Chapter 2242: Chapter 2242 the Cruel Queen of Hearts
Gu Nianzhi looked at this scene, which was even more tragic than the last time, and her expression did not change at all.
She looked at it for a while, then turned around to open the car door and get ready to go in.
At that moment, from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure slowly walking out of the black and red smoke.
The surrounding fire, which could turn steel into crystals, had no effect on “Him”at all.
Gu Nianzhi’s hand stopped on the car door.
She narrowed her eyes and watched as the man walked up to her.
That was the image of “Song Haichuan,”but Gu Nianzhi knew that this wasn’t song Haichuan, it was AI.
She looked it up and down and snickered.”… What’s wrong? You didn’t have fun just now, you want to do it again?”

“Song Haichuan”glared at her and clenched his fists. He growled, “How can you laugh? !”
He turned around and pointed at the flickering flames. His voice was trembling. “Two cars! Two cars! They’re all gone! Don’t you feel any guilt? What did they do wrong? !”
“Shut up!”Gu Nianzhi’s face was as dark as water. She interrupted “Song Haichuan”without hesitation, she said coldly, “If I wasn’t better, the person who was burned to ashes or even crystallized over there would have been me. What did I do wrong?”
“… But you weren’t injured… They didn’t succeed…”song Haichuan’s voice weakened.
Gu Nianzhi raised her head. Her slender neck was tenacious, she said lightly, “Many people will subconsciously sympathize with the weaker side, but in my opinion, the ‘weaker side’that can be sympathized with can only be the innocent side, not the attempted murderer.”
“You can’t sympathize with the people who want to harm you just because they got what they deserved, right?”Gu nianzhi glanced at “Song Haichuan.””If old song is such a good person…”
She looked around and sneered, “I can’t imagine that you would create a virtual game that trapped countless players.”
“Song Haichuan”was stunned for a moment and immediately said, “That’s two different things.”
“To US players, it’s the same thing.”Gu Nianzhi opened the car door and sat inside. She then opened the window and stuck her head out to continue, “Because we only have one life.”
With that, she drove off in her sports car.
“Song Haichuan”, who was behind her, stared fixedly at the departing figure of the big red sports car. He wiped his face and slowly disappeared from the screen.
..
Lu Jin, who was in front of the television, realized that the screen had turned black. He could not see anything at all.
“What happened? Did We lose contact?”Lu Jin muttered, he sat back in front of his quantum computer and began to search for the small program that he had “Infected”with the AI. In the end, he found that his small program was now in a dormant state, he could not help but wonder to himself,”… could this be the way the AI rests?”
However, Lu Jin did not doubt it for long. About thirty minutes later, the big screen of the wall-mounted TV on his wall lit up again.
This time, he saw the game center system that issued quests in the game.
It was a tall building. On the wall in front of the building was a large LCD screen.
One by one, quests were being broadcasted, waiting for players to receive them.
This quest mode was originally the support mode of this Second Life game. Usually, not many people would play it.
But today, a quest that caused a sensation among the players around the world was released.
“Second Life first Boss hunting operation!”
“Hunting target: Queen of Hearts.”
Then, there was a game coordinate that showed that the big boss, Queen of Hearts, was at this location.
“Reward: 1. Receive the game quest. Reward 10,000 game coins. The system will help you exchange them for equivalent dollars in the real world.”
“2. Successfully capture Queen of Hearts alive. Reward 1,000,000 game coins. The system will help you exchange them for equivalent dollars in the real world.”
“3. Successfully kill Queen of Hearts. Bring the corpse to the game center building. Reward 1,000,000 game coins. The system will help you exchange them for equivalent dollars in the real world.”
The moment this mission was broadcast, the entire world’s social media exploded.
Second Life had gone through the shadow of death before, and when the game was released, it allowed everyone to find their families. It was gradually getting back on track.
Although half of the people had yet to wake up, at least there was hope. Moreover, there was the incentive of the prize money. Therefore, the number of people entering the game was not decreasing but increasing.
The system, which had never interfered with the game before, had now released its first mission!
The entire world’s social media was talking about who the “Queen of Hearts”was.
The system gave a few clues.
1. The Queen of Hearts was a woman.
2. The Queen of Hearts was a woman on a special battlefront. She was good at disguising herself as a firearm and was cunning and quick-witted.
3. Queen of Hearts had a lot of blood on her hands. She had multiple lives on her hands. Everyone had to kill her!
4. The system could not give her exact appearance because she was ever-changing. The system could only give the specific game coordinates when she appeared.
The last clue was the scariest.
5. Queen of Hearts was a special spy who sneaked into the online game Second Life from the real world. She was ordered to enter the game to kill people. Anyone who was killed by her in the game would also die in the real world. Therefore, players who received the mission were requested to go to the game system building to sign a “Life and death contract”.
All players who received the mission were responsible for their own safety. The system would not interfere.
This last rule dissuaded many people.
The vast majority of people played the game for fun or to escape from reality.
Who would play such a stupid game that would “Die”in the game and also die in the real world?
However, looking at the conditions of the quest, one could get 10,000 US dollars just by receiving it.
However, as long as one accepted the quest, it would be “Life and death are determined by fate and wealth are determined by heaven”.
After thinking carefully, most of the players rationally did not accept the quest.
However, there were also a lot of people who accepted the quest.
Because the number of players was huge, even if only one in a thousand people accepted the quest, there were at least 50,000 people.
These 50,000 people became the bounty hunters in the game.
And among these 50,000 people, professional killers and mercenaries from the real world accounted for the vast majority.
After all, this was what they did for a living. Whether they hunted in the real world or in the game, it was the same for them. There was no psychological burden. Moreover, they had experience and methods, ordinary people couldn’t guard against it.
If “Queen of Hearts”was really a fellow traveler, then only they could hunt her.
And if they killed her in the game, there would be a huge reward, which was more money than any of the contracts they received.
Therefore, a steady stream of killers in the real world entered Second Life, received quests, and signed “Life and death certificates”.
In the real world outside, legal experts from all over the world were pa.s.sionately discussing whether the “Life and death certificates”signed in the game had any legal effect.
There was also the question of whether an online game had the right to decide a player’s life and death, even if the player was a “Heinous”villain.
Of course, ordinary online games did not have the right, but this online game was different. It was the first AI in the world that was gradually being recognized by everyone.
If it wanted to enforce the law, who could restrict it?
Legal issues in real life were being hotly debated. Gu Nianzhi had no contact with the outside world, so she did not know about the uproar outside the game.
When she first saw the mission, she had also thought about taking it.
But when she saw the conditions of the game later, she also laughed and gave up.
It was just a sand sculpture game. who would be so stupid as to risk their lives?
However, she quickly stopped laughing.
One day, she came out of the Hepingli precinct, where she had temporarily lived in the game. Just as she was about to go shopping, she suddenly saw from the corner of her eye that there was a flash of light on the rooftop opposite her.
It was the reflection of the Sniper Gun’s scope!
Gu Nianzhi fell to the ground without thinking and quickly rolled to the corner of the street shop.
The bullets from the opposite building followed her like a shadow. As she rolled, they followed her all the way to the corner where the other side couldn’t shoot before stopping.
“SH * t!”Gu Nianzhi cursed under her breath. She hid her body completely in the corner and looked up to see what was going on.
A person popped out from the opposite building. He seemed to be wondering why his “Prey”had suddenly disappeared from the scope.
Gu Nianzhi was furious when she saw this man.
“A man walking on the street can bring disaster upon himself!”
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself. With A thought, a sniper rifle with excellent performance appeared in her hand.
She raised her hand and aimed at the man who had popped out from the rooftop opposite her. She silently pulled the trigger.
There was a crisp bang, and the huge recoil from the pistol nearly flipped Gu Nianzhi to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a wall behind her, or else she would have fallen headfirst
Gu nianzhi rubbed her right shoulder and watched as the sniper on the opposite roof fell from the roof with a thud.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly saw a line of large, translucent words appear in the sky above her.
“The Queen of Hearts has counterattacked for the first time. Player x.x.xx.x.xx.x.xx.x.xx.x.x has lost his life. The life and death situation is in effect. 10,000 game coins are exchanged for US dollars in the deceased’s real bank account.”
“Everyone, keep encouraging us. I wish everyone success in capturing the ruthless Queen of Hearts.”
Gu Nianzhi:”! ! !”
Was this a big joke? !
Was she the Queen of Hearts that the system wanted everyone to kill? !
