Outside the gate, a wall was separated by more than 4,000 people were cheering and cheering, and everyone thought they had succeeded. But You Huo and Qin Jue changed their faces - this was different from what they expected.

According to estimates, when the damage to the main control center reaches 100%, the building will become ruins, leaving only the core main console.

The core main console is solid and will only have defense vulnerabilities at the last 1% critical point. If you seize those few seconds and blast the main console, the most vulnerable thing in the system will be exposed.

It should be something similar to a chip, which is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. It is similar to the one placed in Youhuo's eyes back then, and is called the core of the system.

At this moment, You Huo and the others had two choices.

Or, use correction procedures to interfere with the "core", forcibly make the system develop a self-correction awareness and fall into a state of self-destruction. Before self-destruction, according to the rules, it will throw everyone out.

Or they can wait for Group S to disappear completely and get the main control of the system. With just one instruction, everyone can be free.

But now, the main control center is collapsed, and they have neither obtained main control nor seen the core.

The system sound suddenly sounded again, intermittently as if it was poorly contacted:

[Warning! Warning! The main... control center suffered irreversible... damage, Group S failed to handle emergency treatment...failed! The supervisor's stewardship program has been banned, and the control will be fully recovered within 10 seconds.]

[This master control center is discarded... and the self-clearing program has been started.]

【Countdown, 10--】

The sudden change fooled the cheering people, and everyone stopped in a daze and looked at each other.

"What's going on? Isn't it going to end?"

"What does self-clearance mean? Do you self-destruct?"

"Impossible!"

"What should we do then? Shouldn't we go out first?"

Amid the noisy discussion, someone said, "I won't be able to get out, right?"

This is like a nuclear bomb that exploded among thousands of people.

【9-8-

The countdown of the system hangs above the head. Every time a number is counted, it will explode, making everyone's brains buzz and blank.

The sky was covered with gray and yellow, and dust covered the top of the head. Outside the thick fog, there was an alarm light-like thing blinking in the countdown, flashing red light like a death talisman.

Just as it flashed to the fourth round, a rustling sound came from the broadcast, and another sound forced the system to replace:

【Boss, a, I am 154.】

154 The moment he grabbed control, the red light stopped, the countdown also stopped, and everyone's hearts were hanging in his throat.

For You Huo and Qin Jue in the building, the sound of 154 comes from the main console in front of you.

"154? Can you hear us talking?" Qin Jue went straight to the topic: "We blasted the main console, but there was no core, and it was empty here."

[I know, while the main control center was destroyed, I have been grabbing control. I have seen everything that happened here just now, but I just couldn't speak.]

【I remind two things when I come.】

[First, what the members of the S group just said were not completely true. I took over the system's historical information database a minute ago and saw everyone's past data. As far as I know, the initial invigilator was all real people entering the system, which is similar to using the magnetic field and various conditions to open an intersection between the two dimensions. Only after that, the system changed its method, especially after severe out of control, only a small number of them were real people, such as the boss, who was mostly thinking about entering the country. The system may realize that the disappearance is too eye-catching, sick, shock, and brain death is normal.]

154 The tone is rare and a little anxious and angry: [So don’t believe those nonsense. I’m afraid that when you two hear that they are not physical, you will start to have no taboos. If you die, you will die!]

"I know." You Huo said.

In fact, half a minute ago, the moment he heard those words, he almost really believed them.

But just now, when Qin Jue opened the "disc" and walked to him, he suddenly remembered something - earrings.

If he was really just a projection of his thinking, this stud cannot always stay in his ear from the system to reality.

【Just know.】

154 breathed a sigh of relief.

[The second thing is the core of the system. If it is not here, it will definitely be hidden-]

His words were suddenly cut off in the middle. In the distant sky outside the thick fog, the red alarm light flashed again, and the cold sound of the system occupied the main position again, continuing its countdown:

【7--】

Before everyone could digest 154, they fell into a new round of panic.

Qin Zuo pinched his eyebrows hard, trying to remain rational and sober under the pressure of countdown: "154 means that the system hides the core, and the question is where it is hidden."

【6--】

"Since the main control center says it can be destroyed, it will definitely not be in any corner here. Where can I hide it?" Qin Ju looked around, "What place can it keep with confidence."

"It seems absolutely safe to be a place." You Huo licked his dry lips.

These small movements are enough to show that even they are starting to feel anxious and nervous.

【5--】

What is an absolutely safe place?

Either it is a place that you will never think of, or it is a place that you will not move rashly if you think of it.

The system is very proud to some extent and it is impossible to put the core in a corner, and no matter what, it will not really leave the center.

So where is it?

Invigilator area? Rest place?

Is there a place where they dare not move?

It seems that there is no, after all, they are crazy and even dare to deal with themselves.

【4--】

Suddenly, You Huo's face changed.

The concept of "self" reminded him that compared to the two of them, the lives of others may be safer, especially friends and companions.

Friends and companions...

A thunder sounded in my mind.

At the critical moment, the radio rustled again.

154 once again grabbed control. He didn't say hello this time and said quickly:

[Time is tight, you must first figure out where the system hides the core. In addition, the correction procedure is in your hands. If it is hidden outside the main control center and you can't reach it, then you have to--]

154 paused.

He seemed to swallow what he was going to say and changed his words: [I have to find another way.]

After saying this, he did not wait for the expected reply. The two people next to the main console suddenly fell into silence.

【Boss?】

【a?】

【Are you listening?】

"In..." You Huo looked at the main console.

Neither Qin Jue was distracted, they just suddenly thought of an answer-

Chu Yue.

A slight sound suddenly sounded on the radio, as if someone suddenly stood up.

Then, a very light female voice rang next to her: "154."

The moment she spoke, she revealed an unconcealable confusion, but she calmed down the next second, as if she had made up some idea, "Tell me something to you."

When he heard this, You Huo's face changed.

He wanted to wait and say not to be impulsive to Chu Yue. But the next second, the radio entered a silent state, and even the sizzling background sound came to an abrupt end...

***

In the abandoned apartment at the second resting place, 154 looked at the suspended radio and heard Chu Yue take a deep breath and said, "The system's core should be hidden here."

"I was like A, and my eyes were implanted. Do you know? I think that the core is probably hidden inside."

In fact, for a long time, she felt that she was more lucky than You Huo. She was also the object of learning and a special existence in the system, but their experiences were very different.

You Huo is the one who is simulated. You Huo is reluctant to leave after being watched 24 hours a day. You Huo is the one who is arched to a high position and kicked out of the system. You Huo is the one who is cleared of memory and past.

In contrast, she had hardly experienced too much ups and downs, had not received any harm, and even the things in her eyes were more at peace than You Huo. Once closed, there was no movement. So she even occasionally forgot that there was something that always followed her.

A long time ago, a colleague once said to her: "You and A are both chief invigilators, why do you feel that the system is a bit biased towards him? In various occasions, the one you are emphasized is A, and you seem to be always downplayed and forgotten."

She replied at the time: "If you do it wrong, I may be the one I am biased against."

She spent a lot of time thinking about why this bias existed.

Until today, she finally understood...

Because the system hides the most important things on her and does not want others to notice her.

It firmly believes that this is the safest place because a cannot hurt her rashly. As long as a does not move, others will not be a threat.
