"In the process of designing this maze, a very flattering and confusing method was adopted.
"At every corner and turn, people assume that this is a right angle, a 90-degree corner.
But this is not the case. Every corner is more or less, more or less a little bit angle.
"However, human beings cannot find this by relying on the naked eye and intuitive feeling. They only think that this angle is indeed a right angle.
In addition, the appearance of this maze also played a deceptive role.
"Therefore, the accumulation of small amounts becomes more, the sand becomes a tower, and the person who enters this maze will eventually deviate from the original direction and have no self-knowledge.
In this maze, there are no signs that can indicate the direction, such as stars or trees.
"The sky and the ground, including the surrounding walls, are full of confusing. In other words, if you enter this maze, humans can only rely on their own brains to recognize directions, but human brains are unreliable.
"The various tools invented by human science and technology were also considered when this maze was originally designed and constructed, and they were all shielded.
"In short, people cannot use tools to test the actual experience of the direction and the final effect.
And the human beings who walk into this maze will be lost in it without exception.
"So this creates an illusion that the original intention of this maze has been realized, and it can already trap living things—referring to humans—in it.
"However, this is also a huge, huge omission."
Having said that, Xu Bei stopped for a moment.
He looked at Chen Simiao, and Chen Simiao also looked at him. There was an inexplicable panic in his eyes, as if what Xu Bei said in the next second was going to panic him to death.
And until death, he might be tortured by this kind of fear and madness.
He could never get out of this state anymore, because... Indeed, that was what was used to torture and punish him.
destiny. In his opinion, this may be the punishment imposed on him by fate.
Glory half a lifetime, once fell to the bottom of the valley, the dust added. Everyone spurned him, everybody hated him.
The moment he was selected for this post, his fate seemed to be doomed.
However, Chen Simiao thought silently, that obviously... Obviously, it's not his fault... He just... It's just that he doesn't know people clearly.
He mistakenly believed in a bad guy.
And Xu Bei looked at him, took a deep breath, and continued: "Because, "they" are not like this. The object that this labyrinth wants to imprison is not a human being.
"They" are not the same as human beings. They will not get lost in such a direction, they will not be trapped in such a place. "
Having said this, Xu Beijin paused for a while, and subconsciously looked at Ringo.
Ringo didn't realize why Xu Beijin looked at him, on the contrary, he even showed a puzzled expression.
Xu Bei thought to himself that Ringo was also not lost in this maze, and he still had a sense of direction... No, this actually didn't mean anything. There are countless mysteries in Ringo's body.
Thinking about it, Xu Beijin shook his head slightly at Ringo, indicating that it was nothing, and then he continued: "Moreover, this maze itself left a loophole for "them". "
"What kind of loophole is that?" Ringo asked strangely, "Is that loophole in the right direction?"
"No... The direction is indeed wrong." Xu Beijin said, "However, there will be a deviation of one millimeter. There is an error in the drawing, or there is a slight place under the different arrangement of angles and angles. , There has been a little change artificially.
"This looks like an inadvertent omission, but in fact, as long as you carefully check it, you can find that this omission can be completely avoided if you strictly use mathematical tools to calculate.
"In short, at a certain corner, the angle between the wall and the wall, if built according to the dimensions on the drawing, there will be a deviation of one millimeter, a... gap."
Ringo couldn't help but froze for a moment.
Jia Er said in amazement: "What?!" He took a breath, "This kind of thing... won't it be discovered during construction and acceptance?"
Xu Beijin's mouth was filled with a sneer: "Because, Dr. Chen's student is also a member of the acceptance team. After all... human beings have given them too much trust."
A student of Dr. Chen Simiao. Traitor of mankind.
His name has melted in the long river of years. Maybe it’s because in the end human beings didn’t realize who the problem was in the end.
It may also be because his actions have been so cautious from the beginning.
Just one millimeter.
But this millimeter has turned the so-called "bronze wall and iron wall" built by humans into a toppling brick wall.
In fact, even if he does not betray, humans may not be able to escape this fate.
But he betrayed, which made the whole thing even more ridiculous.
At that time, no one succumbed. Everyone still wanted to fight. Even if it was a desperate, defeated, or even suicidal fight, people did not expect to surrender.
But their most trusted and important central figure betrayed them.
What a terrible and painful experience it was. Nothing has succeeded, and nothing has failed.
They only need one action... one attempt, one effort... and some people are not even willing to work hard and intend to surrender.
And the one who betrayed this traitor and allowed Xu Bei to learn about the existence and identity of this traitor was not even a human being.
Humans don't even know that Dr. Chen's students have done such a thing. Maybe they didn't even know in the end, it turned out that there was still a traitor.
Although, those who experienced the change may have guessed accordingly.
But when things come, it is impossible for them to stand up and point out this point. Humanity has come to an end, and there is no need for more desperate news.
Therefore, it is the enemy of mankind who betrayed him. It is the object he intends to take refuge in.
What do "they" think about this "traitor"
Some kind of contemptuous, indifferent, despite using the information he brought, but still looking down at him high up, and mocking him.
No one would like a soldier who flees. Selfishness is instinct, but selfishness is not glorious.
So in the end, Xu Beijin got this... "loophole" from the enemy of humanity that might let them break the game.
After being surprised for a while, Jia Er thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask realistically: "But, what use is the one-millimeter gap?"
Xu Bei expressed his thoughts carefully and finally said: "Of course it is impossible for a mortal human being. However, some things are different."
something"
Refers to the enemy of mankind? "them"
Until now, Jia Er still didn't understand. He probably knew that humans built this maze to trap something. But what is that "thing"
Can "them" actually pass through a gap of one millimeter
Jia Er felt a little weird.
But at the same time, he has also confirmed that Xu Beijin is indeed a special existence.
He actually knows so many past events, and he also clearly knows how to solve the dilemma at this time.
Then Jia Er couldn't help thinking, why didn't Xu Beijin take any action before
He just stayed all day in the unremarkable little bookstore on the ground floor of the narrow building, as if...
Trapped by something.
This thought popped out of Jia Er's mind.
He thought it might be possible. possible. After all, he knows so much, there must be corresponding constraints.
Chen Simiao, who also knows so many, and the people related to this maze, are already confused and mad...
its not right!
Jia Er suddenly reacted.
The nightmare where this labyrinth is, they have all entered on the higher floors of the narrow building.
They also met a lot of living people in that nightmare, even if those people were played by someone, even if one actor sinks, there are other actors who can stand up...
But what about Chen Simiao
Yes, they had never encountered this Dr. Chen in a nightmare, maybe he had already fallen and no one knew.
What about the master of the nightmare
Who is the owner of this nightmare? He did not perish, so of course this nightmare did not eternally collapse.
But surely he should know a lot of things, right? Why didn't they get more information in this nightmare in the narrow building
Jia Er thought for a while in confusion, and finally asked this question.
And Xu Beijin replied: "The owner of this nightmare, on the contrary, is an onlooker who has nothing to do with this maze. He may know something, such as the maze was built by humans.
However, he did not know what happened. He just witnessed the whole process of the destruction of the maze.
"It's just like those people who died in the spread of madness and the sky fire falling into the world. They don't know anything, but they really saw everything happen again."
Jiaer nodded suddenly.
It turns out that this nightmare is an ordinary person's nightmare. Perhaps because of ordinaryness, he did not go crazy instead.
He only regarded this as his own big dream. A nightmare that happened in reality.
A certain trance and sadness rose in Jia Er's heart. This even made him no time to sigh, Xu Beijin actually knew so many things.
In fact, Xu Beijin was also quite surprised at this time.
This is his nightmare, and he has extremely high authority in this nightmare, which is not wrong.
But the information he revealed was actually banned by NE.
For so many years, he has not been able to reveal any of these things. At the beginning, he was still a little bit ready to move, but that was the moment when he was most shackled by NE.
But now, he was already discouraged, but NE suddenly changed his attitude and even loosened the restrictions on him, allowing him to speak the truth to his mouth.
Xu Bei wondered in a weird mood, is this destiny? It's too playful.
In the end, he just sighed in his heart and ignored this kind of thing for now.
He looked at Chen Simiao and couldn't help frowning, thinking, how can he let this person speak and tell the location of the loophole
Regarding the location of the loophole, he is not completely uncertain, but it is only a rough location.
In addition, the prerequisites for exploiting the bug have not yet been gathered. Instead of looking for it aimlessly, they should first communicate with Dr. Chen who knows the specific location of the bug.
However, this person is really unreasonable.
Jia Er observed Xu Beijin's face and asked, "Why is he unwilling to answer your question? Is it because... I don't believe what you said?"
Xu Bei hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "It might be so."
"Then this is very easy to solve." Jia Er's tone relaxed, "Mu Jiashi has a prop card from Ding Yi..."
He probably explained the usefulness of this item card.
This surprised Xu Bei. He nodded and said, "That's right, let's go find them."
So they left the clearing in the center. Before leaving, Xu Beijin said to Chen Simiao: "Doctor, I hope you realize one thing. The original humanity is over, but now humanity still has a glimmer of life.
"Do you really want human beings to be ruined in your hands again?"
He couldn't help feeling a touch of satisfaction when he saw Chen Simiao's expression stunned.
Of course, he can take the taskers with them to find the loophole in the carpet search, but the time and energy it takes is huge, and they may not have this time. It is also a good thing to be able to ask directly from Chen Simiao.
Is Chen Simiao really not aware of his student's problem
Except Chen Simiao himself, I am afraid that no one can answer this question. In any case, it is an irretrievable past and fact.
Xu Beijin glanced at Chen Simiao one last time, and calmly left here with the other two.
After returning to the original path, they met Mu Jiashi and others.
Mu Jiashi had already searched for the four people on the road on the right, but couldn't find them. He came to the middle road to find Xu Bei to do them, but he didn't expect that the three of Xu Beijin also emerged from another direction.
Before he had time to ask about their situation, Jia Er had already seen Mu Jiashi's cyan hair and was overjoyed: "Great! Come with us! There is someone who needs you to ask a question!"
Mu Jiashi was startled, and was a little confused for a while.
He wasn't in a hurry, so he followed Jia Er, and they exchanged information about each other on the way, so everything was finally right.
Mu Jiashi glanced at Xu Bei, then fell into deep thought.
This loophole... how can it be exploited
He has similar doubts with Grade Two.
In addition, his more doubts are that this gap exists in reality, and will there be in the game
This is just the nightmare of the narrow building, will it really reproduce something that exists in reality as it is
And is it still such a small difference? And even if that gap really exists, how can it help them in their current plight
Can they still escape this maze, this nightmare, and even the entire narrow building through this gap
Mu Jiashi didn't quite understand.
But obviously, this gap is what Xu Beijin needs.
In the cooperation between Mu Jiashi and Xu Beijin, they have an unspoken rule, or a self-explanatory tacit understanding.
Xu Beijin would not interfere with Mu Jiashi's selection of task candidates and his specific actions in the nightmare, and Mu Jiashi would not take the initiative to ask questions that made it difficult for Xu Bei to answer.
They just do their best in their respective tasks.
Xu Beijin needs a group of taskers to help him do something in his nightmare.
It can be said to be a tool man, and Mu Jiashi also agreed. After all, in Xu Beijin's nightmare, he seemed to know the truth.
Now, the truth seems to be in front of them, still holding Pipa half-hidden.
But it's still, it's still so bad... It's still bad, it's a narrow building.
Mankind encountered some strange and incomprehensible alien creatures, and built a maze in an attempt to negotiate with these alien creatures. However, because of the level of human civilization and the appearance of traitors, mankind failed.
Then what
What's the point of these alien creatures, "they", imprisoning humans in narrow buildings
It's really like the game plan that Shen Yunju saw before, just like He Shujun thought, "they" shut humans in narrow buildings just for fun
In addition, where did the contact between humans and alien creatures begin? In the previous two doomsdays, was this group of mysterious alien creatures also the culprit
Mu Jiashi has understood a lot, but there are still many things that he doesn't understand.
In contrast, the so-called "traitor" only made him sigh.
During the conversation, and the subsequent silence, they returned to that area soon after.
Chen Simiao didn't even move, still keeping the posture they had when they left, standing there quietly, with a dazed expression, as if thinking about what was so distressing for him.
Even if these people went and returned, they didn't make him show any expression.
He looked at them indifferently.
Because at this time the item card took effect on Mu Jiashi's body. Therefore, Mu Jiashi walked over, talked to him, and re-said what they were doing now.
They want to save mankind, they need the specific location of that gap. In this way, they can hope to leave the place where they are trapped.
Although Mu Jiashi himself didn't understand how that gap could help them, he didn't change his face like this.
But Chen Simiao remained unmoved.
He shook his head and just said, "I can believe what you said, but... But, I won't say it."
"Why?" Mu Jiashi was surprised. This was the first time he had encountered this kind of...
Ding Yi’s prop card is indeed of great use. The two living people they met before believed their statement and gave a lot of information, but why didn't Chen Simiao react
Fei stood behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It seems that he just doesn't want to face... the truth that his student is indeed a traitor."
Chen Simiao's face twisted, as if he had been electrocuted, his whole body trembled.
He roared and said, "No! I tell you! Impossible! He can't do this kind of thing!"
He seemed to shout every word from his throat, but even so angry, it was hard to hide his desperate nature.
Wu Jian whispered: "Deceive yourself and others."
"If his students tell him personally, he really betrayed humans... I don't know if he will believe it."
Fei said in a subtle sarcasm, but then he paused slightly, "His student..."
Mu Jiashi said in surprise, "Is that traitor the one we met before?"
"But he probably won't be able to come... and he won't necessarily admit..."
Fei said helplessly, but suddenly she thought of another thing, "The devil's mask!"
The item card with extremely twists and turns. That one can be said to have "killed" Sister Jiang's prop card to a certain extent.
Mu Jiashi and Fei Mian looked at each other.
Afterwards, Mu Jiashi recalled: "The mask of the devil... It should be where Shen Yun gathers now."
Jiang Shuangmei and Shen Yunju are relatively familiar, and Shen Yunju was originally recommended by Jiang Shuangmei. Therefore, Mu Jiashi simply handed this item card to Shen Yunju to use.
Of course, after they entered the nightmare of Xu Beijin, they never had the opportunity to use these item cards.
Until then.
Mu Jiashi sighed something in a low voice, and then he said: "We have to find the other taskers and join them."
The rest naturally agree.
But finding companions in such a huge maze is not an easy task.
It is a pity that once Xu Beijin enters these cellular nightmares, it is impossible to leave and return to the gray mist, otherwise he can still see where the taskers are from the perspective of God.
Mu Jiashi didn't want to run into luck, and didn't want to restart this scene.
He thought for a moment, and finally chose to act separately. Work in groups of two and follow different routes to find them.
Of course, Xu Beijin doesn't have to go. For one thing, I still want to keep someone here, and secondly, Xu Beijin's face still doesn't look good.
In this way, the groupings became Mu Jiashi and Goddess, Feihe Wujian, Ringo and Jiaer.
They will look in different directions and will return here in thirty minutes.
Because Mujiashi had already understood the problem of the direction in the maze, they used the front road at the entrance of the maze as a benchmark and asked the taskers to ignore anything related to the direction and only remember how to return to the front road.
After the order was completed, they set off separately.
Mu Jiashi looked at the goddess around him, somehow confident.
He suddenly felt that bringing the goddess into this nightmare was an absolutely correct choice.
However, if Xu Beijin was asked to say, it might be faster to count on Ringo's intuition. At least Ringo's intuition has never been wrong, but the words of the goddess are always indistinguishable.
Of course, Ringo was still saying goodbye to Xu Bei in a slimy manner.
Xu Bei couldn't laugh or cry: "Just leave for thirty minutes."
But Ringo looked serious: "You have to pay attention to your safety! Pay attention to your body! I don't want you to stand still when I come back."
Xu Bei was silent for a moment, and then thought to himself, that anyone could stand unsteadily
He stared at Ringo for a moment, and finally patted Ringo's shoulder helplessly and amusingly, "Believe me, there won't be a problem."
Ringo wanted to say something, but finally gave up. He gave Xu Beijin a light hug, with very light strength, as if Xu Beijin was so fragile that he would shatter when he tried hard.
Ringo whispered in his ear, "Don't worry me, Beijin."
Ringo has always been like this, and when he said this, he was expressionless, as if he was particularly angry.
But he didn't dare to get angry with Xu Bei. Therefore, I can only say something "hard".
Xu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I understand..."
All the taskers left, so Xu Beijin and Chen Simiao were the only ones left in this clearing.
Those walls that kept changing colors made Xu Beijin's eyes a little bit painful. He looked up into the sky for a while, then closed his eyes to refresh himself.
Finally, he asked Chen Simiao: "You believe that we are trying to save mankind. But you don't believe that we can succeed, right?"
Chen Simiao still seemed to be in a daze. He was silent for a long time, as if he hadn't heard Xu Beijin's words, but in the end, he said slowly: "Yes. I never believed that anyone could deal with..."them". "
Xu Beijin twitched the corners of his mouth almost mockingly.
He thought, this is essentially the same for teachers and students.
Things can never be successful after just thinking about it. indeed so. However, things are never going to fail after just thinking about it.
They need hope because...
"If I can do it..." Xu Beijin said softly, as if mumbling to himself.
He is very weak now, and he feels that he is likely to pass in a coma at any time.
His head hurts very much, but this kind of pain is like a shadow, and has been with him for a long, long time.
And he still didn't give up.
His gaze was fixed on Chen Simiao's body, sharp and firm, an unstoppable aura that his weak and pale appearance could not hide. He asked: "What if I can do it?"
