497 The flaw in the dream

Ever since entering the Doomsday Hotel, Lin Chi had noticed something unusual about this map:

Unlike ordinary game maps, the number of NPCs in this map is very small, although there are a lot of soldiers attacking in the apartment, but the aboriginal NPCs who were originally in the apartment are only Jane.

In the dream space of "Doomsday Hotel", except for the "butcher" who kills people on sight, other NPCs basically only appear in text prompts and records, and never show up at all.

It's really strange that these aborigines, who don't see people alive or dead, can't see their bodies. And the overly perfect "Vincent" in Jane's mouth made Lin Chi have strong suspicions.

- According to Jane, Vincent was supposed to be a simple-minded and reliable gentleman who was always very helpful at critical moments, and even came up with a magical device called the "Dream Maker" to relax the residents of the apartment.

- Is this extremely reliable and flawless universal character setting too "convenient"?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi turned his head to look at the girl who was blindfolded with a red cloth, and then frowned thoughtfully.

He always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed:

Whether it was the Doomsday Hotel or the apartment that had been invaded many times by black-clad soldiers, there was a strange sense of disobedience.

If we can find out the reason for this sense of dissonance, we may be able to figure out the secret of this map.

Lin Chi was frowning and thinking about the characteristics of this map, and Zhen's voice interrupted his thoughts:

"We'd better get out of here soon...... That madman may be going to recover ......"

After reacting for a while, he realized that the other party was talking about "butcher", Lin Chi nodded, and when he was about to leave, he asked casually: "Do you have photos of other residents in the apartment there?" ”

"Hmm......" Jane stood up and thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I can't remember. ”

Hearing this, Lin Chi always felt that something was not quite right, but he didn't say anything, just led the seemingly weak girl and sneakily left Room 207 to observe the situation in the corridor.

The large hole in the ceiling that the butcher had made was still there, but the monster itself was nowhere to be seen. Lin Chi didn't stay here, but just dragged the girl to the third floor and hid in Room 302, which was still burning, to avoid the butcher's previous patrol route.

When the butcher didn't show up, the apartment was eerily quiet, and you could hear your own heartbeat.

Although he could try to use a circular saw to cut the iron fence on the window, Lin Chi did not do that. Just put down the weapon in his hand and stood in front of the girl in black, "condescendingly" looking down on the short girl.

Lin Chi could see that the crux of the problem was likely to lie in this girl, after all, except for the butcher, she was the only NPC in this "Doomsday Hotel".

In addition, the girl's strange attitude was another reason for Lin Chi's suspicions, she didn't look like she had really lost her memory, but more like she was bound by something.

- So, what exactly is Jen hiding? What does she have to do with this bloody dream space?

If you want to find out the truth of the matter, it's better to see for yourself the fastest:

"Can I look into your eyes?" Lin Chi asked.

As soon as these words came out, Jane fell silent again.

Although she looked a little reluctant, she said slowly, "Okay......"

Then the girl tore off the red cloth from her head, revealing her eyes, which had been covered by strips of cloth.

Her eyes were wide open, and she looked very strange without pupils, and her eyeballs flashed with a light green light, like a robot infected with a computer virus.

Lin Chi stared at the girl's eyes, recalling the strange green light that lit up on the other party's head when he first met the butcher. He suddenly realized that things didn't seem to be quite what he had thought.

Her eyes seem to bear a subtle resemblance to the "butcher", and it was she who easily stopped the butcher's actions just now. On top of that, the girl could even read the hearts of every aboriginal in the apartment. Could it be ......

Combined with the situation in the apartment space. Lin Chi suddenly thought of some kind of astonishing inference.

He was about to find a way to verify it when he heard heavy footsteps in the hallway again.

"It's really dedicated." He grumbled.

The butcher, with metal boots on his feet, returned to the corridor on the third floor. But this time, Lin Chi didn't pick up the circular saw and fight with him, but instead reached out and stroked Zhen's forehead, and whispered in a "gentle" voice: "Can you get the butcher out of here?" ”

"He's the automatic protection system of the dream maker, I can't turn it off by myself......" Jane shook her head decisively, but her voice was a little hesitant: "I need Vincent...... Probably. ”

As he spoke, the butcher's footsteps stopped in front of the door of Room 302. Even so, Lin Chi didn't pick up the circular saw at his feet, but just continued to ask:

"Are you saying that gentle, gentleman, who can save people at critical moments, is extremely loyal to others, and can even come up with the perfect genius of black technology such as the 'Dream Maker'?"

"Well, that's what he does......" Jen's eyes flashed a light green.

"But isn't this guy a little too idealistic?" Lin Chi smiled.

"Huh?" Jane made a confused voice, "Do you think Vincent is weird?" ”

"Nope." Lin Chi shook his head and said meaningfully:

"I don't think Vincent exists at all."

At the same time as he said this, a heavy shadow appeared in front of the bedroom again, and the murderous butcher with a large knife slowly walked over, and the right arm, which had been broken, had returned to normal again.

Lin Chi knew that in this dream space, the butcher could be infinitely regenerated. But now, instead of fighting, he had to take a dangerous gamble.

- although I don't know if my guess is correct or not. But now, you can only gamble once!

"I mean, it's time for you to wake up, right?" Lin Chi said loudly.

"Huh? I don't understand what you mean......" Jane's voice was a little weak.

As if he also had doubts about Lin Chi's words, the murderous butcher didn't attack, just stood motionless in place, not knowing what he was thinking.

Facing the blind girl in a state of confusion, Lin Chi suddenly lowered his voice: "You really haven't found out about the origin of this place?" ”

"It's a virtual space created by a dream machine." Jane raised her head and blinked her blank eyes, "What's wrong with you?" From the very beginning, you weren't in a good shape. ”

"Maybe I'm not in the right place. But - the reason why this dream space is like this is, I think it is because you are not in a good state. ”

Lin Chi took a step forward as he spoke, stood in front of the bloody butcher, and slowly said the astonishing facts:

"In my opinion, this is not a dream space created by some instrument at all, but an illusion created by your deep consciousness."

"This virtual space is constructed by your consciousness, and all the other 'natives', including this butcher, are just fictional characters that you have imagined!"

Hearing this, Jane's eyes widened and froze in place, like a frightened doll, and slowly spoke: "What do you mean......"

"Yes, we're in your nightmare." Lin Chi said word by word.
