227 Death in the Mist

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the valley below was dark. The pale-skinned old hunter trudged alone through the snow to the middle of the valley.

Although he didn't know what the "god" hidden in the valley was, in Lin Chi's opinion, it was very likely that it was the designer or administrator of the game.

Ever since he met a strange old man in the City of Chaos, Lin Chi has always wanted to find a role of "designer" level again. It's a pity that in the next two games, there is no guy of this level at all.

Although the contact time has not been long, he can still see that the old man who has always been calm is undoubtedly the "NPC" with the highest authority level that he has encountered in the game!

He didn't know if that guy was an AI or a human-operated character. The only thing that is certain is - that guy definitely knows the secrets inside this game.

Because of this, Lin Chi, who is very curious about "War Paradise", will try his best to find clues about the designer and try to meet the other party again.

- If the Shadow hadn't fooled himself, he might have found the person he was looking for in the altar in the middle of the valley!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi also quickened his pace again, and the trampled snow made a "zizi" sound, leaving a string of forty-four yards of large footprints.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the more you move towards the middle of the valley, the colder the air around you becomes. Even Lin Chi, who was a bloodless person, felt a chill to his bones, flowing through the empty veins in his body.

"What's the situation?" He frowned slightly.

It stands to reason that in a game like War Paradise, there will be no exaggerated special effects in traditional RPGs, but Lin Chi clearly saw that in the air in front of him, there was a gray mist, bringing out an indescribable terrifying aura and an almost suffocating sense of oppression.

If you are an ordinary player, you may be confused when you see this scene, after all, it sounds very difficult to create such a weird feeling in the game. But Lin Chi, who was "experienced in a hundred battles", quickly discovered the mystery hidden in the fog:

"It's ...... Data fluctuations? ”

Lin Chi, who used the original brain-computer interface, can completely see the difference between ordinary "picture rendering" and fluctuating game data.

The gray fog is not a common special effect in games at all, but the result of the constant oscillation of the in-game data. He had never encountered this situation in previous boss fights.

- In other words, no matter what exactly is hidden in this area, that guy undoubtedly has the ability to directly change the game's data.

And in War Paradise, the only one who can do this kind of thing is probably an administrator-level existence!

Realizing this, Lin Chi took off the decapitation axe from his back, grasped the cold axe handle with both hands, and cautiously and slowly moved forward, entering the strange cloud.

He knew that the guy in the fog had much higher authority than ordinary players and NPCs. It is likely that he will not even have a chance to fight back, and he will be directly killed by the other party. But......

- Anyway, this game is in advent mode, so even if you hang up, you won't lose anything.

As an old salted fish, Lin Chi naturally did not think for a long time like ordinary players, but immediately entered the clouds, and the scenery in front of him suddenly began to blur, like snowflakes on the screen of an old-fashioned TV.

In this area of abnormal data, the in-game time flow rate seemed to have changed, and Lin Chi could feel that the rough skin on the old hunter's body seemed to be becoming smoother......

Time is turning back here?

Sensing that the situation was wrong, Lin Chi clenched his weapon again, strode through the smoke, and continued to march towards the center of the valley following the instructions of the map.

As he continued to go deeper, the visibility became lower and lower, not to mention what altars he saw, and even the ground three meters away disappeared into the "snowflake spots" fluttering in the sky, completely unrecognizable.

“……”

Just as Lin Chi was about to arrive in the central area of the map, a male voice with its own echo came into his consciousness roughly, like the transmission of a god, shaking Lin Chi's brain as if it were trembling.

"Get out of here, outsider, I can let you live."

"Friend, I just want to talk to you."

While Lin Chi spoke loudly, his eyes stared at the nearby smoke screen without blinking, trying to find the other party's location, but to no avail.

When hearing the other party's lines, Lin Chi also reconfirmed his inference. After all, the person who can say the word "outsider" can't be an ordinary NPC.

- However, listening to the other person's choice of words and sentences, it seems that he is not a game administrator or a designer. If you're really an administrator, you'll probably use the term "player" instead of calling yourself an outsider.

Could it be ......

Lin Chi had just thought of another possibility when he heard the majestic voice sound again: "Get out of here now." ”

However, the old hunter standing in the mist did not pay attention to the other party's order, but suddenly spoke:

"I mean, aren't you also a member of the 'Resistance' against the Administrator?"

- If it's an awakened AI who has found out the truth like the executioner, it doesn't seem strange that he is "king of the mountain" in such a place. Since these guys are not in the Administrator camp, they are most likely members of the Resistance.

As expected, when the male voice that had been very calm sounded again, his voice trembled imperceptibly, and this small change naturally did not escape Lin Chi's observation:

"Don't talk nonsense, I am the god of death who rules this place, outsider, you can only save your life by offering a living sacrifice to the altar of death!"

Even though the threat in the other party's words was obvious, Lin Chi didn't flinch, just laughed and asked, "You want to kill me?" ”

"If you don't leave, I'll take your life." The other party is quite into the play, and it does sound like a boss like "Death".

"Then I'll contact the admin and tell them that there's some bugs in this area. Do you think they're going to send someone to take a look? Lin Chi asked casually.

As soon as these words came out, the voice suddenly became stern, with undisguised anger:

"You're threatening me?"

"I said, I just want to talk to you. If you don't want to, you can only let the 'executive' talk to you. Lin Chi said with a smile.

“……”

As if stunned by the old hunter's "shamelessness", the voice in the fog disappeared for a while, and after half a minute, it finally sounded again, sounding full of reluctance:

"Okay, I'll let you in."

With his voice, the gray smoke screen that shrouded the central area of the map vanished like chalk words on the blackboard.

What then entered Lin Chi's line of sight was a terrifying altar made of human bones not far away, and a human skeleton that had long since rotted sitting directly above the altar.

"Is that you?" Lin Chi tentatively asked the skeleton.

"I'm still alive...... the man's voice sighed weakly, "I opened the door behind the altar, come in." I'll meet you personally. ”
