"You mean, now I'm the only one in Vina City who isn't infected?"
The prince was filled with complex emotions, unsure whether to be happy or sad. He had become the sole "heir" of the city of Vina, but he also had virtually no "kindred spirits" left.
At least, thankfully, Nazar is saved.
The consciousness of the city of Vina is on their side.
Eve stood perfectly still on the screen and nodded to the prince: "Some A-level citizens, after being infected, have been hiding very well to avoid being destroyed. Only after they have occupied a large enough number have they launched a group attack on other normal citizens and quickly taken over the vast majority of positions. In order to prevent people in the outer city from being infected as well, I quickly issued a lockdown order."
She briefly recounted what had happened.
Eve is ultimately just an artificial intelligence that needs technology to provide a platform to move. The outer city is relatively less technologically advanced, or rather, the advanced technology is not for use by lower-class citizens.
Therefore, it is relatively more difficult for Eve to monitor the outer city area.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice, and a clever AI can't do anything without electronic media. She has done her best in managing the outer city area.
"No wonder... I was wondering why, since the infected had already taken over the inner city, they locked it down instead of letting the other infected go out and infect more people. It turns out it was Eve..."
The worm suddenly realized something. He had always felt something was strange. At first, he thought the infection situation in the inner city was not serious, but after discovering the severity, he was even more confused. Now, hearing Eve's words and adding the most crucial link to the puzzle, the cause and effect of the contradiction suddenly made sense.
Eve remained unchanged, her mechanical voice devoid of emotion as she said, "I will certainly fulfill your request."
"Then, could you help us hack the surveillance cameras?"
"Then why don't you help me create an environment?"
Prince and Yin Zhu said in unison, the former looking at Yin Zhu with some doubt, while the latter was full of confidence: "Let me reintroduce myself, my superpower is to create rules, but I need some environment to set the mood."
Yin Zhu is currently unable to write the rules independently.
However, with the presence of rules within the instance, she can achieve a kind of "pseudo-rules" situation.
This inspiration comes from the previous instance, where the Mirror Ghost controlled the Jiayuan Community.
The power of the rules in the Cyber Myth dungeon is largely concentrated on Eve, but she is just an artificial intelligence and has no idea how much power she has. It's perfect to lend it to Yin Zhu.
Yin Zhu said that it's impossible to defeat infected people head-on, so it's better to separate infected people from healthy people directly.
Yin Zhu also said that it's not enough to just not see it; you can use methods such as splashing paint or sprinkling flour to make the invisible visible. It also needs to be inaccessible so as to avoid bumping into the invisible wall while walking on the street.
And so, the scene that Nazar later witnessed occurred.
1. Infected people can only see other infected people, and healthy people can only see healthy people.
2. Those who cannot see them cannot touch them.
"So you wrote a few more rules because you felt there were too many branching paths in the Hidden Pavilion and you thought you'd get lost?"
Naza was speechless when he recalled the rules on the second note. Who would have thought that such bizarre rules were created for such a ridiculous reason?
3. There is only one road. When you see a fork in the road, please follow the principle of men on the left and women on the right.
Yin Zhu nodded: "Is there something wrong?"
"What about the part about darkness later on?"
Naza remembered why he had entered the room: out of fear of the dangers in the dark corridor, he had randomly chosen a room with the lights on.
4. Darkness in the hallway is dangerous. When the lights are off, find a well-lit room as soon as possible.
5. There is no such thing as eternal light or darkness.
Yin Zhu laughed: "That's not written for us, it's written for those who are infected, but we still need to follow it."
"So what is the danger in the darkness?"
"Ah... I don't know..." Yin Zhu smiled in a slightly smug way. "I just wrote it down. As for the specific dangers, you should ask Eve, not me. At least, after you saw that rule, you sensed the danger, didn't you?"
In another "world," in a place where the cameras can't reach.
The captain looked down the busy corridor, but couldn't spot the person who had run out: "Damn it, can that girl teleport? Check the security footage!"
"Team... Captain..."
A trembling voice called out as the patrolman approached: "Something's wrong, Captain! The door's gone! And there's a strange note stuck on the first floor!"
He nervously handed the note to the captain, which contained exactly the same information as what Nazar had seen.
"【The darkness in the hallway is dangerous. When the lights go out, please find a well-lit room as soon as possible.】 Huh? Who's playing a prank?"
The captain feigned composure, read it aloud dismissively, and casually handed it to the person next to him:
What did Eve say?
The captain knew he couldn't panic. If he did, these guys would only panic more. He was an A-level citizen, a quasi-god, and there was nothing to be afraid of!
The people who checked the surveillance footage have returned, their faces ashen.
“Captain, Eve said… Eve said everything is normal here… The girl in the video disappeared after leaving the house, and she hasn’t appeared anywhere else.”
Everything is normal?
Nobody would believe that everything about her is normal!
Just as the patrol team at Shenyin Tower was still confused, the lights on the third floor flickered twice, as if they were about to go out.
"Captain, that note said it's dangerous in the dark..."
"Ignore him! Someone's definitely playing tricks!"
The captain spoke lightly, but his hand tightened on his weapon: "There are so many of us, no matter how dangerous it is, what can a little girl like her do to us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the corridor lights suddenly went out.
The originally dim room suddenly seemed much brighter, and the woman inside cowered, looking at the patrol team members outside, afraid that something might happen next.
The captain remained alert for several seconds, but there seemed to be nothing in the darkness.
Phew, it really was just a charade.
He was about to speak when another teammate's voice cut him off: "Ah—don't touch me! Ah!!!!!"
The screams seemed to be a signal; the next second, people in the other corridors rushed one after another into the room with the lights on, afraid that if they were too slow, they would be snatched away by the monster in the darkness.
The captain's expression changed several times before he finally followed the others into the room.
"This place should be safe now, right?"
One team member whispered to the others, hoping to get some reassuring answers.
"I think so... Captain?"
The person closest to the door was the patrol team leader. He was staring at his wrist with a serious expression. In the dim light, he could barely see that he felt someone tug at his wrist, and now there was a ring of purplish-blue pinch marks on his wrist.
Who knows what would have happened if he had been a few steps slower?
