The Endless Abyss of Online Games

Being able to roam around here at will, knowing the map like the back of the back of the hand, and being respected by the guarding NPC, shouldn't the first thing that comes to mind for this character be the owner of the Demon Palace?

That is what players generally call - Demon Emperor.

Shen Ce was given a headache by the absurd thoughts in his mind. As the highest level NPC of the demon clan in "Across the Sky", the Demon Emperor is also the boss who is at odds with the light camp.For the sake of fairness, Shen Ce did not believe that "Across the Sky" would find its own staff to play this character.

Thinking of this, Shen Ce was taken aback. He suddenly found himself in a strange circle, because he was the first to propose the relationship between Cyrus and "Across the Sky" from the beginning to the end, and Cyrus himself had never formalized it. He admitted it, and every time he mentioned this question, Cyrus took a vague answer.

If it is the staff of "Across the Sky" that overthrows Sairos... Shen Ce was startled suddenly, maybe, he was really wrong, Shen Ce began to recall the scene when he first saw Sairos, at that time, did he Ever thought Cyrus was an NPC?Because he thought at the time that it was impossible for a player to have such a terrifying skill.

If Cyrus is not a player, but just an NPC, everything will be logical: Cyrus can appear anytime and anywhere, and he never takes the initiative to do tasks or fight monsters, but he has an unusual force value. The most important point, Shen Ce has never seen any other player appear beside Cyrus besides himself.

Is this really like the game life of a normal player?

Shen Ce's throat was inexplicably dry, because he found that he seemed to have realized with Cyrus that now, the center of Cyrus in "Across the Sky" revolved around him, and he only saw Cyrus take the initiative once. I mentioned leaving, but does darkening the profile picture really mean that you are offline?

Assuming Cyrus is really an NPC, why can he do tasks with him and marry him?Shen Ce's expression became dazed, and he thought of the popular sci-fi movies decades ago, about the brain producing real wisdom and trying to manipulate human beings.But in reality, artificial intelligence has been developed for nearly a hundred years, and this kind of thing has never happened.

"What's wrong?" Cyrus turned his head, and found that Shen Ce was frozen in place, silent in thought.

Shen Ce couldn't accept this fact for a while, he looked up at Sailuosi, and forced a smile from the corner of his lips: "Siluosi, Shui Linglong sent me a private message just now, someone is making trouble in Juzhen Pavilion, this matter is too difficult, I I think I have to leave here first, why don't you go find the holy object first?"

Silos was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression soon became gloomy: "Zero, why did you lie to me?"

Hearing Sai Luos' words, Shen Ce was stunned, not understanding why Sai Luos knew that he had fabricated this matter.

The side face of Silos was a little lonely, his silver-white cloak was shaken by the wind in the corridor: "You can't send private messages in the demon palace, haven't you noticed?"

Now Shen Ce was really stunned. With a thought, he found that a lot of things were missing in the information panel, and the top message bar was also missing.

"Have you guessed my identity?" Selos took a step forward, and he pressed Shen Ce's shoulder hard, with anger in his eyes: "Do you think I will kill you?"

In this sentence, Cyrus admits that he is not a player?

Shen Ce tried his best to calm his emotions. In fact, ever since the illusion in the Amethyst Mine, Shen Ce had been a little afraid of Cyrus in his heart, but Shen Ce didn't think that Cyrus wanted to kill him.He just didn't understand why Silos was willing to play with him for so long as an NPC, because he thought he was very interesting?Or, just because he regards Cyrus as a player, it makes Cyrus feel very fresh?

Shen Ce looked at Cyrus suddenly with some sympathy, because Shen Ce couldn't imagine the situation of Cyrus, if one day he was unintentionally told that the world he lived in was actually false, and everything had been arranged long ago, what would happen to him? What would he think?Shen Ce doesn't know, maybe he will collapse or not...

"Are you sympathizing with me?" The anger in Sai Luosi's eyes dissipated, and he regained his composure in an instant, and there were too many things in those eyes, which made Shen Ce a little uncomfortable.

Shen Ce lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Cyrus, his voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry." While speaking, Shen Ce silently recited the word offline in his heart. Knowing that Cyrus is actually an NPC today, Shen Ce too Caught off guard, he needs to go offline to calm down.

Shen Ce was waiting for the white light to flash off the assembly line, but he waited for nearly a minute, but he still didn't get it!

How can this be!The veins on Shen Ce's forehead twitched several times. He pursed his lips and glanced at the information panel. After confirming that he was not in the PK state, Shen Ce comforted himself that it was just a system delay.Shen Ce silently recited the word offline again, but time passed by, and the most timely teleportation white light on weekdays did not appear!

Shen Ce's breathing began to become a little short, and he continued to call the word "offline" in disbelief, but the white light just didn't come.

Shen Ce took a deep breath, and when he was about to try again, Sailuosi looked at him with a half-smile, with a leisurely tone and usual laziness: "Zero, don't try, it will be useless if you try again."

Hearing these words, Shen Ce's heart suddenly sank. He had heard of a time-limited map before. Players would not be able to log off during the specified time. However, Shen Ce had discovered earlier that his task panel could not be summoned either. , and from the beginning to the end, Shen Ce never heard any time-limited system prompts.

"Serous, can you modify the program?" Shen Ce stared at the tall figure in front of him, and said slowly word by word, while his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

Cyrus, who has true consciousness, is the biggest bug in "Across the Sky". He has one of the best data equipment. Once the disease is damaged, it is definitely not difficult to modify other programs.

But Shen Ce never imagined that Cyrus was so strong that he couldn't get off the line!

Shen Ce is a professional player, and his time in the game is even longer than in reality, but this does not mean that Shen Ce is willing to stay in the game forever!

The smile on Selos's lips was very pleasant, but his tone was slightly regretful: "Actually, I wanted to go to the world you mentioned, but even if I mastered the procedure of going offline, I didn't No matter what, you can’t get off the line.”

How can you go offline if you don’t have a corresponding body in reality?

"Stay here, okay?" Cyrus' voice was very quiet, with a kind of pale melancholy.

Stay in the game?Shen Ce shuddered involuntarily. In the final analysis, Shen Ce is too realistic a person. For Cyrus, Shen Ce has a bit of awe and a bit of liking, but for the sake of Cyrus, he will stay in the same game forever. , Shen Ce is unwilling no matter what.

Shen Ce raised his eyes to look at the pair of pupils as deep as a silent night, but he still didn't speak in the end.According to the setting of "Across the Sky", the eyes of the demons have a special magical power, which can even deflect other people's thoughts. In order to avoid being disturbed by Cyrus, Shen Ce simply closed his eyes and began to think of ways to get out.

Shen Ce's major is also programming, and he thinks he has certain attainments in this area. All programming must have its flaws. Cyrus, as a piece of data, will never be an exception even if it produces consciousness.

"Open your eyes." Selos suddenly hugged Shen Ce, and he whispered in Shen Ce's ear.

An aura that didn't belong to him fell on his cheek, and Shen Ce's heartbeat accelerated for a while. Suddenly, the picture in the illusion and the words that the middle-aged man said to him appeared in his mind - all the illusions here are half-hearted. True or false, even if it is not what you have in mind, it must be something that you have experienced.

"Serous, do you really like me?" Shen Ce felt the coolness of the other person's body temperature, he opened his eyes helplessly, but was dazed by the scene in front of him, and the tense atmosphere before also faded away.

It turned out that they had already left the Demon Palace, and arrived at a certain mountaintop in front of the palace. The overlooking perspective was even more amazing. Everything was as beautiful as a picture scroll. Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, Shen Ce couldn't let it go.

"I thought you knew it a long time ago." With a smile on his face, Selos' eyes were clear and narrow. He sat on the ground with Shen Ce in his arms, and the wind brushed their robes, making a rustling sound.

"Can you let me go?" Shen Ce knew that he was too negligent before, if he hadn't shown such resistance to Cyrus' status as an NPC, maybe he and Cyrus could live together in peace for a while.

Seeing that Cyrus didn't let go, Shen Ce sighed: "It's uncomfortable for you to hold me like this." As he spoke, Shen Ce tried to break free from Cyrus' restraint.

However, Shen Ce quickly stopped moving, his complexion darkened in an instant, Shen Ce knew that he had guessed correctly about the thing behind him that was against him...

"It was you who moved first." Cyrus looked at Shen Ce with a smile, he explained this sentence innocently, but there was a bit of complacency in his voice.

Stared at by those deep purple eyes, Shen Ce can feel how hot those eyes are without looking, what's more, now that there is something more threatening, Shen Ce's voice is extremely dry: "Don't. "

Shen Ce is also a man, he knows that men are sometimes very impulsive: "At least not here."

Seeing Sailuosi's eyes light up, as if the ice and snow had disappeared, Shen Ce's heart skipped a beat immediately, and he quickly added: "Not at this time either, give me some time to think about it."

But Shen Ce knew that no amount of time would be able to reverse his thoughts, because he never thought of accepting Cyrus from the beginning to the end.If there was some possibility between the two of them when Sairos was a player before, now Shen Ce completely gave up the idea of ​​being with Sailuos.
