Chapter 747: The World Will Be on Fire
"The last sweet dream?" Hao Ren looked at Nolan in surprise, "What do you mean?" β
Nolan clasped his hands on his chest, lowered his head so that people couldn't see her expression clearly, and could only see a pair of thin lips pursed slightly: "Actually...... I can occasionally hear voices from the 'waking world', and although it is very, very vague, I know that there is a real world outside of this false planet......"
Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "You didn't tell me this before. β
"I didn't know how reliable you were," Nolan bit his lip, "You just keep your memories, that doesn't say anything about your character and will." And I only hear some 'sounds' occasionally, and I'm not even sure if they're really from the 'waking world', except this time, it's clear. β
Nolan explained a few more words, and Hao Ren roughly figured out what the other party's situation was. In short: the peculiarity of this girl is not limited to her ability to retain memories in reincarnation, she is more aware of the operation of the "simulation program" behind this world.
No wonder she is so determined to see the world as a bad stage, and often uses the words "director" and "script" to describe the life she has experienced. This is not only because of the hundreds of reincarnations that make her feel this way, but also because she is really aware of the existence of the "fabricator".
It's just that her sense of the "waking world" is extremely weak, and it is not even much more reliable than ordinary auditory and visual hallucinations. Occasionally, she can hear or see scenes from the future, or sense a transcendent consciousness whispering in her ear, like a child who accidentally lifts the curtain while running around the stage, and glimpses the gaffer and prop rack behind the curtain. Those short but impressive messages made her realize the unreality of this world.
These occasional encounters with information are very rare, and most of them are accompanied by interference and trance by Yan zhΓ²ng. If it was an ordinary person, it would probably be regarded as an illusion once or twice, but Nolan has been exposed to it many times. Almost every time she is reincarnated, she has to hear or see a few seconds of "strange vision", and in this way, she has become convinced of the existence of the "waking world" or the "real world".
Nolan was a little vague when describing the sounds and images, as if she didn't know how to summarize what she saw, so Hao Ren had to guide her beside her: "How does it feel to hear or see those things?" Did you see a real-world scene? Or is it just a subconscious ...... Intuition that makes you feel like you're seeing something? β
"Probably the latter," Nolan nodded, "those things are always abstract, and there are no clear pictures or sounds in hindsight. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing something like 'fate'. Although it is not a concrete image, I directly understand the future direction of the world, and sometimes it is ......"
Nolan frowned, thinking hard before he knew how to describe the feeling: "It's like a different perspective, I feel a consciousness that is beyond human beings, very vast, very complex, looking down at all the information of the whole world. I guess that perspective is the 'program' of the world. β
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Hao Ren suspiciously: "The questions you asked are very specific. Do you know anything? β
Hao Ren waved his hand: "This is not important. I'm interested in that 'transcendent' perspective that you talked about, can you still feel it now? β
Nolan shook his head slightly: "I can't feel it." It's not something I can control. β
Hao Ren looked into Nolan's eyes: "Then what is the 'last sweet dream' you said before?" β
"That was when this new stage was just launched......"
According to Nolan, she heard the voice of the "fabricator" just as the world had just finished resetting. Even though she couldn't make out what the voice was saying with her human comprehension, a thought-like sensation made her understand something. It was a thought that flashed through the creator as he turned on the stage: this was probably the last time the world was reset.
"I don't know what's going on in the real world, but it seems like the reincarnation is coming to an end," Nolan's eyes wandered a little. She was already used to continuous reincarnation, but what happened suddenly at the moment broke her habit. These things that are beyond experience make her feel uneasy," ...... The fragments of thought that poured into my head can be summed up in just six words: this is the end. β
Hao Ren muttered almost to himself: "What will happen after the end of reincarnation? β
"I don't know. Maybe the world will be at peace, and the current 'script' will be the final stage, and it would be great if that was the case," Nolan seemed to smile at the corner of his mouth, but the smile was quickly replaced by coldness, "Unfortunately, such an idea is probably unrealistic. Maybe this world will end together. β
Although haunted to admit it, Nolan's second guess is clearly more likely.
At this time, Nolan suddenly looked up at Hao Ren: "I have answered all your questions, can I tell you about it now?" β
Hao Ren was about to open his mouth to answer, but he heard the voice of the terminal from the spiritual connection: "Partner!" Can you hear it? We're here! β
Hao Ren was happy in his heart, and said that the situation finally went smoothly once: "Oh, I can hear it, it's very clear, it seems that the signal is good this time, what's the situation over there?" β
Before the terminal could answer, Lily's voice suddenly interjected: "Let's not talk about our situation yet!" 100,000 people over there are in a hurry!! β
"What?"
The number jΓΉ terminal took over the communication again: "This machine will send you the picture from the outside." β
Almost at the same time as the terminal voice fell, Hao Ren had an extra set of images from a third-party perspective in his mind, and he saw a brilliant golden-red light enveloping his entire field of vision with overwhelming momentum, a large ball of flames spread across the earth, the sky was burning with raging fire, and a third of the horizon had been ignited by a dazzling arc. Hao Ren was taken aback by this spectacular scene: "What is this?!" β
"Drom! The planet is setting into the sun in the real world! The global fires have been burning for an unknown amount of time, and the earth's crustal structure is slowly disintegrating - 100,000 urgent! β
Hao Ren was stunned for a full five seconds this time, and finally squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "...... It's not something that can be done by one ship......"
Nolan heard him talking to himself and looked at him curiously, "What did you say?" β
"This world is indeed coming to an end, but it is beginning to collapse from the real world," Hao Ren grabbed Nolan's wrist, "Don't you want to know what I do?" Well, believe it or not - I'm from the real world, the place you call 'sober'. β
Nolan glared: "It's not funny to make this joke all of a sudden." β
Hao Ren patted his head, he knew that the other party would react in this way, because in this virtual space where everything is possible, he can't prove his real-world identity at all, or even prove that he can contact the real universe outside - his words and even real evidence can be regarded as simulated by this world. That's why he didn't explain the situation to Nolan in the first place, because he didn't know what to say!
When neither your actions nor the evidence are more credible than an empty word, many things have no explanatory value.
Hao Ren waved his hand to Nolan to calm the other party for a while, and at the same time called the number of terminals in his mind: "How long do we have left?" β
"About forty-eight hours. It's unclear where the ontological 'server' of the virtual world is, let's just assume it's deep in the earth's crust, but now that Zom's shell has been torn apart by the sun's gravity, no matter how strong its underground equipment is, it can't last more than forty-eight hours. β
"it!" Hao Ren almost jumped up, "It's too late for the fuck to do anything!" β
His shout was not only in the spiritual connection, but even blurted out, Nolan couldn't help but look him up and down with suspicious eyes: "...... you?"
"There's no way, the situation is urgent, I have to accompany me," Hao Ren said quickly, and at the same time took out a small communicator from his personal space and stuffed it to Nolan, "This is for you, it's a communicator, press this button to contact me directly." It's okay if you don't believe I'm from the real world, but if you hear the voice of the 'fabricator' again, or see any movement in the world's background, contact me immediately, understand? If anything else anomalies happen in this world, report them as well! β
After saying this, Hao Ren directly issued an order to wake up the sleeping cabin, and his figure disappeared out of thin air at once, leaving only Nolan, who was still a little unable to react, watching this scene in a daze.
After standing for a long time, Nolan muttered thoughtfully: "This person is really...... Gone to the real world? (To be continued......)
