Everyone thought the most powerful scientist they had ever seen was a national treasure-level technologist, until they met Bai Zhi—the Light of Technology, a cosmic-level scientist.
Congratul...
Liu Sun was stunned and looked at them in disbelief: "What's going on? Didn't everything return to normal last time?"
"It really can't be operated... It's exactly the same as last time." Chen Gang's face was also full of panic.
This feeling of being out of control is so familiar!
"Quick, check the equipment? Is there something wrong with the equipment?!" Liu Sun commanded hurriedly.
So they all checked everywhere inside and out and tried again and again.
Still not working!
Just like last time they couldn't change the leaderboard, suddenly they couldn't do it.
Before this, everything was normal, nothing unusual happened, and there was no sign at all. It seemed that everything was fine, except that the management authority of the hunting world did not belong to them!
——It’s like someone gave them management rights, but now it’s closed again.
Liu Sun turned around impatiently. "What the hell is going on? You're going to screw me over. I'm telling you, if anything goes wrong, we'll all be finished together. I'm not going to be happy, but you'll be worse off than me! Damn it, what the hell is going on?!"
He grabbed his hair, at a loss.
Zhou Ming and the others were frightened by his appearance. After a long while, Zhou Ming said in a trembling voice, "Let's wait... wait, just like last time, we just had to wait..."
The last out-of-control situation was indeed resolved very quickly. Before the experts even started investigating, things had returned to normal.
Will it be the same this time?
Liu Sun stopped and hope rose in his eyes: "Yes, it's possible..."
Zhou Ming looked at him, his voice filled with hope. "Minister Liu, let's wait and fix the player respawn bug once things return to normal. That should still be fixable, right?"
"Pa!" Liu Sun slapped him in the face.
Zhou Ming was stunned by the beating, and the others became quiet instantly, even their breathing seemed to disappear.
Zhou Ming looked at him in disbelief.
Liu Sun glared at him: "Look at what you've done! If it weren't for that hunting notice, how could things have turned out like this!"
Zhou Ming pursed his lips and lowered his head, hatred and regret flashing in his eyes.
Kill Bei Baizhi, didn't the person in front of him give him any hint?
He just wanted to kill Bei Baizhi. He had never imagined that the "eternal life in the hunting world" bestowed by Bei Baizhi was actually real! And it really allowed them to be reborn in the hunting world all the time!
Now the hunting world is out of control again. They can’t operate it or change it. “Eternal life” coupled with twenty times the points is simply a nightmare for the players!
And all of this was caused by him...
But how did she manage to grant them eternal life?
Does her bug actually have such a big impact?
An idea gradually emerged in his mind, which made Zhou Ming's body tremble slightly. His heart seemed to be strangled, and he fell into endless panic.
——What if they can’t operate the hunting world because of Bei Baizhi?
——What if, where does she have the control over the hunting world?
No, impossible!
She was just an ordinary player, and now she has become an NPC!
How could she possibly have that kind of power?!
The contestants of Hunting World can’t get out!
They have to go through reincarnation repeatedly in there. In order not to die, they can only kill others. In order not to become the ones being killed, they can only kill people.
Even after death, you cannot leave this world and can only continue to be killed!
Those who were killed want revenge, and those who killed are afraid of revenge from others. No one feels at ease.
Countless viewers were furious. They frantically attacked the Hunting World and the Awareness Department. Forums and official websites were completely destroyed.
"Stop playing dead! Come out and explain yourself!"
"Hurry up and release the players who want to leave the Hunting World! Even though the rules of the Hunting World are set by you, leaving is the contestants' own right. You can't forcibly deprive them of it!"
"What kind of people are the managers of the Awareness Department? How dare they treat the contestants like this?"
"You must give us an explanation. If our child develops any psychological problems in there, I will fight you to the death!"
"The head of the Awareness Department is Liu Sun, and the head of the Hunting World is Zhou Ming. Everyone, go find them!"
"Come out and explain to us now! Stop playing dead! What a piece of crap! Are you deliberately torturing the players?"
"Everyone used to say that the hunting world was the most interesting consciousness world ever, but I think it's the stupidest and most torturous consciousness world ever!"
"We're going to sue the Hunting World and the Awareness Department!"
…
While paying attention to the situation in the Hunting World, these viewers were cursing the Consciousness Department and the Hunting World, hoping that they would give an explanation.
At this time, the authoritative person on the forum said——
[Everyone, the Consciousness Department's actions in hunting the world this time are extremely disgusting and infringe upon the rights of the contestants! As early as when the Consciousness Department was first established, they promised that anyone who entered the Consciousness World could leave at any time if they wanted to, to avoid the danger of consciousness.
You have to understand, this isn't an online game. Consciousness and the human are one. What enters the world of consciousness is essentially our own self. Although it transforms into consciousness, its essence is still our entire being. If something truly happens to the consciousness, the person will die. By torturing the consciousness, they are torturing the contestants themselves!
In this case, we can definitely sue the Hunting World and the Awareness Department. They initially put NPC Bei Baizhi on the leaderboard, granting her powerful powers and making her invincible to players. Now, they're even granting players immortality while increasing their hunting points, encouraging them to hunt each other.
This is intentional torture of the players, and a serious violation of the Awareness Regulations! We players can sue the Awareness Department and demand an answer from the Empire. Otherwise, we will completely lose trust in the Empire and the Awareness Department!
On behalf of all viewers, I demand that the Empire and the Awareness Department give us an explanation immediately! 】
This post was immediately pushed to the top by countless people and always occupied the front page of the forum. Countless viewers came to cheer and asked the awareness department to solve the problem through various channels.
It can be said that in just one day, the entire empire knew what had happened. After all, there were still tens of millions of people in that hunting world who had not been able to get out.
Consciousness department, hunting world, immortality, hunting players, infinite reincarnation, NPC Bei Baizhi...
They are all hot words and everyone knows them.
And in the hunting world.
At first, many people were happy to discover "eternal life", but gradually, they found that it was not right.
Whether it was the people who had died twice or the large teams that had killed countless people, they were all in panic.
The Red Sun team is also hunting.
Those who can become the favorites to win the championship are certainly not simple people.
Although Boss Red did not discover the problem at the beginning, after receiving the notification, they immediately started hunting others. They had artifacts and many high-level equipment, and the team was strong, so they quickly accumulated very high points.
They just want to accumulate high points so that they can win in the later stages and get the title of "King of Hunting".
Of course, wanting to have a chance to kill NPC Bei Baizhi is also one of the reasons.
But soon, a piece of news spread throughout the hunting world—
It is true that NPC Bei Baizhi accepted disciples. They really became her disciples and gained eternal life.
At that moment, he immediately understood everything.
He made the same decision as Yi Chen, killing even more brutally and indiscriminately, not daring to stop at all!
"Boss, do you want to continue today?"
"Go on!" Boss Hong said with a serious face.
The subordinate gasped, "Ah—Boss, I'm tired. I've hunted too many people today. I'm almost having a mental disorder!"
Seeing everyone's exhausted expressions, Boss Hong couldn't help but rub his brows and said, "Don't you all understand? We can't lose, not even once."
Only by being the strongest forever can you avoid being hunted again and again.
It would be best not to have that kind of rebirth even once.
Once reborn, one's strength will be weakened and one will become a weak person, and the weak can easily fall into an infinite death loop!
His subordinates had mournful expressions on their faces: "Boss...but when will this ever end? Are we never going to be able to leave? What's the point of hunting the world?!"
Boss Red's eyes were firm. "No, we can't be separated forever. People in the real world will help us. Unless the Awareness Department is crazy, they wouldn't dare to imprison tens of millions of us here!"
"So we wait, for people in the real world to help us!"
At this moment, one of their team suddenly exclaimed—
"Boss! Yi Chen and his gang have formed an alliance with the Scorpion Gang!"
Red Boss stood up suddenly, shocked: "What?!"
"How could they form an alliance?" someone asked in shock.
Boss Hong clenched his fists, his face gloomy. "They're on guard against us. We currently possess divine weapons and are the most powerful. They're forming an alliance to prevent us from killing them..."
Both of their gangs are weaker than Hongri, but now that they have formed an alliance, they are stronger than them!
Yi Chen and the Scorpion Gang will not be killed by them, but they may be killed by the two allied teams.
"Huh? Then what should we do, boss?"
Boss Red held up his knife: "Continue hunting!"
In such an environment and in such terror, they can only choose to improve their strength and continue hunting.
Yi Chen and his men were wary of him, so they formed an alliance. But after they formed an alliance, he also became wary of them...
All they can do is continue hunting.
The big team is caught in a bloody hunt, and the small team has to hunt desperately to increase their points in order to survive.
Individual players simply cannot survive and can only hide from place to place, either hunting others or being hunted by others.
In this world of consciousness, Bei Baizhi continued to bask in the sun while lying in front of the wooden house, with a cup of tea beside her. No one knew whether she was dozing off or asleep.
Compared to the outside world, it is extremely leisurely.
The length of her health bar is well known, and no one dares to provoke her, as that would be courting death.
Now, not many viewers come to watch her sleep, and even if they come, they just take a few glances and leave in a hurry.
——They were busy making trouble and helping the people trapped in the hunting world to ask the consciousness department for an explanation.
In this case, she, the NPC, is not very conspicuous.
It just makes the audience sigh occasionally that this NPC lives a stable life.
444: "...Master, it's so chaotic outside, everyone is fighting each other."
Bai Zhi said calmly, "Isn't this what they intended? Otherwise, why would they create a hunting world?"
The hunting world itself is a chaotic fight.
She just added fuel to the fire, making the fight even more intense.
444 couldn't help but shudder. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Master, how are we going to get out then?"
The original owner's wish must have been to leave the world of consciousness.
Bai Zhi's lazy voice was a bit hoarse, making 444 feel that her non-existent ears were a little itchy. It listened to her softly say in such a charming voice -
"Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't there thousands of people accompanying me? I'll wait for them to find a way to ask me out."
She couldn't get out, so all the players fighting outside had to accompany her!
Liu Sun was like a trapped beast, constantly grabbing his hair, his whole body showing anxiety.
Zhou Ming, who had almost been sentenced to death, sat aside with a dazed expression.
Liu Sun: "How is it? Still can't operate it?!"
Zhao Ping'an, sweating profusely and with dark circles under his eyes, shook his head, looking helpless.
Chen Gang also looked very serious. From his expression, it was clear that he couldn't do it either.
Three days.
This time the situation got out of control and lasted for three days.
Liu Sun asked this question almost every minute during these three days, but the answer he got was no every time.
"What the hell is going on?! Wasn't it fine last time? Why isn't it fine this time?" Liu Sun roared. He grabbed his hair and pulled handfuls of it out.
However, at this moment he didn't care at all and was still caught up in his own anxiety.
For the past three days, the entire internet has been searching for answers, especially those whose loved ones are in the hunting world. They have watched their loved ones die multiple times in there, and watched their loved ones shout - I want to get out! I want to leave!
How could they possibly accept this?
They use various methods to force the consciousness department to respond and force them to cancel reincarnation.
Three days later, the fighting in the hunting world became more intense, and it had reached the point where people were in a panic.
The audience has even begun to demand that Hunt World be ended immediately and all contestants be sent out.
However, Liu Sun and the others were all pretending to be dead!
They dare not explain, and they have no way to explain!
So they were looking forward to the next moment when the hunting world would return to normal, so they could continue to change the rules of the hunting world. After the changes were made, they could still make amends.
Now, they don’t dare to confront them with a hunting world that has gotten out of control!
Did he dare tell them that the hunting world was out of control?
Did he dare to tell them that there was no way to release the person?
They can only hide and hope -
Maybe it will be fine in the next moment?
Liu Sun and others have been holding on to this expectation, guarding the office of Hunting World and avoiding explaining to the outside world.
However, today we have clearly reached the limit of escape.
There are countless people outside shouting loudly -
"Liu Sun! Zhou Ming! Come out!"
"Give us an explanation, you piece of trash!"
"Please end the hunting world immediately! Please bring the contestants out immediately."
"Awareness Department! Hunting the World! Please explain it to us!"
"Garbage Awareness Department, Garbage Hunting World, you are not human!!"
"Stop hunting the world!"
"Stop hunting the world!"
"Stop hunting the world!"
…
The noises kept coming one after another. Liu Sun and the others did not dare to approach the window. They knew without even looking what a huge crowd there was outside.
Whether it was letting NPCs participate in the rankings or secretly having someone kill Bei Baizhi, they didn't want things to get out of hand and just wanted to quietly calm things down.
However--
The development of the matter was obviously not what they expected. The situation has now become even bigger than if they had directly announced that NPC Bei Baizhi was the wrong contestant!
If I had known this would happen... I would have just been honest from the beginning!
They made so much trouble, but it only made things worse and more difficult to handle.
If they hadn't been allowed to encircle and suppress Bei Baizhi, she wouldn't have granted him eternal life. If Zhou Ming hadn't been so anxious to kill her, he wouldn't have ordered the points for hunting players to be increased twentyfold...
Then, everything wouldn't have ended up like this.
However, having come this far, they can no longer turn back.
Liu Sun covered his ears, not daring to listen to the shouting outside. Zhou Ming was sweating profusely and his body was shaking slightly.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside, as if someone had come and said something. Then, after a moment of silence, the citizens shouted even louder.
"Stop hunting the world! Give us an explanation!"
"Stop hunting the world!"
"Give us an explanation!"
