Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

Later, by chance, he discovered a string of code. Through that code, he studied it, recruited people, and eventually produced a semi-finished version of "Black Douluo".

In a sense, he is the most indispensable person in this company.

The investor, the investor's relative (who is also another person in charge), and the other employees...

None of them are as important as him.

The source code was his work, which is why he was able to tell Poseidon how to modify it.

"Isn't it about time? So much time has passed, Poseidon should have finished making changes by now. So, the two worlds should be connected by now. This time, Lu Ma should be sucked in directly, right?"

He glanced at the time on his phone and murmured to himself.

Half an hour had passed since his last instruction.

Based on his deduced speed of Poseidon, this time would be more than enough.

He got up, intending to leave this ceremonial place and go home.

But just as he opened the door to his room, he suddenly felt something cool and refreshing touch his forehead.

Instinctively, he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Your plan has failed.

He heard such a voice.

Chapter 229 has a problem.

The visitor was none other than Poseidon.

Of course, Poseidon didn't come alone.

According to Sima Xi's memory, she also contacted quite a few people.

After the person in charge sent her the final instructions, she had several project team members cooperate with her and then changed the person in charge's original intention of "opening the channel".

Ultimately, the solution was to close and lock the passageway.

The whole process was not smooth, and Poseidon's success was largely due to luck.

After all, it wouldn't make sense if something so bizarre and unbelievable were simply cracked.

Therefore, it can only be explained by luck.

Although Poseidon hadn't thought of this, everyone on the project team thought so.

After making the changes, Poseidon used Sima Xi's experience of catching the previous person in charge to find the location of this person in charge. Following Sima Xi's experience, he called for help and then blocked the door.

Looking at the somewhat haggard and frightened appearance of the person in front of her, Poseidon knew that this matter was probably over.

Most outsiders who knew about the game were truly gone, and no one would try to harm Lu Ma anymore.

Even better, the connection was lost.

Now, if there really is any medium through which Earth Horse can contact that world, it can only be Earth Horse's computer.

And this...

It's not difficult to solve.

Through her memories, Poseidon knew that Sima Xi had done something similar before, directly blocking computers and restricting Lu Ma's movements.

If Sima Xi can do it, then so can she. Therefore, it can also be said that Lu Ma will never be able to access that world again.

That's what she thought.

Now, Poseidon was somewhat pleased.

All the troublesome things are gone.

She was also going to see someone she hadn't seen in a long time.

After leaving the building, Poseidon checked his location and then headed towards the Jinghua City apartment.

-

noon.

More than half a day, less than a day, has passed since Lu Ma failed to log in to the game.

Lu Ma slowly woke up from the bed.

I played other games until very late the night before and just woke up now.

The first thing he did upon waking up was, of course, to check if Dolphin Head had sent him any new messages.

After all, he considered himself a responsible tester.

And the other party gave him money.

To his disappointment, he did not receive any news.

The chat interface with Dolphin Head is still empty.

In contrast, Lu Ma's heart was heavy.

The sense of unease grew stronger.

The day before, you could explain it away by saying the other person was sleeping and didn't see it, but what about now?

The other person can't be sleeping more soundly than him.

This is very abnormal.

"Could it be... that something really has happened?"

He muttered to himself.

At this moment, he had to admit that something had most likely happened to the other party.

However, since it concerned his economic interests, he could not ignore it.

"Since things have come to this, let's contact Sima Xi first. Although she's acting like she has nothing to do with this game, it's not impossible—what if this game was also made by her company that she kept secret from me? Wouldn't that mean she's recently gotten into trouble?"

Lu Ma thought for a moment and then switched the chat interface to Sima Xi's side.

Although Sima Xi generally doesn't tell him about her identity, and she believes Lu Ma doesn't know her identity, including her status as the company boss and landlady...

But this doesn't mean that Lu Ma really didn't know.

Not saying anything doesn't mean you don't know.

Just because you don't think others know doesn't mean others don't know.

In fact, Lu Ma knew roughly what was going on; he could have known it completely, but he had no interest in doing so.

Logically speaking, since Lu Ma knew this, he shouldn't have accepted Sima Xi's act of charity.

In fact, he could have done that.

However, he also knew that if he did that, it would probably cause even more trouble.

To make things easier for both of them, after learning that Sima Xi wouldn't give up, he backed down and gave up the struggle.

Sima Xi is hiding many secrets—things that Lu Ma has no interest in knowing, but which are still considered secrets to Lu Ma.

Therefore, Lu Ma now suspects Sima Xi.

He had a vague feeling that this game was somehow related to Sima Xi.

And Sima Xi and games...

Then we can probably only look for it at the company level.

Having confirmed this idea, Lu Ma typed the following sentence on his phone:

"Let's talk outside. I have something I want to tell you."

Meeting someone in person is the best way to judge their character.

Under normal circumstances, when a person is in trouble, their aura will change.

When you meet them, you can feel the change in their aura the most.

There is absolutely no need to worry about the other party intentionally using plugins or other means to cover up voice or video calls.

This is Lu Ma's plan.

Send, then wait.

Lu Ma put down his phone, sat up, and tried to clear his head.

About two minutes later, he picked up his phone.

The other party has already replied.

Lu Ma was first delighted, then stunned.

The good news is that the other person didn't completely ignore his messages like Dolphin Head did. This means that the other person's situation isn't so bad that they don't even have time to reply to his messages.

The bad news is that the content of the message is incorrect.

"We'll be there soon."

This is the other party's reply.

He hasn't given me the address yet...

Moreover, because they don't meet often, and each meeting takes place in a different location, there's no situation where they can default to a particular address.

But now, judging from the other party's tone, it's clear that this is where he lives.

This is very wrong.

Lu Ma put his phone back on the bed, his expression becoming even more serious.

It seems...

He actually guessed right.

Sima Xi has also recently run into trouble.

The problems with the game led him to discover that at least two people were at fault.

So, the problem lies with the game.
