Chapter 371: Reversing
Time passed day by day, and three months passed in a blink of an eye.
During this time, Xu Jing was like going to work, coming to the archives early every morning and leaving in the middle of the night.
He was completely immersed in the search for answers, and the content of hearsay was never more real and profound than he had seen it with his own eyes.
However, he also did not forget to pay attention to the outside world about the death road race.
Since there was no one who succeeded in the challenge, the number of participants in this competition was gradually becoming less crazy than at the beginning.
The price of death is not something that anyone can bear, and a large number of ordinary players have finally calmed down after learning a heavy lesson.
Most of the people who haven't given up now are hunters, after all, there have been five years without clues, the major guilds and free hunters have persevered, and now the situation is much better than at the beginning, at least there is a goal, and the sixth person has rejoined this race as early as two months ago.
Xu Jing was not in a hurry, he had already read most of the impact of Halliday's life and work records, and intuitively believed that he was getting closer and closer to the answer he wanted.
The social gaming company founded by Halliday and Morrow grew from strength to strength, until they became the richest people in the world with the launch of Oasis.
As a result, the two gradually disagreed about the development of the company, and sometimes they would argue at work, but neither could convince the other, but despite this, they were still best friends.
"2029, Social Gaming Company, Office Party."
Xu Jing entered a new corridor, and after looking at the first two windows, he came to the third window, and opened the virtual screen in front of the window, which showed the title of the content about the content that was about to be played in this window.
Despite the title party, the party is clearly over, and except for a few service staff cleaning up the scene, only Halliday and Morrow have not left.
Dressed in pale blue jeans, a dark T-shirt and a white-washed blue coat, Halliday, who wears thick nearsighted glasses, is cleaning up the trash on his desk, and if you don't know him, you'll treat him like an insignificant ordinary person.
Compared to Morrow, it was different, shirt tie and trousers, black vest, hair neatly combed, he stood to the side, his hands in his pockets, no intention of helping.
"Alright, Jaime, I'm leaving." He spoke, waiting for Halliday to look at him and continued, "Anything will change, Jaime, for the better. ”
Halliday disagreed, retorting, "Some things are inherently perfect, like Demolition Comet." ”
Morrow shook his shoulders and said, "But people don't live in the game of Demolition Comet. ”
"I know." Halliday spoke, but apparently didn't listen, and had his own thoughts in his heart.
Mo Luo hurriedly said: "Yes......"
But before he could finish his sentence, Halliday interrupted him, "But people do live in the games we make." ”
Mo Luo was speechless for a moment, a little crazy, and said helplessly: "You can say whatever you want." ”
"I don't want to talk about that anymore."
"yes, of course you don't want to talk about that, you're going to kick me out of the company." Moreau's emotions suddenly became agitated, "Listen, new inventions bring responsibilities that you don't want to take, and since you've made things that people want and need, you have to set limits and make some rules." ”
Continuing to pack up the garbage, Halliday turned his back to Moreau and said, "I don't want to make any rules, I'm a dreamer, I create the world." ”
Moreau said in a deep voice, "Our work is wonderful, Jaime, but it has changed, it is not a game anymore!" ”
"But I haven't changed, I still like the way it was at the beginning, when it was still a game." Halliday didn't seem to be an easy compromiser, and although his voice was calm, he stood his mind.
"Okay, we're back to square one." Morrow spread his hands, "But here's the problem, whether you like it or not, you won't go backwards." ”
He didn't want to say anything more, so he turned and walked out the door.
"Again."
Xu Jing sighed, most of the images he had seen in the past few days were similar, and there were more and more arguments between Moro and Halliday, and the relationship was a little stiff.
He thought it was over, and turned around to go to the next window, when Halliday's voice suddenly sounded again: "Why can't you go back?" ”
Xu Jing was shocked, and quickly looked back, only to see that Halliday in the screen had approached him, as if he was standing opposite him.
"It's good once, go back, fast, so fast that it can't be faster, press the accelerator to the end, and go back at full speed."
Halliday asked himself as if smiling nervously.
Xu Jing's brain slammed, and the whole person froze in place, and then he laughed, the answer he was looking for during this time had been obtained.
On the other hand, hearing Halliday's last words may not necessarily think of a car race, and even if he did, he might hesitate, because no one can be sure that going back at full speed will crash into the wall and die.
But Xu Jing is different, he is very sure that there is really a passage in front of the city wall behind the starting point.
He couldn't wait any longer, turned around and left the corridor, and walked straight out of the archives to the Teleportation Temple.
There is still half an hour left before the next game, so if we go now, we will be able to catch up.
Soon, Xu Jing rushed to the temple, there was no longer a crowded queue in front of the challenge portal here like three months ago, there were only a dozen players in total, and he waited for a few minutes to enter the dungeon.
There was no one competing for the position at the back, and he came to the end, and after selecting an empty parking space, he did not rush to release the motorcycle.
After all, motorcycles can't go backwards.
Xu Jing was not sure whether he would trigger the conditions for the opening of the channel when he turned around, and after thinking about it, for the sake of insurance, he still took out the ordinary transportation car he bought at the earliest.
A few hunters around him glanced at him, and then stopped paying attention to him, and directly regarded him as a normal player.
It didn't take long for the race to start, and as soon as the signal lights turned green, the cars that had already been driving at full speed rushed out in an instant.
After Xu Jing waited for all the cars to go away, he hung up the reverse gear and hit the bottom with a foot on the accelerator.
Woo——!
The tires of the car screeched, and the distance of 100 meters was about to hit the city wall behind it, when the ground suddenly tilted, and an underground passage entrance appeared.
It worked!
Xu Jing cheered in his heart, and the moment he rushed down the slope, he quickly turned the steering wheel, drove an inverted U-shape, and returned to the same direction as the race track.
Everything around him was transparent green, and he didn't need to unfold his soul to see a three-dimensional image of lines with his eyes, and he was speeding through such a three-dimensional passage visible to the naked eye.
