Lao Wu stood next to the bed where Ling Zhi was, with his back to Ling Zhi, and was operating something in front of a screen.
The tattooed man stood next to Zhao Shiyan's bed and looked at the lovely girl in front of him playfully. When he was about to touch her cheek with his hand, Lao Wu said:
"Huh? It's strange, why is there no one here? Ah..."
Lao Wu felt a stinging pain in his back and couldn't help but stepped aside and shouted loudly.
"What's going on? What's all the fuss about?"
The tattooed man turned around and frowned:
"Hmm? When did your kid wake up?"
It turned out that Ling Zhi took advantage of the moment when both of them turned their backs to him, quickly picked up a tube of sedatives on his left hand, and stabbed Lao Wu in the back without hesitation.
Although he wanted to stab the tattooed man more, with his current mobility, it was more convenient to stab Lao Wu, who was closer to his left hand.
When the tattooed man saw that Ling Zhi had woken up, he immediately grabbed Ling Zhi's left hand and tried to push him back onto the bed.
Ling Zhi was anxious. He had tried his best just now, but he could only barely insert the needle into Lao Wu's back, and he had no time to push in some liquid. At this time, the tattooed man grabbed his left wrist, and he had no strength to resist.
Just when he thought he was about to fall into despair, he saw a figure sitting behind the tattooed man. Although the figure was trembling when standing, she still raised her fists without hesitation and held the
The tattooed man fell to the ground.
Seeing that the tattooed man was about to stand up, Ling Zhi quickly picked up a needle again, rolled to the right onto the tattooed man, relied on gravity to help insert the needle into the tattooed man's left arm, and pushed the liquid in the sedative hard.
Go into the half pipe.
"Fuck you! You two little bastards! You're looking for death!"
The tattooed man was caught off guard by the two men and suffered a big loss. He was trying to lift himself up to gain a favorable height when he saw Zhao Shiyan stomping on his face with his foot. He suddenly felt pain and felt that his eyeballs were in his sockets.
Half of it was dented.
Although Zhao Shiyan had not fully recovered, she pressed almost all her body weight onto the tattooed man's face without any mercy.
The tattooed man pinched Zhao Shiyan's legs with his hands and said:
"Well...I...I give up, I give up, let go, please, my head is about to explode!"
However, Zhao Shiyan was unmoved and had no intention of moving her feet. She didn't know if she heard what the man with the tattoo just said.
During this period, Ling Zhi wanted to give the tattooed man more powerful medicine, but for some reason, he could no longer push the remaining half of the tube of liquid. He could only use his body to press the tattooed man down, trying hard not to let him get up.
Seeing that the girl couldn't move, the tattooed man could only forcefully squeeze her legs. However, his strength gradually became weaker and weaker, as if the sedatives were starting to take effect. Until finally, his hands were paralyzed on the ground, and they were gone.
movement.
Zhao Shiyan waited for a minute, and when he saw that he was indeed no longer moving, he moved his feet away and slumped on the bed, gasping for air.
Ling Zhi pulled out the needle, stood up with difficulty, and said to Zhao Shiyan:
"Are you OK."
Zhao Shiyan shook his head and seemed to have no extra energy to speak.
Ling Zhi knew that now was not the time for greetings. He turned around, unplugged the wires from his body, and walked slowly towards Lao Wu with staggering steps.
Although Lao Wu should not be affected by the sedative, he did not step forward to try to restrain Ling Zhi, but instead retreated.
"You...how did you wake up?"
Ling Zhi ignored him, moved to him, put the needle against his neck, and said expressionlessly:
"You don't need to know. You tell me first whether there will be any problems with the dose I just injected into that guy."
Lao Wu seemed to be relieved and explained:
"They are all diluted amounts. Don't worry about not just one tube, but ten tubes. Brother, let's discuss something. Just pretend you don't know what happened today. I will give you a large amount of money. From now on,
How about we don't offend the river?"
The water in the well does not offend the river? Are you kidding me? Do you think I have no brains? If I don’t let you figure out what happened today, my surname will not be Ling!
However... after Lao Wu said this, Ling Zhi understood why he had no strength, but did not strike first when he saw himself.
Because, from the moment he woke up, Lao Wu and his gang were completely at a disadvantage.
Unless they dare to kill people and silence them, what happened today will be revealed sooner or later.
But killing people? Do they dare?
The tattooed man might do it, but Lao Wu and Bai Ming are definitely not people with such courage.
Ling Zhi came up with a plan and decided to have a show-off with him first, so as not to push him to a dead end.
He slowly pulled the chair next to him, sat on it, and said with a faint smile:
"Oh? Money? How much? I'm very interested. By the way, where is this place? Is there any problem if I go out now?"
When Lao Wu saw that Ling Zhi's mood was very stable and he was not as crazy as he had just dealt with the tattooed man, he immediately felt relieved. As long as the matter could be discussed, it would be easy to handle. He sat aside and said to Ling Zhi as if he were talking to a family:
"That Lin Chang Club, you know, that guy's base camp, there are people from that guy outside. If you go out and the guy doesn't, you will probably be in a lot of trouble."
"As for money, I don't have any cash yet, but don't you think the VR secret room project I'm in charge of will definitely become popular in the future?"
"When I become popular, it doesn't matter how much money I want. And you helped me a lot in this experiment. If you are willing, we can even be partners!..."
The fifth child talked about his grand plans for the future, while Ling Zhi remained calm on the surface, but secretly sneered in his heart.
Building a secret room in a virtual world is quite a novel project. Lexus doesn’t know whether this project will be popular, but you will definitely not be popular.
After Lao Wu finished speaking, Ling Zhi pretended to be curious and asked:
"Oh, it turns out it's such a project. It's really interesting. I'm curious, did you design all the levels in it?"
"Of course not! This secret room originally only had an English-style table. It was... designed by a friend of mine from a company. I felt that the threshold for this kind of secret room was too high for ordinary people, so a Chinese-style table was added.
"
"Each table is designed with several puzzles for participants to solve. After passing them all, you can enter the next room."
"I didn't design the Chinese endgame, that guy had some help."
Lao Wu said with joy, while pouting towards Bai Ming who was lying on the ground.
"However, I still feel that it is too monotonous. If I just let the players try the puzzles without limit, it will soon become boring. Therefore, I added some little easter eggs such as human nature tests..."
Ling Zhi resisted the urge to beat Lao Wu and listened quietly. But thanks to Lao Wu's words, Ling Zhi roughly understood something.
It turns out that Lao Wu looked at his student ID card before the experiment and knew that he was majoring in computer science, so he designed puzzles such as the prisoner's dilemma and binary passwords. After all, he was just an ordinary programmer, so he was asked to design too
There are many complex puzzle-solving elements, but it is not suitable for him.
As for the subsequent billiards puzzles, elements such as the tilting tables and the confinement devices also came from his bad taste. As for the real billiards puzzle, Bai Ming participated in the design part.
Ling Zhi turned to look at Bai Ming. He didn't expect this guy to play such a role in this incident.
"But I thought you two were very ordinary, but I didn't expect that you two had such a tacit understanding that you reached the last room so quickly."
"In short, that guy asked you to do an experiment. Although it is a bit rude, please understand. After all, this kind of experiment is still in the evaluation stage in China and has not been popularized. It can only be tested privately."
"In order to compensate you, I can make any conditions. What do you think?"
Ling Zhi ignored him and answered the question inappropriately:
"This project is indeed quite interesting, but I guess since it is still in the evaluation stage, there must be certain risks. For example... what will happen if the player dies in the game?"
Lao Wu smiled and shook his head and explained:
"No, the game will not let players die. Oh, I understand, you are talking about the setting of the third level of the Chinese room, right. That setting is just to let the players feel the urgency of solving the game.
, As for the hanging operation, in fact, no one will die. Even if your feet are off the ground, you will still maintain your consciousness."
"Taking a step back, even if you die, it should...should not have any impact on reality. At most, it will just be logging out of the account. So I am very curious, how did you wake up?"
Ling Zhi chuckled lightly and said:
"you guess?"
Having said that, with lightning speed, he inserted the needle in his hand into Lao Wu's left arm and immediately injected the liquid into it.
"Damn it! What are you doing! Can't you say something properly?"
Lao Wu was about to use his other hand to pull out the needle, but was immediately pinned to the ground by another pair of hands.
Ling Zhi inserted the sedative into Lao Wu's left arm again and injected all the remaining liquid into it.
Lao Wu struggled for a while and then stopped moving.
Ling Zhi looked at Lao Wu who fell on the ground and thought he was a bit ridiculous. His indecision led to his current ending.
Thanks to his demeanor, otherwise Ling Zhi would have been really difficult to deal with him.
It's impossible to partner with him. Let him go? Let him go outside to spread the news? What a joke!
Ling Zhi looked at Zhao Shiyan and said:
"How are you feeling now? Shi Yan."
Zhao Shiyan sat down and said to Ling Zhi with a bitter look on his face:
"I can barely move, but it's still very painful and burning."
Ling Zhi said helplessly:
"Me too. I guess it was when I fell... Oops!"
Ling Zhi suddenly covered his head and felt a stinging pain. Although he still remembered what happened in the secret room, as soon as he recalled the details, he immediately got a headache. Especially what happened after jumping from the window.
"Lingzhi, are you okay?"
Zhao Shiyan said with concern. Both of them were wearing jumpsuits. Although this outfit looked funny to outsiders, the two of them were not completely out of trouble yet, so they had no intention of teasing each other.
"It's okay, just my head suddenly stung. It's much better now."
Ling Zhi no longer recalled the scene in the secret room, but instead recalled what Lao Wu said just now.
Although part of the mystery has been solved, there are still more mysteries that have not been solved, such as: Who is the author of this VR system? It cannot be developed by Lao Wu alone.
Who is that friend he was talking about?
Why a billiards puzzle? Instead of basketball or football?
What is the reason for the various strange emotions between the two people in the secret room?
Insufficient sense of smell and taste is one of the symptoms of incomplete character modeling?
And, most importantly:
What would happen if he really died in that world?!
Due to time constraints, Ling Zhi did not have time to get all the answers from Lao Wu. After all, delaying for a long time would arouse his vigilance.
Ling Zhi slowly stood up, walked to Bai Ming who was lying on the ground in a panic, and sneered:
"Okay, stop pretending, I know you are still awake. I never thought that you would be beaten one day."
