All virtual games were banned. The ban was so broad that all players had no virtual games to play and were forced to quit the game, cursing.
Some irritable old men went directly to the institute to curse, but those people were quickly detained by the robot police for two weeks and treated as troublemakers.
According to incomplete statistics, more than one billion players are active in virtual games every day.
The total population of Orange Star is only about 4 billion. Some of the people live in alien colonies, and most of the people live on the home planet.
It stands to reason that Nightmare Disease could have infected hundreds of millions of people at that time.
But there is a problem here. It takes time to spread through the Internet.
Furthermore, the officials discovered the problem very quickly at the time and quickly blocked it.
Secondly, most people are playing games. They play games for more than ten hours at a time, and some play them all day long.
Even if you quit the game, you won't pay attention to the technology panel. After all, it takes a certain amount of knowledge to understand those scientific research reports, and entertainment players don't want to know.
There are too many news items with shocking headlines. Many people only glance at the headlines or click on them to have a quick glance.
In other words, chatting on social software, internal communication within the institute, and online friend circles have spread the most.
When the General Research Institute warned everyone not to sleep, the announcement did not reveal all the contents of the nightmare, otherwise the impact would be on another level.
There were more than 40 million people with nightmare disease officially recorded in the past. These people have all been emigrated. In fact, there are a large number of surveillance cameras tracking them.
Spreading nightmares requires detailed nightmare content. Shouting with a loudspeaker is a feasible idea, but the communicator needs to tell the story completely, otherwise it will not be able to infect the other party.
It is this time difference that gives the police robot time to respond quickly.
But even though the Orange Star people were so tight on defense, they still failed.
A large number of NPCs in a virtual game "Orange City" were infected, and similar cases of NPCs leaving their territory occurred in other virtual games.
I don’t know how many players have been accidentally infected by the NPC. It takes time to tell the story. People who have never heard of it think that the NPC releases a new mission to "dream".
No one knows when the nightmare disease will start a new round of spread, so the General Research Institute made a decision to temporarily close all games except the virtual games "World" and "Pinch Face".
Virtual games should not be opened until the problem is identified and practical prevention methods are found.
One billion netizens are making a fuss online and making a lot of noise.
In this highly intelligent society that has solved the problem of food and clothing in advance, no virtual games are equivalent to no electricity and no Internet in ancient times.
It's so boring, I can't stay in the real world for a moment, otherwise I'll get moldy if I stay there any longer.
"Orange Star Research Institute: Stopping the game is for everyone's benefit. This is a critical period. Let's tide over the difficulties together and work together!"
The General Research Institute has spoken out. As the number one place for scientific research in the interstellar industry, its reputation and prestige are undoubtedly the top in the industry. Everyone temporarily suppressed their annoyance and waited for the General Research Institute to deal with it.
"Believe in the General Research Institute. Even though I don't know what happened, just believe it and that's it."
"Is this the disease that caused a lot of trouble last time? I know the name, but I don't know the specific content because I have no interest in knowing about it. I thought it was just a minor illness and would be cured soon. I didn't expect it to be cured now. Instead of curing the problem, all games were banned, which is terrible."
"Ahem, not all games are dreams. At present, "World" and "Pinch Face" have not been shut down. One is to conquer the BOSS of the second round, and the other is prepared for the dream world. Everyone knows it."
"The words Dream World are not blocked?"
"I'm talking about dreams, do you know what they are about? You won't be tricked just by me mentioning a name. If you want to be tricked, you must at least listen to my story for a few minutes!"
"It's ten minutes now. It used to take less than one minute to tell a story, and the difficulty of communication jumps a level every day." A researcher bubbled up and dropped a bombshell.
Nightmare Disease Spreads Slowly!
Yes, as the world of nightmare disease becomes more and more complete, new patients who want to enter the nightmare world need to hear more nightmare content before they can enter the dream world.
Texts now spread faster than conversations, as long as you read the content, but a cursory scan is not stable enough and takes longer.
…
Ke Meng didn't know that Cheng Xing was in trouble. He had been waiting for Liu Siting to transform.
If she doesn't transform, it will be difficult for believers to make new breakthroughs.
At this time, Liu Siting, who was soaking in the water, climbed out of the bathtub and stared at the water in the bathtub, silently.
The temperament on her body suddenly became different. At this moment, Liu Siting's temperament was more solid, and she was chanting strange spells.
Mantras have the magical power to mobilize their own spirituality, but reciting mantras by normal people has no effect because their emotions are not strong enough and their strength is not enough, so their recitations are in vain.
At this moment, Liu Siting has entered a strange state. As her mouth opens and closes, her throat makes strange sounds, mobilizing the whole body's spirituality, making her body and soul closer.
This is a space-based skill. It is not easy to activate every time. It will consume your own energy and your spirituality will also be reduced in a short period of time.
After reciting the mantra, Liu Siting's eyes were dull and unfocused, but her soul was highly condensed and she could feel the surface of a lake she had been to before.
In an instant, she jumped lightly, like a diver, with her hands together, her lower back bent, her legs together in the air, and she plunged into the water of the bathtub like a dolphin.
The bathtub was made by Orange Star people and was not big. It stands to reason that Liu Siting would definitely hit the wall of the bathtub after jumping in.
But she did not hit the wall of the bathtub. Her streamlined body was submerged in the water without even a splash. It was like a mirror. A person was reflected in the mirror, but the person was not under the water. She disappeared directly.
Ke Meng was very excited when he saw this scene.
I finally learned it.
I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and finally a believer has learned His skills.
Kemeng used synaesthesia to track Liu Siting and saw Liu Siting jumping out of the water of a huge lake, then turning like a sharp arrow and plunging into the water.
Liu Siting sank to the bottom of the water and hit a reef. Fortunately, she would not die. Liu Siting slowly swam up with a groan.
Ke Meng could feel that the other party was in a very bad state. Her energy and spirit had been drained from her body. Her spirituality was no longer so sensitive and it would take some time to recover.
After a while, Liu Siting's body left the dream and returned to reality.
With water all around her, she crawled out from the floor, her body weak and her mind groggy.
Nothing came to her mind. Liu Siting only had one thought at the moment, rest!
Lying on the bed, eyes half closed.
Once she falls asleep, she will enter the dream world again, and she cannot fall asleep completely.
At this time, the food delivery robot brought in today's breakfast, along with an internal newspaper from the institute, which published some research results and recent major events.
As soon as she got the newspaper, Liu Siting saw the announcement that all games except "World" and "Pinch Face" would be suspended.
