Chapter 623

Standing next to the river tree is Akira Toyama, the current president of Tokyo's local Red Moon-level player team [Red Club]. After experiencing the almost complete collapse of the entire team, and then having some members rescued by Gao Hai's cracked copy, Toyama Akira himself has become a veteran among the existing players in [Red Club], and was recently selected to become President.

In sight, as the plane landed and stopped, the cabin door was opened, and a group of people who looked strangely dressed in ordinary people's eyes, but in the eyes of distant mountains all exuded the aura of gamers, got off the plane, either loosely or in a queue. Marched neatly.

After the [Moyu Gang] confirmed that Tokyo would become a key area through the prophecy ability, these players came to support basically every day, and today's group is the Chinese organized by the [Moyu Gang] itself. The player alliance is also the largest support received by the Tokyo area.

"This group of supporting players from China should be the last batch of large-scale assistance. As a result, the number of players in the entire Tokyo area has officially exceeded 10,000, although most of them are Dusk with average strength. level players, but if the organization can be guaranteed, it can be said to be an extraordinary force. However, China is really too scary, hiding so many players..."

There was a bit of emotion in Toyama Akira's words.

If calculated based on the player network that runs around the world and is driven by the power of strange stories, the number of active players in the world today is only about two thousand.

Originally, Akira Toyama thought that even though there might actually be many players who didn't even know about this website, the total number of people should be relatively accurate. After all, there is so much useful information in the player forum, so everyone should register an account on this forum honestly, right?

As a result, in this operation to support Tokyo, the Chinese district brought out a pure player team of more than 6,000 people, and more than a thousand support players came from Europe and the United States. There were even dozens of players from various places in Neon who had never been in the game before. The arrival of the player organization that appeared on the player forum shocked Akira Toyama with a wave of explosions.

There is no doubt that these players who suddenly appeared know the information in the player forum, but their registration records cannot be found on the forum, which means that they all have ways to bypass login authentication and obtain information. And these players who have the ability to bypass authentication and hide themselves are probably the wealth accumulated by human civilization in the two and a half years since the [Sacrifice Game] has been running. But now, when the real crisis gradually emerged, they finally revealed themselves.

So the more than 2,000 players who usually log in to the forum are actually more than 2,000 honest people, right?

Most of the members of the large-scale player forces that are truly organized have never appeared on that forum at all. Only those who are stupid and have no access to the real secret organization are carelessly active in that shabby forum and think that it is difficult. I feel like a very rare lucky person when I find a companion.

Moreover, although player organizations like the [Moyu Gang] are exposed in the open, they are actually in constant contact with players hiding in the dark. They just act like everyone else and just pretend to be there, right?

We [Red Club] worked hard and thought we had jumped into the ranks of first-class masters, but in the end we were kept in the dark?

Yuan Shanming was in a bad mood when he thought of this.

He realized that although there was a strong information shielding effect between players and ordinary people, the power of the state probably still played a role in it. Many players relied on or directly joined the state system to organize players. The operations have been planned in a deeper and more subtle way. Especially on the Chinese side, when the thousands of players came out, to be honest, Toyama Akira felt like he was numb. You must know that these are players sent to support Tokyo. The real large forces still stay in China, and they have to be dispersed to various cities to monitor and prevent dangers. Under such circumstances, more than 6,000 people can be sent out, so it is difficult to say how many people are hidden in the mainland.

How many players are hidden there? Players of this size can easily clean out most countries in the world with the right obsession, right?

But there’s no need to worry too much.

If there are thousands of players hidden in China, Toyama Akira feels that it is still necessary to worry about whether these players intend to occupy neighboring countries and turn several areas, including Neon, into their own back garden. .

But now it seems that the total number of players in the Huaxia region may be tens of thousands or even tens of thousands. So Yuanshan Ming feels that Neon cannot be Huaxia's goal. It's not okay for so many people to do whatever they want. They can't be here to beat him anyway. That would be too wasteful.

"Mr. Gao is here."

Xiaoheshu suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Oh, he's here. As expected, if the [Moyu Gang] comes, will he still greet him personally?"

Akira Toyama quickly noticed the three figures heading towards the passenger plane, and locked onto the man who was yawning and looking very casual.

Gao Hai.

This person Toyama Akira is certain that he will never forget him in his lifetime.

With the strength to clear two dungeons of the highest Dark Night level difficulty, he directly broke into the top Red Moon level dungeon. Not only did he pass the level perfectly and became the first powerful person in the world to destroy the Red Moon level dungeon, but he also saved almost everyone who died in the dungeon. players, and even Toyama Akira himself was one of the people saved. Such a thing is almost miraculous in Yuan Shanming's eyes. As for the small river tree next to him, although there seems to be no problem in his words, Yuan Shanming knows that this person has regarded Gao Hai as a person to a certain extent. The gods were worshiped.

Maybe Tokyo will become the key because this man chose this place.

Toyama Akira suddenly had such a ridiculous idea in his heart, and subconsciously felt that this guess might be correct, and couldn't help but secretly laugh a few times.

At the same time, Gao Hai, who was walking on the airport, yawned again and looked down at the two girls, Yili and Kita, who were following him.

"Okay, don't be so sad."

As he said this, he reached out and rubbed the heads of the two girls.

"Although no valuable clues have been found yet, at least Miss Qingshan has not been forgotten yet. The problem has not yet become truly serious. Don't put pressure on yourself."

After finishing his words, Ichiri nodded hard, while Kita didn't react much and just sighed softly.

As for Gao Hai himself who spoke, his expression was actually not very good-looking. After all, he spent the whole morning leading Iris Kita and two people to investigate Nanami Aoyama. As a result, he went to several places without finding any clues. In the end, he could only return without success to meet the [Moyu Gang] and others. Helpers from China.

What a headache. Where did she go? It’s not really in the [hospital], is it? If that was the case, it would be possible to save her only after truly finding a way to enter the realm of the self-proclaimed god.

For some reason, Gao Hai had a vague premonition.

Although it is currently possible to determine that Nanami Aoyama is "alive" through the phenomenon of information obscuration, the fact that there is no such information and there are doubts pointing to the [hospital] still makes Gao Hai feel very uneasy and makes him vaguely feel that it is possible Something very bad could happen.

Unfortunately, we can only take one step at a time.

While I was thinking, the mature woman in a coat in front of me had already stepped forward.

"Hey, you're in good shape."

Xiong Mi said in a calm tone, casually took out the cigarette in his mouth and pinched it out, spit out the smoke before walking to Gao Hai, and then stepped forward to say hello.

"I can see that the situation here is not bad. There are many people here."

Gao Hai said hello to Xiong Mi very casually, and then looked at the person following her.

"We meet again, Mr. Gao."

The second person to greet Gao Hai was Xiong Mi's deputy, a man called Jianbing. The man was holding a slightly worn-out laptop in one hand, and was operating the computer keyboard with his other hand as he walked. He didn't know what he was doing.

"When we first meet, Mr. Gao, and Mr. Gao's two girlfriends, you can call me 'lawyer'. This is my code name."

The third person who appeared was an unsmiling man in a suit. Just by seeing him, Gao Hai felt as heavy as if he had seen a serious teacher.

"Nice to see you here, lawyer."

Gao Hai didn't say much about the strong aura of this person. He just smiled and greeted him while recalling the information about this person in his heart.

The lawyer, who has joined the Moyu Gang since its inception, can be said to be the most senior among them. In addition to the elusive leader of the Moyu Gang, it can be said that Xiong Mi, Brother Mao and the lawyer are the three pillars that support the Moyu Gang organization. In fact, after Xiong Mi and Mao Ge were sacrificed in the copy of [Campus Mystery], it was the lawyer's own efforts that prevented the Moyu Gang from falling apart, which had suffered heavy losses.

As for the man's real name, it no longer exists. Through some kind of occult ritual, the lawyer erased his real name in exchange for greatly strengthening the [Actor's Blessing] he possessed. This blessing can be said to be one of the core abilities of the lawyer himself. Gao Hai was able to know the relevant information only after working with the Moyu Gang many times.

The first effect of this blessing is to allow the lawyer to assimilate living people through direct physical contact. The appearance of the assimilated person will be transformed into the appearance of the lawyer, and his memory and thinking will be assimilated by the lawyer himself into a copy of him, so that he can completely control his actions.

In terms of ability performance, this blessing is very similar to the virus assimilation of the villain Smith in the movie The Matrix. But compared to that ability, this blessing has a huge difference, that is, as long as the assimilation time does not exceed 6 hours, the lawyer can cancel this ability and restore the assimilated person. Not only that, no matter how seriously injured the assimilated person is during the assimilation period, as long as his life is still there, the injuries can be restored when he recovers. Of course, this recovery strength cannot achieve perfect recovery after actual testing. Only ordinary people without any ability can recover 100%.

But it is precisely because of this that this ability is particularly useful in the current situation. After all, if you want to protect the tens of millions of people in this city, this ability of a lawyer may have miraculous effects.

In addition, since the source of the blessing is an actor, this blessing naturally has a similar effect. By activating the second ability of blessing, the lawyer can play the role of a trickster by contacting and preserving the aura of the trickster. In the acting state, regardless of whether she acts like it or not, the people and tricksters around her will temporarily identify with her acting identity. Moreover, this effect will be expanded in scope, so that other people within a certain range around you can follow you and act as a group action monster.

The lawyer himself has only this blessing, and the blessing level is dark night level. To be honest, it is rare to see a player with multiple blessings like Xiong Mi. Only Gao Hai could meet a Hongyue-level player like Yili who is powerful, easy to coax and chase.

But speaking of it, compared to the blessing of a powerful player, Gao Hai was actually more concerned about the thing the lawyer was carrying at the moment.

That...should be a book, right?

At least the cover of the book has the words "Law" written on it.

But why are there metal corners on the four sides of this book? And why is there a long iron chain connected to the side of this book? Is this really a book? Why does it look more like a meteor hammer? Are you really not here to cosplay Rock Pillar?

Gao Hai wanted to complain.

But before he could say anything more, after feeling the gazes of the players behind him, he turned his gaze and found that he saw someone he knew.

"Sun Dajun? Well, and Wang Gui?"

Gao Hai was a little surprised to find that the team of dusk-level players who came to support this time actually included people he had met in Baichuan Apartment and Red Nut Gray Cave.

Chapter 53: The approaching shadow under the rain curtain and the investigation of the Throne of Thought

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

Continuous rain has surrounded this gloomy city.

Gao Hai has considered using his spiritual power to directly disperse the hurricane approaching Tokyo. It is not easy to do this, but with Gao Hai's current strength, it is not impossible to try. But after discussing with others, Zhen Fei was worried that this would trigger more serious abnormal global weather changes, so she advised Gao Hai not to do this. After all, flooding may seem dangerous, but it does not pose much of a threat to the players. Several completed shelters have also been waterproofed in advance, so there will be no problems.

But is there really no problem?

Although he flew to the center of the hurricane for reconnaissance and confirmed that there was no smell of weird things, Gao Hai was still a little uneasy. He always felt that the occurrence of such bad weather at this time was actually an omen in a sense. It's just that changing the weather will indeed have a huge impact on the ecosystem on the entire planet's surface. Today's Gao Hai can't guarantee that it will be foolproof, so he still doesn't take action after careful consideration.

"Then these areas will be left to you."

In the office on the [Market] side, Xiao Heshu stretched out his hand to draw an area on the Tokyo city map hanging on the wall, and then looked at Xiong Mi and others behind him.

"No problem, our people can be responsible for the evacuation and protection of people in this area. However, the connection with the surrounding areas is also very important. In a moment, you can give me the contact information of the person in charge of the area adjacent to our people."

Xiong Mi crossed his arms and stared at the map. After looking at it for a while, he nodded and spoke.

"Of course, the relevant personnel list and contact information have been sent."

Xiaoheshu nodded immediately and answered very skillfully and naturally.

Jianbing was sitting on his seat and operating a computer. The computer screen was covered in a distorted color, and he didn't know what was going on. The lawyer stood leaning against the wall without saying a word, looking like he was deep in thought.

Gao Hai, who was listening, turned his attention to the tall figure standing quietly next to the lawyer, and looked at the fourth Red Moon-level player from the [Moyu Gang] who came to support Tokyo.

This is a quite mysterious player. If Xiong Mi hadn't taken the initiative to introduce him, Gao Hai estimated that the other player might not have any intention of showing up at all. Even now, this man is just standing quietly in the shadows, motionless like a sculpture.

I heard from Xiong Mi that this player's name is Shao Ye, and he is a top soldier of the "Moyu Gang". She is basically responsible for withstanding the greatest pressure for the team every time. In terms of combat power alone, she may even be stronger than Xiong Mi, but compared to Xiong Mi Mao who can lead the team, although this player has excellent confrontation ability and sharp reactions in critical situations, she is unlikely to be recognized by team members. Follower, her own behavior style is also very extreme, so most of the time she is just a warrior who follows orders.

Gao Hai didn't see clearly the appearance of this cold and silent elder sister. She was wearing a dark cloak that looked like it was burnt, and her face was basically completely covered by the cloak. The cloak seemed to be a powerful obsessive object that could shield it from outside prying eyes. Even Gao Hai couldn't see through it without actively activating his mental power. By the way, this player is 188cm tall, which is 4 centimeters taller than Gao Hai. And although she could tell she was a woman from her body shape and frame, judging from her vein-covered arms exposed outside her cloak, Gao Hai suspected that she was probably a strong man.

Four players from the Moyu Gang came to the Tokyo area together. Considering the defense issues of China, it can be said that the Moyu Gang has sent out as many members as possible. And in addition to the Moyu Gang, there are many other players who come to support, and many of these people seem to want to get to know Gao Hai.

While thinking, a business card was gently pushed to Gao Hai's side.

Ichiri, who was not used to the combat meeting with dozens of people, was startled and leaned towards Gao Hai. Kita, who was sitting on the other side of Gao Hai, turned around with some confusion and looked at the person who pushed the business card to Gao Hai. As for Gao Hai himself, he picked up the business card and found that there was only a Tai Chi diagram on it, and three gold-plated fonts of [Minghuijian] were printed on it, followed by a contact number.

Turning his head and looking at the person who pushed the business card, Gao Hai found that the other party was a woman with short hair and dressed very centrally. When she saw Gao Hai looking at her, she nodded slightly with a calm expression and introduced herself to him.

"Captain of the Minghuijian team, Yan Hui."

Judging from the aura, this is a Dark Night-level player, but the aura is very close to the level of Red Moon-level players. Gao Hai estimated that she should be a well-ranked figure among the group of players who came to support, otherwise she would not sit near him.

Alice's spiritual power was almost immediately transmitted to Gao Hai's head, and then he knew some information about this player.

In the light and dark, the Dark Night level player organization is the backbone of the Chinese player team that came to support. She has a Dark Night level blessing that gives the characteristics of light and dark areas, which can concentrate the illumination range in a certain area, and make the players in the light range gain mental resistance, and the players in the dark range can improve their physical recovery ability. At the same time, the strange creatures in the light will be suppressed in their ability to move, and the strange creatures in the dark range will be suppressed in their perception ability, and it will become more difficult to find the players who are also in the dark range.

It is a blessing that is very suitable for team action, no wonder she became the captain. Well, according to Alice's unboxing information, Yan Hui came to Tokyo with her partner Qin Shou and several teammates who have been together for a while. This team just successfully passed a dual-core Dark Night level copy two months ago. Now it has further consolidated its own strength and has the possibility of further challenging the Red Moon level copy. If it weren't for the impending destruction, perhaps in two or three months, there would be a new Red Moon-level player team in the Huaxia region.

So, this group of people has now reached the level I reached when I passed the Red Nut Gray Cave, ahahahaha. In addition, the name of this partner is too weird, it sounds like an insult.

While thinking, Gao Hai looked around, and Alice quickly opened the box and revealed the information of each player to Gao Hai.

The Dark Night-level player organization, the Sunflower Team, the captain Yu Qingshan.

Well, this is also a player team that has mobilized most of its members. In addition, Wang Gui, the new player that Gao Hai met in the cave dungeon, is also in this team. It seems that he was favored because of his blasting ability. It can be said that he has a pretty strong thigh.

Gao Hai turned his head again and looked at the players in other directions.

The Dark Night-level player organization, the Construction Club, is one of the lower-level organizations of the Neon local organization [Market], and the president is Gong Xianwu.

According to Alice's box opening information, this player is actually an international student from China. He became a player after marrying the daughter of a local decoration company owner and inheriting the company, and then simply used [Architecture Club] as the name of the player team he founded.

In addition, there are many other people. Judging from Alice's box opening results, most of the Dark Night-level players who came are already well-known masters. As for the Dusk-level players, although their strength is not too strong, they are also superior in number, and those who can be selected to come are at least people who can obey the command and listen to the instructions, and there will be no situation of deliberately going against the commander.

By the way, Alice's box opening was not opened through the information on the player forum, but during the time when Gao Hai was sitting in the conference room, she hacked into the mobile phones, computers and other communication devices of these players and queried them one by one. Gao Hai actually wanted to stop it, but Alice did not communicate with him in advance. By the time Gao Hai knew what this thing was doing, she had already packaged everyone's information into Gao Hai's brain and ran away again.

Ever since I let Alice out, she has never stopped.

Gao Hai, who wanted to catch Alice, sighed in his heart for a few times, and then reluctantly put his attention back to the combat meeting.

After writing down the areas that the players were responsible for, the names of the specific persons in charge and the players who were active in the relevant areas, Gao Hai took Ichiri and Kita to leave the [market] and went to several places to investigate clues about Aoyama Nanami, but still found nothing.

Maybe we have to wait until the crisis of the [hospital] is resolved before we can find clues?

Thinking of this, Gao Hai went to the new base of the [historians] that night, an underground safe zone set up by the [Red Society] in downtown Tokyo. The defense here is much more strict than that of the abandoned hospital at the beginning, and the key reason for making layers of protection is naturally the [Throne of Thinking] stored in it at this time.

"Mr. Gao, I'm glad to see you. Our people have been investigating the instrument for a long time with the historian players, but we have never found the problem."

Toyama Akira, Kenta Hayashibe and Ren Nanagawa greeted Gao Hai, who came alone, at the entrance. Seeing these old acquaintances from [Campus Mysteries] copies, Gao Hai was also a little emotional, and they chatted while walking. After entering the fifth underground floor of this inconspicuous building, Gao Hai saw Tangyuan himself who was staying on this floor. Then he entered the sealed ground and formally saw the compound obsession thought created by the historian. throne.

Although in Gao Hai's opinion, it would be more accurate to call it the "Throne of Torture Instruments".

"In order to assemble this thing, we used a variety of different mental obsessions. From probes that penetrate the brain, to syringes that go deep into blood vessels, electric shock equipment, heat-sensing equipment, etc. All the obsessions assembled in it They are all types that can stimulate the user's senses and mental strength. After being activated together, according to our calculations, the resonance of these obsessions can produce effects that are very different from their original functions. However, this effect has not been tested so far. "

Standing next to the blood-stained chair that linked various ominous-looking instruments, Tangyuan introduced the situation to Gao Hai while shaking his head and sighing from time to time. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the progress of the experiment.

"Are they all props from hospital-type dungeons?"

Gao Hai didn't pay too much attention to the purpose of this thing, and directly asked about the source.

"That's not entirely true. Most of the props actually come from mental hospitals. This should be different from hospitals, right?"

After hearing this question, Tangyuan frowned and thought for a while, and then gave an answer that she couldn't even convince herself of.

"Continue to seal it."

Gao Hai, who had no intention of sitting on it, gave this answer after thinking about it.

He used his mental power to carefully sense this strange creation assembled from dozens or hundreds of obsessive objects, but he could not find anything special. He only roughly confirmed that all the obsessive objects were really functioning. , should be able to greatly increase the user's mental strength, forming a very powerful "amplification" effect. Just as a price, I am afraid that by that time the user will be in a state worse than death, and the pain may be difficult for even players with strong willpower to endure.

I don’t know what the purpose of making such a thing is?

Being forcibly linked to one's own spirit by so many obsessions, a weaker player might be brain-dead on the spot. Among the powerful players, even a strong player like Xiong Mi would probably have a hard time affording the consumption of such a machine, and he might be drained of energy within an hour.

On the premise that it is difficult to afford the consumption of obsessions, there is another crucial issue, which is that the [hospital] seems to be able to contact the people who use this machine through some unknown means, thereby exerting influence on them. Influence. Just like the player whose face was hollowed out and turned into a puppet, after being completely transformed, it is equivalent to death. Even Gao Hai can only choose to completely eliminate it. There is no other way.
