Chapter 47 The Deterrence Across Boundaries (Please continue reading)
This approach is similar to using a dimensional reduction attack.

It's like in a video game, the final boss has unlocked his invincibility, and you can't defeat him no matter what you do, but then your mom suddenly comes in and turns off your computer.

As I said before, to deal with monsters with mechanics, you have to crush them with sheer power.

In the original Ring novel, Ryuji Takayama discovers the truth about the so-called Ring World before his death: this world doesn't actually exist. He then dials a number and successfully establishes contact with the real world...

"No matter what, I have to do the same as him and first establish connections with the real world."

After a moment's thought, Lu Ming took out the preserved videotape again and played it in the small apartment.

At this moment, the external order has completely collapsed, as if the end of the world has come, while Lu Ming's apartment is like an isolated island, temporarily in a safe place.

However, this safety is not permanent. As time goes by, Sadako will eventually attack him, the only human in the Ring World.

At this point, the apartment's water and electricity had been completely cut off, but as the videotape was inserted, the screen of the old-fashioned television still lit up after flickering a few times.

The four infamous images began to play in turn on the television screen.

At first, Lu Ming didn't notice anything amiss.

He replayed the videotape, and to get a better look, Lu Ming leaned closer to the screen.

As a result, Sadako in the videotape also moved closer, her face touching Lu Ming's, and the two stared at each other across the screen for a long time.

Having experienced supernatural events and possessing mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, Lu Ming was not particularly afraid of the current situation. Even if Sadako crawled out now, she couldn't kill him.

Sadako, who had already annihilated the entire island nation, posed a threat to Lu Ming because she could infinitely multiply her clones, thus reaching an astonishing level of terror.

It's just a Sadako on a TV screen; it's not something to be afraid of.

"This is······"

Lu Ming noticed some dice-like patterns appearing on the screen. If one knew some biology, they would know that these numbers meant "stop" in the DNA base arrangement.

This is a button that represents termination, hidden in the videotape in a clandestine manner.

Dial this number means pressing a button to connect with the real world.

After writing down the number, Lu Ming took out the videotape, and the TV screen turned gray again.

Although the entire island nation's power system had collapsed, this did not prevent Lu Ming from dialing the number.

After all, it's a number that connects to the real world, so it can't be judged by common sense.

Sure enough, when Lu Ming pressed the number keys on the old landline, the landline did not respond at all, as if it were completely broken. But when Lu Ming entered the complete number and pressed the dial button, a series of beeping electronic sounds came, and the call was connected.

···········
This is the real world.

The Institute of Environmental Studies.

A system notification suddenly rang out in the quiet research institute.

When the scientists saw the characters displayed on the big screen, their expressions were incredibly varied. "How is this possible? Someone dialed the number we hid in the program?"

Was it a coincidence?

"No way, the probability is too low. Could it be that someone has realized that the world they live in is fictional? I know this is absurd... but let's connect and see anyway."

The call was connected, and every researcher put down their work and stood up to wait for this moment to arrive.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and a full ten seconds passed.

Until a low voice came from the institute's broadcast system.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're from the real world, right?"

A simple sentence, yet it's like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

The researchers had considered many possibilities, but they never imagined that the first communication between the two worlds would begin with this sentence.

The goldfish in the fish tank actually realized that they were being imprisoned and that there was a much wider world outside. What a joke!
Moreover, because of their negligence, the entire Ring Realm should have fallen, so what's going on with this living person?

Before the researchers could react, Lu Ming spoke again, his voice amplified by the institute's loudspeakers, echoing throughout the empty space.

"You've noticed the situation in the Ring. For certain reasons, you must immediately stop the operation of this virtual world. I know that what happens inside the Ring makes no difference to you, but making the entire Ring disappear is not my request, but an order."

The lead researcher frowned.

Lu Ming's tone made him very uncomfortable, but he couldn't refute him. Unlike the other humans who were locked in cages and studied and knew nothing, Lu Ming had everything under control. He seemed to be standing in a dimension higher than the real world, mysterious, profound, and elusive.

His intuition told him that this person was dangerous and difficult to deal with.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"Destroy all servers and shut down the Ring. I won't do it a second time, otherwise I can turn your real world into the next Ring."

The lead researcher chuckled, seemingly finding Lu Ming's statement somewhat absurd and comical.

He did not deny that Lu Ming's insight was the strongest in the entire Ring Realm, and it even shocked them at the beginning.

But... a virtual character that only exists in the system saying that he's going to punch you through the internet cable, who wouldn't laugh?

“I have to admit that your research is indeed very valuable, but we cannot agree to your request. Destroying all the servers because of a system bug is too foolish. As you know, our researchers have poured too much effort into the Ringworld.”

Lu Ming was not surprised by the reply; it was all within his expectations.

As mentioned before, researchers in the real world don't care about the lives or deaths of people in the virtual world.

As expected, Lu Ming did not continue speaking. Instead, he took the hand of the mummified bride and used his supernatural powers.

Without warning, eerie laughter and cries mingled together, echoing through the other side of the ring and research institute, creating a truly chilling atmosphere...
