All Things Wrong

“Hmm?” The opposite reaction stunned Li Wylin slightly, "Do you know me? ”

“No, no, no. Your name is a little like the name of someone I remember.” Hoffman over here said, "21XX… can't be true. ”

“What about this Lee Wylin you remember?” Li Huilin asked directly.

“Nearly 200 years ago, a man who led to the 'Great Crisis' was also named Li Huilin, a more common name in Huaxia.” Hoffman on this side said, "I'm told you have a different name for the same voice in Huaxia. Your name should be different from that of Li Wylin. “

“What is the Great Crisis?” Li Huilin asked directly, yes, although, as Hoffman said, the name Li Huilin is not uncommon, he always felt that the other person should be talking about himself.

“Hasn't it happened yet?” That was a huge crisis facing humankind at the time, "Hoffman said," when, without much preparedness, a large number of war machines suddenly appeared on the planet, and because of a lack of response, it was said that humankind had almost been extinct at the time, and it was fortunate that the worst eventually prevented from happening through the cooperation of all nations. Yet today's civilization is almost destroyed. ”

“War machine?” Li Wylin nodded slightly, yes. Speaking of which, did he recall the robot found on the moon earlier, leading to the near-destruction of humans? He believed that, after all, what Liu He Yun had said to him earlier was dangerous, but strangely enough, Hoffman said that humans were defenseless, which had already been discovered, and the Group of Four must have known, how could they be defenseless? The main thing is, according to Hoffman, this is something he made up again, how can he count it on himself?

“It was said that the situation was really very dangerous.” It is said to have been the greatest crisis since the birth of human civilization, without which the civilization of humankind would have proceeded much faster than it is today, "Hoffman said. ”

“Did you say a man named Lee Wylin caused the holocaust?” Li Huilin asked, “How did he do that? ”

“I… don't know, after all, it was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the situation was so chaotic that once humans were beaten only to the ground and in space, and all the early literature was gone, and now the only thing we know is that.” Hoffman said.

“If there's no information, isn't that okay to say anything?” Li Huilin said, "For example, our current level of technology should not be able to build those war machines, so how can this Li Huilin create these machines to cause a major crisis? I think it's normal for ZHENG government to make these things for war, and then something goes out of control, leading to a major crisis, and then to hide these mistakes, so we can put the charges on one person at random. You're right. ”

“This...” Hoffman on this side thought a little and nodded, “You're right, but I don't know much about this, I haven't studied it in depth, and everyone knows what I'm talking about. ”

“In other words, public opinion has been controlled.” Li Huilin said.

“Probably. But at the time, everyone was studying how to solve those war machines, and nobody was going to study it.” Hoffman over here also looked at Li Wylin, “you... is that really Li Wylin? ”

Yes, I heard Li Weilin's tone. Hoffman here also thought he might be the one who remembered Li Weilin. Is this the guy responsible for the global crisis? Hoffman, honestly, didn't think he'd see someone like this. It was a bit of a mess for a while.

“I'm not 100% sure, but I think that's who the guy should be talking about.” Li Huilin said.

“So you had nothing to do with those war machines?” Hoffman asked, yes, according to Lee Wylin's previous conversation, Hoffman also felt that what he might have learned was not true either.

“I don't know if it matters, but I didn't build those machines, and I didn't have much will to destroy the world.” Li Huilin said, "But it's not exactly what happened that I caused, and I'm not quite sure right now, after all, it still hasn't happened. But ZHENG is obviously hiding something, which I can be sure of. ”

“What do you mean?” Hoffman asked.

“Now that ZHENG has discovered the war machines, I think it's strange that you said something completely unprepared.” Li Huilin said.

“That's it.” Hoffman nodded over here, "I get it. After all, these things happened before, and after all this time, what happened at the time was completely unclear. But now that it hasn't happened, can I stop it? Change history?”

“Don't say anything about changing history, you can tell me about your situation first.” Li Weilin said, "Who are you? What's the situation with this company? What the hell is going on now? “

“Hmm." Hoffman nodded. After all, Lee Wylin told him something. It's also very important to exchange information now, “my name is William. Hoffman, a systems engineer, came to work for the park for a number of reasons. This paradise company, a virtual engineering project involving ZHENG, is ostensibly designed to solve the problem of human hibernation. ”

“The hibernation problem?” Li Huilin asked.

“Yes, you probably haven't had this yet, have you? In fact, in the future, because of the great crisis, most people on Earth have entered the underground world to escape, but the space underground is not that big, and some people have chosen direct hibernation, but general hibernation technology, if you want to sustain it, also needs to consume energy, and the energy problem was a big problem in our time, so there is an urgent need for a new technology to solve this problem, and Paradise was born to solve it. It's time to put human consciousness into the virtual world through some technology, and then the body destroys it directly, keeps the DNA information, waits until it hibernates, replicates the body directly, and injects consciousness again. If successful, of course, it would solve the energy problem, after all, maintaining a server would require far less energy than hundreds of millions of hibernation compartments.” Hoffman said, "If the plan succeeds, it may open up a new world, and I was shocked by the plan before I got involved. ”

“Did you design this server?“ Li Huilin asked.

“Oh, no, this server was made by Paradise, and by the time I got here, this server had been made, and our side was mainly about maintaining the internal world.” Hoffman over here said.

“Hmm...” Li Huilin nodded, still didn't know who was making this server, thought about it and asked, "You just said it was superficial, you found something, didn't you? I saw this company's promotional film when I was here before. You made the last part of that promotional film, right? ”

“Alas, is that thing still there?” Hoffman stunned a little, "well, actually, the company was hiding something else, and that's what I learned later. ”

“What the hell is that?” Li Huilin asked, “The boat plan you said. “

“To begin with, the Park Company's plan, although well executed, is still in the testing phase and has not yet begun to operate officially, at a time when there was a slight surprise in the only world tested. According to reports by some people, there are special NPCs in the world that are not created according to set rules, but rather seem to be created autonomously by the system, and these newborn NPCs seem to have some sense of autonomy, which is of course a terrible thing, when we had a meeting on our side, and we decided to observe them first, and then deal with them.” Hoffman said.

“And then you went into the game to observe?“ Li Huilin asked.

“Yes, me and my team, and two other groups, went into the game, ready to observe these special NPCs, and the results were unexpected to all of us, and these NPCs seemed to have a real sense of autonomy, even knowing that they were virtual figures, just like real people.” Hoffman said, "and of course we reported it, and then we got the company's advice, and what was unexpected was that the company just asked us to take care of the NPCs, not to check the servers to find out where they came from. ”

“And then what?” Li Huilin asked.

“A little something happened in the meantime.” Hoffman on this side said here, a little bit of a pause, yes, looking at each other's faces Lee Wylin probably knew that it had something to do with the God-fearing, but after all, he had an affair with the virtual character, which probably didn't know how to tell Lee Wylin, and Hoffman didn't say it in detail, but took it with him, "and then I found something strange. “

“Well, for example.” Li Huilin also did not deal with the issue of the God-killer. Now he tells Hoffman that he may want to go back directly to the game to find the God-killer. Li Huilin still needs information from the other party, of course he didn't say anything.

“One of the researchers in our group died.” Hoffman over here said.

“Hmm?” Lee Wylin stunned a little. What does that mean? Sounds like a little jump.

“That's when I realized the problem, yes, the principle of this paradise system is to transfer people's consciousness into this server and destroy each other's flesh, so if that consciousness disappears, doesn't that mean that this person is really dead?” It's obvious, "Hoffman said," that once a large number of people enter this virtual world, the people who control this server are saying that they control the entire human world. ”

“Hmm...” Li Wylin nodded, which is fine.

“This caused me a little doubt about the company's purpose, and then something even more surprising happened.” In entering the game survey, we actually discovered a strange system in the game, which could be called a screening system, "Hoffman said. ”

“Screening system?” Li Huilin asked.

“I don't know about the situation, but it should be through extensive screening, and then selecting some humans who are fit to survive.” Hoffman said.

“A human being fit to survive?” Li Huilin asked.

“Yes, that's the Ark plan.” This virtual world is not a haven for mankind, but a cruel fighter, blocking the world from running to a certain point, triggering a system similar to a battlefield, after a series of confrontations, and finally choosing some people to live on. ”

“What?” Li Weilin stunned a little, "Why do you do this? “

“I don't know. Hoffman said," As I suspect, this machine may not be able to sustain the number of humans it is now, so the ZHENG government tricked the average person into entering the machine in this way, and then screened the more suitable humans to survive, and the other wastes that are unsuitable for survival were probably disposed of directly. ”

“Is that so?” Li Huilin touched his chin, "didn't you just say that maintaining this server didn't require a lot of energy, so it doesn't matter if those people just live in it like this? Why do you have to set up a ring to deal with these people? ”

“This... I don't know, but this plan is real.” Hoffman over here said.

Hoffman said it might really be true, yes, Li Wylin's first thought was the world trial, which is really a full-scale screening, but what Li Wylin can't figure out is the purpose of the other party. If the mastermind behind this is ZHENG, there's no need for this screening, which makes Li Wylin feel strange.

“Purposefulness is simply incomprehensible.” Li Huilin said, "I guess you don't know the purpose, but you just heard the news, right? ”

“Well... but ZHENG was definitely going to hide it, they didn't know what it was about, but they must have done it, because after I investigated it, they started sending me some... I don't know if it was the company or the GDI or something, they wanted to get rid of me anyway, and if there was no way, I would have chosen to take risks and save my information and ‘die'.” Hoffman said.
