At midnight, the city is still noisy.

The neon lights are constantly shining, and people who have long been accustomed to the nightlife are constantly flowing on the dirty steel roads.

The urban architectural design of this era has basically abandoned the concept of "beauty" and only focuses on speed and practicality.

Of course, no matter how ugly a building may be, no one except a few artists and critics care about these inconsequential issues.

With the rapid development of technology, almost everyone has become a "dead house", people only need to do everything at home, and even go to work often in a virtual space built with brain imaging equipment.

Humans are becoming more and more closed, and friends who used to drink and eat barbecue together can now only meet in virtual space.

It is no exaggeration to say that many people have been completely "insulated" from reality.

Almost everything they know is from the Internet. Occasionally walking on the streets, you will even feel a subtle sense of unreality, as if you have entered another world.

In the eyes of these people, today is also an uneventful day.

No one knew that in some world born on satellites, a bloody war was going on.

“……”

The welcome robot sitting on the sofa quietly feels the passage of time, and the exact time in this time zone at this moment is 23:57.

The owner of this house is still lying in the game warehouse at this time.

- He once told himself that if the game warehouse was still functioning after twenty hours in the real world, he would cut off the power and let him forcibly return to the real world.

Now, the man had spent fourteen hours in the game compartment. The length of this game is obviously much longer than that of ordinary passers-by.

Even though his body is sitting on the couch, Frankenstein's consciousness has been watching the in-game scene through the imaging device in his brain. Of course, it saw the picture of the "young master" fighting. But......

Since the young master landed on an island and encountered another "child", the broadcast of Lin Chi and the Terminator's perspective was suddenly interrupted.

- Where did he go?

After the signal was cut off, Frankenstein tried hundreds of tricks to find out where the guy was, but to no avail.

The "War Paradise" server, which was originally easy to break through, has become an impregnable fortress this time, let alone finding Lin Chi's whereabouts, and Frankenstein can't even sneak into that game as usual.

In addition, the messages sent by unknown users also made it a little concerned:

"Is it there? Something to discuss. ”

Frankenstein, who didn't know who the other party was, sent a message over: "I don't know you. ”

"Master is from the Security Bureau, the one who met you in the afternoon." The other party replied instantly.

"Is there something wrong?" Frankenstein's response was as lukewarm as ever.

It has always been hostile to the Security Service correspondent who knew his identity. But this time, the other party doesn't seem to want to go against him:

"Do you know War Paradise?" The correspondent sent a message.

"Nope."

"I heard from the Authority kid that the man from your family is in the game." The correspondent changed his voice: "The people in the game seem to be going to make a big deal, and in order to stop them, Lord is preparing to enter that game......"

"Inaccessible." Frankenstein replied.

"But I can get in." The commissioner's tone was not good: "How about it, robot, do you need me to take you in with you?" ”

"Why are you helping me?" The welcome robot sitting on the sofa had its eyes twinkle on its mask.

No matter how he analyzed it, he couldn't find a reason for the other party to help him. It stands to reason that the commissioner must have been after him.

"I'm not going to help you." The commissioner said irritably: "I have been ...... from Zhou What's going on? Oh, Zhou Tianhao heard that the man in your family may be in danger. ”

"I don't know." Frankenstein replied coldly.

The commissioner didn't care about Frankenstein's hostility, but habitually began to call the shots, as he did when he worked for the Security Service:

"I don't know that person, it's not convenient to find him, your task is to identify that man, and then take him out with me, understand?"

"I'm not your subordinate."

"Leave that alone...... the commissioner scolded, "how could I have watched someone die in the game?" If something really happens, the master's salary will also be deducted. Hurry up and get ready, Lao Tzu will take you through the special port of the Security Bureau, hurry up! ”

……

Five minutes later, the "humanoid monster" wearing a tattered red cloak appeared in the war paradise for the first time in a long time.

As he did a few months ago, Frankenstein still wears the same eerie outfit, his head completely obscured by the shadow of his hood, revealing only two red lights. The body was covered with pale bandages, and several spikes protruded from the arms.

When it appeared in the City of Chaos, this set of equipment was still very eye-catching, but in the chaotic "Nightmare Dynasty", which was infested with all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, Frankenstein's appearance was not so strange.

"Damn the brain-imaging game, I hate this kind of thing."

The commissioner's impatient voice came from his side, and Frankenstein turned his head to see an old man in a rag coat standing to his right.

The commissioner could not find a single flat skin on his body, and his hair was almost gone, more like he had been irradiated than old.

Looking at the talking zombie, Frankenstein nodded slowly: "Thank you." ”

"Don't be polite to me, robot ......" The commissioner stared at the cloudy yellow eyes and stared up at the dark sky: "I want to ask, has it always been like this in this game?" ”

"Not very common." Frankenstein replied.

The sky of this continent has been covered by heavy clouds, and the gray clouds are constantly distorted and deformed, looking a bit like a smiling face, revealing a little terrifying atmosphere.

Frankenstein, who watched the live stream of the match, knew that these clouds were formed when Lin Chi was dueling with the Terminator. If you want to find those two people and go to the location of their previous duel, you may get some clues.

"To the island." Frankenstein said.

"What island? I don't have time to watch the live broadcast. The commissioner asked.

Frankenstein explained briefly, and the commissioner immediately understood what it meant, nodding his head, "Good idea, go there and find the traces they left behind......"

A terrible scream interrupted his words.

The two of them turned their eyes to the place where the voice had come from, and walked quickly to the deserted wooden house, and with a bang, the broken wooden door was pushed open, and a thin arm was outstretched. And then......

"I want to ask...... Has this game always been like this? ”

Seeing that arm dissolve in front of his eyes and turn into a viscous red liquid, the commissioner repeated the question he had just asked: "What the hell is wrong with this place?" ”
