This kind of blatant surveillance behavior eliminates the need for the eight people to do small tricks.
Liu Siting knew that her behavior must be normal, otherwise she would not have a chance to return to the virtual game "The World".
However, in the opinion of the superiors, there must be some ulterior secret behind eight people playing ancient computer games.
…
"They know the contents of the nightmare disease and can enter the dream world every night. Although our people control them in the dream world, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents." A certain researcher slid out a blank sheet of paper several times.
Someone looked at the image data on the desktop. The white paper was full of chaotic lines, disordered and illogical.
The contents of the white paper come from crazy people in the dream world. Although those crazy people regained their rationality after coming out, the researcher believes that they are potential lunatics and cannot be allowed to enter the virtual game "World" again.
In addition, every time they fell asleep, Orange Star also sent people to watch them.
The only confirmed information is that the chaotic lines are related to evil gods. The pictures drawn by the patients in the virtual game "World" who looked directly at the sacrifices were in this style.
The birth of nightmare disease originated from the initial spread of language, and researchers directed all clues to Cthulhu.
The evil god Cthulhu is the biggest enemy of Orange Star.
"Will ancient games hide information about the evil god Cthulhu?"
Experts from the institute expressed doubts in the conference hall and preconceivedly defined the actions of the eight believers as searching for Cthulhu.
"We should also check some ancient games to see if there is any information related to words such as Cthulhu." The person in charge of public safety said solemnly, giving the artificial intelligence a search task.
Artificial intelligence immediately retrieves ancient games stored on the server.
This kind of ancient games cannot use virtual machines and can only be played with backward keyboard and mouse computers. The amount of information is countless times less than that of virtual games.
The artificial intelligence searched very quickly. Besides, this was the main hospital, and the entire planet's resources were deployed by it. It completed the search for all computer game information in ten minutes.
"There are no computer games with Cthulhu culture, but there are many games that contain sacrificial plots," the artificial intelligence informed.
"Sacrifice?"
"Is it possible to sacrifice to Cthulhu in a computer game?"
Everyone made eye contact and immediately switched to the computer monitoring desktop of Liu Siting and others.
I saw eight people playing a decryption game together, using LAN to connect and decrypt together.
Decryption doesn't matter, the point is that this game happens to have a sacrifice plot found by artificial intelligence.
In this decryption game, the sacrifice plot is not the main core, but just one of the tasks.
Through investigation, the protagonists of the game discovered that a group of evil believers were playing sacrifice.
The protagonist group rescued the sacrificed children in time, and then followed the clues to find out a human trafficking gang operating across provinces.
It is essentially a case against illegal child trafficking, and sacrifice is just a part of the plot.
But in the eyes of Orange Star people, this sacrifice plot has serious problems.
As soon as Liu Siting and others got started, they found a game with a sacrificial plot. They said they had no problem, but no one believed it.
"They haven't played the sacrifice process yet, but they will reach the sacrifice stage after playing for another two hours. My suggestion is to stop them from playing this game and change to a safer game." The Minister of Public Safety said solemnly, asking Everyone’s opinion.
"I disagree. We need to know more information. If the sacrifice ceremony in the computer game is really successful, it means that the evil god Cthulhu is not limited to the virtual game "World"."
"There are too many games with sacrifice plots, and they don't necessarily trigger anything."
The researchers had a heated discussion and split into two groups.
One group believed that it must be stopped. Liu Siting and the eight people suddenly shouted that they wanted to play computer games. It was not that they were unprepared. This was a conspiracy by evil believers.
Another faction advocates support.
Supporters have put the safety of the lives of eight believers at a lower level, hoping to use these eight believers to test whether the computer game sacrifice can be successful.
Time jumps forward minute by minute to one hour later.
The eight people were initially exposed to the prelude of the sacrifice plot mission, and heard that children disappeared frequently in a certain mountain village.
The eight people of "Liu Siting" were having a great time when they were suddenly told by their superiors to suspend the game.
"Please pause, we have sent a psychiatrist and we need to know your thoughts."
The psychiatrists filed in wearing white coats with gentle smiles on their faces, as gentle as the spring breeze.
Each person was invited to a separate booth, where they chatted on a bench and asked each other in depth why they wanted to play that detective game.
"There's no reason. I just thought I could play online via LAN, so I started playing." The purple-haired Liu Siting shook her head. The reason was that simple, there was no other reason.
"Is there something wrong with that game?" Liu Siting asked insinuatingly.
The psychiatrist shook her head, but her headphones vibrated. She nodded slightly and said, "There may be nothing wrong with the game itself, but we don't know what you want to do, so we want to know about it in advance."
"I don't have any ideas. I just play games to relieve my boredom." Liu Siting said puzzledly.
"Then when you chose a game, did you specifically choose this game?"
"No, I didn't. I chose it randomly." Liu Siting denied.
Half an hour later, Liu Siting returned to the computer desk again, and her companions also returned to their seats at this time.
"What were you asked?" Liu Siting asked.
"Ask me if I have any thoughts like that."
"Same, they ask the same question."
"What about you?" All seven people turned their heads and looked at Liu Siting.
Liu Siting remained silent, and the seven of them were silent for three seconds. They stopped asking questions and continued playing the game.
In the game, the characters walk slowly under their control, following the mission route, entering backward villages, and investigating the mystery of the missing children.
The Orange Star people did not prohibit them from playing games, and their gaming behavior was tacitly approved by their superiors.
The supervisors also listened to the conversation between the eight believers and uploaded the conversation to the top.
The team of psychological analysts is fully engaged in analyzing the thoughts behind several people.
"'That thought' refers to sacrifice."
"The psychiatrist didn't mention sacrifice when asking questions, but the other party knew our purpose. This keen sixth sense is very similar to that group of people who went crazy and then returned to sanity. It was the evil god who influenced them!"
Analysts analyzed the behavior of the eight people from various angles. The more they analyzed, the more useless information was produced.
The top management ignores useless information and focuses on their bizarre behavior.
"This wave can only allow them to take risks, for the sake of all mankind."
"Their subjective will is voluntary. No one is forcing them. Please be open-minded."
"I'm just worried that the successful sacrifice will have an impact on Orange Star. Although it sounds nonsense, the nightmare disease has really happened, and we can't stand new disasters."
"I don't think the sacrifice can be successful. They don't have the space-time stone powder at all. This is the necessary material for sacrifice according to the ghost. Without it, the sacrifice cannot be performed."
Researchers have thoroughly checked this detective game. There is no space-time stone powder in the game at all, and it does not constitute a summoning condition.
They even sent normal game researchers to play this computer game, use background operations to fast-forward the plot, and play the sacrifice plot before them.
The result is that nothing happens.
So they want to know what will happen if a Cthulhu follower plays the game, or nothing at all.
Only by further understanding and solving the mystery can we overcome the fear caused by the unknown.
