"What are you kidding......?"
The captain bit her lip and kept firing frantically, still trying in vain to save the situation, but whether she was only one-third of the opponent's score or her trembling hands, it showed the fact that "the tide has passed".
No matter how skilled her operation is, she is a child after all, and when she encounters the big disadvantage of being crushed, her impetuous weakness begins to be exposed.
"I said, don't bully her." Lin Chi whispered instructions to Frankenstein.
Frankenstein didn't reply, but continued to manipulate the exoskeleton and shoot the zombies at a speed that humans couldn't achieve.
- In terms of competitiveness, Frankenstein has fully reached human standards......
Seeing that the score gap was getting bigger and bigger, Lin Chi, who had cleared the game several times, also lost interest in continuing to watch the game. After all, the outcome of this "showdown" has long been in no suspense.
"Hoo ......"
Lin Chi let out a sigh of relief, stood up and was about to find an arcade machine to move his body, when the mobile phone suddenly began to vibrate.
"Who?"
"It's me, Zhou Tianhao......" The male voice on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little vague, and it sounded like he might be working overtime again.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Lin Chi turned on the noise isolation mode of his mobile phone, stood in the game hall full of gunshots, and had a conversation with his old classmates.
I said...... Do you remember the last time I asked you to investigate? What eyebrows did you find? Zhou Tianhao got straight to the point: "Our side has been very busy recently, working overtime all day long, and Lao Tzu's hair is about to fall out......"
"Isn't it already gone?" Lin Chi said with a smile.
"Go, go, I don't have time to joke." Zhou Tianhao sighed: "You can't forget, right?" The 'psychedelic' thing I asked you to help investigate earlier. ”
"I remember, but I don't have time lately." Lin Chi said.
- Zhou Tianhao did mention that a very small number of players in War Paradise were exposed to an unknown drug called "psychedelics" and then became completely insane.
At that time, Lin Chi had also investigated this information, but he couldn't find any clues, and later, with the opening of the Arena Tournament of "Sword Blade" and the invitational tournament of "War Paradise" at the same time, he didn't have time to pay attention to the problem of psychedelics.
Hearing that Zhou Tianhao was inhaling non-stop, as if he was a little nervous, Lin Chi asked, "What's wrong with the hallucinogen?" ”
"If you have time, check it for me, there have been too many things recently, and Eleven has to work overtime......" Zhou Tianhao kept complaining.
"How can I investigate if you don't give me information?" Lin Chi said angrily.
Lin Chi is also very interested in the "black history" of Pulse Entertainment Company and the abnormal situation that happened in the game "War Paradise". Being able to get information from Zhou Tianhao, who works in the Game Administration, is naturally very good for Lin Chi.
"I'm busy with the approval here, and my team is also responsible for the psychedelic matter, if you can help me, I can provide the inside story of Pulse Entertainment......" Zhou Tianhao seemed to be in a trance, and still did not answer Lin Chi's question.
"I'm going to hang up." Lin Chi threatened.
"Ah, good...... No, wait! Zhou Tianhao, who was still in the fugue, sobered up a little and said in a low voice: "I will send some of the information to your mobile phone, don't let others see it, help me with the hallucinogen, I won't treat you badly, good brother......"
"Who's your good brother?" Lin Chi complained casually, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately received an encrypted email.
Seeing that Frankenstein and the captain were in a fierce battle, Lin Chi opened the email and roughly checked the contents, the first thing that appeared in his sight was an audio file, and after clicking on it, a high-pitched male voice broke out from the headphones, making Lin Chi's hand tremble:
"Let me go back! Let me go back! Kill him...... Kill them all! Defector! ”
The man's roar was heart-palpitating, and it didn't sound like a normal human being at all, and his roar was accompanied by a snapping sound, and the shouts of doctors and nurses.
Even if he couldn't see the situation at the scene, Lin Chi still saw a man in a hospital gown tied to the hospital bed, screaming and struggling, trying to get rid of the restraints. As for the voices of the doctors and nurses in the background, a few complete words can be faintly heard:
"Sedatives, big doses!"
"Hold him, hurry!"
It is conceivable that the situation in the ward at this time is like a vegetable market where a robbery has occurred. After that audio was over, Lin Chi continued to check the following materials and obtained some other information:
The gray residue left in the vial, which has been tested by the National Toxicology Research Center, is in fact a banned stimulant.
However, the effect of this stimulant is only to make the user's consciousness become more focused and excited for a period of time. The reason why drugs are classified as contraband is not because of its side effects, but because it is often used by drug dealers to make drugs.
In other words, the man's use of "psychedelics" before entering the game is actually no different from the "drug flow" commonly used by intra-brain imaging gamers.
So, the question now is: why are only a few people who have used LSD showing symptoms of madness, while other players who have been using drugs to improve their concentration in the game have nothing to do?
The second half of the test results of the National Toxicology Research Center also clearly mentioned this problem:
"The drug does not make the patient lose his mind. Clinical studies have shown that less than one percent of patients with an overdose experience the following adverse reactions: increased blood pressure, allergic reactions (rashes), which recover within 48 hours after stopping the drug. ”
- Since this drug can't make people crazy, why did the players who ate it become like this?
"Did you come into contact with something in the game......
Recalling the situation he encountered in the "Doomsday Hotel", Lin Chi raised his head thoughtfully and looked at the glittering ceiling of the game hall.
Sometimes, psychosuggestion therapy can be very effective:
Those placebos that would not have had a very good effect, or even completely ineffective, can alleviate the condition to a certain extent as long as the drug is made to convince the drug to be effective through psychological suggestion, and even the situation of being cured by taking placebos has even occurred.
Jane, who was trapped in the world of consciousness and lying on the hospital bed unable to move, was "awakened" by a placebo to break the invisible barrier that bound her.
So, will the drugs taken by patients who have been driven crazy by psychedelics be nothing more than placebos? What really drove them into madness wasn't the hallucinogens, but the things they were exposed to in the game?
"Ha ......"
Lin Chi smiled, turned off the mail for the time being, and used the throat microphone to say to Frankenstein, who was still playing the game:
"Stop bullying the little girl, I need your help."
