Jiang Deng was still a little dazed when he woke up.

She shook her head, held her dizzy head with one hand, supported herself with the other hand, stumbled to her feet, and looked around.

The lights in the villa were still on, but it was so quiet that the only sound was the ticking of the second hand of the mechanical clock on the wall.

Nine fourteen.

Xiaobai was still standing a few steps away from her, and the electronic screen had completely gone out, as if the power had been completely exhausted.

【noob……】

Jiang Deng's lips moved silently. She belatedly recalled the situation before she fell into a coma. At that time, Xiao Bai seemed to have fought with System 001, and the male protagonist also got involved...

what about now?

She is not dead.

Jiang Deng frantically tapped the system in his mind:

[001! System! Are you still here? ! What happened just now! ! ! 001...]

In just a few minutes, Jiang Deng tried various methods to call the system out, shouting at it, provoking it, cursing it...

001 didn't respond at all.

There was a dead silence in her mind, as if the system had never existed.

Did Xiaobai and the male lead win? Was the system wiped out?

Jiang Deng's originally dull gaze suddenly turned to Xiaobai, and... the cell phone that fell on the floor beside him.

Yes, call.

Jiang Deng staggered over, picked up the phone, and dialed Zhou Wu's number.

While waiting, she anxiously pushed the robot to the charging station, trying to let Xiaobai charge itself, and then tried to restart it.

But Xiaobai seemed to be dead and did not respond at all. No one answered Zhou Wu's call.

No!

She has to go to Rubik's Cube Company!

Jiang Deng suppressed his panic and hurried to the Magic Cube Company. Not long after he got in the car, he suddenly received a message from his assistant:

【Zhou Wu is suspected to have died, died suddenly in the laboratory.】

Jiang Deng froze.

Zhou Wu is dead?!

How is it possible?! She hasn't done anything yet?!

Jiang Deng felt it was extremely absurd and just hoped the car could go faster, faster. She wanted to get to the company quickly to see what was going on.

At this moment, the electronic billboards standing on the roadside inexplicably switched screens, and a female host in formal attire appeared.

"Now, an urgent news: At 9:05 p.m. Syracuse time, all virtual products under Magic Cube Corporation suddenly came to a halt. Both virtual games have stopped running. The specific reason is still unclear.

“Please help the virtual helmet users around you to terminate the game in time and return to the real world to avoid falling into danger due to perception confusion…

"It is reported that the company's artificial intelligence robots are still operating normally, but the possibility of stopping operation has not been ruled out..."

Jiang Deng's mind was even more confused. She heard every word in the news clearly, but her brain seemed to be disconnected. It took her a long time to sort it out before she roughly understood the meaning of the passage.

The virtual helmet is malfunctioning!

Jiang Deng immediately wanted to find her helmet and try it on, but she was in the car and the helmet was in the villa...she couldn't try it.

...Did the male protagonist and Xiaobai perish together with the system?

At the same time, Jiang Deng's cell phone kept ringing like crazy.

She looked down and saw messages from Magic Cube employees. The top message was from Zhou Wu's assistant:

[Ms. Jiang, the president is in trouble and is currently receiving emergency treatment at Syracuse Central Hospital.]

Jiang Deng closed his eyes and then opened them again.

Not a fantasy.

The news playing on a loop outside the car window is real, and the information in the mobile phone is also real.

Jiang Deng took a deep breath, mechanically put down his phone, and changed the destination of the car.

She felt empty inside.

Is the hero really dead?
