Chapter 292: Dinner
"You're finally here, I thought you were going to miss your appointment!"
Ma Sang Anshi laughed and stood up, the square-faced elderly scholar wearing a sophisticated brown tweed coat and looking in high spirits.
Datian Liran next to him also laughed at Tang Juyi:
"It's not easy, I've waited for you for so long, but it's not in vain."
On this dining table, the only vacant seat is the position directly opposite Ma Sang Anshi, and Tang Juyi did not hesitate, he directly pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Because I'm late, I'm sorry for being late, so I'll give you a glass first."
Tang Juyi didn't talk nonsense, he just picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, as if he was not surprised by everything in front of him.
Swallowing the wine in his throat, Tang Juyi smashed his mouth and looked at the "Tang Juyi" on his right hand, that is, Tang Er with his own face:
"Still, I'd like to start by asking a somewhat silly question - who am I coming to the dinner now that 'I' am already sitting here?"
While speaking, Tang Juyi raised the silver spoon in his hand and glanced at it, with an expected appearance:
"I really can't see my face."
Ma Sang Anshi held the wine glass and looked at Tang Juyi very kindly:
"It depends on who you want to be."
Chichimari also spoke, although his tone still carried his own coldness, but it was more cordial than when he had seen it in the past:
"It's your own choice, and it's the needle and thread that determines the outcome. What kind of truth you get depends entirely on how you weave it. β
Ishikawa Ka, who was in a long white dress, said with a grin:
"Don't be too nervous, it's not the final moment yet, it's just a dinner before the send-off."
Tang Juyi looked Ishikawa Xiang up and down:
"Look at your outfit, the woman in white who reminded me again and again is you, right?"
Ishikawa smiled, but did not respond positively to Tang Juyi's words.
Then, Tang Juyi looked at Datian Liran again, looking at this polite man with eyes:
"It's funny, your image is so prominent here......"
With a long sigh, Tang Juyi rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little annoyed:
"With such a large amount of information at once, it makes it difficult for me to do it, everyone."
Ma Sang Anshi also sat down again, with a teacher-like posture of guiding students, trying to inspire Tang Juyi's thinking:
"I'm sure you have a vague answer. From the very beginning, everything you encounter has a unique meaning. β
Tang Juyi smiled:
"Your words are meaningless...... Of course, I knew that what was going on to happen to me was meaningful. But there are so many threads that it's not a simple project to put them together. β
With a sigh, Tang Juyi chose to pick up the knife and fork and cut the steak in front of him:
"First of all, one thing is certain, the corridors, elevators, counseling rooms, and even the laughing town rituals that I experienced at the beginning were all invaded dreams."
Ma Sang Anshi didn't care about Tang Juyi's previous ridicule, and still smiled gently:
"Why do you judge that?"
Tang Juyi took a bite of the steak and said vaguely:
"Narrator. When the narration appears, it means that I am being viewed and read as a story. At first, I didn't understand the meaning of this retarded setting, but then I came to realize the role of narration β reminding me of my current situation and allowing me to distinguish between intrusive dreams and reality. β
Swallowing the meat in his mouth, Tang Juyi continued:
In other words, the first floor of the elevator, and the second and third floors, are not the same world. Moreover, the coherence of the world plot on the second and third floors is also reversed, which is not consistent with the floors they mark. These two doubts are very interesting, and they led to the formation of my subsequent conjectures. β
Ma Sang Anshi showed a satisfied smile, and Datian Liran also spoke at the right time:
"What's your guess?"
Tang Juyi put down the knife and fork, and the look on his face gradually became calm:
"The elevator floor is nothing more than a faΓ§ade, and what really says it all is actually the number of the room in that hallway."
Hearing this, Datian Liran's eyes also began to have a look of surprise:
"You meanβ"
β1408 γβ
Tang Juyi's expression revealed the taste of memory:
"Room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel, I have to say, is indeed a very classic plot setting. As a horror film, the suspense elements in it can be said to be completely full. β
"1408 is a hint that I have never walked out of that horrible dream, never. In that movie, the protagonist thinks countless times that he has escaped the horror of room 1408, when in fact he is just spending time and again in the dreams created by room 1408, and I, too. β
Tang Juyi cocked Erlang's legs and methodically recounted his judgment:
"I've been wondering why I forced the decision before the narration was arranged, but it didn't affect the direction of the plot at all, and now I can only conclude that the elevator structure doesn't exist, and no matter which floor I choose to go to, I will have to go through everything according to someone's arrangement."
"The Laughing Town Ritual is just to let my guard down, to make me mistakenly think that there will be random horror events in the style of Dark Zhiju in the course of the plot experience, so that I will not consider another possibility......"
Speaking of this, Tang Juyi showed an evil smile:
"Of course, this possibility is creepy enough - it's not the horror of the Dark Zhi House interspersed in the plot, but the whole story, which is the horror of the Dark Zhi House."
As soon as these words came out, everyone sitting around the dining table was slightly shocked.
"What shall I call him? [Dream]? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter...... Whether it is the so-called real world that I experienced before, or the world of the Laughing Town ritual, or the original corridor, it is the content of this horrific event. β
Looking at the reactions of these people, Tang Juyi's smile became more and more weird:
"I gradually understood this after encountering Xenophilia. Obviously, the 1st floor and the 2nd and 3rd floors are two separate worlds, but there will be footprints of Dark Zhiju...... It is easy to draw such a conclusion by contacting the above clues. β
"The invaded dreams and the disguised reality have been constructed into my experience so far, and the combination of the two is what I will ultimately face in this mission."
It seemed that he was a little thirsty, Tang Juyi casually picked up the cup of "Tang Juyi" next to him and took a sip, and said "sorry" without apology at all.
Then, Tang Juyi glanced at the people in front of him, and his eyes gradually deepened:
"Then the next problem that needs to be solved is the meaning of your existence......"
"Interestingly, I also found a lot of clues......"
