There are some things that he needs to clear up in his mind before talking about them.
It's not surprising that the player himself would be contaminated and assimilated in such a chaotic world, but the one with the real problem might be who it is... Forget it, let's wait until she takes a shower.
Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi reached out and pulled out the key card. Bai Zhi turned around and walked out of the door.
And coincidentally, just after he closed the door, the trash can placed in the corner suddenly started to tremble...
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 492 Chapter 485 The So-called "Ordinary World"
The time came to ten o'clock in the evening quietly.
The rain outside was getting harder and harder, and there was a soft tapping sound on the windows.
When Bai Zhi returned to Room 8602, the air conditioner in the room was turned on and the curtains were drawn to block out the deep rain outside.
"The world itself is polluted, and it is sliding towards the deepest darkness all the time. The later you come out, the more dangerous it is."
Her braids were spread out, and three thousand black hair hung down on the back of her head. Facing Bai Zhi's question, the girl calmly spoke.
"The outside world is deteriorating all the time. Only here in the hotel can it be regarded as a temporary safe place."
"Is that why you left the hotel all the way to remind them?"
Sitting on the bed, Yanhuo Fengyue curled her lips.
"If they believed us, they would have left long ago. Why are they still wandering around there?"
-The girl had no intention of talking to him.
"...Doraemon, can you help us analyze the current situation?"
The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, recalling the fireworks set by the other party. Fengyue turned her head and saw Bai Zhi sitting on the bed on the other side.
"There's something wrong with Fatty."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi replied.
Because there were bloodstains all over his body, a certain fat man went to take a shower at this time. Considering that he might have some alienation factors on his body, the other party took the initiative to move to his room by holding on to the wall... A player with attributes far beyond human beings Resilience is generally amazing.
He has the two room cards of 8601 in his hand, so he is not afraid that an old two-dimensional person will come back, or Bai Zhi hopes that the other person will come back.
Yanhuo Fengyue and the others had no intention of going back to their rooms. Instead, they huddled together on another bed. At this moment, four players were gathered in room 8602.
"There is indeed a problem. After all, there are so many eyes on the body. Indeed, this can be regarded as a sign of being assimilated into this world."
Holding hands, Yanhuo Fengyue nodded solemnly.
"It seems we have to be careful in the future..."
"Didn't you notice? There is a loophole in what he said before."
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi interrupted the other party's words.
"I suspect that both of them have been assimilated by this polluted world, but Li Changyu has been assimilated to a lesser degree... Probably because as long as the player exists in this world, he will inevitably be assimilated."
"Loophole? What loophole?"
Putting down the hotel guide in her hand, Chang Xi asked curiously.
"I sound like I'm okay?"
"He said before that Li Changyu basically never said a word to him, right?"
Bai Zhi glanced towards the next door and curled his lips.
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
Chang Xi looked confused.
"If that's the case, how does he know that the real dream world is a closed loop?"
"Well… "
"If the degree of alienation in the body is regarded as the degree of assimilation into the world, then it is obvious that his degree of assimilation is obviously higher than that of Li Changyu."
Lying on the folded quilt with one hand on his head, Bai Zhi spoke calmly while thinking in his mind.
"So far, I haven't figured out the extent of the world's influence on them, nor have I figured out what the purpose of being assimilated is. I still need to get more information from him... So be careful and don’t reveal your secrets.”
"That's right, so we have to treat them as fallen players."
Yanhuo Fengyue nodded seriously.
"I didn't expect you to see the flaw so quickly. Sure enough... why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
"… nothing."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi sat up from the bed.
"Let me sum it up. The world is on the verge of destruction, and the common sense and logic of human beings living in this world have been distorted, but they themselves have no self-consciousness... Wait, maybe it's not that they are unconscious, but in fact the world The human spirit is living in a real dream world."
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Bai Zhi snapped his fingers.
"Human beings in this world live mentally in the real dream world, but the bodies they control are active in the real world... I don't need to say more about how real the so-called real dream world is, right?"
"Hmm...brain-in-a-vat theory?"
After thinking for a moment, Chang Xi made a figure-eight gesture on his hand.
"The two are completely different... As you can imagine, this is a disaster that suddenly strikes the entire world. But this disaster has no impact on ordinary people in this world. They still live in their own ordinary world. Among them, but for the players in this world, the constantly declining sanity value reminds them of the anomalies in the world, and at the same time brings them to the edge of destruction."
After glancing at Chang Xi, Bai Zhi continued to speak.
"Ordinary people in this world live in what they think is an ordinary world, but in the real world, it has been alienated to a very serious degree, and inexplicable terror is eating away at the world bit by bit. …”
Thinking of Noah's Ark where he couldn't even escape, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Perhaps it was like this at the beginning. Everyone in this world was involved in the real dream, and even the world itself was deceived. At the beginning, the players staying in it might not be sane either. It will decrease. The world inside is the same as the world outside. The pollution and encroachment start slowly, just like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time the players react, it is already too late, and the world itself is on the verge of destruction... Just like that, the world Totally hopeless."
"So you know again..."
Putting his discouraged hands on his legs to support his chin, Yanhuo Fengyue whispered something in his mouth.
Comparing one person to another can make a person angry to death.
So how long has it been... and you can deduce the causes and consequences of the destruction of the world by following the clues all the way? Have you even deduced the reason why all the players in this world were wiped out
… The three days have just begun, okay! !
"Let's put it this way, the minds of ordinary people in this world live in the real dream world, but they live in the body outside invisibly. Because the outside itself has been quite polluted, order and chaos intersect. They are so complex that they form the absurd world we see now.”
Ignoring the thoughts in someone's mouth, Bai Zhi spread his hands and made a summary of what he had said before.
"In our eyes, those eyeballs or fingers and teeth that are used as currency are actually normal currencies for ordinary people living in the world of real dreams. The mutation of the body? For those ordinary people As far as humans are concerned, there are obviously no changes. No matter how their external bodies become, it will not affect their ability to live in the real dream world... Do you understand?"
"Hmm... I don't understand at all."
After thinking for a moment, Chang Xi shook his head decisively.
"What on earth were you talking about just now? World background?"
"Isn't it a world background or something?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi lay back on the bed.
"The two players who came out before us were physically alienated for some inexplicable reason, and their minds were probably also distorted and affected to some extent. We cannot say that we simply regard them as fallen players, it should be said that they are similar to them. Cursed."
"What about the others? How can this world avoid the danger of the body being alienated?"
With a hint of dissatisfaction at being ignored, Yanhuo Fengyue asked.
"Also, what are we going to do about Fatty and Two-Yuan? Just leave them alone?"
"There are no clues, what do you want me to use to deduce?"
Bai Zhi curled his lips, put the back of his hand on his forehead, and answered lazily.
"Just adapt to circumstances. After all, three days have not even passed on the first day. Why are you anxious?"
Fireworks and Fengyue: "..."
Depending on the time they left the closed loop, the tasks they received also changed slightly, such as the option of survival time.
-They survived for three days, and according to what he said, Fatty survived for four days.
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 493 Chapter 486 Mutation
It is the details that determine success, and the pattern that determines failure.
Although according to the rules, two people share a room, for safety reasons, the five players finally chose to gather together.
In those horror movies, the protagonist team often separates because they have to commit suicide, which leads to the ending of the group being destroyed... just like a certain Akatsuki organization who never fights in groups.
With five people crammed into one room, it will inevitably seem a bit crowded, but we treat the situation very seriously in emergencies, so there is no need to worry about such trivial matters.
It was impossible to sleep, and no one could sleep peacefully in this situation. After some discussion, everyone still chose the night vigil system, that is, at least two people must stay vigil at night.
Regarding how to deal with an obviously problematic fat person, everyone also had a tacit understanding that it was better to put it in the open than in the dark. Bai Zhi also wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
... To what extent does this polluted world itself affect players
One night passed so quietly and peacefully.
Apart from the strange noises coming from next door, the tapping on the windows behind the curtains, and the strange noises coming from the door... the whole night was peaceful.
Soon, the next day comes.
The West Pavilion Masters, Li Tong, Yuan Que and others arrived at the hotel at eight o'clock in the morning and met with them.
However, with their arrival, they also brought bad news. The situation outside the hotel had undergone quite strange changes.
It was as if the consciousness that dominated the body had been taken away. Like puppets, the humans lost all their vitality and fell softly. This strange situation was spreading rapidly like a virus. .
On their way to the hotel, Master Xige and the others were almost thrown into the sky by several cars that veered off course because their drivers fell down.
Although the original external environment seemed absurd and bizarre, it still contained the so-called order. However, with the extreme spread of this weird phenomenon, order disappeared.
Some people fell to the ground while walking. The bus driver was driving and then his head hung down. The bus crashed through the bridge and fell into the river. The chef was burning oil in front of the oil pan and then fell headlong into the river. Got the oil pan…
Car accidents, explosions, serial rear-end collisions, and the whole city was filled with flames. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call the scene in front of us the end of the world.
And those humans who are still acting are deaf to everything happening around them.
Half of his body was smashed by a car, and he was still talking on the phone with a smile on his face. He walked into the blazing fire without noticing anything and was burned into coke. He didn't even bother to look at the road. The things he lost from the ground were The face of the conscious person steps on…
If the world had maintained the most bizarre order before, now it was a completely out-of-order order, like the end of the world.
The heavy rain last night has stopped, but the sky is still gloomy, and the city is full of explosions and flames.
The establishment of order takes a long time, but the destruction of order only takes a moment.
"Did something happen in the real dream world?"
Standing at the door of the hotel, looking at the apocalyptic scene outside, there was a sense of unbearability in Yanhuo Fengyue's words.
If the background of this world is really what someone said last night, then this kind of out-of-control performance is obviously a problem in the "ordinary world" where ordinary people live.
"Who knows? The world itself is already on the verge of destruction. Now it is just on the road to destruction. We can't help it."
Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi glanced at the front desk manager standing at the front desk of the hotel.
The other party was not affected by the external situation for the time being, and still stood behind the counter honestly, perfectly interpreting the concept of tool man.
However, judging from the current situation, it will probably not be long before the entire human race in the world will fall into a state of silence. Those humans whose spirits exist in the real dream world, if you think about it carefully, the end will probably not be much better. …
"Okay, don't be idle, hurry up."
Shaking his head to drive away those complicated thoughts from his mind, Bai Zhi turned his head and spoke to the others.
"If this situation continues, we need to be prepared for a power outage in the hotel. We should take advantage of this time to go out and collect more supplies and come back... Also, be careful with [Gelina]."
[Master of the West Pavilion] They did not catch the madwoman in the closed-loop world, and as long as the other party is not stupid, they can easily deduce the conditions for leaving there based on the corpse they left in the closed-loop world. .
The other party is a big hidden danger, but it is not a problem.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it started to rain again.
After nearly a day of chaos, the entire city finally became quiet. Corpses were strewn on the streets, and the flames caused by a large series of rear-end collisions were quietly extinguished in the heavy rain.
There is no intention of power outage yet, but as a precautionary measure, they have also prepared a large number of items to be used in the event of a power outage at night.
The wall between 8602 and 8603 was smashed open by Li Tong and the West Pavilion Master with hammers, and the layout of the room was also sorted out accordingly.
Under the premise that everyone except their players fell down, no one jumped out to condemn them for such a thing.
