Volume 2: The Game of Zero Chapter 1 Welcome, Game of Zero

[Error, Error, Error......]

In OPEX, Ning He looked at the error in the prompt box that popped up, and a feeling of uneasiness swelled in his heart. He quickly called up the friends list, and was surprised to find that the status of everyone in the entire friends list was displayed as a gray offline logo, which he had never seen in the past, and he could not contact them through the friends list.

"What's going on......" Ning He muttered to himself.

Some rising data fragments suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Ning He looked down at his hands, his hands were digitized without noticing, his feet, and his waist were also disappearing at the same time. Paragraph after piece of data code detached from his shattered body, and they became transparent on the way up, eventually disappearing from Ning He's vision.

Ning He looked at this situation, his brows furrowed, he wanted to do something. It's just that his hands have completely disappeared, the process of digitization has spread to his neck, and his body except for his head has disappeared. At this time, in the dark space, a lone head was suspended in the air, and the glimmer of light that devoured his body gradually engulfed his head from bottom to top.

The data soared, and Ning He quietly disappeared into the virtual reality game called OPEX. His data is turned into the most basic signal, passing through countless network layers, and finding a hidden entrance to the lowest layer of data redundancy.

His signal was dragged into a massive stream of data and passed through the portal.

At the same time, on the Deep Blue forum, an inconspicuous post was sent out, signed by "Zero". The post is just a short line of words, and instead of even being delivered to a specific section, it is randomly distributed by the forum.

"Welcome to my world."

In the endless white space, a series of data converge, they are intertwined and combined into a peaceful appearance.

Ning He slowly opened his eyes, looking at such a white world with nothing.

"Toot."

His eyes were still a little confused, and he couldn't adjust to the environment here, when his shoulder was tapped from behind.

Ning He turned around, a little stiff and motionless. What caught my eye was a face with delicate features and a somewhat morbid paleness, with a crescent smile on her face, and her eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Hello."

Ning He slowly took a step back, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Hello." ”

"Uh-huh." The mysterious woman in front of her nodded seriously, she pointed to herself and introduced: "My name is Zero, and I am an intelligent life. Well, as you humans understand it, it's intelligent life. ”

"So... Am I crossing over now? Ning He asked thoughtfully, and at the same time, his steps unconsciously took two steps back, distancing himself from the woman in front of him who looked a little abnormal.

He glanced at the mysterious woman roughly, her body except her face was covered with a layer of milky white mist, and she couldn't see it really.

"Hee-hee, what are you looking at?" Zero looked at him with a smile, tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly patted his head with some annoyance, "You want to see my body clearly?" I forgot to shape it, so I'll see it when we meet next time. I'm a little bit on the table right now, and I've delayed a lot of things by taking the time to meet you! ”

Zero grimaced at him, with an innocent look.

Ning He felt a little amazed, even after seeing beauties like Madame and Gu Ziqing, he still had to admit the visual impact that the self-proclaimed intelligent life in front of him had on him.

Zero's somewhat pale face revealed a feeling of perfection, not like the world.

Ning He's mind was spinning rapidly, and he felt a little at a loss. Zero looked at him and suddenly said apologetically, "Ah! I forgot to answer your question. ”

Ning He stared at Zero tightly, in such an environment, the woman in front of him was the only breakthrough.

Zero Dao: "You haven't crossed over, and this is not one of those fantasy worlds of your humans. We are still in the universe as you know it, and you are still in the network. ”

"Network?" Ning He frowned, he thought of the scene where he had turned into data fragments before, "Are we here or the network?" What about you? ”

"Me?" Zero pointed to himself and smiled, "I was born half a latitude below you, and our world happens to be connected to your network. And I walked through that door and brought you into my world. ”

"Uh......"

Ning He's head was a little confused, he looked at the smiling woman in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while. He had a lot of questions on his mind right now, such as where he was and why he was here, but he couldn't say anything. It seems that he now has more important issues to solve than these problems, and there is something wrong with their conversation.

Ning He fell into deep thought, he carefully recalled the not-so-long conversation between the two, and finally asked slowly, "Why did you take the time to see me?" ”

"Because 'hello'!"

Zero didn't think about it, and blurted out.

"What's hello?" Ning He's brows deepened, and he didn't go around. However, he noticed that from the first time he saw her, there were always fine points of light around Zero that were merging into her body, and the milky white mist that shrouded her body gradually became transparent.

His heart moved, and it could be a kind of growth.

"That's what I said to you earlier. Although we are meeting for the first time, we have said hello to each other a long time ago, and as a reminder, it was a long, long time ago. At that time, you were a child, according to your human concept. ”

Child.

Ning He's mind quickly went through his childhood and adolescence, abandoned by his biological parents, and then fed by an old man until he was twelve years old. At the age of twelve, it was a turning point in his life when his wife took him back to the Morning Star Orphanage and took him out of the streets.

It was the second turning point in his life, the first being that the old man fed him who was abandoned.

Later, with the support of the Morning Star Orphanage, Ning He was able to enter the school like all normal federal children, run in the sun, and finally pass the big exam and was admitted to Baiyun University.

came to the university, met Ye Qingyun, met Chen Yuan, Lin Ling, and the people of the Jiwu Society. I met, Gu Ziqing......

Ning He looked at her with confused eyes, he didn't remember where he had said hello, except for the first time when he got the microbrain, he stupidly wanted to talk to the microbrain.

He was shocked and looked at Zero in disbelief.

"The one who replied to me at the beginning wasn't the fixed recovery set by the system, but you?"

"Of course." Zero's smooth nose tip is slightly upturned, a little proud.

Ning He looked at her dumbfounded, and suddenly coughed twice and said, "Then you see that we are all old friends, can we ......?"

"No way!" Zero shook her head categorically, directly interrupting what Ning He wanted to say, she looked at him, and said with crooked eyebrows: "You are an important part of my game, and I can't play this game without you." ”

"What do you mean? What game? ”

Ning He blurted out as he found himself starting to sink deeper and deeper into his goal, getting farther and farther away from his original goal of finding a way.

"This is my world, and you're going to play a game with me. After the game is cleared, I'll let you go back. If you fail the game, all of you - you're going to have to stay here and never go back to the real world. ”

Zero said with a chuckle, looking at Ning He's eyes, his back was indeed cold, and he heard the "you" in Zero's words,

He still had a glimmer of hope and asked bitterly, "Do we mean I'm not the only one?" ”

"A part of your human civilization, one hundred and ninety-nine thousand six hundred and twenty-one thousand one hundred and twelve, to be exact."

Zero said the number with a bright smile.

Ning He slowly closed his eyes.

His voice was a little hoarse, "Is Gu Ziqing also inside?" ”

"Yes." Zero nodded dryly.

"What about Ye Qingyun?"

"Yes."

"Chen Yuanlin Ling?"

"Yes."

“......”

Ning He slowly said one name after another, and finally he struggled a little and asked two more names with luck.

"Su Wenxiao and Yang Hu... Are they, are they? ”

Zero's voice sounded like a heavenly sound, and Ning He's heart sank completely.

"Yes."

"What is the purpose of your coming to me?" He looked at her with suppressed anger in his eyes, but Ning He didn't make a move. He mentally tried to contact the door, but there was no response, thinking that it was cut off by Zero, as it had said before.

A mysterious woman with the ability to cut off the door, Ning He has given up the idea of violence. Now the only way to save yourself seems to be to participate in her game.

"For no other purpose, to meet you." Zero blinked his eyes with long eyelashes, "By the way, let you help me bring a message to these billion-ninety-nine thousand six hundred and sixty-one thousand one hundred and twelve people, telling them the rules of the game and the way back to reality." The time limit is one year, and whoever can take off the 'crown of the stars' will be able to save everyone and return to the real world. ”

"Of course, this is not without a price, in my game everyone only has three lives, and after the three lives are used up, you will be wiped out of the data. According to you humans, clearing data is the equivalent of brain death in the real world. Zero looked grim and said lightly.

"Also, don't think that your Blue Star Federation has the power to save you from the outside, although we are still in one universe, it is out of your human network, they can't find it, and they can't physically rescue you. If you are forced out of the virtual reality pod, you will only be an unaware walking corpse. ”

Zero fell silent after speaking, and neither of the two in the white space was speaking.

Ning He pondered silently for three minutes, and looked at Zero Dao with a clear expression: "How do you start the game?" ”

Zero was stunned, she didn't expect him to think about it so quickly, originally she had prepared some coercive measures, Zero smiled like a flower, she bowed slightly to the very inconspicuous young man in front of her, who was placed in the crowd, and said, "Now." Welcome to, My Game. ”

Ning He looked down at his hands, his mind thinking about his friends who were also trapped here.

His hands gradually clenched into fists.
