Chapter 3177 The Death of the Observer

This breaking news caught Li Yao's attention. .

It’s not that there’s something strange about the shooting itself. In that hegemonic country on the other side of the ocean, civilians are flooded with guns, extremists emerge in endlessly, there are ambiguous interests between high-level officials and arms dealers, and the “Gun Control Act” is frequently aborted. It happened. This year alone, Li Yao heard of at least three or five shooting incidents with heavy casualties. There was even a shooting incident at a concert where the casualties exceeded five hundred. It was an out-and-out massacre.

In the beginning, some people took the shooting as a topic of conversation, and were full of enthusiasm and spittle. With the frequent occurrence of similar incidents, no one cared more and more. Until now, no matter how big the massacre was, it was not considered major news.

Li Yao was only concerned about the location of the shooting.

Although he is not very interested in games, he also knows that "t3 Game Exhibition" is one of the three traditional game exhibitions in the world, covering everything from console games to online games and even various cutting-edge game platforms and technologies package, it can attract hundreds of thousands to millions of tourists and game fans to participate in the exhibition every year. Of course, there are also industry-leading game producers and publishers participating in the exhibition. Countless blockbuster works will be here, and even attract a large number of animation and fantasy. Entertainment lovers flocked here to play game characters and enjoy themselves. The scene was full of enthusiasm, which was ten times grander than the Yinma Lake International Animation Festival that Li Yao and Yu Xin went to a few days ago.

It is conceivable that the security measures must be very strict for such a crowded and crowded exhibition, but as long as the gunmen have a way to bring the extremely lethal fully automatic firearms into the venue and start killing wantonly, the damage caused will definitely be extremely serious.

Li Yao watched the TV, and a shaky picture appeared on the news.

The bloodied and terrified crowd, the SWAT police armed to the teeth with live ammunition, and the sirens screaming, even mixed with a few sounds like gunshots, it was a scene of the end of the world.

"The latest news is that John Garriott, the ace producer of the 'Grey Island Game Production Company' and known as the 'Father of Star Ring' was also attacked in the shooting incident. It is not clear how injured he is..."

The news introduced.

Li Yao was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't heard of the name "John Garriott" much, but he had played the game "World of Star Ring", and he had vaguely heard of the title "Father of Star Ring".

"Star Ring World" can be regarded as one of the most successful and influential games in the industry in the past ten years.

It is no longer even a simple game, but worthy of the name. With the joint efforts of John Garriott and countless gamers, it has been created into a world close to the real, and has become a youthful memory of a generation.

The original "Star Ring Rise War" was just a simple shooting game, but it was widely acclaimed for its realistic rendering of the alien world and the lifelike description of the alien race. The Darkest Hour of the Ring, The High Throne of the Ring, The Sons of Liberty of the Ring, Brotherhood of the Ring, etc., a series of multi-platform, multi-type games, almost every sequel or expansion piece is very It was successful, and a lot of novels, comics, and fans were derived from it. Last year, the first game-adapted movie was released. Although it was a mediocre work of average quality, it also harvested a lot of money with the help of more than ten years of popularity accumulation. A wave of box office.

Li Yao, Zhao Kai and Yu Xin also went to see this adaptation movie called "Star Ring Origin" last year, and usually played a few games about "Star Ring World", so they know this information.

It is said that at this year's "t3 Game Show", "Father of Star Ring" John Garriott will disclose more details of the latest heavyweight work of "Star Ring World", "The End of Star Ring". The completion of the game has exceeded 70%.

This work is not only the quintessence of his and "Gray Island Game Production Company"'s ten years of hard work and painstaking efforts, but also has already spent hundreds of millions of production costs, exceeding the cost of Hollywood's heavyweight special effects blockbusters. It is not a gamble , is also the undisputed trump card of this year's "t3 Game Show". Although it has not been 100% completed, it has already attracted countless "Star Ring fans" to "realize their dreams".

No wonder the shooter chose to do it near the booth of "Star Ring World", which can indeed cause the greatest degree of damage.

"Star Ring World" also has quite a few special forums in China. Li Yao thought about it, and searched for one on the Internet with his mobile phone. When he clicked on it, sure enough, all the posts on the homepage were discussing what just happened at the "t3 Game Show". Bloody shooting.

The information in the forum is naturally more abundant than the news.

Many "Star Ring fans" are on the other side of the ocean, participating in a series of experience activities at the "Star Ring World" booth, and interacting closely with the "Father of Star Ring" and other game production masters.

Originally, with a bit of a flaunting and sharing mentality, they sent a live interactive post, but they didn't expect to encounter a tragedy.

Through the introduction of some posts, Li Yao had a deeper understanding of John Garriott, the "Father of Star Ring", and the whole "Star Ring World".

It should be said that since the birth of video games as a form of entertainment, it has been inseparable from concepts such as science fiction, outer space, alien creatures, etc., from the earliest "Space Invaders" to the later "Contra" and "Warcraft" , and so on, all cannot escape the shadow of science fiction, fantasy and magic.

Before the "Star Ring World", there were endless game works describing space wars, alien races in the star sea, all kinds of strange aliens and even the ultimate mystery of the universe, and there were many well-made masterpieces.

But the series "Star Ring World" is based on the detailed description of alien races, the extremely solid alien history deduction, the thrilling and reasonable plot... a bloody way out of countless works of the same type.

And all this is due to the gold medal producer, John Garriott, the "Father of Star Ring", who used his imagination beyond ordinary people and solid knowledge of physics, biology, and astronomy to describe an extremely gorgeous, The flesh and blood of the new world is the well-deserved soul of the "Star Ring World".

Many game reviewers even said that they doubt that John Garriott is an alien disguised as a human. If there is such a "star ring" where tens of thousands of races coexist in the depths of the star sea, and he is one of them, how could it be possible? How would you describe such a world?

Even John Garriott himself said that he had had countless bizarre dreams. In the dream, a ring-shaped cosmic city larger than the entire solar system appeared, and countless alien races lived in it. He was inspired by the dream, Just made such a game, no, a world!

"I'm like a mirror."

John Garriott once said, "Or, an unconscious 'observer' that sends all the information that the universe sends into my brain, and reflects it all."

Li Yao sighed.

At any rate, I have played games made by others and watched remakes of movies. It is really embarrassing that such a talented game producer has encountered misfortune.

After refreshing the webpage, a new post popped up. If Li Yao read it correctly, it has only been posted for two or three minutes, and there are hundreds of replies.

This is a video post, and the name of the post is "Straight hit, the moment 'Father of Star Ring' was shot"!

Li Yao became very curious, and when he clicked on it, it was a short video shot by a "star ring fan" with his mobile phone on the spot. The middle-aged man in the center, wearing a promotional T-shirt and jeans, looks very casual, but has extremely deep eyes. Naturally, he is "Father of Star Ring" John Garriott.

Li Yao's English level is not very good, not to mention that there was a lot of people at the scene, and there was too much interference. Under the bombardment of harsh noise, who could hear clearly what the father of the star ring was saying?

Fortunately, someone has thoughtfully translated the video below into Chinese. Even though there are some mistakes and omissions, I can barely see the general meaning.

"I have a dream that I have been dreaming for twenty years. It has penetrated into my brain and bone marrow and has become a part of my life."

Pointing to his temple, John Garriott said, "Some people say that I am an alien who got into the skin of the earthlings. I also feel this way. In the deepest part of my brain, there is always a voice screaming and roaring." , roaring, urging me to tell you everything I know, to share my dreams with you, not to let me alone, but to let thousands of people dream together.

"So, there is the 'Star Ring World'.

"This twenty-year dream has spawned countless works about the 'Star Ring', but instead of dimming and dissipating, it has become more and more vivid, clearer, and larger. I even feel that , One day, the 'Star Ring', which is bigger than the temple, will jump out of my brain!

""The Battle of the Star Ring End" is such a great work composed of real dreams, it will lead all of us to find the ultimate mystery about the star ring, and even about the universe, I promise everyone"

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

When the video was shot here, there was a sudden burst of gunfire behind the photographer.

The crowd was in a commotion, and the camera trembled frantically. At a certain moment of shaking, a few bloody flowers burst out from the chest of John Garriott on the stage. With a terrified expression, the whole person fell backwards. .

The video ends here.

Li Yao was dripping with cold sweat.

For some reason, he felt that the bullet not only hit John Garriott's chest, but also hit his chest hard, completely tearing his heart apart.

With slightly trembling hands, he refreshed the webpage again, and a new post with a bold title appeared before his eyes.

latest news.

"Father of the Star Ring" John Garriott was declared dead in the local hospital because of a serious gunshot wound!
