Chapter 155: Examining the Truth of the Script
Li Nuo was standing at the end of the corridor, pointing a gun into the room.
There is a huge screen in the house.
Soran looked at Li Nuo's actions and felt puzzled: "What game did you just say?"
Li Nuo said, ""RPG Game Maker", have you never experienced it?"
Soran shrugged his shoulders: "Indeed not."
A staff member wearing glasses walked out of the room, exactly the same as the staff member in the copy of "RPG Game Maker".
But this man's demeanor was obviously different from the one he met before.
He raised his hand, nodded slightly to Li Nuo, and said kindly: "I didn't expect to meet a man like you."
Li Nuo said: "Don't think that I can stop saying such flattering words. Gun."
The other party directly gave way and said: "Since you can't escape, please come in."
Li Nuo put away the gun.
Sauron followed him in.
There is a snack rack, a painting table for drawing posters, a few chairs, a computer desk, and a computer. The screen displays surveillance images of each area.
"Sure enough, it's the same as before." Li Nuo said immediately: "I said it has always been strange... The systematic expression is not formal. I encountered it once in the previous script, which was "RPG Game Production Master"." He looked
towards Sauron asked, "Do you need me to explain?"
Sauron nodded silently.
Li Nuo said: "There is a script that combines the stories experienced by players to form a special new script. There is no world view or story in that script. After the player completes the task, a 'staff member' in the script will follow the player's instructions. I compiled a story based on my experience. At that time, I also thought about the meaning of this kind of script..."
He looked at the dark-faced staff sitting on the chair and said: "It turns out that it is used to make assessment scripts for players. Ah."
Staff: "When did you... know about it?"
"I just knew it." Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "But if you think about it carefully, many unreasonable things become reasonable, such as why the architectural style of the slums is No one noticed the violation, and the most important thing..."
He walked up to the staff, bent down, and said with a smile: "You didn't finish Rishangshan's script, did you?"
The staff stammered: " No, there is no such thing."
""RPG Game Maker" will be divided into different sections of mini-BOSS areas. The way to enter the BOSS battle is to 'teleport'." Li Nuo put the index fingers of his left and right hands together and quickly distanced himself. : "From point A to point B at extremely fast speeds, there is no connection between them. The strangest thing about Rishang Mountain is..." Li Nuo said, squinting his eyes here: "The way to enter Rishang Mountain is to teleport directly. There are six ways to enter a new dungeon, but the way to enter Rishang Mountain is extremely fragmented." The
staff member sat on the chair and asked in a deep voice: "How come you know so well...?"
Li Nuo said bluntly: "There is a script about a zombie singer that I wrote for one of your staff members."
When he finished speaking, the staff member was stunned: "Are you... the legendary underworld big brother?"
Sauron frowned and stared at Li Nuo's back, the above conversation created a feeling that was both serious and funny in his ears, which was so inconsistent with his character that he didn't know how to answer the conversation.
Li Nuo was also startled for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the last time he saw the staff member, he introduced himself as "the gangster brother".
"So I'm famous?"
"Because the script you wrote is such a bastard." The staff member spread his hands and said, "In the end, there will be two BOSS battles in a row, and the second BOSS is still you. You are too narcissistic." According to
" RPG Game Maker".
It requires a group of players to enter the script first, and then a behind-the-scenes staff compiles a script with loopholes but a reasonable world view based on the players' experiences.
Li Nuo nodded and said thoughtfully: "Let's talk about this script. Meeting you doesn't count as cracking the hidden world line?" "
I don't know what the hell you mean by the hidden world view... But it's just a matter of routine. I have to say something..." The staff member turned his head, stood up and straightened his body and said: "Congratulations to you two... for discovering our assessment and supervision room."
He read word by word like a robot: "Enter here The requirement here is that you need to complete the excavation of two hidden lines. Here you will see the contributing factors of this assessment script. You and everyone are NPCs in this assessment game." Li Nuo heard the voice of the
system .
[Player 5900, the hidden world line has been cracked]
[Reward: The right to convert between the inner world and the real world]
[The inner world: the urban cracks formed by Chang An under the influence of the Gate of Underworld]
[Real world: North Town]
[The right to convert: eliminate All are always dark, and all human creatures in the inner world are transferred to the same position in the real world (a wall jam situation will occur)] [
Duration is 1 minute]
[Special reward for cracking the world view: Game CD (receive it by email after all assessments are completed)]
Li Nuo moved a chair and sat down, thinking in his mind: "Hidden Line 1: Find the connection between the branch lines, requiring about 50% branch line completion. Hidden Line 2: Find the hidden truth of the branch line. 100% branch line completion is required. These two are actually the keys to enter the truth room. Only by getting the key can you know the real world line of the script...that is, the initiator...the staff." At this time, the staff breathed a sigh of relief: "My job is
considered It's over, you two can leave."
"By the way..." Sauron said: "You are very angry with us two."
The staff said: "We judge the strength of your data based on personal conditions."
He Pointing at Sauron, he said angrily: "Player 5870, your data strength, item strength, and team strength combined are considered the strongest participant. In order to prevent you from disturbing the script, I put you here." Space."
Soran pointed at himself: "That's right... According to what you said, will I return to Beizhen in the real world under certain circumstances?" "You
also know!" The staff took a picture. Desk: "The setting is that six hours after the script starts, you will meet a fighter with the ability to travel through time and space, and appear with him in North Town! But you actually ran to the other world by yourself with those strange abilities! You took me The whole process of writing the script has been disrupted!"
Li Nuo pointed at Soran and smiled: "Reflect on it."
Soran: "Tsk..."
Staff: "Player 5900, the same goes for you. Two branches disappeared because of you. , in a sense, you are worse."
Li Nuo said as if he hadn't heard: "In other words, the normal process should be that we were divided into two camps at the beginning, the sound nest and the anti-sound nest. But as Ignis's plan was revealed, he In order to become a stronger one, he began to absorb the power of fighters in another world (the other world), and our group of players who took the exam could not escape. Even the players in the Sound Nest camp would be attacked by him indiscriminately, so he It became..."
He took a deep breath and pointed at the ceiling and said loudly: "The story of the Anti-Demon King Army and the Demon King's Second and Fifth Aberdeen teamed up to attack the Demon King." "
You can say that... but due to the operations of the two of you, I've been working overtime here to revise the script!" The staff member banged on the table and said angrily: "My job was originally just to supervise the exam. Don't let the game script process have serious problems. You two can fix it for me. There are a lot of bugs! I can't even fix them!"
He pointed at his head and said: "My CPU was almost exploded by you guys. Can I not be angry, you two! Can I not be resentful! Can I be right to you two? Do you have a good face?!"
Li Nuo smiled and waved his hand: "Calm down, didn't you also cheat me by judging me as a general?" "
That was not my doing..." Work The staff member pushed up his glasses: "To be precise, that should be determined by the system itself... My only responsibility is to write the script."
Sauron: "Can I ask what's going on with the system? "
The staff member said: "We are developing a strange RPG game. That game is a software that the boss got from someone who doesn't know where it came from, but it's very strange... It seems that I am the only one working on it, but there seem to be many others."
Li Nuo remembered what the previous staff member said, which was similar to this one.
He finally understood.
This group of staff exists like a kind of data code. They do what they are assigned to do uniformly. The only purpose of their work is to establish an assessment script.
The staff member poured a glass of water and said a little unhappily: "In short, my damn boss is like a smart program, but he pays me wages, so I can only do everything. In short, I only have one job. Make sure there are no mistakes in the script."
He turned his head and looked at the computer.
Then the coordinates of the monitor were adjusted. The moment the screen went black and locked on Nicoheim Square, the water glass in the staff's hand fell to the ground.
"...Something happened again!"
...
Ten minutes ago.
"Where did that kid go?"
"..."
Nanami was already a little impatient.
"Hey...he's not dead, is he?"
Marger glanced to the side: "Looking at the best, at least he took away the strongest player before he died."
"Idiot, what's next? We are facing Ignis and dozens of players, with him or without him there are two different situations!" Nanami shouted anxiously.
It's not her fault.
For players on the SoundChat side, player 5870 is "insignificant".
But for the four remaining players in the Exorcist Cube, player 5900 is as important as a tactical weapon.
It was precisely because player 5900's identity was basically exposed that more players lowered their firepower towards Marjie and others. In addition, Li Nuo's previous policy of using a loudspeaker to call on fighters to gang-up Ignis took effect.
This caused a large number of players to return to Nicoheim Square where Ignis was located, because some fighters did run over to make trouble...
Ignis died, and the players on the Sound Nest side would most likely not get tickets.
Ignis is about to die, and the players on the Sound Nest side can still grab a kill.
This is also one of Sauron's plans. Let Li Nuo, the leader of the exorcist party, hide completely to slow down the chaos and add a layer of protection to the lives of Li Nuo's teammates. It is also considered a favor.
On the other hand, the fighters on the bus included Akira Ichijo, Ume Nobu, and Jusan Kanzaki, and there were two more people, one was Mai Shiranui and the other was Angel.
The former is one of the leading ninjas of the Shiranui school.
The latter is a reformed warrior of the former sound nest.
One of the two has a strong sense of justice, and the other has a grudge against Yinchao.
Moreover, they all have big breasts.
"Hey... I say, little brother." Angel sat behind the shelf, leaning against the shelf, and said lazily: "How long do we have to get to Ignis? If I had known you were so slow, I would have left with K9999 ."
"Ha~ Miss Angel, please be patient and patient." After Marjie finished speaking, he looked at Nanami and his face changed instantly: "If you have time to complain about Li Nuo's presence, don't you? Will you do a good job of security? Don't let the ladies get hurt, you bastard."
Nanami: "I'm a woman too!"
Emil's bus has broken through the last line made by the players under the protection of Ichijo Akira's shikigami. Surrounding net.
Under a blaze of fire, the car suddenly crashed into a building.
Tom: "Someone used something to change the route of the car!"
Marger raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings: "There are a few strange monsters, but they obviously didn't pay attention to us. What are they...!"
Nanami was shocked: "What?"
"A wild boar monster fell into the ditch!"
Bang!
Nanami gritted her teeth: "Be more serious..."
Marger rubbed his head and said: "Hmph, I didn't see anyone controlling the car. Looking at it... someone should have used some kind of Things like skills are guiding Tom's driving route."
"Someone controlled the car with a wire." Mei Xuan said and looked behind him. A long, thin wire that was difficult to find was tied to the handle of the car body.
As soon as she pulled out the knife, Mai Shiranui stood aside and said: "I have a better way."
She used the fan in her hand to create a ball of flame, ignited the thread, then held the fan in her mouth and clasped her hands together , as if reciting a mantra, closing eyes, opening eyes, the fire suddenly jumped out along the trajectory of the silk thread!
In the next second, Marjie saw the figure of a player appearing dozens of meters away. He was struggling because he was burned by the fire: "There are some players who can hide their bodies so that I can't even see them with my prosthetic eyes..."
Nanami shrugged her shoulders: "It's not surprising. Players' methods may not be strong, but the best thing is that they are hard to guard against." "It's hard to guard against
..." Marger pondered and said, "If that's the case, why should we be guided to take another route? ?"
Nanami: "To avoid being unavoidable?"
Tom smiled: "Sister, what are you thinking? It must be to make it inevitable for us to avoid it."
Yes, it is inevitable...Nanami smiled , suddenly his eyes focused: "What is this!"
The wall in front suddenly shattered, the ground shook, and a giant insect emerged from the ground.
Nanami recognized this guy at a glance: "Abyss Worm!"
Even Marge was surprised: "Why is "Trajectory in the Sky" even here?"
Nanami immediately drew her sword as if facing a powerful enemy.
Most of the scripts before level 25 are casual games with low intensity. A few will go to special scripts, such as Li Nuo's first script "NieR (Final Fantasy)", and the same is true for Nanami's first script. , she went to the Japanese RPG "Trails in the Sky".
Generally speaking, players in a script like Advent will only be involved in some simple tasks.
But there is more than one Li Nuo in the world.
The group of people who can stand on the ceiling of players at level 25 all have a desire to explore and seek death.
It was in that script that Nanami learned the [Qilin Kung Fu] and came into contact with creatures like the Abyss Worm.
This creature can cause earthquakes and is extremely ferocious.
The car shook wildly, and the source of the vibration was underground.
Marjie glanced around and saw a strange shadow not far outside the building: "Miss Chabai...can you hear me?"
Chabai outside received the communicator signal and said, "Yes." Marjie : "There is a weird player nearby. I suspect he has summoning skills. Help find and kill him." "
Okay." Cha Bai spoke concisely, hung up the communication, and watched the movements on the roof not far away, wearing tactical goggles. A humanoid creature with weak vitality was scanned. According to the analysis of the cybernetic eye, it was a player.
She rushed in without hesitation and attacked the player who had just used the [Abyss Worm Summoning Card] with a heavy hammer.
After the opponent quickly dodged, he was about to counterattack when Chabai suddenly used the fireball technique to hit his face. With a roar of pain, he slammed the opponent's front door with a hammer.
The player leaned back in pain and was about to take out the blood medicine, but Chabai took the first step to separate his body with his left arm, pinched his arm, stepped on the opponent's chest, used the force to kick him up, and clamped his legs around him With his head and right arm swinging the hammer, he hit the player's Tianling Cap crazily.
Normal combat takes no more than ten seconds.
This is what separates the top players from the average players.
Cha Bai: "Solve it, your side..."
The ground suddenly shook violently!
The Abyss Worm lost its summoning source and fell into madness!
"Ladies, sit down!" Marger loaded a [Detonating Bullet] into the revolver [Comrade's Hammer], preparing to use [Detonating Phantom Light Break] to quickly end the worm's life.
Click!
It took him a few tenths of a second to change the bullets. The moment he raised the gun, he saw Angel and Mei Xuan standing at the front of the car, looking at him sideways.
The body of the abyss worm had been broken into pieces and fell to the ground, turning into a puddle.
Marger put away his weapon in embarrassment.
"Hmph... I forgot, I am being protected by women..."
"Don't be shameless..." Nanami sneered: "If there were no fighters here... we would have been in danger just now."
Marger I agree with what Nanami said.
But what he was thinking about was not that there were fighters, but that he was lucky enough to be in the same camp as that cheater Li Nuo...
Angel held a fragment of the abyss worm's carapace, sat back on the seat, crossed his legs, and revealed a pair of The lazy ruffian said: "That big bug feels very powerful, but it feels like... it can't use its full strength for some reasons." Because the person who summoned
it must be dead... Marjie received Chabai's voice , swore and stretched out his hand: "Miss Angel, can you give me that insect carapace?"
Angel threw it over.
Marjie put this thing into his backpack and helped Li Nuo find some ingredients for making decoction.
at the same time.
The car crashed into an alley.
Hidechiyo happened to run over from the roof, and Wells in front of her saw everyone making a thumbs up sign.
The two disappeared into the night.
Another part of Li Nuo's plan is to use the fighter's destructive power to attract the attention of Geese (Ignis), giving Hidechiyo an opportunity to stab him in the back.
Sneak attack is always the best way to fight.
...
Coming to this script, there are a total of 232 people who are treated as fighters.
200 people are players.
The 32 people are NPCs in different fighting games.
So far, there are 41 players left.
Among the 32 real fighters, half are still wandering around in various areas of the world, either disturbed by monsters or not interested in weird experiences.
The remaining fighters are at home.
Ayane was killed by Hidechiyo before.
Luo Jiang Shensuiji was dragged by Hayabusa.
Amano Diao was looking at Doctor Faustus who might fall into madness and cause trouble at any time.
Ichijo Akira, Kanzaki Jusan, Ume Nobuhiro, Shiranui Mai, and Angel were in the car.
In addition to the above, there are nine other fighters who have joined the chaos.
Among the nine people, except for one fighter who stood on the side of the sound nest, five of the remaining eight people were held back by players and demons.
Interior of Nicoheim Square.
Many players still don’t know what’s going on.
They were kept in the dark like poor wild cats and had no idea what kind of disaster they were about to face.
All I saw was a dazzling flame suddenly bursting out from the building above me, sparks popping out like fireworks about to rise into the sky, burning more and more intensely, and soon spread into a sea of fire, engulfing the entire building. .
I don't know if it's a fighter or a demon fighting.
The person who was about to go up to check was caught on fire and his eyebrows were set on fire halfway, and he turned back the same way while screaming.
Seeing this, the others retreated unconsciously, calling for their teammates to come over.
"Quick, quick, this way!"
But within a few steps, they were knocked away by a shock wave not far away.
...
Gice grabbed Joan (KOF) by the collar and threw the unconscious woman to the ground.
He looked at the other two guys opposite, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a sick smile: "Don't let me down, you two."
Standing opposite him were Terry and K9999.
The former has a grudge against Geese, and the latter has a grudge against Ignis. These two are the only ones who cannot stay out of the matter.
K9999 has long blue hair, wears an orange tights with a red cape, a special blue glove on his left hand, a black bandage on his right hand, dark blue trousers on his lower body, and blue high boots with an orange mid-part line.
He twisted his neck contemptuously and said to the people around him: "Don't hold back."
Terry touched his nose, straightened his baseball cap, and then put on a posture: "You are the one."
When the two of them finished speaking, , an oppressive feeling that made it difficult to breathe erupted in the air.
Geese raised his head slightly. In the original game, he was also one of the strongest. He was far from being comparable to ordinary fighters. Even if he is just a clone now, he is not far behind.
No one can interfere in this duel, which belongs to the most powerful person present.
In a master's duel, one flaw can often determine the outcome of life or death.
Geese is a person who will do anything to win. The moment he blocked the two consecutive attacks, his clothes suddenly exploded, exposing Ignis's head hidden on his back.
Ignis, who had been sleeping, opened his eyes.
Terry and K9999 were both shocked.
Ignis: "Why are you bothering me?"
Geese: "Someone is causing trouble behind the scenes, please lend me some of your power."
Ignis saw K9999's face, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I only give you five seconds of power."
He took away part of the control of Geese's body, raised his hand and released a radiant white sphere.
For a moment.
The entire ground of Nicoheim Square was shattered by the powerful light source.
The wave circle covers an area of nearly a hundred meters.
Terry protected Joan and quickly hid under a stone platform, but K9999's fear of Ignis was awakened, and he watched the light of destruction shine over him, but was unable to move a step.
When the light recedes.
K9999 only heard Angel's familiar voice: "Hey, are you scared?"
A maggot-like bus blocked his way.
Tom, a guy who always wanted to do something for himself, drove into the square at the last moment. He used his newly learned driving skills to drift the car and stood in front of K9999. He also used the hardness and anti-magic properties of Emil's bus shell to block Ignis's energy bombardment. .
The veins all over Guis's body stood out at this moment.
Raising his hand, another energy ball was rapidly forming in the center of his palm.
Faced with this situation, Marjie immediately threw a [Shit Block] at him. The other party didn't care about the dirty object at all. Only when it was hit did Jijis realize that there were still people treating shit as a serious matter in such a serious occasion. arms.
The master's distraction is often fatal.
Mei Xuan jumped off the car and at the same time shot out the chains from the mechanical hand to fix Jis' body.
In an instant, Terry rushed forward with a punch and hit Keith in the abdomen.
Giss gasped out a mouthful of blood.
"Is that all?"
He smiled, as if he was not hurt at all, broke away from the chains, and burst out with arrogance.
Marger told Tom to turn the car around and fire at Guise.
Amidst the gunfire, the fighters rushed forward one after another, and all kinds of killing moves came as promised.
Gith seemed to be in a panic, but he was still able to fight with various masters.
until.
A long knife cut his neck and penetrated into the bone.
Hidechiyo stabbed Hidechiyo in the back, but Giese didn't guard against it. He immediately tightened his muscles and clamped the blade to his neck. When he was about to turn around and fight back, Hidechiyo let go of the handle of the knife, got down from his belly, and pulled out the two dachi swords from his waist. , cut off Giese's arm with one knife, and inserted it into his heart.
...
in Geese's subconscious.
He stood opposite Ignis.
Ignis: "Failed?"
Geese: "No... there is still a chance to gamble."
Ignis: "What do you mean?"
Geese: "Give me all your control. Lord Ignis, we are going to die anyway."
Ignis: "What are you talking about?"
Geese: "A guy sent an interesting thing. I asked my subordinates to analyze its composition. The result I found... that thing can regenerate cells."
Ignis: "So?"
Keith: "So I injected that thing into both of us while you were resting."
That thing is called [T-Virus].
Boom—
Giss opened his eyes.
Raise your hand.
The fingertips turned into sharp claws and pierced Hidechiyo's back.
...
Li Nuo and Soran stared at the computer screen together.
The screen showed the ruins of Nicoheim Square in the other world.
In ruins.
The mutated bodies of Ignis and Gith grew like sarcomas on the earth.
"It's probably a player who caused trouble. He injected something like a virus into Gith," Sauron said.
Li Nuo was silent for a few seconds.
He raised his eyes and said: "In other words, now Ignis has completely become the 'Demon King'."
Sauron: "Hey... you don't know..."
Li Nuo said: "Well, I plan to try to see if I can rely on it. Kill Ignis yourself."
