Chapter 35: The Only Variable

in the room.

After Su Xing finished telling the ins and outs of the matter, his squinting eyes felt a little incredulous: "According to what you say, I have actually been to the sanatorium once before?" And was it replaced by the 'Mirror Man'? So why am I not impressed at all? ”

The bald uncle explained: "I guess only those who get into that mirror can remember what happened before!" ”

Squinting and said, "There's another question.... Is the world we are in now real, or is it a 'world in the mirror'? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a fantasy as well."

Su Xing said, and opened the curtain with his hand.

He looked at the void outside the window and said, "Not to mention the director and staff of the nursing home, just this outside void can also judge that this is not the real world!" ”

in the room.

The bald uncle frowned and said, "If this is really an illusion, then according to what Su Xing said before, aren't we just encountering the third situation?" ”

For this world, Su Xing had made three guesses before.

The third guess is that everyone is trapped in a fantasy.... And if you want to explore the illusion, you must use external forces to wake yourself up.

Uncle Bald continued, "But the problem now is that since everyone has fallen into a fantasy realm, then no one can wake us up...."

"It seems to be true!"

There was a hint of helplessness in his squinting tone: "And in this illusion, we can't be left alone, otherwise we will be replaced by the 'mirror man' immediately!" ”

As soon as Squint said this, the room immediately fell silent.

Truly.

Just like the bald uncle said, since everyone has fallen into an illusion, no one can wake up Su Xing and the others from the real world.

This can be said to be an unsolvable dead end.

As time passes, everyone will be killed by the 'Mirror Man' in this fantasy world, or they will fall into complete madness.

"Actually, we were wrong from the start."

Suddenly, Su Xing seemed to think of something: "Everyone, have you ever thought about why there are 'mirror people' in this illusion?" If the purpose of the illusion is to collect the power of pain, just like the previous 'Blood Land', then why doesn't this illusion directly torture us? ”

Squinting his eyes, he asked, "So, what other purpose does this illusion have?" ”

"Absolutely."

Su Xingying said: "You think, how will you feel when the people around you are replaced by 'mirror people'?" ”

Huang Tianqi thought for a while and replied, "I should feel scared, lonely, and even hopeless." ”

"Not bad."

Su Xing continued: "Judging from what we encountered in the 'Blood Land' before, this fantasy world should be to collect the emotions of loneliness and despair.... This is the real purpose of the appearance of the 'Mirror Man'. ”

Hearing this, Squinting still said helplessly: "But so what? Even if you know the purpose of the illusion, we still can't escape, right? ”

Su Xingdao: "If nothing happens, we really can't escape.... But among us, there happened to be an 'accident'! ”

As he spoke, Su Xing moved his gaze to the bald uncle: "Fu Zu has always stayed in the ward on the second floor before, and he has always been alone.... According to the rules of the fantasy world, he should have been replaced by the 'Mirror Man' a long time ago, but when I saw him, he didn't have any problems! ”

"It seems to be true!"

Hearing what Su Xing said, the bald uncle immediately reacted.

But he then retorted: "However, Su Xing, when you were surrounded by the 'Mirror Man' on the first floor, weren't you also alone?" Haven't you been replaced? ”

"That's because I've never been alone."

As he spoke, Su Xing took out the chipmone in his arms.

He smiled at Fu Zu: "You are the only one who is really alone in the illusion and will not be replaced by the 'mirror man'!" ”

"As for the reason.... You've all played single-player games, right? ”

Su Xing made a very vivid analogy: "Some games with high configuration requirements, in order to reduce memory, will take the protagonist of the game as the 'center of the world', and then where the player is out of sight, time will stand still, and even the whole world is a void." ”

Speaking of this, Su Xing smiled meaningfully: "Do you think that this setting is very similar to our current world?" ”

Hearing these remarks, he squinted his eyes and suddenly realized: "It's true!" The real world is so big, the 'mirror world' must not be simulated.... So, after we enter the nursing home, the outside world will become nothing! ”

"A little bit is thorough, smart!"

After Su Xing praised it, he continued: "In short, the void outside the sanatorium is generated by the fantasy world in order to 'save memory'.... So my conclusion is that this is an illusion generated by each of us as the 'center of the world'. ”

Listening to the conversation with Su Xing and the two of them with squinting eyes, even the bald uncle who doesn't often play games immediately understood.

He followed Su Xing's train of thought and analyzed: "If you compare Fantasy to a stand-alone game, and we are all characters in the game.... Then after I went crazy in the real world, it was like a game character with messed up data, so I was a variable in this fantasy world! ”

"When you say that, I understand."

Hearing this, the squinting eyes that often play games also spoke: "Brother Xing wants to say that this fantasy world can't be generated with Fu Zu as the center!" ”

"Yes, because Fu Zu is a set of 'abnormal data' for the illusion."

Su Xingdao: "Just imagine, if all of us are replaced, and only Fu Zu is left, what will happen to this illusion?" ”

"Will it collapse?"

"Quite possibly!"

Su Xing said his plan: "So, we just need to wait until everyone else is replaced, and then we will drill into the mirror and reset this world.... Then Fu Zu, who is still here, may wake up due to the collapse of the illusion. ”

"And what if you don't wake up?" Squinting his eyes, he thought of another possibility: "What if the illusion collapses and Fu Zu dies with him?" ”

Su Xingdao: "It's really possible, so this method can't be considered perfect, but do we still have a choice?" ”

"Su Xing is right." Hearing what Su Xing said, the bald uncle also agreed: "This is indeed the only solution at present, if we don't do this, we will all be trapped and die in this illusion.... So, I'm willing to give it a try. ”

The bald uncle has always been righteous.

Although Su Xing's method was risky, for the sake of the overall situation and for everyone to get out of trouble, he had to take this risk.
