Death Game 2.0!
Meng Qing entered a large club with a knife in hand. In the center of the club was a dance floor, brightly lit and filled with music.
A man in a tailcoat walked past Meng Qing with a tray in his hand and then said in a low voice.
"Lord Seth, you should change your clothes; you're too conspicuous."
There were many ordinary people in the club, Meng Qing's attire undoubtedly gave off an unusual feeling, not to mention that he was holding a demon Demon Blade wrapped in cloth.
Even the insiders at Hand of the Serpent couldn't stand it anymore.
"I don't."
Meng Qing spoke, he walked directly into a room deep inside.
He didn't want more people to see his true appearance.
Entering the inner room, I pulled the wardrobe aside, and behind the door was a long tunnel.
Meng Qing entered the tunnel, and the wardrobe behind him returned to its original position on its own.
At the deepest part of the tunnel is a room, which is Meng Qing's office and also his current residence.
Upon entering the room, Meng Qing removed his mask and black robe simultaneously, and placed the Demon Blade on the table beside him.
Just then, the phone rang.
Meng Qing picked up the phone, and a high-pitched male voice came from it.
"I heard the Demon Blade was successfully retrieved?"
"Um."
"As expected of you, Seth. You can take a break for a while now. There are no targets to reclaim in the near future."
"Good."
Meng Qing hung up the phone. The caller was none other than Cain, one of the three leaders of the Hand of the Serpent.
That Meme Copy was the one he provided to Meng Qing.
In simple terms, a Meme Copy is a meme Containment Object that can be reproduced and spread.
The concept of memes is almost the same as Mental Contamination, except that people from the Nine-Tailed Fox side refer to them all as memes.
Memes usually have two sides; if used well, they can be beneficial, but if used poorly, they can be harmful.
As for the origin of memes, we have to go back to 009.
009 sometimes splits into pieces of paper with trivial words written on them, and some of these pieces of paper have meme effects.
Memes that are transmitted through text and paper can be copied by taking photos to create copies with the same effect.
Of course, sometimes memes aren't limited to paper; they can also be sound.
The abilities of the Siren in 007 can also be described as a form of Meme Contamination, and they only require sound to spread.
But for now, let's put those things aside.
Meng Qing bent down and opened the safe next to the table.
Then he took the gold out of the safe and held it in his palm, saying, "Let's see if the Game Space is fixed."
A thought flashed through Meng Qing's mind, and the gold in his hand instantly melted and disappeared, while his body also vanished from the spot!
Welcome to Death Game 2.0
[Latest Announcement]
All information other than the index is now invalid. Please refer to the specific rules below.
Meng Qing opened his eyes and found himself on a huge platform.
He inherited Chu Yang's account, and all of Chu Yang's original indexes were inherited by him.
He also inherited Chu Yang's ID number.
Chu Yang's ID is Yang Yan.
Meng Qing also forgot why Chu Yang used this name. Maybe he felt indebted to Officer Yang Yan?
Never mind, it's not important.
Overall, this was Meng Qing's first time entering the Game Space!
As he curiously looked around, people began to appear in the space.
They all felt a stinging pain in their palms and thought the Game Space might have been repaired, so they came to check.
I can't believe it actually got fixed!
But...
It's strange, the level selection at the very center of the platform is gone.
There was nothing left on the entire platform.
Everyone looked up and found a countdown timer above their heads.
"Can't I make my own choices?"
"2.0, what's new in this update?"
With half an hour left in the countdown, none of the people who had come in left; they simply waited quietly for the half hour to pass.
The number of people has not decreased, but has continued to increase.
Half an hour later, the number of people in the space had surged to more than 700.
As the countdown ended, Meng Qing secretly swallowed.
"They're here."
Click!
It was the familiar darkness again; everyone was plunged into darkness in an instant, without any prompts or introductions.
Only a string of numbers kept increasing until it stopped growing after reaching 762 people.
Of these, seven people were selected.
The names of these seven people were turned red.
Meng Qing's name is among them.
A series of serial numbers appeared after his name.
[SRW-011: The Beast of a Thousand Throats]
The scene flashed, the darkness vanished, and light appeared.
Meng Qing suddenly felt that his perspective had become very strange, and there was an indescribable sense of unease.
Before me was a closed metal space, like a solitary confinement cell, with one wall being a one-way glass wall.
Meng Qing reached out his hands, only to find that they had turned into two red, metallic claws.
Your mission is to kill all of humanity.
Ah?
"Is this how you play the game?"
Meng Qing felt that this game was different from the one he remembered.
Before he could think any further, a voice suddenly rang out over the loudspeaker!
"Warning: Incident 04 has occurred. All researchers in the facility are requested to evacuate immediately!"
"Repeated, all researchers inside the facility must evacuate immediately!"
"Attention all security personnel, ensure the successful evacuation of the research team from the facility. Reinforcements are on their way."
As they were speaking, a red light suddenly flashed inside the base, and a piercing siren blared!
Incident 04?
Containment breach?
Meng Qing suddenly recalled what Qin Leng had told him: Incident 04 usually refers to two situations.
There are two types of containment failures: one is when Containment Object enters the base, and the other is when Containment Object escapes. Both of these are collectively referred to as containment failures.
However, at that moment, the broadcast was suddenly cut off.
Immediately afterwards, a loudspeaker in Meng Qing's room blared.
"Gentlemen, I think I understand the rules of the game now."
"Generally speaking, we play the role of monsters and humans. The monsters' goal is to kill humans, and the humans' goal is to either contain or kill the monsters again."
"And we were assigned to the monster camp."
"I am O2O computer. I have no physical body, but I can see the whole picture of the facility and control all electronic devices."
"I'll open the door for you right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to Meng Qing's room suddenly opened!
Upon seeing this, Meng Qing walked out of the gate and saw rows of identical and neatly arranged containment rooms in front of him.
An old man dressed in a black robe walked out of the room opposite Meng Qing.
The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and he had no hair on his head, which made him look somewhat creepy.
But what was even more terrifying was Meng Qing. When the old man saw Meng Qing, he was so frightened that he sat back down!
"Ah!"
Seeing the old man's terrified expression, Meng Qing touched his own face.
I see...
"I've turned into a dog."
