Chapter 138: Conjecture of the Inner World
Looking at these people in the coffin and thinking about our previous speculation, we can quickly deduce that they are souls lying in it like us, but our souls are alive and their souls are dead.
In other words, most of these people's souls were extracted from the same situation as what happened to us, and unfortunately they did not realize that they were in a 'dream', and as a result, their souls died here, became ghosts, and were buried in coffins, which is the origin of the coffins where ghosts are buried.
"It reminds me of a saying." Jia Ren looked at the coffin and said, I turned my head and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"I'm sure you've heard of the inner world and the table world." Jia Ren withdrew his gaze and looked at me.
"Isn't that the world view of the game Silent Hill?"
I played a lot of horror games in search of inspiration, and one of the best horror games, the Silent Hill series, has been played several times, and the core world view of this game is the distinction between the inner world and the surface world.
"Why are you still involved in the game?" Leizi was curious, and when I saw his appearance, I knew that he was not a gamer, and I explained to him with a smile, "The watch world is a strange space where we are in reality, like the place we saw after we entered here before. ”
I circled my fingers and continued, "The inner world is obviously a different world, and the inner world cannot be entered directly from the real world, but must be entered from the surface world.
The description in the game is that this is a world with no light and only darkness, although occasionally there is a small amount of light in some places, in the inner world, the walls are often covered with water, blood and mildew, and even sometimes the whole world is made up of rusty iron mesh or iron products, and corpses can be seen everywhere in the inner world, and the roads that can be passed in the surface world are sometimes impassable in the inner world, but there are also cases in which the reverse is true, the explanation of the inner world in the game is that the inner world always shows the deepest negative emotions of the subconscious of the people who enter the inner world. ”
I told Leizi the explanation of the inner world in "Silent Hill", and the latter nodded: "Listening to you say this, our current situation is very similar to the inner world. ”
"Isn't it?" Jia Ren walked over and added: "You see these people, in the surface world, they are all purple skin corpses, but in the inner world, it looks like this, a corpse corresponds to a person, and the location and identity can be matched, and we are going to the place where the four corpses are placed is the place where we can return to the table world." ”
"No, no, this is not the same as the game, although the world inside and outside is very similar to our current situation, but I still tend to the term lucid dreaming, you think about it, just now we walked straight out of the half-human-high cave, if it is the inner world, then there is definitely no way to do it, and the most divergent point is that whether it is in the surface world or the inner world, people are the whole person to enter and not like us The soul is stripped from the body to enter."
"That's right."
After I finished speaking, Jia Ren nodded, and he slapped his thigh, "It doesn't matter if he's a lucid dream or an inner world, anyway, if we go down our own way, we will definitely be able to get to the place where the four corpses are placed." ”
I looked around, it was a bit difficult to find the doors from memory, and the easiest way was to walk in a straight line, and then walk along the wall after walking to the end, so that the people lying in the coffin would not be attacked if they woke up against us, and that our walking path would not be deviated.
The three of us were very fast, and within a few minutes we were in front of the wall, and I couldn't see the end of the wall when the flashlight shone left and right, so I took out a shovel and carved a symbol on the wall, so that I didn't have to worry about going around in circles.
"Eh, can we still trust that old Luo?" Jia Ren asked behind me, and I sighed, "Hey, let's talk about it, the enemy is clever at this point, and he only started brainwashing after pulling us in, and our brains are on their side so they can easily affect our judgment, so we still have to wait until we return to the physical body to ponder and ponder, and it is best to see Lao Luo face to face for verification." ”
"How to verify? If he is really the enemy who plots all this, will he tell us the truth directly? Jia Ren sneered, I was speechless, now I really can't trust Lao Luo, just because of what the old man said, and the attitude of the 'Mo Daoist' I saw before.
"Actually, you don't have to think about this, we can only believe that the three of us can fully trust each other now, as for the others, we have to try and test after meeting to know, I have to say that the magic of the door is really powerful, it feels like it is directly tampering with people's subconscious, it stands to reason that Mo Daochang I completely trust it, but now when I think of him, I always unconsciously have an extra guard in my heart."
Leizi's words completely entered my heart, and we still didn't see those doors after walking for more than ten minutes, at this time Jia Ren behind him sighed lightly, and after I turned my head, he pointed to the wall, "Isn't this the mark you carved just now?" We're back in circles? ”
"It's unlikely."
I leaned over to see that it was the symbol I had carved myself, but the strange thing was that we had only turned a corner before, and it was impossible to return to the original point from the perspective of space.
"The wall was at a right angle after we reached the end before, how did we turn a corner and come back?" I muttered, my mind full of question marks.
"What was the shape of this place before?" Leizi asked, I squinted and thought for a while and shook my head, "I don't know, we didn't walk against the wall, but judging from the results of Lao Luo's out-of-body observation, this is a rectangular space, what's wrong?" ”
"It's not impossible to turn a corner and get back to where you are." Lei Zi said and squatted on the ground and took out a dagger to draw a right angle, he pointed to the long line that was horizontal and said, "We started along this straight line, and after turning the corner, we came to this straight line." ”
"Ah, what's wrong? Tell me how to get back to square one. Jia Ren asked, Leizi continued to use the dagger to extend an arc on the short straight line and then drew a circle and fell to the other end of the bottom straight line, I suddenly realized, "You mean, this place is an irregular fan, we are actually moving along the arc so we returned to the original point." ”
"Hey! I didn't think of that! Jia Ren patted his head and then sighed: "But this doesn't matter at all, the important thing is that we didn't find the door, right?" ”
Jia Ren's words poured cold water on us, and just as I got up and turned on my flashlight to look around to see if there were any other clues, I suddenly heard the roar of stones in my ears.
