Spy Family

As soon as Lu Linbei and Mei Wangzhen walked to the door, they were stopped by a strong man.

The exit is over there. The strong man said coldly, not allowing the guest to go anywhere else.

The time has not come yet. Mei Wangzhen led Lu Linbei back to the original place.

The strong man had already walked away, and Mei Wangzhen said: There is no need to cause trouble. I will find another helper.

Inform the con man.

There are many rooms here and there are many players. We need to search them thoroughly. The con man doesn't have the power, so we can only- Mei Wangzhen mouthed the word call the police.

Lu Linbei was stunned. He always felt that it was a bit weird and ridiculous for a spy to call the police.

Forget about movies, we have a lot of cooperation with them. You encounter all kinds of things as soon as you enter the industry, and you are a bit led astray by conmen.

Lu Linbei smiled bitterly, knowing the word distorted very well.

You play some games and I'll wake you up.

Lu Linbei shook his head, I think it's better that I don't come into contact with this kind of thing.

Don't you want to see that guy in the game?

Lu Linbei picked up the ring next to the chair.

You are a newbie and you won't be able to hold on for long. I'll give you five minutes. The intensity is set to the lowest. The scene is chosen for you. It's the primary area and the target should go there.

Mei Wangzhen gently pushed Lu Linbei down, put a ring on him, and said close your eyes.

Lu Linbei felt his eyes go dark and returned to normal instantly. Nothing happened around him, so he said, There seems to be something wrong with this thing...

Mei Wangzhen is no longer around, and the instruments have become empty, with no players lying on them.

It turns out he has entered the game.

The surrounding environment is so realistic that even the weird artwork hanging on the walls are copied from reality to the last detail.

Lu Linbei raised his hand and touched it, and found that the ring on his head was gone, but there was a hood, covering most of his face.

He stood up and looked down. Except for the hood, nothing else on his body had changed. Lu Linbei felt very ridiculous imagining what he looked like now.

What can you do in the game? What to do? Lu Linbei knew nothing and had no prompts from the system, but he felt very good and everything was fine. The remaining bit of drunkenness disappeared without a trace, his head no longer hurt, and his stomach no longer ruminated. Every breath - in the virtual In the world, he still had the feeling of breathing - it was like walking into the forest for the first time after living at home for too long.

He clenched his fist, which had never been so powerful. He took a step, which was never so easy. He made a light jump, which was never so vigorous, and when he landed, he was so steady.

Less than ten seconds after entering the game, Lu Linbei has fully acknowledged its benefits, which are indeed incomparable to Mother Star Territory.

He walked to the door of the room, no longer surprised by the extra door.

When he opened the door, it was not a dark corridor, but a residential area. Judging from the style, it belonged to a relatively new urban area. The houses, streets, grass and trees, sky, sunshine, breeze, pedestrians...everything was real. Lu Linbei even suspected that There is such a place in the real world.

Especially pedestrians. Lu Linbei couldn't believe that he was in a game. The characters were so real, and even their expressions were lifelike. When two women passed by pushing a stroller, Lu Linbei hurriedly lowered his head and looked at his balaclava. Feel ashamed.

The two women really looked at him, walked away quickly, and whispered, seeming to be commenting on this weirdo.

Are they players? Lu Linbei couldn't help but think.

He didn't know what to do, so he stood on the street in a daze.

A man wearing half a ghost mask ran over, turned around and asked, First time?

yes.

What are you afraid of? I'll hit you. If anyone dares to look down on you, just beat him. The man sped up, kicked a woman down, grabbed the baby in the car, and danced around randomly.

The cries of babies and the screams of women pierced the silence of the street.

Lu Linbei was furious, and just as he was about to step forward to intervene, he heard shouts quickly coming from far away, and a large group of guys in strange clothes ran down the street, attacking pedestrians when they saw them, like a swarm of locusts passing through.

There was a chorus of screams.

Idiot, you don't even know how to enjoy the benefits for newcomers. Someone shouted loudly to Lu Linbei. The others laughed and quickly dispersed, breaking into every house and committing violence to their heart's content.

The so-called newcomer benefit is that you can be one step ahead of other players and destroy a few more system characters.

Knowing that this is a game and the tortured characters are virtual, Lu Linbei still feels uneasy, while Mei Wangzhen said that this is a low-level area.

This thing really should be banned.

He gave up rescuing people and ran to a house not far away because he saw the person Mei Wangzhen was talking about.

Iron Fist changed his outfit, but his style remained the same. He still had a pullover and half a mask. This time it was not a skeleton, but a distorted smiling face.

What hasn't changed is his walking posture, which is very long and always seems to be about to jump. Even in the game, he seems to be trying to get rid of the shackles of gravity.

Iron Fist is supposed to be an old player. What is he doing in the junior area?

Lu Linbei's doubts were quickly answered.

A dozen police cars sped over, and dozens of people got out of the car, holding guns or knives and sticks. This was a small change in the game that went against reality, probably to add interest to the fight that was about to begin.

Iron Fist ran out of the house and shouted: I'll take care of it, you continue. He glanced at the guy wearing a ridiculous hood, Newcomer, get out of here, this is my territory, you can only pay a fee to be protected.

Lu Linbei was about to speak when he felt a splitting headache and everything in front of him quickly became blurry...

He was back in his chair again, surrounded by people and things.

It's been five minutes. Mei Wangzhen stared at him, It's okay, you're not in deep. You didn't have much fun in there, right?

Lu Linbei shook his head.

See?

It's very possible that it's him, but I can't be sure. Once he left the game, the memories began to become blurry, I should go in and take a look again...

It is this idea that makes many people trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves. Mei Wangzhen glanced at the players around him. Since they arrived, no one has woken up. Some deeply obsessed people cannot wake up at all and have to rely on external infusions. Maintain your life, and when your property is used up, your life will also end...

The strong man stopped at the door and stared at the two players who were not enjoying themselves.

Mei Wangzhen signaled Lu Linbei to leave, and the door closed heavily behind them, unhappy that these two people could stay awake.

They went to sit in a small shop outside the building. From here they could just see the entrance and exit. If the building had another passage, there would be nothing they could do.

That kid won't be able to leave for a while, so don't keep an eye on him so closely. Mei Wangzhen ordered two drinks. There were several customers in the store, sleeping on the table.

The shop is a grocery store. Almost all items, from tables and chairs to the counter to the walls and roof, are made of electronic waste. The chair Lu Linbei is sitting on should have been an industrial robot in the past. It is said to be a robot. In fact, it does not look human at all, more like a multi-legged insect that has been modified and fixed to become a seat.

The drink cup is also a translucent part, square in shape, and quite uncomfortable to hold in the hand. The drink looks like wine but not wine, like some kind of mixed liquid that has been corrupted for a long time.

Mei Wangzhen picked up the cup and took a sip, then whispered: It's best to have a taste. The shop owner is watching you. You have to do as the Romans do.

The shopkeeper is an old man. He sits behind the counter and barely moves. He controls a mechanical arm to find out what the customers want. Behind him, there are more than a dozen similar arms, with different lengths and thicknesses. They are not used. Sometimes it shrinks into a ball, like the claws of a dead insect.

Yes, the entire store and even the owner himself look like weird mechanical insects.

Lu Linbei hurriedly picked up the cup and took a big sip. The drink tasted sweet at first, then spicy, and soon a sour taste came out.

Mei Wangzhen covered his mouth and said with a smile: You really drank it!

Lu Linbei coughed several times and burst into tears. When he looked at the shopkeeper again, the old man was motionless and his expression did not change. The target of his attention was not the guests at the table at all.

You drank too. Lu Linbei said hoarsely.

It's enough if this stuff sticks to your tongue. You can drink it as water.

Lu Linbei shook his head with a smile and returned to the topic, Is it really that person? I'm only 60-70% sure.

That's enough. Once you catch someone and investigate, you'll know that there aren't many people with the level of transformation he has.

Are the scenes in the game transplanted from reality?

I don't know. Anyway, I have never seen similar streets and communities in real life.

What is your role in the game?

Mei Wangzhen smiled, A game is a game. Unless you meet me inside, I will not tell you any character information, because games are different from reality after all. Some things that are understandable inside will be difficult to accept outside.

Lu Linbei understood what she meant. Those players who committed murder, arson, and misbehavior in the game would definitely not be understood in the real world.

It was not that he had never been exposed to cruel games, but such a realistic picture was still beyond his imagination. Even after leaving the room, the screams seemed to still be echoing in his ears.

A game like this shouldn't exist.

The police think so too, but it is very troublesome. If this place is eradicated immediately, dozens or hundreds of players may die. They are too addicted and difficult to wake up. Terminating the game is even more dangerous.

Allowing them to play is tantamount to encouraging chronic suicide.

Mei Wangzhen shrugged, That's why it's called trouble. It doesn't matter if you stay or move. We can only pretend not to see it for the time being. When the problem becomes serious enough to attract social attention, we can solve it completely again. By then, even if we sacrifice more, we can still get something. People’s understanding and support.”

That's what politicians think.

We, like the police, have to obey the orders of politicians.

Can the police search here?

As long as it's not a large-scale search, Laimaowen will pretend not to see the police's actions. As the old saying goes, life is full of compromises, so don't be too serious. The more serious you are, the more false the feedback you get.

That's not what you said.

Haha, didn't I tell you, as the old saying goes, I'm not that old.

Someone came in from outside, and Mei Wangzhen immediately waved and said hello.

Lu Linbei turned around and saw a tall man who was so incompatible with the style of this small shop, like a dog accidentally stepping into a hamster's territory.

You can cause trouble for me. The man came closer and tapped the table twice.

Trouble is always looking for you. Who told you...to think that you are also a traitor? Mei Wangzhen's expression changed from cheerful to indifferent.

Lu Linbei turned around again and saw Mei Qianzhong standing at the door, smiling and waving to him.
