"Lies, I want to make a deal with you." Levan said seriously, "I helped you get rid of the negative effects of the 'Lies' trait, and you helped me get through this crisis and get the information about the psionics at Kumar Base. ”

The lie tilted his head after hearing this, and was silent for a moment, letting out a low laugh.

"Do you think so, do you want to help me get rid of the negative effects of the 'lie' trait so that I can go back to life as normal in this world?"

"Unfortunately, you've got one thing wrong."

"As the ultimate negative trait, the negative effect of 'lies' is not as terrible as imagined, and it can even be said to be extremely gentle compared to other ultimate negative traits, which is completely acceptable."

"The ultimate negative trait with very low negative effect sounds so good." The liar's laughter suddenly became sharp, like a mocking devil, "but it's just like the name of the trait, it's just a false illusion, and the real negative thing about the 'lie' trait is that it allows you to touch the 'truth'." ”

"After all, a lie is the furthest and closest thing to the truth."

The lie faced Li Fan, and even if there was a mask to cover it, he could feel the staring gaze.

"In Ling's view, we are like parallel universes, according to different choices, branching out of real worlds, we are all independent in different worlds, even if there is no communication between them, can we continue to exist?"

Li Fan frowned without a trace, he didn't actually think carefully about the simulated world, the relationship between his different self, his smile and himself, he just did an experiment through the simulation of the petrified forest to prove that he was a special existence.

However, he still agrees with some of the content of the lie's words, for example, he does not see the lie as his own, but as something else's independent existence.

The lie continues: "If this is really the case, how nice it would be, but unfortunately, the truth is that there are no parallel universes, the simulation is just a simulation, it is a false place created by the villain simulator based on reality, and we who were born in the simulation are also false, and at the moment when the simulation is closed, we follow and disappear." ”

Hearing this, Li Fan realized something: "Could it be ......?"

"You guessed it right." The lie says, "Beings born from simulations do not recognize themselves as false, in their perceptions, everything is real, just like the NPCs in computer games, and if they have perceptions, they must think that they are living beings, not false things constructed by programs and numbers." ”

The lie pointed at himself: "But now, there is an NPC that has chosen a negative trait and touched the truth. ”

"I could clearly feel that everything around me, including myself, was fake...... But the most terrifying thing is not here, just like the game world only exists when the game is running, the simulation world can only exist when the simulation is in progress, and when the simulation is not in progress, the world does not exist, it is 'empty', it is 'nothing'. ”

"Normally, people born from the simulation can't feel it when the simulation is not in progress, just like the NPC in the game when it is paused, even if it is a long time in the past, after pressing the continue button, the thinking before the game NPC is paused and the thinking after the pause is coherent, and he will not have the concept of pause."

"But I'm different, because of the 'lie' nature, even if the simulation doesn't take place, my consciousness is still there."

The lie smiled, but this smile seemed a little scary to Li Fan.

"It's a feeling you can't imagine, no sight, no hearing, no touch, no time, no space, it's nothingness."

"It's like an eternal cage in which I'm trapped."

"Your simulation this time is because in this scene, the simulation world is close to me, I use the ability of 'lies' to get rid of the cage of nothingness, but once the simulation of the Kumar underground experimental base is over this time, I will be imprisoned in the cage again, and after this captivity, I have almost no possibility of getting out of the trap."

Being trapped in a cage of nothingness from which you can never get out of it does sound miserable.

Li Fan thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this just right, these are all caused by the negative effects of the 'lie' trait, as long as you can wash away the lie trait, you can get out of the current predicament." ”

"It's really cruel and ruthless, I told you such a tragic experience, you didn't even comfort me, opening and closing your mouth is the content of the transaction." The lie shook his head and laughed, "What you call getting out of the predicament is that I want to follow the simulation to the end and disappear forever?" ”

The lie jumped off the stage and came to Levan side: "Although one disappears with his eyes open and the other disappears with his eyes closed, on the whole, they all disappear and they all die." ”

He came behind Li Fan with a smile and kneaded his shoulders for him with courtesy: "Don't be so stingy, in this way, the content of our transaction will change slightly." ”

"How about you help me get to the 'reality' where you are, and I help you get through this crisis, and by the way, how about getting the information on psionic research at the Kumar base?"

Li Fan thought for a moment and replied, "Okay." ”

The lie was stunned, stopped rubbing his shoulders, and said in confusion for a while: "Just agreed?" I'm ready to bargain with you. ”

"So be it." Li Fan said lightly, "I helped you come to reality, you helped me get through this crisis and get Kumar's information about psionic drama." ”

"No, no, no, wait." The lie detoured in front of Li Fan, "Don't you think that the latter two conditions are too light compared to the previous one, in fact, I can help you more than that, such as Le Lianxue......."

"Stop!" Li Fan interrupted the lie, "I said, these two items are already fine, and there is no need for more." ”

After a pause, he looked at the lie and said, "After all, this is not the last deal between us, is it?" ”

The lie was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly nodded and laughed: "I see, then, please take care of me." ”

————

"First of all, I want to know, who brought me to the brink of this incident?" Levan asked.

"Are you sure?" The lie scratched his head, "Remember that clip from the movie "The Matrix"? ”

"Neo went to the Prophet and the Prophet told him 'Don't worry about the vase,' and Neo asked 'What vase,' and he turned around and knocked over the vase on the table, which fell to the ground and shattered, and the Prophet said, 'That's the vase.'"

"Sometimes, you think you can avoid it by knowing the outcome in advance, but it is possible that it is the act of knowing the outcome in advance that leads to the ending."

Levan said, "It's okay. ”

“...... Forget it, since you're so insistent," the lie chuckled lightly, "I'll tell you." ”
