Tianyi walked towards the island along the route traveled by Carl and the other four in the morning. They break branches or place stones to make markers, probably because they are afraid of getting lost in the forest. It was not difficult for Tianyi to trace these traces, and after walking for more than an hour, their tracks and marks stopped, presumably the badger was caught near here.

So far, Tianyi hasn't found much, in the dense forest in the center of the island, there are indeed traces left by some animals, but that's all, there is nothing more special on this island, and it is still impossible to deduce the purpose of the people who captured everyone on the island.

Tianyi continued to move forward, and for another half hour, the surrounding forest became more and more dense, and the plants made it difficult for him to walk, and the sweat had soaked his clothes, he took off his suit and held it in his hand, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and unbuttoned two or three buttons under his collar.

After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, there was a flat, open mud field in the forest, in the shape of a perfect circle, at this moment, in the middle of this place was standing a person, wrapped in a black robe, a cloak to cover his face, from his exposed chin for a moment could not tell whether it was a man, a woman, an old, a young, a human, a ghost?

Tianyi guessed that it was a ghost, because he couldn't perceive anything, and there was no "sin" in the person in front of him.

For Tianyi, it's like there's nothing in front of him, and the human beings who can only be determined by sight can be determined, but there are other people besides the mirror face?

Tianyi said almost without thinking: "Where did you get the method of isolating my abilities?"

The black-robed man's voice seemed to have been processed by some kind of voice-changing device, and it sounded like a voice in an urn: "Did you rule out other possibilities so quickly?"

"Oh, do you have a better explanation? like, you're not human?"

The black-robed man said: "For example, you are not a capable person at all. ”

"What am I, do you know better than I do?" asked Tianyi.

The black-robed man said: "Is there such a possibility, you are just an ordinary person, you have been suffering from mental illness all the year round, you think you are a human being with superpowers, and the information you so-called 'perceived' is all fantasy, a hallucination of self-deception by a mentally ill person." ”

Tianyi: "It's interesting, you go on. ”

The black-robed man continued: "Your past, the extraordinary people you know, and your unusual experiences are all just Nanke's dreams, and they are also delusions of mental patients. The reality is that you're just a bookstore owner, and your bookstore is hardly frequented, so you spend every day behind your desk, ****** overdose, and have all kinds of fantasies, and over time, you believe it to be true. In fact, there are no capable people in this world, and you are not one of them. ”

Tianyi smiled and said, "Then why, I came to this desert island and was trapped here with a group of people I didn't know? And why, you, this person who knows so many things, will appear in front of me? If everything is my fantasy, are you the roundworm in my belly?"

The black-robed man replied: "Another possibility, you are an ordinary tourist, trapped on this desert island for too long, because of hunger and lack of water, as well as the torture of loneliness, mental problems, made up all kinds of memories about the past, extraordinary experiences, superhuman abilities. ”

Tianyi: "Your assumption only explains why I am on the island, and does not answer the other two questions. ”

The black-robed man said, "No, I've already explained, since you have a mental problem, why can't I be here? I am the cruel reality that you buried deep in your heart. I'm here to tell you that your so-called abilities are just your own fantasies, your memories are also false, and the things you see and write down are all fake. ”

Tianyi's expression changed suddenly, because when the black-robed man finished saying this, the "sin" of the eleven people on the shore disappeared almost at the same second.

The black-robed man seemed to know that Tianyi's perception was gone, and he continued, "What? Now do you still think that there are other people on this island? Is there really anyone on this island besides you? Are you really a capable person? Your name...... Is it really Tianyi?

Are you just an ordinary person who has gone mad because you are trapped on the island, and you have carved yourself up in your mind as a man who thinks he is the most perfect and only exists in the imagination?"

Tianyi's expression became very complicated, he was thinking, when there are no human beings around him, when he can't feel any "sin", how can I prove that I am a capable person? With paper-level ability, people have better physical fitness than ordinary people? But this kind of judging criterion is also the information in my head, if I am crazy, the information in my brain has no reference value, I think the limit of ordinary people is to run 100 meters in about ten seconds, but the reality may be that everyone can do it, or it may not be possible, how do you know? There is no way to know......

Suppose I have gone crazy, then I can't believe in myself, I have lost the standard, common sense may only be my imagination, without objective reference, it cannot prove that I am different from mortals, subjective dialectic, how can I get absolute conclusions?

The black-robed man said, "Do you understand?"

Tianyi: "If I agree with you, that is, deny your own specialness and admit that you are insane, how can a person who is insane realize this rationally? And the emergence of your so-called 'rational self-consciousness' means that my mental illness has healed itself?"

The black-robed man said unhurriedly: "Then is there a third possibility, you are just an imaginary person, not real, you may be a person in a painting, a character in a movie, a character in a novel, or a fantasy in someone's mind." Your consciousness is imposed by others, your words and deeds are made up by others, and the fact that you will meet me at this moment is also arranged by others. ”

Tianyi replied: "Then my reaction to your words is also under that person's control?"

The black-robed man said: "At this moment, isn't the meaning of my appearance obvious?"

Tianyi: "To deny my existence? and make myself aware of it." ”

The black-robed man said, "I know you won't believe it, at least not at this stage. ”

Tianyi sneered: "In other words, as you progress in this game, I will gradually believe that I am a fiction......al character? Is it suicide? hehe...... I've seen a lot of this happen. ”

The black-robed man did not answer, but turned and walked towards the forest.

How could Tianyi let him leave, he took advantage of the situation, and he was going to capture him, and said with a smile in his mouth: "To prove that you are just my fantasy, wouldn't it be better for you to turn into a gust of wind and leave?"

The figure of the black-robed man flashed behind a tree, Tianyi followed closely, but found that the other party really disappeared as if it had turned into air, he looked up at it, lowered his head and stepped on the mud under his feet, and then looked around, there was no trace of the person at all.

Teleportation?Flash?From this situation, Tianyi can only make these two guesses, unless...... What the black-robed man said was true.

I'm just an ordinary person? There is no one in this world, and there is no one else on this island? Everything is my fantasy?

Tianyi couldn't convince himself now, couldn't refute what he had just heard, and decided to go back to the beach first and see what was going on there.
