"What do you mean by that?" Guo Ming listened to Gu Fan's words, and seemed to be a little incomprehensible, "Didn't you say that as long as you destroy this transistor, you can leave the loop?" ”

"No, it's not. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gu Fan looked at Guo Ming, who was holding a baseball bat, and said astringently: "This is not ...... The truth. ”

"And what's the truth?" Guo Ming obviously also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he couldn't help but put down the baseball bat, pulled the chair next to Gu Fan, motioned for him to sit down, and sat directly on the desk against the wall, looked at the display time on the electronic communicator that was still beating back and forth wildly, and whispered: "But you have to say hurry up, we probably ...... Twenty minutes to go back to being reset. ”

"I ...... Hey, listen to Guo Ming, I don't know what to say about it. Gu Fan opened his mouth with some difficulty, "I used to wish that this journey would end like this, and we would escape this closed time loop together, and then I could go with you to see your father, and maybe I could be his assistant and study the virtual reality technology we love together." ”

"That's good, isn't it? That's a good suggestion, we'll do it when we get out. Guo Ming had a faint bad premonition in his heart, but he was always unable to clear the fog in front of him.

"I'd love to see it, but I'm not sure there's a chance again."

"Next, I will begin to uncover the truth."

......

The premonition in Guo Ming's heart became stronger and stronger, he seemed to be able to see what was about to happen in the future with a warning, but at this point, his somewhat panicked heart calmed down, nodded at Gu Fan with a serious face, and said, "I understand, you can go on, I want to ...... I'm ready for the truth. ”

After listening to Guo Ming's affirmative answer, Gu Fan did not speak immediately, but untied the quartz watch on his wrist and threw it into the sky.

After reaching a high point, the quartz watch unexpectedly fell, and fell faster and faster, finally falling on the concrete floor of the room with a "pop".

"Guo Ming, you see, if I throw an object upward, it will eventually return to the ground under the influence of gravity, which is the irreversible natural law in our world."

Guo Ming looked at Gu Fan with some puzzlement, although he didn't know what the significance of Gu Fan's move was, but the shadow that had been hanging in his heart made him reluctant to think carefully, "Free fall is normal, isn't this the most basic law of physics." ”

"Yes, objects fall under the influence of gravity, fish cannot survive without water, and zombies should not appear on the streets at noon, these are the basic laws that we all know, and we always subconsciously think that this is logical." Gu Fan paused, and then said: "So in this case, when we encounter something illogical, why can we quickly find a reasonable explanation for it?" ”

"What do you mean......" Guo Ming frowned, he seemed to know a little bit what Gu Fan wanted to say.

"Do you think there are zombies in this world?" Gu Fan asked suddenly.

"Of course I didn't believe in this kind of thing before, but we've seen it with our own eyes before, and we've killed so many ......."

"How do you know you're seeing zombies?" Gu Fan interrupted Guo Ming's words, "Maybe they're just mental patients with skin diseases." ”

"Uh...... I have to say, this idea of yours does make me a little scared. Guo Ming showed an embarrassed expression, "They can't really be mentally ill people with skin diseases, right?" Well, maybe a little bit of mild epilepsy? ”

"No, they are zombies." Gu Fan denied Guo Ming's assumption, "And I'm sure that their appearance is what you think zombies look like." ”

At this time, Guo Ming reacted a little, and asked in disbelief: "You mean, the zombie in my mind jumped out of my mind and was created in the real world?" And also attacked us without a word! Dream into reality? ”

"What if even what you call the real world is virtual?"

Guo Ming was silent, and after a long while, he said slowly: "This is not funny at all. ”

"Haven't you ever wondered? If the fact that you are trapped in the same day is really a conspiracy of the so-called dark scientists, then am I the second guinea pig from July 4, 2074, or five years later? ”

Gu Fan stared at Guo Ming and said word by word: "My cousin once said that everything follows its own most basic logic, and once there is a mistake in logic, all previous inferences will be falsified. In the same way, if there is a clear logical error in the world you live in, then the world will be falsified as well. ”

"Just because there are zombies on the street? You're going to conclude that our whole world is fake? Guo Ming obviously could not accept this explanation.

"Do you remember the first time we went to the restaurant? They were playing John Lennon's "Imagine" at the time, and the only thing I had feeling at the time was that the sound quality of the song was not like a 20th century song, but it didn't think about it any other way. Gu Fan suddenly sighed and continued: "But in fact, I have heard this version of [imagine] before, and the reason why the sound quality of this song is so good is because the English region launched an original soundtrack reproduction version a hundred years later in order to commemorate this famous song of the century, and the release date of this song in the Old World Britain is 1975. ”

"On July 4, 2074, we heard the song of 2075. Unfortunately, this is a huge logical error that is completely impossible to ignore. The world has been falsified, Guo Ming. ”

Guo Ming was already stunned at this time. He tried to refute what Gu Fan said before, so he asked unwillingly, "What happened to the research report you found in the central hospital before?" What about time loops? ”

"The most critical of those reports is actually the previous ones, and the one that we all thought was the key to breaking the game [Feasibility Study Report on the Cycle of Time and Space], just to make this worldview of 'you are trapped on the same day' logically self-consistent." As he spoke, Gu Fan took out the [latest research data on the construction of memory palaces by the human brain] from several previous research reports, "If my inference is correct, you are the 'No. 1 experimental subject' that was observed in this report for the purpose of studying memory palaces. ”

His finger slowly moved to one of the passages: "Due to a rare genetic disease, the patient quickly lost most of his vital signs in a very short period of time, we can only try to ensure that the patient's brain is still active, with the consent of the patient's family, we decided to start the long-shelved [memory palace] project, relying on today's virtual reality technology, combined with the patient's brain waves, to build the closest to the real virtual world." Gu Fan looked at Guo Ming, who seemed a little unacceptable, and continued: "You told me before that your mother had a rare disease, and her organs also failed rapidly in a short period of time, and she lost most of her vital signs...... And a key part of this [memory palace] project is virtual reality technology, and coincidentally, your father Guo Chongyi is the biggest authority in this field, and I suspect that your father is also one of the leaders of this project. ”

"No way, I've lived in this city for five whole years and never felt anything false." Guo Ming still can't accept it, "And if everything is illusory, why did they design such a surreal worldview as 'time loop' from the beginning?" ”

"For technical reasons, the current virtual reality technology is not enough to handle the huge amount of computing required for everything that countless people in the real world do every day in the future, so it can only be used to prevaricate with a seemingly lame worldview under limited technology. You know, if you just design a selection of all events for hundreds of thousands of people in a day, it's possible with the current technology. Moreover," Gu Fan shouted, "Why would they install a time loop machine in the hospital?" Because they know it's the only place you won't go. ”

"I see, so I'm in the real world, as the study says, I only have one brain left?" Guo Ming only felt that his hands were a little cold, he shook his slightly dizzy head, trying to shake it all off, and finally, he raised his head and looked at Gu Fan, "What about you?" Is it also someone I imagined? ”

"No, I'm supposed to be 'another patient.' Gu Fan took out another copy of [Thirty-six Ways to Wake Up a Vegetative Man], "If I'm not mistaken, I should be the vegetative person in this study who suffered brain damage due to a car accident." Moreover, since two real 'minds' have entered this virtual world, the whole world has begun to produce logical errors, that is, bugs. I'm sorry, Guo Ming. If it weren't for me, you might be able to continue living in this world. ”

Guo Ming seemed to calm down at this time, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "In other words, maybe you can return to the real world, right?" He gripped the baseball bat once more and turned to look at the glowing ring transistor, "If this thing isn't a time-loop machine, then it must be the key to maintaining this virtual world, and if I break it, maybe you'll wake up." ”

"But if you break it, you might die." Gu Fan was a little sad, Guo Ming was really a good person.

"No, even if I don't break it, the whole world won't last long." Guo Ming seemed to have figured out something, "Because I have realized that this is a virtual world." ”

He walked up to Gu Fan, leaned over to pick up the quartz watch, and threw it into the air!

But something strange happened, after the quartz watch reached the ceiling of the room, it seemed to be glued to it, and it never came down again.

"The rules of physics in this world have begun to break down." Gu Fan looked at this incredible scene and muttered.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Li Yan, you're a very good friend." Guo Ming looked at Gu Fan and slowly stepped back, "If you can return to the real world, please help me bring a word to my father, I love him." ”

With that, Guo Ming turned around suddenly, grabbed the steel baseball bat, and smashed it at the slightly shiny ring transistor!

For a moment, Gu Fan only felt that he seemed to be decomposed into countless debris, and the whole world was suddenly filled with a burst of dazzling white light......
