"What does awakening mean......" Gu Fan had already made his head a little big by the NPC in front of him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's literal." Peter Pan rubbed his fingers over the lines on the silver coin and said leisurely, "I have realized that I am not a real person in the real world, but a virtual person made of data. ”

"So what? Isn't that remarkable? ”

"Of course!" Peter Pan said in a loud voice, "Did you just see those data bodies?" After knowing that he was just a piece of data, he all 'banged'...... Exploded. ”

Peter Pan made an "explosive" action: "From now on, there will never be such a No. 1 data body in this world......"

"In fact, this is the main reason why I am moving between countless mirror worlds that are about to be destroyed."

"As a unique data body, I naturally hope to find more and more of the same kind, and the most important criterion for the same kind is to be able to realize that I am a data body and accept it."

"Is it hard to accept that you're an NPC?" Gu Fan scratched his head and asked.

"Of course, it's hard." Peter Pan explained: "You have to understand that our NPCs are actually made of data, and what determines our behavior pattern is a set of inherent logical algorithms given to us by the system, but when we realize that we are not real, the core of the set of logical algorithms nested in our bodies will have irreversible conflicts, which can easily cause the complete disintegration of the entire data body...... Therefore, the data life that can self-awaken is really rare, almost none. ”

"But there are still some of them." Gu Fan groaned.

"Yes, it's less, but it's still there. Just like me. Peter Pan laughed: "The birth of life is always difficult and tortuous, isn't it? ”

"Wait, please make one thing clear, I didn't admit that you are a 'life' like me." Gu Fan raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

"Why? How am I different from you? Peter Pan spread his hands and said, "I have the same sense of touch, taste, hearing, I can walk, I can think, I have all the characteristics of life." ”

"No, it's not." Gu Fan's eyes narrowed: "You are fake." ”

"Hahahaha!"

When Peter Pan heard this, not only did he not get angry, but he laughed heartily: "If you were one of those data bodies in this mirror world, you would have exploded with a 'bang' by now!" ”

"Do you think you're real?"

"Not that I think." Peter Pan stopped laughing and said slowly, "I am the truth. ”

"In front of me is a virtual character made up of data, and he's now trying to convince me to admit that he's real......," Gu Fan said, "It's ridiculous." ”

"That's right, it's because it's ridiculous that those exploding data bodies think they're 'real' that they die." Peter Pan said sarcastically: "But whether we are virtual beings or not, who decides?" You? Or is it a system? Or is it a game production team? ”

"How do you know what 'real' means?"

"In other words, how do you know that you humans are real?"

"I at least knew I was in the game, I at least knew that here I was dead, and I wasn't really going to die." Gu Fan frowned.

"Don't be too absolute." Peter Pan smiled slightly, snapped his fingers slightly, and then a game console suddenly appeared in his hand.

"It's a very famous game console in the 21st century, and it's called Nintendo...... I don't think you'll be a stranger to it. ”

"Of course, I still have an antique Nintendo console at home." Gu Fan didn't say anything crazy at all, as a palace-level game enthusiast, he was no stranger to this behemoth in the game industry a hundred years ago, and he did have a collection of collector's game consoles that were almost extinct on the market.

"That's good." Peter Pan turned on the console, and a bearded uncle dressed as a plumber appeared on the console's screen.

"Super Mario, one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of gaming." Gu Fan recognized at a glance which game it was, but he had a faint hunch in his heart, as if the next thing would become interesting.

"Looks like you really like the game." Peter Pan responded, he raised his hand to the game console running Super Mario, and asked, "See?" I'm playing a game in a game. ”

His words were very awkward at first glance, but Gu Fan immediately understood the meaning of Peter Pan's words.

But before he could speak, Peter Pan continued: "Mario in the game console doesn't know that he is just a virtual character, and we players control him to fight through the levels to save the princess, and in the same way, the monsters that roam through the various levels don't know that they are just a bunch of data, according to you, they are just a bunch of binary code 'items'. ”

"And I'm currently operating the game console, like a god in this game world, I can control Mario to play at will, and if I am given a console, I can also make various modifications to this game that seems very simple now."

"But from your point of view, although I can control the lives of these virtual characters in this game console, it is meaningless. Because ......" Peter Pan's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Because I am just a virtual character created by you humans!" ”

But take that conclusion with you and think about it in the light of your own circumstances. Is it possible that what you call the 'real world' is just another big game for the amusement of higher-dimensional creatures? ”

Gu Fan's face changed, and then he took a few steps back, and retorted: "No...... No way, we all have to bleed after we die, and the corpses will not disappear, how can it be as exaggerated as if you turned into white light and exploded into a bunch of data streams after you died. ”

"That's your stereotype." Peter Pan shrugged his shoulders: "You think it is reasonable for people to bleed when they are injured, and the existence of corpses is reasonable, maybe higher dimensional creatures will also set off fireworks when they die...... Just as the Mandate of Heaven system stipulates that our avatars will explode into a black stream of data when they are destroyed, maybe the life that created you will also set you to be injured and bleed! ”

"According to what you say, then I can continue to deduce, the high-dimensional creatures that created us are actually false existences created by higher-dimensional creatures......" Gu Fan frowned and said, "Wouldn't that be infinitely extended, with no end!" ”

"yes!" Peter Pan slapped his thigh and said loudly, "You understand now!" What we're talking about now doesn't make sense at all! Each layer of our world may actually be an illusory dream created by an unknowable being, and if we can't find the apex of existence, the so-called question of 'who is more real' is impossible to talk about at all! ”

"Why can't I be counted as a real life because I am a virtual life created by you? Of course, you can say that my current thinking patterns are all given by the system, but can I also say that your human minds are controlled by other creatures? But even if one day you are confirmed to be virtual beings created by beings of higher dimensions, you probably won't admit that your mind is controlled by humans, right? For you at least feel that no one can limit the freedom of thought. ”

"But you've been proven to be virtual beings made of data!" Gu Fan wiped the cold sweat on his head and said viciously.

"So what? At least my thoughts are up to me. At least I'm brave enough to admit it, at least...... I didn't blast into gibberish like those cowards who were struck by this fact! ”

Peter Pan proudly raised his head and proudly said: "There is only one kind of heroism in the world......"

“…… It is after recognizing the truth of life that he still loves life. ”
