Chapter 32: Fifteen Journeys Through the Titanic (8)

The problem of scarcity of supplies arose early and became serious. Some knowledgeable people have been hoarding food for a long time, after all, they don't know how long this strange situation will last.

The mayor is busy, and the sheriff has the idea of picking and not doing anything. As for the journalists, in addition to the quarrels, they are now starting to fall into a certain state of anxiety.

Even Ruth, who had been staying in the hotel for the past few days, felt this anxiety. She looked out the window at the sudden increase in the crowd of people vying for food on the street.

"I've been here before and never seen anything like this. Is such a thing common? Is this part of the life of ordinary people? ”

"There are a lot of troubles in the lives of ordinary people, but the situation in front of you is different from what you think. The city seems to be in some trouble. You see, many passengers who were supposed to leave with the Titanic were stranded here. ”

"Why didn't they leave?"

Lin Ming was reminded by Ruth's words, "Yes, these people can actually choose to leave." Although once they leave, they will disappear unless they return along the road. But it doesn't seem to be the case, as if you stay, it's likely that you won't choose to leave. This finding is interesting and worth looking into. ”

At this time, Jack and his friends are fighting with a group of people for food. Although he is a painter, he often wanders the streets. But now the whole city is in chaos, so he feels like his life is back to a darker time.

Just now, a group of doomsday propagandists in robes attacked a church in the city. They looted the church and smashed the statue of Jesus on the cross.

Others went to besiege the hotel where Lin Ming was staying. However, what they didn't expect was that the ground suddenly exploded outside the door of this hotel, and there was a continuous sound of landmines exploding.

Many people were frightened, and some even knelt down and began to pray in front of the hotel. Apparently the news was no longer hidden, and more and more people began to learn that they were trapped in the city.

Some people left, but those who knew them well were horrified to find that there was no way to find them again. Unless they come back voluntarily.

Some people are starting to break down and feel that the world in front of them has become unrealistic. Others shouted that maybe we were the only survivors. The unseen fog outside was engulfing humanity.

At this moment, when Lin Ming looked at the city that was beginning to fall into madness, he vaguely seemed to feel something different. Or rather, some unspeakable force is emerging.

But it was no longer possible to stay, as everything around them began to rapidly turn from reality to nothingness. Lin Ming: This is the fourteenth time that he has come out of the Titanic world.

This time the harvest is not small, especially when the unreality of the world begins to surge, Lin Ming feels more and more the uniqueness and incompleteness of the film world. So these worlds have to be in a constant cycle of reboots in order to continue.

There is another discovery, that is, although Ruth and Jack are important in the Titanic world, even if both of them die, then the world will automatically end. But if the two did not die, but did not participate in the plot, the plot of the Titanic would continue until it hit the iceberg, and it ended after being rescued. It also proves that there is another role in this movie that is as important as Ruth and Jack, that is, the Titanic itself. After all, the main plot actually happened on this dream wheel.

Lin Ming opened his notebook and wrote the fifteenth entry, which was tentatively scheduled to be the last. Then there is the goal of the experiment, if the Titanic had not been hit by an iceberg and sunk, then what would have happened next?

Then Lin Ming remembered the situation when the port of Southampton was crazy at the last moment, and the indescribable power he felt appeared. And this time he decided to put the main scene of the experiment on the Titanic.

In fact, if you want the Titanic, a dream ship, not to be sunk, it is very difficult to directly prevent the Titanic's maiden voyage. But more ingenious solutions can be found.

After all, the sinking of the Titanic was due to a series of coincidences in terms of plot.

For example, it is necessary to speed up the voyage and strive to reach New York at the fastest speed in the world. The captain wanted to be safe, but he was forced to do so. For example, when other ships sent a message to pay attention to the iceberg, they were scolded back by that stupid communicator. It is also said that the first mate locked the telescope, and the whole ship has no telescopes, so it can only rely on the naked eye. In addition, the steel casting technology used in the Titanic is not good, and the hardness is simply enhanced, which leads to the brittleness of the steel of the hull in a low temperature environment.

It can be said that as long as these things are not allowed to happen, or even warn of icebergs in advance, the possibility of the Titanic not hitting the iceberg will be greatly increased.

So if the Titanic hadn't hit the iceberg, would it have arrived in New York Harbor smoothly? After all, there is a shot of the Statue of Liberty appearing in the back, which proves that there is a possibility.

Of course, it is also possible that after the Titanic did not hit the iceberg, it would fall into the endless loop scene that it had encountered in the second crossing before. As a result, because the Titanic did not sink, the film could not end.

Now Lin Ming has a way to enter and exit freely, so he doesn't worry about the problem of not being able to leave if he falls into a loop. And he also guessed that if he fell into a loop, would it mean that he had left this world, and the plot world would not be restarted.

Anyway, Lin Ming felt that this time it was necessary to use the Titanic as a stage for an experiment, and he even felt that he should play bigger. For example, it makes the passengers on the ship collapse more completely.

The fifteenth time, Lin Ming thought silently in his heart, and after watching the scene around him begin to turn from virtual to real, he saw Jack gambling with his friends. Not far away, a luxurious-looking car drove slowly.

"Now that the plot has begun, then Jack, you can stay in Southampton quietly!"

Continue to knock Jack and his friends unconscious, and throw them into a random small hotel. Lin Ming has already appeared on the Titanic, still dressed as an aristocratic gentleman.

Anyway, in terms of clothing and habits, no one would not treat Lin Ming as those third-class passengers. I found a spare VIP warehouse. Then Lin Ming began to plan how to avoid the tragedy of the Titanic.

It has to be said that the world of cinema is better than the others in terms of fantasy and surreality. The luxury enjoyment on the Titanic surprised Lin Ming, a modern person. Of course, in terms of facilities, it is naturally not as good as those luxury cruise ships of modern times. But this unique style of the late Victorian era is still fascinating.

Anyway, the plot of Ruth jumping into the sea hasn't happened yet, and Lin Ming doesn't care. He stood directly at the bow of the boat and shouted "I'm king of the world!" in the sea breeze. From a certain point of view, Lin Ming is not talking big.

The beautiful scenery of the sea and sky, the endless sea, and the port of Southampton that is gradually starting to fade away. This allowed Lin Ming to find the fun behind the unreal side of the movie world.

It is a pleasure to be able to experience these beautiful scenery that is rare in reality, and to be personally involved in the plot.

Now Lin Ming has more or less begun to participate in it with a gamer's mentality. It's just that this kind of game is too realistic.

In the luxurious restaurant, Lin Ming had already seen Mr. Bruce, the investor of the Titanic, boasting about the ship, and sure enough, he heard Ruth's classic sarcasm quoting Freud.

"Do you know Freud, Mr. Isme? He studies men's emphasis on size, and you might be interested! ”

Lin Ming couldn't help but laugh, his voice was so loud that many nobles looked at him one after another. Instead, he was glared back with a gaze as sharp as if he had been stabbed in the eye by a sword.

Even Ruth, who was about to get up, looked at Lin Ming with some curiosity, as if she was a little strange, why did this person look so different from these hypocritical upper-class people around her.

Of course, at this time, it was not only Ruth's mother who felt ashamed, but also the investor who was sarcastically ridiculed by Ruth. So Bruce picked up his wine glass and asked Lin Ming, "This gentleman looks very eye-catching, and Your Excellency doesn't seem to be a citizen of our British Empire." ”

Of course, Lin Ming knew what Bruce was referring to, he didn't plan to follow the routine, but instead saw him suddenly take out a pistol from his waist and aim it at everyone at Ruth's table in the restaurant.

"I declare that from now on, this steamer has been taken over by myself! Now everyone is doing a good job for me honestly, who dares to move, just like this person. ”

After touching it, Carl was directly kicked to the ground by Lin Ming, and then Lin Ming pulled Ruth into his arms with lightning speed, and sniffed it with a wicked smile.

"Okay, now I have hostages, if any of you dare to move, tear up the ticket immediately!"

Then Lin Ming, in order to strengthen the effect, aimed at a chandelier in the restaurant is a shot, only to hear a bang, the chandelier fell to the ground. Many aristocratic men and women screamed, and some hid directly under the table.

There were also restaurant waiters who wanted to make a move on Lin Ming, but of course he was unceremonious, and smashed the shiny desert eagle in his hand on his head. Sure enough, the Desert Eagle's pistol was much better used as a hammer than a gun, and the brave squire rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.

The ship's seafarers, led by the first mate, soon surrounded the ballroom. Although Lin Ming was only one person, it was obvious that this guy was a thug, not to mention that he still had a gun in his hand.

You must know that the guests in this banquet hall are either rich or expensive, and it is not a trivial matter to hurt any of them slightly. So the first mate also has some rat throwers.

On the contrary, Ruth, who was held in Lin Ming's arms, rolled her eyes, obviously thinking about how to get out of the current predicament. Her mother, on the other hand, hid in fright, without the slightest courage. This provoked Ruth with a wave of disdain.
