Chapter 266: A Game, A Dream
Louie didn't wait for tomorrow and immediately went to the tavern to find Kidd who was drinking in the corner.
Looking at the young and handsome face opposite, Louis really couldn't connect this guy with Cobb's bitter and hateful face.
"Let's have a drink?" Louis directly asked for a whole bottle of whiskey, sat down across from Kidd, and opened the wine in front of Kidd.
"Someone has a treat, and of course I won't say no. Drinking the rest of the wine in the glass in one gulp, he put the empty glass back on the table, and watched Louie refill the whiskey for himself, Kidd wondered what Louie was looking for him: "It's better to say what is going on." ”
"I'm interested in some of what you said earlier. ”
"Oh?" Kidd tilted his head and took a sip from his glass, "What are you talking about?"
After he came to Paradise Town, he bragged in the town every day, saying too many things to remember, and sometimes he drank too much to think of what to say, and the next day it was difficult for him to recall what he had said.
"It's the words of dreams and totems. Louis looked at Kidd in front of him, trying to determine whether what the other party said next was true or a casual nonsense?"
"You mean this kind of top?" Kidd casually pulled out a top from nowhere, and spun it on the table, and the top spun rapidly, "If it stops, then this is reality...... If it doesn't stop and spins all the time...... You should know that there is no such thing in reality. ”
Kidd took another sip of whiskey, and didn't look at the top during the while, but the top kept spinning, and it didn't mean to stop at all: "Oh, by the way, this thing is called a little whirlwind without resistance, and it can turn for a long time with just a little force, and the force I used just now is a little bigger." ”
"......" Louis wanted to scold two swear words: Although I suspect that you are Cobb, you can't become that little cloth, right?
"Also, if I really have any totems, I won't tell you what it is. ”
Louie not only did not get angry when he heard this, but smiled: "If it is known, it is even more difficult to judge whether you are in a dream or not?"
Kidd didn't speak, just tapped Louis twice with his finger in the hand holding the glass, and with a 'you know how to do it' expression, he tilted his head and drank the wine directly from the glass.
"If you know you're in a dream, how do you wake up?" was the answer Louis wanted, and if it was really Cobb the Dream Thief, he would know how to wake up from a dream.
"Under normal circumstances, frightened, dying in a dream, impacting the body, or whatever?"
"Yes, under normal circumstances. Kidd smacked his lips twice, as if to reminisce about the taste of the glass of wine just now: "There will always be something abnormal. ”
Kidd's meaning is obvious, now they are in an abnormal situation.
Louis was silent for a moment, then looked down at the little whirlwind without resistance, and the spinning top was still spinning on the table at a rapid pace, without the slightest intention of stopping.
"Well, you've asked so many questions, and I've answered them all. So in return, can you also answer some of my questions?"
Kidd put down the wine glass, and instead of adding wine to it, he narrowed the distance between him and Louie, and asked Louie's identity in a low voice: "Who are you?"
"What does this mean?"
"I haven't heard of anyone else involved in the job I've taken this time, and I don't think you're one of those 'virtual NPCs', if you're really those NPCs, then I'm in big trouble. Kidd's eyes were sharp and his expression was serious, and it was obvious that he was serious about this issue.
"To be honest, I don't know what situation my partner and I were going through, we woke up with this weird situation...... It's already the third quirky place we've experienced, and the environment and people are becoming more and more real. ”
“......”
Kidd turned his head and scolded Grammar in a low voice, and Louis saw what he should know, staring at Kidd in front of him and waiting for his answer: "What do you know?"
"If I'm not mistaken......" Kidd didn't hide his guess, "A few of you may be players who haven't had time to go offline." ”
"Huh?" Louis was full of thoughts, what the hell is this?Has Inception suddenly become Sword Art Online?
"Can't you even remember that you were playing a game...... Oh, I forgot you've been through a few scene shifts, maybe the memory has been affected. Kidd turned to look at Louie: "You can still realize that this is not reality, it's already amazing." ”
The compliment of "......" really made him unhappy, but Louie was pleased with the results of the conversation, and unexpectedly got some 'real-world' information.
Sure enough, they have entered a strange world, and the method of entering must have something to do with the 'game'.
Louie remembered the invitation he used when he first entered the core, and sure enough, it was a game.
"I'm still more concerned about how to get out, or wake up, or quit, whatever you want to say, you know what I mean. ”
"Yes, I understand, it's actually very simple...... The game server was hacked, which caused a bunch of problems, and I was here to deal with it. Kidd no longer hides his true identity, and according to him, Kidd is the one in charge of cleaning up the virus: "The current situation makes me a little confused, I don't know if the original plan is still working. ”
Louis looked at Kidd and wanted to take him to his lodgings and tell his friends all about the situation.
As for whether his plan will work, let's hear what the plan is going on before we discuss it.
"Are you sure you want to tell the others about it?" Kidd spread his hands, "I mean, not everybody can afford this, what if they find it unacceptable?"
Louis looked at Kidd, who was not moving, and he could see that this man was not telling the truth: "This is not what you really think......" After observing carefully for a while, Louie guessed the truth: "You don't believe us." ”
"Yes, I don't believe you. ”
"Then why are you talking to me so much?"
"You are testing me, and I am testing you, to see if you are an enemy...... If I don't come up with something useful, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the answer I want. Kidd distanced himself from Louis again, then poured himself a glass of wine, and seemed to turn back into the gunslinger who enjoyed life: "If you really want to come back to reality, meet at the tavern tomorrow morning, and if you want to deal with me, you can also come to the tavern to find me." ”
After saying that, Kidd didn't talk to Louie anymore, but just grabbed the wine Louie had just bought and didn't let go.
Louis didn't bother with him about a bottle of wine, and when he got up, he looked at the spinning top again: it was still spinning, and he thought that this thing might not stop at all in this world, could this thing be the prop that Kidd used to distinguish reality from 'dreams' or 'games'?
Leaving the tavern and returning to his quarters, where everyone was waiting for him, Louis recounted all his conversations with Kidd, and everyone's reactions varied.
"Games?"
"Is it a game or a dream?"
"So this Kidd is actually an administrator or a technician? Is it here to clean up the virus?" Cassell thought the most: "He said that the hacking caused a series of problems, which means that we are dealing with a bunch of viruses?
"Isn't Neo a savior?" Wade quickly reacted: "Oh~ For the mother, Neo is indeed a bunch of viruses, so what we did before was actually similar to that of an agent? Should we be given a black suit and sunglasses?"
"No, we were just doing game missions before, and we didn't have much to do with the so-called virus. Cassel continued to sort out the newly obtained information: "It's hard to say next, from Kidd's last words, we know that he is ready to deal with the invading virus, and if we go with him, we will definitely encounter those so-called viruses...... Or some other?"
"Can't you stay here? According to Kidd, he'll fix the problem. When he solves the problem, we can leave, right?" Wade felt that they didn't need to make that effort, just wait quietly for the matter to be resolved: "We can enjoy the real western atmosphere, it's kind of fun here." ”
It's a pity that none of the few people present like to pin their hopes on others, they prefer to solve the problem in person and quickly.
Almost everyone voted against it, and Wade had to shrug his shoulders and change his mind to follow the group.
"Well, it looks like we're going to have a big fight with the savior Neo...... If you get the chance, be sure to leave me with that line: Goodbye, Mr. Anderson!" Wademore shook his hands and was ready to play Agent Smith.
No one was fighting him, and everyone hoped that it would come soon tomorrow morning.
In this anxious mood, almost no one was able to sleep peacefully, but Louie was not included in it, because he didn't sleep at all, and directly replaced it with cultivation.
I don't know if it was through contact with Kidd that he learned the 'truth of the world', but Louie felt as if there was some kind of loosening, and he could vaguely feel the presence of some of the Force.
Although he has not yet regained his strength, this is a good start, and as long as he persists, he should be able to regain his full combat strength in no time.
The first thing Louis saw when he walked out of the room was not Kidd, but Sheriff Ellen, and the other party greeted Louis warmly: "You seem to be in a good mood?"
At this moment, Kidd, who walked out of the tavern, suddenly greeted Ellen and asked Ellen to act with them.
