Upper level, near Hope Base.
As You Huan entered the middle level, the AI revoked its control over the players and NPCs.
Everyone regained consciousness, and the experience of being manipulated just now did not leave any impression in their minds.
Information is description, knowledge, truth, and everything.
Data life is born with information, and cluster AI has reached an extremely advanced level in manipulating the human brain, leaving no loopholes.
Naturally, there will be no plot such as a teenager discovering his incomplete memories, looking for the truth, and gathering friends to overthrow the rule of brutal AI.
Unless there is a "director" behind it.
After a moment of confusion, everyone noticed that the shadow was gone, and the white tentacles that bound them also disappeared.
They didn't think about it too much, they just thought it was a natural thing.
Staring at the opposite side, they were about to start the battle again when something strange happened.
"Hula!"
"Ugh!"
Along with a strange hurricane, there was also a strange pain rising on the body surface of everyone, especially the players.
Strong winds kicked up dust and sand, obscuring everyone's vision, and at the same time caused the air near the base to become strangely distorted.
Waves of light blue light overflowed from the void.
Everyone fell to the ground in pain, their bodies twisted strangely.
The eyes and mouth were reversed, the arms were separated from the torso, and the entire head was split in two, like a game model that had gone awry.
They were terrified, but apart from the burning pain on their bodies, they did not feel any fatal injuries.
What's with the distortion in appearance?
Before they could figure out the reason, a grand, melodious cry like a symphony was heard, which made them change color.
"Angel...!" Ling Wei struggled to stand up with the help of her long staff, trying to use her ability to dispel the pain of everyone, but found that her ability was ineffective.
She looked at the huge group of creatures that completely enveloped everyone in shadow, and managed to squeeze out a sound.
"Eeh——!"
In the fierce wind, it seemed as if an endless group of angels were flying from afar, and the giant archangel in the lead let out an ethereal cry.
As the sound falls, there is also an invisible repulsive force.
In this repulsive force, the pain on their bodies became more intense.
The world within the senses also began to distort, and the strange blue light twisted into various shapes, swaying in the air.
"No, no! Their target is the base!" one of the players exclaimed.
However, no matter how anxious they were, the strange pain made them unable to move, and they could only watch helplessly as the group of angels gradually approached.
At the same time, a well-trained army of lizardmen jumped out from behind the upper class, followed by some monsters.
I don't know what the lizard man did, but the pain on the upper people was instantly relieved.
They stood up and looked coldly at the players who were still struggling.
The players understood instantly, and someone said in hatred: "You bastards actually cooperated with monsters!"
The ghost snake sneered, did not answer, and looked up at the group of angels flying towards him.
Each of these angels is as powerful as a super bomber and is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the vanguard of the siege.
The angels were about to approach the Hope Base under the angry and helpless gazes of the players.
However, the first movement occurred in the base.
"Hua La La—"
The ground began to shake, and small stones jumped up and down.
"Boom!"
The next moment, in front of the dull eyes of everyone watching except the angels and the monsters, a huge crack suddenly appeared across the entire base!
Even more shocking was yet to come -
What emerged from the cracks were countless soft, pure white, small umbrellas made of fluff.
In the blink of an eye, the fluff fluttered and turned into a heavy snow rising from the ground and poured into the angels!
The entire group of angels was thrown into chaos in an instant!
Melodious chirping sounds were heard everywhere, and the strong wind suddenly disappeared.
The shaking of the world and the players' pain began to subside.
It was as if they had encountered a natural enemy - or to be more precise, a plague. The angels swung their bodies, turned around, and immediately began to retreat!
"…"
"…"
The upper class people and lizardmen, who had been confident, stared blankly at the angels who were retreating on the spot, and were speechless for a moment.
"...ah?"
The players were also stunned by the twists and turns of the situation and sat there in a daze.
"No!" Suddenly, the person who seemed to be the commander in the Lizardman army jumped up and stuck out his tongue angrily.
"Why did the angel retreat without even getting close to the target? What a bunch of worm-raised rubbish!"
Although the voice sounded angry, it quickly took out a mini angel, an angel specially used to communicate with other groups.
"What's wrong with you?!" it asked.
"Flesh and blood, being sucked, targeted, without defense, stay away from the source of danger." Fragmentary words came out from the mini angel.
"Are these white things so powerful?" The lizard man looked suspiciously at the fluff still floating in the air not far away.
They are very intelligent, but their instinctive sense of danger has deteriorated a lot, so they cannot sense the danger from the fluff.
There was no indication of the warning devices carried by the army, or of the "witch doctors" who had a deep understanding of all things in nature.
"hiss!"
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
But then it realized the danger of these seemingly harmless little white creatures.
Several mutant monsters that came from the monster's nest were so violent that they rushed directly to the base.
Then they were submerged in white, and only had time to let out a strange scream before disappearing.
The pure, soft fluff was still floating in the base, seemingly harmless, but at this moment it could only make everyone shudder.
The ghost snake looked at the unknown white color covering the base and was unwilling to accept it.
His cold gaze turned to the players who were still a little confused about the situation.
The lizardmen apparently shared her thoughts, and the army drew their weapons.
The base will not be easy to attack for a while, so you can kill the players - they have a way to completely erase the players' bodies.
Just as the Lizardmen army was about to attack the players, the vision of all the beings present suddenly flickered!
It was as if the real world had cracked, revealing a fissure that emitted a red glow.
The pain that penetrated their brains rose from their bodies equally.
Gritting their teeth in pain, they vaguely saw red flowing from their peripheral vision to the center.
From the head to the tail, from the paws to the back, a white figure seemed to walk out of everyone's senses at the same time and into the real world.
"Shadow of Phantom..."
Seeing this figure, someone murmured subconsciously.
At the same time, the live broadcast room was restored. After a moment of silence, the barrage of comments filled the screen like crazy!
The players took some time to take a look and found that something... weird seemed to have happened on the middle floor?
The shadowy figure appeared openly in various places in the middle layer, moving around like a ghost, as if avoiding some pursuit.
Later, everyone had the same "hallucination", feeling that they were in a beautiful and fresh outdoor scene.
No matter what the barrage said, everyone at this moment, whether they were players, upper-class people, or even lizardmen, had only one emotion in their minds: fear.
The feeling of the phantom seemed to come out of one's own brain, like the most real dream.
The afterglow of pain still tormented their minds.
At this moment, the shadow that had closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the upper people and the lizard people.
The lizardman commander subconsciously took a step back: "What, what's going on..."
"Warning: Leave this area within one hundred seconds. After one hundred seconds, the elimination procedure will be implemented for the 'monsters' still in the designated area."
At this moment, an emotionless voice sounded from the sky, as if God had made a judgment on the lizard man.
When the lizard man heard this voice, he immediately realized something and was instantly scared out of his wits: "System! Quick, everyone evacuate!"
In the blink of an eye, the lizardmen and all the monsters scattered with their tails between their legs.
Because they didn't know how big the "designated area" was, they all tried their best to run farther away.
The wind they created as they fled blew the hems of the upper class people's clothes.
In a blink of an eye, they were the only ones left, staring blankly at the players.
The transformation happened so fast it was like a farce.
You Huan looked at the monsters fleeing in panic and said to those around him, "System? They call you System?"
"This is a misleading nickname caused by my one-sided understanding." Along with the cold words, there appeared a flickering human-shaped projection.
The projection, whose gender and age could not be identified, turned its head to look at him and said, "You can call me Mingyue."
"Now you and your companions have enough power to damage me. According to calculations, the best strategy is--"
"I agree to your request. We can cooperate."
