Chapter 65 Return to the altar

After Yang Erci finished speaking, Shen Ti who was leaning on An Wu Jiu's shoulder sat up and looked at him.

He was very calm, without the slightest panic.

"Then make finding this person the third goal." Shen Ti said to An Wujiu.

An Wu Jiu lowered his eyes, a smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay." He replied softly.

Yang Erci looked cold, but her life ability was very strong. Seeing that none of the three of them wanted to eat Zhong Yirou's meal, she did it herself, and quickly made a few vegetable baked eggs and toast.

"Eat whatever you want."

"Smells good."

"My scrambled eggs are also delicious."

"It turned out that the dark one was a scrambled egg."

Everyone sat down at the dining table, gags, talking and laughing. This empty house has not been so lively for a long time, which made Yang Erci feel a little unreal. Since she broke into the altar alone, she has not felt the feeling of being accompanied by someone for a long time. .

An Wujiu swallowed the toast and said to Wu You, "You were electrocuted in the last game, at that time I didn't want you to continue to enter the altar."

Wu You actually saw it long ago, "But it's not something we can decide."

Yang Erci held the coffee spoon and stirred, "There are more people in the altar than I imagined. Within a day of going online, the login IP has already covered the whole world."

"Why do so many people come in? Such a dangerous place." Zhong Yirou couldn't understand.

"It's not just for money," Yang Erci said. "A lot of people who don't lack anything and have golden spoons go in, just to seek excitement."

An Wujiu has always been curious, "What kind of place can a game like the altar be run? If it's an ordinary virtual reality game, that's all, but this is life-threatening."

"This is a joint effort of several of the world's largest multinational technology companies. Now there is no other larger organization, and even the government can't control them." Zhong Yirou put down the towel holding her wet hair, and shook her hair. "Speaking of which, there are also chauvins in it. They provide the most important neural access technology. They also built the game cabin. They have their game factories all over the world."

An Wujiu still finds it strange, "But such a big project, even a multinational company with a wealth of rivalry, has no profit to extract, why should it be run for charity?"

This is indeed suspicious.

"Who knows?" Zhong Yirou shrugged, "Maybe there's something they can profit from here, the evil capitalism."

"I thought it was very strange at first, not only that there was no profit." Yang Erci tapped the inner wall of the coffee cup with his fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was caught in a memory, "The beta version of the altar has just been When it was launched, I was still in chauvinism, and the promotion of the altar at that time made me feel that it was a little too much. A virtual reality game actually spread the publicity to such an extent that there were test connections everywhere in the company."

Shen Ti rested his cheeks in his hand, and drew circles on the table with the other hand boredly, "There is also a special media to announce the surviving conditions of the altar, it's not easy."

An Wu Jiu still thinks that it is not right, "I lost my memory, I don't remember what happened at that time. However, did the altar not mention how to log out of the game when it was first tested? Come out, there shouldn't be so many people logging in, right?"

"This is a good question." Zhong Yirou leaned back on the chair, "In the first test, you can log out at will, and you don't need the player to enter the game cabin. Of course, the game experience is not so real. Later, the official version was launched. The time has changed, anyway, when I entered the first warm-up match, I found that there was no exit button on the game panel."

Yang Erci nodded, "There are real monsters in the dungeon. Many players feel dangerous and want to forcibly quit, but they are regarded as fouls by the game. Either they die or they enter the punishment stack."

"Didn't the development team of the altar give an explanation?" An Wujiu asked.

"Yes." Yang Erci stood up and poured water for himself, "They said that this was a bug that appeared during the game update, so players should be safe, but later they said that the altar had undergone self-learning and iteration, which was beyond their control. In exchange, there is also a problem with the altar's point pool, which has skyrocketed uncontrollably, causing players to receive far greater rewards than before."

An Wujiu understood, "So under this temptation, there are still people who are willing to continue playing."

"Yes." Yang Erci smiled, "Even if you spend only 24 hours, it is more attractive than being poor all the time."

There are still seven hours before returning to the altar game cabin, everyone filled their stomachs and rested in Yang Erci's apartment. for half an hour.

It was a short time, but he seemed to have had many, many dreams.

This dream is somewhat similar to the previous one. In the dream, he is still very small, and he is standing outside the door, looking through the crack of the door, but this time, what he sees is not his mother, but his father.

Father sat at the desk in the room and opened a heavy and ancient book.

He didn't know what his father saw, but he saw him reciting words in strange tones in a continuous manner, and a strange gurgling sound came out of his throat, as if he was repeating an unknown secret language. He's like a Frankenstein who locks himself in a room and a fanatic of some unspeakable religion.

And when the young An Wujiu shouted for his father outside the door in the dream, the man in the room turned his head, his eyes were filled with black, and he stared straight at himself, as if he could breathe everything into it.

And the open book on the table suddenly found countless swaying snake tail-like things, and the sticky and wet tentacles descended along the table, suddenly attacking An Wujiu.

An Wu Jiu outside the crack of the door seemed to have been drained of all his strength and lost the ability to resist, so he was tightly entangled by these thick and smooth tentacles, almost suffocating.

Shen Ti was lying beside the table, staring at An Wujiu who was leaning on the sofa to watch the scenery. Who knew he would fall asleep while watching. He originally wanted to tease him, but he was afraid of waking up, so Shen Ti quietly observed. long time.

I don't know if it was cold or something else, An Wu Jiu's hands were shaking all the time, making Shen Ti uneasy.

In the end, he quietly walked over, took off his windbreaker jacket, and covered An Wujiu with his hands and feet.

But maybe he wasn't careful enough, he disturbed him when he was pulling the corner of his clothes, just as Shen Ti squatted down, An Wu Jiu rolled over and grabbed his arm.

Shen Ti's heart skipped a beat.

But he didn't wake up, but frowned in his sleep, and seemed to be talking in his sleep in a daze.

Shen Ti couldn't hear clearly, so he got closer.

"save……"

Shake him awake?

The dream is too painful.

An Wu Jiu felt that he was strangled by these tentacles to the point of losing the last breath of air, unable to think or even to call for help.

No one came to rescue him.

Just when he thought he was about to die, An Wu Jiu suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.

There were no tentacles and tails, and the first thing he saw was Shen Ti's face.

And he was still holding Shen Ti's arm in his sleep.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ti stroked his forehead naturally, "I sweat a lot."

"It's okay..." An Wujiu was out of breath, and only spoke after calming down, "I always have some very strange dreams, some unnatural phenomena, it's very scary."

He found that he was covered with Shen Ti's clothes, and the fear in his heart dissipated a lot.

"Probably too tired, so I had nightmares." Shen Ti pulled him up, "Did you do it last night too?"

An Wu Jiu shook his head, "No, I slept well last night."

Probably the best sleep he's had recently.

"That's right," Shen Ti patted his shoulder and said deliberately, "My arm is still numb, and no one has pressed it for me."

Wu You originally came towards them with a glass of water, took a sip as he walked, and when he heard Shen Ti's words, he spit the water back into the glass, turned his head and left.

24 hours of leisure time passed quickly. Compared with fighting and fighting in the game, even if the world is in chaos, it is precious.

The sunset was like soaked blood, staining the sky of the city. They returned to the game factory again, ready to join the new battlefield.

"Right." Wu You remembered something, "Brother Wu Jiu, you haven't drawn your reward card in the last warm-up match."

After he reminded him like this, An Wu Jiu remembered that he still has a reward that he has not redeemed, "Yes, I almost forgot."

"Let's smoke when you go in." Wu You hunched over and got into the game cabin on his right and lay down, waiting for the glass door to close, "Maybe you can get rare items."

Shen Ti was on An Wujiu's left, "Draw a pop-up card and pop the little devil's head out of the altar."

"Put you out!"

"Both of you are so noisy." Zhong Yirou curled her hair and stared at the glass cover that was gradually closing, "Please give me a game that can make good money this time..."

Feeding tubes automatically emerged from the cabin and plunged into their arms and necks.

A familiar voice came from the game cabin.

"The database interface is connected."

"Loading surviving data."

"Loading"

"The environment configuration is successful, the variables are initialized-"

"Survivors, welcome back."

In the cabin, his eyes were pure white, and he couldn't see anything.

"Loading warm-up game configuration."

In the state of weightlessness, the pure white space around him suddenly flashed, and colorful data grids began to pour into it, piling up into a gradually real picture.

In the end, a dazzling white light flashed, An Wu Jiu slowly opened his eyes to adapt to the new game environment.

At this moment, he initializes on a wrap-around sofa deck that surrounds a low table. The space here is very small, but the decoration is very luxurious. Besides him, there are five other people, seeing Wu You's face, An Wu Jiu felt a moment of peace of mind.

At least I can take care of him myself.

But in the next second, his heart sank.

Looking around, An Wu Jiu didn't see Shen Ti's figure.

Didn't they match up this time?

Although he was sufficiently mentally prepared for this, he always held a bit of luck in his heart, thinking that when he woke up again, he would be able to see Shen Ti's face.

Except for Wu You, the rest are all new faces.

"Welcome everyone, you are all survivors of the last round of the game, and representatives of bravery and wisdom among human beings."

Such remarks made An Wugui feel uncomfortable.

Their bravery and wisdom are all forced out by this game.

"The following is an announcement of a new warm-up game for you-"

"Wait a minute." Wu You said, "Is there only so many people in this game?"

The Holy Voice answers him.

"of course not."

"This round of warm-up matches is different from the previous ones. You are not all players in this round of games."

An Wu Jiu realized something.

It's still possible.

"Because of the large number of players, all the survivors participating in this round of the game were randomly divided into nine groups, each group of six people, a total of fifty-four people. Everyone will compete in the warm-up game in the group, and the final winner will have the opportunity to vote. ."

"Vote?" A red-haired western man sitting diagonally in front of An Wujiu questioned, "Isn't it a reward?"

"The reward this time is not so easy." Shengyin said.

"Nine winners will have a chance to vote for the format, by majority, and each of you will have a small advantage, which you will know when you win."

"The following is an announcement for the game of this round of warm-up matches."

Five dice appeared before their eyes.

An Wu Jiu frowned.

Are you going to gamble?

"Big talk dice."
