Chapter 125 The Real Illusory World 16

Ba Yuan finally ordered a cup of oatmeal latte. He couldn't bear it, since he was a child.

After the waiter left with the menu, Ba Yuan coughed lightly, then looked around.

Miao Ying on the left has a rare look of loneliness, her eyes are lowered, as if she is staring at the patterns on the tablecloth, but in fact there is nothing; Thoughts.

Being handsome is taking advantage, and even being in a daze looks deeper than ordinary people.

Ba Yuan was thinking wildly, when suddenly he felt a chill all over his body, and when he looked up, he saw Gong Zijun glance at him indifferently.

"Then what?" Ba Yuan felt inexplicably guilty of spying on other people's territory and being caught on the spot, and said with a dry smile, "What's going on with us now?"

No one speaks.

Ba Yuan said again, "I just fell into an illusion... Uh, I think it should be an illusion, and it also modified part of my memory and cognition, so I didn't realize it was fake at first, until I found out that the people around me are actually ghosts. I came here after I killed them all. Are you too?"

Miao Ying cheered up and nodded, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, at least I am like this."

After a slight pause, Miao Ying showed a look of reminiscence, and then said again, "And when I was in the illusion, I didn't remember anything about the train at all, and I didn't recall it again until I sat here just now. But it's still missing Part of it—my memory stays as the train slows down and pulls into the station, I get up from my chair, the car stops, the door opens, and I'm about to get off. And then I'm consciously already in a hallucination, and then this is now."

Ba Yuan nodded again and again, expressing that he was the same. He was puzzled and said, "So what's going on? Why did the train erase our memory when we entered the dungeon? Is this part of the final assessment? What about the illusion? What's going on? Why do I feel that these two things don't seem to be related."

Fu Qitang thought of his own community, the bunker shrouded in the setting sun, and the delicious food that he could still savor, but shook his head slightly to express his disagreement.

"It may not be an illusion."

"Ah?" Ba Yuan wondered, "How to say?"

"Illusion is more about consciousness, but all of us appear out of thin air, not sitting here. This shows that before the 'pass', our bodies are actually there, not just consciousness. " Fu Qitang said, "And, do you still remember the reminder given by the train?"

"You mean the part about the 'initial world'?" Miao Ying immediately thought of the key point when he said that.

Fu Qitang nodded, "It said that it would take the player back to the original world before the final assessment, and it also verified everyone's information - the player was on the train from beginning to end, and it knew everything he had experienced. What kind of information is verified, it can only be before boarding the car."

"It's reading our memory and creating an illusion!" Ba Yuan reacted, "Uh, let's call that...that scene an illusion for the time being, for convenience."

At this time, Gong Zijun raised his hand on the table slightly, tapped his fingers in turn, and briefly prompted: "The name of the copy."

Although it was the final assessment, and the interval from the previous dungeon had changed from seven days to ten days, the process before getting off the car was the same as before.

The broadcast reminded that the train was about to arrive at the station, and the name of the instance and the name of the player were displayed on the screen in carriage 0. Although the memory after that was erased, the previous memory still existed.

"The real and illusory world! So what we just faced is a situation where real and illusory are intertwined? The real part is based on the elements generated from the player's memory, such as the places I stayed before and the friends I met, while the illusory part It's the horror plot fabricated by the train itself." Ba Yuan rushed to answer, then turned to Gong Zijun, and asked with a doggy face, "Brother Wolf, am I right?"

Really didn't want to recognize the outrageous and shameful title of "Brother Wolf", so Gong Zijun pretended not to hear it.

Brother Wolf's breeder Fu Qitang had no choice but to hold back a smile and take the initiative to answer, "It should be like this. Fatty, you are very smart."

"Hey, I'm overwhelmed, I'm just a little clever."

Just as he was talking, the waiter brought up the four ready-made drinks together, and the aroma of coffee immediately permeated the air.

Out of curiosity, Fu Qitang ordered a cup of American soy sauce, and after taking a sip, his expression became quite strange.

Moving a little closer in the direction of Gong Zijun, Fu Qitang handed him the cup in his hand, "Have a taste?"

Gong Zijun raised his eyebrows, "Not good?"

"It's not that bad, it's just that the taste is more subtle."

Gong Zijun lowered his head graciously and took a sip from the same straw. Fu Qitang looked at him with a smile, "How is it?"

As if seeing through his intentions, Gong Zijun's expression was a little helpless, and at the same time he said indulgently, "It's okay."

"Then let's change?" Although it was a question, Fu Qitang took away the cup of dirty coconut milk belonging to Gongzi County, "The traditional taste is more suitable for me."

Miao Ying and Ba Yuan looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little redundant.

After taking a sip of coffee to calm herself down, Miao Ying asked again, "So, is this the final assessment? Challenge the single-player survival mode under the condition that the memory is distorted and confused?"

Her tone was a little hesitant, and she obviously didn't believe in the kindness of the train, and she didn't believe that the so-called final assessment would be so simple.

Gong Zijun smiled lightly when he heard the words, and said in a flat tone: "Only those who appear here before the end of the countdown can really qualify for the exam."

Miao Ying blinked, but Ba Yuan hurriedly asked: "What do you mean? Isn't it 'the final assessment is in progress' now? Those who have cleared the last dungeon are naturally qualified. What real qualifications do we need to obtain?" ?”

"Don't forget the twelve hours of safety time." Fu Qitang said.

After the last round of dungeons, in addition to the clue that the player would return to the "initial world", the train also gave a reminder that before entering the final assessment, the player has [-] hours of absolute safety.

Looking at it now, the twelve hours refer to the twelve hours counted by the timer, or the twelve hours in the space they are currently in, and the corresponding time in the illusion is obviously longer.

"The train is very good at playing with words. Its so-called 'initial world' is not the world before we got on the train, but 'copied' after reading our memories, so its so-called 'absolutely safe time'..." Miao Ying reacted, her voice gradually lowered.

"It's neither absolute nor safe." Based on his own personal experience, Ba Yuan answered with a bitter face.

"That's not to say, at least players should be absolutely safe in the illusion." Fu Qitang said, he thought for a while and then said, "The characteristic of illusion is that it has a strong sense of reality, and the player's memory has been modified, so in the It's hard to distinguish among them. But in fact, the ghosts inside are very weak, and they even cooperate with the players to act deliberately before they are seen through, showing obvious deception, but this is actually unnecessary. And the reason why they do this is precisely It shows that the ghost is not used to kill the player, and it can't kill the player, so its only function is to delay time."

"Procrastination?"

"Well," Fu Qitang pointed to the timer in the middle of the round table, the number on it was still decreasing by the second, "The more realistic the ghost performance is, the more the plot development meets the players' psychological expectations, the harder it is for the players to see through, stay Of course, the time in the illusion will be longer. And if the twelve hours are up, the countdown is over, and the player still hasn't come out, the ending he faces may be directly obliterated."

"So the ghosts don't need to be very powerful at all. Even if they catch the player, they will find a chance to let them go, or let the player escape easily. Their purpose is to confuse the player, keep the player in a state of tension all the time, and have no intention of thinking about the environment they are in. Is it true or not?" Miao Ying said in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, she sighed again, recalling her previous experience, but before speaking, she glanced at Gong Zijun without a trace.

And Gong Zijun was fiddling with the straw in the coffee cup, with a look of indifference.

"My fantasy is to send my sister to school, but I met a ghost on the train. I wanted to take my sister away, but I found out that my sister is also a ghost." Miao Ying said, her heart was a little heavy, but she insisted on saying, " At that time, I was already caught by her... I was caught by it, and there were several other ghosts chasing me. If I changed to a regular copy, I would definitely die, but I escaped because they were really weak. Finally, relying on Deal with them according to the train layout and kill them all."

Ba Yuan also sighed, and said melancholy: "I am similar. The ghosts pretended to be my four friends, and I saw through them and killed them. You haven't seen that I am so majestic and heroic. Ah! In the end, it wasn't that I became stronger, it turned out that they were weakened."

"So the existence of illusions is equivalent to an additional question, and in order to confuse us, the train deliberately waited until 'before the exam' before letting us do it. Only those who do it right can enter the exam room to take the exam, and those who do it wrong can only be eliminated." Miao Ying concluded.

If the player fails here, it is tantamount to falling on the eve of dawn, which is cruel and helpless.

All four of them lost interest in talking for a while, and just drank the drinks in front of them one after another.

After a while, Fu Qitang spoke again, "Fatty, how did you realize something was wrong?"

Although the stronger the player is, it is not necessarily easier to break through the illusion, but it is indeed more difficult for the lower player to break through.

And Ba Yuan has only cleared two dungeons, so it is impossible to be ranked first in terms of strength and experience. Hidden boss, second brush player Fu Qitang.

Ba Yuan scratched his head, thought carefully for a moment before opening his mouth, "I think this illusion is constructed according to the psychological needs of the players. The stronger the need, the stronger the desire, the higher the reality of the illusion, and the players will not be easy to wake up .But I just happen to be the kind of person who doesn’t have a very strong need.”

He grinned and continued to explain: "I'm an orphan, I grew up in an orphanage, and then the orphanage caught fire... Forget it, let me just say it, it was actually done by a few bastards. It hurts, I locked the front and rear doors of the orphanage, and then threw firecrackers in the competition, but I didn't expect to set the trash piled in the yard on fire. But the weather was very dry during that time, and the wind was very strong at night. Welfare The courtyard is an old building that has been in disrepair for a long time, and various factors together caused the fire to burn quickly. When the fire arrived, the two teachers on night shift and my friend were both dead.

"And that day, I was detained by a teacher who hated me because I made trouble in class. She asked me to clean the toilet after school. Later, I didn't know who locked me in it and I didn't go back all night. I just saved my life like this."

Sighing, he took another sip of coffee to moisten his throat, and Ba Yuan continued, "I was eight years old at the time, and now I am 28. This is still the last thing I can let go of. But how should I put it, I may I’m really born with thin feelings. I really miss the teachers and friends who died. I think life in the orphanage was good, but I don’t want to go back. Even if the orphanage is still fine, I won’t go back. Do you understand? So I woke up in the illusion and found myself standing at the gate of the orphanage. I knew something was wrong in my heart, because it was impossible for me to go back.

"As long as you start to doubt, it's easy to find the problem. After all, no matter how warm it is in the front, it is still a horror plot. So before I went in, I saw that the gate of the orphanage was full of traces of fire. It was dilapidated, the ground was scorched, and the windows of several rooms on the second floor were broken. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

"The teacher who came to pick me up is still the same as before. Of course I recognize it, but I don't recognize the faces of my friends at all, because they didn't grow up when they died, and it is impossible for me to know what they will look like when they grow up, so I feel like everyone is a stranger.

"Oh, by the way, there is also barbecue. If I didn't realize the horror of this plot, then the horror point in the second half should be set on barbecue. I never eat barbecue." Ba Yuan smiled, "Because I can't get over the smell of the wreckage when I went back the next day after the fire, it was really disgusting."
