Caught off guard, Liu Tianxiong was hit by a punch against the corner of a hard table, knocked over many bottles and cans, let out a pig-like scream in pain, heard that the broken willow rushed up and grabbed the dog tag in his hand, and just pressed him to the ground and hammered him violently. Liu Tianxiong struggled fiercely, turned the top of the smelling willow to the ground on one knee and punched him twice in the face.

He was tall, fat and strong, and the strength of his fist was particularly heavy and powerful. With two blows, he beat the corners of his mouth to see blood. The third fist fell on his abdomen and the fourth punch on his chest. A wave of blood came out of his throat. When he heard that the willow was only clenching his teeth without any pain, he stretched out his arm, picked up the plank on the side and slapped hard at Liu Tianxiong's head, so that the sawdust spattered. A large piece of oil was also wiped off the other party's forehead.

The noise in the attic was so earth-shaking that both Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian rushed up to see the situation. When they saw that the attic was in a mess and the two men were torn and tumbled in it, Wen Qian let out a cry of surprise. Liu Jianzhang went up and forcibly separated the two men, and he himself was beaten several times in the chaotic battle.

"enough, enough!" Liu Jianzhang roared, and at the same time dragged Liu Tianxiong aside to let him stand, and let Wen Chiliu lie down and gasp all over the ground. "what does it look like to fight all day long?"

Liu Tianxiong howled loudly, Wen Qian pounced on him, and rubbed his forehead sadly. Wen Zailiu stood up from the ground, holding the rope of the dog tag in his hand, his cheeks were blue and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were broken.

He wiped his nose, rubbed the blood on his hands on the edge of his clothes, and sneered, "if he doesn't mess with me, I don't have to touch him. Don't I feel dirty?"

"get out of this house!" Liu Jianzhang was furious. "We've been good enough to you, you ungrateful beast!"

Smelling the broken willow staring at him bitterly, he looked cold and said, "you'd better remember whose home this is."

With that, he turned away and slammed into the attic door with all his strength, which shook almost the whole house.

The night breeze is slightly cool, smelling the broken willow staggering, walking aimlessly in the street, passers-by in a hurry, no one is willing to look at the scarred teenager for a moment. In the sign, on the hanging picture, in the projection and between the curtain of light, Saint Theresa still exudes pure brilliance ignorantly and unconsciously, facing the world in the posture of prayer.

Hearing that Liu was dizzy, he felt a pain all over his body, so that he was about to throw up. Squinting and barely distinguishing in the bright lights of the streets, he chose a 24-hour coffee shop, opened the door and plunged in.

The shopkeeper and waiter were startled, smelled the broken willow and went to the front desk, ordered a cup of coffee and asked for a lot of ice. He fell down on the soft seat, exhausted, and just wanted to sleep like this forever.

The terminal on his hand suddenly rang, and he tried to lift his wrist, opened his eyelids and took a peek, and found that what was shown above was chin.

Chin: [where is it? why haven't you come yet? ]

He smiled weakly, and it seemed that he Qin had sent him a message in the valley of terror.

He thought for a moment and sent a voice: "Brother, I'm tired." I want to take a break. "

The opposite was quiet for a moment, and heard that the folded willow closed his eyes again. After a while, the phone rang and he Qin called.

"what's the matter? what's the matter?" On the other end of the phone, in addition to Hechin's magnetic voice, it was also mixed with faint voices and humming sounds.

"I was kicked out of my family. No, that's not my home, I. I have no home. " The night outside the window was like water, and the stars were sparse. he looked at the unknown distance, and his grievances and resentment poured towards him. He sniffed and cried. When I give the money back to them and get my parents' money back, I can buy another game warehouse. I'll come up and see you then. "

"where are you?" He Qin said, "send me the location. I'll send someone to pick you up now."

"No, no, no." When the ice came up, the waiter kindly brought him a handkerchief and hurriedly stood up to thank him. He wrapped the ice in his handkerchief and applied it to the swollen part of his cheek, sizzling with pain. "it's so late now, where are you going to find someone to pick me up …". "

"what's the matter?" he Qin is far more sensitive than he thought. "are you hurt?"

Smell fold willow way: "No, no!" I was drinking water, so I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. "

He Qin was silent for a moment and said with a sneer, "who's worried about you little fool?". Are you sure it's all right? "

"it's all right." He replied vaguely, "I'm fine."

Smelling the folded willow looking out of the window, the cold ice was stuck on the hot wound, which really made him feel a lot more comfortable and lucid. He looked out of the window and suddenly frowned.

In his line of sight, countless saints who had been motionless and glowing white in the night seemed to tilt their heads in unison.

He opened his eyes wide and heard a "rustling" sound similar to a bad signal coming from the terminal.

". Brother? " He asked hesitantly.

"I'm here," replied Hechin. "what's the matter?"

"have you seen the head of Horror Valley?" He weighed his words, "No, I just saw them."

Before he had finished, the nuns where he could see suddenly turned their heads to him!

Whether it's back to him, side to side, or suspended above the coffee shop. Their bodies are motionless, but they all twist their heads over a uniform arc and aim at the direction where Wen Ziliu is located!

Hundreds of red lips bent up and smiled at him.

In an uproar, he was so shocked by the broken willow that he knocked over the coffee cup in the tray. "Brother, what's going on?"

"you. Don't. Mess. I. " There was a sharp buzzing noise from the terminal, and he Qin's words were soon engulfed in them, and only a few words could be difficult to reveal, "right now." Come. "

The pedestrians on the street stopped one after another, pointed at the strange and frightening shape of the holy nun, and turned on the brain camera to take pictures. Smelling the cold hair handstand of the broken willow, as if he had been targeted by some beast, he shouted at the terminal: "Brother!"

At the same time, the light screen used by the store for publicity, the giant screen of circular advertising on the mall, and even the flickering neon lights beside the station were all black at this moment, and when they lit up again, the exaggerated smile of the holy nun was everywhere, occupying almost all the people's attention at the speed of pollution!

Smelling the broken willow, regardless of the pain in his waist and abdomen, he ran out, and the floating menu used for ordering in the cafe lit up, suddenly blocking him in front of his eyes, also flashing the face of the holy nun.

The whole world was packed with a vast expanse of dead white and a touch of bloody red, and thousands of holy nuns spoke with one voice and said to the willow in an ethereal voice, "there you are!" I see you. "

The noise of screams and sirens gradually faded away from the ears of the broken willow, and at this moment he suddenly realized that it might not be him that the holy nun was targeting!

He hastily turned off the terminal power and smashed the thin LCD screen to pieces: "get out!"

A dazzling snowlight exploded in front of him, and he stood still for a moment, pushing open the revolving door of the coffee shop, and the cold night wind almost made him stand unsteady. It is out of order outside, and there are floating cars falling sharply from the sky because they are out of control. On the streets and lanes, sparks from circuits burst like waterfalls, splashing on every pedestrian who flees in panic, and countless holographic projection lights automatically turn to the center of the city. A huge statue of the Holy Virgin converges in the sky.

Like a new star city in the virtual world, Saint Theresa opens her arms under the vast night sky, while the screens of countless residents' homes light up forcefully. The giant ai, which now represents the highest level of scientific research in the world, has invaded civil intelligence systems with her own overwhelming power and is forcing everyone to listen to her voice.

"City of Nova, Dream and Future"

She embraced the illusory night wind, and the 3D image of the hologram was suddenly strangely distorted, and regular slanting snowflakes waved over her body, as if disturbed by high-frequency electrons, and the next second, her bent red lips burst apart, revealing her bloody gums and torn muscle texture, almost overturning most of her skull. She opened her lips as if she had opened a deep, bottomless mouth of blood leading to hell.

"shaped by me."

On July 29th, AD 2301, due to the negligence of the R & D staff of n-star, the "Horror Valley" intelligent brain "Saint Theresa" broke through the restrictions of the Turing Wall and had her own thinking and wisdom. She hacked into the main system with authority second only to the ai at the heart of Nova City, expelling thousands of regional regulators and seizing full control of the Horror Valley.

In the early morning of the same day, "Saint Theresa" cut off more than 4 million online players in the "Horror Valley" from the outside world, and at the same time locked in the bioelectricity fluctuation frequency of n company's regional executives in the Asia-Pacific region through terminal signals, thus imprisoning him in the game world as a hostage.

The Valley of Terror is officially out of control of Nova City, and Sister Theresa reneges on the ai agreement to declare herself an independent intelligent life.

In just one day, the situation in the outside world has been turned upside down.

As the focus of the unusual storm, hearing that the broken willow was quickly taken away by the police, and then even the chair was not heated, the lawyer sent by the n-star company intervened forcefully and pulled him out of the police station.

He sat in an expensive luxury floating car, opposite a well-dressed lawyer, who helplessly watched the lawyer take a small thing as round as a button out of his arms and stick it under his seat.

Suddenly, hearing the broken willow, felt a quiet and hidden force field spread throughout the space, until it completely wrapped up the two of them.

"under the cover of the electronic shielding field, any electronic products will not be used." The lawyer took the initiative to explain to him, "in view of the particularity of Theresa, this is a necessary protective measure."

Wen Zailiu looked at him in shock, and it took a long time to find his voice: "where are he and he Qin?" Is he all right? "

The dog tags hanging from his neck collided with the sound of his undulating breath, making a fragmentary and crisp sound.

The lawyer did not answer his question directly and said, "when you get to the place, someone will make it clear to you. Please take it easy."

Hearing the broken willow, I just didn't think that this "someone" actually refers to he Qin's two uncles, the chief executive and deputy chief executive of n-star.

He stepped on the smooth and clean floor without a crack, and he Huaizhou smiled kindly at him: "Please have a seat."

After smelling the broken willow, an equally white and flawless seat floated quietly and gently put it on his leg. He was caught off guard, fell on it, and was led forward automatically.

In front of him sat two old people.

One was gentle and amiable, dressed in a camel sweater, light-colored casual pants, and a white shirt with a corner collar tucked into the round collar of a cashmere sweater; the other was a foreigner with brown hair and blue eyes, dressed in a straight and solemn suit, unsmiling, and a long-standing majesty in his deep brow.

"Don't worry," he Huaizhou said with a soft smile and a slow voice. "are you the kid who made a bet with Achin?"

"Yes, yes!" It felt like being asked by the teacher, making Wen Chueliu panic from the bottom of his heart, "I won, so he put his dog tag.". The electronic name tag was given to me. "

Adelaide listened without saying a word.

He Huaizhou was silent for a moment and whispered, "the change that took place in Theresa is a result that we never thought of. It even affected Achin and even you. As the proposer and chief designer of the Horror Valley project, I sincerely apologize to you."

With that, he Huaizhou stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Ziliu.

"Don't do that." Hearing the broken willow hurriedly pushed back, "I just made a phone call to him, nothing can affect me.". "

"you have activated access to the Valley of Terror." Adelaide green, CEO of n-star, began by saying that he was fluent in Chinese. "cereza is currently cutting off only online players from the outside world, and those who have access but have not yet entered the valley of terror think they can escape, but in fact, you are still locked in by her, and you may lose consciousness and fall into the game world at any time."

Hearing the broken willow stunned, only felt deeply absurd and unbelievable.

". How did she do it? " He asked, "since you led the development of the program, how could she."

He Huaizhou said bitterly: "when we first designed the brain, the initial character we arranged for her was very fair and strict, just like a real holy nun.". But the plan was immediately rejected by some members of the board, who thought that if Theresa were just a regular mastermind, then Horror Valley would lose some of its selling point, and conversely, they proposed a 'fully intelligent' solution to the design team. "

"We have added complex and multifaceted arc designs to all the npc, in the Valley of Horror." He Huaizhou said, "they have conflicts, struggles, and a thousand different ideas, and they are almost no different from a living person, especially the intelligent system that dominates all this-now it's time to call her Theresa of intelligent life. The design team and planning team added hundreds of millions of bytes of real and complex people to set the background. We simulated tens of thousands of different life trends, selected the most suitable group to embed her main program, and changed her initial character. "

He Huaizhou's eyes were in pain. Adelaide stretched out his hand from one side and gently soothed his back. The more complex, the more contradictory, the more real, the easier it is to break through control. It can be said that her loss of control is simply a human error. "

Smell the broken willow frowned: "even so, how can people live in the game world all their lives?" Do they want to be vegetative all their lives? "

He thought of he Qin, of the man who was always comfortable and arrogant, the man who said he wanted to be his brother, and for some reason, his heart was like choking on ice, sore and painful, until he was cold to the soles of his feet.

Adelaide chimed in: "however, this is not without a turn for the better."

Hearing the folded willow, he raised his head abruptly.

"that's right." He Huaizhou said, "the original procedures and settings are still there. Theresa is not an indestructible steel plate." Before you came, the negotiating team had sent a message that according to their final agreement with Theresa, if players can clear nine worlds, then they can get the key to leave the valley of terror. "

Smell fold willow murmur: "pass through nine worlds.". "

He Huaizhou whispered, "this is as much as we can fight for. She still has millions of lives in her hands, and even Aqin, we can't achieve our goal by coercion.". I'm sorry. "

"in order to compensate, the giant electronic shielding field has been built and is expected to be put into use in a week. It is large enough to accommodate a city with a population of more than one million. At that time, we will invite the remaining players to live here for a period of time, during which all the cost of daily life and diet will be borne by n-star. I. Once again, I apologize to you and those innocent players. I'm sorry, it was n-star 's carelessness that led to all this. "

I didn't know what to say when heard the broken willow.

Now jump up and rob heaven and earth, and what's the use of swearing? Can those who are forced to be locked up in the game world come back? what should he Qin do?

"I can see that," he Huaizhou looked softly at him. "you care about Aqin very much. you two really don't seem to have met only once, but like old friends who have known each other for many years."

Wen Ziliu bowed his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at Hechin's dog tag on his hand and slowly touched the rugged pattern with his index finger, which reflected a blurred light in the room as bright as daylight.

"Yes." Adelaide, who seems to be reticent, also said, "Aqin is a child who has been thoughtful since he was a child." Only once, there are very few people who can get him to let his guard down. You're fine. "

Thinking of their descendants, adelaide and he Huaizhou lowered their eyes and looked at the small metal plate with unspeakable sadness.

He Huaizhou breathed a sigh and whispered to Wen Ziliu, "it's a little presumptuous, but can you give me this electronic nameplate?" As for Achin's bet with you, we can give you something else as compensation. "

Hearing the broken willow smiled, he put his hands behind his neck and made a move to take the leather rope off. "but my bet is very expensive," he joked. "

Adelaide is silent, he Huaizhou sighs: "Yes, 3s props fragments, you are so lucky."

Hearing this, he smelled the tiptoes of the broken willow and leaned forward slightly.
