Chapter III: Crisis
"Son, you... It's okay..."
Listening to the familiar voice behind him, Ios's whole body stiffened. Don't you, it's rare for me to be seen in the second year of secondary school?
The previous excitement disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a full sense of shame.
Ten minutes ago.
Under the gaze of Ios's parents, an indicator light above the game pod suddenly lit up, and the blinding red light made the couple's hearts rise suddenly.
Ios's father rushed forward to check, "It's the life-support device that's calling the police, Ios he..."
"What's wrong with my son, tell me quickly!"
Ios' heartbeat was weakening.
Hearing this, Ios's mother almost fainted, "So, what should I do then?" ā
"Don't worry, go find someone to take Ios to the hospital, and I'll go into the game to see how it goes."
"Okay." Hearing her husband's steady voice, Ios's mother calmed down a little and began to act as her husband said.
Ios's father went back to his room to find a game helmet, which only had the function of entering the game, and could not transmit will.
He lay down on the bed, put on the game helmet and entered the game.
Because Ios's father's account is a GM account, the place where it appears is the same as Ios's crystal temple, and Ios's father looked around but didn't find any trace of Ios, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the temple, and when he found this, he immediately rushed to the gate of the temple.
When he arrived at the door of the temple, he found the figure of Ios not far away, and Ios's father breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, nothing happened." ā
Just as Ios' father was slightly relieved to see Ios, Ios' voice came
"The world is filthy again."
Well? What does that mean? Could it be that consciousness transmission technology causes insanity?
He was relieved and worried again, and then he comforted himself again, as long as the person is okay, even if he becomes mentally retarded, he can find a way to treat it slowly! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look a lot better, so he spoke--
ććććććććććććććććććććććććććććććććććć
Click, click, click
Like an unoiled clockwork robot, Ios turned his head with difficulty to look behind him, squeezing out a smile on his face, "Dad, why are you here?" ā
"You just..."
ā......ā
Before he finished speaking, Ios looked at his father's expression of caring for mentally handicapped children, smiled no longer, and hurriedly changed the topic
"By the way, I wanted to quit the game before, but I couldn't quit no matter what, how is my body outside?"
Although the topic shifted very bluntly, Ios's father came in for this, and no longer paid attention to Ios's strange behavior before, and said worriedly, "That's why I came in, your body is not good, your heartbeat is getting weaker and weaker before, I asked your mother to call someone to send you to the hospital, and now I don't know how." ā
Ios was shocked, is it so bad! But then he thought of something: "Although the situation is not optimistic, this is not a good thing." Without waiting for his father to ask, he continued, "My body has had an accident and I left the link, but my consciousness is still here, which proves that the consciousness transmission technology has succeeded." Even if my body dies, my consciousness will not dissipate, and I can be considered alive. ā
Speaking of this, Ios sighed with extraordinary emotion, the death crisis that had hung over his head for so many years was finally lifted!
Although the physical body is gone, the consciousness is still alive, and this game world is not much different from the real world, there is a sense of touch, taste, smell, and even extraordinary power that reality does not have, I can't say which one is better, but it is not bad to live like this in the future.
After listening to Ios's words, my father also thought that it made sense, and his demeanor was much more relaxed. "When your mom comes back, I'll tell her the good news. How are you feeling right now, is there anything unwell?"
"Not yet, and probably not in the future..."Ios said with some uncertainty, after all, there is no precedent, and no one can say what will happen.
"Okay, I'll be relieved to see you're okay. I'll go first, next time I'll come to see you with your mom. With that, he disappeared.
"Is it so simple, your son is uncertain now, just leave... It'sā" Ios had a few black lines hanging down his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he was also used to his father's personality and didn't dwell too much on this.
"Okay, what's next? Ah, yes! I have to find a way to get out of here, or I'll have to make the difference between my life and going to jail. ā
Looking at the dark void and imagining that if he could only stay here forever, and for many years, Ios couldn't help but feel excited, it would probably be worse than death...
So Ios began his quest to explore.
I don't know how long it took to keep flying in the dark [you read that right, it's flying, this guy experimented for a while and found a way to fly], and Ios, who was trying to find the border, stopped.
"It's too far, isn't it, what's the use of this kind of map being so big?" Ios, who had flown for a long time and had not found the border, was speechless.
Seemingly having to think of something else, Ios summons his personal panel that he has only used once since he entered the game world, after finding that his plan to try to leave the Void from the boundary has been in vain. If the panel was conscious, it would probably cry aggrievedly.
Because this game is only intended to provide a place for Ios's consciousness, which is equivalent to the entire game being Ios' private resort, it lacks some of the features of a normal game.
For example, fighting monsters and upgrading, mission system, etc., but focusing on improving the map area and scenery of the game world, in order to make Ios have a more comfortable experience.
So the personal panel is also very simple.,There's not even a basic personal attribute on it.,But also,It's not a game character but a real human consciousness.,How to display attributes?,Technology hasn't developed to the extent that it can measure the attributes of the soul.ć
There are only four categories: equipment, storage, skills, and maps, and of course, there is an exit option. Because Ios has the highest authority, he can create and modify equipment, props, and skills at will.
"Well, I'll see... Equipment, props, and skills can't be seen at a glance, so..."Ios clicked on the map options, and then a column of options such as the main continent, the sea of stars, the celestial realm, and the Pantheon popped up, and Ios clicked on the main continent, and there were two options for viewing and teleporting.
"Ah, sure enough," Ios was excited, then "I'm so stupid to fly so long in front of me." ā
I didn't want to, shook my head, and clicked the teleport. A burst of blue light was generated around his body, and when the blue light disappeared, Ios disappeared in place.
