Chapter 74 Awakening
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
A cluster of huge colorful fireworks, with human facial features and dozens of tentacles on its body, is a strange substance. Its body is full of elasticity. It expands and collapses and emits strange sounds. breathing sound.
Seeing this scene, Li Ran couldn't help but think of a virus from his previous life.
In the past, viruses were seen through microscopes and special equipment. Who would have thought that a virus as big as a person would appear in front of him and talk to him.
That was the appearance of madman Pang Lai after he was demonized, and it was also the appearance that Li Ran had glimpsed in the [Mirror of Reality] before.
"Indeed, this is what I saw in the water glass."
Li Ran quickly calmed down. In the past eight days, there was nothing he had not experienced. The demonic form of the madman could not scare him.
Unlike other demonized monsters, a madman can recognize that he is a monster.
The madman's demonization was not to attack Li Ran, but to urgently confirm that Li Ran had seen the content.
If Li Ran saw a piece of shit in the water, maybe he would really look like that piece of shit.
"This is the truth of this world." Pang Lai, who turned into a monster, said.
"The truth?"
"They are the original inhabitants of this world!" said the madman.
Hearing this, Li Ran was shocked.
"Viruses are aborigines, so what are humans? Invaders?"
"Who can guarantee that they are not invaders?" Monster Panglai stretched out a tentacle and pointed at the ground and continued: "Maybe there is life under our feet. , you are suspecting that it is too hot underground for them to survive, and they are thinking that the surface is full of poisonous gas (oxygen) and there cannot be life." The words
of the mad monster seemed to open the door to a new world for Li Ran.
"If viruses are indigenous people, then where did humans come from?" Li Ran asked.
The lunatic monster pointed one tentacle at Li Ran: "How you got here is how they got here."
Damn it!
The words of the mad monster made Li Ran freeze in place as if struck by lightning.
He is a player selected by the strange world.
Are the indigenous people also selected players?
Thinking of this, Li Ran felt that his brain was not enough.
Are Aboriginal people players?
Are you kidding me?
Could it be that his wife and son were also players?
"Can a player still become an aborigine if he dies in the dungeon?"
A player dies... and becomes an aborigine?
No...shouldn't it be like this?
Death is a process of disappearance, and aborigines are living people.
"Wait, there may be hope of life even if you die here!"
"Dark Palace!!"
Suddenly, Li Ran seemed to have discovered something, and he became inexplicably frightened when he thought about it!
If the natives in the dungeon are players, and the players must experience death, the living players will eventually leave the dungeon.
So the question becomes, how does a player become an aborigine after death?
Return from the dead?
"Yang Ping!"
Li Ran suddenly thought of someone.
Yang Ping and the three actors who played Zhao Yingzhi's family members all came from the Dark Palace.
They all have one thing in common, they are all dead!
The existence of the Dark Hall has brought these dead people back to life.
The virus adds darkness to the palace and brings the dead back to life? !
"I'll go, no, is this the truth of the world?"
Li Ran's entire worldview was greatly impacted!
"By the way, there's Zhao Yingzhi!"
Li Ran thought of Zhao Yingzhi who had just left the Dark Palace.
At this moment, Li Ran seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind, thinking of many impossible possibilities.
When Zhao Yingzhi left the Dark Palace, there were two souls in her body.
"If Zhao Yingzhi's body is occupied by another soul, Zhao Yingzhi will no longer be the original Zhao Yingzhi, but another person!" "If
Yang Ping's memory does not only stay on the last day of death, if her inherent one-day cyclic memory is released, Can't she live in the community like an aborigine?" "
But after they came out of the dark hall, were they implanted with memories or their original memories?"
Li Ran felt that he was going crazy too. At this moment, His head was about to explode.
He looked at the madman monster and asked, "Are you awake?"
Meng Ge, Su Bingyao, Li Ziyang, and the madman in front of him all seemed to realize that they were monsters and at the same time awakened human consciousness, so Li Ran thought this was a kind of awakening. State, the awakening of human consciousness.
The monster slowly returned to the appearance of the madman Pang Lai. He walked to the cage and leaned down. A tentacle grew in his palm and quickly wrapped around the mutated mouse.
"What does awakening mean?" Madman Pang Lai had a morbid smile on his dark face.
"Chichi!!"
The entangled white mouse screamed, and its body quickly shriveled up.
Li Ran witnessed with his own eyes how the white mice were decomposed by the madman, just like the process of burned charcoal disintegrating into black ashes.
The black ash fell on the ground, and the wind blew by, leaving no trace even of the presence of the white mouse.
"It's time for you to go," the madman said suddenly.
Li Ran still had many questions to ask, but the madman returned to his original state of epilepsy, and he kept repeating those words.
"Do you believe it? This world is a cage. They are monitoring everyone from above. If we don't live according to their designed procedures, we will be exiled..." At the same time,
Li Ran heard the cold sound of mission completion in his ears. .
[Complete the mission: Pang Lai’s test. ]
[Completion reward: guile +200, points +2000, rare equipment *1]
He seemed to understand the meaning of the madman's repeated words. It probably meant that he could not talk too much and must follow the rules, otherwise It ended badly.
The madman's words also meant something, and it was difficult for Li Ran to guess at the moment.
He picked up the clothes on the floor and put them on again.
He looked back at the lunatic in a state of epilepsy.
The scariest thing in the world is that you see the truth, but those who are blinded think you are crazy.
Originally, Li Ran just wanted to go to the rooftop with the mentality of completing a task, but when the task was completed, his understanding of the world seemed to have been greatly impacted.
Didn’t you decide from the beginning that no matter what the madman said, it would fall on deaf ears?
He didn't know why he believed the madman's words.
[Mirror of Truth] has already warned that people who have peeked into the truth of this world have gone crazy.
"Damn it, am I crazy too?"
He could ignore all the conjectures he had just made.
But there was a conjecture that he thought was absurd, but he had to face it head-on.
That's what it means to say Aboriginal people are players.
If this is true, all the indigenous people in the community are players who have died.
They were all controlled by the virus and became programmed NPCs to play a role in the community.
Su Bingyao too!
Then the problem comes, Su Bingyao wakes up.
Whose consciousness did she awaken?
