Volume 1 The Society of the Holy Spirit Chapter 4 The Society of the Holy Spirit

Avon City Hall.

In the mayor's office, Lin Yichen closed his eyes and put his legs on the desk, looking like a hanger.

"Tsk, I don't understand why they like this way of sitting. Lin Yichen opened his eyes and jumped out of his chair.

The sky outside had just released a glimmer of light, and Lin Yichen stood by the window, quietly staring at the city that was beginning to wake up gradually.

After all, it is only a county seat, and even in front of the city government, you can still hear the cries of "tofu brain soy milk fritters and buns", which adds a lot of fireworks to the city.

Lin Yichen naturally didn't have a sense of hunger, he just looked at the window for a while, and then walked down on his own.

The entire city government building was empty, and Lin Yichen's footsteps were clearly recognizable.

In fact, the entire city of Avon could rely on the supercomputer placed in the city hall to run automatically, and the city hall would not even exist if it weren't for the presence of the rebels.

Lin Yichen walked out of the city hall, and when the officer at the door saw this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to make way for Lin Yichen.

Lin Yichen walked to the parking lot and got into the mayor's car.

In fact, this so-called mayor's car only has symbolic meaning, after all, no matter where Lin Yichen wants to go, the aircraft on his body can do it for him, and the effect is far better than this so-called special car. However, Lin Yichen seems to be particularly fond of this feeling of blending in with the crowd.

Half an hour later, the mayor's car stopped in front of a high school.

Lin Yichen, who had just returned to his suit and leather shoes, suddenly changed his appearance at this time, wearing a typical Chinese-style school uniform, and there was an extra schoolbag on his shoulder.

In this way, a dignified mayor, carrying a schoolbag and wearing a school uniform, together with a group of high school students, crossed the threshold of Evan No. 2 Middle School with an indifferent face.

Holy Spirit Society.

Paul and Wu Shixiong stepped down from the elevator and greeted the people around them with familiar expressions.

This is an underground base full of futuristic and technological sense, and a group of people are busy walking through it like interstellar agents in science fiction movies.

"Where the hell is this? Who are you, and who is the man who was chasing me?"

In the lounge, Geng Zhiming was about to collapse.

"Before answering these questions, you'd better figure out the nature of the world. Tang Xueqing gently soothed, "I'll show you something." ”

Tang Xueqing walked to a screen, pressed a few buttons on the console, and a news flash jumped out.

"According to reports, on the night of May Day, there was a car accident at the Jinzhou exit of Shenhai Expressway, and the father and son were rushed to the hospital for treatment.......

“......”

Geng Zhiming looked at himself unconscious on the screen in a daze, unable to say a word.

"If I'm not mistaken, you and your father should be in a deep coma in reality. Someone has manipulated your and your father's healing apparatus, tampered with your memories, and brought you to this utopian country. According to the information we obtained, this ghost place is a product of the so-called "Divine Domain Project", so we generally use the Divine Domain to refer to this virtual world. ”

"Tampering with memories? Is this something humans can do now?"

"Of course humans can't do that. Therefore, we have always suspected that the mastermind behind this world may not be the civilization of the earth. ”

"You mean...... In this world, there are aliens?"

"No, that's just our guess. So far, we can be sure that the center of this world is a super artificial intelligence codenamed Apocalypse, but since it is artificial intelligence, it must have been designed by someone, and I don't think that artificial intelligence in modern society has developed to this extent. ”

"What is the purpose of those so-called aliens? What will happen to this world when we enter it? Are we just hunted down?"

"We don't know your first question either. Tang Xueqing shook her head, "As for your second question, according to our research over the years, the Apocalypse will bring a group of victims into this world in some way every year, and hypnotize and control them in a special institution, after which the victims will forget everything in reality and completely become a member of this utopian country." But there will inevitably be accidents in the process, and we escaped while being brainwashed, thus forming one of the many rebels in this utopian country, the Holy Spirit Society. ”

"Then that ...... yours," Geng Zhiming gestured vigorously, "What's the one that turns sand at a little bit?"

"Are you talking about this?" Tang Xueqing smiled, "After our predecessors got rid of the control of the Apocalypse, they were surprised to find that in this world we can have superpowers that are beyond the reach of the normal world, which is also the capital of our fight against the Apocalypse. The one you just said is my ability. ”

"Super ...... Superpowers?" Geng Zhiming felt that his worldview was collapsing.

"You don't have to worry too much about that. Tang Xueqing said, "This is just a virtual world, if you have to compare something...... Probably similar to Sword Art Online, however, the price of losing this game may be a bit large. ”

"Let me tell you this, have you seen Sword Art Online?"

“...... What do you mean?"

"Your current situation is basically similar to Kirito, but the problem is that you're not a closed beta player, and you don't have Asuna by your side. To make matters worse, there's not even a main quest yet, no one knows what's going to happen in the future, and the GM (Game Master) is still trying to kill you. ”

“...... Wait, let me take a break. Geng Zhiming struggled to digest such a huge amount of information, "I still have a few questions. According to normal logic, the GM ----in your mouth is the artificial intelligence that controls the world, and his authority should be ridiculously high, shouldn't it be easy to deal with you defectors?

"You're really good at getting to the point. Tang Xueqing smiled and said, "I'm sorry, these two questions you asked involve the top secret of the Holy Spirit Society, please forgive me for not being able to disclose them to you for the time being." ”

"Okay, let me summarize, I only have two choices right now, either join you in your search for a chance to return to reality, or leave here and become that so-called apocalyptic puppet, and then completely turn into a vegetative person in reality, that's what you mean?"

"It's not all right. I have already said before, the rebels in the Divine Domain are not only us a Holy Spirit Society, this world is far from only a small county under your feet, according to our statistics, there are at least more than 8,000 cities in this virtual world, if you put it in the real world, it basically covers most of the world, and the rebel armies of all sizes active in it will definitely not be less than three digits, and we are only one of the three largest rebel armies. In fact, we have not met the kind of people who are unwilling to take risks to leave this world, after all, not all of us have an inseparable bond with the real world. If you are one of those people, we have the least respect for your wishes. ”

“...... Forget it, I wouldn't want to be a vegetative person and drag my family in bed for the rest of my life. Geng Zhiming smiled bitterly, "The last question, will my father be okay, how can I save him?"

"In fact, according to our past experience, your father will probably not have an accident, but he has been brainwashed and controlled. When we succeed in breaking this cage, your father will naturally come back to his senses. ”

“...... That's good. Geng Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll ...... now."

"Come with me, you should have something else to sort out. Tang Xueqing smiled.
