Ye Ning stayed in the hospital for one night and was discharged at noon the next day. The doctor said that the main reason was that he was too frightened, and he knocked the back of his head when he fell, and there was a slight concussion, which was fine.

After being discharged from the hospital, the police went to Ye Ning's house to make a record for her. Ye Ning, together with his parents and Sha Bai, sat in the living room with several police officers and began to tell what happened the night before.

That night, she did a scientific practice in the medicinal herb garden. The actual yàn time is relatively long, and it needs to be done all the way to the evening.

After seven o'clock in the evening, the other employees in the herb garden left work. At this time, Ding Zhaotian, who was full of alcohol, suddenly appeared in the real room and began to tease Ye Ning, Ye Ning was taken aback, thinking that Ding Zhaotian was drunk and fainted, so he warned him sternly. But Ding Zhaotian didn't care about Ye Ning's warning, but intensified his efforts and began to use his hands and feet against Ye Ning.

Ye Ning was not an ordinary weak woman, Ding Zhaotian made a move on her, and she immediately fought back. At the beginning, Ding Zhaotian did not take any advantage, but was almost subdued by Ye Ning.

"When his hand came to my shoulder, I grabbed his left wrist joint with both hands, and then with a reversal, I pressed him to the ground. Ye Ning said while recalling, "I had already restrained him, but he suddenly put his right hand into his jacket pocket and took out something and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, and then suddenly roared a few times, and his strength suddenly became very strong, and he broke free from my grasp and got up from the ground lightly."

I saw that something was wrong, and I started to retreat. As he approached, I threw what I could reach at him and ducked backwards as I hit him. At the same time, I took out my mobile phone and called Sha Bai and called him to come and save me.

Ding Zhaotian became very strange after swallowing that thing, not only did his strength increase, but the whole person seemed to have become rough and thick, and the things I threw hit him, and he didn't seem to have a pain reaction at all. Just smirked and approached me step by step. I ran from the first floor to the third floor, constantly throwing everything I could find in the hallway and smashing him, until I reached the third floor, there was nowhere to hide, and finally he grabbed me by the hair. I struggled a few times, lifted my foot and kicked him hard at his feet, which seemed to anger him, and he grabbed my hair and threw it back, and I fell to the ground on my back and fainted. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. ”

After the police officers finished the transcript and left, Ye Ning whispered to Shabai, "What happened last night seems to be related to this pendant, I didn't dare to say it just now." ”

"Something to do with the pendant?" Sha Bai was taken aback.

"Hmm," Ye Ning nodded. "Yesterday afternoon, Ding Zhaotian saw the pendant around my neck and asked me where the pendant came from, and I told him that he bought it from a stall. When he heard this, he began to ask me tentatively if I could transfer this pendant to him, and he could pay a high price, but of course I refused. Ding Zhaotian didn't say anything at that time, but then something happened at night. In the evening he broke in with the strength of the wine, said a lot of teasing things to me, and then did something to me, ostensibly for me, but I had a feeling that the whole thing was actually aimed at the pendant I was wearing. ”

Sha Bai frowned, "You mean, he deliberately looks drunk and promiscuous, just a superficial article, but in fact, what he really wants is this pendant?"

Ye Ning nodded, "Well, I feel this way. ”

Sha Bai suddenly thought that when he arrived on the third floor, Ding Zhaotian seemed to be about to reach out and pick something from Ye Ning's neck!

Could it be that Ding Zhaotian could also feel the aura inside the pendant?

Sha Bai solemnly said to Ye Ning, "Don't wear this pendant in the future, put it away." It seems that we are not the only ones who can feel the aura. Also, what did he swallow, and you didn't see it at all?"

Ye Ning shook his head and said, "He has his back to me, I can't see it." ”

At noon the next day, the police station told Sha Bai to take notes.

Sha Bai arrived at the police station, finished talking with the police, and was about to get up and leave, when a police officer who was walking in at the door suddenly greeted him, and Sha Bai looked up and saw that it was Officer Chen, who had met in the Yang Volcano incident last time.

Officer Chen smiled and said to Sha Bai: "Last time Yang Volcano, without you, we would be in danger. I haven't had a chance to thank you, but I met today, let's go, let's go have a meal together. ”

The two found a small restaurant and chatted while eating.

Speaking of Ding Zhaotian, Officer Chen sighed a little, "We searched Ding Zhaotian's residence, that kid is a game maniac, and his family actually has a brain simulation helmet. That kind of helmet is very expensive, it seems to cost more than 400,000 yuan, and the average player goes to the game franchise store to use the helmet, and he actually buys a pair and puts it at home, and it looks like a child of a rich family. You said that this kid, his family is rich, highly educated, and still working in college, what a good future, he actually did such a thing, and it was all ruined at once. Now the person is still lying in the hospital, and he may not wake up. ”

Sha Bai asked casually: "The brain experience helmet is so expensive?"

Officer Chen shook his head, "Not all brain experience helmets are expensive, but the brain experience helmet of the game Rising Star is very expensive, and it claims to use the world's most advanced brain simulation technology, which can provide players with a completely realistic feeling." ”

"Rising Star?" Sha Bai's heart moved, as if he had heard the name of the game somewhere.

"Well, this game is very popular, and it is said that the number of players in the world exceeds a billion. The game's advertising slogan is," Officer Chen tilted his head in thought, "well, "without so much struggle, Rising Star can allow you to experience a qiē success." That's what it means, the feeling of playing this game is very real, and players can experience things in the game that they can't get in real life. ”

"Sounds tempting. Sha Bai smiled, "You don't have to struggle to experience success." ”

Officer Chen also smiled, "yes." So it's very popular. However, there are also some people who oppose the development of this kind of game, believing that it will make people lose the spirit of struggle, and some even say that this game will cause people to go insane. By the way, Ding Zhaotian's parents told us that after Ding Zhaotian played this game, his personality changed greatly. Becomes more withdrawn and irritable. ”

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Sha Bai's eyes widened.

He finally remembered where he had heard the name Rising Star. The curator in the last museum case, it seems that the cause of death is also related to this game. Is there a connection between this?

After having dinner with Officer Cheng, Sha Bai went to a game experience store, and he wanted to try the game for himself.

The customer service staff at the game store first introduced Sha Bai to the game, and then took him to a brain simulation experience room.

The game of Rising Stars is divided into three entrances: "Monopoly", "Big Boss", and "Big Dragon". Inside the three entrances, players can enter the virtual business field, officialdom field, and underworld field respectively, and experience the feeling of being a winner in life after struggling and succeeding in various fields. Players are free to set the scene map of the game.

Sha Bai chose the entrance of "Monopoly". In the choice of map, he chose the city of Linhai that he was familiar with.

The customer service staff put a brain simulation helmet on Sha Bai and asked him to lie down on the experience bed. Then press the helmet button and start the game.

In an instant, the streets of Linhai City appeared in front of Sha Bai's eyes, and he was standing on the side of the road.

Sha Bai was taken aback, and he immediately recognized that this was the intersection of Xuanwu Road and Guanghua Road, two blocks away from Linhai University.

It's so realistic!, Sha Bai sighed in his heart. The scenery shown on the map is exactly the same as the real scene of Linhai City!

In the game, Sha Bai is set as a recent college graduate looking for a job. He walked along the street, and after half an hour, he reached the gate of Linhai University.

The spicy noodle stall at the school gate is the same!

Sha Bai's curiosity aroused, he walked to the spicy noodle stall and ordered a bowl of spicy noodles. The boss of the spicy powder came over to collect the money, and the appearance of this boss was exactly the same as the real person at the school gate!

Sha Bai ate the noodles, looked up and asked the boss tentatively, "At the gate of this school, there used to be a mother-in-law who sold sweet potatoes, have you seen her recently?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, I'm sorry. The boss shook his head and walked away.

Sha Bai in the game soon had a series of good luck. As a recent college graduate, I was first favored by a world-famous big computer company and became the chief software designer. Then he jumped ship and formed his own company and developed antivirus software that can be used all over the world. After several years of struggle in the mall, he quickly became a figure on the rich list.

Money, beauty, fame, status, all of them are there. Then there are all kinds of luxuries and enjoyments.

In short, a qiē is so smooth and cool.

Sha Bai stood in the 60-story office building of his company in the center of the city, looking at the brightly lit night scene outside the fallen leaf window.

"It's a game," Sha Bai reminded himself.

He took a few deep breaths and entered the realm of "breath". The original god appeared, and in an instant, the small game experience room appeared in front of him.

Shabai got up from the bed and walked out of the playroom. The customer service outside the door was surprised when he saw him, "The time hasn't come yet, you actually quit the game by yourself?"

"I still have some things to do, and it will be a waste of time to play any more. Sha Bai smiled.

The customer service still looked at him with a stunned expression, "Players in the game will forget about the actual environment for a while. When the time for topping up is up, the system will automatically withdraw the player from the game. You recharge for three hours, and the time has not yet expired, how can you exit the game by yourself?"

"Oh, I guess I didn't have a helmet just now, so I was able to quit the game by myself. Sha Bai said lightly.

Players of the Rising Stars game will completely lose awareness of the actual environment they are in, and their consciousness will be completely immersed in the game, and they will not be able to leave the game on their own initiative, so they can only wait for the game time to come, and the system will push the player out of the game. After being pushed, the player can regain awareness of the actual environment.

Sha Bai was able to voluntarily quit the game when the game time had not yet arrived, so the customer service was very surprised.

Back in the small courtyard in the evening, Sha Bai carefully searched the news about the Rising Stars game on the Internet.

Since he was a child, Sha Bai has always lived a relatively financially stressful life, busy with his livelihood and studies, and has never been exposed to expensive brain experience games.

Most of the brain simulation games of the 22nd century can provide a more realistic experience, and the player's awareness of the actual environment will be somewhat weakened after entering the game. However, it can completely deprive the player of the actual environment, and the Rising Star is the first and only one.

Entering the game will result in a complete loss of awareness of the actual environment, which may pose a security risk to the player. Because of this, the Rising Star was extremely controversial at the beginning of its release, and it was not even approved for listing within a year after it was first developed. But the game's developer, DSF in the United States, has strong PR capabilities. Through extensive lobbying and PR activities, they overcame various obstacles, eventually silenced dissent, and the game gradually became a global circulation with more than a billion players worldwide.

There have also been some negative reports about the game on the Internet, saying that some players have problems with their cranial nerves due to their long-term immersion in the game. But such reports are rare. Apparently it was suppressed or covered up in some way.

Sha Bai thinks back to when he was playing a game. During the game, he did not completely lose his awareness of the actual environment. On the one hand, you can see the various situations in the game, and on the other hand, you are always aware of the environment in the game room you are in. Obviously, this is because he has been trained in the Yuan Shen. While the Consciousness God is lost in the game environment, the Genshin remains aware of the actual environment.

The spiritual cultivator who has been trained in the spirit seems to be the nemesis of this game.

It's kind of interesting.
