"Report from personnel involved in the experiment..."
"The first experiment: 999---27---01, officially begins."
"First experiment: 999---27---01, perfect ending."
"The second experiment: 999---27---02, officially begins."
"Second experiment..."
"The second battle to capture the unknown truth has officially begun..."
On the display board, information flashed by one after another. Gu Moli read through it quickly. It took him a while to come back to his senses and look up at Aisia again.
"Is there anything you want to ask? To show our sincerity, I will answer you everything I can."
"... .The second capture battle with unknown truth, what does it mean?"
Where there are two, there is one.
"I'm sorry, but with my authority, I can't tell you the full information."
"But some simple messages are fine."
"You are not the first person with super powers from outer space."
"... snort."
Gu Moli didn't expect to get a definite answer, and immediately changed the subject: "From the report, these are all based on the abnormal worldview you constructed in the deep consciousness you mentioned, right? Why do you have to do this? This is very awkward."
“Nothing difficult to understand.”
"Because we are not sure what kind of abilities you have, this is the lesson we learned in the first capture battle where the truth was unknown. So we would rather use code words that cater to the world view than directly expose the truth because there is a possibility that you will find out."
"You can put the report in the real world right?"
“This is your misunderstanding.”
Aisia shook her head when she heard this. "During the experiment, all the people involved, including me, were in your deep consciousness. No one could draft a report in the real world. Our consciousness connection technology is not yet that advanced."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. In fact, only after the researchers leave your subconscious mind can we bring the reports out of the virtual world and then translate them in the real world. During this period, we cannot contact the real world, and in order to avoid stimulating your subconscious mind, the real world will not contact us either."
“… … .”
Very convincing explanation.
But Gu Moli didn't believe it.
Because there is a fatal flaw in this explanation.
Virtual world
Real world
According to Aisia, she first traveled to another world, and then was put into a coma by the Empire. Then the Empire used consciousness link technology to make her wake up in an abnormal cell in the virtual world as an experimental subject. Then, in this virtual world, she had another consciousness link, which made her possess an artificial human body, and then she was observed by the Empire's researchers...
... ..You are playing with me here
But no matter what the truth is, the most important thing now is not to expose the other party.
But how to use it.
Gu Moli rolled his eyes and said immediately, "I agree."
"How do you want to investigate my abilities?"
"I can cooperate with you."
"But I have three requests. The first is food. Now that I have left the deep consciousness, there is no need for me to eat that damn sardine head, right?"
"... ..no problem."
"Secondly, after you finish your investigation, I will ask for formal citizenship of the Empire and corresponding treatment. After all, you can't want pigs to grow taller without feeding them feed."
"... ..Can."
"Finally, I want to take a look outside. You know what I mean. I mean outside this room."
"... ... ... "
This time, Aisia remained silent for much longer than Gu Moli had imagined. After a while, she spoke again, "Why?"
"No reason. This shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"... I need to report this to my superiors."
"Report?"
Gu Moli narrowed his eyes: "I am an alien, and I can even get the official citizenship of the empire, but I don't even have the right to look outside the room?"
"If the higher-ups give permission..."
"In that case."
Gu Moli scanned Aisia, who was dressed in white researcher clothes, from head to toe and said, "Ms. Aisia, I want to meet researcher Elena."
"Is this all right?"
".....Elena?"
"That's right. Didn't you say that the researchers created a virtual world in my deep consciousness? If so, there should be other people, right? Researcher Elena should also exist in reality, or is she just a fake character in the virtual world?"
"... In fact, not all experimenters exist in reality..."
"Then let me see him."
"Can I see what I have seen in the virtual world in the real world?"
“… … .”
This time, Aisia was completely silent.
Gu Moli frowned even more deeply: "I can't see them? Miss Aisia, if that's the case, then in the real world, I have only seen you so far? Is it because you are special? Or is there something outside that I can't see?"
"... I don't understand what you are talking about."
Swish!
Before Aisia finished her words, the lasting justice behind Gu Moli suddenly took action and grabbed Aisia's fair neck.
“Ugh!!!”
Enduring Justice slowly raised his hands and hung Asia in the air.
However... .
"It seems the cell didn't explode."
"Where's the self-destruct sequence, Ms. Asia?"
... .Yes.
Nothing happened.
The empty white room, the silent secret room, after Gu Moli arrested Aisia so blatantly, still nothing happened.
Why
"There is no self-destruct program at all, Miss Asia."
"After all, if there really is such a thing, you don't have to come in person to talk to me. You can talk to me through a screen, and remotely detonate the room as soon as I make any unusual movements. Isn't this more reasonable? Based on this, there must be a corresponding reason for you to appear in front of me in person."
"I think it's more likely that they had no other choice."
"... ..Ugh! Ugh!"
Asia waved her hands in the air, slapping them in the air, but unfortunately, as a normal person, she couldn't touch the Stand.
"Based on my initial speculation, the truth should be similar to what you said."
"But you use 99 percent of the truth to cover up the 1 percent of lies."
"The virtual cell I was in before, the real cell I'm in now, and the city of Petra and the experimental base I visited before, which one is the real virtual world? Which one is reality? Which one is an illusion? Is what I experienced real or fake?"
“… ..!!!”
Aisia shook her body and fell into the pain of suffocation.
Gu Moli continued, "Ms. Aisia, before we met face to face, you had never actually met me."
"The one who appeared in the white cell was a so-called ghost, but after leaving that room, you have never actually met me as a ghost."
"Why?"
"Can't do it?"
"Assuming you can't meet me in the outside world as a ghost, why is that? If the previous prison cell and Petra City are virtual worlds, there should be no limit to your disguise as a ghost, right?"
"And after all, ghosts are not human beings, right? No matter how you think about it, ghosts should be a kind of anomaly. In an empire that is so strict about anomalies, is it really possible for a ghost to become a researcher? This is a question I have had before."
"Based on this, I made a guess, but it's just a guess."
"First of all, as an alien, I was indeed recovered by the Empire as you said. I was also locked in a secret room, which is the room I am in now. But this is not enough insurance, so the Empire built another secret room."
"That is the white cell where I first woke up. It is also the cell where you, Miss Aisia, appeared as a ghost."
"That's virtual, it's fake."
"but."
"After that, the Imperial City of Petra and the experimental base I went to should all be real."
"The one who connects these three locations is you, Miss Aisia. As a ghost, you only appear in the white cell. Apart from that, you appear in this room as a real person. You dare not show up to see me in the experimental base because both of them are real."
"You, the ghost, only exist in the virtual world."
“And where ghosts don’t exist, that’s the real reality.”
"According to my inference, the outside of the room should be in a bleak state at this time. After all, the anomaly is still in turmoil. This is something that cannot be shown to me, right?"
"That's why you want to reject my proposal."
"The reason you released me from that virtual prison cell is most likely because I was caught up in the abnormal riot outside, right? That abnormality should be a very powerful existence. In order to avoid any accidents, you must bring my consciousness back immediately."
"And the situation is probably so serious that my consciousness can no longer be revived in the virtual world."
"I have to wake up to reality right now."
“So this scene just happened.”
"There were no emergency procedures because it all happened so suddenly and you couldn't prepare in advance."
"As for what you said about investigating my ability, it's most likely just to temporarily hold me back until the action team has time to subdue me."
"But..."
At this point, Aisia had actually fallen into a coma, and after hesitating for a moment, Gu Moli let the female researcher go.
From an emotional point of view, Gu Moli doesn't want to kill anyone.
From a rational point of view, killing female researchers and making enemies with the empire are not good ideas in themselves.
Besides... .
"From what I just deduced, there is indeed an abnormal riot outside, which is different from the Book of Eidient in the first experiment."
"The problem is the second experiment."
"This experiment was intended to deliberately create an abnormal riot in an attempt to capture my abilities, but the experiment must have gone wrong in the end. The fake death was real, and the abnormalities started to run wild one by one. I had to be forcibly awakened. The people outside should be in chaos now."
“… .This is an opportunity!”
The reason why I didn't take action before was, on the one hand, because I was concerned that the abnormal riot might be a conspiracy of the empire, and on the other hand, because I was still possessed by the android at the time, and my main body was controlled by others, so it was difficult for me to attack. But now, these two biggest problems have been solved.
"When I was walking in the outside world with my artificial body, I memorized the route in advance. If I escape in the chaos, I have a chance to escape with my Stand ability...!"
“Tsk!”
Now that he has made up his mind, he will not hesitate any longer.
He stood up directly, with the Lasting Justice roaring behind him, and swung his fist towards the wall.
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
Boom!
Under the continuous blows of the stand-in, the wall went from being shaky to having cracks mended and finally on the verge of collapse. Gu Moli stepped forward and kicked it directly.
The kick broke the wall of the cell.
Gu Moli was also able to truly enter the world outside the prison cell.
And there... ...there was nothing.
Gu Moli stepped on empty air and opened his mouth wide, his eyes blank, watching himself step into the endless darkness outside the room.
There are no corridors, no experimental bases, and no abnormalities running wild.
A void.
He thought that after walking out of the cell of less than 30 square meters, he would enter a different world with a vast ocean and sky.
But I didn't expect it.
That cell of less than 30 square meters was his entire world.
His body began to fall uncontrollably, and Gu Moli fell from the cell towards the darkness in front of him. He immediately controlled his stand-in to grab the floor of the cell.
However... ..
"!!!"
Lasting Justice, Gu Moli's greatest support in the other world and also his most trusted substitute, was now holding the Dark Lamp with a pair of eyes burning with blue flames. He did not take any action, but just watched his master quietly falling towards the boundless darkness.
