490 Methods of detachment
"Wait......"
Hearing the woman's request, Lin Chi was silent for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "You asked me to save you just now, why don't you want to live now?" ”
"What I want is a dignified death, not to die under the guns of those soldiers." The woman's voice was weak but resolute, and she continued to use the speaker to explain her thoughts: "Actually, I always wanted to turn off the power, but my father seems to have discovered my thoughts. He specifically told the engineer not to give me control over the life-sustaining equipment. So ......"
Speaking of this, the woman who was lying on the hospital bed using an artificial organ to prolong her life suddenly raised her tone, as if she was burning her own life, and shouted desperately at the man who had just saved her:
"The power supply in the basement is separate from the apartment building above, and the power control room should be in the cabin at the end of the hallway...... Now, please turn it off and grant the last wish of this poor man! ”
Lin Chi fell silent again, staring at the pale ward in front of him.
If the other party was an ordinary NPC, Lin Chi would naturally be too lazy to care about her life or death. But now, realizing that the other party may be a boss-level character who can be recruited, he certainly won't directly fulfill the other party's suicide request.
Although the other party seemed to be bent on death, Lin Chi always felt that something was not quite right. If this woman really wanted to die, it shouldn't have been delayed for so long. And......
"I said, did you just notice?"
Lin Chi raised his head, looked at the camera installed in the corner of the wall, and said in a deep voice: "The technology and the era of this world do not match, in other words, ...... This is probably not the 'reality'. ”
The woman did not answer.
"However, if you kill yourself, you probably won't go back to the 'real world'." Lin Chi added: "Do you think you can return to the 'upper echelons' by committing suicide? If it were that simple, I wouldn't be here. ”
A minute later, the woman's weak voice finally sounded again: "Are you...... From the 'Upper World'? ”
"Yes, I'm stuck here for the time being, looking for a way back." Lin Chi decisively began to "improvise", and lied to the woman seriously: "If it's really as simple as you think, can't I just blow up my head with one shot?" ”
Lin Chi could see that this woman who was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't even move a finger should have just noticed that the world was not like the "real world", so she asked others to kill her.
The so-called "dignified death" is just a lie, and if she had found out about it before, she would have opened the door and waited for the moment when she was killed by those soldiers.
However, in the face of the boss who was suspected of being the target of recruitment, Lin Chi naturally would not allow her to commit suicide, but continued to ask: "I am also looking for a way to go back now, but it is definitely not suicide, believe me, once you commit suicide, your body in the upper world will also die." ”
Players who had previously hung up in the bloody Doomsday Inn did not switch to this space, but simply exited. In this map, the way to wake up from a virtual "dream" and return to the upper world is obviously not to commit suicide directly, but to some other way.
Returning to this apartment from the dream of the Doomsday Hotel is through a full-length mirror, and a similar "catalyst" should be needed to return to the upper world from here.
Only by finding a medium similar to that mirror can one return from this dream that cannot be woken up from. If the woman's wish is fulfilled now, the recruitment plan will fail.
"Haha......"
The woman lying on the hospital bed, her body, which was originally motionless, began to rise and fall in an imperceptible slight amplitude, and the voice in the speaker was also a little distorted: "You think I didn't look for another way?" Actually, I already felt that something was wrong here. But...... With my body alone, I can't find a way to leave! ”
"I know that this ghost place is the same space as the space in the dream machine, and it may also be a virtual space, but even so, I can't wake up, I can only wander in this nightmare forever! What is the difference between a dream that cannot be woken up from and 'reality'? ”
Hearing this, Lin Chi couldn't help but make up the picture of himself being trapped in an imaging game in his brain and never being able to exit.
Although modern game consoles come with complete security measures, a tragedy like "Sword Art Online" is unlikely to happen again. But just thinking about the miserable scene of being a seriously ill patient who couldn't move and lying on a hospital bed for decades, Lin Chi couldn't help but sigh:
"I know you're in pain, but you're just giving up on treatment?" He whispered.
Without waiting for the woman to refute, Lin Chi continued to speak: "Even if it is a virtual world, there should be a reason why you have become like this. Haven't you ever wondered who made you the person you are? If it were me, I would definitely want to go back to the upper world, take back my true body, and get revenge on the guy who turned me into this ghost! ”
“……”
As soon as these words came out, the woman, who was still begging for death, also hesitated for a moment.
For the guys who are on the verge of despair, rekindling their fighting spirit is not something that can be done with just a few words of comfort. The best way is to channel their boundless despair and let their despair turn into hatred...... Or rage!
"So, you're going to cut yourself off here?" Lin Chi smiled, and there was undisguised contempt in his tone: "That bastard who turned you into such a bastard may be living a good life in the upper world, and may even be 'using' your unconscious and unconscious body in the upper world!" Aren't you going to take revenge on him? ”
"The so-called 'enemy' in your mouth may not exist at all......" The woman argued in a weak voice.
Although she was still stubborn, Lin Chi could see that this person's desire to commit suicide had weakened slightly compared to before.
Just when Lin Chi was about to use the "mouth cannon" to persuade this guy, a dangerous red light suddenly lit up in the ward, and the siren kept echoing in the room, and the rapid flashing red light made Lin Chi a little dizzy.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Another soldier is coming, and they have invaded the second basement floor." The woman explained in a low voice, "Right now, they're moving here, and they're about to get there......"
Hearing this, Lin Chi was going to let the woman lock the door, but he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where have they been?" ”
"Now that they've crossed the round door, it's too late to lock it...... "The woman reported where the enemy troops were.
"Well, how about we make a bet?" Lin Chi raised his head and looked at the camera in the corner of the ward: "If I can kill them all by myself, you will give up the idea of suicide for the time being." If I get killed...... Then it's up to you. ”
