Chapter 173 - 173 Morpheus, the Ultimate Riddler

173 Morpheus, the Ultimate Riddler

After hearing it, Angelica looked at the two different-colored pills in Morpheus’ palms. In disbelief, she inquired.

“What if I eat the blue pill?”

Morpheus replied with a faint smile.

“If you choose to take the blue pill, you will forget everything that happened before. You will still live as an ordinary person in this world until you die of old age.”

“So now, the choice that will decide your fate has been placed in front of you. You can choose whether to eat the red pill to see the truth of this world and the Matrix?”

“Or choose to forget everything and continue your ordinary life?”

“Remember, you only have one chance to choose. Once you take the pill, you will never be able to regret it!”

Morpheus fell silent after he finished speaking. He didn’t urge or try to induce Angelica to eat one of the pills.

Obviously, Morpheus had given Angelica the right to choose.

In such a situation, Angelica had no other choice.

If she were a person who lived in this game world, she might have hesitated. After all, her life trajectory would be completely changed from this moment on.

It was tough to decide on such an important life event.

Unfortunately, Angelica was a player. She wanted to not be an ordinary person in this world, to work honestly, and to die of old age.

Furthermore, Angelica believed that if she ate the blue pill, the game would be over!

To clear the game smoothly, Angelica didn’t hesitate at all. She grabbed the red pill in Morpheus’ hand.

Morpheus said with a gratified smile.

“Congratulations! You have made the right choice. You will see the real world, and you will never regret the decision you have made now!”

Angelica still didn’t know what Morpheus’ words meant, but she quickly swallowed the pill in her hand.

Afterward, a woman in the room activated the machine. The mirror next to her suddenly turned pure black, and there seemed to be ink flowing in the mirror.

Angelica reached out to touch it and found that the black substance had started to spread along her body.

Morpheus, on the other hand, loudly urged the woman to speed up.

The woman replied, “I’m already looking for him! I’m about to find him… I’ve found him!”

Angelica couldn’t understand their conversation and thought, “What are they looking for?”

“What was the black substance on my body?”

Just as all sorts of questions and doubts appeared in Angelica’s mind, her vision turned dark again.

Obviously, the game has started a new plot, and new resources should be loading now.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Angelica temporarily removed the equipment on her body and paused the game.

For some reason, Angelica felt that the atmosphere in the game was a little too depressing when she was playing The Matrix I.

It soon consumed her energy, even though she hadn’t fought in the game yet.

However, after playing for a while, Angelica was already feeling a little tired.

“Wow! The atmosphere of this game is so depressing. Does anyone know what Morpheus is going to show me?”

“And what exactly is the Matrix? And what is the real world he mentioned?”

Angelica started interacting with the live stream room viewers for the time being, constantly asking them questions about the game.

As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the player. Although Angelica’s strength was slightly stronger than the live stream room viewers…

However, Angelica had always been in the game world, so she might ignore some details. The live stream room viewers often noticed many things that she didn’t notice.

That was why Angelica wanted to ask the viewers if she had missed anything.

However, the viewers’ answer made Angelica feel slightly disappointed.

Angelica thought, “Sigh, these guys didn’t get any useful information.”

Since Angelica started playing The Matrix, the game hadn’t shown any crucial information.

For example, what were the game’s background and setting?

What kind of role did the player play in this game? What was their goal if they wanted to win the game?

The game had never shown such pieces of information to the players as if the information were some huge secret that couldn’t be told to anyone.

Angelica wasn’t used to the new game mode.

Angelica had played the entire Zombie Apocalypse series and was used to the feeling of having a clear goal at the start and working hard to achieve it.

[I don’t know. The game has provided too little information. All we know is that there’s something wrong with this world.]

[That’s right! I feel like if we want to know what the game wants the players to do, we should take the red pill and wait for the game to reveal everything to the players after they wake up!]

[Sigh, the pace of this game is so slow. Angelica has been playing for so long but she doesn’t even know what the goal is!]

[Maybe Su Ping is trying out a new game mode. But so far, the plot of the game is still acceptable. It seems to be a good thing.]

[That’s right! After all, everyone is already tired of the Zombie Apocalypse series. If the new game continues to follow such a plot style, Su Ping might not be able to make a better game!]

Looking at the various suggestions and understandings given by the players in the comment section, Angelica still couldn’t find any useful information.

It seemed that Su Ping had made up his mind when he was making the game. He wouldn’t let the players find out the truth of the world on their own.

“Su Ping, you’re such a miser. You’ve hidden all the information so well. You can’t do this in the next game. I’m still confused even though I’ve played until this point!”

Angelica couldn’t help but complain to Su Ping, who was sitting next to her.

After all, the game producer was sitting right next to her, so Angelica could be considered to have obtained a VIP spot to complain.

...

After hearing Angelica’s words, Su Ping looked like he accepted her suggestion with an open mind.

Su Ping, on the other hand, was helplessly thinking in his heart.

“This game is created by the system. I can’t change it, though.
