Sea King's Self-cultivation

The scene returns to Xingxing.

Just after Shuichi Fukada told Xingxing to go with him, Doge in his mind sounded an alarm: 【Xingxing!Shuichi Fukada's calculation program has been invaded by a virus, it is not surprising that he does anything now, don't believe what he said!He will kill you! 】

Xingxing's mind was in chaos: "What does it mean to be invaded by a virus? Also, why did Fukada Shuichi say to take me to see my brother? I don't have the setting of 'brother' in the game, and he is even more impossible as a game character." Know my brother in reality! And I dreamed that he wanted to kill me, so what happened? This is—”

[It's unclear exactly what happened! 】Doge's tone was sharp,【But the system detected that the most important lines of Shuichi Fukada's code had been tampered with!That's probably why he's having problems! 】

This explains the same as not explaining it!

Xingxing was still dumbfounded.

She looked at Shuichi Fukada vigilantly: "Don't come here! What's the purpose of you breaking into my room in the middle of the night?! Also, what are you talking about taking me to see my brother? I don't have any elder brother!"

Fukada Shuichi sighed softly, and spoke earnestly: "Now that things have come to an end, if you don't tell the truth, you may not be able to win your trust anymore. Xingxing, you have been in the game for so long, don't you think there is nothing wrong with it?"

Xing Xing was almost stunned by his last words: "What did you say?! What did you say just now? 'Game'?! How do you know... Aren't you a game character!"

How could a character in the game know that he is a system NPC generated by a program!

Shuichi Fukada's expression remained unchanged: "It's a 'game'. Don't be too surprised, I know I'm just a game character."

Xingxing: "?!?!?!"

"But from another point of view, I am not a game character." Shuichi Fukada added, "or rather, not just a game character."

Doge whispered solemnly: "The rewriting of these few lines of code can actually achieve this effect..."

Shuichi Fukada said: "Xingxing, in your memory, how many days have you been since you entered the game?"

Xingxing thought about it carefully: "Less than half a month..."

Shuichi Fukada took a deep look at her: "Then do you know how long has passed in the real world?"

Xingxing didn't speak. When she entered the game, it was the holiday after graduating from high school, half a month. If the game time is synchronized with the real time, then half a month should have passed in the real world.

"I guess you must be thinking 'If the game time is synchronized with the real time, then half a month has passed in the real world', right?" Shuichi Fukada said, "You guessed right, the time in the game world is indeed the same as in the real world Synchronized, but in fact, the real world has passed two months."

Xingxing was startled.

Since the flow of time is synchronized, she only spent half a month in the game world, but two months in the real world, doesn't that mean——

"Your memory is wrong." Shuichi Fukada said in a deep voice, "Xingxing, in your memory, the third dungeon and the second dungeon were fused on the night of October [-]th, this is the week you traveled in But haven’t you found it strange since you boarded the ship? Akashi Seijuro is a character in the first dungeon, and Atobe Keigo is a character in the fourth dungeon, not to mention other dungeon characters you haven’t seen or haven’t thought of yet ...Why are there so many characters who do not belong to the second and third dungeons appear in this fusion world at the same time? Counting this time, Xing Xing, this is actually the fifth week of your reloading. "

"...the fifth week?" Xingxing repeated the word and muttered, "But why do I have no memory at all?"

"Isn't that how the game is?" Fukada Shuichi said lightly, "Reloading the file means overwriting the timeline that has already passed. Except that the timeline before October [-]th has not been tampered with, every time you load the file after that Do it again, and your memory of this week’s game will overwrite the memory of last week’s game. In other words, as long as you load and start again, your memory of last week’s game will be cleared.”

Fukada Shuichi raised his finger: "One week, the third copy of "Gangster Storm" is a separate volume; second week, the third copy of "Gangster Storm" and the first copy of "Generation of Miracles" are merged; third week, the third copy The fusion of "Gangster" and the fourth copy "The Prince of Tennis"; the fusion of the fourth copy, the third copy "The Gangster" and the fifth copy "Blood Race"; the fifth week—that is, the third copy "The Gangster" Merged with the second copy of "Who is Undercover"."

Xingxing was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information, her whole body was in a bad mood, she wanted to ask too many questions, and for a while she didn't know which one to ask first: "But... in the end...why did you 'reload the file'? In this week, I didn't feel any signs of sudden file loading!"

"It's very simple." Fukada Shuichi said calmly, "'Love unswerving until death'--as long as this task is completed, the function of loading and restarting will be triggered."

But, but the system clearly said - "unswerving love until death", as long as you complete this task, you can go home!How could it be "reloading and restarting"?Then this is, isn’t it——

"A scam." Fukada Shuichi almost simultaneously pointed out what she was thinking, "'Unswerving love until death'? You can go home after completing this task?" He smiled softly, with a bit of sarcasm hidden in it, "This happens to be the biggest lie of the system. In fact, there is only one way to leave the game world, and that is to die. Only when you 'die' in the game can you really return to reality. If you really believe what the system said To complete the main task 'Unfailing Love', the end result is just reloading the file again and again, losing memory again and again, and then being trapped in the game forever."

These few words set off a shocking wave in her heart, Xingxing said slowly: "Then let me put it this way... the memory I dreamed is really correct. In the past few weeks, it was really you who have been chasing and killing me, and The purpose... is to bring me back to reality?"

"Yes."

Fukada Shuichi said solemnly: "There is almost no time, Xingxing. Your brother and him may decide the outcome at any time. If he wins in the end, and I don't bring you back to reality before then, you may die." Will stay in this world forever, never return to reality!"

[Stupid Xingxing!What nonsense are you talking to him about!Don't really believe what he says! 】Doge is going crazy,【Completing the main mission is the only way to get out of the world!If you die in the game, you are really dead!Shuichi Fukada's program has been tampered with, he is using these words to trick you into voluntarily dying with him!I won't lie to your Xingxing! 】Doge's tone was serious and anxious, 【I really won't lie to your Xingxing! 】

Xingxing was in a mess.

Could Shuichi Fukada be telling lies?Such ridiculous words...

But it was because it was so absurd, so absurd that it was untrue as a deceit, but it formed its own logic secretly, which made her feel a little shaken in her heart.

But... what if what Doge said was true?

What if, as Doge said, Shuichi Fukada wanted to trick her into voluntarily dying by saying that "the system is lying and completing the main mission can't return to reality, only death can return to reality"?

So according to what Doge said, death cannot return to reality, and there is no chance of death and resurrection in the game. If you die... then you are really dead!

Which side to believe?

Which side to believe?

Xingxing's heart was shaken violently. Shuichi Fukada's words and Doge's words were like opposing parties in a tug-of-war. In her mind, she kept pulling the rope called trust, hoping that her position would be biased toward where they were. party.

After a while, Shuichi Fukada closed his eyes and sighed: "It seems that you still don't quite believe me."

"If you want me to believe, at least you have to show evidence." Xingxing bit her lip, "You don't have any evidence, and you want me to die with just a few words, isn't it too easy and simple?"

"Of course there is evidence." Fukada Shuichi said lightly, "Xing, the plot you experienced after entering the game is continuous with the plot outside the game. You should remember what happened at the last plot point before you entered the game, right? ?”

"I remember. But...why bring this up all of a sudden?"

"because--"

On the other hand, the situation has reached a stalemate.

Among those still standing in the control room, besides Kazuki Shimizu and Osamu Dazai, there was another young man.

No, to be precise, he has been here since Kazuki Shimizu entered.

A young man with orange hair in a black suit came out of the darkness.

Kazuki Shimizu was not surprised, his eyes could even be called calm: "You guessed that I will act tonight."

The young man in black said lightly: "Yes."

"The robots at the door were also killed by the Central Plains."

"Yes."

"So I thought, 'The key' must be in his hands now."

"Yes." Osamu Dazai tilted his head, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No more." Kazuki Shimizu even smiled slightly on his usual indifferent face, "Dazai-kun, it is undeniable that you are really a formidable opponent. You took the upper hand at the beginning, and after the two-month long battle The tug-of-war once made me feel very tricky. Only this time, I'm afraid you will miscalculate."

As soon as the voice fell, the orange-haired young man in a black coat, who was supposed to be the last line of defense for the leader of the gang, and Chuya Nakahara, who was the least likely to betray the leader of the gang, walked towards Kazuki Shimizu's position.

The meaning is already obvious.

Osamu Dazai leaned on the seat, still smiling: "Are you trying to show that you have a way to instigate Chuya?"

"Instigating rebellion is a fact, but I did not betray." Zhongyuan Zhong also looked directly at him, his eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "After the death of Chief Mori, that guy Dazai took over the position of the leader of □□. The interests of □□ are above all else , although I hate that mackerel very much, on the day of the leader change ceremony, I still swore to be loyal to the leader forever."

"So that's how you pledge your allegiance?"

The young man in black smiled.

"Yes. As I said, I will always be loyal to Osamu Dazai, the leader of the Communist Party, but the problem is—" the orange-haired youth said word by word—

"Are you really Osamu Dazai?"

"So, what exactly is the conclusive evidence you're talking about?"

Xingxing asked with a frown.

"The body." Shuichi Fukada whispered, "while investigating a series of unexplainable things, the FBI found a body. The body was well preserved and not decomposed, but it was strange that he had a The face of the current leader, Osamu Dazai! After comparing DNA, pupils, fingerprints and other aspects, this body is indeed Osamu Dazai, who took over the position of the former leader Mori Ogai a few years ago and became the new leader."

"Don't you find it strange?"

"Okay Dazai committed suicide by jumping off a building outside the game. But when you entered the game, he died and came back to life strangely. There was no turmoil inside the Port Mafia, no one was ready to move because of the death of the leader, and no one Frightened by the resurrection of the leader, and no one is looking for why he died, and why he was revived strangely, it’s almost as if Osamu Dazai had never died. All of this doesn’t make sense logically, does it?”

"But what if we think so?"

"If the real leader of the Communist Party, Osamu Dazai, is indeed dead. Just after his death, a guy who looks exactly like him, even in DNA, took his place. Before the news of his death spread Returned to the Communist Party as if nothing had happened. That’s why everything went on as usual, no one asked why he died, and no one wondered why he died and came back to life, because in the eyes of the Communist Party members, their leader has never died.”

"Then does everything make sense?"
