Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

"..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

After a scream.

The man opened his eyes wide in shock.

The harsh morning light hit his cheek.There was a flickering spot of light in front of his eyes.The midsummer sunshine brought a slight burning sensation to the eyeballs, but it made the man unconsciously feel the joy and sadness of the rest of his life.

He sighed deeply, covered his forehead with one hand, remained silent for about 30 seconds, turned over casually, washed and changed his clothes, and prepared to start a day's working life.

The man is 28 years old this year. He was originally an ordinary urban white-collar worker. His salary is not low but not enough. He wants to find a girlfriend and feels more comfortable being single. In short, everything about him seems so ordinary in the crowd.

Until about three months ago, an inexplicable game swept the world.

"Awakening Game".

To put it simply, when the night comes, people all over the world will be randomly selected into the nightmare, and challenge various game copies in the nightmare.

After each round of the game, the game will initiate a settlement.Rewards are awarded for good performance, and points are deducted for poor performance.It's okay for the points to be deducted into negative numbers. The only side effect is that the game will no longer be open to this person.

In fact, participating in the awakening game is purely an act of looking for abuse, but now the game has been going on for three months, and except for some people whose psychological endurance is not very good, most people choose to stay in the game-the game is just Although a dream has a close to realistic sensory experience, it does not cause any damage to one's body. This has been verified by people using various methods.Compared with these costs, the rewards of the game are really rich and tempting.

Ordinary people can awaken their talents in the game, and the awakened can also get some miraculous gifts in it, such as talent upgrades, life extension, and even terminally ill patients who performed well in the game and finally regained their health.

However, most of the copies of the awakening game reflect reality, but do not really involve the exchange of real materials, so players still play games and work part-time.

Due to the indiscriminate and sweeping nature of this game, many masters have emerged among the people. Everyone is just an ordinary worker during the day, but an active player at night.

Men are also one of them.

Why is he not an ordinary player?Because he and others created the first "player exchange board" in China, where everyone shared information and revised dungeon strategies.Now more and more people gather in this communication section, and it is already one of the most influential forums in China.

Another forum where players are active is said to be a forum exclusively for the former Awakened—the kind of Awakened with innate abilities.According to the awakened ones, dungeon games are very suitable for them, because they used to go on missions to fight illusions, and the process seems to be similar.Now, the strange creatures have stopped their activities for some reason, and a large number of awakened people have nothing to do, but such a game has appeared again, and they are even a little excited.

It's just that the dungeons matched by ordinary people and awakened people seem to be quite different, and the methods of attacking are also very different.Ordinary people often participate in group dungeons to overcome difficulties through cooperation.The Awakened will sometimes be matched to a single-player copy, or even a violent output copy that has no wit factor.

It is known that dungeons may overlap, so in order to collect rewards, the existence of "dungeon raiders" is indispensable.

The man is one of the operators of the exchange forum and has become a top player among the common people.There are countless pieces of information flowing through his hands every day, and if there is any change in the "Awakening Game", he will be the first to know.

But even so, he still works hard during the day.Having come into contact with so many doomsday worlds in his dream, ordinary work is not difficult for him at all, and it has even become an experience that needs to be cherished.

And because of the existence of the awakening game, the boss doesn't even allow the employees to work overtime, and at 05:30, he will let them all go home...

In the evening, the man got a few strings of oden from the convenience store, and typed on his mobile phone while biting:

"I think this dungeon must have been designed and adjusted by humans, or at least the planner of the dungeon is a highly intelligent creature."

"Otherwise, how can we explain that our card bug strategy has only been released for a day, and the bug has been fixed? And the game seems to know that I made the strategy. The NPC in the copy yesterday did not follow logic and reason at all in order to punish me. , I was eliminated when I came up, and I was tortured alive!"

His group of friends are all forum administrators, and they all typed:

"Then have you seen the High Priest?"

"I really want to be tortured by the high priest personally—"

"Fuck off, stay away from the perverts above. The last time my sister had an accident in the dungeon, she was rescued by the high priest himself. After my sister came back, she was out of her wits, and now she runs into the game every day."

"Can there be an accident in the copy?"

"Yes, some monsters in the dungeon will also get out of control, but it seems that the probability is very small. The one my sister was matched with was originally a difficult book, and it was in hell mode, but there was no awakener in the audience. It should be a problem with the matching mechanism The High Priest came to the rescue."

After a few minutes, the speaker spoke again:

"Everyone, I just received news from my sister that she has awakened her talent, and her primary assessment is A-level... No wonder she was assigned to that dungeon..."

A group of water friends congratulated him on hearing the words. A-level awakened people are not common even in today's society. If they are powerful talents, they can even get a job in the public office very quickly, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

During the period, someone also spoke:

"Don't you doubt the high priest? It is known that he is the supreme god under the entire game mechanism, and this game is probably created by him. Then why did he make the game for no reason?"

But this question was quickly dismissed.

First of all, this question is really old-fashioned. It has been asked badly when the game first appeared, but no one can come up with a definite answer.Secondly, the "Awakening Game" is not like the infinite flow survival game in traditional novels. If you can't pass the level, you have to die. In the dungeon, the player will indeed "die" once, but it is all fake, and in a dream state, there is almost nothing Pain.And if the players fail to successfully clear the dungeon, most of the endings will be the end of the world. That kind of scene will bring people far more spiritual shock than physical impact.

All of these seem to remind humans that this game exists not to fool them, but to remind them of something.

The happiness of private players is to try their best to get rid of bugs and get rid of game wool. As an official government organization, they need to consider more issues.

It is impossible for them to give up exploring the origin of the game and studying the rules of the game.

Among them, the key items to be investigated are——

high priest.

At present, there is direct evidence to prove that the high priest is the owner of the game and the controller of the rules.

The authorities not only need to explore the reason why the strange creatures suddenly stopped their activities, but also dig deep into why the high priest created such a game.

So they sent countless investigators to this game, and almost all the awakened people who were idle in the executive bureau were sent out to record information.

Another group of people searched for the High Priest in the real space.

Theory Of course, as expected, the first to get a preliminary conclusion is the Hall of Gods.

"... There are records related to the high priest in a human temple found in the extreme north." The expert from the Hall of Gods said, "His identity is very mysterious and has the power of a god, but according to our previous experience, it must be Only those who have a god can be called a god, so he is not a god in the traditional sense."

"He seems to be very respected by ancient people - the temples of other gods are all built by heterogeneous relatives, and only the temple of the high priest has traces of human craftsmanship."

"They called him, 'The Sage of Men.'"

There was a momentary silence.

But no matter what, at least the "high priest" seems to be on the side of human beings so far, so the problem doesn't seem so serious.

The next thing they want to explore is why the high priest suddenly created such an "awakening game".

"As the name suggests, he has something to tell us," said someone from the executive bureau. "Remember that thing we saw when we failed in the game?"

Doomsday, and the sky wheel.

"Since it is a human sage, it is meaningless to keep playing charades. I think we can try to contact the sage in the game to obtain more information. For this, we still need a lot of information support—is the sage really Human? Does he know our language? Does he have empathy? Does he share our civilization? These are the questions.”

"I think we can turn to folk players for help. Our manpower is limited, but the number of folk players..."

The discussion is still going on in full swing.

Although this is a regular meeting, it is a large-scale meeting where all units gather.

Si Qingxuan, Zhaolin, Lin Chu, Li Zhiming, Shu Yan and others were all present.They also have to pretend to participate in the discussion, echoing two nonsense words from time to time to make themselves appear less abnormal.

In fact, after the awakening game started, the task of maintaining the daily operation of the game was of course handed over to the fantasy library system. After all, it is a system and not an individual, and its ability to process information is much faster than humans.

The game is still in its infancy now, and there are basically no intelligent NPCs arranged. The most ferocious ones are the group performances of various monsters pulled from the strange world.But just the problems to be dealt with at present are enough to exhaust the believers of Yuanyue.

Most of the event systems will handle it, but the calculation and adjustment of some dungeons will eventually require human beings to decide.Otherwise, the system can kill those players.

"We need copywriting."

"We need a GM."

"We need a copy planner."

"We need testers."

The disciples of Yuanyue listened calmly to the discussion of how to break the awakening game at the meeting, but secretly protested passionately to the boss, Si Qingxuan.

Si Qingxuan: "I know, I know, there will be."

...It seems that he still needs to go to see a few more game plans?

High Priest, the most beautiful nightmare.

He can be as soft as a spring breeze, and can be ruthless.

No one knows his real appearance, his face is always blurred in a mist, but people just know that he is an unparalleled beauty in the world.

Every day, there are people who passionately confess to the high priest on the forum, and express their hope that they can exchange their praise for the high priest for preferential treatment through the back door in the dungeon game.When the onlookers see this kind of post, they will go in and leave a message saying "you are dreaming".But metaphysical posts related to the high priest are still increasing by hundreds every day.

Everyone is proud to be favored by the high priest.

When will the high priest appear?

When there are exceptionally good players in the dungeon, or when there is a problem with the dungeon.

So most people want to see the high priest, either desperately, or die.

People stared at the doomsday scene in the game in the boundary between life and death again and again, as well as the huge sky wheel that was falling but never completely lowered, and they had a faint premonition in their hearts.

This is the ultimate problem that requires them to do their best to overcome.
