Human dimension reduction

Qiao Zhou never forgot that there was an unknown Shao Xinglan who came in with him.

No... It can't be said that the purpose is unclear. Shao Xinglan's purpose is simply too clear. All his actions from the beginning to the end are towards the same goal, to find out the connection between Qiao Zhou and the crazy doctor, and to tell Qiao Zhou that this black hole is dangerous. , indicating that he can bring someone who can protect him, and after appearing in the black hole, he inexplicably has a special identity and appearance. In the end, he was intercepted and killed by a small county town full of doubts. Meaning of dead end.

But this kind of persecution cleverly leaves room for it, and it is completely a tentative behavior.

If he really has nothing to do with the mad doctor, but is just an extremely ordinary person, then he can choose to stay under the protection of others, whether it is the Xie family or the Dingzhou army. In the two places, Shao Xinglan did not move at all.

Shao Xinglan's attention was only attracted when he was on the road alone, with an overly certain attitude of self-preservation revealed in his behavior.

Qiao Zhou could even imagine Shao Xinglan's mental activities.

——How dare an ordinary person run around in such a chaotic dungeon?What cards does he have?What is his reliance?Or—was there someone by his side to protect him?

The bracelet that Shao Xinglan delivered before entering the black hole must have other uses, but he couldn't figure it out for a short time, so he could only put it aside. Now it seems that the bracelet may have helped Shao Xinglan confirm his identity, "Xie Zhuo" from beginning to end This person was under Shao Xinglan's nose, but on the contrary, he knew nothing about Shao Xinglan's identity and where he was.

Heavenly start.

But it doesn't matter, he likes such challenging games.

If you want to see it, then let you see it, "Xie Zhuo" has always been the upright and proud Daxia Dan Qingling, willing to risk his life to restore the truth, and retains the purest innocence and stubbornness of the family.

Warm, honest, humble, peaceful, full of self-sacrifice.

There is no similarity with the Qiao Zhou that Shao Xinglan met.

Qiao Zhou, who is recorded in the half-foot-thick file, is gentle on the surface, but indifferent and alienated. He is an extreme egoist, an arrogant spectator, a monster disguised as a harmless human, and an observer who is outside the society. He is an imitator, and all the people he has come into contact with have given him high praise, but without exception, no one claims to be a good friend of Qiao Zhou, and they all stay at a certain distance tacitly. It seems that herbivores instinctively keep vigilance in the face of natural enemies.

And his sister gave a more straightforward evaluation in an old note: "Ah Zhou is a monster who doesn't understand people's hearts."

Xie Zhuo has the warmest heart in the world, he is a person who can lower himself into the dust to touch the pain of those civilians struggling in the mud.

Qiao Zhou and Xie Zhuo were two types of people who couldn't get along no matter what.

Obviously, "Xie Zhuo" risked his life and insisted on the truth, which was incompatible with Qiao Zhou's behavior, which confused Shao Xinglan for a long time, so that he began to wonder if he had found the wrong person, so until he left the capital, Shao Xinglan did not move, just Observe silently in the dark.

However, Qiao Zhou didn't expect this little trick to hide Shao Xinglan for long.

A wise man can fool for a while, but not for the rest of his life.

Even if it is discovered, it’s nothing. From Shao Xinglan’s point of view, Qiao Zhou probably thinks that he was accidentally separated from the team leader after entering the black hole, and somehow assumed the identity of an aborigine in the black hole. The options for normal people to face this situation are Try to disguise yourself, for fear of being found out that it is not the original product, by the way, put the hole card within reach and wait for help.

And it is enough for him to secretly design a few occasions where his hole cards are needed to save his life.

So Qiao Zhou played a "normal person" for him very cooperatively, a person who has sympathy and empathy, who will sympathize with the people who suffered in the war, and do his part for it, eager to be a The savior's ignorant ordinary people.

But I don't know what went wrong, but it seemed that Shao Xinglan gave up unnecessary doubts and stared at him firmly.

But even if it was found out as part of his plan, the overly perfectionist Qiao Zhou was still a little unhappy. What did he do wrong?Obviously he worked very hard to play Xie Zhuo?

Qiao Zhou occasionally reflected on his behavior in such a suspicious way, but no matter what, he couldn't find any flaws. It would be better to say that even if Xie Zhuo was alive, it was nothing more than that.

If Shao Xinglan heard this question, he would probably show an indescribable expression.

It just so happened that Qiao Zhou's performance was too perfect. Knowing that there was something wrong with "Xie Zhuo", everything normal became abnormal. How could ordinary people in such a difficult situation have such a good performance without showing timidity?

Ordinary people will be tempted by beauty, fame and fortune, and tortured by negative emotions such as pain and sadness. It is the nature of normal people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Even if they want to be a savior again, they will be frightened by suffering and hesitate. forward.

Therefore, it seemed that Qiao Zhou, who walked towards suffering without hesitation, was particularly eye-catching.

Qiao Zhou, who was persecuted by the occasional perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder inappropriately, put aside this question, obediently like a dead puppet, letting the front guard pull him down, thinking with great interest, he would not put Shao Xinglan released the "life-saving hole card" he had guessed, and he wanted to see how embarrassed Shao Xinglan would try to save him this time.

In fact, Qiao Zhou's guess was correct, and now it was Shao Xinglan's turn to ride the tiger.

It's true that he wanted to create a desperate situation for Qiao Zhou, but it didn't mean he wanted to kill an innocent civilian.

After all, he is a national civil servant, and a party member who has sworn an oath to the party flag. He wants to serve the people. Murder and breaking the law cannot be done even in a black hole.

Seeing the thin and sickly young man being dragged down, it was obvious that there was no means of escape. Shao Xinglan, who was standing at the end of the queue, sighed in frustration. It seemed that this operation had failed. The black hole had not been resolved, and Qiao Zhou had not been tested. The relationship with No. [-], a trip for nothing, and a waste of two precious items...

Thinking of this, Shao Xinglan reached into his sleeve, touched the smooth and cold side of the bracelet, and was about to hold it tightly when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He always believed in his intuition, quickly raised his eyes and glanced around calmly.

What is wrong?

The emperor's face was gloomy, and the expressions of the courtiers were different. They stared at the dying man outside and focused all their attention on him. Therefore, no one would pay attention to this insignificant official here.

The man who was dragged out and pressed on the torture bench was pressed down without any resistance. The light-colored green clothes were lying on the ground, half of his cheeks were covered by his hair, and his expression could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of well-proportioned and thin hands Buckled on the edge of the bench, as if calmly accepting his own fate of death.

Shao Xinglan narrowed his eyes suddenly.

Qiao Zhou, calmly accepted his own fate of death? !

Putting the subject of this sentence here turns the whole sentence into a sick sentence.

No matter who it is, it is impossible to immerse yourself in other people's life so easily, and give up your own life to die for it.

Xie Zhuo would die for this, but Qiao Zhou... absolutely impossible!

What is he thinking about?What are you waiting for?Did he think someone would come to his rescue?Or is there something—

Shao Xinglan's pupils shrank slightly.

Isn't there someone who will come to rescue him!I almost activated the escape device just now!

Did Qiao Zhou already know about his temptation?

If this is the case, then everything that Qiao Zhou has shown so far has become what the other party wants him to see.

It was the first time for Shao Xinglan to taste this kind of feeling of being reversed, and he was a little dazed for a while, but soon, he showed a sly smile, since you are so sure that someone will come to save you... then let me see, If I don't make a move all the time, will your knight stage a heroic rescue of the beauty?

It's just more patience, he still has some time.

Shao Xinglan tidied up his sleeves slowly, stood in a corner with a slight smile and stared at the torture that was about to begin outside the hall, and at the same time began to make a draft in his heart. If the number one really appeared, he would stand by the side and "do nothing to save him" He's about to be settled by Qiu Hou, so it's not okay to tear his face like this. He has to think of an excuse in advance, and if necessary, say it's a personal behavior. Cooperation!

He was thinking about No. [-] here, but Qiao Zhou, who was wild enough, planned to give him a big one.

The so-called mental patients have broad thinking, and the pattern needs to be opened!

What is number one, I will show you the birth of number x!

In a dimension invisible to human eyes, a black-haired young man in a long gown stopped not far from Xie Zhuo holding a dimly lit palace lantern. Half of the palm, the young little king has clear green eyes hanging down his face, the crown on his head shines against the golden hair, and on his shoulder sits a strange smiling puppet.

The puppet was in tatters, as if it had been severely tortured and ravaged. Its hands and feet drooped, and its face was covered with mottled blood. It looked extremely creepy. Sitting on the shoulders of the luxuriously dressed little king, it was full of a sense of incompatibility and strangeness. .

Compared with before, its size has shrunk a circle, and it has become thinner. It can even be stuffed directly into a coat pocket.

In fact, Qiao Zhou didn't have to bother trying to sneak the puppet into the black hole at all. Although using the puppet without sanity stuttered and caused headaches, compared to a prop that was difficult to control, Qiao Zhou readily accepted these extras. condition.

Therefore, it was not one person who entered the black hole with Shao Xinglan at that time, but three people.

Account number [-], which has become Qiao Zhou’s appearance, has been put on the main body of the little king’s account, plus an embalmer’s account that provides hidden functions. He happily followed Shao Xinglan, who had no idea what was going on beside him, into the account. black hole.

And what he wants to do now is to create a new "monster".

New account, Danqingling·Recorder, a historian who records the truth and narrates history as his own responsibility. He was born in a famous family and has the world in mind. He has lingered in the mud and rolled in the dust. Blindly begging everywhere, a knife and pen, and a roll of bamboo books, burning the blood and tears of mountains and rivers, all kinds of people in the world, are the witnesses of absolute justice.

The sudden torrential rain poured down, and the thunder and lightning twisted and rolled in the black clouds like a giant snake, exploding one after another on the sky. In the sudden torrential rain, a light figure floated up and down and stopped Standing on the roof of the palace, he has a foreign appearance that is incompatible with this time and space, with curly black hair messily draped over his shoulders, blue eyes as passionate as gazing at his lover, his clothes restraining his honey-colored texture, and a pair of Hidden Swords dripping down in his hands The dripping scarlet blood flowed into the roof tiles in an instant, and was completely washed away.

The little king standing below with the arms of the undertaker felt something, raised his eyes to look, and immediately the Sardinian assassin standing there happily blew a kiss, soft waves rippled in his amorous eyes, and raised his hand. Hidden Blade reported the results of the battle to his monarch through the heavy rain.

In the distance of the sky, in an unnoticed hidden place, a crack is rapidly expanding, and the whole world is silently and slowly collapsing. The eyes of people walking on the street are rolled up, revealing the blood-red whites of their eyes, and their twisted limbs are squeezing out their clothes. It fell to the ground, splashing muddy and sticky juice.

What would be the main plot of such a world?

Qiao Zhou thought about this question countless times in the bustling capital city, in the desolate border, in ordinary towns, in Xie's house, in ruined temples, and under bridge holes.

Assume boldly, think carefully, and carefully scrutinize, collect all the clues you can touch, whether useful or seemingly useless, find what you need, and finally come to a conclusion.

As Shao Xinglan said, this place may indeed be a game.

And it should be a game of power and strategy.

Faint old emperor, war full of doubts, chaotic court, aristocratic family and imperial power gnawing at each other, common people living in dire straits, internal and external troubles, the country will not be the country-is it a very good game opening background?

As a player, the most suitable initial identity is...

The little king twirled the ring on his thumb and thought casually, of course he is the fourth prince who has the highest voice in the ruling and opposition parties.

Then when the old emperor dies, he can start fighting in all directions to pacify the world, deal with the front court and harem, and govern the country.

Isn't this the "Emperor's Raising Plan".

The plot he is going through should be the pre-plot of the game.

According to the speculation, after the famous Dan Qingling Xie Zhuo died for the people, there was a lot of controversy between the government and the opposition. The old emperor would probably abdicate soon because of this, and after that it would be the world of players.

However, as an excellent player with a sense of ownership, Qiao Zhou felt that in such a strategy game, there should be no more players.

The game without the player account in the pre-plot completely collapsed, and the plot went straight to an unspeakable direction of alienation. The cracks in the sky became bigger and bigger, and no one could ignore it. Shao Xinglan's smile froze on his face He was no stranger to this scene, and it happened in the video recording of the London Incident!

Director Shao, who is well versed in life-saving skills, moved his feet and hid himself behind the huge vase in the corner of the hall. Facts proved that his choice was extremely correct. When he hid for less than 3 minutes, the officials and courtiers in the hall began to alienate one after another. The sticky tentacles tore and twisted, turning the resplendent palace into a den of demons dancing in a flash.

Oops... Qiao Zhou is still down there!

Shao Xinglan frowned, and quickly raised his hand to touch the bracelet inside his sleeve. This time, he didn't intend to hesitate anymore. No matter what temptations, he couldn't really make people throw their lives here.

If this is a game, Shao Xinglan feels that it is not impossible for the opponent to organize such a battle to force him to save his life.
