I went crazy in the holographic world

Chapter 164 Punishment
The three of them turned their heads and looked at the person who spoke.

The man was a little confused when he saw everyone looking at him, thinking that he was speaking too loudly. There were three people standing around him, who seemed to be his teammates, and they looked a little bad.

They are new players like them.

Jia Ruoer didn't pay too much attention. He glanced at it and then looked away.

……

Jia Ruoer and the others don't have a map now, and they can't tell the direction here.

I don’t know how the previous players’ positions were determined in that exploration record.

But when they came yesterday, they came from the direction facing the door of the shelter, which is located at the corner of the intersection.

So the three decided to continue exploring along the route they took yesterday.

The roads here are very spacious and the urban roads are well planned.

But when the three of them were walking on the road, except for the high-rise buildings with closed doors, they didn't see any other different buildings.

During this period, you will occasionally encounter some players who are also exploring for clues.

However, everyone was very cautious and did not communicate too much with each other.

They are still not sure whether this is a confrontation game copy. If it is a confrontation system, other players may be their enemies.

The three of them passed another intersection. Qi Kane looked at the closed door of the building and said, "Do you think there is no NPC in this place except for us players? Isn't it a little too abnormal?"

"There is something abnormal." Jia Ruoer also looked at those buildings.

There are so many houses here, but every building is locked, making it difficult for them not to notice.

"Do you think that if we forcefully open these locks, will it be considered a violation of the rules?" Qi Kain stopped in front of a door, holding the lock in his hand, thinking about the feasibility of forcing the door open.

"It shouldn't be possible. If it were possible, those who have been here long ago should also be able to think of this. But now all the houses in the city are very perfect. Either the lock cannot be opened without special means, or it has been opened before. All the people in these locks have been eliminated.”

As soon as Jia Ruoer said this, Qi Kain immediately put down the hand holding the lock, but still refused to give up, "But these locks are too strange."

"Let's wait and see. Maybe someone will try it first." Yin Xiyue said calmly, "If something happens by then, I should be able to get some information when I return to the shelter."

"That's what you said." Qi Kain stopped looking at the locks and his eyes drifted forward aimlessly. "I remember that the directions recorded in the book before were not far from the shelter, and the furthest was no more than 3000 meters. But if we go It’s been so long, it should be more than 3000 meters away, why didn’t we see anything?”

Jia Ruoer heard Qikan's words and reminded: "There is another sentence behind it. A new accident has occurred and all areas need to be re-explored. It may be because of that accident that the city buildings have undergone certain displacements."

Qi Kain grabbed his hair again, looking very troubled, "Hey, it's really nerve-wracking. This dungeon is too confusing. If the rewards don't match our efforts..."

"Uh-huh, what else can we do?" Jia Ruoer asked.

Qi Kain said with some dejection: "Nothing can be done."

Yin Xiyue smiled unconsciously when she saw Qi Kain like this.

The three of them were pondering here when a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.

Then a puff of black smoke spread over there.

Jia Ruoer and the others were still some distance away. They only heard noises and saw black smoke, but they couldn't see clearly what was happening over there.

Jia Ruoer frowned slightly, "Do you want to take a look?"

"Let's go and take a look. This is the only unusual thing we encountered today." "Yeah."

The three of them quickly reached a consensus and rushed over there.

After arriving at the scene, I found that a door had been opened, and the lock on the door had been thrown aside, with no one paying attention.

And from inside that door, black smoke kept coming out.

There were many people gathered outside the door.

This is the first time that Jia Ruoer and the others have seen so many players gathered together after entering this dungeon, except in that pure white space. Before, they could only meet some scattered people.

If he hadn't seen it now, Jiaruo would even suspect that everyone had been transported to different locations.

Among a group of people, Jia Ruoer found that the six players on No. 37 were also there, but they were a little far away. They seemed to have just arrived and were standing on the periphery of the crowd.

Jiaruoer glanced at them, then withdrew his gaze, and turned to look at the three people in front of the door who were darkened by the black smoke.

It seemed like they were the ones who picked the lock.

They didn't have any tools in their hands, so they didn't know how they picked the lock.

However, they didn't seem to expect that the situation would be like this after the door was opened.

The black smoke at the door was so thick that it was difficult to see the scene inside, and if you got close, you would be stained by the smoke.

The three people seemed to know that they didn't look good at the moment. They tried to rub the ash on their faces onto their clothes, but it was completely useless. The ash was tightly adhered to their skin. They wiped it hard, but they couldn't remove it. The ashes were rubbed into it.

However, their clothes are all clean now, but the exposed skin has darkened.

[Don’t waste your efforts, break the rules, but you will be punished]

At this moment, the system sound that appeared in the pure white space sounded again.

After the players gathered nearby heard what the system said, there was an uproar. Opening the lock was tantamount to breaking the rules.

In other words, one of the rules of this world is that these locks cannot be opened.

"What do you mean! Tell me clearly! What a violation of the rules. There is no one here except us players. There is obviously no one in these houses. If we open the lock, it is not a violation of the rules at all."

"Yes, and you didn't tell us that these locks couldn't be opened."

"Besides, we just opened the lock and didn't go in at all!"

The three people who were judged by the system as breaking the rules were very unconvinced and wanted the system to give them an explanation.

[Let me make it clear, everyone must abide by the rules, and those who do not abide by the rules will be punished. Isn’t this what I told you from the beginning?

The system seemed to be in a good mood and explained very patiently.

[Hey, why don’t you understand?Privately destroying other people's residences, regardless of whether you enter or not, is against the rules.】

[There is no one in the house, so you can enter at will?This idea is against the rules.Moreover, who told you that there is no one here?]

"You, you said you should speak carefully, otherwise you will be punished, and you didn't say what we did!" Even then, the man was still very clear-headed, looking for loopholes in the system's words, trying to avoid punishment.
