The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 1654 - 1659: Memory Erasure
The world was once again dominated by another piece of news, that the Mu Group was going to hold a press conference, and surprisingly, the advertisement featured that black hole?
Everyone was stunned, unable to understand what was going on. Some began to suspect that the black hole in the sky was an experiment by the Mu Group.
The topic of the black hole grew increasingly heated, eventually spiraling out of control.
Meanwhile, the Mu Group’s press conference began, and to everyone’s surprise, the thing they unveiled was actually a game product.
This was worth considering; at this time, the Mu Group actually launched a game product, featuring a black hole on it, with the words "bridging reality and the virtual world."
This item was a helmet, a gaming helmet that allowed people to enter its virtual world, with the helmet being distributed globally for free.
This news left everyone bewildered, unclear about what it entailed, but as soon as they tried the helmet, they completely fell in love with it.
Lin Fei also gave it a try, and as soon as his head felt dizzy, he realized he was already in the game, able to control his hands and feet, with his body exactly the same as in reality, and there were other modes as well; it was indeed a virtual world, and the opening scene featured the enormous black hole, constantly swirling before him, eventually even swallowing a city.
Nobody knew why the Mu Group created such a thing, but clearly, the game entered the real world, making a distinction between the two. At this point, nobody noticed that a mysterious little object had appeared in the sky, continuously spraying a type of gas downward, and anyone who inhaled this gas would experience memory loss.
The Mu Group’s technology managed to get everyone to wear the helmets; those who didn’t wear them didn’t matter, since the minority follows the majority, and when many believed that such occurrences were fake, even if they were real, they would be deemed fake.
Utilizing this thought, the Mu Group brought everyone into the game world, showing them what they saw in reality, causing confusion between reality and virtuality, making people believe virtuality was reality, and there were reports claiming that the game was too realistic, leading some to feel that virtuality was reality.
Lin Fei was truly impressed with Mu Shanshan, astonished that Mu Shanshan could pull off such a feat.
This matter seemed resolved, but new problems arose. Lin Fei discovered that the Divine Stone began to flicker, indicating that someone from the Upper Realm had arrived in the Lower Realm again, which troubled him. These folks from the Upper Realm continually came to the Lower Realm, disturbing peace, and needed to be thoroughly dealt with!
Lin Fei didn’t have the leisure to continually accompany them, so he decided to find a new plan to grant this world a peaceful life.
Looking at the glowing stone in his hand, Lin Fei used the Divine Stone to search for traces of people from the Upper Realm, successfully locating one. However, this person from the Upper Realm seemed peculiar, lying on the ground asleep?
This wasn’t something someone from the Upper Realm would do; it was too leisurely.
"Hey? Who are you? Why are you spying on me while I sleep?" The young man asked Lin Fei.
Lin Fei observed the young man, appearing to be in his twenties, but surely his actual age wasn’t just that; regardless, the person was from the Upper Realm and couldn’t stay in the Lower Realm.
"You’re from the Upper Realm, right?"
"That’s right, what’s the matter?"
The young man’s justified demeanor left Lin Fei speechless.
"Don’t you know that people from the Upper Realm are prohibited in the Lower Realm?" Lin Fei asked.
"I really don’t know, but now that you’ve told me, I understand. So what?" The young man puzzledly scratched his head, unclear about Lin Fei’s intent.
"Heh, now that you understand, let me inform you, I am a Law Enforcer of the Lower Realm. You’ve violated the rules by coming to the Lower Realm, so I’m going to impose sanctions on you!"
"You’re a Law Enforcer?" The young man looked at Lin Fei in surprise.
"Yes, what’s the matter?" Lin Fei frowned, feeling this young man was somewhat odd, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint how.
The youth stood up from the ground, looking at Lin Fei, "I’m from Qingyun Mountain in the Upper Realm, and I heard you have a Divine Artifact, so I asked the Elder to let me come to the Lower Realm to find you. Unexpectedly, you couldn’t wait to find me, quite surprising."
Hearing the young man’s words, Lin Fei was even more puzzled, "Why did you come to the Lower Realm?"
"Why? Of course, it’s for the Divine Artifact. But you know, our Qingyun Sect doesn’t like conflict, right?"
"I don’t know."
The young man paused, then chuckled, "I know you don’t know. Let me introduce you; our Qingyun Sect doesn’t enjoy conflict, so I came here just to borrow your Divine Artifact for observation, to see what the Divine Artifact feels like, since I’ve grown up never having seen one."
"I refuse." Lin Fei flatly rejected the young man’s proposal; a Divine Artifact wasn’t something one could see on a whim, what a joke, a Divine Artifact was immensely important to anyone.
