"Uh......"

When the last member of the Incineration Mechanism on the first floor falls, the resurrected corpse demon strides up the stairs, ready to continue his bloody revenge against the members of the Incineration Mechanism hidden in the building.

Blood-stained feet stepped onto the steps, leaving black footprints, and when the muscular crimson monster entered the hall on the second floor, it was greeted by a woman in black crouching in the center, and a man lying beside the shadow.

The corpse demon's yellow eyes kept rolling, and finally focused on the man's scarred face, and asked, "Who is he?" ”

As an ordinary citizen of Khoromansk, the corpse demon naturally has never seen the true face of the "Tsar", and he cannot determine the identity of the other party for a while.

"It's my friend." The Shadow looked back at the monster that had been resurrected by him.

"Oh......"

The corpse demon clenched his fists and was about to leave the place, when he saw an unusually dark shadow suddenly appear in the center of the hall.

There was a deathly silence in the building of the Incinerated Agency's headquarters, and from the square dark void, a foot in leather boots stepped out.

"You ......"

When he saw the man coming out of the portal, the corpse demon made a surprised sound. The man who had just arrived ignored him, just turned to look at the shadow next to him and asked:

"Where is he?"

"He's already in!" The Shadow gestured out the window.

……

The green light that lit up out of nowhere in the glass passage was like a street lamp from hell. The voice didn't answer Lin Chi's question, but continued slowly:

"You know that too, right? What is that world you live in......"

"It's very polluted." Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.

"No, we're not talking about that." The voice sold the guanzi seriously:

"The possibility of human beings living in the virtual world is extremely high. It's now a well-established corollary, right? ”

"That's true." Lin Chi nodded.

- Despite the rapid development of science and technology, in a sense, human beings have always stood still.

What exactly time and space are is still a mystery that scientists cannot come to a conclusion.

Modern human beings' concept of time, except for more accurate means of measurement, is actually no different from that of the primitive people of the Stone Age.

From the history of the emergence of the universe to why human consciousness came into being, there are countless mysteries that humans cannot explain. And about the "authenticity of the world", it is naturally a commonplace topic.

Zhuang Zhoumeng butterfly, the brain in the jar, all kinds of questions emerge one after another, and when the brain imaging technology gradually matures and begins to be applied to real life, people have once again discovered a more terrifying fact:

Using brain imaging technology, you can simulate a "world" that is exactly the same as the real world you live in.

- In the year 2031, not long after the in-brain imaging game took off, a virtual space called "Big House" was released.

The creators of the space did not reveal their identity, but posted its address to a well-known developer website at the time, so that anyone with an intrabrain imaging device could enter a separate copy of the exact same content and experience the stupid-sounding "big house".

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to this virtual space, only a few people experienced it, and then ......

This virtual space immediately shocked the entire industry.

Although it was removed by the makers after only one month of launch, the level of realism of that "big house" is completely incomparable to even the pinnacle of brain-imaging games, "War Paradise"!

As a pioneer, Lin Chi was busy with other things at the time and had not entered the "big house" to experience it, but he watched a large number of experience videos circulating on the Internet, and the sophistication of that virtual space was indeed unprecedented, reaching a level that was at least ten years ahead of the industry.

Whether it is the furniture in the house, or the walls, doors and windows, it is completely indistinguishable from the well-decorated houses in the real world, and the experiencers cannot find any flaws at all.

In addition to sight and hearing, the sense of touch and smell is also the same as in the real world. Because of this, some people even swear that this is a prank by a home furnishing company, making users think that they are in a virtual space, but in fact they are moving people's bodies to a real apartment.

Lin Chi naturally wouldn't believe this absurd conclusion, but the point of the matter was not the truth or falsity of the "big house".

- So, since human beings can already use brain imaging technology to create a virtual space that is completely indistinguishable from the real world.

So...... Is this "real world" a virtual space created by other creatures?

“……”

Thinking of this, Lin Chi fell into silence again. And the haunting voice sounded again, bewitching his mind like a cult:

"This is the limitation of human beings, you can only understand the world with your senses, and you cannot understand the world further...... Even if you can observe tiny particles through instruments, they are just things that you 'observe'. ”

"What are you trying to express?" Lin Chi looked up at the glass plate above his head.

"You have been in the virtual world without knowing it, and even if you find out the truth, the vast majority of humanity will not accept the truth."

Speaking of this, the voice that had been flat suddenly brought undisguised disdain: "We know what those people are thinking, they just want to escape from reality, if they admit that the world is virtual, everything they do is meaningless......

"Hah, maybe." Lin Chi laughed and asked rhetorically, "But what does that have to do with me?" ”

- Even if the real world is a virtual space simulated by a computer, it is not a big deal for humans, after all, judging from the "game history" of the past few hundred years, even if this world is really virtual, it has always been stable, and there is no need to worry about server crashes and the like.

Since the end of the world will not happen, even if the real world is pure fiction, it is actually nothing to human beings, after all, human beings spend their entire lives in this world, and as long as the "server" of this world is stable enough, human beings can still continue their current lives.

However, the voice apparently didn't think so:

"So, do you know what happens when you guys 'go offline'?"

"Do you mean the afterlife of humanity?" Lin Chi's eyes widened in surprise.
