Chapter 3: A Survivor's Nightmare
"I'm Ye Xuanyi, and this is my friend Nie Yuqian. What do you call it? Ye Xuanyi, a black and straight beauty, leaned forward slightly and took the initiative to introduce herself.
The incident just now was too weird, they couldn't figure out the situation at all, the boy in front of them was the only survivor who had the same experience as them, and he was extremely calm, Ye Xuanyi had many questions to ask him.
"Du Chao."
"They're all fine," Ye Xuanyi swiped her fingers and turned in a small circle, her eyes swept over the crowd in the carriage, and sighed softly, "It seems that we are the only ones who have experienced a terrible nightmare." ”
"Could it be that we had a dream? Headshots, deaths never happened at all? Just our hallucinations? After escaping the bloody Shura Hell, Nie Yuqian gradually calmed down her frenzied and frightened thoughts, stopped vomiting and screaming, and began to organize her thoughts and think calmly.
"Look at your phones, I think the damn game is still there." Du Chao shook his head helplessly, "I also hope it's just a nightmare, but unfortunately it's not." ”
"Why don't they remember all of them, only we do? Because we passed the test? ”
"Maybe that's it, we passed the test of this damn game and got the qualification to continue playing, so we saved our memories and they ......" Du Chao pointed to the "low-headed people" who were addicted to mobile phones in the carriage, and his eyes flashed with a meaningful light, "They are the eliminators." ”
Nie Yuqian sighed softly: "I really wish I was the eliminator." ”
Du Chao said expressionlessly: "It's not easy to complete the task, it's very simple to be eliminated, and the next task you don't do anything will naturally be eliminated, but no one can guarantee whether you are as lucky as the entry test after being eliminated, just erasing the memory." Maybe the next mission failure will be the end of death. ”
"Death?" Ye Xuanyi exclaimed, subconsciously covered her lips, and suddenly shuddered when she recalled the terrifying scene just now, and a look of horror flashed in her beautiful big eyes, "You mean to kill us in reality?" Why? ”
"It can't be!" Nie Yuqian shouted, "They're all fine." ”
"Nothing is impossible. Have you noticed," Du Chao pointed to the carriages in front and behind, and said: "Our carriage is full of corpses, blood is splattered all over the ground, but the passengers in the two carriages adjacent to us are all abnormal, as if nothing happened, and look at us like air, as if we don't exist at all." ”
"Really?" Ye Xuanyi couldn't help but ask, glanced at Nie Yuqian, shook her head slightly and said, "We didn't pay attention." ”
"Of course, you keep screaming together......"
Ye Xuanyi's face was slightly hot, she glanced down at Nie Yuqian, and then looked away, lowering her head and not daring to look at Du Chao.
Nie Yuqian didn't feel embarrassed, she screamed and vomited, so she ignored the ridicule of the little boy in front of her, and asked generously: "You also said that you were scared, what happened when we were scared?" ”
"It's nothing, anyone around me will be scared if their heads suddenly explode, and I'm scared too."
Nie Yuqian nodded, "You go on, why don't you sit down?" It is inconvenient to speak like this. ”
Du Chao sat directly opposite them, with a corridor in the middle, and in order to keep their voices secret, they deliberately kept their voices low, and the two sides had to talk very closely, leaning over to hear each other's words clearly.
Ye Xuanyi moved her body and squeezed towards Nie Yuqian, giving up half of her seat. Du Chao didn't say a word, dragged his suitcase and walked over in two steps and sat down.
"If the horror that happened just now is a dream, but I didn't know you before, and I can't explain that the three of us experienced the same dream together, unless we were collectively hypnotized."
"Maybe, maybe everyone in our carriage is hypnotized?" Nie Yuqian showed a rare smile, she also knew that Du Chao was joking, and echoed.
Du Chao pretended to smile lightly, "There is no need to hack into our mobile phones with collective hypnosis, isn't this an extra move?" ”
"If it's not a dream, how can we explain that we keep our memories while others lose them completely?" Ye Xuanyi asked.
"You've seen The Matrix and Inception, right?" Du Chao asked rhetorically.
Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi nodded, vaguely guessing the meaning of Du Chao's words, revealing a thoughtful expression.
"I think there are two possibilities for the weird incident just now, one is that "The Matrix" teleports all the passengers in our entire carriage to another time and space, so the people in the other carriages look at us like they are looking at the air, because the terrifying time that happened just now is not in this time and space at all, that is to say, in the eyes of those passengers, in their time and space, nothing happened, which can explain why they did not react."
Ye Xuanyi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, "That's a good science fiction, what about the second possibility?" ”
"The second possibility is like Inception, our bodies are still in the carriage, but our brains have experienced an illusory horror event," Du Chao said with his chin rubbed, "just like AR and VR, which are very hot right now." ”
"What AR and VR?" Ye Xuanyi asked curiously.
"It's virtual reality and augmented reality, using high-tech technology to create an immersive sense of vision and reality, and using vision to deceive the brain and deceive the body's senses."
"This statement is quite reliable, much stronger than any other time and space explanation." Nie Yuqian leaned forward slightly, looked past her female companion and looked directly at Du Chao and said with a smile.
"That is, no matter which one is possible, this ...... Damn the game, there's a terrifying mastermind behind it? Ye Xuanyi couldn't help but smile as she spoke, and shouted "damn game" with Du Chao's words.
She was indeed full of resentment about the sudden and terrible events.
Du Chao spread his hands, "It is a very powerful mastermind behind the scenes." This kind of high-tech that does not rely on external devices to create a real illusion with a mobile phone alone is very good. If it is used to make games, it can turn all the game companies on the market into slag. ”
"Heh, you're talking so lightly, like we're playing a game." Ye Xuanyi said mockingly.
Du Chao spread his hands very bluntly, "Otherwise, we are powerless to resist." ”
"But why us?" Nie Yuqian muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Pick at random." Du Chao glanced at the nine passengers with different expressions in the carriage, and sighed softly: "Not everyone can pass the test, we are lucky." ”
Nie Yuqian pouted and said, "I don't think it's lucky, it's a nightmare." ”
"Luck or nightmares, we don't have a choice."
Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi looked at each other speechlessly, Du Chao flipped the phone back and forth without speaking, and the three fell into a suffocating silence again.
After a while, Ye Xuanyi opened her mouth and asked Du Chao: "Are we going to collect the reward?" ”
Du Chao's calm analysis and reasoning allowed them to pass the damn game test, and the analysis of strange events has a certain amount of truth, and it can be logically self-consistent, at least more thorough and in-depth than Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi, and Ye Xuanyi naturally asked for his opinion.
Du Chao thought for a while and said: "Virtual reality, invading the mobile phone and implanting the APP, making such a big scene, I think the reward should not be bad." We have to continue the mission, but we can only improve our abilities, no matter what the reward items are, we should not miss them. Besides, this damn game says that if you don't claim the reward, you will be punished. Are you willing to eat a toast or are you willing to eat a penalty wine? ”
"I don't drink." Ye Xuanyi muttered.
Du Chao glanced at the time on his mobile phone and said, "The damn Death World has given twenty minutes, and the time should be enough." ”
Nie Yuqian and Ye Xuanyi didn't have any ideas, Du Chao said that they would go to receive the reward, and of course they followed.
Now the three of them are survivors at best, and guinea pigs at worst, riding in the same boat, and the only way to survive is to survive in the damned "world of death".
No one knows what the outcome of a failed mission will be.
