Chapter 102: The Ancient Game
This kind of bright monitoring behavior makes the eight people not need to go to great lengths to make small moves.
Liu Siting knows that her behavior must be normal, otherwise she will not have a chance to return to the virtual game "World".
However, it seems that there must be some kind of ulterior secret for eight people playing ancient computer games.
……
"They know the nightmares and can enter the dream world every night. Although our people control them in the dream world, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. A researcher slid out a blank sheet of paper several times.
Someone looked at the video materials on the desktop, and the white paper was full of chaotic lines, disordered, and illogical.
The contents of the blank paper come from the crazy people in the dream world, and although the crazy people come out and regain their senses, the researchers believe that they are potential madmen and can no longer be allowed to enter the virtual game "World".
In addition, every time they fell asleep, the orange star also sent people to watch them.
The only information that can be confirmed is that the chaotic lines are related to evil gods, as is the style of the drawings drawn by the patients in the virtual game World who looked directly at the sacrifice.
The nightmare disease was born from the initial transmission of language, and the researchers directed all the clues to Cthulhu.
The evil god Cthulhu is Orange Star's worst enemy.
"Will the ancient game hide the message of the evil god Cthulhu?"
The Institute's experts raised skeptical opinions in the chamber, preconceived definitions of the actions of the eight believers as the search for Cthulhu.
"Ancient games should also be looked up to see if there is any information related to words like Cthulhu." The person in charge of public security said in a deep voice, giving the artificial intelligence instructions for the retrieval task.
The AI immediately retrieves the ancient games that remain on the server.
Such ancient games could not be played with virtual machines, only with outdated keyboard and mouse computers, and the amount of information was countless times less than that of virtual games.
The artificial intelligence searched very quickly, and besides, this is the main hospital, and the resources of the entire planet are at its disposal, and after ten minutes, the information of all computer games will be searched.
"There are no computer games of Cthulhu culture, but there are many games that include sacrificial episodes." Artificial intelligence informed.
"Sacrifice?"
"Is it possible to sacrifice Cthulhu in a computer game?"
Everyone made eye contact, and immediately switched to the computer monitoring desktop of Liu Siting and others.
I saw eight people playing a decryption game together, using a LAN to connect and decrypt together.
It doesn't matter if it's decrypted, the point is that this game happens to have a sacrifice plot searched by artificial intelligence.
In this puzzle game, the sacrificial story is not the main core, but only one of the missions.
Through investigation, the protagonists of the game discover a group of cultists playing sacrifice.
The protagonist group rescues the sacrificed child in time, and then finds a human trafficking gang that operates across provinces.
Essentially, it is a case of cracking down on the illegal trafficking of children, and sacrifice is only part of the plot.
But in the eyes of the Orange Star people, there is something very wrong with this sacrificial plot.
As soon as Liu Siting and others got started, they touched the game with a sacrificial plot and said that they were fine, but no one believed it.
"They haven't played the sacrificial process yet, but if they play for two more hours, they will get to the sacrificial plot, and my advice is to stop them from playing this game and change to a safe one." The Minister of Public Safety said in a deep voice, asking for everyone's opinions.
"I don't agree, we need to know more information, if the sacrifice ritual in the computer game is really successful, it means that the evil god Cthulhu is not limited to the virtual game World."
"There are so many games that have to do with sacrificial plots that they don't necessarily trigger anything."
The researchers had a heated discussion and split into two factions.
One faction thinks that it must be stopped, and Liu Siting and the eight suddenly shouted that they wanted to play computer games, not unprepared, this is a conspiracy of evil believers.
The other school of thought is in favor of it.
The supporters have put the lives of eight believers on a lower priority basis, hoping to use them to test the success of the computer-based sacrifice game.
Time ticked minute by minute to an hour later.
The eight of them have a preliminary contact with the prelude to the sacrificial plot mission, and they heard that there are frequent disappearances of children in a certain mountain village.
"Liu Siting" was playing well with eight people, and was suddenly told to suspend the game by the boss.
"Please pause, we have sent a psychiatrist and need to know what you think."
The psychiatrist walked in a white coat with a gentle smile on his face, as gentle as a spring breeze.
Everyone was invited to a separate kiosk, chatted on a bench, and asked each other in depth why they wanted to play the detective game.
"There's no reason, I just think I can play online with a local area network, so I play." The purple-haired Liu Siting shook her head, the reason is as simple as that, there is no other reason.
"Is there something wrong with that game?" Liu Siting knocked on the side.
The psychiatrist shook her head, but her headphones shook, and she nodded lightly, "There may be nothing wrong with the game itself, but we don't know what you want to do, so we want to find out in advance." ”
"I don't have any ideas, I just play games to relieve boredom." Liu Siting was puzzled.
"Then when you chose the game, did you choose this game specifically?"
"No, I don't, I'll pick it." Liu Siting denied it.
Half an hour later, Liu Siting returned to the computer desk again, and her companions returned to their seats at this time.
"What have you been asked?" Liu Siting asked.
"Ask me if I have any thoughts like that."
"Same, that's how they asked."
"What about you?" The seven of them turned their heads in unison and looked at Liu Siting.
Liu Siting was silent, and the seven of them were silent for three seconds, stopped asking, and continued to play the game.
In the game, the characters walk slowly under their control, following the path of the mission, entering the backward village and investigating the mystery of the child's disappearance.
The Orange Star did not ban them from playing the game, and their gaming behavior was tacitly approved by their superiors.
The stewards also heard the conversation of the eight believers and uploaded the conversation to the top.
The team of psychoanalysts is firing on fire, analyzing the minds behind several people.
"'That thought' refers to sacrifice."
"The psychiatrist didn't mention sacrifice when he asked, but the other party knew what we were trying to do, and this keen sixth sense is very similar to the group of people who have gone crazy and returned to their senses, and it is the evil god who has influenced them!"
Analysts analyzed the behavior of the eight people from various angles, and the analysis was too much, and a lot of useless information was born.
The top management ignores useless information and focuses mainly on their bizarre behavior.
"This wave can only let them take risks, for the sake of all mankind."
"Their subjective will is voluntary, no one forces them, look away."
"I'm just worried about the impact of the successful sacrifice on Orange Star, although it sounds like nonsense, but the nightmare disease has really happened, and we can't stand the new disaster."
"I don't think the sacrifice can be successful, they don't have the space-time stone powder at all, this is the necessary material for the sacrifice that the ghost said, without it, the sacrifice can't be sacrificed."
The researchers have already investigated this detective game, and there is no space-time stone powder in the game at all, which does not constitute a summoning condition.
They even sent normal game researchers to play this computer game, using background operations to fast-forward the plot and play the sacrificial plot before them.
As a result, nothing happened.
So they want to know what will happen if Cthulhu believers play this game, or if nothing will happen.
Only by understanding further and solving the mystery can we overcome the fear of the unknown.
