Chapter 12: The Beginning

The ontology of white space does not have many more functions, because most of the functions can be directly realized by the system as a data terminal.

As a platform, its meaning seems to be more as a transit station?

Because it is said that this place can be connected with the personal area of other lost people, as long as you get permission, you can also directly access the public area or something, the latter is probably a more free trading space, and by the way, there are also part-time places such as team squares.

As for the specific mechanism, Xia Ran didn't know, but he just heard the guide briefly say it, and it was not a mechanism that he could use now, because all operations required points.

And he is really penniless at the moment, so he can only listen to these things and don't think too much.

He took a deep breath before signaling the arrival of the final dwelling time, then pushed open the door above the platform and stepped straight inside.

「…… Extracting data ......"

「…… Synchronizing rules ......"

「…… Inserting information ......"

It was still the same loud voice as if it were an auditory hallucination, sounding throughout the consciousness, and then there was an unknown time that belonged to another dimension.

……

……

"Familiar ceiling ......"

Xia Ran, who opened his eyes, found himself lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling above, and silently vomited.

Although the ceiling was familiar, and it could even be said that the surroundings and furnishings were exactly the same as his own bedroom, he knew very well what it was, and the information that had been instilled in his mind was constantly reminding him.

Slowly sat up from the bed, he himself couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at the moment, and it didn't seem very extreme, but it was definitely unrealistic to say that he could accept it calmly.

For the same thing, knowing the inside story and not knowing the inside story are completely different mentalities...... He had felt like he was dreaming, and even dying in a dream wouldn't really cost him.

Now, it's a different story.

Xia Ran, who was still a little uneasy, took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, he looked around from the bed, the environment of the room was exactly the same as his bedroom furnishings, clean, simple and neat, without too much mess.

There are probably no magic books under the bed, and there are no crumpled tissues in the trash can......

It looked like Xia Ran's own room, even the details were exactly the same, he stood up and walked to the desk, and even found that the project book he had helped fill in was quietly spread out on the table.

But if he leaves this house and goes outside, he will probably find that the streets and cities outside are completely different, and maybe even the world background has changed.

According to the explanation, the current situation is that whether it is him or this house, these "intelligences" outside the world have been inserted into the logical cause and effect of this world by the white space in an incomprehensible rule, and integrated into his opening identity......

It is said that players who skip the beginner tutorial will have a feeling of "I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, I just know that I'm going to kill next".

Xia Ran is naturally not such a reckless man, and he doesn't feel that his current "useless person start" can have any capital to kill all sides.

He first moved his hands and feet in the bedroom, and experienced the special feeling after "digitization", because it is said that the rules of the white space will solidify the peak state of the lost, especially the peak expressiveness of the basic attribute value-

This is an important mechanism, because simply put, normal human attributes fluctuate.

One cannot guarantee that every punch will be the same force, down to how many kilograms......

One cannot guarantee that every 100-meter run will be at the same speed, accurate to a few tenths of a second......

As I said before, the physique of a sick person is definitely not as good as normal, and the strength of a person who is hungry without a full meal will certainly not be as good as the state after recuperation, and people who are not well rested and sleep quality well enough should not expect to be full of energy......

It can be said that from strength to agility, from intelligence to spirit, almost all of a person's ability attributes are dynamically changing at all times, although the magnitude is generally not large.

However, according to the information obtained by Xia Ran, the rules of the white space can ensure the duration of the best ability value of the lost person to the greatest extent, and of course it is not the kind that violates the law of conservation of energy-

To put it bluntly, under the condition that his state is relatively normal, and his physical and mental consumption is not excessive, he maintains his maximum ability value play.

For example, the average person may have consumed one-fifth of their energy and physical energy, and they will begin to feel tired, and their state will continue to decline over time, whether it is physical outbursts, strength, or mental concentration and concentration.

However, the lost person can maintain the best state of ability value until the energy and physical energy are consumed by more than half, and the fist can swing the strongest force, and the running can be maintained at the fastest speed......

However, it is difficult for Xia Ran to feel the benefits it brings to him at present, after all, if he does not do any high-intensity physical exercise, he just sits quietly in the classroom, so the consumption of energy itself is very slow.

And once there is a real need for high-intensity physical exercise, his own foundation is like this, and he still can't run a few more kilometers...... Although he will not consider using physical strength to solve the problem at present, he will only try to avoid this trouble.

Sitting down at the table, Xia Ran skillfully turned on the computer, wanting to see if he could surf the Internet or something, it was a pity not to take advantage of this opening advantage.

And his current concept and thoughts are different from before - he didn't know anything before, and he simply felt that it was a dream that was so real that it made people feel hairy, but in the end, it was still a dream, and no matter what happened in it, it would not continue to reality.

So even death will not threaten the real self, which is the biggest source of confidence.

But now it's different, Xia Ran has begun to understand that every dream is a real unknown plane, and his soul is really lost in the long river of time......

He didn't understand the specific principle and reason, and he didn't know why it wasn't an entity crossing, and the soul would also show the nature of "entity" in another world, but he knew that every time he died in this form, he was losing the most fundamental existence.

If you die many times in a row, you will also end up completely annihilated. Even now does not change this most basic fact, even in a sense...... The situation has become more serious.

According to the guide, the rules of the white space can help Xia Ran become strong quickly, and the growth gained in the mission world can be directly brought back to reality, and it is 100% synchronously reflected in the body of the ontology......

But everything is an equivalent exchange, and if you want to gain as much as you want, you have to be prepared to lose the consciousness of how much you have lost, and not only the positive feedback will be brought back, but also the negative feedback will be the same. White space can do its best to mitigate the negative impact, but it cannot be exempt from all of them.

It is said that the most intuitive manifestation is to die once, and all the true attributes of the lost person are directly cut in half......

Therefore, if you die many times in a row, then it will be completely destroyed. All attributes 100 are cut into all attributes 50, and all attributes 50 are cut into all attributes 25...... No matter how strong a person is, he can't sustain such a vicious circle.

Just like blowing up a balloon, even in the system of white space, no matter how fast you grow and become stronger, it is certainly not as fast as the rapid decline brought about by death, and no matter how easy it is to blow up a balloon, it is not as fast as deflating.

It seems that the only thing to be thankful for is that the white space will not be erased, nor will it force the lost to complete any task indicators, if you really have the heart, find a place to hide until the time has passed, and then return to reality -

Anyway, people who don't want to die will try to seize the opportunity, and besides, whether the lost live for a while longer or less should make no difference to the white space, it doesn't have to persecute the lost.

Xia Ran didn't want to escape, but comforted himself that there was at least such a way back, so that he could feel more relaxed.

While comforting himself like this, he quickly searched for information on the Internet to understand the background of the current world, and he was pleased that the auxiliary function of the system was really powerful, not only arranging his identity in this world, but also preparing a house.

And it's not a disguise, it's indeed a preparation filled with the corresponding content.

Being able to access the Internet is only one of the proofs, he just turned on the computer, and saw a strange file appear on the clean desktop, and after clicking on it, he was a little stunned to find that it was more detailed and basic information.

Much more detailed information than the vague and vague information that appeared in his mind.

This includes his personal information in this world, including home address, school arrangements, banking information...... And so on and so forth.

This kind of start is really much more comfortable than the previous nightmare period, and he sighed inexplicably in his heart and relaxed a little, at least this time he doesn't have to think about basic survival issues.

The timeline is a modern parallel world, but slightly behind its own real world......

There are subtle differences in the background, but overall it is not much different from the history that I am familiar with......

There seems to be nothing noteworthy, there is no world war, and no aliens have attacked Earth......

Probably because he has done a lot of work and has enough experience and is skilled in operation, Xia Ran confirmed the basic information very quickly, which made him slightly relieved, maybe this time it is a peaceful world again?

Immediately after that, he noticed a piece of news -

"The number of major cases in various places is rising rapidly!"

Then, he clicked directly into it with an inexplicable move in his heart, and then he saw a bunch of major cases of hunting, although no photos flowed, but just looking at the text description made people's hearts hairy, and there is a series of links below.

"The number of murders and corpses has skyrocketed!"

"Mother and daughter killed! The missing father is suspected of being a murderer! ”

"There was another case of torture and murder in Miyagi!"

It was a wonderful feeling, as if it was a special revelation of the sixth sense, intuition, and he felt that he had come into contact with the main veins and directions of this world.

The next moment, the task prompt had already sounded in his consciousness-

"Hunt the Parasitic Beast, the specific reward depends on the degree of interference"
