The countdown also appeared in Zhou Jinru's ears. When the number reached zero, he clearly felt his body sink and his whole body was falling rapidly.
There was a loud roar in his ears, as if he was falling from the sky. When he opened his eyes, Zhou Jinru saw a beam of light falling from the sky. It was himself. When he reached the ground, his soles stepped steadily on the solid ground.
This is the first time I have tried this method of descent, and it is quite new.
Zhou Jinru moved his limbs a few times and felt that there was no problem. His agility was okay and there was almost no delay. Moreover, in the past few times, he had been a participant in the dream world, but today, he was an audience.
He was standing on a deserted street, to be precise, on the side of a big road. There was no one around him, and he couldn't even hear anything else except the sound of the wind. The end of his field of vision was deserted, with abandoned vehicles piled up randomly. In the middle of the road, weeds grow in the gaps between the asphalt roads.
After waiting for a while, there were no other lights coming around him, which meant that he was now alone again.
"let me try……"
Zhou Jinru stretched out his hands and tried to condense the weapon. At this moment, a woman's voice came: "Don't do this. Extra actions will waste server resources. I will give you enough opportunities to try later."
"Who are you?"
The voice sounds familiar, but I can't remember who it is. It doesn't look like Kelsey or Precious.
"When you turned around, did you see the iron tower?"
Zhou Jinru turned around in response. On the far horizon, an iron tower deep into the clouds stood on the earth like a giant.
"You can find me here."
"Ha, then I won't go."
Zhou Jinru opened his legs and walked in the opposite direction. He was here to play anyway. At worst, he could just disconnect and pull out the network cable. Who doesn't know how?
According to his experience, there must be a monster when things go wrong. He was obviously watching an assessment, but he was suddenly transported to a strange place, and a strange voice asked him to go to the designated place. It was probably nothing good.
"You really won't come?"
The voice asked again.
Zhou Jinru was very firm: "No, don't try to lie to me. I will never go, no matter if you are a human or a monster."
"You don't regret it?"
"I will never regret it."
The unfamiliar voice paused for a moment, as if he had encountered something particularly funny, and even laughed out loud: "Haha, you don't regret it if you refuse to come. If anyone likes you, it will be really bad luck."
"you……"
Zhou Jinru didn't have time to say more, he only heard the other party sigh: "There is nothing we can do about you. Since you are unwilling to take the initiative, then I have to come to you, really."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jinru saw another person on the other side of the road. He had long black hair, a small headband, and a white coat.
The moment the two people looked at each other, Zhou Jinru reacted: "Precious?!"
He thought he would never have the chance to see her again, but he didn't expect to meet her here again.
"Zhou, long time no see."
Zhou Jinru just took a step, but stopped again. The voice of Precious opposite him was obviously different from what he had seen before. Her tone was colder and more proud, especially the face with a faint smile. If I see him, he will feel ashamed and not dare to approach.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Jinru's expression turned cold. If someone was going to make a joke to him through Precious' identity, he wouldn't mind making the joke bigger.
His right hand quickly took out the revolver from his clothes, and his fingers gently fiddled with the magazine. The sound of metal collision suddenly stopped. His thumb pressed the hammer and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the woman across the road.
"So, you should have seen me, but there is no record in the file. Let me guess, it should be the latest Londinium incident?"
The woman took a step forward and appeared directly in front of Zhou Jinru. She gently placed her slender fingers on the barrel of the revolver and slowly removed the muzzle: "Zhou, this thing does not pose a threat to me. At least you can rest assured that I am not one of those Monsters of the deep.”
Zhou Jinru frowned slightly and lowered his gun. He could not confirm the true identity of the person in front of him, but his intuition told him that at least he was not an enemy.
"From my perspective, the last time I saw you was in Colombia."
"Saint Aral?"
"Well, that was a long, long time ago."
Zhou Jinru temporarily chose to compromise: "Okay, can you tell me, where am I?"
"The dream world constructed by Rhodes Island is why I moved you here because I want to see you. There is no need to have so many irrelevant people around."
This tone is really...
Zhou Jinru said earnestly: "Do you know what I am doing?"
"Preparatory group assessment, I know," the woman blinked, "I am maintaining the stability of this dream world."
She is Rhode Island itself, or Rhode Island’s artificial intelligence!
Zhou Jinru immediately confirmed the identity of the other party, but there was no other possibility!
"You have to send me back, now, immediately, immediately!"
"I just want to see you, but the first thing you did was point this gun at me..."
The woman showed a sad look, and considering that she was indeed Precious, Zhou Jinru didn't know what to say for a while, and his tough attitude also tended to relax.
"Doctor, please reply when you hear me. I need your answer immediately."
Kelsey's voice suddenly came, and her words caused Precious' expression on the opposite side to change slightly, and he grabbed Zhou Jinru's sleeve: "Can we stay for a few more minutes?"
"Doctor, I have detected an abnormality in your data here. Please answer immediately when you hear it. I will open a special channel to bring you back."
For a moment, Zhou Jinru felt that his left hand was being grasped by Kelsey and his right hand was being grasped by Precious, both of whom were pulling him in his direction.
"week."
Just when Zhou Jinru was hesitating, Amiya's voice also came: "Doctor, where are you? Why can't I find you?"
He couldn't wait any longer and whispered: "Kelsey, I'm here."
"Roger, the channel is open, five seconds to count down, four, three, two, one."
Zhou Jinru's vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was standing next to Amiya, but Kelsey was nowhere to be seen.
Amiya held his hand tightly and said nervously: "Doctor, where have you been?"
"I don't know, maybe there's something wrong with the data, maybe. I heard Dr. Kelsey's voice. Didn't she come?"
Amiya shook her head.
"Okay, how far along is it now?"
In front of his eyes, a huge sandbox map appeared, with the heads of each member of the three reserve groups flashing.
"What is their mission?"
Amiya replied: "Escape from this abandoned city."
Zhou Jinru stretched out his hand and the sand table shrank rapidly, and the reserve group's current location was in the center of the city.
