Abnormality comes, my right hand peels off everything

[You received an invitation to a masquerade ball, and you chose to join the ball]

[After receiving the invitation, you tried to get information but to no avail, but found a rich girl holding an invitation as well. After hesitating, you chose to wait and see]

[During lunch, you found that the jewelry the rich woman gave you was stolen by a kid, but the kid's brother is a playboy, and you can't afford to offend him, but you still chose to argue]

[After being beaten, the guy found your invitation and his attitude suddenly improved a lot. You re-evaluated the value of the invitation and chose to participate]

[……]

[When you arrived at the gate to check your tickets, you found that these people were indeed rich or noble by their clothes. You choose to hand over the card]

[Entering the party, you think it would be nice to meet a masochistic rich woman, which would satisfy you and make money easily. At this time, you see the participants who have already arrived, and you choose to sit in the middle right position]

[No one seems to know what the specific activities are at the party, and you choose to wait for the host to introduce them]

[Soothing music starts, and everyone gradually becomes lively. Looking at the participants who are gradually becoming more and more unrestrained, you choose to participate]

[……]

[The party is over, you are still a little reluctant, but you find that you have inadvertently spent more than 200,000 yuan, and you instantly regret it. You choose to find the one who was with you during the day. Chat with women who play games]

[Unfortunately, you searched the ship but couldn't find him. You had no choice but to find other rich people to make up for the loss, regardless of gender]

[……]

[The cruise ship suddenly encountered a shipwreck, and you accidentally fell into the sea and died. Your life of a gigolo ended here, at the age of 32]

"Go, make a new dipping sauce, a little spicier, and get another serving of shaved ice."

"Yes."

"I want shaved ice too!"

Mo Zhou put down his chopsticks and turned his eyes from the screen to the paper girl on the right:

"There is obviously something wrong with this script. As usual, tell me what you think first."

The paper girl took a piece of mutton from the tomato soup on one side of the double-flavored pot and put it in. In his mouth:

"From the script, there must be anomalies in the ball, which may blur or tamper with people's memories, or cause cognitive distortion like the [Life Simulator].

You may need your nightmare ability to confirm this. In addition, this anomaly did not cause obvious damage to the subjects at the physical level, but there are too many possibilities for the subsequent shipwreck:

It may be caused by that anomaly, or it may just be bad luck.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the shipwreck was caused by other anomalies or the [Life Simulator]. "

Mo Zhou nodded and said nothing more, just thinking alone.

The paper girl's guess was similar to his. The subjects found for this masked ball were originally thinking of experimenting with the characteristics of the [Life Simulator], and at the same time making a slight guess about the situation of the ball.

Among the previous [Simulator] subjects, the paper girl's report has pointed out that its function is not an abstract concept such as cause and effect, fate, and future, but a relatively simple "cognitive distortion".

Tracing back all those affected, including Mo Zhou and others, from the simulator incident, we can find an obvious problem:

"The ending of the incident cannot be avoided, but this is the choice made by each participant personally."

Take Cheng Mingrui's script in which Mo Zhou personally participated, for example, his own cognition has quietly distorted, the most obvious point is "let Xingxiu Temple go" and "let Beni come over".

From Mo Zhou's point of view, letting Xingxiu Temple go was another choice driven by interests. He was almost immortal on the physical level, and he instinctively feared the mysterious thing of simulator.

Without knowing the specific characteristics of the simulator, continuing to fight with Xingxiu Temple will only make things more complicated;

And Cheng Mingrui himself, even if he knew that he would die, he could not bet that he would not die when Mo Zhou and others fought. His choice has been blocked by the choices of others;

As for Beni, although Mo Zhou suddenly decided to let it come to help, it was still delayed because of a passenger's sudden heart attack.

Subsequent reports are that the man forgot the medicine in the waiting area and was hit by pedestrians on the way and was frightened.

This also reflects a feature:

"When the simulator cannot complete the key points of the plot according to common sense, its cognitive distortion will expand."

Although this is not a means of predicting the future, it clearly guides the established future through a person, and predicts some objective events at the same time.

For example, this time, the man must have died in a shipwreck in the end.

As for the cause of this shipwreck, it is very vague. It may be a man-made accident or an objective existence.

As the target of this experiment, the man who lives on money noticed something was wrong in time, but the simulator still gave corrections.

For example, when he saw the invitation letter in the hands of the rich woman, he learned the value of the invitation letter through the conflict between the rich boy, etc., which were all cognitive distortions made by the simulator in those two short sentences to achieve the effect of correcting the plot.

Besides, since the plot identity of the subjects is [yourself], this leads to another big problem:

"Increasing the plot tolerance rate by shortening sentences"

Like Cheng Mingrui's friend Zhou Qiang before, he died in a car accident, and he died in a car accident in the plot.

Because he has no idea what will happen in his life.

But Cheng Mingrui is different. He knows that he will die in the hands of Mo Zhou, so he will keep resisting.

When the simulator cannot guide him to complete the plot from a rational level, it will guide the people around him to make choices that block other choices. At the same time, the plot is ambiguous, only saying that he will die, but not how he will die.

So the old man in the jade pendant, Mo Zhou, and Cheng Mingrui himself died in the devil's obsession even though everyone didn't want him to die at the time.

This time, the gigolo is also in this situation:

After he realized that there was something wrong with the masquerade, he would have concerns about the ball, so that the plot reduced a lot of content to prevent him from predicting and interfering with his life.

In this way, the information that Mo Zhou can know as a bystander is limited.

For example, from the script, the other party will encounter a choice when checking tickets at night, but he [chooses to hand over the card to check the ticket], and the other options are:

[Turn around and leave] and [Come back to see it halfway].

From this and the other party's previous choices, it can be inferred that this guy was still hesitant before, otherwise this would not be a key point.

But he will definitely encounter things like "someone urges him to check the ticket quickly", "what benefits are there in the ball", and even "the rich boy who had conflicts before pulls him in".

In short, the simpler the plot, the more it represents the struggle of the gigolo.

And when it comes to [soothing music plays... you choose to participate], the problem is revealed:

Here, the gigolo has refused to complete the game, and the simulator randomly selects the event.

In theory, the other party cannot directly participate in it. The simulator should arrange the plot to let others pull him in, so Mo Zhou suspects that there is something abnormal here.

The following plots are mostly about eating, dancing, drinking and going to bed, and there is no obvious abnormality.

But the plot after the dance is [you are still not satisfied... spent more than 200,000 yuan], which also makes the paper girl make the judgment that "abnormality will blur and tamper with memory".

As a person who knows that there is a problem with the simulator, the other party must have been affected from resisting to participate in the dance to feeling that he is still not satisfied.

However, judging from the behavior of "spending more than 200,000 yuan", Mo Zhou guessed that the organizer held this kind of dance mostly to make money, but the specific method is still to be discussed.

After eating hot pot, Mo Zhou looked at the sea and remained silent.

The ball will be known roughly when they enter the dream. Even if their memories cannot be searched in the dream, they can provide Mo Zhou with a direction for investigation.

He is more concerned about the shipwreck now.

The cruise ship arrived in Sakura Country in just four days, and the shipwreck is likely to have happened in these two days.

He would rather see abnormalities in the sea than the cruise ship staff causing accidents due to cognitive distortions in the simulator.
