You didn't follow the routine at all, did you?

"How did he know it was you?"

Avelia also saw the words "Lin Zian" and opened her eyes slightly.

As if he heard her words, Ryan sent a third message.

"I also know you're here too."

"Lin Mengyu."

Avreya: "???"

"Check the room again!" Gu Chi said calmly.

Ryan's words gave him an inexplicable cold feeling on his back, as if there were a pair of eyes watching him from an invisible place. His first reaction was that the surveillance in the room was not checked thoroughly.

This time, he and Avelia went from the living room to the bathroom to the bedroom, leaving no corner untouched, whether it was the ceiling, the bottom of the bed, the coffee table, the table and chairs, or the curtains.

They even took down the lamps and looked at them, but still found nothing.

There is no monitoring.

But if there was really no surveillance, how would Ryan know that they had come to the oasis?

There are cameras in the corridors, elevators and lobby of the hotel, as well as at the station. But the problem is that before entering the water bed room, they kept their heads down all the way. The purpose is to avoid being photographed by the surveillance camera. This is the most basic thing. Players with a little experience in playing games all know anti-tracking awareness, otherwise they wouldn’t check the surveillance system as soon as they enter the room.

To put it bluntly, even if he and Avelia were too good at avoiding all the cameras, they shouldn't have been discovered so quickly.

None of the security personnel at the station recognized them, which meant that their wanted warrants were not issued locally in the Oasis. As a member of the noble board of directors, Ryan had to deal with many things every day and his time was very precious. How could he have time to check the surveillance in person?

I happened to check it out tonight and happened to find him and Avreya.

Is there such a coincidence?

Gu Chi didn't believe it.

Avelia didn’t believe it either.

She looked up at the room, her eyes slowly turning, looking at the four corners of the ceiling and the clean beige wallpaper on the walls.

Her eyes moved from top to bottom, from left to right, and finally fell back on Li Enci, squinting her eyes slightly.

Li Eunci is not a robot. Her body parameters are completely in line with the standards of a normal person without prosthetics, but this does not mean that she must not have something like a monitor on her body.

Avelia didn't think so much at first, but now that her identity was exposed, she couldn't help but think more.

Gu Chi seemed to have guessed what Avreya wanted to do. He raised his eyes and glanced at Li Enci, putting this beautiful woman into a hypnotic state again.

Avreya put Li Enci on the bed and stripped her naked in front of Gu Chi.

Li Enci was favored by the board members, and his figure was nothing to talk about. However, Gu Chi turned a blind eye to the beautiful mountains, rivers, valleys and dense forests. There was no wave in his eyes, as if he was looking at a prosthetic mannequin in a shopping mall cabinet.

but……

"No."

still none.

Avelia carefully inspected every inch of Li Eunci's body and every piece of clothing, including Li Eunci's shoes and handbags, but found no surveillance equipment.

She casually put the quilt on Li Enci to cover the leaked spring sunshine, and frowned deeper: "Could it be that she realized the false memory you implanted for her, secretly informed Ryan, and has been acting us?"

"Unlikely." Gu Chi looked at Li Enci who had fallen asleep, recalled her performance, and said, "Her condition is fine."

For an ordinary person, a level 6 dream control technique can make the memory look as if it were real, making it difficult to see through.

Even if you see through Gu Chi, you can see it.

Mission: Impossible is not that easy to act. Unless Lee Eun-ja's acting skills are as good as his and Avreya's, it would be impossible to fool them both at the same time.

Avelia was silent.

Gu Chi didn't say anything anymore.

Both of them stared at the mobile phones on the bedside table, and the air in the room became temporarily quiet.

They seemed to be back to last night again.

Ryan discovered that their infiltration into Oasis was very similar to the fact that the board of directors knew that they were killing executives. They had no idea where the problem was, and they couldn't find the cause, which meant that they could not effectively avoid the board of directors' sight. Any move could They are all under the other party's surveillance, and no matter how careful the plan is, it will be useless.

More importantly, the feeling of having everything exposed under the eyes of the enemy is really uncomfortable.

Gu Chi and Avreya are both people who are used to controlling situations. If the situation suddenly gets out of control, their psychological pressure will be greater than that of ordinary people.

Not to mention that the weight of the behemoth "board of directors" itself is enough to make people breathless.

The two looked at the phone screen and found that Ryan's status changed to "typing" again.

Three seconds later, Ryan sent another message.

This time it's a voice message.

Gu Chi and Avreya looked at each other and tapped the voice bar.

Ryan's voice sounded like a calm middle-aged man, with a faint smile in his tone: "Aren't you looking for the predator chip? It's in my hand."

Gu Chi didn't reply.

There was a lot of fuss in the dungeon about the chip, and he wasn't surprised that the board of directors knew about it.

Ryan continued: "Usually we humans have our own purposes for doing things. You are so eager to find the Predator chip. It should be very important to you, but your identity does not match it."

"One is a temporary executive who got his position thanks to a woman, and the other is the project manager responsible for developing the Dreamland game. I really can't imagine what use you have for the Raider chip."

"You don't even understand the meaning of the word 'Lawner'."

"Do you know what the Light Chaser represents?"

Gu Chi looked at Avreya.

Avelia shook her head slightly. Lin Mengyu did not have these things in her memory, and the previous director of Light Chaser Company did not tell her either.

Apart from her identity as a player, she hid nothing from Gu Chi. After all, her original plan was to intercept the man Hu. How could she intercept Hu if she didn't help Gu Chi find the chip first?

In terms of missions, she and Gu Chi knew the same information. She only knew that "light" meant the future of mankind. She did not understand the meanings of "grazing the light", "chasing the light" and "melting the light" respectively.

"You're acting strange."

Ryan said: "It's like a beggar who doesn't even have enough to eat and suddenly wants to be a scientist one day. This metaphor may not be very appropriate, but it can intuitively express my feelings for you and your dead companions."

“If the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved, how can needs and ideas arise across classes and levels?”

"We call the underground city a pasture, and the animals in the pasture will not be ideal."

"And you're not the first people I've seen whose identity and behavior don't match."

"I used to be very curious about what your purpose was, whether you really had an epiphany overnight, self-sublimation, figured out some philosophy or principles of life, and had more lofty pursuits and goals... I can't find the answer. I was confused for a long time because of this." Ryan sighed, "Until I remembered an experiment——"

"Double-slit interference experiment."

"It made me realize that the world we live in has uncertainty, or in other words, an observer effect."

"The state of all things at every moment has countless possibilities. They appear in whatever way we observe them."

"The world itself may not be like this, but because of our observations, it has become what it is now."

"Do you feel like this is like a pre-programmed program?"

"Rattlesnake Enterprises has been committed to researching virtual reality, and the same is true for the dream game we developed. Your observations and choices will determine your future and ending. We observe you and add more versions of game content based on your status, so that Everything becomes 'reasonable'."

"So, are there people outside our world who are observing us?"

"The game has rules, and in virtual reality you can never go beyond some of the rules we set."

"Similarly, we have some limitations that we can't overcome."

"Such as light."

“Since then, I have realized that the horizon we live in may just be a virtual world created by more advanced civilizations.”

"So we came up with a project called 'Light'."

"Things that can't find answers also have answers - of course you have your own purpose, but we can't understand it, because we are not from the same world. Are you right, outsiders?"

Ryan asked softly: "Or should I call you players?"

Gu Chi narrowed his eyes: "Are you Grayman?"

"Grayman?" Ryan laughed, "No, I'm not him. He is a complete madman, and I am just a pragmatic capitalist."

"For example, you broke into my world, killed my people, and made a mess of my ranch."

Ryan said: "You made me suffer losses that I shouldn't have to bear, and I must pay a corresponding price for it. I never do business at a loss."

Before Gu Chi spoke, Avreya pressed her voice button and sneered: "Just you?"

It doesn’t matter if you are on the board of directors or not, just fight back first and then talk about it.

Gu Chi: "..."

What a tough mouth.

But he likes it.

He also wasn't happy with Ryan's condescending attitude.

Ryan suddenly asked: "How long have we been chatting?"

The words just fell.

There was a violent banging on the door outside the house.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The people outside the door were hammering the door panel with their fists like crazy zombies. They were so strong that they hammered the door into dents.

"We're in trouble."

Gu Chi thought that he and Avreya would be hunted down, but he didn't expect that people would come so quickly.

Is it really a coincidence that Ryan happened to see them on the surveillance camera?

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The fierce banging on the door was like a drumstick, constantly beating the hearts of Gu Chi and Avreya, doubling the pressure on them.

The key is that the person who hammers the door doesn't speak. It's so late at night, it's easy for people to think whether the person outside the door is a human being, and there is an inexplicable feeling of weirdness.

Ryan sent another voice message.

Gu Chi didn’t click it this time, but it played it on its own.

"You can't run away."

Ryan's voice is no longer as rich as before - it doesn't even look like a human being. His cold voice is mixed with a metallic mechanical feel, like an electronic sound synthesized by AI, "Are you curious about how I know that you kill someone?" He killed someone and blended into the oasis?"

"Actually, I know more than just those two things."

"I also know that you have controlled Gu Qingshuang, Ai Qing, and Coredona, making your companions suspicious of each other and killing each other."

"I also know how you knocked out the two scavengers, took away their identity cards, and exchanged them for two train tickets to the oasis."

"And you seduced my woman, implanted memories in her, hid in the bathroom to avoid inspection, wanted to send a message to let me go to the hotel...etc., I know all this."

"Nothing you do can escape my eyes."

Ryan's voice got louder and louder, and in the end it far exceeded the volume limit of the mobile phone. It was as if there were countless speakers playing at the same time in the room, forming an oppressive and annoying surround sound, pouring into Gu Chi and Avreya from all directions. in the ears.

"Do you want to know why?"

"It's very simple."

"because……"

Lying on the bed and being hypnotized, Li Eunci suddenly sat up straight and let the quilt slip off his body, exposing a large area of ​​spring sunshine without caring. He opened his eyes and stared directly at the two of them. He and Ryan said at the same time: "Because I am everywhere .”

Gu Chi: "??!"

Avreya: "??!"

"grass!"

Gu Chi was so frightened that he swore loudly and subconsciously jumped back two steps to protect Avreya in front of him.

Avelia's hair stood up all over her body. Without saying anything, she took out a pistol and gave it to Li Eunci.

"boom!"

Li Enci's head exploded on the spot, and red and white blood splashed all over the bed.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Li Enci fell down and the screen of his mobile phone went black.

Ryan said no more, and the knocking on the door temporarily stopped.

For a moment, the only sound left in the room was the rapid heartbeats of the two of them.

But the silence didn't last long. In just two seconds, a louder hammering sound erupted outside the house than before. The heavy door panel was smashed into pieces, and the door handle kept twisting up and down, making the sound of metal shattering.

Gu Chi looked at Avreya.

Avreya also looked at Gu Chi.

The two of them saw the same word in each other's eyes——

"run!"

They never heard the sound of footsteps. Who knows how many people were outside.

Even if you can beat it, you can't beat it.

This is an oasis, the territory of the board of directors. If you fight in someone else's base camp, there will only be more and more enemies, and you can wear them to death.

If a few more doomsday figures come, they won't even be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Avreya gave Li Eunci a shot on the bed and came to the window with Gu Chi.

The two of them tore down the curtains, tore them into a long rope, tied one end to the foot of the bed, and threw the other end out the window.

Obviously very experienced.

The room was on the fifth floor, and the curtains were not long enough, but the remaining height was barely enough for them to land safely.

"Bang bang bang!"

The door panel won't hold up anymore.

"You go down first." Seeing that there was no one downstairs, Avreya asked Gu Chi to go first. She turned back and pointed the gun at the bedroom door, and at the same time took out a grenade.

Gu Chi: "?"

"Why do you have this thing?"

Avreya: "I took it from Kimchi God of War while you weren't looking."

Gu Chi: "..."

6.

He really didn't notice when Avreiya went to lick the bag.

However, he didn’t ask any further questions. He turned over and jumped out of the window, holding the curtain tightly and sliding to the ground. He raised his head and shouted, “Let’s go!”

"Bang!"

The door was smashed open, and when Avreya heard Gu Chi's voice, she didn't even look to see who the person was. She couldn't tell the difference between a robot and a real person anyway, so she threw the grenade out, turned around and jumped down.

"boom!"

The violent explosion shattered the glass, and flames rushed out of the window, burning the upper and lower walls to black, and the curtains also broke.

But Avreya has already landed.

The vehicle parked on the roadside sounded a piercing alarm due to the loud noise, and a figure chased him out of the hotel door.

"Bang bang bang!"

This time it was Gu Chi who fired the shot.

In terms of marksmanship alone, he was pretty good. With three shots, he knocked down all three figures who were the first to rush out of the hotel.

"Let's go!" Without hesitation, Gu Chi picked up Avreya and ran away.

"I suspect that the entire city is being monitored by the board of directors..." Avreya said, "including the underground city."

Gu Chi: "Then go to a crowded place first."

One advantage of the cyber era is that cities at night are more lively than cities during the day.

This area of ​​the hotel is an exception. In order to ensure a relatively quiet sleeping environment, it is not far from the bustling night market.

The two ran wildly following the neon lights, and soon came to a crowded street. Their eardrums were filled with surging rock music and noisy voices. The light and shadow of the light signs were reflected on the road that had just rained, making it hazy and gorgeous.

Gu Chi and Avreya blended into the crowd and made sure no one was chasing them before stopping and breathing heavily.

And this time, that weird feeling came to my mind again.

This pedestrian street was crowded, but it didn't give Gu Chi a sense of security.

It stands to reason that the appearance of him and Avreya should be very eye-catching, just like when someone rushes past you on the road, you will subconsciously take a look, but he raised his head and looked at everything in front of him, the people on the street. But they were still talking and laughing to themselves, as if nothing happened and they couldn't be seen at all.

Gu Chi felt lonely.

A kind of loneliness that does not belong to this era.

Avelia also felt that it was not very good: "We have to speed up."

Ryan knew their movements well, and they couldn't stay in one place for too long, otherwise they would get dumped sooner or later.

"I'm going to ask for directions." Gu Chi said.

The night was filled with neon lights, and the only road sign in their memory - the silver building was obscured so that its outline could not be seen. Li Eunci was gone, and they didn't know which direction they were in the city.

It would be best to get a map.

Gu Chi walked into a shop on the roadside.

The boss, a woman, was sorting the items on the shelves behind the counter and didn't seem to notice him coming in.

"Hello." Gu Chi reminded.

The woman's back paused slightly.

"Do you have a map?" Gu Chi asked.

"Yes, I have it, but I won't sell it," the woman said.

Gu Chi frowned: "Why?"

Even if you don’t make any money?

"Because it's not necessary."

The woman stopped and turned to look at him.

At the same time, her long hair shortened rapidly under Gu Chi's eyes, and her originally feminine facial features also changed, becoming distorted and blurred, and finally turned into a man's face.

"I told you, I'm everywhere."

"You can't run away."

Gu Chi: "???"

…

Thank you all for your blessings. I showed the screenshot to the old man. He was so happy. Hahahahaha. I love you all!
