Chapter 370: Halliday Archives
This passage is not like other objects in the copy, which is illusory when scanned, but it is very stable like the objects outside the copy, and the more stable it is, the more difficult it is for Xu Jing's divine soul sense to find.
The entire copy is derived from this passage as the main body, and perhaps only the moment it docks with the hidden passage at the head of the bridge as it did just now, it will be revealed, and it will disappear immediately after stabilization.
The roar of the engine sounded in Xu Jing's ears, and one car after another rushed past him, and in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left.
He turned his head and looked at the wall behind the bridge, beneath the towering Statue of Liberty.
In the moment when the passage flashed away, his spirit locked onto the lines that made up the passage and traced the trajectory of its extension.
The entrance to the passage is connected to a piece of ground in front of the walls under the Statue of Liberty.
Xu Jing couldn't wait to laugh wildly, and when players all over the world were racking their brains to win the game by racing, he made an unusual discovery.
Who would have thought that this road race of death, through normal race methods, could not win at all.
Because Halliday didn't want people to get the key through a normal match, even if the player drove the rocket, he couldn't win the open King Kong.
The real way to win the race is at the starting point, a hidden passage that is unobstructed and will surely lead to the finish line.
Xu Jing immediately released the motorcycle, rode it and slowly drove towards the ground connecting the passage, and soon drove to the target position.
But what puzzled him was that there was no movement on the ground, and there was no underground entrance at all.
"What's missing?"
Xu Jing's spirit swept the city wall and the surroundings several times, but he didn't find any opening mechanism, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Until the end of this game, he didn't figure it out, and he felt that he was just a little bit of inspiration and difficult to grasp.
He did not participate in the third game, but was transported to the Halliday Archives.
Since entering the oasis, Xu Jing has heard many people mention the archives, but this is the first time he has come.
The archive only appeared after Halliday released the Easter egg video, and here are the things that Halliday is willing to show to the world, the clues to the three keys and how to pass the level, are hidden in it.
It is said that all the records in it have been carefully organized, relevant photos, home videos, surveillance videos, nanny videos, and even some of Halliday's memories, all of which have been made into three-dimensional images.
Halliday also kept all the movies, books, TV shows, and games he had watched in the mezzanine floor of the archives.
The so-called popular culture that Halliday likes is found through direct records in archives or some scenes, and some of what Halliday likes and dislikes, some of which are very straightforward and clear, with clear answers, while others need to be carefully scrutinized, and many of them are still controversial.
Xu Jing knew the answer to the race, but he didn't know the process of disintegration, but he believed that the archive must have the answer he wanted, so he came here.
Pushing open the transparent glass door of the archive and walking up the stairs of more than a dozen floors, the first thing you see is the service desk in the center of the avenue in front of you, where a robot NPC in a suit and leather shoes stands.
This NPC has wrinkles on his forehead and an aging face, but he looks very energetic, and his every move exudes the demeanor of a European aristocratic butler, although the name is hidden and invisible, but it is definitely not like the road with thousands of them when Xu Jing first crossed.
He should be unique.
After seeing Xu Jing, the NPC showed a smile and said, "Hello, young man, I am the curator here, I seem to have seen you for the first time, do you need any help?" ”
Xu Jing looked at the other party, and said with a straight face: "Hello, my name is Andrew, it is indeed the first time to come here, I want to see all kinds of records about Halliday's life and work." ”
"Oh, that's so much, it's going to take days if you want to read it." The curator sighed, and then shrugged his shoulders, "But since you want to see it, I'm willing to serve you, come with me." ”
With his hands behind his back, he turned around and began to walk, and Xu Jing hurriedly followed.
The curator walked smoothly and quickly, and at the same time introduced the situation in the archives, and after a while, he took Xu Jing up a spiral staircase, and there were long corridors in the circular corridor upstairs.
On both sides of each corridor, from the outside to the inside, there are a large number of transparent rectangular windows, like large televisions that can play stereoscopic images, through which you can see the picture of Halliday's life and work.
The curator was at the top of the stairs and pointed to a corridor directly opposite: "You start from this corridor, look all the way in from the left, go all the way to the innermost and then look all the way from the right, and walk along this circular corridor clockwise after coming out, and look at the corridors one by one, which are arranged according to the time when Halliday was a child to his adulthood, and they are all here." ”
"Okay." Xu Jing nodded, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome." The curator smiled slightly, "I won't bother you, I wish you a happy egg hunt." ”
He turned and walked down the stairs.
Xu Jing didn't care, entered the corridor in front of him, and came to the first window at the entrance and stood still.
The window was originally dark, but when he stood still, it lit up instantly, revealing a child playing a game in the room.
The picture is three-dimensional, and Xu Jing can also adjust the viewing angle through the virtual control screen in front of the window, shorten or shorten the distance, and fast forward or reverse to rewatch.
He was looking at Halliday's childhood, standing in front of this window for half an hour, and after realizing that he was just playing various games, he walked to the second window.
In the second window, a middle-aged couple is arguing, the man is drunk, the woman is very fierce, the two are scolding each other, and finally it develops to the point of moving, and Halliday is always cowering in the corner, looking very pitiful.
After Xu Jing patiently read it, he moved on to the next one, he appeared in Halliday's life like an invisible bystander, watching and listening to some of the things that the other party had experienced, and analyzing what might be hidden in it.
Maybe it's a certain plot, maybe it's a certain sentence.
Anyway, he wasn't going to leave until he found a way to enter the underground passage in the dungeon.
As for whether the players outside will pass the challenge, Xu Jing is not worried at all, because if he wants to pass the level by racing, it is absolutely impossible.
