Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 949 Miao Shuisheng's Nightmare Drifting ([-]): The real world?
Cocklebur nodded in satisfaction:

"Yes."

"This is one of the meanings of [Flesh Ascension]—to make the human body stronger as a whole—to make humans stronger from the inside out, so that humans can withstand cancer and even stronger genetic mutations."

After Xanthium finished speaking, the satisfied expression gradually disappeared.

Miao Shuisheng sensed the gradually deepening emotions of cocklebur, and his own mood also sank.

"Over the years, I have been verifying my guesses and continuous experiments, and the results I have obtained prove that I am always correct-the direction of my research is correct, and the results of my research along this direction It's also correct."

"But I can't always get the final result."

Cocklebur paused briefly here.

"I don't get [the final result]."

"I reflect on it every day, why is this?"

"A correct research direction, with the correct research ideas and theoretical guidance, why can't we get the [final result]?"

Cocklebur's tone became firm.

"Finally, today, after seeing this patient, some of my important guesses were finally confirmed."

"aquatic."

The insane words spoken by Xanthium in a firm tone seemed beyond doubt.

"It's not my fault."

"It's the world that's wrong."

"This world is fake!"

Miao Shuisheng's eyes shook:
"But……"

Xanthium got up suddenly, took out the red capsule pills he just got from Liang Ansheng, and handed them to Miao Shuisheng.

Miao Shuisheng swallowed hard, then stretched out his hand without hesitation, resisting the strong physical discomfort in his heart, and swallowed the red capsule pill in one gulp!
Immediately afterwards, Xanth grabbed the patient's head on the hospital bed, pulled his hair, opened his screaming eyes, and placed them very close to Miao Shuisheng's eyes.

"Shuisheng! Take a good look! What does the world look like in his eyes!"

Miao Shuisheng was almost close to the patient's face, the red capsule in his mouth had already melted, a force from a deeper world began to invade his body, and Miao Shuisheng's intracranial pressure suddenly rose.

'It's over!I started to have cranial pressure!I'm going to have the same symptoms as this patient!I... I'm going to suffer from omnic disease! '

'I... I want sesame oil!I need some sesame oil! '

While Miao Shuisheng was terrified, the voice of cocklebur exploded in his ears like a bell:

"Shuisheng! Look into his eyes!"

His pupils gradually expanded following the words of Xanthium cocklebur, and the light in his eyes gradually overlapped with the light in the patient's pupils due to the expansion of the pupils, until the two eyes completely "merged", and the light and shadow in front of Miao Shuisheng changed suddenly——

He was muddled, as if he had experienced a dream that lasted for countless years.

Countless whispers flooded into my mind, and endless colorful lights and shadows appeared one after another.

Until the sound of a heavy rain exploded in his ears, Miao Shuisheng suddenly had a new vision——

Dilapidated high-rise buildings straight into the sky... No, there are no clouds here, there are only dark sky and black buildings with no end in sight. It is completely occupied, and the occasional lights and strange screams that escape from the street that forms the platform between the buildings make this place look like a devil's den!
The people in the devil's cave were bathed in the heavy rain from the sky, and they reveled in the rain amidst the unbridled howls. The dense neon lights made their writhing limbs seem to be distorted, even more inhuman.

This is...another vision of the patient—a vision of the world he has just described!

When Miao Shuisheng shifted his perspective, he saw heavy rain pouring down from the sky like a waterfall... No!Heavy rain doesn't come from the sky!
Miao Shuisheng saw countless huge circular pipes, and the heavy rain came from these pipes!

Miao Shuisheng immediately understood what the heavy rain was. He couldn't bear the physical discomfort any longer, and he suddenly leaned back, out of the patient's sight, hit the back of his head heavily on the ground, and immediately turned sideways——

"vomit!"

The sound of violent vomiting continued until all the stomach acid in the main body was vomited in this world, and there was nothing to vomit. Miao Shuisheng retched for a while before finally recovering.

When he raised his head again, the eyes of Xanthium had become very gloomy.

For a moment, Miao Shuisheng couldn't tell what was in Cocklebur's tone.

Is it disappointment?Is it anger?still……

fear?

Miao Shuisheng diverted all his attention based on subjective guesswork.

Can cocklebur be afraid? ?
Miao Shuisheng prevented himself from continuing to think.

The urgent and solemn voice of Xanthium has appeared:

"Shuisheng, what did you see?"

Miao Shuisheng told Xanth what he saw in the patient's eyes.

After listening to Xanthium, the disappointment on his face became even stronger.

"It's...is it just that?"

Disappointment almost overflowed his tone.

"The real world, unexpectedly...is it just like this..."

Cocklebur closed his eyes.

After a moment of contemplation, when Xanthium opened his eyes again, his expression and tone had returned to calm.

"No, that's wrong. The so-called [real world] is only for us."

Miao Shuisheng didn't make a sound. He was familiar with Xanthium and knew that Xanthium was just talking to himself now, and had no intention of communicating with him at all.

"The deeper the level of the world, the closer it is to the origin of the world, so it will be [more real].

The reason why it is called "more real" is because it will accept the more direct role of the original rules of the world, rather than the world we live in - in the world we live in, "the original rules of the world" have been derived many times, and have been It has been compiled many times, and it has even been [expanded] many times, redirected many times, destroyed and reborn many times...

The new rules of the world we live in have already been quite different from [the original rules of the world]——

The rules that apply to the world we live in are no longer what the [World Origin Rules] were originally.

Shuisheng, the [real world] you see is only deeper than the world we are in, and it is not the so-called [real world]. "

Xanthium pondered for a while, and repeated again:
"Yes, I'm right. The world you see can only be said to be [the world is deeper], and it can never be said to be [the real world]."

The pensiveness on Xanthium's face disappeared, so Miao Shuisheng knew that he should express his "valuable opinion" in a flattering manner:
"[The world we live in] and [the world in the eyes of patients], at most, is the difference between [software] and [BIOS]."

Xanthium nodded, his eyes were still thinking:

"Yes... 'at most' is a foully vague word, but it's appropriate here because we can't argue, we can only speculate.

When such conjectures are true, only the world where the [hardware] is located can be called the [true real world]—or the [real material world]. "

Miao Shuisheng said:
"So, it comes back to that philosophical question."

Cocklebur nodded:
"Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going?

We still cannot answer this question today.

Our vision is macroscopic, but we cannot deny the existence of the microscopic particle world. When the matter is small enough, some underlying rules of the microscopic particle world will be different from the physical rules we know—some physical rules are in the face of In the world of microscopic particles, it is no longer effective, and this rule becomes wrong at this time——

Faced with such a situation, can we say that the world we live in is false, and the world of microscopic particles is real?

Similarly, we have created a virtual network world. The data life in the virtual world is very different from our carbon-based life. The rules of the real world do not apply to them. Under such circumstances, we can say that they are Fake, are we real?
What is the so-called [real real world]?
I think the term itself is wrong - there is no absolute truth, and there is no absolute falsehood, everything we see is based on our [existing cognition] - that is, [known].

[Exploration] allows us to transform [unknown] into [known] - so our [exploration] behavior itself is no problem, and it can even be said that [exploration] is the most correct thing, it is to let everything go from [obscurity] , chaos and unknown] into [known], let us know who we are, where we are, and what we are doing. "

Xanthium didn't even add "one" at the end as rigorously as before.

He evidently believed in his speculations.

After pondering for a moment, Xanthium said:

"I knew before I came that very few people can come to such a deep world."

He refers to [ward].

"The rules of the deeper world are different from those of the present world. The deeper the rules are, the more indescribable they are. And the deeper world you just saw is called [Inaccessible Land] by explorers."

unreachable place...

Miao Shuisheng was thoughtful, and what nurse Ara said before finally had a clue——Nurse Ara and the octopus outside the door wanted to give these patients red capsules to allow them to enter place of arrival].

[Inaccessible place] From the literal meaning, it is obviously inaccessible, so even if these patients take a lot of red capsule pills like that, they still only exist in this [ward] and cannot enter the [Inaccessible place] land】.

From the current point of view, the red capsule pill, that is, the blood of the octopus, is a method of contacting the [Inaccessible Land]. Miao Shuisheng personally verified this method just now-he ate the red capsule pill, and the You can see some scenes in [The Unreachable Land].

But this kind of red capsule pill can't achieve the level of "letting the physical body enter". At most, it only allows the participants to explore the world through the "spiritual entry" method-the patient just now has obviously experienced that world. If the body is in the [ward], it must have entered the [unreachable place] through the spirit.

Xanthi then pointed to the two dead octopuses on the ground:
"They don't have [death]—in other words, [death] is not a rule that can take effect on them."

"After they lose their bodies, they will return to a certain narrow area between the [Inaccessible Land] and the [Deeper World] in the form of consciousness, and become things that exist in ideology."

"Once by chance, I used an instrument to see the narrow area where octopuses exist. It is a deep sea connected to the beach. The most obvious feature is the black celestial body above the beach—I don’t know if it is the sun or the moon. , is probably the root force for the octopus to survive."

"I call this narrowly [Black Beach]."

Xanthium obviously has a deep research on it, Miao Shuisheng thought, Xanthium's words have always been very rigorous, only on the premise of being very sure about a thing, Xanthium will use such a "affirmative" tone and accurate vocabulary.

When talking about what happened next, Xanthium seemed a little irritable.

"In fact, this place is not only a ward for Byron Weiss Group to accommodate patients with [Deep Omnic Disease], but also a [co-research laboratory] of the Mechanics Association and Byron Weiss Group [Phase II Cooperation].

The [Second Phase Cooperation] between the Mechanic Society and Byron Weiss Group... You don’t need to know the details, you just need to know that the purpose of this plan is to use the octopus [simultaneously exist in the "deeper world" and "unable to The characteristics of the "place of arrival"] send people at the level of our world, in the form of both physical and spiritual existence, into the "unreachable place". "

Miao Shuisheng observed the words and expressions, and understood what Xanthium was upset about, so he asked just right:

"Since it is [unreachable], why do they think it can be reached?"

Cocklebur said:
"This is the absurdity of this so-called [second-phase cooperation].

Their experiment process is very secretive. I didn't know they were doing this until I conducted an in-depth investigation through my past contacts because of the omnic disease.

I still don't understand what they are thinking. "

Cocklebur's attitude is still very cautious:
"But I believe that organizations like Byron Weiss Group and Mechanics Association will not do meaningless things. They must know something, so they have carried out such cooperation and started such experiments."

"The knowledge they have inherited from the old days always allows them to go ahead... But after this incident, I found that things are not as hopeless as I thought - the gap between us and them is not so big that I finally It’s impossible to catch up in a lifetime.”

Cocklebur looked at Miao Shuisheng.

The latter immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at the former.

"If you want to cooperate with the final sacrifice priest, cooperate with him."

Xanthium uttered a different rhetoric than before, and Miao Shuisheng was undecided in his heart.

Xanthium continued:

"In addition, don't destroy your body anymore. I have adjusted all parameters of your body to perfection. Now there is only one step left to enter the next stage."

After hearing this, Miao Shuisheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and came up with other thoughts:

You have clearly said many times before, I have experienced the perfect flesh and blood ascension ceremony, am I a perfect carbon-based life?

Why is there a next stage? !
