Escape and customs clearance depends on acting [Infinite Stream]

So pretending to be calm, He Taiai said with a determined face: "I don't think it's necessary to ask."

Yu Youtang was a little confused when he heard this.

He Taiai: "He hates humans so much, he won't tell us."

Yu Youtang didn't seem to care much: "It's enough to beat him up." His attitude seemed very natural, as if he had encountered many disobedient ghosts before, but he beat them all up to be honest.

He Taiai: "..."

He Taiai knew that at this time, he should say some credible and logical suggestions to convince Yu Youtang.With a rational, objective and neutral attitude, he analyzed the problem step by step, slowly weighed the pros and cons, and thus came to the conclusion that "going downstairs to find the uncle is nothing but harm"—but in a hurry, the more he thought, the more he thought The more complicated and intertwined, the more chaotic.

During this moment of silence, He Taiai did think of several sets of rhetoric in his mind, but every time he was about to say it in a hurry, he himself first discovered the major flaw in it.

— No, none of these terms can be used.As long as the other party asks a little back, he can't answer, and he can even imagine what questions Yu Youtang will ask.Such a scene, just imagining it, makes people feel terrible.

How to do?

Under Yu Youtang's gaze, He Taiai realized that he had been silent for too long - he should start to say something again, but he hadn't even thought of a shadow of the persuasion that should be flawless, how could he say it?

After hesitating for a while, He Taiai threw out meaningless nonsense interrogative sentences in a coping manner, purely to delay time: "What if he doesn't say anything after a beating?"

Yu Youtang: "Beat first, then we'll talk."

"..." He Taiai suddenly said solemnly, "Actually, I don't want you to go."

Yes, he racked his brains and couldn't think of a rational reason to dissuade the other party.

Just at the moment when he was there, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in He Taiai's mind.

Why don't you think about it in a different way, why do you have to die on one road to the end?

Since the purely "rational card" cannot be played, why not play the "emotional card" instead?

"What the hell is this game, why does this game exist? What about players and ghosts, why are there players, and how are ghosts formed? The purpose of these dungeon missions one after another is to What, what does it want to do to everyone?"

"When I took turns speaking in the restaurant before, I asked this kind of question, right?" He Taiai said slowly while thinking quickly, "When I entered this game, I vaguely felt that it was very strange. .Until now, this feeling has become more and more obvious, don't you think this game is very much like 'breeding Gu'?"

"Before I say my opinion, let me ask you a question." Mrs. He paused, and continued, "Yu Youtang, you really, really hate ghosts, don't you?"

Yu Youtang was slightly taken aback, and he replied, "Yes."

He Taiai: "Why do you hate ghosts so much?"

Yu Youtang was silent for a long while before saying with a sullen face, "They should all die."

"In reality—" He Taiai said, "I mean, outside of this game, in the world of our daily life, ghosts have always existed, but ordinary people, such as me, can't see them. That's all. But you are special, you are special, you can see them. I joked in the last copy and asked you if you were a ghost hunter. You didn't answer me at that time, and our subsequent conversation seemed to be joking, but You are indeed a ghost hunter, you are in school, sometimes you don’t come to class, you go to catch ghosts, right?”

He Taiai further cautiously probed: "Why did you become a ghost hunter?"

After he asked this question, he found that Yu Youtang's expression suddenly changed.

Many people don't like to "communicate in shallow words".Everyone has their own "interpersonal communication" safety boundaries, and Yu Youtang is obviously the type who doesn't like to get too close to other people.As for him and Yu Youtang, even after two rounds of game dungeons, the relationship has been shortened a lot, but it is far from the point where they can talk deeply.

——And right now, he obviously took one step beyond the opponent's "safety boundary" so much that it made people feel uncomfortable.

This kind of discomfort is likely to turn into resentment if you are not careful.

Seeing that the situation was not good, He Taiai immediately retracted the "steps" she had taken too much.He used a new round of "stepping back" questions to cover up the previous round of "too close" questions: "In reality, you have come into contact with ghosts, they are very bad, and even hurt people you know, Your friends, even your relatives...is that so?"

Yu Youtang didn't speak, but compared to being asked the question "why do you catch ghosts", his tense expression eased a lot.

He Taiai pondered for a while, and continued: "I don't know what ghosts look like in reality, because I don't know, so I can't comment. But for the dungeon, what I want to talk about is that their behavior - very weird .”

"It should be that the whole game is weird. Do you feel it?"

"The player is fighting against ghosts, and the player must be chased by the ghosts—you are special, I mean most of the players—keep fleeing. Those who are not capable enough will be killed by ghosts. The task given to the player by the system , in fact, to sum it up, it is 'survival'."

"What about these ghosts? Players can receive 'system tasks', will there be ghosts? You will wonder why I have such an idea, right? Because I met everyone in the first copy Before, I met a ghost, and the other party kept yelling that killing me would complete the task."

——Of course, this matter is completely fabricated and does not exist at all.The fabricated "fictional character" is just a vehicle to express his point of view.

"What do 'ghosts' look like in reality? I don't know. However, in the ghost stories I've heard since childhood, they all eat people or eat people's souls. But the ghosts in this game system, I see them Killing the player is just to kill the player, there is no other action, just like the ghost I met shouted, they are purely to complete the task."

"'Ghosts' are what people become after death, right? I'm just wondering, aren't 'ghosts' all bad ghosts? People are divided into good and bad, so shouldn't people become ghosts after death? Shouldn't they also be classified as 'good' Ghosts' and 'bad ghosts'?"

"You know what this game feels like to me? I feel like everyone is playing a 'board game'. In fact, everyone is a 'human', but they are divided into different camps, and some of them become 'players'. Part of it has become a 'ghost'. The command given by the player is 'survive', and the system command given by the ghost may be 'kill the player'."

When He Taiai spoke up to this point, he couldn't continue.

He felt that he had talked too much, and his intention to express his final point was too obvious—it was not a problem to express his point of view, but the key point was that his entire statement logic chain was problematic.

The beginning of the alarmist speech, the tough, jerky and unreasonable middle turning point, the forced summary with too much personal feelings and opinions, after careful scrutiny, "from cause to effect" is completely nonsense, and there are too many reasoning faults in the middle——

If you sort out the whole thing according to normal player logic, it is impossible to draw his conclusion.

After He Taiai finished speaking this long paragraph, he felt that he had spoken poorly.

Yu Youtang looked at He Taiai: "As expected, you are still very concerned that you accidentally killed that ghost in the basement?"

He Taiai: "...I care, but this is not the ultimate reason."

He knew it.

From Yu Youtang's point of view, he is regarded as "the holy father with strange brain circuits" again, right?

Yu Youtang nodded slightly: "You don't have to think too much. Ghosts are ghosts, you have to remember that no one who becomes a ghost is a good person, and a good person will not become a ghost."
