1540 What Lin Sanjiu took and what Lin Sanjiu gave
While she was waiting to be sent to the underground game space, Lily and Lily were so nervous that they wanted to vomit several times. However, she bent down and tried to retch several times, but nothing came out. I don’t know if it was because she had changed.
It turned into words because she had the impression that she hadn't eaten in a long time.
Lin Sanjiu had disappeared from the walkie-talkie for a while, but the last few words she said kept running wildly in Lily's mind.
"I just discussed it with my friends. If I bypass some settings, I should be able to get you into the underground game space," she said at the time. "In order to make it easier for you to understand the situation and make a decision. But... in the underground space
There is no way to call out human words. I can only turn you into a part of the underground space facility. This means that after you come down, you will never be able to get out again. So, you have to think carefully——"
"Send me down," He Lily didn't even let her finish what she said. Although there were some parts that she couldn't understand, it was enough to understand the most important part. Once you go down and you can't come back up, what does it matter?
What is the essential difference between being deleted above the ground and being deleted below the ground?
If she goes down, she can at least see a familiar face.
She and Lin Sanjiu were not close friends, and even the changes Lin Sanjiu was showing now made her a little scared. However, if today was the last day of her life, she would still be willing to be by her side.
It is much more comforting to have someone you know to see you off... than to be deleted while looking around blankly, accompanied by corpses.
He Baihe cheered herself up, but her palms were still covered in cold sweat. When Lin Sanjiu's voice sounded, she almost jumped up in shock - "Are you ready?"
"Okay," she breathed out and murmured.
As a result, the process of being re-textualized and re-materialized was not as scary as she thought; it felt as if the person had changed places as soon as she opened and closed her eyes.
She and Lily turned around, looking at the huge rotunda in which she was, and her eyes stayed on the gray cement ceiling above her head for a while. It was the last thing she saw in her life, and she suddenly thought, if she still
On the ground, when she wants to go somewhere, the people below will control where she goes... No, let's not talk about whether it is practical or not. Of course, she can move back and forth like that, but it's just not as good as being deleted.
happy.
"Are you ready?" Lin Sanjiu's voice called her back to her senses.
The slight comfort brought by a familiar face was quickly washed away by another unfamiliar fright. After Lin Sanjiu walked into the rotunda with another young girl she didn't know, she approached her
Sometimes, He Baihe even felt like jumping up and running - she was not afraid of Lin Sanjiu, but she seemed to instinctively feel that Lin Sanjiu must have experienced some kind of great shock; the shock now
The aftermath was about to hit her, and she subconsciously wanted to escape to protect herself.
However, He Baihe still stood firm and did not move. She glanced at Lin Sanjiu and asked, "What are you going to tell me?"
"Sit down," Lin Sanjiu raised her chin towards the rest area in the rotunda and said, "They used to communicate about game content in the rotunda. I can project the past games to you here.
"
"Really...are those games really designed by the Evolvers themselves?" He Lily slowly sat down on the sofa and asked. Now that she sat down, the corpses piled up under the long dining table not far away
It entered the corner of her field of vision more clearly; she refrained from looking back, and just asked: "...are those people?"
"And God knows how many people came before them." Lin Sanjiu smiled softly and sat down next to her. The long-haired girl sat on the armrest next to Lin Sanjiu, quietly
not talking.
"Let's start with this one," Lin Sanjiu thought for a while. She didn't see any movement, but suddenly a piece of white cloth fell in front of her eyes. It seemed to play the role of a "document" as Lin Sanjiu said. When the game
When the content appeared on the document, He Baihe couldn't help but take a breath - she didn't expect that she could actually "see" the game immersively.
The first thing He Lily saw was a simulated war game. All evolvers who enter the battlefield area must participate in the first round of "general selection"; players use the rules and props in the game to transform others as much as possible.
Become your own soldier - If you don't let others become your own soldiers, you will become other people's soldiers. Which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance.
After the "generals" appeared one after another and separated themselves from the game territory, the game turned into a melee among warlords to compete for territory. The person who designed this game seemed to be a gambler who was so addicted to gambling that he could not control himself.
He often takes the game he created and plays with others in underground game spaces to bet on who will be the winner; when encountering exciting battles, he will record them and add narration - precisely because of this,
Unfortunately, Lily and I watched more than ten minutes of war footage.
This is not a war between modern countries with conventions and scruples; with the dedicated efforts of the players, these primitive forms of human groups are engaged in primitive melee battles between tribes - its chaos
, crazy and bloodthirsty, even making people suspect that they and the people in the image may not be the same creature.
"I don't want to watch it," she asked without even looking in the mirror, knowing that her face was pale, before the video ended. "What's next?"
The next one and the next one, as well as the next three or five that Lin Sanjiu showed her, each made people feel uncomfortable in their own way. Not every game is cruel. For example, there is a game about catching moles, which is not cruel at all.
It will threaten people's lives; there are also business simulation games that don't even require hands-on. No matter what the game looks like, He Baihe found himself involuntarily turning his eyes away again and again, secretly facing Lin Sanjiu again and again.
Resentment arises: She herself has experienced games, why bother showing her these games again? Isn’t this just torture?
"What many game creators write at the beginning is not life-or-death stuff, but as time goes by, it becomes more and more out of shape." Lin Sanjiu seemed to be aware of her emotions, and finally paused the display of the game and said:
"Among game creators, the games they write have become a prop for gaining the pleasure of control, accumulating advantages for themselves in the future, taming players... and so on. Even among them, the game has many functions.
.They are a source of entertainment similar to reality shows, and they are also a demonstration tool similar to fangs and horns. The more ruthless the game is, the less likely other people will dare to mess with it."
"Then I don't understand how it can get to the point like in some games..."
"It doesn't happen overnight." The girl next to Lin Sanjiu suddenly interjected, "If you can accept someone crying today, you can accept someone bleeding tomorrow. If you were in this kind of environment, I'm afraid you would also gradually
Desensitization. Besides, who doesn’t want to be God for a time?”
He Lily lowered her head and intertwined her fingers. Her mind was so confused that she didn't even know what she was thinking about, or maybe she was thinking about nothing at all. "Aren't there any good games?" After a while, she asked.
Because of this problem, she next read the contents of "Rescue Station".
The game itself is irreproachable, there are no traps, there are no hidden arrows. Watching it, He and Lily felt a little moved. If Hoster was lucky enough to encounter such a game, he would never die. "Rescue Station" game
There was no video, only the text of the game. She read it several times and sighed: "Isn't this great?"
Lin Sanjiu was silent for a while without comment. She looked at the rescue station game on the screen, and there seemed to be endless threads that even she couldn't grasp, like dark waves flowing deep in the ocean; but in the
On the surface, her expression was only slightly undulating, almost like a calm sea.
"I was reading this game and Nuwa... Oh, you don't know her, so we can talk about this later. In short, after reading Nuwa's records, I thought of the proposal for you."
He Lily turned around, looked at her and asked, "What is the proposal?"
"The records say that since the rescue station game was opened, the death rate of evolvers within a radius of tens of thousands of meters has been reduced by 46%, and serious injuries, mobility problems or mental disorders have also been reduced by more than 35%." Lin San
Jiu said softly, "But besides that, there is another data."
Without waiting for Lily to ask, she continued: "Games have requirements for the number of participants. The larger the scale, the greater the number of participants required. If the number of participants cannot be gathered, the game may not be able to start. This data is
It records the success rate of gathering the number of people in each game in other games except the rescue station within this range...compared to before the appearance of the rescue station, this number has greatly increased after the appearance of the rescue station, and the next player is captured.
The speed is also faster. If volunteers wait at the entrance of the aid station, they can always wait for the people who have just been 'discharged'."
"This is understandable, because fewer people died, so the survivors finally healed their injuries, and were given to other games..." He Lily said this, and suddenly paused. "Hey, I want to save people.
If so, why doesn't he stop other game creators? They...are all in the same space, right?"
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
The three people sat in a strange silence for a while, and then she continued with a sigh: "I can't remove this game space. If it doesn't exist in this doomsday game world, then another form that I can't predict will take over.
The blank it left behind. If once I leave, it returns to its previous operating mode and leaves the fate of one group of people to another group of unpredictable people, then I...I can't bear this result."
She turned her head and looked into He Lily's eyes. "The pain your current existence has brought to you... I can only imagine. The game has taken away your identity as a human being, and I have taken away what you thought
You have the illusion that you still have the last bit of control over yourself. What I have to do now is to give you something again."
He and Lily seemed to be frozen, waiting motionless.
"You no longer have to survive, so you can choose to die, or you can choose to start today, in this troubled world, live for a meaning and a responsibility. Become the manager of the underground game space...
