"I can't tell you what the truth is, you have to see for yourself, this is your last and only chance, and once you've decided, you can't go back.

If you swallow the blue pill, the illusion ends, and you wake up in bed as if nothing had happened;

If you swallow the red pill, you will remain in the illusion, and I will take you to see reality;

- Remember, all I can tell you is the truth. ”

When Xiao Lan in front of him said, "Choose, stay in the dream realm...... Or is it back to reality?" At the moment of this sentence, Felicia's mind immediately flashed with this famous quote from Morpheus in the Matrix.

Does she still have a choice?

Snatching away the substantial light, the angel behind him who suddenly disappeared with seven chaotic light wings laughed dumbly.

"I've said it all this way, am I going to stop before the end? No matter what the truth is, whether it makes sense or not, I have to see it for myself to judge ......"

Without hesitation, I chose to absorb.

I knew from the beginning that there was no way back for a long time.

Unknown puzzles are simply poison, if you don't find them, then you will be fine, but once you touch a doubt, then you will be trapped in the middle of it.

Felicia knew something, and though she couldn't explain it, she could feel it;

All her life, she felt that something was wrong with the world;

She couldn't tell why, but it was there, like a thorn in the heart. will drive people crazy;

In the past, she chose to explore because she didn't get results. So he blamed it on his own delusion, or thought it was something that was illusory in his fate;

But now that Xiao Lan, the father who should not exist, appears, the disappeared Yudian comes back from the dead, the essence of the world has quietly unveiled a crack, and a series of things that cannot be ignored and destroy the inherent common sense have happened, she has stepped into an "unknown" labyrinth and can no longer retreat, the only thing she can do is to explore the truth of that essence...... Even if it's brutal.

-- It's like a matrix.

"Am I dead?"

"No, welcome to the real world."

Neo broke away from the unrealistically real Matrix world created by his mother, awoke in a dark, LCL-smelling incubator, unplugged and plunged into the water, and was picked up by Morpheus's ship. The first words that the savior heard were also useful to Felicia in this moment.

It's as if a second has passed, and it's as if 10,000 years have passed.

Childhood ...... intertwined with misfortune Desperate struggle after three years of slumber...... The journey into the main god space and the demon team...... Bet all your faith and your life on the ground...... Under the control of the hand of fate, he has been fighting until now...... The encounter with the lover and the troubled heart...... There is also the construction of the most critical nightmare space, the simulation of fate, reflection and confrontation...... Gambling with the game that exists outside the box...... Not wanting to die challenges the boundaries between life and death. While reducing everything to nothing, a new world is created out of nothing......

It seems to be an instantaneous illusion, and it seems to be a real memory that has accumulated through these long pains and has accumulated repeatedly, superimposed, and spread and infect each other with one's own thoughts.

-- It's like a world away.

It's just that in the blink of an eye, this feeling was left in Felicia's heart.

The section with the man named "Xiao Lan" as the protagonist, although the first half is quite well-watered. But the second half is almost all about climaxes that will make people involuntarily pay full attention. is such a special movie that is equivalent to remembering life, and her worldview, outlook on life, and values have been completely subverted.

The box theory, a concept that was once despised by oneself, once again hit me with great clarity and precision.

Moreover, there are boxes beyond the box.

No wonder, Xiao Lan would say that once she decided, she couldn't regret it.

This level of information can already be called a toxin, a toxin called "truth".

The madness called the real is offended, blasphemed. become untrustworthy.

Just as pure oxygen is harmful to living things, there is no reservation for the truth. It will only break the human spirit. One to five oxygen and nitrogen is the air you can breathe. In the same way, breathing in a small amount of truth diluted by lies allows one to maintain a sound heart.

However, Felicia, as a warrior who fought out of the cruel hell of blood and fire, has always cultivated herself towards the realm where as long as there is a glimmer of life, then she can survive no matter what the situation, and the current situation has indeed caused a subversive new cognitive change, but this is not enough to make her unacceptable and cringe, and become a pitiful existence that can only cry in her father's arms.

But she's not alone.

All the people who have seen, heard, defeated, killed, and been saved from their tragic fate in the past few decades, what is their existence for this world?

With the fear that could not convince her at all, when Felicia, who read the record, opened her eyes, this girl who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and who had been able to remain calm about everything, actually trembled, as if there was a piercing cold overflowing from the depths of the bone marrow and freezing the blood, body and even soul, and for a moment she was isolated and helpless like a girl staring at her father in front of her with eyes like a life-saving straw, and then said in the same trembling voice.

"My friends, this world, the people of this world, all this...... None of them are real? Is it just an illusion in a dream? ”

"What is real?" Xiao Lan had already expected this reaction, and he just asked lightly.

"How do you define truth? If you mean touch, smell, taste, hearing, sight, it's all electronic signals that the brain receives.

Even the mind of the sixth sense, the consciousness of the seventh sense, and the consciousness of the eighth sense are all illusions of the existence of "me": the consciousness of the seventh sense transmits all the information that we perceive with our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind to the eighth consciousness, which records all the causes and effects of good and evil, and will not be lost or extinguished even for thousands of eons, which is called the alayya consciousness of the collective human unconscious in Jungian psychology.

The only thing that cannot be denied is the existence of oneself, which is what Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am", whether it is a real soul or a manufactured AI...... Felicia. ”

Gently calling out her daughter's name, Xiao Lan's voice became ethereal at this moment, "Your words are undoubtedly true, your mother and I personally sent them into this world decades ago, but the others, your friends and your people, whether they are true or not depends on you. ”

"Myself?" Felicia was stunned.

"That's right, think about it, if I hadn't been there, would you have wondered if they were real?"

The girl was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head, "...... No. ”

"In that case, there will be no problem." Xiao Lan spread his hands, and he chuckled, "The truth you know shouldn't change because of your own cognitive changes, as long as you firmly believe in their truth, then they are undoubtedly real, and you don't need to be confused about this kind of thing at all." ”

Felicia smiled bitterly, "I know this, the key problem is another...... This world is like a virtual game like Sword Art Online, you are the developer and GM, I am a gamer who enters from the outside, and they are intelligent NPCs in the game who have an exact soul like Mei Yi, but when we can go back to the real world outside, they can only survive in this world, right? This kind of setting that almost denies my whole life, although I can barely accept it, but isn't it too cruel for them? I don't even know how to feel when I go to see them again. ”

"No, you're thinking too much about yourself...... You, just smile. ”

"Huh?"

The moment these words fell, Felicia suddenly exclaimed.

She suddenly fell into a state of astonishment, not only because of Xiao Lan's words that seemed to be very out of tune, but also because of the strange object with mysterious carvings that appeared in the hands of this cheap father.

"What is this...... Mirror? (To be continued......)
