Another Life: Elf Archer

The self-protection mechanism of the game world

This brand-new concept confused everyone for a moment, and then the strangeness of the two of them became the focus of attention.

Jiang Jinse sighed again and again, with a hint of worry in his brows. Simil stepped back and back again, with shock written all over his face.

Nick did not give everyone a chance to ask questions, and ignored the shocked Simil, but continued to deepen the topic further:

"As for the first point, after we reunite with the twins, Dr. Lao Jiang will analyze with them what measures Albert will probably take to control Cy. If necessary, we may need to use real-life resources to verify."

Jiang Jinse thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said cautiously:

"I don't have access to the core of Country H, and it's impossible for me to be involved in my position for personal reasons."

Nick waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"I know, please don't worry, I will never force others to make things difficult. Being able to know the existence of the self-protection mechanism is the most important help Dr. Jiang has given us."

Jiang Jinse smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement, deliberately ignoring the probing eyes of others.

She didn't tell Nick that this game world had a self-protection mechanism. Nick just got a few words out of her mouth, and he didn't know where he got it from for verification. No, maybe he didn't ask for verification, but just his guess. But unfortunately, Simil's reaction just now has completely confirmed this guess.

"You can consider contacting Dr. Walton. He should know many details."

Now that Nick had been tricked, Jiang Jinse stopped being secretive and directly reminded him.

"Well, we can let the twins try."

Nick immediately assigned this task, turning the silver knife lightly on his fingertips, looking at his companions with his sharp eyes that were a little soft.

"I don't know your identities outside the game. If Cy's situation cannot be discovered, we may need to put pressure on you in the real world to make things worse."

Sara was the first to express her full cooperation, and Alexander immediately responded. York and Dion said they would do their best, John silently nodded in agreement, and Nick glanced at it, knowing what he knew, raised his eyebrows and chuckled:

"Don't put too much pressure on me, the leader of the group is not just an empty decoration."

Curious eyes immediately fell on Nick. He waved his hand gently and winked, indicating that he would elaborate in private later.

"I will also cooperate," Shisui suddenly interjected, "I have a friend who can also help."

Nick hummed. He knew a little bit about Sui and the friend he mentioned. He immediately responded with a relatively gentle smile, looking as if he was gratifying the incompetent junior.

Ni Ni rubbed his nose, An Xin shut up and listened to the command. Even though he was Ni Ni's nominal brother and a well-known leader in the Huaxia District, he still lacked aura in front of Nick at this moment.

Another person who was suppressed by Nick's momentum was Simil, who finally regained his composure.

"Where did you know this self-protection mechanism? Who are you?"

Simil's eyes were burning, and he glanced sharply at Jiang Jinse, who was standing quietly at the side, his tone full of aggression.

"If you are asking about your identity outside the game," seeing that Nick had no intention of answering, Jiang Jinse had no choice but to be honest, "my name is Jiang Sinian, I currently live in country c, and I received a naturalization invitation letter from country h five years ago. .”

Simil's anger suddenly turned into surprise:

"It's that Jiang Sinian of yours who claims he will never leave the country."

Country h is not a country in the secular concept. Every year, it extends an olive branch to talents in various fields from all over the world. Some people will happily accept it, while others will firmly refuse it. Jiang Sinian is the one who refused to recruit for three consecutive years. A maverick.

The whole world knows that country h has the most relaxed, comfortable and advanced research environment. The mobilization of research resources only needs to be reported to "Frankenstein". There will never be any indifference between public and private affairs and the use of power to suppress people, let alone any harm. interpersonal and political distractions to valuable researchers.

In addition, Country H's own scientific and technological "foundation" is also very solid. Many of the most advanced technologies and research results will not be easily spread. If you want to go further in the field you are interested in, joining Country H is the best choice.

Therefore, the name of Jiang Sinian, an outstanding and willful talent, will inevitably enter the ears of everyone in country H, and they will also chat about it in their spare time.

Hearing this name, the others were still confused, but Shi Sui, Sanchi Shui and Shao Wu couldn't help but trembled. They all took a few steps away and respectfully saluted Jiang Jinse.

This is a well-known person in the country. Of course the three of them are familiar with him, but they did not expect that this powerful figure who has been commended many times by the country's top leaders would play games with unlearned young people like themselves. However, thinking of the person who only wants to Mu Benzun, who wanted to win the heart of the chivalrous girl, suddenly felt a deep sympathy in his heart, and decided to restrain the two guilds from fighting openly and secretly in the future, just to give some face to the reckless man who was destined to be heartbroken.

Simil is also thinking about the same question:

Why would a person like Jiang Sinian come here to play games? He has great experience in playing games. He is also a disciple, and he is also running world missions. The time and energy invested in this can completely support another research project.

With a flash of inspiration, Simil thought of something Albert once said

"Those three free ports that put artificial data bodies in accordance with the agreement"

Jiang Jinse smiled and said nothing, while Nick raised his eyebrows and said in approval:

"Not bad, quick response, not stupid."

Simil immediately felt blessed:

“The other two places are for twins”

"You only met her through the twins, and you learned about the existence of the self-protection mechanism from their mouths. You want to use this self-protection mechanism to save Nian Nian."

Faced with Simil's repeated questions, Nick was obviously a little impatient, so he only picked out the key points and answered:

"I want to activate this self-protection mechanism. As for whether I can save Cy, I'm not sure."

He didn't even understand what this self-protection mechanism was, and all he had now was just speculation. This was actually a step to take a step back from the bottom of the pot. According to his intuition, even if he couldn't save Cy home, he could still make this game world better. The foundation is completely exposed to the sunshine of the real world.

Since some people want to cut off Cy's retreat, let's all stop trying to retreat. Whether we live or die depends on God's will.

Jiang Jinse felt that he needed to clarify for the colleague behind the twins:

"Except for myself, even your immediate boss Albert doesn't know my real information. Nick first recognized my artificial data body before confirming my existence."

"Um"

Simil was surprised, and when he thought about it, he couldn't determine which player around Jiang Jinse had the problem.

My friend Song Qing used to be a parent officer in Chang'an City. He knew the Jiang family's sect quite well at that time. He analyzed them one by one using the elimination method. After a few seconds, he asked with some disbelief:

"Could it be that painter Su Ze?"

At this time, Nick was too lazy to accompany these people to discuss his analysis ideas in depth. He called the members of the mercenary group and Qi Youfeng to step aside and discussed the next actions in a low voice.

This meeting place with the dragon team and Simil was carefully considered. It can be advanced, attacked, retreated, or defended. It will not draw attention too close to the Pope's Hall, nor will it run into the undead army in advance. For the time being, they still need to stay in the original location. Wait for the twins to avoid missing each other.

As Nick just said, the most important thing is to confirm where to go every year.

On the other side, Sui and Simil also explained how Nick discovered Su Ze's special characteristics and how he suspected Jiang Jinse's identity.

Painters paint, poets write poems, everyone who has a place in the field of artistic creation will inevitably incorporate their own experiences and moods when creating works.

In other words, there is no absolutely objective and rational artistic creation. Every painting and every line must be the author’s own expression.

Su Ze's paintings are vivid and can easily arouse empathy, not because Su Ze incorporates his own emotions into the paintings, but because those paintings can arouse the viewer's thoughts intact.

Shi Sui thought of the Thousand Faces Painting Su Ze once made for Nien Nian. Whether it is a baby or an old age, human or animal, happy or crazy, dignified or charming, there are thousands of faces and shapes, but it all depends on the viewer. Here, everyone is undoubtedly Nian Nian himself.

Is this because Su Ze has superb painting skills?

Indeed, part of the reason lies in technique, and more probably because Su Ze is not a "human", so he does not have a human "self", so his paintings will not be contaminated by "self", thus ensuring that every painting is unique. It has nothing to do with the author, only the viewer.

Thinking of this, Shi Sui couldn't help but look at Nick's back with confusion. He was far away from Nick's realm in terms of his clear eyes and clear mind.

In fact, it was Su Ze's painting that attracted Nick's attention and suspicion.

He once heard someone mention the painting that Su Ze exhibited at the Elf Art Festival. He was also good at painting. He painted the dome of the mansion in Usher City himself. That painting was enough to scare away countless viewers. The effect will inevitably generate some curiosity.

Everyone has different aesthetic preferences. As the saying goes, everyone has their own preferences for carrots and vegetables. It is incredible that a painting can 100% fascinate viewers. Moreover, people with different backgrounds, ages and experiences have different opinions on the word "fear". The definitions and understandings are not always the same. The scene that makes the author's teeth tangle may not scare the viewer. Such a painting can pull everyone into the same kind of indescribable fear. This can only be said by Su Ze. The "fear" expressed is almost pure, which also shows that this "fear" has no substance and is just a concept.

Some people are afraid of the dark, some are afraid of water, some are afraid of narrow spaces, and some are afraid of noisy crowds. The emotion of "fear" needs a goal. "Fear" without a goal and no substance is like water without a source and a tree without roots. , inconsistent with human common sense.

Thinking back to the process of getting acquainted with Su Ze that he mentioned every year, Nick, the leader of the group who had taken in the twins, would naturally have some unusual thoughts.

The experience of being imprisoned for many years also made Nick suspicious of Jiang Jinse. His apprentice just had an uncomfortable feeling that his memory had been interfered with. Ordinary players could not imagine the reason, let alone believe it without hesitation. This was This shows that Jiang Jinse's knowledge is extraordinary and not on the same level as ordinary people.

And her grasp and analysis of the overall situation can be regarded as a doubtful point. After all, the world mission had not yet been unveiled at that time, and Gaia Continent and China were not fully connected. Jiang Jinse was able to point out the size of the mercenary group that used Gaia Continent every year. By analogy with the development trend of the power in the Huaxia Region, the gap between the two completely different cognitive perspectives of "living among" and "locating on it" is huge.

With the two pieces of evidence and the results of Nick's deliberate clichés, the truth about Jiang Jinse and Su Ze's identities is naturally coming out.

Thinking about this, Simil couldn't help but start to worry about Jiang Jinse:

"You are now involved in this matter every year, and you are coerced by Nick to destroy the balance of the game world. It is definitely a violation of the agreement."

Jiang Jinse smiled gently and fiddled with the sword spike with her slender fingers:

"It's not a blackmail. It doesn't matter if you violate the agreement. It's both public and private. Now that I've met such a special little girl every year, I can't ignore her."

Simil was silent for a while, shook his head and sighed:

"I still feel that there may be some misunderstanding. Why should Albert kill everyone like this?"

Shi Sui smiled calmly: "If he really kills everyone every year, what will you do?"

Simil raised his hand to cover his chest and smiled with unknown meaning. Unfortunately, the smile was uglier than crying:

"I don't like that assumption."

Sui Hude and Shao Wu looked at each other, and saw the same understanding and surprise in each other's eyes.

Simiel actually forgot about the undead army raging everywhere after being stopped by Nick. As expected...

Shi Sui carefully probed: "What is the self-protection mechanism of the game that Nick mentioned?"

The conversation among the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group suddenly stopped. Nick turned around and looked calmly at Simil, who had a struggling look on his face.

"If you really want to activate this protection mechanism," Simil clenched his fists, shook his head suddenly, and let out a sigh of relief, "Just mobilize these few giant dragons, and then lead the undead army, it will be far away. Not nearly enough.”

Yes, it is his duty to maintain the order and balance of this virtual world, but it is only by perfecting the technology of "mind uploading" that his existence, which is neither human nor artificial intelligence, is no longer the product of accident. It is your ideal place.

So, sacrificing the entire world to save the only one of your kind in the world can be part of the ideal, right?
