Chapter 49: Master, Are You Finally Neglecting Your Duties?
"What a pitiful child."
"This makes me so angry."
Chen Ye, who was observing in God mode, witnessed Night Song being severely beaten and then decapitated by Ye Qiu with a sword.
It’s not really his fault, as his abilities in school were not very strong in the beginning.
He also didn’t learn any related active skills in school.
It can be said that besides transferring earlier than others, Night Song currently has almost no advantage.
After all, everyone’s equipment levels have increased. Who doesn’t have metal weapons and armor?
But his passive skill of resilience is still strong, at least when it comes to fighting other players.
Night Song was unlucky to pick a fight with a reborn person. Why did he have to confront them head-on?
Isn’t he just becoming a stepping stone for others?
Chen Ye initially quite liked this boy because he was the only player to receive the inheritance of the Necromancy School outside the tower.
But now, it seems he can’t defeat the reborn person created by his own ally after all.
"But this makes things more interesting, Ye Qiu. Don’t disappoint me, I look forward to the day you reach the top of the tower."
With that said, Chen Ye closed his eyes directly and returned to reality.
Everything on the island was running normally, the Ghost Shadow Corps were always busy.
At that moment, a Shadow Soldier suddenly picked up a mobile phone and handed it to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye took the phone and saw a video on it.
The video showed a masked man taking control of the underground mafia in San Francisco.
Apparently, this video was recorded by the Ghost Shadow Corps with the phone.
Chen Ye didn’t pay much attention to this, "No need to worry, just keep an eye on the folks from the Investigation Bureau, remind me after they have taken care of this mask."
"I’ll throw another mask to distract them."
The Shadow Soldier on the side raised his hands in agreement.
Chen Ye frowned at this, "So you’re saying I’m overthinking it. According to your observation, all of them combined are no match for the power of Bai Qi’s mask?"
"And Old Man Hai now plays games in the office every day?"
"Haha, it seems I have indeed overestimated them."
"Well, if they stop here, I’ll take the host of Bai Qi’s mask back with me."
"It’s time for me to support a few puppets in plain sight."
。。。
Donghai City.
Zero Investigation Bureau.
Cheng Haixing slowly took off his glasses and asked the man beside him, "How long have I been in the game this time?"
The man replied, "2 hours and 25 minutes."
Cheng Haixing furrowed his brow, "But I feel like a whole 24 hours have passed. This technology that can accelerate consciousness is truly terrifying…"
"If this is a game released by an alien civilization, it shows that we are no match for them!"
"In other words, if this civilization were to go to war with us, we wouldn’t even be able to resist."
"If they can control time, it means that our proudest weapons are just motionless scrap metal in their eyes."
"To them, everything in our world, including us, is just lifeless and motionless."
"I really hope this game is not a creation of some alien civilization, but that we ourselves have mastered this technology…"
"Hehe."
"Let’s just pretend I was dreaming during the day."
When Cheng Haixing shook his head repeatedly, the middle-aged man beside him smiled and said, "During the time you entered the game, our experts have calculated various possibilities about this game."
"The good news is, our experts unanimously believe that this game was not created by any alien civilization."
"For specific conclusions, you can take a look at this report."
"Our experts believe that this game is likely from another dimension’s real world."
"Someone has connected these two worlds, using this login device as a bridge, allowing our consciousness to enter another world."
"Because the two worlds are in different dimensions, with various different parameters, the flow of time naturally moves faster than our world."
Cheng Haixing looked at the report in front of him and nodded thoughtfully, "If that’s the case, it makes sense."
"This can be considered a good conclusion."
"Because the other side does not have the technology to control time, even though our technology is behind, we still have ways to fight back."
"So, continuing with this assumption, I don’t think they have the technology for wormhole jumping and time travel."
"The reason this game can connect to our world is probably because people from our world and the other side have established a connection."
"It is currently unknown who this person is, although it is just a hypothesis…but highly likely."
"I still don’t know for sure what their purpose is in doing all this, I can only wait to explore more information in the game before making the next conclusion."
"By the way, have we found where Bai Qi’s mask is?"
The man next to him nodded, "According to the report from the frontline investigators, the host of the Bai Qi mask has left the country."
"Abroad?"
"Yes."
"We don’t have the authority to enforce laws in other countries, let the foreigners handle the mask issue themselves, you keep an eye on it, and wake me up immediately if you find other masks."
"Oh, call Jiang Quan back."
Just then, a young man suddenly walked in through the door, "I just came back, do you miss me, master?"
Cheng Haixing smiled at Jiang Quan, "I have a new task for you."
Jiang Quan was puzzled, "What task?"
Cheng Haixing, "Find a group of investigators to go to The Sealed Land’s game official website to reserve closed beta slots."
Jiang Quan, "Uh… Master, are you finally slacking off?"
Cheng Haixing, "This is a task."
Jiang Quan, "A task is playing games?"
Cheng Haixing, "It’s not playing games, we are investigating information about an unknown civilization."
Jiang Quan, "What about the mask?"
Cheng Haixing, "Do you think you can find other masks by wandering around aimlessly like this?"
"When those Mask Hosts want to come out, they will naturally come out. Searching blindly like this is just a waste of time."
Jiang Quan, "So, playing games is not a waste of time?"
Cheng Haixing, "Haha, you’re actually right. When we play games, we are actually making use of our time."
"Through our testing, we found that the time speed in The Sealed Land game is 1:10 compared to our world."
"In other words, we can use this game to have more time to think and even learn."
Jiang Quan, "But if we don’t know the other party’s intentions and use their technology to our advantage, could it lead to irreversible consequences?"
Cheng Haixing, "Do you know where the energy we use comes from?"
Jiang Quan, "I don’t know."
Cheng Haixing, "Do you know if energy can have irreversible consequences?"
Jiang Quan, "I don’t think so, as no one has discovered any negative effects so far."
Cheng Haixing, "Yes, if there are no issues currently, then energy and this game are the same."
"As long as it can be helpful to us and bring convenience, we should make use of this advantage."
Jiang Quan, "Alright…"
