After the boss took Mu Ke away, Mu Sicheng had been awakened.
He leaned lazily on the back of Bai Liu’s chair, and the coat Bai Liu gave him on his shoulder was placed on his hand by Mu Sicheng. Originally, Mu Sicheng strongly prevented Bai Liu from participating in the game, but he soon discovered Bai Liu’s. The guy's determination to participate in the competition is firm. Considering Bai Liu's usual style, Mu Sicheng feels that Bai Liu's heart for participating in the competition is not something he can easily shake.
Mu Sicheng watched with cold eyes as Bai Liu flicked Mu Ke onto the thief boat. He fell asleep unhurriedly, because after he realized that he could not easily shake Bai Liu's thoughts, all Mu Sicheng could do was tell Bai Liu seriously that he didn't. Will play foolish with Bai Liu to participate in this extremely dangerous league.
However, the coat that Bai Liu gave him made Mu Sicheng's voice softened a lot: "Why, did you fool that little beauty onto your thief ship?"
"Your name is Mu Ke Little Beauty, are you gay?" Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng, "Muke is sexual and attractive to you?"
Mu Sicheng was choked in an instant: "I am a straight man!! Don't you understand me kidding?!"
Bai Liu nodded casually: "I understand now, depending on your appearance, do you have something to tell me?"
Before Mu Sicheng spoke, Bai Liu found a bench and sat on the opposite side of Mu Sicheng.
Bai Liu sat very casually, but he involuntarily brought a sense of oppression to Mu Sicheng, making Mu Sicheng never lazy in Bai Liu's chair like a bone, to the point he couldn't help but sit up straight.
Bai Liu faintly looked directly at Mu Sicheng: "I guess you want to tell me that you will never participate in this e-sports with us."
"Can you give me a reason to convince me?" Bai Liu leaned back on the desk and tapped on the desk with his fingers, "Why are you not willing to participate in this e-sports league?"
"The mortality rate is high, the risk is high, the number of people is uneven, and the number of copies is not enough." Bai Liu said several questions one after another, he raised his eyes to Mu Sicheng, "All these can be given to me, you just need to be responsible for participating. , Do you have any other concerns?"
Mu Sicheng almost laughed at Bai Liu's calm and relaxed appearance.
If he was the one before a copy, he might have been fooled by Bai Liu's all these things in his grasp, but now Mu Sicheng is no longer the original Mu Sicheng. After a copy, Mu Sicheng has a little bit clear about Bai Liu's. The character of the goods is changed-that is, it is not good for gambling.
Even if the success rate is very low, as long as the income is high enough, Bai Liu dare to try.
"These are the main issues I'm worried about." Mu Sicheng rarely had a serious tone. "Bai Liu, the league is really not a joke. The player death rate is very high. You don't need to give up your real life for this game, although this game does. You can bring a lot of things. With your strength, you can earn points slowly. This is more secure. In addition to games, you always have to make some retreat for real life..."
"Really real life?" Bai Liu repeated this sentence in a soft voice. He waited unhurriedly for Mu Sicheng to persuade him to finish his words, and then asked irrelevantly: "You have a question about Mu Ke. So look at that single player game of round clearance?"
Mu Sicheng was startled. He didn't expect Bai Liu to mention this suddenly, but Bai Liu did talk about it with Mu Ke just now. Mu Sicheng was too sleepy at the time, but he listened.
The last round of Muke's clearance game is called "The Day of Leaving School", a single player game with a Japanese-style campus background.
The content of the game is not the place that attracts the attention of Mu Sicheng the most. The point that Mu Sicheng is even more attracted to is—
-Mu Ke said that the school inside had a prototype. It was a private high school where he had studied in Japan. He had been haunted by a girl who committed suicide by jumping from a building. Many students died intermittently afterwards.
In addition to him, the dormitory where Mu Ke was all died in all sorts of bizarre ways. This is also an important reason why Mu Ke confuses the game with reality and brings injuries—the high school in the game and his study. The high school background settings are exactly the same.
This is very similar to what Bai Liu and the others experienced-the prototype of "The Last Train of Burst" was the last train of the explosion that Bai Liu had accidentally hit and got on.
Mu Sicheng was silent for two seconds: "I don't think it's so coincidental. Two games in a row have prototypes in reality."
"Yes, I think so too."
"So I personally feel that there are three possible statements that can explain this." Bai Liu pulled out a piece of paper from his desk.
Bai Liu is used to recording when he has ideas, especially when Bai Liu now confirms that their memories can be tampered with at will to deceive people.
Because the text of specific information will be [forbidden] disappear, Bai Liu only refined some simple keywords and wrote them down. After he wrote it down, he held the paper with his five fingers and turned it around, showing Mu Sicheng across the desk, Bai Liu The tone of explanation is very steady:
"I tend to have real prototype events in many games in this game. It’s just that some people know the prototype and some people don’t know the prototype. For example, you and I both know the prototype of the Mirror City bombing case because we are all in Mirror City, but Obviously Zhang Puppet doesn't know. Another example is the haunted Japanese high school mentioned by Mu Ke. He knows, but neither you nor I know."
"But the question is, how did the game choose the reality [prototype] of these design games?"
Bai Liu wrote a [Scene Selection] on the paper:
"The first possibility is that the game randomly selects real-life scene events as prototypes to design horror games, but from the mirror city bombing case and the haunted Japanese high school, the selection of the game obviously has a certain tendency. It will select The game was originally designed with terrifying tragedies, so this possibility is not high, pass."
Bai Liu wrote "source of inspiration" on the paper again, and continued:
"The second possibility is that the game will select the tragedies and supernatural locations that the player has experienced as prototypes to design the game. You and I know that the game can delete the memory of the person. Is it possible that the game can also read the memory of the player? And draw inspiration from the player’s memory, and use the player’s memory as a reference to structure the game."
"This allows players to easily bring into the horror game to a certain extent, and the scene is more realistic. For example, the train scene setting in the last few minutes of the second copy is exactly the same as in my memory. This makes people confused between reality and Reality of illusion is actually very difficult to achieve."
Mu Sicheng thought about holding his arms, and tapped his index finger on the arm of the other hand: "I think the second possibility you mentioned is more reasonable in deduction. I prefer this one, then What about the third possibility you mentioned?"
"No, but there is a very big loophole in this possibility, that is, the logic of the timeline is wrong." Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked directly at Mu Sicheng, "Do you remember when the "Blasting Last Train" we played existed? ?"
Mu Sicheng was startled, he recalled: "It seems that it's been a long time, right? I'm right there when I went in."
Bai Liu calmly reminded Mu Sicheng: "But the Mirror City bombing happened this year. This shows that the game "The Last Train of Burst" was earlier than the "Mirror City bombing." The prototype game already exists, Mu Sicheng, do you know what this means?"
Mu Sicheng's expression began to change. He seemed to realize something, and slowly looked at Bai Liu, who continued to speak lukewarm:
"This shows that we have mistaken the reference prototype. It's not that "The Last Train of Burst" refers to the "Last Train of Mirror City"." Bai Liu continued smoothly. game."
After saying this, Bai Liu wrote down the four words [Test Phase] on the paper.
Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu’s unwavering eyes. He seemed to be pouring his head down by a basin of ice water. He stared stiffly at the four words Bai Liu had written on the paper. The cold air waved from behind. After coming out, Mu Sicheng's hands trembled a little, as if being shocked to the extreme. He understood what Bai Liu meant, but it also made him look at the words written by Bai Liu on the paper on the desktop, and he couldn't believe it. Writing: "How is this possible?!"
To use an in-game term to describe Mu Sicheng's current state is that his mental value has fallen below the safety line.
Bai Liu said calmly: "When every game is developed to the end, there will be a version called a public beta version. Simply put, it is facing partial public testing and will not be open to all players."
"If we are satisfied with the reaction of this part of the players in a certain copy, we will put this copy of the game in the official game, and open this copy of the game to everyone, which is the final official version of the game."
Bai Liu opened his eyes: "The third possibility I guess is that the game and the reality we are in are the public beta and the official version of a game."
"The game is testing the reaction of selected local players to a certain copy. If the [system] is satisfied with our performance in this copy of the game, the corresponding game will be placed in the reality where we are and open to everyone. , Becomes the official version."
"For example, "The Last Train of Burst" was put into reality, it was "Mirror City Bombing", and "The Day of School Leaving" was put into reality, it was the Japanese high school that Mu Ke had attended before. In general, it was just the same style. There are two different forms of horror games."
"In other words." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng's eyes without any emotions, "Our world is not safe, and the official version of those horror games in the system will be released at any time."
"If this is the case, the meaning of the real life you are pursuing, Mu Sicheng, is in itself the same as surviving in a game, so I don't think you need to refuse a race for your so-called real life."
"Because the reality you are in is nothing more than a game competition that you can't see."
