Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 855 Cause and effect?

As Saronmeier sailed into the fog, the Orcs standing on the pier were gradually buried by the fog.

At the moment when they completely disappeared from sight, Chen Yan was in a trance. At this moment, he couldn't tell whether his previous experience existed. The artificially retarded orcs made the world look fake, but all signs It also shows that this world really exists.

Chen Yan looked at the bow of the ship.

He didn't know where Osmandis was now, whether in front of him or on a seat farther away.

They couldn't see each other, so they couldn't communicate. Thedanios in his arms was meek and silent. There was no sound when the ship sailed in the sea of ​​fog, and everything around was so silent.

Chen Yan thought to himself, maybe it would be a good choice to sail into the wilderness like this, because once you can go to the wilderness, you can go back to the future through the wilderness.

He looked down at Tydanios.

The little guy didn't say a word, and looked around with golden pupils that had turned golden yellow due to waking up, all eyes were full of curiosity.

'It's just that in this way, it is impossible to know what the reason for the mutation in Tydanios is. '

He stroked the little guy's head, just like he stroked Goudan's head three months ago when he was about to land in Yanan City.

Goudan was enjoying it then, and so is the little one now, making a faint, faint whirring sound like a breeze.

"Such a cute little thing...how did it become that terrifying big monster..."

Thinking of this, the desire to save became stronger and stronger.

Chen Yan thought about it in his heart, and an inexplicable idea emerged:

Maybe he is now on the way to know the answer, maybe everything he is going through now, and everything he is about to go through, is the reason for the mutation in Tedanios.

Salonmeier sailed in the endless fog, and as the fog deepened, the "unreality" became stronger and stronger in his heart. Chen Yan unconsciously recalled his own experience along the way. After careful consideration, he still had Many questions remain unanswered——

The first point, and the most unexplainable point, is the village of orcs with artificial mental retardation.

The orcs in the village are like NPCs that operate according to a simple logic gate program. They are mechanical and rigid. Once it involves a plot that does not belong to them, they will experience serious lag.

Although the orc ears will also make changes because of plots that do not belong to them, such changes are rigid, more like bugs, rather than progress in the plot.

According to the information obtained later in Cyber ​​Zion, if the people in Cyber ​​Zion are defined as the "old age" destroyed by the Supreme God, then the orc-ear people must belong to the "new generation", and the "new generation" The orc-eared people obviously retained some of the characteristics (beast traits) of the "old generation" demihumans, but they were not better individuals-the orc-eared people were completely like mentally retarded people whose brains were not fully developed!

The existence of the orcs is very contradictory, because judging from what happened in Cyber ​​Zion later-after the civilization represented by Cyber ​​Zion developed for a long time (at least hundreds of years), they appeared The third uncle who committed suicide after leaving the image, Klein who died in the server of the holy mountain due to factional struggle appeared, and Chen Yan who died of natural illness appeared.

For the generation of Cyber ​​Zion, it was the end of the generation that these people Chen Yan was familiar with appeared.

But for the generation of orc-ear people, it was the beginning of a generation, and these people Chen Yan was familiar with had already appeared.

Regarding this phenomenon, Chen Yan thought of two possibilities - one is that the orc ear people may only have this generation, and the apocalypse of the Supreme God will soon come to the village; the other is [people in this world are fixed. , will soon be reborn as the same person after death].

The first guess is still possible, but the second guess is too nonsense.

If the second guess is true, why would the Supreme God destroy a generation for the death of Chen Yan?If the people in this world are fixed, they must be reborn soon after death, which is almost equivalent to immortality. Since they are immortal, there is no need for Chen Yan's "death" to annihilate the world.

Chen Yan was a little confused.

He calmed himself down a bit.

The real reason for the death of the Supreme God, he has not yet drawn a reliable conclusion from Cyber ​​Zion and the Holy Mountain. Judging from the information obtained from Cyber ​​Zion, [Chen Yan’s illness and death in Cyber ​​Zion] is just The superficial reason, but the root cause is unknown. Maybe it was the people in Cyberthian who discovered the technology of the gods and caused blasphemy, which aroused the anger of the gods. Maybe it was something else, but Chen Yan couldn't continue to explore. Questions can never be answered.

Chen Yan had a headache. He knew too little information, so little that he couldn't guess even a little bit of the truth.

In short, Chen Yan is still unable to determine the significance of the existence of the artificial mentally handicapped orc village.

The village of artificially retarded orcs made Chen Yan doubt the authenticity of this world. The orcs who clearly have flesh and blood have a brain that is as simple as a low-level artificial intelligence AI. How did they appear? of?How did it develop into what it is now?
Perhaps only God knows the answers to these questions.

……

Chen Yan thought wildly for a while, but there was still a thick fog in front of him. Fortunately, the concentration of the fog was not so high, and Chen Yan could still see the whole picture of Salomel.

He thought to himself: 'It would be really scary if I couldn't even see the whole picture of Salomel. '

He thought to himself, now, the "non-existent" Osmandis is sitting not far in front of him, or maybe sitting opposite him, and what will Osmandis think about at this time?

Judging from the future situation, Osmandis has indeed found a way to survive in future generations, but he was already alone at that time, so what is the point of such a long life...

Chen Yan couldn't have a synesthesia with Osmandis, so he never had the slightest empathy for Osmandis' experience.

The fog was endless, and the surroundings were silent. Chen Yan looked down at Tedanios, who was lying on his chest and licking his chin, and gradually calmed down.

'The second point of doubt is also another point of doubting the authenticity of this world-in the small camp on the way from the village to Cyber ​​Zion, I [affected reality with will] and created a bomb that did not exist. '

"Judging from the fact that the fox-eared seedlings moved out the bomb from the back of the camp one by one, the bomb is indeed a reality that I influenced with my will, rather than existing in the camp from the beginning. '

This situation conflicted with what Chen Yan later learned in Cyber ​​Zion and the Holy Mountain.

According to the information Chen Yan obtained from Cyber ​​Zion and the Holy Mountain, this world does indeed exist. People in Cyber ​​Zion have even experienced many generations of reproduction, and even developed by prying into the mysteries of the gods. After the advent of computer technology, it took many years before I could no longer adapt to living in this world because of [Apocalypse].

Now that Chen Yan thinks about it, [Apocalypse] is actually not this heavy snow with radiation, nor is it some [Great Ice Age], but [Target of the Supreme God].

Chen Yan thought about it again, maybe it was both—the collapse of the Cyber ​​Zian civilization and the succession of generations, not only because of the arrival of the [Great Ice Age], but also because of the [Target of the Supreme God].

If this conjecture is true—if the end of the [Great Ice Age] is coming soon, then the conjecture about the previous question is also established from the side—the generation of orcs may only be this generation, because the [Great Ice Age] 】It will come soon, and the apocalypse of the Supreme God will soon come to the village.

Ok……

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be connected back and forth?Things make sense?

Chen Yan knew that everything was just his own guesswork. Things that the saints on the holy mountain had exhausted themselves and hadn't researched clearly would definitely not be cleared by him in a few thoughts.

' So, back to the question itself - does this world really exist? '

Chen Yan already had a vague answer in his mind:
'If the world was really created by the Supreme God, and it is also the one that the Supreme God wants to destroy, then the orc-eared people were created by the Supreme God, and the orc-eared people can be [pinched] into any shape by the Supreme God—including those with artificial mental retardation look. '

'Judging from the information obtained from the Holy Mountain, the Supreme God obviously also possesses computer technology. So, wouldn't it be easy for Him to fabricate an artificial mentally handicapped village? '

'Then, if...if this world is both created by the Supreme God and real, it will be bad...'

Chen Yan's face was ugly.

The past was created by the Supreme God, so the future must also be created by the Supreme God.

The key point is that [Chen Yan] already existed in this "ancient age" that is very far away from modern times. If [Chen Yan] is the creation of the Supreme God, what is he, a time traveler?
'The traverser Chen Yan transmigrated into the body of Chen Yan of the modern Tianshen State in this world... Damn, isn't this what happened when I came to this world! '

Chen Yan was startled, and suddenly realized that what happened in the past coincided with what happened in the present.

'The Supreme Being really exists...the Founder really exists. '

Thinking of this and thinking of the modern situation, he was shocked again.

'Whether it is the generation of the orcs or the generation of Cyber ​​Zion, when the group of [Chen Yan], [Klein] and [Liang Ansheng] appeared, the end came. '

'In the future, this group of people has already appeared! '

'Could it be... the future is about to usher in the end? ! '

But Chen Yan couldn't see any signs of doomsday in the future. In Yanan City and Days Island, everything was thriving. Human beings were about to rise, and they could even exist outside of this world—humans had already begun to explore the universe!
This doesn't look like the end of the world at all, it is obviously a great prosperity that will never happen in thousands of years!
While Chen Yan was in a state of confusion, Tydanios in his arms licked his chin again.

Chen Yan looked down at its cute fluffy cheeks, and subconsciously thought: It's exactly the same as Goudan's habit.

Chen Yan raised his head, but the fog in front of him was still endless.

I don't know how long I stayed in the mist, but finally there was a change in front of me——

The thick fog began to blur, and the gray mist began to turn black and thick, until it turned into complete darkness after a while.

Even Salongmeier under his feet began to gradually disappear into the darkness!
Chen Yan hugged Tedanios tightly, staring at the darkness that seemed to swallow everything, without a lot of fear in his heart - he was very familiar with this thing, isn't this the darkness that can swallow light in [Wildness]? !

In the darkness that engulfed everything, the only light was the blue flames that emerged from the seven orifices of the unknown skull on the figurehead of Salommel.

Salomel is about to go into the wilds!
The darkness gradually became thicker, until the whole world was left with only a little blue light in the field of vision.

To Chen Yan's surprise, that blue light was slowly dimming!

'what's the situation? ! '

Looking at the darker and darker blue light, Chen Yan was extremely flustered. Once the darkness completely descends, [Desolation] will appear. He has nothing to deal with these monsters now that he has nothing to deal with!
To Chen Yan's disappointment, after a few breaths, the blue flame was completely extinguished.

The whole world fell into darkness.

"Shhhhhhhh..."

Ok?
Is this... the sound of the wind blowing through the dead branches and fallen leaves?
Before Chen Yan could react, he saw a burst of intense white light burst out in front of him, his eyes hurt, and he hurriedly closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to block the white light.

The sound of "唰唰唰" is getting closer and more real, until the familiar footsteps appear in the ear, Chen Yan raised his head in a daze——

There was a vast expanse in front of him, and the snow-covered birch forest spread to the end of his field of vision, and the owl-eared Klein and the fox-eared Liang Ansheng who were wearing animal skins were walking towards him.

what……

Chen Yan looked at the familiar animal skin bag on Klein's back, and realized that he had returned to the time when he first opened his eyes in this generation!
Chen Yan didn't know what happened, but said anxiously:
"I'll go to the village with you!"

The two were obviously taken aback, and then started to freeze and drop frames.

This is obviously not the content of the main storyline!
Owl Klein said one by one:

"you you you……"

With flickering eyes, Chen Yan said:
"You are Klein, Klein Justus, you are not someone else, you are an individual with an independent personality."

After hearing this, Owl Klein felt the same as when he was in the holy mountain before. The confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his frame-delayed body returned to normal within a few seconds.

"I'm Klein Justus."

The moment he saw Xiao Er Klein's firm eyes, Chen Yan suddenly realized, how can there be a person who has the same surname after countless generations?
Unless all of these are [predetermined settings], [identity settings], or... a set role-playing game.

He looked at Klein's firm eyes.

'The only difference is that in this game, NPCs can gain independent consciousness...the premise is to affirm their independent personality-this is [Enlightenment]. '

In order to verify his idea, Chen Yan looked at Third Uncle Hu Er and said:

"You are Liang Ansheng, not someone else. You have an independent personality."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Hu Er and Xiao Er Klein behaved completely differently——

After hearing Chen Yan's words, Third Uncle Hu'er started to twitch, frame drops turned into disordered frame rate and convulsions all over his body, his eyes were soaring in their eye sockets!
"Everyone...everyone..."

Uncle Hu'er opened his mouth, drooping his tongue, and murmured in a distorted voice:

"Everyone wants to... want to..."

He suddenly grabbed his face, pulled it to the sides, and howled wildly:
"So everyone is going to die!"

He let himself be torn apart, blood splattered all over the ground, so miserable.
