The world enters the age of mythology.

"Oh, yes! Don't hang up yet!"

Lu Yiming added quickly: "This matter may involve something... I feel that I may be entangled in something, and a big eyeball seems to be staring at me in a corner! It will come to me at any time. !"

"Please, please believe me!"

"Maybe I will die after a while? The body will not be found by then."

"What's that... Okay, we'll deal with it for sure, please don't be too nervous, stay at home first, and close the door of the room."

Since there was a possibility of a murder case, with a responsible attitude, the operator still recorded everything Lu Yiming said on the computer file.

Then I'm going to call my colleagues to check whether the so-called "live room 11309" really has an accident.

This kind of cross-province case is not as easy to deal with as it is imagined, and requires many steps in the middle.

But the moment she finished the record, the internal big data intelligent system processed and analyzed the keywords and came to a special conclusion!

The artificial intelligence reported this conclusion, and at the same time automatically intercepted this mission.

The operator was called shortly after.

"Hey, is it Xiao Zhong? Don't worry about 11309 in the live broadcast room... Someone else has already taken over."

"Huh? Is that so?" Xiao Zhong was a little puzzled. It seemed that she had just recorded the document, and her superiors already knew it.

"Yes, it's okay, you don't need to intervene in this matter."

……

In the Yunhai City branch, a striking red alert appeared on the computer screens of each staff member.

"Dr. Ding, the traces of C-30981 have appeared again, and someone reported that they saw something!"

"Then call the police directly."

The person in charge of the institute rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and then flipped through the specific files. He said with a little doubt: "Isn't the live broadcast cut off in time? Why did the signal spread again?"

"I don't know, it may involve the special ability of the living body, or there may be other reasons."

"The witnesses didn't die?"

"I'm currently in my room."

"If that's the case, we really have to find a way to deal with it... Are there any of our staff there?"

"There are a few... However, we don't seem to have a particularly perfect solution."

Dr. Ding was silent for a moment, "But we have an imperfect solution... Everyone prepare."

At the thought of completely solving a living body, all the workers seemed a little nervous and a little excited.

Because it brings disasters and opportunities at the same time, it means new research objects when technology is stagnant, and even represents the fate of mankind and... the future to a certain extent!

……

After about half an hour, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Yiming tiptoed over and carefully observed the situation outside through the cat's eyes. The fruit knife he had just found was hidden in his crotch.

It's not that he is timid, but the situation forces him to be careful.

"Who are you?" Lu Yiming asked.

A short-haired girl stood outside the door, looking in her twenties, wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts.

Standing next to him was a boy about 1.8 meters tall, with a slightly pale face and a taciturn look.

"You're the unlucky guy?" The girl showed her pointed tiger teeth and said with a smile, "Quickly open the door, we are here to help you solve the problem, you can call me Jin Lili, this is my partner, Zhong Peng. Believe it or not."

Lu Yiming pondered for a while, but after finding nothing strange, he opened the door of the room.

"Please come in."

The short-haired girl kept looking at him and said with a little playfulness, "Your name is Lu Yiming?"

"it's me."

"How did you provoke that thing. I remember that we had cut off the live broadcast room in time, and there should be no follow-up content. If there is no communication channel, that guy is equivalent to being sealed."

"It has to spread the curse before it can attack humans."

Lu Yiming was a little embarrassed, "Because, what... um, I'm a hacker... Although the live broadcast room was blocked, the transmission signal was not interrupted."

Before awakening his superpowers, he was a programmer of a network company, so he still knows a lot about this.

"I've been following that anchor for a long time, and I also communicated privately... In fact, I still want to learn something from him..."

Although he had prepared for a certain amount of time, Lu Yiming was still a little stumped when he spoke of panic.He couldn't help but sigh that after he resigned, he stayed in the house for a long time, so that his social skills declined a lot.

Jin Lili sat casually on a chair. Although this room was not big, it was generally clean and tidy, not as dirty as traditional boys.

She was slightly relieved, "Well, if the signal is not broadcast by a living body, it means that you are unlucky... Your current situation is quite dangerous, and the special ceremony of C-30981 has been triggered. As soon as you enter the stairwell, there is a It may be pulled into a different dimension. What will happen next, I believe you have seen..."

"Special ceremony?" Lu Yiming asked a little puzzled.

"It's the jargon in the industry."

Jin Lili smiled and said: "There are some weird creatures that only attack the creatures that trigger the ritual, such as the eyeball you said you saw, or when you heard the word 'I saw you', it is the trigger C The special ritual of -30981's attack... is equivalent to a curse. In this room, the two of us have never been exposed to this ritual, and no matter how we go up and down the stairs, we will not be attacked."

"It's basically like this, understand? Since you're probably the only victim, it'll keep staring at you until you get to a certain staircase, and then it's pulled in."

Lu Yiming thought for a while, then smiled bitterly: "...that means, as long as I hide in the room all day long and don't go to the stairs, there will be no accident, right?"

"I keep ordering takeaways and let others deliver all three meals a day. Can I stay until the end of the world?"

Jin Lili couldn't help laughing. She nodded and said, "You have a good idea. You are very good at exploiting loopholes. When dealing with this kind of living being, exploiting loopholes is a necessary survival instinct."

"Of course, this kind of loophole is probably just a superficial phenomenon, because we don't know much about this kind of life. Maybe it has other properties. For example, if you have a dream, you dream that you are climbing stairs, and then the whole Someone went in again; or one day suddenly sleepwalked and accidentally walked out of the room while sleeping, it's all possible."

"And, what is the definition of stairs? Maybe you take a step, or walk in some uneven places, and you will be pulled into a different space. Don't try to reason with monsters."

"So, do you really plan to spend the rest of your life in this small room?"

Chapter 6 Self... Self-destruct?

Lu Yiming's face changed, which he didn't expect.

Regarding the definition of stairs, are monsters the same as humans?

Everything at present is summed up by people based on experience, and it is not necessarily completely correct.

That alone is deadly enough!

The tone of the short-haired girl gradually became serious: "Now let me tell you some basic characteristics of C-30981, listen carefully, this is related to your life."

"After C-30981 pulls people into a different space, you will be in an endless stairwell, whether you go up or down, there are endless stairs."

"Then you might hear a cry for help."

"I know this." Lu Yiming nodded, because he had witnessed all this with his own eyes.

"We highly suspect that its purpose is to induce fear in humans."

"Fear...why?"

Jin Lili said: "Of course it is to attack you better. When you have no fear, there is no weakness in the psychological level, so you can't approach the sound source, you can only wander endlessly in the stairwell."

"When you have fear in your heart, no matter how you move, you will continue to approach the source of the sound. When the level of panic reaches a certain level, you may lose control of your body... That is, when the brain is in the stage of fatigue, you will suffer from the mental level. attack."

"This is just known information, not necessarily completely accurate..."

Lu Yiming's face was a little ugly, thinking about various countermeasures in his heart.

"What she said should be true. That's how the anchor was played to death. Due to excessive fear, he suddenly lost control of his body, and then...that was eaten."

"Sounds incomprehensible..."

Since it was already eleven o'clock at night, the two of them were sent to work overtime, and they seemed a little sleepy.

The other boy, Zhong Peng, just stood there in a daze with no expression on his face, not talking and ignoring others.

Lu Yiming asked, "Don't you have anything like Maoshan Taoist priests, cultivators, runes, etc.?"

Jin Lili rolled her eyes: "No, you seem to think too highly of us, this is a scientific world, there is no way to cultivate immortals, and there is no way to catch ghosts and Taoists. Our researchers believe that supernatural phenomena are just a universe that has not yet been cracked. Mystery."

"But uncracked means mystery, and it also means unknown."

Lu Yiming stretched out a finger: "Power armor, give me a power armor with artificial intelligence, the kind that can fire automatically! After seeing a monster, just shoot it and kill it, right?"

"There is no such thing."

Zhong Peng, who has been in a daze, said: "Our technology is actually terrible, and a robot with a high degree of freedom like Power Armor can't do it at all. It only exists in science fiction at present."

Lu Yiming gritted his teeth and said, "Then just give me a tank, let me sit in the tank, and even if my body is manipulated, the artificial intelligence can shoot."

Jin Lili was a little surprised by Lu Yiming's whimsy, and couldn't help laughing twice: "This method sounds good...but it's actually impossible to operate. Let's not talk about how to get the tank into the city, that thing is very It might just pull you into the otherworld and leave the tank in place."

Lu Yiming felt a little irritable, "Then what can you think of?"

This special department is too weak, far weaker than he imagined.

Humans are so weak!

A blush appeared on Jin Lili's face, and she seemed a little embarrassed. She carefully took out a watch-like thing from her backpack.

"what is this?"

"Time bomb, it monitors your pulse. If your pulse goes off, it explodes in two seconds and smashes everything around."

Lu Yiming's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he understood what the other party meant.

Supernatural being C-30981, the most difficult part is how to see its body.

It will only appear when the fear value of the attacked person is greatly increased, the consciousness is blurred, and the body is taken over.

But in the state where the body is controlled, with its own strength, there is no ability to resist at all.

The best way, then, is to take a bomb and die with it.

But why me? !

I lost my life!

Lu Yiming said a little unconvinced: "Is there any good way?"

Jin Lili was a little helpless: "First of all, it is already staring at you now, and you are the first priority; secondly, after all, it is only a C-3 level disaster, and its transmission channel has been cut off, if it is not for you to trigger it conditions, it is likely not to appear in this world... so..."

"In other words, there is no other way?"

Lu Yiming wiped the sweat from his face.

Jin Lili sighed and said, "This is the best way we can think of."

"You can think about this... self-destruction plan... We can understand how you feel, but we really don't have a better way. Otherwise, it won't help you, will it?"

"If you can accept this plan, whether it is successful or not, we will pay your parents a generous pension."

"And this plan is not inevitable. We still have a series of back-ups, including stimulants, pain medicines, etc... There is a certain chance of success."

"Of course, you can take a gamble and live in this room all the time as an otaku. If C-30981's attack conditions are never triggered, maybe you'll be lucky enough to survive and live a very nerdy lifestyle. Live your life."

"However, once you choose this lifestyle, we can't stay here all the time to protect your safety. We have our own things to do, we can't stay here all the time to protect you, I hope you can understand."

……

"You think about it carefully, just rest tonight, we will come back tomorrow morning, and there will be some more professional staff in charge of the whole plan..."

"Remember not to leave the room door!"

Half an hour later, the two withdrew from Lu Yiming's room.

Many things are helpless.

They really can't do anything about it, they're not pretending.

"It's not peaceful recently. This kind of inexplicable things are increasing. Before, there was no C-3 incident for a month or two."

Zhong Peng sighed, "I don't know how long this peaceful life can last."

"As for the S-level natural disaster, it may be getting closer... I hope that the current life can continue for a while longer."

Jin Lili looked at the moon hanging above her head and smiled: "Is it the prophecy of No. [-]? I really want to know what the S-class super natural disaster is..."

"It's so difficult for us to even solve this C-class disaster right now."
