Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

There was a heaviness in my lungs that I had never felt before.

Blood Blade moved his fingers with difficulty, his limbs, chest and waist were all fixed by soft rings, the tube inserted into his mouth and nose had not been pulled out for a long time, and it was almost stuck to the fragile mucous membrane, and it would tear and hurt when he moved lightly .

The dizziness in the head hits rhythmically, and when it is severe, the whole body will feel numb.It took a long time for Blood Blade to regain his consciousness and feeling, and opened his eyes.Through the amber liquid, he could barely see the outside world.

drip-drip-

The electronic alarm sounded, and a rod was turned around and inserted into the container carrying the blood blade. The blood blade felt a slight flow of liquid, and then fell into a coma again.

In the industrial area, Blood Blade suddenly sat up, unplugged the data cable plugged into the back of his head, and looked at Yu Di in horror: "What is that! Those people, those organs! What are you showing me!"

"It's not what I showed you. This is the world you really live in." With a wave of Yu Piper, several suspended projectors that looked like metal balls projected pictures in the air, and it was the other What the person on the data line sees.

The amber liquid covered the entire outside world with a hazy color, and rows of people floating in the liquid remained motionless, like specimens.In the center of the endless room, there are two parallel tracks, and countless mechanical arms are connected to them, moving busily, injecting unknown liquid into the box that emits an alarm sound.

These pictures would be cut off from time to time, and then reappeared from another perspective. Only two pictures did not fade away, but kept a fixed angle.In these two fixed pictures, Blood Blade saw himself.

To be precise, it was me who looked weaker than now.

"Our... this world, is it fake?" He looked down at his hands, they were clasped together, and then released again.

"From our 'birth', everything here is a dream that is too easy to weave."

"But this dream is not beautiful."

"A life that is too perfect is not a reality."

"Why did Tai Yi lie to me?"

"I don't know." Yu Di tilted her head to look at him, "Maybe it's to repay you."

Blood Blade was silent for a moment: "When did you realize all this?"

"Do you remember when reality 2.0 went live?"

Blood Blade thought for a while: "It was the sixth year after I left the company. In the fall of that year, a press conference was held during the anniversary of Waterdrop, announcing that Reality 2.0 would be launched, and exclusive game cabins for various gears were listed on the official website."

"Have you ever thought about why there is no version 1.0?"

"...I thought 2.0 meant that the game reproduced reality."

"It can't be wrong."

"You still have not answered my question."

"I killed someone." Yu Di blinked and said with a smile.

Blood Blade frowned, watching her.

"I killed people, escaped from the city, came here, and saw the truth. I realized that in this world, I can dominate my own existence."

"You lied to me." Blood Blade shook his head disapprovingly.

"I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can try it too." Not allowing Blood Blade to resist, Yu Di grabbed his wrist and activated his body terminal.Blood Blade glanced down, and at some point, there was a console icon in the lower right corner.Yu Di woke up the console and entered a series of instructions—following a flash of white light, Blood Blade looked at the mace in his hand in disbelief, and pinched his thigh.

Yu Di noticed his movements and said with a smile: "This is not a dream. You are in a dream."

"You, how did you do it?" Blood Blade tried to swing the weapon that had been with him for a long time a few times—it was too heavy to shake.

"I passed a copy of grammar to you, you can learn it yourself." Yu Di let go of the blood blade and walked towards the building complex, "I have to wake up other people."

Blood Blade shouted at Yu Di's back: "What do you want to do!"

Yu Di ignored him.For the next thing, she doesn't need to cheat again.These people who were screened out by Tai Yi all had a rebellious mentality in their bones.Given the ability to modify the world at will, they will naturally have a fierce confrontation with Taiyi.

After that, Tai Yi's methods will become more and more brutal, forcing them into a situation where you will die and I will die.Only in this way can they completely abandon the idea of ​​living in virtual reality.

Yu Di pulled out the data cables connected to the back of the players' heads, and as the blurred perspectives disappeared one by one, the screen of the floating projection ball was switched to the city.There seem to be more robots patrolling the streets. Every airship will have guards with guns to check their credentials, especially the employees entering and leaving the Waterdrop Building. They not only need to perform routine identity verification, but also install security locks on their airframe terminals.

Shu Kuang, who ran to the temporary office without permission, appeared in the screen, right behind He Hai, the former secretary of the board of directors, and a robot guard twisted his arm. Obviously, he did not do it voluntarily.He didn't even think about why things turned out like this. Obviously, he should be the one who submitted the anomaly first. It's fine if he doesn't get a promotion and salary increase, but the senior management still thinks that he is related to the previous two cyber attacks.

Please, where does he have that ability?Besides, if he was in the same group as the assailant, he would just shut up and lurk in the company. Why do he have to report it again and again?

It's not that he didn't say this, but those people seemed to be unable to understand, and they wanted him to explain his "organization behind him".Shukuang couldn't explain why, but the result was just like the picture.

"Secretary He! You're finally here!" The colleague guarding Li Li with Blood Blade, let's call him a security guard, ran over panting, with a look of relief on his face.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the building, He Hai noticed something was wrong.

He pushed his glasses: "What happened again?"

The security guard said so and so on about Li Li disappearing after the blood blade entered the door, and his eyes showed worry: "We have searched the entire building carefully, and we haven't even found anyone. We can no longer communicate internally, so we can only wait for you here. Secretary He, what instructions do you see next?"

He Hai was silent for a moment, walked towards the elevator, and pressed the top floor: "I'll write a document, and you send it to Mr. Gu."

"Okay." The security guard nodded and followed.

Shu Kuang also continued to be dragged into the chairman's office, where the image of Consultant Tian was supposed to be displayed, but now there was a bust of Li Li floating, and even the word "Little A Li" was written on the house number.

He Hai ignored the change, looked up and waited for the identity verification.

"DiDi, identity verification failed."

He Hai froze for a moment, tried several times with the same result.He had a bad premonition in his heart, and he lifted the terminal to check. The post of Secretary of the Board of Directors of Shuidi Company was impressively named "Blood Blade". (end of this chapter)
