Tomb Raider: Villain System, Start with Umbrella Corporation

Zhang Ruitong and Zhang Ruifang, two uncles, were standing there discussing something. When they saw the few people, they quickly called them over.

Everything that Dahuang needed to materialize has been almost completed, and the number of clones consumed is much less than expected, less than half.

The two of them were just discussing this.

"We were just discussing the bronze tree, together."

They were hungry after walking for a while, and Zhang Musi was quite interested in the bronze tree, so they sat together and chatted while eating.

Da Huang: "We were just discussing whether the accounts matched."

"What's inconsistent?" Upon hearing that it was related to money, Zhang Musi stretched his neck and asked like a snail whose tentacles were pricked.

"It's not that account. It's that the balance between the consumption of clones and materialized substances is not right."

"Bronze Tree embezzled our clone energy? This guy must be a middleman."

"No." Da Huang preferred the simple nutrient solution to the complicated food digestion. He drank it and put it aside, continuing to explain, "It's just not enough."

"Originally, it was estimated that the number of clones consumed should be between 150 and 200, but now that the materialization has been completed by more than 95%, only 30 clones have been consumed. This ratio is wrong."

"Did you calculate it wrong?" When faced with other people's questions, let them reflect on themselves first.

"No, you can understand it as a fuzzy mathematical algorithm that determines the world as an overall value, and humans are included in this total value. It's like a pie chart, with humans occupying one of the sectors."

This is easy to understand, and the blind man listened with great interest. He really liked this extremely simple way of understanding the world.

"Let's call the size of the area occupied by everything in the world in this pie chart the weight value. In this way, everything visible or invisible in the world has a weight value, including humans."

"The number of 150-200 is what I got by setting the human weight to an absurdly high level."

"If we extrapolate based on current consumption, the total weight of humanity has already exceeded the world's total value."

“Numbers don’t lie. This is the truth of the universe.”

Zhang Musi felt dizzy from the sun, so he turned on the bucket valve and washed his face with cold water. The cold water made him feel much more awake.

"This situation is very obvious. The first possibility is that this world is fictional. In this case, the total value of the world is incorrect. The weight of the world should include humans. Hmm... It's like the dream of a thousand cats... It doesn't seem quite appropriate, but I get the idea!"

The understatement, naturalness, and rationality of this analysis really opened the eyes of these old men living in the world of metaphysics. They did not understand but were greatly shocked.

What a shock! Zhang Musi hasn't even mentioned catching the author and sacrificing him!

“The second is when external forces intervene in the process of concretization.”

"The last type is that the weight of the concrete substance approaches 0 infinitely."

"Little boss, what do you think of the last part?" The blind man was really curious. He had never thought that looking at the world from this angle would be so pretentious! It was a perspective that looked down on the world.

"Well... it means that the materialized matter exists in another dimension, but we can sense it. For example, you know the Eluohai City, right?"

Several little heads nodded like pecking at rice, indicating that they understood what he meant.

The Evil Sea City that appeared later was both real and non-existent. It was just formed by the Zhuchen Pearl communicating with the imaginary space with the memories of the first generation of devil ghost mother. It can be seen, touched, and perceived. It is real but not real.

These three conjectures are more outrageous than the other, but the second one is actually easier to accept.

"Which possibility do you prefer, Mr. Zhang?" Zhang Ruifan looked at the new clan leader, who was not very familiar to him, with a smile. He was an interesting person.

"I am...not sure yet, but I think so." After thinking about this damn world, "It has both."

Zhang Ruifang thought that at least the first possibility would not be included in the tendency, it was just an option listed, but he did not expect that he actually referred to the result.

"I was just discussing the visualization of the subconscious with Mr. Huang, and I found some problems that may be helpful for this judgment."

"The earliest record of the Zhang family's influence on the bronze tree was in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The original text reads [wherever the lower consciousness goes, it manifests itself in an illusion], which literally means that the subconscious mind materializes."

"But anything written down in black and white by the Zhang family..." He smiled with a hint of understanding, "needs to be distinguished."

“Are there fakes in our own library?”

Glancing at Zhang Qiling and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Zhang Ruifang continued, "As far as I know, the head of the Zhang family has activated silence six times and actively collapsed once."

"Compared to the disintegration when the family encountered a crisis and the Zhang family hid their identities and dispersed into the crowd waiting to return, the collapse is more like this time..." He looked at Zhang Musi with warm eyes, "making everyone think that the Zhang family has completely collapsed and no longer exists. If the disintegration was to protect the safety of the family members, then the collapse was the Zhang family's desperate gamble for the mission."

"So the clan land is the final hook?"

"Yes, as long as people are alive, the truth can always be restored."

Damn, so handsome, this is the confidence and pride of the Zhang family.

"But this information is most likely for outsiders to see. Its authenticity cannot be verified. Only Mr. Zhang can understand the specific situation."

Zhang Qiling's memory is always fragmented, making it difficult to give a clear answer.

The few of them could only continue the discussion based on the subconscious visualization.

As the actual executor, Da Huang was the first to notice something was wrong. However, as a digital life, he did not have a subconscious mind, so it was particularly difficult for him to explain.

"The subconscious mind is a blank sheet of paper at the beginning. Every time you experience something, make a choice, or see something, the emotional feedback you generate will leave a mark on the paper, forming a subconscious database. When you experience external stimuli, you will have emotions, likes, dislikes, fears, and these emotions will give rise to desires."

"Let me give you an analogy. For example, if you watched a certain music video before, your subconscious mind is guessing what you like and what you don't like, forming a cocoon."

Zhang Musi could understand every word, but it was extremely difficult to comprehend.

Da Huang grabbed his hair and looked like he was about to explode. This was the most straightforward thing he could say.

"Let me explain." Zhang Ruifang took over the conversation and smiled at them.

"The Taiyi Jinhua Principle says, "The lower consciousness is like a powerful vassal general who bullies the weak and dark Lord of Heaven and then controls the rules from afar. After a long time, Tai'a will be upside down." This lower consciousness is the subconscious mind. It also says, "When the essence and water are sufficient, the divine fire will occur, the intention soil will condense, and the holy fetus can be formed."

Zhang Musi looked around and thought, okay, these two understood it, but he still didn’t understand anything and felt even more complicated.

"That is to say, the ancients believed that although the subconscious mind originated from the brain, it originated from the heart. It is not a kind of thinking but a kind of desire. Any judgment and understanding made by the subconscious mind is based on this desire."

Zhang Ruifang could see that Zhang Musi didn't understand, so he calmly explained.

"In fact, I didn't understand this before. Now think about it, if the bronze tree is based on the materialization of desire, then it is actually a large brain wave reader and production factory. It's just that this factory is very large! Mr. Da Huang should have discovered the problem at this stage."

"Oh, yes, yes! That's what I mean!"

Zhang Ruifang is amazing, he deserves to be able to fly a plane. Zhang Musi was shocked. He knew everything about Lu Dongbin and brain waves. He looked at Xiao Huya with strange eyes.

"My dear, can you fly a nuclear submarine?"

"Ah?" Zhang Rui was stunned for half a second, then nodded with a smile, "I know a little."

Fuck, this is awesome!

Zhang Ruitong talked on for a long time and finally explained the whole process. His previous process of using data to simulate the subconscious mind was extremely complicated, and the logical difficulty was comparable to the one-step process in Inception.

Because if it is really something produced by the subconscious, it must have one or more reference objects in reality, such as clones. So Da Huang can only build the underlying world layer by layer, and then let the simulated subconscious point to the reference objects in the underlying world.

However, when he controlled the simulated subconscious to enter the underlying world, a process was missing. Simply put, he should have copied a physical bronze tree blueprint and taken it back to create it himself.

"Do you understand it?"

Da Huang was almost dead from exhaustion! He was panting like a wild dog with a look of despair on his face.

Zhang Musi thought about it and probably understood it.

"You mean, desire or subconsciousness is what activates the bronze tree to open the factory's sensor door. The factory space is the place where things are produced, so it has the function of...creation?"

"Emm... about the same..."

"Then this factory could be the space where the Eluo Sea City exists?"

"Then I don't know. You guys can go in and take a look at the rest." Da Huang shrugged, unable to help.

In addition to bringing a plane full of Zhang Ruitong's body, Zhang Ruifang also brought a complete set of equipment.

Exoskeleton combat system, aircraft, nanorobots, fully wrapped intelligent combat suits, Zhang Muchi put on everything he could put on, and carried a Gatling gun on his back, which rotated 3,600 times in one breath, giving him a maximum sense of security.

The whole person looked like a mechanical warrior, at least two times bigger than the blind man.

Everyone's face was twitching as they watched. How scared of death must this person be...

The last item, in order to suppress my imagination which is blossoming every second, I put on a communication headset and play pi.

This is no joke. He is a human being who has been baptized by Cthulhu culture. Who knows what perverted things are in his mind.

At this point, he looked at the blind man with a warning, "Master Hei, at this critical moment, you must not think about anything scary!"

...

The blind man pushed his glasses and seriously suspected that this guy had already started thinking.

call!

"Patrick, give me the power! 3.! 3.! 3.!"

"set off!"

In the valley, there was a man who looked like a high-level paraplegic with a nursing brace all over his body, rushing to the battlefield and bravely walking in front after escaping death. The three people behind him were driving a small group of people as if they were strolling in the park. The scene was so fragmented that it looked like he was taking a girl for a gallop in the Summoner's Rift.

The BGM is different.

They no longer needed to go through the tunnel at the bottom of the mountain, but could go directly through the gap in the big banyan tree on the top of the mountain, which made the journey much more convenient.

Zhang Musi stood at the entrance of the cave, took out the cannon-type nail gun at his side, loaded it with nail bullets, and with 10 cm of steel nails exposed outside the muzzle, he fixed the tunnel light in a few clicks.

Bang bang bang bang!

"Construction completed!" Zhang Musi happily took back his equipment.

Looking inside the cave again, 30 meters below, four tunnel lights with soft and penetrating light illuminate the entire space at a glance, and even the mottled marks on the bronze tree are distinguished by light and dark.

"I can't let my imagination run wild this time. I can see it very clearly. I don't want to leave any room for imagination."

Several people were also shocked by this operation. Whose... Never mind...

Fortunately, the light was not so dazzling, otherwise the blind man would have been injured.

Zhang Musi patted the blind man's shoulder and said, "Actually, I considered using a red light, but when the time comes, I feel that with my own imagination, we won't be able to go even 10 meters.

Red light...I can’t do that either, I can’t do that either, thank you so much, blind man!

Several people followed Dahuang and walked down along the roots of the banyan tree. The huge roots of the banyan tree had scales as hard as stone. From a distance, they looked like a bunch of twisted pythons, which was particularly creepy.

Zhang Musi forced himself not to think about the plot.

Through the twisted jungle-like roots, one can see a circular platform with a diameter of about 20 meters at the top of the bronze tree. In the middle, there is a deep cave with a diameter of 10 meters, which exudes a biting cold air and is wrapped in thick fog, making it bottomless.

Below this cave entrance is the interior of the bronze tree.

It was on this platform that Da Huang began to materialize. He had not gone inside the bronze tree and did not know what it looked like inside.

Zhang Musi's current team is definitely the ceiling in the tomb-robbing world. Three former heads of the Zhang family plus the doomsday terminator Hei Xia Zi fighting together, what a concept!

It is no exaggeration to say that the ancient tombs in the Qinling Mountains have never been so impressive in the past few thousand years!

I felt more confident all of a sudden!

After standing there for less than 2 minutes, he pulled everyone back to the top of the mountain.

He had a bold and cautious idea, but he didn't dare to think about it near the bronze tree, because who knew what changes might happen.
