[Task 3 has been completed, and the main quest is being refreshed]

[Task 4: Take the elevator and leave Jushan Psychiatric Hospital]

The system prompt sounds, and the burning ceremony ends. After a short time, the disciple who had given the order to execute just now slowly walked over with heavy steps, first solemnly drew a cross on his chest with his right hand, and then bowed slightly and said respectfully: "According to the instructions of Father Nick before his death, I will lead two messengers to the gate of heaven, please come with me."

After hearing this, Zhen Shifeng and Bing Xue couldn't help but look at each other, so it seems that the plot of the script has entered the end, and the so-called gate of heaven is probably the elevator gate mentioned in the mission.

Sure enough, around the corner from the church hall stood a small elevator door with a folding sliding type. The disciple who led the way stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture, and at the same time said, "My mission has been completed, and there is the gate of heaven ahead, from which the two messengers can return to heaven, hoping that they can continue to bring the light we hope for in the future, then, take my leave." With that, the believer bowed again, and soon disappeared into the darkness at the end. Only the unknown Zhen Shifeng and Tianjian ice and snow were left, as well as the crackling execution fire in the distance that had not yet burned out.

"So............... Is this the end of the script? Bing Xue frowned slightly.

Brother Feng pouted and smiled, spread his hands and said, "I see that Bingxue girl is full of sorrow and doubts, you must also have some scruples in your heart, right?" In my opinion, this ending is a little unnatural. ”

"Well, that's true, at least in the end, you have to design a finale level like an existence boss to make sense, I should say it's quite unnatural." Speaking of this, the ice and snow girl was suddenly stunned, and her slightly frowning brows furrowed even tighter, "Think about it carefully, what is the purpose of the priest bringing us here?" Before, we were cut off from the circuit, and now we have set us on fire without saying a word, and as a result, we have provided another way to escape. Inconsistencies aside, the main quest is also very messy and unreasonable, which is really strange. ”

"The Ice and Snow Girl is actually the same as me, not bad, yes, and has the potential to become a good detective. But......... Is there one thing you've overlooked? Zhen Shifeng replied in time.

"First of all, don't compare my IQ to that of a weirdo like you, and secondly, what is so strange about the oversights you mean to be a side quest that hasn't been completed yet?"

"Of course it's strange, don't you think that the main quest is a little too light compared to the side quests?"

"............" Bing Xue was speechless on the spot, thinking about it carefully, the messy main line and the orderly branch line are obviously more important than the meaning of the latter's existence.

"As far as the main quest is concerned, whether it's using a pass card to open the door, going to the church through the sewers, or now taking the elevator to get out of the hospital, it's nothing more than the word 'escape' that stands out. And what about side quests? Summed up in four words: investigate the truth. In contrast, the content of side quests is more in line with the player's identity as a reporter, and the suspicion that the system is avoiding the important and trivializing it is also on paper. This is the most unreasonable part of the whole script, and it is not just reflected in the ending! ”

After such an explanation, Tianjian Bingxue suddenly realized, but then another extremely important question was put on the table, "In this way, the real purpose of the system to avoid the important is to give the unsuspecting us a fatal blow at the last moment, right?" ”

"Not at all, it seems that you still haven't understood what I am trying to say." Zhen Shifeng ruthlessly dismissed the ice and snow girl's point of view, and said solemnly: "These unreasonable places do not mean that the system will be taken by surprise at the last moment, on the contrary, I think that taking the elevator and leaving the script will definitely end." ”

"Uh............ Well, I'm getting out of step with your thinking. ”

"It's okay if you can't keep up with the rhythm, I'll help you reorganize it now." After that, Zhen Shifeng took back his own camera from Bing Xue and continued: "As you can see, our identity is reporters, and it is our duty to investigate the truth behind the incident. But the system has set the investigation of the truth as a side task, and 'escape' has become the main line, which is not in line with the 'conscience and responsibility of a righteous reporter' mentioned in the opening CG, could it be that Miles and Emily are just two reporters who can only play empty words, and the system is deliberately slapping themselves in the face? ”

"Let's look at it from another angle, generally speaking, side quests are at most a branch of a series of main quests, and their content is designed within the framework of the main quests. As the plot progresses, the main line will be gradually revealed, and the branch lines will also surface. However, this script does not play cards according to common sense, it should be said that "boldly revealing the truth" and "running away like a desperate person" not only cannot serve each other, but are also full of all kinds of contradictions, which cannot be justified in any reason. ”

"Other than that, what makes me suspect the most is the so-called truth mentioned in the side quest, which is the brain-consciousness separation experiment. In my opinion, the focus of this experiment is on the word 'separation', in other words, the consciousness produced by the human brain can be used as an independent existence under the influence of this experiment, without the need for the human body to be the carrier. So the question is, if taken literally, why do psychopaths have mutations in their bodies and not their brains? The content of the experiment is completely inconsistent with the actual reflected effect. ”

These are my three points. Based on the third point, I have a bold guess that the world in front of me is not real, but a virtual world created by separate consciousness. Just like the principle of this online game, the ontology is in reality, but the consciousness enters the online world. ”

"In combination with the first two points, if we must focus on 'truth' supplemented by 'escape', then it just expresses the meaning of 'escape from virtual consciousness'. So that's how the system sends a message to us: there is a hidden quest in this script, and that quest needs to be triggered by a break from the unreal consciousness! ”

After the words fell, Zhen Shifeng couldn't help touching his chin, with a smug expression on his face. As he expected, Tianjian Bingxue was already dazed by this series of reasoning bombardments, and there were only four words on his face: Unclear and powerful! But her mind is also quite flexible, and after a while, she understood what Zhen Shifeng wanted to express from it, and after careful analysis, there was indeed some truth.

"I'm not 100% sure, but I'm crazy and willing to take the risk, so ............... How does the Ice Girl choose between taking the elevator alone and leaving Anxin to get an ordinary mission reward, or going with me to the hidden world to clear the fog and find a richer treasure? ”

Zhen Shifeng's proposal is quite tempting, and he knows that the rewards of hidden missions are far beyond the normal main and side quests, but the trigger conditions are extremely harsh and the difficulty is also quite high, which can be described as the benefit of Lucky A. However, luck is one thing, courage and courage are another, just like the gorgeous pearl placed in the giant mussel, reaching out to grab the pearl may end up with a broken arm, but if you don't reach out, you will definitely not have the opportunity to get this priceless pearl, and the result is a lifelong regret.

This is the best embodiment of the adventurous spirit, Tianjian Bingxue naturally has a hard work, and the character of not admitting defeat is destined that she will not easily choose to retreat and escape.

"Of course I'm interested in hidden missions, and it's okay to walk with you, but ............ What can you do to get us out of this world created by virtual consciousness? ”

"Ha, it's easy!" Although Zhen Shifeng replied very simply, the next scene made the ice and snow girl regret the choice just now, and her heart suddenly cooled in half. I saw Zhen Shifeng take out an M57 grenade* bomb out of nowhere, and with a scolding sound, the safety string was immediately pulled down.

"Hey, hey, you're ..............."

"Hehe, I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day of the same month and the same year, Ice and Snow Girl......... See you in another world! ”
