Chapter 39: The Independent World
As the police car chased the light spots on the map, I sat in the back seat, curiously admiring the exotic buildings along the way through the window.
It's a city that blends the warmth of Las Vegas with the luxury of Dubai, and the occasional plentiful palm tree seems to bring in the flavor of Palm Springs.
All kinds of animals shuttle through the streets and alleys with humanized expressions, and they will also run all the way because of catching the bus, tired and sweaty; will also carry a bag and take selfies while shopping with his girlfriends; I even saw a weasel and a rooster sitting on a woven chair in front of Starbucks with a cup of coffee in their hands, chatting leisurely......
Advertisements for various brands dot the city, and as you pass by a street corner, accompanied by dynamic music full of tropical atmosphere, the national idol Gazella antelope is writhing on the big screen in her iconic shiny red dress......
"Wow......"
Like a bun that has just entered the city, I lay on the glass and carefully experienced this sensory stimulation that is more real than the movie.
Music suddenly played in the car, and Nick turned his head from the co-pilot and said, "Hey...... Looking at you now, I feel like I'm reminded of the first time I met Judy. β
"Haha," Judy, who was driving the car, laughed and raised an eyebrow at me through the rearview mirror, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" You really should experience the panoramic sightseeing carriages of the bullet trains, especially the glacier train to Glacier Town......"
"Come on...... Have you forgotten the last time there was a poor little rabbit that was so cold that its ears were about to fall off? Nick interrupted Judy with a smile.
"Humph! I remember someone with arthritis freezing out of their tails......" Judy was not to be outdone.
β¦β¦
I listened to them arguing with each other, and my heart was once again deeply shocked by the magical means of the Endless Emperor, where is this virtual character, it is clearly a flesh-and-blood existence!
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the film's director's response to the foxes and rabbits rolling out of bed at the press conference: "Everything is possible......"
β¦β¦
"How? Do you like it? β
A voice suddenly sounded in my head, startling me, and I remembered that it was the voice of the Endless Emperor.
"Hmm!! Where are you? I blurted out.
"What?" Nick turned to look at me.
I smiled awkwardly and waved at him to say that it was okay.
"You don't have to say it, I can hear what is in your heart."
The voice of the Endless Emperor sounded in my head again.
"Whoop! Don't you know what Lao Tzu thinks in his heart! β
I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
"Haha, I can hear that part of me before you know how to block cause and effect."
"Cause and effect? , what the hell! How do I turn it off? Please tell me where the control panel is! β
"Little ghost, cause and effect is a manifestation of the Tao, and when you realize the Tao, you will naturally understand, but you are not bad, seeing that you are not long, you have already touched a trace of the Tao, it is estimated that in another ten or hundreds of years, you will also be able to touch the threshold of the Tao."
"Damn, you underestimate me too much...... Tens and hundreds of years ......"
The Emperor of Endless Perfection didn't answer me, was silent for a few seconds, and continued: "Don't talk about this, the reason why I am contacting you through cause and effect now is just to tell you one thing, what you think in your heart is right. β
"What? What's right? I asked curiously.
"Nick and Judy...... And all of these inhabitants of Animal City...... It's all real. β
"Real!? β¦β¦ What do you mean? β¦β¦ You mean, they're all alive!? β
"Yes! They ......, so to speak, All are alive. β
When I heard the words of the Endless Emperor, my heart was filled with shock.
β¦β¦
This Nima is kidding me!
I always thought that all this was just deliberately "acted" by the Emperor of the Endless Ending.
It's like an RPG game.
Nick, Judy, or even the orangutan, the sheep nurses, the antelope doctors, or the NPCs in the ......**********.
So I've been doing this with a "spectator" mentality.
Whether it's an orangutan jumping off a building, or a serial case, I thought about it before, but it's just a plot arrangement.
Dead is dead, as long as the case is solved as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if all these virtual characters are dead, anyway, as long as you re-read the file, you won't be alive.
But if it is according to what the Emperor of the Endless Emperor said, then ...... So here I am, in this weird movie world, everything I encounter has to be faced with a different mentality!
But I thought about it again, the Emperor of the Endless Ending suddenly told me this, could it be that he was deliberately lying to me in order to increase the difficulty of solving the case?
"I don't have to lie to you, this test was actually triggered by the entry of a few of you, and this world existed before you came."
"Hahahaha!" I laughed in my head: "Did you know that this movie has only been released for a few days? Feed! In our world, there is one animal that is most despised. β
"What?"
ββ¦β¦ Pirated Dog !! β
The Endless Emperor was silent for a while, and his next words made me completely creepy.
"Actually...... I'm Phil Johnston, ...... The screenwriter of this film. β
"Ahh You must be kidding me......"
I accept incompetence, one is the great demon king who crossed the plane to invade the world thousands of years ago, and the other is Hollywood...... Screenwriter!
These two,The difference in painting style is too big, hey!
βWhateverγβ
The Emperor of Endless Perfection suddenly said a word in English in a very frivolous tone, and my whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, but I believed what he said for no reason in my heart.
Damn, does this guy still have a clone running around outside!?
And ran to the United States!?
Don't tell me Marvel is also owned by your family!
"Marvel's matter, let's talk about it next time, let's talk about the problems you are going to face first," the Endless Emperor ignited my burning curiosity, and another basin of cold water poured down: "This world, in fact, is also one of the fragments of a world I created before, the aborigines here are all real and alive, but beyond the Tao of this world, they exist independently, so your entry will break the balance of this world, so that some causal collisions will occur and annihilate." β
"Ahem......" I couldn't help but interject, "Please keep it simple......"
"To put it simply, it's ...... If you don't complete the task within the allotted time, not only will the people who are still alive here, but even your friends die completely, or ...... will become a part of this world completely. β
"! You're so powerful, can't you force all of this? β
"Can't!"
"Why?"
"Don't say why I want to do it, even if I want to, I can't do it with my current ability."
"Why can't you do it?"
"Because...... Heaven. β
"......"
