85. The will of the Gate of the Stone of Truth

Do you know the so-called 'box theory'?

In the 'box theory', the world we live in is actually in a 'box'.

The 'box' could be a TV series, a novel, a game.

And we are all characters in the box.

Assuming that we are 'game characters', our actions are interfered with by people outside the 'box' – 'gamers'.

Assuming that we are 'fictional characters', our actions are manipulated by someone outside the 'box' – the 'fiction author'.

Doesn't that sound hopeless?

Does it sound very similar to Alice's move of pulling Xia Qiudong, the 'author', into the 'novel'?

Pleasing his own author and asking him to abandon the original 'Badend' and write a 'Happyend' instead - this thing doesn't make logical sense.

Why?

Because according to the point of view of 'we all live in a box, and every move is manipulated by people outside the box' in the 'box theory', who can deny that Alice's move to pull Xia Qiudong into the 'box' is not a street-beating web novel written by the author outside a larger 'box', facing a laptop, eating instant noodles from his dormitory roommates, while shouting in his heart, "Ah, my stomach is so hungry"?

Yes –

Before the contact network literature industry, Xia Qiudong recognized one point.

The 'box theory' is nonsense.

Why?

Because who can deny that the author who wrote the story of 'Alice, the main character, pulls Xia Qiudong into the story', is the reason why he wrote this book, it is also a story written by an author of a bigger 'box' on the outside?

So, it's just a meaningless loop.

It's so stupid to feel sorry for yourself for not being a 'box' role, and to give up your dreams and efforts.

It's up to people to make things happen!

But—

Indeed, the 'box theory' is just nonsense.

But the perspective provided by the 'box theory', and the theoretical knowledge contained within it, is not useless.

At least—

This theory allowed Xia Qiudong to find a way to 'break the game'.

Yes.

Let everyone live happily and end this constant 'restart' and 'fire to continue life', the perfect strategy -

Xia Qiudong already had the answer in his heart.

And according to his set of methods, the success rate of relying on him Xia Qiudong to save the world is-

Hundred percent.

There will be no more, no less, the success rate of the perfect strategy method is 100%, as long as Xia Qiudong can persist in implementing it, he will definitely succeed, yes, as long as he persists, he will definitely succeed, because ......

This is the choice of the 'door'.

Xia Qiudong raised his head and looked at the uh 'door' in front of him.

There is no excessive decoration, it shines with golden brilliance, the material is unknown, and there is a 'door' with a circuit diagram-like pattern on it.

There are just too many hints.

Do you still remember the conversation between Alice and Xia Qiudong in bed on the night when Alice and Xia Qiudong confessed?

- I'm sorry, although I split from Alice, and obey Alice's orders-

— but I'm not Alice —

- Because it's an otaku, Alice thinks -

-- If there really is such an unfolding as 'the author travels into the world of the story he wrote' --

- As an author of a traverser, isn't it a conventional setting to carry a system in his head? ——

The doubt is in the last sentence.

- As an author of a traverser, isn't it a conventional setting to carry a system in his head? ——

If this is a spoof in a novel, it is indeed very reasonable.

But the current atmosphere, the serious and desperate atmosphere of the worldview of this world, this complaint seems very out of place.

What if this is not an 'official spit', but a serious 'clue' in a mystery novel?

And so the answer came out.

The system appeared in Xia Qiudong's mind, and this matter was completely inexplicable.

It's a bug.

But, what if it's not a BUG?

What if there is a reasonable explanation?

So, what exactly is a system?

Xia Qiudong looked up at the golden 'door'.

"All of this is the choice of the Stone of Truth."

Yes.

The true identity of the system is not a spoof-

She said it then.

- But, in terms of composition, I should be, it's called 'Alice', a backup of this girl's personality data-

- Personality, it should be the purest 'optimistic' part of Alice-

- Am I Alice? Is it? Isn't it? I can't say that myself.

Yes, the system itself can't tell if it's Alice, but it just deduces that it's Alice's personality data backup.

At that time, Xia Qiu was suspicious, but the puzzle of clues was not enough at that time, and under the premise of lack of intelligence, Xia Qiudong could not get the correct result.

And now he can confirm-

Xia Qiudong pushed his black-rimmed glasses.

"Although you don't know it yourself, your true identity is the 'Will of the Gate of the Stone of Truth'."

"Yes, that's right, although you didn't realize it yourself, but if you think about it, if the world is 'restarted', everything in this world now, including the 'Gate of the Truth Stone', will disappear, right?"

——...... Your reasoning is very plausible -

has been silent, originally intended to provide space for Xia Qiudong and Alice's date, but the system that is not a light bulb finally makes a sound.

- But what if I am the 'will of the Gate of the Stone of Truth', as you said? ——

- I have no memories related to the 'Gate of the Stone of Truth' at all-

- What's more, the 'restart' that this world is facing now is already a foregone conclusion that the 'Gate of the Truth Stone' can't handle-

- When you leave this world, I will also disappear from your mind-

- Although I don't know where you got your confidence, but this world is really coming to an end, and there is no way to save it-

- So, go back to your world, as Alice said at the end -

- Forget her, forget everything in this world -

——In your own world,Let's live well——

Faced with a lot of words that came out of the system, Xia Qiudong laughed.

"No, you're wrong, what I mean by the 'Will of the Gate of the Truth Stone', in my opinion, you should be the product of the personification of the 'Gate' after absorbing Alice's information, in other words, although you yourself don't realize it, but - you, it's the backup data of the 'Gate of the Truth Stone'!"

- What do you mean? ——

Completely incomprehensible.

The system vaguely felt that Xia Qiudong seemed to have some terrible idea, but it couldn't understand what Xia Qiudong had in mind.

"It's very simple, the 'door' of this world is destined to disappear, but since the 'door' also has its own will, she naturally wants to live and live in the next rebooted world! That's why you have this backup data, and this ...... It has also become the key to my 'breaking the game'. ”
