116. The Sleeping World

"Secretary Su?"

The voice in her ears brought Susa back to her senses.

She bent down, leaned over to touch her toes, and said as she made a simple stretch, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look." ”

Nance admired her delicate figure.

In the posture of bending over and cocking the hips, the buttocks wrapped in rubber clothes and leather pants are more and more like ripe peaches.

After looking at it for a while, he said expressionlessly, "I didn't plan to take you down." ”

"Humph!"

Susa snorted and moved a few steps away.

He jumped to the side and jumped into the mountain road down the mountain.

"Don't do what you want!"

Nance scolded helplessly and followed her down.

"Goo~"

Dora-Goo rarely agrees with him.

As the altitude decreases, the humidity in the air starts to rise and the temperature rises.

Along the way, you can smell a faint fragrance on the tip of your nose, as if it is the scent of an apple orchard in autumn. Small animals or birds occasionally pop out of the woods, which are very rare, breaking the silence and quickly hiding back.

Looking down from above, the true appearance of the valley floor is obscured because of the disorderly growth of trees.

When he actually reached the bottom of the valley, Nance realized that this was an abandoned town.

A river rushes through the rocks, forming a pool of water to rest quietly.

Looking to the west, you can see an old iron bridge, which is the only entrance to the town. The bridge was small and narrow, barely big enough for a truck to pass through, and the rusty iron frame was heavily immersed in the cold silence.

Miss Su rushed out of the iron bridge without looking back.

She was now dressed in a black bodysuit, her long gray hair tied up at the back of her head, and she looked like a female agent.

On either side of the iron bridge was a guard-like crow, and when it saw someone coming, it let out a stiff, high-pitched cry. As if condemning, as if warning, the cry echoed coldly through the forest, and then crossed the river and burrowed into the ears of men.

Susa stopped and slowly looked around: "It's such a quiet and weird place. ”

The breath she exhaled as she spoke floated in the air, hard and white.

"You know something is wrong, and you still don't look back?" Nance stepped forward and asked.

Susa glanced at him sideways and said in a complaining tone: "I said that I would take me to make a fortune, but I didn't hit a single strange beast for half a day." I finally came across this place where there may be buried treasures, and you want me to go back? ”

"There is no treasure in this terrible valley......"

"Do you want to keep it to yourself?"

"Some are just creatures that have turned to dust."

Susa looked at him thoughtfully, "You want to say that this is the Valley of Joshaphat?" ”

(Both the Divine Comedy and the Bible: Old Testament record that the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment took place in the valley of Jehoshaphat.) )

"Please, will you study geography?" Nance glanced at the big-chested and unreliable secretary, "Jehoshaphat Valley is in Jerusalem, and we are here in East Asia, thousands of kilometers away." ”

"Not much worse."

Susa grinned and drew her sword.

After holding the knife in her hand, she felt a lot more secure, and she directly raised her feet and walked onto the iron bridge.

The two crows disappeared.

The shadow attached to Nance's body whispered, "Sooner or later, this woman will play herself to death." ”

Walking across the iron bridge, it is the only entrance to the town.

A tall clock tower stands majestically, and the hands stay in the same place forever, 10:35.

The streets are paved with cobblestones, and the stone buildings on both sides are in ruins, and the barely maintained and still framed houses are covered with dry vines.

Each building has no distinguishing features, let alone decorations and signboards.

The wind that hung down from the top of the hill blew silently through the silent streets, immersing the miscellaneous trees and the walls of the houses on the roadside in a slight whimper. It seemed to be the sound of crying, enveloping all the streets and alleys, like a time fault invisible to the naked eye in the atmosphere.

Susa walked and walked, and suddenly bent down.

She picked up a shoe, the tip visibly cocked, like a clown's dancing shoes.

"Can you tell what era it is?" Nance stepped forward and asked.

"I don't know at all." Susa's gaze swept over the vamp of her shoes, and then her gaze scanned in all directions, "The architecture here is a mix of East and West, and it looks similar to some suburban towns." But there's one thing that's peculiar, do you see the dragon badge on those windows? ”

Nance followed her direction.

In several large houses, the windows are painted with large gray-and-white lizards with their wings outstretched.

Many yards still have air-dried lizard skeletons.

"The dragons of this era are extinct, and it is impossible to get the skeleton of the dragon." Miss Su said firmly, "So, this town definitely existed before the new era. ”

"In that case, it should be a stronghold established by the Chaos Calendar." Nance added.

"How can you be sure?"

"Before the Chaos Calendar, there would not have been such a mix of non-attraction human settlements in this location."

Susa looked at him suspiciously, didn't say anything, just beckoned Doragu to go and put on the skeleton.

She didn't know exactly what they were worth, but there was no doubt that there would be rich people who liked to collect strange things.

Nance waited patiently for her to finish loading her things before continuing towards the center of town.

Naturally, there was not a single living person along the road, but there were many strange beasts.

a ruminating bison with two swarthy horned feet thicker than a telephone pole on its head and spikes like hedgehogs on its back;

a sika deer with two heads, lazily lying on its stomach;

They silently enjoy the quiet time, and when they are sleepy, they bend their legs and squat on the ground, sinking into a short sleep.

There are also some mutated leopards and wild dogs, just wandering leisurely on the road.

When they see food, they don't show a fierce face, as if they are herbivores.

"They all look so happy." Susa said happily. qs

Nance didn't care, and said directly: "It's just that I'm confused by the illusion." ”

"But that doesn't mean they're unhappy." Miss Su's expression was rare and serious, and her eyes looked at him without blinking, "Just like you now, how can you prove that you are not in a fantasy world?" As long as the current mind is happy, it doesn't matter if the brain is in a vat or in the skull. Isn't it? ”

The classic red and blue pill multiple-choice questions.

What a philosophical question, Nance couldn't answer.

He couldn't even tell if his brain was in a vat or in his skull.

Neuroinformation technology is already a very mature technology in this era, and it is widely used in everyone's daily life.

All emotions and observations that humans experience are ultimately converted into neural signals in the brain, releasing corresponding stimuli. If the brain in the jar simulates the exact same signal received by the real brain, from the brain's point of view, it will be completely unable to distinguish whether it is a brain in the brain or a brain in a tank.

A very simple question: how can you be sure that you are not living in a computer program?

If one day Nance is woken up and he says that what you're going through is just a simulation, he wouldn't be surprised. In a way, the current him

It has the ability to concoct a program that is indistinguishable from reality, so that a person will be immersed in the world of data forever.

Looking at his frowning and contemplative expression, Miss Shadow was thoughtful.

Could it be that the uncle's secret has something to do with his uncertainty about his own existence?

Compared with the delicate mind of the shadow, Susa patted him on the shoulder with a hippie smile and said with a big grin: "So, it is the cart before the horse to pursue the true and false excessively, and we should enjoy it in time." What does it matter if it's true or not? Happiness is right, long live happiness! ”

"I have a question." Nance looked at her with a faint look in her eyes, "Did we enter the illusion as soon as we stepped across the iron bridge?" ”

Miss Su thought thoughtfully: "It's not impossible. ”

"Do you want to verify it?"

"How do you verify it?"

"You turn around."

"And then?"

"Smack!"

Slap on her buttocks.

“?”

The shadow was stunned. How can you do such a thing in front of me!

"Familiar feel!" Nance felt the wonderful taste and replied solemnly, "It seems that we haven't ...... yet"

Before he finished speaking, Secretary Su punched him in the lower abdomen.

"Hiss......"

Nance grinned, his face distorted in pain, and he inhaled a cool breath and said, "This pain is too real. I can now be sure that we are already in a fantasy world. ”

"You say yes, yes? But I think you're just continuing to find reasons to take advantage of me. Miss Su's face was slightly red, she took a few steps back, and sneered: "Sister almost really believed you." Dead perverted! ”

"Goo~"

Dora-Goo has a very anthropomorphic look of contempt.

"I mean really!"

Nance looked very serious.

He had a sense of pain *** passive, but the punch Susa had just made was too painful.

It can be seen that there is a fantasy program that can simulate a very realistic feeling here.

This type of program can directly invade the human brain with the help of psychics, dreams, subconscious influences, etc., and is almost undetectable. Those who fall into it will never be able to get out unless they can see through the truth and falsehood.

Strong is very strong, but it didn't expect Nance to be painful *** passive.

Susa looked at him as if he was lying, and her face suddenly changed.

"If it's true, then, then ......"

Doraa pulled open the pocket of his lower abdomen. The skeleton inside is gone.

"Goo!"

Miss Owl made a sympathetic face.

"Honey, can you help me......" Susa immediately pounced, holding Nance's arm with both hands.

On the fox's face, the watery peach blossom eyes blinked, and I felt pity.

Phew, vixen...... The shadow scolded silently in his heart.

It's really infuriating!

Uncle!

Hurry up and get rid of her!

Nance, who couldn't hear the voice of the shadow, just glanced away, not quite wanting to look at Susa's charming peach blossom eyes.

It would be nice if it was Marlene, he thought to himself, Miss Su could only watch but not eat, and she was bored......

"Let's go and break the illusion." Susa whispered in Nance's ear.

Nance had a cold attitude and ignored the answer: "Hmm." ”

"Brother Emperor is awesome!" Susa pouted and leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"It's all saliva, it's dirty."

Nance shook her off in disgust and walked towards the church in the middle.

This woman is greedy for money and wine, this woman is lazy to eat, this woman has no heart and lungs, and this woman is arrogant...... Faced with such a lump of meat that could count a basket of shortcomings, Nance thought to herself that she had to be lukewarm to her, otherwise her ass would definitely rise to the sky.

Phew, just pretend, stinky man...... Susa spat at his back, then lifted her foot and followed him with a stagger.

In the square where the church meets, there is a group of unicorns.

They are as white as snow, except for the four hooves and the middle of the forehead, which are black. The horns are conical in shape, so thin that they feel delicate and fragile compared to their bodies.

Susa looked at them with the same eyes as a big bad wolf looking at a little sheep.

Unicorns are also extinct species, and in the teachings of the Holy See, unicorns represent nobility, pride, and purity. In practical sense, the unicorn's feet have a detoxification function and are a very precious potion raw material.

If this is true, she can make a windfall even if she only catches one head out.

Nance is also watching these unicorns.

They are quiet creatures, so quiet that they are almost meditative when they walk around, and even breathe as peacefully as the morning mist. They sometimes shake their necks up and down a few times, towards the snow-capped mountains, and sometimes stretch their necks to devour the red fruits of the trees.

"Little cuties, let my sister touch ......" Miss Su's pretty face was a little dazed, and she walked towards the unicorn in a delirium.

Nance dragged her back.

In the deep environment, it is difficult for people's thinking to concentrate, and it is easy to arouse the most primitive emotional impulses in the heart.

"Woo, Nance!" Susa's watery eyes stared at him, "I like them so much, you need to help me." ”

"Good, good!" Nance nodded perfunctorily.

"Ahh

The peach blossom eyes of the secretary of the Su University bloomed with pink light.

"Huh?"

Nance sensed something was wrong with her eyes.

The unicorn thing shouldn't have the meaning of love...... As soon as the thought came to him, he was forcibly kissed.

Yes.

Strong kiss!

Miss Su was very violent, and she flew directly over and pushed him against the wall inside.

Immediately afterwards, her own body also leaned over, and her soft and moist lips leaned forward, directly knocking him into the wall.

“?”

The shadow was stunned.

In the past, the two of them were joking, so she naturally watched the appearance and didn't care too much...... But now, how is it different from what was said! You two are playing and playing, playing with fire?

Nance, who was pressed against the wall, didn't dare to move.

Lip to lip, through the leather coat and 36D, you can feel the abnormal fawn of Secretary Su.

After sticking it a little, Susa moved her lips away, her pretty face was flushed, and she looked at him with silky eyes: "Sister's fragrant kiss reward is not happy?" ”

Nance smacked her lips with a long aftertaste and muttered, "Not enough." ”

"What?" Miss Su's expression was a little dazed.

Then, before she could react, Nance took the initiative.

Nance is an honest man.

Anyway, the secretary of Su University is as beautiful as a flower, and he doesn't lose money!

"Ahh

Susa screamed.

Miss Shadow was uncomfortable, and wanted to give the two of them a slap in the face. Miss Owl, there is a trace of doubt in her wide eyes, a hint of studiousness, and the rest of the eight threads are thinking about how to sue the queen.

Susa's brain was a mess, her voice was hoarse, and she pushed Nance half-pleading and half-forced: "Brother Emperor......"

Nance patted herself on the cheek and regained some of her senses.

It's so dangerous, I almost went off......

He regained his sage expression, let go of Susa, and walked towards the monastery.

Miss Su was stunned for a moment before she suddenly reacted, and her face turned red: "Bastard, who allows such a kiss on my sister!" ”

Nance didn't look back.

She couldn't get angry, so she immediately chased after him and punched and kicked him.
