Chapter 363 Back to Reality (14) - The Rescue Process

Li Dong left after An Ran entered the room, deliberately leaving the two of them to talk alone.

"You..." Ning Shu didn't know what to say for a moment, after all, she and An Ran were not actually very familiar with each other.

An Ran acted quite naturally, as if they had known each other for a long time.

He extended his right hand as if to introduce himself: "My name is An Ran, and I am a technician in the game of adversity."

After learning his identity, Ning Shu was somewhat stunned. She mechanically shook hands with him and introduced herself: "My name is Ning Shu."

"Please sit down first. You must have many questions. You can ask them now."

Ning Shu understood that Li Dong must have made some preparations to arrange for An Ran to meet her, so she decided to listen to what he had to say first.

Why did you help me in the game?

"I've helped other people before, but unfortunately... when it came to you, it was just a coincidence. Let me tell you slowly."

You're not the first person to leave the game; in fact, you're in the third batch of people to join.

Of the two groups of players before you, some actually died, while others were covered by us and left the game.

In short, the vacant positions need to be filled, and you are one of the third batch of people to be filled.

In the game, you probably know that going to unknown areas might offer a way to leave the game.

Hearing this, Ning Shu nodded. When An Ran first met her in the game, she told her not to go to unknown areas.

He clearly knew about this, and bringing it up now suggests that the methods used in the unknown region might be flawed.

"It is indeed possible to leave the game in the unknown area, but once they leave the game, they will face certain death."

She had actually guessed correctly. Ning Shu didn't reply, waiting for him to continue.

"To be honest, it's my fault. The exit on the unknown area was set up by me earlier."

At the time, I used other methods to leak this information to skilled players, and some of them did indeed manage to leave successfully.

We faked their deaths and moved them; now they are members of our resistance.

Ning Shu recalled the news Feng Sheng had mentioned, in which some people had indeed gone to unknown areas and never returned, which led to various speculations.

Some players believe they left the game, while others believe they died.

Judging from what An Ran said, it seems that the method in the early stages did save some players, but there must have been problems later on.

“If you use the same method too often, it will be easy to be discovered. The Roy aliens are not stupid. They discovered that there is a bug in this game.”

Because of the existence of the resistance, they were very suspicious, and later when players left the game, we were no longer able to tamper with it.

Players who are too reckless upon waking up will be discovered, and there are generally two consequences.

Players who did not resist will have their memories erased and be re-entered into the game after being captured.

Those who fiercely resisted, or even injured others, would be directly eliminated.

Why don't you guess which outcome is more common?

“Many people were killed,” Ning Shu answered without hesitation.

To leave the game, you must meet a strict requirement—your overall ability must reach C10, which is the maximum level for a player.

Players like this have experienced countless dungeons in the game.

When faced with danger outside the game, the first instinct is to fight back, which stems from the player's self-preservation instinct.

An Ran was not surprised at all: "That's right. My purpose in setting this condition was to select outstanding talents for the resistance, but I never expected it to become their death warrant."

I considered closing that exit, but unfortunately the Loy aliens thought it was a good way for them to eliminate humans with ulterior motives and excessive abilities.

Because of this exit, one of our members was automatically exposed and became my scapegoat.

An Ran's expression turned somewhat indignant as she spoke, and Ning Shu felt terrible listening to her.

"I can no longer access that exit, and I haven't been in contact with the players inside for the foreseeable future."

On one occasion, Si Zhong had to leave the game.

While everyone on Roy was busy currying favor with him, I wrote a piece of code and sent it to you. As long as you fall asleep, it will become part of your dreams.

I'm not sure if you'll believe me, but I'll do my best to tell you the facts.

Ning Shu suddenly remembered something, but she wasn't sure, so she could only ask An Ran for confirmation: "Do you know what Si Zhong was doing in the game back then?"

An Ran guessed what she wanted to ask and answered directly, "He was in the Magic Academy instance at the time."

really!

So he was about to leave the instance and happened to save himself in the process?

Si Zhong was so thoughtful. Even though he was the one who was leaving, he put on a melodramatic show in front of her to win her favor.

Ning Shu was initially very moved, but now she was left with only a sense of indescribable emotion.

"Now that you're being watched so closely, how do you plan to rescue me... and Ji Shi?"

An Ran fell silent. Ning Shu wondered, was this question so difficult to answer?

An Ran sighed, "If it weren't for Si Zhong's interference, we would have rescued you long ago."

Is Si Zhong involved here? Ning Shu was puzzled.

"Actually, after I sent you the message, the Loy aliens didn't suspect anything, but I didn't expect the Soya aliens to become suspicious."

Because the game of adversity had already been given to Si Zhong as a gift before he entered the game.

Si Zhong only entered the game after it had been checked and found to be working properly.

His brother, Si Chen, also sent a group of Soya aliens to take over the subsequent operations.

They update the game data periodically, giving them full access to all game data.

Although the code that sent you the message has been destroyed, they discovered the abnormal data fluctuations caused by your knowledge of how to leave the game.

They were worried that you would pose a threat to the Soya aliens, especially that you would harm Si Zhong, so they decided to eliminate you because of the abnormal data.

"Or perhaps we deliberately leaked the news that you were going to be transported to Si Zhong, and he stopped us in time to save you; otherwise, you would have died before you even left the game."

Ning Shu was amazed to learn that there was such a story behind it, and her emotions were truly fluctuating.

"What will happen after I wake up..."

An Ran truthfully replied, "We don't know what happened after that. As for Ji Shi, he was just lucky."

He left the game before you, and the timing was just before the Soya aliens suddenly needed to update. We can't use the same trick again, so we have to take a risky approach.

Seeing that Ji Shi was doing well, Ning Shu realized that the risky move had clearly been effective.

"After Ji Shi left the game, we delayed the time when his data became abnormal and used this time difference to extract his brain."

His brain was secretly transferred away, while his body remained in the game pod awaiting the arrival of the Loy aliens to transport and burn it.

After his brain was transferred, his physical body was reconstructed, a one-to-one replica of his original physique, resulting in the person he is today.
