Maandala is set that if an avatar does not conflict for more than six months, it will die by default and be sent to the graveyard. Avatars sent to the Graveyard cannot be resurrected or summoned again.

But these Avatars are still alive and visible to the naked eye, and they are not going to be wiped out like the Avatars who died in the Land of Games.

Have you ever been to a cemetery?

Have you ever seen the Haunted Place?

Almost every newcomer to Maandala is asked questions like this. It was a mysterious and fascinating place.

Fang Chi rarely came to the cemetery in the past. Maybe it's because she's been exposed to death too much in reality, and she doesn't need a lifeless place to help her see what death looks like. She also had no relatives or friends to mourn her deceased, and when her father was alive, there was no Maandala in this world. And Sheng Yan's Avatar ...... Now it's not far in front of her.

The cemetery is filled with a thick milky white mist, and the visibility is only a few tens of meters, like a small town in the classic horror movie "Silent Hill".

This environment design relieves the pressure on the Maandala server in a certain way. Maandala is a world of limits. This infinity not only means that the entire space of Maandala is infinite, but also that special realms such as the place of games and the graveyard are also infinite and boundless.

But there are already too many dead avatars in the graveyard, and with the fog mask, the computing power required to render the image is greatly reduced.

The dead Avatar, referred to here as the "Ghost", appeared in Fang Chi's field of vision with 60% transparency. Fang Chi knew that some of these ghosts were random, and some of them appeared according to Maandala's specific algorithm. In general, ghosts that are more interactive and connected during life are more likely to appear in front of you. For example, a daughter has a higher chance of seeing her father's ghost, while an Avatar, who loves to sing, has a greater chance of seeing Beyoncé's ghost.

No one knows what kind of malice or warmth Teng Hua wrote the "cemetery" part of the program back then. The initial setting of any part of Maandala can change, but the Graveyard never exists. The creation of the cemetery even preceded the birth of the Maandala team. There are many people who speculate that Teng Hua wrote "Cemetery" in the middle of the night while drinking beer and eating fried peanuts, and some people speculate that Teng Hua wrote "Cemetery" because his first girlfriend died in a plane crash in the Atlantic, and there was no trace for him to remember like a wild goose crossing the cold pool, so he used "Cemetery" to leave all the Avatars of the deceased, and he himself is still alone.

There was no dead silence in the cemetery. From time to time, a ghost who loved to play pranks screamed and pounced on her, and a ghost who loved to play Minecraft cut down tree after tree. The trees in the cemetery will come back to life in an instant after they are cut down, and the ghosts that have lost the ability to think will always hold on to the tree, like Sisyphus pushing a stone up the mountain.

There are quite a few Avatars who come to wander in the cemetery. This made Fang Chi track "しと" more at ease. Otherwise, at a range of only a few tens of meters in visibility, it would be too easy for him to spot someone following him.

Fang Chi saw the Avatar of a college teacher. It was a philosophy teacher who made a name for himself teaching public philosophy classes in Maandala's virtual classroom. What few people know, however, is that his only son died of illness at the age of sixteen.

She hadn't seen the teacher in a long time. And he didn't use the paid feature of "Forever Young", and his Avatar has become gray-haired and rickety over time. Beside him stood a ghost in the shape of a teenager. He looked intently at the young man, and he said, "Youth." The young man smiled and said, "You were also like me, and I will be as happy as you." Who dares to say that although tens of millions of people have gone to me, who will hold 200 million years in their hands. "Suppressed and frustrated, high-spirited. And he said, "What about youth." The young man smiled again and said, "You were also as young as me, and I will be as happy as you." Who dares to say that although tens of millions of people have gone to me, who will hold 200 million years in their hands. "It's still a subdued tone, it's still high-spirited, and the tone and demeanor are exactly the same as Fang Cai. And he wept, and said, "Youth." The apparition of the boy seemed tireless, repeating it over and over again as he did.

This is the scariest part of the cemetery.

Every word Avatar said and made in social networks during his lifetime will sink into a black realm with Avatar's death.

The reason why that black field is a black field is because all the numbers in it are irreversibly encrypted. Even if someone cracks it, it will destroy itself as it is cracked.

This means that ghosts can be awakened by specific people and specific languages.

How many people are crying in the cemetery. Their lost loved ones are still able to talk to them as they did in the past, as if they were still alive. How many people come to the cemetery to call "Mom", and the ghost of their mother will still blame them with resentment for why they don't dress more, why they don't go to bed on time, as they did when they were alive. Even though they were so tired of these words during their lifetimes that they didn't even want to go home, they just met their parents' Avatar in Maandala. However, after the death of their parents, they are left with only the ghost of Maandala to remember.

This is Teng Hua's malice, and Teng Hua's warmth. He drew people to Maandala, but he tried to drive them away and get them back to warm, real people.

Fang Chi looked at the teacher's Avatar and the young ghost beside him.

Ghosts never get tired. Only his Avatar would be tired, old, and eventually die, and be in this cemetery as well. And after that, the two ghosts may never meet again, and they will never know each other.

The cemetery, after all, is a place to witness life and death.

Fang Chi followed "しと" not far away. "しと" doesn't seem to have a goal, just walking in the cemetery. There were many ghosts around him, many of whom she knew, former alumni, or well-known programmers or hackers. She was not surprised by this, after all, Sheng Yan's label was a top student of the School of Information Science of Yan University.

However, when a ghost with dark circles on his head appeared, Fang Chi was shocked.

It's Creeper! Creeper, one of the Three Musketeers!

When the Three Musketeers were popular all over Maandala, there were even three of their Avatar figurines for sale on the Internet! Many of the new students of the Yan Daxin Academy of Sciences are equipped with a set of hands and are provided in the dormitory as idols.

So she wouldn't be mistaken for this ghost: Creeper made no secret of her love for the migrant manga Naruto, and even the image in Avatar was made to look like I'Airo, carrying a giant gourd on his back. It's just that he's always been lazy, and Avatar has gradually gained weight, and he can't carry the huge gourd, so he simply becomes smaller and wears it on the top of his head, which has since become Creeper's signature outfit.

So Creeper disappeared, did he pass away?

Fang Chi was a little incredulous. She looked at Creeper again. In her memory, Creeper was the most easy-going and optimistic of the Three Musketeers, always happy. And this ghost is also smiling all the time, and its chubby body is dangling.

It doesn't have to be dead, either. It may also be that I gave up this account, this Avatar, and re-refined one.

But Fang Chi had a hard time convincing himself. No one knows how precious an account like Creeper is in the earliest days. Almost no one would choose to abandon the first batch of Maandala accounts to be opened for registration. Even Sheng Yan, who didn't care about Maandala's property in her eyes, still used this oldest Avatar.

Fang Chi noticed that "しと" also seemed to be interested in Creeper, and stopped to stare at Creeper. There was no expression on his face, and he still didn't speak.

But he watched it for a long time.

Of the Three Musketeers, except for Guest, T.N.T, and Creeper have not been seen for many years, and the time for the remaining Guests to land in Maandala is getting shorter and shorter. What has happened to the Three Musketeers? Creeper appeared in the cemetery today, and if "しと" walked again, would he see the ghost of T.N.T again?

However, just when she was thinking so, "しと" turned back.

Fang Chi was eager to ask what had happened to Creeper. Watching "しと" disappear into the white mist, she walked towards Creeper.

"Hi, hello, Creeper."

Creeper narrowed his smile: "Hello, my agent is T.N.T, I'm playing games, don't bother me." ”

Fang Chi wanted to laugh a little. How lazy Creeper was back then. After the Three Musketeers became famous, there were all kinds of people who wanted to find them. You can imagine the way Creeper and T.N.T got along at that time, Creeper was quite an egoistic person who disdained fame and fortune, and all those messy things dealing with others were taken care of by T.N.T.

"What happened back then?"

"The canteen of the farm was bombed, and the new canteen was rebuilt, so the farm became the best canteen in Yanda."

"Why are the Three Musketeers separated?"

"The fine water can't wait for a long stream, and the knife has already cut off the love and hatred. My dear friend, it's better to have a song. ”

“……”

Fang Chi was speechless. Creeper's answer is that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth. She understood that the ghost's answer was triggered by the keyword. Based on the keyword, the cemetery program will call the corresponding text record in the ghost's social network to match the answer.

So Fang Chi said: "Last words." ”

Creeper didn't answer, he smiled, "Hee-hee." ”

"Finally."

"Pull it down after the exam!"

"For a lifetime."

"I really like Ted Kang's novels. "The Story of Your Life" is so well written! ”

"Disease."

"What?"

"Death."

"Don't be afraid." Creeper said.

Fang Chi closed his mouth.

Perhaps there is no point in pursuing such a claim.

But she vaguely understood something in her heart. If Creeper is indeed dead, then he is most likely an unnatural death.

Only a person who dies unnaturally can not calmly or nostalgically leave any language about death in social networks.

She waved at Creeper. Creeper smiled, still walking around the place, and finally, still farther and farther away, disappearing into the fog.

Fang Chi hurried to the door of the cemetery, and saw that "しと" got on a shuttle train, but she was too late to catch up.

She looked around and looked around, but the next shuttle train wouldn't arrive until 10 minutes later. This time, she remembered her identity as a caretaker, opened the menu and selected the number of the shuttle train, and instantly entered the train car. The other Avatars in the carriage all stared at her like they had seen a ghost.

Fang Chi turned a blind eye and looked at the "しと". Fortunately, he was standing by the porthole, his tall body with his back to her.

"Ding" sounded again and again, the train kept arriving at the station, and "しと" stood still without moving. Fang Chi looked at him from the side with an expression that was as cold as frost as a stone carving.

She's not used to expressions like "しと", she really isn't used to it.

Terminus: Chiba Castle. There were still three or four people left in the carriage, including her and "しと". Exiting, this is a place like the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. At this time, it was night, and the Avatars on the road were full of people, looking strange, but they were all holding an umbrella in their hands.

"しと" walked on the road, and Fang Chi's Avatar followed him not far away. The density of avatars in Chiba City is very high, and there are a lot of avatars like her who use the "zombie era", and she doesn't worry that "しと" will recognize her. And he didn't seem to notice that he was being followed, and he didn't look back.

Chiba Castle knew about it, but he didn't come. When Maandala first opened, it had its own map, both urban and rural. However, later on, more and more users were in demand, and land prices were in short supply, and land prices skyrocketed. Many Avatars could not bear the high price of land and began to explore the land - which is why Teng Hua did not open a new official map in Maandala. He wants to give users the greatest degree of freedom and the greatest space for creativity. He insists on one thing: the more invested a user is in Maandala, the deeper their affection for Maandala.

Chiba Castle was one of the first cities to be pioneered. With such a name, I don't know if the creators of zào are paying homage to the science fiction novel "Neuro Wanderer".

Fang Chi observed the environment around him as he walked. The high-rise buildings are densely packed and towering into the sky. Mushroom clouds of steam erupted from the tall chimneys of the city, and the sky exposed between the cracks in the tall buildings was gray and hazy, with a low sense of oppression.

All the buildings are in a dilapidated state, like the end of the world. In order to encourage users to pioneer, Maandala has accelerated the depreciation of unofficially built buildings, so these houses in Chiba Castle, which have been built for just over five years, look like houses that have been built for 500 years.

Not long after walking, the night began to fall with a fine rain. The rain soon became a curtain of rain, and the dense neon lights reflected a large number of colorful colors. The Avatars spread their umbrellas.

Fang Chi didn't care about the rain, but she soon discovered that the rain here was acidic, and when it fell on her Avatar, it had a corrosive effect - no wonder those Avatars carried umbrellas with them, and even more so that in five years, the houses in the city had become like haunted houses.

The founders of this Chiba Castle are really superb. Such an atmosphere cannot be set like this by Maandala, it must have been modified by high-level players using mods (modifications, game mods, modifications or enhancements to game settings) to make the post-apocalyptic atmosphere here even stronger.

Fang Chi secretly sneered, quickened his pace, and turned into a narrow street with "しと", which was decorated with beauty and flashiness. Many scantily dressed and ostentatious girls stood on the side of the road, holding umbrellas and beckoning customers. When they saw "しと", their eyes lit up.

"Yikes! Gold Lord! "This is the first Avatar! I haven't touched it yet! "This Avatar...... Ah, how strong! It is the best! ”

They are unscrupulous in judging the "しと" product. Each avatar has access to the public information of the other avatars. Public information can be hidden or false, but Avatar's age is mandatory. A hardcore Avatar like しと basically made a fortune in Maandala by stir-frying the land through guò. The wealth in Maandala cannot be used in the real world, so the hardcore Avatar also means spending a lot of money on boldness and powerful abilities. In the eyes of these girls, it is like a fat fish.

The girls have held up umbrellas for "しと",In the midst of countless amazements,Many hands touched しと's Avatar,Hug his arm,Hook his waist。 Coquettish、Begging.,Do everything you can to get the guest "しと".

"しと" didn't refuse to come.,Let this group of girls half-drag and half-hug into a palace-like building next to it decorated with a large number of amethysts.。

If Fang Chi could calmly follow "しと" before to see what he was going to do, at this time, she couldn't let this person mess around anymore.

Sheng Yan's Avatar, can he do this?!
