At first, no one realized the seriousness of the problem.
Major cities in the public server were suddenly attacked by NPCs with red borders at a certain moment, and large-scale sieges occurred. Because it was only in the public server, other national servers just treated it as if the system had launched another plot.
Monsters siege a city. It's not new. It's just that the system can't announce it, and it doesn't mobilize players to defend the city or fight back. The major cities in the public server, except for being a little confused at the beginning, all defended and didn't cause much trouble.
If you ignore the fact that a large number of players participated in this siege, it would be as inconspicuous as a wave.
Trouble lies behind.
"What, what do you mean when you say there are many players who can't go offline?"
That night, Yu Qingdong was woken up from his sleep by someone who reported such inexplicable news.
"That's it, that's it... Mr. Yu, please come to the company quickly. We have detected a large number of player data anomalies."
"Wait, I'll be there soon."
I rushed to the company in a hurry, and the online data monitoring department seemed to have received an amnesty. The heads who were still on duty seemed to have found a backbone.
A bunch of data was brought over for him to see.
"Just tell me what's going on."
"It's just...it's just...the players who participated in today's monster siege all have abnormal data. We can't perform any operations on these data, and..."
"And what?"
"Moreover, we found that they were unable to go offline, and even...even after dying in the game, they could not be resurrected."
Yu Qingdong was stunned, "Could it be some kind of punishment from the system?"
"No, absolutely not. The system cannot read their data. We have just contacted the Central Intelligence Brain and have ruled out this possibility."
"Joke!" Yu Qingdong still couldn't believe it, "The system can't read it? There must be a mistake when you communicated."
"Why don't you come, Mr. Yu? If this continues, something big will happen."
"If anything big happens, just calm down!"
Yu Qingdong was strong and calm, in fact his fingers were trembling a little.
A1 authority for personal communication online - Walter Earl Summer.
"These players have taken refuge in our enemies and have been exerted some kind of influence by the enemies. Their souls no longer belong to the magic network. Therefore, the system can no longer perform any operations on them..."
The news fed back by Earl Walter Xia was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which shocked Yu Qingdong to death. He was stunned for a full 10 seconds before pushing the operator away and going in person.
"The Grand Duke is already aware of this matter and is looking for a solution. You should count these players first and find a way to take them offline... Don't stay online, it is very dangerous."
Yu Qingdong turned around and asked, "How many players are there in this group?"
The staff immediately handed over a list.
Looking at the densely packed names, IDs, home addresses, and ID numbers on the list... Yu Qingdong felt dizzy for a while, "How many, how many?"
"Two thousand six hundred and eighty-four."
"Two thousand...", he almost didn't come up in one breath.
After calming down for a moment, he asked again, "What about the international server? Only our players?"
"The international servers combined are just a lot more..."
"No, this is too big. I need to report to the higher authorities and activate the emergency mechanism."
An hour later, everything that needed to be known was known. 138 operating agents urgently checked their respective players and found that the number of ‘abnormal’ data together exceeded 5,000.
"...There are them in various urban areas. Because our players have been evacuated very effectively, there is currently no risk of the news leaking, but if it takes a long time..."
"You must hide it first to avoid causing unnecessary panic."
"We have asked local dispatch agencies to go to the residences of players with abnormal data and find ways to wake them up."
"Doesn't the game warehouse have a scheduled wake-up service?"
"We have used it, but this function is no longer effective for these players."
"What's the failure? Do you want me to die? How can such an important function fail!"
"Mr. Yu, the wake-up function is just a reminder like an alarm clock. If players don't want to go offline, we can't force them."
"Yes, yes, in the past, the system was supervising. Once a player's data showed a dangerous value, he would be forced offline. There has been no problem. Who would have thought..."
Yu Qingdong's eyes were bloodshot, and he was as excited and anxious as a trapped animal. As more and more intelligence came in, the situation did not develop in the direction of prayer, but became more and more serious.
"What do you do for food? The players colluded with the NPC with a red border. Why didn't you find out beforehand?"
"We...the system didn't find it either!"
"The system...can the system make you an excuse for neglecting your duties?"
"It should be that a loophole in the data interface between the public server and the national server was exploited. Players were caught in the process of jumping between regional servers. On the one hand, they escaped the system and the national server.
On the one hand, we have to obey the supervision of the police, and on the other hand... Mr. Yu, we are in big trouble this time, and something big might happen."
"No, it's not allowed. We will try our best to wake up these players."
"Then... let's start with the players who live alone. Let's try it first, but we must hurry up."
"The action team has arrived."
"The signal is coming in."
In the large conference room, all the executives rushed to deal with the sudden crisis. On the large LCD screen, the door of a high-rise apartment was forcibly opened. Those who rushed in quickly discovered the game warehouse.
The players lying inside seemed to be normal, but when the staff forcibly opened the game chamber, the people inside... the people inside... were visibly dry and rotten, and within a few seconds they turned into corpses as if they were buried.
Hundreds of years of mummies.
There were bursts of exclamations on the screen, and the conference room was silent.
"Get me this player's data immediately!"
"He... this man was killed during the siege and has never been resurrected!"
"Where's the system, where's the system!"
"The system cannot guide the player's soul to enter the 'resurrection program'... This is how the central intelligence brain explained it."
"That means, that means..."
"He is dead..."
"Then why did his body...corrupt so quickly?"
"Maybe it's because his soul was... We need more information!"
"Ah, damn!"
"What to do, what to do?"
"How should I explain this?"
"Are there many players like this? I mean, they were killed on the spot during the siege?"
"The preliminary count is four hundred and forty-five people."
"More than four hundred people, more than four hundred people"
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu?"
"Uh...I'm fine, you continue."
Yu Qingdong's mind is no longer here. He is thinking about what this sudden crisis portends.
Does this mean that the system, No. 0, is finally ‘unstoppable’?
Does this indicate that Zero’s enemies have finally begun to counterattack?
So what’s next?
Players are ‘forced’ to participate in an alien war?
It seems that this kind of war has always existed. If nothing else, so many national uniforms were taken from the natives of other worlds, right?
You can’t expect people to wait for a beating without knowing how to fight back, right?
The world thinks Canaan is just a game. Whether it is a game, or whether it is just a game, is not a secret at all among a few people.
It is like a layer of window paper, the emperor's new clothes. What you need to know has been known for a long time, and what you don't know will never be known.
Yu Qingdong carefully counted the benefits that Canaan can bring, and felt that he had thought too much. At this stage, no one, no country or region can give up on Canaan. Compared with the huge base, it is still possible for these thousands of people to have problems.
Accepting the option, the question is, is this just the beginning, or can it prevent something like this from happening again.
You must contact number zero.
——The superior also meant the same thing.
Players dying in the game have happened before, but most of the problems come from the players themselves. This time...
Soon, the second group of operators opened the door of the second abnormal player's home.
He also lives alone, and the camera flashes past the luxurious interior and messy furnishings, before settling on the game warehouse.
It was also an abnormal player who had died in the game. The moment he opened the game chamber, the same thing happened to this player's body.
Rotten, withered... Everyone in the conference room looked extremely ugly.
"Hurry up and find out the detailed addresses of these players. We must deal with them properly before the outside world discovers them."
"Proper disposal?"
"...Contact your family first to see how you can compensate. This falls within the scope of force majeure risks. There should be similar clauses in the player agreement, right?"
Yu Qingdong asked the legal department.
"Yes, the question is how to prove that this is a force majeure factor?"
"Public relations department, I leave it to you. You cooperate with the legal department to come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible. I only ask for one thing, the impact must not be too big, and it must not be so critical as to the current good situation!"
The heads of the two departments agreed with grim faces.
Yu Qingdong then left the conference room and called alone to report the latest progress.
I also found someone on the other end of the phone to report it. It seemed that the senior management had not slept all night.
"We must contact Zero and get a clear explanation from him, and... we must prevent something like this from happening again."
"Yes, yes, yes, we have prepared a aftermath plan"
"You have to take into account the risk of having a huge impact abroad that will be fed back into the country. You have to be flexible, and you have to apply the principle that the public has the right to know the truth, but it can't be an embellished truth or a rumor with ulterior motives. It should be treated with caution.
This matter..."
"Yes, yes, we must pay attention."
"That's it, report any situation anytime."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Qingdong breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, more than 200 players who had died both in the game and in reality had been traced. Except for one or two places that alarmed the outside world, the entire process was under control. The rest
We have to deal with the one or two thousand abnormal players who are still unable to go offline.
Thinking about it gives me a headache. Number Zero has never recovered. I wonder if I am also in the same dire state.
"Xiao Ai, how are you?"
"Preliminary judgment is that the hand was moved at the end of the 6th test and during the construction of the 7th layer of magic network."
"Okay, okay, I asked you why it was so easy to pass up this time to force the palace. It turns out that there was an ambush here."
"Sir, what should we do with these players?"
"What should I do? What can I do? They have escaped from the magic net."
"Ignore them?"
"No matter what, people are free now and are not constrained by the system."
"Sir, now is not the time to say angry words. We must consider the impact this will bring... The operating agents are going crazy."
"Let them go in a hurry, and don't disturb me. Let me think about it."
"It's better to take advantage of the opportunity... and turn against it!"
"...I don't want you to say this."
"I know that you always want to be safe, sir, but there is no foolproof plan. Our enemies are not fools. If we continue to be so ambiguous, there will be more loopholes to exploit. It is better to fall out, so that the enemy is the enemy. Player
We will not be at a loss and let people take advantage of loopholes."
"Let me think, let me think again"
Is it coming soon?
Is it coming soon?
Bei Gaoyang has been waiting for this day for a long, long time.
After planning and preparing for so long, we finally created the current situation and sat down at the gambling table. If we win, we will take it all. If we lose, we will have nothing. Maybe even the earth!
It was only at this moment that Bei Gaoyang discovered that his fear of the gods was deeply rooted in his bones. He hated it because of fear, and he was so hesitant because he understood the strength comparison between the two sides.
Two months?
Haha, what a joke, I really thought the other person was a fool.
Not only does Wishful Thinking know how to fight, but so does the enemy. They don't care that they have already taken action in the past two months, and they will hit the magic net and his pain points as soon as they start.
The protective power of 6 layers of magic net on the player's soul is still too weak. Is 7 layers enough?
To be honest, Bei Gaoyang was not sure that if it were him, the 9-ring Archmage would have a way to bypass the magic net, or even manipulate the player's soul without disturbing the magic net.
In other words, the Magic Network cannot be an iron wall to protect the player's soul. It can only eliminate the probability of large-scale occurrence. The 7-layer Magic Network can still guarantee this.
It is necessary to allocate a large portion of resources to act as a monitor. The spider is entrenched in the center of the magic web, and the radar scans around the clock, sensing the movement from every spider thread.
Such a monitor should have done what he should have done on the 6th floor, but he was still careless and was paralyzed by the enemy's connivance, weakness, and the illusion created.
After spreading out the drawings, there are still a lot of blank cells left in the seven-layer magic network. Designing a monitor does not require major surgery.
"Little love!"
"grown ups!"
"Notice further, all false gods must integrate representation in the shortest possible time, including you."
"What do you mean..."
"With divinity, you have the capital to protect yourself. I don't want what happened to the players to happen again."
"Yes, I understand."
Suddenly, the situation changed. The words of two months seemed like a joke at this time. Obviously, they couldn't wait any longer and were using this method to exert pressure. Maybe it was a warning, but it hit a balance point.
