【Am I not dead? 】
After waking up from the fear of going offline, Vasak saw an unfamiliar ceiling in the dark room. He was breathing heavily and could feel his heart beating thumpingly in his chest.
He is still alive, and it seems that he has escaped from the game world and returned to the real world.
Thinking of the rumors about the SD President of the Rescue Freemasonry, it was said that there was a problem with the NG helmet of a player. He died in the game but did not die in reality, so he was replaced. At this moment, Vasak just felt like God. They all stood on their own side, preventing me from dying when I should have died.
"That damn SD bastard, don't let me find you in reality, or I will kill you..."
On the bed, Vasak was cursing, and the person he was cursing was Wu Ke, who executed him in the game.
But after he said these words, he realized one very important thing, that is, to pull out the cord in reality, someone must be by his side.
Vassago's neck felt stiff and he turned his head to the side little by little.
Then, he saw a dark red figure in black armor standing next to the bed, looking at him with eyes as bright as blood.
"I said, I was joking just now, do you believe it?"
Vassago felt a little thirsty and tried to explain.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the red light in his black-armored eyes of evil thoughts.
"He's not dead. This one is not dead either. Is there really something wrong with the NG helmets of these people?"
Wu Ke's voice came from the evil thoughts clone.
"Forget it, I'll take the helmet for testing later. As for these bad guys who are not dead..."
The clone of evil thoughts stretched out his hand.
"save……"
Before the weak cry for help could be shouted out, a slight 'pop' sound could be heard.
Several threads of evil thoughts penetrated the mouth and nose of the person on the hospital bed, vigorously stirring up the other person's mind.
The lucky Vasak fell down and lost his breath in the real world.
Wu Ke did not take away the NG helmet directly, which would cause some trouble for the hospital.
He asked Yuuki Shozo to send people from RECT Company to recover those faulty NG helmets.
The next day, Wu Ke came to the laboratory and watched Professor Shigemura test these helmets one by one.
"There is no problem with these NG helmets. The high-frequency microwave devices inside can still operate normally."
Professor Shigemura gave the test results.
"Then why are the people wearing these NG helmets not damaged in their brains when I forcibly unplug them in reality?"
After Wu Ke finished last night in real life, he tried to log into the game by wearing these NG helmets, and then unplugged them directly. As a result, without exception, he was attacked by high-frequency microwaves.
"Then there are only two possibilities.
First, a system error occurred when the program was running, causing the high-frequency microwave device of the NG helmet to connect to human neural signal cells to not start up when you forcibly unplugged it.
The second is that someone interfered with the internal control system of the NG helmet and prevented the high-frequency microwave device inside the helmet from starting in advance when you unplugged the cable. "
Professor Shigemura stated the possible scenario.
The first scenario is possible, but it is impossible for all thirteen people to be like this.
But in the game, the male players who were killed by them were not like this.
This is unreasonable.
Therefore, it should be the second situation.
"Professor Shigemura, who do you think is the person who can do this kind of thing?"
"First of all, you need to have a good understanding of the control system inside the NG helmet and have high control authority over the SAO game system."
Professor Shigemura stated the premise.
“So, the person who did this may be someone who participated in the design of the NG helmet and the construction of the SAO game system, such as Kayaba Akihiko’s assistant.
Or it could be Kayaba Akihiko himself, the intelligent AI uploaded to the SAO game server.
However, I don’t know why the other party did this. "
Professor Shigemura shook his head.
"Maybe it's just to test."
Wu Ke suddenly said something.
"Testing what?"
Professor Shigemura was puzzled.
"Suppose you were Kayaba Akihiko. If you encountered an account that repeatedly jumped between the game and reality, what would you do?"
Wu Ke asked, and Professor Shigemura understood immediately.
"If I were Kayaba Akihiko and saw a game account that jumped repeatedly, why not just ban it?"
However, more problems also emerged.
"I don't know this question either, but I have to ask about the other person's consciousness in the game."
Wu Ke replied.
"Is there any way you can see each other?"
Professor Shigemura asked.
"No, but aren't I trying to catch the other party? If the other party reacts this time, he might just drag me into the dark room in the game to have a conversation next time."
Wu Ke shrugged.
"Okay, Professor Shigemura, you are busy here, so I won't disturb you."
Wu Ke said goodbye to Shigemura Otetsu, but found Yuuki Shozo.
"There are 10,000 trapped players in the SAO game. I need you to sort out the survivors' information and send it to me. I need it."
In order to prevent the recurrence of smiling coffins in the game, Wu Ke decided to sort out the real-life information of the players who are still alive today, and implement real-name authentication in the game, so that some guys will not dare to do so despite having learned from the past. Get him some moths.
"This requires investigating players' private information. It will take some time. RECT has taken over SAO Game Company and has user information for purchasing NG helmets. About a week is enough. I don't know if you are anxious. If so, I can ask the company's employees In a hurry."
"Okay, then I'll give you a week. Of course, it doesn't matter if it takes more than a certain amount of time. In such a short period of time, the players in the game can still remember the lesson of being forced offline. Things will be fine for the time being. Someone with amnesia.”
Wu Ke nodded and gave Yuuki Shozo a relatively generous time.
.
.
Just as the information about the players trapped in the SAO game was being sorted and collected by RECT employees, at a military research institute in the Okinawa region, Seijiro Kikuoka of the Communication Virtual Space Management Section 2, the research project prepared by the other party was finally revealed. It was approved by the big shots above.
"How is the player group currently trapped in SAO games doing now?"
After Kikuoka Seijiro came out of the office, he asked the female assistant waiting for him outside.
"It's still the same, players die from time to time, but recently, I heard that RECT, the company that acquired the SAO game operating company, formed its own rescue team for trapped players.
It is said that a defective NG helmet was discovered, and professional personnel were sent into the game through it, intending to rescue trapped players by completing the clearance conditions within the SAO game. "
The female assistant answered.
"A defective NG helmet, is that real?"
Kikuoka Seijiro was a little surprised.
"Some family members of trapped players have received safety letters from trapped players, and since the families of those trapped players have not questioned it, it should be true."
"So, today's RECT company not only takes over the operating company of SAO game, but also takes over the mess left by SAO game. Are these players trapped in the SAO game world?"
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Kikuoka."
The female assistant nodded.
"Are all the capital companies in our country so responsible today?"
Kikuoka Seijiro has a headache. The Communication Network Virtual Space Management Section 1 is currently in a quagmire regarding the cracking of virtual technology.
As the chief of the second section, he who leads the development project of "Project Fluctlight" originally wanted to conduct experiments based on the research data of trapped SAO game players, but now it seems that he has been preempted by a large company.
"Should we contact the person in charge of RECT through official channels?"
the female assistant asked.
"It can only be the."
If it is a small company, they can still use their power to suppress others, but the other party is a large company, and in a country with a capital society, it is a target that cannot be easily offended.
At least, until he, the second section chief of the Virtual Space Management Section, comes up with valuable research results, the people above him will not give him the details to cause conflicts with a large company in the front-line electronic supplies industry.
.
.
Wu Ke returned to the game again, and the level of the players in the exploration group caught up, and the maze raiding operation started again.
It only took five days for the rescue guild to go from the 40th floor to the 50th floor. By the 50th floor, the level of the monsters had gone up again, and the players in the exploration group could not keep up, so they stopped again and started to lead the team to practice in a trapezoidal manner. class.
And on the third day of leveling, Wu Ke also got the actual information of surviving players from Yuuki Shozana.
At the same time, Yuuki Shozo also brought a message: "The official sent people, but they wanted to join forces with us to cooperate in rescuing the players."
"That's a good thing, what's the problem?"
"It wouldn't matter if we just cooperated in the rescue, but the other party offered to borrow the safety NG helmet owned by our company."
"Huh? I remember that this kind of explanation was probably spread among the player groups within the game. Otherwise, it was used as an excuse to explain to the families of the trapped players in reality."
"Yes, and the officials who came to discuss cooperation seemed to know this information very well. I feel that they did not want to join forces with us to rescue players trapped in the game, but more like they came for the safety NG helmets we used as an excuse.
Moreover, not only one group of people came to the door, but two groups of people, and they were all official personnel, but they seemed to be unclear about each other's movements. I tested the tone of one of them, but the other was just surprised, but not No useful information was revealed to me.
I did some research on the people who came to the company, and found that several of them were members affiliated with the National Military Research Institute, and they also specialized in virtual technology and mental linkage devices. "
After explaining this, Yuuki Shozo said respectfully: "Those are people from the military. Their identity information is kept confidential to a certain extent. I can't investigate their true purpose, but my company can't refuse their cooperation." proposal……"
Having said this, after a pause, Yuuki Shozo asked: "Mr. Wu Ke, don't you know what we should do?"
Do they have a safe company?
No!
But can I tell him directly, even tell the truth about Mr. Wu Ke?
Others don't know, but Yuuki Shozo thinks he can't.
Rather than offending the military, Yuuki Shozo felt that it was more reasonable than anything else, and that Mr. Wu Ke, who was kind to them and had abnormal abilities, was something that Yuki Shozo could not offend even more.
Therefore, Yuki Shozo raised the question to Wu Ke. The purpose was not only to solicit Wu Ke's own opinions, but also to express his own position and what his company could pay for it.
Doing things for others and letting others know is called favor.
But if you just silently do things for others without letting them know, then others will have no idea of your efforts.
"You can agree to their cooperation in rescuing players together. As for their desire to borrow safety NG helmets, you can hold them back until I take the time to investigate their background. Let's talk about it later."
Wu Ke thought for a while and then said.
"Yes, I will follow your instructions and get things done."
Yuki Shozo seriously agreed and left Wu Ke's room at his house.
On the way back to his room, Yuuki Shozo accidentally bumped into his daughter, coughed, and said seriously: "Asuna, you are not young anymore (15 years old), read less those frivolous love comics, you must know that practice is more important than theory. …”
Yuuki Shozo hinted that his daughter would get closer to someone and left.
Yuuki Asuna blushed alone in the corridor when her father said that.
Wu Ke in the room didn't care about the father and daughter outside.
He was in the room, quickly flipping through the information on surviving players.
As he turned to the back, his brows also wrinkled.
Early the next morning, he entered the SAO game.
And his level has also reached [Lv57] as the number of layers in the maze has increased.
The person with the highest game level is seven levels higher than the other players.
"Where's Heathcliff?"
Teleporting into the guild headquarters, Wu Ke directly asked the players here.
"President SD and Vice President Heathcliff are on the 45th floor, preparing the material arrangements for today's team leveling."
A backpacker player answered his question.
Wu Ke thanked the man and chose to teleport to the world on the 45th floor.
Heathcliff was found at the branch's guild residence.
Heathcliff is still so capable, and the exploration team players in the guild are mobilized in an orderly manner.
"President, you are here. It will take some time for the team to gather. How about you have a cup of tea next to me first?"
Heathcliff said gently when he saw him.
"There's no rush. Let's take a break from team leveling today. I have more important things to do. I want to have a good chat with you, Heathcliff, the vice-president of our guild."
Wu Ke said directly.
Heathcliff narrowed his eyes and didn't ask any more questions.
"good."
After agreeing, he directed several deputy players next to him to inform all the players in the exploration group about today's rest.
