Chapter 19: Nameless Copy (1)
[About the incident where ten of us players were wiped out as soon as we entered the dungeon]
This post was pushed to the front page within a few minutes.
Bai You clicked in to take a look.
The poster said that he felt severe pain all over his body as soon as he entered the dungeon, and then his eyes went black, and he was killed and kicked offline along with his teammates.
The whole process took less than five seconds. Not to mention seeing the map clearly, he didn’t even hear the system’s welcome to the dungeon mechanical sound.
After complaining on the forum and contacting them privately, it was discovered that all ten players who entered the dungeon at that time had the same situation.
The poster’s description was very detailed and didn’t seem made up. At the same time, several players who entered the dungeon together spoke downstairs, saying that what the poster said was true.
Bai You checked the IDs of these speakers and found that they were not artificially opening smurf accounts, and they all had login and play records ten minutes ago, and even the time of the offline was the same.
If what the poster said was true, and ten players were eliminated at the same time just after entering the game without knowing what happened, how difficult would the dungeon be?
A level? S level?
But as far as Bai You knew, the highest difficulty level of the dungeon was only C level, so it was impossible to be so dangerous.
So she guessed that there was probably a bug in the dungeon.
Using the administrator’s authority, Bai You searched for the dungeon room they entered, and resigned herself to dealing with the bug. However, she was slightly stunned when she saw the room number.
[001]
This was the room she had just come out of after clearing the dungeon of the Seventh Middle School.
She pursed her lips and put on the bracelet.
“System, has the virus in room [001] just been cleared?”
The mechanical voice in the bracelet replied without emotion:
“Dear Administrator No. 1, the system has been cleared according to your instructions. There is no abnormality in room [001] during radar detection.”
The virus has been cleared, and there is no abnormality… Does that mean the difficulty of this dungeon is normal?
Bai You looked through the official dungeon list. There is no new dungeon with a sudden increase in difficulty. The highest is only level C.
So could it be that they accidentally triggered some mechanism, which led to the direct annihilation?
After all, this is the only exception, and no one else has encountered this situation.
Although Bai You felt a little strange, she didn’t take it to heart because the system didn’t detect any abnormality. After browsing the post for a while, she turned off the computer and went back to bed to sleep.
Today, from dealing with abnormalities to entering the game to clearing viruses, she was more or less tired. The mental exhaustion made her fall asleep quickly.
Bai You seemed to hear some sound in her drowsiness, but she couldn’t hear it clearly because she was so sleepy.
She frowned, but the sound disappeared when she was about to wake up. She fell into a deep sleep again.
It was just that the air conditioner seemed to be broken, and the temperature suddenly became cold.
The warm and soft mattress under her body didn’t feel right, as if it had become a cold and hard iron plate, which was neither warm nor uncomfortable.
Until a gust of cold wind blew, Bai You’s curled up body finally couldn’t help shaking and woke up.
As a result, her vision was pitch black.
Ah, she remembered that she turned on the night light before going to bed. Did it turn off automatically?
Bai You subconsciously reached out to touch the side, but found nothing.
…? ?
Where is the lamp at the head of her bed? ?
Wait a minute, the touch under me is not right, the rough and thorny wooden board, the cold temperature…
Realizing that something is wrong, Bai You quickly sat up, and the sound of the chain colliding suddenly sounded in the darkness.
The iron ring on the ankle rubbed hard with this action, and the cold and tingling sensation made Bai You sober instantly.
Bai You caught a chain along her ankle, which was very long. She didn’t know where it was connected. She tried to pull it, but couldn’t pull it.
The air around her was filled with a strong smell of blood and burning carbon products. It was pungent and unpleasant.
Is she… in the game now?
After reacting, Bai You tried to call the system, but there was no response.
Not to mention checking the information, even the inventory could not be opened, as if the system did not exist at all.
How could it be…
Even if the system is blocked, the player can open the inventory, which she did in the last copy.
But why can’t she even open the inventory now?
Bai You panicked for a moment.
But she quickly forced herself to calm down.
There was no point in panicking. This was probably a problem with the game, and she was inexplicably transferred to the dungeon.
How could such a scene happen in reality?
Bai You got up and got out of bed. Because she was not wearing shoes, she stepped on a cold liquid on the ground. It was sticky and a little dry. It seemed to be… blood?
Bai You frowned slightly, ignored it, and continued to walk in one direction until she groped for the wall in the dark.
She passed the cabinets, desks, and coat racks one by one…
Wait, why is the placement of these furniture so similar to her home? !
A terrible idea suddenly came to Bai You’s mind. She quickly walked back to the place where she had just gotten up and groped at the head of the bed.
The bedside table was empty. She touched down along the corner of the cabinet. On the floor, her little finger suddenly touched a cold object. She touched it and found that it was not big, but a round shape.
–It was her penguin night light.
Bai You picked up the night light and pressed the switch at the back.
“Snap!”
The soft yellow light suddenly lit up, instantly illuminating everything around.
Looking around, Bai You was stunned by the furniture in the room.
Everything here was very familiar to her. The computer desk, bed, and even the bedside table beside her that she had personally selected had marks left by her when she had boiled water.
“You’re right. His ability has been fading, and he will soon become a tool controlled by you.”
[10, 9, 8…]
“So have you thought it through?”
[6, 5, 4…]
“Of course.” She answered quickly, and her soft voice seemed particularly brisk in the countdown.
The notebook opened the first page without wind, and the font floated out, surrounding the aperture and entwining.
[When you grow with time in the immortal poem.
As long as there are humans, or humans have eyes,
This poem will live forever and give you life. 】
[3, 2…]
[1]
The girl turned her head, her clear blue eyes reflected the flustered figure, and she smiled gently.
“Welcome to the dungeon system.”
Author’s words:
Note: The poem in the text is Shakespeare’s sonnet
Chapter 42 End
The room was dim, and there was a faint ticking sound.
The pale girl slowly opened her eyes and woke up, sitting up from the bed, coughing weakly, her long hair scattered on the bed.
The sound of scattered footsteps sounded beside her, a white figure swayed in front of her, and the cold instrument ticked.
Bai You let them check like a doll.
“The heart rate index has returned to normal…”
She trembled her eyelashes slightly.
Is it over…?
In the last copy, she reversed her identity and became a player in the system that was deprived of her rights.
In the end, she finally broke free from the imprisonment and returned to reality.
She raised her eyes and looked at the sunlight outside the window.
It was a bit dazzling.
It was warm and clear, shining on her body, so real.
But is this really reality?
The sunlight was suddenly blocked, and the nurse pulled the curtains halfway up.
“Your body has not recovered yet, so it is not suitable to be in the sun for too long.”
Bai You hummed softly, lowered her eyelashes, and blocked her snow-blue eyes.
A few months later, Bai You was finally discharged from the hospital and returned to her home.
She cleaned up the room, sat down tiredly, poured herself a glass of water, and felt a little better after drinking it.
The bracelet on the table lay quietly.
Bai You looked at it for a long time, and reached out to pick it up.
The game Ember is still running. No one has encountered the same situation as her. Only her consciousness is trapped in the game.
No one would believe that she was trapped in the game.
If you really want to say it, you would probably just think that she was addicted to the game.
Si Yu…
Did that person successfully leave the game?
After a year of getting along in the game, he was the boss of the game on the surface, extremely dangerous, but in her opinion, this person was actually very naive.
He was also in need of love, just wanted someone to be with him.
Bai You put down the bracelet and walked to his bookcase.
The defective black cat on the cabinet escaped from the perfect mechanical manufacturing, with a one in ten thousand probability, just like this time she was chosen by the game.
There will always be someone who is unlucky, but she is the unlucky one.
The only thing she is thankful for is probably meeting that person who can get her out of the control of the system and let her escape.
These days, she checked many hospital cases, but did not find patients like her.
She gently stroked the black cat’s head and whispered.
“Si Yu…”
The cat under her palm rubbed against her.
Bai You was startled.
“… Meow.”
This was clearly her home.
But the bed beside her was empty, the mattress disappeared, leaving only the cold and hard wooden board, which was splashed with blood and had dried black.
The floor under her feet was even more horrible, the bloodstains made the originally white floor messy, with one piece after another.
Bai You pursed her lips tightly.
Is this a game or reality?
If it is a game, why is the scene of the copy exactly the same as her home? And the system does not have any prompts?
If it is reality, why did her home inexplicably become like this? Where did all this blood come from?
And… who locked her up?
The chain on her ankle is a four-digit combination lock. Bai You studied it and found that this kind of lock will automatically lock if the password is answered incorrectly three times. She has no clue now, so she did not try it easily.
The other end of the chain was outside. Bai You followed the chain and found that the chain passed through the door. The dark red iron door, which was originally ordinary, was covered with sharp thorns.
Perhaps it should not be simply called thorns. It was a thorn bed made of steel thorns that were one meter long. Each steel thorn was extremely sharp and chilling.
Under Bai You’s gaze, the chain that passed through the door was swallowed by the door by the length of the lock. After about thirty seconds, it was shortened again.
Is it a time game?
Bai You understood.
The chain will become shorter over time. If the combination lock is not unlocked when the chain is shortened to the shortest…
The result is imaginable.
But since it is a time game, there will be no clues.
Bai You ran back to the room and quickly searched for information.
She tried to turn on the light in the room, but it didn’t work. So the only light source at present was the night light in her hand. It was very difficult to find things.
She searched the farthest place first, and almost searched the wardrobe in the corner, but there was nothing except ordinary clothes.
She searched other places, but found nothing.
It seems that the direction is not here.
Bai You frowned and thought, if it was her, where would she hide the password…?
“Plop.”
A light sound of water drops came from the floor next to her, interrupting Bai You’s thoughts.
Water?
She subconsciously looked up, and her pupils suddenly shrunk.
The ceiling was densely packed with black hands, one by one, waving their claws and fangs, stretching out frantically to catch her, and scarlet blood dripped down their arms.
“…”
No wonder there was no corpse on the floor but there was so much blood inexplicably, it turned out to be theirs.
The ceiling seemed to have become shorter.
It seems that like this chain, there is a time limit.
Bai You just took a look and lowered his head, continuing to think about where the password would be hidden.
As she breathed, the smell of blood and burning carbon products in the air made her pause.
Opening the kitchen door, there was a metal brazier in the middle, with charcoal burning inside. There were some white paper fragments and black debris on the edge of the brazier, which seemed to be left by burning paper.
There was also a knife next to the brazier, which looked very sharp.
Bai You carefully took out the pieces of white paper and pieced them together carefully, but could only barely make out a few words.
[Choose, choose, secret, die]
Putting the knife next to the brazier, plus the word [Choose] in these words, Bai You guessed whether these meant:
When people can’t get the password, they have to choose between dying and losing a leg?
Bai You gave up this choice directly, without any consideration, threw down the paper and walked out of the kitchen.
Even if someone really had the heart to do it to him, without the conditions to stop the bleeding and bandage, he would bleed to death sooner or later.
Even if she survived, she couldn’t tell what she would encounter next. Facing the unknown in this state would still be courting death.
It was just a slow death, no difference.
The black arms above her head were much lower, less than 20 centimeters away from her head. She could still see those hands with long nails and blood oozing from the dark blue fingers when she looked up.
One of the hands was particularly strong, like a giant’s arm, with well-developed muscles and bulging black veins.
But it didn’t show its teeth and claws like the hand next to it, but stopped quietly, its fingers moving bit by bit, as if patiently waiting for its prey.
The chain had shortened to two-thirds, and Bai You couldn’t reach the position against the wall. She continued to flip through the items in the room. All kinds of small things that she bought but never used were thrown on the ground by her, and were covered with fishy blood.
No, no…
She searched the whole room, but there was no clue about the password, not even a trace.
Why?
Could it be that… there is actually no password at all?
This game is simply a cruel game, and it just wants people to choose between these two results?
“…”
Bai You were silent for a long time.
She walked into the kitchen and picked up the knife next to the brazier.
Author has something to say:
[About being cheated by my wife, I was so angry, but what can my wife do except spoil me, so I can only take it out on other players]
