Chapter 163: Pat on the Head to Kill (extra update for orz_wohencai)
Wen Nan, like several other people, was now wrapped up in the "welfare props". Like a small fish egg by the lake, he was hanging on the wall just above the furnace, shaky.
Through the translucent film, Wen Nan raised his head and looked at the huge building directly above him.
A tall building much larger than Optimus Prime came to life and was pressing down on their heads. It stretched out an arm made of reinforced concrete and waved it at them frantically. This scene made everyone panic, but Wen Nan's face was the only one where there was no trace of fear or panic.
He raised his head and looked at the huge body above his head that was in madness. His eyes were deeper and darker than the night at that moment.
He saw Irene's shadow in the building.
Although it was just a building without even a face, let alone an expression, for some reason, Wen Nan felt that he could clearly see Irene's aggrieved eyes and anxious tears in the light strip on the top floor.
From the moment the building started moving, many of Wen Nan's guesses and inferences were confirmed.
There is a problem with this copy.
This problem is too deeply hidden, and the system built into the copy cannot repair itself, so the five main tasks this time are designed as they are now.
Wen Nan boldly guessed that the main quest they got this time was completely different from the one given to the players who had entered this copy before.
The purpose of the series of main quests they have now is no longer to let players experience a love strategy game, but to use the players' hands to help themselves and fix problems.
No wonder Wen Nan always felt that the style of this map was a little weird.
After confirming this, I started over from the beginning and went through this instance again. Suddenly, my thoughts became clear.
The main quest says that Irene is sick. Her private parts are itchy, as if there are a lot of bugs crawling around. The player needs help.
This bug is obviously not a real bug, but should refer to a system bug that appears in this map.
And this bug, of course, is the cause of the disease, hidden in the secret laboratory behind point G, which the system allows players to successfully find through one mission after another.
The cause of the disease was the small piece of metal embedded in the black marker.
That should be a chip.
That secret laboratory is essentially a cluster laboratory. The neatly arranged square metal boxes in the rows of shelves are computing nodes. They are connected underground through wires and control the entire map with the Irene Group headquarters building as the core.
The chip was embedded in the marker pen and connected to the ground with a spiral wire, thus successfully connecting to the core processor interface inside the map system, which in turn had a profound impact on the map in a subtle way.
As for what this impact is...
Wen Nan guessed that it should be possible to forcibly preserve some souls that should not exist in this game world.
That's why Li Shuyi's second personality was unexpectedly preserved, and even sent a message to Wei Junjie who had already left this copy. That's why Yang Jingyuan's soul that should have been destroyed by the furnace was suddenly awakened when she was in the garage before. That's why Guan Ailin was able to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and confide those awakening words to Wen Nan.
This small chip has had a special impact on the characters here, and Guan Ailin is the most special one——
She couldn't bear to attack the players, so she inserted her soul thread into the headquarters building of the Irene Group.
Because of the attraction of the soul thread, Guan Ailin, her soul doll and this building formed a relationship of one soul and three bodies.
It was that chip that gave life to the building, allowing Guan Ailin to remember many memories that should have been forgotten, prompting her to awaken.
This chip that was accidentally inserted into the system cluster server was seen by the game system as the cause of the disease, a bug that needed to be removed to maintain the normal operation of the game. However, in Irene's eyes, it was a panacea that gave her new life.
Now that this good medicine has been completely eliminated from this world, it is completely understandable that she has become manic, anxious, and sad...
Wen Nan stared blankly at the huge creature in the night, his eyes becoming complicated.
Guan Ailin is a woman who is cold on the outside but soft on the inside. Under the appearance of a cold and aloof president, she hides a pure and soft soul.
Similarly, this human-shaped building that looks as daunting as a mountain is actually just an appearance.
Peel off her hard outer shell, and inside, she is just an insecure little girl who is eager to find her own medicine.
If he was facing Guan Ailin's body, Wen Nan would raise his hand and gently rub her hair as he did before, soothing her emotions and telling her not to be afraid, that nothing would happen with him by her side.
But now, facing such a building...
Wen Nan shouted upwards: "Erin! Stop!"
The building couldn't hear it at all.
Gu Jinxing dropped so many flares at the other side from the refresh point, but the other side did not respond at all. The humanoid building simply ignored Wen Nan's weak shouts as if they were a breeze.
Irene...
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wen Nan called the other person's name in his heart. The strong desire to establish a connection with the other person caused the arm hanging by his side to shake slightly twice.
At the same time, the side wing of the building also shook twice.
It’s that soul thread!
Irene's soul puppet, the soul thread wrapped around Wen Nan's wrist, allowed Wen Nan and Guan Irene's one soul and three bodies to establish a connection at the same time.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan held his breath, concentrated his mind, and tried to raise his left hand.
Following his thoughts, the side wing podium slowly rose up, and with the rumbling sound of the building colliding, the arm made of reinforced concrete slowly stroked the roof of the building.
As if he was comforting a frightened kitten, Wen Nan's technique was skillful. He accurately found the point that could make Irene calm down the fastest and kneaded it gently.
The building's arm, which was originally smashing violently towards the ground, now hovered in mid-air.
Slowly turning the light strip on the top floor and looking at the uncontrollable arm that was comforting itself, the building became confused.
“Woo…”
A short sound came from the building, still like the whistling of the wind blowing through the valley, but Wen Nan felt as if he heard his own name.
"It's me," he continued to soothe her. "Erin, trust me, it's going to be okay. Stop it."
Boom——
There was a loud bang.
Many of the “tentacles” that supported the building fell to the ground at the same time. The building, which was originally suspended in the air, slammed back into the ground, raising billowing smoke and dust again.
