Chapter 192 The game designer's confrontation with the virus

"I had cut out the Grand Canyon design process, otherwise there was no other option."

His voice trembled and he grinned toothily.

He moved his fingers again, and a signal came from the sleeve of the metal jacket:
"I've locked this part of the game so it can't be tampered with anymore, and I've also sealed it.

In this way, any virus attached to the control program will be infected by my virus. "

He showed his white teeth, smiled and said,
"It's called fighting fire with fire."

"This game isn't just viral," Lisa whispered.

"It's been shattered beyond recognition and we've got very serious problems here again."

Robert nodded in agreement.He raised his arm obliquely to let her see the pulsed light waves on the sleeve of the metal jacket, and said to Lisa:
"According to this speculation, the canyon and lightning that appeared earlier belong to certain parts of the game."

"Yeah, so, what do we do now?" Lisa asked, bewildered.

"We can back out."

Lisa shook her head and said:
“If we withdraw now, it will give the virus a chance to spread, and there may be new surprises that we didn’t expect.

We should go to the castle. "

She looked around, trembling all over.

She was well acquainted with the eerie sights of Nighthold.

It took her a year to design it.

She modeled the castle after maps and outlines of a place called Transylvania, which was once part of the European country Hungary.

But now, everything here seems to have an unspeakable sense of fear.

Could it be that when she and Robert designed this virtual world, they made these mountains so dark and terrifying and dangerous?

Are trees really that big?
Is this how the bushes are twisted and twisted?
Is the ground really that rough?
Where is the end of their virtual world?

And where did viral-infected production begin?
"I feel cold."

She said rubbing her hands together.

Although she clearly knew that her body was lying on the metal bed in Ha Yong's room, the hallucination in her mind thought:
She was standing in the middle of a cold, barren wasteland, surrounded by a bitter wind blowing from the mountains, mixed with ice particles and raindrops, and it was bitingly cold.

She said to Robert: "We didn't make the natural environment so bad, did we?"

Robert shrank his head from the cold.

When they first made this game, it was very challenging, and they thought that the design should not be too difficult to make people daunting, nor should it make people feel uncomfortable to play.

But now, he was shaking and his teeth were chattering.

He ran his finger back and forth over the glowing button.

So a warm suit floated down on Lisa, who put on a fringed coat with a deep hood and thick fur,
Complete with gloves, shag trousers and high leather boots with fringe trim.

Robert repeatedly entered a series of instructions, and soon, he also put on similar clothes.His brain accepted the fact that he was wearing thermals, raised his body temperature, and felt much warmer.

Robert looked around, looking here and there:

"Where is Ariel?"

Lisa shrugged:

"I haven't seen her yet."

He shouted to the sky:
"Ariel, where are you?"

No one answered.

"Time?" he asked, dictating instructions.

12: 15: 02
Red light radiated and flickered in the air.

"I know we've only been in this for 15 minutes, but I'm getting tired of it," he said impatiently.

Lisa reminded him:

"We made this."

Robert shook his head, firmly disagreeing with her statement.

"In the beginning, we didn't create this kind of virtual world," he said.

"Then who did it?" Lisa pressed:
"Only a very powerful computer designer could create such a series of effects."

Ariel stood on the tallest tower of the Castle of Night.

The castle sits on top of a hill surrounded by thick, ominous-looking forests.

She knew that the night castle in this virtual reality world was by her side.

If she closed her eyes, it was as if she could actually see the countless rows and rows of computer code pulsing into light to create this environment, and this light flickered, rushed, wobbled and danced in her mind.

Nightcastle is an extremely complex game, but Ariel can visualize it all.

She was so familiar with the game that she could tell the differences between the parts of the game program Lisa made and the game program Robert made.

Ariel opened her eyes and returned to the image of the forest castle generated by the computer.

She knew Robert and the others were somewhere down there.She knew they were trying to cross the Grand Canyon, and she actually felt Robert cutting out the abyss, changing the structure in the VR game.

Trying to concentrate, she stared intently at the forest, which was fading away into sketchy lines.

She immediately recognized Robert and Lisa, who had just arrived at the first signpost pointing to the main road and the side road.

The right way can reach the castle relatively quickly, but it is very dangerous;
Although the side road is far away, it is safer, although it also hides certain dangers.

Ariel quietly let colors and shapes float back into the forest while she waited for them to make a decision.

"Are we going the right way or the wrong way?" asked Robert.

"Ah, you're on the right track, I'm on the wrong track." Lisa smiled mysteriously.

They stand on the edge of a forest called Misty Woods on the supplemental game terrain map.

The signpost was a flat plank nailed to a tree at all four corners.

The "right road" on the road sign is roughly engraved in the direction of the left arm, which is a path that is almost difficult to find through the woods;

On the opposite end of the board is written "Departure", in contrast to a dry tree.

However, the road is wider and less dangerous.

"If we go astray," said Robert cautiously,

"When we meet the bridge-keeper, there will be trouble. Once we get past the bridge-keeper, we will release Pegasus and fly straight to the castle.

If we can't get Pegasus out, that means going through the Swamp of Sighs, and that means we have to answer that boatman's riddle. "

"How many riddles did you make up for the boatman?" Lisa asked.

"Two thousand," answered Robert briskly,
"These riddles are randomly generated, so it's impossible to predict what kind of riddles you'll come across."

Lisa took a few steps forward, squinting her eyes and looking into the distance of the main road. When the road extended into the depths of the forest, it became blurred.She looked at it and said:

"Remind me, those surprise attacks that we planned to ambush on the right way."

"Almost all kinds of things," Robert made a face and kept replying,
"First the man who turned into a wolf, then the living dummies of 16th-century Hebrew legends, the mud monsters, the vampire bats, the fire-breathing dragons, and..."

Lisa raised her hand to stop Robert,

"What was the first thing you said? Say it again!"

"It's a wolf that has turned into a man..." said Robert.

The moment he spoke, more than a dozen ferocious red-eyed wolves appeared from the shadow of the trees.

"However, if you don't play games at night, the big bad wolf won't appear." He said, but right now, he couldn't justify himself.

One of the leading gray wolves looked like a huge monster. It turned around and howled among the wolves. Immediately afterwards, the rest of the wolves also howled. In the depths of the forest, this gloomy howl was transmitted to the second pack. The third pack of wolves, they also howled.

Wolf howls sounded everywhere in the forest, as if the entire forest was filled with ferocious gray wolves.

"There should only be a pack of gray wolves." Robert whispered to Lisa softly.

"Stop talking about 'should have been'!" Lisa said sternly, pushing the hood back on her head.
"Delete these things, delete them now!"

The wolves galloped ahead of Robert and the two of them.

Some wolves run on all fours, but there are also dire wolves that are half human, half wolf, and walk upright on their hind legs.

Robert fingered the shiny buttons on his arm.

Then, the werewolves disappeared one by one.

But, after a while, the wolves appeared again!

The bushes behind these wolves were not calm either.

All kinds of trees are lifelike, the wind is blowing, and the leaves are rustling, just like the real thing.

The wolf's red eyes gleamed in the dark jungle.

After Robert deleted the computer text, the wolf's red eyes disappeared without a trace.

However, it didn't take long for their life to return again.

"Stop immediately!" Lisa said anxiously,
"Stop erasing text. Right now, every time you delete a pack of wolves, two packs come back."

Wolves are now bigger:

There were fifty giant wolves, at least twenty of them turned into humans.

There was the largest human wolf. Although it walked among the wolves on its two hind legs, it still looked like a hungry wolf.

Its teeth were long and sharp, and its hands were somewhat human, with long fingers and long nails.

The werewolf had his hands behind his back, like two jagged daggers, and he was slowly licking his lips at the same time.

The leading werewolf raised his hand and walked directly towards Robert and the other two, his claws shining coldly like sharp knives.

Although these monsters could not speak like humans, they scrambled and rushed towards them, howling ferociously.

Robert moved his finger to the metal sleeve, and in an instant, a large open area appeared in front of the wolves.

The wolves roared loudly and fell into the deep trap one by one.

Most of the wolves disappeared without a trace before reaching the bottom of the trap.

However, there were still a few wolves that grabbed the steep and broken edge of the trap, terrified, and desperately climbed up.

There were six human wolves that had fallen to the bottom of the cave, rushing left and right in the cave.

They are obviously trying to find a way out in the hole.

"Let's go the wrong way." Lisa said anxiously as she stepped back and left the edge of the trap.

Robert didn't have time to answer, he tapped the control buttons with his fingers, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"what happened?"

Lisa hesitated to speak.Because she's seen what's happening:
The pit of the trap is disappearing, the edge of the trap is blurred, and the rough terrain appears again.

Robert took control of the game again, and a few seconds later, the trap pit reappeared, but, immediately, the opposing edges began to close again.

"I can't control it anymore," he said nervously, his voice hoarse with worry and worry.

He started playing computer games at an early age and later created virtual reality worlds.

Those things have always been safe for him because he's always been able to drive the control game.

But now...

Lisa grabbed one of his arms and pulled him away from the edge of the pit.

Just when they turned around and were about to leave, four huge human wolves appeared in front of them with their claws snarling.

The virtual reality game is interrupted.

Robert and Lisa wake up in Harper's control room.

The round face of the little old man appeared before their eyes,

"I think it's time for you to leave that virtual world." He said gently.

Ariel watched several human wolves attack Robert and the two of them.

The moment Robert opened the trap program, she was so nervous that her whole body trembled.

Robert survived in despair and operated the keyboard to some extent.

However, the situation was urgent, and the input code was abrupt and inaccurate, which was completely different from the usual smooth and precise digital input.

Since the effect was produced too quickly, Ariel estimated that the trap would not be very stable, nor would it be able to resist the attack of the virus.

So when the virus takes control of the VR game world again, she sees that trap disappear.

Just when Robert and the two were about to turn around, several human wolves appeared in front of them again.

At this time, Ariel hesitated, she didn't know whether she should take action when Robert and the two disappeared.

Pounding her fist against the castle walls, she dictated aloud, "Time?"

12: 28: 22
Time flickers in the sky.

The two of Robert stayed in the virtual reality world created by himself for less than half an hour.

Ariel nodded in satisfaction, and left the game by herself.

Something puzzled her:
The reputation of the two Roberts is not commensurate with the publicity of various media.

They only lasted 28 minutes in the game, and she had struggled for more than two hours in this deadly game earlier.

Robert was facing Ha Yong and Ariel, sitting at the round dining table, scooping out the off-white food on the plate with a spoon.

They are hungry, and they can't care about the appearance and quality of food.

Robert finished his plate, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said:
"Playing virtual reality games is always an appetite."

"That's because in virtual reality, your brain has to think about everything you do," says Alan Harper.

"Even if the body is still, the brain thinks it's burning calories, so you're starving. You want to eat."

"Do you know everything that goes on in there?" Lisa asked Harper, though her eyes flicked to Ariel.

"I think this game software is completely destroyed by a virus," he said with a shrug.
"The codes have become disorganized.

Notice for yourselves that when you try to delete human wolves, instead of reducing them, they multiplied.

This shows that the virus intercepted your negative sign (-) and turned it into a positive sign (+). "

Lisa felt strange and asked, "So, what should we do?"
