[Infinite] End Game

"I should have said that I'm a programmer, right?" Tang Yu was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes, thought for a while, and said, "I happened to be looking for a job after Sleeping Day, maybe it's because the population dropped by half. I was transferred to a very powerful company, but the special thing is that everyone in the company only studies the same thing.”

Tang Yu said, "We are developing a decoder."

"Decoder?" Someone asked.

"Yes," Tang Yu nodded: "This process is very complicated. We have tried almost all methods, but there has been no progress. At least before I entered the game, the decoder has not been completed. But the important thing is, I have accidentally discovered , This task was entrusted by the government, and part of the atlas that I am in charge of is consistent with the lines on the stone tower of R'lyye."

Hearing what Tang Yu said, everyone cheered up and asked, "You said you know the old seal's spell, but you can decipher those lines now? But how could the old seal's spell be recorded on the stone tower of Lalaye?" arts?"

"Okay." Tang Yu replied: "We have already researched that those lines should represent a language. The reason why there has been no progress is that it cannot be translated. The old printed mantra is indeed not on the stone tower of R'lyeh. , but can be used to verify that my translation is correct."

With that said, Tang Yu asked for a wooden board, drew some of the graphics from memory, and then took out the flute he got from the flute player dungeon.

Tang Yu has been thinking about why he is the only one who has erythema and heard Cthulhu's voice among so many players. He is not outstanding in terms of intelligence or force, but he is the only one who hears it?

This kind of doubt lasted until one day, when Tang Yu inadvertently looked at his panel and saw this flute, so he had an answer in his heart.

The flute that Lynn gave him was called the "Player's Flute", but for some unknown reason, there was no instruction for its use, and it couldn't make a sound even after trying to play it. Tang Yu couldn't figure it out after trying several times. The role of this flute, I had to give up in the end, until now——

After Tang Yu carved a part of the lines, he placed the wooden board horizontally on the deck, and then tentatively approached the wooden board with his flute. The moment the two touched, a deep and strange and unpleasant sound floated out of the sound hole.

Chang He, who stayed beside Tang Yu, immediately frowned. The other players couldn't help but cover their ears when they heard the sound. It's really that this sound wave, which can't be called music at all, is just superimposed on syllables. It is unique and unpleasant, and even just listening to it gives people a strong feeling of nausea, as if every nerve is clamoring for abnormality.

Tang Yu didn't get any surprises. In order to avoid listening to it, Tang Yu endured his nausea and took a pen and paper to record all these notes, and then brought them into the 80.00% decoding program he knew. Finally, I got the answer: "This passage is about the ruler of the deep sea, may your will be manifested to R'lyeh, just like Iha Ensley."

When Tang Yu put down his pen, he found that everyone was looking at him with piercing eyes, and their expressions couldn't hide their eagerness and nervousness. Tang Yu couldn't help pinching the center of his brows, and then smiled and said, "It's not the same as the last sacrificial oration said by the ship owner." There are some deviations, but they are basically the same, and the fact that the two nouns R'layeh and Iha Ensley are mentioned in one sentence proves that the method of translation is correct, but needs to be adjusted."

However, it is definitely easier and quicker to infer the formula after knowing the answer than not knowing anything. Tang Yu felt like a huge stone fell to the ground. He told everyone about his judgment, but everyone was overjoyed. Dazed, he continued to ask: "Where is the spell on the old seal?"

"It's on itself." Tang Yu said, "It wasn't so dim when I first got it. On the contrary, there are many light spots on the surface."

"Can you remember?" Lin Mi looked at him in surprise.

"Almost, there are some things that are not very sure, so we can only deduce them later." Tang Yu said, and remembered that there was a very unclear record in the legend of Cthulhu, that is, the 'invisible player'.It is believed that Azathoth, the god of blindness and ignorance who started everything, stayed in the palace in the center of the universe, and played a disgusting sound on the flute.

Tang Yu felt that the sounds that were difficult to hear or even feared by them might be the beginning of the languages ​​of many races, and the player's flute he held might have certain characteristics, so it could translate these languages.So he explained to everyone: "I think those light spots are similar to the stone patterns of La'lyeh, and they should also be translated through the flute."

"Understood, it's up to you." Huo Feng was a little excited, and couldn't help but reached out and patted Tang Yu's shoulder. He thought that after leaving the dungeon, he would study the old seal while hiding, but he didn't expect Tang Yu to come here Suddenly there was a surprise.

Ji Shenlan thought more than Huo Feng did. What he was thinking about was that in the real world, the government was obviously making various attempts to shut down the game.Tang Yu got the stone pattern two years ago, which means that people in reality have found Lalaiye, but the time is wrong and they didn't get the old seal, and there is no player's flute that can translate the stone pattern in reality.

While everyone was thinking, the ship suddenly shook violently, as if a layer of sticky air had been broken through, and the familiar feeling of dizziness hit everyone's hearts again.

This is the rhythm of customs clearance?

Ji Shenlan's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that everyone might be surrounded and killed separately. He immediately held on to the railing, turned around and hurriedly said to everyone: "Gather at the fountain in the central area after you go out"!However, after a while, the dizziness gradually subsided, but they still stayed on the boat, none of them disappeared.

"...What is this?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and looked around in puzzlement, but they couldn't see anything on the empty sea.At this moment, Chi Yan, who had been steering the ship in the captain's room, suddenly poked his head out, and shouted to everyone excitedly: "Look! Isn't that the harbor in the Southern District?!"

"???"

Everyone was startled for a moment, then ran to the bow deck of the ship without saying a word, and they saw a trace of the outline of the ship port when they looked far, and they couldn't help but be at a loss.

Did they come out of the copy?

Or maybe what they experienced wasn't a copy at all?

But in any case, it is obviously best for everyone to be together.

With [-] points of vigilance and doubts, the ship docked with the South District Harbor under the control of Chi Yan, and the moment his feet stepped on the ground, Tang Yu's first reaction was to let out a long breath of relief.Chang He patted him lightly from behind with some amusement, and the two looked into the distance together, only to see that there was not even a single person on the bustling street in the past.

——The shops on both sides of the street are empty, not only the players, but even the NPCs are gone.

"Go to the central square first." Ji Shenlan said solemnly.

In the absence of other information, everyone could only go to the center. Along the way, they saw a few panic-looking players. After Huo Feng stopped them, they realized that all the NPCs in the southern district had disappeared one after another early this morning. A group of players who don't know what happened are left.

Maybe it has something to do with Cthulhu's awakening. After all, the NPCs in the southern district have more or less the characteristics of the Sea Clan in appearance.The players walked to the central area vigilantly while thinking to themselves. Chi Yan simply led people to set up a tent on the spot. Tang Yu also knew that the opportunity was fleeting and time was running out, so he immediately got into the tent to deduce the old seal spell. Ji Shen Lan let out a long sigh, and said decisively: "Let's make an announcement."

"Send an announcement to the whole region, you sign it for me, and say that we have mastered the method to shut down the game, but we need manpower, all those who are willing to bet on this opportunity, gather here at noon tomorrow."

"Will someone come?" Lin Mi asked hesitantly. Even if they signed the joint signature, the danger of this matter can be imagined. Can it be called whimsical hope to accompany my life?

Lin Mi felt deeply uncertain.

"To be honest, I don't know." Ji Shenlan looked at the sky, smiled slightly, and then said seriously in a low voice: "Since Sleeping Day, players have no choice, no matter how hard they try to If we live, death is only a moment. But I only know that at least this time, we have the right to choose."
