It was already completely dark, and the dotted street lamps were paved on the road ahead, and Yimo rode Tong Junwen and hurried home slowly.

The temple was already far behind him, and Imer still had a little palpitations and a tingling scalp at the thought of what had just happened. I don't know if the Taoist priest is really fine, I hope he can get through this difficulty.

But there was one thing he could confirm.

This world is really not a pure materialistic world!

In just one day, Imer's worldview has changed dramatically, he has witnessed people or ghosts floating in the sky, he has been warned by a mysterious organization, and he has just experienced a supernatural event on Baofu Mountain. The two mysterious sensory attacks also reminded him that this world was no longer the same as the world he knew.

Tong Junwen didn't notice anything, she was admiring the bracelet that Yimo had put on him in the light.

"Xiao Mo, what is this?" Tong Junwen poked Yimo.

"Ah, this, this is the bead that Emperor Wenchang has opened!" Imer decided not to tell her the truth, "With the Emperor's blessing, you will definitely be invincible in the examination room!" ”

"What! Listen to that Taoist nonsense! Tong Junwen got angry when he thought of what the Taoist priest said, "Don't be deceived by his nonsense!" ”

"Oh, I just saw that this bracelet was good-looking, so I bought it for you."

Tong Junwen looked very happy, and he didn't bother about the things on the mountain anymore.

Yimo breathed a sigh of relief and instructed, "Don't take it off, you must wear it every day." ”

"Hmm."

……

Encountering supernatural events for two days in a row made Emer's heart a little bigger, or it may be that his energy was too much exertion, and he slept until dawn one night.

Ordinary mornings, ordinary daily life, although Yimo knew that this was no longer the world he knew, but he still had to live his life.

After coming to school, he saw Hou Xuan discussing the game with his classmates.

"Yesterday, my brigade finally went down to the 40th floor of the Demon Tower, and the guard was actually a giant dozens of meters high!" Hou Xuan and a few classmates who were also sponsors were bragging about cowhides, enjoying their envious eyes, "I heard that this is the Pangu clan in the far north, and no brigade can see them yet, only in the Demon Town Tower!" ”

"I really envy you, if you can recruit masters, my brigade will not be able to do it, and it will be powerless to follow up when it reaches the 35th floor." Someone sighed and said.

"Brother Xuan, your ranking on the boundary monument has risen again, right? There are not many brigades in the Eight Desolations City that can go down to the 40th floor! ”

"Of course!" Hou Xuan's expression was very proud, "When I settled yesterday, there were already more than 80 people!" ”

"Then the day when you get together the materials is going to be advanced again, I really envy you!"

"I don't dare to say it far away, just as far as our Yiyun District is concerned, I guess we are the first to get IA, and the gang of people from River Island High School is estimated to be still on a one-day tour of 100!" Thinking of this, Hou Xuan was very proud.

The so-called IA is Ilussion Arms, a type of equipment named after the game itself, and you can imagine how powerful and rare this type of equipment is. As the ultimate equipment in the game, it may take two years for ordinary players to get enough materials, and it may take half a year to a year for ordinary upper-middle players to get from the demon tower or dungeon, and now that the game is open for less than half a year, the people who can get IA are all real elites, and Hou Xuan can also get it in more than half a year, no wonder the students are envious and jealous.

was continuing to blow, and suddenly saw Yimo walk into the classroom, and immediately beckoned, "Yimo Yimer, come on, I'll tell you......" Without saying anything, he pulled Yimo and began to blow about his feat of breaking through the 40th floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Seeing that you are about to enter a real new world, who has the kung fu to take care of a game! Yimo couldn't help but laugh and accompanied Hou Xuan, and at the same time resolutely refused Hou Xuan's invitation. Hou Xuan, who was full of regrets, had no choice but to let him go, and watched the video of the boss battle recorded last night with a few classmates.

Imer sat back in his seat and thought about yesterday. There is no doubt that the Guizhen Daoist is a person from the supernatural world, and even the parents who are familiar with Baoyuan Temple have nothing to do with these, if it weren't for the fact that his parents have entered a state of inability to contact him recently, he would have called them yesterday to ask what was going on.

If nothing happens to Baoyuan Temple in a few days, go ask the Taoist! Thinking so, Yimo stretched, glancing at Hou Xuan out of the corner of his eye, and they were shouting around the video on their phones. Just as he was about to look away, suddenly a figure flew by on the screen, and Yimer's eyes instantly straightened!

He slammed down on his phone and picked it up, ignoring the complaints of several classmates, staring at the phone and looking at the picture on it. It was in a dark hall, under the dim torches, several figures were fighting, their opponents were several ghouls, the battle was very fierce, but the target of Yimer's attention was not them, but the figure floating in the air behind the ghouls and casting spells. It was dressed in a long robe decorated with disgusting patterns and adorned with a few small skulls hanging from it, a garment that Imer would never forget when he was killed! This is the same robe that he saw the day before yesterday!

Why would a suspected goblin look exactly like a monster in the game? Emer's mind went blank, not knowing how to react.

"Emer, Emer!" Hou Xuan pushed him, and several classmates were a little inexplicable when they saw Yimo's reaction, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yimo looked up at Hou Xuan sluggishly, and then looked at his phone, yes, that's right, it's this robe. WHY DO GHOSTS ALSO PLAY COSPLAY?

"Houxuan, what is this?" Imer asked dryly.

"This is the video I made yesterday to open the 40th floor of the Demon Town Tower!" Hou Xuan looked at him strangely.

"I mean, who is this person?" Imer pointed to the robe freak.

Hou Xuan glanced at it, and after seeing what he was referring to, he smiled, "This is not a person, it is a monster in the Demon Suppression Tower, an NPC." ”

"Can you talk to him?"

"This can't work," Hou Xuan said funny, "The monsters in the Demon Town Tower are all projections, not the real monsters themselves, the monsters in the illusion world are actually a kind of NPCs, they are all unique, and the intelligence is extremely high, unless you master enough combat skills, it is difficult to kill even a ghoul." Most of our players are in the city, by entering the demon tower to kill monsters to make money and update equipment, who dares to run to the wild without a head, accidentally besieged by hostile NPCs, months of hard work in vain. ”

"In other words, his ontology is communicative?" Imer quickly understood the mechanics in the game and grasped the subtext of Houxuan.

"Yes, if you can get close to his body and he doesn't kill you." Hou Xuan shrugged, "But it's probably difficult, he is an NPC who belongs to the Xudu Underground Palace, that is the territory of the dead, and the living can't enter, and his status is very high, I heard that he governs a territory as large as a district, how can he take care of you." ”

"Is he the only one wearing this robe?" Imer looked closely and felt that the robe on this NPC was different from the one he had ever seen, and it was more gorgeous.

"Of course not, the NPCs in the Xudu Dungeon are basically like this, they are eerie and scared to death, I don't want to go there in my life." Hou Xuan pursed his lips.

Imme pondered, one is a game, the other is ...... Suspected ghosts, what is the connection between the two? Frowning, he returned the phone to Hou Xuan.

"What, you're interested in this?" Hou Xuan took his mobile phone and asked, "If you are interested, come to the game, and when you have enough strength, you can kill a few NPCs and pick up this robe for you to wear." He imagined himself wearing dead man's clothes, and then he was disgusted by himself, "Bah, bah! ”

However, what Hou Xuan said reminded him that if he wants to know what the connection between the two is, the best choice is, of course, to investigate and observe in person!

"Hou Xuan, take me to buy a VRI after school in the afternoon." Imer said.

"Huh? Are you really interested in this robe? Hou Xuan looked surprised.

"Phew! You love the robes of the dead! Yimo looked at him with disgust, "Do you want to take me with you?" ”

"Okay! Take you to buy! Hou Xuan was quite happy, and couldn't wait to pull him in, "Okay, you come to my brigade, and soon you will be able to pass the rookie period!" ”

Hou Xuan was one of the few people who knew the details of Yimer's past and what kind of talent he had. In this game, there are two kinds of players, one is ordinary players, who improve their equipment step by step, train tacit understanding, get stronger and stronger with time, and can challenge more and more difficult characters; There is also a kind of genius player, who is a top martial artist or king of martial arts in reality, born with an extraordinary ability to fight, and after a certain amount of training, they can do feats that most ordinary players dare not imagine. And he knew that Yimo was such a person, which was why Houxuan had never given up on Raimer to join the gang.

……

After school today, Tong Junwen was going to read in the library as usual, and after saying that it was time to pick her up and go home, he followed Hou Xuan out of the school gate.

The two rode their bikes to the nearest Chosen One experience store, and since the launch of VRI, their experience stores have opened all over the city, so that people can enjoy even if they don't buy for a while.

"The Phantom World is different from the previous games, because VRI equipment is used, so generally speaking, it is best to go to the experience store to buy it, so that you can initialize your VRI equipment under the guidance of the staff." Hou Xuan led the way and introduced Yimo to him.

"Is initialization troublesome? I can't go home and initialize myself? Imer asked.

"It's not that it's troublesome, in fact, to be honest, it's not the VRI device that is initialized, it's yourself."

"Initialize myself? What do you mean? Sounds a little scary......" Imer asked, glaring.

"You know what the I of VRI stands for, right?"

"Isn't that the meaning of an illusion?" This Emer still knows.

"Yes, the meaning of the illusion. But there's another meaning, which is Illusion prostheses, or phantom limbs. Hou Xuan gestured to his head. As far as I understand, it's almost like drilling a hole in your brain and making an interface for VRI devices. “

"This ...... Why does it look dangerous? The thought of drilling a hole in his brain made Imer a little creepy, "It can't be dangerous, right?" ”

"Of course, there is no danger, unless some people have special constitutions that cannot make phantom limbs, otherwise they are 100% successful, and there is no harm to the body." Hou Xuan explained, "But it may be a little painful when making phantom limbs, a matter of moments,"

"That's amazing...... In other words, you already have this phantom limb in your brain, right? Imer stared at Hou Xuan's head, as if to see where the hole was.

"Of course I have...... Don't stare at me, you can't see it! Hou Xuan found that this guy had been staring at the back of his head, and he was a little annoyed.

"Isn't it in the back of the head? Like that sci-fi movie with a tube in the back of the head? Realizing that it wasn't really a hole in the back of his head, Imer smiled a little embarrassedly.

"That's a 1999 film! Are the sci-fi films of the last century comparable to modern technology? The back of the head is intubated or something, it's too old-fashioned! Hou Xuan said with some resentment.

"Ha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Yimo quickly apologized, "What are you going to do with a hole if you're not intubated?" ”

"I'm just making an analogy that VRI devices don't drill a hole in your head, which is disgusting...... I'm just saying it's kind of like a hole drilled, and you'll know what it feels like when you try it yourself. Hou Xuan was a little too lazy to explain to him, but he didn't know much about the principle himself, and the more he explained, the more chaotic it became.

The two chatted and rode bicycles, and after a while, they arrived at the door of the experience store.
