Chapter 172 - 172 Red or Blue, Choose One

172 Red or Blue, Choose One

Actually, Angelica was curious about Morpheus.

After all, the reason Angelica had been tortured and interrogated by Agent Smith was that Smith wanted to get information about Morpheus’ whereabouts from her.

However, Angelica had never seen Morpheus before, so she naturally couldn’t agree to Agent Smith’s request. In the end, Agent Smith put a bug in her body.

On the phone, Morpheus directly invited Angelica out to meet him, but he didn’t tell her his true identity.

At this moment, the live stream room viewers also began to urge Angelica to agree.

[Hurry up and agree! What are you hesitating over? It is obvious that Morpheus is a key character in the following plot!]

[That’s right! He must be an important person since he knows your phone number and is being hunted down by Agent Smith!]

[Stop hesitating! You’ll be doomed if the call is eavesdropped on by the Federal Bureau of Investigation!]

Angelica also knew that it might be the start of a new plot, and she had no choice at all.

Moreover, there was probably a mechanical bug in her body. She didn’t know what to do if she didn’t meet Morpheus.

Hence, Angelica quickly decided to agree to Morpheus’s request to meet.

It was still raining heavily outside, and it took Angelica a lot of effort to arrive at the agreed-upon bridge.

Afterward, a black car stopped beside Angelica. However, as soon as Angelica got in, two women in the back seat took control of her body.

One of the women was holding a strange-looking machine. She lifted Angelica’s clothes and put the machine on her stomach.

It gave Angelica a huge shock.

Angelica thought, “Smith has just put a bug in my body not long ago, but why are these people taking off my clothes now?”

Angelica was traumatized to see people lifting her clothes.

However, one of the women quickly explained.

“Don’t move! The bug Smith put in your body is a tracker. You’ll only be safe after you take it out!”

Upon hearing it, Angelica’s hair stood on end.

Angelica thought, “There is really a bug in my body! Everything that happened before isn’t a dream!”

“That disgusting bug is a tracker?!”

“What kind of technology is this?”

“Was technology this advanced in the previous century?”

[What’s going on? Can we create such a bug-shaped tracking device?]

[Of course, we can’t! Don’t you see how realistic that bug is? It looks like a real worm! Even now, our technology isn’t that advanced!]

[So the world and technology in this game should be considered a parallel world? Is there a huge difference between this and the real world?]

[Obviously, it’s the truth. There seems to be some incredible technology in this game. However, it’s normal since it’s just a game!]

[So now these two women are going to take the bug out of Angelica’s body? Damn! I’m nauseated just thinking about it!]

After listening to the two women’s words, the live stream room viewers also discussed the bug.

The viewers were now fully aware of how drastically different the technological advancement in the game world was from that in reality.

This game world seemed to be from the last century, which should have been decades ago.

However, in this game world, there seemed to be many technologies that weren’t available even in the modern era.

Soon, the two women in the car aimed the machine at Angelica’s belly button.

Afterward, they activated the machine, and Angelica felt a terrible suction from her stomach. She sensed that something was being drawn from her body.

She even felt that her intestines were being sucked out.

Afterward, a large pool of blood mixed with the residue of mechanical and biological limbs appeared in the can of the machine.

It was obvious that the bug had been caught by the two women using the machine.

Moreover, the worms had already been killed when it was sucked out!

Looking at the remains of the dead bug, Angelica felt her scalp go numb.

The scene of Agent Smith stuffing the bug into her body at the Federal Bureau of Investigation seemed to appear in her mind again.

“Phew, I’ve finally taken out the bug. But it’s strange. I didn’t feel uncomfortable when the bug was in my body!”

“However, it still makes me feel disgusted. I can’t accept such a disgusting thing in my body!”

Angelica looked at the bug’s corpse in the jar with disgust and complained.

At this moment, many live stream room viewers were cursing the bug. After all, the bug had brought too much mental pollution to the players.

Finally, as the bug in Angelica’s body was removed by the machine, Morpheus, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

“We’re here.”

Then, Angelica and the others got out of the car and walked into a small building next door.

The building was spacious as if no one lived there on a normal day.

Soon, they arrived upstairs and came to a spacious room.

There was a fireplace, a small table, and two large couches in the room.

Morpheus sat on one of the couches and had Angelica sit opposite him.

However, Morpheus’ following words left Angelica dumbfounded again.

“I’m sure you’ve already noticed that there’s something wrong with this world.”

“And I also know that you’ve always been very curious about what the Matrix is, right?”

After hearing it, Angelica immediately nodded. She then asked Morpheus, “What exactly is the Matrix?”

However, Morpheus still maintained his previous style and didn’t give Angelica the answer directly.

Morpheus then took out a small box from his pocket containing two pills of different colors.

The two pills were red and blue. Morpheus then said with a weird smile.

“I can give you a chance to see the real Matrix. You only have to do one thing, and that is to eat this red pill!”
