Wu Yiliu's right index finger seemed to be pulled up by a thread, suddenly lifted into the air, and lightly tapped his thigh. But he knew clearly that it was him who gave the order to the index finger——
The execution of this action is completely based on his own will.
Take a look at the woods to the left.
Take a look at the woods to the left.
The dark silhouette of the woods on the left is finely trimmed into high and low forest canopies by the night, and a hazy white moon floats in the night sky like a thin line.
What happened today? Looking back, he just took a nap due to fatigue. When he woke up, he found that the small room was extremely quiet - Abi was asleep, and Burns and Cuining hadn't come back yet.
...If I remember correctly, it seems to be two o'clock in the afternoon.
After being stirred up, the whole body of the house trembled. When he looked again, the night had dissipated: dark clouds gathered over the mountains and forests, weighing down the skylight and gradually weakening, making him gasp for breath. Everything was immersed in a cold and cold tone.
Even though it was dark, it was still daytime.
Why does he see the night sky? Is there an illusion?
Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and he couldn't help but tighten the blanket wrapped around him; in the incomplete and faint reflection reflected in the glass, a white hand reached up to his shoulder and tightened the edge of the blanket.
, and then froze motionless.
No, when he got up, he took off the blanket.
Don't let go, wrap up tighter, wrap up tighter, don't let go... It's going to rain, it's very cold, wrap up tighter.
"It wasn't until then that I heard that voice for the first time, and finally understood why I put those women's shoes on my feet without knowing it. I didn't know it was already in my ears.
It has been ringing in my mind for a long time, but I know it must have been a long time."
Wu Yiliu was still sitting on the stone as he was, and Abi across from him was doing the same, raising a small, round face towards him, white, as if it were a frozen wax figure.
"I'm not the only one who felt like there was a voice. When Pence was washing his face, he asked us if anyone was talking...Obviously, he heard something at that time. After he heard some kind of human voice,
His next move was to grab the plastic bag containing clothes and hats. Looking back now, it was as if he had been persuaded to do so."
"You used 'persuasion' instead of 'command'," Abi suddenly spoke, and the frozen wax figure suddenly moved, which shocked the room secretly - "This makes me feel that you are a very cruel person.
Spiritual."
After finishing speaking, Abi was like a robot that had lost its power, stagnating and falling silent again. Rain slipped from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all.
Wu Yiliu felt uncomfortable for her and couldn't help but wiped his eyes and said: "I still don't have enough experience. To be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes. It was only after I ran into the forest with you that I suddenly realized that there was a thread on the blanket.
The one with long blond hair. Before that, my mind was all messed up. There were copies with no clear purpose, clothes and hats that were wrapped around people for no apparent reason, and... and people who were gradually beginning to deform."
"I started to have doubts when I was halfway through the story." Abi opened his mouth and his teeth were vaguely visible and said, "Why did you choose to tell me such a story at this time and at this place..."
"I know that Burns and Cuining can't chase them out. Besides sitting in the rain is uncomfortable, if you want to tell a story, there is nothing wrong with this opportunity. I happen to have a lot of time to tell you, and you also have a lot of time to listen.
"
Wu Yiliu wanted to take a look in the direction of the hut, but when he thought that that white, waxy face would only exist in his peripheral vision for a moment, he held back.
"Oh?" Abi tilted his head, "How do you know they won't come after you? And since you have noticed that there is something wrong with Abi, why are you still telling me a story?"
"Let me answer your first question first. Pence and Cuining are different from Abi. They have not completely 'transformed' yet." He stared at the person opposite him without blinking.
He said as calmly as possible: "If transformation is the real purpose, the two of them will not be released from the hut before this real purpose is achieved... because that hut is filled with 'other people's will'. It is 'other people'
'The will' is gradually eroding the four people we entered into the dungeon, and changing the people under the skin."
If Pence and Cuining chased them out, they would have escaped from the "voice" in the hut. By then, if they had completely regained their self-awareness and control - not to mention completely, even most of them, the previous efforts would have been equivalent to
It was watered down.
"Although I ran out unexpectedly, I did not lose control. After all, there was Abi beside me." Under the continuous impact of the downpour, his mind had become clearer, and Yaichi Liu was recalling
As time passed, he gradually regained control of himself. "They haven't appeared until now, which I think is a good proof."
"Hmm, so it seems that you have already made a guess about the situation of this copy?"
Wu Yiliu nodded. It was difficult for him to shake off this feeling: everything at the moment seemed like the Creator knew about his past experiences and played a tasteless joke on him.
Abi waved his hand, as if with a kind of condescending tolerance, and said: "Tell me about it."
He put his elbows on his legs and leaned forward. "...Is that mountain hut really a copy?"
"Why...do you have such suspicion?" Abi slowly stretched his head and asked.
She seemed unwilling to miss any of his next words - Wu Yiliu suddenly had the illusion that he was participating in a market survey.
"If it were any evolver in the world, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such doubts like me." He said with a wry smile, "But... I don't know. This is just my feeling. I don't have any solid knowledge."
according to."
Abi then slowly sat back down in the rain. She pondered for a while, and then said: "Well, your experience is unique, so others should not have such thoughts."
From these words, he felt like he heard a bit of self-confirmation, as if she was confirming to himself that there was no need to worry about others outside the house.
"That--"
"You guessed wrong," Abi interrupted him calmly, "but you also guessed right."
Wu Yiliu must have looked puzzled, because she glanced at him, couldn't help but smile, and said: "This 'camping cabin' is indeed not a copy."
"Then what do you mean -" Before he could finish his words, he suddenly understood and almost stood up. "The copy is the other half?"
Since arriving at the camping house, their energy has been completely captured by the weirdness of the camping house itself. However, the fundamental reason that prompted them to come to this camping house in the first place has been despised by several people.
: They had been told that a new dungeon suddenly opened inside a certain organization's stronghold base, and four people were trapped there; the room in that base was only half of the room, and the other half was a camping house in the mountains.
None of them forgot that there was still half of the copy. It was just that they could not contact the four people who were trapped, and that half of the copy had nothing to do with the situation in front of them; they naturally classified it as part of the background and treated it
Out of sight.
"Yes, the real dungeon is actually just that room. The number of participants has long been full." Abi raised a hand and gestured "four". She smiled and said: "This camping house is a dungeon.
A 'competitive playing field' for the four of us."
There were four players in the real dungeon... They tricked four more people into entering the camping house. Ichiyanagi rolled this number over in his mind several times, feeling like the rain had seeped into his bones, and he was shivering with cold.
"So, it has some characteristics of a dungeon. For example, the stimulus test Pence did at the beginning will not damage the house. Because it is just an event venue, not the dungeon itself. You are the target we want to attack, so
For you, naturally there are no clear rules or clearance conditions. You can only stay in the house day by day." Abi thought for a while and said, "I think it is precisely because of these details that you can
Do you think it is a fake copy?"
She shook her head as if sighing: "Who knows, the apocalyptic world is really full of surprises. The first time the new dungeon is run, it will run into you who has experienced the fake dungeon. You have bad luck at the beginning, really."
"The four of you..." Wu Yiliu wrung his hands tightly to prevent himself from trembling in the cold rain. He said steadily: "What is your goal?"
"You should have guessed it, right? You are quite a smart person," Abi smiled. "Do you think that after the dungeon is over, Abi can become Abi again?"
Wu Yiliu could only stare at her blankly.
"While you were driving to the campground, we were also walking to the campground."
Abi said in a low voice, "Of course, our bodies are still sitting well in the room where the copy appeared, located in the organization's base; I am lying on a recliner at this time, and I have not been there for several days.
It's fallen to the ground.
"You can say that what came over was our souls, or our spiritual projections... In the state of souls, we traveled through a completely different land than usual, and found you by following the lights of the camping house."
Abi smiled slightly and said: "That's why the TV reminds you to turn off the lights so as not to attract unwelcome creatures - which means us."
Wu Yiliu remained silent.
"The first contact between us happened very early, because a player was lucky enough to meet Cuining who was checking the scope of the dungeon in the mountain forest - she and Abi split up for a while."
No wonder...no wonder after he hurriedly turned off the lights, one of the two women who came back from outside to check the copy range began to have a deformed face.
Abi looked very satisfied and said, "But what's the use of it? I was the first person to completely defeat the target."
In this way, his feeling was indeed correct - that camping cabin was filled with other people's will; and other people's will always wanted to invade the bodies of Yaichi Liu and others.
