Chapter 2: Paradise

On the screen is a software interface, the black background and flashing cursor show that this is a blank document, Wei Xuechen said in a trembling voice: "This is the novel I wrote this morning, have you seen it?" ”

Yan Zhen looked at him strangely, shook his head and said, "This is obviously nothing." Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Wei Xuechen took back his mobile phone and sighed: "The problem is here, I did write, but every time I write a word, the software system will receive a word, whether it is myself or others, I can't see what I wrote at all, even if I go to the police, what about the evidence?" ”

Is this really such a bizarre and weird thing in the world? Yan Zhen didn't believe it, he still suspected that it was a hacker, maybe the software had hidden functions.

"What should I do? I haven't finished today's task yet, and I'm running out of time! Wei Xuechen muttered.

Yan Zhen retracted his thoughts and said to him: "I still suggest that you call the police, maybe the police can find out the designer and publisher of this software, who is using the software to play tricks, and professionals need to investigate." ”

Wei Xuechen's eyes turned to the window, and suddenly a faint smile appeared......

got the news of Wei Xuechen's death at noon the next day, Yan Zhen received a call from Lu Zhi and Wei Xuechen's mutual friend Jin Xiu, informing him that Wei Xuechen had died last night, and the cause of death was the same as Lu Zhi's, heart failure.

Yan Zhen hung up the phone and walked into Lu Zhi's room, his parents hadn't had time to pick up his things, and the laptop was still in place.

Yan Zhen turned on the power and logged in to Lu Zhi's account again, but found that the software that automatically logged in and ran after booting was gone, and he searched all the hard disks and did not find any backup of Lu Zhi's novel.

Could it really be as Wei Xuechen said, all the novels they edited were absorbed by the software, and they didn't even have a backup of themselves?

And this software disappeared for no reason after Lu Zhi's death, which is simply incredible!

How does a computer software perform a murderous mission? Of course, if they are allowed to sit on the computer and type day and night, except in the form of overwork.

But whether it is Lu Zhi or Wei Xuechen, they are all adults with reason and brains, would they not even want their lives to complete a task assigned by the software?

Curiosity is the beginning of all bad luck, Yan Zhen didn't know where he had heard such a sentence before, but he really couldn't help the urge to know the truth.

He went back to his room and opened his desktop, searched the Internet for the download URL of this software, and found that there was only one way to download the software - a microdisk.

The owner of the microdisk is called 'Paradise Lost', and this person only shares this software.

Yan Zhen downloaded and installed it, and when the software login screen popped up on the computer screen, he hesitated for a moment on the registration button, then resolutely clicked on it, and quickly completed the registration, he stared at the account name in the upper left corner of the software, and waited for a few seconds, but nothing happened.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and focused on the design of the software, the interface design of the software is very gorgeous, the main background is black, and each function button is a doll icon with different shapes, these dolls either have no eyes or their mouths are sewn on, which makes people very uncomfortable to see.

In the background of the edited chapter, there is a blood-colored Ferris wheel, and instead of a tin box for visitors to sit in and enjoy the scenery, hanging from the Ferris wheel is a coffin entwined with roses and vines.

Overall, the design of this app has a spooky and mysterious feel.

Facing this kind of picture for a long time, the mood is definitely not much better, Yan Zhen typed the words 'is anyone' in the blank space of the document.

He wanted to see if these words would be absorbed into the alien dimension by the software, and a strange scene appeared, the words on the screen did not disappear, but one more word - in

He was so frightened that he almost jumped out of his chair, was this a prank? The thought crossed his mind, but he immediately calmed down again, swallowed his saliva, and continued to tap the keys.

――Who are you?

-- Paradise

――Are you the designer of the software? Or a publisher?

-- I am Paradise

Yan Zhen pondered for a moment and typed: Are you human?

-- I am Paradise

Yan Zhen retracted his hand on the keyboard and puffed himself up before he knocked out: You killed Lu Zhi?

-- Clear

Yan Zhen's heart sank, he hurriedly pressed and held the shortcut key to take a screenshot, but in any case, the part of the software was blank, he tried QQ, YY, drawing plates, and even taking pictures with his mobile phone, but the results were all blank.

His eyes can see the software clearly, why can't he take screenshots or take pictures? Is there such advanced technology in the world?

Just when he was confused, a text message popped up on the screen, exactly the same as the one he received for Lu Zhi that day, he quickly clicked on it to read, but the content was: Welcome to the park, you have a new task, please check!

Here it comes...... Yan Zhen felt his heart beat faster, blood rushing to his brain, and he found a new task assigned by the system in the task bar.

Click on the task with apprehension, and the request is surprisingly simple - write down three ways to die for a person. Sixty minutes is limited.

He typed in the margins of the document: drowned, fell, choked.

Sure enough, the text he typed out disappeared immediately, and the taskbar showed (Done).

It's as simple as that? Yan Zhen felt a little dazed, it was impossible for Lu Zhi and Wei Xuechen to die because they couldn't complete such a simple task, maybe this was the software's tolerance for him as a novice.

At this time, a list suddenly appeared on the bulletin board of the main interface, which read: Announce the list of today's eliminators, and attach the punishment results.

All sorts of pen names have been swiped through the bulletin, and they are followed by chilling notes.

- Eliminated in a silent place (blindness)

――Call the beast out (fall from the building)

――Every day barley tea elimination (aphasia)

……

- I'm kind and eliminated (drowning)

……

――A lonely boat eliminated (choked to death)

The scrolling list was lined with at least hundreds of pseudonyms, and in these lists, Yan Zhen found that the causes of death of the three people were exactly the same as what he had just written.

He felt his palms cold, cold sweat soaking his palms, he clenched his fists fiercely, and found the deletion item in the computer control panel, but he didn't find the software called Paradise in the installed list.

He searched through all the files, and searched every corner of the hard drive, with no installation packages, no software folders, and no shortcuts.

Only then did he realize that this software would not only disappear on its own, but also become invisible!

It's a ghost killing software!

Yan Zhen still didn't believe that someone must be manipulating everything behind his back, but he couldn't find evidence.

As Wei Xuechen said, both the software itself and the text they edit are like being sucked into a cosmic black hole and disappearing without a trace, even if they go to the police, what evidence can be used to prove that they are telling the truth?
