After clearing the game, I became the villain BOSS

Chapter 438 The Essence of Existence

Dr. Chen is the attending expert of consciousness cycle construction therapy and has come into contact with many patients in the past.

He had seen many "time travelers" like Su Mo, so he did not show any confusion or surprise at this time, but patiently persuaded him.

"Xiao Su, I understand how you feel now. There were many patients like you before. Although they are awake, they can't change their thoughts for a while, just like an actor who is too immersed in the role."

"But you have to know that this is your real world. No matter how wonderful the process of constructing consciousness is, it is fake after all. Just treat it as a dream."

"That was not a dream!" Su Mo almost yelled, clenching his fists and shouting, "That was not a dream, and it was not fake!"

"I started a new life there, growing up on my own. I remember every day I lived, every thing I experienced, and every person I met! That is a real world!"

Doctor Chen is very experienced in calming patients, and said calmly, "I'm very sorry, Xiao Su, I made a mistake. The nature of consciousness reconstruction is indeed different from dreams, and it was wrong of me to call it a dream."

"I recognize that the world is real, just like what Descartes said - I think, therefore I am. From a material point of view, it is indeed a consciousness signal that appeared in your brain nerves."

"Who can guarantee that this real world of ours is not a signal of consciousness from some advanced creature? So your Dawn World does exist objectively speaking."

At this point, Dr. Chen changed the subject: "However, there is one thing you need to understand. As your consciousness regains consciousness, you are no longer there."

"To use the words of you young people, you have traveled through time again. Previously, you traveled from the real world to the Dawn World, and now you traveled from the Dawn World back to the real world."

"You said you have your own life in the Dawn World, which is true, but isn't it the same in the real world? Isn't this your life?"

Seeing that Su Mo was silent, Li Huishu quickly took over the conversation and persuaded him as a mother: "Baby, listen to the doctor and wake up."

"When you've recovered, ask your dad to take a New Year's holiday, and the three of us will go traveling to relax. Didn't you say before that you wanted to wear a wizard costume to Universal Studios? We'll wear it with you!"

Su Mo gritted his teeth and felt difficulty breathing. He clutched the hospital gown tightly around his chest, so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"He seems to be feeling unwell. Quick, quick, lie down first." Doctor Chen came over quickly to support him.

Su Mo did not lie down, but grabbed Doctor Chen's sleeve with his backhand and said in a trembling voice: "Doctor, I will listen to you. I only ask you one thing. You must not hide or lie to me about what I ask next."

At this point, Dr. Chen could only agree: "Just tell me, as long as it's something I know."

Su Mo: "Is there any way for me to return to that world?"

"I promise you that I will live a good life in the future, but don't lie to me about this question. I want to know the answer!"

Dr. Chen subconsciously exchanged a glance with Su Xun and Li Huishu.

As parents, they naturally hope that Dr. Chen will say it decisively and stop Su Mo from having such thoughts. This is for the good of the child.

However, Doctor Chen thought for a moment and said truthfully: "Xiao Su, we doctors seek truth from facts, so I will tell you the truth."

"First of all, if you want to let your body go to that world, of course it is impossible. As I said just now, that world is just a consciousness signal. It has no entity like the real world."

"However, if by return you mean return at the level of consciousness, although I haven't specifically studied it, I personally think there is a theoretical possibility."

"The principle is not complicated. If we can reproduce that consciousness signal and then connect it to the human brain nerves, theoretically the consciousness transmission will be completed, and the effect of 'going back' that you mentioned will be achieved."

Hope suddenly ignited in Su Mo's eyes, and he asked hurriedly: "So I can actually go back, right?!"

Doctor Chen adjusted his glasses and said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Su, I may not have made some of my words clear just now, and I made you happy for nothing."

"I'm just saying it's possible in theory. There's a huge gap between theory and practice. There's no mature model for consciousness transmission technology at the moment, and it's simply not possible with today's technology."

Su Mo said without hesitation: "As long as there is a theoretical possibility, I will study this technology from now on, for ten, twenty, even thirty or fifty years. Anyway, I am still young, and I will devote my life to researching it."

Doctor Chen didn't expect to hear such an answer, and he had never met such a stubborn patient. He smiled helplessly and said, "Xiao Su, you can't fight with yourself like this. You have to face reality."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if you have really developed the technology to transmit consciousness, so what? Your consciousness signal data no longer exists."

Su Mo's expression froze, and he asked blankly, "Why doesn't it exist? Was there no record on the machine during my treatment?"

Doctor Chen sighed and said, "As I said before, this is a new and cutting-edge treatment that has only just been introduced. Our primary goal is to ensure its efficacy."

"Other aspects, such as recording consciousness signal data throughout the process, are not within the scope of the current study."

He pursed his lips and gave Sumer the final answer: "In other words, the moment you woke up, the dawn world you visited disappeared. It once existed, but you will never be able to find it again."

After the conversation, the medical team kept Su Mo in the hospital for observation for a period of time. After determining that his vital signs were stable, they allowed him to go home and recuperate.

After Su Mo returned home, he felt dazed and fell asleep until the next morning.

Early in the morning, he sat at the dining table and ate the breakfast made by his mother.

While eating, he subconsciously looked up and asked, "Dongdong, are they still not awake?"

After he finished speaking, the restaurant fell silent. Su Xun and Li Huishu looked at each other, and Su Mo himself was silent as well.

Li Huishu looked at the dazed and lonely child and wanted to say something, but Su Xun secretly shook his head at her.

Then Su Xun coughed lightly and changed the subject in a friendly manner: "Son, today is Saturday, would your parents like to go out for a walk with you? Or you can go out and play by yourself if you want. Especially at times like this, you should go out more often."

Li Huishu chimed in: "Hey, didn't Keke and the others come to visit a few days ago? I wasn't awake yet."

"Son, you still remember Coco and the others, your best friends from college. During the years you were sick, they often came to see you and told you to tell them when you woke up."

Su Xun smiled and said, "Then tell them quickly. They've left their phone numbers. Son, they care about you so much, you must cherish this friendship."

After breakfast, Su Xun and Li Huishu told their best friends the news of their son's recovery. After communicating over the phone, they decided to pick up Su Mo at noon to go out and play together.

Su Mo has three main best friends in college: Squid, Fatty, and Coco.

In the previous "Beacon Incident", these three people had appeared in the form of hallucinations.

Now they appear again, but they are no longer illusions, but real existences.

When they met at noon, Squid and Fatty were fine as men, but Coco, the girl, hugged Su Mo's arm and started crying. Those were tears of joy after a long separation.

These four people often went out to play together in college, but there were actually very few activities. They were either going to Internet cafes, Internet cafes, or Internet cafes again.

Today is no exception.

The four of them went to the network card and opened a booth, and first played a few competitive games together.

Among them, Su Mo is the absolute big boss. Want to get points? Just raise Su Mo without any hesitation.

But Su Mo was in a bad state today, making frequent mistakes, and the others couldn't carry him, so they lost one game after another.

After finishing the game, Keke lay on the table and wailed: "Ah~ Five losses in a row."

Su Mo said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood today, and I feel a little dizzy."

Keke waved her hands quickly: "It's okay, it's okay. Hey Mo Shui, how come you've been sleeping for three years and suddenly become so polite? I was so nervous."

Squid suggested: "Ink, why don't you take a break first, and the three of us will start with one."

Keke rolled his eyes. "I don't have any ink belts. I'm not going to play ranked with you two. I'm tired of playing anyway. Let's just play our own games. I'm going to play Dawn for a while."

The fat man suddenly remembered something at this time: "If I remember correctly, Mo Shui seemed to have grabbed the qualification for the internal test of "Dawn" that year?"

Su Mo looked at the familiar UI icon on the computer screen and asked blankly, "Shuguang, how is it now?"

Keke smiled and said, "The official version has been released a long time ago, and it won the TGA Game of the Year Award that year, as well as various other major and minor awards. Three years have passed and the popularity is still very high. It is hailed as the pride of domestic stand-alone game."

Seeing that Su Mo was listening intently, Wu Ze poked Ke Ke's waist and said, "Don't just talk, turn on the speakers and play for him directly."

Coco turned on the speaker and entered Dawn. As the game loaded, the familiar world came to Su Mo again.

Coco controlled the protagonist to run around, and while playing, she explained to Su Mo about the Crescent City in front of them.

As he was running, suddenly, a trash can on the side of the road was pushed open, and a petite figure rushed out from it: "I'll fight!!!"

Keke shouted and dodged, laughing: "I knew Dongzi was waiting for me. I just passed by and kicked her. Why would she chase me now?"

"This guy is really fun, he's a tsundere, you can conquer him."

She controlled the protagonist to throw Dongdong over with one move, then said with a sly smile: "Come on, Mo Shui, I'll give you the whole life."

She opened her backpack and threw a handful of cash on the ground.

Dongdong saw the cash on the ground and kicked it away in frustration, yelling, "Get lost! I don't want your money!"

Coco controlled the protagonist to walk away, secretly pressed the crouch button, and hid in the corner.

Dongdong just walked away cursing and shouting that he would take revenge next time.

Not long after she left, she came back and honestly bent down to pick up the money on the ground, still muttering: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't go against the money."

Outside the screen, Keke and the others laughed so hard that they slapped their thighs: "Mo Shui, did the beta version of Dong Dong you played have this AI logic?"

After they finished speaking, they found that Su Mo did not respond, so they turned their heads to look.

He was shocked when he saw this. Su Mo was staring at the game screen blankly, tears pouring out of his eyes uncontrollably. He was crying without realizing it.

Coco and others knew that Sumer was sick, but they didn't know the details of the consciousness cycle reconstruction therapy, nor did they know that he had "traveled" to the Dawn World. They were completely confused and didn't understand why he was crying.

"ink?"

Su Mo gradually came back to his senses, wiped the tears from his face helplessly, and smiled reluctantly: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. The doctor said that there will be sequelae of the tear glands after treatment. It's okay, it's okay."

Keke and the others didn't know whether this was true or not, so when they heard him say it was okay, they continued playing Dawn.

Squid sat next to Coco and asked with interest: "What stage are you in?"

Keke: "I've completed it three times before, this is the fourth round."

Squid: "What was your previous ending?"

Coco: "All three times, the ending was 'world destruction'."

The fat man complained: "Women are so scary."

Coco blushed and said, "I don't want to either! I also want a good ending, but I don't know why all the endings are the destruction of the world, and everyone is stabbed to death by the tectonic larvae."

The squid asked in confusion, "The other endings aren't that hard to beat, right? Did you just randomly choose the plot options?"

Keke: "I just play it casually. I can choose whichever one I want."

Squid: "You're not doing evil in the plot, are you? Those researchers tricked you into dissecting the larvae alive, and you really did it?"

Coco: "Yeah, because there are a lot of rewards."

Squid: "So how did you choose the plot for the second week?"

Coco: "It's the same as in Act 1."

Squid: "What about the third round?"

Coco: “It’s the same as in Act 1.”

After hearing this, Cuttlefish laughed and scolded, "Keke, are you an idiot? You always make the same choice in the plot, and you still ask why there is no other ending. Isn't that nonsense?"

"The choices are exactly the same, the process is exactly the same, and of course the final results are exactly the same."

Coco tapped her head in a silly way: "Ah, is that so?"

The squid rolled his eyes and said, "I really admire you for being such a fool. All games must be like this, what else?"

"Boom!"

Without warning, everyone heard the sound of a chair falling over.

Turning around, I saw that Su Mo had stood up at some point, and because he used too much force, he even knocked over the chair. His eyes were wide open, staring at the squid.

"Squid, what did you just say?"

Squid was stunned for a moment: "I said that all games must be like this, otherwise."

Su Mo: "No, no, no, what I said before."

Squid: "Before. Um. I really admire you, such a fool."

Su Mo: "No no no no no! Before that!"

"Before that," Squid recalled for a while, and said with some doubt, "the choices were exactly the same, the process was exactly the same, and of course the final results were exactly the same. What did you say?"

Su Mo: “That’s it!”

He paced back and forth, muttering to himself: "The choices are exactly the same, the process is exactly the same, and the final result is of course exactly the same."

He repeated this sentence dozens of times.

Seeing Su Mo's nervous look, Ke Ke suspected that he was possessed by a demon, and said guiltily, "Why don't we stop playing Dawn?"

Squid: “Agree.”

Fatty: “I agree.”

At this time, Su Mo was still repeating the same sentence over and over again.

“The choices are exactly the same, the process is exactly the same, and of course the final results are exactly the same.”

The confusion and gloom in his eyes that had lingered since he woke up suddenly disappeared, and an unprecedented hope ignited like a flame.

“I know how to get back.”
