Chapter 425: A Mutation Occurs
As soon as Mina's words fell, the expressions of the other five of us were a little subtle.
Zhao Qiqi...... Although she is a member of our team, she has always existed as a military advisor.
However, the mysteries that haunt her are no less than those of the "true demon".
What's even stranger is that she never seemed to know what a multigrain pancake was.
But how can this be justified?
Not only that, but when Zhao Qiqi recalled before, when he ate lollipops and chewing gum, he also said similar strange things.
It's as if she's only recently started trying to eat them.
Thinking like this, I turned my head to look at Zhao Qiqi, but found that she still had an indifferent expression, as if Mina was not talking about her just now, but someone else.
Just when Du Deming couldn't help but want to ask Zhao Qiqi, she finally spoke: "It's boring for you to see through it so easily." Let's get down to business! Now we have plenty of time to hear from you. ”
In a few words, Zhao Qiqi brought the topic back to Mina.
When Mina heard this, she was slightly surprised, as if she didn't expect Zhao Qiqi to say this.
Her dark and deep eyes stared at Zhao Qiqi without blinking, as if she wanted to see something in her eyes.
However, Zhao Qiqi did not show any fear, she looked back at Mina's eyes, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
At this time, the five of us were like outsiders watching the battle, and we didn't dare to make a sound.
After a confrontation like this for about half a minute, Mina finally compromised.
Mina shrugged her shoulders and raised her hand to make a pause gesture, "Okay, okay, I'm not going to fight you anymore." Let's go back to the previous conversation in the 'True Demon' game world! ”
"Hmm!" I nodded heavily, and my expression suddenly became serious.
When the others heard this, they also carefully sat far away from Mina and listened quietly.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Mina's face turned cold.
She looked at us fixedly with those dark eyes, then turned to look at the coffee table.
"In order for you to understand all the truth I've investigated so far, let's start with a macro example!" There were teacups on the coffee table that we had just drunk, and Mina pointed to two of them, "I've told you before. In the beginning, I was turned into a supercomputer by the Mi family. Initially, I was free and unfettered in the online world. Normally, nothing would pose a real threat to me. Then, one day, the 'True Demon' appeared. Then, under its semi-inducement, I became a part of it, and was threatened by it until now. ”
"Before?" I immediately sensed that it wasn't just right.
What do you mean?
Previously threatened by the "True Devil", so now?
Is Mina now free from the threat of the "True Demon"?
Countless question marks popped up in my mind.
Mina saw my confusion, and she smiled.
"Don't worry. Hear me out. Mina's fingers still moved back and forth between the two cups on the coffee table: "But then, as I learned more about the 'True Demon', and I searched for it from other angles on the Internet. I slowly noticed something was wrong. ”
"Where?" Wang Yi looked at Mina with a strange expression.
Mina nodded.
"Like you, in the first investigation, I found that the red and black triangle pattern appeared on many places and things, and out of instinct, I classified it with the 'true demon'. Think it's supposed to be the sign of a 'true demon'. However, slowly, by infiltrating the memories of those who entered the illusionary world I created, I suddenly discovered a commonality, that is, the 'True Demon' did not seem to have any aggression towards the players who entered it at the beginning of the stage, and even many players really reached 10,000 survival points, and finally succeeded in leaving the 'True Demon'. This means that although it tells you that you will die if you do not complete various tasks, in fact, all of this is just a warning, not a real thing. It's just that later, starting from a certain node, it suddenly undergoes some kind of change......"
"Wait! You say, the warning of the 'true devil' is just a warning, not a fact? Right? I still remember that when we first entered the 'True Demon' platform, two disobedient people were killed by lasers at the beginning. That's what the six of us saw with our own eyes! As he spoke, Zhang Qiang turned his head to look at me: "Right, Gao Wei?" ”
Listening to Zhang Qiang and Mina's words, I suddenly realized that something was indeed wrong.
That feeling has always been there, but it's been suppressed by instinct.
Without answering Zhang Qiang, I looked up at Mina: "You mean to say that when we first entered the game, the deaths of the two people it showed us may be just an illusion?" Is that something it does so that we can do what it tells us? And ......"
"And the team we're meeting so far, no matter which team it is, is exactly six people, don't you notice something strange about that?" Zhao Qiqi added.
Originally, everyone didn't feel anything strange, but after listening to our words, they were all stunned.
"yes, it seems strange to hear you say that, why is there exactly six people in each group? Is there some mystery here? Du Deming looked at me with a surprised expression.
"Wait a minute, I seem to get it! According to you, assuming that the 'True Demon' was not aggressive at first, what we initially saw was only an illusion, and even many people left the 'True Demon' alive. But in the first place, what was the purpose and meaning of its existence? There's got to be a reason why it got us into those worlds, right? Zhang Qiang said.
After Mina's reminder, everyone realized that something was wrong, and everyone discussed it word by word.
Inadvertently, I glanced at Wang Yi, but saw that his expression was very unnatural, as if what we were discussing made him very uncomfortable.
thought of the surveillance footage that Zhao Qiqi showed me before.
My eyes sparkled, but I didn't say a word.
After two minutes, Mina spoke again, pointing to one of the cups on the coffee table, "Let's assume that the 'True Demon' is one of the cups. Why it existed in the first place, and what the purpose of its existence was, we don't know now, but the only thing that can be confirmed is that, from the current facts, according to my analysis, the 'true demon' did not exist to kill humans in the first place. Until ......"
Mina paused, and she moved her hand to another teacup: "Until, another power appeared, and this power caused the 'True Demon' to change. ”
"So what should we do now?" I looked at Mina with some concern.
