Chapter 594: Randomly Selecting Lucky Viewers as Streamers
Chapter 594: Randomly Selecting Lucky Viewers as Streamers
The situation with Qin Muye naturally sparked confusion among the base personnel. They noticed that Qin Muye was watching a snowy screen with great interest, and combined with the previous warnings, it was clear that something was off with him.
"Sir, do you have any specific requirements for tonight's dinner?" A researcher walked in, ostensibly to inquire about dinner but also to check what Qin Muye was watching.
As soon as the words were spoken, the researcher saw the scene of a mass escape on the screen, and a member of a special task force was seen protecting a group of civilians while fighting a monster. The current view was from the monster's perspective.
Suddenly, a chill swept over the room, as if the temperature had dropped by nearly 20 degrees compared to outside.
"Oh, anything is fine, you decide," Qin Muye said, getting up and unplugging the TV, but the screen remained on, still broadcasting the live stream.
"I was thinking about changing the channel, but it wouldn't let me. Now, even unplugging the power doesn't work."
"Do you have any interest in turning this thing into a generator? It might even become a perpetual motion machine or something."
Qin Muye's mind raced, thinking it might be fun, considering the TV was indeed functioning.
"Sir, those are likely the members of the special task force that was wiped out," the researcher said, forcing himself to stay calm.
Seeing the researcher's composure, Qin Muye was quite surprised. This guy had some nerve, not getting scared at all.
"Actually, it's the one who drove back to report. The others are all gone, but he managed to escape and was caught again to be live-streamed."
"I must say, this terrifying escape live stream is really something. They don't even hire streamers, just randomly pick a bunch of lucky viewers to be the unlucky ones. And they don't even spend money on promotion. Look at the number of viewers, only fifty. The next batch of unlucky streamers, I suppose."
The researcher understood Qin Muye's warning: after this batch dies, fifty more will be captured to play the escape game.
"Thank you, Sir. The Global Defenders will remember your kindness," the researcher said, noting that this Beta-level anomaly, the Lord, seemed to be on their side.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so considerate, though it could also be a facade.
As for asking Qin Muye for help, that was unrealistic. They wouldn't misuse any anomaly.
To them, asking Qin Muye to save someone might seem simple, but they would have to pay a greater price later to balance this act of kindness.
The researcher hurriedly left Qin Muye's room, and this action seemed to anger the terrifying escape live stream. The screen began to fluctuate and show static.
Ultimately, it formed a massive vortex, generating a gravitational pull, seemingly trying to suck Qin Muye in as an escapee.
But Qin Muye had no intention of going. Why would he go in to chase this thing? So he stubbornly stood still. The suction lasted about three seconds before the terrifying escape live stream stopped its action.
Then it gradually faded, leaving nothing behind.
This confirmed that the terrifying escape live stream had its own set of judgment criteria, and it seemed to be very sophisticated.
However, Qin Muye had also grasped its core.
"A composite anomaly with spatial, transmission, and development systems. The Global Defenders will have a headache," Qin Muye couldn't help but smile. He enjoyed watching the chaos.
First, the terrifying escape live stream was on the internet and couldn't be deleted using conventional methods. Second, it had a physical presence, a special dimension, and would automatically calibrate, capture, and transport people into it.
However, it wasn't impossible to escape. After completing ten escape live streams, one could be released. The constant number of participants was fifty, and if fewer were present, more would be added, but the number could never exceed fifty.
Anyway, it randomly selected unlucky individuals, and there was no way to complete ten escape live streams, given that even the special task force couldn't handle the pursuer.
The pursuer, a monster tied to the terrifying escape live stream, was virtually indestructible and had strength far exceeding that of a normal human. It also gained strength based on the highest number of successful escapes among the fifty survivors. The more escapes a person had, the stronger the pursuer became, with no regard for new participants.
So, basically, no one has successfully completed ten live streams.
Once you go in, there's no coming out. If someone were to last until the tenth live stream, Qin Muye estimated that they would face an 8th-stage pursuer. Could an ordinary person withstand that?
As for how to deal with it, Qin Muye's method wouldn't work. The best solution would be to directly destroy the entire live stream, annihilating it from a physical perspective.
What else could be done? He did have other methods, but why use them when there was an optimal solution?
The Global Defenders would use their own methods, and Qin Muye couldn't control that. He just hoped they would fight fiercely.
It would be best if they could enter this live stream space and engage in a bloody and fiery battle.
He wanted to see if this pursuer monster could withstand a bombardment of artillery.
With its current strength, a concentrated artillery attack could turn the pursuer into a pile of flesh. It might not die, but it could certainly be injured.
Being indestructible was powerful, but there were many ways to deal with such entities. There were likely veteran survivors among the group who had completed two to three rounds of live streams. Otherwise, it wouldn't have wiped out the entire special task force. With the firepower of the task force, the initial pursuer monster would have been obliterated on the spot.
"However, I can't find the live stream anymore," Qin Muye discovered when he tried to search for it again.
"This is too unfair. If I don't want to be a lucky viewer, you shouldn't prevent me from watching."
"An anomaly that hasn't experienced a beating doesn't know how to be smooth."
Qin Muye estimated that the terrifying escape live stream hadn't been around for long. Otherwise, the Global Defenders would have discovered it by now. This entity's reckless behavior made it impossible for it to survive for long.
Fifty people disappearing at once, even as lucky viewers, would result in a high death toll. If fifty people died each day, that would be five hundred in ten days. The numbers would add up quickly.
So, Qin Muye suspected it had just been created recently. By "recently," he meant within the last ten years, not just a day or two. He guessed it had been around for one or two months. The Global Defenders had likely been monitoring it and only caught a lead today, resulting in the task force's failure.
This was quite normal. You entered their territory, and with their considerable strength, you wouldn't survive.
"Pity, I can't see how they'll handle it."
The terrifying escape live stream might be stubborn, but Qin Muye didn't think it could outlast the Global Defenders. Although the first confrontation failed, the second one would likely be the end of it.
Qin Muye could solve it with brute force, and the Global Defenders could use various technologies. This anomaly's hazard level was at most Beta, far from Omega.
It was difficult to handle at this stage, but not impossible. If it grew to the point where everyone was entering the terrifying live streams, it would be too late.
"Probably by tomorrow, there will be news," Qin Muye estimated. Yes, it was difficult, so it would take until tomorrow to resolve.
If it were easy, it would have been resolved and contained on the spot, without the total annihilation of the task force.
"It's a shame, with my current capabilities, I can't delve into it," Muye lamented. His ongoing projects were far more critical than the tasks and systems of this virtual world. He knew where his priorities lay.
As long as the Instance World remained stable, he didn't need to worry about the anomalies vanishing. He was confident he'd have the opportunity to address this issue eventually.
"Lord, your dinner is ready. Would you like to eat here or should I arrange another place for you?" The person noticed the messy room, caused by the suction from the terrifying escape live stream.
"Let's arrange another place for me," Qin Muye glanced at the meal cart and decided to change the location. The room was a mess and needed cleaning.
Obviously, the person delivering the meal knew something but was pretending to be oblivious.
"Of course, please follow me. I have already arranged a dining room for you," the person said, ready for any choice Qin Muye made.
