Chapter 5 Real Virtual Reality

Just as we were loading a family of three into the dormant warehouse for shipment, the three of us heard the call bell and started to choose to go offline one after another.

"Nerve connection disconnection countdown 3, 2, 1..." The scene in front of her eyes went dark. Asamiya Athena's mother, Inoue Sakura, immediately felt her vision light up again. After pausing for two seconds, she got used to it and went offline. After the brief dizziness caused by the redirection of the nervous system, Inoue Sakura sat up on the bed, then held the edge of the helmet with both hands and pulled the helmet off her head with an upward force.

After her vision recovered, Inoue Sakura looked around. The hotel room was still the same, but she always felt that something was not right, but she quickly ignored it. After sitting up from the bed, he walked out of the bedroom to the living room and saw his son and daughter walking out of their respective rooms. There was no one in the living room outside, and the three of them were very confused. It is said that he was woken up by the call bell just now, and the call bell is manual. Someone must press the call button next to the person wearing the helmet to activate the in-game call bell to remind the player to go offline. But when the three people heard the ringtone going offline, no one saw it, which made them feel quite strange.

Just when the three people were a little confused, the door to the living room suddenly opened, and the three people's attention was immediately attracted by Athena Asamiya who entered the door. Seeing the eldest daughter in the family who has been working away from home for a long time, the three people in the family were a little excited, so they did not pay too much attention to some details. For example, Asamiya Athena's expression was quite strange. She has been looking around to observe the environment in the room, but she is not particularly concerned about her family. This is completely different from the normal reaction of someone who has not seen her family for a long time. However, because the three of them were in excitement, they did not notice these abnormal reactions, and Asamiya Athena quickly returned to normal and started chatting with her mother, brother and sister.

After a family of four chatted for a while in the hotel room, Sakura Inoue suddenly remembered us, so she asked Athena Asamiya: "Athena, where are your friends? Didn't they say they wanted to eat together?"

Athena Asamiya was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses and said, "Oh, they are actually not my friends."

"Not a friend?" Sakura Inoue was obviously stunned for a moment.

Athena Asamiya quickly explained: "Those are actually the superiors of our company, and the man among them is our boss. Those women are all senior executives."

"Your boss?" Inoue Sakura asked in surprise: "Why does your boss use a military vehicle with weapons on it?"

"This will be difficult to explain for a while, but don't worry. It's not illegal. The company I work for now is actually not the original one."

"You changed jobs?" Asamiya Athena's sister asked in surprise.

Athena Asamiya nodded and said: "Yes! You also know, right? The market outside is sluggish right now, and companies are closing down one after another. Our original company couldn't withstand the pressure and closed down, but I found the next company in advance. So I didn’t tell you, for fear that you would be worried. The person just now is the boss of our new company, which has a military background. And its main project is arms. Many things developed by the company’s weapons department will be in the company first. Experiment, so the boss uses armored vehicles from the company, and so do the guns."

"No wonder there are robots in the car!" Asamiya Athena's brother said. This boy seemed to be a different person in front of this sister, as if he was afraid of her.

"Okay. Let's not talk about this for now. I will take you to eat first. I have something to do later. I will take some time tomorrow to explain to you why I suddenly called you here. Don't ask now. Anyway, this The matter involves some black information from the government, and I can’t tell you now. Don’t tell others casually, otherwise someone might die!”

"Is it so serious?" Asamiya Athena's sister asked, "What on earth could kill someone?"

"Anyway, I really can't say it now. You just have to listen to my arrangements. Can I still harm you?"

"We believe in you." Inoue Sakura said very seriously: "Athena, you have always been the pillar of our family. If we don't believe in you, who else can you believe? Anyway, we will know tomorrow. We are not in a hurry."

In the following time, a family of four went to the hotel restaurant and had a super sumptuous meal. Except for Asamiya Athena, the other three people in the family were very surprised by the luxury of the meal, and it made them a little confused. It's just that the taste of this meal is a bit unusual. They have never eaten anything so delicious before. If it weren't for the fact that I had just taken off my gaming helmet not long ago, I would have thought I was in the game. After all, only the food provided by the high-end restaurants in the game would be so delicious. You must know that the ingredients in reality are difficult to be perfect due to various reasons. Some are due to the storage time of the ingredients, some are technical issues of the chef, and there are also changes in the various materials themselves, so it is difficult to achieve the ultimate mark for delicious food, but in the game The sense of taste is virtual. Just give the brain a deceptive signal to produce a variety of extremely perfect flavors. This is why everyone knows that the food eaten in the restaurant in the game will not become nutritious at all, but they still like to spend a lot of money to eat a big meal in the game instead of just using steamed buns to solve the hunger problem. After all, humankind's pursuit of food has long since left the stage of survival needs. Nowadays, everyone pays attention to eating well. Except for African refugees, it is estimated that not many people will eat just to avoid starving to death.

The delicious dinner was completed in a pleasant atmosphere for the family. Then Asamiya Athena sent everyone back to the room and briefly said that she would come back tomorrow to explain the situation to them, and then left the suite on the grounds that she still had work.

Backing up and leaving the room, she closed the door to the living room. Asamiya Athena leaned against the closed door and showed a warm smile. This expression is usually hard to see on her face. You must know that she is a real ninja. Cold-bloodedness is the basic requirement.

Just when Asamiya Athena was leaning against the door and recalling the warm time she had just spent with her mother, brother, and sister, the corridor outside the room suddenly began to gradually darken, and then the walls and floors began to disappear, replaced by darkness. Only the edge of the corner between the wall and the floor at the edge of the corridor and the edge of the door frame can still be barely seen. The whole world seems to have turned into a stick figure style. Color disappears completely and only lines remain.

This astonishing change should have scared people to death, but Asamiya Athena turned a blind eye to everything in front of her as if she hadn't seen it. She just kept smiling, raised her hands and placed them on empty places on both sides of her head, and then lifted them up as if she had grabbed something. The surrounding pictures suddenly changed, the black line world disappeared, and the picture that appeared in front of him was that of a moving car. Ling and Xiao Chun sat on either side of her. Yeyue was still sitting in the back seat, and Masamoto Matsumoto was sitting in the front passenger seat.

"Done?" Masamoto turned around and asked.

Athena Asamiya nodded and handed the helmet in her hand to Yeyue behind her, then looked at me in the reversing mirror and said very solemnly: "Ziri, thank you!"

"We are all our own people, so being polite is not a problem for me." I said with a smile.

Athena Asamiya said with a serious expression: "Although it may be just a little effort for you, it is a life-saving grace for me. Without your help, our family of four can only leave three at most, and someone will inevitably be killed. Leave it behind. I really can’t think of what I would do if something like that really happened!”

"Actually, this is not as exaggerated as you think. Now the plan has changed a bit. The immigration plan may need to be postponed, so the Japanese government should be able to take away more people. Of course. I don't guarantee that they will spend the remaining time building More spacecraft. But at least formally things are getting better."

"No matter what, I will remember your help." After Asamiya Athena finished speaking, she asked: "By the way, if so many people are picked up at once this time, won't the Japanese government say anything?"

"Lend them some courage." Yeyue said arrogantly.

I smiled and replied: "There is indeed some movement in Japan, but how can you say this kind of thing... In fact, we are helping them reduce trouble. These guys feel as if we have taken advantage of them. To put it simply, they want to take advantage of it. Do some good."

"I've cost you money!" Asamiya Athena immediately apologized.

I laughed and said, "Hahaha! You don't think I really bought your family out with benefits, do you?"

Athena Asamiya looked at me with a surprised expression and asked, "Are you planning to sneak out?"

"Smuggling? No, no, no. I will leave in the open and see what they dare to do to us." I said and added: "By the way, we will have to trouble the Japanese government later, so we may not be able to leave with you. Don't worry. I will let people in the company deal with you. Don't worry. The Japanese government only dares to call out now. They don't dare to let them take action. "

Athena Asamiya nodded and said: "Anyway, I believe in you. Just arrange it as you say."

Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly asked: "By the way, Ziri, can we start the transformation after we go back?"

I smiled and said, "It depends on the arrangement. I don't know when it will be your turn, but your names are already in the queue. I can be sure of this."

"I'm really looking forward to the day when I can become a dragon." Asamiya Athena said: "If I could become a dragon, maybe my father wouldn't have died!"

"Don't think about it. Even if you become a dragon, you won't be able to use your power for that kind of thing." Ling said.

During our chat, the car had already driven into a large open space. This place looked like an empty space used to store containers, but at this time all the containers were piled up on both sides of the site, forming two Something like a wall stretched across both sides of the field, blocking the view outside.

After we got off the bus, we saw the convoy coming behind us one after another. One after another, vans bearing the Longyuan Group logo drove into the square, and one of them drove directly in front of us. Athena Asamiya and Masamoto Matsumoto immediately stepped forward and opened the back door of the car themselves, and saw that the sleeping cabin that had previously contained a family of three was lying inside.

That's right, Asamiya Athena's family has never been offline. They thought they met Asamiya Athena offline and had a meal together. But all that was an illusion. When they chose to go offline, they didn't really go offline. Instead, they exited "Zero" and were connected to a virtual world similar to "Zero". This virtual world is very small, with an area of ​​less than fifty square kilometers. If Asamiya Athena's family had left the hotel and walked around, they would have found that they could not leave the hotel at all, because we did not design the outside of the hotel at all. environment.

In this virtual world, only the area inside the hotel is the scope of movement, and the area within the hotel's fifty square kilometers can only be seen, which is similar to the background, and nothing else.

The reason why we chose to use this hotel to pick up and drop off all our family members in Japan is because we only created this virtual space, so if we go to other places, it is difficult to ensure that it is 100% realistic and that nothing will be discovered.

In order to avoid accidents, our choice is to lure these family members to the hotel, put them all into sleep cabins, and then bring them back to the country together. Only then will we really tell them what we really want. If they don’t want to go with us, then we will Sending them back to Japan is not a big trouble for us. On the contrary, it would be a big trouble if someone here expresses opposition and causes trouble.

Precisely because we don’t want these people to cause any trouble, we use such a system to make them think that they are in reality, but in fact they are still in the virtual network, just changing the scene.

Athena Asamiya carefully removed the three coffin-like sleeping pods from the car with the help of Matsumoto Masaga and another staff member. Several hibernation pods were removed from each vehicle in the convoy behind, and the field was suddenly filled with hibernation pods. At a glance, there were at least a thousand of them. These are actually only a small part of the total number of people. We have two other identical transportation points, and this is just one of them, so the sleeping cabin here is actually only one-third of the number of people.

After all the sleeping cabins were taken down, a huge dark shadow appeared in the night sky and slid towards this side silently.

"Nightmare 2" is the quietest transport aircraft of our Longyuan Group. It is mainly used to deliver advanced troops to enemy rear areas or bomb key targets. This kind of transport aircraft that can almost be used as a glider can keep flying for a long time in a taxiing state after turning off the engine. Because the engine is not working, it will not generate infrared signals and noise. This kind of aircraft can effectively avoid various detections such as synthetic aperture radar. The surveillance equipment can fly over the enemy's radar station silently without disturbing anyone, so it is nicknamed the God of Death in Dreams.

The first Nightmare landed on the ground as lightly as a giant feather, then slid for a short distance on the parking lot and stopped immediately. The characteristic of a glider is that it is very slow and can stop at short distances.

As soon as the plane landed, our side immediately became busy. More than a thousand sleeping pods had been installed in a storage facility like a container on wheels. Then the people in the plane pulled out the hooks and hung up the whole thing. Pull into the cabin. A Nightmare can carry about six such containers, and there are 252 sleeping cabins in one container. We only have five containers in total here, and they were all pulled onto the plane at once. After collecting the containers, everyone boarded the plane. Less than two minutes later, the plane restarted, pulling huge flames into the night sky. By the time the Japanese government found out about the restarted plane, it was already too late, because once this thing took off, it would reach such a high speed that Terrifyingly, it's just a little slower than a missile.

"Okay, everyone has been sent away, it's time to get down to business." (To be continued ~^~)
