Chapter 267: Who is the virus
"Ellen?"
"Yes, she's a very important person. Kidd doesn't explain much here: "I'll tell you about the details when I leave town." β
When Louis heard Kidd say this, he didn't continue to ask questions, but looked back to see how his companions were preparing.
Everyone got up one after another, and was sorting out their equipment, although they didn't know what kind of situation they would encounter when they went out this time, and they didn't know if the weapons in their hands would be useful.
Winchester rifles, revolvers, long knives, long swords, and even knight's guns, each with weapons on their bodies, it was as if they were going to destroy thousands of enemies, after all, Louis and Artoria had not made such an exaggerated formation when they eliminated the invading soldiers the other day.
"Are you going to deal with me?" Kidd looked at the heavily armed crowd and looked at Louis jokingly.
"No, simply to deal with a possible crisis...... Will we be in trouble?"
"To be honest, I don't know, it's getting weird now...... Come with me first. Kidd shook his head helplessly, and before he was about to leave the town, he took a big circle around the town and called Flora: "You can also act with us." β
"Why should I, why do I want to go with you?" Flora did not rest outside the tavern this time, but still did not go to the hotel to stay, but found a quiet and uninhabited corner to rest casually.
As soon as it was dawn, the young gunman, who had been chattering beside him, found him and was with Louis.
"Don't you want to know the truth about this place?"
...... "Flora really wanted to figure out what this place was, and what was going on here?"
Kidd knew that Flora was already tempted, and immediately pointed to the outline of the mountain in the distance: "Just go there and you will know all the answers." β
Looking in the direction Kidd pointed, everyone was surprised to find that as the sun gradually rose, a beautiful rainbow slowly appeared above Mount Genesis.
Today is the official opening day of Genesis Mountain!
According to legend, only when the rainbow appears can you actually enter the mountain.
Seeing the rainbow, Flora, who wanted to find out the truth, finally agreed to join the makeshift team and left Paradise with the others.
They left the other side of Paradise, past warehouses and mines, and still headed for the mountains in the distance.
Until I couldn't even see the mine, and I never saw that the distance between it and Genesis Mountain had been shortened.
Wangshan ran a dead horse, not everyone has heard of this sentence here, but everyone present understands this truth, so no one expressed dissatisfaction, but just said a few words, why not prepare horses and other means of transportation in advance?
When he came out, Kidd didn't even have a horse, and when Ellen was about to take his horse out, he was stopped by Kidd.
Louis didn't speak, and he wanted to know what Kidd was up to, and he wanted to see when Kidd would tell the full story.
Specifically calling Ellen and Flora, Louis doesn't think it's an unjustified act, but what is the purpose of calling these two people?
It just so happened that Kidd didn't move on, but put the backpack behind him on the ground and got down on one knee to rummage around.
"Why don't you explain the situation now?" Louis crouched down next to Kidd, watching Kidd rummage through with his head down, as if there were too many things in his bag to dig through what he wanted to use.
"Now?" Kidd looked up at the area, everyone was staring at him, he thought for two seconds, and felt that it was okay to say it now, "Okay, I wanted to wait until I got to the place." β
He stopped rummaging in his hands and sat down on the ground: "Where do you start?"
"You say you're a technician who wants to solve the virus, so let's start here...... What are you going to do? Why are we going to Genesis Mountain, what the hell is there, and what about Ellen and Flora, you shouldn't just call them two, right?"
"Of course not. Kidd then elaborated.
At this time, everyone present really understood the specific situation:
First of all, Louie was in a game world that was connected to dreams, something they knew beforehand.
The game's servers were hacked, so all sorts of things happened, and Kidd was the technician hired by the game's operators to work on this particular game.
As for Genesis Mountain, it is actually the 'core' of this world, and if Genesis Mountain is captured, it means that this game will be completely destroyed or occupied by hackers.
"For example, the various enemies that appeared outside the town before are the embodiment of the virus in this world. β
Before entering this world, Kidd also made a lot of preparations: for example, he installed protection for the core data of Genesis Mountain to prevent the invasion of viruses.
"Then why did you come in?" Cassel was a little puzzled when he heard this, if Kidd had already protected the core data outside, what was he doing in this game or dream world himself?
"The hacker who invaded was very powerful, although I added protection to the core data at the last moment, but he also made it impossible for me to completely clean up the intrusion virus and repair the original data......"
Kidd briefly explained that he had to enter the game and be in Genesis Mountain to completely fix the anomalous data, which was no longer possible from the outside.
"What kind of bullshit setting is this...... Louis just wanted to complain, but 'the setting is here', he can only sigh and accept this setting.
But to put it another way, if Kidd didn't have to go into this world to solve the problem, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to understand the whole situation so easily.
In addition, according to Kidd's account, he was well prepared before entering.
For example, it would be difficult for him to enter Genesis Mountain without a key, so he prepared a key for himself: this key was Ellen as the sheriff of Paradise Town.
In addition, he knows that he has to deal with possible 'enemies', so he has designed an auxiliary program for himself, which is actually Flora, who has good combat effectiveness.
"What I don't understand is, why is she the way she is?"
Neither Flora nor Ellen behaved in line with his original setting, according to which Flora was supposed to be a tool man who would obey his commands, and he didn't design Flora to be a tall blonde swordswoman, let alone be as self-aware as she is now.
Ellen is supposed to be a female gunman who will be easily attracted to him, and he also has a bad taste to design a love at first sight scene, but it doesn't work.
Because Louie was next to him when he met Ellen, Kidd initially regarded Louie as an intrusion virus program, and only after some contact did he know that Louie was not his 'enemy'.
Now that the situation is clear, everyone has figured out where they are, and they know the solution: if you want to solve the problem, you must first destroy the invading virus and restore the data of the entire game world to its original state - so you must enter the Genesis Mountain and restore the world to normal from the inside, and only when it is restored can you have the option to 'quit the game'.
Even if these things have nothing to do with Louie, if they want to forcibly exit, they still have to go to Genesis Mountain, where there is a way to leave - the rest of the place has been occupied and tampered with by the virus, and they can't leave.
As for why it looks like a dream, because playing this game is like a dream for players, and according to Kidd, the name of this game is Dreamland.
"......" Listening to what Kidd said, Louis only felt that there were so many elements that it overflowed, and he didn't know where to start complaining for a while.
"Okay, now that the situation is over, are there any questions?"
There were a lot of questions, and everyone around him was asking all kinds of questions, and Kidd felt like he was in the middle of a busy bazaar in an instant, and he didn't know who to answer first.
Flora, for example, didn't understand what Kidd was saying, and she didn't think she was a combat weapon that Kidd 'created'βshe was clearly created by the organization.
In addition, Ellen also couldn't believe that she was actually a 'created' virtual person who didn't exist, she suspected that this little white face was nonsense at all, and suspected that he had a problem with his brain, if it weren't for so many people around her, she would have pulled out a pistol and taught this kid a hard lesson.
Wade's question was a bit more ambiguous, and he suddenly said, "What is the specific content of this game?" and then "If I am a big villain in my dream, will it affect my personality in reality?" and then asks, "What is the rating of this game?"
Carla and Spiritbutterfly didn't say much, just stood by and didn't know what to think, while Cassel and Louie discussed what to do next.
"Next, follow Kidd into Genesis Mountain and find a way to leave?"
"That's how it should be, according to Kidd, we have to take Ellen with us, or we won't be able to enter Mount Genesis...... I didn't expect Ellen to be the so-called key. "This is really unexpected, but it doesn't seem special when you think about it, there are countless similar settings and movies that have been used.
"Have you ever thought about another possibility?" Cassel lowered his voice and glanced at Kidd, who was being disturbed by Wade's noise, to make sure he wouldn't notice him before making sure he made his guess, "Maybe Kidd is telling the truth, but maybe he wasn't actually a technician who came to clean up the virus." β
"What do you mean...... Kidd could be the virus that wants to hack into the core data?"
