Reaching out and touching his chin, Bai Zhi sighed with some regret.
"Take it one step at a time. I will try my best to avoid fighting. The current situation is too unfavorable for us. How come you are blind when you are so good?"
"..."
Giving up on the idea of correcting the misunderstandings in the other party's words, the deceased zero turned his head expressionlessly.
"I'm really sorry for holding you back. How is the situation now?"
"Well... this is a world of dolls, because everyone in the world has turned into dolls. Like the previous [Alienation Curse], the so-called [Doll Curse] probably originated from this."
Bai Zhi glanced down and nodded.
"All in all, this is another Big Mac, because it turns a planet into a doll... Generally speaking, it is unremarkable. It is much better than the previous world, but it is also a world that has been eroded by ghost stories. A world that has perished.”
"The world of dolls...another world of destruction..."
"It's a pity that those are just fleeting scenes, and there is no way to observe them for a long time. If I can observe them carefully at close range, maybe I can find more things."
Bai Zhi shook his head.
"There is no need to be too curious about this kind of thing. We are not able to explore these yet. Let's protect our own world first. Everything our world faces has just begun... The long night is coming. "
"..."
The girl did not make any reply to Bai Zhi's words, and Bai Zhi also never spoke again. Instead, he looked at the scenery below and around him in a trance. Others may have some concerns, but he has no inhibitions. .
For a moment, there was silence everywhere.
A green strip of light flowed slowly from their feet, as if it would never stop.
After an unknown amount of time, under Bai Zhi's gaze, the surrounding scenery finally began to change slightly, and they were falling rapidly towards a place full of light.
"This is the most dangerous place in the core area. If you want to completely end this strange story by killing Anna, you need to take a lot of risks... Listen to my command clearly, and you will do whatever I tell you later. "
Reaching out to hold the other person's hand, Bai Zhi simply said this and then raised his feet and stepped down the steps in front of him.
As if they were specially there to welcome them, the steps made of white light were lined up all the way to the bottom. Bai Zhi counted them in his mind, there were 249 steps in total from top to bottom.
When they walked down to the ground, the steps behind them turned into countless light spots and scattered in the air. When they looked back, where could they still see the endless black void before
"… where is this place?"
Feeling the warm sunshine shining on his body and the fragrance of green grass and wild flowers in his nose, the deceased Zero suddenly asked.
"here?"
Bai Zhi raised his head and looked forward, smiling slightly.
The regular road paved with bluestones went forward. In front of them was a beautiful castle under the blue sky. A blond lolita in a white princess dress was happily chasing flying butterflies in the courtyard, accompanied by There was a maid with a smile on her face, and at the entrance of the castle, a couple who were obviously a couple were standing there smiling and looking towards the courtyard.
"This is a dreamland that is far from reality no matter how you look at it, but at the same time it is extremely "beautiful" and "precious"..."
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 293 Chapter 289 Self, Id, Superego
It was like a dream, I was still very moved when I woke up.
"...Dream?"
The deceased Ling failed to understand the meaning of Bai Zhi's words.
"Yes, in this copy, or in this strange story called Rose Manor, Anna constructed a total of three dreams for herself."
While holding the other person's hand and walking forward, Bai Zhi spoke calmly.
"The psychoanalyst Freud once proposed such a conclusion, namely psychodynamic theory. In this theory, he divided the human spirit into three parts: the id, the ego, and the superego... "
The warm sunshine shone warmly on them, and the surroundings were filled with the fragrance of green grass and wild flowers, and among them was the crisp laughter that filled the air.
"The id is innate and the basis of the personality structure. In the future, the self and the superego will develop based on the id. The id is located at the bottom of the personality structure and is composed of innate instincts, desires, and so on. An energy system composed of various physiological needs.”
As he spoke, Bai Zhi looked at the little blond girl who was happily chasing butterflies in the garden.
Although they were walking in the middle of the garden at the moment, those people seemed to have not seen them at all. They were immersed in their own world and refused anyone to enter their world. Everything in front of them was like a dynamic picture. The image is visible but intangible.
"The self is the psychological component of personality. It is gradually differentiated from the id and is located in the middle layer of the personality structure. Its main function is to adjust the contradiction between the id and the superego. On the one hand, it regulates the id and the superego. I, on the other hand, am controlled by the superego.”
Stopping for a moment, Bai Zhi looked at the little girl chasing the butterfly in front of him and breathed out a breath. Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky.
"As for the superego, it is the regulator in the personality structure. It is governed by the principle of perfection and belongs to the moral part of the personality structure. It is located at the highest level of the personality structure and is the moralized self. It is governed by social norms, ethics, and values. Internalized, its formation is the result of socialization... This is the so-called theory of ego, id, and superego."
"The puppet master Anna in the castle at the beginning corresponds to the superego, the princess Anna imprisoned in the castle corresponds to the ego, and the happy and smiling Anna now corresponds to the so-called id. ?”
As she followed Bai Zhi's lead and walked forward in the darkness, she tilted her head slightly, with a thoughtful look on her face.
"In a sense, puppet master Anna can indeed be regarded as..."
"Oh no, I was just talking nonsense."
While leading the other person through the path among the flowers, Bai Zhi interrupted the other person's words with a calm expression.
Dead Zero: "???"
"After all, there are exactly three dreams here, so I just found a theory that may fit this. If it is four dreams, I will continue to come up with other theories, so there is no need to go overboard on this kind of thing. In-depth investigation... Oh, by the way, the investigator is most likely dead, or turned into a doll."
Reaching out to remove a bunch of branches blocking his face, Bai Zhi spoke.
"This copy is divided into three levels of dreams. In the first level of dreams, Anna abides by the rules and stays alone in the castle with the ragdoll cat. In the second level of dreams, Anna is obeyed. According to the rules, infinite reincarnations are carried out on that day with one day as the limit again and again. Even if a player changes the result of that day, everything will start again the next day, and it will never happen again. There will be an end. In the third layer of dreams, Anna is the happiest, because here she can live a carefree life with parents and friends who love her most. She is completely immersed in the dream she has built for herself. In a perfect world, she also refuses anyone to enter her world... As long as she lives happily, who cares that it is just a dream?"
"But the good things in life are ultimately just falsehoods."
After a moment of silence, the deceased Zero spoke.
"Yes, no matter how beautiful those things are, they are just false things imagined... But so what?"
With a slight smile, Bai Zhi reached out and pushed open the door in front of him, then walked inside.
"As long as she lives a real life, even if everything she sees is false, so what? Since she has been undergoing endless torture in the first and second levels of dreams, she cannot be allowed to live in the third level of dreams. Do you want to live the life you want?"
"... That's not life, it's just deception."
"Who cares?"
"..."
As Bai Zhi and the deceased Zero stepped into the castle together, Bai Zhi closed the door. As the door closed, all the laughter and laughter behind him were immediately cut off from the castle.
What appeared in front of Bai Zhi after that was an extremely simple blank scene.
This scene is endless and I don’t know how big it is. You can’t see the end of it at a glance. Everything inside seems to have been assimilated by the pure pale color. In the center of this blank scene, there is a crystal coffin. The coffin There was a small figure lying vaguely among them.
"I didn't expect you guys to be able to get here."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in this space.
When Bai Zhi turned his head, he saw a young man standing there about 100 meters away to his right, seemingly waiting for their arrival.
"Why, was it difficult to walk here?"
Looking at the other party's figure, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he held the hand of the girl next to him.
"It seems that you know a lot about this place... Why, have you been here before? Or is this copy itself from some strange story in your world?"
"The difficulty is still a little bit. After all, you have to survive that kind of riot first, and then cross the void passage to get here. These two items alone are enough to wipe out more than 99% of the personnel, and what makes me the most What's curious is that you seem to be unscathed..."
With that faint smile still on her face, Yue Yue smiled and spoke.
"You've been hiding all this time and you're still showing such ease... You must be one of the top combat powers in the world, right?"
"Yes, yes, I am very strong, so do you want to surrender quickly?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi's words contained a sense of speechlessness.
"Now that we've reached this point, there's no need for this kind of temptation, right?"
"Really... Frankly speaking, I have some doubts about the function of this [Combat Power Detector] taken from someone else."
With a slight sigh, Yue Yue casually threw something similar to a single-sided lens on the ground.
"Obviously your combat power is the lowest, and your level seems to be around level ten at most, but you have been able to survive all the way to the end..."
"Haven't you heard a sentence? That sentence may answer your question."
Bai Zhi curled his lips.
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
March clan looked a little curious.
"Good people don't live long, but evil stays for thousands of years."
"..."
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 294 Chapter 290 Between Mountains, Seas, Heaven and Earth
Blank world.
After listening to Bai Zhi's words, the March family was slightly stunned for a moment, and then started laughing again.
"That's right, good people don't live long, and disasters stay for thousands of years. Those who survive are not good people. I completely agree with your point of view. Maybe we can become friends."
"So, what do you want to say?"
Looking at the March family not far away in front of him, Bai Zhi slightly raised his eyebrows.
"Looking at your appearance, you probably don't want to help us completely conquer this dungeon, right?"
"Why not? Don't think too badly of us. After all, we are all human beings."
March Shi sighed slightly in his mouth.
"I admit that maybe some players from another world really want to destroy things, but I am different from them."
"Different? What's the difference?"
Bai Zhi turned his attention to the crystal coffin in the center of the blank world.
"You've made so many plans and plans, don't you just want to kill us?"
"Killing and being killed is a normal thing."
March's face was calm.
"Do you know what players in other worlds like us need most? Enough material, a guarantee for survival. In my world, there is an entire gathering of people waiting for me to go back and save them. For those who are still waiting for me to return, what does it mean to have blood on my hands?"
"You have people you want to save, and we also have a world we want to protect."
Before Bai Zhi could reply, Xun Sheng turned in the direction of Yue Yue, and the deceased Ling spoke coldly.
"Since we are destined to be unable to coexist, let's let our strength speak for itself."
"If you are blind, don't speak out to show off."
She glanced at the deceased Ling with a sideways glance, and the March family had a look of regret on her face.
"Although you said that he was fine for some unknown reason, your words were still affected. It's not just your eyes. You should have a splitting headache now, right? It's like you want to smash your head with a hammer... You now , how much combat effectiveness can it still maintain?"
"...I'm not blind."
After a moment of silence, the deceased Ling clenched the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand and spoke coldly.
"There is no need to continue..."
"That's right!! So what if you're blind? For a being from another world like you, do you know what the highest secret of swordsmanship is!?"
Before the deceased Ling could finish her words, Bai Zhi interrupted her without hesitation. He folded his hands and sneered.
"Listen with your ears and cut with your heart!! The sword cuts the body and the heart cuts the soul!! This is the ultimate state of sword skills!!"
"The sword cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul..."
After thinking for a moment, March nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, for a strong swordsman who has reached this level, the impact on his eyesight is already minimal."
"And besides, who said blind eyes are useless!?"
Bai Zhi held his hands and snorted coldly, a look of arrogance on his face.
"Let me tell you, for a strong swordsman like her, even if she is blind and cannot see things, there are still other things that can be used as substitutes. After her long-term training, she can already use her farts... It hurts, what's wrong with you?"
Turning his head to look at the girl next to him who was twisting his arm behind his back with one hand and a frosty expression on his face, Bai Zhi grinned.
"You... are not allowed to talk nonsense!!"
