Chapter Eighty-Five: Far from the Illusory Mirror of Reality
There is still relatively little information that can be seen in news reports, but the comments about it on the Internet are getting more and more intense, and anyone can understand that it is absolutely impossible for the official to sit idly by and ignore such a big thing.
Tang Yidu had seen police cars parked near the company several times, but this kind of inquiry-style investigation was obviously meaningless.
During the two-day break, Tang Yi also saw the busyness and fatigue from the employees who came in and out of the building, but it was a little strange that the entire company was still running in an orderly manner, and the company's senior management had never publicly stated its position from beginning to end, and it seemed that they were not worried about the consequences of this incident.
Tang Yi thought of what Song Lang had said to him before, after the chaos, the company would definitely use the Illusory Mirror called Far from Reality.
Such doubts lasted until the third day, when Song Lang, who was belated, finally knocked on Tang Yi's room door.
This is the first meeting between the two in reality, but there is really no difference between the game characters and real people, and the two are not too cramped when they meet for the first time.
Song Lang, who was in the dust, was tired and didn't bother to greet politely, so he handed over a bottle of ointment first, and said: "Death light rays have the effect of delaying recovery, let's use this ointment for a few days first." β
Tang Yi has been in contact with Song Lang for the past few days, and it was Professor Song who insisted that he wait for him to come back before he stayed and rested for a few days with nothing to do.
Tang Yi had already told Song Lang on WeChat, of course, a lot of content was omitted, such as about the USB flash drive, about the dragon saying that he had the bloodline of the Star Spirit Clan before he died, and so on.
It's not that he doesn't trust Song Lang, Song Lang has helped him a lot during this time, which he is also very grateful, but there are some things he still thinks it's better not to let others know.
Even if Song Lang has no malice, the more people who know, the more uncertain dangers his future will increase.
After all, the Star Spirit Clan, a lost race, represented too many things, and Tang Yi himself hadn't fully figured it out, and he didn't want to be used anymore.
In Tang Yi's description, he was only entrusted by Lin Maoran to implicate himself with the Redemption Society, and in the end, he was able to get out by relying on the stone left by Lin Maoran to return to the city, as for what happened after he teleported to the game headquarters, such as why the dragon blew itself up, and Ouyang He's whereabouts, Tang Yi bit himself to death without knowing it.
Fortunately, Song Lang didn't delve into it, in fact, in the whole story of this matter, except for the matter of the Star Spirit Clan's bloodline, Professor Song always knew much more things than Tang Yi, but he didn't say everything before.
Of course, it is impossible to reveal all of his identity to Tang Yi.
After handing over the ointment, Song Lang hesitated and said slowly: "I have to apologize to you for this matter, the development of the situation is actually a bit beyond my imagination, in fact, the company's headquarters has always been aware of the Salvation Society." β
Tang Yi was not surprised, at that time, Ouyang He was so different after answering the phone, he realized this, in fact, it was not surprising, the Salvation Society had such a naΓ―ve purpose to the second level, and it was almost impossible to expect everyone to go crazy with them to the end.
With the sheer scale and energy of this game company, it would be very strange that this company could survive until now if it had not been aware of the covert actions of the Redemption Society from beginning to end.
Song Lang, who has a high internal status, can't be ignorant, but it is understandable that he has hidden something from himself, just like Tang Yi himself also chose to hide some things for some reasons.
"Can I know why? Could it be that the headquarters wants to fatten the fish and then kill them? β
After a pause, seeing Song Lang's slight silence, Tang Yi added very understandingly: "I'm just curious, if you feel embarrassed, just don't ask, it's okay." β
Song Lang shook his head and said: "There is nothing to hide about this matter, anyway, you will know soon, if you don't need to know, even if you know now, it's useless." β
Tang Yi paused, this sound a little strange, how could he feel like he was going to be killed.
There was no time to stop it, Song Lang had already continued: "You should know that the biggest difficulty in the game now is because of the restrictions on landing in the magic array, which has caused the number of players to never go up. β
Tang Yi nodded, he had heard about this, and even the expansion plan of Dawning City was limited due to the number of players, but he didn't understand how the two things were involved.
Song Lang said: "How to expand the landing port is something that the management has been thinking about for a long time, but there has been no result, until one day they suddenly found that someone thought of a way for them, although this is only an incidental product." β
Tang Yi opened his mouth in surprise: "The Redemption Society is trying to introduce the races of that world to the earth, this is the so-called method?" β
"Not exactly, how can it be compared? The space passage is a very mysterious thing, no one has really seen it, but there is an interesting theory in so many years of research, as long as the passage is completely opened once, the entire space mouth will slowly expand by inertia and become more relaxed, so that the landing problem can be solved. β
"Uh, Professor Song, I think you're driving."
"Be serious! I'm talking to you about the matter.,The crux of the problem is the first entry.,By the way,The game login method we've been using,It's actually the use of soul projection.,And then use the exchange of soul information.,And the exchange of phantom and entity.,Well, it's a very complicated theory anyway.,In short, our landing is definitely not directly into the space channel.γ β
Tang Yi muttered: "The Redemption Society opened the spatial channel through the collision of the natural energy of the elven race with the dragon's dragon meteor, which produced violent energy fluctuations? "I still know a little bit about this from Ouyang He.
"That's right, this theory is actually not difficult, the difficulty is how to implement it, which involves cross-dimensional positioning and teleportation, as well as security issues, these are completely unpredictable risks, even if the headquarters has known this theory for a long time, there is no way to put it into practice, until they heard about the plan of the Salvation Society, and decided to plan it."
After a pause, Song Lang sighed: "We later learned that the Redemption Society had worked with other races to excavate a relic of the Star Spirit Clan a long time ago, and it is said that the key props for dimensional positioning and teleportation were all found in it, which is not surprising, space science was first pioneered by the Star Spirit Clan. β
Tang Yi thought of Lin Maoran again, could it be that this man suddenly resigned and joined the game, just to dig up the relics of the Star Spirit Clan, wouldn't that mean that this man was also a member of the Redemption Society a long time ago.
"So is the login problem solved now?" Tang Yi asked.
"It's still in the process of being adjusted, but I've heard before I came here that it's going to be very good, and it won't be long before we can accommodate more players in our main city at the same time."
When he said this, Song Lang's face was much less tired, revealing a touch of excitement, compared to the topic of the Redemption Society, he was reluctant to say more, even if Tang Yi asked, he simply said that it would all be solved soon.
But Tang Yi didn't have much interest in the topic of landing in the game, he asked the Redemption Society, and he was also thinking about whether he was safe now, so he asked tentatively: "Then when my injuries are all healed, I can go home, right?" β
Song Lang fell silent again.
"Well, your expression is a little strange, it was your expression before you went out on TV." Tang Yi was half-joking, but he also quietly took a few steps back vigilantly.
Song Lang couldn't cry or laugh: "You can also think of such a thing as extinguishing your mouth, but I just want to ask you something, now, after experiencing this incident, do you still want to continue to go to that world?" β
Tang Yi was stunned again.
Song Lang's expression gradually converged: "I can tell you bluntly now, when I helped transfer you to Su Jie's team, I actually meant that I asked you to help spy on Ouyang He, because you are a newcomer, and I don't trust other old players too much, so in the final analysis, I implicated you." β
Tang Yi opened his mouth, and it was not all Song Lang's reason if he wanted to say it, even if he didn't transfer himself into the team, because of Lin Maoran's contract, he had to take the initiative to face Ouyang He, but he didn't have a good idea to say these words, because if he talked too much, it would inevitably involve the USB flash drive.
Song Lang waved his hand and asked Tang Yi not to speak: "For you, I feel a little guilty, but fortunately, you are only a little injured, do you remember what I once said to you?" The deeper you are involved in that world, the more difficult it is to get out, and you will never be able to leave. β
Tang Yi nodded: "I remember when I first met you in the library that day, you said this to me, but at that time I didn't fully understand the reality of that world. β
"And now?"
Tang Yi heard that Song Lang wanted to ask about his future choices, and he was speechless for a while.
Before this incident, according to his original plan, when he completed Lin Maoran's contract and had no worries, he should take the money with him, and it was best to sell all the remaining equipment for RMB, and then leave the game completely and go back to his hometown to live his leisurely life.
Even when I first saw the dragon coming, this plan has not changed, and it is even stronger, playing a game until even your life is almost lost, and if you have money, you have to spend your life.
But now, Tang Yi is not so sure.
Whether his parents died in an accident or an accident, whether he was of Star Spirit Clan blood, these questions lingered in his heart, and he had been thinking about these things during his rest for the past few days.
He knew that it was impossible for him to pretend not to know these questions, and unless they were completely solved, he might not be at ease for the rest of his life.
Song Lang only regarded Tang Yi's silence as hesitation, and sighed obscurely: "Now there is an opportunity in front of you, you can leave that world safely and never enter again, as for your equipment and props, of course, you have to stay, but as a price, you will also receive a lot of money." β
Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Professor Song, wait first, leave safely?" That means that even if I wanted to leave the game, it would have been impossible before? β
Song Lang was expressionless: "It doesn't matter, you have two choices now, sign a non-disclosure agreement and continue to stay in the game, or refuse to sign the agreement and leave this building immediately, after a few days, all your memories during this time will become the past, and you will return to the life you are familiar with, oh of course, the money in the bank card will not be less." β
"You want to erase my memory?" Tang Yi frowned, he thought that a movie he had watched before had a kind of amnestic stick, as long as he flashed it to someone, he could erase the relevant memories, and he couldn't help but suspect that the game company would use something similar.
"That illusory mirror that's far from reality, it's an amnestic!" Tang Yi asked.
"No, although the spell of erasing memories does not do not exist, it is not easy to erase the memories of people on the whole earth at the same time, the illusory mirror is a kind of causal law prop, by constructing a new reality, and then starting from a certain point in the past, connecting a new future, and the old connection points will be overwritten, this is not to erase memories, but to fundamentally change reality."
Song Lang said calmly: "Now that the whole world has begun to investigate us, the use of the illusory mirror is certain, and as long as you sign a confidentiality agreement, you can be exempted, but the price is that it is impossible to leave the game in the future, you have to think about this." β
Tang Yi was a little suspicious, he felt incredible: "Rewriting reality, if you really have such an awesome prop, wouldn't it be more direct for the game company to directly make itself the ruler of the world?" β
"It's not as simple as you think, first of all, the illusory mirror is a prop that has been handed down to the present day tens of thousands of years ago, and the causality props have extremely strong side effects and restrictions, plus this prop is incomplete, this side effect and restriction is even greater, so big that you can't imagine, and every time you use it, you need to be charged for at least ten years before you can use it for the second time."
An ancient relic again?
Tang Yi was a little speechless: "Could it be that some Star Spirit Clan handed down?" β
Song Lang shook his head: "No, the illusory mirror was unearthed on the earth, I don't know the specific situation, but I once heard some gossip, this is a relic from the Atlantean era." β
Tang Yi was dumbfounded.
"In fact, there was a time when someone used Unreal Realm about thirteen years ago, and it was only used on a small scale, but the cost was already very serious, at least two people behind it died, and there were frequent global disasters at that time, if you have an impression, you should remember."
Tang Yi's eyebrows jumped sharply.
Thirteen years ago, there were indeed many sudden global disasters, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis, all of which were inexplicably crowded together, but thirteen years ago there was a more unforgettable thing for Tang Yi, that year his parents died in a car accident, and not long ago, Ouyang He told him that it may not have been an accident at that time.
Does this have anything to do with the Illusory Mirror?
"So I see, the Illusory Mirror is not used casually, and if the new causal modification is too large, the side effects may even be a planet-level disaster, but this time, I think they should think of a more reasonable way to use it. In short, if you are willing to stay away from that world, you can not worry about being implicated in the future at all. β
