Chapter 1: Fatal System Error: Stop!
“…… Fatal system error detected...... The body was badly damaged......"
“…… Fatal system error detected...... Synaptic dissolution ......"
“…… Fatal system error detected...... Cardiac arrest! ”
"First aid measures are being taken!"
In his sleep, Ning Yuan felt his heart being clenched hard, and he woke up suddenly, only to find that his body couldn't move at all.
I can't even open my eyelids.
What's going on?
Ghost press?
Ning Yuan remembered the popular science he had seen before, in the process of sleeping, the person's consciousness woke up, but the body had not woken up yet, so there was a phenomenon of ghost pressing the bed.
But what's going on with the surrounding sounds?
"Crunch ......"
The sound of a giant beast chewing surrounded his ears in 3D, and Ning Yuan's scalp was a little numb when he heard it.
Is it a hallucination?
No! The sound was so clear that he could even hear the small sound of food rubbing between his teeth, densely packed, as if gnawing at his bedboard.
And so it goes...... Ning Yuan was sure that he would definitely be the monster's food for tonight.
Get moving!
Ning Yuan tried hard to sit up, but his body seemed to be in another world, and he couldn't receive any signals.
He couldn't see anything, and he couldn't make any sound.
Get up!
Consciousness fades away.
What's going on...... Who's going to save me......
In a trance, Ning Yuan seemed to hear an ethereal and beautiful female voice:
"Already...... Has it been so long...... Ningyuan ...... Hold on, I'll pull you out! ”
Suddenly, a line of big red characters suddenly came to mind, and Ning Yuan felt the words rather than looking at them.
“…… Fatal System Error Error! Stop! ……”
"First aid measures are being taken!"
The feeling of my heart being clenched came again.
As the heart paced, those crunching sounds dissipated a lot, and Ning Yuan felt that his ability to think seemed to have returned.
Arrest?
Does this mean cardiac arrest?
What's going on?
What are the voices you just heard?
In the midst of this scattered information, a terrible conjecture surged into Ning Yuan's mind.
It won't be ...... Gas, huh?
Fear permeated his heart, and Ning Yuan began to desperately reminisce.
As a small video UP owner, he received a business order for the first time yesterday.
In order to earn this money, Ning Yuan has gone all out these days, cutting videos every day, changing copywriting and staying up until the early hours of the morning, and letting him drink up a pound of coffee...... Working at such high intensity......
Depend on!
Really Karma?
The sound of chewing, and the words...... Are they all pre-death hallucinations?
Is it so real?
“…… Fatal System Error! Stop! ……”
"First aid measures are being taken!"
The feeling of the heart being clenched returned, and unlike the last time, the heart did not stop, but beat slowly and vigorously.
Although it was very weak, Ning Yuan could clearly feel the rhythm of this life.
It didn't take long for the frequency of his heart to beat faster, like the sound of a drum, exploding like thunder in Ning Yuan's mind.
The sound of the giant thing chewing slowly dissipated.
"Cardiac pacing is successful, the artificial lung piece is activated, and the blood oxygen interaction begins."
This is...... Lived?
Ning Yuan felt his chest rise and fall slightly.
With the infusion of oxygen, a sudden screeching noise of electricity sounded in the ears.
A smell of blood rushed through his nostrils to his brain, making Ning Yuan feel like vomiting, and there was a slight coolness on his skin.
It was very uncomfortable, but Ning Yuan was in anticipation, all of which was foreshadowed.
I'm about to come back to life!
"The bionic lung tablets were successfully activated, blood oxygen exchange began, and hormone secretion was regulated."
After a while, Ning Yuan felt that his breathing was much easier, and now he could clearly feel the presence of muscles.
I moved my fingers, it was a little hard, and my muscles were very stiff, but it meant ...... The hand is still there!
It looks like it's a hallucination.
"The prosthetic eye is being reactivated."
The intense light rushed into view, and Ning Yuan felt that he was almost blinded, and in this incandescent patch, a large number of symbols and figures of unknown meaning flickered.
After about thirty seconds, Ning Yuan barely saw the form with a clear structure.
"The prosthetic eye was successfully restarted."
"The system starts self-testing."
The graphics in front of him began to stabilize, although there was still a constant flickering noise and floating red and blue differences, but Ning Yuan was able to see the object clearly.
Blood!
Blood everywhere!
At this moment, Ning Yuan was lying on the ground, his vision was severely restricted, and the only thing he could see was blood.
Some were freshly drained blood, while others were dry and blackened.
There were traces of friction everywhere on these blood stains, and Ning Yuan could clearly see that they were dragged out by humans with their hands and torso!
On some of the scratches on his five fingers, Ning Yuan could see the broken nails, which gave him a creepy feeling.
Where is this?
Ning Yuan struggled to prop himself up with his hands, slumped on the ground, and looked around.
As his posture changed from lying down to sitting, Ning Yuan's vision expanded a lot, and he clearly saw the scene around him.
It's a confined space, surrounded by walls made of steel, covered in deep claw marks, and a ring of LED lights on the ceiling that glows dangerously red.
In the corner of the room not far away, there was a hill of corpses.
Ning Yuan looked closely and was surprised to find that these corpses could hardly be said to be complete human beings, and some of their limbs shimmered with metallic luster.
These limbs are not made of flesh and blood, but are metal machines, and some of the broken metal limbs are able to see wires and hydraulics.
The scene in front of me is almost like a bad cyberpunk movie.
There's enough sci-fi.
Where is this?
I'm ...... No way.
Ning Yuan, who grew up reading online articles, guessed a possibility.
This is...... Wearn?
Where's the fuck?
Ghost in the Shell or Cyberpunk 2077?
Ning Yuan propped himself up and staggered towards the pile of corpses.
Looking closer, he found that the bodies were incomplete, either missing arms or missing legs, and the severed limbs were not complete, with obvious tear marks.
Scarlet blood flowed through the wounds and metal, dripping onto the ground and converging into puddles.
Ning Yuan, who was stimulated by such a bloody scene, couldn't help but retch.
What's going on?
Ning Yuan immediately remembered the sound just now, the sound of those giant beasts chewing.
This...... Could it be that the owner of the voice did it?
Made, I definitely didn't wear it to a good place!
What to do?
Ning Yuan was a little overwhelmed.
In the past, he was just a comfortable young man in a small town, when did he ever suffer from such danger?
It's like throwing a man who has never been short of water into the desert, which is a little too exciting.
Fortunately, Ning Yuan used to be a horror game blogger, and he had played a lot of bloody and thrilling games, which allowed him to maintain his basic thinking skills.
The corpse in front of him was clearly divided into two piles.
One pile is a pile of colorful and disorganized clothes, and another pile of uniform clothing, gray-black shirts with a logo on the shoulder.
Ning Yuan took a closer look, and there was a semicircle on the top, and a horizontal line was drawn in the middle, the shape reminded Ning Yuan of the horizon of a black hole.
There is a line of small characters embroidered underneath: Demon Cave Military Industry.
Company name?
What company?
I haven't heard of it, which world am I wearing?
These things were not enough for Ning Yuan to analyze the situation, and he began to think about another thing.
How did these people die?
It seems that they were all in the same danger during their lifetimes......
Has the danger passed?
Hold the grass!
Ning Yuan couldn't wait to scrape his ears.
Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan, do you think this is a detective game, what are you still thinking about, run!
This place is not to stay for long!
Although he still couldn't figure out the situation and looked confused, it was right to stay away from here.
It's not a place for people at all.
How to go?
Ning Yuan looked around and found that the walls around him were completely integrated, and there were no doors at all......
Doors too!
Just as he was looking for the door, a few big words suddenly popped up in front of him:
"The system self-test is successful, it has detected a new chip in the slot, and it is searching for a driver...... Search complete, downloading ......"
Chip?
What chip?
What is the driver?
A memory suddenly appeared, filling Ning Yuan's mind.
In a trance, Ning Yuan seemed to see several fragments, which were disorganized, and Ning Yuan had no way to analyze the causes and consequences.
But through the picture, he understood what a chip was.
It's a finger-sized cuboid that runs in a slot in the back of your head, and you can type information directly into your head, and you can also run software in your head.
In short, an advanced brain-computer interaction technology.
Memories are vague, but they are filled with intense fear.
There is definitely a big problem with this chip, and the original owner of the body is warning Ning Yuan like crazy.
"Pull it out!"
"Pull it out!"
"Pluck!"
Ning Yuan touched the back of his head, where was the location of the chip slot, and after lifting the dust cover on it, he pressed the chip eject button.
A line of large words appeared in the field of vision: "The chip failed to pop up, and a special unlocking algorithm is required." ”
Machine stuck?
He pressed it again.
"Chip ejection failed ......"
I can't pull it out!
Just as Ning Yuan was frantically pressing the slot behind his head, the ceiling made of steel suddenly made a loud noise.
He looked up and saw that the ceiling was slowly opening.
The steel plates on both sides flew upward, and through the gap, Ning Yuan could barely see the blue light inside.
A loud and piercing alarm sounded in the space: "Alarm! Pollution sources are being released, please leave the site, pollution sources are being placed! ”
Pollution sources?
What do you mean?
Although there are many doubts, it is not important now, what is important is ...... There's someone up there!
Ning Yuan hurriedly shouted towards the ceiling: "Is there anyone!" I am here! Pull me up! Pull me up! ”
However, there was no response from above, except for repeating the alarm, allowing Ning Yuan to shout hoarsely.
After the ceiling opened, half of the corpse was thrown down and fell in front of Ning Yuan, splashing blood on his face.
"Anyone! Is there anyone at all! ”
The ceiling didn't respond to Ning Yuan, it closed unhurriedly, no matter how Ning Yuan shouted, it was useless.
After a while, the ceiling closed tightly, and there was no more sound.
"There are still living people here! Help me! Pull me out~"
Ning Yuan shouted loudly for a long time, shouting so loudly that his voice was hoarse, and after finding that no one responded, he stopped shouting in disappointment.
The shouting was useless, and he looked at the corpse that had fallen in front of him, hoping to find something.
No, it can't be said that it is a corpse, this person is still alive!
Ning Yuan was surprised to find that although there was only one arm and one leg left, this person was still breathing and still talking!
Such a spooky scene...... Ning Yuan could only sigh that the biochemical technology in this world was really awesome.
None of this is dead?
Seeing that the man was muttering something in a low voice, Ning Yuan leaned in and listened carefully:
"O great and eternal Lord of the Night, I will sacrifice my humble flesh and blood in exchange for your reward! I will give everything I have ......"
The Eternal Lord of the Night?
What the hell is this?
"Brother, are you alright?"
Ning Yuan shook this person's shoulder, and found that this person was no longer sane to speak of.
With a hysterical smile on his face, he shouted, "Great King of the Night! I...... We look forward to seeing you there. ”
With that, something like ink came out of the man's wound.
The ink is so black that it doesn't reflect any light, and it looks like a black hole.
They wriggled and coalesced into a slime-like mass of flesh that covered the man's original body.
The sound of a huge thing chewing came from the ink ball, and Ning Yuan was terrified when he heard it.
It's exactly the same noise I heard when I died!
Ning Yuan hurriedly stepped back, away from this ink ball.
In a few moments, the ink blob devoured the original corpse, and then stretched out tentacles.
The tentacles kept flying, rolling up the surrounding corpses and sending them into their bodies, and then the crunching chewing sound sounded, which was very terrifying.
Not only the flesh and blood, but also the hard alloy hands were devoured by it one by one.
As it devoured, the ink mass continued to grow, and after a while, it grew four or five meters tall, and the growth rate was amazing.
After a while, the monster had eaten all the corpses, and then noticed the only living thing left in the space, and stretched out a tentacle and crawled towards Ning Yuan.
A strong feeling of fear rose from Ning Yuan's heart.
Suffer!
Ning Yuan retreated one after another.
Isn't this a cyberpunk world, what the hell is this ink tentacle monster hare!
The tentacles flew quickly, and Ning Yuan was entangled in his feet before he could escape.
I rub!
It's definitely not going to end well if that thing gets on it!
Ning Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand, wanting to pull the tentacles on his feet away, but his strength was not enough at all.
The tentacles tugged violently, and Ning Yuan fell to the ground without resistance, he clasped the gap in the floor, but he still couldn't resist the terrifying power of the monster.
Fingers dragged blood streaks across the floor.
Dear mother!
Others have a system and a sister at the beginning!
Why does Lao Tzu start with tentacles PLAY? Don't play like this!
"Help! Lao Tzu is still alive! Is there anyone? There are living people here! ”
Ning Yuan shouted loudly, and unlike just now, this time the room responded to him.
"The nuclear radiation source is ready, the phase blocking of the different space is ready, the relevant personnel please leave the scene quickly, after thirty seconds, ultra-high-density neutron rays will be emitted, annihilating the divine pollutant ......"
As the cacophony of sirens fell, the walls on either side of the room slowly rose, and a faint red light emerged from the cracks below.
"Nima!"
Ning Yuan couldn't help but scold.
Nuclear radiation sources?
High-density neutron rays?
Heterospatial phase blocking?
Suddenly, Ning Yuan's face turned pale with fright, he really thought he was a science fiction idiot, didn't he understand?
The 1945 Hiroshima Love Festival is about to be staged here!
Nukes at the beginning?
Isn't that a complete dead ball?
"Help!"
"Is there anyone! Help me! I'm alive! I ......"
"Alert! The operation is not up to specification! ”
"Alert! ……”
"The system is stopped, and the nuclear cleanup system is being contracted."
The ceiling slowly opened, and a katana slammed down from the sky, severing the tentacles wrapped around Ning Yuan's legs.
Ning Yuan turned over, and before he could see the situation clearly, he was confused by a blazing light.
The vision was white, the ears were full of buzzing, and the stomach was tumbling, which was very uncomfortable.
Ning Yuan felt as if it was a bomb in front of him...... No, there really was a bomb that exploded in front of him!
In a trance, he heard the clatter of fire, and the terrible screams of the monster, stray bullets slashing across his cheeks, warm blood sliding down his cheeks.
Ning Yuan subconsciously retreated, away from that battlefield.
In this white light, he saw the big red letters again.
The words seemed to be printed directly in his head, and he could still see them even if his eyes were blinded.
"The chip driver has been downloaded and is being installed."
An inexplicable panic came, and Ning Yuan heard the cry of the original owner of the body in a trance:
"Don't install drivers!"
What drives?
Where is this?
Does anyone explain this to me?
According to the urine nature of the online text, at this time, you should awaken all your memories and kill the Quartet!
But how can he only pass on fragmented images and a lot of emotions?
After being stunned for a while, Ning Yuan's vision barely recovered.
Despite the double vision of everything he saw and a white halo, it was enough to see what was in front of him, and he wiped his eyes and looked forward.
Shattering flames burned on the floor, staining the entire space in a dim light.
The tentacles of the ink ball just now were shattered everywhere, and a woman in a gray-black suit sat on the largest black fragment.
Her red hair seemed to blend in with the firelight, and the edges of her hair shimmered bright orange.
A katana with a blue lightning glow at the edge of the blade lay silently in her hand, looking very dangerous.
Ning Yuan's breathing became rapid.
Powerful, dangerous, and ...... Beauty that is hard to ignore.
Behind the woman, there was a group of soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor and holding steel guns, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
Judging from these ink fragments on the ground, it was obvious that the monster was no match for these people in front of him.
Didn't even survive thirty seconds.
Saved?
Ning Yuan looked at the woman, and the woman was also looking at Ning Yuan.
He opened his mouth to say something, but he coughed violently and spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and it seemed that the explosion had injured his internal organs.
In a violent cough, he heard the woman's words:
"Heh, I thought there was some miracle, it turns out that you were also distorted by pollution, it's really a vain expectation, but ......"
The woman raised the katana in her hand and pointed it at Ning Yuan.
At the same time, blue lightning suddenly appeared in the air, and these small lightning bolts crackled through the air.
The red-haired woman also had a large amount of blue light in her eyes, she licked the corners of her mouth, smiled and said, "This is not bad, it is another happy fight!" ”
What pollution?
There is also a happy fight......
Does that mean kill me too?
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the soldiers raised their guns.
"Wait, there's a misunderstanding......"
Before Ning Yuan finished speaking, a line of large characters appeared on the left side of his vision.
"The driver installation is complete, the 'Eternal Night Styx' chip is started, and the essentia algorithm is loaded."
Ning Yuan's spirit became trance-like, and his mind seemed to have fallen into some unknowable place.
There was a faint sound of waves in his ears, Ning Yuan listened carefully, and found that the sound of the waves was mixed with a chant:
"O great and eternal Lord of the Night! I would like to sacrifice my poor blood and bones......"
"Eternal night will come!"
Ning Yuan lowered his head, and a cloud of pitch-black viscous liquid was gushing out of his body.
it?
