Chapter 96
Several people were still observing the surrounding architectural ornaments, trying to get more information from them.
Soon, a tall figure in white was seen walking in the corridor, with several layers of white sleeves swaying. This was a habit Rong Zhou had developed after wearing long-sleeved ancient costumes for a long time.
This group of people looked elegant and imposing in their white clothes.
What was a little abrupt was the black cat in his hand. The action of pinching the black cat's neck was not gentle. The black cat just meowed, and the man in white was not moved at all.
Rong Zhou didn't expect that his clone would be so stupid. As the main body, he completely suppressed the clone. The damage caused by the clone was just a scratch on him. Are you kidding? If he couldn't be forced to return to the main body, would he still let him wander around outside?
Thinking about this, he shook the black cat in his hand again. He couldn't force it to return. His ideas were different, but it was still easy to suppress it by force. As long as he controlled its range of movement, there was no problem in turning it into a kitten.
The black cat Lu Daju’s psychological activities: “…Meow meow meow meow (swearing).” We are still one, and you are so cruel to yourself. You are really worthy of being like that.
Professor Ai thought a lot when he saw this scene. It seemed that the man was indeed not a human being. The thing in his hand was probably a black cat transformed. The identity of this person was still being determined. Seeing such a good-looking human being in such a place was not normal no matter how you thought about it. Was he also a monster?
The look they gave him was strange, and Rong Zhou could probably guess what they were thinking: "Please take a seat. Don't worry, everyone. You can return to your world when daybreak comes."
This is a greenhouse with a large space and plenty of rest and entertainment facilities. It doesn't seem so monotonous when used to receive outsiders.
"Do you know the outside world?" Professor Ai thought that people in this strange environment were like NPCs in the game, living in their place and unaware of the outside world. Who knew that the other party's words would surprise them.
"I rescued a lady a few days ago and learned some news about the outside world from her." Rong Zhou sat down and put the struggling little black cat on his legs, stroking it from time to time. The feeling was good. The black cat gradually started to make gurgling sounds, and its blue and yellow eyes narrowed slightly. It lay lazily on the main body's legs. Anyway, it couldn't escape even if it wanted to, so it wouldn't hurt to enjoy it for a while.
Rong Zhou's answer was completely honest, leaving Professor Ai puzzled. Did he have ulterior motives or was he truly indifferent? Would an NPC, knowing they were just an NPC in a game, have any extraneous thoughts? The answer was yes.
"My surname is Ai, and my given name is Hongming. May I know your surname, sir?" I was so shocked by the other party's question that I forgot to introduce myself.
"Your surname is Rong, and your given name is Zhou."
"Mr. Rong, you may also know that the world has undergone some changes, and many people have died because of these changes. This place is one of them. The mortality rate for those who accidentally enter here is as high as 90%." No matter how many twists and turns he prepared, it would be better to speak directly. Professor Ai threw away the several drafts he had prepared earlier. "We also learned from that lady that some changes have taken place in Ghost Town, so we came here specifically to investigate the situation and visit you, sir."
The black cat on his lap opened its eyes and glanced at Ai Hongliang in confusion. Rong Zhou stroked the black cat from time to time. In fact, he was a little conflicted. According to his own style of doing things, the help that happened in front of him had no effect on him. He didn't like to cause trouble for himself. After all, he was just a passerby.
When parting with his apprentice, the apprentice hoped that he would change his attitude towards life. Even if he was wandering in every world, he should live seriously instead of drifting away from the world. Even the inner differentiation of himself seemed dissatisfied with his attitude towards life.
Rong Zhou sighed. He really didn't like trouble. "We are outsiders too. If we can help you, we would be happy to do so."
Professor Ai felt a little embarrassed, especially after hearing that sigh. Even if he wasn't thick-skinned in this situation, he would be letting his country down. Incidents were happening more and more frequently, and they were still confused. No matter how powerful a country was, it was like hitting a ball of cotton. "Since the beginning of recorded horror games, the time it takes to develop has become shorter and shorter, and the frequency is also increasing. Now, even determining the location of incidents is random. We are only guessing why these things happen, and the countermeasures we have come up with are completely useless. Since you can live safely in a ghost town, do you know why ghost towns exist?"
Ai Hongliang's eyes are sincere. Knowing where it came from and why it was formed, it is very likely that he can deduce various possibilities and the formation of other events.
This was something Rong Zhou really knew, information he had gained from the energy he absorbed. He roughly organized his words: "If your world is a human body, then the ghost town is the mutated cells in that body. It's a part of your world. It was too small to be noticed before and didn't cause any impact. It constantly absorbed energy from your world to strengthen itself. It wasn't until your world underwent large-scale changes that it gained sufficient energy to affect you. Absorption and devouring are its instincts, which has caused the current phenomenon."
Professor Ai began to think about what great changes had taken place in the world. If calculated by time, the last thing that affected the world's changes was: "The eruption of the deepest trench volcano?" That trench volcano eruption, along with tsunamis and earthquakes, affected the surrounding countries. It is not known whether it was because of the weather affected by the volcanic eruption, the biological plants on the planet were exceptionally lush.
Rong Zhou shrugged. "That was a change that happened in your world. I don't know. Anyway, there was a lot of energy at the time, which promoted the rapid changes of these things absorbed into your world, forming these horror games you mentioned."
There was a moment of silence. Professor Ai was still thinking, and he had probably formed his own idea. Those things were tumors that were attached to the world and would eventually become a cancer that would destroy the world. The only way to treat them was to remove them. "It's too difficult. I don't know where to start. Even identifying them is difficult."
"Well, do you have a solution?"
"Maybe, I have some ideas..." Professor Ai's method is also very simple. All the fears come from insufficient firepower. He doesn't believe that even if hundreds of missiles are fired, no matter how big the tumor is, it cannot be eliminated. The only thing he can't do is to diagnose where the tumor is.
Professor Ai hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Buzz!——!" Suddenly it started to tremble. The frequency of the trembling was not high, but the shaking could be felt obviously.
"Is...is there an earthquake?" The three special personnel on guard had to hold on to the wall to steady themselves.
This was the first time this happened, and Rong Zhou didn't react to the sudden change. The black cat felt the fingers leaving his back, and quickly jumped off his legs, disappearing like a black shadow.
"Hey." Rong Zhou's hands were empty and before he could reach out to grab the black cat, it had already run away without a trace.
The shaking continues.
