Chapter 2224: Chapter 2224 — the only opponent he had ever seen in his life

Lu Jin’s voice had barely faded when the room suddenly fell silent.

The sound of the news broadcast on the television was even more ear-piercing.

Huo Shaoheng frowned. He raised his hand to pick up the remote control and turned off the television. He asked in a low voice, “Then uncle Lu means that this AI is up to something?”

Lu Jin did not speak for a moment.

Lu Yuan had been Lu Jin’s friend for more than a decade, so he knew Lu Jin very well.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jin laughed unhurriedly, he said,”… General Lu, regardless of whether it’s really an AI or not, why don’t you explain to us why it can make 50 million gamers in the world fall into a vegetative state?”

“The brainwaves didn’t disappear into thin air, did they?”

“The other game company’s computer can’t be turned off and rebooted, right?”

“Is this the truth?”

Lu Jin was a little embarrassed. He glared at Lu Yuan and said righteously, “Yes! These are the facts! But this doesn’t mean that it’s a real ai!”

“I didn’t say that it’s an AI. In fact, I don’t care what it is at all!”Lu Yuan became serious, he took the remote control from Huo Shaoheng and turned on the TV again. He pointed at the TV screen and said, “Look, is this the truth? Can you save these people whose consciousness is trapped in the game? !”

“You can’t! You Can’t even save your own daughter!”

“You still have the face to wonder if it’s a real artificial intelligence? !”

Song Jinning saw Lu Jin’s face turn purple and was worried that he wouldn’t be able to take it. She tugged at Lu Yuan’s sleeve and said angrily, “Why are you being so harsh? There’s nothing wrong with General Lu’s words. You’re being too picky.”

Although Lu Yuan did not agree with song Jinning’s words, he would not argue with song jinning in front of outsiders.

Therefore, he only smiled and said, “Okay, I won’t say anymore. I’m just worried about Nianzhi.”

He looked in the direction of Gu Nianzhi’s bedroom. “She’s been in a coma for two days.”

A lot had happened in the past two days.

The Huaxia Empire had gone from being the savior of millions of gamers to the initiator of this terrible incident.

The Huaxia Empire, which had just risen to prominence, had been the subject of suspicion and speculation from other countries. Now that they had found out that they were closely related to this massive “Online gaming death”incident, it was almost impossible for them to contain their malice.

Overnight, television stations, social media, and traditional media all over the world were talking about the role of the Huaxia Empire’s military in this matter.

This was because the people who had come out to make the announcement this time were people from the military.

To be precise, it was the director of the military’s general political department, Huo Guanchen, and his son, the great general of the special operations forces, Huo Shaoheng.

This caused the people in the country to become polarized.

Some people completely believed in their country and the military, and did not believe that this matter was related to them.

Some people, however, had never been afraid of speculating about their country and the military with the worst kind of malice.

These two forces began to compete at home and abroad, vying for the position of public opinion.

When the military and cabinet gradually lost the trust of the people, Speaker Long of the Senate stood out.

He stood in the oval-shaped meeting room of the parliament building with his white hair, facing the live broadcast camera and the live webcam, facing the people of the whole country, the people of the whole world said with deep sorrow, “I know that everyone is very painful and very excited about the recent events

“I completely understand that everyone wants to find the real murderer and bring him to justice

“But this kind of request shouldn’t be aimed at their own country and military with groundless accusations.”

“Don’t forget, the real serious consequence is Your Life, the gaming company!”

“Why do you think this matter is related to our country? Just because the other party took out a transfer agreement signed more than 20 years ago?”

“The party who signed the agreement is indeed a scientist of our country, but this scientist has once made great contributions to our country! Moreover, he had already sacrificed his country for the national interest 19 years ago!”

“Is he taking advantage of the fact that dead people can’t speak, so he unscrupulously poured dirty water on him? !”

Speaker Long had always had a cheerful and good-natured image, and once this image of a person became solemn and serious, that credibility was simply fatal.

Speaker Long was such a person.

He stood in the meeting room behind the big screen on the wall.

When he began to deliver his speech, there was no image on the big screen.

But when he spoke in the middle, the big screen began to show images.

At this time, what appeared was an unusually delicate and lively image of a woman.

She spoke generously in the court, joined together in the Senate, ran and jumped on the grass with a short-legged corgi, looked back with a smile on the street, and waved at the people.

Her vivid and beautiful image made everyone feel relaxed.

Everyone was too familiar with this person.

This was the famous first chair Gu Nianzhi!

Speaker Long’s favorite successor, the Senate’s chief legal advisor!

And everyone knew that in another month, she was going to have a grand wedding with the Huaxia Empire’s youngest and most promising major general, Huo Shaoheng.

What did speaker long mean by releasing a short video of her?

Everyone watched the wonderful video of Speaker Long and pondered over Speaker Long’s intentions.

Was he going to retire and announce his retirement so that speaker long could take over the position of Speaker of the Senate?

At this time, no one knew that Gu Nianzhi was also one of the 50 million players who were restricted by Your Life online games.

So when the camera turned and Gu Nianzhi’s image suddenly changed to lying on a hospital bed, with all kinds of equipment connected to her body and a ventilator plugged in, the viewers in front of the television were all dumbfounded.

Speaker long struck while the iron was hot, he said excitedly, “Other countries say that our country is the mastermind behind this dirty and vicious case, but look, our country’s highly anticipated chief gu is also a victim of this case!”

“The Major General You’re accusing is chief Gu’s fiancé! Why would he frame his beloved fiancé? !”

“The person who spread such rumors is either extremely stupid or extremely vicious!”

“Don’t be fooled by Your Life!”

Speaker Long’s rousing speech ended a long while later, and the social media exploded into a frenzy.

# chief Gu is trapped in Your Life! # .

# Your Life Is Shameless! He actually used my great country to divert his attention! # .

# chief Gu, I apologize to you! I shouldn’t have taken the opportunity to defame your fiancé! (actually, I’m jealous…) # .

# nowadays, cyber crimes can even be cleaned up with AI. Why doesn’t it say that it’s not even 14 years old, and no matter how many people it kills, it doesn’t have to bear criminal responsibility? # .

# crusade against Your Life! Not Enough Money! Open Source Software! # .

# return Your Life to my family! # .

..

Another Day passed, and Speaker Long’s speech finally turned the tide, thwarting the waves of international conspiracies and schemes that tried to pin the blame on the Huaxia Empire.

The news that Gu Nianzhi was also one of the victims of online gaming had also been officially announced.

Previously, her news had been kept under a tight seal.

However, when waves of international crusades against the Huaxia Empire came one after another, the higher-ups could no longer sit still. In the end, they decided that Speaker Long would step in and spread the news that Gu Nianzhi had been tricked, it would also be a good way to get rid of the dirty water that had been poured on the Huaxia Empire.

Huo Shaoheng was strongly opposed to it, but he could not fight against four hands with two fists. Even General Ji supported Speaker Long’s decision.

Moreover, this was indeed the most effective and fastest way to refute the malicious rumors.

It only pushed Gu Nianzhi to the edge of the storm.

Huo Shaoheng was in a terrible mood.

He had already quit smoking for a long time, so he picked it up again.

Standing alone on the balcony outside Gu Nianzhi’s bedroom, he looked at the tree house he had built for her and smoked.

Lu Yuan walked over and said worriedly, “Shaoheng, don’t worry too much. Lu Jin is looking for a way to help.”

“It’s been three days.”Huo Shaoheng exhaled a puff of white smoke, his expression cold. “Uncle Lu has met his match this time.”

Even though Lu Jin had made a “Bold statement”, the truth was that he still hadn’t been able to break through the port of Your Life.

Ever since the link was disconnected that day, no one could log in to this game even if the computer was on and the game helmet was still charged.

Of course, most people would not want to play this game anymore.

Who would be willing to never wake up once they got online?

It was not like they were seeking death.

Lu Yuan stood by his side and did not speak for a long time.

He also knew that Lu Jin had probably met his only opponent in his life.

Just as Lu Jin was racking his brains to break through the Your Life MMO port, an explosive piece of news once again swept the world.

This time, it was also from the official website of Your Life Company’s headquarters.

Ever since their game was taken over by AI, their official website updates were no longer under their control.

Just one day after Speaker Long’s speech, a small video appeared on the official website of Your Life Online Gaming Company.

On the video, it was still the image of the scientist song Haichuan when he was young.

He looked at the camera and said politely, “I am the GM of this game. You Can Call Me Little Song, you can call me AI, you can even call me NPC, or passerby. It’s just a name. To me, it doesn’t mean anything.”

“I came out to face everyone today to give everyone a chance to choose their second life

“Before you, there were 50 million players who stayed in Your Life. Don’t misunderstand. They stayed willingly. I didn’t force them to do anything

“Now, I will open the game. Everyone is welcome to log in to their accounts or create new ones

“I promise that everyone can come and go freely. There will be no restrictions. You can even start treasure hunting activities

“The treasure is the 50 million players who stayed here previously

“As long as you find your loved ones and they don’t object, you can take them away. At the same time, you can receive a reward of no less than one million

“The reward will only be given to the top 1,000 players who log into the game and find their loved ones and successfully take them away.”

“The quota is limited. Please log in as soon as possible. The billions of grand prizes are waiting for everyone to split! Mwah!”
