True Name (In Honor of Brother Zhao zq)

"Director Shen! Dr. Huang!"

Xie Biqi quickened her pace and greeted Silence and another scientist in a white coat.

She saw the two of them standing before a glass wall, gazing at a young man sleeping soundly on the other side.

Dr. Huang was a leading figure in the Special Investigation Bureau's technology department, an expert in many fields. His deductions regarding this game had also been remarkably accurate, making him the backbone of the bureau's technology department.

Even the brainwave formula used to determine whether someone had entered the game had been calculated by him and compiled into a program.

But Xie Biqi did not have much of a favorable impression of him. She was afraid he might be some kind of mad scientist who would use this volunteer for some gruesome human experiment.

"Captain Xie, you came too."

Silence nodded and sighed. "Doctor... your experiment succeeded."

"We can try waking him up now, but I'd rather it hadn't succeeded."

Dr. Huang was an elderly man with graying hair. Hearing this, he removed his reading glasses and wiped the lenses.

"What... happened?"

Xie Biqi asked.

"I was studying the connection between the game—or rather, that Game Isekai—and the players... Our earlier research into the game equipment's structure had already proven that it was nothing more than a smokescreen, or perhaps a placebo for the players' minds..."

Dr. Huang sighed. "So I designed several plans and had the test subject try them one by one. In the end, he successfully entered the game..."

"Which plan worked?"

Xie Biqi asked curiously.

"We had him recite a string of names. They came from the information compiled by the players, and referred to the only profession NPC—Er Ha!"

Dr. Huang answered.

"The Lord of Order, the God of Games?"

Xie Biqi murmured involuntarily.
