At midnight, Zhou Tianhao, who had finished a busy day's work, finally left the annular metal building of the Brain Imaging Game Authority and boarded the self-driving maglev bus.

"Hoo ......"

The tired young man looked at the car, which had no other passengers but himself, leaned back in his somewhat cold chair, and looked up at the warm light at the top of the car.

Recently, there have been a lot of things going on on the side of the Game Authority.,It's become common to work overtime every day.,In addition to the "Pulse Entertainment Company" that is still staring at people, there are also a lot of things happening on the other side of the game.

"I'm tired of Lao Tzu." He muttered a sentence and reached out in front of him, only to find that his vision had begun to appear.

- Is this the rhythm of overwork?

Realizing that his body was about to run out, Zhou Tianhao couldn't help sighing again, leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.

The maglev bus was speeding in the closed pipe, the scenery outside the window turned into a blurred afterimage, and Zhou Tianhao's consciousness began to blur, just when he was about to fall asleep, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate.

Startled by this, Zhou Tianhao scolded, put his right hand into his pocket, took out his mobile phone, and pressed the call button on the screen, and a strange hologram immediately appeared above the screen.

Different from the human image that appears during a normal call, what appears on the screen this time is a slender robot, which looks like it is made of several metal chopsticks, and its round head is lit up with a shining red light:

- Is this a new style of prank?

"Who are you?" Zhou Tianhao, whose attention was focused on the hologram, asked vigilantly, and then suddenly noticed that it was a friend of his who called:

"Lin Chi? You kid deliberately scare me? Zhou Tianhao said angrily.

What sounded on the opposite side was not Lin Chi's listless voice, but a strange electronic sound, which couldn't even be heard by a man or a woman, and was obviously synthesized through software:

"Lin Chi is dying, save him."

"April Fool's Day has long passed this year." Zhou Tianhao pouted: "What's the matter?" It's okay, I'm hanging......"

Exhausted, he was not in the mood to joke with his college classmates. Just as he was about to hang up, he heard the electronic voice continue:

His consciousness ...... Trapped in a virtual space, with no one to take over your body. If you continue like this, you will be weakened to death. ”

"I said don't joke with me......" Zhou Tianhao was scolding the other party, but suddenly remembered the patient he had recently met who had taken "psychedelic" and caused madness.

- I seem to have asked Lin Chi's kid to pay attention to the "psychedelics", can I ......

"Damn, this idiot shouldn't have used 'psychedelics' too......"

Zhou Tianhao scolded, and then asked the robot who was talking to him, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm the housekeeping robot in his house." The other party replied.

"What are you kidding? Housekeeping robots have evolved to this extent? Zhou Tianhao's brows furrowed.

"It doesn't matter who I am, as long as I come to save him, the location here is Room 3501, Unit 5, Building 8, Songyuan Community, I will open the door after you arrive." After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"What the hell?"

Zhou Tianhao, who was still leaning on the seat just now, had already subconsciously straightened his waist at this time and called back Lin Chi's number, but no one answered at all.

"Damn, let's go take a look......" Zhou Tianhao muttered.

Although I don't know if the situation is true or not, the phone call just now is so strange that this "scout" who works at the Brain Imaging Game Authority can't help but be suspicious.

After getting off the bus at the previous stop, he changed to another maglev bus and came to the community where Lin Chi lived. After swiping your ID card at the door, you entered the garden below the community and walked along the empty corridor to the location of Building 8.

- What the hell happened to that kid? Is it to surprise yourself?

While thinking wildly, Zhou Tianhao walked into the elevator room and pressed the button on the 35th floor. While waiting for the elevator to rise, he recalled the phone call just now, and reached out and clenched the telescopic electric baton hidden in his pocket.

Although his work does not require the use of force, as a guy who has not been honest since he was a child and is often chased and beaten by more than a dozen people, Zhou Tianhao has also developed a good habit of carrying weapons with him, and he always carries a "legal weapon" that can pass ordinary security checks.

Even if he has been busy with work recently, which has reduced his combat effectiveness a lot, Zhou Tianhao will not take it lightly. Even if it's a trap, he's ready to deal with it!

"Let's take a look......" he whispered, standing in front of the door of room 3501 and pressing the doorbell.

Two seconds later, the security door slowly opened outward.

"Huh?"

Zhou Tianhao, who was standing at the door of Lin Chi's house, did not go in immediately, but just looked at the living room behind the door vigilantly:

The living room was lit up, and the room was bright, but it was so quiet that almost no sound could be heard.

Zhou Tianhao took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Chi's phone, and then heard the mobile phone ringing from the coffee table in the living room, and the guy's phone was placed on the coffee table.

- What's going on?

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Zhou Tianhao cautiously took a step forward and opened his mouth to break the silence in the room:

"Anyone?"

No one answered his question, only the ringing of his cell phone continued.

“……”

Zhou Tianhao pulled out the electric baton, slowly walked into the living room, leaned against the wall and observed for a while, after confirming that there was no ambush in the living room, he turned his eyes to the corner of the living room:

A large machine with a silver-gray shell was quietly leaning against the wall, and above the brain-imaging game compartment, there was still a green light "in operation".

"Is that kid playing a game?"

Zhou Tianhao stepped forward with a frown and stood next to the game warehouse, because the game warehouse uses a solid security lock, it cannot be opened from the outside when the player is playing.

However, on the LCD screen of the game compartment shell, the continuous operation time displayed made Zhou Tianhao realize something, and his face suddenly became solemn:

This gaming warehouse has been running continuously for ten hours. So...... Who was calling? And who opened the door for himself?

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianhao had a layer of goosebumps on his back, and just as he was about to leave here, he heard a crisp clicking sound behind him.

Zhou Tianhao turned his head sharply, only to see a round housekeeping robot, coming out of the kitchen, with a head covered by a silver shell, facing his direction:

"Hello, I'm a housekeeping robot." The other party introduced himself.

"Who believes it!" Zhou Tianhao roared.

"Please save him." The robot's speaker uttered an emotionless voice: "He might, dying." ”
