Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1540: What Lin Sanjiu took away and what Lin Sanjiu gave

While she was waiting to be sent to the underground game space, she and Lily were so nervous that they felt like vomiting several times. However, she bent down and tried retching several times, but nothing came out. I don't know if it was because she turned into words, or because she had the impression that she hadn't eaten in a long time.

Lin Sanjiu has disappeared from the walkie-talkie for a while, but the last few words she said have been running rampant in Lily's mind.

"I just discussed it with my friends. If I bypass some settings, I should be able to get you into the underground game space," she said at the time. "In order to make it easier for you to understand the situation and make a decision. But... There is no way to call out human words in the underground space. I can only turn you into a part of the underground space facility. This means that you will never be able to get out after you come down. So, you have to think carefully—— ”

"Send me down," He Lily didn't even let her finish her sentence. Although I don’t understand some parts, it’s enough to understand the most important part. Once you go down and never come back up, what does it matter? What is the essential difference between being deleted above the ground and being deleted below the ground?

If she goes down, she can at least see a familiar face.

She and Lin Sanjiu were not close friends, and even the changes Lin Sanjiu was showing now made her a little scared. However, if today was the last day of her life, she would still like to have someone she knew next to see her off... It would be much more comforting than being deleted while looking around blankly, accompanied by corpses.

He Baihe cheered himself up, but his palms were still covered in cold sweat. When Lin Sanjiu's voice sounded, she almost jumped up in shock - "Are you ready?"

"Okay," she breathed out and murmured.

As a result, the process of being retextualized and rematerialized was not as scary as she thought; it felt as if the person had changed places as soon as she opened and closed her eyes.

He and Lily turned around, looking at the huge rotunda in which they were, and their eyes stayed on the gray cement ceiling above their heads for a while. It was the last thing she saw in her life. She suddenly thought that if she was still on the ground, the people below would control where she went when she wanted to go... No, let's not tell the truth. Let's be honest, it can be moved back and forth like that, but it's not as pleasant as being deleted.

"Are you ready?" Lin Sanjiu's voice called her back to her senses.

The slight comfort brought by a familiar face was quickly washed away by another unfamiliar fear. When Lin Sanjiu and another young girl she didn't know walked into the rotunda and approached her, He Lily even felt like jumping up and running - she wasn't afraid of Lin Sanjiu, but she seemed to have instinct She felt that Lin Sanjiu must have experienced some kind of huge shock; now that the aftermath of that shock was about to hit her, she subconsciously wanted to escape to protect herself.

However, He Lily still stood firm and did not move. She glanced at Lin Sanjiu and asked, "What are you going to tell me?"

"Sit down," Lin Sanjiu raised his chin toward the rest area in the rotunda and said, "They used to communicate about game content in the rotunda. I can project the past games to them here. Look."

"Really...are those games really designed by the Evolvers themselves?" He and Lily slowly sat down on the sofa and asked. Now that she sat down, the corpses piled under the long dining table not far away came more clearly into the corner of her field of vision; she resisted not looking back, and just asked: "...are those people?"

"There are God knows how many people before them." Lin Sanjiu smiled softly and sat down next to her. The long-haired girl sat on the armrest next to Lin Sanjiu and remained silent.

"Let's start with this one," Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, but she didn't see any movement, but a piece of white cloth suddenly fell in front of her eyes. It seemed to play the role of a "document" as Lin Sanjiu said. When the game content appeared on the document, He Baihe couldn't help but take a breath - she didn't expect that she could actually "see" the game immersively.

The first thing He Lily saw was a simulated war game. All evolvers who enter the battlefield area must participate in the first round of "general selection"; players use the rules and props in the game to make as many others as their own soldiers as possible - if they do not let others become their own Soldiers themselves have to become other people's soldiers, and it is clear at a glance who is better or worse.

After the "generals" appeared one after another and each took control of the game's territory, the game turned into a melee between warlords fighting for territory. The person who designed this game seems to be a gambler who is so addicted to gambling that he cannot control himself. He often takes this game he created and plays it with others in underground game spaces to bet on who will be the winner; when encountering exciting battles, He would also record it with narration - it was precisely because of this that He and Lily had the misfortune of watching more than ten minutes of war footage.

This is not a war between modern countries with conventions and scruples; with the dedicated efforts of the players, these primitive forms of human groups are engaged in primitive melee between tribes - -The chaos, madness, and bloodthirsty make people suspect that they and the people in the image may not be the same creature.

"I don't want to watch it," she asked without waiting for the end of the video to know that her face was pale. "What's next?"

The next one and the next one, as well as the next three or five that Lin Sanjiu showed her, each made people feel uncomfortable in their own way. Not every game is cruel. For example, there is a game about catching moles, which does not threaten people's lives at all; there are also business simulation games that do not even require hands-on. No matter what the game looks like, He Lily discovered that She couldn't help but turn her eyes away again and again, and secretly resented Lin Sanjiu again and again: She herself has experienced games, why bother showing her these games again? Isn't this just torture?

“What many game creators write at the beginning is not life-and-death stuff, but as time goes by, it becomes more and more out of shape.” Lin Sanjiu seemed to be aware of her emotions and finally stopped showing the game. , said: "Among game creators, the games they write have become a prop for gaining the pleasure of control, accumulating advantages for themselves in the future, taming players... and so on. Even among themselves, the game They also have many functions. They are a source of entertainment similar to reality shows, and they are also a demonstration tool similar to fangs and horns. The more ruthless the game is, the less likely others will dare to mess with it."

"Then I don't understand how it can get to the point like in some games..."

"It doesn't happen overnight." The girl next to Lin Sanjiu suddenly interjected, "If you can accept someone crying today, you can accept someone bleeding tomorrow. If it were you in this kind of environment, I'm afraid you would You will also gradually become desensitized. What’s more, who doesn’t want to be God for a time?”

He Baihe lowered her head and intertwined her fingers. Her mind was so confused that she didn't even know what she was thinking, or maybe she was thinking nothing at all. "Aren't there any good games?" After a while, she asked.

Because of this problem, she next read the content of "Rescue Station".

The game itself is irreproachable. There are no traps or hidden arrows. Watching it, He and Lily felt a little moved. If Host is lucky enough to encounter such a game, he will never die. There is no video of the "Rescue Station" game, only the game text. She watched it several times and sighed: "Isn't this great?"

Lin Sanjiu was silent for a while without comment. She looked at the rescue station game on the screen, and there seemed to be endless threads that even she couldn't grasp, like dark waves flowing deep in the ocean; but on the surface, her expression only fluctuated slightly. , almost calm sea.

"I was reading this game, and Nuwa... Oh, you don't know her, we can talk about this later. In short, after reading Nuwa's records, I thought of the proposal for you. ”

He Lily turned around, looked at her and asked, "What is the proposal?"

"The record states that since the rescue station game was opened, the death rate of evolvers within a radius of tens of thousands of meters has been reduced by 46%, and serious injuries, mobility problems, or mental disorders have also been reduced by more than 35%. Lin Sanjiu said softly, "But besides this, there is another data."

Without waiting for Lily to ask, she continued: "Games all have requirements for the number of participants. The larger the scale, the more people are required. If the number of people is not available, the game may not be able to start. This data records the success rate of gathering the number of people in each game in other games within this range except the rescue station... Compared with before the appearance of the rescue station, this number has increased greatly after the appearance of the rescue station, and the number of people caught in each game has increased significantly. The speed of players in a game is also faster. If volunteers wait at the entrance of the aid station, they can always wait for the people who have just been 'discharged'."

"This is understandable, because fewer people died, so the survivors finally healed their injuries, and were given by other games..." When He Lily said this~IndoMTL.com~, he suddenly paused. . "Hey, if he wants to save people, why doesn't he stop other game creators? They...are all in the same space, right?"

Lin Sanjiu nodded.

The three of them sat in a strange silence for a while, and then she sighed and continued: "I can't remove this game space. If it doesn't exist in this doomsday game world, then there will be another form that I can't predict. It will occupy the vacancy left by it. If once I leave, it returns to its previous operating mode and leaves the fate of a group of people to another group of unpredictable people, then I...I can't bear this result."

She turned her head and looked into He Lily's eyes. "The pain that your current form of existence brings to you... I can only imagine. The game took away your identity as a human being, and I took away the illusion that you had the last bit of control over yourself. What I have to do now is to give you something again."

He and Lily seemed to be frozen, waiting motionless.

"You no longer have to survive, so you can choose to die, or you can choose to live for a meaning and a responsibility from today on in this troubled world. Become the manager of the underground game space Man...are you willing to accept this mission?"
