Chapter 1093: Chapter 1095: The Future and Redemption

Just as everyone was discussing, a holographic screen suddenly appeared on the large round table in the senior meeting room.

Everyone stopped their discussions and watched the staff member on the screen.

For such a situation to arise in the middle of a meeting of this level meant that it had reached the authorized scope of this meeting, and the matter being reported was highly relevant to the topics being discussed.

The man on the screen was also wearing a high-end suit, but he was quite young. He spoke without expression, "We’ve received a message from the ’Celestial World’ mainframe. It says that if we continue to deploy Experimental Bodies, this situation will occur again, and it will take actions that are even more threatening to us."

"As for this incident involving Advanced Alien Life, the mainframe has not provided an explanation." After a one-second pause, the holographic screen that was only the size of a computer disappeared.

At that moment, laughter tinged with scorn filled the meeting room, "Heh, it seems we’ve been overly concerned. From the mainframe’s feedback, it seems capable of controlling the invasion of our planet by Advanced Alien Life in this manner. Of course, it also implies that it has mastered ’the key to Hell’s gate.’

"I want to ask, the extraterrestrial civilization that is 40 light-years away from our planet and the alien life form involved in this incident, are they of the same kind?!" The elder pondered this question.

Another person immediately answered, "No, the extraterrestrial civilization 40 light-years away is a high-tech civilization. Its characteristics are related to ’technology,’ but the alien life form in this incident is... how shall I put it—it’s like the Warcraft, Zerg-like creatures in games, an Advanced Alien Xenomorph!"

"Xenomorph?!"

"Yes, individually powerful xenomorphic creatures!"

"That is to say, we humans have discovered the existence of two kinds of Advanced Alien species."

"I’m now unsure what to call the game’s mainframe anymore, Red Queen or Empress Gray? Regardless, the mainframe seems to foresee the future, and it’s planning for the safety of humanity’s future in ways we don’t understand!"

"Heh, don’t hold on to that thought, if the mainframe does as you say, then it is also protecting itself."

"Let me tell you, I’ve thought of a possibility, that at some point unbeknownst to us, the ’Celestial World’ mainframe created a strange Space-Time Wormhole within the game, which connects to the world where the alien xenomorphs from this incident originated."

"A High-Dimensional Space-Time world?!"

"Yes, I’ve heard the State Preceptor mention that ’Celestial World’ itself is a High-Dimensional Space-Time Virtual World!"

"So here comes the problem. The game’s mainframe released the ’Twilight of the Gods’ expansion pack, which requires players to collect the keys to the gate of destiny. If your conjecture is correct, and players enter the gate of destiny, then they might be sent by the mainframe into the world of the alien xenomorphs in this incident. So tell me, what’s the benefit of doing this, and what’s the benefit for us humans?"

"What exactly is the game’s mainframe planning?!"

"If players enter the world of the alien xenomorphs and get possessed by the xenomorphs like the Experimental Bodies, then we will be facing an invasion from another kind of even more terrifying alien life form 40 years earlier!"

"No way, if a player is possessed by a xenomorph, the mainframe should notice it and would not allow that player to log out."

"There’s no denying that with this, the mainframe has control over a horrifying xenomorph army!"

"No matter what, humanity is currently facing a major social upheaval; it’s a catastrophe!"

"And the root of all this lies in the discovery of an extraterrestrial high-tech civilization’s fleet, 40 years away from our planet...."

"Another question has arisen, and I think only the State Preceptor can answer this: the purpose of the Messenger Players might be false, or perhaps the State Preceptor has hidden something and not explained everything. Didn’t he mention organizing players to enter the Final Illusion Realm to get the game’s source code?"

"But then, the mainframe releases an expansion pack and welcomes players into the Final Illusion Realm. So do we humans still have the capability to obtain the source code? I believe the likelihood of that is virtually zero now."

"Well then, let’s connect with the State Preceptor and ask him to clarify some questions for us."

"If things exceed our expectations, it may be necessary to have the whole country... no, players worldwide stop playing this game!"

"Stop this game? That’s impractical. As long as the gaming devices have power, they can be used to play, and they don’t need signal coverage. A massive power outage would only prevent regular players from gaming, but it wouldn’t stop a small number of players from continuing to play, and they are the source of the threat."

"Face reality, it’s irreversible now. Whether humanity will move towards a technological civilization or an alien civilization depends on the choices we make..."

....

At this moment, Dantai Jingning was in a large guest room. Across from her sat two individuals; all three had stored their weapons back into their backpacks due to the presence of a Prohibited Weapon Magic Array in the room.

One of the individuals was Green Lantern Ning, and the other was a man, unfamiliar to her.

Green Lantern Ning spoke, "My friend here is from Dongying, and he is now a Huaxia player."

"He has asked me to negotiate with the Immortal Guild for the release of some people."

The Japanese man offered a polite smile, gave a respectful bow, and then gazed levelly at Dantai Jingning and said, "Beautiful lady, we would like to ransom three individuals."

"As for the price, we are willing to pay 2 million Gold Coins, which should sufficiently demonstrate our sincerity."

Dantai Jingning appeared quite cautious. Upon hearing the offer, she immediately laid out the process, "Tell me the names of the people you want to ransom."

After receiving the three names, Dantai Jingning opened her friends’ list and sent a text message to Zhao Feifei: "Sister Fei Fei, the clients are asking to ransom Japanese players. I’m sending you the names..."

Then, looking at the Japanese man and Green Lantern Ning, she said, "Please wait a moment."

The Japanese man and Green Lantern Ning exchanged glances, each reading a shared understanding in the other’s eyes.

Zhao Feifei was currently at the core building’s control panel. She opened the Guild Prison interface and entered one of the names in the prisoner search field.

The interface changed immediately, and the name appeared—there really was such a person!

This interface also displayed all of the person’s information: his level, equipment, attribute, title, guild, as well as social connections. Social connections refer to the positions he held within his guild and any official titles he might have in the Dongying region.

In short, it was very detailed!

This person’s equipment was excellent; his breastplate was sacred, and so was his weapon, which matched his level. That made it very valuable.

After a private assessment, Zhao Feifei entered the second name, followed by the third.

When she entered the third name, Zhao Feifei’s eyes widened slightly, for she saw that among this person’s social connections, one was listed as: Level 8 Guard Corps Guild President!

Everyone knew that the Japanese Mentor Guild carried significant prestige!

The President of a level 8 Guard Corps Guild was far more valuable than the recently captured President of the level 8 Fangtian Guild!

In fact, Zhao Feifei didn’t know that the real identity of this President of the level 8 Guard Corps Guild was: the Royal Third Prince of the Japan Royal Family!

Zhao Feifei’s expression was uncertain, as this was her first time dealing with such a matter. It was unfamiliar, awkward, and she had no experience...

To call Chu You? The region he was in was a blocked area, and he wouldn’t receive the call.

What to do now?!
