Chapter 11: The Ladder of Hanging Souls

"Don't worry, you wait a minute." Wang Agui said, taking out a rope, "Wait a minute, you go down, if this is indeed a ghost hitting the wall, then you will come back to us." If we're lucky enough and it's a very long staircase, then you pull the rope after you see the next same mural and we'll come to you. ”

"Okay." Hong Shuangxi replied, silently tied the rope to his body, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little silent.

The footsteps sounded one by one, like a hammer falling on Wang Agui's heart again and again, and slowly, only the back of Double Happiness could be seen.

"You guys, where the hell did you come from, I don't think you look like ordinary tomb robbers at all!" Wang Dazhi thought about it for a long time, and finally said what he had always wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

Where did you come from, can you tell Wang Dazhi that you are just NPCs? Can you tell him that the world you live in is really just some data? Can you tell him that your experience growing up was just an illusion?

In fact, not only Wang Dazhi has doubts in his heart, but Wang Agui has always had a doubt in his heart that he can't get rid of for a long time.

Judging from the fact that Wang Agui and Wang Dazhi have been released for so long, this Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum has always been entered by tomb robbers, and Wang Dazhi's task is to guard this tomb from outsiders.

But if they were just a bunch of data, how could Wang Dazhi ask such a question, how could he betray the responsibility and belief of his own people for thousands of years, although this responsibility and belief seemed to Wang Agui to be nonsense.

But it is clear that this illustrates a problem, Wang Dazhi already has his own "thoughts".

Yes, it's thought, historically speaking, the difference between man and animal is whether or not to make tools. But now some advanced animals, such as chimpanzees, have made simple tools, which is no longer enough to distinguish between humans and animals.

In Wang Agui's view, the simplest, most direct and eternal difference between humans and animals is "thought".

People think about the difference between themselves and animals, and people think about why they are human, but animals don't.

But unfortunately, many people don't think about it from birth to death, and don't think about why they are human. Even if they enjoy the highest technological civilization on the planet, even if they live in the population at the top of the food chain on the planet, they are essentially just a higher level of animals.

If one day, any creature evolves to the point where it thinks about the difference between them and humans, then it is a privilege that new "humans" are born, and they can also be called "humans".

But according to the design of the dawn system, Wang Dazhi and others should not and cannot have their own thoughts, how could an NPC ask such a question, then the answer is already obvious.

Wang Dazhi and others are not NPCs, but real "people".

Or Wang Dazhi and others were originally NPCs, but later, they "evolved" their own minds, just like Skynet in Terminator.

Once artificial intelligence has a mind of its own, the results will be extremely terrifying. As it stands, the speed of human evolution is far from being as fast as the development of artificial intelligence, which took millions of years for humans to evolve to where it is today, and how many years is the history of artificial intelligence?

It has only been 50 years since Eniaq, the world's first electronic computer, was born in the United States in 1946.

However, Wang Dazhi has his own mind as an NPC, so how far should Wang Dazhi's creator: Dawn itself develop?

This is simply unimaginable with current earth technology.

Then, Wang Agui still prefers to believe the previous judgment, Wang Dazhi is not an NPC.

It's a real "person".

But if that's the case, the result is even more chilling.

If Wang Dazhi is real, then in the same way, everything in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is real.

If nothing else, you can leave the main body to attack the shadow of yourself and others.

This is completely counterintuitive.

It doesn't make sense from any point of view.

There are also silkworm Gu, ghost-faced fish, and frogs in the back, and I have never heard of such a creature on the earth.

Silkworm Gu can also explain that before human beings fully entered the scientific and technological civilization, witchcraft civilization was indeed prevalent in some remote areas.

So, what about the existence of the Yellow Emperor itself? Can you clear the sacrifice to resurrect the Yellow Emperor? Could this also be a witchcraft civilization?

If everything in this mausoleum is real, then there must have been a world here. But I and others were not originally from this world.

And Dawn can forcibly send a person who is not this world into this world, then the degree of development of Dawn will only make people more terrifying.

Dawn, Dawn, what the hell are you?

Wang Agui looked ashamed, and said very sincerely: "I'm sorry, although we are currently grasshoppers on the same rope, but I can't tell us where we came from, but you can trust me, we will never harm you." ”

"There's no need for us to hurt you, we'll all die here in a short time." Double Happiness's voice suddenly came from above the two of them.

Wang Agui and Wang Dazhi turned around in unison, and then, neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere was suddenly silent and terrible.

The leaping flames reflected on Wang Agui's uncertain face, and his face was gloomy as if it had been filled with lead.

"Comrades," Wang Agui was the first to break the silence, "I think we may, perhaps, the current situation is not good!" ”

"Now the situation is obvious, this step is a ghost hitting the wall, and I still had a fluke mentality before. Now that Double Happiness is starting from below us but coming back from above, it is not possible for us to return the way we came, that is, we have no way back now. ”

"But it's different from a normal ghost hitting a wall. Ordinary ghosts hit the wall, although they can't get out, but there is a scientific basis. Because there are subtle differences in how well developed people's legs are. In some specific places, such as cemeteries, it seems to be moving forward, but in fact it is always going in circles. ”

"If you say that, why isn't this the case during the day?" ”

Wang Agui said with a smile, "Because the eyes and brain, people and animals are the same, and they essentially do circular motion. However, because of the existence of eyes and brains, they will constantly correct the direction of walking and give correct instructions, so people will not turn in circles during the day. ”

"But at night it's different, especially in the cemetery, in the woods. Visibility is extremely low at night, there are no landmarks, and because of the fear in the heart, the brain and eyes lose their proper function. So you feel like you're walking in a straight line, but you're actually going around in circles. ”

"Wait......" Wang Agui suddenly fell silent.

Wang Dazhi just wanted to open his mouth to speak, but was severely stopped by Hong Shuangxi with his eyes, in his opinion, his brain is not enough under normal circumstances, let alone now. The only thing he can take on the stage is his fist, and now if he wants to escape, he really has to rely on Wang Agui.

Wang Agui's tightly knit frown suddenly relaxed, and he muttered, "I hope my guess is correct......"

"What's wrong, what do you think?" Double Happiness immediately asked impatiently.

Wang Agui lit a cigarette unhurriedly, took a puff intoxicated, and then replied unhurriedly in the eyes of Hong Shuangxi who was about to be unbearable:

"You see, Double Happiness just now came down from below us, but came back from above us, what does this mean?"

Before the two of them could start their brain cells to function, Wang Agui said again: "You can't get out of the ghost hitting the wall, but the ghost hitting the wall is only in a plane, and people will only turn left or right, and I haven't heard of anyone who turns up and down in circles, which is completely contrary to the common sense of physics." ”

Hong Shuangxi suddenly felt as if he understood something, and hurriedly said: "Wait, it's against common sense, you mean ......"

"That's right, this is just a ghost hitting the wall in the dawn, not a real ghost hitting the wall in reality, that is to say, it is completely untenable to infer that this place is based on the ghost hitting the wall in reality, if I guess correctly......"

"This should be a soul ladder."
