War Paradise

Two days after the start of the battle of positions mode, strange stories began to circulate.

No one believed it at first, but as more and more players said that they had encountered a "ghost" in the battlefield, players who originally regarded this as a rumor have finally begun to consider the authenticity of this legend.

It is said that there is a gloomy base like a ghost town, no matter how strong the offensive team is, it is completely impossible to break. What's even stranger is that both the attacker's entourage and the player himself will be killed in the same way as in the horror movie.

The entourage around him did not respond, and when he looked back, he found that he had been dismembered. The entourage who was still behind, suddenly disappeared inexplicably...

And when all the entourages were killed, the next unfortunate thing was the offensive player himself.

Because the scene is too bloody, most players who strayed into this base directly triggered the sudden death system and were kicked out of the game. The mechanism of positional warfare determines that neither the offensive side nor the defender can see each other’s names, so the problem is...

"Is the so-called haunted house an official conspiracy?" 》

This post on the subject of conspiracy theory was quickly topped the hottest position in the game forum. The author's point of view is: the "haunted house" in the battle of positions is actually created by Pulse Entertainment in order to increase the popularity of the new game mode.

"This haunted house does not belong to any player, but is built by the game administrator himself. Players who line up to the defending side are advised to quit the game immediately. You have fallen into the trap of pulse entertainment!"

The author of the post is very affectionate, and the content of the article seems to be justified, and many people begin to believe in this conspiracy theory.

At this time, the perpetrator of the haunted house incident was staying at home bored and waiting for Frankenstein's results.

I thought that Frankenstein would complete the task quickly, but now it seems that the speed of computer viruses is still far behind the cloud computing engines of large companies. Three days have passed since the search started, and Frankenstein still shut himself down. In Lin Chi's bedroom, Lin Chi could only sleep on the sofa.

Leaning on the sofa and watching TV for a while, Lin Chi came to the bedroom door again, raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"Is it ok now?"

After a moment of silence, there was finally a response from the room:

"I found it."

"How can it take so long." Listening to the sound of getting up in the room, Lin Chi vomited: "Are you acting me?"

"There are too many pictures on the Internet." The bedroom door opened outward, and the slender body of the welcome robot appeared in front of the door: "In order to maintain consciousness, I still need some computing power."

Lin Chi nodded: "I understand."

Unlike humans who are "send by gods", Frankenstein needs to perform a lot of calculations just to maintain "self-awareness", something that every normal person has. The closer you are to humans, the greater the amount of computing required.

In other words, while Frankenstein is trying to imitate humans, its "ability" is actually constantly degrading. However, this may be the inevitable price to be paid to become a human being.

"So what is the recognition result?" Lin Chi went straight to the topic.

While talking, his mobile phone was already vibrating, Lin Chi opened the mail menu, only a familiar LOGO appeared in the air above the phone screen:

"According to the test, the fuzzy pattern on that computer matches this LOGO." Frankenstein said.

"Are you sure it is this?" Lin Chi widened his eyes in surprise.

The mark that appears in the projection belongs to a well-known game company. Of course, this company has already changed its LOGO, but six years ago, the company’s LOGO did look like that:

I saw that the vague "V" is actually part of the "M". As for the logo text...

"EA-GAMES..." Lin Chi read out the following English, then couldn't help but complain: "They play games in the office? Is there such an operation?"

As a former American gaming giant, EA has already declined a lot and has lost its dominance.

The company failed to seize the early business opportunities of brain imaging games and still insisted on developing old-fashioned VR games. Until many small manufacturers began to shine, EA realized the importance of this market, but unfortunately it was too late. The previous technical backwardness was irreparable.

——If this employee in the Cold Mountain Lab is playing an EA game, the situation becomes more interesting.

Since decades ago, EA's games have been the forerunner of out-of-box in-box purchases. Many of their games have included the unboxing element of krypton gold that is hated by players, and it is no exception today.

In order to harvest players' money in the game, a large number of games produced by EA have no offline stand-alone mode at all, and must be forced online. If the staff in the Cold Mountain Lab are playing EA games, that is to say, in this era, the Cold Mountain Lab has not cut off the channel to communicate with the outside world.

Lin Chi opened the previous interview video again and focused his gaze on the computer screen displaying the LOGO. As the lens quickly switched to other directions, he had nothing except the EA logo and the sudden black background. see.

——So, the main interface of that game should be black. But just with the three keywords of "EA game", "Developed before 2029" and "The main interface is black", there will still be a large number of alternative games, and it is impossible to speculate what substantive content is.

"Maybe there will be other angles." Lin Chi started to fast forward while speaking, looking for other pictures related to that computer.

"I don't understand." Frankenstein asked, "Does it help you to figure out what game he is playing."

"Since we've been investigating for so long, isn't it a pity to give up now." Lin Chi spoke out the wrong reason seriously.

In fact, he also knew that continuing the investigation might be a waste of effort.

As Frankenstein said, even if it is found out what games the staff of Cold Mountain Lab are playing, there is absolutely no use for birds. but……

For some reason, Lin Chi always felt that this clue might still be useful.

After careful observation, he finally found the clue again:

Although the lens did not continue to shoot the computer, during a few seconds of projection, some blurred text and images were faintly reflected on the glass behind.

Just looking at the vague reflection, you can't see anything, but after knowing that it is an EA game, it is much easier to recognize the picture.

After cutting out the screen and putting it on a mobile phone, Lin Chi began investigating several computer games produced by EA in 2029, looking for an interface similar to projection.

After some "hard work" searches, Lin Chi finally found a game interface that exactly matched the projection on the glass:

"It's Battlefield 2135." Lin Chi, who completed the investigation, put down his phone and raised his head: "That researcher is playing this."

"Do you want to try." Frankenstein looked at the projection above the phone screen.

"Of course."

Lin Chi nodded without hesitation: "I don't think the researcher at Cold Mountain Lab is just'playing games'. Since he chose this game, there should be other reasons."
