Chapter 56: NPCs

"Just the beginning?"; Lin Tianyi froze again, "This video is what you asked Xie Qi to find?" ”

"Part of it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info and it was discovered by chance. Shi Hantian said, turned off the video, and then opened another video.

"In other words, that man just now, I was a member of NASA in the legendary world?"

"Yes." Shi Hantian nodded.

After Shi Hantian finished speaking, the second video began. It's Paul, this time, walking alone on the road, looking like he's wandering aimlessly, holding the strange artifact in his hand.

[Looks like you've been teleported to another world.] The look looks much more natural. I guess I'm used to it. 】

The picture is a night of filming Paul wandering around, showing a curious look from time to time, feeling like he is traveling. Probably walked around in front of the camera for a minute or two. A sedan suddenly rushed out, and it was about to crash into a little girl in the distance. And at this moment, Paul magically held the little girl in his arms and flashed on the other side of the road.

Shi Hantian adjusted the video to the speed of playing by frames, and Lin Tianyi was able to see clearly that Paul moved to the little girl's side and rescued her at a speed that could not be observed by the naked eye. And quickly transferred.

When the owner of the car in the picture stepped out of the car with a confused look and wanted to see what would happen next, Shi Hantian paused the video.

"What did you find?" Shi Hantian asked.

"Paul got the ability, and just like us, an ordinary American colonel could not have such perverted speed."

After Lin Tianyi said this, the room was inexplicably quiet for several seconds. Lin Tianyi, who found that he didn't talk to Hantian at the time, glanced sideways at him and found that he was looking at him with a strange look.

Seeing Shi Hantian's expression, Lin Tianyi knew what he had overlooked, and instinctively shifted his gaze to the video again, and as time passed, Lin Tianyi's eyes became clearer and clearer.

"No, this video is not right! It's not a selfie, it's a roadside camera! This is not a video of Paul traveling to another plane to record himself, but a video that was accidentally captured by a probe. In other words, he returned to the Overworld where I am a legend? ”

Lin Tianyi glanced at Shi Hantian, thinking that he would get a positive answer, but Shi Hantian shook his head, "It's not that I'm a legend, this is the world we once lived in." ”

"What?"

"This is surveillance footage from all over the world that I have captured and have always kept. our world. Shi Hantian emphasized again.

"When you say our world, do you mean the one we once lived in, the world?"

Shi Hantian nodded.

This time, the particularity of the whole video is even more prominent. This Paul had actually traveled to the world in which he lived. Is this a coincidence?

"Do you think our current crossing has anything to do with him?" Lin Tianyi asked.

"Not sure, but I do think it's possible. However, there are no more clues to put this question aside, let's take a look at the clues we can see now.

First of all, since Paul can be recorded by the probe, then in other words, his crossing is not a spiritual crossing, but a real physical crossing. Unless the world we once lived in was also fake. ”

"Indeed, and his abilities have indeed improved, and if our current crossing is the same as his, then it is likely that we are indeed experiencing these worlds and changes in the flesh."

"Second, if our current situation really has to do with Paul, then this system is probably an established procedure."

"You mean, as you can see from the first video, this system was designed by a group of people, so it is likely that the system has definite rules and ways of playing, rather than being artificially changed and manipulated according to our situation?"

"If our time travel is really about Paul, then we can see that the people who developed the system have actually disappeared mysteriously. Otherwise, Paul wouldn't have gotten that mysterious... Symbols, let's name it like this for the time being, so the programs written in this system may not be modified by anyone. ”

"It is not ruled out that they deliberately left the talisman. It's the possibility of wanting to be discovered. ”

"Of course, at this point, I would like to say that the third point I have discovered, or that sentence, if our crossing has anything to do with Paul, then that is, this sigil was invented in the world where I am legendary. And we, just in time, caught up with the mission that I am a legend. And I, in the case of other purposes, accidentally found such a video. and his relationship with us. Do you think, too coincidental? ”

"You mean, the system did it on purpose?"

"No, think about it, if someone who designs a game, would they let the player look at the scene where they designed the game? What's the point? Increase suspense? Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, it is unlikely to be too small. ”

"You think someone is guiding you?" Lin Tianyi immediately understood what he meant.

"No, it's to guide us. I think that's probably just one of them. ”

Who will guide us? Could it be Paul? ”

"It's possible, but it's a pity that there are too few clues now. There isn't even a single definitive clue, it's all our reasoning. But having to think about this, it's very likely that someone wants us to discover this video and, at the same time, wants us to do something. ”

If it was Paul, did he want us to find him? Or rather, find that thing on him? ”

"Maybe, but I have a video here before we get to that."

When he said this, Shi Hantian's face was gloomy like never before. Lin Tianyi deliberately felt that there might be something terrible in the next video.

"Hi guys, I had a question that popped into my mind today, and I was going to do an experiment. After many crossings, my body has become inexplicably stronger, I don't know how to describe it to you, but he has changed. And what's even more exciting is that I slowly start to control myself to go to some of the worlds I want to go. I'll show you when I'm doing my experiments, and I'm sure you'll be amazed. Paul is in a laboratory in a cave at the moment.

Immediately after, he took out the talisman, and the picture around him gradually changed.

"Does anyone know this place?" Paul smiled, then moved the screen to see a large number of people in prison uniforms behind him, looking at the costumes and the surrounding buildings seemed to be a little old, "See that person?" I'm sure someone has recognized it, right? That's right, the prison guard in Shawshank Redemption is the one character I hate the most, so I will be more comfortable experimenting with him. Alright, guys, watch me put on a show for you. ”

With that, Paul moved quickly, almost instantly to the prison guard's side, knocked him unconscious, and resisted. Leave quickly.

Of course, these are all things that can only be seen clearly after slowing down the video.

Paul was fast, so he didn't know how the prisoners behind him reacted. Anyway, he now took Hitler into a dilapidated bungalow, and then broke it into pieces.

Judging from the cruelty of his attack, it can be seen that this Paul really hates this character.

Probably after venting, Paul flashed back to the cave.

"Okay, guys, the next part of the experiment begins, I'm going to enter Shawshank Redemption again, but the time is three hours after I just entered that point in time, yes, I'm sure you all understand, I just want to see if my actions will affect the original world."

After saying that, Paul entered the Shawshank redemption again. At this time, the prisoners all returned to their cells, but what made Paul look a little strange was that the prison guard he killed was still alive and continuing to live according to the original plot...

Shi Hantian paused the video.

Paul does remind us that even in the infinite stream novels I read in the previous life, the protagonist will not go back after leaving a plane. Just like we just did in I Am Legend, we completely disrupted the original development of that world, what impact would it have on that world? We ignored it, but Paul did it for us, and the world will not change its original trajectory because of the appearance of the traverser. However, Paul obviously killed one prison guard, so where did the second prison guard come from? ”

"If you analyze from this video alone, it seems that you can only draw one conclusion, that is, these worlds are fundamentally fake, a real world, since the original trajectory has been broken, it will inevitably change, and more importantly, the prison guard is dead, why will another prison guard appear to complete the original trajectory of this world."

"Unless everything in this world is data, Paul's appearance is like a glitch, just recode it..."Lin Tianyi felt more and more chills behind his back, because if Shawshank's redemption of the world is fake, that terrible fact has been lifted to the table and has to be faced.

"Paul has been to our world, and our world, is it true..."

Shi Hantian glanced out the window, and his eyes began to blur.

"I always thought that we were players in this system, and that the people in the world we lived through were, in your words, NPCs. But now it seems that it is very likely that we are NPCs ourselves..."
