Orange star.
The research room of the institute.
The two young girls had slightly nervous expressions on their faces. They were wearing pink short-sleeves and cool shorts, and their two pairs of white legs were restlessly clamped together.
"When we exited the game, we didn't know something happened to the three of them." Player "White Milk" shook his head and said.
Another girl also shook her head and said: "I am a member of the temporary team and I don't know them in real life."
The investigator nodded and asked some questions, generally asking whether they had any unusual physical sensations during their confinement.
Because the investigators found that when the player recorded the video, he said that he adjusted the game to zero, but the player still acted very cold, as if he was in an environment of minus 30 degrees.
What confused the investigators was that in the content recorded in the system video, there was no snowstorm or environmental change in the form of cooling, and the status bar on their bodies did not show negative buffs such as "cold".
There are only two negative buffs that the investigators have seen, namely "Confinement" and "Poisoning".
At that time, the player looked up at the dark night in the weird kobold mountain village, but there was nothing in the dark night in the video.
People from the game company currently suspect that the three players are mentally disturbed and have hallucinations of the five senses, thus triggering an abnormal brain wave alarm in the game cabin.
People who are mentally disturbed are not allowed to enter the game cabin to play games.
The game cabin cannot scan the opponent's brain. It essentially uses brain waves to play the game without inserting brain electrodes. Therefore, once the player's brain waves are abnormal, the alarm mechanism will be triggered.
"I didn't feel any abnormality. I didn't pay attention to this kind of thing at the time." The female player shook her head and denied.
"But that period of confinement is really quite long. Doesn't that hide the beginning of the plot?"
The investigator shook his head, "Sorry, I am not responsible for game plot development. I can only say that what the kobold NPC did was not within the game company's plan. They were spontaneous intelligent thinking behaviors, and the computing resources they occupied at the time did not exceed Default upper limit.”
To put it simply, the intelligence of kobold NPCs is equivalent to that of an ordinary home artificial intelligence, and they can think independently.
After questioning the two female players, the investigator updated the files of the two female players and wrote "no abnormalities yet."
That night, the three players woke up.
The institute sent brain expert researchers to investigate their mental states.
When the three players woke up, they were shocked to see a group of people in research uniforms surrounding the hospital bed.
"Don't worry, we are personnel from the Omnic City Research Institute, and we are here specifically to investigate what happened to you in the game." When the brain expert asked, he also closely checked the brain waves of the three people.
Leather Assassin player Wang Qing heard what the other party said, and his fuzzy brain vaguely thought of something, but he couldn't remember it.
"I don't seem to remember." Wang Qing rubbed his head and said.
"Amnesia? Well, it should be caused by amnesia after the brain encounters huge mental stimulation..." the brain expert analyzed calmly.
The other two players were similar. They didn't remember what they played in the game. They really couldn't recall that memory.
If you think about it forcefully, your head will feel severe pain, which will make people miserable and give up thinking.
When brain experts saw this situation, they felt a little anxious.
If something is not done, this accident can only end with the title "The player's mental abnormality caused the game cabin to sound an alarm."
Soon, someone received the latest order: "The director said that for the purpose of treating people, we should learn a little bit about it during the treatment of mental trauma."
The brain expert nodded and could only do this.
To treat mental trauma, mild hypnosis can be used to elicit the other person's subconscious, and the subconscious can be used to treat the patient's mental state.
After the doctors decided on the treatment, they disclosed the reasons to the three patients to let the patients know their condition.
The three of them learned that they have memory gaps and may encounter unknown mental trauma. Currently, the institute has a safe and high-success rate treatment for amnesia that they can try to treat.
The three patients believe in the strength of the institute, which not only studies industrial technology but also conducts in-depth research on other technologies.
After signing the treatment consent form, the three came to the Omnic City Research Institute in the early morning of that night.
As mentioned before, the player is in very good health and does not need to lie down in bed to rest. There is no abnormality in mental state. Because the brain blocks that memory on its own, the three of them act like normal people and cannot remember what they did in the game yesterday.
Leather Assassin player Wang Qing entered a closed secret room. There were some very beautiful scenery photos in the secret room. The pastoral scenery was endless, and his nose also smelled the fragrance of some flowers and plants. There was also a cute and gentle female doctor sitting there. There, looking at him gently, he asked him to take a seat.
Wang Qing's tense nerves relaxed unconsciously.
He sat on a soft chair and chatted with the female doctor. He did not talk about amnesia or games. The two of them communicated harmoniously and naturally like friends.
As he spoke, Wang Qing felt his consciousness sink a little, the sounds in his ears gradually became blurred, and his brain thought slower.
The female doctor began to take the initiative to lead the topic, took out a lightweight drawing board, placed it in front of Wang Qing's desk, and asked him to draw something on the paper.
He couldn't remember what he wanted to draw, so he subconsciously obeyed the other party's request and drew casually with his hands.
In the eyes of the female doctor and the surveillance camera, the painting changed from blank to a simple scribble.
He painted a bit slowly, and his hands moved according to his subconscious, gradually outlining the background of countless little black figures kneeling in the mountain village.
Among them, there are five stick figures with different painting styles from the black villain. The black villain is wearing a hat and has no face, while the stick figure's head has eyes, mouth, nose and ears, representing the five players.
The painting style is hazy and unclear, like a child's graffiti. It is not the work of a master painter, but everyone can see the meaning expressed in the painting.
That was the scene when the player lost his memory. It was also the scene that impressed his brain the most and had the greatest impact.
After painting the mountain village and the black villain, Wang Qing began to draw a well, which seemed to be the arc of a magic circle.
Suddenly, his palm suddenly exerted force and shook crazily in the blank space above the well. The messy and crazy lines cut through the paper like lightning!
At this time, the monitor beeped.
"Warning! The patient's heartbeat has risen to 150 beats per minute!"
"Warning! The brain wave changes are too drastic! The patient is too excited and nervous!"
The female doctor began to sweat on her forehead. She glanced at the other person's unfinished painting, gritted her teeth, and had no choice but to stop the treatment.
Snapped!
She snapped her fingers.
The snap of his fingers was like a switch to return to consciousness. When Wang Qing, who was crazy, heard the snap of his fingers, his head was like a thunderous explosion, and he woke up immediately.
The drawing movement on his hand stopped immediately. He blinked, completely unaware of what just happened, and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, where were we talking about just now?"
After he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. He subconsciously lowered his head and saw a child's graffiti-like painting of a mountain village ritual.
"What's this?"
"Why am I holding a pen?"
Leather-armored assassin player Wang Qing was confused. Looking at this ugly painting, he felt a sense of familiarity for some reason.
He blinked, and the stick figure in the painting seemed to come alive, moved his head, and glanced at him.
But when he looked at the painting in his hand, the stick figure didn't look at him. Instead, he looked up at the messy lines above the well.
He must have been blinded.
