David Celan's hallucinogenic drugs have been successful in a sense.

Therefore, the reason why David Celan did not hesitate to escape from prison and enter the "vision" also makes sense.

"The reason why David Celan can predict the vision has also been found." Xie Huating said, "In this 'chosen' world, there is also David Celan, who has also tested drugs, and the people who tested drugs The death of ten drug testers appeared, although they concealed their identities to some extent, for example, Olga Celan disguised as Olga Thetos, but David still found that these ten people 'resurrected from the dead', thus Deduced the real use of hallucinogenic drugs. Immediately afterwards, he himself used hallucinogenic drugs and discovered the 'vision' that the hospital is about to usher in."

"He came to observe our group of people who should have died." Jie Nuo nodded, "It's like watching a mouse."

Xuelu suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Then, how do you explain the current vision in the hospital? Ten drug testers carefully selected a new world, isn't it still entering the 'end of the world'?"

He subconsciously looked at Huo Lvxing, and Huo Lvxing was also looking at him expressionlessly. When his eyes met, he softened his eyebrows and gave him an encouraging smile.

"How do you define the end of the world?"

"That is, human beings are destroyed, the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation, and so on..."

"What phenomenon will cause the end of the world you are talking about?"

Xuelu thought for a while: "As those people said, meteorites hit the earth, extinct volcanoes erupt, etc..."

He opened his mouth suddenly, surprise burst into his eyes - he understood.

The reason why the ten drug testers stumbled was found.

As Huo Lvxing reminded him: How to define the end of the world?

They can't search endlessly. Drug testers become high-dimensional organisms because of the effects of drugs, and the effects of drugs may fail at any time. They must race against time to search for a suitable parallel world before the arrival of death.Therefore, when searching, they will observe each world, whether humans have lived for a long time, whether major natural disasters have occurred...

Then lock the present world.

Except for the hospital, an "isolated island" separated by time and space, the world is indeed peaceful and tranquil.

Only the hospital fell into the turbulence of time and space for some reason, and everything around it fell into the chaotic time and turned into mud.

From the overall timeline of the entire world, there is no meteorite, no tsunami, and nothing wrong. Grant Celan Hospital just experienced a sudden rainstorm and a typhoon diversion.

——The ten drug testers are in a life-and-death crisis, a parallel world hastily chosen, wrapped in a huge and complicated timeline, no one can notice, and it is impossible to predict that this worldline extends again A "trivial variation" came out.

And David Celan in this world has enough time and medicine, so he can accurately discover the future "end of the world".

What a small probability event.

"So..." Xuelu came to a conclusion, "If we want to get rid of the dungeon, we may need to find David Celan's 'medicine'."

What he didn't say is that he still has some more absurd and more illogical things that need to be proved-for example, in this perfect parallel world that should be peaceful, why is it that only the hospital has a "split of time and space"?

The NPCs split up to find David Celan's hallucinogenic drug.

The hallucinogenic drugs were the brainchild of David Celan, and they could still be used after being arrested, which shows that he kept some behind him and hid some.

Xuelu immediately thought of the basement of the dean's office.

This time, he brought the more meticulous and cautious Xie Huating along, and the three of them explored together.

Sure enough, at the end of the folding bed, in the "garbage dump" of dirty woven bags, a sealed brown glass bottle was found. After opening, there were more than [-] pills in vacuum packaging.

According to the description in the notebook, this is David Celan's treasure, the hallucinogenic drug named "Recorder".

He returned to the Department of Gastroenterology with the medicine, but the others hadn't searched for it yet.

As the main solver of the puzzle, Xuelu was very excited.This is the first dungeon that requires brains to solve puzzles encountered after becoming a regular. He felt that he completed it well, and it was under the condition that Xie Huating hardly gave any hints.

Seeing the child's suppressed elation, Xie Huating smiled: "You did a great job. This time, thanks to your sensitivity to the plot from the beginning, you collected a lot of evidence first. And the reasoning is also very smooth , clear, there are some small points I did not expect."

This is a very high evaluation, and Xuelu couldn't help laughing: "Brother Huating, my good teacher, you can just keep praising me. Praise me so high that I won't be able to turn my head after a while. I have to rely entirely on you, and I can be lazy."

Xie Huating laughed and couldn't help pinching his ears: "It's really going to make a mess."

Huo Lvxing's scorching gaze hit the point of contact between the two of them fiercely, but Xie Huating didn't hold back, instead he went to touch Xuelu's soft curly hair.

...Damn it, this man!

That hand was an eyesore, Huo Lvxing wished he could cut it off.

If you can't do it, Xuelu will be angry.

He clenched his fists hard, the pain in his palm made him sober, and then he began to reflect on himself: How could he have such an idea?Xie Huating did nothing wrong, he is a good employee who is upright, honest and conscientious. In the past, when he met a talent like him, he always admired him and was happy to get along with him.If the other party is really good, he will even throw out an olive branch and recruit outstanding talents to his command to work for the monitoring team.

But now...

After calming down for a long time, he saw that the two were sticky, relaxed and warm together, but he still had only one thought: cut off those stinky hands!

calm down……

Huo Lvxing coughed suddenly, interrupting the warm exchange between the master and the apprentice: "You haven't said what you're using this medicine for."

This is exactly what Xuelu didn't make clear and wanted to explore.

Xuelu straightened her sitting posture, and said seriously: "I want to determine how this 'chaotic space-time' was created. It would be best if after taking this medicine, I can travel to a parallel world and clear the level. If not, I need to verify it. Second thoughts."

Xie Huating also looked serious: "The second thought?"

"You see, the time and space outside the hospital are chaotic, which can no longer be summarized by 'one timeline'. Therefore, as I said before, the timeline we are in now is carefully selected by the drug testers. A branch mutated and split from the world line."

"You want... to return to the main world line?"

"Generally speaking, yes." Xuelu nodded, "But due to the chaotic space-time of the outside world, hallucinogenic drugs cannot allow us to travel through the chaotic space-time, so we have to find other means."

Xie Huating was speechless: "This thought... I hope it's just overthinking."

"I also hope," Xuelu smiled bitterly, "At present, I still can't think of a chaotic timeline that even 'high-dimensional creatures' can't travel through. How can low-dimensional creatures break the situation."

Immediately, he cheered himself up again, and smiled beautifully: "But, I vaguely have a little idea. If one road is blocked, just change to another one. Anyway... If the puzzle NPCs can't solve it, the players can't solve it." There is a high probability that it will not be cracked. We will wait for a few more days, and when the players are all sleepy, we can settle it out."

But that is the most labor-intensive and tortured way of settlement - killing people based on work is necessary, but watching people starve to death is very tortured and cruel, as the opposite but powerless, if it is not necessary, no one wants to try.

The NPCs who were out have returned with more information.

Jie Nuo smiled and said: "We must be faster than the players to solve it, you don't know where they are wrong..."

"How are they?"

Players temporarily formed a whole coalition, Jeno said.

A third went to investigate the church, and a third investigated every corner of the hospital, looking for clues.There are still one-third of the people who are actually exploring "barren".

Xuelu's expression froze: "Explore the barrenness? How far have you explored?"

"It was quite lively when we came here," Matilda interjected, "a few light and strong people are not afraid of death, and drove outwards in a prop car. The quality of the prop A grade is good, and it lasted for more than 5 minutes Melted, three players died at once. Try to go to the desert by various tricks."

She said that other players had received the message before death, and could not accept the "melting" thing, and were discussing whether there were illusions or monsters.

But the desolation is not a forbidden area, but a map with possible clues, which has been exposed.

"Sooner or later, they will discover that the 'melting' is caused by the chaos of time and space." Xuelu looked solemn, "The process is faster than expected... That's right, those who survived the 7-day camp battle are the elite among the elite. "

What did he think of, and asked again: "What about the third camp? They have been collecting clues since the beginning of the dungeon, and the progress should be very fast, right?"

"The players outside didn't see the third faction, so they were probably in a meeting or watching from the sidelines," Matilda said, "I remember that the precognitive dream of the recorder came from the third faction, is that player still alive? "

If Matilda doesn't mention it, Xuelu will also talk about it.

"Just now I asked Jie Nuo to find him. Besides confirming some clues, I also want him to test the medicine... Ah, here we come."

Coincidentally, while speaking, Jie Nuo came in carrying Yang Qi like an eagle catching a chick.

The burly male nurse hadn't taken off his nurse's uniform yet, and raised his hand mercilessly and threw Yang Qi over, like throwing a sack.

The latter's face was full of resentment. After seeing the number of NPCs in the room, his face changed at the speed of light, and he was full of flattering smiles.

...This is really the boss's lair, how can you mess with this group of people because you don't want to live?

The face of the feminine face is vicious and stern, and it is really hard for him to survive.

Xuelu coughed lightly, and briefly stated the purpose of arresting him.

He didn't deliberately conceal the information. After all, David Celan's medicines were all in his hands. Even if Yang Qi tore up the cooperation and ran away, he couldn't find another medicine.

Sure enough, Yang Qi is a person who is very good at judging the situation, so he took the medicine and swallowed it without saying a word.

The people in the room stared at him closely, not letting go of any reaction.

After a little more than 1 minute, the effect of the medicine took effect.

As if he had suddenly lost his breath, Yang Qi suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground. It took less than half a second from staring wide-eyed to losing consciousness.

Xie Huating carefully raised his eyelids, checked Yang Qi's other physical signs, and concluded: "No wonder David mistakenly thought that the person who tested the medicine was dead. He looks like a fresh corpse now."

If they hadn't deduced the reaction after taking the medicine, seeing this scene, normal people would think that it was a super poison that was "immediate death".

Xuelu pinched his watch and stared at Yang Qi's body with all his attention. After about 3 minutes, Yang Qi woke up.

He is like a drowning person who has just landed, sucking in the fresh air, not knowing what he experienced on his "high-dimensional creature" journey. When he calmed down and looked up at people, his eyes were particularly strange.

Surprised, stunned, and cold.

Like a wolf boy who just came out of the jungle, and like a sinner who has been out of society for more than ten years in a confinement room.

After just one second, Yang Qi blinked hard a few times as if he had realized the current situation, and let out a long breath.

"Oh my god..." Yang Qi shook his head impatiently, his word order was chaotic, "It's too scary, too... Believe me, no one wants to go through it again, I feel like I'm out of control, and all worldviews have collapsed, my God. "

Xuelu kindly patted him on the back: "I reminded you before going."

"Yes," Yang Qi smiled wryly, "I don't know what adjectives to use to describe this feeling...all the scariest and most ridiculous things in the world are less than one ten-thousandth of this."

Yang Qi waited for a few more minutes, under the impatient urging of other NPCs, he managed to organize his words and describe what happened after he took the medicine.

"At first, it was very dizzy," he gestured to his forehead, "and then dazzled, like the dizziness of a TV screen, the shape of seeing things becomes particularly distorted, and there are colorful hallucinations, and I think it should be, it should be The third eye was stimulated and started to work... Then the consciousness began to spread, getting rid of the physical body, and spreading to a very high place. I can clearly realize that I am still living in this body, and I can also see To my own fainting appearance, but I'm not here anymore, I'm above this world, I'm at any time."

"When I realized that I had successfully turned into a 'high-dimensional creature', I followed what you said and went to find other parallel worlds."

"I see time, like a long dirty and chaotic river, spreading from prehistory to the present, from primeval forests to hospitals. But it has no branches, only one, and I can't go to any time other than him - I start from this one If you leave in time, you can only enter this one.”

Xuelu interrupted him: "Are you sure there is no other timeline that you can enter? This is wrong, how can there be no other parallel worlds..."

"Yes, I am very clear that my method is right," Yang Qi said, "that long twisted river that is dirty and chaotic, upstream, the present past, I saw the hospitals with people coming and going in the suburban streets; downstream , is the present future, a hospital like an isolated island standing in the barrenness, slowly, time cruelly harvests vitality, people are starved to death, the buildings are weathered, but it has been standing in the barrenness, nothing else. Look When I got here, I was very scared, and I couldn't go to other timelines, so I hurried back."

What he said seemed to be true.

The crowd started to discuss, and Xuelu let go of the grind and killed the donkey: "Okay, the experiment is over, let's go."

Yang Qi actually wanted to stay, but he knew that he had no right to speak in front of the NPC, so he left wisely.And said that he was waiting in the corridor, calling him if necessary.

When Yang Qi's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, the NPCs exploded.

Yang Qi made it very clear: hallucinogenic drugs can indeed make people become high-dimensional creatures, and it is true that high-dimensional creatures can cross parallel worlds. It's not that the method is wrong, nor is the guess wrong, but...

The timeline they are in is simply not!No!parallel world!

Xuelu felt absurd for his bizarre deduction, but this high probability is the truth.

With a wry smile, he couldn't help but think of the book he saw in the dean's office.

"The World's Least Probable Event".

At that time, he and 551 also laughed at a sci-fi article in it. The author believed that the accidental explosion of a hydrogen bomb, the landing of a meteorite, the eruption of an extinct volcano, and the simultaneous occurrence of nuclear radiation leaks would lead to the end of the world. The End of the World.

Now it seems that this world where "hospitals are separated by chaotic time and space" is the real event with the smallest probability in the world.

What a problem.

There is no such thing as "the hospital is separated from the chaotic time and space" in another parallel world.

The ten drug testers were carefully selected, and in the end, they created a cage from which they could not escape.

Xuelu's point of view caused an uproar, but after thinking about it carefully, this is the only explanation.

Jie Nuo didn't believe in evil, and insisted that Yang Qi, that idiot player, didn't find a way. Since Yang Qi proved that the medicine was effective, Jie Nuo and Xiao En swallowed the medicine and tried it out.

But 10 minutes later, the two woke up in cold sweat frequently, and their faces were so heavy that they could drip water.

"What the player said is true!" Jie Nuo gritted his teeth, "This timeline is actually a straight line! Damn, this is too strange."

Sean also nodded: "It is indeed a straight line. Who knows the theory of time and space, why is it a straight line? This is unreasonable. How is it played in the movie? Every action of a person can evolve into a parallel world. How did it come to be?" Is this not enough?"

Xuelu was not proficient in this theory, so he subconsciously went to see Xie Huating, who fell into deep thought.

When Xie Huating was thinking, there was a small subconscious movement, he would play with the cuff of the other sleeve.Feeling Xuelu's gaze, he smiled wryly and shook his head.

But Huo Lvxing's deep voice sounded, like cello strings melodiously sliding out syllables, elegant and magnetic.

"There is only one reason for a straight line."

"only one?"

"This timeline is already 'dead'." Huo Lvxing said without emotion, "No matter how people save or restore it, it will not change the ending of the future, so there will no longer be a parallel world. "

He continued: "In higher dimensions, it's called 'annihilation.'"

Xuelu understood.

The world line chosen by the ten drug testers is a "doomed" unsolvable answer, with no hope and no way to save it. It spreads forward alone, like a pool of stagnant water that no longer has a tributary, heading towards Dead end flowed.

"Is there really nothing you can do?" Xuelu murmured, "Then there is only one ending for the players. The dungeon will end only when the resources are exhausted and the entire army is wiped out?"

Coming to this conclusion, the NPCs are actually not in a heavy mood, or even relaxed.

"That is to say, no matter how much trouble the players make, it is doomed to a dead end of 'No Survival'." Jie Nuo smiled, "That's a good thing, we don't have to work for the next few days, and we will be on vacation with pay." Just wait for the settlement!"

Sean and Jie Nuo seem to have a good personal relationship. After their tense nerves were relaxed, they went out with their arms around each other, thinking about where to spend their time.

"There is a lounge on the fourth floor, a pool table, and if I remember correctly, there are also poker and board games!" Jie Nuo suddenly retreated into the room, "You guys come to play too. Fight the Landlord!"

Matilda thought for a while, then showed a smile: "Okay, take me one."

As she said that, she looked at the others: "Come on, don't waste your energy thinking about it, it's doomed anyway...Even if the players think of a way to break the game, the hallucinogenic drugs are all here, so we can't make trouble."

Father Albert hesitated for a moment, and joined the three of them. He also invited Xie Huating, but Xie Huating saw Xuelu who was still writing and drawing on paper, and made a decision.

"You guys go first," Xie Huating shook his head with a smile, "We'll look for you after we finish these."

This was a polite refusal, and the four of them said hello and left without forcing it.

Seeing that Xuelu was unhappy, Xie Huating decided to go to the dean's office and archives to see if there were any missing clues.

There are only two people left in the gastroenterology department.

Xuelu was very irritable. He clearly followed the clues, figured out the logic, found the truth and key props, and finally found out that it was a dead end.

It seems that any joint is right, but the result is wrong.

"How can a mere B-level camp battle leave players with nowhere to go?" Xuelu couldn't understand, "After surviving for 7 days in the survival battle, there are only 100 players left out of 20 people, and the elimination rate of 80% is already very high Furthermore, the dungeon has not produced good props so far, and it is unbalanced in terms of income and investment."

This is also the point where Xuelu cannot accept the explanation of "dead end".

Even the NPCs who have a decisive advantage are unable to solve the mystery, which is too unfair to the players.

There will be no such puzzles on the nineteenth floor.The solution must exist, and it must meet the difficulty of a B-level dungeon.

Therefore, it is the wrong logic disk on your own disk.

After recognizing his mistakes, Xuelu felt much clearer. He looked at the collected clues one by one, trying to find out where the "wrong node" was.

David Celan, hallucinogenic drugs, drug man through time and space, these points are all right.

And they have been exploring in the direction of "time" because the players have survived for 7 days according to the prompts, but they have not entered the settlement.It was only after using the hallucinogenic drug that it was discovered that the effect of the drug had indeed taken effect, but the timeline of this world could not be jumped out... No matter how you look at it, it is doomed to a dead end.

"How to make time flow again...?" Xuelu sighed, writing and drawing randomly with the pen in his hand, "In the case of chaotic time, even if you travel to the future, you can't get rid of the chaotic time. Cure the root cause."

His thoughts were confused and he couldn't help but look at Huo Lvxing.The latter closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was working or thinking.

The kerosene lamp flickered, making a "crackling" burning sound, and the light swayed on Huo Lvxing's straight nose. At that moment, Xuelu felt that the person in front of him seemed far away from him.

This is the reason why Xuelu likes to look at Xie Huating and look for encouragement, but doesn't like to look for the wiser and stronger Huo Lvxing.

He always felt that the person whose eyes were facing each other was not a person, but a statue of a god.

Like the benevolent Avalokitesvara statue in the temple and the lifelong compassionate Madonna statue in the church, he is a cold, indifferent outsider who hangs high and overlooks the mayfly.

After a long time, Huo Lvxing's indifferent eyes trembled slightly, and met Xuelu's dazed gaze.Just now, he was in a meeting with the monitoring team, and he didn't notice Xuelu's abnormality.

But he softened his brows and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Ah... I want to ask you about the 'timeline'. Are you busy? Just forget it."

Huo Lvxing raised his hand to close the video window, and straightened his sitting posture: "I'm not busy, just ask."

As he spoke, he saw that the kerosene lamp was about to burn out, so he raised his hand to fill up the oil.The fuel was sufficient, and the flame expanded cheerfully. The red flame illuminated Huo Lvxing's face clearly and warmly.

Xuelu couldn't help but look up at Huo Lvxing's gentle and flawless face in the warm yellow firelight.

So handsome... Why is this kerosene lamp so red? It feels like a red candle warming the tent.

It must have been because the light was too dark just now. Looking at it this way, Huo Lvxing is gentle and deep, so handsome.

The same is true for those three-dimensional lips, which look cold and hard, but are actually very soft.

Xuelu's earlobe turned red suddenly. Fortunately, the candlelight was covering her, and she lowered her eyes in a panic: "I don't understand one thing. Since the drug tester can enter this timeline from another parallel world, it means that there are still many parallel worlds before. Yes, why can't you leave?"

Huo Lvxing sorted out his wording and explained: "Comparing time to a river, the upstream water can traverse the downstream, but the downstream cannot go back upstream. Back then, they had countless choices, but after they were in the middle of the choice, it was not necessarily There is still a choice.”

"If you want to break the situation in this way, you have to go back to the past, and then choose the corresponding future from the past. But... If you choose a peaceful world, there will be no copy of the hospital in the future, and the existence of the traverser will be obliterated .”

Xuelu froze for a moment: "Grandmother paradox?"

"Yes. If it is an NPC with an identity setting, this method will work, but the player is an outsider, so this will only make him obliterated in the chaotic time."

"So, the cracking method of going through the timeline is powerless?"

"you can say it this way."

Xuelu wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by 551's scream.

"Master, you, look at the system panel...someone has cleared the level!"

Xuelu subconsciously wanted to say it was impossible, but after opening the panel, she froze in place.

【Current surviving players】

19

【Currently Cleared Players】

Self-doubt reached its peak at this moment.

Half an hour ago, Xuelu looked at the panel to confirm the number of people. At that time, the number of surviving players was 25, and the number of passers-by was 0. It is understandable that five people died in just half an hour, because they were exploring the barrenness...but no hallucinogenic drugs were used , but some players have cleared the level?

Could it be that he has been analyzing and analyzing, and the path he is clinging to is fundamentally wrong?
