As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 253 Water Element

In many cases, the so-called random lottery draws are arranged in advance.

But this time the lottery is not, Kechuang has enough confidence in the future, there is no need to engage in these small tricks.

They are confident that their products can win the recognition and respect of users, and they don't need to finish a press conference by prearranging such a low way.

So Lawrence and Jim were lucky spectators randomly drawn to the stage.

Lawrence had tried to find traces of magic since he was a freshman, but that time he failed due to Herman's lack of physical strength.

Although they knew Rowling's real route from Manchester to London, they didn't complete that route at that time, or they didn't even complete one-tenth of it.

Later, even after they got their driver's licenses, they didn't have the opportunity to go all over again.

This time, I came to London to participate in the press conference of the future of science and technology, but also because it happened to be in time for the Christmas holiday.

Both he and Herman are big fans of brain-computer connected VR.

"Next, we will invite you two to experience our fighting game, the VR version of "The King of Fighters" jointly created by SNK and Goose Factory."

The King of Fighters is also a classic of the times. It was all the rage because of its ability to fight online.

This game is mainly popular in the three East Asian countries of Huaguo, Neon and Goryeo.

Fortunately, it is a classic game, even in Europe and America, everyone has basically heard of it.

The reason why Goose Factory launched the VR King of Fighters is also because it bought the copyright of the adaptation of King of Fighters back then, but it has not been able to recover the cost.

This time the brain-computer connection has achieved a higher degree of freedom, and Goose Factory wanted to take out the King of Fighters and renovate it.

Let's see if the current players will buy it. Anyway, the characters and combat mechanisms are ready-made, and you just need to change them accordingly.

Lawrence on the stage didn't have much intention of winning or losing, because in his opinion, winning or losing doesn't matter. The most important thing is that the second-generation brain-computer connection VR can meet his expectations.

On the other hand, Herman in the audience was very nervous, praying in his heart: You must win, the discount of [-] euros in vouchers.

After the dedicated staff put on helmets and gloves for Lawrence and Jim, Song Zhiwen said: "You two can choose the logo of King of Fighters, and then choose to fight online."

The on-site wifi7 is fully capable of allowing the two to fight with ultra-low latency.

After Lawrence put on the helmet and entered the VR system interface, he found it smoother.

Not only is the system optimization smoother, but the brain-controlled display interface is also smoother.

The selection screen is displayed on the big screen behind, and there are all the classic characters of King of Fighters.

Unlike cooperating with other game manufacturers who always want to create something of their own, Goose Factory has always been doing what it can to make money.

Like this model of buying the copyright of classic games to redevelop and operate, Goose Factory will respect the successful elements of classic games as much as possible, and will not make major changes in these elements.

"What's next is exciting"

Before Song Zhiwen could finish speaking, there was a loud noise in the southeast corner of the venue, which could be heard throughout the venue.

"Sorry, everyone, please leave in an orderly manner!"

A water elemental appeared out of thin air in the southeast corner. Unlike the blue water elemental summoned by the first skill of the archmage in Warcraft, the water elemental in the southeast corner was a little black.

There is still a certain difference between water and air, so that Song Zhiwen can clearly see that it is a humanoid monster made of water.

Song Zhiwen is no stranger to Warcraft as a strategy game that was once popular all over the world. He was a good man-machine player back then.

He felt that the monster was very similar to the water element in Warcraft.

The monster is about 2.5 meters tall and is walking towards the middle from the edge of the southeast corner.

"Damn it, it's really fucking unlucky to have such a thing happen." Song Zhiwen felt his heart pounding.

Traveling all over the world for so many years, when I was on the Black Shark mobile phone, I held many press conferences, and it was the first time I saw the water element to make trouble.

"Please pay attention to your own safety and leave the venue in an orderly manner. Now everyone's personal safety is the most important thing. If you want to take pictures and videos, please ensure your own safety before taking pictures and videos."

What made Song Zhiwen speechless was that there was a burst of exclamation around, but no one ran, but everyone was taking pictures and videos.

There were even spectators around who tried to attack the water element, but were knocked down by a backhand water polo.

The water element has already shown a strong aggressiveness, and it is constantly gathering water polo in its hands to attack the surrounding audience.

Even so, as long as there is no attack, the audience is taking pictures, and no one knows to leave.

The water element is constantly attacking the surrounding crowd, walking in a straight line towards the stage of the venue.

After Song Zhiwen finished speaking, he told his subordinates: "Take the two guests on the stage away from the scene, and then let the security personnel go up, call the police immediately, and contact the *Embassy* of Huaguo University."

Song Zhiwen knew that everyone could panic now, but he couldn't.

The water polo gathered between the hands of the water element showed a powerful impact, and several of the audience who were hit fainted.

Song Zhiwen knew that he must not run at such a time, even if the water element was coming directly at him, he could not leave until all the audience left safely.

If he leaves, Kechuang's corporate image will be greatly affected in the future. God knows how the Western media will criticize them.

Song Zhiwen has been engaged in marketing for so many years, and he is well aware of the difficulties of Huaguo enterprises in expanding in the international market, as well as the double-standard behavior they often face.

If it were a European or American company, even if the executives on the scene ran away immediately, it wouldn't cause any disturbance, but he couldn't.

"Please leave the venue in an orderly manner! Ensure your personal safety."

Footage from the scene has been uploaded to social media by thousands of spectators present.

Magic, giants, water elements, and a new generation of brain-computer connection VR, all the most popular elements are intertwined, making this event quickly fermented on the Internet.

Waterelement directly rushed to the top of the Twitter trending list in the entire England and even the Europa League region.

Along with related words such as Warcraft, Science and Technology Innovation Future, and press conferences, they all rushed to the hot search.

People who live around the press conference are rushing here. This excitement is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The incident quickly fermented, and after the water element rushed onto the stage, it knocked down all the staff members who hadn't had time to escape.

As soon as Lawrence took off his helmet, he saw the water elemental rushing up, and then fell unconscious.

When he woke up in the Royal London Hospital, he found out what happened from the mobile phone video taken by Hermann.

"Water elements raged at the conference site of the new generation of brain-computer connected VR of Science and Technology Innovation, causing hundreds of injuries."

"Major changes occurred at the conference site of technology giants"

"The first large-scale mass magic event"

"Downing Street is lying!"

The response from London was very quick, and the police and ambulance were rushed there immediately.

But it was still not fast enough. By the time they arrived at the water elemental, the scene had been messed up, a large number of people had been injured, and the water elemental was left with only a puddle of water on the ground, as if mocking their efficiency.

The relevant personnel in No. [-] Downing Street were even more blind-eyed.

Not only because of the magical incident, but more importantly, they refuted the rumors in the morning, saying that the previous video on FB was a fictional prop.

As a result, the water element staged a big scene in the most prosperous core area of ​​London in the afternoon.

Once this is associated by the media or political opponents, no, it will definitely be associated.

Once it is found to be a lie, the credibility of this government will be seriously challenged, and even affect subsequent governance.

At this time, the entire social media in England was having a carnival, especially when the media broke the news that only people were injured but no casualties at the scene, everyone's discussions became more heated.

There may be casualties, which may need to be taken into account.

The on-site video and related samples were sent to the designated place as soon as possible.

Wiles had just started learning magic from Charles, and this happened to him.

After the two sat in front of the monitor and watched the entire video, Wiles asked, "Can you summon this water element?"

Charles shook his head again and again: "This is beyond my ability. Maybe I can do it in the future, but obviously not now."

"And in my memory, there are water elemental spells in the dark net, but I don't have permission to learn them."

Wiles was thoughtful. After they learned the ins and outs of Charles learning magic, they kept trying to find the dark web where he entered, but they found nothing.

Therefore, the internal network security department is skeptical of what Charles said.

They believe that there is no such website at all, and that it was deliberately fabricated by Charles in order to confuse the public.

England even wanted to go to Huaguo to borrow a lie detector and use it.

After Huaguo's truth system went public, the effect was good, and a benign public opinion supervision mechanism was formed for the grassroots.

The situation of the media's random fabrications has improved.

Small self-media bloggers are temporarily out of control, but basically licensed media cannot fabricate news at will.

Although the system has been attacked internationally for violating freedom of speech, some high-level officials in the American side publicly stated that they also need to introduce the truth system:
"The ubiquitous fake news needs to be rectified."

And the governments of various countries have also heard about the polygraph equipment developed by China based on brain-computer connection technology.

Wiles speculates that there are indeed similar websites for learning magic publicly, and that more than one person in London has learned magic.

It's just that this method of online learning is very similar to Merlin, and he wondered if it was Merlin.

If it was Merlin, what was Merlin's purpose for doing this?
"What we're trying to do now is figure out how many mages there are in London.

Who was the earliest mage at the same time?And what is the current upper limit of power among wild mages.

The biggest good news about this incident is that there were no casualties, just some minor concussions.

This is determined by the water element, and the power needs to be realized by kinetic energy.

But what if it's the magic of the thunder element this time?Are there casualties? "

"Does Charles know that there are other mages besides him? And is there a related mage organization in London?"

"Charles says he's only recently mastered magic and doesn't know anything about it."

"Check the live video frame by frame today, and first determine the caster of the water element today."

"In addition, let the Europa League send an investigation team over. This matter has fermented to this day, and it is no longer something our family can handle."

"Before we let them come, we need to agree that whatever is found, England has a right to know and at least half the ownership."

The water element made a big fuss at the press conference, and the news quickly became a hot topic of global public opinion that day, and the English government couldn't suppress it.

The video has been spread all over the sky.

"What the fuck, who summoned the water element? Sure enough, there are magicians in London"

"Don't you pay attention to why you chose the brain-computer connection VR press conference? And I watched the video obviously for the future of science and technology."

"Scientific and biological innovations affect the interests of too many people, and how many VR manufacturers have closed down after the birth of brain-computer connected VR.

We must know that these VR manufacturers can get tens of millions of euros in venture capital as long as they have a little bit of powerful technology before Kechuang Bio enters the market.

In the current VR industry, basically no startups can get venture capital.I don't care about these, I only care about what is the magic?

Didn't Downing Street say this morning that the magic video on FB is a prop?

Today's water element can't still be a prop, can it?

Which company has this technology?"

"Kechuangbiology is also unlucky. The press conference that was finally held was ruined like this. I was shocked when I watched the live broadcast."

"The English government needs to take the blame and step down and take responsibility for this incident!"

"It's so handsome, it's been many years since the last time I saw magic."

The incident instantly set off a wave of searching for magic.

At present, only the news that London can use magic is still in a state of blockade, so there is no large-scale gathering event.

At the same time, in Gusu, thousands of miles away, Kechuang Future held a board meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures.

The entire magic net was arranged by Zheng Li, and the management authority of the backstage was also firmly in his hands.

Zheng Li checked and found out what was going on. A certain user who came into contact with Monet earlier was a victim of globalization and was also an extreme conservative.

After the opponent mastered magic and thought he had reached a certain level of power, he wanted to make trouble. Anyway, he couldn't find him doing things through the water element.

Coupled with the fact that there were more than [-] spectators at the press conference of Kechuang Future, he thought that no matter how he checked, he would not be found.

Zheng Li laughed, this conservative actually got the first "magic wand" he cast in the whole of England.

It is precisely because of having a wand that spells of such magnitude can be cast.

In the simple magic net constructed by Zheng Li, the water element is already a large-scale spell.

The entire magic net can be used by the entire London area, but the power, for most people, is at the level of rubbing fireballs with hands.

If you want to cast a spell with certain lethality, you must obtain a "magic wand", which means a greater authority to use the magic net.

Just like the same network, some can reach a download speed of 1000m/s, while others can only reach 10m/s, this is the difference in permissions.
