[Ahem..... Gu Qiao, do you feel okay......]

In my head, a mechanical sound sounded.

"I'm alright, Eva, are you alright?"

Gu Qiao stopped rummaging and responded immediately.

[I can't die for the time being.... Gu Qiao, do you remember what happened before you passed out? 】

In consciousness, the breath of Rieva was still very weak.

"Faintly."

Gu Qiao wiped the dust from his hands and frowned in recall.

She didn't remember how she killed Ron and his teammates, but she did vaguely remember some images, the countless black shadows in the endless darkness.

They whispered, arguing about her fate.

Gu Qiao could feel that that memory seemed to be deliberately covered with a layer of black fog, preventing her from snooping clearly.

The last clear memory is that those shadows are all saying the same sentence:

"Gu Qiao, stay alive and keep our last home."

The Last Home..... What does it mean?

Gu Qiao's thoughts were a little confused and dazed.

[Gu Qiao doesn't have to forcibly recall..... Last time I said something was wrong with your body..... At first, I thought it was a data flaw brought about by you binding a game quota to become a player. 】

Eva's tone was somewhat serious.

[But during the time you killed Ron, three strange black vortices appeared in your consciousness, devouring everything around you like crazy, almost, almost I was gone. 】

Eva still shuddered when she thought about it.

Three, black swirls?

Gu Qiao closed her eyes, and in her consciousness, there were really three black areas, perhaps because she was awake, they were very quiet at the moment.

The super search field of vision narrowed, and Gu Qiao's heart paused slightly.

Code......

Flashing codes quickly, lurking in the black zone.

Was she the one who received the 3/10 code?

These codes, which seem to give her great power, allowed her to survive in front of Ron.....

[I've carefully observed that these black areas are made up of special codes, perhaps related to the virus Ron and the others are looking for, but they do not erode your consciousness, but merge with your consciousness. 】

Eva was a little confused.

Hesitantly said what it had decided: "They fit perfectly with your body." ”

Fit, virus ....

Gu Qiao frowned, trying to grasp a certain fleeting guess in his mind, but he was swayed by vague memories and couldn't put it into practice.

She slowly opened her eyes and asked in her consciousness: 'Eva, what do you mean when you say more than once that my body is incomplete?' ’

[It's literal consciousness, your data is mutilated, the writing is incomplete, and there are large missing blanks..... I don't know if it's because 'Gu Qiao' is a cannon fodder NPC that exists in multiple copies, and the data is lost in the process of uploading to each copy. 】

Eva's words made Gu Qiao fall into a short thought.

Leia once said that this was not just a game, but a reflection of another world, and that he, as a member of the organization behind it, was ordered to go to the background world.

He had also told them that only when they reached the background world could the Star Net take them home.

She hardly needed too much speculation to be sure that the background world he was talking about might be the real world, and the ultimate goal of these players was to go to the background world in order to obtain resources and bring them back.

No matter how the space is superimposed, this reflection world must find a counterpart in the real background world.

Eva said that the hijacked NPCs will return to their original world after clearing the dungeon.....

So, what are the NPCs that exist in this reflection world?

Data ghosts?

And her, if you can find a correspondence, there are so many 'Gu Qiao' in this game copy, wouldn't it be chaotic?

Incomplete body......

She vaguely remembered that in the darkness, the shadows had said the same.

But after waking up, the hallucinations of those chaotic moments have become too distant, and her memory has become better than ordinary since she was a child, and she can rarely forget the things she has seen.

I can't remember, but there is only one possibility.

In the darkness, those shadows didn't want her to remember, and they manipulated her memory.

Just like Anna, they clear the player's memory.

"What the hell am I ..... What is it? ”

The girl's brows furrowed, and her tone was a little strangely harsh.

Those vague shadows, who are they..... What is that dark space?

"Time Gap ....."

The noun that he subconsciously muttered made Gu Qiao pause suddenly.

[Hey, Gu Qiao, how do you know the time gap? 】

Eva was a little surprised.

Gu Qiao came back to his senses: "You know? ”

Eva hesitated for a moment before whispering, "There is the gray edge of the game server, and it is also the place called the dark domain by the game administrator, which is the game server, and the garbage dump for dumping discarded data. 】

[The data of players who have not cleared the dungeon and have been disqualified, the NPC data body that has been slaughtered and killed by the player, the abandoned superimposed space, and the collapsed timeline-derived dungeon world will all be dumped into the time gap, and then completely eliminated and disintegrated with the passage of time.] 】

Eva paused and added, "Gu Qiao, how do you know...... Except for the game master, NPCs and players will not know? ”

Gu Qiao raised his eyebrows and did not answer, but asked rhetorically:

"Then how do you know?"

Eva froze for a moment.

After an awkward silence, one person and one system tacitly agreed.

Everyone has secrets, so there's no need to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing that Gu Qiao was still rummaging around on the boat, Eva spoke with some flattery:

[Gu Qiao, you don't have to worry too much, Xie Ran is alive, it's just a little wrong.... He and the little beggar suddenly disappeared from the ship. 】

"Little beggar?"

Gu Qiao raised his eyebrows, and the only two people who Yeva called the little beggar were Lu Yi.

One is Gu Huai, who is squatting outside the Gu family and has no NPC level yet.
