‘Edge? ’

‘Great, you are finally here! ’

‘Come here quickly, we should go in, this time we will definitely be able to decipher the clues left by Halliday, we have just thought of what it means, it must not be wrong! ’

‘Come here! ’

‘Don’t ask, Ashiu and Min Lang can’t wait! ’

‘! ! ’

'Hey! Faster! Edgie, we are here! ’

When I saw a scapula warrior appearing in the crowd in the distance, and looking around here, Parsifal and Artemis, who had been waiting for a long time in front of the library, excitedly energized each other. Waving to remind.

"You guys are so early? ’

‘But wait a moment! ’

‘Because one of us hasn’t come yet, let’s wait for her for a while! ’

After seeing his companions and friends were already there, Edgie sighed, but when he looked around and found that a little guy was missing, he hurriedly called out the few people who were going to go in. I want them to wait a while.

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

‘? ? ? ’

‘Waiting for someone? who is it? ’

‘Our friends seem to be here...’

‘Yes, Edgie, who are we waiting for? ’

‘It’s Annie! ! ’

‘! ! ’

'what! I knew it would be her you were looking for! But I think everyone should wait for her in the library hall first? After all, as you all know, we are all big celebrities at the top of the standings now. It's not good to be seen by someone who wants to stay together like this. ’

‘Especially the hateful guys at IOI! ’

Artemis looked at the crowds going back and forth in the distance, and then at the strangely abrupt people in front of the library. She felt that it was not a good idea to wait here, so she directly waved to let everyone go to the library. I walked through the gate, planning to go to the hall inside while deciphering clues, while waiting for a friend who might not be coming.

"Speaking of that little guy..."

‘I’ve heard, she’s been a big show recently! I heard that she first smashed the Fan League guild in the dungeons of Avatar and Heroes of Invincibility. One person just killed a lot of the guild’s high-level officials. Then she played a trick on the IOI company in the Red Alert dungeon and made them It has paid the price of tens of thousands of severe injuries and deaths! ’

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

Although most of the casualties of IOI are low-level gaming accounts, the tens of thousands of casualties are enough for the IOI online creative company to lose face and make their staff members burned for a while.

‘! ! ’

‘Tens of thousands! Isn't that a lie? I wouldn't believe that she was just a person, how could she kill so many tens of thousands? ’

Parsifal knows that magic or other special items and skills are not allowed in the Red Alert. Only a gun is given to the opening, and all players can only be soldiers...Anyway, the last time he entered, he was caught That kind of tragic battlefield was so scared that I quickly found a chance to retreat, and was not shot or blown to death by other NPCs or other players!

There, in the battlefield of the world war with the roar of tanks, artillery and huge ships, and where super weapons such as missiles, nuclear bombs, and lightning storms are littered at every turn, the role and sense of personal ability are really too low and too low. ... He even felt that that kind of world might be a little more dangerous than the Death Planet in Zone 12?

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

‘! ! ’

‘Look, who is that? ’

'what! ! ’

‘It’s that little guy... But when did she come in first! ? ’

‘Don’t guess, she’ll be here, so we don’t have to wait any longer, fast! We can go to the curator now! ’

'Ok! ’

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

Just now Parsifal suspected that the other party said that she did not agree too much. After all, for her, the ‘Sixth Man Hunter’ who specifically did not deal with IOI, it was clear to her whether IOI had so many casualties! Therefore, after knowing that the little girl caused IOI to suffer tens of thousands of serious casualties in one go, she was excited for a long time and couldn't wait to ask how the other party 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?

‘Annie! ’

‘Hi~! Annie! ! ’

'Hello there! ’

‘Strange, Annie... When did you come here, how come faster than me? ’

After Ash and Dadong had greeted each other, Edgie also walked to the sofa and waved his hands to a little guy who was dozing off, and asked curiously.

"People have been here long ago, they use magic tricks!"

(=^▽^=)

Yes, Annie has been to this library a long time ago, because she is Faye, she can open portals, especially this kind of public teleportation point in the safe area, she can be free to be allowed in any one here The door is opened at the place of transmission, and there is no charge!

However, when she came here, she found that a certain unscrupulous shoulder blade warrior Edgie was not there, and the other people waiting outside didn’t know her too well, and she even hated Parsifal who was full of hostility towards herself. ? So, she didn't take the initiative to say hello just now, but just lay 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 clue, right? ’

After seeing a certain little girl player who didn't know whether it was a male or a female, or a young girl, Artemis turned out to be cold, and Parsifal was a little unhappy.

So instead, he suddenly interrupted the narration that several people were likely to continue, and directly urged everyone to go in and find the administrator of the library, the curator, and then try to crack Halliday’s The second clue, get the second emerald key, and then find the third, which is the last clue!

You know, a while ago, he accidentally revealed his information in the real world, causing his family and neighbors to be blown to death by the IOI people, but if it weren't for Artemis and others to save him, He might not know what he would be like now! Therefore, he just wants to find the second and third keys early, find the easter egg, and then obtain the shares left by Halliday and control of the game. At that time, he must want the IOI company to look good!

Of course, whether one of them became the CEO of Oasis Games, married Bai Fumi (Artemis) and reached the pinnacle of life, I am afraid that only he himself would know.

‘Good too! ’

‘Yes! We really should move faster, I can't wait! ’

"Then go..."

‘? ? ’

‘Hurry up, Annie, let’s go to the curator to solve the clue now! ! ’

Seeing that his friends were already impatient, and now looking for clues and keys is indeed the top priority, the shoulder blade warrior Edgie hurriedly waved to a little guy who was still unwilling to get up on the sofa. Tao.

"but……"

Σ(°△°|||)︴

"Hey! Big Edgie, are you really sure to decipher the clue to Halliday?!"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

To be honest, if Annie just came 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, where would she be invited to come here to find any messy easter eggs?

Anyway, she thought, she could wait for them to crack it, and then it wouldn't be too late for her to break through the level after the secret was revealed!

"I do not know either."

"However, Parsifal said he was very confident, because he seemed to have really found a key point with Artemis, so I think you are no longer in the copy, so I called you to come."

The scapula warrior Edge shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, saying that he didn't know it, because Parsifal and the others didn't explain the situation to him, but strongly urge him to follow along to witness the birth of the second key this time.

"It's just like this..."

(??_??)

Although I always feel a little unreliable, but...

Anyway, it’s been here, and after waiting so long, Annie turned her head and left. So, after hesitating for a while, she had to follow behind a few people angrily and move towards this place. Walking deep into the core library in the center of the oasis.

‘Parsifal, how did you crack that clue, can you tell us about it? ’

'Yes indeed! ’

‘I also want to know how you cracked it...’

Dadong and Ashiu, who were walking in front, approached Parsifal's side, and started to ask a little curiously about the person who seemed to them to be very powerful, even the loopholes and bugs left by Halliday could be found, and they were also The IOI company was jealous and suppressed, and even had to brazenly use friends who wanted to get rid of the explosion.

‘Let’s put it this way! ’

'it's actually really easy! Because this second clue was solved by Artemis, she thought of the key to the problem, 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! ’

‘The unsuccessful date about him...’

'And then……'

Parsifal, who was walking in front, said with some excitement, and described his findings and guesses in an excited tone, and from time to time he supplemented each other with Artemis on the side.

"Ahhh~!"

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

"..."

(\'-ω????)

boring……

After stretching for a while, Annie rubbed her eyes sleepily, without paying attention to the words of the guy leading the way.

Because now she feels a little tired...

In fact, every time she encounters something that she doesn’t care about or is not too interested in, she is always prone to sleepiness and tiredness, and then her positivity begins to fall to the bottom without a limit, and then she becomes passive or slack. Want to retreat or something.

And it just so happened that she had no interest in cracking the Easter egg and guessing the clue that she had forgotten about the Halliday. And if it hadn't been for the scapula warrior of Eqi, she would not have come here if she happened to be doing nothing in the oasis today!

‘Annie? ’

‘Come here soon! We are about to start! ! ’

At this moment, in front, Anne fell behind and yawned, thinking about what to do later today, that Parsifal and Artemis had already had a conversation with the half-man, half-machine library curator. Got up, and seems to have really found a clue?

So, without waiting for Annie to continue to dangle behind, that Edge waved loudly at her again and urged.

"I'm coming!"

??°(°??????????°)°??

"Really, isn't it just an easter egg and the stock of a game company? Those things can't be eaten. What's so great?"

(????????`??)??

Seeing that the other party urged herself again, and it seemed that she had really found some clues, and was ready to form a team to enter the dungeon, there was no other way, so Annie had no choice but to flash a magic flash directly to the opponent's side, indicating that she was ready All right.

To be honest, Annie really doesn't care at all about Oasis Game's manipulation rights and Halliday's stock, and is even more disinterested! She just wanted to join in the fun, and then see if there was a chance to teach an old guy a good meal, as for other things, she didn't care about it at all.

‘! ! ’

‘It’s the Shining! ’

‘Yes! It should be this movie! ’

‘It ranks 11th among Halliday’s favorite movies. It is an adaptation of one, but the author hates this movie very much...’

‘Look, didn’t it happen to match that clue and it happened to be related to Halliday? ’

'look! ’

‘Artemis! And everyone, I think I have found it, the clue must be in this movie, it must be correct! ! ’

Excited, after looking around at his ignorant companions and a little girl with a disdainful and impatient face, Parsifal put the box of virtual reality floating around him. The film caught in the file was thrown into the hands of the librarian.

"This is a horror movie..."

‘I have to confirm: guys, are you sure, do you really want to go here? ’

Looking at the thing in his hand, the half-human and half-mechanical curator hesitated for a moment, and in a certain responsible or procedural manner, he asked carefully again.

‘OK and sure! ’

‘We are going to visit here, curator! please! ’

If they don't go, what are they doing here? Therefore, before his companions answered, a player Parsifal responded impatiently.

‘...’

'well! But I still want to remind you: This is a terrible horror movie, very terrible... It is also very unfriendly to people with poor mental qualities, I hope you can bear it? ’

After speaking, the administrator of the library, the curator waved his hand, and the seven people, including Annie, found that the floor under their feet had become a floating round platform, and then slowly descended, and soon it was Stopped in front of a movie theater, and on the signboard of that movie theater, the logo and letters of "The Shining" were written impressively.

At the same time, bursts of weird music and some kind of permeating atmosphere were heard in the cinema, which made a certain scapula warrior who was tall and terrifying on the surface could not help but step back timidly.

'All right! ’

‘Dear players, now you can go in, good luck to you? ’

Standing on the spot with his hands on his back, the curator who didn't want to move at all, and didn't want to go in, lifted his chin, with a smiley expression indicating that the six players who claimed to have found clues could go in and try, and his book The curator of the museum will definitely not go in to accompany them to death!

Because he knows what's inside and the danger inside...

After all, watching a movie in the Oasis game is more than just'watching' the movie. It requires the players to experience and interpret the movie in the first person or as the'protagonist', that is, the players must personally enter it. In that horror movie, and try to find what they are looking for or live until the end of the movie, and once they die, the character will really be cleared!

Of course, it is also possible to be scared to death directly, including the body outside the game?

It’s not that there has been a precedent of being scared to death or scared to death, so he just asked that question to ensure that certain players who are not suitable to stay in the oasis to'watch' horror movies can be blocked by him. outside. Because those timid guys are only suitable for watching love, action, sci-fi and drama movies, or life dramas that are very abundant in a certain island country that specifically discuss and involve human reproduction.

‘..….’

‘...’

It's a pity that the curator's warning didn't have much effect. Parsifal, who was eager to find the key and didn't like horror movies, directly greeted her friends to break in.

'Look! ’

‘This thing, it seems to be a timer? ’

‘Well, it should be...’

‘Doesn’t that mean that we probably...no, we have to find the key within five minutes, before this terrible movie is officially shown? ’

'should be! ’

'five minutes? But there are so many keys in the Shining, which one are we looking for? ’

'do not know……'

‘What if we don’t find it in time? ’

'will die! ’

'dead? ’

‘Yes! At that time, the ghosts and evil spirits in this house that began to appear will definitely not let us off easily! ’

‘! ! ’

‘Axiu! I've never seen the Shining. Is it really scary? ’

‘I don’t know...maybe not so scary? However, I had read it through the gaps between my fingers. As long as I saw something I was afraid of, I would cover my eyes, and the terrible scene soon passed. ’

‘...’

After rushing to the theater, or in the house of this "The Shining" movie, Parsifal and Artemis, as well as Edgie, Dadong, Ashiu and others, gathered in a thick place like a timer. Next to his typewriter, while looking at the thick stacks of papers flying away strangely, he felt the strange atmosphere around him and began to discuss urgently.

‘! ! ’

‘Annie? ’

'Hey! Where are you going, kid? ! ’

Suddenly, the shoulder blade warrior Aiqi discovered that a certain little girl was so careless, she left the team directly, walked towards the wooden door in front and pushed it open? Therefore, he was so scared that he hurriedly planned to call the other party.

"Of course, just go in and take a look!"

☆⌒(*＾-゜)v!!

'but! ’

‘There is a terrible evil spirit in it! ! ’

Edge felt that he was a little bit trembling with the weird music and atmosphere in the hall before he even went in. Why would the other party dare to walk in by himself?

"Evil spirit?"

=????????(??????*)

"but……"

(????????`)

"I am a great mage~lightnovelpub.net~ why should we be afraid of those evil spirits?"

??(⊙??⊙)??

You know, fear stems from the unknown and weakness, and now, even in the game, Annie is one of the top game professionals in the Oasis player, and she is also the arcane archmage who uses mysterious powers, so why Are you still afraid of those evil spirits?

This is equivalent to those guys in the fan league guilds, those guys who use mystical powers and skills like archangels or foxes who come here but dare not enter, like angels or monsters, are they afraid of some evil? Spirit?

'what? ’

'This……'

Edge didn't know what to say.

Because he looked at each other with his comrades and he seemed to come back soon afterwards: here, except for the little girl, it seems that all of them are players who are oriented towards technology, none of them That kind of effective means to deal with ghosts and evil spirits?

"People are going in first, you have to work hard, don't be afraid!"

(????????-)??

"Goodbye!"

ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~~!

Annie wouldn't be chattering with these people outside, so, after waving at a few people, she just let go of the wooden door, and then started to go deeper into this'shining' mansion. , Strode to the corridor where weird music was playing.

‘! ! ’

'and many more! ’

'Hey! Annie, wait for us! ! ’

However, when Edgie, Artemis and others threw down the door, they were still a little late. How could they still see each other?
