Alien paradise

Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly opened the VR glasses and found that everything he was familiar with was back in his field of vision - the cold ceiling, the small room with soundproof panels, the messy desk, and the concerned eyes of several colleagues.

"Hey, are you okay?" Cui Zhenen handed over a towel, "Wipe it off, you are all wet with sweat."

Only then did Zhang Zhiyuan notice that his arm was covered with several patches, and a medical instrument next to him was making a steady buzz.

"...Are you measuring my heartbeat and blood pressure?"

"No way, who made you look in pain just now." Another colleague replied.

Zhang Zhiyuan recognized her because of the tranquility in the medical room. Government agencies always have a doctor on hand for emergency treatment, but most of the time it is unnecessary. This was the first time he saw the other person in the office.

"I said, there is no need to have such an exaggerated reaction when playing a VR game, right?" Cui Zhenen looked puzzled. "You are shaking all over and opening your mouth to breathe. People who don't know would think you are suffering from something. If you weren't During the mission, all the vital signs were normal, I almost wanted to take off my glasses and see for myself... To be honest, if a game can make you like this, it would definitely be a joke to spread the word."

"Is it really just playing games?" Jing Jing took off the patch and packed up the equipment and said, "You looked very worried when you came to the medical room to see me."

"I... No!" Cui Zhenen quickly retorted, "It's mainly because his reaction scared me!"

By the way...Paradise Games...

Zhang Zhiyuan pressed his head, and a large number of memories rushed into his mind, making him dizzy for a moment! An unknown seaport city, completely different residents, a burning grand theater, and the police station in the north of the city... His last memory stayed on the disguised corpse and the huge fist flying towards him, and then there was the deathly darkness, everything It was like a nightmare, and he had woken up from it.

"How long did I stay?"

"Are you asking about the time after putting on the VR?" Cui Zhenen looked up at the wall clock, "It's less than twenty minutes. Officer Zhang, what exactly did you see in the park game? Can you tell me quickly? ?”

Only twenty minutes?

These new memories he has are obviously more than that!

"I saw one..." Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly closed his mouth mid-sentence. He looked at Cui Zhenen for a moment and then changed his words, "Where is Gao Jie? I want to see him immediately!"

"Director Gao is having a meeting outside. It will probably take another hour before he comes back." Cui Zhenen frowned, "What, is there anything you can't tell us?"

"Xiao Zhang, you didn't discover any important information. Do you want to take all the credit?" Some colleagues around him joked.

"Hahaha... how is that possible!" Zhang Zhiyuan said with a grin, "It's just that when I was investigating the paradise, the High Bureau assigned me a separate task. I have to tell him first."

After saying that, he stood up and put on his uniform, "Where is the meeting, boss?"

…

"It seems like your kid doesn't want to invite me to dinner?" Gao Wei walked into the door and hung his coat on the hanger. "Tell me, what is it that has to bring me to your house to talk about it?"

Zhang Zhiyuan pushed the clutter piled up on the sofa left and right to clear a space for his boss to sit, "I'm sorry, it's very messy here. You can just sit down."

"Okay, I've been in the jungles on the border. If you have anything to say, just say it." Gao Wei signaled that he didn't have to go through any further trouble.

Zhang Zhiyuan also knew that he was highly valued by his superiors, so he could invite the other party here. But the leader's trust is not endless, and he must get to the point quickly. "High Bureau, my home is a relatively safe place. The sound insulation is very good. No neighbors can hear anything I say... After much thought, this is the only place suitable for making reports."

"Report?" Gao Wei was confused for a moment, "Is it related to the paradise and Wayne James? Can't it be done in our office building?"

"Not quite...appropriate."

Gao Wei stared at Zhang Zhiyuan for a long time, and the latter's eyes were full of persistence.

"Then you say it and I'll listen." He sat on the sofa and said.

"Yes." Zhang Zhiyuan saluted, and then recounted his entire experience of participating in the park game. He didn't speak slowly, but it took him nearly half an hour to finish. Gao Wei hardly interrupted him during this process, but the doubt in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"I know all this is unbelievable. Even if I have seen it with my own eyes, it still feels like a dream." Zhang Zhiyuan clenched his fists, "But I can guarantee with my party spirit that everything I say is the truth and there is absolutely no fabrication." Place!"

Gao Wei rubbed his forehead, with a hint of helplessness on his face, "You mean, Brilliant Castle is not a city in the game, but exists in reality? And the paradise controls the secret passage leading to it? Through a VR Glasses?"

Zhang Zhiyuan's heart sank slightly. He knew that his boss did not completely believe his words.

But this was within his expectations.

He knew this was no easy thing to believe.

Lao Gao didn't get angry or walk away, which can be said to be enlightened enough. If it were any other leader, he doubted that he would be regarded as a fool and kicked out of the police force after saying this.

But precisely because it was not easy, he had to try his best.

"Of course, another explanation is that the park has mastered an extremely advanced virtual reality technology, so that it can completely simulate a real city, as well as the residents and scenery in the city." Zhang Zhiyuan continued, "The two explanations are from From an incredible point of view, they are almost the same, but I believe it is the former one."

"Why?" Gao Wei pondered for a moment, "If you want to say complete simulation, it is indeed technically difficult, but at least it is theoretically possible. For example, in the recently popular TV series, isn't it because someone obtained the alien Does technology create miracles?"

"Indeed, but I have my reasons. It's just that the time is too short now, and I haven't sorted it out very comprehensively..."

"It doesn't matter, just say whatever comes to mind."

"The biggest problem... I think is profit." Zhang Zhiyuan took a deep breath, "If the park really masters this technology, making a game will be the lowest-profit approach! Yes, it is currently aimed at the rich, and tickets are not Low, but high end, do you think organizations with this kind of technology will be short of money?”

Introducing consciousness into a fictional world is, in a sense, immortality! Compared with the temptation of eternal life, what is a mere game? If it were a paradise, it wouldn't create a virtual world of steam civilization at all. Wouldn't it be better to directly simulate reality? Even if you are not granted eternal life, even if you just rent out a conference room or a laboratory, you can still use the time difference to add dozens of times more time out of thin air. This is enough to drive business giants and researchers crazy!

Unless... Paradise cannot be changed!

"That's the truth..." Gao Wei thought thoughtfully, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, but this is just my personal feeling." Zhang Zhiyuan paused, "If the park can freely virtual world, then it should be the master of the game. But I feel... they are not like this. The reason why the park is It came to us because it needed us.”

"Need... us?" Gao Wei was stunned.

"Yes." Zhang Zhiyuan looked directly at his boss, "Paradise's intrusion into the Interpol building's network is not a provocation, but a deliberate invitation. It knows that we are investigating Wayne James, and it also knows that we will definitely take the bait. !”
