Bai Chen's knife actually didn't have time to fall, because Meng Xiaosu had already fallen-

A bullet scurried through her back and hit.

Then he revealed Jiang Li, who was standing behind him, he looked no different from before he fell, and the inherent carelessness in his eyes did not fade in the slightest.

"Tsk, it's not a good thing for minors to be too violent." He smiled slightly, mixed with a little melancholy, as if he was genuinely uneasy about the violence of minors.

Saying that, Jiang Li fell his gaze to Bai Chen in front of him - the little girl was still wearing pajamas, the battle just now made her hair a little messy, and the movement of holding the knife was a little stiff because of the pause at this time, although she still looked expressionless, but there was still a trace of confusion in her eyes.

He sighed and walked towards the little girl.

He felt that although this girl couldn't see anything on the surface, she was still scared after all, right?

Bai Chen stood in place, feeling that he was trying to think about many things just now, and he couldn't react at this time, until there was a warmth on his head.

Then I heard Jiang Carp whisper, "It's okay." ”

Bai Chen was slightly stunned, came back to his senses, looked at him again, and then remembered to speak: "You are not dead yet." ”

Jiang Li: "......"

"Seeing you being thrown down, I thought you would fall to your death." Bai Chen felt his movements and smile stiffen in an instant, and thought that he hadn't spoken in enough detail, so he added.

Jiang Li: "......"

Why don't you say it?!

"All ash worlds don't obey the laws of physics, so little sister doesn't have to worry about these problems, it's actually nothing to fall from a high altitude."

Suddenly, a laughing voice came from the PCI of the deflated Jiang carp -

Bai Chen was stunned.

Jiang carp gave up with a "tsk" - he beckoned, and a PCI blue translucent screen appeared between them.

Bai Chen then saw a smiling and kind face—it was a young man, much more simple than Jiang Li, not only in appearance, but also in temperament. Although it doesn't have any stud accents, it does look like a mess, it's really simple.

"Hello, let me introduce myself, I am the head of the Ashes Special Investigation Department, and my name is Zhou Jing." Zhou Jing looked at Bai Chen and smiled.

Bai Chen's eyes flashed: "Bai Chen." ”

"Ash Special Investigation Department...... What is it? She continued.

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows: "Didn't Ah Li tell you?" ”

Bai Chen shook his head.

Jiang Li immediately turned his back, snorted, lit a cigarette, and looked at the sky as if he didn't know anything.

Get.

Zhou Jing clearly knew Jiang Carp's problem, and sighed helplessly when he saw this, and then looked at Bai Chen's calm eyes, and couldn't help coughing lightly: "Then let me talk about it a little......

"The game "Ash World" is based on the data uploaded by humans to PCI, and designs various levels of copies of the "Ash World", and the players who are involved in it have to parse these ash worlds to find the boss, break them, collect the core, and leave the ash world, the successful ones will increase their level, and the losers will die.

"Even though you're still a student...... However, it should be known that the data uploaded to PCI is personal privacy, regardless of the game or other subjects, the transfer of this kind of data is illegal and not allowed, and at the same time, the setting of the death of the loser is more deadly.

"But...... This is not an ordinary game that can be banned just because it is 'illegal'. I'm sure you've been through it too - somehow entering the world of ashes, and then you may encounter so-called mobs and bosses, and there is no other way to defeat it.

"We don't know who created it, but it's said to be a backlash from AI – they've got their own consciousness for the convenience of humans, intent on subverting the real world, and 'Ember World' is proof of that. Players are forcibly involved in existence, and there is no possibility of escape. ”

After listening to his words, Bai Chen blinked: "The game created by AI, I want to ...... Subverting reality? ”

Zhou Jing continued: "This is the unanimous opinion, because the data in the PCI is used in the "Ash World", and it is difficult for us to arrest the 'perpetrators' according to the normal procedure, because they are lurking in the virtual world, but they can even attack the human beings themselves. ”

It's simply ......

"The more people are involved, the more dangerous human society becomes, so the Star Sea Bureau has set up an Ash Special Investigation Department - that is, us - to enter the game to investigate." Zhou Jing lowered his eyes, and when he raised it again, there was a slight moving determination in his eyes, "We can't let this game spread—we can't let it hurt people who don't know anything about it until then." ”

Large-scale warnings are out of the question.

Everyone is using PCI, and blocking data uploads is already blocked – which is not only useless, but also adds to the panic.

"Also...... Jiang carp is the executive in charge of helping the chicks in our department. Zhou Jing seemed to think of something, added.

Bai Chen raised his head when he heard this, and looked at the man who was smoking against the railing.

"Hmph, it should be." Jiang Li felt the gaze, so he lowered his head and showed a bright smile to Bai Chen.

Before Bai Chen could speak, he heard a cold voice from PCI: "It's just a waste that is useless except to fight the D-class ash world." ”

"Hey?!" Jiang Li's eyes widened-

"So, what do you need me to do?" Bai Chen's voice successfully stopped a scolding battle, and she looked at Zhou Jing expressionlessly, "Since you told me about this. ”

Zhou Jing was probably stunned by her serious expression, thought about it carefully, and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing...... The main thing is that it is more dangerous for underage girls like you to get involved in this game......"

Of course he wouldn't ask a little girl at the level of a minor to do anything-

Explaining is a necessity for this type of player, and to be honest, it's just routine.

But to put it a little more seriously.

Zhou Jing later remembered this incident, and what impressed him the most was Bai Chen's eyes - when she looked at the monitoring sent back by Jiang Li, most of the time her eyes were gray, and only when she talked about this matter, her eyes lit up.

And, she said, "You're going to stop this game from continuing to devour humanity, right?" ”

The brightest moments of her eyes are like the stars in the night sky, the sparkling waves on the river – it's moving.

Zhou Jing looked at it in a daze, and let out a "hmm" in a trance.

"Can I join you?"

Then came a sentence that shocked the three big men present.

The little girl in her pajamas repeated earnestly: "I'm going to join you - I don't know why, but I have to." ”

I really don't know why.

But there's a strange feeling—

As if hidden deep in the corner of her memory that she couldn't dig into, a voice kept telling her.

To stop the spread of this game.

It should be destroyed.

Thoroughly.

Thorough.

——

——

Whoa——!

The night was deep, and on the bank of a river somewhere in City C, a figure was suddenly hit, like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground.

Gray-white hair, ornamental red eyes - looking at everything is like looking at ants, as if they were born noble, but now they are covered in blood.

"It's you...... It's you. The second gasped and looked at the people walking slowly in the distance.

It was a man, dressed in a black hoodie with his hat on, and his face was invisible.

Zheng ——!

He raised his hand, and a Tang knife appeared in his hand.

The blade is narrow, the long handle is wrapped in strips of white cloth, the blade is blood-colored, and it overflows with monstrous aura, but this man's breath is a lonely and snowy cold type.

He didn't say anything, just walked quietly, and the knife soon hung above the head of the two.

"That man...... That person cooperates with you! Two looked at the knife, clenched his hand hard, and struggled to exclaim, "Just because he lost something!" When he finds it, he'll ...... you Dispose of it like a mom – he can do it. ”

The knife stopped.

"What are you doing for him in such a hurry? Humans – the game has just begun, so why not wait and see? The second number continued.

The night was long, and there was an air of intrigue and despair.
