Chapter 63: the present
The vouchers of the present life cannot be taken with you.
The status of the coupons after use is also unknown, so Lu Qi never thought of using Survival Points to exchange for another one in the mall for Shen Meiren.
The disappointment of Shen Qingcheng, who received a negative answer, was visible to the naked eye, and even the hair seemed to have lost his spirit and fell down a little.
Lu Qi stayed in the game space for three days, and when Shen Meiren entered the dungeon, he opened the terminal background and found the voucher, and clicked to use it.
…
Daqin, General Hospital of Xianyang Military Region.
Several nurses are chatting in the pantry.
"It seems that no new patients have been transferred recently?"
"Hey, if you don't say I haven't found it yet, it seems to be true. I hope other hospitals will do the same, and no one will fall ill for no reason."
"Did the team figure out their cause?"
"No? I heard that a patient on the third floor passed away, and I have notified the family to collect the body."
"It's so weird, I suddenly fainted for no reason, and then died silently in the coma. Do you think this is a special parasite?"
"Impossible, the parasite will not be found out!"
"But this is too weird. The backgrounds of the patients sent to our hospital are not simple. The hospital attaches great importance to it. I was also taken away and blocked the news immediately! Why do you say this is?"
"I seem to have heard that these fainted people are related to the live broadcast APP that suddenly appeared on the terminal."
"Really?"
"It's all said and heard!"
"Oh my God, it's four o'clock, we'll talk next time, I should go back to the room."
A chubby little nurse bid farewell to her friends and hurriedly returned to her area of responsibility.
The patients in this area are very special, with special identities and special causes. They all fainted suddenly one day and never woke up again.
Patients who died suddenly in a coma as mentioned earlier belong to this special category.
There are many patients like this in the General Hospital of the Military Region, and she is only responsible for a very small part.
The little nurse checked the condition of the patients in each ward one by one, and finally came to the quietest ward upstairs.
She always likes to be the last one to come here, to check the case, tuck the quilt, and see if the water is finished.
Oh, who said that the person sleeping in this ward is so handsome, a look can make her excited all day!
That face, that figure, ooh, ooh, I can!
Conversations like this happen almost every day.
The little nurse rolled her eyes with her back to him, and glanced at the handsome guy lying on the bed, feeling better again.
She was about to leave after checking when suddenly.
"Hey!" The little nurse's voice was trembling with excitement, "His hands are off! His hands are off!"
"!" The inch-headed man rushed over and squeezed the little nurse away. He lay nervously in front of the hospital bed, "Captain? Captain?"
Lu Qi woke up. After three months, he woke up again from the game.
This is the fourth time Lu Qi wakes up.
The moment he opened his eyes, the memory of the first three sobers came back to his mind like a flood, and the amount of too much information made Lu Qi's head hurt.
He frowned.
The news of Lu Qi's sobriety quickly spread among certain groups, and the top of the hospital was in chaos. A group of people in white coats rushed into the ward and began to use various instruments to examine Lu Qi.
Intensive, productive and quiet.
Not long after, there were several more military vehicles downstairs, and several big men who could only be seen on TV, entered the hospital in a low-key manner under the protection of the guards.
After finishing the last check, Lu Qi used a cotton swab to press the blood point at the elbow and returned to the ward, where three gray-haired bosses were waiting for him.
The old man surnamed Lu, headed by him, was energetic and had a steely temperament. When he saw Lu Qi's state, he nodded with satisfaction, "Your condition is better than we expected."
Academician Zhang next to him smiled kindly, "Hurry up and sit down, let's sit and talk."
The former director was a thin old man, he couldn't wait for Lu Qi's slow action, he went over and pressed the person to sit down, and then nimbly took out gadgets from various places on the body and gave them to Lu Qi made another simple check.
There were only four of them in the ward, and everyone patiently waited for the original director to finish the examination.
Finally, Academician Zhang asked: "How is the situation?"
Director Yuan shook his beard and looked at Lu Qi's eyes as bright as light, "From the results of my inspection now, Lu Qi's physical fitness is better than his own peak data. several times stronger."
Lu Qi himself said: "I feel very good." There is no feeling of weakness in lying on the hospital bed for three months.
"It really is," Marshal Lu sighed and said the results of the scientists' recent research, "The function of horror games is to explore the potential of the human body."
Twenty years ago, Daqin's satellite detected an extra black square box the size of a school desk on the surface of Mars.
Relevant researchers immediately learned through monitoring that this black square box should have been buried deep in Mars. Later, as the dust on the surface of Mars was blown away by the wind, the black square box was exposed to the surface.
After the high-level officials of the Daqin government discussed and confirmed the safety, the astronauts on the mission on the space station received the order to retrieve the box back to the space station.
Subsequent disinfection and sterilization... For five years, the square box was transferred from the space station to a fort-like research institute built for it in a remote mountainous area of Daqin.
The square box belongs to an unknown civilization with a higher technology level than the earth. This is determined by scientists after five years of research, so they call this unknown civilization the square box civilization.
Scientists one after another spend their precious time on this black square box, they absorb new knowledge from the square box, and new technologies are constantly being invented.
In the past fifteen years, Daqin's technological level has developed rapidly, but this is only the tip of the iceberg that they have drawn from the square box civilization.
This square box similar to the earth computer is not only loaded with unknown civilizations, but also an endless ocean of mysterious knowledge.
A year ago, the square box was activated, and this happened.
In the beginning, it was only a very small number of people who fainted. There was no reason and no symptoms were detected. Later, this phenomenon spread all over the world, and the number of fainting people gradually increased.
At the same time, "horror game live APP" began to appear overwhelmingly on the Internet, and everyone was discussing this APP that was downloaded to the terminal or computer for no reason, and why it could not be deleted. Dropped, discussing the content of the live broadcast.
The news on the Internet quickly reached the ears of the scientists at the Fangshe Research Institute. They looked at the research data, and then looked at the live APP, and got it.
It turns out that the square box is just a game machine.
A game console that failed and was discarded.
But even a malfunctioning game console still has unparalleled research value, or even greater value.
Those who appear in the live broadcast after fainting for no reason are proof.
The role of horror games is to explore the potential of the human body.
Lu Qi, who had recovered his first three lucid memories, had already realized this, and was not surprised.
Academician Zhang said: "A well-integrated square box should be controllable, humans can decide whether to enter the game to exercise, and even if they fail in the game, they will not die, those apps that cannot be deleted. It is also a by-product of box failure."
He sighed helplessly, a game console thrown away by others can give them a headache for so long, this is the gap in technology.
Lu Qi: "How is the situation now?"
Academician Zhang: "The online news is completely blocked, and the fainted people also have a special place to receive treatment, so there is no major incident. There is good news to tell you that the Institute has closed the square box link brain. The channel of the waves."
This means that there will be no newcomers to horror games.
"The one who should be the last one, the one who followed you," Academician Zhang thought hard, "What is it called?"
The original director of the impatient child said directly: "It's the young man who always follows you, the one who looks good, what is his name, the beauty, your two CPs are very popular on the Internet recently!"
Lu Qi: "...is there any official guidance?"
"It's good, it saves them from discussing the game and adding to our workload," Academician Zhang held a cup of hot water with a smile, affirming his guess, "We know you don't like this , you just treat it as a task."
Don't like it? Marshal Lu glanced at the expressionless man across from him.
During the conversation, the results of Lu Qi's physical examination report were expeditedly sorted out by the hospital. As the former director said, Lu Qi is very healthy and his physical fitness is better than before.
This news has made several big bosses who have been caring about their hearts relieved after the square box accident. If the square box can be repaired, the horror game in it will undoubtedly become a weapon for Daqin to train troops.
5 minutes later, Lu Qi followed several bosses to leave the hospital by car, and 40 minutes later the group arrived at a military command center in Xianyang City.
In the huge office, in front of the U-shaped table, besides Marshal Lu, Academician Zhang and the former director, there are several more people in charge of other work, and the projection on the wall is playing Lu Qi in the horror game Live video.
"Lu Qi," Marshal Lu said with a serious expression in front, "How long has it been since you last came back to play."
Lu Qi: "15 copies."
Marshal Lu: "Why didn't you come back."
Lu Qi: "I have no memory of returning to the real world."
There was a commotion at the U-shaped table.
Marshal Lu continued to ask, "This is why you turned off the live broadcast?"
Lu Qi calmly said: "I didn't take the initiative to close."
With the accumulation of more customs clearance dungeons, the player has more initiative in the horror game, and the right to live broadcast is one of them.
But even if Lu Qi doesn't have the memory of returning to the real world, he will not close the live broadcast, because this is the only channel for him to leave information to the real world.
"Cough," the original director stood up, "The reason is us, we adjusted the box before, just to solve the problem of amnesia, but I didn't expect that something went wrong and the live broadcast was closed."
"Don't worry, I won't lose my memory this time!" He promised.
Marshal Lu nodded, "Lu Qi, do you have anything to report?"
Lu Qi: "Yes, I met Le Songlin."
Marshal Lu: "Your team?"
Lu Qi: "Yes."
"There's more." Marshal Lu looked at him sharply.
Lu Qi was silent.
"Clap," Marshal Lu slapped the table, "Lu Qi, answer me!"
For the first time, Lu Qi, who never looked sideways when reporting tasks, avoided Marshal Lu's gaze for the first time.
The projection screen changed, and it suddenly became a live video of "Beauty Allure" in the copy of "Masquerade".
In the picture, Shen Meiren leans over the table and draws something, and Lu Qi next to him asks him, "What are you drawing."
Shen Meiren replied, "Fu ah."
Following a few clips, Shen Meiren said that the methods he used were collectively called Taoism, his occupation was Tianshi, and he was from China...
The final picture was frozen in the sea of fire in the copy of "Death Route". Half of Shen Meiren's face was reddened by the firelight, her eyes were slightly squinted, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
Marshal Lu said: "We have verified that there are no civil servants named Shen Meiren in the world, and none who meet the conditions for fainting. This does not rule out the possibility of him lying, but the means he used You can't lie."
"Tianshi, Daoshu, Fu, do you know where we found relevant information that meets the requirements?" Marshal Lu raised his head and looked directly at Lu Qi, "Some novel settings and ancient legends. "
"Now I want to ask you, after you found out about his situation in the masquerade copy, you said you wanted to talk to him, what did you talk about."
What was discussed.
Lu Qi remembered the conversation about walking in the woods in the afternoon.
He only said, "He is not from our world."
Everyone at the U-shaped table began to discuss in a low voice.
Someone asked: "Is it possible that he came from ancient times? The square box can pull people into the game across space, or it can also span time."
Some people retort, "Space and time are not the same concept."
"There is no evidence to rule out this possibility, and he chooses to leave the dungeon at the last minute after each dungeon is over. Is it to get familiar with the modern environment?"
"The test copy is not live. If he really wants to pretend, the test copy is a good opportunity."
"He is an ancient person, so wouldn't he return to the ancient world directly? Alas, I really want him to demonstrate his Taoism face to face, will this be a new kind of science!"
Everyone seems to have believed that Shen Meiren is an antique from ancient times.
Academician Zhang said to Lu Qi cheerfully: "Hehe, although Shen Meiren is the only accident in the horror game, don't be too nervous, maybe he is the key to our breakthrough. You Don't be too wary of his presence, just get along with him like you would normally make friends."
"By the way, Lu Qi, remember to be more intimate when you get along next time, interact more, and send more candy like what those girls say. These girls are more excited than our network department. The accusation is much more powerful, and you are helping us in our work, and I will give you an award when the matter is over."
"Yes, yes, what hooking your shoulders, pulling a little hand, these are all useful, I think Shen Meiren does a good job at this point, you have to learn from others! "
Lu Qi: "…"
Marshal Lu couldn't bear to look directly away.
The author has something to say:
Marshal Lu: I can make you beautiful
Shen Qingcheng: Hahahaha!
Candy girl: It's none of our business, this time it's the official persuasion!
