infinite maze

Hearing this, Lu Sanxian's expression fluctuated slightly, but after a short struggle, his mouth was still tightly closed, as if he was beaten to death.

Mei Ziyi sighed, "Professor Lu, or the only passer in this world other than me, how long have you been in this world?"

Lu Sanxian was slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect Mei Ziyi to notice this so quickly.

"Are you surprised? After all, when I enter this maze, the only person I really see is you. There are only two of us in this world. That is to say, if you kill each other, the mortality rate can reach 50%, and then trigger the door to pass the level. I don’t blame you for being so tempted. And I probably know the way to pass the level.”

Hearing this, Lu Sanxian finally collapsed, "Impossible! I have been here for almost ten years and I don't know! You have only been here for two days, why?"

"This is my sixth theme maze." Mei Ziyi said flatly.

Lu Sanxian, who had cleared more than 100 theme mazes, was stunned, then looked at Mei Ziyi with a monster-like gaze, and grinned after a long time, "You, like that person, are born monsters and do not belong to this world."

"Who?" Mei Zi didn't mind Lu Sanxian's evaluation, but was rather curious about that person.

"It's the person who hangs around this apartment at the beginning of every month, and he showed up last night." Lu Sanxian moved back and leaned on the sofa to relax himself. "What is the key? I have been looking for it for ten years, and this world is gradually losing its appeal to me. I can't hold on for long."

"Then tell me about this world. In exchange, I'll tell you the key." Mei Ziyi is easy to talk, which makes Lu Sanxian feel hopeful, but he is also very vigilant, afraid that Mei Ziyi will not know the clues to clear the level , At this time, he was just defrauding himself, and then extracting clues from the information he said.

"Don't you know everything? Need I tell you?"

"Although I have guessed, there is always a difference between guessing and personal experience." Mei Ziyi did have some guesses from the clues of the past two days, but she hasn't had time to confirm it.

Hearing this, Lu Sanxian became even more vigilant. He was afraid of history repeating itself, and he should not be able to bear the next ten years and would collapse. "I'll tell you a clue about this world, and you tell me a clue about customs clearance. That's only fair."

Mei Ziyi laughed, and her tone was almost indifferent, "You are fair to me in your current state? Is it because I seem to have a particularly good temper and I don't seem to be able to kill people?"

Lu Sanxian was silent again, he was weighing the pros and cons, and it took him a long time to relax, "It's not that you have a good temper, but that you don't care about anything. And for me, if I can't clear the level, life will be meaningless to me. People always pursue what they can’t get. Once they get it, they no longer cherish it. The living people long for eternal life. Once people really realize eternal life, living will become unnecessary. I want to know the truth. Even die for it."

To put it simply, if he couldn't let him know the truth, he would rather die like this, and there was no possibility of compromise in the stubborn eyes.

After finishing speaking, Lu Sanxian spoke first, "This world is a cycle every month, and the time will always cycle from December 2045st to December 12st, 1. The first few days of each month are the calmest, and the more difficult it becomes , Power outages, water, food rotting rapidly, monsters rampant, storms, blizzards, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, various natural disasters continue, except for the clearer's room, there is a possibility of death in other places at any time."

After speaking, Lu Sanxian looked at Mei Ziyi quietly, waiting for his response.

Mei Ziyi also had guesses about the situation that Lu Sanxian said, but he didn't have such details, and he didn't know the cycle of a month. He only guessed the general trend of power outages, material shortages, and increased danger in the future through Lu Sanxian's actions. "Consciousness determines the world."

Lu Sanxian's eyes lit up immediately, he seemed to finally believe that Mei Ziyi had really touched the clue to clear the level, so he spoke again, this time taking the initiative a lot, "Yes, the biggest difference between this world and the real world It is consciousness, which sounds extremely wonderful, just like dreaming, you just need to think about it, but the scary thing is that people cannot keep themselves dreaming, and compared to beautiful dreams, nightmares are more impressive, nightmares The things created are also more powerful and terrifying!"

"People have an absolutely safe place in their hearts. Usually, this place is their own home, so the house of the passer-by is the safe house of this world. As long as you don't take the initiative to open the door to invite, things created by consciousness cannot enter. Of course , this is not absolute. With the deepening of fear, one day, you will feel that your house is not safe, then this safe house will not exist, that is to say, the duration of the safe house in this world is determined by Consciousness determines."

I don't know what to recall, Lu Sanxian's expression became a little more fearful, and he continued, "When I first came to this world, I didn't know these rules. At that time, there were more than two passers here, but gradually, the passers-by Most of them are killed by other people's consciousness or their own consciousness, and only a few can pass the level. Fear is contagious. When everyone falls into panic, people become monster-making machines, even this one The machine cannot control itself. The passers have to kill each other, not only to trigger the pass gate, but also to reduce the output of monsters, fight with passers, fight with monsters, fight with natural disasters, fight with yourself, you can imagine Is that a scene more terrifying than the end?"

Speaking of this, Lu Sanxian suddenly stopped, then staggered and struggled to stand up, rushed to the window to check the scene outside, and was relieved when he found that there was no terrible scene outside, but after a while, the whole person seemed like He giggled nervously.

After the laughter, Lu Sanxian looked at Mei Ziyi, "It's your turn."

Mei Ziyi also looked out of the window, seeing that there was no particularly changing scene outside, coupled with Lu Sanxian's reaction just now, gradually verified her guess, "My consciousness has surpassed yours to control the world, right?"

Lu Sanxian's pupils shrank, "So, you are a monster!" He couldn't remember how much time he had guessed that consciousness determines the world, and how much time he had spent using consciousness to change the world.

"I saw the answer in advance. I have investigated you in reality and know that you mainly study myths and legends, unsolved mysteries, and the moon. So when I saw the dragon in the sky for the first time, I felt something was wrong. , I also saw the urban legend of the Seven in your research materials. But the real certainty is the phoenix that suddenly appeared during the day."

At that time, the situation was critical, and Mei Ziyi had a very strong sense of survival. When she saw a dragon, she subconsciously thought of a phoenix, and the phoenix happened to be an existence in myths and legends. the emergence of.But Lu Sanxian's overall consciousness at that time was obviously clearer, so in the end the phoenix disappeared, and the black dragon came to the apartment building where Mei Ziyi lived at night, also because Lu Sanxian was motivated to kill.

"You can't completely control your consciousness, otherwise you don't need to kill me directly. You are afraid of the products created by consciousness. Ten years have already worn away your sense of security. You have long since lost your sense of security. A sense of belonging, that’s why I directed and performed the explosion myself, and created the explosion, the sound of conversation upstairs, and the sound of footsteps with my consciousness. Then I lived in my safe house logically, and then just control me and prevent me from If the house loses its sense of security, this safe house will not disappear.” During the explosion, Mei Ziyi only heard the voices of people, but did not see anyone, and the subsequent fire was extinguished inexplicably, and Lu Sanxian also said that the passers-by killed each other dictate.

Lu Sanxian nodded and admitted, "The consciousness here is not the simple consciousness you understand, but the subconscious, which is a very unpredictable and difficult to control thing, just like sometimes we know that we are dreaming, but we still control it." No dreams, just like sometimes you tell yourself not to be afraid, not to think wildly, but all kinds of horrible scenes will keep appearing in your mind, controlling consciousness is far more difficult than you imagined. "

"As for subconsciousness, although it is difficult for me to control it, I can hypnotize others to control it." Lu Sanxian was naturally referring to last night, when Mei Ziyi saw the red ghost and the giant dragon, she subconsciously felt fear. At that time, Lu Sanxian was there The side reminded him that those things couldn't get in. Although Lu Sanxian was afraid, after telling Mei Ziyi, Mei Ziyi believed it, so those monsters really couldn't get in. "People are really strange creatures. It's not easy to trust yourself, but it's easy to trust others. According to my plan, we could have stayed in this safe house for a long time, and there are enough supplies to wait until the restart next month, and I will use this period Time to find the pass key."

"So, you found the door to clear the level?" Mei Ziyi noticed that Lu Sanxian's focus had been on the key to clear the level, not the door.

Lu Sanxian choked for a moment, knowing that he had been exposed unintentionally, but he still didn't give up, and asked instead, "Where do you think the door to pass the customs is?"

Meizi pointed out the window, the night sky was covered by dark clouds, it was pitch black, "the back side of the moon." In the real world, Lu Sanxian is obsessed with studying the moon, and he is the same in this world.

Being hit to the point in an instant, Lu Sanxian felt a little depressed, but soon, his eyes became wild, "That's right! It's on the moon, you know? The moon is like a well-designed I dreamed about it one day! No! I saw it! There is a door on the back of the moon! A very tall door! The door to pass is in the sky! Up there!"
