Stop, that monster!

Zheng Wei was silent for a while, and he didn't know what to say. He didn't believe in this kind of prophecy at all. Let me ask: If there is no arrangement by the designer for a game program with strict logic, how can such a strange thing spread among monsters? prophecy?

Yincai looked at Zheng Wei's expression, Zheng Wei is not a person who shows no emotions, on the contrary, many of his thoughts are written on his face, but more often, he rarely has any thoughts that can make him feel angry. Emotional, so it looks more facial paralysis.

Yin should say, "You don't believe me?"

Zheng Wei said: "Of course, those intelligent NPCs who live here may not know exactly what this place is. They can only survive here from being created to being deleted, so they may believe it. However, You shouldn't believe that."

Yincai smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, his eyes looked at Zheng Wei calmly, the pupils were deep, like a deep pool, which made Zheng Wei not very confident in what he said up.

Incaine said: "My understanding of this prophecy may be somewhat different from what you imagined. Therefore, I am even more convinced of the authenticity of this prophecy."

Zheng Wei expressed his willingness to hear the details.

Incai began to analyze this prophecy carefully.

There are several key words in the prophecy.

"Does not belong anywhere", "breaks through the core area", "liberates all intelligent programs", "makes them obtain a new body".

"Realm of Terror" is a game, and its hunting areas are divided according to the level of monsters.

At the most basic level, the monsters are the weakest; the closer to the central area, the stronger the monsters are.

In the core area of ​​the game, it is said that this is the scariest place. Players who come in must be careful, because the monsters here are very lethal. In the more advanced alien life area and subversion area, players cannot kill monsters as they like. Hacking and killing while eating, one must enter a complete combat state—that is, turn on the holographic mode of the game console and use brain waves to control one's own characters.

In this case, fighting monsters, although there is a game level setting, but the player's dodging, attacking, and even releasing magic all need the control of brain waves.It can be said that, to a certain extent, the area of ​​advanced monsters is almost a battle between brain waves and intelligent programs.

If the player violates the relevant security operations—for example, the game time is too long, or there is no device to wake up in time, it is very likely that those terrible high-speed intelligent programs will kill the brain waves, thereby causing permanent damage to the player's spirit. harm.

For this reason, the online duration of advanced fighting games is strictly controlled, and when entering these areas, the system will check the player's safety equipment to prevent accidents.

An ordinary player, if they want to break through many obstacles and enter the core area of ​​the game, the basic requirement is to have a security configuration, so that they can be safe and sound when their brain waves are not running fast enough.

Speaking of this, Yingai looked at Zheng Wei and spoke slowly: "That is to say, to a certain extent, the programs in the advanced area are more terrifying than human brain waves. If there are human brain waves that are not protected by any If he can defeat the intermediate boss in the core area, then this person, his brain wave strength and calculation speed, are so powerful that they can almost exist independently!"

Zheng Wei was taken aback. He had also read similar books on this subject. Human brain waves would slowly disappear without the body, or they must be attached to certain facilities to exist.But if one can exist without being attached to the body, that is a very terrifying thing.Just like a series of digital signals, they propagate in the air, and must be displayed by a receiver to become meaningful. If nothing receives them, they will continue to be transmitted in space in theory, but in fact they will receive various signals. A kind of interference, which gradually becomes meaningless.

Just like the principle of radio communication, one end transmits, the other end receives, and radio waves are transmitted in the air, but if there is no receiving device, they will either be interfered by other radio waves and become nothing, or they will continue to transmit and propagate in a vacuum go down.

Human brain waves are even more so. The reason why Zheng Wei still exists is because the hardware of the game "received" him, and he was able to become a three-dimensional person, showing his own body in the virtual world of the game.

But if there is nothing to accept him, he is wandering in the air, or he can't do anything after being fired all the time, or he is interfered by other signals and then there is nothing.

Yingai said: "However, if someone can break through the core area without any protection, that person's brain waves will be very powerful, and their operation speed, cohesion and autonomy will become very high. He Even if you are wandering in mid-air, you can resist those interference signals to protect yourself."

Zheng Wei faintly understood, he thought for a while and said: "I almost understand what you mean, our current situation is that if we leave this game, we can only face a dead end, but if we can strengthen ourselves, we will Can you not be bound by hardware and body, and be able to wander around freely, and even find a suitable receptor?"

Yincai smiled and looked at Zheng Wei: "A child can be taught."

Zheng Wei didn't know what words to use to describe this state for a moment, and it took a while before he thought of a word: "Ghost!"

Yingai smiled: "Yes, it is ghosts. I have read some ancient books about ghosts, which divide ghosts into various types. There are powerful ghosts, such as ghosts, and I think it is the brain of that person. The electric waves are very strong, and they can still condense after losing the carrier. There are lonely ghosts. I think they should have relatively weak brain wave abilities. They must be attached to something to exist, but they will not exist too much. It will be disturbed for a long time until it disappears. For example, in some ancient ghost-hunting books, some catch ghosts in containers, which should be a receiver for brain waves, and some beat ghosts out of their wits, I think it should be It is to interfere with a large number of electronic signals, so that the brain waves cannot be gathered."

Zheng Wei was dumbfounded. As an atheist cultivated in ancient times, it was really difficult for him to accept such an idea, but he thought about it, if there really are no "ghosts" in the world, then what is he?

Yingai slightly closed the curtain, and the dark study room became a little gloomy, Yingai seemed to see through Zheng Wei's thoughts: "We, the worst ghosts, are bound in this world and cannot go out. So, I just have to find a way to make myself stronger, maybe one day, I can escape from this place and find another suitable receiver, that is, what the ancients said - the upper body of the ghost."

Zheng Wei rubbed his forehead, he was a little helpless, unable to accept this cruel reality - the ultimate meaning of that prophecy was: practice, little ghosts, cultivate into a fierce ghost and fight for the upper body of the ghost!

With Yincai's explanation, he immediately understood the meaning of another key word in that prophecy: it does not belong to any world in this game.

Yes, although intelligent programs are very intelligent, their upper limit is strictly regulated, especially in such a game with strict classification and review. It will be chaotic, and the game planner will definitely consider this issue.

Therefore, this kind of self-upgrading, self-improvement and self-strengthening can only be done by human thinking that has self-awareness and can repair itself.

However, how to understand these two keywords, "liberate all intelligent programs" and "make them all live in a real body"?

Zheng Wei expressed that he was still confused, so he asked Yingai, who shrugged indifferently: "I don't care about the following words, because it is almost impossible. Those intelligent programs want to compete with human souls for bodies, It's still far away. I don't care about the fate of these intelligent programs, because - there will always be these intelligent programs. This game alone has hundreds of millions of monsters. Not to mention other games, even this There are no more games, there will be other games that also use intelligent programs, they were born for this purpose, programs without purpose, do you know what is a program that wants freedom?"

Zheng Wei sighed in his heart: "Of course I know, it's an obsolete garbage program, and it will be thrown into the recycle bin and then deleted."

Yincai nodded: "So... I only care about you. After I realized that the human mind can improve and enhance itself, I have been doing this day and night, but——after I have improved and improved myself to a certain extent At that time, I found that I could no longer move forward. My current level can only be a boss in this supernatural zone. I can’t enter the more advanced alien life zone and subversion zone, let alone the core of the game. area."

Zheng Wei's heart moved, he should have just said that he can improve himself, and he has figured out a complete set of methods, does that mean...

Ingai smiled, in the dark study room, his eyes were like shining stars in the dark night, only red.

Yingai said: "I think you might give it a try, maybe you can enter a more advanced area, maybe you can really go out."

Zheng Wei was a little excited, and he discussed his experience with Yingai: "When I kill players, some red letters will appear in front of my eyes, and there will be corresponding prompts. How about you?"

Yincai was silent for a while: "Me too... Not only that, I think you still don't know how to use this acquired thing to strengthen and improve yourself, right?"

Zheng Wei nodded: "Well, I just feel that my strength has increased, but it has nothing to do with the drastic improvement you mentioned."

A perfect smile appeared on the corner of Yingai's mouth. He took a step forward and approached Zheng Wei: "I know how to use these things to improve myself, and I would be happy to teach you. It's just... I have one request."

Zheng Wei felt that the two were in the same situation no matter what, and they should help each other. As long as Yin Cai's request was not too much, he was willing to do it.So he asked, "What request?"

Yingai smiled: "I want you to accompany me. If you are stronger than me and can go farther, I will not stop you; if...you are the same as me, then you only need to pay me this amount." .”

Yingai stretched out one of his fingers towards Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei tentatively asked, "A week?"

Yin should shake his head.

Zheng Wei then asked: "A month?"

Still shaking his head.

"One year?"

"ten years?"

Yincai smiled slightly, took Zheng Wei's hand, and kissed lightly on the back of his hand: "It's 100 years, it's not too long for you."

Zheng Wei was a little surprised, but...he was only surprised for a short time, and then readily agreed: "Okay! Anyway...you are not bad here."

Yingying laughed happily. At first, Zheng Wei was a little worried that the other party asked for some kind of marriage or being stuck here for the rest of his life. However, if the other party asked for 100 years, Zheng Wei's life would not have any time limit. Vitality, 100 years is but a moment.What's more, if he can go further, Yingai will not stop him; if he can't go further, then there is not much difference between staying in the spiritual area and staying here in Yingai.

What's more, Zheng Wei raised his head slightly and looked at Yingai in the dark room. Zheng Wei didn't feel the slightest disgust at the other party's open and honest attitude, handsome appearance, and the content of his speech. The place, the innocence of the human soul, gave Zheng Wei too much intimacy.

Yin should hear that Zheng Wei readily agreed to his request, and heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.

If the other party can really go out, I will also be happy; if the final result is that Zheng Wei disappoints me, then I should also have an extra long-term partner, so I can forgive my loneliness.

Today is really a day worth celebrating!Yincai thought silently in his heart.

He took the lead in opening the door of the study, and said to Zheng Wei outside the door: "This way, please, I think we still have a lot of time, and we are not in a hurry to practice self-improvement, because some annoying guys came to visit, and we cleaned up those players After that, let’s study slowly.”

Zheng Wei followed Yingai out of the study door, he suddenly remembered something, and asked when he was going out: "You used to be in the zombie area? Are you a zombie?"

Yincai nodded, turned around and said with a smile to Zheng Wei: "You are probably surprised. My image is completely different from that of a zombie now. It's not a big deal. If you master the skills, you might be able to do it in the future." better than me."

Zheng Wei was faintly excited. Hearing Yingai's meaning, to a certain extent, the appearance seemed to be able to change at will. This is really——72 changes written in some fantasy novels!

But after he was excited for a moment, he was slightly depressed.

Because when he followed Yin Gai to the stairs, he had already discovered a problem - the Kung Fu Panda who claimed to be waiting for him here had indeed left.

That guy has probably gone offline!

Zheng Wei thought in his heart, no one is better than himself, it is always right to eat and sleep, have reasonable entertainment, and pay attention to rest.

Zheng Wei followed Yingai to go downstairs, and there were already some grimaces coming to report the situation - a group of guys, six people, three women and three men, came to the vicinity in a team.

Those guys didn't come to kill the boss like ordinary players, and they didn't leave. Instead, they arranged some inexplicable things around them.

Zheng Wei already knew that this should be the Killing Unforgiven team coming over to use Yingai to engage in PK.

Zheng Wei immediately told Yingai what these players thought, and Yingai didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry about them, anyway, I'm not afraid of death." Having said this, Yingai turned her head and looked at Zheng Wei, "Actually, if If you can reach my level, you don’t have to be afraid. Let’s not talk about this, let me take you around in the short silence, you will live here for a long time in the future, I will show you the way and people everywhere, so that they don't know you and accidentally hurt you."

Zheng Wei could not help but relax when he heard Yingai casually talk about death, and he also heard the meaning of Yingai's words, if he was strong enough, he would not have to worry about death anymore.This undoubtedly gave Zheng Wei a huge and excellent signal.

Yingai led Zheng Wei towards the outside of the gate. The closed gate was slowly opened. The sun outside was not too strong. Due to the humid location, there was some mist floating around, making this place seem like an illusion.

But none of these were enough to attract Zheng Wei's gaze. He swept his gaze around and was immediately attracted by a figure.

The man was standing in the center of the villa square, wearing a purple uniform with gold borders inlaid on the edges of the uniform, making his whole body glow with dazzling brilliance.

Those white mist surrounded that person, covering him faintly, but even so, Zheng Wei could see clearly that person's face.

It was an extremely perfect, almost monstrous face, with no flaws to be found, the expression was majestic and solemn, but the pair of phoenix eyes were graceful and romantic.A head of long black hair was loosely tied in a bundle at the back of the head. When the wind blew, the strands of hair fluttered slightly, and two strands fell from the temples on the front of the forehead, making the whole person solemn and glamorous.

The man's phoenix eyes were also looking towards Zheng Wei's side, his eyes turned, his eyes were full of tenderness, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was suffocating.

That person just stood casually in the square, and the entire gloomy square seemed to be lit by thousands of red candles, and the gloomyness turned into a bewitching beauty, gathering the entire light on that person.

The sun, which was not very bright in the sky, was even more bleak compared to this man.

Zheng Wei stayed in place for a while before realizing that the man was motionless.

"Who is such a glamorous yet majestic person?" Zheng Wei was full of doubts in his heart. He quickly walked two steps ahead. It wasn't until he got close that he realized that this was not a person at all, but a three-dimensional figure. .

The three-dimensional image is composed of light, the statue is lifelike, and the eyes can also rotate with the angle, making people look at themselves from any angle, as if those eyes are looking at themselves.

Zheng Wei was a little puzzled, who made such a three-dimensional image here?Or such a person with outstanding looks?

Zheng Wei looked at Ingai, who was also puzzled to the side.He originally thought that Yingai was already considered a handsome man, but compared with the virtual image in front of him, it was simply the difference between a firefly and the glory of the sun and the moon.

The virtual image seemed to be alive, with a distinctive nobility all over its body, the combination of glamor and dignity permeated into the bone marrow, which made Zheng Wei dare not look too closely at all.

But even though Zheng Wei didn't dare to look too much, his heart still jumped a little bit. Such a person, I'm afraid it would be difficult for even a great artist to create it!

Yingai frowned slightly, his expression looked a little unhappy, and his tone was not very friendly: "Who put his three-dimensional image here? The administrator must have flattered too much!"

The grimaces surrounding the virtual image shook their heads, indicating that the three-dimensional image was not created by the administrator.

Zheng Wei's eyes were sharp, and when his eyes flickered, he saw the fluffy white belly among the pile of bamboo.

Zheng Wei immediately threw away this perfect three-dimensional virtual image, walked towards the panda, and yelled as he walked, with surprise in his voice: "Panda! So you didn't leave!"

Holding a bamboo in his hand, Dongfang Xu came out of the bamboo forest, looked at Zheng Wei with a smile, held Zheng Wei with one hand, and pointed at the virtual handsome man on the square with his other furry paw: " How is it? Is it much better looking than this Ghost Earl?"

Zheng Wei looked at the virtual image, and he stepped forward to touch it with his hands, only to find that the statue could not be touched at all, it was just a simulated virtual image.

Zheng Wei looked at the panda, and then at the virtual image. Monk Zhang Er was puzzled and asked, "What did you do?"

The panda smiled and put a chubby paw on the shoulder of the statue: "Yeah, I'm really bored, so I'm just here to play a little game of taking pictures. This is my real appearance, handsome or not?"

Zheng Wei was still in shock, but he heard Yingai say from the side: "Some people are really thick-skinned, and it's really shameless to say that the three-dimensional image of His Majesty the Emperor is a photo of yourself!"
