‘Egg?’

‘Great, you are finally here!’

‘Come here quickly, it’s time for us to go in. This time we will definitely be able to crack the clues left by Halliday. We have just thought about what it was saying, and we will definitely not be wrong!’

‘Come here!’

‘Don’t ask for it now, Ashu and Minlang are almost unable to wait!’

‘!!’

‘Hey! Hurry up! Edge, we are here!’

When he saw a scapula warrior appearing in the distance and looking around here, Pasifal and Artemis, who had been waiting for a long time in front of the library, excitedly waved their hands to remind each other.

‘You guys are so early?’

‘But wait first!’

‘Because there is one more person we haven’t come yet, so let’s wait for her for a while!’

After seeing that his companions and friends were already present, Edge let out a sigh of relief, but when he looked around and found that there was still a missing figure of a little guy, he hurriedly called on the few people who were about to enter, hoping that they would wait for a while.

He just looked around here just to find the figure of a little guy, because he had already sent a message to the other party.

‘???’

‘Waiting for someone? Who is it?’

‘It seems that our friends are all here…’

‘Yes, Edge, who are we waiting for?’

‘It’s Anne!!’

‘!!’

‘Ha! I knew you were looking for her! But I think we should go to the library hall to wait for her first? After all, you all know that we are all famous celebrities in the top scorers now. It would be not good to stay here and gather together like this.’

‘Especially those damn guys from IOI!’

Artemis looked at the crowds coming and going in the distance, and then looked at the people who seemed extremely abrupt in front of the library. She felt that it was not a good idea to wait here, so she waved directly to let everyone walk into the library gate, intending to go to the hall inside to crack clues while waiting for a friend who might not necessarily come.

‘Talk about that little guy…’

'I heard that she has been in the limelight recently! I heard that she first severely damaged the Fan League Guild in the dungeon of Avatar and the Invincible World of Heroes. She killed many senior executives of that guild by one person, and then she played with the IOI company in the dungeon of the Red Alert, causing them to pay the price of severe injuries and deaths of tens of thousands of people!'

As he spoke, the face of the character Artemis's game turned a little flushed.

Although most of the casualties of IOI companies are low-level game accounts, the tens of thousands of casualties are enough to lose face and make their staff members feel anxious for a while.

‘!!’

‘Ten thousand! That wouldn’t be a lie, right? I don’t believe that she is just alone, how could she kill tens of thousands so many?’

Pasifal knew that magic or other special items and skills are not allowed in the Red Alert. He only gave him a gun when he entered the game, and all players were only soldiers... Anyway, he was scared by the tragic battlefield last time and quickly found a chance to retreat, so he was not shot or bombed by other NPCs or other players!

There, in the battlefield of a world war where tanks, cannons and giant ships roaring, and where super weapons such as missiles, nuclear bombs, and lightning storms are thrown away, the role and presence of personal abilities are really too low... He even thinks that kind of world may be a little more dangerous than the death planet in Area 12?

Therefore, he didn't believe that a little girl could really kill tens of thousands of soldiers with the sixth IOI in that modern battlefield environment. After all, that was just a rumor, and there must be some differences from the actual situation.

‘!!’

‘Look, who is that?’

'ah!!'

‘It’s that little guy…but when did she come in first!?’

‘Don’t guess, it’s good that she’s here, so let’s wait any longer, hurry up! We can go and find the director now!’

'Um!'

As soon as he entered the library gate, Artemis saw a familiar little guy sitting on the sofa and napping, then rushed over excitedly and began to say hello to the other party.

Just now, Pasifal suspected that the other party was not very acknowledging what the other party said. After all, for her, the "Sixth Man Hunter" who specializes in dealing with the IOI company, she knew very well whether IOI had so many casualties! So, after knowing that the little girl actually caused the IOI to suffer tens of thousands of casualties at once, she was excited for a long time and couldn't wait to ask the other party how he did it.

If possible, she even wanted to find an opportunity to explain their ideals and careers to the other party, and then let the other party join them too?

‘Anne!’

‘Hi~! Anne!!’

'Hello!'

‘Strange, Anne…When did you come here, why are you faster than me?’

After Ashu and Dadong greeted each other, Edge also walked to the sofa and waved his hand to a napping little guy, greeted him and asked curiously.

"I've been here a long time ago, I'm using magic!"

(=^▽^=)

Yes, Anne has been to this library for a long time because she is a wizard, but she can open a portal, especially the public teleportation point in the safe area. She can freely open the door at any place that is allowed to teleport, and it is the kind that is free to open the door without charge!

However, when she came here, she found that some unscrupulous scapula warrior Edge was not there, and the others waiting outside were not very familiar with her, and she even hated the Pasifal who was full of hostility towards her. So, she did not take the initiative to say hello just now, but just lay alone on the sofa inside thinking about her own affairs and taking a nap.

‘…’

‘Okay, everyone! It’s getting late, let’s go in and crack the clues quickly?’

After seeing a little girl player who didn't know whether it was a man or a woman or an old or a young player, Artemis instantly neglected himself, and Pasifal was a little unhappy.

So, he suddenly made a sound and interrupted the narrative that several people might continue, and directly urged everyone to go in and find the library administrator and the director, and then tried every means to crack Halliday's second clue, get the second jade key, and then find the third one, which is the last clue!

You know, a while ago, he accidentally revealed the information in the real world, causing his family and neighbors to be killed by the IOI people. If it weren't for Artemis and the others, he might not know what he would be like now! Therefore, he just wants to find the second and third keys as soon as possible, find the easter egg, and then obtain control of the shares and games left by Halliday. At that time, he must have that IOI company look good!

Of course, only he himself knows whether he has served as CEO of Oasis Games, married a rich beauty (Artemis) and reached the peak of his life.

‘Okay!’

‘That’s right! We should be moving faster, I can’t wait!’

‘Then let’s go…’

‘??’

‘Get up quickly, Annie, we are going to find the curator to crack the clues now!!’

Seeing that his friends were already impatient, and now looking for clues and keys was indeed the top priority, Edge hurriedly waved to a little guy who was still on the sofa and didn't want to get up.

"But……"

Σ(°△°)︴

"Hey! Big Edge, are you really sure to crack the clues of that Halliday?!"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

To be honest, if Annie had just come out of the dungeon and had nothing to do for the time being, maybe she would have gone to another dungeon to play or wander around, how could she be invited to come here to find any messy Easter eggs?

Anyway, she thought that she could wait for them to crack it, and then wait until the secret was revealed and then come and pass the level by herself!

"I don't know either."

"But, Pasifal said he was very confident because he seemed to have found a key point with Artemis, so I saw that you were no longer in the dungeon, so I called you to come together."

The scapula warrior Edge shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, saying that he was not clear about it, because Pasifal and the others did not explain the situation to him, but just strongly demanded that he must follow him to witness the birth of the second key this time.

"It's just like that..."

(??_??)

Although I always feel that it is unreliable, but...

Anyway, she had been here, and she had been waiting for so long, so Annie couldn't just turn around and leave, so after hesitating for a while, she had to follow the few people in disappointment and walk towards the depths of the core library located in the central area of ​​the oasis.

‘Pasifal, how did you crack that clue? Can you tell us about it?’

'yes!'

‘I want to know how you cracked it…’

Dadong and Ashu, who were walking in front, came to Pasifal and began to ask about the friend who seemed very powerful to them, even the loopholes and bugs left by Halliday could be found, and were also jealous and suppressed by the IOI company, and even had to use them to create an explosion and wanted to get rid of it.

‘Say that!’

'It's actually very simple! Because this second clue was cracked by Artemis, and it was the key to the problem that I thought of, and then I thought of more.'

‘Next…’

‘We only need to look at the record between November 23 and 27, 2025 related to Halliday. I believe that the secret must be in the period!’

‘It should be about his unsuccessful date…’

‘And then…’

Pasifal, who was walking in front, said excitedly, and described his discovery and guesses in an excited tone, and from time to time he supplemented something with the Artemis beside him.

"Ah~!"

??(???????????)??

“…”

('-?????)

So boring...
