Two days after the Positional Warfare mode was turned on, eerie tales began to circulate.

At first, no one believed it, but as more and more players said that they had encountered a "ghost" in the position, players who had originally regarded this as a rumor finally began to consider the authenticity of this legend.

It is said that there is an eerie, ghost-like base, and no matter how strong the attacker is, it is completely impossible to breach. What's even stranger is that both the attacker's retinue and the player themselves will be killed in the same way they died in the horror movie.

The attendants around him did not react, and when they looked back, they found that their bodies had been dismembered. The entourage, who was still following behind, suddenly disappeared inexplicably......

And when all the followers are killed, the next unlucky person is the attacker's player himself.

Because the scene is too bloody, most of the players who strayed into this base directly triggered the sudden death system and were kicked out of the game. And the mechanics of positional warfare dictate that neither the attacker nor the defender can see each other's names, so the problem arises......

Is the so-called haunted house an official conspiracy? 》

This conspiracy theory post was quickly pushed to the hottest position in the game forum. The author's point of view is that the "haunted house" in positional warfare was actually concocted by Pulse Entertainment in order to increase the popularity of the new game mode.

"This haunted house does not belong to any player, but was built by the game administrator himself, and players who are on this defensive side are advised to quit the game immediately, you have fallen into the trap of Pulse Entertainment!"

The author of the post is full of emotion, and the content of the article seems to be reasonable, which makes many people start to believe this conspiracy theory.

At this time, the initiator of the haunted house incident is staying at home and waiting for the results of Frankenstein.

I thought Frankenstein would complete the task quickly, but now it seems that the speed of the computer virus is still far behind the cloud computing engine of a large company, and it has been three days since the search began, and Frankenstein still locked himself in Lin Chi's bedroom, so that Lin Chi could only sleep on the sofa.

Leaning on the sofa and watching TV for a while, Lin Chi came to the bedroom door again, raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"Are you okay now?"

After a moment of silence, a response finally rang out in the room:

"I found it."

"How could it take so long?" Listening to the sound of getting up in the room, Lin Chi complained: "Are you playing me?" ”

"There are too many pictures on the web." The bedroom door opened outward, and the slender body of the welcoming robot appeared in front of the door: "In order to maintain consciousness, I also need some computing power. ”

Lin Chi nodded: "I understand." ”

Unlike humans, who are "God-given", Frankenstein needs to constantly perform a lot of calculations just to maintain "self-awareness", something that every normal person has. The closer you get to a human, the more computationally intensive it will be.

That is, while Frankenstein strives to imitate humans, its "abilities" are actually constantly degrading. However, this may be the inevitable price to pay if you want to become human.

"So what's the result of identification?" Lin Chi went straight to the point.

As he spoke, his mobile phone had already vibrate, and Lin Chi opened the mail menu, only to see a somewhat familiar LOGO, which appeared in the air above the mobile phone screen:

"According to the detection, the blurred pattern that appeared on that computer matched the LOGO." Frankenstein said.

"Are you sure it's this?" Lin Chi's eyes widened in surprise.

The mark, which appears in the projection, belongs to a well-known gaming company. Of course, the company has long since changed its logo, but six years ago, the company's logo looked exactly like that:

I saw the vague "V" for myself, which was actually part of the "M", as for the text of the logo......

"EA-GAMES......" Lin Chi read out the following English, and then couldn't help but complain: "They play games in the office? And this kind of operation? ”

As a former American game giant, EA has long since decayed a lot, and it no longer has the dominance it once had.

The company failed to capitalize on the early opportunities of in-brain imaging games and continued to develop old-school VR games. It wasn't until many small manufacturers began to shine that EA realized the importance of this market, but unfortunately it was too late, and the previous backwardness in technology was irretrievable.

- If the employee in the Cold Mountain Lab is playing an EA game, the situation becomes interesting.

EA games have been pioneers of out-of-box purchases for decades, and many of their games contain the hated kryptonite out-of-box element to today.

In order to harvest players' money in the game, a large number of games produced by EA have no offline stand-alone mode at all, and must be forced to be online. If the staff in the Cold Mountain Laboratory are playing EA games, that is to say, in this era, the Cold Mountain Laboratory has not cut off the channels of contact with the outside world.

Lin Chi opened the previous interview video again, focusing on the computer screen with the LOGO, because the camera quickly switched to other directions, he didn't see anything except the EA logo and the black background that suddenly appeared.

- So, the main screen of that game should be black. However, with the three keywords "EA games", "in development before 2029", and "the main screen is black", there will still be a large number of alternative games, and it is completely impossible to guess what is substantial.

"Maybe it's going to be a different angle." Lin Chi began to fast-forward as he spoke, looking for other images related to the computer.

"I don't understand." Frankenstein asked, "Does figuring out what game he's playing help you?" ”

"Since we've been investigating for so long, wouldn't it be a pity to give up now." Lin Chi said the crooked reasoning seriously.

In fact, he also knew that it would probably be in vain to continue his investigation.

As Frankenstein said, even if the Cold Mountain Lab staff were to find out what game they were playing, it would be completely useless. But......

For some reason, Lin Chi always felt that this clue might still have a role.

After some careful observation, he finally found the clue again:

Although the camera did not continue to shoot the computer, in the few seconds of projection, some blurred text and images were faintly reflected on the glass behind it.

Naturally, you can't see anything just by looking at the blurry reflection, but knowing that it's a game from EA, it's much easier to identify the picture.

Screenshot the picture and put it on the phone, Lin Chi began to investigate several computer games produced by EA in 2029, looking for an interface similar to the projection.

After some "arduous" searching, Lin Chi finally found the game interface that was exactly consistent with the projection on the glass:

"It's Battlefield 2135." Lin Chi, who had completed the investigation, put down his phone and raised his head: "That researcher is playing with this." ”

"Do you want to try it?" Frankenstein looks at the projection above his phone's screen.

"Of course."

Lin Chi nodded without hesitation: "I don't think the researchers in the Cold Mountain Laboratory are just 'playing games'. Since he chose this game, there should be other reasons. ”
