Inventory of the heavens: start to shock from shining Tiga

Chapter 865 The Shining!

["Sorrento! What are you doing! Do you know how much our stock price has dropped just now!?" A major shareholder almost shouted angrily: "I really want to consider Parsifal's idea, or else You’re fired!”

Sorrento resisted the urge to curse, feeling that he was in trouble and couldn't express it.

Although he had just hinted that the board of directors wanted to solve some problems offline, he was not talking about such a clumsy method!

Although the situation was very different from the original timeline, Sorrento knew that in the original timeline, he probably thought that although Parsifal was the first recipient of the key, he was essentially a poor boy. That’s all, the influence is limited.

Back then, in the first 20 to 30 years of this century, there were many cases where the causes of death of well-known people were controversial, but the results were basically unresolved. The reason was that in that country, the chaebols The giant did not declare that it had taken control of that country in name, but it was truly powerful!

Although IOI is still far away from this level, for a kid who has just become famous, it can be said that there is no need to worry about the consequences.

But things are different now. The truth that would have been buried in the dust has been completely exposed!

Everyone doesn't have a good impression of IOI in the first place, but because IOI really has the technical reserves, can manufacture peripherals such as motion sensing suits, and has almost a monopoly in the market, they can tolerate their existence.

Now that we know that IOI actually committed the scandal of offline attacks, IOI's stock price has plummeted before players even started to make any comments.

Although the stock price itself is just a game of capital, this game is too important, so important that the top people who are traders also reprimanded Sorrento because of this situation.

Sorrento was dissatisfied because the board of directors had previously acquiesced to his idea!

The rough processing method in the video essentially has nothing to do with him at all!

That's what happened in another timeline!

In reality, my relationship with Parsifal is even pretty good!

"Why do you pretend to know so much about pop culture? A person who really likes games can't even remember the password and needs to write it down and stick it on the side?!" Another director was also questioning: "If you don't understand , then be a frank person, you have been in society for so long, and now you are a very important figure in IOI, you don’t even know that frankness is more important than concealment?”

Suppressing his anger, Sorrento said: "Relax, guys, although it is a little out of control, but I believe in our public relations team, they can get everything back on track."

"It's best to do this!" said a director: "Otherwise we will really consider whether you are suitable for this position!"]

This attack is not only a turning point in the entire story, but also a turning point in Wade's life.

Originally, he couldn't understand Artemis' hatred, but now... they have become the same person.

But before Wade's voice message was sent, a man with a fierce tattoo on his face grabbed his neck and covered Wade's nose with gauze soaked in some kind of medicine.

After a brief period of darkness, the first time Wade regained consciousness, before he had time to look at his surroundings, he heard a familiar voice: "My people are a little cautious, I'm sorry."

"What did you say?" Wade asked.

The woman sitting nearby said: "My people are a little cautious, I'm sorry."

Wade heard the woman's voice clearly now and said in disbelief: "Artemis?!"

"My real name is Samantha, but you can also call me Artemis." Artemis, covering half of her face with long hair, pointed in a certain direction: "The bathroom is over there, you Pack it up. Welcome to the Resistance, Wade."

Wade, who had just recovered from the shock, did not rest, but followed Samantha to the rooftop.

There are many green plants here, blowing by the breeze, showing a rare vitality in this era.

Looking at the strange-looking building in the distance, Wade said: "If that is the IOI headquarters...then isn't my home over there? It turns out that the distance between us is actually so close..."

"Whether we are separated by a wall or thousands of miles apart, there is actually no difference in the oasis." Samantha said.

The breeze just lifted her hair covering the right side of her face, revealing a large birthmark.

Wade now understood why he said he loved her before on the gravity-free dance floor, but Artemis said he was naive.

Because this birthmark on her face is enough to make many people lose their illusions about her.

But Wade didn't care about the birthmark. Instead, he bluntly said that he was not disappointed in her at all because of the birthmark.

It's just a birthmark, what's there to be afraid of?

["Actually, this female Kratos is really good," Sakata Gintoki said: "The face shape is normal and the facial features are not bad. If there is no birthmark, she can be called a beauty. Even if there is a birthmark...it will be different when the lights are turned off. Of?"

Shinpachi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "Black silk... Hehe... Black silk..."

"Female Kratos?" Granny Denshi took out a puff of cigarette: "Isn't it inappropriate to describe a girl like this?"

Kagura said: "But it's really similar! It's just that the mark on Kratos's face is too regular, like a tattoo, but Samantha's is more like a birthmark."

"Speaking of which, what age is this? Everything has really been invested in the oasis, and there is no scientific research power in reality?" Grandma Denshi couldn't help but said: "Is the scar problem of mere birthmarks really so difficult to solve? It is obviously virtual Real-life technology is already so powerful, wouldn’t it be very profitable to study some extended technologies for beauty?”

Catherine said: "How can I say that the industrial structure of this world is incomprehensible? Obviously the profits of the beauty industry are not low at all, but they are all aimed at the virtual reality industry... Now, if nothing else, the entire industry Only social game companies and IOI are left, and other industries have also fallen into a state of malaise... If this continues, even if there is an oasis that allows people to escape reality, it won't be long before the real world will enter real chaos! "

"At that time, there are only two choices," Sakata Gintoki said: "Either everyone can just die like this, or there is a technology that can abandon the body, completely enter the oasis and never come out! This technology may even have already If it exists, Halliday is the first to take advantage of it, and he moves himself into the oasis!"

Shinpachi said: "In this case, Halliday is really the god in the oasis! Maybe this is an insurance method? After all, although he has a set of screening criteria designed by himself, so that the final easter egg falls into the hands of qualified people, But in fact, there is no absolute certainty in this matter. If the wrong person gets the easter egg due to an accident, perhaps it is Halliday who appears as an insurance policy to prevent unexpected people from turning the oasis into a mess!"      But it seems that this should not be the case now," Sakata Gintoki said: "After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the Oasis and reality will be reversed, and the real world management power is no longer decided by Anok or the Easter egg winner. It’s a matter of concern to all the worlds, and at most Anok still has a manager’s seat.”

Shinpachi asked: "Then should they change their character image? After all, when the world turns around, I'm afraid they will have to live like this for the rest of their lives!"

"If the player's avatar comes with some abilities of the primitive race, such as superpowers and the like, it's okay, but if it only has a skin and some basic physical fitness, it's a big loss!" He shook his head, Sakata Gintoki said: "Of course, there is another possibility, that is, to directly use the image of a real person. What the real person looks like will be what it will look like at that time. In this case, like Samantha, even if the medical condition is real Even if it’s limited, you can still get treatment!”

Nodding, Shinpachi said: "In that time, you will be able to change from a beauty with birthmarks to a beauty without birthmarks!"

"It's a pity that it has nothing to do with us, otherwise the powerful mother-in-law can also become a beautiful woman!" Sakata Gintoki laughed.

A smoke ring blew into Sakata Gintoki's face, and Granny Denshi said: "Xiao Gin, have you forgotten that I am here? Didn't you sleep well last night and your mind is not clear?"

Looking at the frozen Sakata Gintoki, Granny Toshi said: "You don't know... I was a famous beauty when I was young!"]

The result of this interview was good. Samantha could truly feel Wade's inner transformation. After understanding that he had grown up, she no longer rejected him.

Therefore, although it was broad daylight, the lonely man and the widow still had a charming atmosphere under the background of the atmosphere.

Just when Wade's lips trembled and he wanted to kiss, Samantha said, "We have forgotten what it feels like to be outside the oasis."

After a brief daze, Samantha suddenly thought of something: "I'm going! I figured it out! I know how to solve the puzzle! I know the true meaning of the second clue!"

Quickly running to the universal treadmill, Samantha put on the body-sensing suit and said to Wade: "We just thought about its literal meaning. The literal meaning is indeed very meaningful. It led us to the part you mentioned. video, but the real core is its metaphorical meaning!”

"The 'step not taken', the step Halliday did not take, is talking about Kira!" Samantha said.

Wade was still a little confused at this time: "Yes, uh... does it mean that he feels that Kira ruined his relationship with Morrow?"

"Of course not!" Samantha said: "Halliday was madly in love with her and even had the opportunity to kiss her!"

Wade continued: "But he didn't take that step."

"Yes, we are going there!" Samantha said: "To the place where he has never taken that step! The place where they dated!"

Soon, Parsifal, who was online, called three other friends and came to the archives with Aiqi, Dadong, Xiu, and Xiu.

At this time, the lights in the archives were not turned on very much, and there was no one else in the venue. However, the director seemed to know that they were coming, waiting for the five people in the hall illuminated by lightning outside the window.

"Hey, curator, we have solved the second clue, and the second level is here!" Parsifal said: "Hallidi has archived all the movies he has watched here, and the date of watching the movie is here. The times and times are all recorded. Director, can you show us the records from November 2025 to 11, 23? This is the week when he and Kira dated!"

Without saying anything, the curator used his authority to pull down the densely packed film and video tapes from the ceiling.

The blue light emitted from his finger screened out the movies within the target date, and the curator asked several people to search for suitable movies without saying a word.

Some of the movies here are very bizarre and obviously not suitable for watching on a date.

But some romance movies don’t seem to correspond to the descriptions in the clues.

In the end, Parsifal determined that the movie Halliday watched that night was The Shining based on the sentence "The Creator hates what he has created"!

A movie adapted from a horror novel that the original author himself didn't like!

["It feels similar to your Earth Library!" Zuo Shotaro said: "It's just that the Earth Library is arranged according to your thoughts, with countless bookshelves automatically arranged, but Halliday's film records are arranged by a single move. , the things you need will fall from the sky. They are all very handsome!"

Terui Ryu said: "However, the Earth Library is more practical. After all, it can record almost everything that happens on the earth. Its size and practicality are far beyond that of some movies and videos."

Philip smiled and said: "But the Earth Library has a fatal flaw, that is, it is really just a library, only a text carrier for books... But the Halliday Archives is different. Since he can give surveillance videos to After scanning, all the three-dimensional details are constructed, which means that the movie is completely possible! With advanced AI to perfect the details and blind spots, people can experience the movie immersively! Just imagine, a horror movie, just on the screen It's scary enough to be outside, but if you can be there..."

"The Shining..." Asukiko Narumi swallowed: "I remember this movie was super scary..."

Terui Ryu stood calmly in front of Narumi Asukiko: "Don't worry, I'm here."

"I really don't know what you are afraid of?" Zuo Shotaro said with disdain: "All fear comes from insufficient strength. When you have Kakarot's strength, you will still be afraid of the immersive movie of The Shining ? Even if there is really something mysterious, I still have to be afraid that you will blow up the entire planet!"

Narumi Asukiko glared: "It's easy to say! This is a world-famous horror movie! Who is not afraid? Even if you are a Kamen Rider, you must be instinctively afraid!"

Zuo Shotaro snorted: "I'm a real tough guy. Even if I'm not a Kamen Rider, I won't be afraid. What's more, as a Kamen Rider, I still have super fighting power! What kind of ghost? Let's see if you can bite me first. Knight kick!"]
