Puzzle games

After the two had a short rest, Ye Zhao drove to Xiaowen Street outside the Fourth Ring Road, heading for Ye Zhao's friend's house.

It was a residential building in an ordinary community. It looked very old, and the outer walls were peeling off. Next to it was a nationally famous science and technology industrial park.

I rang the doorbell of 406 during the day, but no one answered for a long time, which alarmed the neighbors in 405 next door. The old man copied a Beijing movie and told them that Lao Li suffered a myocardial infarction three weeks ago and was gone.

If the two of you hadn't made an appointment to go to Jishan Park for a bird walk every morning, no one would have known about the old man's stink. He has no children, and the big guy and his bird friends pooled up the money to send him a funeral. Now his ashes It was placed in the cemetery in the western suburbs.

Ye Zhao and Bai Bai looked at each other. According to Ye Zhao's mother, Mr. Li has always been in good health. She and Ye Zhao's father have always wanted to arrange a nurse to take care of his daily life, but they were repeatedly told by the other party that they would not see him so early. My wife dismissed me on the grounds, so I had no choice but to give up.

And the most important thing is that Mr. Li doesn't have a heart attack at all, so how could he have a myocardial infarction? This made Bai Tian think of the fat man who died suddenly on the Yuecheng high-speed rail.

A bad guess formed in both minds at the same time—hope it wasn't true.

The two thanked the enthusiastic old man, took their leave and left, went downstairs to pick up the car but heard a familiar female voice behind them: "Daytime? Ye Zhao?"

"It's you!" Bai Tian turned around in surprise.

"It's really you!"

The neatly dressed young girl in casual clothes in front of her was Zhang Sijia, one of the players she met in the last [Cry of the Tomb] dungeon.

"What are you doing here? I thought I had admitted the wrong person just now." Zhang Sijia spoke very crisply.

"?" Zhang Sijia's tone made Bai Tian look suspicious.

"This is a science and technology park under the name of the Zhang Group, bosses." Zhang Sijia seemed surprised, "I thought you were..."

After speaking, he quickly stopped talking, with a look of annoyance in his eyes, as if he regretted that he almost slipped the tongue.

"What do you think?" Ye Zhao stared at him with a cold gaze.

Zhang Sijia shook his wrists hesitantly, and seemed to make up his mind after a while, and looked at the two of them: "I thought you were here for the game."!

Zhang Sijia's simple words made Ye Zhaohe's heart skip a beat during the day, but he didn't show it at all on his face.

"That's right." Bai Tian lied without changing his face, looking at the girl in front of him with a little sly eyes, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "How much do you know about this game?"

"It must be more than you." Zhang Sijia blinked.

"Oh?" Bai Tian raised his eyebrows.

"I know what a game is, and I know how to end it, for good."

The two of them who had always been calm could no longer be at ease, but Bai Tian quickly stabilized his mind and said calmly: "But you can't do it, right?"

A week ago, Zhang Sijia was playing dungeons with them, and almost died several times. Obviously, if the opponent had the ability to end the game, why would he put himself in such a dangerous situation?

And it was you who were talking about during the day, he didn't think Zhang Sijia, a little girl, would have any special way to know the core information of the game.

Then the one who can give her the confidence to stand here and say these two sentences can only be the entire Zhang Group behind her.

Bai Tian had already figured it out completely at this time: "You already knew that we would come to Beijing to visit Mr. Li, and you bugged Ye Zhao and I's mobile phones... That's why you came here specifically to meet us by chance."

He even suspected that in the last dungeon they would meet Zhang Sijia's brother and sister. The latter, like Li Yilan, used the team card to do it on purpose. Zhang Siji also strongly demanded to exchange contact information with them...

Zhang Sijia didn't expect Tiantian to think so fast at all, but seeing the other party's face gradually cooling down, he quickly said seriously: "Daytime, don't get me wrong, we didn't mean to plot against you, it's just that we haven't had a suitable opportunity to talk."

Then she smiled wryly: "You're right, we really have no way to end it completely now, as for why... Come with me."

During the day, the two followed her without any hesitation. They had too few sources of information. For this game, they could only scratch the surface of guessing, and Ye Zhao's amnesia...

Right now, there is an opportunity to unravel all this, even if it is a dragon's den or a tiger's den, they have to break through it.

However, there was neither Longtan nor Tiger's Cave. The three of them did not go through the gate of the science and technology park, but walked all the way in along the high iron railing wall, and finally stopped in front of a rusty iron gate.

Zhang Sijia knocked on the door a few times regularly, and soon the door opened from the inside, revealing Zhang Siji's face similar to that of his sister.

Zhang Sijia shrugged his shoulders at him, indicating to his brother that the other party had guessed their intentions quite well, and was quite dissatisfied with his deliberately creating a "coincidence".

Zhang Siji smiled awkwardly, turned sideways, and let the three of them in.

The inside of the door suddenly opened up, and the entrance was clean and full of sense of technology, which was quite different from the rusty appearance on the door.

The blue operation indicators of precision instruments were flashing, and the researchers in white overalls were walking around, looking very busy.

"Here is it?" Bai Tian quietly looked at the indoor environment and staff.

"The Brain Science and Brain-inspired Research Center established under the Zhang Group."

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties with a somewhat academic atmosphere put down the documents in his hands, stood up, and stretched out his hand to him: "Hello, daytime!"

"You know me?" A fleeting moment of astonishment flashed across Bai Tian's face, and then he stared closely at the other person's eyes.

"My name is Wei Yang. I saw your photo on the mobile phone of my colleague Professor Xu Zhenyi two years ago. You look very similar to her."

Wei Yang withdrew his hand without hesitation, not at all aware of how shocking waves his words caused in Bai Tian's heart.

Brain Science and Brain-inspired Research Center, colleague Professor Xu Zhenyi.

Xu Zhenyi, his mother's name is also Xu Zhenyi, the same name and surname?

No, he didn't think that would be the case at all. His parents were professors of brain science, and Wei Yang also said that they looked alike.

But he never knew that his parents had such a job, or he never cared about their jobs.

He glanced at the people and things around him, feeling his eyes were a little sour. Two years after their death, he came to the place where they used to work and saw the researchers who worked with them...

Ye Zhao put his hand on his shoulder lightly, rubbed his eyes vigorously during the day, calmed down his emotions, and smiled at him.

"Miss Zhang said that you know what the 'puzzle game' is and how to end it once and for all?"

During the day, the topic turned back to the purpose of their trip.

"Yes."

Wei Yang took the two of them to his office, and there was a man sitting on the single sofa with his right hand against the wall.

He looks 45 or six years old, but it may be due to proper maintenance. His actual age should be slightly older. He wears a simple design and well-crafted POLO shirt and casual pants. the other party's identity.

The richest man in the country, Zhang Yun, the founder and CEO of the Zhang Group.

Zhang Yun raised his hand to signal them to sit behind the opposite coffee table. Wei Yang closed the door and was about to introduce each other, when Ye Zhao said without emotion, "I wonder what Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wei wanted to tell us when we came here?"

Wei Yang glanced at Zhang Yun, with a touch of helplessness, well, it seems that all the words prepared for the scene are useless.

He nudged the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with a little embarrassment: "To be honest, the 'puzzle game' system is here."

"What?! What is here? The system of this game is basically created by you, isn't it?!"

During the day, when he learned that this was Zhang's Brain Science and Brain-Inspired Research Center, he thought that Wei Yang and his team might have studied the essence of "puzzle games" from the perspective of brain science, and achieved Certain results.

But never expected that this game that has deceived countless Chinese people is directly related to the research center!

I was trembling all over during the day, struggling on the verge of life and death again and again, and experiencing horrible torture time and time again. As a result, the system that people say is an understatement is here with us.

He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Do Wei Gong dare to tell the truth to all the players who have been pulled into the game?"

Facing the questioning during the day, Wei Yang's mouth was full of bitterness, and he looked at his boss as if asking for help.

Zhang Yun squeezed the center of his brows, waved his hand at Wei Yang, then turned to Tiantian, with a tired voice: "You are right, but you are not right either.

Two years ago, I stumbled upon a strange AI system that I had no idea where it came from, who made it, or even what it was for, much less how to use it.

But my proud business intuition tells me that if this thing can be thoroughly researched and used properly, it will bring about earth-shaking changes in the lives of all mankind, and at the same time make my business empire stronger .

The ambition of expansion made me hire experts in the field of brain science, AI intelligence, and even a top-ranked hypnotist to conduct a crushing analysis of this system without hesitation, and your parents are among them during the day. "

From the moment he entered the research institute and heard his mother's name from Wei Yang's mouth, he knew during the day that this matter was inseparable from his parents.

At this moment, he was in a strange mood. He couldn't tell whether it was sadness or resentment. He only knew that he didn't want to think about it more.

Zhang Yun suddenly asked: "How much do you know about it?"

When Tiantian knew that he was not acting on his will, he took a deep breath and said coldly: "We speculate that players enter the dungeon again and again, but they are actually hypnotized into the subconscious again and again.

The conditions for causing such a large-scale hypnotic effect can be any repetitive and regular hints that occur naturally, but they need the assistance of strong electric waves or magnetic fields. "

"You are indeed extremely smart, you are almost inseparable!" Zhang Yun couldn't help but exclaimed.

"In the beginning, we couldn't even activate this system, but the researchers are all geniuses, especially your father, Bai Xu, who quickly proposed that there must be enough energy to drive the system.

In this era of widespread power grids, we have chosen electric energy to generate magnetism.

After making the system run successfully, we found that it seems to be a hypnotic game, and based on the technological power contained in it, we speculate that this is by no means something that any country on the earth can produce. We speculate that it may come from an extraterrestrial civilization, but except No further information is available beyond this.

At this time, Professor Bai Xu once again suggested that it may be necessary to enter this game in order to thoroughly study it.

This proposal was agreed by three-quarters of the staff in the institute. They were all geniuses, but they were also lunatics.

Although I am very curious about this system, I know that I don't have that kind of scientific research spirit-who knows if there is any risk in entering the game.

I cherish my life, I am afraid of death, so I dare not go.

The first batch of test players of the game, in addition to these researchers, there are fifty volunteers, all walks of life, men and women, of course they are volunteers, but their families have been paid quite generously. "

Listening to Wei Yang's narration calmly during the day, only the trembling hands resting on his knees revealed his inner unrest.

"Using artificial hypnosis as the carrier for players to enter the subconscious realm, 36 powerful motors create special magnetic field assistance to send one hundred test players in the research institute into the game.

In the beginning, everything was controllable, and several copies were normal. When players died in the game, they would only be forced to eject the copy without causing any harm to their bodies.

But a month later, some people began to show symptoms of brain damage, even brain death, autonomic disorders and other unexpected situations occurred frequently.

What is even more frightening is that as long as players who have entered the game, even if they are not in the research institute, as long as they receive hypnotic signals from the outside world, they will be pulled into the game.

Professor Bai immediately ordered to completely cut off the operation of "puzzle games", but at this time the system was out of control, and players continued to enter the dungeon again and again until the first one with perfect scores appeared in the country. "
