Three steps and two steps rushed to the ninth floor, Lin Chi stood at the top of the stairs and listened, making sure that the footsteps in the corridor had disappeared, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Having already fought the guards once, he knew very well that the guards didn't have a very high IQ. Presumably now, this group of stupid men in black should still be looking at each other at the murderous "murder scene" on the fifth floor.

However, after a brutal hand-to-hand combat, new problems arise:

You have to find a way to change your clothes, or the guards will still be eyeing you.

- Wearing a shirt stained dark red with blood, even a fool can see that something is wrong. Even if the guards don't want them, the other players will definitely see through their identity at a glance. It is equivalent to having its own "full-band scanning" effect.

Maybe in the office, there will be suits left by those office workers or something?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi first observed the map and made sure that there were no other players nearby. He opened the nearest wooden door and walked into an office.

Unsure if the sniper was still aiming at the building, he was much more alert this time, avoiding the window and bending around the office. No clothes were found.

Leaving the office and opening the door next door, the shutters in the room were closed, dimming the light in the room, but also blocking the sniper's view.

Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the very neat desk in front of him.

"Is anyone there?" He spoke.

A wisp of white air wafted from the coffee cup on the table, and the computer chair opposite was still trembling slightly. Clearly, someone was hiding in this office, and - it couldn't be the player.

Recalling what the chef of the small restaurant downstairs said to himself, "NPCs seem to have feelings", Lin Chi didn't say anything, just pulled out a carbon steel saber and held it in his hand, and walked into the room lightly.

――"Whether AI can develop self-awareness" is a cliché, but it is one of the few topics that interests Lin Chi.

As for why he cares so much about AI, it is also because of an experience five years ago.

The faint sound of breathing from behind the desk interrupted Lin Chi's "Memory Kill", and he walked over slowly, before he could see what was behind him, the first thing that caught his eye was a sharp cold light-

The moment the knife stabbed, Lin Chi had already taken a step forward, staggered the tip of the knife that stabbed at her, and then grabbed the opponent's slender wrist and twisted it slightly, and the knife in her hand immediately fell to the ground.

"I'm going to call the police!" A painful female voice shook Lin Chi's eardrums.

"Shh......h Don't scream. Lin Chi put down the saber in his hand, put his index finger to his lips to signal her not to make a sound, and at the same time did not forget to kick the fruit knife that fell on the ground aside.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the long-haired glasses lady who was choked by his wrist: this woman was wearing a dark professional attire, her facial expression was very frightened, and her visual age should be about twenty-five years old.

Lin Chi stared at the woman for a few seconds, and no name or symbol popped up above her head.

In this way, she should be an ordinary NPC just like the passers-by on the street.

"I won't hurt you." Lin Chi whispered,

Although his voice sounded very sincere, it was a pity that the bloodstained clothes on his body, coupled with the unwiped scarlet spots on his face, suddenly reduced the persuasiveness of this sentence to a negative number.

"Don't kill me...... Don't kill me......" The woman's slender body trembled, obviously frightened.

"I won't kill you." Lin Chi took the woman's wrist and took two steps back, dragged a computer chair next to him over, and motioned for her to sit down: "I just want to ask you a few questions." ”

“……”

The woman with glasses was still shivering, but she sat down obediently. She obviously knew very well that even if she resisted, she would not be an opponent of this man.

Seeing that the other party had finally quieted down, Lin Chi didn't ask a question immediately, just stared at the other party's face with interest, as well as the pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.

――Is this woman really just an ordinary NPC?

Even after only a brief exchange, Lin Chi could still see that this woman's IQ level was higher than those passers-by and city guards outside.

She doesn't scream, run away, and call the police like other programmed NPCs. Instead, he hid in this room and took a fruit knife to defend himself. While this reaction may also be designed, it ......

"What are you asking?" The woman rubbed her right wrist with her left hand. Looking at her eyes closed, she seemed to have resigned herself to fate.

"Are you a native here?" Lin Chi asked the first question.

"No, I'm just here to work, and I don't know any secrets." The woman's voice was very fast, and she added: "Don't kill me......"

Hearing this, Lin Chi asked again: "How long have you been here?" ”

"It's been about three months." The woman said with a wince.

"Oh."

Lin Chi glanced thoughtfully at the blinds.

――The three months in the game are only nine days in the real world if you calculate them according to the ratio of time in the real world and the brain imaging game.

If he remembers correctly, the game "War Paradise" was officially opened for testing nine days ago.

Is this a coincidence?

Realizing that something was not quite right, Lin Chi continued to ask, "In your opinion, is there anything strange about this city?" ”

The woman didn't speak, just looked at him with a shudder.

"I mean other than me." Lin Chi added.

"Ah......" The woman came back to her senses and said, "It's actually quite good here, it's just a bit chaotic, you can hear gunshots and explosions every day, and I heard that there are many murderous criminals in the city......"

Speaking of this, the woman glanced at Lin Chi's bloodstained shirt again, and then looked away as if she was very scared.

"'Murderous criminals'." Lin Chi secretly repeated her words in his heart.

It sounds like "murderous criminals" should be talking about the players who enter this map. And the three months she said are exactly in line with the length of time the game has been launched.

But Lin Chi knew that things were obviously not so simple-

Since the launch of the server, countless players have participated in the test, and tens of thousands of people have also been lined up on this map at the same time that he has been ranked on the map of "City of Chaos".

If the NPCs in the game are self-aware, then how should this "parallel world" problem be handled? Putting a different individual AI into each map in the game would be a lot of work, even with the most powerful supercomputers out there.

- Is this woman really just an ordinary NPC, and is her words just an easter egg?

Lin Chi was thinking about it when the sound of an explosion outside the window interrupted his thoughts. He stood in front of the shutter and lifted a corner, looked down at the street below, and frowned slightly:

The tank that had been killed from the weapons shop was driving down the street below, followed by several army-green jeeps, one of which was already on fire and looked like it was about to explode.

"Why are you again?" Lin Chi laughed, turned around and left.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard the woman ask again: "Where are you going?" ”

"I still have some things to do, so you can hide here for now." Lin Chi said without looking back: "Remember not to go to the street first, it's a little ...... on the street now Not very safe. ”
