Initially, the staff responsible for maintaining Pei Wu's gaming pod noticed that the red malfunction indicator light on the pod Pei Wu was lying in remained constantly lit. The team tried to troubleshoot it but to no avail, so they contacted Wei Guangmo.
Wei Guangmo and Pei Wu are the developers of 'fully immersive games', and they are the most knowledgeable about this technology.
Upon receiving the news, Guard Guangmo checked the game pod where Pei Wu was lying. After the equipment was connected, he found no fault in the game pod. If there was any problem, it was that the game system bound to Pei Wu had become unbound.
The game system unbinding wasn't a big deal, but Wei Guangmo tried to rebind Pei Wu to the game system, but failed several times.
After Wei Guangmo's repeated attempts to rebind Pei Wu to the system failed, he planned to terminate Pei Wu's game, only to find that the game could not be terminated.
Looking at the dialog box that wouldn't disappear on the game pod's LCD screen.
Wei Guangmo was extremely uneasy, and his palms were almost immediately sweating. After a moment, he calmed himself down and had his staff check all the game pods that were in use. However, only Pei Wu had a problem.
The game pod enhances the gaming experience by controlling the five senses. If this process cannot be stopped, it means that Pei Wu will remain unconscious in the game pod, not even knowing when she will wake up.
Wei Guangmo stayed by Pei Wu's game pod for days and nights but couldn't change the situation. He didn't know if something had happened to Pei Wu in the game.
After much deliberation, he decided to lie down in the game pod and search for Pei Wu in the game.
One gaming pod can only accommodate one person, but two gaming pods can be bound together through system debugging. This allows the user to replicate the game background and time of the other gaming pod and travel to the same time as the owner in the bound gaming pod.
Wei Guangmo didn't have many friends. He came from a wealthy family and was the only son in his family, so he was extremely arrogant.
Having achieved early success, he was somewhat arrogant, and he could count the number of friends he truly connected with on one hand. Pei Wu was the only one among them with whom he could both talk and work for many years. Wei Guangmo was aloof, but he was also genuinely sincere towards his friends.
Wei Guangmo, after lying in the gaming pod, woke up in a dark basement.
At first, he didn't know he was in a basement. His room was exquisitely decorated and fully equipped with all the necessities of life. However, he discovered that his exquisite room had no windows, and he couldn't even leave the room because the door was locked.
Moreover, he was injured, and even the simple act of turning over in bed caused him excruciating dull pain all over his body.
His body was covered in numerous wounds, both old and new, and he was extremely thin. Even his face was no longer his original appearance, and his name, 'Wei Guangmo,' had become a forbidden word. He hadn't set his appearance before entering the game; by default, it should have been his own. Furthermore, he had never set any forbidden words in the game.
Why can't I even say my own name out loud?
He didn't know how long he had been in that basement, but judging from the frequency of three meals a day, it had been at least a month.
During this time, a woman would come every few days.
This woman would hit him, and was even quite persistent in making him beg her.
As long as I soften my stance and say something like that, she'll back down, and if she's in a good mood, even the food she brings the next day will be better.
However, after hearing his seemingly conciliatory words, the woman was delighted and wanted to do...that thing with him. Wei Guangmo was naturally unwilling. As long as Wei Guangmo resisted with all his might, the woman would not really force him. However, she would not come back for several days after leaving.
I learned from that woman that his body was called Yan Chang.
This woman could hit Yan Chang, but she never actually touched him, because there was still that red mark on Yan Chang's collarbone.
During the month or so that Wei Guangmo was inside Yan Chang's body, he waited for an opportunity to escape.
He would eat well to conserve his energy and would not deliberately provoke the woman, so that he could move around like a normal person.
He discovered that as long as he kept quiet and spoke less, the woman wouldn't hit him, and would even have meals with him.
He successfully caught the name 'Pei Wu' during a phone call.
Because Pei Wu was no longer bound to the game system in the game pod, he bound his own game pod's game system to Pei Wu's game pod. Therefore, whenever the "Miss Pei" mentioned by this woman came to the research institute, he would sense it and know that this "Miss Pei" was Pei Wu.
In the past month or so, he also figured out that his location was similar to the research building on the 'Bei Shang'.
Actually, it wouldn't be difficult for him to reset the combination lock on his door, but escaping under heavy surveillance would require careful planning.
Today is the best time for him to escape.
As a tech enthusiast, Wei Guangmo could easily disable the surveillance system in a short time after thoroughly understanding the building, but timing his meeting with Pei Wu was a bit of a mystery.
Based on Wei Guangmo's experience, he deduced that someone must have bound Pei Wu's game pod to his own, or even programmed something to prevent Pei Wu's game pod from restarting or shutting down. Only by finding this person could...
This person, like them, comes from the real world...
Only after relaxing did Wei Guangmo realize he was a little tired, and he fell asleep in the back seat without even realizing it.
