I Became the Ultimate Boss

Chapter 18 The Weird Sacrifice in the Subconscious

orange star.

The investigation room of the research institute.

The two young girls had slightly nervous expressions on their faces. They were wearing pink short sleeves and cool shorts, and their two pairs of white legs were clamped restlessly.

"When we quit the game, we didn't know what happened to the three of them." The player "White Milk" shook his head and said.

Another girl also shook her head and said, "I'm a temporary team member, and I don't know them in reality."

The investigator nodded and asked some questions, generally asking if they felt any abnormal physical sensations during the confinement period.

Because the investigators found that when the player recorded the video, he said that he had adjusted the game somatosensory to zero, but the player still acted cold, as if he was in a negative thirty-degree environment.

What puzzled the investigators was that in the content recorded by the system video, there was no snowstorm in the environment, and there was no environmental change in the form of cooling, and the status bar on their bodies did not show negative BUFFs such as "cold".

The negative buff states that the investigators saw were only two buffs, namely "imprisonment" and "poisoning".

At that time, the player looked up at the night in the weird kobold mountain village, but there was nothing in the night in the video.

The people from the game company currently suspect that the three players are mentally abnormal and have hallucinations of the five senses, thus triggering an abnormal brain wave alarm in the game cabin.

When people are mentally disturbed, they are not allowed to enter the game cabin to play games.

The game cabin cannot scan the other party's brain. Essentially, the game is played with brain waves, without the need to insert brain electrodes. Therefore, once the player's brain waves are abnormal, an alarm mechanism will be triggered.

"There is no abnormal body sensation, I didn't pay attention to this kind of thing at the time." The female player shook her head and denied.

"But the confinement time is really quite long, isn't that hiding the beginning of the plot?"

The investigator shook his head, "Sorry, I'm not in charge of the development of the game's plot, I can only say that what the Kobold NPCs did was not in the game company's plan, they were spontaneous intelligent thinking behaviors, and the computing resources they occupied at that time did not exceed Default limit."

To put it simply, the intelligence of the kobold NPCs is equivalent to that of an ordinary household artificial intelligence, capable of independent thinking.

After questioning the two female players, the investigators updated the files of the two female players, saying "no abnormality for now".

That night, the three players woke up.

The Institute sent brain expert researchers to investigate their mental state.

When the three players woke up, they were shocked to see a group of people in research uniforms surrounding the hospital bed.

"Don't worry, we are members of the Omnic City Research Institute, and we are here to investigate your encounters in the game." When the brain expert asked, he also closely checked the brain waves of the three people.

Leather armor assassin player Wang Qing heard the other party's content, and his fuzzy brain vaguely thought of something, but he couldn't remember it.

"I, I don't seem to remember." Wang Qing rubbed his head and said.

"Amnesia? Well, it should be that the brain has suffered from great mental stimulation, resulting in amnesia..." the brain expert calmly analyzed.

The other two players are similar. They don't remember what they played in the game. They really can't recall that memory.

If you insist on thinking about it, you will have severe pain in your head, and you will be overwhelmed with pain, and you will give up thinking.

Seeing such a situation, the brain experts were also a little anxious.

If nothing is done, this accident can only end with the title "the player's mental abnormality caused the game cabin to sound an alarm".

Soon, someone received the latest order: "The director said that for the purpose of treating people, we should learn a little bit about the process of treating mental trauma."

The brain expert nodded, that's all he could do.

To treat mental trauma, mild hypnosis can be used to elicit the subconscious mind of the other party, and use the subconscious mind to treat the patient's psychological state in turn.

After the doctors decided on the treatment, they disclosed the reason to the three patients so that the patients could know their own status.

The three learned that they have memory faults and may encounter unexplained mental trauma. Currently, the research institute has a set of safe and high-success rate treatments for amnesia, which they can try to treat.

The three patients believed in the strength of the institute. It not only studies industrial technology, but also has deep research on other technologies.

After signing the consent form for treatment, the three of them came to the Omnic City Research Institute in the early hours of the night.

As mentioned earlier, the player is very healthy and does not need to rest in bed, and his mental state is not abnormal, because the brain automatically blocks that memory, the three of them seem to be okay, and can't remember what they did in the game yesterday.

The leather armor assassin player Wang Qing entered a closed secret room. There were some very beautiful scenery photos in the secret room. There, look at him gently, and ask him to take a seat.

Wang Qing's tense nerves subconsciously eased down.

He sat on a soft chair and chatted with the female doctor. He didn't talk about amnesia or games. The two communicated harmoniously and naturally like friends.

As he talked, Wang Qing felt his consciousness became a little dull, the voice in his ears gradually became blurred, and his thinking slowed down.

The female doctor took the initiative to lead the topic, took out a light drawing board, put it in front of Wang Qing's desk, and asked him to draw something on the paper.

He didn't remember exactly what to draw, so he subconsciously obeyed the other party's request and drew casually with his hands.

In the eyes of the female doctor and the surveillance camera, the painting changed from blank to simple scribbled painting.

He drew a little slowly, moving his hands subconsciously, and gradually outlined the background of countless black villains kneeling in the mountain village.

Among them, the five stick figures have a different painting style from the black villain. The black villain is a person with a hat and no face, while the head of the stick man has eyes, mouth, nose and ears, representing five players.

The style of painting is hazy and unclear, like children's graffiti. It is not the work of a master painter, but everyone can see the meaning expressed in the painting.

That was the scene when the player lost his memory, and it was also the scene that impressed his brain the most, and it was also the scene with the greatest impact.

After painting the mountain village and the black villain, Wang Qing began to draw a well, which is suspected to be the arc of a magic circle.

All of a sudden, his palm violently shook wildly in the blank space above the well, and the messy and crazy lines cut through the paper like lightning!

At this time, the monitor beeps.

"Warning! Patient's heart rate rises to 150 beats per minute!"

"Warning! Brain wave changes are too drastic! The patient is too excited and nervous!"

The female doctor began to sweat on her forehead. She glanced at the other party's unfinished painting, gritted her teeth, and could only stop the treatment.

Snapped!

She snapped her fingers.

Snapping his fingers was like a switch for the return of consciousness. When Wang Qing heard the snapping of his fingers, his brain exploded like a thunder, and he woke up immediately.

The movement of drawing with his hands stopped immediately, he blinked, completely unaware of what happened just now, and said, "Ah, sorry, where did we talk just now?"

After he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, subconsciously lowered his head, and saw a child's graffiti-like painting of a mountain village sacrifice.

"What's this?"

"Why am I holding a pen?"

Leather Assassin player Wang Qing was at a loss. Looking at this ugly painting, for some reason, he felt a strange familiarity.

He blinked, and the stickman in the painting seemed to come to life, moved his head, and glanced at him.

But when he looked at the painting in his hand again, the stickman didn't look at him, but looked up at the messy ball of lines above the well.

He must have been blindsided.
