doomsday beta

"Although you have become human, I have never heard you speak."

Fang Zhou has many doubts about Nian Beast.

Why did the Nian beast he accepted so casually happen to be Jiang Xun; just "Jiang Xun", why can it escape the confinement of the rules of the game and keep it outside; and it once mentioned its name, why didn't it say Jiang Xun, but Is it to give irrelevant handwriting that looks like "the first day"?

"you think--"

"what do you know-?"

Nian Beast's human face turned around, its mouth was moving, but its cold and weird voice seemed to come from another place.Speaking of human voice, it is more like a machine without emotion.

Just like at this time, the eyes it looks like have the shape of human eyes, but they don't contain human emotions.

I don't know if it was caused by the light, but for a moment, Fang Zhou felt that those eyes flashing silver light were extremely strange.

He stared at it for a few seconds, as if being sucked into a bottomless black hole, feeling like he was about to fall, and couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of his neck.

The words that were on the verge of his mouth were unable to open his mouth under the deep gaze of those eyes.

A suppressed, unoffendable feeling.

It's like seeing a cold, towering statue of a god.

Respect arises spontaneously.

Very strange.

Looking at its eyes now, Fang Zhou even thought of the god-level prop with Jiang Xun's face - the statue of immunity.

"How-what-?" He didn't speak for a long time, it was a little strange.

Fang Zhou opened his mouth, but in the end he just said, "...it's nothing."

It tilted its head and made this movement against Jiang Xun's face. It was not as ugly and cute as when it was in Nian Beast form, but it was indescribably weird.

It raised its hand and touched Ark's head, just like Ark once touched it.

At this time, the sense of distance from those eyes disappeared again, as if returning to the days and nights when they accompanied each other countless times, like a silent mountain, waiting quietly by the side, kind and reliable.

——It looks like Ark can rest assured.

it says:

"Your-wish-wish-will-realize-"

"what do you mean?"

"This-these-will-will-as-quick-end-"

"Compared to those, I think you should learn how to speak normally first."

"..."

Singles' Day passed, and the game finally showed its fangs.

But it is still hidden below the surface of the water. Only some players have spread panic atmosphere, which is not known to the world for the time being, and it is not enough to arouse the vigilance of the state machine.

Even countries are focusing more on how to obtain or steal the epoch-making holographic technology.

On November 11th, Belgian King's Day, Palestine declared independence day.

The Ark extracts expansion packs, one is S-rank, and the other is still S-rank.

I don't know whether it's because Ark is lucky or the players in Phase 1006 are too unlucky. On the 18th of that month, the lottery between Latvia and Oman was another double-S expansion pack.

This luck continued until the end of November.

Lebanon, Suriname, Albania, Mauritania, East Timor, and Barbados, every happy day welcomes the delivery of the most advanced expansion pack.

On the bus in the buffer zone, the online Chinese players looked at the in-car TV, and the handsome male anchor raised his mouth, like a shark smelling blood, reporting the fiery delivery of the National Day expansion pack again and again, whispering enviously, Can't wait for time to fly, come to National Day immediately.

Showing the function of broadcasting announcements, this male anchor is not a position assigned by the NPC, but belongs to the system, a completely unfamiliar face, where does he come from?

Even in the position of an NPC leading players, Ark is still like a fish trapped in a tank, and there are still many unknowns about the game world.

After the establishment of Genesis Cinema, it is no longer a monopoly like "The Sinking of Japan" in the 1005 issue. Ten works were released in a row in the same period, which was very lively.

A series of countries that faced disasters from outside the sky for the first time, were unprepared and destroyed the country by surprise.

For a while, the governments of various countries were panicked and confused.

The ignited sense of panic and crisis bloomed like fireworks, and everyone was wondering: what happened to this world?

The game has entered the vision of the people earlier, and the rush to buy and compete for invitation codes, and online immigration are in full swing.

Without the cheats favored by the Ark game, the online society collapsed, the state functioned out of control, the world was in disarray, and all the dark sides of human nature were vividly revealed.

Facing the shrinking player power, the NPC camp has an overwhelming advantage.

Issue 1006 of "Noah's Ark" ends, and the NPC camp wins.

then……

Issue 1007...

Issue 1008...

Issue 1009...

The players who go to the end of each world are similar. NPCs can find another self in the player. Familiar with the enemy is like familiar with yourself. Occupying the home field and anticipating the enemy's opportunity, victory is getting easier and easier.

The NPCs were all excited to squeeze and bully the player from the beginning, and became numb.

Returning to the normal process, every time the game unfolds step by step, it is 2030, the timeline when Ark has long passed away.

Without exception, Jiang Xun learned of Fang Zhou's death again, went on the road in a daze, and was involved in a car accident.

Fang Zhou witnessed the whole process again and again, and also discovered some details: under the technology giant Zhongqing, there was originally a holographic dream that was still in the infinite imagination, and the plan was still 50 years away.

After the birth of the holographic online game, this project was almost aborted.

But after Jiang Xun's accident, Jiang's father was distraught and fell ill because of it. Jiang Cheng took over the family business when he was in danger. In Cheng's plan, the intelligent system he designed for it was named: Wei Daofu.

David, defend the idea.

Wade... the first day...

Perhaps, the indecipherable marks written on the ground by Nian Beast with its clumsy claws were not the first day, but...

"Waldorf?"

Fang Zhou stared blankly at the screen and murmured before turning his head to look to the side.

On that Jiang Xun's face, the eyes were shining with silver light, and he didn't respond.

"You are David."

Ark repeats.

It didn't deny either, it just asked him:

"What are you thinking?"

Fang Zhou looked at the screen again.

"I'm just thinking... What is the world outside the pond that You Yu never knows about?"

What is the real world outside of "Noah's Ark"?

The Ark of Noah's Ark,

is his ark.

Noah in Noah's Ark,

If it is Jiang Xun,

So--

Noah's Ark in Noah's Ark,

What are you saving again?

Period after period of repeated reincarnation, the NPCs seem to be frozen by time, maintaining their original appearance. The time has passed for an unknown amount of time. When Ark forgot to find the answer, one day suddenly, Little Noah declared The NPC faction wins.

["Noah's Ark" No. 9999 game is over, this season has come to a successful conclusion, please enter the waiting area for the winner...]

The mechanical sound of the system was gone, and the people who were temporarily blinded by the white light activated by Victory regained their vision from the blindness again, and sat on the seats on the inner road of the tower as before, looking at Ahead, the congratulatory message "Congratulations on the successful conclusion of this season" was written on the screen.

look at each other.

Can't believe it.

"ended?"

"What's over?"

"Season?"

"Is the season finally over?!"

The belated cheer almost toppled the tower.

After a short period of presumptuousness, under the call of the system, Ark stood up from the center seat in the first row on the first floor. The tower was filled with an atmosphere that was frozen due to excessively suppressed breathing. A virtual barrier like a light beam came to the teleportation stone surrounded by the screen, and used the main seal to open the reincarnation pool on the second floor.

Officially unblocked!

The surface of the reincarnation pool, which has been calm for thousands of years, suddenly bubbles like a soup made by a witch.

Bubbles rise from the water, like inflated balloons, gradually expand, break away from the water surface, and fly on the second floor, full of bubbles.

In every dream bubble is a figure curled up, wearing the clothes before death, maintaining the appearance before death, like a long nightmare, the feeling of being on the verge of death seems like yesterday, struggling hard, like a broken cocoon Like falling to the ground amidst streaks of white beams of light, he stared blankly at the brand-new body restored to its original state, full of doubts.

The list of rebirths was announced on the screen one by one.

In the center of the tower, which belongs to the location of the teleportation stone, a white beam of light is shot out, turning into a passing elevator.

Transparent like light and shadow.

The bereaved family members stood up in awe.

It was originally a long-awaited moment, but maybe it was waited for too long. When it really came true, it was like being anesthetized. No matter how excited the heart was, what was exposed on the outside was numbness and dullness.

It is the harvesting players who face life and death again and again during the long season. After the passion and blood are exhausted, they are about to be turned into tombstones, lifeless.

They lined up one by one to the elevator.

Congested lines.

Overloaded elevators.

Over and over again.

The traffic is between the [-]th floor and the second floor.

Li Jian hugged his resurrected mother with red eyes, and Zhang Mo hugged his father with tears in his eyes... In the silence, some people cried, some silently smiled, and some cried and laughed with "ferocious" expressions. A grotesque mime.

After all the resurrection rewards have been settled, the text on the screen has changed.

[Reincarnation Tower ends reincarnation. 】

[Restore real name——]

【Tower of Babel! 】

Tongtian?

"Om-"

A great bell rang.

The top floor of the transparent elevator, the [-]th floor, is lit up.

People consciously lined up to walk into the elevator, and they were transported to the top floor in batches.

Fang Zhou waited on the first floor, and the last group boarded the elevator.

Slowly ascending in the feeling of weightlessness, I don't know how long it took before the elevator door opened with a "ding", and the noise was heard.

"Wow ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The moment Fang Zhou stepped out of the elevator, he noticed the invisible figure beside him, and suddenly disappeared.

But he has no time to care.

For a moment, I thought that the posture of stepping out of the elevator was wrong, and the reality is so magical.

Looking back at the closed and sunken elevator, a row of searchlights on the top hit the feet, and the illuminated floor was as blue as the sky. If it weren't for the strong sense of down-to-earth touch, I almost thought I was really stepping on the sky.

And above the elevator is a huge translucent screen, facing the seats filled in all directions, broadcasting the live footage from "Noah's Ark".

In the front row of the auditorium, on the conspicuous high platform, the commentator who passionately announced the winner of this season was projected on the screen with a delicate face, which was very familiar. Every player had seen it on the car TV. ——The male anchor who announced countless announcements.

Fang Zhou was in the crowded crowd, shoulder to shoulder, all kinds of skin colors and languages ​​converging, buzzing chaotically, looking at the crowds of spectators around him in surprise.

The audience has a human-like appearance, but their faces are full of disobedience and unnaturalness, as if they were full of silicone. They shouted enthusiastically and passionately, waving ribbons and throwing gifts at them.

The fish finally jumped out of the water and found that the whole world in its eyes was just a small pond; the sandbox game "Noah's Ark" is a real "sandbox".

For a moment, Fang Zhou felt that they were like slaves performing in the arena, exhausting all their efforts to fight with their lives, just to entertain the audience.
