We Are Gamers

"...The game is over." Bai Ge said.

"I understand." Fei Chief scratched the back of his head: "I'm sorry."

"This kind of thing happens occasionally, I'm used to it." Bai Ge clasped his back: "Just go back and invite me to dinner."

"That's necessary, please eat ten catties of lobster."

The two young men were walking on the small road, facing the fish-belly in the east, chatting and laughing.

If the game is over, it is meaningless to continue to care about the gains and losses in the game.

Until the first ray of morning light illuminates the earth.

The notification sound of the game system sounded.

The mournful sound effects are accompanied by heavy saxophone music.

It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity]

【Evaluation completed】

【Please click on the screen to continue】

Because of the failure of the game strategy, the evaluation this time is full of regrettable characters.

But the failure of the main line is the failure of the main line, no matter what the result is gameover.

So the reward is gone, and the game currency is of course gone.

Even after clicking the screen, there is only one prompt.

[Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, young heroes, please start over]

"Tsk..." Bai Ge's heart didn't fluctuate, and he even punched the screen, and cracks appeared on the virtual screen, pretending that the computer screen was hammered.

"Calm down, calm down." Fei Chief said with a dry smile, "Although there is nothing to say, isn't your creed happy..."

"Do you think I'm happy?" Bai Ge looked coldly at the side: "You think I let your wife go for pleasure? Thinking about it normally, out of a million possibilities, only the savior's survival rules can do it." Save your wife's life! Everything else is a dead end ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!"

"She's not my wife yet, she hasn't received a marriage certificate yet."

Feiji weakly corrected the sentence.

"Is this a question of whether your wife is a wife?"

Bai Ge patted his thigh, as irritable as a monkey locked in a cave for five hundred years.

"Then why do you want to help? It's not pleasant, and it's not kind."

The non-chief is like a stick-making monk who is puzzled.

"Let me ask you...how many memories do you keep?" Bai Ge asked bluntly: "All five days' memories are completely preserved?"

"Yes, completely reserved." Fei Chief nodded: "I basically remember everything that happened..."

"Then why don't you feel that something is wrong?" Bai Ge asked lightly.

"What's wrong..." Feiqiu was taken aback for a moment. He fell into the memory and pondered for more than ten seconds. It seems, it seems a little confusing..." He looked at Baige suspiciously, with a confused expression: "But there are quite a few specific parts that I can't recall clearly."

"Because the world line has changed." Bai Ge looked at Feiqiu: "I once asked you on the fourth night, that should have been the last day you experienced the timeline... At that time, you told me what you experienced On the fifth day, it should have failed, in other words, the mission should have been successful, so Nangongrou is undoubtedly dead... But in fact, I released the water and even helped you, so Nangongrou didn't die. "

"...Maybe that's the case?" Feiji was not sure either.

"But it's not that simple." Bai Ge said, "It's far from...so simple."

"That's why you helped." Feiji said seriously, "Tell me about it."

"If you want to know this, you have to figure out the timeline you experienced from the very beginning." Baige clicked on the screen, started drawing on the virtual screen with his bare hands, and drew a straight horizontal line. He pointed at the red line and said: "This is the normal timeline, and it is also my timeline. From the first day to the fifth day, there is no confusion or disorder in the sequence."

Then he went on to draw another table, a table with two layers and five lines, marking the day and night from the first day to the fifth day respectively: "This is your timeline, it's very chaotic."

The non-chief looked at the tables connected by different lines and nodded: "It's really messy."

"The biggest time span is the jump from the daytime of the first day to the night of the fifth day." Bai Ge said: "Obviously the fifth day is an extremely important day for both of you and my timeline."

"I understand this point." Fei Chief said: "But from the conclusion, even if the time axis of the experience is different, this is a straight line... Even if the process is very tortuous, the total length of time experienced is the same. "

"That's true." Bai Ge said again: "But...have you considered whether the fifth night you experienced is the fifth night on the same timeline?"

"...What?" Feiqiu was a little confused for a moment: "Isn't it just a timeline?"

"Don't you understand?"

Bai Ge raised his hand and rearranged the table.

Then, he added another table before the table, and added a table after the table. The table has exactly the same content, and the content representing the time axis is also exactly the same.

He turned his head to look at the African chief: "Do you understand?"

"This, this..." Fei Chief's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.

"As long as you arrange the time axis of these five days repeatedly, the time axis you experienced will no longer appear so chaotic." Bai Ge said flatly: "Because the fifth night you experienced...is the last time. Fifth Night of the Axis!"

"How can you be sure that there must be a previous timeline?" Fei Chief immediately tried to deny it. This possibility made him feel a strong panic in an instant, because if it is really the same as what Baige deduced, then wouldn't this be a...

"This is a reincarnation that keeps repeating." Bai Ge said the possibility of the most panic in his heart: "In the timeline experienced by your game, when your timeline reaches the fourth night, your The time has all been used up...Because your fifth night is connected to the first day's day, assuming this is exactly the same timeline, why can it give birth to completely different results?"

The non-chief was speechless.

Two identical memories further illustrate this point.

Cold sweat soaked his back in the inadvertent deep thought.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, if you can't jump out of reincarnation, you will never notice it. Only after you get out of reincarnation can you realize that it's all over now." Bai Ge said flatly: "Because of two different results Only then did I confirm that this is a game that would never end, it is the eternal Ouroboros, even if the game is successful, you will never get out of this cycle of time and space."

"So, that's why... did you choose to fail the game on purpose?" Fei Chief looked at Baige with horror in his eyes.

"Yes." Bai Ge said, "In order to escape this continuous time cycle."

Fei Chief clenched his fists, and the little complacency in his heart completely dissipated.

The continuous repetition of five days, going round and round, through the link of the fifth day's night, finally constitutes a long and huge space-time Ouroboros, which will be a nightmare that will never end.

Bai Ge's reason for releasing the water was to help him get rid of the continuous time and space created by the game system...

"Sorry." Fei Chief said with lingering fear, "I'm a little..."

He didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment, as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life one second, was told that he had a terminal illness the next second, and then was told that your terminal illness was cured... left over from the roller coaster experience The deepest emotion is fear.

"Actually, there is another possibility." Bai Ge saw that he was in a bad mood, and said aloud, "This inference is based on the cycle of time and space."

"What's possible?" Feiji chose to listen, but his mood would not be worse than it is now.

"This space-time cycle is not caused by the system... because even the time-space that repeats continuously has a starting point, where is this starting point?" Bai Ge stood in the data space and said in a calm tone: "Maybe this It all stemmed from a difficult game. Although the players won at the end of the game, one of them couldn't be happy anyway. He racked his brains to think of countermeasures, and finally begged the system for help, hoping to restart the game , to restore the blade that failed to save... If the goal cannot be successfully achieved, the game will continue to repeat the cycle."

Fei Chief raised his head, and he smiled wryly: "You think highly of me."

"If the main line of the game is successful, the game will continue to reincarnate forever, and you will be trapped in it forever... Only when the main line of the game fails, will the timeline of this cycle break and come to an end." Bai Ge meant something Said: "The game system obviously won't give such a mission with no chance of winning, but this time it clearly requires the player to fail. Why do you think this is?"

The African chieftain stopped smiling bitterly, he thought for a while, and it was true.

"The group owner's comments are all written out, you have to pay attention to read them." Bai Ge read: "It's a pity, it's a pity...it's a pity, your pity is not a pity, it's a very clear reminder."

The non-chief's eyes widened: "So, this is... I cheated myself?"

"Maybe it is." Bai Ge sighed, "Maybe even I was used by you... There are more than how many times in the cycle, and I finally bet on my one-in-a-million soft-heartedness. Hard enough."

----------------------

ps: The reversal of this volume is compressed after the game is over. This is the real essence of this volume, the double reversal.

Designing this trick is actually quite brain-intensive. For this reason, I even had to write an outline... I don’t need an outline when I usually write puzzles, but this time the timeline is indeed too complicated.

I have also answered questions about the timeline in the comment area, because this is not a simple confusion of the timeline, but a timeline that is constantly looping. If you don’t understand it, I hand-drawn it on my computer. Although the two tables are ugly and messy, they can be compared.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"what happened."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Ge's pupils shrank slightly.

"This this……"

The African Chieftain also looked horrified, which he also couldn't understand.

The two players who just finished the game left the game space. They looked at the messy shopping mall and lost their minds for a while.

This is the largest shopping mall in Jinling, with tens of millions of people moving around each year, and they are currently located on the first floor of the shopping mall... Originally, they just took the time to run a two-player game, in order to save this hour of boring waiting, but Who would have imagined that in this short hour, what kind of accident happened, which caused the entire shopping mall to become empty.

Not only is there no one there, but there is a mess everywhere in the empty space.

The traces on the ground are very messy, and there are many items left behind. The merchandise shelves and billboards have been pushed down to the ground and there is no one to clean them up. It can be seen that the degree of panic is not ordinary.
