Welcome to the Nightmare Live Chapter 184

Chapter 180

After listening to Wen Jianyan's narration, the entire catacomb fell into dead silence.

"wait wait wait…?"

Huang Mao and the others were sluggish, tongue-tied, stunned by the amount of information in the other party's words, their minds were in a mess, and they almost lost their language ability.

"So, you mean to say..."

Su Cheng pressed his temples, organized his words, and tried to keep up with the other party's train of thought, "These seven high-risk patients were all created? The purpose of the entire 'Ouroboros' project is to create the world or God-making...??"

"right."

Wen Jianyan nodded.

"How do you make it?" Shao "Yao" frowned, "Does raising Gu make them kill each other?"

"Unfortunately, this possibility is not."

Wen Jianyan sighed.

According to his previous experience dealing with these seven patients, although the relationship between them is considered harmonious and friendly, there is no tendency to fight to the death. Even due to the setting of the spiritual world in the copy, to some extent, In fact, it also avoids conflicts between high-risk groups.

"Then what's going on?" Shao Yao asked in confusion.

"There is so little evidence right now that even speculation is pointless."

Wen Jianyan shrugged and looked away.

Wei Hewen Jianyan is the teammate who has played the most copies, Su Chengzhi, which shows that he already has the answer to this question in his mind, but he has not found conclusive evidence for the time being.

What this guy is best at is to use words to make everyone play around, and he is also good at keeping silent. If he really has no intention of sharing his guesses, then no one can dig the information out of his mouth.

"Okay," seeing that Wen Jianyan had no intention of talking, Su Cheng sighed and said, "Then what shall we do next?"

Huang Mao suggested: "The inner world is over, shall we go to the upper world?"

Shao "Yao" glanced at Heimong Tong, who was still behind him, and said, "The living corpses over there should have calmed down. If we are more careful, we should be able to go up safely."

Wen Jianyan didn't answer. He lowered his eyes and murmured. The eyes of the others fell on him. After a long time, he slowly:

"Have you noticed that the prompt this time is very vague, it doesn't tell us how to complete the ultimate main mission."

According to the mechanism in the Nightmare Live Room, after all the tools are collected, the dungeon will remind you of the ultimate main mission.

The last time Wen Jianyan triggered this mechanism was in the dungeon of Decai Middle School. At that time, the prompt was "return things to their original places, the beginning is the end", which is very simple to understand, that is, put the objects back to their original positions Everything will be over.

But this time the reminder is very specific.

Hearing this, the rest of the people sank slightly, and they also realized this.

really.

[Seven clocks, connected end to end, a brain in a vat, a world of its own]

This passage does not provide any clues related to "completing the task".

"However, no reminder is also a reminder."

Wen Jianyan changed the topic.

"That is to say, the content of the ultimate main mission is closely related to the secret of this dungeon. If you want to complete the mission, you must figure out the core mechanism of the dungeon."

"You mean, go up first?" Su Cheng asked.

Wen Jianyan nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

He lowered his eyes, looked at the open empty sarcophagus in front of him, and his eyes fell on the crooked notch, and said, "There is a mystery here that has not been solved."

Why is Reese's word printed on the coffin?

According to this logic... Will there be corresponding coffins for other high-risk patients?

He looked at the rest of the people and ordered succinctly:

"Look for other coffins."

Next, Wen Jianyan repeated the words of several other high-risk patients as quickly as possible, asked them to write them down, and said, "If you find a coffin with these words printed on it, call me."

"good."

Several people looked at each other, nodded, and dispersed.

Wen Jianyan looked at Shaoyao and said gently:

"Dang, I have no right to ask you what to do next, you can act freely."

After all, Shaoyao didn't activate the ultimate mainline mission, didn't trigger the mechanism of death if the mission failed, and wasn't bound to this team, so, for her, the most important thing to do next was to accumulate points Leave the copy and instead risk completing the hidden line.

Peony also understands this principle.

Although she is very kind to the team in front of her, it does not mean that she will choose such a risky and extreme customs clearance behavior.

She nodded: "Thank you, take care."

After finishing speaking, Shao Yao turned around and walked towards her teammate, ready to try to wake him up from the coma.

After awakening, the two teams can go their separate ways.

Wen Jianyan looked away.

At this moment, Huangmao called from the side: "Here! I found it!"

"Me too!" Su Cheng's voice came from another direction.

So fast?

"coming."

Wen Jianyan was startled, answered, and rushed over as quickly as possible.

It's because these two people are very talented in finding things, but these few words are really hard to find.

There is not a single corpse in the entire catacomb, and all the sarcophagi are empty. After the lid is opened, the words are basically engraved on the back of the lid in a crooked manner, which is very recognizable.

After learning the rules, it was difficult to find them, so they quickly found the positions of all the coffins with words engraved on them.

"There are this, this, these two coffins together."

Huang Mao pointed to the coffins near him, then raised his chin in the direction of Su Cheng in the distance, and said, "The remaining two are at Su Cheng's side."

The location of these coffins...

Wen Jianyan was taken aback, almost dazed for a moment.

"Stand here and don't move, wait for me."

He said in a hurry, then turned around, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the catacomb.

Although Su Cheng and Huang Mao understood why, they followed Wen Jianyan's instructions and stood still.

As Wen Jianyan walked, he counted his steps. Finally, he stood still at the entrance and looked into the underground tomb.

In my mind, the two maps slowly overlapped.

Exactly one.

The entire catacomb, and the laboratory hidden on the seventh floor of the Ping An Sanatorium, are exactly the same size.

And the positions of these sarcophagi can exactly correspond to the five compartments in the laboratory.

It can be said that it is almost the same.

At that moment, Wen Jianyan felt a chill run up his spine. It was hard for him to say where this feeling came from, maybe it was fear, or maybe it was excitement.

"End to end."

he murmured.

The laboratory on the seventh floor is the "first". In the laboratory, seven monsters were created, which is the starting point of everything.

The catacomb hidden in the depths of the church is the "tail", the corpse, the coffin and death, the end of everything.

…like a snake biting its own tail, a complete circle with no beginning and no end.

Su Cheng's doubtful voice came from a distance:

"Hey! Are you ready? Can we move?"

His voice awakened Wen Jianyan from his own thoughts, he nodded and said absentmindedly: "... yes."

Huang Mao and Su Cheng looked at each other, and walked towards Wen Jianyan.

"What are you thinking?"

Su Cheng asked.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath:

"The structure of this copy."

Both Su Cheng and Huang Mao were taken aback, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Anyway," Wen Jianyan changed the subject, "Do you know the idea of ​​a brain in a vat?"

"Well…"

Huang Mao blinked and said hesitantly, "Is it a brain soaked in a tank?"

The other two: "..."

Are you a nonsense writer?

"I remember it seems to be a kind of hypothesis?" Su Cheng shook helplessly, then took the words:

"That is to say, the five essences of human beings are all nerves that transmit the nerve signals of the brain. If the human brain is taken out and put into an independent container, and then a computer is used to artificially create nerve signals, human beings will have no way to realize that they are actually in the virtual world."

"Ah!" Huang Mao reacted, "Like the matrix one in The Matrix?"

"right."

Wen Jianyan nodded, "Do you remember what I said before, the real model of high-risk patient No. 05?"

Although it chose the face of "Witch Candle" as its own image, it is still a brain soaked in nutrient fluid in essence, whether it is a human-like body or a human body in the laboratory. The completely inhuman fleshy tentacles and red membranes are all made up of neurons.

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Wait, what you mean should be..."

"That's right." Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and continued, "This is the conjecture I just said."

"??" Huang Mao watched the two of them play charades, so he was a little anxious, "Wait, what are you guys talking about?"

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"Laughing to death, keep up with me!"

"I had a showdown, and I didn't keep up."

"Me too! So what exactly is the anchor's guess!"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha grass, everyone laughs at yellow hair, everyone is yellow hair ("

Wen Jianyan opened his arms: "It means that the entire Ping An Nursing Home is the spiritual world of No. 05."

[Integrity First] Live Room:

"?????ah?"

Huang Mao was also dumbfounded: "Wait, what???"

"In the copy of Ping An, every high-risk patient has a spiritual world, right?" Wen Jianyan asked, "Why doesn't number 05 have one?"

Huang Mao was taken aback.

Indeed... If No. 05 is the meat membrane, then they have been in contact with No. 05 only once, but they have never entered the spiritual world of No. 05.

He trembled as if struck by lightning, and murmured:

"Because...we've been in it from the start."

"So the reminder tells us that a brain in a vat has its own world."

Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes.

If the Matrix is ​​used as a metaphor, No. 05 itself was bred for the mother. It has no body, only a brain, which is a standard medium and tool.

All the rest, whether they are patients or anchors, are individuals who have been inserted into the mother's body.

They are active in No. 05's brain and consciousness, but they don't know that they are in a huge virtual space.

"The anchor will be connected to the spiritual world of nearby patients after the bell rings, and after the next bell disappears, we will return to the original location, just like it was just a dream..."

"We hear the bell twice, right? Once it starts and once it ends."

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes and said slowly, "Although we have experienced the world in six rounds, we actually listened to the clock twelve times."

Su Cheng was startled and reacted instantly, "But the reminder said seven minutes!"

"Yes," Wen Jianyan nodded, "So I guess, the bell at the beginning and the end are actually the same time, we seem to be connected to the mother's body, and when the bell rings, we are connected to the nearby patients. spiritual world."

So... although they listened to the bell twelve times, in fact it was only six times, because the period of time they entered the spiritual world existed for people in the real world.

"If I had to guess, the clock is probably some kind of laboratory measure used to suppress the entire "Ping An Nursing Home" world." Wen Jianyan said, "When the bell rings, No. 05 is weakened, so the anchors will be connected to other patients. In the spiritual world."

So, when we were in the confession room, the bell rang to signify the arrival of the other world, but No. 05 lost the ability to maintain his body and was forced to let Wen Jianyan go.

Therefore, the power balance between it and several other patients is one that ebbs and flows.

Before the bell rings, it is the Ping An Sanatorium itself, designed to restrain the other patients in it—whether the building or the nurses are a part of it.

And when the bell rang, it was the weakest in the entire dungeon. The strength of the patients surpassed that of the "sanatorium" and they began to build their own spiritual world.

No. 05 is both a prison and a petri dish.

It is the womb, the mother's body.

"So, there are nothing more than two options before us," Wen Jianyan solemnly raised a finger: "Destroy the prison."

He raised his second finger: "Or help the prison catch the prisoner back."

This may be why the "tips" did not tell them how to complete the ultimate main mission.

Because there is only one way to complete the task.

only…

Wen Jianyan seemed to be thinking of something, he fell silent, his face gradually became stiff.

To destroy the prison, you only need to face 05. Although the difficulty seems to be lower, it also means that several other bad species will lose their imprisonment and act recklessly.

The faces of people in 01, 02, 03, and 04 and what they did...

Wen Jianyan's face turned green.

But if you choose another path, joining forces with 05 only means facing several other people at the same time, and—

05 with a "Witch Candle" face and writing on his hand flashed in his mind.

An "eat", a "marry"... Obviously this guy is also a good thing.

Wen Jianyan's face turned greener.

I always feel that for him, these two roads... are **** pitiful! !

"What's the matter?" Su Cheng noticed Wen Jianyan's unpredictable expression, and asked suspiciously, "Have you decided what to choose?"

Wen Jianyan: "."

Tell the truth?

Think of both.
