Infinite weird games

The uncanny valley effect brings about both psychological and physical discomfort. The skin is robbed of heat by the air conditioning, like falling into an ice cellar.

The sense of disharmony was like a web, and Qisi felt the long-lost confusion, vasoconstriction, accelerated blood flow, and shortness of breath. Instead, he seemed to be surprised and excited.

After a long time, he said with a smile: "If it just doesn't look like a human being, it can be solved with makeup."

Jin Yusheng said seriously: "You have no soul."

Qisi fell silent and stared at the mirror intently. He didn't look away until he felt a small tingle and itching in his heart.

He asked: "In your opinion, is it the body or the soul that determines what makes a person human? If it is the soul, then why are you obsessed with maintaining the vital signs of the body? If it is the body, then why do you regard whether there is a soul as the basis? Judgment criteria?”

Jin Yusheng said: "It doesn't matter how I look at it. The standard of judgment for Weird Games is the soul."

Qisi understood and asked: "Then what do you think is the criterion for judging whether a person has a soul?"

Jin Yusheng put away the tablet and said in a bad tone: "You just promised that you wouldn't discuss these boring issues with me, so don't keep your words."

Ziss seemed not to have heard and continued speaking very quickly: "African peoples insist that newborns have no souls, so they can abandon their wives and children with peace of mind to reduce the cost of raising children; some religions need to intimidate believers. Give birth to more children to increase the population to support them and expand your influence, thus claiming the existence of souls..."

"Some people think that the soul is the self-awareness of being born, and some people think that it is the invisible thing that is rumored to be 21 grams. What about you? I am very curious, what set of standards do you use to judge the existence of the 'soul' Or not?"

Zeiss tilted his head, his unfocused eyes showing moderate confusion, as if he wanted to know the answer.

"I don't know." Jin Yuchang let out a long breath, his expression showing a bit of exhaustion, "I believe in the judgment of Weird Game. When it determines that I have fulfilled my wish, it means that Qisi's soul is back."

"You regret making that wish." Chiss smiled and said with determination, "You have known Chiss for six years and you know what kind of scum he is. Death is the best ending for him, and all sins have settled. Right and wrong are finalized; and as a mediocre and normal person, you never dare to bear the responsibility of bringing evil spirits back to the world. "

"More importantly, you understand that once he knows that you have become a player, he will definitely find ways to deal with the hidden danger of you knowing him too well. After being impulsive, you realized this belatedly, so you began to be afraid , began to hesitate, and naturally used the 'soul' as the reason to deliberately slow down the resurrection process. "

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and Jin Yusheng's face turned ugly, because Qisi said exactly the facts that he could not refute.

After pondering for two seconds, he sighed quietly: "But I have to resurrect him. Once the wish is made, it cannot be changed. If I don't resurrect him, I won't be able to make new wishes, and I will never be able to get rid of the weird game."

Qisi's smile hung on his face like a mask: "If you just want to change your wish, maybe I can help you."

Jin Yusheng didn't answer. He picked up a walkie-talkie on the table and said, "It's over. Send No. 9 back to the observation room."

…

After going around in circles, Ziss returned to the observation room again, fixed in a lying position, staring at the surveillance camera on the ceiling.

Although the fact that "I am a clone" is somewhat difficult to accept, under rationalist analysis, more and more evidence has been put on the table, making the conclusion tilt towards the bad side.

First, his three questions have all been reasonably explained.

He was left alone in a room because the researchers were irresponsible, and looking back at the attitude of those in white coats, it was clear that they lacked enthusiasm for work.

His body in reality did not die immediately, most likely because Jin Yusheng casually made a wish to resurrect him, and Weird Game was happy to use him to hang Jin Yusheng in order to extract more sins.

The existence of the research institute and resurrection technology is more reasonable. The gadgets exchanged from weird games do not need to be scientific.

Second, Jin Yusheng’s attitude is very real.

If this guy is exactly the same as Qisi remembers from beginning to end, Qisi will be relieved and be sure that he is the NPC reproduced in the copy of the weird game one-to-one.

But at first he maintained a mask-like indifference, looking like an old player who had been playing in the dungeon for three years, only the phantom of the past was revealed inadvertently... This was very realistic.

Also, at the beginning, I wanted to resurrect him out of some kind of messiah complex, but ended up regretting it halfway through the resurrection, and just muddle along like an ostrich. This kind of reaction is also not fake.

In reality, Jin Yusheng is such a hesitant person, and although he often helps him with dirty work and makes some bloody black money through his means, he never has the courage to commit crimes against humanity. If it’s a big deal, if you encounter a murder on the road, you might call the police...

Third, Jin Yusheng believed that "wish cannot be changed."

Judging from Zeiss's experience, wishes can be changed by spending points; Weird Games naturally knows this, and if it is deliberately designed, it would not be able to reveal such an obvious flaw in this aspect.

The game copy is based on logic, only reality does not require logic. Although I don’t know why Jin Yusheng was unable to change his wish, it just shows that this situation is the reality.

Finally, and most importantly, Ziss saw that his own image in the mirror was obviously not a living person.

Game forums have summarized countless laws over the past thirty-six years, and one of them is that "only role-playing copies will change the player's image." The player will either become a completely unrelated person, or it will be in his own face, and only the eyes and other details will not change.

Of course, it may also be due to survivor bias. People who encountered special circumstances died in the dungeon. After leaving, they were busy leaving their last words and had no time to pass on their experiences.

- But this is not good news either.

Thoughts entangled Qisi like vines. After a long silence, Qisi grinned and showed a bright smile: "I look like Qiss, I think I am Qiss, my thoughts and memories are Qiss, and so are my behavioral choices. Qisi...then why can’t I be Qisi?”

…

About two hours later, the nurse came in again pushing the trolley.

As she took out the blood pressure monitor to adjust it, Ziss said, "I want to see your dean, and I forgot to explain something."

The tone of these words was very much like that of a criminal who wanted to supplement his confession. The nurse did not dare to neglect and ran out in a hurry.

Ten minutes later, Jin Yusheng appeared in the observation room with an impatient look on his face: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

This time, Ziss asked directly: "Have you thought about it?"

Jin Yusheng was stunned: "What are you considering?"

Qisi once again had a smile on his face: "You just want to end the current wish quickly so that you can make a new wish for the weird game. Then you say, if the difficulty of the wish skyrockets during the process of realizing the wish, The estimated points required are far lower than the actual situation. Will Weird Games be willing to continue this loss-making business?”

"Don't you want to say..."

"It's just what you think."

Jin Yusheng's face suddenly turned ugly, and his voice became colder: "You have his memory, and you should know that I can't hurt anyone if I hurt him. In that summer camp nine years ago, if he hadn't saved me, I would have died Burned to death in the fire..."

"He set the fire." Qisi raised his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"……ah?"

"If it weren't for the purpose of causing chaos, he would not have picked the locks of every room. He was actually curious about how quickly human flesh was charred in such a spectacular bonfire, and he still regrets not trying it."

Jin Yusheng's face was stiff and his voice was harsh: "Do you think I'm a fool? My leg was injured at that time. There was no need for him to turn around and carry me on his back. It would only slow down his escape..."

"Oh, of course it's because he thinks about the long term." Chiss recalled the past and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. "When he was young, Chiss didn't have much confidence in his acting skills and didn't think he could perform without props. Under the circumstances, he successfully performed miserably and won the sympathy of others..."

"And you look miserable when you are covered in injuries. Not only can it show the seriousness of the problem, but it can also stage a touching scene of never leaving and sacrificing one's life to save people. In this way, taking a ride to call the police and staying overnight will change the situation." It’s much easier, and maybe I can have a meal at the house of some caring aunts.”

He paused for a moment, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes: "As for you being so grateful to Chiss and being willingly used by him for six years, that was outside of his plan."

"Chis originally wanted to establish contact with you by providing help in times of need in exchange for a certain degree of help. After all, you look pampered and well-off, and it doesn't look like you were sold into it by a relative. He sent you home and pretended to be more pitiful. , your family has to take him in for a while."

"It turns out that he had a good idea. Although your family is not rich, since your parents are unreliable enough to send their children to that kind of summer camp, they will naturally not doubt what he is doing. Plus some kind of knowledge You are so simple and knowledgeable that you supported him for half a year until he inherited his parents’ inheritance.”

Ziss is a person with a strong desire to perform. He likes to describe everything he has done in front of his victims, and then mock the deceived hapless ghost from beginning to end.

He happily smacked the artistic lies weaved in the past, and the fingertips of his right hand tapped the rhythm of Twisted Nerve on the bed rail.

"Looking at your expression, it seems that the eight seniors in front of me didn't tell you this? By the way, do you really think that the death of your parents was an accident? You encountered a series of accidents later, and Qisi could always downplay it every time. Let’s help you solve it—do you think this could all be a coincidence?”

"To be honest, I'm curious, why do you naively think that Qisi, who doesn't even care about his parents, will sincerely cherish you, a 'friend' who can be regarded as a common tool at best. What do you think this is? Self-PUA? "

Jin Yusheng sneered: "Why do you think I will believe a clone of you?"

Qisi raised his face and his tone became solemn and solemn: "Actually, you already believe it. Emotions and grudges are fragile, and interests are the eternal measurement objects. Letting an unstable factor like Qisi survive will do more harm than good - -Is not it?"

Jin Yusheng's eyes wandered: "Weird Games can't be deceived so easily. Wouldn't they be able to tell if I take the initiative to cause trouble?"

"So you need my help." Qisi's eyes were full of smiles, as if he was thinking of the playwright of the classic scene, "Jin Yusheng felt soft for a moment and untied the clone; the clone took the opportunity to escape from the observation room, Killing the Matrix – What do you think of this script?”
