In the end, Rion did not hear Lena say those ‘Cinta’ words again.
He's a little disappointed.
Moreover, the two of them had been wandering aimlessly in the city all morning and had found no clues whatsoever.
No. gabe... There seemed to be nothing to find - there was a high wall around the tower building in the middle of the city, and there were soldiers guarding it along the way, the place seemed to be a forbidden area for civilians.
Lena asked a few questions, and the only information she got was that this building made the city run normally. As for what this building was and how the city was still running normally, everyone who passed by ignored the question.
For example, this is common sense where everyone understands that a cell phone can make a phone call, but many people do not know exactly why a cell phone can make a phone call.
This feeling made Lena feel a little uncomfortable.
Besides, they found nothing strange. Also besides the tower, there seemed to be nothing strange about this city. They don't see any other players.
This did not surprise Lena. After all, the city is huge, and it already falls into the category of super large copies.
Even if there were more than 30 players participating in the copy, it would not be wrong to call this city a maze. They were just a drop of water on a very large board.
Lena is in no hurry to find someone else, her next plan is to find a way to investigate the background of the city.
And if you want to find this kind of information, there is no better place than a library.
The library in this city is not difficult to find, it can even be said that it is clearly visible from the main road, after all it is quite impressive to have a library with an area as large as a school.
Standing in front of the library gate, Rion was quite surprised, "This is just a library, is it necessary to make it this big?"
“Maybe information of all residents of the city is stored here.”
Lena observed the situation at the door for a while, and after confirming that no additional security measures were needed to enter the library, she entered with Rion.
The space in the library was much larger than the two of them had imagined. In the hall section alone, there are even nearly 100 self-contained search engines to provide book information for guests. The bookcase that was over ten meters tall had also refreshed the perception of the two.
Looking at all kinds...the silver-white robot that flew between those bookshelves? It is thought that they are responsible for keeping a record of the books chosen and sought after by the guests.
From this point of view, the level of technology in this world is quite high - at least surpassing the real world.
This is a place that has never been seen in reality.
Lena secretly records this, and takes Rion to an empty, self-styled search engine to search for books related to the city's background.
Then, after seeing there were over 70,000 search results, he fell silent for a few seconds.
——Newly now he realized that the words he said about ‘everyone's information’ before entering the library was not a joke at all.
Just for the city's background, these books even contain specialized research dating back 40,000 years.
It's like you want to ask your friend ‘who that person’ is, but your friend replied by throwing a statement starting with the topic of human origin.
This gave him a strange sense of inexplicability.
‘Are they very unemployed?’
"The things recorded in this library are quite detailed ...." Rion was also a little surprised by the results, but after she searched, she finally found some books that barely fit their needs, “Let's start reading instead of staying here."
There is a reading room on the second floor of the library. Right now, there aren't many people here. Lena and Rion pick a spot in the corner and flip through the book.
The content within it unexpectedly felt bland.
It basically contained the current situation of the development of the city. Although the contents of these books are different, they can be summarized in one sentence——
“In prosperous times, the country is prosperous and the people are safe.”
None of the books had any relevant records about the tower, as if the tower did not exist, he said, and he had not found any information about the tower in a self-contained search engine before.
"That tower... Could it be the ‘Control’ Center mentioned in the mission?" Rion also thought of this copy, "We were reminded at the beginning of the game not to believe anything, maybe these books describe peace.”
“This possibility is to make us believe that everything is normal in this city, and if we want to find that Control Center, we will never be able to find it."
"No," Lena shook her head, "If the tower is really a Control Center, the copy will not use this method to hide it. This is too deliberate."
Come to think of it, anyone who entered this city, upon seeing the tower was most likely the first impression they got was fear, where it will match the description of ‘Control’ Center that should be destroyed.
More reckless players probably wouldn't bother looking for information and finding clues, they would just blow up the place first, and if they were wrong, then they would look for another way.
The game would not be stupid enough to make such a copy.
Of course, there was most likely a control center located somewhere in that tower.
After all, the tower covered a very large area, and it was impossible to destroy it completely with the current strength of players, if they put a bomb in the wrong place, it was just as useless, no use at all, that will only add to the difficulties for themselves.
So we still have to find a clue.
Just as they were perplexed, a man who happened to pass by them and headed for the table next door accidentally bumped into the corner of their other table, staggered, and the book in his hand fell off.
Lena and Rion saw the book cover simultaneously—
"How to plan the crime of perfect large-scale destruction"
Lena, "..."
Rion, "..."
Looking at their eyes, the man was startled, and hurriedly picked up the book and held it in his hand, "I only saw it as a reference ... Don't think too much ..."
Leaving behind these words, he immediately ran to his desk, hid amongst his friends, and lowered his head to pretend to be asleep.
Rion was astonished, "There are even books like this in this library?"
Lena looked at the people's table for a few seconds.
They were basically young men and women in their twenties. After the boy said something earlier, the men turned their attention to Rion and Lena's side, with different expressions.
He then chuckled, "Rion, do you think it was unintentional?"
There were so many empty tables that they would not collide with each other, but that person bumped into their table, which happened to show the cover of the book he was reading to the two of them.
To say it was a coincidence, it was too suspicious.
As he said this, Rion also realized this, "You mean they did it on purpose?"
Lena said without hesitation, "Let's go and see, there's nothing we can do now anyway."
Whatever the intentions of these people, maybe this is how the game system guides them to advance the progress of the copy.
When player progress is stagnant in place, the game system will automatically do this - after all, not all players are interested in reading each clue carefully.
So, when finding a copy that requires patience and thoroughness, it is likely that they will block all copies of this type for them.
If the player cannot move forward, the game will forcefully push the player forward.
And there are many ways for this, like things happening right now that are likely not coincidences.
Lena wanted to see what tricks this group of people played.
