Midnight Ship Says [Unlimited]

At least, now he knew he couldn't go any further.Going forward is just a waste of charge points.

Chu Tu quietly opened the door a crack.

The man who had a face-to-face with him just now had disappeared.He should have been eager to continue opening the door and leaving.

Judging from that person's behavior, he didn't necessarily want Chutu's life, which showed that the lottery points in his hand were sufficient in the short term.

Those who walk fast are bound to be very capable, and it is not unexpected that they have a lot of storage points.For leaders like Chu Tu and the guy just now, the most urgent task now is to compare speed.

If Chu Tu fought with that person, maybe a third person would take the opportunity to run to the front.

Therefore, in the distance close to the center, the probability of players competing and killing each other is much smaller than that at the periphery.

The last thing they want now is to open a door and see someone, or a door that has already been opened.

The current pursuit of speed by the leading players depresses their perception and thinking of the world.

Chu Tu frowned.He definitely won't be the only one who realizes that there is a problem with these rooms, and after a while, others will realize the problem.But judging from the current situation, since he walked through the Wanhua Corridor and arrived at this room first, he spent the longest time in it, and he was probably the first to understand the situation.

There was a time gap for him to seize this opportunity and get out before the others reacted.

Chutu's first reaction was to walk back.He walked back to the previous room that made people shrink, and walked back one by one through the doors he had opened.

As he walked, he sorted out the logic of the game in his mind.

The resurrection game is nested by three bureaus.

The maze of Charge Royale, the fairy tale banquet and the infinitely smaller room of Zeno's paradox.

And how to properly connect these three bureaus?

Chu Tu narrowed his eyes.

The maze and the infinitely smaller rooms are nested, that is, the last section of the maze is composed of infinitely smaller rooms, which is the most obvious layer of relationship.

The relationship between the maze and the fairy tale banquet is probably that the place where the banquet is held is the maze.

In this way, the remaining relationship is the relationship between fairy tales and infinitely smaller rooms.

Chu Tu has no clue about the relationship between the two, but he has ideas and methods.

Pea had been lying in Chutu's pocket for so long, pretending to be dead. At this moment, the world was spinning suddenly. Looking again, she had been caught in the palm of this hateful human being.

"Don't pretend to be dead, just say something."

"Sentence." Pea was very cooperative.

Chu Tu: "..."

Peas: "QWQ"

Chu Tu: "Tell me, who went to the banquet?"

Pea: "How can I finish this? Everyone in the fairy tale world will go, like Alice, Gulliver and so on."

Chu Tu thought for a while, and continued to ask: "How long will the banquet start? Where did these people come from?"

"They live in all directions of the maze." Pea said, "The banquet has already started, but every banquet always has some accidents, so people often come out."

accident?

Chu Tu remembered something: "Hai's daughter disappeared during this banquet?"

"How do you know?" Pea was surprised.

Chu Tu asked: "What kind of banquet is this banquet? Why did Hai's daughter disappear?"

"This is Little Quinn's birthday party. Girls who are about the same age as Little Quinn were arranged to sit together. Hai's daughter is the best singer* among the girls, and she has always been very proud. But last time Little Quinn said that her mother's Hearts choir sang better than her, so the two of them agreed to let the Hearts choir show off to Hai's daughter at Little Quinn's birthday party. But for some reason, Hearts Someone in the choir was missing, and the performance was over, and Hai’s daughter was angry, thinking that Little Quinn was deliberately humiliating her, because she was jealous of her singing well.”

Chu Tu listened and felt something was wrong.

"Wait," Chutu said, "Who is Little Quinn from a fairy tale? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Pea should be rolling her eyes at this time: "Her mother is the Queen of Hearts."

Chu Tu: "..."

It turns out that the little "Quinn" sounds the same as "little queen", which means little queen.

For the first time, he knew that the group of dumb playing cards belonging to the Queen of Hearts belonged to the choir.

It seems that it was not an accident that Hai's daughter misunderstood, and Little Quinn was indeed humiliating Hai's daughter.

The missing members of the "chorus"... Well, the 3 of hearts is probably caught in his notebook by Shang Huannian.

Chutu's head got bigger.He still didn't understand the connection between the fairy tale and the infinitely smaller room.

When it comes to fairy tales about becoming bigger and smaller, the first thing Chutu thinks of is Gulliver*, but it doesn't seem to help his current situation.

Is there any big story about that?

If they get bigger, bigger and taller than these rooms, can they break through the constraints of space in the room and avoid shrinking with the room?

At this moment, Pea suddenly said: "Those girls are all looking for Hai's daughter now, and they are probably wandering around here."

Those girls?

Chutu thought of the rabbit he met at the beginning.This can't be a girl, can it?

So he asked Pea, "Who else is there besides these girls?"

Pea said, "There are also servants of these girls."

"Who's servant has a rabbit in it?"

Pea thought for a long time: "Probably Alice."

Alice!

Chu Tu suddenly understood: "Did Alice bring any cake?"

In the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice can grow bigger by eating cakes!

Pea was surprised: "How did you know that Alice brought the cake? But the person who delivered the cake was lazy - the lazy egg had been eaten by the rabbit - the lazy egg put the cake on the edge of the maze, and then walked away by himself They lost it. Originally they wanted to find someone to fetch the cake, but Hai’s daughter got angry and ran away, and everyone forgot about the cake.”

Chutu's heart was beating wildly.

He remembered what Holy City said when he read the rules at the beginning of the resurrection game.

"For the sake of fairness, everyone is currently randomly distributed on the outer edge of the circular holy city."

For the sake of fairness.

If the cakes are in their "birthplace" at the beginning, and different people are randomly refreshed to different places on the edge, then in order to be fair, should these cakes be evenly distributed on the edge?This is fair to different people.

Chutu could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

This game is over!

His movements quickened, and he ran back like crazy.

Suddenly, a mirror appeared in front of him!

Push away this mirror and you can go back to Wanhua Corridor!

Chu Tu didn't stop, and rushed back to the Wanhua corridor.

Enter Wanhua Corridor again, this time, Chu Tu has eyesight.He couldn't help closing his eyes.

Wanhua Corridor, as its name suggests, the floor, walls, and ceiling are all mirrors, just like the inside of Wanhua Mirror.All of a sudden, such a layered appearance appeared, Chu Tu was shocked and closed his eyes subconsciously.

"Brother, brother, where are you now?"

Shang Huannian's voice came from the mirror.

Chu Tu hadn't opened his eyes yet: "I'm back at the Wanhua Corridor. You're right, the resurrection game has to find a way out of the rules."

Shang Huannian didn't reply him.

The air was eerily quiet.

Chu Tu was a little puzzled, opened his eyes slightly, and looked at the mirror next to him.

Shang Huan Niandai stood there, wanting to say something, but it seemed difficult to speak.

"what happened?"

Shang Huannian's voice was serious, deep and slightly trembling: "Brother, do you know what you look like now?"

"Now? What's the matter?"

Chu Tu was puzzled after hearing this sentence, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the mirror in other directions.This mirror is used as a communication medium, Chutu can only see the image of Shang Huannian, but he can see himself in the other mirror.

After a sudden look, he didn't find anything wrong.However, now with a skeptical look, Chu Tu suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Cold sweat dripped down his back in an instant.

He got smaller.

Now he is only fifteen or sixteen years old at most.

"How could this be?" Chu Tu asked in a daze.He originally thought that he already knew what this game was all about, but why did a new situation arise?

Shang Huannian asked anxiously: "Do you know what the background of this game is?"

"The escape maze, the birthday party of the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, the infinitely shrinking room, and Alice's enlarged cake..." When Chu Tu said these things, his voice became weaker and weaker.

Shang Huannian asked him to explain the matter clearly, and after listening to Chu Tu's reasoning, he fell silent.

"When you entered the Wanhua Corridor for the first time just now, your appearance was normal." Shang Huannian said, "But why did you become like this when you came here for the second time?"

"Maybe it's not because of the Wanhua corridor. When I was in those rooms, it might have started to change. Why was it normal when I passed by for the first time, but it became like this when I came out of the room?"

Shang Huannian was silent for a while, his voice hoarse: "Do you know the connection between the Queen of Hearts and Alice?"

Chu Tu was taken aback.

Shang Huannian said: "The background story here is not a simple fairy tale banquet. Nor are two characters such as the Queen of Hearts and Alice randomly selected from so many fairy tales and fables as special NPCs. There is a connection between them. .”

Chutu said, "You mean..."

"A few years after "Alice in Dreams" was published, the author published its sister volume "Alice's Adventures in Looking-Glass", in which there is the Red Queen. I think the Red Queen and the so-called Red Queen are the same The same person." Shang Huannian said.

The two of them were separated by a layer of mirrors, and when they mentioned terms like "Adventures in the Mirror", they couldn't help but make people creepy.But it is true. Compared with Shang Huannian in the mirror, Chu Tu is indeed experiencing a strange adventure.

"The Red Queen Hypothesis*..." Chu Tu closed his eyes.

He seemed to have sunk into cold water in an instant, and his whole body was icy cold.

It was too late when he realized he should go back.He may not be able to return to the place where he started.

In 1973, American biologist Van Valen proposed the Red Queen hypothesis based on Darwin's theory of evolution.This hypothesis borrows a line from Alice Through the Looking-Glass: "You have to keep running to stay in place."

Later, this statement was developed by some sociologists into social Darwinism, which roughly means that a person is like sailing against the current in society, and if he does not advance, he will retreat.Only when you work hard and move forward with all your strength, can you stay where you are and not be eliminated by society.

Assuming that the forward speed of all players in this maze is an average value, then only if it is equal to the average forward speed, the combat effectiveness will not degrade.If they stay in place or slow down, their combat effectiveness will be subtly weakened.Not to mention that Chutu walked back like this, his combat power was estimated to be almost reduced to a negative value, and it showed that his body was slowly degrading.

Chu Tu didn't know which one was more degraded, going back or staying in place, but it was very possible that when he was going back, he would meet someone who hadn't advanced in the first place, and he would have to catch him without a fight.

Even if he meets no one along the way and finds the cake, will he still have the ability to resist the fairy tale monster to reach the center and find the treasure?

The method of customs clearance is in the place where you were born at the beginning, unless you ate or held the cake in a daze when you didn't know anything at the beginning, if you find the truth and want to go back, the speed of other people's progress will be Deadly poison to the sane.

You have to keep running forward to stay in place.

============================

1*The daughter of the sea is the best singer: In Greek mythology, the siren mermaid lures sailors with her singing and then eats them.The siren's singing is extremely beautiful and full of temptation in the legend.This is grafted on the story of the daughter of the sea. Also as a mermaid, her singing voice is extremely beautiful and dangerous.

2* Gulliver: Gulliver's Travels, tells the story of Gulliver's straying into the villain's country.

3* Red Queen Hypothesis: Van Valen's Red Queen Hypothesis was widely spread with the support of Social Darwin.The author knows that many people on the Internet agree with this view of natural selection, but I have reservations. It is not convenient to talk about it here. It is simply used as a setting of the game, and there is no deeper meaning.
