On the Feasibility of Dueling with the System

In the middle of the night, Qin Zhan woke up from his dream and sat up abruptly.Yuan Xitong was startled awake by his movement, quickly jumped down from the accompanying bed, and turned on the small lamp on the bedside table, "Ah Zhan, what's the matter, did you have a nightmare? Is it still uncomfortable?"

Qin Zhan turned his head and stared at him without turning his eyes. His faint gaze made Yuan Xitong's hair stand on end. He stammered and asked, "Azhan, you, you... what—"

Qin Zhan: "It's okay." After finishing speaking, he lay back on the bed with a rub.

Yuan Xitong reached out and touched his forehead, it was quite normal, and then looked at his complexion, after a few days of recuperation, Qin Zhan regained a lot of fat after recuperating, and his face also looked rosy, not like he was sick.

He turned off the light, climbed back to the bed softly, bent his legs and tried to curl up to fit the not too big size of the accompanying bed.

The night returned to calm again. Qin Zhan opened his eyes in the darkness, recalling the unbelievable dream he had just now, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Are those... are they dreams or memories?

After getting up the next day, Qin Zhan went down to the garden as usual after having breakfast, put his crutches aside and limped to practice walking.He didn't want anyone to help him, Yuan Xitong had no choice but to follow behind him, for fear that he would accidentally fall and hurt himself.

With the increase of the sun, from nine o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the noon, Qin Zhan walked out of a sweaty body. He was a little tired, but his steps were much smoother, and the pain when each step landed was not so obvious. .

After twelve o'clock, the two walked back to the ward. Qin Zhan went to the bathroom to scrub briefly. When he came out, Yuan Xitong had already prepared all the meals, four dishes and one soup.Qin Zhan glanced at it. The four dishes were relatively light dishes such as vegetables and lean meat. The soup was thick white and delicious sea bass soup. They were all foods that were good for bone injuries. It could be seen that Yuan Xitong It was also a pain in the ass.

He sat at the dining table with a bowl of hot fish soup in front of him. He inadvertently caught sight of the hot oil burns on Yuan Xitong's arm opposite him. Qin Zhan paused and said, "Actually You don't have to—"

"It's okay," Yuan Xitong knew what Qin Zhan was going to say, he put down the bowl, with a smile in his eyes, "I'm willing to do this."

Qin Zhan was unmoved, and continued to finish the sentence, "Yuan Xitong, you don't have to do this, after all, we have broken up."

"We didn't break up!" Yuan Xitong denied quickly, but his expression could not hide his panic. He forced a smile, put a piece of fish in his bowl, "Let's not talk about this now, Ah Zhan, I have something to leave the hospital After a while, it won't be long, and I'll be back before three o'clock. You eat lunch first, and put the dishes and chopsticks away, and I'll clean up when I come back."

Yuan Xitong got up to leave, Qin Zhan stirred the soup in the bowl, and said in a neutral tone, "Next time you don't have to cook, the VIP ward provides three meals a day, so you don't have to worry about it."

"It's not troublesome." Yuan Xitong whispered, "Ah Zhan, you didn't think it was troublesome to take care of me before, but now I don't think it's troublesome."

"You also said it was before," Qin Zhan smiled, "I loved you before, so naturally I would do everything willingly. But what about you? Yuan Xitong, you don't love me."

"I never don't love you," Yuan Xitong gritted his teeth, "A Zhan, I never don't love you. Although I realized it too late, but fortunately, you are still alive, and I am still alive, and everything is still alive. In time."

Qin Zhan almost didn't directly write the three big characters of'don't believe' on his face. He chuckled, "What about your senior? Can you really let it go?"

Yuan Xitong turned around and looked at him seriously, "Ah Zhan, there is nothing I can't let go of now except you. I don't care about work, house, property."

"..."

Qin Zhan is sure that now his face is written with three big characters of 'do not believe'.

"But now I don't love you," he said, every word, "not at all."

Yuan Xitong's expression didn't change at all, although his entire face was pale and bloodless, and his thin lips that were tightly pursed turned pale and cold.

His chest rose and fell violently, and a forced and calm smile appeared on his face, "It's okay, it's enough for me to love you."

"You don't have to do anything, you don't have to respond to anything, Azhan, I just want you to have a good life."

Yuan Xitong spoke affectionately, but Qin Zhan's expression was still cold, he was not in the mood to entangle any longer, and said lightly, "It's up to you."

Yuan Xitong was not disappointed, on the contrary he was quite relieved, no matter what, this incident was finally revealed temporarily.

After he left, Qin Zhan ate lunch with gusto by himself. Since waking up, his energy and physical strength have been very good, and the nap he was used to is no longer needed.The left and right were also idle, so he took a book and went to wander in the garden, but today he didn't wait for the Alaska from yesterday, but he waited for a self-acquainted young man named Mo Jia.

...This name is really stupid, is it different from being called Jia Mo directly?

Qin Zhan held back the speechlessness and contempt in his eyes, and put on a puzzled look on his face, "Sir, do we know each other?"

"We...uh..." Jia Mo didn't expect Qin Zhan to ask such a direct question. He froze for a moment, rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile, "That day... well, that day I raised an Alaskan accidentally. It ran out, and the nurse said that she saw you staying with it, so I wanted to ask you if you know where it went?"

"I don't know." Qin Zhan also looked at him with a smile, "So sir, I don't know you, can you go?"

Gamo: "..."

He looked at his clothes depressedly, "I don't look like a bad guy, do I?"

After transforming into a human form, although Jiamo's appearance is not outstanding, he still looks like a human being. His facial features are handsome, and the deep facial contour makes him look a bit more handsome than a half-race.And because he was going to see Qin Zhan today, Jia Mo dressed up specially, wearing khaki slim-fit trousers, a light blue striped shirt, a dark blue vest of the same color, and a purple diamond-shaped plaid tie. The satin waistcoat looks snug and fitted.Although the sapphire blue diamond stud on his right ear makes him look less serious than a successful man in a suit and tie, but at least he is not a wretched person that people are afraid to avoid, right?

"But I really don't know you." Qin Zhan spread his hands innocently.

This reason is powerless to refute, Jiamo glanced at him wrongedly, "I - well...but you already know my name now, don't you still know me?"

"Oh, let's call it acquaintance for the time being." After teasing enough, Qin Zhan smiled and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Mo, my name is Qin Zhan."

Qin Zhan... The smile of the person in front of him was very bright in the sunlight, and Jia Mo suddenly became a little dazed. How long has it been since he called him by his first and last name like this?

But... Forget it, since he was able to successfully become the closest person to the Tsundere Host back then, even if everything is overturned and started all over again, he will definitely be able to succeed again!

"Okay, Qin Zhan. My name is Jia...uh, Mo Jia, nice to meet you." Jia Mo said, holding Qin Zhan's hand naturally and calmly. The soft and delicate touch made him feel both novel and nostalgic. After all, he always appeared in the form of various animals before, even if he was held in Qin Zhan's arms, he had never been so skin-to-skin as he is now.

From that day on, Jia Mo was the most diligent person who came to visit him. He came almost every day. If Qin Zhan didn't go to the garden because of trouble, Jia Mo would go to the ward to find him.Apart from Gamo, Oliver is the second most diligent. In a harmonious society like the Celestial Dynasty, whether it is the Green Arrow as a vigilante or the professional hero system, it is obviously of little use.So he ran to Qin Zhan twice in three days, not to mention that during the time he was Green Arrow, injuries were commonplace for Oliver, ranging from gunshot wounds and fractures to bruises and dislocations. And recovery is very good.

So Yuan Xitong could only be forced to retreat to the second line, sitting next to him and staring at Oliver half-kneeling in front of Qin Zhan, gently supporting his injured right leg and teaching him how to move to help his bone recovery.I don't know whether Oliver's method is really effective or Qin Zhan's physique is so good. After more than a week, he can walk normally, and finally he doesn't have to limp down the stairs.

Now that his body has fully recovered, Qin Zhan thought about leaving the hospital as soon as possible.Recently, there are more and more people with fever in the hospital, like severe flu, even the VIP ward and isolation area are crowded with people.After he woke up from the car accident, he spent nearly half a month in the hospital and never went out of the door. He only watched the specific situation of the flu on the TV news.Although the authorities tried their best to refute the rumors of various viruses and appease the masses, the hospital was becoming more and more chaotic every day. There were medical staff running around in a hurry in the corridor every minute. The wailing of celebrities.

This chaotic situation continued until one afternoon, when the door of Qin Zhan's ward was suddenly slapped hard, and when he turned his head, he saw a bloody handprint appeared on the glass on the door, and the screams of the patients outside continued. Incessantly passed into the ear.

Qin Zhan put down the newspaper in his hand and walked over. Yuan Xitong stepped forward to lock the door first, and Oliver followed him with a fruit knife in his right hand.

Standing behind the door, Qin Zhan cautiously looked out through the glass. There was a large area of ​​blood on the wall of the corridor. The patient who had slapped on the door earlier clung to the ear of a doctor. The strong security guard wanted to pull him away, but when he exerted force on his hand, the patient was pulled away, but the doctor's ear also left where it should be, and blood gushed out instantly.

This horror movie-like scene made Qin Zhan get goosebumps all over his body. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many people in the ward now, he would almost want the system to take out the gun from his backpack for self-defense.

As for how to know the existence of the system backpack, you have to thank the dreams that have appeared intermittently since waking up.

That day he recalled the past in his dream—in fact, it is inappropriate to say that he recalled, because Qin Zhan was watching everything like an outsider, without the slightest sense of being there.Until he met Oliver and Jiamo one after another, as their interactions increased, the knowledge and feelings of the people in the dream returned to Qin Zhan's body bit by bit.Now that he thinks about those things again, he really has the feeling of memories, and various emotions such as sadness and joy are gradually full, instead of just watching a movie like watching a movie.

Just as Qin Zhan was thinking about it, there was a soft bang in the ward, and the three of them were startled. Oliver, who had experienced many battles, subconsciously threw the fruit knife towards the source of the sound.

"Damn it!" Jiamo bent over in embarrassment, flung himself into the room through the window, rolled his eyes at Oliver, and yelled angrily, "What kind of plane are you doing?! Murder? !"

Oliver withdrew his hand and smiled at him apologetically, "Sorry, it's just a reflex."

Qin Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Why are you here? Besides, the hospital doesn't have a gate, so why open the windows?"

Jiamo argued, "Ah Zhan, you have been in the hospital for so long, and you don't hear what is going on outside the window. I don't know what's going on outside. I'd rather go through the window than go through the front door."

Qin Zhan was taken aback when he heard that, "What's the matter, what happened outside?"

"Have you seen Resident Evil?" Jia Mo winked at him, "Now is the early stage of that situation, referred to as the bad omen."

"...Then why is it still so chaotic outside?" Qin Zhan was puzzled, "If a disaster really broke out, didn't the government send people to quarantine?"

Gamo: "...Don't you know that in every horror movie with ghosts, there is always a blind passer-by who doesn't believe and laughs at the protagonist who has hit a ghost; naturally, in the same way, there are always There will be blind 'somebody' who thinks the situation is within their control."

Qin Zhan: "..."

It seemed so reasonable, but he was speechless.

"Then what should we do now?" Qin Zhan asked, he knew that there were many weapons in the system's backpack, but because Yuan Xitong was present, he didn't know whether he could expose the existence of the system now.

Jiamo looked around, paused on Yuan Xitong, then moved away as if nothing had happened, and finally landed on Qin Zhan.

"The people here are not outsiders, they are all grasshoppers on the same rope. You can say what you have to say, there is no need to hide it."

Jia Mo grinned, Qin Zhan blinked, this... means you can say anything?

The four of them exchanged glances silently, and Yuan Xitong spoke first, "I have hoarded a lot of supplies, including water and food, and they are in the residential building near the hospital."

Oliver went on to say: "I have a mission to stop the situation from getting worse."

Both of them looked very calm, without any surprise, Qin Zhan squinted and asked, "That is to say, you all know what will happen next?"

The two nodded silently.

Qin Zhan raised his forehead, no wonder Yuan Xitong refused to let him leave the hospital early, it turns out that the outside is much more dangerous than the hospital.

"Well, I actually remembered everything I should remember a week ago." He confessed for the third time.

Under Qin Zhan's impeccable "amnesia stalk" acting skills before, the power of this sentence is not as powerful as the atomic bomb explosion. Jiamo's eyes widened instantly, and Yuan Xitong also looked up at him suddenly. Oliver looked at this and then that, and got up consciously to avoid, "I'll go to the outer hall to drink water, you guys chat." Fortunately, the VIP ward of this hospital is not bad, not only divided into two parts: ward and outer hall, the door of the room The sound insulation effect is also very good. If it is not as loud as the group of lunatics outside, the noise is generally inaudible.

As soon as Oliver left, Jiamo immediately ran to Qin Zhan and sat down, holding his face in disbelief and reconfirming, "Ah Zhan, do you really remember everything? We remember all the things we have experienced before. ?”

Qin Zhan explained, "I only remembered it later, not from the beginning."

Yuan Xitong sat silently in the corner, his pale complexion was even more bleak by the afterglow of the setting sun.

After hearing what he said, Jia Mo immediately became happy, but Qin Zhan was a little absent-minded, and soon broke free from his hand and stood up, "You sit here first, I have something to do, go out and find Oliver."

"Hey - Ah Zhan -!!"

Jiamo stared aggrievedly, and turned his head to see the expressionless Yuan Xitong, who was even more angry, and yelled, "Look at what to look at! Don't fucking think about Ah Zhan, even if this There is no one else in the world, and he will never be with you again!"

Yuan Xitong glanced at Jia Mo, and said in a calm tone, "What does this have to do with you?"

The other party's understated tone gave Jiamo a feeling of aggrieved punching the cotton, he straightened his back not to be outdone, and sneered, "I am the closest person to Ah Zhan, I know everything about him, And my whole being belongs to him, why has nothing to do with me?"

The other party's tone was full of showing off and complacency, Yuan Xitong pursed her lips, clenched her fists forbearance, and did not speak.

Jiamo snorted, and puffed out his chest like a villain.

In the outer hall, Qin Zhan took an apple from the fruit plate and sat next to Oliver, "Do you want to eat it? I just washed it."

"Thank you." Oliver smiled, picked up a fruit knife and peeled the apple, "Qin, what's the matter?"

Qin Zhan expressed his intentions, "Oliver, did your... system give any prompts?"

"No," Oliver said, while cutting the peeled and smooth apple in half, and handing half to Qin Zhan, "Actually, strictly speaking, this is not a task. The system says it is just an adaptation stage. It is said that it is for ...Cultivate my ability to deal with emergencies?" He frowned in confusion, "To be honest, it's the first time I've seen a creature like a zombie, so how to stop me is really...inexperienced..." Said After finishing, Oliver sighed melancholy.

Qin Zhan gnawed on the apple depressedly. He would also watch American dramas when he was bored in the hospital, but the two seasons of Green Arrow that he had watched before encountering that horrible system were all gone. No matter where he could find it online, even There are no resources, as if this episode was filmed at all.

Such a coincidence made Qin Zhan involuntarily think a lot. Since this world is so easy to be tampered with, is it possible that he is not a real person, but just a plot character no different from Oliver.Just like the 'box theory' that was once popular on the Internet, does this world really exist?What is outside the world (outside the universe)?Maybe it's a computer, maybe their whole universe is just another species' dream, maybe...they're just some creature in a box.

Not to mention what shitty biochemical crisis is happening now, if it is just a mutation caused by a virus, then there may be a possibility of recovery and reconstruction; but if it is some kind of cosmic XXX material radiation, unless Superman is reborn, how can they survive?

Qin Zhan tried to use his consciousness to communicate with the system as before, but probably because the task had been completed, the system was not bound to him, so he didn't get any response.

The more he thought about it, the more pessimistic he became. Qin Zhan threw away the core irritably, and turned around to see Oliver gnawing on the apple with the same dull expression. Obviously, he was also in a trance, and half of the apple was gnawed off, even the stem in the middle , the corner of Qin Zhan's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to pinch the core, "Apple's—" Before he finished speaking, Oliver bit his finger before he could stop.

When their eyes met, both of them were taken aback, Oliver hurriedly let go, looked at him in embarrassment, and looked at him, "so, sorry... I was thinking about something just now, and my mind was distracted."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Zhan touched his nose, threw the fruit core into the trash can, and took out a facial tissue to wipe his hands.However, the little accident that seemed so ambiguous just now caused the two of them to fall into a kind of bewildered silence at the same time.After a long silence, Oliver cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Well, Qin, do you have any plans?"

"Is there a plan... I think we should go back to City S first." Qin Zhan said hesitantly, City S is the city where he and Yuan Xitong live and work, and this is just a small city he randomly chose when he came out to relax. "City S is a first-tier city with a developed economy and the sea in the east. It's easier to go by air or by water."

"Alright," Oliver nodded in agreement, "Check online later to see if there are plane tickets or train tickets, and leave as soon as possible before the situation is too chaotic."

Afterwards, Yuan Xitong bought the earliest train station ticket online at 06:30 tomorrow morning.

However, no one thought that the complete eruption of the disaster happened overnight.

It was not the alarm clock that woke Qin Zhan up, but three or four bloody zombies who broke into the door.

The zombie closest to Qin Zhan was shot in the head by Oliver, and the spurt of blood stunned him on the spot, and Jia Mo yelled at the top of his ear, "Hurry up! What are you waiting for? Please fill up the gas!" Drive at high speed!!!!”

The author has something to say:

As a Hu Jianren, I decided to change my name to be called Fuli→→Inspired by @左费荡

I went to see The Mermaid today, it was great, sure enough, if Deng Chao doesn’t act in some boring comedy, it’s still very interesting~ I’m going to watch The Wind and Cloud 3 of Macau before school starts, has any little angel watched it, is it good?

ps: The box theory comes from "Infinite Horror", Du Niang explains it as follows↓

Suppose one day people create a super-intelligent computer, and a scientific madman just happens to develop another program that can accurately imitate human thinking, and he does not realize that he is just a program, He thought he was a person, and gradually this computer developed into a program that simulated the world, in which various humans and species were formed, and had independent thinking, and then one of the creatures (maybe human, maybe other species) made computers (or something like that) and they also started working on thought programs and artificial intelligence (or other intelligences), but they were always beings in boxes (computers) and they may not know it, they may know it Just a program.Again, reasoning out, what about us?Do we really exist?What is beyond us (outside the universe)?Maybe it's a computer, maybe our entire universe is just another species' dream, and we, too, are creatures in a "box."This is the box theory.

To put it simply, we may be a program or a species in a computer. This computer is a layer of boxes, and this box can also be said to be our world.

It roughly means that the manipulator of the human world, that is, the so-called God created the current world, and we are the creations in this world box.Afterwards, it roughly evolved into two theories.One of them is MATRIX, which is the Matrix. The theory is that human beings have developed robots, and then developed intelligent robots (AI-ROBOT). Intelligent robots in turn dominate human beings, confining human beings to a fantasy world, all five senses Analog... this is the box.
