When Xu Huo left home, he had some unpleasant troubles with his family. His grandfather did not open the door for him in the study and asked him to visit his brother's grave through the door.
"I understand." Xu Huo answered through the door and asked, "How are you doing recently?"
"I can't die yet." The voice from the door was a little impatient, "Mother-in-law, you are still not a man, so hurry up and leave!"
Xu Huo turned around and went downstairs and asked his father bluntly, "Grandpa is sick?"
Xu's father was a little surprised, but then said: "I have been ill for half a year. I have no strength in my legs and can't walk. He didn't let me tell you."
Xu Huo paused for a moment, "What did the doctor say?"
"That's it, I'm getting older."
At this time, an acquaintance in a suit and leather shoes walked in outside.
"Team Leader Wu."
Team leader Wu smiled and said: "I didn't expect that we would see each other again in Beijing. I still want to give you something this time."
"You were injured in Haishi, and your superiors are very concerned about you."
"My injury was cured by finding a potion in the game." In fact, the alien toxin on his back had been decomposed.
"How is that friend of mine doing now?"
"You mean Wang Chaoqing?" Team leader Wu laughed and said, "That kid is really a rat spirit. After giving him an inhibitor, he refused to leave. He insisted on the country giving him an antidote, but the antidote is still available. It’s still under research, so it can’t be used by people casually.”
"Let's talk somewhere else." Xu Huo suggested.
The two moved to the small study room on the second floor. Team leader Wu first stated his intention, "The country values talents, and of course I hope you can join the newly established security department. However, the country also respects your wishes. No matter where you are, your heart will be with the country." That’ll be fine.”
Xu Huo smiled and said, "Didn't you find any information about my past?"
Of course, Xu Huo's information has been studied carefully, and finally the senior management unanimously decided that as long as he is willing to join, they will do their best to train him. If he does not agree, the country can still provide certain support because he himself has made certain contributions.
"That's all in the past. If you get cured, you'll be fine, right?" Team Leader Wu was sent here because he had dealt with him before.
Xu Huo slowly lit a cigarette, "If you checked my information, you should know that I was treated in a mental hospital during my childhood, but I have no memory of that hospital now."
"Two years ago, I wanted to look for that hospital on a whim, but the hospital disappeared and no buildings were left. According to the name of the hospital mentioned by my father, I could not find that hospital in any official registration."
"Later, I looked for some institutions and hospitals that should have been connected with that hospital at that time. There was no record of that hospital in their information, but some people remembered that patients were indeed transferred to that mental hospital at that time, but The records are all gone.”
Team Leader Wu's face slowly became serious, "I will go check this matter."
Xu Huo nodded slightly, "I don't plan to join any organization for the time being, but this time I brought some potions back from the game, you can use them for business."
Team leader Wu still felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it. "If you have any difficulties, you can raise them, and the state will help you solve them."
"Let's talk about it later when we think about it." Xu Huo asked, "Did the players suffer heavy losses this time?"
On the way back, he saw screens everywhere calling for ordinary people to sign up as players, but the response was mediocre.
Speaking of this matter, Team Leader Wu couldn't help but sigh, "Because of the special nature of the matter, apart from the innocent casualties of ordinary citizens, the players who have sacrificed the most this time are the players."
Whether it was the elite players gathered in the capital city, the defending players in various cities, or the pioneer players supporting the sea city, more than two-thirds died.
Player training was almost cut in half before it even got on the right track.
"Increase the number of players as soon as possible." Xu Huo said: "I heard bad news in the game. If a new game area loses its potential in the initial evolution stage, it is very likely to be abandoned by the game."
"What does this mean?" Team Leader Wu looked attentively.
"It means that the same events as in Country B will happen all over the world. A large number of alien species will invade Area 014. Ordinary people will not be able to naturally evolve. In the end, the entire world will become a grazing area for alien species."
"This news is so important!" Team Leader Wu broke into a cold sweat. "You may not know that the rules for blocking players from outside areas were just announced at noon today."
"Blockade?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, through a large number of surveillance videos, we found that players from outside areas seem to use props to reach Area 014, and they also seem to need to obtain 014 Area dungeon tickets. We infer that there are restrictions on the use of tickets and props that invade the real world. , so even advanced players cannot come and go as they please." Team leader Wu explained: "And we believe that what happened in country B was also caused by players."
"If players from outside areas have to use tickets to enter the real world of Area 014, then the maximum time each player can stay is less than two months." Xu Huo said.
"Yes, it is a rule of the game that each player must go through a dungeon once every natural month, and no player can violate it."
With this condition, no player can stay in Area 014 for too long. Therefore, if players from outside areas are found in the future, they will mainly block them. Now it seems that this discovery has made them careless. The real danger lies in the game. Not a handful of players!
"I have to go back and report this matter quickly." Team leader Wu hurriedly left, and before leaving, he added: "By the way, an epidemic has been prevalent in Country Y recently. Before the start time of this epidemic is found out, you also Try to have as little contact with people outside as possible.”
Xu Huo stood up and sent him out, then returned to his room and checked the rewards for this instance.
In addition to the "teeth" given to him by Granny Bai, there is only one additional prop:
[Adult Fairy Tale Book: As long as you open this book, it will automatically tell disturbing fairy tales. It is not recommended for children under the age of 18. 】
Xu got it out and saw that it was a three-inch-thick book with hard red cover. As soon as he opened it, blood drop-like patterns appeared inexplicably on the originally white page, and then lines of words appeared on it, and an eerie dry sound appeared. Start reading the text above.
"It turns out to be a horror story." He put the book aside, randomly searched for some horror music, and listened to the book while playing it.
However, the music did not play for two minutes, and the sound of reading became smaller and smaller. After the words and blood stains on the pages faded, the book cover automatically turned over and closed.
Xu Huo thought at first that the time was up, so he opened the book from the middle. This time, the dotted blood stains turned into surging waves. He still turned on the music to listen, but this time the time was shorter, and the book automatically read half a page. closure.
When he opened it again, a line of bleeding words appeared on the page: "As an adult fairy tale book, it has lost its dignity and intends to be passive in its work."
