After sleeping for a while, I got up at about half past seven, had a little breakfast, and basically made an appointment with Uncle Qu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when he stepped forward to answer the door, he found that the person who came to the door was not Uncle Qu as he expected, but his childhood sweetheart girl Qu Lingyun.

"I'm sorry, my dad won't be here today, it seems that the first few people who were confirmed to be missing suddenly appeared last night, and as a result, the rest he had originally arranged was canceled, not to mention, everyone in the police force is on standby, just waiting for the missing person in the search department to confirm the situation, and then go to organize a rescue, so you can have a good rest today - by the way, have you finished your homework? If not, you can come to my house, I contacted Xia Wanying and Nan Xianai yesterday for a study meeting, and we can do our homework together. ”

Regarding Qu Lingyun's proposal, Bai Ze could only thank Bumin's gentle words and declined, not to mention that his homework was completed in less than two hours as early as Friday after school, even if he didn't move a penny, he was not ready to join in the fun.

"Well, it's a pity, if you change your mind, you're always welcome to join - the appointed time is coming, I'm going to go back and prepare."

Qu Lingyun, who didn't bother to let Bai Ze pass, because there were still some things to do at home, he was easily persuaded to leave.

After seeing Qu Lingyun leave, Bai Ze thought about it and projected the "automatic secretary" on his retina that had completed the transformation of the magic eye, so his "itinerary" after intelligence collection and data collation appeared in front of him like a laser projection.

"Hmm...... Those who went missing turned out to be back? How could it be so coincidental. ”

Bai Ze muttered to himself, always feeling that this matter was strange everywhere, speaking of the first bizarre disappearance, it seemed to happen about three weeks ago, and at that time, it was the first time he traveled to the Moon World, and this time he had just completed another round trip - when he thought of the relevance of this, he always felt that no matter how he thought about it, it had a little inexplicable relationship with himself.

Because if he didn't know about this matter, he always felt that he would not be able to travel to the plane with peace of mind in the future, and he was too idle to do anyway, so he simply went to the university town to go shopping, especially there are many restaurants with a particularly good reputation and cheap prices, he has long wanted to find an opportunity to go there to eat something, and this time he will fulfill this wish by the way.

After getting dressed, I went out before nine o'clock and walked in the direction of the university town where the college district was located, which was located from the back hill to the mountainside.

Although it is generally nicknamed "University Town", the real name is "College District", because it gathers three universities and technical schools scattered all over the city, basically built around the lake, and occupies the entire mountainside, which is not inferior to other urban areas in terms of area, which is called University City, which has a variety of complete infrastructure and entertainment facilities, and the so-called "commercial street at the gate of the University City" has actually been part of the College District, but because it is connected to the nearby blocks, It is completely open to the public, unlike many in-house facilities, which only accept student cards for payment, and are considered semi-detached from the college district.

Because after Qu Lingyun left, Bai Ze specially sent a text message to inquire about the situation of the missing people who were found, and found that one thing that those people had in common, that is, they all went to a private Internet café near that street to play on the way back - they could only check information on the Internet, but they couldn't play those popular online games, so it is not surprising that those people would go to the Internet café located in the outer "neutral zone" to play games, as for the reason for the disappearance, it is not clear for the time being.

Although it is not clear exactly how many Internet cafes have the problem, but the suspicious targets have been greatly reduced, so it is natural that they are not afraid to go over and see the situation with their own eyes.

After leaving the house, he got on the bus, and arrived at the entrance of the university town in about ten minutes, and it didn't take long for him to find one of the Internet cafes crowded with all kinds of college students - I have to say, if it weren't for the crowds of college students, he would have found this hidden place where the store was hidden on the third floor of the building where the large supermarket was located.

Although the location of this Internet café is remote and difficult to find, it is not as dirty and messy as Bai Ze imagined, but quite clean, spacious and neat, with wide and thin LCD screens standing in rows on the table, spacious and comfortable black leather chairs full of young people dressed in different clothes, I don't know how to look over, and I thought I had accidentally come to the office building of a large enterprise.

Everyone sat there quietly playing games with headphones on, and the few who chattered there and gave orders, and basically looked for the kind of small room in a single house, which not only had better facilities and good sound absorption, but also did not affect other people.

And in the corner of this Internet café,There are also two "holographic game cabins" that have just been launched this year,It looks like a separate small room,There are a lot of people around there to "rub and see",It seems quite lively,Not to mention,It also makes people have to admire the equipment here-although this thing caused a sensation when it first went on the market,But it's not the kind of science fiction that allows people to experience virtual life in a state of shallow sleep Dream device,Although in the form of holographic projection, The scenery is presented with naked-eye 3D images and extraordinary visual effects with an ultra-wide-angle range of more than 270 degrees, but it is not a "virtual reality" or "mental projection" technology like black technology.

Although a higher degree of somatosensory operation is achieved through advanced muscle signal capture devices, the game mode exceeds an era of games in the same period, but not to mention the high price of this set of equipment, and the large area that ordinary people simply can't afford, just its small shipments, it is enough to make the vast majority of players who have no power and no back door to go to it, and because the supporting game development costs and difficulties are extremely high, there is still only one initial game specially developed for this to choose from, Therefore, the majority of game lovers who have leisure but no money will give up this new type of game, and only those enthusiasts with rich financial resources will cheer for it, but because the difficulty of the game is too high, it still belongs to the category of applause - I don't know why, I always feel that the positioning of this game gives people a very familiar feeling.

"Sorry, little brother, we're not open for minors here."

As soon as he walked in, he was stopped by the staff behind the counter at the door, and then politely persuaded him to leave.

However, he didn't come to play, and after explaining that he was just looking for someone, he ignored him anymore, so he immediately walked in.

When he stood at the door before, he still felt something, but when he got closer, Bai Ze suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

"Huh? Those two holographic game warehouses feel so strange—"

Because Bai Ze is also the first time to see this kind of once been noisy, but in the past year, he has not seen the real face because every sale has been sold out, at this moment he can have the opportunity to see its true appearance, and I don't know that the owner of this store can "grab" two from there - judging from the posters posted around, the two machines in this Internet café seem to have just been bought for less than two months, considering that after a year, this device seems to have cooled down a little, It's not that it's incomprehensible.

But the surprise he felt at the moment was not from the subtle difference from the pictures he felt when he first saw this game pod that looked like a small room, but from the fact that with his "spatial perception" ability, which had been taken to the next level, he discovered that there was a "Shadow Portal" that was very weak in spatial response, but extremely stable!

When he approached, the boy was completely embarrassed, because he suddenly found that no matter how you look at the game screen, it is basically a copy of the shadow world, although the scenery displayed in it is not the same as what he has seen, but the colorful sky is no different, not to mention that he can clearly feel the unique "charm" of the special energy fluctuations from the shadow world within his reach, although this energy seems to be well blocked by the special wall of this game cabin, However, the player who plays the game in the cabin will undoubtedly be imperceptibly eroded and influenced, and this insidious method of slow and irreversible transformation of uncertain objects is full of a strong sense of déjà vu no matter how you look at it.

And after observing for a while, he has confirmed that the game that is going on in this game cabin at this moment is simply the real scene of a certain shadow space that he has never been to, and thinking about it this way, the character controlled by the player is most likely to appear in that alien space as a physical entity, it seems that this is why this game can achieve naked-eye 3D under the principle of non-optics, and the same real sense of operation experience as reality, and it has been a year now, but there is still no second set of new games corresponding to it- Because this is not a game at all, but can be regarded as a rather alternative "Earth Online", because everything you experience in this game is a projection of reality that really happens in the film world!

From this point of view, Bai Ze knows why there are always people complaining about this game's "empty plot", "anti-human difficulty" and "the game feels too terrifying", not to mention that the film world is an objective world, the game process is basically exploration and combat, and naturally there will be no plot at all; After considering the number of people who play the game every day and the frequency of replacement, it is conceivable that the strength of those "puppets" that are made into the incarnation of players is definitely shoddy, and it is not surprising that there will be a situation where they will be killed by a single blow like Contra, although if you practice for a long time, your survivability and combat ability will become stronger, but it is inevitable that you will be unfriendly to first-time contacters; As for "physical horror", just think about it, if you play a real haunted scene in a haunted house, and those ghosts that appear are completely in their true colors, the sense of fear and realism that can be generated is definitely far greater than the virtual plot that humans make up to scare themselves.
