Opening his eyes, he turned his head and looked at Li Changyu.
Although this guy has basically stepped into the coffin lid with one foot, this old two-dimensional person is quite open-minded, taking life and death lightly, and will do anything if he doesn't accept it.
During the period when his life was about to come to an end, he was doing something very meaningful... trying hard to strike up a conversation with the girl sitting on the bench.
But it was obvious that the girl didn't seem to hear what he said at all. She was completely indifferent and just sat there quietly holding her guitar.
"Okay, let me ask you a question."
Reaching out and pressing his forehead slightly, Bai Zhi asked helplessly.
"When you went to other Kaidan spaces, did the Kaidans in other Kaidan spaces actively attack you?"
"That big octopus?"
He looked away from the girl with a look of annoyance. After thinking for a moment, Li Changyu opened his mouth and answered.
"... He shouldn't have taken the initiative to attack me, right? It was when I went up to help later that those tentacles launched an attack on me. Before that, they had been attacking Fat Ci with all their might. But Fat Ci was very lucky, and he deserves to have the aura of the protagonist. A man who almost killed that big octopus just by luck, but unfortunately... what, is there any problem?"
"Are you willing to take a gamble?"
Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, not intending to answer the other party's words. Instead, Bai Zhi opened his mouth and asked him a question.
"Betting? What are you betting on?"
Li Changyu looked slightly confused.
"The [Frozen Ice Cream] has three minutes of effect left. After the effect time expires, judging from the serious injuries you suffered, you won't even be able to survive for two minutes."
After glancing at the wound on the opponent's neck that Yuan Que had bandaged up to prevent his head from falling off, Bai Zhi spoke calmly.
"But now you have a chance to bet. If you lose the bet, you will naturally die. But if you win the bet, you will get the right to continue living. But here is the problem. Do you dare to bet? ?"
"If I don't gamble, I will definitely die. If I gamble, I still have a chance of survival... This should be a good choice to make, right?"
Spreading his hands, Li Changyu looked unconcerned.
"No need to be dumb, just tell me directly, what do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple. I want you to be killed by those weird stories without any resistance."
-Someone calmly said words that others would never be calm about.
As he said these words, except for the girl sitting quietly on the bench, the expressions of Yanhuo Fengyue, Yuan Que, and Li Changyu suddenly changed.
"… Why?"
After a moment of silence, Li Changyu asked.
"It's very simple, because I suspect that the exit from this closed loop is this. After the players are killed by Kaitan, they can exit this closed loop."
Bai Zhi stretched out a finger in front of him.
"Remember, you are killed by Kaitan, not by the player. If you are killed by the player, you are really dead. So that so-and-so Fatty was actually the first person to escape from this closed loop. He was lucky not to He was killed by that [Gelena] instead of Kaitan, and instead escaped from here by some strange combination of circumstances... He is indeed a man with the aura of the protagonist."
"What's the reason?"
Li Changyu had a look of pain on his face.
"Is it just based on this reason? It is inferred because of the title [Protagonist Halo] held by Fat Ci? His corpse is still placed in that castle."
"You don't have much time left. I do have enough reasons, but are you sure you want to spend your precious time staying and listening to this?"
Bai Zhi glanced at the other party.
"And I have already said that this is a gamble. The winner lives and the loser dies. There is never anything foolproof. But according to my reasoning, the chance of winning this time is more than 70%. You can make your own choice. .”
Bai Zhi yawned slightly tiredly, put his hands on the railing of the bench behind him, and raised his head to look at the sky.
"There is still one minute left before [Frozen Ice Cream] expires, and you still have a chance to make a choice. Being killed by a player means real death, and being killed by a ghost story still has a chance of survival... With these two options, you make your own decision. Come on, don’t blame me if you die.”
"No, you want me to feed the monsters because of your disagreement. We didn't know each other very well before... Can you give me some reassurance?"
Looking at the person in front of him who had begun to close his eyes and meditate, Li Changyu couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
"Although I do seem to be dying soon, at least..."
"The system of Shenyin cannot die and is always trying to kill us... I think those strange stories that cannot be killed are due to the intervention of the power of the system."
Interrupting the other party's words, Bai Zhi spoke calmly.
"So, is this inference a reassurance for you?"
"...Aque, I have something to ask you."
After a moment of silence, Li Changyu turned to look at Yuan Que, who was frowning and thinking, and spoke to him solemnly.
"You know the address of where I live. If I really die, please take my computer and the figures in my room... and completely destroy them all."
"please!!!"
Yuan Que: "..."
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 483 Chapter 476 The Truth of the Closed Loop, Bai Zhi’s Inference
In the seaside square, it is natural that there are also strange stories.
So soon, Li Changyu set out on the road with peace of mind, walking quite peacefully... Well, in fact, he died miserably.
It was so miserable that Yuan Que didn't know how to collect the other party's body...
"...So we must die once too?"
Looking away from there, the corners of Yanhuo Fengyun's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"He was killed by a systematic weird story, not a simple death. Please clarify this first."
Bai Zhi curled his lips and spoke.
"If you think about it from this point of view, I know how the 0% chance of survival came about."
"Wait a minute, if that's the case, wouldn't it mean that the weaker the player, the more likely he is to clear this dungeon?"
After being stunned for a moment, Yanhuo Fengyue asked with some confusion.
"After all, the stronger the players, the less likely they are to be killed by those weak monsters. They will only be trapped in this endless closed loop until their sanity drops to a dangerous critical point and they die... This copy is so targeted at us Of?"
"So, when it comes to those endless weird stories, strength is not the first factor. Also, who told you that if they go out, they will have cleared the dungeon?"
Bai Zhi slightly looked speechless as he glanced at the fireworks in front of him like he was looking at a fool.
"The real danger is outside the closed loop. Strong players cannot break the closed loop. Even if weak players are lucky enough to get out of the closed loop, the situation outside is not something those players can handle... This That’s why the survival rate of this copy is 0%.”
Bai Zhi tapped his forehead with his hand and spoke.
"Unless you have the invincible strength that can absolutely crush the monsters, such as directly breaking the void with one hand, physically carrying the black hole, etc., otherwise in the face of these monsters, the most important thing for us players is to still rely on our own brains."
"How is this inference formed?"
Walking from the edge of the square, Yuan Que, who was spattered with blood, wiped his body with a towel and asked with a slightly complicated expression.
"How do those strange stories have anything to do with the system?"
"Bold guess, careful verification... We entered this dungeon through the power of the system to conquer this dungeon, right?"
Slightly shrugging, Bai Zhi sat up a little straighter.
"But from the very beginning, the system was completely hidden. All of our players had their memories sealed and were divided into ten ghost stories spaces. Do you all know these things?"
"That's right, so what?"
Yuan Que sat down on the ground.
"At the same time, every ghost story is immortal, and has a strong murderous intention towards us players... What does this prove? Isn't this the case for all ghost stories?"
"Real humans live in a false world. In a false world, is everything you see really real?"
Bai Zhi curled his lips and looked noncommittal.
"First of all, the system cannot be stable for no reason. It must exist somewhere. Weird stories cannot affect the system, but they can affect us."
"No wonder? I mean the guy who copied me, how could he copy all my equipment, skills, even my title and ID, two things that are absolutely impossible to copy..."
Yanhuo Fengyue on the side suddenly looked enlightened.
"If that weird story itself is the incarnation of the system, it wouldn't be surprising if it could do this."
"At the same time, there is another point. Didn't you realize that we are here and use our real names before we recover our memories?"
Bai Zhi stretched out a finger in front of himself.
"Kaitan cannot affect the system, and the system cannot disappear for no reason. Therefore, the system itself has been reminding us in some way. Our real names are like this, and the same goes for the unkillable Kaitan."
"Uh... is it possible that the strange story we encountered is actually like this?"
Yuan Que had a tangled look on his face.
"After all, what you just said is just reasoning..."
"Yes, it is indeed possible as you mentioned, but the possibility is very small."
Bai Zhi interrupted the other party's words calmly.
"I have never said that my reasoning is 100% correct. After all, ghost stories are never logical. I just bet on a probability. To paraphrase a certain person's famous saying, as long as the probability of everything exceeds 50%, It’s worth the gamble.”
"...So you haven't been sure yet?"
"I've never said such a thing, okay? I just asked him if he would like to take a gamble. Don't slander me."
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi leaned back against the railing of the bench again.
"Besides, don't you think there are some things that are redundant? Our sealed memories are trapped here. Without the stimulation of ghost stories and the sound of that piece of music, our memories when we were players would be restored so easily. come over?"
"...So it's unnecessary?"
What Bai Zhi said was a bit convoluted, and it took Yanhuo Fengyue a long time to reluctantly understand the meaning.
"That's right, the emergence of ghost stories is completely superfluous. Instead, it will stimulate the recovery of our players' memories. In these ghost stories spaces, our players' own sanity is constantly being reduced, so it is necessary to deliberately create an immortal ghost story. Come and let us restore our memories?”
Putting the back of his right hand on his forehead to block the sun, Bai Zhi squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the sky.
"Rather than superfluous and harassing us with so many ghost stories about immortality, it is better to remove all these things and let us slowly lose our sanity as time wears away in the world built by false memories. This way It can obviously kill us more conveniently and quickly, so why bother adding superfluous information and creating a weird story that basically can’t kill us and can’t be killed by us?”
"Well… …"
After spending a lot of time thinking about it, Yuan Que, Yan Huo Fengyue and the others had to admit that what Bai Zhi said was indeed very reasonable.
"So, to sum up, the inference that there is a close connection between those immortal ghost stories and the system is more than 70% correct."
After yawning, Bai Zhi lazily summarized what he had said before.
"If this inference is correct, then it will be good to continue to infer it. If those immortal ghost stories are equivalent to the system, then what on earth will the system that has been hidden from the beginning use those immortal ghost stories to do? ?”
"It's simple, kill us and get us out of the closed loop."
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 484 Chapter 477 Everyone’s Choice
For some things, the truth is actually this truth
Nothing is ever foolproof. Those who say it is foolproof are basically planting flags for themselves.
Bai Zhi could not guarantee that his inference was foolproof, but he could guarantee that the possibility of his inference was more than 70%, and this alone was enough.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Tong and the others came to the square again together with the West Pavilion Master.
It's a pity that [Gelina] was not caught. Among these ten ghost story spaces, some scenes are still large enough for her to hide.
"...volunteer to die?"
After listening to Bai Zhi's explanation about his inferences, the West Pavilion Master was obviously stunned.
"Yes, this is the way I deduced to leave this closed loop, otherwise we will be trapped here until our sanity is exhausted."
Bai Zhi yawned and nodded.
"I have just said all the specific reasons for the inference. Do you have any questions?"
"You can't rule that out, can you?"
Glancing towards the edge of the square, Li Tong looked suspicious.
"There are many different rules of Kaidan. How can you rule out that Kaidan will not have this "unnecessary" rule?"
"I never said I could rule it out. I said it was just speculation."
