Control Bureau Littered with Corpses

In reality, Zai Zong frowned slightly.

The 15 D-Class Personnel Guidelines in front of him gave him a very weird feeling.

It's like something that was originally common and ordinary in life has become complicated and confusing through alternative descriptions.

Code, Zai Zong knows.

When he was a student, there was a code for primary and secondary school students.

and daily behavioral norms, etc.

These things that are detailed and require people to abide by are called rules in a general sense and rules in a strict sense.

Its characteristics are that it is authoritative and not prone to errors.

But growing up, he has seen some of the rules. Whether it's laws, school rules, game instructions and company rules and regulations. They are all told in detail and straightforwardly.

It's as if he's afraid that others won't understand.

But similarly, these rules and regulations that restrict others and require others to abide by them have always been boring.

Not to mention looking at it, many people don't even know how to take a look.

So, for these boring rules.

Ordinary people look at the front and forget the back. They forget everything in a few minutes.

But for some reason, this D-class code.

It's obviously the same way as above, but it always reveals a sense of unknown and danger.

Obviously it doesn't say what will happen if you break the rules, but its writing format, as well as the intentional or unintentional emphasis and strange handling, all make people feel horrified by the consequences.

It's like if the code is violated, something terrible will happen.

It makes people feel 'cold' and 'fearful', as well as 'weak to power'. '

As a result, Zai Zong was unable to tell whether these 15 rules were reasonable or correct.

All he knew was that he had to comply. Otherwise, like said above...

'You bear the consequences'!

When he thought of this, Zai Zong couldn't help but tremble all over.

Then read the analysis carefully again.

Soon, he discovered something strange about this code.

For example, the first item: Z-FBC-0682'Immortal Giant Lizard'/ Z-FBC-0049'Plague Doctor'

"Brothers, I have been playing this game for more than 3 hours since it was launched. If I remember correctly, the number prefix of Immortal Giant Lizard and Plague Doctor is not Z, right?"

"Z means Zayin (easy). I remember that 0682 seems to be the Aleph (dangerous) level, and then 0049 is the WAW (difficult) level."

"So their numbers should be A-FBC-0682 and W-FBC-0049. Not Z-FBC-0682 and Z-FBC-0049."

"Is the Control Bureau control system in this world different?"

"And the first one makes me very strange. It says that we have to go to the control room of these two monsters every day for routine inspections? What inspections? Although I have never seen 0682, but 0049 has an IQ!"

"I have some doubts. If this rule must be followed, wouldn't the first one be to die?"

"What kind of code has the first rule that you must die? I have never seen it before!"

Zai Zong continued to look at the code while complaining.

But soon, he discovered a new problem.

"If a security officer who does not have the authority to open the door opens the door of the D-class dormitory, ignore it and cannot believe what he says. Emmmm, why should we emphasize him/her/it in this article?"

"Does this mean that the person who opened the door might not be a human being?"

Thinking of this, Zai Zong couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.

A closed door, suddenly the door was opened, and standing outside was something that was not human...

Oh my god!

I shudder just thinking about it!

After all, it is really difficult to ignore something or someone.

In addition, what will he/she/it do when he/she/it opens the dormitory door and sees D-Class Personnel inside? Or what words will be said? So much so that the writers of the rules asked it not to touch and ignore it.

At this time, Zai Zong felt something new.

This strange rule didn't exist in the original world.

That means that this code is unique to this parallel world!

Zai Zong Take a deep breath and continue reading.

But when he saw Article 7 that it was impossible for anyone to believe in God, his doubts deepened again.

As we all know, Westerners do not necessarily believe in God. But God is the one most people choose to believe in.

Because this has nothing to do with gods, it is purely a belief and religious culture. At the same time, it is also a behavior that is difficult for ordinary people to evaluate.

But why doesn't anyone here at the Control Bureau believe in God?

They were also listed out on purpose, with the words 'no one' added in front.

It seems to emphasize the significance of this rule.

Zai Zong was a little confused.

And Restaurant No. 6. Why did you have such a big reaction when you heard about Restaurant No. 6? What happened to Restaurant No. 6? Or rather

Does Restaurant 6 exist?

Also, No. 9, why can't D-Class Personnel get more pizza?

You must know that the restaurant's food catering standard is only 150 grams, 150 grams! Almost the weight of 3 oranges.

For an adult, is this enough to eat?

Why are there such strict requirements?

What is Control Bureau doing in the parallel world?

There are also the behavior of security personnel who do not patrol or check sleeping areas, and the strange practice of staying away and reporting if the lights go out in a certain area.

This is all telling

There is some kind of strange existence inside the Control Bureau

There is also the exception number 0038... Why do you need to specify that it does not exist?

If it doesn't exist, forget it, then why do we emphasize that we can see it later?

So does it exist? Still doesn't exist?

This inconsistent rule makes it feel like there is no silver in this place.

The same goes for the D-level dormitories No. 10-11. The inconsistencies have made the existence of these two dormitories a mystery that no one knows about.

For a moment, Zai Zong couldn't think straight.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"Forget it, I don't understand. Let's continue playing the game."

He pressed the handle and put away the code. He stood up and looked around.

This is a very long passage, and D-9341 in front of him died leaning against the wall at the fork in the passage.

Now, there are no new leads. Next, it's random exploration again.

Zai Zong looked at both sides, decided on a direction, and walked forward.

At this time, Pitch Black was filled with deathly silence.

The narrow pipes were filled with dust and filled with air.

The ruins of the ruins looked pale under the light of Flashlight.

The heavy footsteps made crisp cracks on the gravel ground, bringing the only life to this quiet tomb.

Bang——

Another punch.

The mechanical door at the end of the passage fell down, making a heavy muffled sound, and dust filled the sky.

The protagonist of the game immediately waved his hand to raise the dust, causing the haze in front of his eyes to quickly fade away.

This action does not require player operation, it is a kind of feedback that comes with the game.

In addition to lines, it is also one of the details that can make game characters more vivid. It is also something that many manufacturers who pursue realism will do.

So this is nothing special for Zai Zong.

He directly pressed the handle and walked out of the smoke. When he saw the environment clearly, he was stunned.

At the same time, the same goes for the viewers and fans in the live broadcast room.

Even the protagonist of the game couldn't help but say: WTF

At this moment, in their eyes, it was an open, relaxing place.

Here, the tables and chairs are messy and irregular.

Beside the wall, several severely damaged vending machines stood quietly, covered with cobwebs.

And on the ground...

There was a thick layer of white bones wearing all kinds of clothes.

At the entrance, under the Flashlight light, he also found some skeletons still sitting on chairs, climbing on the table, or leaning on the back of the chair. It seemed that they died here before they had time to get up.

The space here is open, yet dense and chaotic.

Apparently, there was a massacre going on here...

"Fuck..."

At this time, in the eyes of Zai Zong, this scene was particularly shocking.

At a glance, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones.

He couldn't tell whether the deceased were men or women, and he couldn't even imagine how tragic the situation was at that time.

All I know is that these people must have been helpless and desperate during their lifetime.

So many people gathered here and died unable to resist.

Finally, in the erosion of time, it turned into skeletons.

Zai Zong took a step forward, and the sound of broken bones immediately came from under his feet.

He was suddenly startled and retreated hastily.

Looking closely, he accidentally stepped on the arm of a skeleton...

Obviously, the bones here cannot bear his current weight.

"Oh my god, Amitabha... Amitabha... I just accidentally... I'm sorry... don't blame... don't blame..."

Zai Zong apologized quickly, and only later did he find out. These bodies are relatively well preserved.

It seems that after death, it was left to rot without being cleaned up or managed.

Zai Zong From the style of clothing, it can be seen that most of the corpses here are researchers

Next is D-Class Personnel in orange clothes.

There were even a lot of corpses wearing security uniforms inside.

Obviously, this was a ruthless massacre that had no distinction between classes, as long as it was human beings.

Same as what the protagonist of the parallel world said.

If we say that Control Bureau massacred human beings before, we only learned about it from other people's mouths and videos.

Now, the facts are before our eyes.

And this... is only a tiny fraction of the world's population!

This scene, compared to the bloody corpses at the previous security station, had a more shocking sadness.

With the help of VR, people can't help but think about the tragic situation at that time.

Zai Zong looked at the pile of corpses here again, looked at the security personnel's clothing inside, and frowned.

"I remember that the security guards in the game are basically agents, right? Why are the security personnel also killed together?"

"Tsk, tsk, this parallel world is over. The protagonist has probably sent it, and the main mission has not been updated. Forget it, let's see if there is anything we can collect here."

Under this situation, Zai Zong no longer thinks that the second protagonist can survive.

Even though he has the ability to load files, the entire game map has now become a "battle-damaged version", which means that the massacre of the Control Bureau is no longer "in progress", but "completed"!

Then how can he survive?

Maybe the D-9341 I met before is him?

I just don't know how the main quest will proceed and what will happen next.

Everything is a mystery.

So while Zai Zong was searching with curiosity, he was alert to his surroundings.

But soon, he found that there was nothing here

It seems to be just a scene.

After searching to no avail, Zai Zong took one last look at the pile of corpses before heading to another path.

At this point, no matter where he went, he could find several corpses wearing different clothes.

It seemed that starting in the lounge, the situation spiraled out of control.

The corpses staggering along the way seemed to be poor people who escaped from the lounge but were still killed by bullets.

Judging from the scattered distribution of the dead, Zai Zong can imagine the people screaming in fear and desperately fleeing along this road.

But in the end, he still became a dead soul under the gun.

He fell to the ground unwillingly.

Zai Zong also saw two corpses leaning against each other, seemingly holding hands for the last time before death.

It's just that one is wearing a white coat and the other is wearing orange clothes.

The orange corpse was obviously female.

Because of her, she snuggled in his arms.

Zai Zong shook his head and moved on.

Not long after walking, he discovered that after turning several more turns and passages, he came to a very familiar place.

D-level dormitory area!

Common name: prison cell.

Here, he had some impressions.

At the very beginning of the game, when Huan Huan was experiencing it.

Then NPC agent Ulgrin called the protagonist out.

It was then that he saw the environment in the dormitory area.

And now, here, before his eyes, is a long and narrow Pitch Black aisle.

On the two rows, there are metal doors that are closed one after another.

Within the sight distance of his eyes, he could only see a distance of about 7 meters through Flashlight.

But he knew that the dormitory area was equivalent to a 'tic'-shaped area composed of four intersections.

And there is an extra horizontal line in the middle.

That is a total of 15 passages, and each passage has 30 rooms for D-Class Personnel to use.

Therefore, a dormitory area can accommodate 450 D-Class Personnel.

There are several dormitory areas like this.

Zai Zong It was a little funny when I recalled my surprise when I saw the flat map earlier.

No wonder after Control Failure, the security personnel shot D-Class Personnel without mercy,

It turns out there are too many people...

But now, it is completely silent here, and there are no bones or anything like that.

Unlike the previous resting place, where there were piles of bones.

"Will there be anyone in the dormitory?"

Zai Zong looked at the nearest dormitory door, curious.

He looked around the passage, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, he raised his hand and punched a closed dormitory door.

Suddenly, there was a tremor.

Mechanical Battle Armor's powerful power assistance caused the dormitory door in front of him to crash to the ground and stir up dust.

But there was no one inside.

The furnishings of the dormitory are just like the protagonist's own world, with only a bed, wall table, toilet, and washbasin.

Not unlike the prison cells in the movies.

Seeing this, Zai Zong had to give up this meaningless behavior after breaking down a few more doors using the same method.

Because the ones he opened were all empty!

There's no point in staying here.

Zai Zong No longer wastes time and continues to explore the site in the parallel world.

It didn't take long to find a security station.

At the same time, with his sharp eyes, he noticed a note posted next to the door.

"It's a new document! There may be some clues."

With the idea of collecting all the elements in one go, Zai Zong stepped forward to check.

"Holy shit!"

Zai Zong's eyes twitched, revealing the remains of an asshole on his face.

Because the content on this note can only be understood by the Riddler.

After reading it roughly, Zai Zong was sweating.

He looked at the note speechlessly, feeling like crying without tears in his heart.

"Is there a code for researchers next? Then there is a code for maintenance workers, then there is a code for electricians, the Cleaner code?"

Zai Zong does not intend to continue thinking about the contents of the code.

After putting it into the collection, he looked at the security station.

Inside, it is relatively well preserved.

It seems that no one opened this door during the massacre.

Zai Zong After seeing that there was nothing, he walked out of this long and winding dormitory area.

But when he just stepped out of the mechanical door, his expression suddenly changed.

Then he hurriedly turned back and looked above the mechanical door.

There is a dormitory number.

'D-09'

After seeing it, Zai Zong opened the note he just collected from the document collection.

Item 14 above clearly states that there are no Class D dormitories No. 10 and 11 on this site.

And he still remembered that Article 13 of [D-Class Personnel Guidelines] also said that there are only numbers 1-9 in the dormitory area.

But

If there were no D-level dormitories on Nos. 10 and 11

So what is in front of him?

At this time, in the game.

Zai Zong walked out of the D-level dormitory area and saw a big dormitory number at the end of the passage opposite.

'D-10'

Modified on October 22, 2022: Due to practical factors, the 'Unification X Religion' in the next chapter will be changed to 'Truth Cult'.
