When Liu Xing walked into the square, the noisy streets behind him disappeared instantly. Then Liu Xing discovered that the square actually had boundaries, or that the square was actually located within a huge building, and the surroundings were very regular.
White wall tiles.
Of course, Liu Xing did not find any doors or windows after looking around the square.
"What the hell is this place?"
Liu Xing frowned and continued walking forward, and soon came to those bungalows, but he still couldn't see clearly what was written on the hanging banners.
However, compared to the signboard on the street just now, Liu Xing always felt that the words on this banner had an inexplicable intimacy, as if they were written by himself... Wait, it stands to reason that something like this on a banner
Are all the words printed?
Liu Xing looked at the banner in front of him carefully and found that although the text on it was blurry and it was impossible to tell what was written, Liu Xing could tell that the text on it was definitely not printed!
When it comes to printing banners, Liu Xing can be considered a semi-professional, because Liu Xing's clinic occasionally prints some banners and hangs them at the door, and Liu Xing has a classmate who does this at home, so Liu Xing prints banners every time.
They will find this classmate to get a discounted price, and of course the money saved will become Liu Xing’s internet fee.
So Liu Xing knows that the fonts of the printed banners are basically straight and straight, so that printing will be more convenient. And if you want to print those artistic fonts with amplitude on the banner, then you need to use the printing machine.
There are certain requirements, but ordinary print shops will not undertake this type of business because the price/performance ratio is too low.
However, banners made of this kind of material are not suitable for direct handwriting, because most types of pens either cannot write well on them, or they are easy to blur when written, so Liu Xing has never seen anyone write on such a banner.
Handwritten text.
Now I can see it.
Liu Xing can be sure that the text on this banner is handwritten, because the font size of these words is not uniform, and although some words cannot be clearly seen, it can be felt that some of the strokes of these words are not standard... This
The words, or rather why these words look so familiar.
Liu Xing looked at a word on the banner, and after looking at it for a long time, he determined that it was probably the word "Xin"!
The reason why Liu Xing thinks so is because Liu Xing knew a person named Yang Xin in college. He was the captain of another football team, so Liu Xing had dealt with him several times before and had several meals together.
After dinner, Liu Xing remembered that Yang Xin simplified the word "Xin" into a connected stroke in order to make it simpler and faster when signing, that is, he wrote the three golden characters into question marks without dots.
Therefore, the character "Xin" will be written as a lump.
There is no way, after all, if you want to write the character "Xin" carefully, there are too many strokes.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at the character in front and found that the character looked more and more like the character "Yang", so this banner was related to Yang Xin?
Liu Xing suddenly thought of organizing a team championship one year, and the team led by Yang Xin entered the finals, so the cheerleading team specially printed several banners to cheer, and one of them wrote
The name of "Yang Xin".
Could it be that this was the banner at that time? But why was it hung here? And it also appeared in my dream?
Liu Xing felt that although he and Yang Xin were good friends, they were nothing more than that. Because Yang Xin was two levels ahead of him, Liu Xing left school and went to the hospital for an internship a year after he met Yang Xin. From then on, he
Never met again in the real world.
Is this a little strange?
While Liu Xing was looking at the banner, Ao Guanhai and Black Pharaoh in the sky were also staring at Liu Xing.
"Sure enough, Liu Xing was one of the players who participated in the real closed beta test held in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall back then. Otherwise, there would be no memory related to preparing the square in his subconscious."
The Black Pharaoh said with a serious expression: "This preparation square should be the first area created in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, and those bungalows were also created by the first batch of internal beta players, although I don't know why these players
Will these bungalows be built? Is it possible that they still wanted to live in this preparation square for a long time?”
"That's not necessarily true. I remember that in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, all players could stay in the preparation square at any time to prepare for participating in the module, or form a team freely with other players. After all, at that time
It seems that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has not yet graded players, and the modules are divided into easy and difficult difficulties for players to choose from; so there does not seem to be a card-breaking feature in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall at that time.
Mechanism, even if the player has not cleared the module, he will not be able to participate in the module for a few days at most... So I really don’t know why the eldest lady made such a decision? Because it is really too funny."
"Yeah, back then, the difficulty of the Cthulhu Run game lobby was really similar to playing house. Players didn't need to worry about their own lives at all. So by the end, this group of players had mastered a lot of powerful props.
, or according to them, it is an artifact, and its own attributes and skill values are very high, but it still cannot pass the last module... But there is a point, even if we add them all together, and put aside the previous differences.
If we work together, the possibility of finally clearing that module is only 20%." Black Pharaoh said with a depressed look.
"I think it would be good to have 10%. You must know that the last module is related to Yog-Sothoth, and this is the real Yog-Sothoth! Although this is just Yog-Sothoth.
It's just an incarnation of Yog-Sothoth, but in order to track our main body, Yog-Sothoth made this incarnation have about 10% of its strength! That's why the main body created Cthulhu in order to capture this clone of Yog-Sothoth.
I used the group game lobby as a trap; but then again, after the eldest lady fell into a deep sleep, the incarnation of Yog-Sothoth was nowhere to be found, and I don’t know where the eldest lady kept it.”
Ao Guanhai sighed and continued: "To be honest, I am still worried that this incarnation of Yog-Sothoth will suddenly appear to deal with us. By then, we will most likely be defeated one by one.
Because it’s impossible for us to be united as one! So I don’t know if the eldest lady has any backup plans to deal with..."
Before Ao Guanhai finished speaking, he saw a group of strange creatures suddenly appear behind Liu Xing.
"What's happening here?"
Ao Guanhai and Black Pharaoh said in unison.
At this time, Liu Xing heard various strange noises coming from behind, but Liu Xing was not startled by the sudden noise. Instead, he felt very nostalgic.
Then Liu Xing looked back and saw all kinds of strange creatures, because there were more than thirty creatures in front of him, only half of them looked like humans.
The main reason why these half of the creatures look like humans, rather than directly being called humans, is that they look a little strange, like two-dimensional anime characters suddenly appearing in the third dimension.
Yes, these human beings wearing strange clothes and very two-dimensional hairstyles, Liu Xing can recognize them at a glance as characters from a certain animation, but Liu Xing can clearly detect the difference between them and his own paintings.
The wind is different, but it has a very strange feeling.
As for the remaining creatures, they fully prove the diversity of life, such as the big rat that discharges electricity, the bat with a mouth bigger than Liu Xing's head, and the little man with wings.
..Isn’t this a two-dimensional character that came out of some anime?
What's wrong? Could it be that this dream of mine was connected with the anime in my memory, so I realized the characters in these anime? However, there may have been some accidents during the realization process, so I let it happen.
These characters still maintain a certain two-dimensional style of painting? But there are some two-dimensional characters that I don’t know?!
However, Liu Xing soon saw the elf chatting with a piece of paper.
That’s right, it’s just a piece of paper!
But there seems to be something written on this piece of paper. Although Liu Xing still can't see clearly the words on it, from the layout of these words and the different font colors, Liu Xing can roughly determine that what is written on this piece of paper may be
A mind map.
What the hell is a mind map? Is it the class notes I took before?
Then, Liu Xing saw another suture monster - Husky Qi, which is a husky's head and a penguin's body pieced together. It just looked like two words - funny.
This suddenly reminded Liu Xing of an emoticon from ancient times, which was an animated picture of a Husky walking. So could this be the embodiment of that emoticon?
But the question arises again, why does that bunch of grass on the ground have a mouth, and is it chatting with a pencil that also has an open mouth?
What the hell is this?
Liu Xing touched the back of his head and fell into silence.
Looking at these strange creatures chatting happily, Liu Xing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and finally understood the origin of these creatures in front of him.
avatar!
Yes, these creatures are actually the embodiment of avatars! Because Liu Xing remembered the class group he had joined before, most of the classmates' avatars were his favorite anime characters, or some funny avatars like Husband.
Of course, some people are too lazy to create these fancy avatars, so they randomly choose a picture from the photo album on their mobile phone as their avatar. For example, a classmate’s family owns a leather shoe factory, so he used a machine to make his avatar.
In addition, some older teachers simply use the original avatar when the account was created, such as a cloud, a pencil, etc.
So Liu Xing suddenly thought of a VR game, or a large chat room, in which players can choose various models to chat with other people, and the people in front of him have replaced the models with
Just an avatar.
So are these people in front of me all the fake netizens I knew before?
Liu Xing recalled it carefully and found that he did know some netizens who used these avatars.
Is there such an operation?
Liu Xing walked forward with a puzzled look on his face, wanting to hear what they were saying, but Liu Xing soon noticed that these "people" seemed to be unable to see him. Even if he walked in front of them, they would not see him.
Just mind your own business and chat with other people.
As for the content of their chat, it became "Wabi Babu" in Liu Xing's ears. He had no idea what they were talking about, but occasionally he could hear some words and short sentences from their mouths.
yesterday.
express delivery.
"This is so true."
and "The owner of the dog pack finally became a human being for once."
It’s the “dog master” again!
Liu Xing suddenly remembered the module he participated in when using the character card "Tom", and the word "group leader" appeared very suddenly in it.
Do these two "group owners" refer to the same person?
So what does "reality" mean? Does it mean that the square they are in now is a VR chat room?
Liu Xing looked at the white brick walls with no top visible around him and thought that this might really be a VR chat room, and the bungalow in front of him might be a private chat room built by some players?
Liu Xingjian understood all this.
But the Black Pharaoh and Ao Guanhai in the sky were still confused, because they were completely unable to understand what was happening in front of them.
"What are these? I don't remember these mythical creatures? And those creatures that look like humans always give me an unreal feeling, so is this their special ability?" Ao Guanhai was confused.
said.
"And those papers, pencils, etc., are they actually a kind of mythical creature that is good at disguise? They are specially transformed into common things for humans to confuse people's hearing and hearing? So why did Liu Xing remember these things subconsciously? If I didn't remember
If I'm wrong, there are records of the mythical creatures that appeared in the closed beta at that time. We can now retrieve these records at any time to create the same mythical creatures... But in my impression, there really are no such mythical creatures." Black Pharaoh closed
Said with eyes closed.
"Alas, we can't run over now to study what these mythical creatures are talking about, because our appearance may scare Liu Xinghui awake directly, so we'd better wait and see what happens."
As soon as Ao Guanhai finished speaking, Liu Xing heard something.
“When does the next module start?”
Mod?
Liu Xing frowned and began to wonder if he was thinking about things day by day and dreaming about things at night, so now he began to dream about participating in the module?
A bit strange, but not incomprehensible.
At this moment, a cloud suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing's eyes.
