Chapter IX. Is it really all artificial?
I don't know where the weird ballad came from leisurely. Xiao Qicai and I carefully identified it for a long time, but we didn't figure out where the source of the song was, so we simply didn't look for it, and we were silent with each other. Quickly rushed back to the guest house.
When we went back, Feng Tiansong and Shen Xiaoxi hadn't come back yet, but Du Lei and Yu Mubai were already in the house. After asking, Du Lei said coldly, "It's really the same as the kid surnamed Li said, I can't find a way back." ”
Little Colorful asked, "What's going on?" ”
Yu Mubai's face was not very good, "We followed the road that Liu Yong brought us and searched for a long time, but we found that the pattern was completely different, and we couldn't find Liu Yong's house when we walked around." Things are also evil! ”
I thought about it and said. "There's a well on the way here, and an armillary sphere, do you see?"
Yu Mubai nodded, "We have seen the well and the armillary sphere, and we should have continued to walk in that direction, I remember correctly...... We could walk to the end of the village, Liu Yong's house, but we walked along that road several times, and the result was the same, we didn't find Liu Yong, but saw a square. There are a lot of people who sell their goods there......"
Xiao Qicai said, "It's weird...... Why can't you find Liu Yong's house? That's impossible. ”
Yu Mubai looked at Du Lei and said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." ”
What does Du Lei want to say. But after all, it was not spoken.
I asked Yu Mubai, "You said that you didn't find Liu Yong's house, but went to a square, and someone was selling goods, which means that it was a market." Specifically, what are they selling? ”
Yu Mubai recalled, "Specifically, I didn't look closely, it seemed to be some clothes, shoes or something." ”
I said, "No vegetable sellers?" ”
Yu Mubai hesitated and said, "This ...... It seems that there is none! ”
Du Lei said, "It's true. There are only clothes and shoes that are sold, and. The clothes and shoes looked fashionable, not like the villagers could make them themselves. ”
I had a premonition that something was wrong, so I took a deep breath and said, "Do you think it's possible that those clothes and shoes were worn by outsiders?" ”
Du Lei and Yu Mubai's bodies shook at the same time!
The two of them grew their mouths together, and Xiao Qicai also heard the voice in a hurried tone, "Do you mean...... When outsiders come here, they are all killed, so the clothes and shoes are taken out and sold by the villagers? ”
Subsequently, I briefly talked about everything I had just experienced with Xiao Qicai.
Du Lei and Yu Mubai's expressions suddenly became more ugly.
Yu Mubai squatted on the ground, grabbed his hair, and said, "No, I can't stand it anymore, I really want to get out of here!" ”
Du Lei held a kerosene lamp in his hand, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "It's okay, with us, it will definitely be fine!" ”
Yu Mubai regretted and said, "If only I had brought my detonator or something before!" I...... What a mistake! ”
Du Lei sighed, I forced myself to cheer up, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Everything is just speculation, maybe all this is completely different from what we guessed!" Maybe here, a real adventure show is being filmed, everything is artificial, and everything we do is captured by a hidden camera, and then shown to a global audience our true reflection? ”
Du Lei frowned and said, "Who would be willing to spend such a big cost to do such a thing?" ”
Xiao Qicai supported me and said, "This speculation of the big puffer fish is very reasonable, and similar things have happened in the United States." For example, in 1987, there was a rich man named Henry, who did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to simulate a real scene. The people in this scene are not much different from the situation we encountered, and in the end, as soon as the mystery is revealed, we find that everything is artificial, and the purpose is just to know what human beings will do when they break their scientific common sense and cognition, as well as extreme fear! In fact, some foreigners think differently from us, and they usually spend a lot of money on research in order to do research! ”
Du Lei snorted lightly from his nose, maybe it was because he saw Xiao Qicai affirming my words, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. But his voice was soft, just expressing some of his disdain.
Yu Mubai stood up from the ground at this time, with a hopeful expression on his face again, and said, "Is this really the case?" If it's really like what you say, it's really nothing to be afraid of. Everything is just a layout, a layout! ”
We continued to talk for a while, and Xiao Qicai said, "Why hasn't that guy (Feng Tiansong) come back yet, I'll go and see!" Come with me! ”
After saying this, I saw that the expression on Du Lei's face was even more ugly.
Later, as soon as Xiao Qicai and I walked out of the house, Xiao Qicai immediately looked back, and after confirming that Du Lei and Yu Mubai did not follow, they approached my ear and called my name like an orchid, "Big puffer fish ......"
I had a hunch that she had something to say, so I asked, "Is there something else you didn't say just now?" ”
Xiao Qicai sighed and whispered, "I really can't hide anything from you!" ”
I said, "What did you say about what Henry did in 1987, is it true?" ”
Xiao Qicai smiled bitterly, "It's true!" But...... It turned out to be not that simple! ”
I said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Xiao Qicai said, "As I just said, at that time, Henry invested in filming such a show in order to study what human beings can do in the face of extreme panic and ignorance of science. But when the mystery was solved, several of the people who participated in the expedition at that time were really crazy. Later, they took a hoe in the village, cut it when they saw it, and chop it up when they saw it! It is said that many of the staff of the program team and the actors in the village were hacked to death on the spot! Later, the show was banned, and some people said that the show was too immoral and had no scientific value! But 10 years later, the end of the show was edited, re-released in the United States, and adapted into a movie! ”
I don't know why, but after listening to it, I felt cold all over my body.
Because I always feel that in such an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, human nerves are indeed too tight, and once relaxed, it is really possible to go completely crazy!
If I were to evaluate the state of mind at this moment, there would be only two words!
Repression!
It's really depressing!
Suddenly, from the depths of my heart, I felt the urge to slash people with something so hard!
However......
Even what Xiao Qicai said is what really happened in modern history. But does that mean that everything we are experiencing now is also manipulated?
Regarding this problem, Xiao Qicai said, "I just provide a new idea from another angle. If we really can't get out of the village tomorrow, we can follow this direction, search carefully in the village, and see if there is any hidden camera tools and other equipment, if there is, I think, we don't need to be afraid at all, just shout in front of the screen, we have discovered the secret, and the whole thing is all done! How easy! ”
I was infected by Xiao Qicai's optimistic attitude. Clip low and die.
Suddenly it felt like everything was less alarming. I found that when I was with Xiao Qicai, no matter what kind of danger I encountered, life was always full of hope!
Maybe this is another charm of Little Colorful.
Just as we were talking, far away, Shen Xiaoxi and Feng Tiansong also came back from the direction of the east. Later, a few of us entered the house together, and Feng Tiansong told what he had discovered, saying, "There should be more than 500 households in the whole village, which is bigger than we thought, and there are many small roads from the east end of the village to the west end of the village that we have not found before." ”
Shen Xiaoxi added, "Not only that, but we also found that there are vegetable fields and water sources in this village. They are completely self-sufficient and solve the problem of eating and drinking! ”
Speaking of which, I suddenly felt that there was a loophole in Xiao Qicai's assumption just now.
Because if everything is artificial, how to explain the problem of our metabolism slowing down when we eat, drink, and Lazar? If we had to find an answer, it would be that the climate or topography has an effect on the human body, or that there is some mysterious magnetic field that slows down our metabolism. However, I always feel that this is not the case, and I hope I think too much.
Next, we analyzed the assumptions about this village back and forth, and after Xiao Qicai told the "Henry Incident" that she knew, everyone's mood obviously became a lot more relaxed. Even Feng Tiansong joked, "If someone really records the show, the audience will definitely like me the most, brother's popularity, it is definitely not covered!" ”
Xiao Qicai also followed his words, "Otherwise, let the audience vote to see who everyone likes the most, and even post what we have experienced on the Internet, major forums and post bars and the like, let everyone leave a message to see who is the most popular!" ”
Feng Tiansong said cheekily, "Don't think about it, it must be, who called me the protagonist?" ”
……
chatted in the house for a long time, and then we couldn't stay idle, and went to the room opposite the door to talk to Li Zheyu and Xin Meng for a while, and then after we told our hypothesis, the fear of these two people disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Li Zheyu said, "If that's really the case, then my companions must have been sneaking in and hiding by now, maybe they are watching us ugly on the screen at this time, and then laughing!" ”
I said, "It's possible." ”
Xin Meng breathed a sigh of relief beside him, but said with a worried face, "But when will we be able to leave here?" To be honest, the longer I live here, the more I suspect that I am not mentally healthy and that I am going crazy! ”
Li Zheyu hugged her and said with happiness on his face, "Then what does it matter, I think I can even give birth here and then leave, haha, I don't charge money anyway, if I really have a child in the future, I can also take a name called Li Yucun, no, it's better to call Li Yinyu!" ”
We listened and looked at each other.
But I can also feel that the emotions of these two people who have been worried all day are finally relieved.
Maybe tomorrow we will really find the camera equipment, and then we can get out of the current predicament as soon as possible.
With that hope, we finally had our first night in the rainy village.
However......
This is just the beginning of a hellish nightmare......
