No. 24 touched his eyes on his nose, shook his head and said: "Impossible."
"Although [Game] is stronger than [Blood Demon] in terms of rank, according to past experience, [Game] should not violate its own rules, let alone directly kill [Blood Demon]."
"Otherwise, what does it want the protagonist of the game to do? It would be meaningless to train people like Li Qingshan and Chen Xinyi..."
"It takes action directly, and the entire plot is in a state of collapse in the eyes of the 'player'. You must know that the key service target of [the game] may be the 'player' who is still unclear, and the psychological feeling of that player is the most important !”
There was silence in the conference room for a while.
The tone of No. 24 became enthusiastic: "Let's put ourselves in the shoes of everyone. In a computer game, players work hard to challenge the final boss. Suddenly, the machine becomes a master and the computer explodes. What kind of experience is this? Can it be like that? Whoever designed this script must be a street kid!"
"That's why I'm very curious. This is the first time I've seen such an interesting demon."
"Compared with the ones that killed people at every turn in the past, it is extremely interesting... I even suspect that the objects it serves are not serious human beings. Maybe it is also a demon? Well, it is not impossible."
The atmosphere in the conference room was serious.
So many serious old men and women all stared at me, making the 24th extremely stressful.
These aunts and uncles are the real powerful figures, and all funds of the Academy of Sciences must be approved by them.
He had to explain it again: "Ahem, everyone...it is true that the purpose of playing games is to pass the level, but there are also requirements to pass the level."
"It's equivalent to a TV series where the most arduous final battle is about to begin. But suddenly the moon falls, turning the entire planet into scorched earth... It's equivalent to a plot collapse, and all the previous efforts are in vain. This kind of clearance The method is unreasonable. [The game] will never do this."
"I almost understand." No. 1 nodded, recognizing his feelings, "You don't have to feel any pressure, just speak freely!"
"The Black Guards have always valued ability, not qualifications! Say whatever comes to mind, our ability to accept it is not that bad."
No. 24 said: "In this case, I will make some irresponsible speculations."
"Everyone think about it, why is Chen Xinyi suddenly able to pass on information? Why can conch earphones, a strange thing, be able to pass on messages from the game training camp? [Game] is a real demon, so it is unlikely that such a thing exists Communication gaps.”
"There's only one explanation, and it's intentional."
"This may be some hints [the game] gives us, let us think of some solutions."
"According to the character of [the game], we can't say personality. According to its rules, we must defeat the [Blood Demon] through the power of a 'game character', an ordinary human being. This is very difficult, extremely difficult. Even if it is possible It’s too difficult to go back in time to get information.”
This makes sense.
“Since the ‘protagonist’ of the game is not qualified for this task from the perspective of objective strength, external variables must be introduced.”
"The 'plot rationality' brought about by the introduction of external variables is much higher than that of Deus ex machina."
"It's equivalent to a TV series where a batch of foreign advanced ordnance was introduced to win the difficult final war. This is actually quite reasonable, right? It's also acceptable to players."
"What are the external variables? Of course they are us, the Black Guards."
"We, the black-clad guards, are considered old acquaintances in the eyes of players. It is not out of the ordinary to appear in the game scene."
"We have some powerful magical objects at hand... so we must actively participate in this mission to completely solve this incident."
"Our initiative to intervene and cooperate is the best choice!"
"It's equivalent to... increasing your favorability!"
This reasoning on the 24th, how should I put it, actually has a sense of imagination in it, and there is no concrete and reliable evidence.
But it can be regarded as giving a general framework for people's reference.
His subtext is... hugging your thighs!
Hold tight!
Holding the thigh may be the fastest way to minimize the impact and the fewest casualties. The devil's methods and information are not comparable to humans.
Now that two behemoths are fighting each other, the best way is to hug one of them quickly.
We can even get some benefits from other countries. After all, foreign countries are in dire straits, and solving the Blood Demon incident will gain huge political chips.
But no matter what, the risks of this plan are huge.
What if [Game] is too lazy to talk to anyone?
What if it...is not ready to play with [Blood Demon]?
Once you guess wrong, humanity is doomed!
So, you can't gamble.
Even without [Game] intervening, humans still have to deal with the imminent threat of [Blood Demon].
Everyone pondered over Chen Xinyi's dictation several times.
Some people also asked for some details through Conch headphones.
"Do you remember what that middle-aged man looks like? Find a way to draw it."
"I remember, he was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a shirt, took the tram, and came here with Smith."
"We don't have this Black Guard member in the New York branch."
"According to his portrait, this person may not exist in our country. Globally, we are not sure yet."
People are trying to dig out more deep information.
Any bit of valid information may be life-saving in the future.
Soon, the gray-haired old lady No. 3 said: "In Chen Xinyi's description, he talked about another investigator from the Mysterious Bureau named Anthony Smith. This name is not necessarily true, but the person involved
There is a high probability.”
"I mean, can this be exploited? [Blood Demon] is a major event that threatens the whole world. It is impossible for us, the Black Guards, to bear all the costs. Nothing was discussed in the first emergency seminar.
"
Old man No. 1 shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can I put it this way? It has been somewhat successful, but not completely successful. Everyone knows the reason why the three monks had no water to drink."
"The old supernatural organizations still know the seriousness of the matter and have some communication with each other."
"Those newly established ones are simply... stinky fish and rotten shrimps. They won't shed tears until they see the coffin."
Having said this, he shook his head slightly: "There are some organizations that may have been infiltrated by the [Blood Demon] and became anchors for the invasion of this world."
"Longevity is what everyone wants. Some foreign high-tech companies have invented many ways to live longer, such as injecting the blood of young people into the elderly; or injecting the cerebrospinal fluid of young people into the heads of the elderly.
… All kinds of weird and bizarre methods are simply unheard of, packaged as technological gimmicks, and spread rapidly among the wealthy class.”
"Now that things have happened, they were the first ones to be attacked by the [Blood Demon]."
"How can it be so easy to borrow the power of the devil?"
"Unless we throw a nuclear bomb and trigger a world war, we can cleanse these people."
There are two supernatural organizations in the world with the longest history and the deepest foundation, the Holy See in the West and the Black Guards in the East.
With the advent of the industrial age and the rapid development of science and technology, paranormal subjects have also gotten rid of the original empirical dogma and formed a set of relatively complete theoretical systems, even though these theoretical systems are only superficial and cannot explain all abnormal phenomena.
But for the current human beings, any superficial supernatural achievements are the most valuable bargaining chips in international competition!
In terms of strength, talent, and technology, the most powerful ones currently are the Mystery Bureau, Black Guards, and Kapustin Yar Research Bureau.
It is almost directly proportional to national strength.
For example, fairy beans, in essence, provide life force to people, cure almost all diseases, and have almost no side effects. If fairy beans can be propagated in large quantities one day, the strength of the entire Daxia Kingdom can take a big step forward.
In international trade, transactions involving supernatural results are comparable to transactions that can change geographical power.
Since the Black Guards have some good things that they are unwilling to share with others, other organizations naturally have their own good things. As long as they survive long enough, there will always be some good things that will survive.
No. 1 suddenly thought of something: "You mean, use this Anthony Smith to blackmail something from the Mysterious Bureau?"
"But how valuable is a C-level investigator? A mere C-level..."
"Even if we give up this Smith, the Mystery Bureau will not suffer a big loss. In addition, according to the principle of humanitarian mutual assistance in international treaties, such investigators who are saved incidentally cannot constitute a bargaining chip."
After all, human civilization is weak in the ether abyss and may be subverted at any time. Mutual rescue is the right choice.
If this principle is violated rashly, everyone will be at risk and future cooperation will become more difficult.
"It's not what you think, Mr. No. 1. In fact, I can understand Mr. No. 24's thoughts to a certain extent."
A middle-aged man in a suit, a member of a national think tank, said on the 11th: "The information about Anthony Smith is indeed not valuable, and it is impossible to use him as a hostage. Otherwise, it would be too low-grade and not conducive to the future."
international cooperation.”
"But the reliable information about the 'Blood Demon' revealed behind it is valuable."
"What would the Mystery Bureau think if we revealed that Anthony Smith was still alive?"
"They will think, why do we know that this person exists? Why do we know that he is alive and even know what he looks like? This investigator has been involved in the Red Mist Incident."
"The information about Anthony Smith will confirm the reliability of the information we provided about [Blood Demon]."
"After all, they know very well whether there is such a person there."
"In fact, we do have extremely reliable information, which can be considered a contribution."
