Chapter 400 399. These little geniuses who specialize in seeking death are just different - [monthly ticket plus 610 more]
Although Xiao Ashina is still very idle today, she did not go to the Smuggler's Grove to play with the little Jackal as usual, nor did she take the new players to clear the dungeon. She sneaked and eagerly came from Tris's alchemy hut.
He took the things he had ordered a few days ago and, like a thief, sneaked to the outskirts of the Scarlet Castle, which was undergoing "big construction".
She didn't even stay at the Silver Moon Pride Regiment's stronghold in the camp outside the city, but continued to flap her wings and fly in the afternoon sunshine. She flew to a very far place, just behind the previous survivors.
The camp was in the woods outside the current Cadman People's Army barracks.
Khakitoni Taihe Muji Luda Oil was attacked by witch hunters here, Brother Mew Meow's job transfer ceremony was also completed here, and the agreement between Murphy and Old Finnock was also reached here.
Although this small forest is inconspicuous, it can be said that it occupies a very important position in the "new history" of Transia and the players. However, after the witch hunters also became a part of Transia, this forest
It became completely quiet.
At this time, deep in the forest, I saw little Ashina flapping her wings and flying over. The new member of the Silver Moon Group, Meng Haha, who had been waiting here for a long time, finally showed a smile.
She waved to Xiao Ashina like an underground gang member, and the latter approached her and handed her the tool in his hand.
Seeing Meng Haha stretching her body and taking out her own calculation orb, Xiao Ashina, who has always been fearless, showed a rare hesitation and nervousness.
She whispered:
"Do you really want to dismantle it? Aren't you afraid that this thing will explode? I heard that the method of making the orb of calculation is a secret even among the halflings. Maybe those smart little dwarfs put something weird in it.
."
"Wouldn't it be nice if you stayed away?"
Menghaha, who put on a pair of alchemist gloves, waved his hands indifferently and said:
"I have studied this little thing. Although it is true that a bomb was placed inside, it is so large that it has to house those complex psychic devices, leaving too little space for the bomb.
At most, it can only destroy the instrument itself, without affecting the dismantler.
And even if it does explode, it will only hurt me, but the best thing is that it only takes three days for me to be resurrected. This mechanism is really great! I can finally try many things here that I usually dare not do.
To be honest, I am still curious now. You have been using this thing for almost three months. Has no one thought of taking it apart to see the structure inside? "
She tied up her hair, showing a very capable look that was completely different from her usual slow manner, and said doubtfully:
"Logically speaking, players' curiosity and mobility shouldn't be this bad."
"Someone thought of taking it apart. Ah Yu and Che Che from the student party almost did it, but as soon as they found the tools, they were warned by the Calculation Orb."
Xiao Weiming was suspended next to her, watching Meng Haha fix the orb on the tree stump and pick up a tweezers-like psychic probe. She answered honestly:
"This thing has a protective mechanism that won't allow others to take it apart casually."
"It's just a warning. It can't jump up and hit me, let alone break my head."
Mengha scoffed at this.
The young physicist touched the bridge of her nose and said:
"If we didn't dare to continue just because we got a verbal warning, then the human race would have been extinct long ago. Curiosity and the desire to explore are the necessary conditions for us to build civilization."
"Well, I feel like you were driving. But I have no proof."
Xiao Weiming complained:
"As promised in advance, I just helped you get the tools. I am not responsible for anything that happens after that. And if your calculation orb is damaged by you, you will have to pay for the replacement."
"Okay, okay, I know the risks. Now be quiet, little cutie, and stay away from me. Just watch me."
Mengha waved his hand, signaling Xiao Ashina to stay further away.
She is not afraid that this thing will kill herself in an accident.
As she said, the necessary desire to explore (the desire to die) is the basic characteristic of being a researcher, but there is no need to involve other people in doing experiments.
She took a deep breath and brought the tweezers-like psychic probe close to the computing orb in front of her.
Seeing the tiny arcs of electricity bursting out in front of his eyes due to the psychic conflict caused by the two things approaching, the desire to explore in Menghaha's eyes became even stronger.
She has been very curious about this computing orb since she entered the game. She is eager to know how this thing works. As a practitioner, she cannot bear to have to follow the player interface and settings set by the "development team".
The task system does things step by step.
She does not allow herself to wander around blindfolded in a world that interests her. She prefers to explore areas that no one has been to or even pay attention to.
for example
Uncover the "truth" that has always been hidden in this world.
"Snapped"
When the psychic probe came into contact with the main crystal of the calculation orb, a strong vibration made Menghaha's wrist hurt, and a dazzling prompt also popped up on the orb interface in front of her:
[Warning! The user is performing a high-risk disassembly operation! Please stop all actions immediately and wait for the self-test of the computing orb! Warning! If the user does not have considerable knowledge of steam engineering, please do not disassemble the computing orb!
warn!
The self-destruction process has been started!】
Facing the warning, Menghaha chose to continue without any expression.
Her hands are very steady.
Using both hands, two psychic tweezers were inserted into the joint between the gray orb panel and the hemispherical crystal very precisely. There was almost no space for manipulation, but it did leave tiny holes for manipulation.
The self-destruction countdown on the player interface has entered 20, and Xiao Ashina next to him covered his eyes and did not dare to look any further.
But Mengha's eyes narrowed.
Her fingers moved quickly, letting the two probes follow the connection between the crystal and soon she found the buckle connecting the crystal to the panel.
"The classic mechanical wedge structure is really the least creative and most stable combination method."
She complained in a low voice, then gritted her teeth and pushed the buckles in different directions with both hands, and then pulled hard outwards. With a click, the entire crystal jumped out of the gray panel, and Mengha's quick eyes and quick hands pulled it out.
Hold it in your hand.
The self-destruction process that counted down to 7 was terminated when strong psychic interference appeared on the interface. Not only that, but the entire orb was also brought to a halt due to this precise "violent disassembly".
Without the assistance of the Calculation Orb, Mengha's character interface disappeared immediately, allowing her to re-enter the "original" state that only the first batch of 16 players had experienced.
She now has to use her own feelings to confirm her level, skills and map location, as if the game has returned to its cleanest state after removing all plug-ins.
"Is this what it feels like? It's really no different from reality,"
Mengha reached out and touched the bridge of her nose. She looked at the dimmed crystal in her hand and said:
"The existence of this thing is nominally an auxiliary, but in fact it is just a cunning disguised design to increase the 'game feel' and 'immersion'. They set a 'boundary' for the player out of thin air, but the destructive nature of the evil spirit inside
The warning itself is the biggest failure.
Without it, I am closer to the true state of 'travelling'.
My judgment is absolutely correct!
Someone made up an entire game based on a real world!
Ah, what a cunning strategy."
"what are you talking about?"
Xiao Ashina hid far away. After realizing that Moeha had taken apart the calculation orb and that it had not exploded, she felt relieved and flew over to Moeha and asked:
"So, what can you find out if you dismantle this thing?"
"Of course we can't study it. This dismantling is all part of today's test."
Mengha seriously threw away the irregular-shaped crystal in her hand, and then took the gray panel, whose internal structure was not complicated but filled with a sense of simplicity, to examine it carefully. She said:
"I have only been here for less than a week, and even the testing and observation of physical rules are still in the early stages. How can I have the time and energy to learn about psychic energy and steam engineering? I only took it apart to confirm certain things.
And confirm how this thing works.
But at present, it seems that it is not a purely mechanical operation.
All the mysteries are encapsulated in this unique crystal. If you can't control spiritual energy, you will never be able to decipher the secrets."
Mengha was not disappointed, she just held the dimmed crystal in her hand and looked at it carefully. Through the dusk light entering the dim crystal, she could barely detect that there were some indescribable black spots in it.
It's like "impurities" in jade.
But she was certain that it was these "spots" in the stone that made this piece of crystal decay and become magical.
Unfortunately, this is a secret that only psionicists know.
"Walk!"
Mengha was satisfied and threw the calculation orb that she had taken apart into her psychic bag. She put away the tools that Ashina ordered with a lot of money, waved to her "little friend" and said:
"Go to the Adventurer's Guild and buy me a new one. Don't worry, I'll pay for it."
"Shua"
Just when the two were about to leave, a scarlet door suddenly opened in front of them, leaving Xiao Ashina and Meng Haha stunned on the spot. Then they saw Mr. Murphy and Miss Femis walking out of it with calm faces.
"is it here?"
Murphy turned around and asked. Femis's blood pupils dotted with blood-colored light spots stared at Mengha in front of her, and she confirmed:
"Yes, it's right here. The computing orb code-named 641 has just been artificially destroyed. Before it shut down, it sent coordinates to the superior node I hold. Its remains are on this lady's body."
Without the translation of the Calculation Orb, Menghaha could no longer understand the conversation between Mr. Murphy and the eldest lady.
But Xiaowei Ming understood.
Xiao Chaozi was so frightened by the conversation between the two main NPCs that she hurriedly explained:
"It's not our fault, it's just that the orb was dropped."
"Are you sure you want to deceive me? My warrior, for the sake of our current very good personal relationship, I beg you not to do this.
Back off!
This matter has nothing to do with you."
Murphy glanced at Xiao Ashina.
The unique light in his eyes made Xiao Ashina bite her lip and finally stopped explaining. It allowed Master Murphy to take the initiative to appear here to prove that Menghaha's behavior just now may have violated some "taboos".
However, she did not retreat, and she was very loyal and did not leave Mengha alone in this dangerous situation.
Murphy shook his head and glanced at Femis. The eldest lady immediately cast a spell and forced Ashina and herself to teleport back to the Blood Vulture Corridor amidst Xiao Ashina's screams.
So only Murphy and Menghaha were left in the forest.
Physicists sensed something was seriously wrong.
She realizes that her search for the "truth" may have been too hasty.
If you think about it carefully, if the computing orb is a "limiter" used by "aliens" to deceive the players, then what you just did is equivalent to suddenly opening your eyes in a room of sleeping people.
"We are not the aliens you think we are"
Just as Mengha was thinking, Murphy suddenly spoke.
The Mandarin spoken in a smooth and even spoken Mandarin with a slight accent frightened Mengha so much that he took a few steps back and tremblingly raised his hands and crossed them in front of him.
She felt that she really encountered a "supernatural event" this time.
The greater possibility is that this "Third Kind of Contact" broke into the conversation without any precautions. As a physicist, she knows the dangers better than anyone else.
"You. What on earth are you?"
She suppressed the fear in her heart and asked.
Murphy acted like a "puppet on strings" at this time, as if there was another mysterious consciousness hidden under the handsome body of the vampire, making the main NPC's movements look very stiff, revealing a sense of disharmony.
The mysterious "it" said to the frightened Mengha through Murphy's eyes:
"We are observers. It is our duty to observe, collect and record information. We will not intervene in your world, but we know that you will not let down your guard just because of this promise. Therefore, you can continue to test and dig. We
This process will not be terminated.
But what you just did was inappropriate, Ms. Lin who is currently living in the Bund!"
"!!!"
Being told her real address and surname by "Murphy" made Mengha even more frightened. Then she heard "Murphy" say to her:
"This is not a threat that you have identified in your mind at this time. What I am doing today is just to explain to you a bottom line! I hope that you and your friends can abide by this bottom line while exploring the so-called 'truth' that you are interested in!"
That is, all your exploration behaviors cannot be at the expense of destroying the ‘game experience’ of others.
To put it simply, you can commit suicide yourself, but you can't involve other people who don't know the inside story.
You are free to dismantle our 'hiding device', but if others follow your example and cause new waves in the current situation in Transia, then we will blame you!
However, other than that, you will have no inhibitions here, and we will not have too many emotions about your unique 'specimen'.
This is the first warning!
Ms. Lin, there will never be a second time."
After speaking, Murphy's body began to tremble, which seemed to indicate that the mysterious consciousness was "withdrawing". Mengha realized that the conversation with the "person behind the scenes" was about to end, and she took the time to overcome her fear and shouted:
:
"Is Transia here real?"
"good question."
The mysterious "observer" controlled Murphy's body to turn around and showed a subtle smile to Meng Haha. He replied:
"Guess? In addition, since your thinking has already involved the level of reality and illusion, why not consider another more terrifying possibility. Are you really so sure that your side is 'real'?
"
"???"
In Menghaha's wide-eyed confusion, Mr. Murphy, who was possessed by the "dirty thing", returned to his usual gentle and handsome demeanor in the next second.
He looked around in confusion, as if he didn't quite understand why he was here.
When seeing the frightened Mengha, Murphy said with great concern:
"My warrior, what's wrong with you? I seemed to have been prompted just now that your calculation orb was destroyed. This has never happened before. I must confirm whether you are in danger?
You look really bad, as if you've seen a ghost."
"Well, I really saw a ghost just now."
Menghaha nodded vigorously, then she obediently handed the calculation orb she took apart to Murphy and said:
"Sorry, sir, I disassembled it out of personal reckless curiosity. I will take responsibility for this and promise not to teach the method of disassembling it to others."
"You really took apart the calculation orb by yourself and didn't trigger the self-destruction program? What an amazing skill!"
Not only was Murphy not angry, but he praised with satisfaction:
"This is something that almost no one can do except for halfling craftsmen. You have achieved a medium-sized miracle on your own. It seems that you are really talented in this area.
Moreover, Miriam told me that it is not possible for just anyone to successfully remove the crystal of the Calculation Orb without damaging it.
It seems that you are also very talented in the field of psychic energy. So, do you need me to write a letter of introduction for you to join Femis's small psychic organization? Maybe you can work with her to study and decipher these half-body crystals
The secret hidden deep in the stone.”
Speaking of this, Murphy observed the pale-faced Menghaha's state. After confirming that the little player was frightened by his "superb acting skills", he said in a gentler tone:
"Please understand, my warrior, the Calculation Orb has an important mission in the reconstruction of Transia, but we are unable to produce it ourselves, which worries me very much.
If you can help Femis and Xiao Sharon make the exclusive orb that belongs to Transia, I will not hesitate to give you generous rewards."
"Ding"
The beep of the calculation orb sounded, which meant that a precious hidden task was triggered, but at this moment, Menghaha was not in the mood to think about it at all.
Her mind was now filled with the last words that the mysterious observer had said to her.
Can she confirm that the world she lives in must be "real"?
No!
She couldn't be sure.
Because this is no longer a simple physical problem, it is an unsolvable philosophical problem!
If anyone else had said this to her, Mengha would have scoffed at it. However, when this sentence came from the mouth of an "alien", she had to seriously think about the possibility of horror.
