Wen Xiaotong felt an unprecedented chill.

You know, players in the game are just pieces of data, which means that it can directly execute any player!

"Those men in black are the virus. Once we are killed by them, we will not be able to leave this world."

"He single-handedly locked all the players in New Life in a carefully crafted cage. Now the whole world is boiling over what the gourmet has done. His fanatical followers have even caused riots in the outside world. The news is spreading like crazy outside, and the authorities have been alarmed. They are now fully repairing the loopholes."

"This game is completely overshadowed by him. He is now no different from the final boss of this game. Oh, by the way, the final boss of a normal game will not delete the player's save file."

"Then let's..."

"Don't even think about counting on the authorities." The detective suddenly said coldly.

Wen Xiaotong had never seen this kind of expression on a young man's face.

Such absolute distrust.

Wen Xiaotong took a deep breath and calmed down.

"How could he possibly get that kind of item?! How did he collect so much money?"

"He is now..."

The detective had a complicated expression, but he finally told Wen Xiaotong something that shocked her.

"It's the British Prime Minister."

Chapter 403: The Calm Before the Storm

"Huh?! British Prime Minister? Why? Why? No, let alone the British Prime Minister, no matter who it is, it is impossible for anyone to reasonably obtain such a large amount of funds in such a short time in the UK at this time."

"That's why those fans are crazy about him. He is a madman. He compiled personal information about the Prime Minister Manchester in a very short time, mobilized all his connections, and used countless methods to coerce government officials who had leverage over him. He transferred huge amounts of money from banks across the country to different accounts, and finally obtained this large amount of money without anyone noticing."

"If he was just an ordinary player with no common sense, he would never be able to do such a big thing even if he became the prime minister. This is what's so scary about that guy."

"He knew very well that it was impossible to cover up such a big move. Once discovered, his position as prime minister would be in jeopardy. So he simply returned to London and appeared in the government's sight. He carried out activities in the name of inspection. He wanted to use these three days to resolve everything."

"That guy has a terrifying insight into human nature. He has calculated everything. He estimates that we are running around like ants on a hot pot. He is now sitting in a yard enjoying afternoon tea."

"That's why I said you really made a powerful enemy. You could have stayed out of this, Vanessa."

"Don't just say discouraging words Howard, think about what to do first!"

Wen Xiaotong said this as he fired two shots to send away another man in black.

The detective dodged the bullet by leaning sideways, kicked the oncoming man in black to the ground, and then fired two more shots.

More men in black arrived. Compared with the previous batch, their AI was constantly learning and improving. The coordination between them was much closer and their movements were faster.

"Damn, can't they kill them all?"

"Their close combat skills are getting stronger and stronger. I can hardly see their movements. We can't drag it on here. We must break through." The detective said with a serious look.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up slightly.

"Chinese Kung Fu? Vanessa, they know Wing Chun."

Wen Xiaotong is going crazy.

Why is there always such weird guys around her?

"You still have the time to talk about this at this time?"

"It's not normal for foreigners to be curious about this. I'm very interested in their culture."

"How can you say you are a foreigner?"

Amid the hail of bullets, the two looked after each other and cooperated with each other to quickly get to the elevator. As the elevator door slowly closed, Wen Xiaotong slowly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall of the car somewhat exhausted.

The detective received a phone call.

"Are you all right over there?"

Mori Lu's voice came from the phone.

Wen Xiaotong snatched the phone away:

"It's all your fault, Luzi! You got me involved in this. Wash your tail and wait for me to touch it. I'll take whatever you say..."

"Hello, hey, hey, my sister is next to me, on the hands-free..." Senlu said hurriedly in a low voice, his eyes constantly looking at the pink-haired ball with black lines on his face.

"Ah, cough cough cough, oh, is that so? Then let's not talk anymore! I'm okay now. I just almost died. No big deal. Hahaha, let's gather together. See you outside to talk!"

Wen Xiaotong felt the chill from the other end of the phone and got goosebumps all over her body, so she quickly hung up the phone.

Wen Xiaotong stuffed the detective's phone back in frustration and paced in the elevator with her arms folded.

The sound of the girl's footsteps echoed again and again in the empty elevator.

Wen Xiaotong glanced at the floor display above and frowned slightly:

"Isn't this elevator here yet? How long has it been?"

She glanced at the young man next to her, only to see that he had opened his eyes at some point, with blue pupils glowing.

"Let's take another route," the detective said suddenly.

"The elevator is full of their people, and...it's no longer safe here."

"Remember to hold your breath."

The next moment, before Wen Xiaotong could react, the detective stomped his feet suddenly, and the baffle under the entire elevator collapsed on the spot. The two of them fell into the darkness at a very fast speed.

The next moment after they did so, the elevator compartment twisted in a strange manner, and the metal wall turned into countless spikes that instantly protruded and pierced the entire elevator. Under that invisible force, the entire elevator compartment was almost roughly "squeezed" into a thorn ball...

While the two were still fleeing, the two girls who had already returned to London noticed something strange in the air.

"Sister, something is wrong."

Senlu quickly stood up, walked to the window and looked at the deserted street, feeling more and more that something was wrong.

It's almost noon now, how could there be no one on the street?

and,

She could feel that many eyes were staring at them.

There was hostility in those eyes.

They were being watched.

Are you a foodie?

Shouldn't,

It's impossible for the other party to get to London so quickly.

Moreover, there were dozens of people hiding in the dark and observing them, scattered and disorganized.

Thinking of this, Senlu suddenly pretended to yawn:

"Ha~ I'm so sleepy, why not take a nap?"

As he spoke, Sen Lu closed the curtains and quickly walked to Li Anxin's side.

"Sister, let's go."

Li Anxin naturally believed in Sen Lu's judgment.

The two girls quickly went downstairs and then left the house through a secret exit in the back alley.

At this moment, on the street in front of the main gate, a player observing the mansion in the dark sneered:

"Haha, those two idiots really have low alertness. They took a nap and didn't realize how many people were watching them."

"Damn that gourmet, this lunatic."

There were two other players near him, and they seemed to be in the same group.

One of the players was looking at the New Life player forum.

On the forum, a post by an anonymous guy was pinned to the top, with tens of thousands of comments under it, almost all of which were venting emotions and denouncing the shameless.

Just because of the content of that post.

: All players in the new life must have known what happened.

: If I don't get what I want within three days, I will use the data deletion item to destroy everything in this world. If you don't want to be annihilated in the data torrent, you know what to do.

Clearly the guy who posted this is a foodie.

This madman who usually looks elegant and gentle has long since taken off all his hypocritical masks and is using all means to show his paranoia and madness to the world.

Chapter 404: The Age of Stagnation: The Pride of Genius

After such a big thing broke out, Mirror City was in an uproar. Even though the Mirror City officials had banned any newspaper from reporting the incident at the first opportunity, it was too late. Public opinion was rife throughout society, and almost everyone pointed the finger at the officials.

At a press conference, an official in charge of the promotion of the "New Life" section of the All-Star Knockout Tournament went on stage nervously.

He is of course aware of the influence of those star players in society.

It is no exaggeration to say that they represent the player community, and they are the backbone of humanity's progress in this world. Without them, humanity would not be able to build glorious towers on the barren land and achieve what it has today.

"Please calm down, this is an unexpected error, we are..."

"You clearly promised to ensure the safety of those players. Is your promise bullshit? You must give us an explanation today! Give an explanation to everyone in Mirror City!"

"Where did they go after they boarded that plane? Where are their real bodies? Why hasn't a single player logged out of their new life until now?"

"Is this a complete conspiracy? What is your purpose? Why do you hide these things from us?"

"Please answer us directly!"

"You were just dragged out here to take the blame! Tell the real person in charge to get out of here!"

"Tell them to get out!!"

The people's angry shouts overwhelmed everything else, and they threw the objects in their hands onto the stage as if to vent their anger. The official finally couldn't stand the pressure and left the stage in embarrassment.

The entire Mirror City was in chaos, and in a secret room underground, huge server units were lined up in hundreds of rows in the computer room. People standing under the computer room looked as small as dust. Seawater poured into this huge computer room, dissipating heat for the units that were generating huge amounts of heat energy every minute and every second. Looking upward, the lights of the indicator lights on the units flickered like scattered sparks under the blue sea.

In the monitoring room outside the computer room, the technicians were like ants on a hot pan, all of them busy and exhausted.

"Where did that damn virus come from? When did it appear? It's obviously never been detected before. What on earth happened? Damn it! Today is my daughter's birthday, and I have to deal with this kind of thing here."

"Preliminary judgment is that this virus is very cunning and was artificially implanted in the early stage of the project. It split itself up and scattered itself in countless code sections, disguised as harmless characters. If I have to use a metaphor, it deceived the program's 'immune system' and removed all disguises the moment it ran in a certain field, revealing its fangs just like it did not long ago." A technician wearing glasses said.

"Not long ago? You discovered this virus not long ago? Why didn't you report it? If you had reported it, the launch time of "New Life" could have been postponed. We would have had enough time to fix this vulnerability instead of waiting for it to run wild!" Another technician realized something and shouted angrily.

"Sorry, we, we thought we had put it in a cage. You know very well that the operation of the All-Star Knockout Tournament has been planned long ago... If there are any temporary changes..."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door. A woman with long black hair and sharp wine-red eyes was trying to rush into the monitoring room, but was stopped by the guard.

"Ma'am, inside, you can't, you can't just go in there like that."

"Get lost, this is something I planned and designed, no one knows it better than me."

The woman said indifferently, looking at the guard with disdain. Her inherent pride made her reveal a little disgust.

"Do you know who you are stopping? Remember your identity. You are just a guard."

"Ah, damn it, isn't that crazy woman going to move to the satellite city? Isn't the title of one of the greatest scientists of mankind enough for her to enjoy her old age? Why does she come here at this time? Is she going to turn this place upside down?" said a technician, pulling his hair.

Many technicians present also had similar expressions.

It was obvious that the woman outside the door did not leave a good impression on them.

Finally, the technical director sighed, stood up from his seat, patted the guard on the shoulder, motioned for him to let her in, and then looked at the woman with a smile:

"Ms. Sen Miao, you have already transferred this project..."

"Are you calling me by my name? Mendes, do you really think that you earned this outfit and your current position by yourself? I didn't even bother to review your rubbish research topic, and I handed over this already perfected project to you. Do you really think you are the master here?"

"You!" The technical director was obviously speechless because of the woman's rebuke. He was so angry that his chest was stuffy. Finally, he cursed the rude old world people in his heart and smiled apologetically.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so...angry? Normally you are indifferent to this matter."

Sen Miao also noticed her own loss of composure. She noticed through the glass mirror beside her how haggard her face, which should have been delicate, now looked. Her eyes were bloodshot and full of fatigue on her cold face.

What happened to me suddenly?

It's just that a girl who looks a bit like her daughter is trapped in that virtual world. Why is she so irritable for no reason?

She hadn't felt this way for a long time, so long that she once suspected that she had long forgotten how to generate emotions.
