into ashes, and she disappeared in the cab instantly...
Not long after, when the shock wave swept across the entire dead planet at an extremely fast speed, the Arnock Castle, which had just been bustling with at least millions of players, was filled with gold coins, gunpowder smoke and silence. Apart from that, there is nothing left.
Of course, the players who were in other teleportation areas of the Death Planet and were rushing here were also killed in an instant, leaving the place full of golden gold coins and various exploded props. and weapons and equipment.
…
'snort! '
'it's all over! '
In the IOI company headquarters building, Nolan Sorrento opened his eyes with a gloomy expression. Then, he was going to ask people in the company to prepare immediately, so that the backup accounts could log in quickly and rush to Anoke before other players. Castle, then build a fixed portal and redefine it there for the final breakout.
And this time, he will definitely win!
Because, after so many players have been cleared, their Internet mobs will definitely not be able to organize a second wave of attacks in a short period of time. Those guys in the slums can fight with his IOI. Still a little tender.
However, what Nolan Sorrento didn't know was that at this time, there were still two people alive in Arnock's castle, and they were Anne Haas, who ranked first in the Easter egg rankings. Tower and second place Parsifal!
"who is it?!"
"!!"
"Ann, Annie, but why are you okay?"
Parsifal, who was about to start the final breakthrough and get Halliday's easter egg, was suddenly startled. When he turned around with the weapon, he realized that it was a little guy he was familiar with. Looking left and right, she walked in carrying her ferocious stuffed toy bear?
"It's very simple!"
(*^▽^*)
"I am a mage. I teleported back to the oasis center just now, and then teleported back here just now. Of course I will be fine!"
(^_−)☆
There is no way, the Master in the game is so high-end and classy, and he has so many ways to escape! Therefore, the ultimate move that those IOI bad guys used at the end was definitely going to stop her! It's a pity that she couldn't keep her VF-25... But it doesn't matter, because Annie just wandered in and picked up enough money for her to squander for several years, enough for her to not have to buy copies for a long, long time!
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
"What about you? How come you weren't killed?!"
(。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)
Anne stared at the bad guy named Parsifal in front of her with some suspicion, because she knew that even if there was a resurrection item, he should be teleported back to the safe area of the oasis center and resurrected, and the other person was still here. That would be really suspicious.
"I?"
"I did it because when I was solving Halliday's second clue, the library director gave me a gold coin, which would give me an extra life!"
Thinking about the arcade game coin that he had thought was useless just now, Parsifal couldn't help but give the director of the library a thumbs up in his heart and silently thanked him.
"So this is what it's like?"
ヾ(⌒∇⌒*)♪
"Then what are you doing now?"
ヾ(✪▽^*)))
"..."
"I'm playing Halliday's level-breaking game - "Adventure Game". As long as you pass it, you can get the last key and then get the easter egg!"
Since the visitor was one of his own, Parsifal finally turned around with confidence and started playing his cassette game on the 14-inch black and white TV.
"Is this going to pass?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"No……"
"This game is not about winning, it's about playing! You need to find Easter eggs in a dark room. Do you want to try it?"
Seeing that the other party seemed interested, Parsifal generously handed over the equally backward game controller.
"don't want!"
(눈_눈)
"The graphics of this crappy game are too ugly! People reject it!"
(ಠ╭╮ಠ)
What a messy adventure game. It looked like black and white square spots of light, the outlines of the characters were unrecognizable, the walls were all squares, and it was a two-dimensional game. She didn’t want to play this kind of thing that insulted her IQ!
"!!"
"Great! Annie, I found it!!"
However, Anne had just turned her cute little head away because of her ugly rejection, and that Parsifal actually cheered, as if he had completed a certain mission?
"!!"
!(;゚o゚)o
"??"
Then, to his surprise, Parsifal discovered that the two of them, including Anne, were teleported to a strange scene full of golden coins?
'welcome! '
'Welcome here...'
When the two of them were puzzled and looked towards the huge 'Easter egg' above the pile of gold coins, and before hesitating to take it down, a vortex appeared, and then Halliday's game image, that is, The prophet Anok also appeared in this magnificent room.
"It's you!!"
↜(ψ`╭╮′)o☄
Seeing the other party, Annie subconsciously grabbed another fireball.
"..."
"Little girl, are you going to attack me again?"
Looking at Anne's actions, Anoke or Halliday sighed and shook his head with regret.
"Eh?"
∑(´△`)? !
"Wait...that's not right! You're so weird. Didn't they say you were dead...Wow! People know that you are actually a digital being?!"
!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ
Anne, who was originally considering whether to burn the opponent again, suddenly exclaimed, and then extinguished the game skill fireball in her hand, she took a few steps forward, ran to the opponent's side, and just watched around the opponent. While sighing in wonder.
"..."
"Who are you? How did you figure it out?"
After pondering for a while, Halliday, who also frowned and stared at the little girl, didn't even want to do the task of guiding Parsifal to obtain the easter egg. Then the scene suddenly changed again, and the splendid treasure trove disappeared in an instant, and Annie and Pa Sifal and a certain James Halliday who showed his true identity appeared in the attic-like living room of another house that looked very messy.
"Anne Hastur!"
o(*¯︶¯*)oAndroid
"I am a most powerful arcane mage, a real mage, the same kind in the real world!!"
(。•̀ᴗ-)✧
Even in the game?
Because, if Annie wants to, she can interfere with the game world at any time, and even interfere with the undead-like digital life in front of her! !
"Mage?"
"what is that……"
Halliday looked a little confused. He didn't know what the little girl in front of him meant by the Mathematical Master, and why he could see that something was wrong with him at a glance.
"She can also do magic in the real world. She also helped us fight off the armed security guards of IOI Company and protected us from being captured by IOI Company. She also said that the magic skills were learned in the game!"
Although he didn't know what the two were talking about or why he was teleported here, Parsifal quickly added and seemed to want to hear some valuable content from Halliday's mouth, such as How do you learn skills in games and bring them to the real world?
"No one has ever said that, it's obviously what you think!"
(¬д¬.)
Yes, Anne did not say that. At most, she just misled some idiots a little bit, but she was too lazy to explain too much about this kind of thing.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
"That's it..."
"The world is so big, there are really many wonders..."
"well……"
It's a pity that Halliday knows that he is dead, at least in the real world, and it is impossible to go back... Moreover, there is nothing in the real world that makes him want to go back. Miss you and me.
"Aren't you just as weird as you are?"
(lll¬▽¬)
When the other party said that she was strange, Annie refuted the other party without any politeness.
"Oh yes……"
"You don't need to go see him, he is me a long time ago..."
"I like having him by my side..."
After noticing that Annie seemed to be staring at a little boy sitting on a small sofa playing a cassette game not far away, Halliday hurriedly explained.
"Is he also a digital life created by you?"
(°ー°〃)
"Wow! You are so messy, you actually divided your soul memory into your childhood self!!"
━(◯Δ◯∥)━ン
After taking a few more glances, Annie still didn't know what the other person had done? Therefore, she couldn't help but marvel at this bad old man wearing glasses. She didn't expect that he would even dare to do that kind of thing. He was so ignorant and fearless!
"It seems that you are really special, even you know this..."
Halliday's frown deepened. He was a little confused about the background of the little girl in front of him.
"ha!"
๑乛◡乛๑
"After you conjured him up, he must have become very uncomfortable before you needed him to be by your side, right?"
(„ಡωಡ„)✧
"..."
"That's right!"
"Yeah, this is something I never expected..."
Halliday, who was dressed like a sloppy old homeboy, smiled bitterly, adjusted his glasses, and nodded in recognition as if he was not good at words.
"Although you discovered some secrets of the soul..."
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Hehe!
"But the soul is not as simple as you think. If you divide it casually, you will definitely be in big trouble! Let me tell you, I met a guy named Voldemort before, and he divided his soul. Seven times, and then you no longer look like a human being!"
↜(ψ`▽′)o
Although Anne would not help the other party, that did not prevent her from giving a little help to this guy who was obviously an ordinary person without any special powers, but in the end he created a realm and discovered part of the mysteries of the soul. A few words of caution.
"..."
"Thank you for your confession, but I think I have learned a lesson now..."
Looking at himself over there who was concentrating on playing the black and white cassette game, Halliday smiled bitterly again.
"etc!"
"I do not understand!"
"What were you two talking about just now? And who are you? Isn't James Halliday dead? But why do I think you don't look like an NPC?"
Finally, after listening to the two chatting for a long time, Parsifal, who felt that he didn't quite understand, hurriedly intervened to interrupt the exchange between the two and asked Halliday.
"..."
However, Halliday did not explain, just shook his head with a smile, and then looked at the little girl, as if he also wanted to hear the other party's explanation?
"You are so stupid!!"
(lll¬▽¬)
"This James Halliday did die in the real world, but he didn't know what method he used to obtain a certain sense of immortality in the oasis!"
ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)✧
"Because, when he took control of the world and created a new world in the oasis game world that was not accessible to other players, he lived in it in digital form. What he saw and touched Yes, everything he eats becomes real! Therefore, in a sense, he is not dead, and has become an immortal existence in his oasis world, that is, a certain A god in a certain sense!"
(✧◡✧)
"How's it going? Isn't it awesome?!"
(^_−)☆
Annie has just used her own perception to search this game, and then she did find a world independent of the Oasis game world, that is, a world created by Halliday himself, a world that does not allow players to contact and Enter the world!
Therefore, she was sure that the Halliday in front of her must have discovered something, and she dared to explain it to some stupid guy.
"???"
"impossible!"
"If you are dead, you are dead. How can you still live in the game? This oasis world is obviously virtual, how can it become a real existence?!"
Parsifal still couldn't understand the messy things the little girl in front of him said.
"Hey~!"
ε=(´ο`*)))Alas
Anne didn't want to explain anymore, because a fool is a fool after all. If you don't understand, you just don't understand. That's why she is too lazy to say so much!
That Parsifal, or rather Wade Watts, thought that the oasis world was virtual, but how could their real world not be virtual when viewed by others? Is their earth really the real earth? How do they know that their bodies, their thoughts, their clothes, houses, the earth, food and even the air, etc., what they see, touch, breathe and think about are not all there? Is it a bunch of data?
Therefore, in Anne's opinion, there is not much of a boundary between reality and fiction...
From Annie's point of view, this oasis world only has risks such as server shutdown or explosion destruction... But, as long as Halliday is smart enough and the oasis server has enough computing power, he can completely control it. The time of the world he lives in is set to hundreds or thousands of times the time of the real world of the server, and then all problems can be solved!
For example, a day in the real world outside them is equal to ten thousand days in the world he lives in in the Oasis, and a year in the outside world is equal to ten thousand years in the world he lives in. That's about right, right?
You know, how long has it been since humans on earth had written records? If it takes ten thousand years or more, he will definitely be able to find other ways to transcend himself or get rid of the limitations of the server by then, right?
Of course, if you still can’t find it by then, you deserve to die! !
"..."
"Okay, I originally wanted to test you, but..."
"Forget it, now that my secrets have been discovered by this weird little guy like you, it's almost time for me to leave..."
"Oh! And there are Easter eggs!"
"That easter egg..."
"Wait a minute, let me look for you first..."
Halliday struggled for a while, and finally decided to end the conversation with the two players in front of him, especially because he wanted to stay away from the scary little girl who vaguely made him feel uneasy and saw through all his secrets at a glance!
So, he began to rummage through his chaotic living room.
"I remember where I put it..."
Maybe he has been immersed in his own world for too long, maybe he hasn't been back here for a long time, maybe what Anne just guessed was really what Halliday was doing, so he forgot where to hide the most important easter egg. , and had to start looking around.
"oh!"
"I found it, here... give it, but who of you wants this easter egg? Let's agree first. If I only have one, the stock can't be divided equally..."
Holding the easter egg in his hand, Halliday talked for a while.
Now that he has finished what he has to do, it is time for him to completely cut off contact with the 'real world' outside!
"Give it to him! I don't want this junk of yours!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
Annie had a look of disgust on her face, not caring about the easter egg that everyone in the Oasis world dreamed of and that IOI villain Nolan Sorrento tried every means to get, even at any cost, even if it meant murder and arson.
"..."
Parsifal didn't even know what to say, so he just blankly took the heavy egg that was still emitting light and heat from the hand of Halliday who walked up to him.
"alright!"
"It's time for me to leave, Oasis, I'll leave it to you..."
After saying that, Halliday waved to the dull little boy in the distance who was still playing games, and then after taking one last look at the two of them, he took the little boy's hand and opened the wooden door of the messy room and prepared to walk out. .
"etc!"
"You, who are you? I don't understand. Isn't Halliday dead? Then who are you?!"
Although Parsifal still didn't understand, he felt that he seemed to have discovered something more important than the easter egg? Therefore, while he continued to ask questions, his breathing became rapid.
"..."
"Parsifal, or Wade Watts..."
"I can't answer you this question right now, but I can give you a little tip: when you come to the end of your life, don't give up the 'oasis', and then you will definitely find that it can give you Yours is an unexpected surprise.”
"Perhaps, it's not certain that we can meet again then?"
After saying that, Halliday led his childhood self, opened the door, walked out and closed it gently.
"Hello!"
"etc!!"
Parsifal wanted to chase him out and ask for more information, but he was completely unable to open the seemingly thin wooden door.
"!!"
"What does he mean?"
With no other choice, Parsifal had to turn his head again and look at a little girl who seemed to understand and gave the easter egg to him.
"That's what it means literally!"
٩(๑´0`๑)۶Ahh~!
After yawning and stretching, Annie said that she seemed a little tired after playing the Oasis game for so long, and it was time to leave the game.
but……
Before that, she would first use the huge amount of small coins she picked up around the Arnock Castle to eat, drink and have fun as much as she wanted. When she left, she would give the remaining small coins to the unlucky one. The unscrupulous profiteer Edge who was killed by IOI's bad guys with their ultimate move and his data was cleared?
After all, after the other party helped her so much, she couldn't help but express it a little bit.
(…)
(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
(Tibbers didn’t want to talk, because, ah, a certain bad little master of his family had already taken all the gold coins, props and other things dropped by millions of players around Anok Castle before refreshing. She picked them all up, God knows how rich and arrogant she is now?!)
"!!"
"Hey! Wait!"
Parsifal was just about to ask something more, but he saw the little girl's body turned into a bunch of data droplets. He didn't know whether he quit the game or teleported away...
