Chapter 116: Institute by the Sea
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
The Xia family did not cause too much of a ripple, after all, the news were suppressed, and the people who wanted to make trouble at the time have also been in the bureau.
Master Xia opened the safe left by his wife after that, which is said to have just two people when they first got married, Master Xia gave each other a gift.
To say that the biggest problem, or the day to attend the banquet of Xi Xi young master suddenly unconscious matter, it is said to be in the banquet when too much fright.
As for Wuji Gu, he believed that people would forget his identity as time went by, although it had caused a lot of unrest.
The people of the Xia family who want to get the heir position are eager to cultivate a relationship with Wuji Gu, but they simply do not know Wuji Gu's true identity, and it is completely impossible to find his people.
The only one who knows Wuji Gu's true identity, Yangshuo Xia, is not to reveal the slightest bit of this. Others thought he was shamelessly blocking information because of his good relationship with Wuji Gu, but only Yangshuo Xia himself knows ......
That Master Gu is actually a man! The request made by Master Xia was destined to be completed by none of them.
Wuji Gu, who caused a furore in the Xia family, spent a very leisurely time afterwards, in addition to carrying out his daily work, also exchanging copy experiences with those teammates he met in the virtual world from time to time.
Of course, Wuji Gu's experience is not at all informative.
At this time, Yuanzhou Lu, who had worked together twice before, invited Wuji Gu again.
"This time I've come to you for something good!" Yuanzhou Lu's tone was still very excited, he felt that he finally had something good to come to Wuji Gu.
After the previous copy, Yuanzhou Lu's conflict with the organization became more and more difficult to reconcile, and finally chose to leave.
Of course Yuanzhou Lu is still ready to find a new organization to mix, just at this time he coincidentally came into contact with a rather powerful organization, it is said that the organization's top even have senior players.
Intermediate players in the completion of a certain copy, will inevitably be arranged by the system on the promotion copy, only after completing the specified requirements to become a senior player, otherwise, even if it is to hold someone else's leg to survive, the next to participate in or promotion copy.
The advancement copy is mysterious and unpredictable, extremely difficult, and intimidating. If you can hook up with an experienced senior player, it will undoubtedly become much easier.
Yuanzhou Lu is also a person who is about to be assigned to a promotion copy, so he is determined to enter this organization.
But of course it's not that easy to get into such an organization. There are some trials to go through, and Yuanzhou Lu, while preparing for this trial, immediately remembered Wuji Gu, who is not yet organized.
In his opinion, Wuji Gu's strength is already so strong and has caused so many amazing events, it must be more than enough to pass the trial to enter this organization.
Wuji Gu was also interested in Yuanzhou Lu's words and immediately asked the other party what the trial was about.
"Speaking of which, this trial is not that complicated, just enter the intermediate copy they designated and go get one thing." Yuanzhou Lu opened his mouth and spoke.
Of course this is certainly a certain amount of danger, but which copy is able to guarantee that they will not happen at all, it is better to seize this opportunity.
"That's not a problem." Wuji Gu nodded, he was kinda interested in this copy and the organization.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't go back to the last copy of the world, Wuji Gu will not matter.
After all, if he went back to the last copy of the world, it can no longer be said to be a death, it is simply an act of suicide. The thing Wuji Gu does not want to encounter again.
After the discussion, after a period of time in the world, Wuji Gu again used the same method as last time and entered a copy with Yuanzhou Lu.
............
......
After Wuji Gu woke up, he immediately found himself in the middle of a hall. The hall is white as far as the eye can see, and there are no furnishings inside, the simplest to the extreme. There is only one entrance and one exit, and it does not look like a door that can be violently broken, but needs to be unlocked with fingerprints.
He looked down and could see himself in a white lab coat, clean and tidy, giving the impression that he was a doctor or a researcher.
Several people standing around were also similarly dressed, and they all looked grave. According to Yuanzhou Lu, the purpose of these people coming here is the same, they all want to obtain that certain thing, so as to enter into that organization.
And there seems to be only one of those things, and at most only two people can be allowed to join the organization together. Therefore the copy has not yet officially started, just when they are introduced to each other, there is already a vague sense of competition among the people.
Most of these people seem to be quite famous, although Wuji Gu does not know ...... after all, his knowledge of other players is really limited, there is that time to watch other people's videos might as well go more to figure out the characterization of the new script.
When Wuji Gu used Sun Shi that pseudonym, several people around looked at him with amazement, apparently these people also know the things between Wuji Gu and Shan Shen ...... although the last copy is more explosive, but because the second half of all the black screen, so outsiders know only what happened much earlier.
This has led these people to have some contempt for Wuji Gu, thinking that although he is quite famous and certainly has the strength, he is obviously no match for the others present.
When Yuanzhou Lu saw Wuji Gu, he nodded to him right away. Then he looked indifferent, as if they were not familiar with each other at all.
The two agreed before entering the copy that they would disguise themselves as unknowns in this copy as before and help each other if something happened.
[You are special personnel hired by a large family at a high salary and sent to this remote institute located on the edge of a cliff by the sea, nominally for you to study some rare creature, but this institute has long had bad rumors, not to mention that you all have never touched anything related to it and know nothing about it. Even more frightening is the legend that the researchers who left from it either fell into madness or disappeared themselves.]
[But even with doubts in your minds, all you have to do now is to perform your duties; after all, the money given by the Institute is extremely important to you.]
[Trigger the main task: complete the work explained by the Institute].
The crowd in hearing the copy of the introduction of not much change of expression, they came before more or less through various means to learn the background of the copy. But really did not expect this copy actually directly point out that they will not have any research knowledge of this ......
Wuji Gu is also looking for clues about this copy before coming. It is reasonable to say that some ordinary copies have many people pass, more or less some video, there will be people out to publish their thoughts on the pass.
But this copy is mysterious to the extreme, in the outside world surprisingly no little news. Of course this kind of copy is also there ...... after all, the copy of this game is constantly being updated, in addition to the old copy will disappear for various reasons, new copies will also continue to appear.
After all, in Wuji Gu's opinion, these copies of the world would have been so many ghosts, it is normal to trigger a few new copies from time to time.
And the clues purchased from the system mention the story of the daughter of the sea, the story breaks after the little mermaid gets the dagger given by her sister, which seems to be hinting at something.
In addition to the fact that this is a seaside institute, Wuji Gu has a vague suspicion of the contents of this copy.
Could it be that the existence studied in this copy is a mermaid?
Or maybe it was to save someone, but ended up being caught in this institute to become a research being, because of resentment and make it act in revenge against humans.
Thinking that it was all quite possible, Wuji Gu decided to wait until after entering to see if he could find out more.
Then the door to the hall in front of them was opened and a handsome young man with light blond hair hurried in, claiming to be the director, who would assign their work next.
And the crowd so the serious researcher is completely different, his clothes are now haphazardly draped over his body, white clothes with water stains, hair looks messy and unkempt, the whole person looks with a casual air, appear to be still very approachable.
"I'm sorry for being late by accident. There was just a sudden problem with a test piece." The blonde youth gave an apologetic smile, "I'm Aona Fei , just call yourselves whatever you want."
The crowd, however, was keenly aware of the test subjects mentioned in the words of this NPC and had more or less in mind.
When entering through the door, Aona Fei reached out and pressed her fingerprints on the lock by the door, then spoke in a relaxed tone: "Your fingerprints have been entered into the system as well. But since you've just arrived, you don't have much access. If you want to get out, you can come to me."
The others listened to his words and already felt the trouble, according to this Aona Fei director, they are almost as much as being in here, want to leave can not do, if then encounter any deadly danger, will not be in big trouble.
"Of course, as long as you work well and don't get into any trouble, your authority will soon be upgraded." Aona Fei smiled and spoke as if she knew what they were thinking.
The crowd heard here, many people are already thinking about the time when it is really not possible to kidnap the NPC to open the door thing. But this kind of thing as a last resort is no one will do, after all, who knows this NPC is a human being is a ghost, if you accidentally kidnap a BOSS that is seeking death.
This institute is quite large, the outside world can only see the top layer of the cliff, but there are several more layers inside.
Through the elevator into the cliff, the crowd has not listened to Aona Fei began to introduce, there are already a few staff pale rushed out, they are covered with blood, looks very wretched.
" Director Aona Fei, the test article over there is out of control again!"
Listening to the anxious words of these people, Aona Fei still looked calm, smiled and told them that she had something to do, and then assigned a random researcher to show them around the institute.
Compared to Aona Fei, who is quite personal and approachable, others are full of indifference, a look of reluctance to deal with players ...... but this makes players feel a lot more at ease, Aona Fei's personality is what makes people confused.
Someone tentatively asked the researcher what that accident was all about just now.
In response the researchers simply stated indifferently, "It's just a very common test article gone haywire. Nothing to make a fuss about."
"But that blood also looks too scary, will someone have an accident ......"
"Anyone who is injured will be sent to the outside world for treatment. And we also have excellent medical facilities and experienced doctors inside the institute, so don't worry about such problems."
After that, the crowd was a variety of side conversations, but they could not ask anything.
Players are living in single rooms, although not as luxurious as the hotel, but the conditions are also very good, although you can not contact with the outside world, but watch TV movies play games and other entertainment or have.
As for the three meals are in the staff dining room, there is a sumptuous food sent from outside, you can also make comments naming what you want to eat, there are chefs ready to cook, if you save time, you can bring your own nutrition solution out to drink.
In addition to this, there are various facilities such as a gym, and the benefits are quite good.
There are also very high annual salaries and bonuses, and huge compensation for the researchers' families in case of accidents.
In addition to little freedom and the inability to communicate with the outside world, this job can be said to be perfect. But it is clear that this is not an ordinary institute at all.
According to Aona Fei's disclosure, and their previous information, this institute is the study of a rare creature and the existence of ...... According to past experience, this institute research is estimated to be what monsters, or simply ghosts.
Players and can not really work here, things are bound to change in a few days, if they can not complete the work in a few days while finding more clues, it is estimated that they will perish in the accident afterwards.
What's more, they had no experience in this field, and it is estimated that the people of the Institute pulled them in just to let them die.
Wuji Gu was given the job of organizing information in the office. Other players were also assigned jobs, more or less, but at first these jobs were not directly related to the creatures studied.
If it is in reality, everyone must start to spit out the gold owner behind this institute is not a brain pit, spend so much money to hire talent are to do what.
Wuji Gu comes into the office, a job that is shockingly easy to do, as long as one can read and write and has basic common sense. In addition to him, there is a silent brown-haired woman in the office.
The brown-haired woman's skin is very pale, but also from time to time there is a cold sweat flowing down, looks like a sick look.
Wuji Gu tried to communicate with the brown-haired woman, greeting her tentatively, "Hello? You don't look well, do you need some rest?"
But the other party did not have the slightest intention of talking to him, but could not help but look at Wuji Gu's face a few more times as his eyes swept in.
After all, it is still physically and mentally pleasing to admire a handsome man.
Wuji Gu saw that the other party really had no intention of communicating with him, so he started to look at the information in his hands carefully, trying to find any clues.
However, the reality is harsh, the data above, Wuji Gu simply can not understand the slightest, he realized that he had to find a copy of the NPC to help themselves to interpret.
The brown-haired woman looked at Wuji Gu's concentration and suddenly spoke, "You're not just here for work, are you?"
"What?" Wuji Gu looked to the other side.
"I've seen too many of them, people who mix into this copy thinking they'll find something that will make them famous, only to end up buried here." The brown-haired woman whispered, her eyes cold as she looked at Wuji Gu , "...... you will also fall into one of them."
Wuji Gu : "Thank you for the reminder."
"I'm not reminding you." The brown-haired woman frowned and added, "Just trying to tell you not to think how good the errand here is ...... better find a chance to escape from here and get as far away as possible."
After these words, no matter what Wuji Gu asked, the brown-haired woman never spoke again, and her face became more and more ugly, as if she was getting physically uncomfortable.
Wuji Gu of course is not likely to leave, he is of course well aware of the dangers that can occur here, but even without the constraints of the main task, Wuji Gu's character will make him stay here to uncover the truth.
This first day is just to let him get used to it, soon it was time to leave work, Wuji Gu from the room to go out, suddenly seemed to hear the sound of some water flowing away from the ear, but then listen carefully, but can not hear anything.
"What's that ......"
In reality he might suspect he was hallucinating, but in the copy every detail has its deeper meaning.
The brown-haired woman in the back noticed Wuji Gu's difference and looked at him with consternation, "You heard that?"
Wuji Gu immediately sensed something and asked the brown-haired woman carefully, "Do you know what that is?"
The latter immediately shook her head, as if remembering something extremely fearful, "I don't know, I don't know anything." She lifted her bag and hurried out the door, and as she brushed past Wuji Gu, a voice so light as to be almost inaudible rang out, "If you ...... see him, definitely don't ......"
Before Wuji Gu could call out to her, the brown-haired woman's figure had already disappeared around the corner.
"What exactly does she mean by that." Wuji Gu was even more confused.
Wuji Gu came to the staff cafeteria, at this time, other people are basically here to stay, he sat down as if nothing happened, Yuanzhou Lu diagonally opposite the seat, the two seem to have just met casually exchanged the events of the day.
"My task is to clean a certain room." Yuanzhou Lu frowned, his face very hard, "There was a huge sink in that room, but there was nothing in it, and it was really hard to clean up, and there were some things that looked like guts and blood ...... of course that should be feed for that creature. "
In such a psychic copy, this so-called feed makes one think more.
If Yuanzhou Lu had not seen a lot of knowledge, mental quality is still relatively good, in the sight of that scene will probably have a psychological shadow.
"So that's how it is." Wuji Gu nodded and told the same thing about his encounter with the brown-haired woman.
As for the others, I don't know if it was because they were competitors, or if they already knew something in their hearts, they looked like they refused to exchange information with anyone. And also very confident, after all, they think that this is just an ordinary intermediate copy, they must have no problem to pass.
This attitude makes Yuanzhou Lu and can not help but sneer, not to mention intermediate copies, even if you let these intermediate players now go to low-level copies, it is easy to have an accident ...... these people will sooner or later pay the price for their arrogance.
Wuji Gu is indifferent, others do not want to talk about it, and he does not have much to do with it.
The crowd quietly eating dinner, suddenly a researcher at the next table suddenly changed his face, directly lying down on the ground, covering his ears, looking incomparable panic, from time to time issued a miserable scream and wailing sound.
"Not me, not ...... you don't come to me!!!"
The surrounding people immediately tried to calm the person, but it did not work, the researcher's emotions became more and more crazy, and finally actually picked up the knife used to cut food on the table next to him, and violently stabbed himself in the heart.
With the blood spurting out, the researcher's face finally showed a look of relief, and his death was surprisingly peaceful.
The other people next to him looked at him with a very complicated look, more than sympathy, they seem to be more worried about themselves, and in the midst of the fear, it is actually vaguely with a little envy.
This discovery couldn't help but creep out the players. What were they all envious of? Could it be that for these people, death is some kind of relief instead?
The bodies of the researchers were quickly taken away, and the scene was cleaned up, and everything was actually quickly restored to peace. Other researchers were also full of numbness, as if it was not a person who had just died.
Players because of this sudden change of expression steeped up, from the attitude of these people they can infer that such things must have happened many times before, so these people are so numb.
At this time, Director Aona Fei also rushed over and quickly reassured the crowd, saying that she would give them a bonus, while expressing her regret over the death of the researcher, and finally saying, "Maybe it's because they've been in the confined space for too long and have psychological problems. Everyone must also be careful ah, if there is any uncomfortable place can talk to me."
The crowd smiled and nodded on the surface, and no one knew what was in their hearts.
After washing up, the group was put to rest in their respective rooms.
Wuji Gu entered the room to lie down, anyway, there is nothing to do, he closed his eyes and ready to sleep.
Between half-asleep and half-awake, he suddenly had a feeling of being submerged in water, the water flowing over his body, Wuji Gu could not help but hold his breath.
He wanted to open his eyes, but felt as if his eyelids were a thousand pounds, completely unable to move, as opposed to the song that rang out more and more clearly next to his ears at some point.
The voice was gentle and beautiful, not at all like the sound that humans can make, more like the mouth of some creature that should not exist in this world.
This song carries a deep compelling meaning, so that the consciousness of those who hear it fades away, as if sinking into the deep sea with that song.
