A sudden turn of events

At first, no one realized the seriousness of the problem.

Major cities in the public server were suddenly attacked by NPCs with red borders at a certain moment, and large-scale sieges occurred. Because it was only in the public server, other national servers just treated it as if the system had launched another plot.

Monsters siege a city. It's not new. It's just that the system can't announce it, and it doesn't mobilize players to defend the city or fight back. The major cities in the public server, except for being a little confused at the beginning, all defended and didn't cause much trouble.

If you ignore the fact that a large number of players participated in this siege, it would be as inconspicuous as a wave.

Trouble lies behind.

"What, what do you mean when you say there are many players who can't go offline?"

That night, Yu Qingdong was woken up from his sleep by someone who reported such inexplicable news.

"That's it, that's it... Mr. Yu, please come to the company quickly. We have detected a large number of player data anomalies."

"Wait, I'll be there soon."

I rushed to the company in a hurry, and the online data monitoring department seemed to have received an amnesty. The heads who were still on duty seemed to have found a backbone.

A bunch of data was brought over for him to see.

"Just tell me what's going on."

"It's just...it's just...the players who participated in today's monster siege all have abnormal data. We can't perform any operations on these data, and..."

"And what?"

"Moreover, we found that they were unable to go offline, and even...even after dying in the game, they could not be resurrected."

Yu Qingdong was stunned, "Could it be some kind of punishment from the system?"

"No, absolutely not. The system cannot read their data. We have just contacted the Central Intelligence Brain and have ruled out this possibility."

"Joke!" Yu Qingdong still couldn't believe it, "The system can't read it? There must be a mistake when you communicated."

"Why don't you come, Mr. Yu? If this continues, something big will happen."

"If anything big happens, just calm down!"

Yu Qingdong was strong and calm, in fact his fingers were trembling a little.

A1 authority for personal communication online - Walter Earl Summer.

"These players have taken refuge in our enemies and have been exerted some kind of influence by the enemies. Their souls no longer belong to the magic network. Therefore, the system can no longer perform any operations on them..."

The news fed back by Earl Walter Xia was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which shocked Yu Qingdong to death. He was stunned for a full 10 seconds before pushing the operator away and going in person.

"The Grand Duke is already aware of this matter and is looking for a solution. You should count these players first and find a way to take them offline... Don't stay online, it is very dangerous."

Yu Qingdong turned around and asked, "How many players are there in this group?"

The staff immediately handed over a list.

Looking at the densely packed names, IDs, home addresses, and ID numbers on the list... Yu Qingdong felt dizzy for a while, "How many, how many?"

"Two thousand six hundred and eighty-four."

"Two thousand...", he almost didn't come up in one breath.

After calming down for a moment, he asked again, "What about the international server? Only our players?"

"The international servers combined are just a lot more..."

"No, this is too big. I need to report to the higher authorities and activate the emergency mechanism."

An hour later, everything that needed to be known was known. 138 operating agents urgently checked their respective players and found that the number of ‘abnormal’ data together exceeded 5,000.

"...There are them in various urban areas. Because our players have been evacuated very effectively, there is currently no risk of the news leaking, but if it takes a long time..."

"You must hide it first to avoid causing unnecessary panic."

"We have asked local dispatch agencies to go to the residences of players with abnormal data and find ways to wake them up."

"Doesn't the game warehouse have a scheduled wake-up service?"

"We have used it, but this function is no longer effective for these players."

"What's the failure? Do you want me to die? How can such an important function fail!"

"Mr. Yu, the wake-up function is just a reminder like an alarm clock. If players don't want to go offline, we can't force them."

"Yes, yes, in the past, the system was supervising. Once a player's data showed a dangerous value, he would be forced offline. There has been no problem. Who would have thought..."

Yu Qingdong's eyes were bloodshot, and he was as excited and anxious as a trapped animal. As more and more intelligence came in, the situation did not develop in the direction of prayer, but became more and more serious.

"What do you do for food? The players colluded with the NPC with a red border. Why didn't you find out beforehand?"

"We...the system didn't find it either!"

"The system...can the system make you an excuse for neglecting your duties?"

"It should be that a loophole in the data interface between the public server and the national server was exploited. Players were caught in the process of jumping between regional servers. On the one hand, they escaped the system and the national server.

On the one hand, we have to obey the supervision of the police, and on the other hand... Mr. Yu, we are in big trouble this time, and something big might happen."

"No, it's not allowed. We will try our best to wake up these players."

"Then... let's start with the players who live alone. Let's try it first, but we must hurry up."

"The action team has arrived."

"The signal is coming in."

In the large conference room, all the executives rushed to deal with the sudden crisis. On the large LCD screen, the door of a high-rise apartment was forcibly opened. Those who rushed in quickly discovered the game warehouse.

The players lying inside seemed to be normal, but when the staff forcibly opened the game chamber, the people inside... the people inside... were visibly dry and rotten, and within a few seconds they turned into corpses as if they were buried.

Hundreds of years of mummies.

There were bursts of exclamations on the screen, and the conference room was silent.

"Get me this player's data immediately!"

"He... this man was killed during the siege and has never been resurrected!"

"Where's the system, where's the system!"

"The system cannot guide the player's soul to enter the 'resurrection program'... This is how the central intelligence brain explained it."

"That means, that means..."

"He is dead..."

"Then why did his body...corrupt so quickly?"

"Maybe it's because his soul was... We need more information!"

"Ah, damn!"

"What to do, what to do?"

"How should I explain this?"

"Are there many players like this? I mean, they were killed on the spot during the siege?"

"The preliminary count is four hundred and forty-five people."

"More than four hundred people, more than four hundred people"

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu?"

"Uh...I'm fine, you continue."

Yu Qingdong's mind is no longer here. He is thinking about what this sudden crisis portends.

Does this mean that the system, No. 0, is finally ‘unstoppable’?

Does this indicate that Zero’s enemies have finally begun to counterattack?

So what’s next?

Players are ‘forced’ to participate in an alien war?

It seems that this kind of war has always existed. If nothing else, so many national uniforms were taken from the natives of other worlds, right?

You can’t expect people to wait for a beating without knowing how to fight back, right?

The world thinks Canaan is just a game. Whether it is a game, or whether it is just a game, is not a secret at all among a few people.

It is like a layer of window paper, the emperor's new clothes. What you need to know has been known for a long time, and what you don't know will never be known.

Yu Qingdong carefully counted the benefits that Canaan can bring, and felt that he had thought too much. At this stage, no one, no country or region can give up on Canaan. Compared with the huge base, it is still possible for these thousands of people to have problems.

Accepting the option, the question is, is this just the beginning, or can it prevent something like this from happening again.

You must contact number zero.

——The superior also meant the same thing.

Players dying in the game have happened before, but most of the problems come from the players themselves. This time...

Soon, the second group of operators opened the door of the second abnormal player's home.
