After a short rest, Nanzhou is ready to continue the game.
There is not much time left for them.
And they still have two doors to go through.
Since the door with eyes peeping in the keyhole is still firmly blocked, there is actually only one door left that they can enter.
The moment the door was pushed inwards, a damp, salty and cool sea breeze was blowing through the door.
The fishy smell that belonged to the ocean was no trivial matter, causing Li Yinhang to churn in his stomach for a while with what he had just eaten before barely holding on to his position.
The scenes of the game were gradually refreshed and laid out in front of them one by one.
They are in the center of the ocean, deeply embraced by the boundless ocean and isolated from everything.
Each of the three stood on a rock.
There are four reefs in total, forming a rectangle with each other, and the distance is almost equal, about fifteen meters away.
So they can't touch each other.
In addition to them, there is a reef.
There was a fourth person sitting on it besides them.
It was a young, young girl with seaweed-like long hair that fell straight down to her waist, and her expression was tender at a glance.
Her eyes are particularly beautiful, like a whole sea of blue condensed into her eyes.
Her lower body was submerged in the sea, but it was not a pair of legs, but a fish tail about one and a half meters long.
The end of the fish tail is crystal clear, like the bride's drag gauze, floating and sinking like silk in the sea water.
Because the moonlight is just right, there is a lighthouse in the distance. Under the double light, the skin of the little mermaid is snow-white and almost transparent.
She put her hands on the rocks behind her, looked at the three players, and said softly: "... Hello, players."
The figure in front of her was so clear that none of the three asked who she was.
Like Little Red Riding Hood, it is an old classic story that does not require popular science.
The only question now is which functional block in the brain this door represents.
Nan Zhou stroked the shape of the rock he was on with his fingertips.
The dark reef stands in the middle of the sea, and it is riddled with finely corrosive seawater.
But its outline is quite clear.
It is in the shape of a seahorse.
...is it the hippocampus.
Memory storage point
The moonlight like silver snow descended one after another, casting a moving shadow on Nan Zhou's long eyelashes because of thinking.
The sea breeze was still cool at night.
A gust of wind blew past, causing Li Yinhang to shiver.
Seemingly aware of Li Yinhang's recoil, the little mermaid raised her beautiful fish tail and patted the sea lightly, causing a circle of water splashes.
The sea breeze stopped immediately.
The water was as transparent as a piece of emerald crystal, like a representation of Eden printed on a postcard.
Li Yinhang lowered his head and saw a cluster of sparks lit up not far from the soles of his feet, which was roughly the size of her feet.
At first, she thought it was a luminous fish like an angler.
But when she gave her a concentrated look, her scalp exploded.
—It was an open fish eye.
Fortunately, the nameless giant fish just passed by and glanced at her lightly, not interested in her.
It turned over silkily and silently, dived deeper into the abyss, and disappeared.
At the same time when Li Yinhang's goosebumps exploded, the little mermaid spoke again gently.
Unlike all the NCs they met before, the little mermaid's temperament is more like a melancholy girl who loves literature and art.
In such a level, it's like running on the wrong set.
"Welcome to the sea of memory," she said.
"The sea taught me that memory is what a person is all about," she said.
"This sea area is my home, and every piece of foam in it is a memory left by the player."
"After dawn, I will also turn into foam." The little mermaid said, "So, before dawn, I want to play a game with you."
… very open and honest.
Sure enough, here is the hippocampus associated with memory.
After a brief explanation, she dropped a drift bottle in the water.
The paper in the drift bottle is rolled into a paper tube, and the waist is tied with a thin colored thread.
No one knew what was written on the note.
The glass bottle was held by Hyperion, floating and sinking.
The bottle kept spinning, and under the moonlight, it reflected a charming and beautiful light.
The little mermaid continued to explain: "The waves of the waves are random, and the problems are also random."
"When the waves stop and the bottle is still, whoever the direction of the bottle's mouth is pointing at will be the answerer of this round."
"This game is to ask players to give answers based on the questions in the bottle."
"Don't worry, these questions are confirmed by Sea of Memory after reading and analyzing you and confirming that you can answer them. Therefore, answers such as 'I don't know', 'I don't know much', and 'No' are all wrong. Compliant wrong answer."
"Whether the answer is correct or not, the Sea of Memory will make a fair judgment."
"Please give honest answers based on your memory."
… Drumming to pass flowers, plus truth games
Li Yinhang was relieved.
Is this too simplistic
After experiencing the three copies of the stepmother in the painted skin, the big bad wolf who does not reveal his true face from beginning to end, and the brothers and sisters in the candy house who can't even say their own wishes, the little mermaid's unpretentious attitude, and books. Like the tin soldiers in the pavilion, there is a sense of comfort.
And, presumably due to the influence of the Sea of Memory, she was even more honest than the Tin Soldier.
"However, games also have penalties," she said.
"The verdict of the Sea of Memory can't be wrong."
"So, if you violate the principle of honesty, do not follow the memory to give the correct answer, or think beyond the fifteen-minute answer limit, then it will be regarded as a failure to answer."
"As punishment, a part of the body of the wrong answerer will be replaced with an equal and proportional puppet."
"When answering incorrectly more than five times, the player becomes part of a sea of memories."
"I'm sorry, but the rules say so."
Nan Zhou's ears were listening to the little mermaid, but his eyes were looking at the isolated island with a lighthouse not far away.
At first glance, the island is dark and dark, with undulating arcs, like a floating corpse of a villain lying quietly on the water.
But it's not an island there.
… that is a pedestal made of bodies.
The dense wood sculptures standing upright in the water like meerkats, guarding the lighthouse,
It won't be easy, he thought.
There are a lot of players here.
Jiang Fang had the same idea as him.
Even if he didn't see the lighthouse island filled with the corpses of countless players, his natural vigilance would never allow him to take it lightly.
As for Li Yinhang, although she thought the game was simple, as a person who has experienced at least compulsory education, she understands that those who can give "15 minutes" to answer questions are usually the finale questions.
Therefore, none of the three were wary of lowering the game.
Because the rules of the game are too simple and clear, and there is no need to make redundant explanations, the mermaid as the game host announced the official start of the game.
After recovering the drifting bottle used for the demonstration, a large piece of drifting bottle, like a fish affected by the tide, swayed and gathered around the little mermaid.
She picked one out of countless bottles and threw it to the center of the reef matrix.
The bottle is surrounded by the tide, one rises and one falls, and rises and falls.
In the end, the mouth of the bottle was aimed directly at Li Yinhang.
She became the first person to eat crabs.
She had a numbness in the back of her spine, and she was instantly cautious.
Seeing that the small fish in the drift bottle floated toward him and finally stopped in front of the reef, Li Yinhang picked it up, uncorked the bottle, and unfolded the paper.
The question on paper is: What is the name of your best gay friend in real life? "
Li Yinhang asked the question carefully: "Does this same-sex friend refer to an intimate relationship beyond the scope? For example, relatives, lovers?"
The little mermaid answered patiently: "'friend' refers to the definition of an ordinary and ordinary friend in your value system. If it refers to other relationships, it will be referred to by other terms."
Nan Zhou frowned slightly when he heard this.
This definition puzzled him.
Since we are all friends, can we not involve "intimacy"
But now it is Li Yinhang who is answering. He doesn't want his words to interfere with her thinking and judgment.
Li Yinhang seriously thought about it.
In addition to winning the grand prize and entering "Gravity", her life is quite ordinary.
She has a lot of friends, but most of them are ordinary. They can occasionally get together to drink a cup of milk tea and watch a few movies together.
There is nothing unforgettable, and there is no life and death test, so overall, it is just "ordinary".
Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang are both of the opposite sex, and they are not within the scope of answering the question. Otherwise, she would have the cheek to count Nan Zhou.
… even if Nan Zhou just treats her as a teammate.
After a short thought, Li Yinhang gave the answer.
"Chejie."
This is her colleague and her roommate who unfortunately disappeared when the mass disappearance broke out.
The two of them were originally college classmates and lived next to each other. After graduation, they entered the same unit and lived together for two years. They had a good relationship and occasionally quarreled.
All in all, it is the relationship that the other party is sick and will go to the hospital overnight.
In contrast, Che Jie should be her best friend after adulthood.
Hearing Li Yinhang's answer, the little mermaid's scale-covered ears moved slightly, as if listening to the ocean's instructions.
After a while, she reluctantly and softly spit out a word: "No."
Li Yinhang couldn't understand for a while, so he was stunned: "... ah?"
"...No." The little mermaid said firmly, "She's not your best friend."
Li Yinhang was stunned for a moment, and a chill went straight to the sky: "…Why not?"
"This is not my judgment. It is the judgment of the Sea of Memory."
The little mermaid's voice is soft,
After a while, she gave the ocean's feedback: "Your best friend is Xia Yushi."
Li Yinhang: "...?"
It took her a while to recall who Xia Yushi was.
It was her classmate who lived in a dormitory for a year with her in her second year of high school.
Because two roommates in her original dormitory applied for day study, Li Yinhang moved to a new dormitory.
At the beginning, she didn't know about Miss Xia, and she didn't understand why several other roommates ignored Miss Xia.
Just moved into the dormitory, Li Yinhang chatted warmly with Miss Xia, who was hiding alone.
Li Yinhang didn't know that Miss Xia suffered from a serious mental illness because of family problems.
She is moody. When she is good, she is very good. When she has a bad temper, she can smash the glass in the dormitory and cry to commit suicide, and she is very dependent on people.
She immediately attached to Li Yinhang who showed her favor.
After getting along with her this year, Li Yinhang was tired and worried that once he broke up with her, she would be unable to think about it, exhausted, and almost depressed.
Later, because her condition was too serious, the school went through the suspension procedures for her.
After her school leave, Miss Xia still persevered and wrote to her frequently.
This situation did not improve until Li Yinhang went to study abroad.
The little mermaid said: "According to the hormones you secrete when you get along with her, the emotional value you pay, and other factors, after a comprehensive evaluation of the scores, the sea of memory said that she is your best friend."
Li Yinhang also wanted to argue: "But..."
"Your memory will deceive you," said the little mermaid, "but the sea of memory will not."
Before he finished speaking, Li Yinhang felt his legs go to pieces.
She looked down in panic, and saw that part of her calf had stopped moving.
With intense panic, she covered her hands.
The tentacle is the icy texture of a puppet.
- Memory is a strange thing.
- It can't be seen or touched, it will beautify some things you want to remember, and it will dilute some things you want to forget deliberately.
In the end, what appeared in my mind was just the illusion of chaos.
And they have to look for the truth in the illusion that they have formed in their minds and which they believe without a doubt.
… even if this truth is a stack of various objective, emotion-independent data.
Game continues.
New drift bottles enter the reef matrix.
After shaking and floating for a while, the mouth of the bottle was aimed at Nanzhou.
Nan Zhou calmly picked up the drift bottle, unpacked it, and launched a group questionnaire.
The question above is: "What's the happiest thing you and your same-sex friend have ever done together?" :,
