"Let's assume so." Lemuel spoke thoughtfully, "The purpose of the 'World' was not to build a second home for humanity in itself, and a group of people within the GTC who believe in Doomsday want to turn it into a permanent utopia, so they secretly start to act. From this point of view, the Brotherhood of Red Owls you mentioned is definitely inextricably linked to the undercurrents within the GTC. ”

"I can understand the spirit entering the game, but how does the body preserve?" asked Shamcheel.

Xiao Liping took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped it and put it on: "This is a mature technology, reproducing a personality will not take up too many resources, the brain can be perfectly simulated, and the physical body is not necessary." In fact, Catholicism believes that the flesh is the vehicle of all greed and sin, and I do not know the opinion of the Vatican, but ascetic popes such as the Catholic Council would definitely welcome the abandonment of the flesh. ”

"Tell us about our role in the world. It's really not like a game. Gu Tie proposed.

Sakir spoke a little shyly: "I am the cook of the noble lord of the war castle of the Ebenezer Republic in the back of the Western Continent...... As of now, life is peaceful, and he is starting a young love affair with the young master of the old man's family, while under the pressure of the war, the Zawi people have come to the city. ”

Everyone laughed, but they were all aware of the homosexual status of the American astronauts, and they didn't make any jokes.

"I'm an astrologer apprentice in the Western Continent, and now I've gone to the Southern Continent, and I've encountered a lot of strange things, and I don't know what I'm doing now. Speaking of which, I think my gaming personality is a bit strange and a bit ...... Uncontrolled look. Gu Tie scratched his head.

"I'm also in the South. Xiao Liping glanced at him, "A member of the Vedic Underground Rebel Army, who is working to overthrow Brahma's rule. ”

"Stargazer of the Tower of the Ancient Kingdom of the Eastern Continent. "Something to do with the astrologers, Adam?" said Shamcheel.

"Stargazers, do you look at the stars every day?" Gu Tie asked.

"Observe the starry sky, predict what is coming, and make decisions for the emperor. The Indian woman said.

Gu Tie immediately shook his head and said, "It's not the same at all, astrologers are practical fighters who shout and kill, and predicting the future is despised." ”

"The Northern Continent, the Northern Elven Branch, which has been trapped for a hundred years on an isolated island in the center of a huge magma lake, has recently built a boat that can travel in magma, ready to go out and explore the outside world," Lemuel said. ”

Everyone looked at the tall and handsome Nordic man and felt that this role was simply tailor-made for him.

"I said I said. I am the king of a small country!hahahahaha, having just won a war, winning three castles and five thousand acres of land, and am about to declare war on my next neighbor!" exclaimed Matriel, dancing and dancing as the yellow pom-poms on his hat jumped comically.

"Where?" asked Xiao Liping.

"Confidentiality!" replied the African, gleefully.

The companions tacitly declined to comment, except for Chamchell snorting disdainfully from his nostrils.

"My role...... I can't tell. Khakir in the shadows said.

"Okay. Two questions, first, can we get together in the game? Second, is there any practical significance for us to come together in the game?"

There was silence in the room for a moment, "It's hard, no. Gu Tie replied.

"Just a few of us, without the right and resources, to travel all the transportation of the second world and converge in one place?" Lemuel shook his head. "The premise of answering the second question is our response to the GTC's doomsday. With what attitude do we face the hostile prophets?"

"Ahh Matril gulped down his wine.

"Play your war games, go for it, superficial Negro-Bantu." ”

The Chinese and Philippine presidents apparently did not understand the anthropologist's words: "Who?"

"Black people from small places. Gu Tie translated.

While everyone was talking, the pure white room suddenly trembled violently, and many jagged horizontal ripples appeared in the space, the light flickered on and off, and the four walls shattered, revealing a strange multicolored luster, all of which showed that the data structure of this virtual space was collapsing.

"What's going on?" people naturally turned their eyes to Gu Tie, and a look of disbelief appeared on the face of the owner of the space: "We are under attack...... No, it's not an attack, it's the timing that keeps the virtual space stable is being consumed......"

Only Xiao Liping looked confused, the space he was in was real, the room located in the underground courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing was still calm, even the frequency of the illumination of the wall luminous panel had not changed, in his eyes, the virtual image of the six partners appeared a brief flicker, in the era when the network was not yet developed, this can be said to be a normal phenomenon of holographic projection, and now the new quantum network East Asia route has just been established, Xiao Liping feels that this is not abnormal at all.

"Wait, wait......" Gu Tie raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and quickly retrieved the data log of the encrypted space, and at the same time mobilized a large amount of timing from the Pure Land to invest in the virtual space, and he found that a certain strange data singularity was consuming a lot of resources like a black hole.

The light of the entire space was gone, the sound was gone, the sensation was gone, and the seven people sat in complete nothingness, only able to feel each other's presence through the sign of data connectivity.

After a long and endless moment, the light appeared, the sound appeared, the feeling appeared, the trembling of the space turned into ripples and slowly disappeared, the walls returned to their original state, the cracks in the air gradually calmed down, and the pure white world seemed to have not been harmed at all, still quietly guarding the seven companions of the betrayer.

"What's going on?" Xiao Liping looked a little puzzled, "Your signal doesn't seem to be stable. ”

The river of data rushed in front of Gu Tie, he suddenly covered his chest, waved his hand to disperse the flow of data, his eyes froze on a certain point of nothingness in the space, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Hey, hey. Matriel moved his ass and poked Adam, who was completely stunned, "Crash? Would you like to take a sip of the distilled spirit mixed with the magic potion?" Although the computer can't reproduce the magic of the magic potion, for some reason, you can completely feel the shaman's spell running around you, destroying the filth. ”

This time, Gu Tie did not refuse, reached out and snatched the wine bottle in Matriel's hand, and poured several sips. The implanted chip released the anesthetic signal of ethylene glycol, and his nerves became dull, gradually recovering from the shock, and it took a minute for him to speak with difficulty: "That, that......"

The partners present had never seen Gu Tie lose his temper like this, no one opened his mouth to urge him, Xiao Liping frowned tightly and looked at the strange companion.

Gu Tie raised his fingers and motioned for everyone to raise their heads.

Everyone looked up in surprise.

"Ah......h

The bright red numbers that pulsed in the air changed, the fourth digit stopped turning, and the two-year calculations finally reached the reading of fate, and the date of the Last Judgment had appeared, if it was indeed the end of the world......

XX.XX。

Year 2053.

In 2053!

When everyone stopped thinking and moving in shock, Gu Tie flicked his fingers, and a line of green numbers appeared below the red countdown: 2052.11.5.

"It's November 5 at 15 GMT. "The best thing we have to do is that we still have a year and two months." And at worst, there are fifty-six days left in the history of the world. ”

“...... Give me wine. Xiao Liping, who didn't drink a drop of alcohol, stretched out his hand. Matriel immediately hugged the distilled spirit bottle: "I need it more, you get it yourself." ”

Gu Tie raised his palm, and a bottle of spirits rose in front of everyone, and according to his preferences, everyone was allocated a bottle of Scotch single malt whisky, and only a can of twenty-year-old Red Star Erguotou was prepared for Lao Xiao.

Everyone unscrewed the bottle and poured the golden liquor. In the shadows, Khakir still sat quietly with his knees folded, "We thought of this outcome in the beginning, so why be so nervous. He commented lightly.

"It's one thing to guess, it's another thing to see. Gu Tie wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, "Just like human beings, they are destined to die from the day they are born." Seventy, eighty, or twenty-five, who knows? Everybody lives with deep fear in their hearts, but ignorance is the best hypnotic medicine that allows us to eat, to sleep, to have fun in time, and not to think about the promised death. If one day the Grim Reaper sends a gilded invitation with the exact date to take you to the Hellball, whether we are eighty, ninety, thirty-five, even if we live long, we will be tormented and exhausted by this date. When we didn't know when we were going to die, we would jog leisurely in the park and enjoy the scenery before we could do our best, and when we knew we were dead, we would take part in a 5,000-meter run in the stadium, and no one would say you couldn't listen to music, drink water, or sing, but no matter what, the finish line would be close to a point with every step forward. This feeling is by no means pretty. ”

Shamcheel suddenly chuckled: "If it's the end of the world, the ecology before the destruction day is the best material for group psychological research...... I'm going to get the Nobel Prize for it......"

Matriel stood up suddenly, "When will the meeting end?" I still have something to do...... Before the end of the world, at least bring Chad down, and the hateful little country in the game!"

Xiao Liping took off his glasses tiredly: "Don't worry, we have to discuss the next action." Sakhir, you are the convener of this meeting, say something. ”

The American astronaut looked at the bottle in his hand and opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.

In fact, no one knew what to say at this time, so they all chose to remain silent.
