Arcade of Death

Chapter 389: The cruel truth

Views:

Yi Xuan walked forward two steps stunned. He looked at the scene in the huge space in front of him, and his heart was ups and downs. It was only at this moment that he felt personally that the world he was in was indeed A game world.

It may feel strange to say that, after all, Yi Xuan has already known the fact that he is in the game world, but it may be because the characters and environment of this game are too real. Yi Xuan has been traveling in this world for a long time. At that time, there is a feeling of being in the real world, as if you have come from the earth to another planet. Although there are some differences, the feeling that this world gives you is real. But at this moment, this sense of substitution was completely shattered by the scene in front of him.

Because the bizarre world he saw in front of him can only be explained by the term game. Yi Xuan's eyes are a grass field the size of a football field, on which there is a very beautiful manor, and the front of the manor is green. There is a clear river wading between the grasslands. A few beautiful sheep on the grassland are grazing on the grass. Their bodies are round and their hair is white and delicate. A little further away, a shepherd is holding his own. Little Whip walked on the edge of the grass, with three question marks displayed on his head, which seemed to be an unnamed NPC.

The sky is full of white clouds, a quiet and peaceful picture, but the picture stops abruptly on the edge of the grass. The edge of the grass is like being cut by a knife. It is neatly brushed, even his sky. It's also very neat, and it stretches out into the sky more than ten meters high. The grass is like a piece in a huge puzzle. The neatness is a bit strange. Outside such a huge square is other strange environments. Puzzle world.

There seems to be no concept of plane and three-dimensional in the bottomless abyss. These puzzles are scattered between the sky and the earth, some floating in the sky, and some flattened on the ground. Yi Xuan feels standing in this huge broken world. He was so small, and his heart became empty.

Walking through this grassland, Yi Xuan saw a castle. The area of this castle was much larger than the grassland just now, but only half of it was cut straight. He walked around the castle and found The cut was very smooth, exposing the material of the rock, as if it had been cut by a laser.

He continued to walk forward. On the other side of the castle was a river full of magma. Then there were some strange fragments. They were only tens of meters or a few meters in size. They were all NPCs or fragments of various game maps. , It seems that this place is completely abandoned, filled with scraps of the game map.

In these puzzles, you can occasionally see some people or animals, but these people obviously do not have any wisdom. They are like robots, doing what they should do mechanically, such as the shepherd is shepherding the sheep. , Soldiers are standing guard, and some farmers are harvesting crops. They are blind to the weird sights around them, just doing their own thing mechanically, and the names on their heads are also strange, most of them are unknown targets or a few question marks. , Some have some names, some only have half of the names, and some don’t even have a name. They all seem to be unfinished car products. He walked through these puzzles, and his heart was full of exclamation, and he had to eat the cat. The fish said that the discovery here was amazing, and now even himself was shocked.

The more he moved forward, Yi Xuan became more frightened, because an unclear idea gradually emerged in his mind. The existence of these things in front of him was definitely not accidental. He could probably guess what this place was. , This place is a kind of place similar to a recycle bin. The things here seem to be scenes in the game. The discarded data may be discarded during the production process, or it may be discarded during the game process. Data, such as those dungeons that you had raided, would the original map and monster data be abandoned here after being refreshed

With this thought, Yi Xuan continued to walk forward, hoping to see a little bit of clues from these fragments. I don't know how many fragments there are. They fill the entire seemingly infinite space of the bottomless abyss, looking up towards the sky. , Even the sky is piece by piece, some sky is dark red, some sky is blue, some sky is emerald green, it looks very colorful and weird, above all the sky, it is The endless darkness does not know where it leads.

Yi Xuan continued to move forward, except for those fragments with no chronological background, some useful things finally began to appear. The buildings in a fragment looked very strange, and there were things like spore plants on top of them. A small mushroom-like house with some cute little animals inside. Yi Xuan approached a little bit. Those little things ran away. Although they didn’t see the facial features and limbs clearly, they probably looked like a round shape. It seems that there should be characters in a certain children's game.

Yi Xuan can be sure that it is impossible for him to have this style of architecture in the world he is in. If that is the case, does it mean that these data are not just from the game he is in

As I was thinking about it, there was a "hula" in the sky, and another huge fragment fell down, and Yi Xuan subconsciously flashed to one side, but fortunately, the place where the fragment fell was far away from him. It caused any danger to him, because there was a fragment under the falling point, so the fragment that just fell slowly floated in the air. Yi Xuan walked towards the fragment and soon came to the puzzle piece. Below, there is no absolute ground in the space here. As long as Yi Xuan changes direction, he can walk vertically or diagonally.

Yi Xuan came to the front of the fragment in a few steps and saw clearly that it was an abandoned factory. There was a huge tank on the ground in front of the factory, which looked a bit like a Tiger tank from World War II, except for the front half of the car. It is greatly elongated, like melted syrup, which makes people look a little awkward.

Immediately afterwards, several tanks or armored vehicles fell from the sky. They looked more or less flawed. They seemed to be discarded data from a certain World War II game, which made Yi Xuan more certain. Thoughts in mind. But then a bolder assumption came into Yi Xuan's mind.

If the magical world with the ancient background, or the weird little mushroom just now can be described by coincidence, then the various technological inventions during World War II cannot be explained by coincidence. If these games are all produced by the same company, then It’s unlikely that the creator of the game I’m in now was made by aliens, because aliens really don’t need to make so many games based on the earth’s environment, but if it’s not an alien. , Could it be that... Yi Xuan didn’t dare to think further. He ran off where the tank was and continued to run forward. He wanted to find something that could support his thoughts, but at the same time, he also hoped that he would find it in the end. It was another truth, after all, what I was thinking in my mind was too hard to accept.

Yi Xuan rushed forward while quickly scanning the fragments. Abruptly, Yi Xuan stopped and stared in horror at the two severely damaged buildings in front of him. If he reads it correctly , These two very similar buildings should be the Twin Towers in the United States. In his world, these two buildings were destroyed by planes hijacked by terrorists. If the building in front of us is real, then Yi Xuan is most worried about it. I am afraid that the situation has really come true.

Yi Xuan walked into the debris in a daze. The people beside him were all dressed in exquisite suits. They looked like ordinary men and women in the office building. They looked up at the top of the bombed building, some of them weeping bitterly. Some people concealed their faces and exclaimed that this real scene seemed to be a recurrence of a live report in the news, but at this time Yi Xuan felt his back cold.

Yi Xuan withdrew from that piece of debris and continued to move forward. The surrounding scene became more and more messy. In addition to the ancient magical world he used in the game, there were all kinds of messy fragments, including World War II. The modern style of the First World War, there are also ancient realistic styles, and even some things that look exactly the same as the common scenes in his real life. The more he walks away, the more shocked he is, and the terrible conjectures in his heart are gradually implemented.

"Hi, is anyone here?" Suddenly, a woman's shout came from a distance.

Yi Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. There were people, and there were people in this place. After entering this strange space, he heard human shouts for the first time. Although the shouts were made in English, It was completely different from the voice he heard in Alas Continent, making him feel more cordial immediately.

In the continent of Alas, what he said seemed to be Chinese, but he clearly realized that it was not Chinese, but a language that he could not even speak. It was just that he didn’t know why he was born to speak it, but this At that time, what he heard was the English spoken by the real earthlings.

"Here, I am here." When he participated in the World Fighting Championships, he spent some time in the United States, so he still speaks a lot of English, so Yi Xuan immediately responded enthusiastically, shouting while turning to the voice. Ran in the direction of, and ran closer and closer, passing through one after another jigsaw puzzle and fragments, he saw a woman in a pilot costume standing on a hillside in a puzzle piece, staring at him dumbfounded, seemingly even that The woman herself didn't expect her call to be answered, but Yi Xuan's enthusiastic running and his strange armor obviously made the woman very panicked.

The woman didn't know where she suddenly took out a pistol and pointed it at Yi Xuan, "Stop, you stop it for me." Yi Xuan was taken aback when he saw the pistol, and he looked at the woman strangely.

The woman in front of her looked like a typical American, with blond hair and blue eyes, about thirty or forty years old, wearing an old-fashioned aviator costume, looking at herself with a look that was intertwined with horror and stubbornness.

"Who are you?" the woman asked, "Where is this place? Why am I here?"

The woman asked a series of questions, her expression looked very excited.

"Calm down, ma'am, I think we need to sit down and speak slowly." Yi Xuan stretched out his hands and said that he had no malice or weapons, and said in a sincere tone. In fact, for Yi Xuan, he doesn't need any weapons either. , His body is a powerful offensive weapon.

As Yi Xuan walked in, the woman seemed to have seen his appearance clearly, she looked a little surprised, "You are Asian? But why are you dressed like this?" After speaking, she shook herself again. Shaking his head, "Forget it, you don't need to explain to me, it looks weird everywhere here, hello, my name is Amelia Earhart." The woman asked after introducing herself: "You are again Who?"

"My name is Yi Xuan." Yi Xuan said honestly, it seems that the woman has given up her guard against herself. But suddenly his eyelids twitched, as if grasping something important: "Wait a minute, what did you just say your name?"

"Amelia? Earhart, what's the matter?" the woman asked calmly.

Amelia Earhart, Yi Xuan repeated the name, the feeling in my heart just now disappeared suddenly, but I felt that the name sounded a bit familiar, as if I heard it or saw it somewhere, but Sometimes memory is like this. The more you try to remember, the farther and farther away you are. Yi Xuan tried hard to think about it, but didn't remember that he knew such a person. I had to smile awkwardly: "It's nothing, let's find a place to sit down and talk."

Anyway, there was a lot of venues around, and the two of them sat down on a fragment of grass. The sun was shining around them and the birds were chirping, but Yi Xuan's heart couldn't relax. He took a deep breath. I calmed down and tried not to think about my horrible conjecture, and then said politely: "First of all, I want to say that I don’t know exactly what this place is, but if you can tell me you are How come here, maybe I can analyze something." Yi Xuan said cautiously.

He looked at this woman carefully, and felt an unspeakable intimacy towards her. This feeling did not stem from the emotions between men and women, but from the feelings of the same kind. In the continent of Alas, Yi Xuan always felt that he was a stranger. Whether those NPCs or players, they were always different from his own heart. Among them, there was an indescribable sense of loneliness. This feeling can only be compared with Zhao Beifeng or Yang Kai and Mary slowed down when they were together, because Yi Xuan knew that they were independent, thoughtful, real people just like himself.

And now this woman gave himself this feeling, this woman is too real, and the real seems to be colleagues and friends that he can meet everywhere on the earth, even though he thinks this kind of thinking is very ridiculous, since he has entered this world, It proves that she is already obsolete data. Even if she was not obsolete, she was just an NPC. In this data-constituted world, he can only be an NPC.

The woman didn’t have as many thoughts as Yi Xuan had in her mind at this time. She thought for a while and said, “My name is Amelia Earhart, an American. When I was flying a plane across the Pacific Ocean, I was suddenly in front of me. Entering a thick fog, I saw a black square hole, and then I didn't know what happened, so I came here."

Hearing what the other party said, Yi Xuan's heart suddenly jumped. He finally remembered, remembering what the origin of this woman was. He had heard of this woman's deeds when he was reading a book before.

Amelia Earhart, an American born in 1897, is a famous American female pilot and feminist activist. Earhart was the first female pilot to receive the Cross Flight Medal of Honor. A female pilot who flew across the Atlantic alone, she also set many records. The book she wrote about her flight experience was very popular. She helped establish an organization of female pilots. In 1937, when she tried to fly around the world for the first time in the world Sometimes, mysteriously disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Yi Xuan had watched a movie before, which clearly introduced the woman’s life experience, but the Chinese pronunciation that I saw at that time did not pronounce the name so well, so I asked him for a moment. Can't remember it anymore.

But because of this, he always felt a little familiar, until the other party said that she had come into this world by accident while flying over the Pacific, Yi Xuan's memory flowed out like the gate opened.

At the same time, there was a flash of light and flint in Yi Xuan's mind, and the terrible idea just hit his mind again. If the woman in front of me is the legendary female pilot, then my previous guess is very likely to be realized. .

Because it is impossible for people in reality to run into the game world, you must know that reality is made up of real matter, and games are made up of data, unless...

Yi Xuan's mind suddenly remembered the letter Zhao Beifeng had given him. He still remembered the sentence "The truth of reality is more cruel than imagined>. Now it seems that this is the cruel reality Zhao Beifeng said. , The so-called real world that Yi Xuan and the others are in is actually made up of data.

Just now when Yi Xuan found out that the game he was in was made by a human being on earth, he was already very strange. The earth he was on did not have such advanced technology. He was still wondering if it was actually a U.S. country. It's so powerful, with this kind of advanced technology, but he quickly rejected his idea. If it is a U.S. native, with such an advanced game experience, wouldn't they quickly promote it to make money? But I have never heard of this technology. Then Yi Xuan saw the twin towers that gave him a heavy blow. If there is a game that also designed the bombed twin towers, can you think so? , In fact, there is a game world that overlaps with your own world? In other words, is the world in which you live is simply a game world

When this idea first came out, Yi Xuan was shocked, but at the beginning he felt it was very absurd, but soon, this idea became more and more deeply rooted in his mind.

Because if this hypothesis is true, many problems that have plagued him before will be solved. The magical game hall, the ability to load in reality, the magical card that can summon creatures, everything, even this strange game. The world, the so-called second floor, seems less mysterious in this explanation. Since the world you are in is a game, the data between the two can naturally be communicated and used in the so-called real world. What's the big deal about game skills, and Mary’s realization can only be explained by this point. You must know that Mary is a character in the virtual world, but she can be summoned in the real world and at the same time Summoned in the game world, if she is composed of data, then the only explanation for her to switch between reality and virtual world is that reality is also virtual.

The appearance of Earhart and what she said just now seemed to be the last straw that overwhelmed the camel. What Yi Xuan could not fully confirm before, after her talk, finally got favorable evidence, in Yi Xuan's mind. Yi Xuan suddenly felt a moment of emptiness in his heart, and he suddenly piled up on the grass. If there was no armor support, maybe he would just lie down. Yi Xuan's mind was at the time of loading at this moment. I was at a loss.

"What's wrong with you?" Earhart felt the changes before and after Yi Xuan, and asked worriedly.

Yi Xuan swallowed his saliva and tried to straighten his body. He couldn't fall down in front of a woman, so he forced his spirits and gave a wry smile: "It's nothing. I just figured out some things."

He glanced at Earhart. This legendary female pilot truly appeared in front of him at this time. Whether she is a real person or a piece of data, her life experience is very admirable. Perhaps, she should Tell her the truth.

"Do you really want to know how you got here?" Yi Xuan said. "I can tell you, but you better be mentally prepared!"
