Chapter 2: The Three Principles of the Surreal World
As the white light gradually dissipated, Xing Tianyu found himself standing on a rooftop with a familiar street scene in New York City.
"Huh? Why wasn't this time on the set of the TV series? Xing Tianyu asked with some surprise.
He thought they would cut into a TV series again this time.
Lasadis shrugged his shoulders, "How do I know that this kind of level of crossing itself is unreasonable, usually the world will accept us in a reasonable way and let us become a member of this world, but there is no way to determine what kind of identity will be arranged for us." ”
He said as he cautiously looked around, but found nothing suspicious.
"Maybe this time our identities are passers-by who ran to the rooftop to watch the scenery."
"Damn, my magic doesn't work again!" Sylvia complained that she had wanted to use prophecy to lock on to the location of the Purple Moon.
Narasadis waved his hand, "Don't worry, I have my own way to find your daughter, as long as she is in this world, I will definitely be able to find her." Lasadis said confidently.
"How?"
"There's no way to explain it, you just need to know that every time you cross the plane of reality, you leave some traces. Ordinary people naturally can't find it, but I can, by the way, your woman disappeared from your home, right? Now take me to the place where she disappeared. ”
Sylvia nodded suspiciously, and the two of them took Lasadis all the way to the address where Sylvia lived. This was still the old woman's home from last time, but this time the two did not enter, because, according to Lassadis, there was no need for such trouble.
Lassadis directly began to walk around with the two of them, but after two circles, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"How's it going? Did you find anything? Sylvia asked with concern.
Lassadis shook his head, "Nothing, no traces of crossing, by the way, are you sure your daughter is not in the real world?" ”
Sylvia shook her head, "I've tested them all with prophecy, positioning, and remote sensing, and there's no response at all, as if there is no such thing as her." The only explanation is that she ran away to another world. ”
"Well, I'm afraid my worst fears have happened." A wry smile appeared on Lassadis's face, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"What do you mean?" Xing Tianyu's heart sank and asked in a low voice.
"There's a good chance she's traveled to another world, the opposite of the absolute real world."
"You mean the surreal world?" Sylvia asked, after receiving an affirmative answer, Xing Tianyu's face couldn't help but change, Xing Tianyu was also heavy, both of them had heard Lassadis's description of the surreal world, and it felt like a very dangerous world, his daughter was just a little baby girl, without any ability to protect herself, in such a world, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous.
As if sensing the thoughts of the two, Lassadis shook his head, "Don't worry, that world is dangerous, but it's only for some people. Since your daughter is an orphan, there is probably no danger. ”
Lassadis had no clueless explanation, and there was no way to reassure the two of them.
"Whether it's dangerous or not, we have to rush to save her." Sylvia said, looking at Lasadis with Xing Tianyu, "You're going to help us, right?" ”
Lassadis nodded as he faced the two who were staring at each other. "I'll take you there, but, listen. The surreal world is very dangerous and is not a joke, so you must listen to me in this action. ”
Both nodded hesitantly. "We'll all listen to you, just let us find our daughter."
Xing Tianyu said, "Say, what do you need to pay attention to." ”
Seeing that the two of them agreed, Lassadis immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "This is what you said, if you don't listen to me and cause problems, I won't be responsible."
First, don't talk nonsense, in the surreal world, it's likely that a single sentence will lead to death, so think twice before saying anything. ”
Sylvia was a little incredulous, "Such an exaggeration? You're not kidding, are you? Or maybe there's a lot of bad-tempered people in that world, but we have magic. ”
Lassadis shook his head, "It's not a matter of strength, it's a matter of the rules of the world, in the surreal world, if it's an ordinary person, it's not so dangerous, but the more special it is, the easier it is to die, you know what it means to set up a flag, right?" ”
The two of them nodded their heads, a word that was all too familiar.
"This kind of thing usually works in film and television dramas, and in the real world, most of them have no practical significance, of course, they will be fulfilled occasionally, but they are generally just coincidences.
In the absolute real world, the flag will never have any effect, and even a coincidence is almost unlikely, but in the surreal world, the flag has an immediate effect. For example, "After doing this, I'm going to go back to my hometown and get married", if you dare to say it in the surreal world, then you can basically GG. ”
Xing Tianyu and Sylvia glanced at each other, both a little unbelievable, this sounds too incredible, but the two of them have experienced a lot, they have seen all kinds of strange things, plus they are eager to save the girl, they still nodded their heads, "Understood, we will never talk nonsense." ”
"The second thing is, don't use your superpowers casually, and if you can, don't show any unusual characteristics. ”
Xing Tianyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "Then why is this?" ”
"It's about the tone of the story, or the characters, in the surreal world, where everyone is part of a story, and everyone has their own character. For example, if you're an office worker who works 9 to 5 every day, then the tone of your story is a life movie, and you probably won't encounter anything bizarre in your life, and the biggest danger you can encounter is a car accident or lung cancer because you smoke too many cigarettes. ”
"But if you have a whim one day and you want to find some excitement. So you run to Chinatown, find someone to tell fortunes and divination in a gloomy tavern, or run to the corner of the library to find ancient books and occult knowledge. Then this act of yours will cause the tone of your story to change, and your story may become a fantasy movie, or worse, a supernatural movie, or even a supernatural horror movie, depending on what book you find and what you have experienced in the process, and then the demons and monsters will follow, and before you can react, you will already die, or end up with a fate worse than death. ”
"So in that world, you must not use your magic casually, that will cause you a lot of trouble, since everyone is initially set to be a piece of life, so as long as you don't do anything, then you are just a couple trying to find their daughter. But as soon as you use your superpowers, the tone of your story will immediately go off the rails, and God knows what will trigger. ”
The two of them couldn't accept it anymore, but they still nodded their heads. Xing Tianyu said in his heart that this guy must be fooling us, right? Still, he said, "Well, we don't use our magic lightly unless we have to, so what is the third?" ”
"How do you know there's a third?" Lasadis asked curiously.
"Because there's always going to be a third." Xing Tianyu said expressionlessly.
Lassadis thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense, that's right, there is indeed a third thing to pay attention to." In the surreal world, there is a beginning and an end to any event. It doesn't end abruptly, and it doesn't end halfway. Once you begin your quest, you are destined to start a story, so you must think of an end to your story and make it happen, and only when the story ends, can we leave that world. ”
This time, Xing Tianyu didn't ask why, but thought about it directly, "What do you think of the ending of [they have lived happily together since then]?" ”
Lassadis nodded, "Sounds good, then it's decided, you have to make sure that this ending happens, of course, there may be other endings, anyway, it depends on the situation, okay, if you're ready, then we're going to go." Lassadis said resolutely with a look of determination like a martyr on his face, as if he was about to run to the execution ground.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts, and grabbed Lassadis's hand again, and in a white light, the three of them disappeared again.
