I became a system virus

Chapter 73 Matrix Firewall

The face of the person who fell on the ground was ashen, bleeding from the seven orifices and died suddenly.

The fat man said in horror: "What happened last night? How could they do this?"

No one can answer this question.

Shen stick sighed, "Everyone, don't dwell on this issue, it's important to find clues."

Everyone dispersed with lingering fear.

A group of people rummaged everywhere, but found nothing.

Everyone gathered in the patio to discuss.

Yi Qiubai originally thought that he would find Yasha ghost or something here, but he was disappointed.

He looked around in confusion, and finally his eyes fell on the square patio.

Takano was also looking up at the sky.

Yi Qiubai said: "Does it look like a well?"

Gao Ye nodded, "It's very similar to the dry well at the head of the village." After a pause, "The well is dry, the river ditch is thirsty, the village is abandoned, the temple has no one to worship, and the ancestral hall is deserted..."

Listening to his chanting, Wu Yue asked curiously, "Brother Ye, what are you talking about?"

Takano didn't answer, and seemed lost in thought.

Yi Qiubai asked: "God stick, is there anything special about that dry well at the head of the village?"

The god stick replied: "Of course there are particulars." He also said, "If there is water in the well, it means the door of life; if the well water is dry, it means the door of death."

An idea flashed in Yi Qiubai's mind, "At first I always thought that I would find Yasha ghost here, but now it seems that I must have realized it wrong."

God Stick: "What do you mean?"

Yi Qiubai: "Since this is the ancestral hall built by people from Zhongjia Village, the information in it must have something to do with Zhongjia Village."

God stick:"???"

Yi Qiubai: "It means that the ancestral hall must contain detailed information about the construction of Zhongjia Village by the Zhong family, the origin and development of the clan."

The magic stick slapped his forehead fiercely, "Genealogy!"

Yi Qiubai: "Yes, that's it."

With specific goals, people no longer fumble blindly.

In the end, it was the wise stick who pointed to the plaque hanging in the main hall and said, "Look for it."

Xiang Qiang immediately found a wooden stick and removed the plaque. There was indeed a dusty genealogy hidden inside.

The crowd was overjoyed.

The magic stick read it carefully, and the genealogy records the origins of the people in Zhongjia Village in detail.

The beginning part is the same as the record in the big temple. They fled, and then built roads and villages, and the population prospered.

The older generation in the village pay attention to the custom of never leaving the village when they are alive and never leaving the village when they die, so there are scenes where the dead and the living live together.

The well at the head of the village is a Fengshui well. There used to be a river in the valley, and the water in the well kept flowing.

In order to balance yin and yang, a large number of pagoda trees were planted in the village, and the Eight Diagrams array was adopted to keep the dead and the living safe.

Later, for unknown reasons, the river water in the valley dried up day by day, and the water in the well disappeared. The whole village became a dead village.

In the end, under the circumstances of endless strange things and lack of water, the remaining villagers decided to move away, and the village has been abandoned until now.

After hearing the information, some players said excitedly: "Then our task is to turn the dry well at the head of the village into a living well?"

Yi Qiubai: "It should be. A dry well is the door to death, and a living well is the door to life. Only after opening the door to life can we leave the village and the dungeon."

This statement is recognized by everyone.

Wu Yue raised a question: "The question is, where do we get water to introduce it into the dry well?"

Xiang Qiang: "Could it be related to the third temple?"

When it comes to the third temple, people can't help worrying.

The Great Temple records that it is at the entrance of the valley, but the problem is that they never saw it at all.

Gao Ye asked: "Is there any record in the family tree?"

The magic stick shook his head, "I didn't mention it."

Yi Qiubai: "That's strange. If people from Zhongjia Village built this temple, there should be records."

Gao Ye: "Could there be no such temple at all?"

God stick: "No, the big temple does record that there are two temples at the entrance of the valley."

But what about the temple?

where is the temple

According to normal inferences, if the people of Zhongjia Village built this temple, they should have mentioned it, but it's strange that they didn't say a word.

Xiang Qiang said, "It's at the entrance of the valley anyway, why don't we go look for it?"

So everyone left the ancestral hall and searched nearby, but naturally found nothing.

After tossing for a long time, Takano decided not to waste any more time, it was important to go back to the village to investigate first.

The group hurried back to the village again.

They first looked around the dry well, and there was nothing unusual inside, as Takano said.

Yi Qiubai thought that the base of Yasha Ghost might be related to the village, so everyone looked at it carefully, noted its shape, and searched separately for objects that matched it.

From the beginning of the village to the end of the village, people searched in different areas, not letting go of any suspicious objects.

After tossing until the afternoon, when Wu Yue was checking the stone mill under the tile eaves of a household, she found a groove that was exactly the same as the base of the Yaksha ghost statue on the way to move it away.

This discovery made her very pleasantly surprised, and she shouted: "I found it, come quickly!"

Everyone ran forward one after another.

Seeing the shape on the stone mill, the magic stick excitedly said: "Take the statue for a try!"

The fat man hurriedly passed the statue over, and the magic stick carefully stuck the base of the statue into the groove on the stone mill, and tried to turn it, but nothing happened.

Everyone: "???"

Dongfanghong: "Isn't it this?"

The magic stick was puzzled.

Yi Qiubai tried to turn it, and the two models fit perfectly, so there should be no problem.

Gao Ye said: "Fatty, go to the dry well and have a look."

The fat man ran towards the village immediately.

Not long after, his excited voice came, "Brother Ye, there is something wrong in the well!"

Everyone ran over.

A curved door was opened on the side wall of the dry well, and there was a passage inside.

Gao Ye said decisively: "Wu Yue, use your hair rope."

Wu Yue: "Brother Ye, I want to go down too."

Yi Qiubai said: "There are people up there, you should stay on guard just in case." He paused, "We're just going down to investigate, and we'll be out soon."

In the end, only Xiang Qiang, Fatty, Yi Qiubai and Gao Ye were the ones who went down the well, and the rest stayed up there to adapt.

The flashlight illuminated the dark dry well, and after entering the side door, humid air rushed in.

Yi Qiubai looked around, the space inside was very empty and huge, he was puzzled and said, "It's so strange, there is water vapor inside, but there is no water."

Xiang Qiang: "Could something live?"

Fatty's heart skipped a beat, and he said nervously, "Brother Qiang, don't scare me!"

Xiang Qiang was extremely calm, "If you have the ability to trap all 1009 experienced players here, what do you think of the difficulty of this dungeon?"

The fat man almost cried.

Xiang Qiang continued to intimidate, "The previous Yasha ghost NPC is already a hardcore thing, maybe there are similar things in the well."

Takano reassured: "Just get used to it."

The further you go, the muddy and wetter it gets.

Yi Qiubai sniffed it, and smelled a faint animal smell, he frowned and said, "There must be something inside."

Fatty: "Then shall we continue walking?"

Yi Qiubai seemed hesitant.

At present, their combat effectiveness is not high, and there are no props available. The Tengu is still being repaired, so don't even think about the Skeleton Man. It works like a convulsion.

They had never encountered such a hard-core NPC before, and they had to rely on toughness to pass the level.

It is indeed difficult, the difficulty on the hardware.

Just when everyone was undecided, there was a sound of bubbling water.

Gao Ye immediately became alert, and said decisively: "Withdraw!"

Everyone hurried back.

The thing in the well seemed to have discovered their existence, and a slender tail swept over, immediately sweeping everyone to the ground.

The fat man said "Ouch" again and again, and the flashlight was covered with mud.

Yi Qiubai quickly picked him up and dragged him to run outside.

In the chaos, a baby-like cry came from behind, scaring people to the point of getting goosebumps all over the floor.

Maybe it was because of curiosity, the fat man couldn't help but look back.

I saw a chameleon-like guy crawling on the stone wall, with giant scales sharp and sharp, a thick thorn growing on his forehead, and faint green lights all over his body, crawling towards them at a high speed.

The fat man almost fell to his knees, and said in mourning, "Damn it!"

The chameleon attacked again, its tongue snapping at them with lightning speed.

The four of them were immediately dragged back by the tongue wrap.

The screams sounded, and people were thrown heavily into the mud.

Now that the chameleon could enjoy its delicacy, the long spines on its foreheads jerked at them.

Yi Qiubai quickly pushed Xiang Qiang away, and the two escaped unharmed.

Immediately afterwards, the long thorn attacked again, this time Yi Qiubai was not so lucky.

In a critical moment, Gao Ye rushed towards him, only to hear a "click", as if the sound of a bone breaking, the long thorn pierced through his body and broke the bone.

Yi Qiubai was shocked and said: "Gao Ye!"

A large amount of blood gushed out, and Gao Ye's face was twisted by the severe pain. He squeezed out two words from his throat, "I/day!"

The chameleon threw him onto the stone wall forcefully, and he let out a muffled grunt, completely stunned.

Yi Qiubai quickly crawled over, covering the wound on his chest in a panic, trying to slow down the blood flow.

Gao Ye's nerves gradually became numb, and his eyes no longer had any light.

A mechanized voice sounded in his head, "Emergency procedures are being tested..."

"It is detected that the host is attacked by the outside world, and the protection mode is activated!"

As if being controlled, Gao Ye suddenly opened his eyes and pushed Yi Qiubai away.

The long thorn of the chameleon came towards Yi Qiubai, how could it know that it was like hitting an obstacle, no matter what, it couldn't penetrate the invisible protective wall.

Only then did Yi Qiubai realize the abnormality. He wanted to reach out to fish Gao Ye out, but there seemed to be an unknown substance separating them in the air, like an invisible glass wall.

Yi Qiubai said in horror: "Gao Ye, you are fucking crazy!"

Takano looked at him covered in blood and smiled.

It was only then that everyone realized that something was wrong with him, because his body suddenly appeared; Xi; Du; Home.Suddenly, a layer of faint blue light emerged.

The blue light first came out from the scorpion tattoo on his arm, and then appeared in the joints of the whole body, and then the light connected with each other, rendering like a spider web, covering the chameleon.

People were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The fat man was surprised and said, "What's the matter, Brother Ye?"

No one could explain what was going on, not even Takano himself.

He watched helplessly as his body became transparent surrounded by the matrix until it disappeared and merged with the matrix.

Gao Ye disappeared mysteriously, leaving only an invisible glass wall to protect Fatty and the others.

And in places they couldn't reach, the spider web-like matrix flowed like life.

Those blue numbers shuttled in the form of multi-dimensional space, forming an indestructible protective net, no matter how the chameleon attacked, it could not penetrate it, like a fist hitting cotton.

Realizing that he was imprisoned, the chameleon became more irritable and rammed around frantically.

Sometimes it hit the stone walls on either side, sometimes it hit the glass wall in front of them.

At first, the fat man would avoid it when he saw it rushing towards him, but he became calm after more times.

He stretched out his hand to poke the protection in front of him in surprise, and said, "What kind of prop did Brother Ye activate, with such a powerful function?"

Yi Qiubai: "He only has the copper ring on his body besides the tengu. Could it be that the copper ring has played a role?"

Xiang Qiang: "Maybe, the copper ring seems to be usable in this dungeon."

The crying of the baby was chaotic in the well, and Gao Ye, who had become a matrix, watched it toss.

He only has a defense mode and has no offensive performance, but he can isolate dangerous objects.

The scope of the matrix gradually narrowed, and the range of activities of the chameleon was also reduced, and it was forced to retreat to one side.

At first, the three of them didn't realize the mystery, but when they saw that the chameleon couldn't come, Yi Qiubai poked at the protective wall, but there was nothing.

Fatty and Xiang Qiang were confused, Yi Qiubai immediately ran inside and shouted: "Look for clues! Hurry up!"

Only then did the two react and rushed in immediately.

The three of them walked hard in the mud until they reached the end of the passage, only to see that a spring was blocked.

They hurriedly removed the stones blocking it.

Hearing the sound of huge water surging inside, Yi Qiubai said, "Run!"

In just a moment, the clear and cold water burst out from the spring, and the huge impact rushed them out.

The fat man screamed "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

A steady stream of water was gurgling, and people drifted out along the current.

They thought they would be washed to the mouth of the well, but they didn't know that the protective net was filtering and blocking, and the emotions of the turbulent water were gradually calmed down and became extremely gentle.

Chameleons are set to be afraid of water.

Because they are afraid of water, they blocked the spring and dried up the deep well, which became its habitat.

Now that the spring has been unsealed, the dry well that has been thirsty for a long time has found its purpose again, and the whole passage is filled with fresh and warm vitality.

The matrix protection was slowly released, and they gradually returned to their human form.

As the chameleon's body was melted by the water flow like mud, Takano's shape gradually became clear, and finally emerged from the water.

Yi Qiubai was not too happy to see him, the unprotected water rushed out forcefully, and rushed everyone out of the well.

The four fell to the ground in embarrassment, all stunned.

Then the well water filled the whole village.

All the players outside shouted excitedly.

Dongfanghong said excitedly: "We can leave the dungeon now! We can leave now!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Everyone danced happily, because they found that the village began to change, from the previous barrenness to vitality.

The disappeared villagers returned to their hometowns.

The dilapidated houses washed away the traces left by the wind and frost, and restored to their original appearance after rest.

The unintelligible dialect rang out in the village again, but this time they were all real people.

There are old people, children, middle-aged people carrying hoes, and women leading cattle...

This is what the village should look like, full of vitality and hope!

The magic stick tried to ask the villagers, and after a lot of difficult communication, he learned that there was another temple in the legend, which was at the entrance of the valley. As long as you passed that temple, you could leave the village.

Everyone left happily.

On the way, Wu Yue excitedly said: "Brother Ye, you are so amazing!"

The four of them tacitly said nothing about the situation in the well.

Yi Qiubai hooked Gaoye's finger quietly, and the people walking in front didn't realize that they were leaving with their little fingers hooked all the time.

After the village is restored to its original appearance, the roads will be much easier to walk.

With urgency, they finally saw the temple at the entrance of the valley.

In fact, it can't be counted as a temple, but only as an archway, which says Zhongjia Village.

Looking at the other end of the corridor, the fat man said happily: "We can finally go to the transfer station to rest for a few days!"

Xiang Qiang: "You can have some hot food and sleep well."

Everyone was delighted and walked in excitedly.

It's a pity that they underestimated the ability of the system to cheat.

After passing through the corridor, people saw a person sitting with his back to them, with an easel in front of him.

The fat man walked up curiously to say hello, but just as he touched the man's shoulder, he turned into ashes and disappeared.

Fatty: "???"

Realizing that something was wrong, everyone gathered around to look at the easel.

It was a watercolor painting, and the content in the painting was exactly the situation of Zhongjia Village.

Everyone: "???"

Yi Qiubai suppressed the irritability in his heart, rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "We are still in the dungeon."

Everyone: "!!!"

Yi Qiubai: "This copy is probably a picture-in-picture."

Wu Yue said in horror: "You mean that Zhongjia Village is a painting, and when we walk out of the painting, the place we are now is still a painting?"

Yi Qiubai: "Probably so."

The fat man blurted out: "This dungeon is too fucking cheating!"

Xiang Qiang was also quite frustrated, and said helplessly, "Oh, the hot meal is gone."

Gao Ye: "The bed is gone."

Everyone: "..."

Dog day!
