Chapter 14: The Aftermath of the Sixth Layer
A moment of trance.
The body of the Gu God engulfed in flames overlapped the pale ceiling. The two fight, and the rest is a smash of white.
Wu Hao realized that he was back, back to the real world to which he belonged.
He looked around, the lights were on, and there were all kinds of game equipment and VR equipment piled up next to him, all ages and manufacturers. It can range from a few thousand to tens of millions.
"It's really worthy of being a Fortune 100 game company, and it's really rich."
Wu Hao complained, he ripped off the spiritual submersible device above his head, and wanted to get up, but he didn't have the strength.
I don't know if it's a side effect of the skill [Plan C], but he feels like his brain is a mess. Some of the things that happened in the game, and some of the people I met, were vague. It's close, but it's far away.
It seems like my job is to help Base Tech test bugs in new games?
Thinking about it, the door was opened. A woman in an OL costume walked in.
She should be under 30, tall, fair-skinned, with black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and diamond earrings hanging from her earlobes, which seems to be Cartier's most expensive one.
She is indeed a beauty, but her temperament is too sharp, Wu Hao doesn't like this temperament, but I have to say that she does have the demeanor of a business elite.
The woman helped Wu Hao up from the bed and asked with a smile, "Cleared customs?" β
"Mission accomplished!" Wu Hao saluted.
The woman glanced at the smart terminal on her wrist and said, "I know, your character data has been transferred to our company's database." β
"Then the salary ......" Wu Hao asked with a shy face, his memory was now in chaos, and it would be bad if a woman asked about the bug situation in the game.
"Yes," the woman said with a smile.
She took out a piece of paper from her briefcase and put it in front of Wu Hao, "This is the closed test end report, fill it out and we will transfer the money to your bank card." β
Wu Hao opened the report, and after just one glance, he frowned: "This is Japanese, I can't understand it!" β
"Looks like I got it wrong."
The woman smiled, quietly took the Japanese report in Wu Hao's hand, and replaced it with a Chinese one.
"That's pretty much it."
Wu Hao filled in the report with satisfaction, casually threw the chocolate on the table into his trouser pocket, pulled his shoes, and walked out of the door with a big grin.
"Would you like a cup of tea?"
"Be free! There are old and young in the family, and they are still waiting for me to support the family! β
He happily closed the door, but he didn't notice that a blue arc of lightning flashed in the palm of his hand and disappeared immediately.
The moment the door was closed, the smile on the woman's face immediately disappeared, as if everything was a disguise. She sorted out the report on the stage and walked into another office.
Compared to the previous office, this room is much darker, but more spacious. There is only a desk and a chair in the huge space, and there is not even a sofa for people. The overhead light was not on, but the window was open, but it was not facing the sun. Opposite is a bare stone wall, and the shadow envelops the entire office.
In front of the desk, a young man sat on his back, tall and huge, and the office chair was creaked by him. Dressed in a suit, bow to the top.
He crossed Erlang's legs, staring thoughtfully at the stone wall, and a cloud of smoke came out of his mouth.
βBossγβ The woman called softly.
"Hmm."
The young man answered, turned his chair around, and asked, "Are you all done?" β
"It's all done." The woman put the report written by Wu Hao on his desk, "This is the experimental report of [the fifth sample]. β
"What about the memory operation?"
"And it went well," the woman thought for a moment, and seemed to have some doubts, "the skills that the [Knights] people gave him ......"
"Keep it," the man disagreed, "as a reward, for he is also a hero in his crusade against the devil." β
"I'm worried that keeping these skills may cause memory regression. If [fifth sample] remembered the story of contact with the Knights, it would be detrimental to our plans. β
"It's okay," the young man waved his hand, "Suzi, you're too sensitive. The Knights are an obstacle to us, but they are by no means enemies. At least when it comes to fighting the devil, our attitude is the same. β
"But ......"
The young man knew Suzi's stubbornness, and looking at her look, he knew that ten horses could not pull her attitude back. Even if she doesn't agree, she will secretly ask the game director to delete Wu Hao's skills. After all, there is no open beta yet, and everything is out of a variable phase-
He smiled bitterly and sighed, and said, "Okay, okay, listen to you, delete it." The reward given to [Fifth Sample] can only be cashed out at the lower level. By the way, how is Alice doing? β
"The spirit is very stable - it seems that even a single-digit tower level can bring no more mental load. Everything is in open beta in 10 days! β
"Yes, in ten days," the young man put his hands on his cheeks, and his eyes were piercing, like a falcon hunting prey in the sky.
"Let this Infinity Tower become a prison for all demons!"
ββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββ
Infinity Tower Level 6.
Tsukinose commanded [Witch Crazy Box] to descend from the sky, and she came to Jiabaili's side and held the unconscious blonde girl in her arms.
The girl's forehead and blonde hair were covered in blood. Some belonged to herself, some to those who died in front of her. She was light, like a well-behaved deer, leaning in the crook of Tsukinose's arm, snoring softly.
No matter how strong she is, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl.
Tsukinose sighed, she hugged Jia Baili tighter, and went into the box to bandage her wounds.
The moment the door was closed, a black cat peeked out of the stone pile, its golden vertical pupils staring in the direction of the box. No one noticed it, and the dust became its best protective color.
When the chest was in the air, it came out of the pile of rocks and came to the place where the chest had been. The corpse of the Gu God fell to the ground, the charred soft shell had dried up, and an unpleasant black smoke was emitted.
The black cat didn't care so much, its paws gouging through the corpse, and finally found an egg-shaped object that glowed green. It took the thing in its mouth and ran away with a puff of smoke.
ββββββββ Dividing Lineβββββββββββββ
Jia Baili woke up slowly, and it was dark all around, except for a little starlight coming in through the window. She rubbed her eyes and held the bear doll that Tsukinose had placed at the end of the bed in her arms.
She still remembered that the Gu God's flying stone broke her wings. But now, the position of the shoulder blade does not hurt at all.
"Awake?"
It was Tsukinose's voice. She was sitting on the edge of the bed peeling apples. The light was too dim to see her face clearly, but Jia Baili always felt that her voice was a little sad.
"Hmm."
"That's good. Come, eat apples. β
Jia Baili took the apple brought by Tsukinose in her mouth and asked inarticulately, "Huh...... [Gu God]...... The demons of this layer, have they been destroyed? β
"Well, it was the [explorer] who wiped it out."
The angel's intuition tells Jiabaili that there is something wrong with the current Onishi Tsukinose. But she couldn't say what was wrong. Talking absent-mindedly? Too depressed?
Anyway, it has something to do with the adventurer who has left the Infinity Tower.
She hurriedly took off the apple in her mouth and asked, "Venay, answer me honestly." Did that Closed Beta Explorer do anything to you? You didn't move your hands, did you? I probed the closed beta list of Base Tech, and there was only his physical investigation, not his character investigation. If he does something to you......"
"No, no! Jia-chan, you're overly sensitive! β
"Then why is Vena upset?"
ββ¦β¦ How could I be unhappy? β
"Obviously there is!"
Tsukinose still wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything when the words pressed down his throat. She was silent for a moment and said, "I'm just...... It's just a little tiring. β
Hearing this, Jia Baili was stunned, and the apples in her hand fell to the ground. She hid her little face in her knees and whispered, "I'm sorry." β
"It's okay with Jia-chan! It's just that...... My own question. β
"What's the problem?"
Jia Baili raised her head and asked, revealing a small pair of jade eyes.
He ...... No, do you think I'm a bad girl? β
"How is that possible!" Jia Baili hurriedly retorted, "If Wei Nai is a bad girl, then there will be no kind person in the world!" β
"Vena doesn't know how good she is!" The girl broke her palm and counted one finger at a time, "Sleep and help me spread the quilt, warm the bed, help me take takeout, help me clean up, and, ......"
"But I lied!"
ββ¦β¦β
"I lied!" Tsukinose said, tears welling up in her eyes, "I didn't say anything about the fact that I wasn't an explorer, whether it was the matter of the Knights, or the truth about the Infinity Tower. β
"I've wanted to say it, I've wanted to say it several times! But in the end, I still didn't say anything, and I still made up lies and prevaricated. Looking at the way he believed me, I didn't feel the slightest guilt in my heart, but a sense of comfort [ah, confused] - I don't want to think about it, but I have to admit that the person who has such evil thoughts is myself. β
"I'm a bad girl!"
Jia Baili was silent, she didn't know what to say, she could only reach out and gently stroke Tsukinose's head.
What can she say? The reason why Tsukinose came here is why he keeps lying. It's all for her, it's all for the mistakes she has committed. If it weren't for her, Vena wouldn't have had to struggle between the morality of the Order and her own mission as she does now.
At this moment, she hated herself immensely.
The two girls snuggled up to each other, quietly looking out the window at the starlight.
