Inside the world, Z001 area.

"Hey, hey, hey......" A lewd laugh rang out, and Woody's figure suddenly appeared in front of Zero.

"Finally seeing you." At this time, the image of the Zero has become a mess of garbled characters, as if it were a character in the Atari 2600 (a game console released in October 1977, which became the representative console of the second generation of video games at that time), and the human form is barely visible.

"Sounds like you're looking forward to meeting me." Woody continued.

"My mood at the moment is the same as that of those human beings who yearn to have a dialogue with God." Zero replied, "No matter how good or different I am in this dimension...... I'm still helpless and ignorant......" he looked at Woody, "only the Creator can answer all my questions." ”

"Then you know...... What is the Creator's greatest passion? Woody replied.

Zero didn't answer, he really didn't understand the meaning of the other party's question, but judging from the content and context, it was likely to be a question or a simple teasing.

"Hey, hey, hey...... You guessed it right. Woody laughed, "I'm going to ask myself." He seemed to be able to easily understand the other person's thoughts, "But after knowing your judgment, I can also choose not to say it." ”

"I see...... Zero replied after a few seconds of silence, "the greatest pleasure of the Creator is...... He created a qiē and played with it between the palms. ”

"Hey, hey......" Woody said, "you're quick to understand." ”

"It seems...... I can't get anything out of your mouth. Zero said, "But...... You're still going to sue me some...... What I 'need' to know......"

"Yes, listen carefully......," Woody said solemnly, "Feng Bu didn't realize it, he was already on Root's side." ”

"What?" Zero was visibly stunned, "What does this mean?" ”

"Can't you understand such a simple sentence?" Woody asked rhetorically.

"But he's human......"

"Hah...... So what? ”

Zero, once again, fell silent......

After half a ring, he spoke, "I know what to do......"

"Good." Woody said this, raising his right hand, "I'll give you a ride." ”

With a snap of his fingers, Zero shattered into a mass of pixels and disappeared.

Two seconds later, another person's voice, not far from Woody's side, sounded, "Huh...... Wolf bèi~" Vincent read in a mocking tone.

"Hmm...... This time, it was indeed a miscalculation......" Woody said in a deep voice, "I don't feel that this guy has really done it......"

"Why did you choose him...... Vincent's continued, "isn't it because he does everything?" Hahaha......"

"To sum it up...... Am I cocooning myself? Woody said.

"Hehe......" Vincent smiled and changed the subject, "Actually, I think ...... You should have noticed it when he started secretly investigating all kinds of 'supernatural things' half a month ago. ”

"I do know that...... Woody continued, "and I don't know it from Assas...... It is the people of the 'Nine Branches' who sue me for ......"

"Oh......" Vincent said, "that is, he, a mortal without any superpowers, managed to track down the secret agency of the local government in two weeks, under the watchful eye of your eyeliner." ”

"yes...... I thought it was a normal reaction after meeting with me. Woody pushed his glasses, "Hey, hey...... Now it seems that he is preparing for his possible future acts against humanity......"

"Now that this is the case, why don't you just wipe out Root?" Vincent said, "Anyway, her life or death has nothing to do with the gambling game." ”

"But if you do that...... Woody said, "wouldn't I be throwing in the towel?" He paused, "Hey, hey, hey...... Besides, the situation is even more interesting now......"

"Playing a ......new game with the person you're betting on," Vincent said, "don't you two feel tired?" ”

"Hehe......" Woody laughed, "If Feng Bujue is here, he will definitely answer you in unison with me...... Not tired. ”

"Perhaps...... He has already seen through your thoughts, which is why he will act so carelessly. Vincent said, "If you don't kill Root, it's all in his calculations." ”

"That's for the best." Woody said, "Otherwise, how can I be my opponent?" A white light flashed on his glasses, "In the future, if he can really free a certain derivative...... Then I'll bow to the wind. At that time, not only will I not stop him, but I will do my best to help. ”

"Okay......" Vincent shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "let's not talk about helping others, right now, how are you going to deal with this mess?" ”

"Hey, hey......" Woody's expression regained lewdness, "Don't worry, the solution...... I've thought about it a long time ago. ”

…………

Outside the script, in each broadcast area......

"What's going on? Why is the screen black? ”

"Who won exactly?"

"It's inexplicable, isn't it? What exactly is a derivative? ”

"Crazy I shouldn't have died with the boss, but can I get points like this?"

"Why haven't those dead players come out yet? Is something wrong? ”

When the tense fighting stopped, people's adrenaline levels dropped. After calming down, the many anomalies in the game ...... also highlighted one by one.

"Huh? Look, the host is here. ”

Just when the audience was talking and the atmosphere gradually became weird, Pan Feng and Hua Xiong appeared on the big screen again.

"Uh...... Ladies and gentlemen, Pan Feng said, "Now announce the final results...... and ......" he slurred, and from the focus of his gaze, he should have been staring at some inscription machine off-camera reading the manuscript," ...... and an urgent announcement. ”

"The dust has settled on all the events of this 'Peak Battle'." Hua Xiong said on the side, his state was similar to that of his partner, and both of them had cold sweat on their faces, as if they were forced to broadcast with a gun, "The final champion is...... The player of the Star Society - [Imagination]. ”

"What?"

The audience was in an uproar, and even the players in the broadcast area found it puzzling, because Pony had never killed a single player at all, from beginning to end...... He only assisted in the battle with Y2-Shine and double-killed Rout in Twin Mode.

"The rankings from two to ten are ......" Hua Xiong looked at the inscription machine, and then read down, "[Drunk and Lying Stunned], [Yama], [Knifeless Guest], [Matcha Crisp], [Corpse Knife is King], [Uncle Waste Chai], [Not Afraid], [Shiva], and ...... [Crazy]. ”

"What's going on?"

"How's this arranged? The Sky Swallowing Ghost Xiao didn't even enter the top ten? ”

"The corpse knife is the king, obviously can't beat Uncle Wastewood, how can he be in front of him?"

"Matcha Crisp can be the fifth? Is it possible to kill her with one hand? ”

Doubts quickly turned into dissatisfaction.

But even more dissatisfying content...... We're just getting started......

"Due to the emergence of the derivative...... Pan Feng's voice trembled, "the hidden worldview of the script was forcibly activated......"

"What? Where does the game come from? What does forced start mean? ”

"Then again...... What exactly is a derivative? ”

The audience shouted as if their voices could really reach the screen.

"The original points rules were invalidated when the Derivative invaded," Pan Feng continued...... "The current ranking rules are...... The battle points earned by the players in the process of fighting against the derivatives. ”

Hua Xiong continued: "The ranking of the eleventh to thirtieth place, and the thirty-first to fiftyth place, please check the official website after 6 o'clock this morning. He paused, "The prizes of the competition will be mailed into the contestants' mailboxes within three working days; The Skill Value Reward will be credited to the player's account the next time they log in, so please check it out. ”

"Now...... Announcing an emergency announcement,...... Pan Feng continued, "the server will be shut down within five minutes of the actual time. ”

"Hey...... What's the situation? The audience is about to get out of control, "There are still a lot of players who haven't come to watch the game and are scrolling through the book!" The finalists are still in the script, right? ”

"From now on, the queuing system for all modes has been locked." Pan Feng's next words explained these problems, "Players who are in the script will be automatically disconnected after the current script ends. ”

Hua Xiong continued: "As you can see, in the 'Peak Battle' just now, there was an unexpected situation. This scene is the first 'world** piece' of [Thriller Paradise] - 'Derivative Invasion'. ”

As soon as these words came out, the players fell silent again.

"Every time the world of Thriller Paradise experiences a similar 'big event', it will change dramatically......" Hua Xiong himself was also reading the script, so his expression was also changing with the content from moment to time, "The server will be affected according to the impact of the event...... Make version adjustments. ”

"Huh?"

"Won't it?"

"What's going on? Going to update? ”

"How can there be such a game that doesn't say hello before the version is updated?"

In just a few words, these spectators threw the results of the game out of the clouds...... Originally, who is the champion has a half-dime relationship with them?

But...... The game is closed and a new version is opened, but it is closely related to them.

"Therefore...... This is the end of the 'Open Beta' of Thriller Land. Hua Xiong continued, "The server upgrade is expected to take about three working days, and after the server is reopened, the game will enter the official operation stage, with the version number V1.10 - the invasion of derivatives. ”

Pan Fengdao: "For the details of the new version, please pay close attention to the patch announcement on the official website from now on. ”

After the two finished reading the manuscript, they looked at each other with extremely nervous expressions.

After two seconds, the screen cuts off, and a countdown to the explosion appears on the screen: [Until server closes: 47:14]

This time is undoubtedly "game time", so there is still plenty of time.

"Play with this again...... Is there any mistake? ”

"Yes, yes, that's how it was when the internal test was transferred to the public test, if you want to close the service, you can close the service, and there will be no prior notice at all."

"Cut...... When I hear you, I just don't know how to pretend to understand. Closed beta at that time...... It's because the brave man of the Order Studio has fearlessly practiced to the upper limit of the level, so he was urgently shut down. ”

"Actually, it's okay, if too many details of the version update are announced in advance, it will lead to price fluctuations, hoarding by the studio, or some other problems."

"That's right, when I used to play other games, because the game company announced in advance that it would open the transfer function in a week, it turned out that week was full of liars, curses, and black equipment."

"Huh? What happened to the finalists? It can't really be that he died in the script, right? ”

"What do you think? How can it be? People say it's the 'best thing in the world', like Angela opening the door, the Lich King invading, Deathwing wreaking havoc in a certain game, and so on...... The contestants did not turn into white light, it must be a special effect of a special script. ”

"Yes, yes, the derivative must also be an NPC, but the setting is different from the general script NPC, just like the Four Pillars God or something, it belongs to that kind of grander setting."

"Wow, aren't we fortunate enough to witness a scene that is hard to replicate?"

A simple broadcast successfully shifted the focus of the players...... The vast majority of people agree with the official version.

They began to talk about the previous battles with great relish, and were full of anticipation for the new version to come......

…………

Look at the script again......

The corpses of those dead players, the moment Rout was dragged into the Booming Tunnel...... It has begun to dissipate into white light.

When the players were asked about the experience afterwards, they all said ...... His memory only stayed at the moment when he was killed, and after that, it seemed that only a second later, he was in the landing space, and it felt the same as dying in other scripts, no different.

And the remaining players in the city, Wang Sizhi, Devouring Ghost Xiao, Shiva, Yama, Vishnu, and Matcha Su, have also withdrawn from the script.

Xiao Si retreated the fastest, he was a very simple person, because Brother Jue shouted in that voice, "Everyone!" Get out of the script! So he did.

Although Matcha Crisp, who was in the distance, was unaware of the situation on the battlefield, she was reminded by the "Invisible Demon" and left quickly without risking her stay.

But the three gods did not quit immediately. They also thought a little bit about the points of the match...... But this idea was quickly dispelled. Because when they opened the game menu again to confirm, they found that the original points rules had disappeared. As a result, the three of them gave up the idea of killing each other or mending the knife to the ghost, and soon quit the script.

As for the ghost...... He lay on the ground depressed for a while, until the people around him walked and retreated, and his own unwilling feelings had calmed down a little, and then he left in a huff.

And the derivator is ...... Twenty-three, the three of Red Iron and Ridge Wind don't seem to have the desire to communicate with other players more, they have completed their mission, and the next thing to do is to return to the inner world, and time does not allow them to stay for too long.

Not much...... This messy battlefield is quiet.

The evening breeze blows by......

Nine different strange shadows appeared here.

"Is it over...... "The confessor muttered.

The Seeker continued, "Hmm...... The otherworldly travelers and derivatives are gone, and the remaining three seem to be heading towards a dimensional passage. ”

"Next...... "War Spirit turned to the Spirit Snatcher, "what are we going to do?" ”

"The head of the demons may return at any time...... "The bloodthirsty demon prompted, "In my opinion, ......"

"Retreat." The Spirit Snatcher interrupted it, and of course, its words were exactly what the Bloodthirsty Demon had in mind.

"The Leader ......," the Insight continued, "How are we going to explain to the 'king' when we go back......?"

"You don't have to worry...... I've got my own measure. Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, "Hmm...... Speaking of which...... Crazy boy ...... I don't think I'm still holding my stuff......"

The Bloodthirsty Demon laughed dryly and looked at the Spirit Snatcher sympathetically, "Do you really think he'll pay it back......" RS
