- tuk tuk tuk.

The black-haired young man leaning on the edge of the window hinge and looking into the distance heard the knock on the door, his eyelashes fluttered, and he looked up at the door:

"Please come in."

The unlocked door was quickly pushed open, revealing half of the girl's head.

Ye Xiaorou's eyes lit up: "Great! Brother Xu, you're finally back."

Xu Yang's expression softened: "Well...just as long as you're fine."

Ye Xiaorou hesitated to speak, the corners of her mouth gradually drooped, and her sweet voice became a little hoarse: "Qi Xiaofeng is... very bad. There is still no news from Miss Xiaoyu. Only 100 people are displayed on the ranking list. I can't find her name anywhere..."

Xu Yang frowned, lowered his head and turned on the phone, sliding to the chat interface with Qi Xiaofeng.

His avatar changed from a fat corgi to a black one.

Ye Xiaorou raised her head and forced a smile on her face: "Hey, don't think about it now, brother Xu, my brother asked me to come to you and discuss the future countermeasures."

-

When Xu Yang stepped into the public dining room, Marven Ye was sitting in his old seat, with his back facing the window, his back straight, his eyes through the lenses, staring at the computer screen in front of him without blinking.

Qi Xiaofeng fell to the side, playing games on his mobile phone with little interest, and he couldn't see anything wrong for a while.

He and Ye Xiaorou sat down one after another, and Ye Wenxuan looked up at them from under the glasses.

He pushed his glasses: "Countdown... did you see it?"

Xu Yang nodded: "Break time, one day."

"Really? Maybe it's because you completed the side quest and got extra bonus time. We only have half, twelve hours." Ye Wenxuan said.

Xu Yang raised his eyebrows.

Doesn't this mean that they have to enter the next copy immediately?

Marven Ye stood up from his strange-shaped portable computer:

"I think that this copy has a certain relationship with real time and space. Do you remember when you first saw the system prompt related to 'Ark's destruction'?"

Ye Xiaorou tilted her head: "Isn't it just after entering the dungeon? When standing on the edge of the chessboard."

Marven Ye shook his head and looked at Xu Yang.

"A little earlier." Xu Yang unconsciously tapped the table with his index finger, his memory running fast: "The first time I saw the system prompt this time was when I left the second copy, those two lines The words only appeared for a very short moment and then disappeared. Then, there will be a countdown of 'loading progress' from time to time. Qi Xiaofeng, did you see it?"

He looked at Qi Xiaofeng.

Qi Xiaofeng straightened up slowly, his voice slightly hoarse: "... When I released the dungeon, I didn't notice any new prompts, but later, I saw the 'loading progress' prompt several times one after another. I thought it was The hallucination after the dungeon..."

A moment of silence.

"I was thinking, what is the real 'Ark destroyed'." Ye Wenxuan said in a low voice.

Xu Yang nodded: "I have considered this too."

Ye Xiaorou asked strangely: "The so-called Ark, isn't that the big chessboard? I read it said so in the game analysis... There is also a final boss 'Geqi'? There is no one on the chessboard I am on." I've seen this character before."

"The ark does refer to the chessboard first."

Xu Yang said: "...Actually, during the preparation stage of this dungeon, I resisted the card's instructions and did not enter the dungeon immediately."

Ye Wenxuan's body shook, and his expression became serious: "And then?"

Xu Yang said: "I was in the Guanghua Hotel at the time, and I was planning to rescue Yin Chi. After I refused the summon, I saw that the time of the whole city stopped - people who have not entered the copy, and time stopped together. They can move Yes, just me and Yin Chi."

He swallowed the second half of the sentence.

——The only ones who can move are him, and Yin Chi's "men" who are locked in Lin Xu's sandbox.

"Later, when I bid farewell to Yin Chi, touched the card, and obeyed the call to enter the periphery of the chessboard, the Lucky Rat boss appeared. It stomped its feet, as if directly forcing people who were stationary on the ground into the chessboard inside."

Marven Ye pondered for a moment, then looked up at Xu Yang again:

"I should like to know what conclusions you have drawn from these clues."

Xu Yang lowered his gaze, letting the flickering pupils be covered by the thin eyelashes, his thoughts were constantly oscillating.

After a while, he slowly said: "Not only the inclusion relationship you suspected, but the whole world seems to have a hierarchical order, let me call it priority—"

"Priority?...The highest level is the person who has entered the instance?" Ye Xiaorou guessed.

"No, more than that, there is a sorting with a wider dimension."

Xu Yang recalled everything he experienced in the dungeon, and in the underground research center that flashed the chessboard, the projection screen that directly called up his data.

He remembered that Yin Chi said such a sentence at that time - "The depth of each copy is limited. This era is not based on information technology, so using a certain computer as a breakthrough, you can quickly connect to the outside world. .”

The "outside" of this dungeon, obviously, does not refer to reality.

Because, in his memory, he was never called "Xu Chaomu", nor did he "dead".

That's not his profile.

Xu Yang went on to say: "The highest priority should be the external system that controls the entire dungeon, let's call it 'outside'; secondly, the dungeon NPCs; thirdly, the environmental objects in the dungeon; and then, those of us who enter the dungeon Those who have passed through the dungeon; and then, those who have never entered the dungeon."

He paused: "There is also the lowest level, which is the...real world that remains outside the copy after being stopped."

Qi Xiaofeng frowned: "What do you mean? I don't understand."

A flash of understanding flashed in Ye Wenxuan's eyes, and he explained:

"In short, when the dungeon was opened, Xu Yang forcibly stayed in the real world by some means, and found that the dungeon system first recruited 'passers', and secondly recruited 'people who have never entered the dungeon' , in the end, only the empty city was left..."

He guessed: "...Is this a sort of importance? The real world is at the bottom?"

"Inside and outside." Xu Yang said softly.

"Inside...and outside?" Qi Xiaofeng said subconsciously: "Space?... What's wrong with it?"

Xu Yang said: "We always thought that we 'entered' the dungeon world... Maybe, we actually 'came out' of the dungeon world?"

This metaphor is already very obvious.

"'Exit'...the dungeon world?" Ye Xiaorou murmured, confusion and confusion flashed in her eyes: "You mean, the dungeon world is outside the real world?...Then where are we now? "

Xu Yang said in a low voice:

"Yeah, where are we? Since when did we come here..."
