Li Mengxi still remembered the pain like an electric shock he felt when he put on the "helmet", but he didn't quite understand what happened at that time, after all, where was the spare energy to pay attention to other things in that state?

Then, he seemed to be trapped in a world of nothingness, and he was still conscious but could not feel his body, and his eyes were full of pitch black. But this process did not last long, it was only for a moment and did not even make people have time to be shocked, and suddenly there was a light in front of them.

Then, when he noticed it, Li Mengxi was already in this place.

It is a very large square about the size of a football field, surrounded by a ring of towering brick and earth walls, full of the charm of the ancient Roman Colosseum, and in the center of the square stands a black stone obelisk at least 20 meters high, engraved with inexplicable symbols on all sides.

At this time, tens of thousands of men and women, including Li Mengxi, gathered here, all wearing the standard rookie costumes that no matter which RPG will have at the beginning, and I'm afraid everyone will also see their HP, MP metering slots and various options in their field of vision.

It's undoubtedly the world of motion games, it's just a little weird. Regardless of the pain of the previous landing, judging from the current situation, the people gathered here all seemed to be at a loss, and it seemed that they were all landing for the first time. Is this possible?

So, it's better to log out for a while and sort things out in the real world.

Thinking so, Li Mengxi found the somewhat transparent option folder located in the lower right corner of the field of vision, and picked out the options for the game.

Because of my brother.,Only the most popular and popular game of somatosensory games, he hasn't had much contact with.,But it's not a pure novice.,There's still a clue about where to log out the button conventions.。 But in fact, it took him a long time, because ......

"How could it not be! Where the hell is the logout button!"

In the end, I don't know who shouted out the fact that everyone should have found out. Character Parameters, Skills, Inventory, Contacts, ...... There are all the options that should normally exist, but there is nowhere to "log out", no, there is not even a "system" before "log out".

So, the conclusion is obvious - everyone is trapped in this virtual world. In the past two years of the rapid development of somatosensory games, no business has had this kind of bug even in the closed beta stage.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mengxi couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. Immersed in the game world, this kind of story has been written by writers since the beginning of the 21st century, but I didn't expect to come across it one day.

Now, no one will come and announce "what is going to really die here, what do you need to do?" or something like that, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Mengxi felt amused by his imagination.

"Bang!"

At this moment, a muffled sound temporarily quieted the crowd that had been in a commotion due to the "inability to log out". Li Mengxi immediately looked for prestige and saw a tall, thin young man with short brown hair sitting in front of an arched exit.

The young man looked stunned, then came back to his senses and screamed as he scrambled to his feet.

"I can't get out of here!"

Hearing this shout, many people rushed to the nearest exit......

"Really!"

"There are walls, invisible walls!"

"How so!"

"Are we going to be trapped here after we're trapped here!"

......

Listening to the panicked shouts around him, Li Mengxi was also a little nervous. The real reality doesn't make people mentally prepared, but what's the point of dragging so many people into the game and then locking them up in this square?

A sudden "ding" sound interrupted Li Mengxi's current thoughts, and he noticed that a new envelope logo appeared in the upper left corner of the field of vision under the metering slot.

It seems that someone sent the email, and based on the current situation, it is likely that it is the operator. So, is it possible that the older brother who is the maker of the crafts?

Li Mengxi began to get excited. He observed the people around him, and although most of them were still flustered, there were still many people who were looking intently in front of him.

It seems that everyone must have been sent an email, and maybe it was a public notice.

Thinking about it like this, Li Mengxi clicked on the email logo, and then a very short letter popped up in front of him. It's a pity that the sender is not my brother, but still "MysteryWorld", and the content is somewhat like a riddle:

If it were a thousand words, the obelisk would reveal the laws of the world. Then heaven and earth will unfold.

This message is given to all players at this time, and it must have some meaning, the first and easiest thing to think of is "how to leave this square".

In this way, the last sentence is not difficult to understand:

"Heaven and earth" does not refer to the real heaven and earth, but the unity of the two refers to the world in general. "Heaven and earth will be revealed" means "the world will be revealed", and if you combine the current situation, it should mean that the world will be displayed in front of the player. However, if you are trapped in the square all the time, you can't see the world, so the previous sentence must be talking about the way to leave.

"If ten thousand people say a word, the obelisk will reveal the laws of the world. ”

The key is how to explain this sentence. The one in the center of the square of the obelisk is also engraved with many unintelligible symbols similar to characters......

If the obelisk is engraved with some kind of writing, its content is probably the law of the world. In other words, "reveal" is to "interpret", as long as you can decipher the inscription, you can leave here!

Since the second half of the sentence is the way to leave the square, then the first half of the sentence - "If it is a word for ten thousand people" is to point out the method of interpreting the inscription, but what does this mean?

10,000 people is roughly the same as the total number of people here now, does "10,000 people speak one language" mean that everyone here should find a specific "common language"? This is impossible?

Because there are Caucasians, yellows, and blacks here, and it's clear that everyone comes from different countries. Cultural differences can lead to people not speaking a "common language", or even speaking different languages.

Huh?

At this time, Li Mengxi finally noticed the wonderful phenomenon that was happening. This phenomenon should have been noticed in the first place, but it has been delayed due to a series of circumstances. Not only Li Mengxi is like this, I'm afraid everyone is like this.

This phenomenon is "language"!

Now, Li Mengxi is fluent in another language that he has never been exposed to, rather than his familiar native language, Chinese. It seems that this language has replaced the original status of Chinese as the mother tongue, and has made Chinese a second language.

This is an unacceptable fact, and it is easy to explain it if you think about it.

In order to eliminate the communication barrier between players, large online games with international servers, especially somatosensory games, usually take some measures, such as synchronous translation devices, or simply display subtitles.

In this regard, "MysteryWorld" also considers it, but the approach is quite crude and unflattering.

The system did not consult the player's opinion at all, directly intervened with the brain, and forcibly typed a lingua franca into it. This kind of behavior is already a serious crime of misuse of somatosensory devices. When it comes to the consequences, they can cause dizziness at least and burn the brain to death.

So Li Mengxi was more concerned at this time, "Is this kind of behavior also allowed by my brother?"

No, I know my brother, he is definitely not the one to do such a thing. In that case, it is likely to be someone else. If it is linked to the disappearance of his brother, it can only be that someone kidnapped his brother and stole MysteryWorld's brother's brainchild to carry out the crazy act of which the purpose is still unknown. It must be like this!

Who is that person? Li Mengxi really wants to know the answer now, and then tear that mastermind behind the scenes to shreds. He clenched his fists in anger, but eventually relieved himself.

No matter what you want to do in the future, you must first take the first step from this square to the outside world!

"One word for 10,000 people", if you reconsider it at this moment, this is undoubtedly the lingua franca that the system loads into the player's mind, so probably the text on the stele is the text corresponding to this lingua franca.

It may seem easy to match language and words, but what is the status of the lingua franca of today's players?

It's like a child who just knows how to call "Dad", and even if you put the word "Dad" in front of him, you won't know it. How do you want people to interpret this?

Li Mengxi, who had no idea at all, gritted his teeth resentfully and unwillingly, and at this moment, a voice came into his ears.

"Yo, this young man, you seem to understand the meaning of the riddle. ”

Turning to look in the direction where the voice came from, Li Mengxi saw three blonde Caucasians, two men and one woman. He was accosted by a handsome young man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall in front of him, and another boy who was very similar to him was a slightly shorter boy and a beautiful girl standing behind him on the left and right.

"Who are you?"

Li Mengxi asked as a matter of course. This made the young man who came to talk stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly while scratching his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I should have introduced myself first. My name is Richard, this is my brother Williams, and this is Miss Lomaria, my college classmate. ”

"I say, why are you telling us our real names?" said the girl named Romania with disgruntled displeasure. As for Richard's younger brother, Williams just smiled helplessly.

And this is the first time Li Mengxi has seen someone reveal his real name in the online game, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and then showed his eyes looking at strange creatures. Just think about it, Richard's mistakes really don't matter in the current environment.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Li Mengxi said this, raised his finger and pointed to the metering slot in the upper left corner of the field of vision, "Because the character name has defaulted to our real name." You can't see it directly on the other party's metering slot, but it's probably not easy to hide. ”

Hearing Li Mengxi say this, Richard and the three of them also quickly confirmed. The two boys were only slightly startled, but Lomaria immediately frowned and looked very unhappy.

"Thank you so much for reminding you!"

Richard spoke again, obviously it was the first time he met Li Mengxi, but it seemed to be talking to an old friend. It seems that this is a rather bold person.

"So, would you mind telling us the name? Didn't you say you couldn't hide it?"

And it's not stupid.

"My name is Li Mengxi. At this time, Li Mengxi responded with a smile, he likes to deal with smart people, so it is interesting. "By the way, what you just said...... Does that mean you also know the meaning of the riddle?"

"Ah, we just found out, too. Miss Lomaria happens to be a talented student in language and writing, and the focus is on ......"

"Ahem. ”

Just as she was getting to the point, Rosea suddenly coughed twice. Immediately, Richard stopped and looked back at her, and then smiled at Li Mengxi.

"Let Miss Romaria say this herself. ”

"Then I'm going to be embarrassed. Although Luo Maria said this, Li Mengxi had already seen that it was actually her own very much to show it just now. But that's not in the way.

"In fact, I'm 90% sure about the interpretation of the inscription. ”

Just when Li Mengxi was still thinking about what kind of girl Luo Maria was, her words exploded in her ears like a thunderbolt from a sunny day.

"What! is this...... Really?"

"Miss Ben never says anything that she is not sure of, but there are prerequisites for interpretation. ”

"Conditions?"

"That's right. According to my analysis, the lingua franca we are talking about today is borrowed from six languages, English, German, French, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese. To decipher the words on the obelisk, I need someone with deep knowledge of these six languages to assist me. I have some knowledge of English, German, and French, as well as myself, but I only know the other three. You can see why we're talking to you. ”

"Ah, totally understood. Li Mengxi said with a smile of "I see".

I'm afraid that what attracted the three of Richard was his expression when he solved the riddle, not boasting, which proved that he had considerable ability. Lomaria also said that the helpers she wants are people who have a deep understanding of Chinese, Russian, and Japanese, so it is possible for her to have at least one language if she has a certain ability.

So, can Li Mengxi be of any use? The answer is naturally yes, but he is not omnipotent.

"In Chinese, I am confident that I can help you, but I can't help you in Russian or Japanese. By the way, I'm alone. ”

"Alas!" It seems that just finding someone is not enough to satisfy Luo Maria, she really hopes that Li Mengxi is a great genius who can understand three languages, at least there must be relevant acquaintances in the square. However, she didn't seem to take into account Li Mengxi's age at all, how great can a seventeen-year-old boy be?

"It can't be helped. At this time, Richard said with a helpless face, as if he was about to sacrifice a killer weapon, "By the way, does Little Brother Mengxi hate 'eye-catching'?"

"If it helps with the interpretation, that's fine. Although he didn't understand what Richard meant, Li Mengxi still said what he thought in his heart. Now everything must be conceded before the important matter of interpreting the obelisk.

"That's OK. With that, Richard turned and went straight to the obelisk in the center of the square. Li Mengxi didn't understand what he was going to do, and Lomaria and Williams also looked at each other. There was no way, and the three of them had to follow him.

The obelisk had a towering pedestal, and Li Mengxi and the three of them saw Richard climb up quickly, stood up and shouted.

"Hey, hey, please pay attention here!"

Naturally, all the players turned their eyes to him at his shouting, and then many of them talked about his identity.

"Everyone, please pay close attention to the upper left corner of your field of vision!

Hearing this, countless players finally noticed the presence of the information. Just as they were reading carefully, Richard's voice came again.

"This message is a riddle on how to get out of the square! Don't worry, my companion and I have solved the riddle!"

At this moment, the words paused, and then Richard's big hand returned to his back, and slammed into the obelisk behind him with a crisp "pop".

"The words on this obelisk are the key to getting out of here!

At this moment, the square fell silent, and the next second, all kinds of cheers rose into the sky.

"Ahh

"Hooray!

"You are heroes!"

......

"Please be quiet!"

Richard, who had now become the temporary leader of the all-player, quieted the crowd and continued as the noise faded away.

"I don't know if you noticed, but now we're using a lingua franca that we've never been exposed to!"

The noise sounded again, and the players immediately communicated with each other, and then confirmed and convinced the truth of what Richard said, and everyone was surprised and turned their eyes to Richard again.

"Everyone, this lingua franca is exactly what matches the text of the obelisk! To be clear, one of my companions is confident that he can decipher the inscription through this!

The point is that at this time, Li Mengxi and the three of them also understood the intention of Richard's behavior. He really has him!

"Now, if anyone is confident in their knowledge of Japanese or Russian, please come to me......" Richard felt his trouser leg tighten as if he were pulling at him, as if to say something.

So, after leaning over to listen, Richard added a little to the words that were supposed to end.

"Also, people with exceptionally good memories are invited to come!"

At this point, Richard has all he has to say, and all that remains is to wait. However, the results were not as good as expected.

There were about 10,000 players in the square, but after listening to Richard's speech, they all remained silent. It is impossible that there is no one who meets the requirements, but those who meet the requirements have chosen to wait and see for the time being. It is human nature to be wary of others, especially in such an inexplicable situation, and it is surprising that people's vigilance is even heavier, and they are not to blame.

Finally, after a few minutes, a young girl mixed in with the crowd raised her arm. She is a yellow race, about sixteen or seventeen years old and about the same age as Li Mengxi, with waist-length black hair, snow-white skin, and a very beautiful face, which gives people a quiet impression as a whole.

"I'm Japanese! I can't say anything about Japanese, but Japanese is my mother tongue, so I might be able to help. Is that okay?"

"Of course, you're very welcome!"

"In that case, I'll leave the Russian language to me! I'm Russian. Hearing that Richard agreed with the girl, a silver-haired young man in his twenties in another place also raised his hand and said. This man has a very long face, but his figure is not more burly than Richard.

Immediately, the girl and the young man squeezed through the crowd together, and moved little by little to Richard's place. At this moment, at the front row of the crowd, near Richard, a skinny black boy, only eleven or twelve years old, with a beautiful face, appeared.

"Well, you seem to want someone with a good memory, right? I can do it to a certain extent. ”

In this way, Richard's interpretation team has three more people: a Japanese girl, Nane Hinata, a Russian strong man, Bordeaux, and a black American boy, Hughes.

So, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of players, this temporary team began to interpret the other party's spire. At the heart of the job is Lamaria, so it's only natural that she will be in charge of the command.

Richard, Williams, Li Mengxi, Nayin, Bordeaux, all the above five people have to do is to pronounce the language when Lomaria needs it, explain some vocabulary, colloquialisms, example sentences, do some translations, and occasionally need in-depth explanations.

Hughes's job was the most difficult and exhausting, as he acted as a recording tool that he didn't have now, and there was only one thing to do: to write down the important things as Romania said, and then repeat them to Lotalia when she needed them.

Time in the virtual world passed as the process of interpretation passed, and the sun slowly moved from midday to near dusk, and the whole world was shrouded in red clouds.

Tens of thousands of players were exhausted by the long waiting time, but the interpretation team was a thousand times more fortunate than them, but the hard work was not in vain.

"Cheng ...... It worked!" In an excited and tired cry from Romania, the six Richards sat down on the ground, and Hughes, in particular, was sweating profusely and was in a trance.

"So, Miss Romania...... What's written on it?" asked Richard, panting impatiently.

So Romaria continued to stand and read the words on the obelisk, but fortunately all four sides were the same, and she didn't need to move.

"Let me see ......"

As she spoke, Lomaria read the inscription aloud to everyone in the square, one by one:

"One, MysteryWorld is a game and not just a game, but also sickness, injury, and ...... Death and the like do exist. ”

Although many people expected this unfolding, they were still terrified when they actually heard the word death.

"Second, there are only non-universal resurrection methods in MysteryWorld, and each has its own costs and limitations. ”

This article immediately eased the looks of the players.,If you can be resurrected, it's easy to say anything.。 However, Li Mengxi saw that some people's expressions became more serious, including Richard on the side.

"Three, MysteryWorld has a level system, but level only corresponds to some special permissions of the player, and it has nothing to do with the growth of an individual's strength. ”

"Fourth, all the parameters that can be improved can only be improved by repetitive exercises, with no exceptions. ”

"Five, there is only one way to get free, to reach lv100. This is not a requirement for customs clearance, it is only for individuals. ”

At this point, the above is all the inscriptions. When this was fully revealed to the players, the square fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was stunned, and when the brain finally processed what they heard, the drastic change finally came.

Suddenly, with a roar that seemed to open the heavens and the earth, the world shook, and everyone's field of vision seemed to be a color TV screen. The scary process was only for a moment, and then everything returned to calm.

But what really happened in this moment?

The answer to this question was immediately discovered.

"Hey, the walls are gone!"

A young man stood outside the square and shouted as he waved inside.

His actions shattered the silence in an instant, and the players were immediately excited, and they all swarmed towards the entrances and exits scattered around, and the scene was like a river bursting its banks. It seems that they have forgotten about the heroes who have brought everyone out of trouble.

And the Richard Seven had no intention of leaving immediately, firstly because they were too tired and needed a proper rest, and secondly, they didn't want to try the crowded feeling in the crowd.

In addition to them, there are also many other players who are adaptable or very calm, who choose to stay in the square for the time being, and analyze the current situation with their original partners and those who have just decided to go together, and discuss future countermeasures.

"What are you going to do in the future?" At this time, Richard looked at Li Mengxi's four "outsiders" and asked, "If you don't mind, come with us." After all, online games are indispensable for teaming. ”

Hearing this suggestion, several people bowed their heads and considered it carefully. After waiting for a few seconds, Lomaria couldn't help but become impatient when she saw that none of the four of them had said anything.

"I'm not interested in what about you guys. Hughes, though, you must act with us for the time being!"

"Hey!" Hughes couldn't help but be surprised. "Why, don't treat me like a child!"

"Hah!" said Romania's expression of incredulity and disdain. "Did you misunderstand something? It's all good for a little kid like you, it's just that your head is precious! The results of the interpretation are all with you, and you don't want to go anywhere until I find something to record them." If you dare to sneak away...... Hey hey ......"

With a gloomy expression on her face, Romaria shook her hands into fists to startle Hughes.

"I, I know, I'll follow the eldest sister for the time being!"

"Hey, what do you mean by the name 'big sister'!"

"Alright, alright, Miss Romaria. Seeing this, Richard hurriedly intervened between the two, first stopping Lamaria from further threats, and then looked at Hughes. "Peace of mind, she's actually good, she's just a little tsundere. ”

"Hah, I didn't ......," Romania tried to continue arguing, but was calmed down by Richard with a serious expression and a gesture.

"So, what about you?" Richard then turned his attention to the other three.

"I'm sorry. Bordeaux was the first to speak, "To be honest, we don't have trust in each other as a basis for this cooperation, it's just a necessity." It's not that you're not worthy of being a partner, it's just that I'm more cautious. So, I'll be on my own for the time being, but maybe one day I'll hope you can accept me again. ”

"That's it, thank you. After Richard responded to Bordeaux, he looked at Li Mengxi and Naine Hinata. "How's the couple over here?"

This kind of obviously ridiculous words didn't matter to Li Mengxi, but Hinata Nain immediately turned red, it seems that the statement "a pair" touched her sensitive nerves.

"It's not ...... between us Besides, don't you all know it, we just just met......!

"I know! I know!" Faced with Hinata's unexpectedly serious performance, Richard could only laugh again and again. "It was just a joke, a joke. ”

"That's right. Naine Hinata finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a serious expression. "So, let me tell you about my decision. I'm going to go alone for a while. Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with everyone, but the inscription that Miss Lomaria interpreted just now says that 'all the parameters that can be improved can only be improved by repeated exercises'. With this in mind, teaming up is not a very efficient thing for personal growth, because you will unconsciously rely on others to reduce the degree of your own training. So, I think it's good to go it alone at this stage. ”

"Hmm. Reasonable. Richard nodded in agreement with the reason for hearing Nane Hinata. At this time, there was only one person left who did not speak, but Richard felt an atmosphere of rejection in advance. "Li Mengxi is also alone. ”

It's easy to talk to smart people, Li Mengxi thinks about it like this, he has his reasons and things that need to be hidden, teaming up is a bit cumbersome for him, and to be honest, the otaku life in the past two years has made him a little unsociable.

Of course, these reasons can't be said explicitly, so Li Mengxi found a high-sounding reason.

"Ahh As Hinata-sama said, so I'm going to go alone too. Sorry. ”

"No, you don't have to take it too seriously. Everyone has their own aspirations. Then, the temporary team is disbanded. Looking forward to the day when we can meet again somewhere in this world. By the way, although the credibility is questionable right now, let's say a word...... Don't die!"

After that, perhaps to avoid embarrassment, the seven men left the square through four separate entrances and exits after separation.

When he completely stepped out of the towering wall, Li Mengxi couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.

The medieval-style cityscape stretches to the end of the horizon, where the sky, the earth, and the sunset converge, how spectacular, how beautiful. Such a world has the allure to fascinate people instantly.

At this moment, there was a voice echoing in the heart of Li Mengxi, who couldn't stagger his gaze. No matter who stole the brother's game, the world presented in front of you at this moment will always be the world of the brother. And now, I'm about to gallop across the land of this MysteryWorld.

But a month later...... 234 people died.
