"It's a medium-sized room, with a table and four stools in the middle, and a cabinet in the corner with a pair of flowers hanging on it that can't be seen clearly."
Yang Ping frowned slightly and said, "By the way, there don't seem to be any candles or oil lamps in this room, but there is a kind of light falling from the sky that makes the whole room as bright as day."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"
Master Zixuan said so, but he already had a suspicion in his mind that the room in Yang Ping's dream might have come from hundreds of years later.
That's right, the "light falling from the sky" mentioned by Yang Ping may be an electric light, and the unclear painting is either a calendar or a printed landscape painting?
However, this room sounds very ordinary, as if there is nothing special about it.
"By the way, when I had this dream yesterday, there seemed to be a sound of footsteps in my ears. It sounded like several people were coming towards the room where I was, so I panicked and hid quickly.
I entered the next room, but this room was very dark. I could say that I couldn't see anything. I could only see some dark things, which seemed to be various pieces of furniture."
Yang Ping added: "Then these people sat down in the room where I was before, and then started chatting, but I couldn't hear what they were talking about clearly, and I woke up not long after.
.”
ah?
Shi Zixuan's expression suddenly became subtle, because Yang Ping's words reminded her of a person - Liu Xing.
The reason is very simple. Shi Zixuan also heard Liu Xing talk about the situation of his novice module, so now he feels that the situation described by Yang Ping is somewhat similar to the novice module Liu Xing experienced, but in a dream
Before Liu Xing and others entered the room, she had already hid in the next room.
So is this a string mod? Or is it just a normal coincidence?
Shi Zixuan originally wanted to ask something more, but Yang Ping changed the topic, and other NPCs also came over to join the conversation, so Shi Zixuan could only put aside the questions he wanted to ask for the time being.
It seems that after Liu Xing is done with Eagle, he will have to have a good chat with him.
At this time, the person who wanted to talk to Liu Xing was Tian Qing.
At this time, Tian Qing had already packed his luggage and was drinking tea with Lu Tianya in the yard.
As for Li Mengyao, she was very busy in her room because she had not packed her things in advance like Tian Ping and the other two.
"I didn't expect that we would start betraying the sect after only a few days in the sect."
Lu Tianya shook his head and said with emotion: "But fortunately, our sect is not very powerful, so we don't need to worry about someone chasing us all the way to Boyang City... But to be honest,
I think we are still a little sorry for the master. After all, our understanding is not low. Compared with those NPCs, it is still slightly better, so the master still values us. However, we have to betray the master. In this way, he is in the sect.
It won’t be any harder to get inside.”
Tian Qing sighed, shook his head and said: "If this is an ordinary module, then I will still struggle for a long time before doing this, and I should finally give up the idea of betraying the master. After all, I am doing this.
It will harm the master! Although he is just an NPC in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, we also know that these NPCs are actually no different from ordinary people, so if we really harm him, our conscience will definitely be uneasy."
"Yeah, when I knew that the NPCs in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall were no different from ordinary people, I started to feel a little constrained, so I chose to leave the Cthulhu Run Game Hall before, because
I already had some uneasy conscience at that time.”
Lu Tianya said helplessly: "In the second module after I joined the Cthulhu Run Game Hall, I tricked an NPC for my own selfish gain, and even if this NPC is still alive, he may be worse off.
Die! And the reason why I did this at that time was because I felt that NPC was just a piece of code, so even if it died because of me, it would be no different from me putting a file into the recycle bin... If there is a chance,
I still want to say sorry to him, and now I really understand what the other is."
"Others?"
At this time, Li Mengyao, who had finally packed his luggage, walked out and said: "Qingqing, if I remember correctly, Teacher He once told us about this other, right? To be precise, this other has been in the past one or two hundred years.
practical application."
"Teacher He has indeed discussed this topic with us."
Tian Qing sighed again, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Teacher He suddenly got into a car accident a few days after that and couldn't sleep. He should still be lying in the hospital now, right?"
Li Mengyao also sighed, sat down and said: "Yes, Teacher He is such a good person, but no one thought that he would encounter such an accident, and he has been lying there for several years, but now he carefully
Thinking about it, I kind of doubt that Mr. He is also a player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, because he would take out his phone to take a look at it from time to time in those days, even when he was walking.
And more importantly, the car accident itself was quite outrageous, and it gave people the feeling that it was destined to happen."
"oh?"
Lu Tianya, who didn't know the truth, frowned and said, "Although I don't know what kind of car accident this teacher He experienced, Mengyao, if you can confirm that this accident that was supposed to be an accident happened by coincidence, it's like someone
If the plots in these movies are the same, then he may really be a player in the Cthulhu Run game lobby; and the reason for his car accident is also very simple, that is, he started to play for some reason a few seconds before the car accident.
The Cthulhu Run game hall chose to cause him to be temporarily comatose in a car accident in order to prevent him from suddenly collapsing in public."
"If this is the case, it means that Teacher He has been in a module for several years. Because he has neither completely died or disappeared, nor has he awakened again, it can only mean that he is still trapped in the module.
It didn’t come out of the module.”
Tian Qing thought for a while and continued: "I remember that some modules that lasted for several years were mentioned in the forum, and these modules generally come from the Hounds of Tindalos area, so if Teacher He is really because of this
If he got into a car accident while installing a module, it means that he might be the first batch of players in the Cthulhu Run game lobby."
"By the way, this Teacher He you are talking about, is his surname He? Is it He Gu's He, or He from He Miao? Or He from Lotus? I used to have a friend named He Hua." Lu Tianya said seriously.
asked.
"It's He Miao's He. But according to Teacher He, his surname should have been Cheng. It's just that he had a serious illness when he was a child and never recovered. Then his grandfather didn't know where he got a prescription to treat it.
He was cured, but after that his surname was reduced by half, from Cheng to He!" Tian Qing said.
"That's okay. It's really possible that Teacher He is trapped in a module and can't get out."
Lu Tianya said with certainty: "If this is the case, then your teacher He and I can be regarded as friends of friends, because I have a friend who participated in three modules with him, and then parted ways for some reasons.
, but there was still contact between the two, until Teacher He disappeared after entering a certain module; the content of this module was also very simple, that is, a dream door appeared somewhere.
Many local NPCs disappeared because of this, so the players entered the scene and began to investigate this supernatural event, and in the end, not surprisingly, they were thrown into the dreamland."
"Dreamland, I remember that those modules that lasted for a long time are basically related to Dreamland." Tian Qing complained.
"This is normal, because the modules related to Dreamland basically have no time limit! Although there are some modules that have nothing to do with Dreamland that also have no time limit, but these modules generally take longer.
, the frequency and intensity of enemy appearances will be higher, and there may be more plot kills, so no matter how much players delay, they will not be able to delay for a few days before the group-killing ending will be activated.”
Lu Tianya said seriously: "As for why this situation occurs, many players have come to the common conclusion that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall does not want these modules to become nursing homes, so that the players in them can live in peace and safety.
Live on! If this martial arts module does not specify a duration, then I really want to stay in this module with Zhang Jingxu, even if we go to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests; and in the fantasy dreamland, the player can
It's hard to live a good life, because players are too weak in the fantasy world. They are the kind of weak characters who can give you a slap in the face when they pass by, not to mention there are moon beasts that can make your life worse than death.
exist."
"So it's true if it's ordinary."
Li Mengyao shook his head and said: "I remember that Liu Xing and the others also went to Dreamland for a while, and their life was not very good. And it was a good thing, because you still had some space and time to move around freely.
..So I can now imagine what Mr. He is doing, it’s nothing more than being locked up by a tribe of mythical creatures and working as a cow and a horse.”
"That's right, if a player stays in the dreamland for a long time, then nine out of ten of them will be captured by mythical creatures. As for the remaining ten or two, they will be forced to survive in the wilderness and be trapped in
There is a place where we can’t get out, but no matter what, this is a situation where the heavens and the earth cannot respond, and the earth and the earth cannot work together.”
Lu Tianya shrugged and continued: "If it's the latter, then Teacher He and the others are in a pretty good situation now, because the most difficult thing about surviving in the wilderness is the beginning. You have to collect enough supplies.
They have to deal with various situations, and they have to ensure the continuous production of food and water; but Teacher He and the others have endured it for so many years, so they can be considered muddle along for the rest of their lives, maybe until the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall closes
When good luck comes, they have the chance to get out of that module, and they don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune.”
"Then we can only wish Teacher He a good meal and drink."
Li Mengyao clasped her hands together and said: "I hope good people like Teacher He don't need to suffer in the Cthulhu Running Group game hall, nor do they need to become the real other!"
"Others? If I remember correctly, in ancient terms, they are not from my race, so their minds must be different, right?" Lu Tianya asked curiously.
"Absolutely. To put it bluntly, others are people who are different from us. As for the specific coverage, it depends on the situation. For example, the sentence you said, Lao Lu, comes from the Spring and Autumn Period, so the others at this time are people we often
The four categories mentioned are the Rong and Di barbarians, and at this time the Zhou people thought that they were not of the same kind as these people, or in other words, the Zhou people thought that they were civilized people, while the Rong and Di barbarians were all savages who knew nothing."
Tian Qing said with a smile: "Does this sound familiar? Yes, the group of people who thought that the sun never sets also thought so, but Zhou people's attitude towards others was non-contact, and the sun never sets.
That group of people chose slavery, and at the same time did those dirty things to make themselves feel at ease; just like what you said before, Lao Lu, when our NPCs are just a generation of code in the future, then we can do it for our own benefit
And betray these NPCs without any pressure."
"Yes, this can make us feel better and prevent us from carrying any psychological burden."
Li Mengyao stretched and continued: "Those squids still follow this routine until now. They regard their neighbors as others, so no matter what they do to others, they will not feel any psychological pressure. On the contrary, they still feel
There will be a feeling of complacency, and I feel that what I do is completely correct; so in recent years, a similar piece of news will appear every once in a while, that is, squid will deliberately attack, and even do it for their own happiness.
Take action."
"This is just like the mythical creatures in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. As long as they treat us players as others, they can do whatever they want."
Tian Qing sighed: "As I said before, no matter how strong the human imagination is, it is impossible to imagine things that have nothing to do with the real world. That's why some aliens in science fiction movies are ruthless and can treat humans unscrupulously.
By conducting various experiments, the result is that these aliens regard us humans as the Other, so there is no need to be polite when facing the Other."
"I see. It seems that the reason why mythical creatures like Yui Matsui are willing to live in peace with us is because they regard us as the same intelligent creatures."
