Hearing Brother Jiang's words, Old Wu was a bit dazed.
He hadn't expected that in the ti it took to brew tea, Rookie could reveal so much to Brother Jiang.
Old Wu was just about to deflect it all when he happened to glance at Rookie.
At that mont, Rookie was staring intently at a loose thread on Brother Jiang's sleeve, itching to pull it off.
"This kid… he's got zero defenses against him?"
Old Wu knew Rookie's personality. Although he looked silly, he had never actually been taken advantage of.
In dealing with people, it's the sa. He is able to rember people he's close to, and their character is generally not a problem.
Looking at how the rookie is acting, he has completely let down his guard against Brother Jiang.
Old Wu saw this, sighed deeply, then gave Brother Jiang a cigarette, lit one for him, and also lit one for himself.
After taking a deep drag, he finally spoke.
"Recently, it's been unstable inside the ga. I heard that things in the Void are going to attack the main world again."
"The higher-ups don't care about this at all as long as the online player count doesn't fluctuate. But I keep feeling like this ti, the matter isn't small…"
Speaking of this, Old Wu flicked the cigarette ash and continued, "Brother Jiang, to be honest, I've heard so things about Notch, but it's all just rumors without proof."
"But I do know, for a ga to take ten years to launch, there must have been a lot of things that happened in between."
"And also…"
"Too many things have already happened in this ga that we just can't explain…"
Old Wu smoked one cigarette after another very quickly, seeming sowhat anxious inside.
After a mont of silence, he let out a long breath and finally spoke again, "I don't know much about the Void."
"Sa for the Trial Grounds. But I heard that the Trial Grounds and the Void are not related, that much should be certain."
"As for Entity 303…"
Saying this, Old Wu's emotions clearly started to go wrong, he seed to choke up a little.
"His na was Mo Jiang, employee number 303, a good kid and excellent."
"Later, the company made him take the fall and fired him."
"Not long after he was fired, Entity 303 appeared in the ga, with the exact sa appearance as his administrator account."
"His data couldn't be found in the ga…"
"Later, I went to his rental apartnt, and he wasn't there. The place was already covered in dust."
"Reported to the police, but there was never any follow-up."
"He disappeared from this world as if he evaporated into thin air, but he's been active inside the ga world ever since…"
Ever since Mo Jiang had his incident, Old Wu had always felt guilty in his heart.
After all, it was indeed Old Wu who asked Mo Jiang to go solve the problem at the ti, and as a result, Mo Jiang took the bla.
Zero Point Company has quite a big reputation in the industry, and after Mo Jiang was fired, it was very difficult for him to get another job at a different company.
He basically lost his ans of living.
Mo Jiang was originally soone who didn't know the truth. He just made a small mistake, yet ended up with such an outco.
Naturally, Old Wu felt guilty.
Old Wu just didn't expect that Mo Jiang's matter would gradually develop in a direction he couldn't control.
Old Wu was the first person to visit Mo Jiang.
He was the one who had seen Mo Jiang's rental room completely.
Though in the end, Old Wu still chose to report it as a missing person.
But in his heart, Old Wu didn't really believe that Mo Jiang went missing.
All of Mo Jiang's belongings were left inside the rental room, including his phone.
These days, who goes out without taking their phone?
Unless they were kidnapped or had so ergency.
There were no signs of a struggle inside Mo Jiang's room, so the possibility of kidnapping was ruled out first.
Later, the police also checked surveillance footage. Ever since Entity 303 appeared in the ga, Mo Jiang had never appeared on cara again.
That is to say, ever since Entity 303 appeared in the ga, Mo Jiang had remained inside the rental room.
He didn't go out, and no food delivery guys ever delivered food to him.
No food at ho, and he didn't order takeout? Then how did he survive for so long?
Everything seems to point to this one thing, Mo Jiang crossed over into the ga and beca Entity 303.
But in his heart, Old Wu didn't dare believe this fact.
Because this matter had already gone beyond what Old Wu could understand.
Or rather, all the things that happened inside this ga had already gone beyond what Old Wu could understand.
The reason Old Wu opened up to Brother Jiang was because he increasingly felt that this ga was gradually becoming out of control.
Recently, too many things have happened that even the official side can't solve.
Like the Void, the Trial Grounds, and so on.
The higher-ups keep putting pressure, and on top of that, Old Wu has been hiding the big secret about Mo Jiang crossing into the ga inside his heart.
Old Wu already felt ntally and physically exhausted.
He doesn't love this ga world, after all, frankly speaking, he's just a senior programr.
He's just scared that one day sothing will go wrong in the ga, and he'll lose his job.
Or that one day he'll end up crossing into the ga just like Mo Jiang.
Old Wu isn't like Mo Jiang, he has elderly parents and children. It's the ti for enjoying family life, so naturally, he doesn't want to cross into the ga.
That's why Old Wu chose to tell Brother Jiang the truth.
He kept feeling like Brother Jiang and Notch must know sothing about this ga world.
After all, the ga was developed by Notch with Brother Jiang accompanying him, and it took ten years.
Old Wu understands the industry, for this kind of sandbox ga, even with a sample, making a holographic version doesn't take that long.
Even if you add in all kinds of Mods, it still wouldn't take that long.
So, sothing must have happened during those ten years.
That is to say, this ga may have already had problems during developnt.
So, right now, maybe only Brother Jiang and Notch can resolve all the unstable factors appearing inside the ga.
Old Wu doesn't have a way to talk to Notch. Though the rookie is quite close with Notch, with that kind of personality, Old Wu knows well he won't get any useful answers.
Now that Brother Jiang happened to ask, Old Wu finally found a way to vent.
Just as Old Wu was thinking, the rookie, who had just finished picking off a thread from Brother Jiang's sleeve, suddenly interrupted.
"Hmm? Are you talking about Mo Jiang?!"
"I haven't seen him in a long ti either, but the last ti I saw him, he looked like he was living a pretty carefree life in the ga!"
"His skills were super cool! And he had a super cool weapon."
"Feels like he's happier in the ga than when he was at the company."
"So jealous… If only I could go into the ga too!"
"It's decided!!! Next ti I see him, I'll definitely ask him to teach !!"
What Old Wu said earlier was very reserved, but what the rookie just said made everything completely clear.
Old Wu had always felt guilty about Mo Jiang. Hearing the rookie say he's happier inside the ga than at the company,
He suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
The rookie is simple-minded and speaks without beating around the bush. Just now he was busy picking threads and hadn't noticed Old Wu's strange mood, so he naturally wasn't lying to comfort him.
So what the rookie said must be true.
At this mont, Old Wu felt much better, but Brother Jiang, who's usually calm and composed, wasn't calm anymore.
"You an Mo Jiang crossed into the ga?!!"
Brother Jiang wasn't stupid. These master and disciple, one implying and the other stating, were both telling him the fact that Mo Jiang crossed into the ga.
Naturally, Brother Jiang understood, and the reason he asked again was because it was too unbelievable.
Seeing how directly Brother Jiang asked, Old Wu no longer spoke in riddles. He nodded solemnly.
Seeing Old Wu nod, Brother Jiang collapsed onto the bench.
The expression on his face was very complicated.
There was shock, confusion, helplessness, and seemingly a bit of joy too.
Seeing the expression on Brother Jiang's face, Old Wu beca even more sure that Brother Jiang probably knew sothing.
Brother Jiang took a sip of tea, slowly cald down his emotions, silently struggled with himself for a while.
After a while, he finally asked Old Wu.
"This kind of crossing… I've only read about it in novels…"
"Seems there are two kinds."
Saying this, Brother Jiang seed a little embarrassed and coughed twice.
"Cough, cough…"
"One is soul travel, the other is full body travel…"
Saying this, Brother Jiang sneakily glanced at Old Wu, afraid he'd get laughed at.
Seeing Old Wu still wearing a serious expression, only then did he let out a breath.
Hearing Brother Jiang's question, although Old Wu didn't know what his purpose was, he still answered seriously.
"I feel like it's full body travel…"
Saying this, Old Wu felt sothing was off, thought for a while, and added,
"What I can confirm is, after he beca Entity 303, his physical body disappeared from the rental room out of thin air."
"But in the ga, his appearance isn't his own…"
"It's the appearance of the admin 303 he created when he was in the company."
"I later checked his ga pod and saw so virus programs he wrote to invade the company's mainfra…"
"…"
Saying this, even Old Wu wasn't sure anymore what form Mo Jiang used to cross over.
Hearing Old Wu's words, Brother Jiang thought for a long ti, then let out a deep sigh.
"His appearance must be the virus code he wrote to invade, right?"
"To use such an appearance must be because he wanted you all to see, to see his revenge."
"But by so twist of fate, he crossed into the ga…"
Saying this, Brother Jiang seed to confirm sothing, and continued.
"The ga world doesn't support his physical body's existence…"
"That is to say, his physical body probably dispersed during the crossing."
"This world no longer has Mo Jiang."
"But his soul resides beneath the shell of Entity 303…"
At this point, Brother Jiang's expression beca very complicated. He lit a cigarette, took a long drag.
Slowly exhaled a smoke ring, as the smoke gradually dispersed.
"The things that happened back then… I understand now…"
