I participated in the development of EVA

"I think there is no doubt about this. He must have set some restrictions in this regard. We can only rely on our own strength to break the technical barriers erected by the Three Sages System."

Representatives from the three major countries discussed the issue of quantum computing for a while before responding to Zhao Shuo's message.

[As long as it does not affect the research, leave it alone. 】

Zhao Shuo glanced at the message on his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really worried just now that his superiors asked him to forcefully wake up Ikari Fumihiko, which would undoubtedly make Ikari Fumihiko bear a grudge against him.

He looked at Naoko Akagi and confirmed again.

“Can cutting off the power really solve the problem?”

Naoko Akagi explained patiently.

"Neural connections require electricity to operate."

Then he lowered his head and continued his research.

Time passed quickly, and two days went by in the blink of an eye, but Fumihiko Ikari still showed no signs of waking up.

"Is it almost time? It's been three days..."

Naoko Akagi didn't say anything, but just tapped on the keyboard, locking Fumihiko Ikari's game account through the system background program.

At this moment, Fumihiko Ikari was actively playing the game dungeon with the group.

She stared at the screen for a while, still unable to see the point of this killing game, so she tried to send a message to Ikari Fumihiko, but the result was the same: the message failed to send due to an unknown error.

After hesitating for a moment, she replied.

"Not urgent."

Zhao Shuo was speechless.

It's been three days... and you're still not in a hurry! ? How can you be so careless?

He didn't dare let the situation continue to develop in this way.

"It's almost done. It's been three days... At least we should confirm the situation, right?"

"Okay, wait until he finishes this copy."

After saying that, Naoko Akagi paused, took out her cell phone, and sent a message to Ritsuko Akagi.

[Go into the game and inform Ikari Fumihiko that it's time to come back.]

When Ritsuko Akagi received the message, she frowned and replied.

[Mother, he will be blacklisted, and my message cannot be sent.]

Naoko Akagi looked at this information and thought about it in her heart.

The messages sent in the game are also blocked? Is this a complete blockage of the heart?

【Let Rei Ayanami log in to the game and try it out. 】

Ritsuko Akagi realized something was wrong and asked back nervously.

【Mother, what happened to him? 】

[Nothing, I just closed my heart in the game to escape reality, shut down all communication channels, and didn't want to quit the game. I have been playing for three days and three nights.]

Ritsuko Akagi was a little confused.

No way! Is he really getting more addicted?

???

At this moment, she felt a little regretful that she had suggested to Fumihiko Ikari to use the virtual cabin to play games.

【I'll arrange it right away.】

Ritsuko Akagi got up and went to the virtual reality project team upstairs.

Rei Ayanami was cooperating with the training, so she went straight to the person in charge, terminated the training program, and took Rei Ayanami away.

"Li, go online and send a message to that guy who is addicted to the game and ask him to log off."

"Yes."

Rei Ayanami followed Ritsuko Akagi's instructions and entered the virtual cabin to log into the game.

An interim message was sent.

【It’s time to log off. 】

however……

The result is the same, the message sending failed due to an unknown error.

Ritsuko Akagi, who was always observing Rei Ayanami's movements, did not notice the four-word prompt "unknown error" until this moment.

"What's going on? How could there be an unknown error?"

The unknown error prompt was turned on, but another unknown error prompt popped up.

She understands...

The current situation may not be as simple as my mother said.

So she also entered the game and found Rei Ayanami.

"Come on, accompany me to talk to him face to face."

"Oh."

however……

The two followed the navigation instructions and returned to the city for free not long after leaving the city under siege by high-level wild monsters.

Although Rei Ayanami had never played a virtual game before, she had played many cartridge games with Fumihiko Ikari in the past, so she had a lot of knowledge about games, so she made a summary of the current situation.

"The character's level is too low to go to the high-level area. We need to level up first."

Ritsuko Akagi is in no mood to level up step by step now, and she also knows that even if she does, she won't be able to reach the requirements in a short period of time.

He thought for a moment before speaking again.

"Need not."

Having said that, she wanted to use her descendants' instructions to teleport the two of them to Ikari Fumihiko's side.

It's just that an unknown error popped up after the code instruction was entered.

She was a little confused.

What exactly is this unknown error?

Just when she was confused about the situation, she felt some commotion around her.

Players kept refreshing from the resurrection point, and many players at the scene were repeating the same sentence.

"Monsters are attacking the city—"

"Really? The monsters started attacking the city without any announcement?"

"Why bother so much? Just rush ahead and it will be over!"

"Come on!"

……

The players gathered on the city wall.

Ritsuko Akagi didn't take this seriously. She just lowered her head and tried to enter other commands to modify the data.

however……

Without exception, all of them popped up unknown errors.

She frowned.

what is happening?

At this time, Rei Ayanami spoke up.

"Why don't we go and help?"

Akagi Ritsuko was a little confused, "What can I help you with?"

"They say the monster siege has begun."

"Monster siege?"

"Correct."

"Impossible! According to the setting, the monster siege activity will be activated when the game beta is about to end."

As Ritsuko Akagi said this, she felt the earth shaking violently at this moment.

She followed him to the city wall with a frown on her face.

Outside the city wall, sand and rocks were flying, and countless monsters were rushing towards the city wall from all directions, causing the earth to tremble.

18:47:36

552. Reject

Countless ferocious beasts formed waves, rushing forward with tremendous rage, as if to engulf everything.

Faced with this earth-shaking scene, the players were stunned for a moment, feeling panicked but also excited.

Especially when the war drums are sounded.

Some players were so excited that they jumped directly from the city wall and charged towards the waves of ferocious beasts.

Led by these people, a large number of players followed suit and jumped off the city wall and rushed down together.

however……

The city wall was a hundred meters high. Most low-level players jumped back to the city for free, and the beasts had no wisdom. If they had wisdom, they would definitely be stunned by this scene. Only some high-level players did not fall to death, but they just showed their momentum and provided some blood food for the beasts.

Ritsuko Akagi took a look at the situation here and logged out of the game directly.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the head of the gaming department standing beside me.

Before she could say anything, the person in charge spoke first.

"Go ask the minister if he wants to cancel the internal test by activating the monster siege program in advance!? The average level of players nowadays cannot defend against a wave of attacks."

Ritsuko Akagi asked back in surprise.

"Are you sure this is the level of monster siege activated by the Minister?"

"All our backend permissions have been locked. Who else could have done this except the Minister?"

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

After saying this, Ritsuko Akagi went to the computer to confirm.

However, the background operation records did not show who activated the monster siege program, and did not even show that the monster siege program was activated.

This confused her for a moment. Was there a bug in the system?

wrong……

It shouldn't be a bug.

She picked up the phone.

【Mother, what happened? 】

Akagi Naoko asked back.

[Ayanami Rei can't contact him either? 】

[Yes. Not only that... the game is completely messed up now. No matter what command I enter, an unknown error message pops up.]

Naoko Akagi hadn't noticed this, but she was surprised when she tried it.

Her command was also blocked by an unknown error.

even……

Even the previous command to call up Ikari Fumihiko's game screen became invalid at this moment.
