It was unknown which of the two phrases had jabbed at the White Coat, but his expression distorted slightly: “All of this happened because of all of you!”

Zhou Wenyan raised an eyebrow, “Oh?” aWkeA3

White Coat gnashed his teeth, “If it weren’t for the likes of you appearing, our world wouldn’t have become like this!”

Originally, their world was steady and peaceful, and White Coat was an ordinary researcher.

They did not know when it started, but strange people started appearing in their world in quick succession. They had no identity, they appeared out of nothingness, and they called themselves “players”.

Whenever the players appeared, strange incidents would always happen around them, like murder cases, a chain of car accidents, closed room murders, so on and so forth, which were incidents that could not be explained with science. ROhcNB

Those players would stay here for a period of time. Those with poor luck would die immediately and become a corpse that no one would claim, but if they had good luck, they would leave after a period of time, disappearing into thin air, just like how they arrived.

The players might have left, but those unscientific things remained. They seized the city as their territory, killing each and every original citizen who accidentally entered in a cruel manner.

The White Coat tugged on his shirt collar as he said coldly. “We don’t know how much manpower we wasted before we managed to contain those things.”

Humans were not the opponents of ghosts. XtxwVz

Despite that, White Coat led a group of researchers to research a method that could trap these ghosts, and they contained them inside this base. For the sake of ensuring that the players did not destroy the peace that they had attained after much difficulty, they put a few plans into motion, like making the players fall into deep sleep the moment they entered this world. If they could not find a way to break through, they would never wake up.

As long as the players did not leave the base, no ghost would make its appearance outside.

White Coat looked like he had abandoned the idea of resisting. “That’s all I know.”

Shen Dongqing clapped his hands to support the scene, before he said with some doubt: “Given all that you did, there shouldn’t be new ghosts coming into existence, but why are there so many in the base…” kXt2sl

Just as the last syllable landed, the surrounding dark shadows twisted like a wave, with figures extricating themselves from the main one by one, encircling the White Coat.

Those figures with indiscernible features had their heads lowered as they stretched their ashen-pale and thinly frail hands, pointing their fingers at White Coat.

White Coat’s complexion went white.

Yes, they had initially built this base to protect the original citizens, but as they deeply immersed themselves in the research and gradually gained control of the ghosts’ strength, everything started to change. Txlnv7

They could not reconcile with the fact that they were guarding these treasures without using them. After a brief dispute, White Coat was pushed into the position of the base’s director, and he used the base’s capability to research even more things.

For instance, controlling this entire world. Or perhaps, taking the initiative to invite players into this world, and conduct a few tests.

Wu Jia sighed with emotion: “That would explain why no players have ever left this game premises.”

Owing to their harmless intentions – initially, at least – it was understandable why the players would fall in headfirst. HLgGB8

And judging from how accustomed the White Coat was to this process, the number of players who had fallen into their hands was definitely a terrifying number.

White Coat: “Do you still have any questions?”

The Short-haired Woman said in a small voice: “Ask how we can leave this game premise quickly.”

Their final goal was not destroying the base and rescuing all the players, but leaving this game premises. czKBVF

When White Coat heard the Short-haired Woman’s utterance, he laughed coldly, “Not a single player has ever escaped from this place…” He gave the people present a sweeping glance, “And all of you will be no different.”

Shen Dongqing shook his head. “Not the same.”

White Coat: “How are you any different?”

Shen Dongqing clenched his fists, saying: “We can beat you up, were the others capable of it?” CgWelA

White Coat’s entire body stiffened, “Are you threatening me?”

Shen Dongqing pushed his hands together, “I’m just stating the truth.”

White Coat became more ruffian-like, “I really don’t know how you can leave.”

The NPCs inside every game would never tell the players how they could clear the game directly; either because they were unaware, or they were being restricted by the game’s rules and regulations. nuwYvG

However, most players did not have the ability to threaten the NPCs to make them tell them the clearance method, the game only stipulated such rules to deal with the people who did not play the game properly.

That’s right, it was stipulated to deal with people like Shen Dongqing.

Shen Dongqing scratched his head, not knowing what to do. He looked towards Zhou Wenyan, asking for assistance.

Instead of asking for the clearance method, he only asked an inconsequential question: “The ‘strongest weapon’ that you previously released, how did it come about?” k qSX3

White Coat swore he never wanted to hear the two words ‘strongest weapon’ ever again, but under Zhou Wenyan’s focused stare, he could only honestly reply: “It slipped in from another world.”

Zhou Wenyan: “Another world?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Realising that this was not a matter of great importance, White Coat spoke bluntly: “I’ve researched a lot of players, and I learnt of the fact that all of you were shuttling through various worlds ceaselessly, which are your game premises. Our world is also a game premise, and the ghost came from another game premise.

“It appeared on the day when the base was built.” cmwU7I

Truth to be told, this world was supposed to be an average game premise with nothing spectacular, and it was only a C-level or D-level at the start.

However, because of White Coat heading a group of researchers towards the discovery of the world’s quintessence, their game obtained the ability to evolve, and through the absorption of players, they managed to become a S-level copy step by step.

All in all, it was quite reasonable.

When the base was completely built, the game automatically triggered an evolution, and perhaps the game lost the controlling rights over premise momentarily, which allowed a NPC from another world to escape to this place. dHtY0M

By the time the game’s upgrade and maintenance was completed, the game discovered this issue, and it made the best of its mistake by immediately arranging the NPC escapee as the world’s BOSS.

White Coat: “I’ve already said everything I know, let me go, will you? We’re all victims of the game, there’s no need to massacre each other…”

Zhou Wenyan did not comment, only saying: “Last question.”

White Coat’s attitude could not be better. “Please ask, please ask.” 2Olddm

Zhou Wenyan: “Is your surname Chen?”

White Coat shook his head. “My surname isn’t Chen.” He pointed at his own chest. There was a name card there.

Zhou Wenyan: “Is there anyone in the base that goes by the surname of Chen?”

The Short-haired Woman mumbled in her heart.

We spent such a long time questioning him, why didn’t we ask for anything useful at all?

In this instance, it no longer stated that it was an empty number, because after it rang three times, the call went through. febG7Q

The player stared at the screen display anxiously.

It was dead silent on the other end of the call. Not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

However, the screen undeniably showed that the call had gone through.

Time passed by the second and minute. k DyEn

Wu Jia was deathly afraid of disturbing the person on the other end, so he mouthed his following words: “What’s going on?”

The Short-haired Woman shook her head, conveying that she did not know either.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Shen Dongqing did not have so many misgivings by comparison; having reached the end of his patience, he picked up the phone directly, he said loudly: “Are you there? Say something.”
