Chapter 75 Please Walk by My Side

Players pop up in special situations...

Even though Shen Youkui was already used to the game's complicated operations, this fading out still left him speechless.

But the plot doesn't allow you to take off the holographic device, interrupt the game and exit the forum.

Kamiya Aoi fell into deep thought at the hint of the special plot.

Generally speaking, in order to increase the player's sense of immersion, the game plot will use the second person in the dialogue.

Before holographic games, because the player's perspective was still a bird's-eye view, there would occasionally be plot PVs or cutscene CGs that provided some plot information that the "protagonist" should not know.

Therefore, players have long been accustomed to such small details in the text and ignore them.

It was only after the release of the holographic game that these details came to life again - after all, it is a first-person perspective, and talking to NPCs is just like communicating with people in real life.

According to this logic, the "protagonist" in the game is basically the player himself, so if the "protagonist" doesn't know, the player should also not know it.

This setup is essentially the same detail as the text in role-playing games before the holographic gaming era.

It's all to increase the sense of immersion.

At least Kamiya Aoi has become completely curious - he also met the boss of the Black Organization in the BE round, but the plot cutscene was just a very ordinary dialogue, which is completely different from now.

The short wait is over, and when the special plot prompt disappears, Shen Youkui returns to the game.

Shen Youkui slowly opened his eyes and looked at the environment he was in. The first thing that caught his eye was the surveillance cameras that were almost everywhere in the room.

Without exception, they were all directed at him.

This is a small, square room of only ten square meters at most. In addition to the camera that Shen Youkui saw at a glance, the wall facing Shen Youkui in the room is also hollowed out and has a huge electronic screen.

The screen is off at this time.

So Shen Youkui could clearly see through the reflection on the screen that he was half lying and half sitting in an instrument that looked like a CT machine.

His hands and feet were not restrained in any unexpected way, and his head was covered with densely packed metal patches. Metal wires of different colors seemed to have pierced through the skull and grew out through the silver hair, baring their fangs and claws.

Everything before him indicated that he had become the subject of some unknown experiment.

"Are you awake?"

The voice came from some hidden speaker device and it didn't sound like it had been transmitted through electronic components, so it was likely that the person speaking was just across the wall from him.

"...I thought," Shen Youkui said. This was not the first time he had seen what was happening, so he looked very calm. "Although you did not abide by our agreement, it was not to the point of completely breaking the deal. Now it seems that I made a wrong judgment."

The accused Bermode stood in another room where the lights were on. Five or six researchers from the organization in white coats were paying close attention to all of Shen Youkui's physical indicators.

Condemnation would not make her feel guilty, but Shen Youkui's unusual calmness would make her feel alert.

After thinking about it, she decided to pass the blame to Gin who was not present at the moment, and at the same time try to find out the source of Kamiya Aoi's abnormal reaction.

"My dear, you can't blame me. Of course I want to abide by the agreement between us, but you can see that Gin's behavior is beyond my control."

The researcher who was monitoring Shen Youkui's condition whispered, "He is very calm... What you said has no effect on him."

Vermouth looked at the silver-haired boy through the one-way visible glass. Kamiyakui had an indifferent expression, but there was always a kind of extremely sexual sharpness lingering between his brows.

"...Just like now, I am the only one who can accompany you here. And he, I am afraid, will go to trouble your friends again."

After the voice fell, the researcher interrupted: "The threshold changes, please pay attention. Please continue--"

It's such a pity to be hindered by friendship.

Vermode sighed secretly, and now that he had mastered the correct method of influencing Shen Youkui, he was no longer on guard.

"Gin doesn't know that guy, and I don't know what he will do. Sometimes I can't even figure out his thoughts. So far, I haven't pretended to be him."

With suggestive words, Vermode tempted Shen Youqiu to imagine for himself what kind of harm his friend might suffer.

Seeing the silver-haired boy's brows gradually furrowed, and the glow of his aloofness seemed to fade away a little bit... that was also very good.

Kamiya Aoi really took Vermode's words to heart.

It was not until this moment that he truly understood the difficulty of completing the achievement in this round of choosing the red side.

Even though it was not his initiative this time, this hidden node plays an irreplaceable role in the plot, so it cannot be avoided.

But the fact is indisputable, Shen Youkui is still trapped in the laboratory.

Being in such a difficult situation, it becomes extremely difficult to even act as a red team, let alone to complete the red team achievements.

But if we can move freely... then we're going back to the development of the BE week!

The third path between accepting the experiment and rejecting it is to destroy it.

However, the experiment itself is a hidden plot line that is very worth exploring... Shen Youkui suddenly felt that as a player, she was really confused by the malice of the game.

The issue of game feedback will be discussed later. The problem that Shen Youkui is facing now is how to open up a fourth path while maintaining the red team identity and experiment.

Sighing, Shen Youkui looked at herself on the electronic screen, "Are you trying to stimulate my emotions? Is this a requirement of the experiment, or is it just your personal bad taste?"

This is his guess.

After all, no matter how fancy the game is, it doesn’t show the specific process of using players as experimental subjects—this is a holographic game.

Shen Youkui had no idea how his casual guess would make Vermode and the researchers on the other side of the wall feel.

Seeing his mood gradually calm down, the researcher seemed to be praising him, "So there really is such a person? I thought you were just making fun of the progress of the experiment."

To the right of this researcher is a computer, with dazzling data and graphs in the background.

The progress bar in the middle is particularly eye-catching.

At this point, its progress is shown as 3%.

Vermouth did not care about the researcher's verbal offense until she discovered that Shen Youkui, a police academy trainee, was using illegal means to deal with certain things.

Until now, Shen Youkui has always given her the surprise of opening a gift box.

Whether it's his seemingly eternal calmness, his ability to think calmly no matter what the situation, his self-interest-based personality, or his seemingly cold and ruthless appearance, like a replica of Gin, yet being bound by friendship.

If it weren't for the fact that this experiment was of vital importance, it would also involve herself.

Perhaps, she would not choose to hand Shen Youkui over to the organization.

The author has something to say:

The break here is not intentional!
