Yu Hongsheng explained with the playback of the video: "The picture is an office of our Academy of Sciences, this researcher first found that his computer was down, and then all the icons on the desktop disappeared, and the first perspective of the moving picture appeared in the monitor, according to the researcher himself, he tried to move the mouse and hit the keyboard could not switch back to the operating system interface, he thought that the computer was poisoned, so he planned to unplug the computer and take it for repair." ”

In the surveillance video, the researcher bends down, pulls the plug from the wall, and moves the computer console from under the desk, but his body stiffens visibly when he stands up and sees the computer monitor.

He bent down again and got under the table, and when he came out, he had the power cord in his hand, he looked at the power cord and then at the monitor, and then he took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

Yu Hongsheng explained: "Our researcher obviously unplugged the power cord of the monitor, but the picture of the monitor still exists, and this anti-scientific phenomenon scared him. ”

The researcher in the video appears to be frightened, presumably screaming in fright, as everyone else around him gathers around, someone lifts him up, and the video is fast-forwarded to the point where everyone realizes the abnormality of the computer monitor.

There was chaos in the picture, and then Shen Luo saw Yu Hongsheng appear in the video.

"I was at the first scene, and at that time I had already seen the containment object's appetite birthday cake via video link, so after I learned about the anomaly, it instantly occurred to me that it was a containment object. ”

Yu Hongsheng continued to explain according to the video: "We began to study the computer, and found that the angle of view can be adjusted through the mouse, and after switching the second perspective, we can see your face, of course, I haven't seen your information at that time and I don't know who you are." ”

"Your face didn't appear for long, we only had time to record your appearance with our phones, and then the monitor suddenly smoked for some reason, and then exploded inexplicably. ”

Shen Luo saw that the monitor in the video did start to smoke as Yu Hongsheng said, and all the onlookers retreated, and then the monitor screen exploded instantly, and all the images on it disappeared.

"Why did the monitor suddenly explode?" asked Shen Luo.

"Who knows, although it exploded, but the monitor lit up again, it may not be real in the surveillance video, and a paragraph of text was displayed on the screen that lit up again: [Encountered an attack from an unknown source, found an illegal plug-in, the game world was generated in advance, and the error correction was ......]"

Shen Luo saw that the computer monitor did have a process of lighting up for a while and then dimming again.

"What does this containment object mean, what is it trying to correct, what is attacking it, it is plain to say!" Shen Luo complained.

Shen Luo asked Yu Hongsheng again: "You said that there were six monitors before, but now there are only three left, which means that there are two computer monitors in the future?"

"Yes!" After speaking, Yu Hongsheng jumped to the next paragraph, and the picture was no longer the original office, but in a laboratory.

"Out of an abundance of caution, after the monitor exploded, I immediately arranged for all the staff to investigate to see if there were other anomalous displays, and as a result, we found the second and third anomalous monitors in this laboratory. ”

Shen slightly rubbed his eyes: "It's not just one abnormality, the one on the right is still the operating system interface." "This time the surveillance is directly on the monitor, so the content of the picture is very clear.

Yu Hongsheng: "You can see it if you look at it." ”

Shen Luo then saw Yu Hongsheng and several researchers appear in the screen, and one of the researchers began to fiddle with the mouse, and should be adjusting the viewing angle, because a face appeared on the monitor.

"Hey, this face is a little familiar!" Shen Luo felt that he knew this person.

Yu Hongsheng said with a smile: "I think it's familiar, this young man is Luo Yiming, the champion of last year's world e-sports competition, and there are also young people in our Academy of Sciences who recognize him at the first time." ”

Yu Hongsheng also remembered Shen Luo when he said this, to say that Shen Luo is also an otaku, and otaku, playing games, watching anime, and chasing dramas are all essential items.

Shen really paid attention to Luo Yiming's game for a while.

Yu continued: "We were caught off guard by the next change in the monitor, and after we saw Luo Yiming's face and recognized his identity, the screen suddenly switched to a game-like selection screen. ”

"There is a text prompt in the center of the display: [Please enter the game]. Then there are two boxes under this text, the first box is gray and reads: Beastcraft Prologue [Beast Advent] (completed), and then the second box is blue and reads: Beastcraft Chapter 1 [King of the Terrans] (unfinished)"

Shen Luo asked, "What does this mean, this containment object can't be a game, right?"

Yu Hongsheng replied: "We have also made similar conjectures to yours, this containment object is likely to be a certain system, or a game, of course, it may also be a game console, or even a game controller and game disc, but who knows, maybe its entity is something else that we expected." ”

"In the video, the researcher who was in charge of controlling the mouse subconsciously operated when he saw this scene, he clicked on the prologue first, but there was no response, so he clicked on the unfinished first chapter......" Yu Hongsheng was silent after speaking.

Because what happened next didn't need to be described by him, Shen Luo saw that the researcher instantly turned into nothingness and dissipated out of thin air.

Yu Hongsheng sighed and said, "I should be cautious and stop him as soon as possible, so that he won't die." ”

"Dead?" After saying that, Shen Luo realized what it meant, "Because he didn't have the qualifications to be a player, that's why he died?"

Yu Hongsheng nodded and said: "That's true, after his death, the monitor gave a hint: [Non-players are found to have entered, the game has failed, punishment: obliteration, and at the same time, the upper limit of the life span of the clan belonging to the camp is reduced by 5 (unit: years)]. ”

Shen was slightly surprised: "Should this containment object be so ruthless, and directly bring the entire race with a map cannon!" Have you verified the truth of the reduction of human life span by five years?"

Yu Hongsheng nodded and said: "Naturally, it has been verified, after this text appeared, several scientists died in the Academy of Sciences one after another, most of them were some old scientists in their 80s and 90s, and a few were about 60, and there was even a young researcher who suffered from cancer and said on the critical illness notice that he would live for two or three years at most." ”

Yu Hongsheng sighed and said: "In other words, this punishment is true and effective, and there is no falsehood. ”

Shen Luo suddenly thought that he didn't have much lifespan, and the time when this containment object appeared should be before he entered the physical training ground, which means that the only life he had left was not all caused by the state recovery skill.

"So later, did you find a real player, Luo Yiming, to play the game?" asked Shen Luo.

"Originally, I was going to do this, but suddenly the monitor popped up again and prompted: [Attacked by unknown source, illegal plug-in found, game abnormal, error correction ......]"

"We were startled, thinking that the monitor was about to explode again, and they dispersed backwards, but the abrupt disappearance of this prompt was also very abrupt, and the display suddenly returned to its original picture, but a one-hour countdown appeared in the interface. ”

Shen was slightly surprised: "Eh, what does this containment object want to express, is it asking the player to enter the game quickly?"

Yu replied, "We speculate that this should be the case, but we also suspect that once the countdown is over, it means that the game will fail, the player will be wiped out by the containment, and all of humanity will be punished with a reduced lifespan once again." ”

Ying Mulan, who had not spoken, interjected: "I think that it is not the containment itself that wants Luo Yiming to enter the game quickly, but some other existence!"

Yu Hongsheng and Shen Luo looked at Ying Mulan together. Yu Hongsheng asked, "Why do you say that?"

Ying Mulan stretched her waist and said, "Don't you feel this way when you see the video?"

Shen Luo asked rhetorically: "What else can you feel besides being inexplicable? This containment object is too unreasonable." ”

Ying Mulan tapped her head with her fingers: "Old Shen, adults should use their brains more, you shouldn't be limited to containment objects." ”

"From the first time the display indicated an attack from an unknown source, you should have thought that this is no longer as simple as a containment object, what can attack a containment object in defiance of absolute characteristics!"

When Ying Mulan said this, Shen Luo immediately realized the crux of the problem: "You mean the heavenly ghost?!"

Ying Mulan nodded and said: "And I feel that there is more than one Heavenly Ghost level existence in this incident, and there have been two abnormal prompts here in the video, does it take two attacks to deal with a containment object with the ability of Heavenly Ghosts?"

"And I think the second attack of the Celestial Oni seems to be more powerful than the first Celestial Oni, the first time the containment can self-destruct, but this time it can't even self-correct and destroy. ”

Hearing Ying Mulan say this, Shen Luo really felt like this.

Yu Hongsheng on the side also began to be silent, he pinched the remote control button in his hand, thought of the video content to be played later, and agreed: "Mulan, you are right, maybe we humans have been unknowingly involved in a battle between unknown powers!"

After speaking, he looked at Shen Luo, Yu Hongsheng was talking about human beings, but what he was thinking about was Shen Luo, because he knew that the subsequent development was obviously pointing to Shen Luo.
