"912 days?" After Lu Yuan heard this number, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, two and a half years." Dr. Caimen said, "After the last time we left this world, we had a meeting about the Otherworldly People, and we wondered if there was a way to trap an Otherworldly Man, and then we had this idea. ”

"That is, the world where people from other worlds live is conceived as A, and the world we live in is conceived as B, and World A can easily influence World B, just as a person can easily touch a crystal ball in front of him, and he can unscrupulously color this crystal ball, scribble on it, and even spit on it."

"And we, for the time being, have no way to stop the power of World A, so in this case, we might as well stop focusing on World A...... It's about creating a c-world! ”

"This C world and A world are completely disconnected, because they are separated from each other by a B world, as if A can touch the crystal ball unscrupulously, but he can't touch the inside of the crystal ball."

When Lu Yuan heard this, he finally understood what these people who were trapped in the world of [painting] were doing at this moment, and he spread his hands: "So, in this painting, this is what you call the C world, right?" ”

"Yes." Dr. Caimen said, "In this world, we don't seem to be controlled by that force, so we spent more than two years having hundreds of Foundation employees fall asleep around this painting one after another, and then bring all kinds of equipment parts into the world of this painting, assembling and building a base here little by little, and we even cultivate the land, grow food, and strive to ensure self-sufficiency in this world of this painting, and the reason why we are like this is waiting for you." ”

"Finally, after three years, you finally appeared, and we, too, finally brought you into this painting...... Now, tell us about it. ”

"Tell me what that power we didn't know about until now?"

Dr. Caimen said lightly...... However, it was these simple words that shocked Lu Yuan.

These people, just because they want to overcome an anomaly, can make hundreds of people voluntarily enter the world of this painting, and from then on, they are trapped in a painting, and they can never go back to the original world, and they will always be separated from their families, friends, and everything that was once themselves.

Until death......

I have to say, this kind of behavior is really stupid...... It is also worthy of people's admiration.

So Lu Yuan smiled, he saw a kind of stubbornness from NPCs, this kind of stubbornness...... It seems to be exactly the same as himself.

"Ark ......," he smiled, uttered the word, and waited quietly for the other party's reaction.

A second later.

"What is the Ark?" Dr. Caimen asked.

"Whew~" Lu Yuan exhaled deeply, he seemed to be very relieved and relaxed, and an overflowing emotion burst out from his heart, and it swept into every inch of his body with great comfort.

These NPCs, heard, heard the word.

This seems to represent a kind of victory! A transcendent dimension of victory, although this brief victory does not mean anything, but ...... Lu Yuan closed his eyes excitedly.

"You seem excited." Dr. Caimen asked faintly, obviously unaware of what a great moment he had just witnessed.

Lu Yuan eased his mind: "Yes, I'm excited because you heard it." ”

"What do you hear? The word ark? ”

"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Ark...... This is the power you have been looking for, the power that has always controlled you. The name of this power is the Ark! ”

Dr. Caiman's expression became solemn, and he immediately clicked on a communicator button beside him and shouted inside.

"Start preparing and document everything!"

At the same time as the beginning of this sentence, the whole world in the painting seemed to suddenly explode, the lifeless waiting was swept away, and those instruments, those staff, were all beaten in an instant, as if they had been waiting for this moment for more than two years.

Audio, video, text, abstract paintings, and a full 20 trained deep hypnotists are all ready, and from this second on, every word Lu Yuan says, even every breath, will be recorded.

Dr. Caimen looked at Lu Yuan solemnly: "Excuse me, what is [Ark]?" ”

Lu Yuan: "Ark is a game. ”

Dr. Caiman: "Games? Do you mean that kind of computer game? Or is it a concept? It's like 'close your eyes when it's dark'? ”

Lu Yuan shook his head: "It's not, it's a very peculiar type of game, there shouldn't be such a game in your world, but if it's in anime, or some science fiction-themed entertainment works, there should be a description of this kind of game." ”

Dr. Caiman: "Can you be more detailed?" ”

Lu Yuan thought for a while: "This is a kind of technology that can project the player's consciousness into the game world, it feels a bit like a dream, you can see me now and talk to me, but in fact, the 'me' you see is not 'me' at all, the real me is lying in a device called [Game Warehouse] now." ”

Dr. Caimen obviously understood Lu Yuan's words: "You are saying that you are just a kind of thought now, and what we see is just a carrier of your thoughts, right?" ”

Lu Yuan: "Yes. ”

When Caimen heard this, he obviously understood the premise quickly, but at the same time, he also seemed to think of something that he had a hard time accepting.

"So...... What are we? Eventually, he asked.

"You're NPCs." Lu Yuan said: "To put it simply, you are actually a kind of data, all of you are created by the system of [Ark], and your existence is actually to allow us [players] to better experience the fun of the game......

Because of this, the Ark system is able to change your thoughts, lives, time, memories, etc...... Everything about you exists under the control of a force that you will never be able to resist.

You guys...... It's just NPCs. ”

Lu Yuan's words were very straightforward, and they could even be said to be a little cruel.

Cruel enough that Dr. Caimen fell silent, his hands began to clench without saying a word.

The whole world in the painting, at this moment, is as silent as death.
