Two hundred and twenty-eighth murder under the sun
When Sun Ran came back from his trance, he found that he was leaning on the billboard at the bus stop, holding a thin and wide electronic communication device in his hand. A wooden yellow color appeared on the color LCD screen of the device.
Background for text browse web page.
He knew that this thing was called a touch-screen mobile phone, and the person he was possessing was reading a novel on this thing while waiting for the bus.
Background information continues to flow through your mind.
His body name is 'Gu Cheng', which has the same pronunciation as a certain romantic poet in this world. He is twenty-three years old. He has just graduated from college six months ago and is working in Jiangcheng, a large city in southern China. His job has not yet stabilized.
He moves frequently, has no fixed residence, and belongs to the drifting tribe.
This body does not belong to the player, but to an NPC. This is also a feature of "Superpower Earth", which never takes the player's body to carry out order tasks.
In the supernatural earth, the population is more than 5 billion, of which there are more than 100 million players. The NPCs that serve as the background and foreshadowing of the world are 5 billion, accounting for more than 98% of the world's population, and belong to the civilian class of this world.
The so-called masses of the people, the so-called vast number of sentient beings, are NPCs like 'Gu Cheng'.
They live a lifetime, and when they live, they simply live, and when they die, they simply die, leaving very few traces in the world. After death, in less than a year, all traces of their existence will disappear without a trace.
For game companies, the only meaning of NPC's existence is to provide players with a sense of superiority.
Sun Ran felt that his vision was a little blurry and he squinted. It turned out that it was because he had a pair of myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose. When he took off his glasses, the world became extremely clear.
He felt his body again. The muscles of the whole body contracted and relaxed in sequence under his command. Following the vibration order of the muscles, mana with a strength of level three in the body appeared from the limbs. With the strength of the whole body, from the soles of the feet and from the tips of the fingers.
When the end of the limbs rises, like flowing water, it gathers towards the Dantian Qi sea three inches below the lower abdomen, and finally absorbs all rivers and forms a burning golden elixir.
This golden elixir avenue is the door to all kinds of magic. Sun Ran made fine adjustments according to the rules and parameters of this world, which is considered an original method of using power.
By using this great road, one becomes as quiet as a leisurely virgin, hiding his traces and restraining his form; his hair is like the thunder of the nine heavens, and ghosts and gods make changes. As the saying goes: 'A golden elixir is swallowed into the belly. My fate is determined by me and not by God!'
After the golden elixir was completed, Sun Ran took a long breath and exhaled all the turbid air in his chest and abdomen.
This is a quasi-technical world, and it is inevitable to be attacked by hot weapons. Sun Ran also blessed himself with the Taoist technique of "Guanhai".
After doing all this, he put the mobile phone in his pocket, then raised his hand and took off his glasses. He threw them into the trash can nearby, causing several people nearby to look at him with crazy eyes. They had never seen myopia before.
Throwing his glasses away, does this guy think he is Spider-Man?
Throwing away his glasses, Sun Ran turned around and walked to the stainless steel guardrail on one side. He used the stainless steel as a mirror and looked at his appearance and appearance.
He has lived for tens of thousands of years and developed a hobby. He likes to appreciate beautiful things, so naturally he will not allow himself to be ugly.
Because he is an NPC, his appearance is very easy to arrange. Except for his complexion, which is slightly sallow due to health problems, the rest is almost exactly the same as his real person, but the rest... is just unsightly.
Not to mention hair, hairstyle, there is no such thing, there is still a trace of oil on the hair, it has not been washed for at least three days, it is the scorching heat of summer, it is really difficult for this guy.
There are a lot of bloodshot eyes and dark circles in the eyes. I must have stayed up late last night. Looking back, I stayed up late not because of work, but because of playing games. I played a tower defense game until three in the morning. This was the next day.
When you have to go to work at eight o'clock.
Regarding this point, Sun Ran, who is a game fanatic himself, said that he could understand it.
Clothes: A white shirt, a bow tie, and a pair of black trousers, looking like an ordinary office worker. It looked very glamorous, but Sun Ran knew that the clothes had not been washed for several days, and the collar was full of sweat stains.
The so-called gold and jade are on the outside, but the lint is on the inside.
He touched his trouser pocket again and took out a wallet. The wallet contained four red tickets and a few loose tickets, totaling 443 yuan and 50 cents.
What's strange is that there are six bank cards in this wallet. Sun Ran knows that in this era, bank cards are used to store currency and are the prototype of the future development of electronic money.
There are actually eight bank cards. Could it be that one bank card was full, and then another one was applied for, making six bank cards in total? This must be a wealthy person, why is he still working as a bus?
Sun Ran was confused.
He browsed the NPC's memory and was shocked to find that these bank cards were purely for decoration. Five of them were discarded, three of which were issued at school, and the other two were salary cards from the previous two places. They were not completely empty.
It was money, but it didn't exceed one hundred, and I couldn't bear to throw it away, and I was embarrassed to take it out, so I just left it.
The remaining one was a salary card, and if I remembered correctly, there was still eight yuan in it, because yesterday, this kid spent all his savings to buy the touch-screen mobile phone with a notched apple printed on it in his pocket.
Sun Ran was very surprised. He took out the mobile phone in his pocket, looked left and right, studied it carefully, and found no reason to buy it.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that this was purely an entertainment phone.
This society does not have perfect welfare. This kid actually spent most of his property to buy such a thing. Isn't he afraid of accidents such as illness?
This kind of consumption concept is difficult for Sun Ran to understand.
And according to this young man’s memory, a large part of the world’s people are like this, and they even have credit cards that allow overdraft for consumption…
To put it all together, Sun Ran came to a conclusion: 'Superpower Earth Game Company instills a unique way of thinking in NPCs, stimulating NPCs' desires through colorful materials, making them willingly pay or even advance their own labor to supply the upper class of the world.
Gamers enjoy it, it's really treacherous!'
After looking at himself, Sun Ran turned his attention to this bus stop.
Because it was working time now, there were a lot of people at the bus station. About eighty people were crowded into the small place, and most of them were having breakfast. It was also the morning rush hour on the road, and the road was almost blocked.
The smell of gasoline from car exhaust, steamed buns from breakfast, and green onions floated in the air. The rancid smell from the trash can due to the hot weather, as well as the smell of men's sweat, and the smell of women's perfume, were all mixed together.
As soon as the sun shines in the morning, it creates a strange, fiery smell unique to the city. Sun Ran has to marvel at the creativity of the supernatural earth. Even the smell is so impressive.
After taking a few glances, Sun Ran was amazed by the intelligent NPC technology of Superpower Earth.
Each of these more than eighty people has his or her own unique expression. Their eyes are very lively and they have their own souls, almost no different from real people.
"I heard that this game world uses the new technology of virtual soul, and every NPC can pass the Turing intelligence test. Now it seems that what I said is true." Sun Ran nodded secretly.
Virtual soul technology. Developed six years ago, it creates a virtual consciousness by simulating the data structure of human consciousness, which is infinitely close to real humans.
Artificial intelligence experts once had a heated debate over this technology. The core question is: 'Is a virtual soul a life? Can life be created by human hands?'
This debate had no result. In the end, it was settled, but the virtual soul technology was retained and put into use. Several years passed without any side effects, and everyone became accustomed to it.
Sun Ran looked at the performance of the NPCs around him and knew that this was actually a life, but it was not an independent life, but a life form controlled by the game brain.
To put it another way, the brain of the game is Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth. All life in this game is a part of her. They don't feel controlled at all, they only think that they are independent.
Sun Ran didn't care what the consequences of this technology would be and where it would eventually go. He was not a philosopher, but an Orderer. He came to do tasks to make money, so there was no need to worry about it.
He began to take a closer look at his surroundings again.
On his right side is a fat middle-aged woman carrying a bag and wearing bright red lipstick. She is an independent data body and an NPC.
On the left hand side, there is a pair of young lovers, hiding in the shade of the station's awning, whispering, laughing slightly from time to time, looking very happy, but they are also NPCs.
The young lover passed by, an old woman with silver hair. The woman was dressed very simply. She was holding a little girl carrying a schoolbag in her hand. The little girl was about seven or eight years old. The schoolbag on her back was very old and had several spots.
The clothes were mended, and the clothes were fat and big school uniforms. The little girl's body was already thin, so the clothes made her look even more baggy.
This little girl made Sun Ran take a second look, because her eyes were clear in black and white, as moist as a pool of black mercury, and extremely lively.
Taking a quick look, he discovered that the girl had a faint data link to the void, and she was actually a player.
"It's really weird. A player turned out to be a child from a poor family. Is this the counterattack rhythm of flying golden phoenixes in a straw nest?" Sun Ran thought.
The little girl was very sensitive. When she noticed that Sun Ran was looking at him, she quietly turned her head and glanced at him timidly. Then she shrank into the old woman's arms and hid. The old woman felt the little girl's movements and habitually
He raised his hand and tidied the little girl's messy hair.
"Like a little rabbit, it also has special powers. Well, it's a solidified zero-level spell with keen perception." Sun Ran smiled.
According to this world view, zero-level cheats are D-level minor powers, which are also common powers. Every player has them. With the blessings arranged by the game company for the players, it is enough for a person to obtain most of the things in the life circle.
NPC achievements.
Looking down like this, a sense of superiority naturally arises, which is the biggest selling point of the game.
He looked at the others again, and all he saw were NPCs.
This is normal. In this world, players are doing well and won't squeeze into the bus if nothing happens.
All in all, the bus stop in the morning was very peaceful, exactly like every other day.
Sun Ran grasped the surrounding situation and once again leaned against the advertising wall, thinking about this order maintenance mission.
Although the main purpose of his trip was to paralyze Buddha Tathagata, he had to do something since he had accepted the mission.
There are very few clues about this order mission. We only know that there is a transvestite who calls himself "Ice Prince" and is hiding in City A.
He is also a player. He has A-level powers, which is equivalent to a third-level plug-in. His power level is the same as Sun Ran's now, and he is a top figure among superpowers. There are 100 million players, and there are no more than 10,000 players with A-level powers.
A probability of one in ten thousand.
The last time he appeared was three months ago, when he used his ice power to freeze another player in Jiangcheng who had the B-level power 'Body Regeneration' into pieces. But where is he now?
What to do? Sun Ran didn’t know anything.
"It seems that we have to go to the apartment where Lan Xin and the others had the accident to check. If the evidence has not been destroyed in three months, we can barely trace back the original situation if we look at it with the eyes of the sky."
With this thought in mind, Sun Ran was not going to go to work, because his job was still in the internship stage, and leaving directly would not attract anyone's attention. This kind of thing happened a lot in Jiangcheng.
He stood up straight and contacted the game administrator: "I need a three-dimensional map of Jiangcheng."
After the map was passed down, Sun Ran had a database in his mind. In it, he could check the streets, alleys, underground waterways, and the internal distribution of each building in Jiangcheng.
Along with what was passed down from the database, there was also an instruction from the game administrator: "Master Taoist, your dimensional order style in the past was too dazzling. We hope that this time, you can keep a low profile and not undermine the superiority of those players. You know
Yes, this thing is the biggest selling point of our game."
"I understand." Sun Ran replied.
"Thank you." The game administrator ran away with a very humble attitude.
The strong are respected, and this is true in any world.
Sun Ran calmed down and quickly found the apartment where Lan Xin and others were kicked from the map. He stood up straight and prepared to investigate.
"The car is coming!" Suddenly someone shouted.
The bus stop suddenly became agitated, and people rushed to the roadside to predict where the bus would stop.
I have no choice but to be nervous. There are too many people. If you don’t rush, you will have to wait for the next class, and those who go to work or school may be late.
Sun Ran saw that the old woman's face was no longer peaceful. She was protecting the little girl with both hands, and she was trying to push forward with a look of worry on her face. But at this time, few people had the humility to give in and respect the elderly.
Pushing her away, her body was completely involuntary. The little girl held the old woman's hand tightly, with a nervous look on her face and beads of sweat on her face.
‘Do a good deed.’ Sun Ran decided not to leave for the time being. He walked up to the old woman, stretched out his hand and lowered his waist to protect the two of them behind him. No matter how others pushed him, he remained motionless.
"Old man, follow me." Sun Ran said.
"Hey, thank you." A smile appeared on the old woman's face, and the wrinkles on her face relaxed. She lowered her head and patted the little girl's shoulder and said, "Little girl, thank you uncle."
"Thank you, uncle." the little girl shouted.
Sun Ran laughed. Seeing how cute the little girl was, he leaned over slightly and prepared to pat the little girl on the head.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a wave of energy, and his body instinctively flashed to the side. Then he heard a "bang" sound, and then a blood hole appeared on the head of the old woman next to him, white and red.
It splashed out and splashed on Sun Ran and the little girl's face.
"Grandma!!!" the little girl screamed miserably. The crowd at the bus station screamed and fled in all directions in panic.
Chaos arose.
Sun Ran was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked along the trajectory towards the shooting position. Not far away, he saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses standing next to an off-road vehicle, holding a pistol in his hand.
There was smoke coming out of his mouth, and the other party was looking at him, ready to shoot again!
"This shot was a manslaughter. It was originally aimed at me." Sun Ran understood.
