Chapter Ninety-Two: Crossing, or Intubation in the Back of the Head?

So, Asker is from the Land of Dragons?

Medea was very curious.

It wasn't that she didn't investigate Asker. As early as her time in Constantinople, she knew that Aske was from the Achilles family, which was inextricably linked to the distant Dragon Kingdom.

However, Medea never imagined that Aske actually had the memory of living in the Land of Dragons.

That is, his family moved to Constantinople only later? Come to the Achilles family?

Such a conjecture swirled around in her mind, tempting Medea to continue to probe deeper.

Soon, she discovers a certain frightening fact.

Asker is not Asker, the original "Asker" is dead, and now in this body is a visitor from another world.

From a world that is highly similar to the land of dragons, the consciousness that has crossed over.

There seems to be a record of this world in that world, and the people there call this world "SNF".

SteelAndFire, also known as Iron and Fire or Steel and Fire, is an online game......

It took Medea a while to understand what online games wereβ€”mainly because in Asker's memory, almost all of them were games since college, so much so that she couldn't even understand them.

I see.

Medea smiled and put her cheek on one hand, looking at Asker's face, the more she looked at it, the more she felt a subtle sweetness.

It's like a wife peeking at her husband's diary.,There's a sense of intimacy that closes the distance between us.。

Although it is a pity that I can't take the opportunity to do anything to him, at least I know the deepest secrets of his heart.

Moreover, only I know......

Holding her cheek and being intoxicated for a while, Medea continued to investigate.

Then she was shocked to find that Asker had no intention of keeping it a secret, and that he had even told Nora about it, the night she confessed to him.

Really! How can you casually reveal such a crucial thing as being a traverser?

Medea was a little angry. This kind of thing...... Isn't it only possible to tell the people closest to you? Like me, me!

In case Nora is a woman with bad intentions, aren't you putting yourself in danger?

To Medea's displeasure, Aske chose to tell Nora because he was sure that Nora would keep it a secret and would not work against him.

It's also infuriating that with Medea's detailed understanding of Nola, she really won'tβ€”one of her hearts is all tied to Asker, not to mention keeping secrets, even keeping chastity is no problem.

Bastard, why are you all so skilled! How many secrets have you exchanged with each other!

Medea decided to list Nora as a key monitoring mind reader in the future, and once this girl had other thoughts, Medea would definitely kill her as soon as possible, even if she was scolded by Asker for it.

I'm doing this for your own good! You know? She stared at Asker's face and secretly made up her mind.

Continuing her search, Medea was fortunate enough to find a recent memory, which was the image of Aske sacrificing himself down a snowy slope to save her.

So, what do you think?

After a moment of careful exploration, Medea's face showed a look of disappointment.

It turned out that Asker didn't rush down to save her out of any special emotion - memories show that he was just making a quick judgment at the time.

judged that it could be saved, so he rushed out to save it.

In Asker's world, it seems that a lot of things can be digitized.

For example, Lv.5's HP can be quantified, enough to withstand her flames for more than 10 seconds, plus a falling heavy blow, he calculated that this would not lead to death before he came to save her, not Medea originally thought of "sacrificing her life to save her".

But Medea saw another mental activity.

"With my and her current physical attributes, if I go to save her, at most I am seriously injured; If I don't save her, she'll definitely die. ”

At the risk of serious injury, do you want to come and save me? Hmph, I knew I was special in your heart.

Can she do it?

Medea thought contentedly, staring at Asker's face with his eyes closed, feeling that the vinegar in her heart was quickly dissipating.

You've passed.

At this time, he was idle anyway, and could only wait for Asker's body to slowly heal itself, so Medea continued to probe his memories.

From deeper memories, Medea saw his past, including what he and Nora had said about his family's tragedy.

Medea was embarrassed to see that she had family warmth since she was a child, and later unfortunately lost it, so she also empathized with Asker's past.

Then, Medea saw him enter a game company and start working after entering society.

From then on, he began to get to know the game industry ecology and was introduced to the holographic game "Iron and Fire" for the first time.

Because of his dependence on keyboards and mice, "Iron and Fire" no longer tests the player's so-called hand speed, but emphasizes more experience and awareness, which also makes him like a fish in water in this game, and quickly climbs to the top of the player's level.

Later, "Iron and Fire" began to enter the esports industry, and he left his job to become an esports player, not because of how much he loved the game, but purely to make more money to support his family.

And then he crossed over ......

Through this incident, the impact on Asker's three views is huge, and the most typical example is:

So far, he still hasn't figured out whether he crossed over or was trapped in the game by the back of his head.

The reason is very simple, the original holographic game is already quite realistic, the player will be hurt if he is injured in the game (of course, the real body will not be injured), and he will be hungry if he does not eat for a long time (even if he eats in the game, the real body will still be hungry).

In other words, if Asker was actually kidnapped and intubated in the back of his head, soaked in a jar of nutrient solution, his mind was immersed in the server world and playing games...... It's also entirely possible.

Theoretically, the possibility of posterior intubation is greater than that of traversal, because posterior intubation can be explained, and traversing (or soul piercing + half flesh piercing) cannot be explained scientifically at all.

As a result, Asker is still unsure (at least subconsciously) whether the girls around him are really humans from another world, or if they are virtual NPCs in some holographic game with a back-of-head tube.

Due to his father's experience, Aske himself is extremely resistant to "falling in love with a virtual NPC", so he has not had any real feelings for any of the girls around him so far.

Even if everyone has both appearance and personality, they have reached or even far exceeded his own mate selection standards.

Medea just wanted to laugh at this, Aske couldn't figure it out, didn't she understand if she was a real person or a simulated program?

Wait, what if I'm just a thinking program? Medea was speechless, thinking of a possibility that even she was afraid of.

After all, this world is exactly the same as the game world in Asker's memory! This kind of coincidence is a bit excessive, isn't it?

"Programs are designed by people, and they must perform certain functions when they are designed." Medusa said coldly in her heart, "May I ask why there are programmers who want to design your useless program?" It's cranky all day long, and it's especially double-threaded! ”

"That's right." Medea hurriedly chimed in, "And we'll still quarrel with each other!" Such a program is simply redundant and inefficient, and it doesn't make sense at all! ”

Although she managed to convince herself, Medea was distressed because she found herself unable to convince Asker.

How do you prove that you are a living person, and not a virtual program with a super-high AI design?

Or further, how can you prove to him that this world is the real world, and not a fake world built with programs and codes that deceive him by entering his five senses?

"There's no way." Medusa said angrily, "It's like, how do you prove to a person that his thoughts are all from his own thoughts, and not the thoughts that you brainwashed him through his psychic abilities?" ”

"You reminded me when you said that." Medea suddenly realized, "I can't convince him, but I can brainwash him!" ”

"When my psychic ability is upgraded to level II, I will implant him with fragments of consciousness such as 'this world is real' and 'the person he loves the most is me', and subtly transform his desire to go back."

"That's not a good idea." Asker's voice rang out.

Medea: ..................

"Ah, you're awake." Medea hurriedly rushed to his side, as if nothing had happened just now, and asked with concern, "How are you doing?" Are you okay? Is there anything wrong with it? ”

"What do you say?" Asker looked at her with dead fish eyes, "Why don't you roll hundreds of times down the mountain and smash it to the bottom of the valley in a flaming barbecue?" ”

"Ah, speaking of which, I have good news for you." Medea smiled and held out a finger and pressed it to his lips.

"Your androphobia cured?" Aske said in amazement.

"That's not right." Medea said, "I just don't fear you anymore." ”

"So you're not going to treat me like a man anymore, are you?" Asker was completely speechless.

"No, no, no." Medea smiled, "I was just moved by your heroic gesture of sacrificing your life to save me, so I refreshed my impression of you." Although I still have feelings of rejection for the ordinary, ugly, and rude male pigs, you have been elevated to a masculine, heroic, and charismatic image in my heart. ”

"In other words, only you are special in my heart. How's that, are you impressed? ”

"Don't talk about it." Asker looked at the sky, "Now my whole body hurts. ”
