"Is there anyone else on the map?"
Chen Yi frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking: "You mean the player?"
"no."
Jian Wuya was obviously in something wrong. He shook his head in a depressed manner, put the rather wrinkled cigarette between his fingers tremblingly into his mouth, and spoke weakly.
"Is it someone other than the player?"
"Does boss count?"
Chen Yi remembered an amusement park map they had experienced. There was a little devil in that map who liked to eat lollipops. The little devil also left a card for him. Activating this card can bring the little devil to him. Demons are summoned to attack enemies on his behalf.
"No, except the boss and other players!"
"never seen it."
Chen Yi shook his head, looked down at the time and then said: "Hurry up and tell me what the situation is. I'm still in a hurry to go out and kill people. If I go later, I won't have enough time. It's time to go to bed soon."
"I went to a map the day before yesterday. The difficulty of that map was a bit high. I came to Yancheng to look for you, but Jiaye said you were not there."
"I just went in with a few other powerful high-combat players."
"That map is huge. It's the largest map I've ever seen. It's as big as two or three Yancheng cities."
A hint of panic and fear appeared in Jian Wuya's eyes. He took a deep breath of cigarette and calmed himself down before continuing: "Actually, that map is a city."
"It's a very prosperous city, full of high-rise buildings, often hundreds of stories high. The whole city is full of neon signs."
"There are also hover cars, and there are special traffic control equipment in the sky. They look like traffic lights in the sky."
"Countless hover cars shuttle back and forth between buildings."
"There are many people on the street, but many of them have mechanical limbs. Some have mechanical eyes, some have mechanical arms, thighs, heads, and even the whole body!"
"But when these people walked onto the street, there was nothing strange about the people nearby. I even saw some people holding robotic dogs."
"Damn, can you imagine someone walking around with a robotic dog?"
"and"
"etc."
Tutu Rabbit was keenly aware of the information in Jian Wuya's mouth. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "You mean, the map you went to is a very prosperous city with many people in the city?"
"Who are these people?"
"yes."
Jian Wuya took a deep breath, then gently rubbed his temples and began to tell: "We thought at first that those people were just NPCs on the map. After all, it is normal for there to be some NPCs on the map."
"Although we have never seen NPCs in the map before, this does not mean that there cannot be NPCs in the map."
"We pretended that those NPCs didn't exist from the beginning. Everyone was casually communicating with each other, exchanging mission information and each other's skills. After all, this map is difficult, so everyone needs to be more serious."
"But during our communication, we suddenly found that something was wrong. The NPCs around us seemed to be able to understand what we were saying, and they all looked at us with strange eyes."
"We then did some testing, and we discovered surprisingly that everyone in this city has extremely high intelligence. I found the owner of a cigarette shop to communicate."
"If the other party can connect to me smoothly, it's not like the intelligence that a map NPC should have."
"You, can you understand that feeling?"
"This is no longer the feeling of getting off a map, but of traveling through time. At that moment, all of us had the feeling of traveling to a strange world."
"Do you know what this means?"
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Chen Yi shook his head and interrupted Jian Wuya's speech. Originally, he didn't have much favorable impression of Jian Wuya, but after seeing the video about Jian Wuya in the Theater of Life.
He had a vague fondness for this middle-aged man who cared about his own image.
At least a person who can sacrifice himself to buy time for everyone to escape will not be too evil-minded.
"What are the map clearance tasks? What are the map levels?"
"There are no levels."
"That map is called the "Forerunner Map". There is no ABCD level. The mission requires us to go to the slums and destroy the signal transmitter in the hand of a beggar. "
"Then escape to the designated activation point."
"We had a total of 9 players enter this map, and in the end only 5 players came out alive, and everyone who came out alive was seriously injured."
"To be precise, 4 players were killed on the spot, and 1 player was captured alive."
"But the map rules clearly state that players who do not arrive at the escape point within the designated time will be wiped out. The player who is captured alive is probably in danger."
"Not long after we killed the beggar and destroyed the signal transmitter in the beggar's hand, a drone suddenly hovered above our heads and sounded a piercing alarm."
"Immediately afterwards, seven or eight hover cars with sirens were chasing us."
"The drones even had Gatlings sticking out from under them and shooting at us."
"The evacuation point is on the other side of the slum. The few of us had no choice but to use various methods to escape to the slum. Fortunately, I had Qingfeng Wuhen, so I was able to quickly escape to the evacuation point."
"But even so, he still suffered a lot of injuries."
"the most important is--"
A trace of fear flashed in Jian Wuya's eyes, and he spoke with a trembling voice: "When those hover cars with sirens were chasing us, the sound from the loudspeakers did not mean that we should be captured without mercy."
"But, how dare you damn players step into City 13 again!!!"
"Do you know what this means?"
"It means that the people in those maps are not just simple NPCs, they are more like real people living in a world!!"
"I came to you as soon as I came out of the map. The strongest player I know so far is you. I think you should know this."
"This matter is related to our future life and death."
"."
Chen Yi looked calm and silent without speaking. In fact, he had already made a guess. With the information Jian Wuya gave him today, his guess became even clearer.
There was a guess in his heart.
The Xuehai project team is training troops and constantly screening Blue Star players until a huge army is selected to help the Xuehai project team invade other worlds.
The Wilderness and Sands of Time maps were created by the Snow Sea project team for military training.
Maps like the one Jian Wuya went to were the real purpose of the Xuehai project team, to put players into other worlds and let them complete the invasion on behalf of the Xuehai project team.
Just like Jian Wuya's mission this time, destroying the signal transmitter in the hand of a beggar.
Maybe that thing was not a signal transmitter at all, but something detrimental to the Xuehai project team. The Xuehai project team planned to destroy this thing, so they sent players to destroy the thing in the form of a mission release.
"Chen Yi, do you understand what I mean?"
Jian Wuya stared directly at Chen Yi with eyes filled with anticipation and recognition, his dry lips trembling slightly, obviously he still hadn't recovered from this incident.
"I see."
Chen Yi nodded and was silent for a while before continuing: "So you came to me?"
"I would like to invite you to go to this map again."
Although Jian Wuya's eyes were full of fear, he still pursed his lips with a firm expression: "This time we are not in a hurry to complete the task, but first try to find a way to log in to that city's online forum and see if we can search it. Information about the Xuehai project team!”
"By then, maybe we can truly understand the meaning of the Xuehai project team's existence!"
"As well as the purpose of the Xuehai project team in selecting Blue Star, and what kind of existence that world is."
"As long as we go in again, I believe we can find out a lot of truth."
Chen Yi stood there and looked up at the sky: "I understand, you don't need to say any more. Some things can be dangerous if you say too much."
Jian Wuya was stunned for a moment, and then he also raised his head to look at the sky above his head. He understood instantly and nodded without saying anything more.
"Can I enter that map again?"
Chen Yi asked.
"No, after a few of us completed our mission and escaped successfully, the map entrance disappeared."
"But I believe that there will be a time when that map will be released again, and I hope to invite you to enter that map with me."
at this time--
Jian Wuya was suddenly stunned for a moment, a hint of horror flashed in his eyes, and he looked up at Chen Yi.
"That map has been reopened with new missions."
"The new mission is to kill an arrested criminal in the Law Enforcement Bureau. The criminal's name is Li Bei."
"This name is very unfamiliar, but... I guess that the criminal mentioned in the mission is probably the person I just told you was captured alive!"
"The map will open in 1 hour."
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and said nothing, standing there staring at Jian Wuya, lost in thought.
This passage contains a lot of information.
The two biggest pieces of information.
The Xuehai project team was a little anxious to kill and silence them, but it was obvious that the Xuehai project team did not have the ability to kill the player who was captured alive. It seemed that the Xuehai project team was a little worried that the player who was captured alive would leak some information.
And the map rules are that players who fail to escape to the extraction point in time will be wiped out.
But this Li Bei is not dead.
In other words, the Xuehai project team does not actually have the ability to kill players?
Or rather.
The ability to erase players has failed?
"call!"
He took a breath and looked up at Jian Wuya: "Can you still enter the map in your situation?"
"Okay, I have a healing tool, and my injuries are recovering."
"Um."
Chen Yi nodded and jumped on the sled nearby: "Come on, accompany me to Heigou City to kill someone first, and then we will go to the map you mentioned."
