August 25, Sunday, a “quiet” week seems to be coming to an end.
When he got up in the morning, Long Qi was still a little unbelievable. You know, last night, he even took turns with Fries and a few others to sleep on duty, but everything seemed calm, so quiet that he almost thought he was
Dreaming...
Damn, dreaming is really not a good word now!
After briefly freshening up, Long Qi went out and greeted Major Liu Fengming, who had been standing in the yard for an unknown amount of time:
"How about it?"
Liu Fengming shook his head: "Everything is normal."
In turn, Liu Fengming asked Long Qi: "Isn't there a 'power outage'?"
"It seems... not." Long Qi looked unsure.
Long Qi has been frightened since the night before yesterday. Even if he was sure that nothing happened all night, he still couldn't help but open the message interface that had been set up. After he went to bed, he saw that several large communities that paid special attention to the dream game were all
What a reflection.
The female demiplane of the Demonic Eye is still immersed in the excitement brought about by Miss Riven's shocking live broadcast yesterday, and it is difficult to extricate itself. The "Dream Game" that has been hot during this period is not so conspicuous, and it is not so conspicuous.
Long Qi's focus doesn't quite match.
But yesterday he redid Feng Fu and supervised the live broadcast for Ruiwen. After all, he was also a relevant person, so he couldn't help but flip through two pages before jumping to the internal forum of the General Association of Abilities.
This time it clicked.
Although there is still the words "Miss Two Thousandths" on the page, the matching ones are basically the following:
"Is this live broadcast hiding something?"
"Where did Luo Shen go?"
"Everything is normal at the moment. The first two times may have been accidents."
"Twice can't be called an accident!"
Yes, there were two "power outages" in a row. It's hard to believe that it was an accident.
Long Qi sighed while carefully scanning through several new posts that appeared after he went to bed.
OK, at least nothing happened last night, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Fengming was surprised: "Did you fall asleep last night?"
"What else can I do if I don't sleep?"
"I thought you would be waiting in the dream game."
"The speed difference is 7 times per hour. Are you trying to kill me?"
Long Qi, who was in a slightly better mood, breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to joke around: "As for these guys at the Lakeside Hotel, it doesn't matter if you have two days off on weekends, believe it or not? As long as there is no 'power outage', they will definitely still be there.
Keep struggling until there is another 'power outage'."
Liu Fengming smiled and did not answer.
It’s really hard for people to respond, after all, there are no amulets or anything like that.
Just now...
Is "Amulet" okay?
Long Qi had a headache, so he stopped discussing the topic: "It's still early, go and have a rest. At least you can squint for a while."
Liu Fengming shook his head: "That's about it. Tiger basically goes out at this time. Just now, Chief Priest Li and the others went out for morning exercises."
"It's not a morning exercise. You forgot, they took leave yesterday, saying that there was a meeting of the officiating group to be held today, so whoever the tiger caught today is unlucky..."
Before he finished speaking, his bracelet vibrated, and the caller was Tiger:
"You follow me."
"why me?"
The "unlucky ghost" Long Qi arrived in front of the tiger's private courtyard in a daze. He knew that there was no point in shouting, but when facing the tiger's bloodshot copper bell eyes, he subconsciously cried out in pain:
"You have forgotten that I was the one taking the camera for Ms. Ruiwen's live broadcast yesterday. What if there is a conflict if we come back today?"
"I followed him into the mirror."
Tiger answered fluently, with simple and irrefutable logic. Long Qiyi was speechless for a moment.
But when he saw the tiger's sleepy and extremely gloomy eyes that seemed to have stayed up all night... no, at least he had stayed up for several days and nights, he was still frightened in his heart, and with the last glimmer of hope, he gave a suggestion:
"How about... Tiger Tiger, you can invite a few more people, such as Mo La and Xingjun, to have a discussion head. My knowledge is still far behind."
"No need! As for you, the driver, please don't make things worse for yourself."
Tiger King said something coldly and blocked Long Qi back. Without giving him a chance to defend himself, he walked out with his hands behind his back.
Long Qi had a splitting headache, but he no longer had the courage to fight.
He moved out from Tiger's private courtyard. There was already a small shuttle specially prepared by the hotel waiting outside.
Even if he consciously climbed into the driving seat in front of him, Long Qi was still looking forward to seeing some extraordinary brother or sister come out to save his life.
But those human beings probably smelled the gloomy and violent aura emanating from the tiger, and they all hid far away, completely missing the grand occasion that in the past few days, someone could step on the toes of extraordinary beings if they were not careful.
Despite Long Qi's reluctance, the shuttle still headed in the direction of the three spires.
This situation was like going back to the beginning of the month, when he and Tiger crossed the Golden Triangle and rushed to Lake City.
At that time, although the air pressure around the tiger was quite negative, he still maintained the dignity of an extraordinary being, unlike this week...
In fact, it was mainly due to the stimulation caused by two "power outages" the night before and yesterday.
As for why "power outage" is so troublesome - because "power outage" is now an exclusive term, specifically referring to the situation where Dreamland games covering the world suddenly stopped operating and all went offline starting on the evening of the 23rd.
Since the Dreamland game was launched in mid-August, it has been operating 24 hours a day for two weeks. There has never been such a situation.
At first everyone thought it was a system update...
Okay, this is bullshit.
That night, Long Qi initially thought that it was the extraordinary beings like Mo La and Constance who were tossing around in the dream game, tinkering with some extreme tests, and finally crashed the dream game.
But the appearance of the several extraordinary species in front of them all looked innocent, and they all looked surprised and confused.
Everyone was confused for a while, but nothing was gained. Ronan couldn't be contacted, which was very strange.
However, after an hour or so, just when some people couldn't help but "think about it" and even wanted to do something, the dream game restarted.
online.
After the restart, there were no system announcements or anything like that, and there were no changes inside or outside, leaving everyone full of thoughts.
At that time, Long Qi and others were secretly chatting and thinking behind the scenes, and even suspected that someone had deliberately buried the ditch and lowered the net, hoping to take the opportunity to catch a few big fish to frighten him for a while.
But as the dream game resumed operation, everyone pretended that nothing happened, and indeed nothing happened...
Guesses are just guesses.
However, after less than fifteen hours of running, the Dreamland game stopped and went offline again.
Now, everyone can’t help but think more about it.
Especially then, Ruiwen, who had not been seen for many days, suddenly appeared in Lake City, grabbing Long Qi, who was working as a horse for several extraordinary species at the time, and actively asked for a resumption of the broadcast - even if it was just casually around Baifeng-Jun.
Walking around makes people feel even more terrified.
Is this a move to stabilize people's hearts, or do you feel that the hook was too straight last time and you need to bend it a little more this time and add a little more bait?
But the situation is obviously very good, is it necessary to play this trick?
Long Qi was still thinking wildly, but the three spires had already arrived.
Ever since he got on the shuttle, he and the tiger had not exchanged a word during the entire journey.
Long Qi was very conscious. As soon as the shuttle stopped, he packed up his equipment and prepared to enter Cave No. 2 with Tiger to continue the so-called exploration test.
Anyway, Li Taisheng made the sample in front of me, so just follow it.
But I didn’t expect the tiger to say coldly:
"You wait outside."
Long Qi was surprised: "Just wait?"
You came all the way here and were asked to guard the door outside...but there's nothing to guard?
But the tiger has said so, what can he do?
Perhaps Tiger, Li Taisheng, and even the Justice Order behind them have any special arrangements in the buffer zone of Cave No. 2 that are not convenient for him to see?
At this time, it is better to keep your distance.
Long Qi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting here. If you have any requests, just tell me. It'll be no problem to buy a few bottles of drinks or something."
The last sentence is just plain stupid.
It must have been infected by hanging around with Yuan Wuwei for a long time during this period.
Fortunately, the tiger only glanced at him and slid down the cliff without dodge. He braved the violent eruption of high-energy body fluids and entered the No. 2 cave. He really left Long Qi alone in this narrow place.
above the sky ridge.
Yes, I'm really waiting here!
Long Qi shook his head and looked around, realizing that it was still early.
In the past few days, there has never been a lack of popularity around Cave No. 2, especially after Deng Yunwei and Deng Chun's incident. The huge airship is still trapped inside, and all kinds of personnel and equipment are coming and going all the time, all trying to recover from it.
What secrets were unearthed?
But at this time of day, the sky is deserted.
First of all, it was too early to come, and it was the weekend. It was four or five o'clock in the morning. There was really no need to rush to work.
Secondly, I'm afraid the Dream Game has frequent "power outages".
As a result, the air in Lake City is a bit delicate.
There is so much traffic on the Sky Ridge during this period that a path has been cleared out of the overgrown weeds, and there are also some temporary tents used to store equipment. Of course, no matter how troublesome the equipment is, you still have to follow it.
We need to go down the mountain together, otherwise Baifengjun suddenly goes crazy in the middle of the night, but what should we do!
Further away, there is a towering wind impeller, which looks a little like him alone... holy shit?
Long Qi suddenly woke up: Damn, this is the top of Lord Baifeng’s head!
In the past, extraordinary species were followed when they came and went...well, they were followed by extraordinary species. Of course, they could come and go freely, so there was no need to worry too much.
But now he is the only one left, all alone here, isn't he just waiting for food to be delivered?
He must have lost his mind to agree to the tiger guarding him here!
At this time, strong winds had risen on the top of the mountain, blowing up and down the ridge, making countless grass, leaves and tree shadows, as well as the "roots" that moved dozens and hundreds of meters, whining.
Who knows if the wind blows or the wind blows?
Immediately Long Qi gave himself a small slap, jumped onto the shuttle without saying a word, closed the hatch, and restarted the shuttle.
He first flew to a high altitude where those long roots could not easily hit him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
After several weeks of circling at an altitude of 1,000 meters above the three spires, there is still enough fuel and so on, so don't worry, it's just getting boring.
Long Qi considered whether to go to the Changwei River supply station for a cup of coffee, or to invite Frith, Zhao Xi and Yuan Wuwei to come over and keep him company. But in the end, he didn't choose either, and just opened the information interface again.
, rubbing your chin and studying the reactions of various communities to the "blackout."
He finally settled on the internal forum of the General Association of Able Persons - after all, it is the most popular "professional" forum in the world.
This Monday, the 19th, Ronan visited in person and did science popularization and Q&A here, which effectively mobilized the discussion enthusiasm and courage in the forum circle about some sensitive topics such as dream games and living gods.
In fact, after two consecutive power outages on the night of the 23rd and yesterday at noon, someone has boldly left a message directly on the forum, hoping that "Luo Shen" can come out and give everyone a brief explanation:
What is the situation in the dream game, and what went wrong?
But this time, Ronan has not come forward, at least so far, there has been no response. This is in sharp contrast to the situation on Monday when almost all questions were answered.
Long Qi frowned. It was the same as before. The forum was full of related discussions, but there was not much valuable information or conjecture.
The "limit theory" of a certain person's ability and the "fishing theory" of conspiracy design still dominate the mainstream.
Of course, there are also people who jump back and forth in dream games and forums, sharing the dynamics there in real time. However, because the pictures are difficult to intercept and transfer, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
According to Long Qi’s observation, whether in the ethereal world or the secular world, there are huge complaints about the lack of “screenshot” and “video recording” functions in dream games. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are “full of complaints”.
So much so that when the first "power outage" occurred, many people swore that "God Luo must be observing public opinion and adding relevant functions" and so on...
Then he was slapped in the face.
The excited expectations collided with the cold reality, and the fall was indeed more painful.
Long Qi couldn't help but suspect that if such a blunt "power outage" incident happened one or two more times, Ronan would probably lose a lot of the positive "public opinion" he had accumulated in the internal forum.
Well, it's not his turn to worry about that.
Long Qi continued to read through the posts.
Suddenly, the forum interface stopped sliding. Long Qi blinked and unexpectedly saw his mugshot in a certain area - it was actually a screenshot of yesterday's live broadcast.
Of course, he is just a supporting role.
The protagonist of the screenshot is undoubtedly Ruiwen.
The title assigned by the poster is also:
"My brother disappeared and my sister appeared. So is this god a duty god?"
A highly liked reply was pushed below the main post:
A meritorious service on duty.
Then came the courageous reply:
"So is the meritor you are talking about male or female?"
"Obviously a woman."
"During the live broadcast yesterday, why didn't anyone ask the female meritorious officer: Where is her brother?"
"Ask, the man named Long Qi obviously asked, and he also answered."
Did I ask?
Long Qi suddenly forgot: What did Ruiwen say yesterday?
Fortunately, after a little recall, he remembered:
