Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 923 Non-NPC
But compared to his colleagues, Jiang Wengao cared more about another person.

After the divine law was over, before he was discharged from the hospital due to his injury, he and the nurse who was in charge of taking care of him exchanged WeChat contacts and often chatted after get off work.

Jiang Wengao never told anyone else in the department about this.

She was just an ordinary logistics staff member in the medical department; if the apocalypse really came, she probably wouldn't survive.

Based on his understanding of the nurse, he knew she wouldn't have run away; she would have chosen to stay.

"call--"

Jiang Wengao sighed heavily.

Although he knew he was just a nobody and could never do as well as Brother Bai and Brother Shou.

But as expected... I still want to try my best to save it.

Jiang Wengao pondered for a moment, then picked up his phone and sent a message to Su Yue: "Sister Su, what do you want most right now?"

Su Yue: [? I don't really want anything, why are you suddenly asking this?]

Jiang Wengao: [I just want an interview, please, it's very important to me.]

Su Yue: [What I want... I really don't have. Of course, if you can just imagine it, I want a sealing artifact that can kill an EX-level target directly without any side effects.]

Jiang Wengao: [Ideally, it should be something that exists in reality. Sister Su, imagine what you would want if you wanted something fifty years from now?]

Su Yue: [Xiao Gao, are you serious? Fifty years from now! I don't even know what I'll be like in fifty years, how could I possibly know what I'll want? By the way, you guys aren't playing some kind of dare game in the department, are you?]

Jiang Wengao felt very embarrassed, and he also felt that his question was too demanding.

How could Sister Su know what she would want fifty years from now? That's too far in time.

Indeed, it's more reliable to just ask the person fifty years in the future directly in the game, but...

Jiang Wengao suddenly remembered the book that Sister Su always held in the game. The Bureau of Control still has that book in its collection. They escaped from that book.

He immediately followed up with a message: "Do you like reading?"

Su Yue: [It's alright, but I don't have a particularly strong interest in books. I'll read them if I need to, but if it's for entertainment, as long as the story is good, I don't care whether it's a comic, a movie, a TV series, or a book.]

Xiao Gao, what exactly do you want to ask? Who sent you to ask me? Are you trying to give me a gift?

Jiang Wengao: [No, it's just a very important statistical interview that involves an unusual phenomenon I've recently come across. Anyway, please cooperate, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back!]

Su Yue: [Cooperation is fine. Although my situation is terrible, everyone is powerless to help, so we're all just sitting around doing nothing. I'm also quite free, so I can cooperate with you.]

But I don't know the specifics, so we might not be able to coordinate well.

Jiang Wengao: [Nothing, just asking, Sister Su, have you read "The Season When the Stars Fall"? It's the book we used when we escaped from the underworld last time.]

Su Yue: [I remember, what's wrong?]

Jiang Wengao: [Have you seen it?]

Su Yue: [You've seen it, right? After all, it's a very special banned item. I was quite interested at the time, so I specifically looked into it.]

Jiang Wengao: [Do you think...the story is good?]

Su Yue: [To be honest, it's incredibly boring. It can't even be called a story; it's just a rambling account. There's no condensed plot or conflict, and the narration is disjointed and disjointed. Although this kind of narrative is close to the chaotic reality, as a novel, it's definitely unacceptable.]

Jiang Wengao frowned, feeling like his head was about to explode.

What's going on?

Has Sister Su's hobbies changed fifty years later?
Or did she develop a liking for that book after becoming an anomaly?

It would be great if we could tell everyone the details of the game, but the closed beta agreement clearly states that we cannot mention any game information to NPCs in the game through non-game means.

This clause actually has many loopholes, but the contracts in the extraordinary world are not the devil's bargain in fairy tales, where you can easily outmaneuver the devil by playing word games.

Having transmigrated so completely, Jiang Wengao already knew that the rules within the anomalies were not meant for people to exploit loopholes, but rather a basic form of compassion and guidance.

It has no obligation to make humans fully understand it. Just like a mathematical formula is there, how you understand it is your business, but the correct answer will not change because you play word games, and the examiner will not judge it as correct because of it.

If you want to play word games, bypassing these rules is incredibly easy.

For example, readers can argue that real people don't count as NPCs in a game, and even if they have the same name, there is a difference between the prototype and the NPC.

However, if a player actually shares information from the game with a friend who shares the same name, that would absolutely violate the agreement, something Jiang Wengao knows without even trying.

In this game's logic, the current world is the world from fifty years ago in the game's background, and everyone around him is considered a game NPC.

All he can do now is try to understand the true intent of these agreement terms as accurately as possible, and do what he can without breaking the rules.

"You cannot inform NPCs through non-game means." Jiang Wengao repeated this subtle phrase.

Since the world he lives in is considered a game, everything he can do should be a game-like tactic. His state of playing the game in the Origin Sea is actually a "reality" of escaping this game world. He thinks that's how the terms should be defined.

“NPC…”

A sudden flash of inspiration exploded in Jiang Wengao's mind!

He suddenly realized that he was not in the background of this closed beta version of the game.

Why didn't it appear? Because from the game developer's perspective, he is a player who travels through time to play the game, and is not included in the official version.

So even though the closed beta adjusted the history from fifty years ago, he still didn't appear, and all the things that should have been done by him were taken over by the natives of other game worlds.

And just like him, there has always been someone like him!

This person is nowhere to be found, neither in the official version nor in the current modified beta version!

Jiang Wengao's eyes widened suddenly, and he slowed down his hurried pace, stopping in the middle of the office corridor.

"Brother Shou... is a player too?!"

He didn't know if his guess was correct, but the answer was secondary now. What mattered was that since Xia Shou wasn't an NPC, he could directly tell him the game information!

"There's hope!" Jiang Wengao's lips curled up, unable to contain his joy.

This is definitely the right approach!

He took off running, dashing towards the office like the wind.
