003 - Brain-Burning Reasoning

Ignoring the pop-up window on the computer, Chen Chen stared at the sudden hat next to the computer, revealing a solemn look.

He can be sure that he doesn't have a hat next to him in front of the computer.

Moreover, this hat ......

It's all too familiar, isn't it......

Chen Chen stretched out his hand with some hesitation and took the hat in his hand.

The hat is made of canvas, which has a slight roughness to the touch, and the color is khaki, like the shape of a peaked cap, only the size of a palm.

By all accounts, it doesn't look like a hat that a human can wear.

Flip the hat over, and inside the hat is a white polyester sewn sticky note, and a few lines of English are written on the sticky note:

“IF LOST RETURN TO:”

“Harry Goodman; 1722 Green St.Ryme Clty。 ”

Translated, it means:

"If lost, please return it to: Harry Goodman, 1722 Green Street, Lime."

This is......

Chen Chen gasped, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.

He jerked his head back and looked at the computer screen, only to realize that the movie had been automatically terminated.

This is Pikachu's cap from the movie!

At this moment, Chen Chen only felt absurd and incredulous, he quickly bent down and looked at the bottom of the bed!

No one!

He quickly stood up and looked at the upper bunk!

No one!

He quickly opened the drawer of his desk!

Still no one......

It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no one in the dormitory that he had to believe that it wasn't a prank by his roommate.

What's more, even if it is a prank, how would the other party know that he will definitely open the movie "Detective Pikachu" at this time?

But if not a prank, then what would it be?

Because I opened the movie myself, the computer extracted the hat from the movie?

What an international joke!

What's more, it's not the first time I've watched this movie on a computer, so why is this the only time this happens?

Suddenly, Chen Chen seemed to think of something, and he suddenly focused his gaze on the black USB flash drive!

What the hell is it doing?

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes.

I don't know if it's because of the light or the psychological effect, at this time, the shell of the USB flash drive seems to be mottled a lot.

The USB flash drive, which was originally black, was now covered with a layer of darkness, just like metal that had been stuck in the air for a long time and was oxidized by the air.

Is it a change in the USB flash drive, or is it ...... Memory error?

Chen Chen didn't believe in evil, he closed the pop-up window of "program error", and double-clicked the movie "Detective Pikachu" again.

However, the "Program Error" message reappeared on the screen.

The file is broken again?

Chen Chen frowned, he thought about it, tried to click delete, only to hear the computer's "swish", the movie in the USB flash drive was really deleted......

Chen Chen was stunned, he still remembered that when he deleted other movies before, "Program Error" was displayed, and he thought that the movies in the USB flash drive could not be deleted.

So, he tried to delete the original horror movies in the USB flash drive again.

However, the result remains the same, and every time I delete it, the computer will pop up a "program error" window.

"Could it be that only movies that have been played can be deleted?"

Chen Chen was thoughtful, he opened the local D drive again, dragged "Detective Pikachu" to the USB flash drive again, and then tried to delete it.

"Boom!"

Sure enough, the movie files that were copied again could not be deleted either.

So Chen Chen clicked on the movie again, and this time the movie played as always, without any abnormality.

Chen Chen, who was in front of the screen, kept recalling that he seemed to be missing his dog before, and at the same time tied his emotions to the character of Pikachu, and then what happened next.

So, Chen Chen fast-forwarded the video to the stage of Pikachu's appearance, and at the same time imagined extracting Pikachu from the movie again.

After a few seconds, the movie closes again, and a "Program Error" window pops up.

At the same time, a hat that is exactly the same as before appears on the right side of the computer!

It turned out to be true!!

Chen Chen's eyes widened, although he had already prepared, no matter how he observed, he couldn't see how this hat appeared in this position.

It just appeared out of thin air, right?!

Chen Chen picked up the two hats together for comparison, but found that both the details and the handwriting on the label were exactly the same.

It's as if God created two identical things at the same time.

"Is it really the USB flash drive?"

Chen Chen said incredulously, he looked at the USB flash drive again, but found that the USB flash drive was a little darker than before, like a useless item abandoned in the corner.

"This thing is ...... wear out"

Chen Chen immediately understood that every time he extracted something from the movie, the energy of the USB flash drive would be consumed.

So, what energy does this energy belong to?

Electrical energy?

Solar energy?

Or is it some other type of energy that is beyond human technology?

More importantly, can this energy be replenished? Is this USB flash drive disposable, or can it be recharged?

Also, why is it that the USB flash drive can only generate its hat, even though he imagines Pikachu? Is it a lack of energy, or is there something else?

And, if you open other movies yourself, can you extract the things from those movies as well?

All these questions whistled through Chen Chen's mind, and he took a deep breath to suppress the excitement that made his whole body tremble.

Calm, calm......

Chen Chen kept taking a deep breath, and at the same time got up and walked to the door of the dormitory, directly locked the dormitory, and then returned to the computer to think silently.

There are too few clues, and multiple trials are needed.

However, the energy of the USB flash drive simply cannot support multiple tests, so what should I do?

Thinking of this, Chen Chen took out a blank notebook from the drawer, controlled his trembling hands, and wrote the word "principle" on the first page.

"Principle: Unknown."

How to use the existing scientific principles to explain the phenomenon of the mysterious USB flash drive?

Indeed, with the knowledge reserve of Chen Chen's brain, he couldn't explain everything that happened just now.

Why can a movie be made up of code and frames of imagery?

"Guess: aliens? People of the future? Brain in a vat? ”

After writing the second paragraph, Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh at himself, and turned to write the third line.

"Ability: Ingest/embody the things shown in the video into reality (seemingly excluding living things) through the minds of the person watching the video"

Chen Chen guessed that he was thinking about Pikachu twice, but only the hat was extracted, that is, the USB flash drive could not embody a living life.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is the cause of the lack of energy.

Chen Chen clicked on the movie again, and the program error window popped up on the screen again, and then he tried to delete it.

With a bang, the movie was deleted smoothly.

"Sure enough, after the substance is extracted, it can be deleted from the USB flash drive."

In other words, you can put any movie in the USB flash drive, but you can't delete it.

If you want to delete the movie, you can only extract something from the movie and damage the movie file.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen wrote again:

"Rule 1: Videos can be imported, but they cannot be deleted at will after they are imported, and the files must be damaged;"

"Rule 2: As it stands, it seems that only an item can be extracted from the video to damage the video;"

"Rule 3: Extractables have not been tested for size, weight, and other objective factors."

Finally, Chen Chen looked at the USB flash drive itself.

"Appearance: The appearance has changed from new to old, and it has not yet been determined whether it is an energy problem......
