Chapter 23: The Characters in the Story (Part I)
“…… In other words, you were all brought here by the so-called princess in military uniform?"
Zhou Yuan asked as he held a piece of fried chicken smeared with ketchup with a toothpick, but he only held it up and didn't put it in his mouth—while looking at a few guys around him who had different overall painting styles.
It can be preliminarily judged that the princess in the military uniform has the ability to travel through different world......s similar to the gothic costume Lori; I couldn't see anything.
"Well, we're all like that," Maitreya said, leaning her back against the wall with a big grin, "but you don't seem to be the same, you went to this world on your own initiative." ”
"Anyway...... Do you know where I'm from?"
Zhou Yuan looked at the only aborigine, the boy with glasses—Zhou Yuan didn't even know what this guy's name was—and asked.
"What is it? It's a game...... You are a strong supporter. ”
Yes, is it still a worldview in the context of Overwatch...... It seems that this is just one more character corresponding to himself, which is completely different from his own experience.
"The Zhou Yuan you talked about...... It's not me, or maybe it's me on another world line......"
Zhou Yuan sighed. Just now, Zhou Yuan took the name of Zhou Yuan on the second Athena machine, and it showed words such as "Overwatch Newcomer", "Support Hero", "Popular Character", etc., and the plot of Overwatch itself is no different from other World Overwatch games.
Forget it, those things are told to them......
Zhou Yuan sighed, the world is about to be destroyed This kind of thing, telling others is just panic...... Therefore, this kind of thing only needs to be known by a few people, and no one else needs to understand.
"Anyway, I'm not a character in the work...... I'm literally from another universe, and I've come here with my own goal, which is to get a thing called the Tinder Source, which was supposed to be a cube. ”
As for why the target is a young girl...... The devil knows.
After saying this, Zhou Yuan finally put the chicken nuggets in his mouth, and then continued after a pause.
"I have a different opinion about the work...... We usually think that a work is a reflection of other worlds, that there is a world first, and then what happens in the world radiates into the author's mind through some unknown way, and then the work is produced. ”
"But that's not right, is it...... My "Elf Fantasy Fogle Knight" has been written far later," said the middle-aged uncle who had been on the side, that is, the author of "Elf Fantasy Fogel Knight" at this time, "but Celesia is still in the time period of the animation." ”
"This is going to explain the relative time and absolute time, as well as the timeline and the world line......" Zhou Yuan sighed, "But it's too complicated, you can't understand it...... In short, it is enough to know that time is a coherent line, and then if you don't make changes to it, the general change will be constricted in one direction......"
The result of the world line constricting in one direction is to "eliminate the mystery", not only the world where Zhou Yuan is located, but also the big world or all the worlds are gradually constricting in one direction. But this point doesn't need to be explained, just to explain what the world line is, Zhou Yuan feels that it will take a long time......
But fortunately, someone can understand it at a glance, from the characters in the work, from a certain RPG game "Avaken" character of the NPC "Meteora" easily understood Zhou Yuan's description of the concept of the world line, and raised objections.
"But if that's what you're saying...... Magic killer Mo Meixiang, that little girl can't really be a world where people don't bleed, and they don't die and some villains' IQs drop, right?"
Well, Zhou Yuan's concept is that all people come from the normal universe, so Mo Meixiang's matter can't be explained - this is the biggest bug, and there are other bugs - that is, the amount of information.
For example, according to Meteora, the food in that world has two functions: one is to be full, and the other is to restore HP, because the people who make the game do not give the food the attribute of "taste", so the food in Meteora's world does not have the attribute of "taste" - even when she first felt the taste, Meteora was surprised.
Obviously, these two cannot be explained by a separate theory of the universe.
"That's not right...... There are no mysterious elements in this world, so you can't really be the characters in the book......"
Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought. Regardless of the others, at least for now, it can be confirmed that Zhou Yuan is not a character in the book - everyone else can feel the mutual induction between the characters in the work, the change in the amount of information, the over-exaggeration of the world view and other things are not applied to Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan also came from other worlds alone and was not brought by the princess in military uniform - this is one of them, and the other is another more serious issue.
Time passes in this world at an exponential rate. In other words, if Zhou Yuan wants to wait for the purple statue to cool down and enter a state that can be used again, according to the calculation of Athena's world time flow rate conversion module, if the purple statue wants to cool down, it will take about forty-five to forty-seven days...... In fact, the time corresponding to the circumference world is only a matter of a few hours.
It's been a month and a half. No matter what the red-haired girl in front of him has to do with the source of fire, Zhou Yuan can't go back in a short time, so Zhou Yuan is not in a hurry - the characteristics of this world are too special, it is like a "template" for Zhou Yuan's world...... This made Zhou Yuan curious.
Zhou Yuan's world is torn apart by projections, and this world is also eroded by the people who come from the works; if we regard the aggregate world line of all worlds as a large world, and the individual universes as "worlds", then the world formed by the incomplete works in this work is like a small world...... And Zhou Yuan can almost guess what will happen in the end.
The result of these abilities that violate the basic laws is to increase the basic level of the world - but if the level is not raised, then the phenomenon will eventually occur similar to that that of the large world.
The worldview is unified and merged, the small worlds disappear, and the universe becomes a single state.
