This is reality, Liu Feng is clearly aware that this is reality.

But he couldn't figure out why he was tied here?Was he in the ego game before?

When did he enter the game of me?

Liu Feng quickly recalled that when he wanted to determine a point in time, he suddenly thought of the most deadly feature of the ego game - tampering with memory.

Memory is not such a reliable thing.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng became uncertain about all the surrounding scenes again.

Is this reality?

"It seems that he has also fallen into the vortex of self-doubt." Xiaoju would angrily "hum" before saying a word to express his dissatisfaction.

"This is making you angry, come here, I'll give you Shun Shun." Ah Tou signaled Xiaoju to get closer to her, before she moved over, she rubbed Xiaoju's head with a smile.

"Can I not be angry! Go away!" Xiaoju pushed Ah Tou's hand aside, pointed at the computer screen and complained, "Why did this wretched man imagine that I would slip away in the end? He found me again, and then... Damn, is it disgusting?"

"Oh, it turns out that you are upset that you are being bullied." Ah Tou whispered something in her ear, and Xiaoju flew up and kicked her on the waist.Ah Tou howled and fell on the sofa, tears streaming down from the pain:

"Are you wearing the appearance of a female war Buddha? You! So strong!"

Liu Feng saw a gloomy girl sitting in a corner, her short hair hadn't been properly taken care of for a while, and the bangs on her forehead were casually lifted to the top of her head, and her hair was tied into a small braid. One of her legs had a prosthetic leg under the knee. This person must be Axue.

The person sitting on the single sofa to the left of Ah Xue and talking on the phone is Ah Lei.

These details are not synthesized by the game system, Liu Feng confirmed that he is in reality.

"Xu Youyuan." After confirming the world he was in, Liu Feng quickly calmed down and asked Xu Youyuan, "Since I'm in your hands now, can you help me solve my doubts? Did you escape in the game? Or did you guys never go in at all?"

After Liu Feng asked this question, when he faced Xu Youyuan's calm face, he quickly confirmed:

"No, you did enter the id game, but you came out again. You took me into the id game while I was sleeping, didn't you? I saw something about you after I woke up. All game scenes are all fake."

Liu Feng's mind is still working very well, Shi Yue didn't want to cover it up at all: "Yes."

"The one who rescued you from the game must be Xu Youyuan."

No one in the room spoke, but judging from the subtle expressions in their exchanged eyes, Liu Feng knew that his guess was still correct.

Shi Yue: "It's a pity for your clever mind."

Liu Feng chuckled: "I guessed that Xiao Xu is the key person, but I still can't figure out how Xiao Xu got out of my game." Liu Feng looked at Xu Youyuan, "It's impossible for you to think of me from the beginning. I will take advantage of the black box finals to hack into the system and connect your neurons. How did you do it?"

Liu Feng noticed that Xu Youyuan had been sitting on the chair from the very beginning, and she was covering her right side rib with her hand the whole time, her face was pale, and cold sweat was still oozing from her forehead.

She was hurt and was in pain.

Liu Feng became even more curious after discovering this.

Whether it's the black box or the self game, the virtual scene is directly loaded in the brain by connecting neurons. Even if you get injured in the virtual scene, it won't damage your physical body in reality. How did Xu Youyuan get this injury?

Xu Youyuan said: "I really didn't expect you to directly hack into the dark box system, but I'm still on guard against my own game."

"How could you be on guard?" Liu Feng said, "You probably don't know about my game..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Feng thought of someone: "Oh, no wonder...Xiao Ke, did she tell you?"

Xu Youyuan didn't answer his question, but the silence itself already represented affirmation.

"How did you take precautions?" Liu Feng continued to ask, he was really curious about Xu Youyuan's operation.

"Fear." Xu Youyuan said, "Although I have never entered the ego game, I am well aware of its dangers. The fear of the ego game keeps me awake at all times."

"Can you stay awake just because of fear?" Liu Feng didn't believe it.

"Of course, there must be some specific measures..." At this point, Xu Youyuan breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Yue felt sorry for her, and told her to stop talking and go to the hospital, Xu Youyuan shook her head.

Today, she must let Liu Feng know that she must settle with Liu Feng.

Before the finals, when Shi Yue entered the first version of my game alone, Xu Youyuan was left with lingering fears. It was just so terrifying in the experimental stage. If the experiment is completed, what kind of lethality will the final official version with everything repaired ?

Xu Youyuan dare not imagine.

But she is sure to improve the fatal flaw.

Because Shi Yue has never met Xu Youyuan in the experimental game, she is on guard. Even if her memory has been tampered with, she can still continue to doubt the virtual scene, which is why she is not overwhelmed.

This flaw is very obvious and fatal, and it will definitely be fixed in the official version.

Xu Youyuan believes that the final version will be very difficult to distinguish the real from the virtual, even familiar people will definitely appear, and even key points will appear, which is the most critical factor to confuse players and make them obedient.

Immersed in the official version of the game, you may really never get out.

Before entering the experimental version, Shiyue set up a recording reminder, but it was useless. She could only be forced to wake her up by directly unplugging the access crystal, which required the intervention of external forces.What if you were suddenly plugged into a scary game without warning?How do I wake myself up?

It is very important to establish an effective wake-up mechanism.

Xu Youyuan analyzed why the wake-up from the recording failed last time, because the recording was temporarily recorded. Although it was Shi Yue's own voice, her subconscious mind did not have much connection with this recording.Even though the recorded content was to make her wake up quickly, it was actually just some sounds.

People in normal sleep will be awakened by the sound, but the will held hostage by the experimental game cannot return smoothly.

If you want to establish an effective wake-up mechanism, the most important point is to link this mechanism with the "awaken" itself.

Xu Youyuan intends to record a sound as a wake-up alarm every morning. It only takes a week, and the subconscious mind is automatically linked to the behavior of "waking up". Even in the game scene, it can immediately remind the brain that it is time to "wake up".She believes this mechanism should be more reliable than pure voice reminders.

However, what kind of sound should be recorded?

The problem before us is that even if you want to record any sound, you need to set the opening period in advance.I don't know when the official version of the experimental game will come quietly. Even if the notification sound sounds every day, what if the passive entry into the game happens outside the set time period?Shi Yue said that time passes very slowly in the experimental game, and an hour in reality can be as long as a month in the experimental game. If the notification sound is not set properly, the sound may not be loud and people will be cold.

It can't be ringing every 15 minutes... People have to go crazy before entering the experimental game.

What she needs is a more intelligent wake-up mechanism.

Just when Xu Youyuan was worried, Ah Shuang, who was hungry, walked up to her and barked a few times, urging her to eat quickly.

A flash of light flashed in Xu Youyuan's mind.

"My baby, Ah Shuang." Xu Youyuan stroked Ah Shuang's big head, her face full of excitement, "You are really timely. Hurry up!"

She took out her mobile phone and stuck it to Ah Shuang's mouth: "Call twice!"

When Ah Shuang yelled again, Xu Youyuan recorded its yelling and set it as the wake-up alarm.

After that, Xu Youyuan would wake up to Ah Shuang's cry every morning.Sometimes Shi Yue would sleep in the lab when she was too busy working in the lab until too late and didn't want to disturb Xu Youyuan, and she would sleep early and slip into Xu Youyuan's room the next morning when she was perfectly inlaid, and she would also be called by Ah Shuang Wake up by the sound, but not as many times as Xu Youyuan, and the subconscious connection is not as close as Xu Youyuan.

Xu Youyuan used Ah Shuang's voice as the alarm because she liked Ah Shuang's "intelligence".

Even if everyone was connected to the experimental game, but as a pet dog, no matter how frantic Liu Feng was, it would be impossible to connect Ah Shuang.

Liu Feng has a hacker team against the sky. Xu Youyuan doesn't know how fragile modern electronic products and networks are in front of them. If the electronic products for recording are blocked by then, there will still be Ah Shuang who can walk freely and freely. dog barks.

Moreover, the dog is very sensitive to the abnormality of the owner. Once it notices something is wrong, it will bark. There is no need to worry about being captured by the game scene for too long and the wake-up mechanism has not been activated.

Setting Ah Shuang's voice as the wake-up mechanism is the safest and smartest way Xu Youyuan can think of.

After listening to Xu Youyuan's words, Liu Feng couldn't help boasting: "Wonderful, really wonderful, you are still so smart."

Xu Youyuan said: "The reminder device you implanted in the skin is also based on this principle."

"Yes, that's right. Those who arrange the steel cables must first take measures to prevent falls from high altitudes." Liu Feng said, "So, when your dog barked, you woke up?"

"It's also been a struggle..." Xu Youyuan said, "The scenes in my game are based on the real world, and I have input all the elements of the real world, so that people can't doubt it from the details. Then through the access The neurons extract the private information of the player's brain, look for the point that scares the player the most, and build a virtual scene based on this point, or a virtual plot, right?"

Liu Feng also acquiesced.

Hearing this, Alei was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to find the point that scares players the most?"

The pain in Xu Youyuan's ribs made her face pale, and she kept talking with a sigh of relief, and she couldn't catch up when she was interrupted for a while.

Ashe, who has been listening and thinking carefully, answered for her:

"If I'm not wrong, people, it's the easiest time to believe when you're scared. It's like you go to a haunted house, even if you know everything in the haunted house is fake, but you will be frightened and scream , because you believed fear. Fear is the most defenseless feeling."

Liu Feng chuckled, he didn't feel the tension of being tied up at all, as if he was communicating with his peers:

"Xiao Xu, I have never seen your perspective in my game, but I remember Shi always seemed to have committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. The scene before I went to sleep should be real. Mr. Du sent someone in reality It is true to look for you, even if you can wake up from the game, it is difficult to escape from Mr. Du, how did you escape?"

Speaking of which, someone opened the door and came in.

"Boss." Little Teddy put down the two buckets of drinks, and said to Shi Yue, "Ru Shuang's inspection is over, there is nothing serious about her ankle."

"That's good. You and her, I'll give her a vacation, and when her feet are fine, she will come back to work."

Little Teddy was envious, Shi Yue continued: "You also have a good rest tomorrow, okay?"

Little Teddy smiled like a flower, glanced at Liu Feng and backed out.

When the door was closing, Liu Feng found a woman sitting outside the door through the crack of the door. The woman was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, her hands in the pockets of her long windbreaker, and she was wearing a bluetooth headset in one ear. His eyes were staring at Liu Feng.

Liu Feng knew this woman.

Mr. Du's own sister, also his political enemy, an important figure in the D Party, Director Du.

Looking at the computer that was most likely connected to a Bluetooth headset, Liu Feng fell into deep thought.

This matter may be more complicated than he imagined, and the people standing behind Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue are also stronger than he expected.

……

Ah Shuang screamed wildly for an unknown amount of time, and Xu Youyuan, who had been ups and downs in the game for an unknown amount of time, suddenly opened her eyes, as if jumping off a high-speed train without warning, Xu Youyuan's heart was beating wildly extremely fast.

At that moment, she even forgot who she was, and curled up covering her heart, panting for a long time before regaining her senses.

Opening her eyes again, the first person she saw was Shi Yue lying in front of her.

Memories of reality, memories of the finals in the back room, memories of the ego game... the memories of the three worlds are intertwined in Xu Youyuan's mind, making her confused.

Ah Shuang, who was locked on the balcony, was still circling anxiously and screaming non-stop. Xu Youyuan took off the access crystals at the end of her eyebrows, walked slowly to the balcony, and opened the door.

Ah Shuang flicked her tail and jumped at her happily, making an excited and happy "嘿嘿" soft sound, Xu Youyuan stroked its head, and the evening wind blowing in from the open window of the balcony gradually dissipated the haze of imaginary memories , She managed to clarify the memory line of reality, and determined which piece of memory was true and which was false.

Recalling the miserable fictional scene, she found that after winning the championship from the dark box to now, all the scenes similar to the real world are fictional. Xu Youyuan, who has always maintained a high degree of vigilance against experimental games, was caught by It was connected to the experimental game, and it couldn't be dismantled in the scene, but after returning to reality, I could still smell the breath from the old club.

Combining all the details before and after, Xu Xiaoyuan guessed that the dark room might have been hacked by Liu Feng's hacker team.

What about the other players in the dark room?

A suppressed cry sounded from behind Xu Youyuan, Xu Youyuan turned around and found that the person who called was Xiaoju.

Even though Xiaoju was barking, she still couldn't wake herself up.Tears flowed from the closed eyes, and he raised his hand as if he wanted to grab something, but also seemed to block something, and the suppressed voice seemed to be calling for Ah Tou.

Compared with other calmer people, Xu Youyuan knows that Xiaoju's subconscious is rejecting everything that happens in the ego game.

"Xiaoju, Xiaoju!" Xu Youyuan stepped forward to shake her, calling her name while shaking, trying to make her wake up quickly.

Xiaoju opened her eyes on her own initiative, but her consciousness has not returned yet.

She has a strong knowledge of hacking, and her personality is more self-centered. She has realized that something is wrong with the world she lives in. She pushes Atou away and hides in the house. When she is about to escape from the window, she finds that the building is too high and there is no way out. escape.

Ah Tou smashed the door harder and harder, completely like a thriller.

Xiaoju pulled out the bed cover and quilt, twisted it into a rope and tied it in a knot, and when she was about to take the risk of climbing down, the notebook on the table suddenly turned on by itself.

"Xiaoju!" The notebook actually called her name!Still a woman's voice!

Xiaoju looked at the notebook in disbelief, feeling that the voice seemed a little familiar...

I couldn't remember why it was familiar for a while, but a flash of inspiration appeared in my mind, a method to verify whether this world is the real world.

She quickly sat down in front of the computer and entered a series of complex codes. This code was written by her before. It can only run in her home network, and it will be invalid if it goes out of this network!

The code did not succeed!Xiaoju is sure that she is not in the real world!

At this moment, the door of the room was smashed open, and Ah Tou was holding a smashed chair leg in his bloody hand.

"Run, run again!" Ah Tou raised the leg of the chair and smashed it at Xiaoju's head. Xiaoju didn't dodge. At this moment, she felt an indescribable physical sensation, her whole body was shaking crazily .

She has only one belief - wake up!

Seeing that Xiaoju was showing signs of waking up, Xu Youyuan shook her body harder, and Xiaoju's dull eyes suddenly caught up with Xu Youyuan's eyes, and jumped up screaming.

"Xiaoju, it's me, it's me." Xu Youyuan didn't move forward immediately, but kept a distance from her, slowly attracted her attention, and told her little by little what happened.

With the help of Xu Youyuan, Xiaoju straightened out the messy information in her mind. Thinking of the scum in the game, Ah Tou, Xiaoju walked up to Ah Tou and kicked her ass.

Unexpectedly, this kick kicked Atou off the sofa, and the access crystal was also torn off.Xu Youyuan, who was thinking about whether she could directly pick and insert the crystal, was stunned, obviously Xiaoju didn't expect her kick to be so powerful.

Xu Youyuan wanted to go up to see Ah Tou's situation.

"Wait a minute." Xiaoju took a fruit plate from the coffee table, pointed it at Ah Tou's head, and then signaled Xu Youyuan with her eyes that she could approach.

Once Ah Tou's access crystal is not picked out properly, Xiaoju is absolutely willing to take a picture of her and bring her back to unconsciousness again.

Ah Tou opened his eyes, and the moment he saw the fierce man holding a plate and preparing to pat her Xiaoju, his frightened expression slowly stretched out, and tears gushed out like a spring.

Xiaoju: "..."

Ah Tou opened his arms and hugged Xiaoju into his arms, tightly encircling her.

"It's a beautiful dream. I dreamed of you again." Ah Tou murmured like running water, flowing by Xiaoju's ear, "Wake up slowly this time, let me hug you for a while."

Xiaoju's thought of wanting to beat her up was washed away by her tight hug and tears.

"Stupid you, I'm the real one." Xiaoju held Ah Tou's face and wiped away her tears, "Look at me carefully!"

When Atuzai caressed Xiaoju's face carefully and felt her body temperature with his fingertips, tears condensed in his eyes, unbelievable.

"How is this going?"

Xiaoju put the fruit plate back, took out two pieces of paper by the way, helped Atou wipe away her tears, and told her about the game carefully.

Ah Tou: "So, I'm in the real world now? You're not dead?"

"Of course, why am I dead? Don't you still feel hot when you touch me?"

"However, I have touched your body before, and I still remember the cold feeling."

On a normal day, Xiaoju would have annoyed her long ago, but during this special period, Xiaoju changed her usual impatient manner, held her hand very patiently, sat on the carpet with her, and explained what happened of all things.

It seems that the method of directly removing the access crystal still works, but the player may bring back a large amount of information in the virtual scene, causing memory confusion.

Xu Youyuan observed Atou's situation for a while, and decided to quickly remove the other people's access crystals.

The confusion of memory can be intervened artificially to help adjust it back. Ah Tou is in a good condition and has gradually remembered everything.

The game scene is too dangerous, no matter how it is considered, it is safer to wake up forcibly.

After removing all the access crystals of Shi Yue, Yan Rong and Cang Lu, Yan Rong and Cang Lu woke up one after another, and Xiaoju and Atou, who was already fully awake, told them one-on-one what happened.

Cang Lu and Yan Rong slowly adjusted, but Shi Yue never woke up.

No matter how Xu Youyuan called her, she didn't open her eyes, she just moved her fingers, or hummed a few times, giving some weak responses.

"What's going on here?" Ah Tou squatted beside Shi Yue,

"Is Shi Yue trapped in the game scene?"

Cang Lu couldn't believe it:

"It stands to reason that Shiyue's thoughts are active and her personality is stoic. We can all wake up smoothly after removing the access crystals. Shiyue should wake up faster than us. Why..."

Xiaoju and Ah Tou glanced at each other and had a guess in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it directly.

Xu Youyuan said: "She still has a voice, she is not dead, it is possible that the scene she encountered has too much restraint on her, so she has not been able to come out."

"It's most likely about you." Xiaoju said to Xu Youyuan, "After all, Shiyue has a deep affection for you. Apart from artificial intelligence, her life is all about you. Even you account for more in her heart than hers. The cause is much bigger. We have all just experienced the game scene and know how real and terrifying it is, and Shiyue must have experienced something related to you."

Yan Rong agreed very much: "The more people care about things, the more likely they are to be held hostage."

Xiaoju said: "Don't look at Shiyue who is usually anti-human, but she actually has weaknesses. Xu Youyuan, you are her most fatal weakness."

Xu Youyuan understood what they said, and she understood it better than anyone else.

There can be no further delay.

"Xiaoju, I have an idea, only you can help me."

Xiaoju: "What?"

"The system in the dark room was hacked and this series of things happened. Can you capture the other party's network and export it backwards?"

"should be no problem."

"Okay, let's start now."

"Yes, yes, but... what are you going to do?"

Xu Youyuan picked up the access crystal in the dark box and stuck it back to Shi Yue's eyebrows. Shi Yue soon began to speak and move in a daze, as if she had returned to the game scene.

Xu Youyuan said: "You capture the system, and I will write the connection program. I want to enter Shiyue's game scene and wake her up in the scene."

"Are you crazy?" Cang Lu held her back, "You have no idea what kind of scene Shi Yue is going through, such a dangerous thing... What if you can't get out?"

"I agree." Xiaoju said, "It's too risky to do this. You can rely on consciousness or methods to wake up in the scene laid by your own brain, but it's different when you enter the scene in Shiyue's brain. No one has done experiments. There is no data to support your approach, which is too dangerous."

"Of course I know that there is a possibility of danger." Xu Youyuan went to the laboratory to take out the computer and began to write code quickly, "But now Shiyue is 100% in danger, I can't let her be there alone .”

"Can……"

"No need to say any more, I've already made up my mind. Send me into Shiyue's game scene." Xu Youyuan's voice was cold and decisive, no one could refute.

The only sound left in the room was the sound of Xu Youyuan typing on the keyboard.

"Okay." Xiaoju took out the inseparable computer, "I can capture it, but I can't guarantee a stable reverse export, so Lao Xu, your consciousness must be 100% firm, otherwise you may not be connected to the time yet." In the Yueyue scene, you yourself are lost in the huge cyberspace.”

"I have a solution." Xu Youyuan quickly wrote the code. She had written the code for the connection between this group of players before, and it was very smooth to write it again.

Xiaoju quickly completed the operation, Xu Youyuan attached the access crystal, and before entering Shiyue's game scene, she asked Atou: "You should get a tattoo."

"Well, I have tattooed it." Ah Tou raised her hand, there was a tattoo on her forearm, but she didn't know why Xu Youyuan asked this.

"Did you ask the tattoo artist where the tattoo hurts the most?"

Ah Tou thought for a while, then pointed to his ribs: "Here..."

Xu Youyuan picked up the fruit knife, took out a large band-aid from the drawer, and went to the bathroom.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the knife, and they rushed to the door of the bathroom.

"Youyuan, what are you doing? Don't mess around!" Cang Lu called her outside the door.

In the bathroom, Xu Youyuan stood in front of the mirror and picked up her clothes, rolled them into a ball, bit her mouth, and cut open the skin of her ribs with a knife.

The sharp pain made her sweat, and her chest heaved unceasingly.

Enduring the excruciating pain, he slashed with a knife...

All right……

The knife fell to the ground, Xu Youyuan, who was pale, supported the edge of the pool for a long time, and then raised a little strength to wipe off the blood, and put the Band-Aid on the rib wound.

"Okay..." Pushing open the door and walking out, everyone took a step back in fright at her bloodless appearance.

Xu Youyuan was firmer than ever: "Xiaoju, send me in."

Pain can leave the deepest traces in memory.

Of all the things that happened when she was two years old, Xu Youyuan only remembered one thing.

She was curious about the glowing light bulb and insisted on touching it. In the end, her little hand was burned red, causing her to cry.

The pain made her write down the incident.

Some people have some things that have been washed away by the river of memory very vaguely, but the feeling of heartache, and even the painful scene can always be remembered clearly beyond the thing itself.

Xu Youyuan scratched three numbers on the ribs with a knife, "3".

This used to be Shi Yue's pain in the real world.

Now Xu Youyuan engraved it on the most painful place, and it became the most important weapon to keep awake.

The moment she entered Shiyue's game world, Xu Youyuan fell into a boundless piece of water.

She tried to swim forward, tried to open her eyes.

Finally saw Shi Yue.

She wasn't sure Shi Yue was still alive.

When swimming towards Shiyue with all her strength, Xu Youyuan remembered the question she asked her when Canglu asked her to make a love game.

"Youyuan, when do you think love is strongest and most felt?"

At that time, Xu Youyuan's answer was "when two people are in love with each other".

Now she understands, no.

It is the strongest when you can't get what you want, when you are desperate.
