End of Mystery

In the chaos of the surrounding carriages, Xiao Xiao slightly closed his eyes.

Previously, in the small building, the content of the theoretical research on the aborigines came to his mind a little bit.

Most of the theories of the aborigines are guesses and theoretical logical deliberations, because they cannot intuitively participate in the interactions and effects brought about by various strange forces, nor can they clearly perceive the spiritual world of foreigners, so they There are so many theories left behind, but very few that have been corroborated, but Xiao Xiao is different, he really felt all kinds of changes.

It can be said that after only staying in the small building of the old president for a few days, he has already achieved a lot in the theoretical research of the "matrix".

Maybe if you enter the Black Forest, you can get a good job.

so……

...The point is, are there any bullets in the gun?

This silver pistol was confiscated from the Silver Bullet family. The characteristic of the Silver Bullet family is to make a bloodthirsty bullet, a bullet with a certain degree of autonomy, and paired with this pistol that has a strong desire to shoot. However, Xiao Xiao got a silver pistol, but he didn't know how to make that kind of bullet, so what he pursued was not great power.

He liked the gun simply because he didn't have to worry about forgetting to reload it.

Because of this gun, there is always the desire to kill, even if there is no bullet, you can reload the bullet yourself.

But this is only from the perspective of foreigners.

From the perspective of the aborigines, if there is no bullet in the gun, there is no bullet. This is an unchangeable reality and physical law.

But why can I still kill this man?

Silently comparing the information he had seen in the old president's small building, Xiao Xiao came up with an explanation in his heart.

Because I believed there were bullets in the gun.

Because when I shot, I believed that there were bullets in the gun, so I completed the action of shooting and killing people, and because I completed this action on the spiritual level, so while shooting, my spiritual world affected this man. At the level of the spiritual world, he also thought that he was shot, so he died, and the onlookers were also mentally affected.

They thought they saw a picture of someone shooting and killing people, so they had the illusion of their heads being blown to pieces.

So, in this carriage, reality is rewritten.

Obviously it was just an empty gun, but because I believed that there were bullets in the gun, it formed the picture of someone being killed that everyone saw.

For the aborigines, what everyone sees is actually an illusion.

But because everyone saw the same illusion, for the people in this compartment, this illusion is reality.

I think I have bullets in my gun, you feel that there are bullets in your gun, and so do the people watching.

Then, the fact of the murder appeared.

Such a weird and absurd logic appeared in Xiao Xiao's mind, and he felt countless doubts filling his heart for a moment.

Under the explosion of thoughts, his face became more and more serious, only his eyes became more and more serious.

...

...

"not good……"

At this moment, Lin Bo was shocked when he saw Xiao Xiao clearly said not to do anything, but suddenly changed his mind and killed the faded guy. The sleeping people were awakened one after another at this time, staring at themselves at the same time. There are already quite a few of them, and there are signs of skin peeling on their bodies, and their skin is cracked.

"You clearly said that you should not do anything, but your emotional transformation is too sudden..."

He yelled: "Killing the skin-fading monsters in front of the aborigines may contagious and intensify the maliciousness of these monsters, and it is possible that the aborigines in the entire carriage will turn into monsters to besiege us, and even affect us. The movement of the train."

"Once we are forced to leave the train, it is possible to get lost in a huge sea of ​​fog..."

"...We are not pirates, and we may not be able to find the correct path back to the city from the misty sea."

"..."

"Don't be nervous."

But listening to Lin Bo's worried words, Xiao Xiao just let out a sigh of relief.

After he shot, he figured out the logic in less than two seconds, and he also had the idea of ​​further verifying other things. Therefore, before the panic of the people around him spread, and all the people around him He became tense, his skin split like that man, and he turned into a skin-peeling monster. He was already holding a gun, and his arm slowly moved to the left, aiming at someone else.

The woman faced the gun with a horrified expression on her face.

In the world of strangers, this woman's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and the skin on her back was split open, revealing bright red tentacles.

"Boom!"

Xiao Xiao shot her dead.

The panic around suddenly became more severe, and even Lin Bo and others were shocked beyond description.

They even jumped up, wondering if Xiao Xiao had gone crazy, or whether they should stop him.

But their reaction was obviously not as fast as Xiao Xiao's. After Xiao Xiao fired the second shot, he stopped hesitating and pulled the triggers one after another. A kind of ecstasy appeared in the silver pistol in his hand towards everyone in the carriage. The feeling of being so satisfied has never been satisfied before. There were excited roars in the barrel of the gun, and lethal bullets shuttled through the bodies of the people in the carriage.

A bullet can shatter a person's head, and then penetrate another person's chest.

And with the strong accumulation of this killing desire, the power of the bullets is getting stronger and stronger, and it has become a flaky lethality.

With a gunshot, the surrounding passengers died in droves.

Both Lin Bo and Xiao Si turned pale from fright, and huddled tightly in their seats, wishing they could hug their feet.

But only four or five seconds, Xiao Xiao killed all the passengers in this carriage.

Then, he quietly sat back in his seat with a calm expression on his face.

"you……"

Lin Bo was panicked, and shouted at Xiao Xiao: "Why did you do this?"

"Because it's annoying..."

Xiao Xiao glanced at Lin Bo impatiently. In the bloody and cruel scene he had turned into, his face gradually showed a relaxed and comfortable expression, and he slowly closed his eyes. The calmness of the scene formed a huge contrast with the strong smell of blood and cruel scenes that filled the surroundings. Even at Lin Bo's level, he couldn't help but feel creepy.

But at the same time, because everyone was killed, there was an intense dead silence in the carriage.

Only outside the carriage, there was an endless sea of ​​blood churning, and there seemed to be some kind of weird thing laughing wildly inside.

I don't know how long it has passed. In theory, it should be a very short time.

The surrounding stumps, broken arms, and scattered brains and blood suddenly began to flow back gradually, as if time was flowing backwards, and the blood flowed back to their respective owners' bodies undisturbed. The flesh and blood tissues were also pulled back into his body, pieced together and restored bit by bit, and the dull eyes gradually settled down.

The people in the carriage "lived" one by one, and sat quietly as if nothing had happened.

It's just that the expression on his face is inexplicably more friendly and gentle.

Including that first split, big-bodied man.

Lin Bo and the others turned surprised, and looked at Xiao Xiao in disbelief: "All the malice has subsided..."

"How did you manage to be so precise about the malice of the aborigines?"

"..."

From the perspective of a foreigner, this is indeed incredible...

Xiao Xiao thought silently in his heart: After foreigners have caused great damage to the aborigines or the surrounding environment, the city will often carry out a certain degree of self-repair. The destroyed buildings will first turn into flesh and blood, and then Automatic recovery, the aborigines who were killed will also go through the process from death to resurrection, returning to their original life track without knowing anything.

However, with this repair, uncertainty often arises.

That is to say, knowing that this kind of repairing phenomenon will appear, but not knowing to what extent it will be repaired.

Some of the dead foreigners will also be resurrected, but some people are dead after death and cannot be resurrected. Of course, from the perspective of the aborigines, these dead foreigners often have other causes of death, rather than being killed by foreigners. people killed.

Only the will of the city will deduct points from foreigners at this time.

This was what Lin Bo was worried about just now. He didn't know that all the people in this carriage would be resurrected.

So he felt that Xiao Xiao's behavior was unreasonable, and he was deeply frightened.

But Xiao Xiao knows.

Killing the people in this carriage was originally a part of self-validation.

Because there are no bullets in the gun.

Therefore, the behavior of killing that man, and even killing everyone in the car, only happened on the spiritual level, and after all the aborigines were killed, this shared illusion was painted. At a full stop, the influence of their spiritual power as a foreigner began to withdraw from their brains, so they began to resurrect and repair themselves.

In the real reality, they were not injured in the first place, only their cognition and spiritual world were injured.

After the self-healing begins, this disturbed memory will disappear, and they will automatically return to the moment before the dispute.

The reason for the disappearance of the memory is probably: that memory was polluted by the power of the "matrix"?

The reality excludes this period of polluted power, so they can automatically repair.

In essence, this is related to the first aborigine he killed, that is, Jiang Cheng at the class reunion.

It's a truth.

...

...

After mastering this principle, Xiao Xiao knew that after all these people were killed, they would definitely be resurrected.

As for why Lin Bo and the others were unable to judge this point, it was because they were always in the world of foreigners, so they couldn't tell whether there were bullets in Xiao Xiao's gun at the real level. With bullets, the person killed by Xiao Xiao just now cannot be resurrected, and things will indeed develop in the direction they are most worried about...

Foreigners live in a chaotic world, and it is impossible to judge whether there are bullets in their guns at a realistic level, whether they are really offensive weapons in their hands, or whether they are saving someone or not. kill a person.

Strangers are a bunch of chaotic lunatics! !

"so……"

Xiao Xiao's expression was very stable at this time, so stable that it made Lin Bo feel scared.

Not to mention Xiao Si, who had already started to tremble.

But in his heart, Xiao Xiao felt a cognitive shock, as if his heart was convulsing.

"...the real world exists."

This is the first time Xiao Xiao has learned a clear theory of the aborigines through verification:

"The power of the matrix is ​​the power of fantasy."

"And the power of this fantasy is essentially to cover people's spiritual world."

"Our behavior and consciousness can exert layers of influence on the real world. The first layer of influence is that I killed a person with a gun. In reality, I have no bullets in my gun, but in reality influenced by spiritual power, There are bullets in the gun, and it does kill a person in reality. This is the first layer of overlay on top of reality, and similar overlays can be added layer by layer.”

"When the influence of this kind of spiritual power reaches the extreme, it will be the world of foreigners."

"The strangers are really just lunatics, but are they a group of lunatics who can cover reality with spiritual power?"

"But, is it really the final explanation?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao was a little unbelievable for a moment, he had just verified some theories of the aborigines, which had complete logic.

However, when he thought that believing in this kind of logic was equivalent to overthrowing all the logic of a foreigner, he felt unacceptable. He seemed to be in the gap between day and night. In the unfathomable night, there are endless mysterious and weird things, staring at me and laughing, as if laughing at my ignorance...

...

...

Seeing Xiao Xiao fell into silence, Lin Bo and the others also had their hearts pounding nervously, not daring to take a breath.

Although they saw that everyone in the carriage was resurrected, the appearance of Xiao Xiao's face not changing, and suddenly killing everyone in the carriage was still deeply imprinted in their hearts. overhead, lingering.

"Because I find it troublesome, I will kill all the people in the car and wait for them to revive..."

Looking at each other, they could see the deep fear in each other's eyes: "Isn't he afraid that some of them will not be resurrected?"

"...Or, don't you care at all?"

"..."

Foreigners often have a deep sense of alienation from the world of the aborigines, but most of them are admonishing themselves to learn to find warmth and safety in the world of the aborigines. Fate, the feeling of indifference, even as foreigners, they also feel a deep horror, and a lingering sense of horror...

"team leader……"

Even his own subordinates lowered their voices, and exchanged opinions with Lin Bo quietly: "You gave out the information about the unextinguishable heart hidden in Yedi City for free, and you are willing to lead him to search for it, just for the sake of Xiao Xiao. Take revenge on Night City, right?"

Lin Bo nodded blankly.

The man in the plaid shirt finally couldn't help it anymore: "But you think that leading such a guy to Night City..."

"... Isn't this revenge too much?"

"..."

Lin Bo pondered for a long time before he said in a low voice: "I originally thought of Nightbote City, so as to provoke their relationship, lest they really make a deal, but now I... I have changed my mind Well, after we arrive at Night City, we have to persuade those miserly people to complete the deal as soon as possible, and don't make a big fuss that can't be closed..."

...

...

Xiao Xiao didn't know what Lin Bo and the others were thinking, but he began to confirm his conjecture through this journey.

Lin Bo and others already felt that Xiao Xiao, who was out of the city for the first time, did not feel the strong panic and anxiety like other foreigners. The source of the mystery, and seeing many unknowns and distortions, often creates strong psychological pressure, revealing his weak and timid side.

But Xiao Xiao not only behaved abnormally calmly, but even climbed to a level of madness.

In the following journey, Xiao Xiao really broke his cognition step by step. Facing the huge mystery outside the city, Xiao Xiao was extremely calm. When rushing towards people like yourself, look aside coldly, keep calm, let the other party retreat in the face of difficulties, and you can also face the intricate routes and find the key at a glance.

Compared with him, the few people in Dante's organization who have rich experience in going out are like children.

"Is this what it feels like to go out with a mental patient?"

In Xiao Xiao's eyes, it is also difficult to describe the feeling of taking these people to transfer and face other things.

They are afraid of many things in the real world. Even if a balloon suddenly explodes around them, or someone jumps in the queue, they will feel nervous and panic. will be taken aback.

It's like taking a few kids with you.

Of course, in the eyes of these children, they seemed to be omnipotent.

It's just that it's an extremely heavy burden for me to maintain this state of being at the limit of the insight's ability all the time.

Therefore, apart from taking a few glances occasionally, he can only return to the state of a foreigner.

He watched the train passing between the mysterious sea of ​​mist and the huge flesh and blood tissue, and watched as the train approached the end, a huge and incomparable flesh and blood appeared in front of his eyes, and as the train quickly approached the flesh and blood, until Entering it, the flesh and blood tissue in front of him also began to change rapidly, bit by bit, gathered and reorganized, and outlined the appearance of a city.

"Night Bottom City has arrived..."

Xiao Xiao stood at the exit of the train, watching the endless bloody tentacles hanging down from the sky.

They seemed to be completely invisible in the sight of the aborigines, but they hung down from the sky of the city, one by one, connected to the aborigines who got off the train, and then disappeared, the aborigines, temporarily became part of it.

Xiao Xiao also let the red tentacles connect to himself, and there was a bang in his mind.

[Name: Night City]

[Level: Median Lifeform]

[Remarks: It only has part of the power to steal, and it only dares to hide in the deepest part of the night, dreaming some greedy but extravagant dreams. When the stars return to their original positions, such a dirty and low life is only worthy of being a superior food for life

【…】

"Um?"

The sudden information made Xiao Xiao suddenly raise his head and look at the city located in the deepest part of the night.

A strange idea came into my heart: this city doesn't seem to welcome my arrival, but it can only accept it.

It is afraid of itself!

This unprecedented experience made Xiao Xiao feel a little surprised.

"Feel the city's fear of you?"

At this time, it was Lin Bo who was behind him, suddenly smiled and spoke, walked forward a few steps, and looked at the city in front of him side by side.

Xiao Xiao nodded, and was a little surprised at the same time: "Why is it afraid of me?"

"It's not you that it's afraid of."

Lin Bo whispered: "It's Heimen City behind you. You are the lord of Heimen City, that is, the highest authority envoy walking in this world on behalf of Heimen City. There are different scales and differences between cities. Rank, compared to a high-ranking city like Black Gate City, Night Bottom City is just a weak life form, not much stronger than those mysterious sources of chaos in the sea of ​​mist."

"The night bottom city feels the breath of the black gate city from you, and of course it will have instinctive fear."

"This kind of fear will be your advantage when operating in Night City."

"..."

He explained in a low voice, patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "Of course, don't be too arrogant."

"After all, it belongs to a high-ranking existence. Once it is provoked, it can still swallow you directly or erase you."

"..."

Xiao Xiao frowned and said, "To be specific, what should I do?"

Lin Bo thought for a while, and said, "Be a little more arrogant, but don't be too arrogant?"
