Chapter 87: The real world (4)

Gu Chao has something wrong?
Ruan Bai's expression changed, and he quickly continued to ask: "What's the matter, how is he now!?"
It has only been a few days, why would something happen to Gu Chao! ?
What can happen to him, in reality or in games?
Is he still alive?
"We don't know," said the other end of the phone. "Two days ago, he suddenly fell into a deep sleep state and couldn't wake up. Moreover, looking at the forum, many players were just like him, vegetative."
"Safety is safety, but we are all worried whether he will die one day and never wake up again." The other party said.
"Sleeping, how could this be?"
When Ruan Bai heard this, the whole person was stunned: "Is this state limited to players? Is there anything going on in the game? I have something wrong these days and I have not been connected to the Internet."
A series of her questions came up, and she couldn't wait to understand everything clearly in an instant.
"You do not know?"
Chaoxi’s teammates heard her and asked in surprise.
He didn't know what he thought of, and he was silent for a few seconds before continuing.
"Xiaobai, you can go online and check it out, these days... something big has happened."
event?
Is it still possible to check online, major events related to players?
Ruan Bai felt a little in his heart and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Without any hesitation, she quickly opened the web page and searched.
And this look surprised her.
It turned out that half a month had passed since she went up the mountain!
She clearly remembered that it was only four or five days. Didn't she expect that the time flow on the mountain is so different from the bottom of the mountain? !
For some reason, after opening the search bar, Ruan Bai flicked his finger and typed in the words "escape game".
At the moment she pressed the search button, a series of important information popped out one by one
[Shocked, hundreds of thousands of people in China are caught in a death escape game! 】【Hundreds of people became vegetatives overnight, and they were all registered users of the escape game forum! ] [What kind of existence is an escape game? What did it do? ] [Is it a hype or a cult? Professor Wang talked about recent hot topics. 】...
The jumbled news reports and various articles stunned Ruan Bai for an instant.
Wait, what's going on?
After Ruan Bai first entered the escape game, he also searched for information related to it.
She clearly remembered that just a month before she went up the mountain, there was nothing related to escape games on the Internet. She searched and found at most some horror-oriented novels, movies or games.
In order not to be resisted by external forces, the escape game system can be said to be cautious, always trying to hide itself and the player.
But the things that pop up now are obviously no longer in the category of novel games.
Has the existence of escape games been exposed? ? ?
Ruan Bai was a little unbelievable, but she felt that it seemed that sooner or later the existence of escape games was exposed.
There are a total of 150,000 registered users on the forum. In addition to these, there are countless players who died before registering. She has gone through more than a dozen rounds of games and knows that most of the newcomers will find it difficult to survive.
It's hard to ignore this frequency of death.
She was startled slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, she clicked in the video at the top.
This is the first video of the escape game when it appeared in front of the public. It was released a dozen days ago, the day after Ruan Bai Mountain.
She wants to know what happened recently, so let's watch the most important videos or files.
In the center of this video screen, there are a few middle-aged people sitting in danger.
They look respected and powerful, each holding a thick stack of documents.
Facing the media below, they did not panic at all and showed the results of huge data investigations.
"... Since recent years, the frequency of accidental deaths has increased, and a considerable number of people have died for no reason," one of them said, "A chance, we found these Many people who died accidentally knew each other in reality, and they received an unidentified property every once in a while..."
He cited two or three examples, all of which are objects of news reports in reality.
Not only do these people have contact information with each other, but they also met in private several times without telling their relatives and friends.
Later, at the same time and in different places in the future, accidents happened together and they died one after another.
"After a long-term investigation, we found that this situation is not uncommon," a middle-aged man said in a deep voice. "We had guessed whether they had entered some kind of secret cult, but then we discovered that these were discovered Everyone has one thing in common-they have all joined an anonymous forum called "Escape Games"."
At this moment, Ruan Bai looked at the cases cited in the video, and a word flashed in his mind-team.
In the example they gave, 80% of players formed a team, met in reality, entered the game as a team, and later died in the game together, and then they were discovered.
These experts discovered the abnormality based on the information. Ruan Bai is not surprised. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people. Although this number appears to be very small among the population of more than one billion people, it is also very large.
With so many people, it is almost impossible not to cause some abnormalities.
And many of the following speculations appeared smoothly.
After these people entered the forum and watched the content in the forum, they came up with an incredible conjecture: these more than 100,000 people entered a game called escape as they described it.
Those who survive in the escape game can continue to live and receive certain rewards; the players who are eliminated in the escape game will die in reality in various bizarre ways.
This kind of idea is very unscientific, but it is currently the most popular opinion.
In addition, there are some people who insist that they have just entered a cult, have mental problems, and have hallucinations.
There is just one thing that is undeniable. Whether there are real escape games or a cult, these people must be controlled and "saved."
The police investigated the registered users inside, and quite a few people have died in various accidents!
Of course, there are very few people who are deeply disgusted by these reports, thinking it is a bad hype, and they have consumed the dead.
But no matter how different people's opinions are, one thing is certain-that is, this incident has attracted the attention of everyone across the country in a short time!
Even if it has been almost half a month, the volume of its topics has remained high so far, and there is no trace of fading. Any article related to it can easily break through 10,000 views.
Ruan Bai took a cursory look and scanned the comment area below.
[It's really scary... Fortunately, I haven't been selected. It's scary. ] [My uncle was always babbling before he died. Once he heard me talk about the word "escape game", he was very frightened, his eyes were almost glaring, he died suddenly for no reason at work a year ago Isn't he the same player he used to be? ] [I saw my high school classmate in the registered users of the forum... She died three months ago. ] [Really and fake, I hope it is fake! ]
[Is it interesting to me alone? I really want to experience a legendary escape game, a live game! ]...
Under the impetus of caring people, the "escape game" was completely popular.
There are so many people who hate fear, and there are also many people who find novel and fun.
Looking at the reports of so many reporters, Ruan Bai can even guess that Han Qiuwen and others must be involved.
It's just that these people are taking the hard and clear path of escape games, and she and Bai Lianhua have developed a system, and they are taking a secret route.
Compared to the truth of the discovery of the game, she is even more curious about why the escape game system will allow them to search for these?
In order to hide their existence, the escape game system uses special methods to deal with many things.
For example, normal people will definitely not be able to enter the forum. In addition, many players will exchange points for money, and the origin of money will be obscured.
In this case, it is very difficult for ordinary people to probe the truth of the game.
Even if a few people leaked information through special methods, these things are so difficult to prove...At most, they are considered to be insane and nonsense.
[These people should be believers of other deities.] The white lotus system that had disappeared for several days jumped out and explained to Ruan Bai, [If the deity they believe in is stronger than the escape game system, it dare not He started on the followers of these gods. ] So...
Ruan Bai listened and looked at the Buddha statues hanging around the necks of the few people in the video, if he realized something.
This place in China has always been in a very plain attitude towards things like religion.
The state will not promote a certain religion, but it will not interfere too much with the freedom of belief of other people. As long as it does not believe in some harmful cults, others are easy to say.
Therefore, there are actually quite a few religions in China, among which Buddhism and Taoism are the most.
If these people all believe in Buddhism, then the escape game system counsels them, and it makes sense.
She had known for a long time that the power of a deity was not ranked according to the strength in the legendary story, but to see how many believers the has and how much worship it has received.
The "believers" of the escape game system, from another perspective, are the hundreds of thousands of players it has had.
As for the deity, nature and the deity are one family.
Ruan Bai's instinct told her that gods and humans are not the same race, and they don't care about humans at all. In their eyes, humans are 80% like ants.
As long as the escape game does not kill millions of people in one breath, or attack the followers of other deities, other deities will not embarrass it.
In this way, choosing believers of other deities to expose the escape game is a very safe way.
However, the current focus is not on this, but on the "sleeping" phenomenon that appears to their players, what is the situation! ?
Also, after the escape game system is exposed, will it have any impact on their escape game system and on game players?
[Everyone knows its existence, and the impact is great.] The white lotus system seems to know what Ruan Bai wants to ask, and then goes on, [It is just a little deity, recruiting a letter host, it can only be sneaky, It has to be confirmed that it is not a believer of the great gods of other sects. Now that it is being publicized so much, it is tantamount to declaring war against other gods. 】The white lotus system said it should be the "hidden rule" between the gods, but when I saw it suddenly, it was a bit difficult to understand.
Fortunately, Ruan Bai knows how to master it very well. After a little thought, she understood it all at once.
For example, these deities are like the lord of the ancient wars, the Buddha of the Three Qing Taoists, the Tathagata Buddha, and their soldiers and counselors, and they have a huge population of urban land and soldiers.
Their status in the deity world is almost like a hero who has already become a king.
As for the escape game system and the White Lotus system, they are more like some civil resistance organizations under the banner of "officials against the people." They have one or two counsellors, hundreds of soldiers, and thousands of soldiers. They only own a small mountain. Similar to the bandit.
In this case, the little bandit wants to seek power, of course, he must be careful, for fear of being discovered by the great gods.
They don't dare to promote themselves everywhere, like the heroes, so they can only quietly call the folks around and let them join themselves.
The exposure of the escape game system is tantamount to making a name in front of the people of the whole country.
It is a little bandit who actually learnt from others to be king, and his behavior is so arrogant that it naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of other lord.
In particular, it has indeed attracted the attention of many people after its appearance.
Many teenagers find escape games very interesting and want to try them.
This kind of social reaction, in the eyes of other deities, is equivalent to the potential threat of other deities robbing believers!
Naturally, the escape game system will become a disgusting existence for most other gods in the short term.
They don't necessarily kill it, because most ordinary people still don't want to seek death, but if ordinary people deal with the escape game system, the other gods will probably not protect it.
There is also a relationship between the gods. The escape game system is so good at managing, there are many evil gods that you know and have good relationships with.
Han Qiuwen almost "isolated" the escape game system.
After Ruan Bai communicated all this, he couldn't help being surprised by Han Qiuwen's design.
While exclaiming, she clicked on the messages sent to her by others.
After knowing the biggest incident that happened recently, she finally had a bottom in her heart, and she was in the mood to consider other things.
In the messages sent to her by others, there are not many really important content. The messages are frequently prompted, mostly because she has been out of contact for too long, and the other party is worried about her accident and keeps sending her messages, which led to the current situation.
She clicked on the text messages sent by other people in the team, and after filtering out the information that was not particularly important, Ruan Bai listed the remaining information that needs to be considered: First, like Gu Buchao, She Xiaoxue Ji The Queen also fell into a weird sleep, and no one could wake it up; secondly, the escape game started half a month ago and no longer absorbed new players; finally, the number of new hosts for the white lotus cultivation system has expanded to 1,000 People.
Ruan Bai was not particularly surprised by the first two points. She knew about the first point a long time ago. As for the second point, exposing the behavior of the escape game itself is an intentional restraint of the escape game. It will suspend the behavior of absorbing new players, which is also a normal reaction.
Just like she feels that some players are falling asleep, the Eight Achievement is the ghost of the escape game system for this matter, but she doesn't know what its true purpose is.
Regarding the last point, Ruan Bai felt very shocked.
How come there are so many hosts in the White Lotus system before you know it? !
But when she thought about it, she felt it was almost the same again.
It has been more than a year since she decided to start expanding the host of the new White Lotus system.
Each host of the white lotus system can increase the number of new hosts through the two questions of "love and justice". If the expansion is successful, the white lotus system will also give high points rewards.
Passing down from generation to generation, going online and developing offline will naturally expand many people.
Ruan Bai personally expanded only 8 people, of which 7 were "confidants" she had observed for a long time, trained and promoted, and were completely different from other ordinary white lotus system hosts.
After Nguyen Bai’s one-month inspection, they will be accepted by Nguyen Bai and promoted to internal members to help Nguyen Bai explore the information of Du Wenxue and DSAS company, which is not accessible to ordinary White Lotus hosts.
After the 8 players continue to develop, they are in their own hands, including the Lianhua man named Li Bing later, who was thrown by Ruan Bai to the other 7 players.
This is the trick that Ruan Bai and Shen Qingyun learned. After all, the organization needs to be large, and she can't cover everything.
Of course, if there are high-quality players in those "offline", she will also accept each other.
However, most of the new hosts are still newcomers, and a considerable number of them have not been reviewed and were blindly pulled in to make up the number. Other hosts are not sure whether these new hosts will die in the game one day in the future, so they are still following The only people beside Ruan Bai were the few people she had recruited.
At present, the total number of new hosts has exceeded 1,000, which is indeed good news.
The more the number of people, the greater the energy of the white lotus system. In the end, if it and the escape game system just get up, the odds of winning will be greater.
It's just a matter of sleeping, she must understand.
Ruan Bai thought for a while, and first sent a message to Ning Rou, who had been in the same game with them in the last round, asking about the situation.
Like Ruan Bai, Ning Rou was not asleep either.
Seeing Ruan Baifa asked, she responded fairly quickly.
"There are hundreds of people who fall asleep," Ning Rou said to Ruan Bai in a text message she sent. "Sister Ruan, you can go to the forum to check it out. A long time ago, players counted the number of people sleeping. Within a day after the escape game was announced, they became vegetative at the same moment."
"I haven't guessed whether Xiaoxue and Gu Ge both ran into something in the last round of the game that caused them to fall asleep... However, it seems that this is not the case at all."
Of course, what she didn't say was that some escape game players were sleeping, which obviously confirmed its authenticity and made many ordinary people believe in its existence.
After receiving the reply, Ruan Bai followed Ning Rou's words and took a quick glance at the forum.
Since the forum has been exposed, it shows that the mysterious sheltering power of the escape game system to the forum is gone. Now, although only registered users can post, there are many ordinary people who come in through technical means.
Countless players are enthusiastically discussing the news in the news and express their opinions on this.
Ruan Bai quickly found the highest number of people posted on the top, clicked in and glanced at it.
According to the number of replies, the number of people who fell asleep has reached 700.
This value did not continue to increase, but the same, did not decrease.
After the escape game was announced by those people, did these players fall into a deep sleep?
Ruan Bai thought of this, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
No, she can't let Gu Buchao Heshe Xiaoxue go on like this!
Their vegetative state is not so much a deep sleep, but rather a soul trapped by the escape game system.
It has been more than ten days and has not recovered. Every minute and every second in the future may cause a crisis of death.
She must think of a way... to rescue them all.
The author has something to say:
Prepare to finish the internship before the internship. There is probably a small game world to end~
