Chapter 195
"What did you do?" Lisa asked tremblingly.

She touched her face and could still feel the filthy monster on her skin, and she felt sick.

Seeing Robert standing up staggeringly and stumbling over, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief.

Ariel forced a smile, she grabbed Lisa and said:
"Don't forget that I am a part of this virtual world, a part of the computer.

I am the machine, and I am the one who destroyed the line-by-line game programs that control the giant eels. "

"But when we kill it," said Robert, limping along,

"The machine just repeated lines."

Ariel's black eyes looked like two black holes in her head.

"That's because I haven't had time to delete them." She said gently,

"It was I who destroyed the virus, as you must know, when information is deleted from computer memory, it cannot be deleted with the correct information, it is still recorded in some programs, this is how the machine reproduces the principle of erasing files.

When I enter the delete program, I often enter it again, so that it is completely and cleanly eliminated, ensuring that the giant eel will not come back again. "

"But, what's going on?" Lisa asked in bewilderment.

"How do you have a conversation with a computer?"

"I've thought about it. In this virtual reality world, I can bring my thoughts to life."

With her arms outstretched, she turned her face to the sky,

"In this world, I am a goddess!" she yelled frantically.

Lisa glanced at Robert hastily, and Robert also saw her strange expression, and nodded slightly.

He also thinks that Ariel is not fully conscious.

Night Castle, terrifying and sinister.

The three of them overcame thorns and thorns, passed through the forest, and climbed the bare mountain. The whole village was in sight, and the Castle of Night was also revealed before their eyes. It is a dark mass, towering toweringly.

"It does look kind of scary," Lisa said quietly.

"That's true," Robert complacently agreed, and he turned around and asked Ariel:

"what do you think?"

Ariel turned pale, and looked up at the castle:

"I just saw lines of computer programs."

After she finished speaking coldly, she walked away.

Lisa covered her eyes with her hands, and watched again.

When Robert and the others were making games, they used their imagination to create the most terrifying fortress in the world.

The wet black stone walls were covered with patches of moss, large rusty iron gates, dilapidated old towers, and ravines overgrown with weeds. "

It's completely different here. "

Lisa spoke in a very small voice, almost to herself:

"It's kind of weird."

Robert grabbed Lisa's hand, trying to drag her away.

"It's not the castle that has changed," he said,
"It's that the game has changed. Now that we know that our game is infected with a virus, we have to look at this castle from a different perspective."

Lisa shivered, her metal armor creaking.

"Should we still go in?" she asked Robert.

"Those who suffer from virtual reality sleeping sickness have been to this castle, the culprit must be here.

We've got to be brave about it, beat it, and, hopefully, identify the lineage or class of these viruses. "

He gushed on and on and on.

"Be aware that this virus is still very active." Lisa reminded him.

"I haven't forgotten." He smiled secretly, turned around and greeted Ariel, "Come here, let us fight together and persevere to the end."

The road they were on was almost as rough as a mountain path, so the two had to dodge, take each step carefully, and crawl carefully across the rocky surface.

Because if you slip and fall, you will shatter your ankle.

But Ariel walked steadily on the path, her eyes always fixed on the castle.

Robert pointed to a crooked tree by the side of the road, and said:
"When we pass that signpost, the lightning and thunder will begin," he reminded Lisa.

Ariel led the way, but when she passed the signpost, the lightning bolt did not strike.

Robert stopped by the big tree, and Lisa bent down beside him, putting a hand on his back.

"She's kind of weird..." he muttered.

Lisa nodded.

"Very strange," she continued, straightening up,
"Look what happens when we pass by." After that, she took a big step to walk past the big tree.

The rumbling thunder sounded dull in the air.

Lightning appeared behind the castle, and the castle shone with silver and then was pitch black.

"So at least the program hasn't been completely destroyed."

Saying so, Robert followed Lisa down the path.

In the past he had programmed five lightning strikes, ten lightning strikes, and the last three fork bolts that landed on the ground behind the castle.

"Three...four...five," he counted the rumbling thunder,

"arrive."

He started counting again, then stopped.

Another burst of thunder and lightning broke out, across the sky, thunder sounded, and the lightning followed closely, across the night sky.

Suddenly there was a smell of ozone in the air, followed by a huge thunderclap, almost right above their heads, a jagged sword-like lightning struck down on their right side, knocking them down along with the surrounding rocks. Shine brightly together.

Robert heard the wind-blown sand and stones crashing down on Lisa's armor.

Something is wrong!
Robert stopped in his tracks, and a terrible and ominous omen suddenly flashed through his mind, and he suddenly understood and was extremely surprised:
Lisa is wearing metal armor!He ran like flying, trying to rescue Lisa before the thunderbolt across the sky.

He warned Lisa, but the shout was drowned out by a deafening noise of thunder and lightning.

He caught up and touched Lisa's back lightly. The electric shock from the metal armor made his entire arm below the shoulder numb and painful, and he lost consciousness.

He told Lisa to straighten her arms and legs and roll over on her stomach.

At this time, a second jagged sword-like thunderbolt flashed across the place where Lisa was standing just now, instantly stirring up the ground and causing chaos.

Robert tried to stand up, but his injured arm wouldn't work, and he fell to the ground again.

The loud thunder sounded again, and Robert watched the third jagged lightning strike Lisa again, but he was helpless.

Time slows down...

slow down...

Finally stopped.

The roaring bolt of lightning landed inches from Lisa and exploded, disappearing suddenly in blinding sparks.

Lisa's metal armor was burned hot and made a rustling sound.The sound of metal cracking gradually weakened, and after a while, it turned into the sound of metal "ping ping" exploding.

Time resumed moving forward.

Ariel strode over, covering her lips with her hands.

She lowered her head and saw Robert and the others huddled on the ground, shaking her head impatiently.

"I thought you were the best game makers in the world. But, without me, wouldn't you be lying in a virtual reality coma now?"

"You saved my life." After Lisa finished speaking, she was about to thank her again, but she stopped her.

"It was I who stopped the computer clock, bought time, and deciphered the lines and lines of code that were used to control the last lightning bolt, and just like that, I destroyed it."

After she finished speaking solemnly, she turned around and left.

Robert helped Lisa stand up. Both of them were shaking so badly that it was almost difficult to stand still.

"Are you okay?" he asked with concern.

"My whole body hurts. I bet, when I wake up and return to the real world, my body will be full of scars."

Lisa forced a smile, but couldn't.

She turned her head to look at Ariel, and said:

"This is the second time she has come to save my life."

Robert nodded. He narrowed his jewel-like blue eyes and turned to look for Ariel as well.

"But, if she is really so powerful in the virtual world, why can't she isolate viruses, or even eliminate them?" Lisa was a little puzzled.

Robert nodded and said, "Technically speaking, there is almost nothing that can stop her. Of course she is quite powerful."

"It's almost like she's playing games with us," Lisa murmured.

"But why?" Robert asked inquiringly.
"Does she really want to destroy the virus like us?" He looked up at the sky and shouted in confusion,
"Harper, I know you can hear me.

Why did you and Ariel never think about eradicating these viruses with your own hands?

Why do you let us enter this virtual world when you know that we are powerless? "

Lisa held Robert's arm tightly and persuaded him:

"He can't answer you."

"I know, but after I get out of this virtual world and enter the real world, I must ask him in person."

He pointed to the gate of the castle, and Ariel was striding towards it:
"Hurry up, we need to be with her, she is our only hope of surviving here."

The attack came very suddenly.

Robert and Lisa followed Ariel into a long corridor, which echoed mightily.

When their footsteps gradually moved away from the stone road, a monster appeared behind the tapestry.

"It's gotten bigger,"

Robert drew out the knife, held it in front of his chest, and whispered into Lisa's ear:

"When I made them, they were never this big."

The monster looks like a mouse.

When Robert first created it, he made it the size of a puppy.

But now it is as tall as a horse.

It is covered with a layer of metal fluff, and the die is also metal.

A pair of red eyes gleamed in the dark.

Lisa drew her sword from its scabbard, gripped it in both hands, and stared at the monster in disgust.

"I hate dead rats," she muttered,

"I told you, I don't want to see mice in the game."

"Where did Ariel go?" Robert thought, he looked around in despair,
"Ariel!" he cried,

"Ariel! Where are you?"

"Leave her alone," cried Liza suddenly,
"Help me!" She watched the mouse crawl forward,
"Tell me why you put this disgusting thing here?" she asked.

"The mouse is designed to force gamers into that corridor over there." He pointed with his thumb.
"That corridor leads to a maze, and once it enters the maze, it can never come out."

"How can we beat it?"

Robert smiled,

"It's very simple. All you have to do is wait for it to come to the middle of the mosaic pattern that is laid diagonally on the ground."

The giant rat walked forward step by step, its metal tail rubbed against the stone floor, making harsh noises.

The big mouth opened and screamed, and the pair of red eyes were attracted by the reflection of Lisa's metal armor.

Robert took a few steps back, leaving Lisa alone in the middle of the corridor.

He moved quietly, trying not to attract the mouse's attention.

When his back touched the wet and cold wall, he stopped.

The mouse walked into the middle of the mosaic and stopped.

Robert suddenly pulled out the flashing knife, and slashed towards the thick rope hanging from the ceiling.

This rope is connected to a metal disc with dozens of candles on it, which is used to illuminate the hall.

However, the candle hadn't been replaced for a long time, so the disc was covered with a thick layer of yellow and white wax.

The rope broke, the disc fell, and with a loud noise, the mouse hit the ground and was firmly nailed there, unable to move.

It writhed desperately and let out a piercing squeal, like a baby crying, and the tail was still flapping on the floor.

"move!"

Robert urged,
"It looks like it can break free and escape! Be careful not to be fooled."

"I'll never forget it for the rest of my life." Lisa muttered in a low voice.

They ran down the long hallway, Lisa's metal heels hitting the stones with a loud thump.

A line of warriors in ancient armor stood along the wall, and one of them suddenly came to life, slowly raising a huge double-edged sword.

Robert bent down and grabbed the rough rug.

Pulling it up hard, the armored warrior tripped over the carpet and fell on his back against the wall.

The whole set of armor was smashed into pieces, and upon closer inspection, there was nothing inside.

The corridor became narrower and narrower, until at last it was only as wide as two people, and could only accommodate two people standing side by side.

Along the walls is a row of ornate circular shields with painted faces of men and beasts.

"Are you ready?" Robert asked softly.

"Ready," Lisa replied.

Robert pointed to the curved door at the end of the corridor and said:
"Once we pass through that door, those stone steps lead us to the heart of the dungeon."

Robert was walking ahead. He was counting the number of shields along the corridor. When he passed the third shield on the right, that shield suddenly came alive, and a huge snake head jumped out from the center of the shield.

Robert hastened to fight back with a knife, but the snake head dodged, and the knife scratched the shield, sparking a spark.

The snake head opened its fang-covered mouth wide, and swooped again.

This time, Lisa threw the dart, and the sharp point just hit the snake's head, and the snake's head was chopped off completely.

Then, the "flying around" dart drew an arc in the air and returned to her hand.

Robert silently expressed his gratitude and raised his hand.

They continued on their way.

He braced himself to meet the second viper, intending to kill it before it emerged from the shield.

At this moment, a large bat sprang out from the last shield, and he rushed up and struck it sharply, cutting it in half neatly.

Panting heavily, he leaned against the door at the end of the hallway and touched his bald head with his hands, feeling profuse in sweat.

At first they designed the shield to consume the energy of those computer game players, but now, because the game program is infected by viruses, no one can guarantee that the fangs and claws will not cause fatal harm to people.

Lisa followed Robert very carefully down the corridor.

The row of shields to their left is for two-player games.

Suddenly, a hooked cobra sprang out from the center of the first shield.

She hit the cobra's umbrella-shaped point with the dart in her hand, and it sliced ​​off in one blow.

The cobra's head fell to the ground, its forked tongue still dangling.

It's still alive.The point bit into Lisa's boot, its fangs gnawing at the metal on top of the boot.

She stopped, bent down, grabbed the snake's head, and threw it into the darkness.

She was glad that she was able to escape again, thinking to herself:
If they could get out of this dark castle, she would never play the game again.

A huge scorpion appeared on the surface of the third shield, its tail curled up, and it was about to attack. Lisa kept a distance from it and attacked it with her sword.
