Chapter 93: The Boundary Gate
"Virtual?"
Li Ran turned his head in surprise to look at the ghostly shadows in the enchantment.
"Creatures infected with viruses in the dungeon will be reborn in the Dark Temple after death, most of them have their memories erased and survive like walking corpses, some of them retain their memories and personalities, and some of them will be sent to the dungeon." Zhao Yingzhi said.
The information provided by Zhao Yingzhi was extremely important, almost explosive, revealing the structure of the copy and the problems that had always plagued them.
This also confirmed Li Ran's previous speculation.
The aborigines in Happy Home evolved from previous players.
This also indirectly proves that the weird world has been picking humans to enter the dungeon, and it is not even limited to Blue Star.
"How do you know that?" Li Ran asked.
"Sister Yang Ping told me." Zhao Yingzhi turned her head to look away.
(She's lying.) )
Goldfinger gave a hint, but Li Ran did not debunk it.
How could Yang Ping know this information? Yang Ping only retains the memory of the last day of her life, and constantly circulates the memory of the last day.
Zhao Yingzhi didn't say it, Li Ran could also guess that it was another soul in her body who told her, and it was unknown what thing or what chip was used to pry open the soul's mouth.
It seems that the soul in her body is not simple.
"What's the difference between the void and the aborigines?" Lu Zhaohui asked.
Li Ran explained: "Aborigines are like imaginary beings who have been implanted with identity memories, they do not know that they are imaginary, but on the contrary, they live as human beings. ”
As soon as this explanation was explained, Lu Zhaohui was stunned, no wonder they turned a deaf ear even if they saw the aborigines turn into monsters.
"This is more terrible than hell, hell is still reincarnated after death, and after this death is endless captivity." Lu Zhaohui said in horror.
Zhao Yingzhi said: "This is not entirely correct, those players who are not infected with the virus are killed, they are really dead, and only players who are infected with the virus will become virtual after they die." ”
Li Ran looked at Zhao Yingzhi in surprise, if it wasn't for her return from the Dark Temple, they wouldn't have been able to learn such important information at all.
He couldn't help but think of the aborigines who "woke up".
Su Bingyao awakened the memory of being a player?
"The gate mentioned in the video is actually a gate to the dark world, and it may be hidden in the depths of the dark temple." Zhao Yingzhi said.
Li Ran looked at the void outside the enchantment, and said in shock, "Is that the dark world?" ”
If you look at the dark world as a big world, there are countless weird copies in the big world, each copy corresponds to a corresponding level of monsters, the dark temple is the dangerous area of the novice village, and the happy home is the safe area of the novice village, and this so-called safe zone has almost destroyed all players.
But what Li Ran couldn't figure out was why Su Bingyao in the video said that as long as he found the boundary gate, he could live, and wouldn't it be more dangerous for the dark temple to lead to the dark world?
Could it be that the gate is an absolutely safe area?
Zhao Yingzhi couldn't answer this question.
I'm afraid that the truth can only be known if you actually reach the boundary gate.
"Where did you get the camera?" Li Ran asked.
"Sister Yang Ping picked it up when she was carrying me to deliver takeaways." Zhao Yingzhi said.
Li Ran suddenly had the idea of bringing the video back to Su Bingyao to see, but this idea was quickly killed by him.
He was deeply afraid that if Su Bingyao confessed something in front of her, or told him any secrets, he would be cleared by "them" like a madman.
Li Ran raised his head and stared at the gloomy sky, as if a pair of eyes were watching him again in the depths of the clouds.
"Today is the eleventh day, three days later midnight will enter the eternal night, the night of madness will begin at that time, if we can't find a place to spend the night of madness safely in these three days, entering the dark temple is the only option!" Li Ran said.
When Lu Zhaohui heard this, he said with a solemn face: "Brother Ran, it's okay if you don't say it, I feel like I've pressed the countdown when I say it." ”
They all had a feeling that suddenly they didn't have enough time.
Zhao Yingzhi pursed her lips, and then walked to the car: "Something, go first." ”
Li Ran also felt this way, he thought it was quite a long time before, but now he feels that there are only a few days left.
"Brother Ran, I'll go back first."
"Hmm."
Li Ran still stood still, his gaze penetrating the enchantment and staring at the void world.
"Boundary gates?"
Now that he couldn't enter the safe house through the Dark Door, when the night of madness came, if there was no other safe area, the only option was to break into the Dark Temple.
The "boundary gates" mentioned in the video are crucial.
If that clue is true, the gate becomes the player's only hope of survival.
Li Ran thought of someone who might be able to answer the doubts of the "Boundary Gate" for him.
Thinking of this, Li Ran took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Hey, Captain Zhang, it's me."
"Is that task on hold, oh, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Captain Zhang refers to the task of the old man in the rivers and lakes, which was originally to act according to the plan, but due to the abduction of children in the community, there have been new changes, resulting in this task has been shelved.
Li Ran is also the first time to encounter a situation where the task is shelved, if it is in the game, it should be a program error, or the existence of a bug.
This quest is grey in his quest panel, in an inactive state.
"By the way, Captain Zhang, I want to ask you something, is it convenient for you now?" Li Ran asked on the phone.
"Okay, I'll come over now."
Li Ran came to the door of a family according to the address provided by Captain Zhang.
Captain Zhang was leading people to handle some case, and Li Ran had to wait at the door.
"Xiao Feng, you make a confession."
"Okay."
Captain Zhang was busy walking towards Li Ran at the door.
"Another child is missing?" Li Ran asked.
"Losing a child a day, for three days in a row, and constantly exerting pressure from above, the police are anxious." Captain Zhang looked tired with two dark circles under his eyes, and he lit a cigarette to refresh himself.
Li Ran refused the cigarette handed by Captain Zhang, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't there any clue?" ”
Captain Zhang shook his head and sighed: "The prisoners also cunningly chose remote and unmonitored places to attack, and used tricks and other means, targeting children between the ages of 4 and 10. ”
Li Ran heard the heart-rending cry of the child's mother in the house just now when he was pestle at the door, so he could immediately judge that another child was missing.
Captain Zhang looked up at Li Ran: "What are you looking for me?" ”
"I'd like to ask you about the Dark Temple." Li Ran asked.
When Captain Zhang heard this, his face changed, and his attitude changed abruptly: "I don't know what you said." ”
Li Ran was not surprised, he smiled faintly and said, "What if I can provide clues to the disappearance case?" ”
Captain Zhang's brows were visibly stretched, he was exhausted by all kinds of efforts for this case, and his family, community and superiors were constantly putting pressure on him, and he hadn't slept well for a few days.
When he heard that Li Ran could provide clues, he was very surprised.
"Can you give a clue?"
