"What's going on, it seems...... All the players were pulled back into the square, did the game company finally find the bug that couldn't be logged out? ”

Although he was teleported to another place unprepared, Argo was only slightly surprised and immediately made a relatively correct judgment, and the other players who suddenly returned to the square did not appear too flustered.

However, this is only because they know that they are in a game world, and no matter what kind of accidents and dangers they encounter, it is impossible to affect their bodies in reality, so they behave so calmly, as if they are all strong warriors who have long put life and death aside.

When they get the "news" later, how many of them will still be able to maintain their current state of mind?

"It seems that there should be nearly 30,000 players ...... 'born' in this town."

At this time, Chu Xuan, who had already known in advance what would happen next, used his height to scan around and roughly judged the number of players gathered in this square.

Nearly 30,000 people are near, which means that almost all of the first nervgear players have already entered the game - but it's also a no-brainer, since it's the world's first VRMMORPG, and even those who don't play games at all can't afford to be indifferent.

However, even 30,000 people can't stand in this huge square at all, and if one person occupies an area of one square meter, 30,000 people is only 30,000 square meters, which is just enough to cover a circular square with a radius of 100 meters.

According to Chu Xuan's precise visual measurements, the square they were in had a radius of 200 meters, and each player would not be able to completely fill the square even if they occupied an area of four square meters.

The Death Game of 30,000 ...... I have to say that Kayaba Jinghiko is really a little child, and the people who die in a square are not exciting enough at all, okay?

"Heavenly ......"

Just when the 30,000 players recovered from their initial surprise and began to whisper and even curse the game company, translucent red words appeared in the sky about 100 meters above the square, which was the English word "system announcement".

So the restless players fell silent, and one by one they all looked up at the sky dyed with an ominous color of red light, waiting for the game company's explanation.

Some of them, like Chu Xuan and Argo, also discovered the "bug" of not being able to go offline.

Then, the text of the "system announcement" changed shape and gathered together like flowing water, turning into a huge drop of ...... Blood.

The palpitating drop of blood had once again morphed into a large crimson hooded cloak, like the one worn by magicians.

Although the brim of the cloak is pressed low, players looking from below can clearly see that there is only a deep darkness inside the hat, cuffs, and hem of the cape, as if an invisible ghost is wearing the cloak.

"Fellow players, welcome to my world."

The ghost spoke, but his tone was very calm, but his voice seemed to be using voice changing software, because he didn't want people to remember his voice.

Then, Chu Xuan can be sure that in the past two years in the game, Kayaba Jinghiko still intends to pretend to be an ordinary player, blending in with the players who are imprisoned in this game world by him, to experience this "real different world" created by him.

If Akihiko Kayaba committed such an unforgivable crime, it was really only for this reason, then should he be said to be surnamed Ren or perverted...... Maybe genius is really so perverted.

However, the truth of everything can only be known until Chu Xuan finds Kayaba Jinghiko and asks him in person for clarity.

There should definitely be some reason behind the crazy criminal act that a genius scientist is willing to give up his future scientific research life to commit.

At least that's how Chu Xuan, who is also a genius scientist, judges.

"My name is Akihiko Kayaba, and I'm the only one who can control this world right now.

I think some players have noticed that the logout function is not working, and this is not a bug in the game.

Again, this isn't a bug in the game, it's the original premise of God's Realm.

From now on, you will have to live in this world, and you will not be able to log out of the game on your own, nor will you be able to stop or disable nervgear from the outside.

If someone tries to do this outside of the game, NeNVGard's signaling elements will emit high-powered microwaves that will destroy your brain and stop your life. ”

At this point, Akihiko Kayaba paused, leaving time for the players below to chew on the meaning of his words.

However, it is clear that after understanding what a terrible truth Akihiko Kayaba's words represented, most people chose to refuse to believe it in panic, forcing themselves to take his words as a bad joke.

No one wants to believe that the innocent self just wanted to play a game and ended up falling into the death trap of some mad scientist, even if it was unacceptable luck.

But it's also human nature, everyone tends to believe what they want to believe - for example, maybe the lottery jackpot will fall on their heads, and everyone doesn't want to believe what they don't want to believe - such as bad luck just falling from the sky and falling on them.

But as is often the case, there are always some people who are not lucky, there are always people who are shrouded in bad luck, but few people can calmly accept this thing for granted - especially when it is their turn to be unlucky.

"This—This is ......"

Argo, who was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, had an extremely stiff smile on her face, and turned her face to say something to Chu Xuan beside her, to alleviate the ominous premonition that had been pressing heavily on her heart, only to find that Chu Xuan was still that expressionless, and he didn't even have the slightest expression of surprise.

"You...... You can't have known about it for a long time, right? ”

The intuition of the female surname allowed Argo to accurately grasp the truth of the matter, Chu Xuan put on a poker face, slowly turned his head to look at Argo's face, and then said in a dull voice that was as smooth and uninhibited as ever:

"No, I don't know."

Chu Xuan, who almost didn't lie, lied without hesitation this time, but it didn't matter, because Argo was not the target of his strategy, so deceiving her would not affect Chu Xuan's mission at all.

"Really?"

Argo, who had always suspected that Chu Xuan might be an insider of the game company, stared at Chu Xuan, who was reflected in his glasses, and asked quite suspiciously.

"Really."

Chu Xuan nodded affirmatively, both in tone and demeanor were very natural, even if he used a lying instrument to monitor his brain waves and pulse, he would never be able to find out that he was actually lying.

"In that case, why is your expression so stiff?"

Argo had actually believed Chu Xuan, or she didn't really think that Chu Xuan knew about it in her heart, but her sense of fear made her unconsciously start pushing her various negative emotions on Chu Xuan's body, as if proving that it was all Chu Xuan's fault that could put her in a safe position.

Facing such an Argo, Chu Xuan didn't show any resentment, he just pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said in an indifferent tone:

"That's what my face is."

“……

I'm sorry. ”

Argo, who was actually blank in his mind, blinked, and then instinctively apologized to Chu Xuan.

Then, there was an awkward silence between the two men, but fortunately the silence had only begun for a few seconds, and the blood-colored cloak above the sky began to speak again:

"More specifically, the external power supply is cut off for more than 10 minutes, the network is disconnected for more than 2 hours, attempts to destroy the nervgear body or the locking is removed - the brain destruction procedure is only executed in these cases.

These conditions have been announced to the outside world through the company and the media.

Unfortunately, so far, many of our family and friends have ignored our warnings and attempted to forcibly disarm nervgear, resulting in 213 players being removed from the world of Godfield and the real world forever. ”

213 players...... I don't know if this number is just a coincidence, but players who take the warnings from game companies and major media outlets as a joke, or simply don't see those overwhelming warnings...... of family and friends, it is definitely 213 undoubtedly.

But it's a pity that there are always some 213 guys in this world who don't hit the south wall and don't look back, and even some people don't want to admit their 213 when they hit their heads on the south wall, but blame the people around them for not trying their best to stop him.

"But you don't need to worry about the body in the real world, all the TV, radio, and online media are constantly reporting on this situation, as well as the fact that most of the victims appeared, so the possibility of the nervgear being forcibly removed from your head has been reduced to a very low level.

In the future, your real-world body should be transported to a hospital or other facility for careful care during the two-hour disconnection buffer time under the nervgear.

We hope you can rest assured...... Put the spirit on the strategy game, and only by clearing the game can everyone leave this world safely.

But I hope you should pay special attention to one point, for you, "God's Realm" is no longer just a game, but another real world, in the future, all means of resurrection will be canceled in the game, and when the HP becomes 0, your characters will be wiped out forever.

Meantime...... Your brain will be destroyed by nervgear. ”

In this way, Akihiko Chewba disappeared after leaving behind an extremely frightening fact and a "small gift" for each person, and the lives of 30,000 players in this "real other world" officially began at this moment. (To be continued.) )
