"What accident?" Su Yi asked.
Su Yi heard a sharp sound, and soon a bright light appeared in front of his eyes.
The invisible man behind him did not answer, but cut a small hole in the black plastic bag on his head.
Su Yi saw that at this moment, the railway track in his field of vision was no longer straight, but had a curve that meandered all the way to the horizon. The green grass on both sides of the track bent in the wind.
Gazing further into the distance, the towering Sky Tower seemed to be floating like a giant, and it seemed to be closer than before.
"I restored this railway track in my dream. The code is exactly the same as that in the outside world."
The invisible man still did not answer the content of the accident, but said:
"The only difference is that dream symbols are superimposed at the beginning and end of the code array, isolating you from other people. Without my consent, you cannot wake up."
Su Yi didn't say anything. He, as a hostage, was well aware of his current situation without the invisible man's reminder.
"That accident..." Su Yi asked carefully, "Is there anything special about it?"
"It's a bit complicated to say." The invisible man thought for a moment and said:
"Since you are following Judas' team, you should know that this train is a shuttle bus specially set up by our Thriller. It departs from a hidden station, passes through the entire Monster City, and goes to the center of the Evil Capital."
Su Yi nodded. The central conference hall in the center of the Evil City was where all the Thrillers gathered for meetings. At the same time, the core of the [Thriller Script Killing] system was also there. Once damaged, the entire virtual world would collapse.
Invisible Man: "So the security measures of this train are very strong. It is impossible for it to derail, crash, or be damaged in any way. Even if the passengers do not get on the train at the designated station, they will not be able to touch the train by stretching out their hands beside the tracks. They will pass through it directly.
"I have checked the code array. The code array of this train is completely closed. There is no port for interacting with the external code. You cannot get on the train unless you are at a specific location. You cannot attack at any time. It is impossible to cause any damage to the train. It is equivalent to a ghost train. You can see it but you can't touch it.
"Over the years, there has never been any accident with this ghost train."
The invisible man paused for a moment and said:
"Never. These four words are very heavy. Since you are an accomplice of the traitor Judas, I think you have a clear understanding of the nature of the world of [Thriller Script Killing]. There is a time difference here. One minute in the real world is equivalent to one year here.
"Since the establishment of [Thriller Script Killing], several years have passed in the real world. According to the time difference, hundreds of years of history have passed here. In such a long period of time, this train has never had any accidents.
"Only once, that accident."
Su Yi remained silent after hearing this. This time his curiosity was really aroused.
His brain couldn't help but start to enter the analysis mode. He now understood the strangeness of the "train accident" and needed to collect more information.
"What kind of accident was it?" Su Yi asked.
Invisible Man: "Did someone get killed?"
Su Yi frowned: "How did it happen?"
“It’s very simple.”
The invisible man shrugged and said nonchalantly:
"That person was so depressed that he threw himself on the railway tracks and committed suicide. The train passed by and crushed him to death."
The moment Su Yi heard these words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left chest.
It didn't make any sense. His heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a pair of hands, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He didn't understand what was wrong with him and thought it was an old heart problem. But the pain was not the pathological cramping pain caused by myocardial spasm. It was a kind of... indescribable suffocating pain.
It came up like water, flooding over the chest, mouth and nose. There was no escape, like drowning and the despair was powerless to change.
Su Yi frowned in pain, and took a deep breath quietly, so as not to let the invisible man notice his emotional changes. After calming down, he spoke and pointed out the doubts:
"But you just said that this train has a special code. It's a ghost train."
Unless you get on or off the train at a station, it is impossible for people to touch the train. Even if you lie on the tracks, the ghost train will only pass through the player's code and will not run over anyone. How could there be any deaths?
The invisible man laughed crazily: "Isn't this the interesting part? Besides, the fields on both sides of the railway track on this section of the road passing through the Sky Tower are restricted areas.
"According to the rules, players are not allowed to enter the event. The reason why it has become a restricted area is unknown, but as long as a player tries to approach the wilderness here, a warning window will pop up immediately. If you don't obey, you will be killed immediately by the system.
"I couldn't even get close to the fields, let alone cross them and lie down on the railroad tracks to commit suicide."
Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "How do we determine that it was suicide by lying on the railway tracks? The player who had the accident might not have been lying on the railway tracks in advance. Is it possible that the passenger who was already on the train jumped out of the window and was hit?"
Invisible Man: "Impossible, I told you, the ghost train code is very secure. It is impossible to get on or off the train if you are not at the station. Even if you jump out of the window, the passenger's code will be bounced back immediately.
"To take a step back, even if a player is able to evade the restricted area supervision of the system through some magical method and cross the field to the railroad track, his code should not be able to access the train code.
"A high-speed train would pass through his body like a ghost and continue moving forward. It would be impossible for it to hit him."
"But the accident still happened." The invisible man grinned wildly, "If it were you, wouldn't you be curious?"
Su Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "After the accident, did you find any bodies or anything like that?"
"No, not at all."
The invisible man shook his head and excitedly recounted this mysterious accident. Su Yi couldn't see him, but he felt that when he shook his head, the air around him flowed.
"At that time, the train conductor was the first to notice something strange. He felt that the wheels had hit something and the train seemed to have run over something.
"Since the entire world of [Horror Script Murder] is made up of codes, the train conductor did not need to get off the train to check the situation. He directly started a code check for the entire train, and finally detected a [blood] code reaction at the position of a certain wheel.
"The code was already in tatters, with only one or two characters left. The conductor was unable to analyze it, so he reported it to the backend. After system analysis, it was found that the code characters of [blood] belonged to [players]. They were not [props], [animals], or [corpses], but [living players].
"After we at Thriller learned of this, we quickly conducted a thorough search of the entire track.
"But we found nothing. There was no body on the track. We also didn't find anything unusual in the fields on either side of the track or in the Sky Tower further away. There was no sign of any player code passing by.
"The only clue [blood] code only has one or two characters left. Apart from knowing that this is [the player's] blood, there is no way to analyze the player's ID or any other information.
"In the end, nothing could be found out about this accident, so we had to let it go."
The invisible man paused for a second, then said meaningfully:
"A ghostly player suddenly appears on the railroad tracks like a ghost, then gets hit by a ghost train and finally disappears like a ghost, with all traces evaporated. Don't you think... this is very interesting?"
This mysterious ghost incident is indeed strange.
But Su Yi thought, the invisible man Thriller is neither a detective nor a criminal policeman, and he would not do anything without profit. The reason why he paid so much attention to this accident was definitely not for the purpose of finding the truth and giving justice to the ghost player who was hit and killed, but for some other purpose.
"There are still many strange unsolved mysteries in this world." Su Yi spoke softly, his voice muffled by the black plastic bag, so small that it sounded weak and vulnerable, but his tone remained as calm as ever:
"You are interested in this matter alone. There must be other reasons, right?"
"Bingo!"
The invisible man snapped his fingers: "You know backdoor, right?"
During the software programming stage, many programmers will leave themselves a backdoor so that they can modify defects in the program at any time.
With this backdoor, one can bypass all security measures, directly gain access to the entire program system, and have the freedom to modify it at will. This is a supreme privilege, but also a fatal crisis loophole.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat. Everything in [Horror Script Killing] is made up of code. So, did the programmer who originally built this virtual world also secretly leave behind this kind of backdoor?
"What do you think is the truth behind the ghost accident? Is it because that player opened the backdoor?" Su Yi asked.
Invisible Man: "It's a reasonable guess. This is not the real world. There is a very simple explanation for such a strange accident. That is, the code underwent some unknown changes at that moment, and all traces of the operation were cleared after that, so the system background could not find anything.
"To achieve this, the most likely scenario is that the backdoor was opened. If my guess is correct, there really was a player who found the backdoor and used it to do something that we Thrillers have no way of knowing, then who do you think this player is most likely to be?"
The answer is self-evident:
The traitor Judas who dared to kill Thriller openly today.
Su Yi was silent.
As Judas himself who was kidnapped, he was in a somewhat delicate mood.
"Are you sure..." Su Yi asked, "Does the backdoor really exist in [Thriller Script Killing]?"
Programmers will indeed set up a backdoor during the programming stage to facilitate modification operations, but it is generally deleted before the software program is released, otherwise the hidden dangers are too great.
Su Yi noticed the gaze of the invisible man behind him, as if he was observing him and considering something.
The invisible man is scanning the hostage he has captured and assessing his strength.
He needs to judge whether this hostage has the strength to defeat him, or is he so weak that he can control him?
This has to do with whether he will tell the truth to the hostage or lie. After all, he never underestimates his enemies.
Soon, the system popped up the result of Su Yi's assessment:
Force level: -
The invisible man was stunned. What level is this? - What level is this?
After loading for a while, the system popped up a rating comment:
I have never seen such a low level of combat power, and I can't find a level that matches it.
Assessment description: His frail body would fall over if the wind blew, and he might faint if his toes hit the foot of the bed. He needs very careful care and protection to stay alive.
“…”
The invisible man was stunned for half a second, then burst into laughter like a pig:
"Hahahaha! You are so funny. No wonder Judas didn't ask you to be his military advisor."
Su Yi:?
The hostage in front of him was too weak, so the invisible man didn't take it seriously at all?, and told Su Yi the truth directly:
"There is a backdoor in [the murder thriller], I'm sure of it.
“When this virtual world was first established, leader 000 was responsible for the financial investment, while 001 was responsible for the technical architecture.
"Oh, I'm talking about the first generation 001. The blond who was killed by you Judas was the trash second generation 001."
As the invisible man spoke, he was happily calculating in his mind that the elf hostage he captured was very weak and could not escape from his grasp at all, but he had a very smart brain, which was just right for him to use.
At the same time, this elf was too weak and had been taken as a sacrifice by Judah. He had joined the traitor Judah's group. Even if he wanted to defect, the Thriller group led by 000 would not be able to accommodate him. There was no place for this weak elf in either camp.
This situation was just right. The Invisible Man decided to take this weak elf as his younger brother. Otherwise, he would have to deal with the two camps of [Leader 000] and [Traitor Judas] alone, which would be a bit tiring.
Since he treats others as his younger brothers, he, as the elder brother, must tell them the actual situation so that the younger brother can help him.
Anyway, this little brother is so weak, if he shows any signs of rebellion, he can just be eliminated, there is nothing to be afraid of, so the invisible man told Su Yi everything without any defense:
"I am a friend of the original 001 in real life. We were both in the same R&D team back then. You know Metaverse, right? We were mainly developing technologies related to the concept of Metaverse."
Su Yi pretended to be dazed as he listened, but he was actually pricking up his ears to be alert. The Invisible Man was one of the very few Thrillers who knew what happened back then and was willing to talk about it. If he missed this opportunity, he might never hear about it again.
"At the beginning, no one knew what they could achieve...
The invisible man said, his voice became a little sad:
"We thought that the best we could do was to achieve the level of holographic gaming, so that we could play games better and more realistically, and then we could release an electronic product that would be popular all over the world and make a fortune!
"But no one expected that the technology we developed would be so terrifying even to us."
