"The last sweet dream?" Hao Ren looked at Nolan in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Nolan clasped her hands on her chest, lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen clearly, only a pair of thin lips were slightly pursed: "Actually... I can occasionally hear voices from the 'awake world', I know, though very, very vaguely, that there is a real world out there on this false planet... ”
Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "You never told me this before."
"I didn't know how reliable you were before," Nolan bit his lips, "You can only retain your memory, which doesn't reflect your character and will. And I can only hear some 'voices' occasionally, I Not even sure if they're actually from the 'waking world', except for this latest one, it's clear."
Nolan explained a few more words, and Hao Ren finally understood the situation of the other party. In short: the specialness of this girl is not limited to her ability to retain memories in reincarnation, she is more able to sense the operation of the "simulation program" behind this world.
No wonder she firmly regards the world as a bad stage, and frequently uses "director" and "script" to describe everything she has experienced. This is not only because hundreds of thousands of reincarnations made her feel this way, but also because she really realized the existence of "fabricators".
It's just that her sense of the "awake world" is extremely weak, and it's not even much more reliable than ordinary auditory and visual hallucinations. Occasionally, she could hear or see some scenes that happened in the future, or sense a consciousness beyond human beings whispering in her ears. She was like a child who accidentally opened the curtain while running around on the stage. In a glimpse, she saw the lighting engineer and prop rack behind the curtain, and those short but impressive messages made her realize the unreality of this world.
These occasional encounters with information are very rare, and most of them are accompanied by serious disturbances and trances. If ordinary people encounter them, they will probably directly regard them as hallucinations once or twice, but Nolan has been exposed to them many times, almost every time. During reincarnation, she had to hear or see "miraculous sights" for a few seconds. After accumulating in this way, she firmly believed in the existence of the "awake world" or the "real world".
Nolan was vague when describing those sounds and images. As if he didn't know how to sum up what he saw, Hao Ren had no choice but to guide her: "How does it feel to hear or see those things? Did you see the scene in the real world? Or is it just a part of the subconscious mind?" Kind of… intuition. Makes you think you're seeing something?"
"Probably the latter," Nolan nodded. "Those things are always abstract, and there are no clear pictures or sounds in the aftermath. Sometimes I feel that I see something similar to 'fate', although it is not a specific image. , but directly understand the future direction of this world, and sometimes... "
Nolan frowned. After thinking hard, I knew how to describe that feeling: "It seems that I have changed my perspective, and I feel a consciousness that transcends human beings. It is very vast and complex, and it looks down at all the information in the entire world. I Guess that perspective is the control 'program' of this world."
As she said that, she suddenly looked up at Hao Ren suspiciously: "The questions you asked are very specific, don't you know something?"
Hao Ren waved his hand: "It's not important. I'm very interested in the 'beyond human' perspective you mentioned. Can you still sense it now?"
Nolan shook his head slightly: "I can't sense it anymore. This is beyond my control."
Hao Ren looked into Nolan's eyes: "Then what happened to the 'last sweet dream' you mentioned earlier?"
"That was when this new arena was just launched..."
According to Nolan, she heard the voice of the "fabricator" when the world had just been reset. Although she couldn't understand what the voice was saying with human understanding. But a feeling similar to the infusion of ideas made her understand something. It was a thought flashed by the fabricator when starting the stage: this is probably the last reset of this world.
"I don't know what happened in the real world, but it seems that the cycle of reincarnation is about to end." Nolan's eyes drifted a little, she was used to the continuous reincarnation. But what happened suddenly right now broke her habit, and these things beyond experience made her feel uneasy, "... those fragments of thinking that flooded into my mind can be summed up in only six words: this is the end."
Hao Ren muttered almost to himself: "What will happen after reincarnation ends?"
"I don't know, maybe the world will be peaceful. The current 'script' is the final stage. It would be great if that's the case," Nolan seemed to have a smile on his lips, but the smile was quickly frozen Replace, "Unfortunately, such an idea is probably unrealistic. Maybe the world will end together."
Although I don't want to admit it. But Nolan's second guess is clearly more likely.
At this time, Nolan suddenly looked up at Hao Ren: "I've answered all your questions, can I tell you about you now?"
Hao Ren was about to answer. But I heard the voice of the data terminal coming from the spiritual connection: "Partner! Can you hear me? We're here!"
Hao Ren was overjoyed, and said that the situation finally went smoothly: "Oh, I can hear it very clearly. It seems that the signal is good this time. How is the situation on your side?"
Before the terminal could answer, Lily's voice suddenly interjected: "Don't talk about our situation! You are in a hurry!!"
"What?"
The data terminal took over the communication again: "This machine will send you the external screen."
Almost at the same time as the voice on the terminal fell, a group of images from a third-party perspective appeared in Hao Ren's mind. He saw a brilliant golden-red light covering his entire field of vision with an overwhelming momentum. The flames spread across the earth, the sky was burning with raging fire, and one-third of the horizon had already been ignited by a dazzling arc. Hao Ren was taken aback by this magnificent sight: "What the hell is this?!"
"Zomu! This planet is falling into the sun in the real world! The global fire has been burning for an unknown amount of time, and the crustal structure is slowly disintegrating—it's urgent!"
Hao Ren was stunned for five seconds, and finally squeezed out a few words: "...This is not something a ship can handle..."
Nolan heard him talking to himself and looked over curiously: "What did you say?"
"This world is indeed coming to an end, but it started to collapse from the real world," Hao Ren grabbed Nolan's wrist, "Don't you want to know what I do? Well, believe it or not—I am From the real world, the 'sober' place you speak of."
Nolan stared: "It's no fun to make such a joke all of a sudden."
Hao Ren patted his forehead, and he knew that the other party would react this way, because in this virtual space where everything is possible, he couldn't prove his identity in the real world, and he couldn't even prove that he could contact the real universe outside—his All rhetoric and even actual evidence can be regarded as simulated by this world. That's why he didn't explain the situation to Nolan at first, because he didn't know what to say!
When all your actions and evidence are no more credible than empty words, many things have no value of explanation.
Hao Ren waved to Nolan to calm him down, and at the same time called the data terminal in his mind: "How long do we have?"
"About forty-eight hours. It is not clear where the main body 'server' of the virtual world is. Let's assume that it is deep in the earth's crust, but now Zhuom's shell has been torn apart by the gravity of the sun, no matter how many underground devices it has. Strong, it is impossible to last more than forty-eight hours."
"Damn it!" Hao Ren almost jumped up, "It's too late for what the hell!"
His shout was not only in the spiritual connection, but even blurted out. Nolan couldn't help but look him up and down suspiciously: "What the hell are you..."
"I can't help it. It's an emergency. I'll accompany you." Hao Ren said quickly, and at the same time took out a small communicator from his portable space and stuffed it to Nolan. "This is for you. It's a communicator. Press this button." You can contact me directly. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe that I’m from the real world, but if you hear the voice of the ‘fabricator’ again, or see any movement of the background program in this world, please contact me immediately, understand? If this Any other abnormal phenomena in the world must also be reported!"
After saying this, Hao Ren directly issued an order to wake him up from the hibernation cabin, and his figure disappeared out of nowhere, leaving only Nolan, who was still a little unresponsive, staring blankly at the scene.
After standing there for a long time, Nolan muttered thoughtfully: "Is this person really... gone to the real world?" (To be continued~^~)
