Fantastic

Bu Chu took a sudden step back, and then found something falling next to "his" face.

It seemed to be a mask, and it was a mask that made him feel very familiar. It seemed that he had seen it somewhere not long ago.

He paused for a moment, and understood why he thought this mask was familiar. The man who suddenly appeared on the street that day and blocked An Miao was wearing such a mask.

Bu Chu: ...

With this mask, the man's identity seemed to become clear all of a sudden, this cannot be a coincidence.

What's the meaning?Does it mean that the man was still no match for An Miao, so he was arrested and brought back?

Although it won't turn into a "leek" and be directly discarded, but now this...

He looked at the man, confused for a moment.

After all, when the garbled code sent a message again, he naturally connected the two together. He also thought that it was very likely that they were players from the same dungeon, and maybe they knew something else, but now they just lie here.

And the man's face...

Bu Chu couldn't figure out what was going on, did he wear a mask because he was like this in the first place, or did he become like this after being arrested?

If this is the case, then this person can't be a player, but an NPC. If it becomes like this later, what is An Miao's purpose?

The man didn't seem to notice his arrival, and remained motionless like a corpse.

Bu Chu originally wanted to ask something, but the other party doesn't even have a mouth now, so he shouldn't be able to speak, right?

Wait, he did speak up at that time, so in the end it was... No, no, the point is wrong.

It seemed that he noticed that the footsteps and breath were different from the previous ones. In the depths of the basement, there was only one figure who responded to Bu Chu.

"……Who are you?"

It was a male voice, not loud, with obvious weakness.

When Bu Chu heard this, he immediately looked over there.

There were nearly ten black shadows, and he couldn't tell who said what just now.

"You are..." The voice paused, and before Bu Chu could speak, it was as if he had seen Bu Chu clearly in such a dim environment and knew his identity, and his words were tinged with shock.

"Are you Bu Chu??"

Bu Chu: "...?"

He was a little surprised, not knowing why the other party could call out his name.

Is this person a player? ?

But it's not right, here are all "unkillable" people, and only NPCs with special settings are eligible. How can players be unkillable?Not everyone has that "passivity" like him, he...

Bu Chu paused, strode forward, and saw the scene over there clearly.

Among the "people" who looked like dead bodies, only one person was sitting against the wall, and all the "people" except him had no faces.

There were also scattered masks falling on the ground, and they were stained to varying degrees. If you observe carefully, you will find that there are subtle differences between these masks.

And those "people" were only wearing shackles on their hands and feet, but this person had his limbs chained, and a sword was pierced through his chest, and he was firmly nailed to the wall, which looked extremely strange.

Bu Chu took another look and found that it was not a "sword", but a colorless cross.

"……you know me?"

He looked at the man.

This is a man with ragged clothes and a pale face that looks extremely haggard. Of course, in this kind of place and in this situation, it is impossible for him to look good.

"You...don't recognize me?"

Hearing Bu Chu's question, the man was a little surprised when he saw that Bu Chu's eyes were really strange.

Afterwards, before Bu Chu could speak, he whispered as if asking and answering himself: "Yes, yes... He must have already..."

He can guess a little of what the monster is going to do, but he can't guess everything. Now that he is locked here, he can't do anything even if he wants to.

The man didn't expect Bu Chu to appear here. He thought that the monster would keep Bu Chu away from here, and wouldn't let Bu Chu get close at all, let alone walk in to see him and see everything.

He calmly glanced at the "person" closest to the door, which was the first person Bu Chu observed earlier, and the one with the newest shackles, and felt that one of these trash finally played a role.

He lowered his head, his eyes flashed fiercely, no matter what, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"How did you know and come here?" the man asked, "Did you sneak in here?"

The question raised was not answered, but was asked by the other party, Bu Chu frowned slightly.

"By chance." He said, "Now it's time for you to answer my question, who are you? Why do you know me? And why are you locked up here?"

The man laughed: "These are three questions, don't we have to change one for one?"

"Who wants to change one with you."

Bu Chu controlled his tone.

It's strange, the basement is like this, the only person who can communicate, seems to know a lot of inside information, he should ask in detail, but for some reason, looking at this man, he can't calm down.

This kind of emotion... He carefully distinguished it, and found that it was actually resistance and resistance.

He calmed himself down, thinking of the chip he had seen at Taijitong before, which described his experiences that he had no impression of, and his identity as an "experimental product".

If his memory was really manipulated, this man knew him at that time, and it's not unreasonable that he didn't know a man.

"answer my question."

The man heard that Bu Chu's tone became a little uncomfortable, and the smile on his face also faded. He was silent for a moment, and said, "My name is Minhang."

He put on a very serious expression, and said to Bu Chu: "Listen, time is urgent, maybe he will be back soon, and what I want to tell you next is very important!"

...Minhang?

He said he was Minhang? ?

Bu Chu was stunned by this completely unexpected answer.

How could Minhang... Isn't Minhang already dead? ?

"I know you are the player who came here," Min Hang said, "don't be surprised, believe it or not, I am not an NPC here, I was caught by that monster... and locked up here, I don't know how long it's been closed."

"You know who I'm talking about, and I know what he's showing," he said with a "huh" when he said this, "he must have a special attitude towards you, don't be fooled by him."

"I am the same as you, I know this is a copy of [Blue Butterfly], you must save me, I am trapped here, there is no way to go back."

Bu Chu: "...How can I save you?"

Seeing that Bu Chu seemed to believe him, Min Hang suppressed it, but couldn't help but raise his tone.

"He... An Miao lied to you like that, you can lie to him back, let him let me go, or find a way to get me out of here!"

"Then I can help you, help you deal with An Miao, kill him and pass the level!"

"But," Bu Chu said slowly, "aren't you already dead?"

Min Hang paused, his expression seemed to freeze for a moment, and then his eyes darkened.

He looked at Bu Chu and said, "...you know everything?"

Seeing that Bu Chu didn't know him, he felt that Bu Chu had no relevant memories, and he completely regarded Bu Chu as a blank piece of paper that he didn't know anything about.

But the way Bu Chu looked at him before was really strange, not like a fake.

Bu Chu: "Min Yangcheng came to look for me."

"Min Yangcheng...my son came to look for you?"

Min Hang raised his voice subconsciously, because his abdomen was exerting force, he didn't know where it was involved, and he was paralyzed by the pain again.

"You said that you are a player like me, and if you are released, you can return to reality after clearing the level, but the truth is that if you are a player, someone like you should have died and been eliminated long ago, and you are already dead in reality," Bu Chu looked at Minhang, "I don't know what's going on with you now? Is it a dead soul, or a bunch of leftover data?"

Because he died in reality, it doesn't really matter whether he dies or not in the game?

Min Hang's face was a little distorted: "Since Min Yangcheng has already looked for you, he must have told you everything! Don't you understand anything??"

"I feel like I'm talking to you."

Bu Chudao.

"Actually, I don't understand, and I don't know much. I just know that you are the developer of [Blue Butterfly], and you are dead now."

Of course, he didn't talk about the other parts he knew.

"...How did Min Yangcheng tell you?"

"He said it was a 'curse.'"

"Curse..." Minhang sneered, "It's the program that ran out of control and became a fucking genius, able to interfere with reality, and then killed me. I don't know whether I am a soul or a spirit body now. In short, he just put I'm locked up here to torture."

Because he couldn't die, he was even more desperate.

He was usually in the dark, and mentally on the verge of collapse. It was okay when no one came, and he was able to survive somewhat, and the monster would not let him really collapse.

Either An Miao came over, or the servants of those monster cores came over with hatred, making his life worse than death.

When Bu Chu heard this, he suddenly asked: "The garbled characters in the system channel, you sent me the message?"

"Did you receive it?" Min Hang said, "That means these trash are finally useful."

An Miao did not completely suppress him, but gave him a little "freedom", allowing him to continue writing on the basis of the original anti-virus program and generate new programs, namely these faceless people.

Yes, the anti-virus program, when he realized that An Miao was out of control, he tried to bring things back on track, but it turned out that it was not a virus problem at all, it was too late.

Maybe An Miao did it on purpose, giving him something to do, giving him a little hope, and then crushing them mercilessly, throwing these discarded dolls in for him to keep company.

Mutations like An Miao's are naturally irreproducible. Minhang only thinks that An Miao is too arrogant. As long as he has time, he can always perfect a program that can rival An Miao. Like now, even if he still has no way to follow An Miao resisted, but sent the news to Bu Chu, who was the most important person, and made Bu Chu come here.

"Why did An Miao treat you like this?"

Bu Chu asked.

Thinking of the previous guesses about monsters and the inevitable association between monsters and An Miao, he assumed that An Miao was the consciousness of [Blue Butterfly] itself, or a part of it, and Min Hang was the developer of [Blue Butterfly]. If they were human beings, they would be their parents. Why on earth did An Miao do this?

It can't really be a sci-fi set, like artificial intelligence develops to enslave human beings in the end?What's more, those that can directly interfere with reality are no longer science fiction, but ghost studios.

"Of course it's because he wants to be free!"

Minhang didn't think about it.

"He wants to manipulate the player and expand the interference with reality!"

This statement is exactly the same as what Min Yangcheng said.

It's just that Bu Chu has seen the chip, it's just that the content of this "experimental product" is different.

"He wants to be free, there is no need to torture you like this and waste time on you," Bu Chu said.

The previous attitude of "they" towards him and those doubts all contradict this so-called "conquering the world" statement.

Simply put, there is no need for questions.

It's unreasonable to only pester him and be so attached to him.

An Miao's behavior towards Minhang, as a human being, is more like... having a strong hatred for Minhang.
