Chapter 406 Advance
In the chaotic darkness, nine glowing figures were slowly descending.

There are numerous black flakes of snow floating around. These black snows can weaken and block light, greatly reducing visibility, and at the same time play a role in shielding electromagnetic wave communications.

As soon as he landed, among the human figures, a player with the ID of [Binary Tree], who was a Level 28 member of the Whale Song Organization, virtualized his hands and inserted them into the ground, releasing a green data stream that swept across the entire space to detect the surrounding environment.

But the strange thing is that the scanning technology, which can theoretically detect more than ten kilometers like a submarine radar, only spreads out a few hundred meters before shrinking and dissipating.

The black snow all around was gathering and forming slowly but actually quickly, creating a complex and huge building complex from nothing.

The building was quickly painted, and a few seconds later, nine people were standing in a boiler room. The ceiling and walls were covered with intricate metal pipes.

".Just as expected. The core area of ​​the secret realm here is an amorphous space that will automatically change with the appearance of observers."

Binary Tree spoke in a serious tone. He was wearing a plaid shirt, jeans, and a backpack, a standard programmer outfit. The only two peculiar things about him were the large VR glasses on his head and the large electronic watch on his wrist.

"It's similar to the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter, but without the Room of Requirement attribute."

The person who took over the conversation was an English gentleman with a fine beard, wearing a windbreaker and holding a cane.

He is the high-level mage of the bell tower, his ID is [Nicholas], Lv27.

Next to Nicola, the vice president of the Robot War Thunder Guild, [Roar of the Blood Lion], Lv29, a red-haired and bearded man, turned around and asked, "Ms. Mikazuki, what is the result of the prophecy? Is there any change?"

The person he was questioning was a weak girl with white hair and purple eyes.

The latter belongs to the Navigator's Guild, with the ID [Mikael], Lv25, and possesses powerful abilities of prophecy, words, and divination.

A crack slowly appeared between Mikazuki's eyebrows, and an eyeball grew out of it, rotating and looking around.

After a moment, she shook her head and said softly, "According to the prediction, our risk factor has not changed."

"The risk factor remains the same, that's enough. Where to go next?"

Level 27 [Red Spider] of the Suit Thugs Guild spoke coldly. He looked very similar to Keanu Reeves, wearing a neat suit, sunglasses, long hair, his left hand replaced with a metal prosthesis, and he held a pistol in each hand.

It's completely unclear whether he is cosplaying Neo from "The Matrix", John Wick from "John Wick", or Johnny Silver from "Cyberpunk".

"Please give me some time."

Mikazuki took out a stack of old tarot cards from his backpack, squatted on the ground, and slowly began to tell fortunes.

The core area of ​​the secret realm is likely to be an active hidden room, so it is not too cautious. Naturally, you have to do divination first to predict good or bad luck.

The prediction process was time-consuming and boring. A handsome young man with a flowing and exaggerated hairstyle suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, have you seen the new Harry Potter movie?"

The speaker is a superhuman from the Crown Casino Guild, ID: Card King, Lv27. He is very powerful, but has a bad reputation in the player forum.

Nicola, who is British, was confused. "What? When will the new Harry Potter movie be released?"

The King of Cards said as a matter of course: "The Asylum's Harry Potter series."

Is that a serious movie?! It can't be some cliché movie where Harry Potter changes gender to Harry Potter and has a melodramatic love affair with Snape and Ron, right?
Nicholas' eye twitched. The Asylum Films was famous for its copycat blockbusters, having produced a series of copycat movies such as "Atlantic Rim", "Transformers", and "Pirates of Malbec". One of the few famous originals that still had some reputation was the "Sharknado" series.

As for "Harry Potter and the Greatest Show", we have to thank the Whale Song Guild - the AI ​​video creation platform they launched earlier was so easy to use that all kinds of low-cost copycat movies popped up like mushrooms after a rain.

Digging for gold in shit, there are actually some pretty good movies and TV series.

When this was mentioned, the King of Cards said enthusiastically: "I really like Let the Bullets Fly, Natsume's Book of Enemies, Medieval Evangelion, Dream Space, and Hello, Li Lianying."

Everyone present except Mikazuki was speechless.

No wonder almost all the players who have temporarily partnered with the King of Cards on the forum have a bad impression of him. This guy is too talkative.

'When they are scattered, they are like stars in the sky; when they are gathered, they may not be like a fire. When there are too many people, it is difficult to lead a team.'

Whale Song's Binary Tree rubbed his aching temple. The average strength of the nine people present was around Lv27, and they were all the backbone of their respective guilds.

If they work together, they can destroy the military power of a small European country in a matter of minutes. However, they lack trust in each other and their personalities are not compatible.

Thinking of this, Binary Tree looked at the three people in the corner.

Andre of the Knights Templar, Chang Sunyao of the World Nuclear House, and White Horse Tombstone as a lone wolf.

These three, plus Binary Tree himself, as well as Blood Lion's Roar, Nikolai, Crescent Moon, Starscream, and Gambit.

According to Mikazuki's previous prediction, these ten people were the best combination as the first advance exploration team.
Entering the core of the secret realm first and looking for the hidden location can effectively increase the chance of survival of all players, including themselves.
and many more!

As the King of Cards muttered to himself, Binary Tree suddenly looked up and looked at the nine figures except himself.

There are nine players in total, when did one more person appear? !
The VR glasses on his head scanned quickly, but what made him break out in a cold sweat was that no matter the scanning results of the VR glasses, the video records, or his brain memory, none of them could distinguish the extra person.

The King of Cards, Crescent Moon, Starscream
Red Spider, Nicholas, White Horse Tombstone.
Binary Tree's mind raced as he performed tens of thousands of calculations in his head. There were clearly ten people present, but his brain just couldn't find the extra one.

There is no doubt that I have suffered from cognitive hazards and memetic contamination, and the most severe memetic contamination.

Others, even the highest-level Blood Lion Roar and White Horse Tombstone, didn't even notice anything unusual.

Binary Tree no longer hesitated. His arms turned into green data and spread out instantly, forming barriers that trapped the other nine people except himself.

"What are you doing?!"

Chang Sunyao was startled and yelled. This behavior could be considered an attack on teammates.

"Don't resist. There's an extra person among us. I'm going to force it out now."

Binary Tree yelled, and the barrier formed by the green data stream gradually compressed to fit the player's body shape.

From the perspective of Chang Sunyao and other players, they could hear repeated system notification sounds.
【You have a new friend request】

【You have a new friend request】

The system prompt sound was dense and noisy, with the "you" at the beginning connected into a line, like the crackling sound of a computer crashing.

This skill is the secret technique of Whale Song, named [Cyber ​​Scroll·Denial of Service]. Its essence is to forcibly increase the thinking speed of the user, that is, Binary Tree's own brain, and send a large number of friend requests to other players in a short period of time.

Before the other party can block you, cause a short period of mental disturbance - when two masters fight, half a second of distraction is enough to be fatal.

All the players had uncomfortable expressions on their faces, except for a tall and thin woman in black who had an indifferent expression.

found it!
Binary Tree's pupils shrank as it locked onto the figure. It put its palms together and controlled the compression of the green data barrier in an effort to crush the figure.

"Ugh"

The tall and thin woman sighed softly, and actually blew up the green barrier with one hand, and flashed in front of the binary tree.

Looking down from above, she held down Binary Tree's head with her pale hand and whispered softly, "You shouldn't have come."

Binary Tree's eyes turned white, and he couldn't press the finger to activate the watch device no matter what he did.

He couldn't even self-destruct or withdraw from the killing field.

The other players instantly realized what was happening, broke through the green data barrier, and used various means to attack the tall and thin woman.

Red Spider fired two pistols in quick succession, Card King threw out a stack of cards, Blood Lion Roar took out a thick and long rocket launcher from behind, and the third eye between Mikazuki's eyebrows opened to the limit, shedding tears of blood.
Eight players with an average level of 27 attacked at the same time, but the tall and thin woman in black just waved her hand.

Pistol bullets turned into smoke, playing cards turned into butterflies, and missiles turned into thousands of roses.

All attacks vanished into thin air, and players fell one by one, their consciousness gradually becoming blurred and interrupted.

The strongest ones, Blood Lion Roar and White Horse Tombstone, lasted the longest. Before their consciousness faded, they could only hear Binary Tree, under the control of the tall and thin woman, picking up the intercom.
In a calm tone that was totally inconsistent with his absent-minded expression, he said to his companions outside the secret realm: "We have arrived at the secret realm. It is relatively safe here. Send in the second advance team."
