！！！

The chill was like a bucket of ice water filled with 10,000 years of ice, pouring on the heads of visitors from the other world.

They have imagined countless situations, and they have figured out how to flatter, hide and pretend to be foolish, negotiate and negotiate.

In less than three minutes,

Maximize the benefits for yourself and for the organization behind you.

But they never imagined that they would hear the word "player" in the mouth of a native of another world, a character in the data world.

It's like being stripped of your armor and revealing the deepest secrets you have inside.

The corners of Sunset's mouth twitched, and his sensual frenzied shouts made him immediately teleport out of this dungeon now,

But in the same way, his rationality is keeping him around—the presence of Gandalf in front of him, or suspected of being Gandalf, must know some great secret, and most likely has no hostility, and can communicate,

If there is hostility and deliberate murder, it is completely possible to attack suddenly and kill four players by surprise - this is their home field.

In a hurry, Sunset Molten Gold was stunned to find that the other three companions did not choose to teleport away, and they all stood in place, probably with the same mentality as him.

【Increased Resistance】

【Endurance of Elemental Damage】

【Psychic Protection】

【Dimensional Cat】

...

The witch drank the magic potion "tons and tons" while releasing various buffs and prevention spells to beware of the opponent's sudden attack.

The Dusk Knight's pupils once again reflected a pure white cross pattern, and a circle of intricate stigmata appeared under his feet.

Li Ang, on the other hand, was with his hands behind his back, and he was calm and light, and he couldn't see the panic and urgency at all.

Wait a minute

Everyone's eyes were focused on Leon's feet,

He himself has a calm appearance of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and his color remains unchanged,

But innumerable vines grew under his feet,

Woven into a long carpet, like an escalator in an airport, carrying him backwards and sliding quickly,

While sliding, it also makes a sound of "Didu~Didu~".

"Look at what I'm doing."

Li Ang had an inexplicable expression and said, "You talk, I'll just watch here." ”

With such an episode, everyone can't be serious if they want to,

Gandalf sighed wistfully as the muscles in the corners of his eyes slightly, and with his staff, he walked down the invisible staircase with Yuri.

The two Canterlot game characters, separated by a distance, said indifferently to the otherworldly travelers: "You are the players, to be precise, the players chosen by the killing game." ”

The otherworldly traveler looked at each other, and the witch took a deep breath, neither admitting nor denying it, "How do you two know..."

"You're too careless,"

Gandalf shook his head and said flatly: "I always feel that with the help of the system to cover up, I can abuse the extraordinary abilities of other worlds at will,

I feel that the natives in the script mission are all stupid and blind people, and they will never be able to see the abnormality.

Don't forget that this is the world of data, and that you are playing a person.

Unusual actions may be able to hide low-level data, but they can't hide the strong people who have reached the ceiling of the world and can browse and flip through the data at will. ”

As if noticing the look of surprise on the otherworldly traveler's face, Gandalf smiled slightly, "Don't worry, we're not hostile,

If you do, you will be erased in the middle of the game. ”

With that, Gandalf swung his staff to the flat ground beside him,

I don't see any energy fluctuations, sound and light effects,

The ground pointed by the tip of the staff cracked suddenly,

Millions of tonnes of red-hot magma, packed with hot steam, erupt from the depths of the earth and reach the sky.

The ground trembles, smoke fills the air, and the scorching air fills the air with a choking smell of sulfur, proving that an apocalyptic volcanic eruption is not a special effect.

Even more shocking is yet to come,

When the lava reached the sky and was about to fall, Gandalf tapped the ground with his staff.

I saw a cold light shoot out from the tip of the staff, and rush along the ground into the magma.

In an instant, the scorching lava of thousands of degrees was frozen from the bottom to the top,

The magma fountain, which is tens of meters high, turns into a huge icicle emitting cold air in the blink of an eye.

The player's heart was shocked, and they could see clearly that this was not a virtual special effect.

It's pure power, a perfect match for energy efficiency.

Now that the show of force is over, it's time to talk about it.

"As you might think, we're gamers too."

Gandalf smiled kindly, the word "Oroin's" player nickname floating above his head, and the word "Yuri" floating above the heads of his companions next to him.

A player's nickname cannot be faked, and when the words are seen, the system will directly create an intuition in the player's mind that this is indeed a nickname.

However, the witch's face did not improve,

On the contrary, the alarm bell sounded in her heart, and the fingers of the palm behind her fluttered, and several protective spells were released, and thoughts were surging in her mind.

Gandalf and Yuri, who suddenly appeared with player qualifications, inexplicably isolated sandbox world setting, and the mission name of [High-dimensional Hacking]...

"Don't be nervous,"

Gandalf didn't care about the witch's hidden hostility, and smiled gently, "Do you think that

I will detain and murder you,

strip you of your player qualifications,

Transfer player qualifications to my subordinates? ”

The players didn't say a word,

Gandalf smiled and asked gently, "Can you ask the name of your mission this time?" ”

This question seems to be answerable,

The witch frowned and whispered the name of the mission.

"[High-dimensional hacking]..."

Gandalf lowered his eyes and muttered, "What a fitting pun."

The first meaning refers to the invasion of low-dimensional players from another world.

The second meaning is that if a low-dimensional existence kills a player, you can obtain qualifications and complete the ascension.

What do the third and fourth mean?

Scold. ”

He shook his head and said calmly, "I do have the potential to kill you,

The premise is that the four of you are murderous, tyrannical and cruel morally corrupt people.

But judging by Comrade Yuri's judgment, you are not. ”

The bald-headed middle-aged man with a gloomy face next to him nodded, and the amplitude was imperceptible.

Seeing the wary expressions on the players' faces, Gandalf explained with a smile, "Don't be nervous, Yuri didn't mentally interfere with you.

If the system wants the player to come into contact with a player from another world, he will directly indicate that

There is no labeling, which means that this situation will not occur in the process of system identification of tasks.

In addition, mind reading is not limited to directly invading the brain with psionic energy.

Micro-expressions of facial muscles, slight tremor and twitching of fingers, head, eyes, neck, hands, elbows, arms, body, hips...

All body movements express thoughts and emotions hidden in the subconscious.

Good at observation is also a type of mind reading. ”

“... What do you want to explain? ”

The witch frowned slightly, and said cautiously, "It's not going to be to teach micro-expression psychology online." ”

"What I'm trying to illustrate is simple."

Gandalf said with a kind face, "Go back and tell the rest of your world,

At all costs,

Win the battle for the door in the second stage of the game. ”

"What?"

Sunset Molten Gold was stunned and said, "How do you know..."

Before the words could be spoken, the time limit was over, and the four players disappeared in place.

Gandalf's eyes sharpened as he looked at where the player had disappeared.

"They haven't reached level twenty yet."

Yuri stepped forward, his voice calm and steady, "If they reach level twenty, they will understand the specific setting of the two worlds when they meet. ”

"Are you worried that they are not strong enough to make the rest of the world pay attention to this sentence?"

Gandalf shook his head and said, "They may not be the strongest in the world, but they are not far behind.

That boy with divinity is funny.

And that little witch... There's a very special aura about her..."

"Special?"

Yuri frowned, "You're talking about..."

"Shuttlers."

A high-pitched, hoarse, low, bird-like voice came from the void beside the two of them, "That little witch knows a shuttler just like me. ”

Where the sound came, the air rippled like water ripples,

A round blue figure tumbled out of the void and landed on the ground with a "snap".

It's a penguin-like creature.

It is about a meter tall, with erect feet, a long beak, short feathers, blue feathers on its back, and white feathers on its chest.

A red and white checkered tie is tied around his neck, and a short black cane is held in his right forelimb in the shape of a fin.

With wisdom shining in his eyes,

It just looks funny and funny.

Yuri and Gandalf did not slack off, bowed their heads, and said respectfully, "Mr. Akili." ”

"Hmm."

The penguin named Achilli bowed slightly, "The third meaning of [High-dimensional Hacking] refers to the original intention of the creators of this world, the original intention of building the server - in order to deal with the plane war, they deliberately built a low-latitude data world,

It is used to experiment to see if it is possible to create beings with free will and player qualifications in the data world.

If there is, you can come to the data plane by reducing the dimension, and hunt special data with player qualifications.

A steady stream of harvesting and plundering player qualifications.

Unfortunately, the founder of this world has died out in the last plane war 10,000 years ago.

Leave only an entire server planet.

And the fourth meaning of [high-dimensional hacking],

It is to isolate the game characters in the sandbox, and the winner can be selected through the ritual (that is, the death chariot),

Teleported to the high-dimensional real world, the body printed out with a standard construction template,

Gain freedom,

Complete the ascension. ”

Achille paused for a moment and complained to himself: "The main thing is that the infrastructure of this data world has not been updated and maintained for too long.

And the server's memetic sensing device is still absorbing the cultural creations of other planets on the plane.

Make the data world more and more complicated and heavy,

Even I can't export all the data characters in Canterlot to the real world in a higher dimension in one go.

You can only use the teleportation channel preset by the creator and make it into a death chariot mode with a slight modification.

A small amount of data is allowed to be sent out at a time.

Considering that the time flow rate of the data world is a hundred times that of the current world, the server planet outside plus Ash Xiaogang should have...

One hundred and thirty-four? ”

The penguin tilted its head and carefully recalled the approximate number of people on the surface of the server planet for a while, and decisively chose to give up, "Tsk, forget it."

By the way, the boy with the mark of the gods, he took the sub-master ball away. ”

Gandalf nodded, "Take it." ”

"That's good."

The penguin lifted his forelegs, straightened his bow tie, and muttered, "Mario's bones, the Minor Master Ball, Isaac's tears, the nano biochemical suit, the triocular night vision device, . . . L.412....

With props that anchor shuttle, it's enough. ”

Gandalf asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

"Well, I'll use those props for anchoring shuttles,

Go to the C-137 Crystal Wall System of Earth. ”

The penguin tossed his cane and pinched it firmly, "My fellow citizens in Gestalt consciousness told me,

In the history of that planet, there have been many shuttles like us, who have traveled between crystal walls and even planes.

They have been in contact with us.

I'm going to look at their value,

Come forward at the right time to hand over to the dominant planet.

Hopefully, this time, they will be ready to participate in this dimensional war. ”

——————

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the desktop that came with the win10 laptop.

The witch took a deep breath and jerked herself up from her chair, not standing still, staggering backwards.

The side effects of the magic disorder have not gone away, the limbs are weak, and the brain is tingling, as if there are countless axes, saws, and chisels, making trouble in the mind.

"Be careful."

A gentle voice came, and there was a "bang" behind the witch, and an extra sofa was added, holding her steadily.

Summoned from the couch was a man in a brown trench coat.

He sat on a wooden chair in the church, with short black hair, an ordinary appearance, a gentle expression, and some wrinkles on his face, which could not tell whether he was handsome or ugly, and could not tell whether he was middle-aged or old (maybe older?). ）

This person is none other than the witch's teacher, the creator of the syndicate, known as the Professor.

This is an empty church on the outskirts of London,

The witch's companion, Meow, was sitting on a wooden chair next to the professor, gloating at his uncomfortable-looking companion and licking the hair from her forelimbs like a real gray-and-white kitten.

"Are you feeling better?"

The professor snapped his fingers, and the stained glass in front of the church flickered, and the warm sunlight shone over the witch, softening the uncomfortable expression on the latter's face.

"Whew..."

The witch let out a long sigh of relief and nodded gratefully to her teacher.

It stands to reason that a professor whose whereabouts are erratic will not appear deliberately for the sake of the student's script task.

The witch didn't expect that after she reported the mission name and mission brief to the syndicate,

The Professor teleported to London and found the witch and meow head in the church stronghold.

"Tell me about what happened in Gao Wei's hack."

The professor said gently, "Don't let go of a single detail. ”

"Hmm."

The witch nodded, and began the long story.

An hour later,

The professor's brow furrowed slightly, "That is to say,

In 2077, humans invented the technology of intubation behind the head, setting off a wave of developing immersive experience games.

Countless games have been refurbished and put into city-level servers that integrate all the network resources of human society for people to play.

Times change, the world changes, the old game is unattended, sinking to the bottom of the server,

Some characters in the game world gradually became self-aware, and as a result, the server's anti-virus program judged it to be abnormal data, and put it into the quarantine sandbox, and then gave birth to Canterlot.

The inhabitants of the city, on the other hand, held a race called the Chariot of Death to compete fairly for the chance to return home. ”

"That's right."

"Hmm... There's a problem,"

The professor groaned, "I don't know if you've noticed. ”

The witch was a little weak-hearted and pinched her fingers, "Uh, what's the problem?" ”

"Motivation."

The professor said indifferently: "The contestants lack motivation.

As you say,

Canterlot contains data that has been exiled because of free will,

They don't seem to have a reason to go back to their home world, where there are only game characters who are not very intelligent and can only speak thousands of lines pre-programmed by the system.

Not the friends and relatives they expected.

Beings with their own will,

and dead things that only automatically answer,

It's already the existence of two worlds, and even going back will only add to the pain. ”

The witch was stunned when she heard this, she did think about this question, but she didn't think about it deeply, "Isn't it normal for something strange to happen in the data world?" ”

"No, the world works according to fixed laws, even if it's a data world."

The professor casually said, "Besides, from the perspective of the game designer,

There are some small games that are not suitable for the open world and are not necessary to be made into open worlds.

Zelda only needs a continent,

The King of Fighters only needs a city,

Gun shooter games only require a few maps.

If you follow what the guide told you,

All the resources in the sandbox should be for the entertainment of the player, not for the purpose of building a completely real world.

The characters of the game, there is no need to fight each other in order to return to the broken world.

Unless..."

"Unless what?"

The witch asked subconsciously, catching a glimpse of a fallen meow in a circle on the wooden chair.

The professor smiled, "Unless, the guide lied to you,

In other words, what she herself received was also false information.

The whole death game/ascension ritual has another purpose. ”

The witch frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "So, what about Gandalf and Yuri?"

They are the players born naturally in the world of data.

or the data of winning the Death Chariot race and qualifying as a player,

Or killed real-world players in previous Death Chariot races and earned player qualification? ”

"It's all possible,"

The professor nodded, "Personally, though, I'm more inclined to another guess.

The whole world of data, as well as the race for the chariot of death, has a certain existence, manipulating behind the scenes.

His purpose is unknown,

You've just accidentally intruded into his realm,

To make matters worse, you may have been taken advantage of by him without your own knowledge. ”

"Is that what Gandalf said at the end of the battle?"

The witch frowned and looked up at the professor, "Teacher, do you know anything..."

There is no one in sight,

The position of the man in the trench coat was originally left, and only a light breeze was left, picking up the hair on the tip of the gray kitten's ear next to him, making it shake its ears in its sleep.

"Cut, that's it again."

The witch crossed her hands on her hips and pursed her lips unpleasantly,

Seeing the meow head sleeping soundly, tiptoeing forward silently,

The evil hands reached for the long hairs on the tips of the kitten's ears.

The cat mage's ear hair is a rare and expensive spell casting material...

"Meow, meow! What did you do with the smelly witch!! ”

"Pain, pain, pain! Loosen your mouth! It's just a hair, don't bite it to death! Gan, didn't I use hypnotism and pain tolerance! How can you still wake up? ”

"Hmph, do you think I'm going to know what you're thinking? Before I met you, I deliberately put more than a dozen layers of protective magic on myself, and hypnosis was nothing at all..."

"Haha, sleepy, aren't you? I know what you think of me. Can your protective magic resist the sleep powder I sprinkled on your cat's paws? Pour it for me! ”

"Innocent! I've predicted that you thought I'd miss you that way! The powder has been sprinkled on your nose by the breeze that was set off by the teacher's teleportation. ”

"It's really you! I predicted that you would predict you, and I would predict your mode of action! I deliberately created that powder to confuse you, and the real killer move is actually the imprisoning circle under the wooden chair you are sitting on now. The nonsense I just talked to you was enough for me to activate the circle to fix you here.

Now, obediently call me out the ear hair! ”

In churches on the outskirts of London, the two mages Man and Cat are still playing the infinite matryoshka game of "I have predicted that you will predict you so much, how I will predict you", and they never get tired of it.
