Chapter 93: Seal of Blood
Linghu Wetland Park.
The unnamed river was surrounded by burnt mud and tree trunks.
The previous fire had been extinguished, and the torches surrounded the open space, enclosing the twenty-nine dejected prisoners.
It was already late at night, and it would be dawn in a few hours.
Night Ten, who was guarding on the side, yawned and looked at Old White.
"How long will the Administrator be back?"
"I do not know."
"Where is Gale?"
Ample Time gestured to the cave-dwelling dug halfway by the river with his chin.
"He still has a class in the afternoon, so he went to sleep there."
It was actually very convenient to log off in this game. In addition to logging out safely at the resurrection point, players could be disconnected anywhere as long as they lost their consciousness.
This includes but is not limited to being knocked out, or falling asleep normally.
It was just that the genetic sequence progress couldn't be saved in this way.
Hearing that Gale had actually gone to his class, Night Ten asked suspiciously. "Didn't he send the PPT to his assistant?"
"I don't know, maybe he’s still worried about his students. Anyway, the team battle is over. He looked pretty worried so I let him go offline first. When he wakes up, he can take over."
As the oldest member of the Bull and Horse club, Old White was probably the one who had been in contact with Gale for the longest time, and was also the person who knew him best in the club.
"... Gale may look like a guy who likes to brag in the group every day, but in reality, he is actually a very honest and diligent man. He has no other hobbies except games."
Night Ten chuckled. "Honest and diligent? I don't see it. But he does look like a wild person secretly."
Old White laughed. "Haha, you only dare say that when he is not online."
Night Ten: "By the way… after we log out of the game, our in-game characters would have no responses no matter what you do to it, right?"
"Probably so, meaning that logging out of the game in the non-secure zone is actually quite dangerous if no one is watching," Ample Time glanced at Night Ten, "What do you want to do?"
Night Ten rolled his eyes. "I didn't want to do anything, I was just thinking… If we are all offline, couldn't the NPCs do whatever they want to us in the culture chamber?"
Hearing such a dirty thought, both Old White and Ample Time choked on their saliva.
"Pff."
"Ahem! That's enough. Please don't use your nasty thoughts to speculate on others. Moreover, this kind of unprovoked speculation has no meaning at all. You have neither evidence to prove it, nor evidence to falsify it. Similar questions include but are not limited to, ‘Have aliens been around us all the time?’, ‘Is our world actually a game?’, and ‘Is the science that we know is still valid outside our 'apparent horizon'?’ Infinite suspicion is purely seeking trouble, unless you can find reliable evidence."
"What do you mean ‘nasty’?! Can't I be curious about it? Otherwise, what do you do when you stand guard? Just stare into nothingness? And why do you sound more and more like Gale?" Night Ten rolled his eyes silently.
Ample Time shrugged. "No, it's just that people who think about this problem are very problematic."
Old White nodded in agreement, giving Night Ten another strike, "Yes, and I don't think anyone will do whatever they want with your body."
