His mental power covered the entire ward, and he also saw the people who came in.

Two researchers, one old and one young, and two burly bodyguards.

"What a bunch of losers! It's been so long, and they still haven't found the anomaly in the data!"

The older one was very impatient. He took a quick glance as he entered the ward and pointed at one of the people whose bedside equipment was spinning frantically.

The young man walked over to check on his situation and did not forget to comfort the old man.

"After all, this game has been running for nearly forty years, so it's normal for anomalies to occur. In my opinion, instead of maintaining this old equipment, it would be better to develop a new horror game from scratch."

The old man snorted, his tone full of contempt.

"If they can develop a new game, why bother maintaining this one? Ever since that person disappeared, no one else can complete such an experiment!"

Bai Chi saw that the young man walked to the bed where the instruments were whirring wildly. He checked it carefully and did not make any other movements.

But Bai Chi discovered that there seemed to be something right above the bed, absorbing some energy from the person on the bed.

As for the person on the hospital bed, no one knew what he had encountered in the virtual world. Even though he was unconscious, his face was still full of fear, his whole body was tense, and even his hands and feet were struggling.

If the other person's hands and feet had not been tied to the bed, he would probably have fallen off the bed.

The old man checked the remaining people and finally pointed at two of them.

"These two are no longer useful. Take them out. The room next door is empty. Remember to find someone new next month."

It turned out that the two were not bodyguards, but porters. They were carrying a person who had lost vital signs. When they passed by Bai Chi, Bai Chi observed the two carefully.

Or rather, two bodies.

There is an obvious depression at the fontanelle on the top of the head, and the brain inside has completely shrunk and is dry as if it had been sucked dry.

In just a few minutes, the old man and the young man checked everyone present, including Bai Chi.

During this time, there were occasional dripping sounds, which seemed to be reminding the person on the bed that a critical value had been reached, and then energy would be absorbed.

The two men left quickly. Before they left, they went to an instrument at the door that was connected to each bed, took out a crystal clear crystal stone from it, and replaced it with a new one.

"Master, I checked it, it's spiritual power! The power that was absorbed is everyone's spiritual power!"

Xiao Hei suddenly spoke, causing Bai Chi to pause for a moment before continuing to sit up.

He didn't rush to get out of bed. Instead, he raised his hand and took out a mirror. Seeing the face with atrophied muscles, sunken cheeks, and bulging eyes, even though he had a premonition, he still couldn't help but hiss.

This is like a starving ghost, even worse than the situation of other people in the room.

If he hadn't held on with all his might, he would have had difficulty even sitting up.

Xiao Hei heard it and hurried to comfort him.

"Master, you've been lying in this body for at least ten years. You're lucky to be alive. Your husband isn't in the real world anyway, so don't worry so much about your appearance."

"My health is so bad that it's hard for me to even go out."

He glanced at the surveillance cameras in several corners. He was now using his mental power to create an illusion, so even the surveillance cameras couldn't capture anything.

The video of him sitting up at the beginning had already been modified by Xiao Hei, so there was no need to worry about that.

After taking out a crystal core of the lowest level, Bai Chi didn't dare to eat a big fat man in one breath, so he could only do it slowly.

"Xiao Hei, check this body and see how long it can hold on."

Having said that, Bai Chi lay down again. After just a moment, he felt like his body could no longer support him.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for him, this body would probably have become a corpse and been disposed of.

Xiao Hei carefully scanned and examined Bai Chi's body, and finally got the result after a while.

But this result is not optimistic.

"Master, this body is in such poor condition. Even if you use your crystal core to maintain it, it can only last a month at most. Your internal organs have all atrophied. Master, you can't even drink water now."

Bai Chi guessed it, so it wasn't surprising.

It seems that my own path of action is completely unworkable.

"Forget it, let's connect to the network in this area first and see what's going on."

After figuring this out, Bai Chi didn't force it anymore. What he had to do now was to figure out what was going on and then find Yunxiao.

According to the two people just now, the game world where Yunxiao is located was created by someone alone forty years ago. They stimulate people's mental power through games, and then use instruments to extract the mental power.

The medium that contains spiritual power is actually crystal.

What do they need mental power for?

Do you want to create someone with super powers?

Apart from this, Bai Chi couldn't think of any other possibility for a moment.

And the person who completed this game was able to create an artificial intelligence all by himself!

Moreover, based on what he has seen so far, the technological level of this world should be considered relatively backward, and it is not yet at the point where true artificial intelligence can be developed.

Most importantly, Yunxiao.

He is not just artificial intelligence.

Rather than saying that he is artificial intelligence, it is better to say that he is more like the brain waves of a human who has accidentally entered the game, just like them, the game participants, or experimenters!

A mess of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Bai Chi returned directly to the system space.

Just because Achi couldn't be found, the little ball that was floating lifelessly in the air suddenly returned to Baichi's body.

Xiao Hei on the side rolled his eyes. Really, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have brought him out with me. It would have been better to keep him and accompany his husband in the game!

"By the way, Master, this little ball is your husband's clone, so can he know the situation here through this?"

Bai Chi teased the little ball with his fingers, and when he heard Xiao Hei's question, he answered it without thinking twice.

"After all, we are in two different dimensions. It is impossible for me to rely on the little dumpling to know the situation here."

But Xiaotuanzi was with him, and when he played with Xiaotuanzi, Yunxiao must have felt something.

This is also the reason why Bai Chi did not object to Xiao Hei taking Xiao Tuanzi with him.

Bai Chi felt that instead of leaving Xiaotuanzi with Yunxiao, letting Xiaotuanzi follow him would allow Yunxiao to feel Xiaotuanzi and sense him at all times, which would obviously make him feel more at ease.

However, Bai Chi did not explain too much to Xiao Hei. He just played with Xiao Tuanzi for a while and then focused his attention on system testing.
