Why is my time traveling to the second dimension such a weird rule story?

He knew that the bodies of the disappeared soldiers were all on the ceiling.

Something had dragged them up, and it seemed that the thing was doing something with the bodies.

The sound was like eating, and it was like some kind of worm slowly twisting. It was really hard to imagine what the scene was like. As these sounds continued, Gao Hai could feel that he was gradually developing a strong urge to look up.

Was it some kind of mental pollution and cognitive change? I don't know why such a thing appeared in this underground base. Considering that the people inside were unlikely to survive to complete the record of all the strange things after the base was blocked, this thing is probably a new thing that is not on the rule list. Tsk, compared with the previous copy, this Bydos Research Institute is really a very rough place in all senses. But this is no wonder, after all, this is a [abandoned case area], and the writer probably didn't expect that Jianzi Xiaoai could come in with a double combination bug.

The urge to look up is getting worse.

After getting the protective suit and oxygen tank, Gao Hai did not rush to put on the clothes. He just held the thing and continued to move, resisting the increasingly strong urge to look up.

He could feel that the thing on the ceiling wanted him to [understand] him.

Attention, thinking, watching... all cognitive biases would intensify Gao Hai's understanding of the thing on the ceiling. This thing, who knows what it is, has a strong information pollution invasion effect compared to those weird soldiers. Although it will not appear directly, its existence itself will force players to pay attention to it. Obviously, this should be one of the rules of that thing.

If it is for other players, this move may be useful, but Gao Hai has tasted this kind of enemy.

Close your eyes.

The brain begins to work.

The four slender white thighs of Zhenfei and Qianhua's plump figure began to build a model in Gao Hai's mind.

Those are white thighs with a little fatness. It feels great to pinch and rub them. If you wear white stockings, it feels even better. Although the front armor may not be very prominent, it must be said that the legs of the real princess are really great. As for Qianhua, there is no need to say marshmallows. That feeling is really hard to describe in words. Only those who have truly experienced it know what it feels like. And Qianhua herself is very open. Compared with the slightly restrained real princess, she can basically accept any play method. It can be said that she is really nice. Well, of course, we can't forget the little maid Hayasaka. Her skills in serving people are really amazing. That little hand, that tongue, it is not an exaggeration to call it pure strength.

While thinking, the weird things on the ceiling have been completely ignored by Gao Hai. Although those distorted sounds still have a strong mental pollution effect, Gao Hai is never afraid of such places that require willpower to resist, so he just walked all the way smoothly.

Well, this is also Gao Hai's unique way of decompression and distraction. As long as there are those beautiful memories of Se Se in his mind, his mental state can be maintained in a relatively healthy state.

While thinking, Gao Hai had passed the location of the weapons depot, and the thing above his head seemed to be unable to trigger some rules, so the sound began to gradually become smaller, and the dripping speed of the blood began to slow down, not as fast as at the beginning.

{Yotani Miko: Senior, we are now in a place similar to a safe house, how is your situation?}

The mental link was suddenly connected at this time, and then Miko's voice came into his mind.

{Gao Hai: Temporarily safe, I found a way to successfully escape, but the people who came in with me before are gone, and now I am investigating in Area 3. I found something here, maybe I can find useful clues}

To be honest, Gao Hai was still a little surprised that Miko Hayasaka could investigate safely until now. He was actually ready to send two people together, and even considered how to comfort Miko who died tragically again at the beginning of the next round. As a result, these two little newbies really have nothing to do in this ghost base until now, as if the scary monsters active in this place don’t exist at all.

Wait, speaking of which, Hayasaka does seem to have a certain degree of immunity to those cognitive pollution-type weird things. When she was in Hayate Elementary School, because she was turned into a dog for a long time, her mind seemed to have been worn out to a certain extent, and her cognitive ability to those things did decline. If this is the case... then with the help of Miko, maybe Hayasaka can really hold on in front of those things?

While thinking, Gao Hai had already walked to the location of the processing room.

The so-called [processing room] is actually the toilet and washroom. At this moment, the door of this place is open, and it is pitch black inside. There is a very obvious smell of excrement and sour sweat. The two smells mixed together can only be said to be quite powerful.

The thing on the ceiling has stopped and no longer follows Gao Hai. After confirming that the thing has gone far away through the blessing of malicious perception, Gao Hai began to put on protective clothing. He put on the black full-coverage protective clothing with a little effort and turned on the oxygen tank.

Unsurprisingly, the feeling that I had established a connection with something was not interrupted by the existence of this protective suit.

Gao Hai continued to move forward, but at this moment, the spiritual link came through again.

{Fujiwara Chika: Oh, I feel dizzy. What's going on over there, Hai? Why didn't you wake up? Goto-san and Miss Xiongmi are both awake, but now only you and Mitsuko-san are still awake}

Qianhua’s communication? ! Has her spiritual link been restored?

{Yotani Miko: Huh? Fujiwara-san...wait a minute, is Fujiwara-san in Alice's room now? Don’t you remember the time when you and your seniors were locked on the iron bed? }

{Fujiwara Chika: Hey hey? Has anything like this happened? ! }

Miko's voice of surprise and inquiry, and Chika's confused answer, undoubtedly clearly demonstrated the fact that Chika had completely forgotten her experience in Bydos. Gao Hai was not surprised by this. After all, he had already speculated that players would lose their memories of exploration in Bydos.

However, Qianhua's safety made Gao Hai realize something else.

{Gao Hai: Our body in Bydos... is it fake? }

Although it was not certain at the time, looking back now, although Gao Hai successfully escaped from the iron bed, Chika Fujiwara behind him should have been killed by a strange thing.

Maybe if he goes back to look for the thing on the ceiling now, he will be able to find Qianhua herself among the corpses it took away.

The matter itself was helpless. Gao Hai was able to escape the situation at that time because of a certain amount of luck. He really couldn't save Fujiwara Chika together. But the question is, if Chika Fujiwara in Bydos is indeed dead, what about Chika who wakes up in Alice's cabin now?

Gao Hai's footsteps stopped.

First of all, Yeluoshan Middle School and Bydos Research Institute, these two places have a deep connection. Something called [Supervisor] exists on both sides of Yeluoshan and Bydos, and this time entering the dungeon The players played the role of [Supervisor].

Players who are awake will investigate and explore the Yeluoshan Middle School. The only way to enter the Bydos Research Institute is to fall asleep and lose consciousness in the Yeluoshan area. Only in this way can they wake up in Bydos, and the players who wake up must It is a state of being unable to move freely, and the memory of Bydos will be forgotten after waking up.

Then, players who are killed in Yeluoshan Middle School, even if they are suspended from life, will trigger a chain reaction in Bydos, and will be treated as some kind of [waste] by the monsters here. drop, allowing players to enjoy the fun of two ways to die in one game.

One thing is certain now, that is, if a player in the Bydos area is killed, even if he is killed by a strange creature with unknown rules, and is contaminated by the [Divine Blood] effect. After the player dies, she can also wake up again in the Yeluoshan Middle School area, forgetting the memories related to it and wake up easily. Of course, the premise is that there is still a corresponding body of the player in the Yeluoshan Middle School.

This is so strange.

According to the rules, it is clear that Bydos is where the players really exist, and the players in Yeluoshan Middle School are actually more like being in a [dream].

But the case of Fujiwara Chika completely broke this perception. Now it seems that the bodies of the players in Bydos are not important at all. Even if they are executed and destroyed, they will not affect Yeluoshan at all.

[The boundary between reality and imagination is not inseparable]

Gao Hai suddenly recalled the first game prompt he received from Baidos.

{Gao Hai: Qianhua, you have to find a way to fall asleep as quickly as possible. It is best to fall asleep on the spot}

{Gao Hai: I have to confirm something. This matter is very important. Talk to Sister Xiong Mi and Goto and let them help you fall asleep quickly}

After a brief thought, Gao Hai decided to conduct a careful verification to confirm the situation.

Qianhua didn't ask any questions about Gao Hai's idea and implemented it very simply.

So it didn't take long for Gao Hai to sense that Qianhua's consciousness disappeared from the spiritual link.

And after disappearing, it appeared again almost immediately.

"..."

Gao Hai's expression stiffened at this moment.

Through Andres's blessing, he clearly sensed the existence of Qianhua, and felt that the other person had gone from being separated by a long distance to now being in the same space.

Wow-----

The casters of the iron bed made a screeching noise as they moved across the floor.

Gao Hai turned around and looked at the end of the corridor, looking in the direction where he was originally tied to the iron frame bed and pushed out.

He saw Chika Fujiwara, who was chained to the iron frame bed motionless, being pushed out by monsters wearing protective clothing.

Yes.

It's been confirmed.

When the player's body in Bydos is destroyed and the player wakes up and returns to Yeluoshan Middle School, if the player's consciousness returns to Bydos, this place... will create a new body for the previously "dead" player. body of!

Chapter 89: The problem of distinguishing true from false and reconnection of communication

What is this?

Gao Hai's mind became a little confused.

Although it was known before that the two areas of Yeluoshan Middle School and Bydos Research Institute were very closely connected, and it was also known that the reason why the players participating in this mission had the ability to travel between the two areas was because they had obtained some special identity. But after two rounds, Gao Hai always believed that compared with Yeluoshan Middle School, Bydos should be more inclined to the [core] place, which is equivalent to the place behind the stage, and is more likely to have the characteristics of [root].

But what happened now made Gao Hai a little unsure.

Fujiwara Chika entered the Bydos area with him after faking death, and it is very likely that she died directly when she escaped from the iron bed at the beginning. However, after death, Chika soon woke up in Alice's cabin in the Yeluoshan Middle School area again, as if her experience in Bydos was just an illusion, just like a nightmare that would be forgotten after waking up.

It sounds like this situation is of great benefit to the investigation of Bydos. After all, since they can go in and out here repeatedly, even if they die, they can regain consciousness at Yeluoshan Middle School. This means that the players in the Bydos area don't have to worry about any possible costs. It's okay to just rush in. But Gao Hai knows that there will never be such a simple and easy thing in the Red Moon-level dungeon. Many times, the strange talk mechanism in the dungeon is not as simple as it seems. There is definitely a problem with this matter.

Apart from anything else, since the [Supervisor] was created by Urian, the mastermind behind the Bydos Research Institute, it is a kind of existence with special properties after merging with divine blood, so it can exist in both Bydos and Yeluoshan. What kind of existence is the [Supervisor] itself?

After the death of the player in Yeluoshan Middle School, he must die again in the Bydos area to die in the true sense. If the player can be rescued in the Bydos area before the execution, then the other party can continue to stay alive.

After the death of the player in the Bydos Research Institute, if the player in Yeluoshan Middle School is not dead, then this player will regain consciousness in Yeluoshan Middle School and be able to return to the Bydos area after falling asleep.

Combining these two aspects of information for logical analysis, maybe the players in Yeluoshan Middle School are the real ones?

But that's not right. According to the information collected so far, the [Supervisors] played by the players underwent brain surgery in the Bydos Research Institute, and then they were able to appear in the three schools in Neon in a special way. And I have also seen other players in my team being imprisoned in the cage of the Bydos Research Institute when my perception ability was activated. From this point of view, Bydos should be the real place where the players are, right?

If the players in Yeluoshan Middle School are the real side, then could it be that the mad scientist named Urian has some power across space to perform surgery on the [Supervisor] remotely and leave the person's consciousness in Bydos? But this doesn't make sense. The role that the player plays at Yeluoshan Middle School is just a student. In terms of identity, there is nothing special about it, and there is no connection with Bydos.

Which side of the players is real? Which side of the players is fake?

Or is there no real or fake distinction at all, both sides can be real, and both sides can be fake? Under the power of ghost stories, there is no need to distinguish between real and fake, and they can actually be transformed into each other?

Gao Hai's brows became more and more furrowed.

He took a step forward, wanting to move forward to Qianhua to save her, but something in the darkness had already taken action. Therefore, Gao Hai had no time to act, and the pink-haired girl died again on the spot, and then woke up again at Yeluoshan Middle School. Well, this time she woke up obviously faster, and just like before, she completely forgot that she had just entered the Bydos Research Institute again.

{Gao Hai: Are you sure you don't feel anything unusual after waking up this time? }

In the mental connection, Gao Hai thought and hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

{Fujiwara Chika: Hmm... There is really no strange feeling. I didn't retain any relevant memories, nor did I feel that I was missing or having something more. It felt like a dreamless sleep, and it even seemed quite refreshing. It was just that the memory of being hit on the head and fainted in the previous second, and waking up on the ground in the next second, which felt a bit weird.}

Judging from the girl's answer, there should be no problem.

But this is not certain, just like the wall clock in Shirakawa Apartment, it looked normal when it was used in the first replay, but who knew that at the last moment of the dungeon's destruction, the thing would catch the player who dialed the clock and not let him leave.

{Fujiwara Chika: Miss Xiong Mi asked if you need her and Goto to come in and try. There are no enemies in the safe house now, and the threat of the curse seems to have been lifted. They said they wanted to try to come in and help. If there are two more people to assist in the action, it should be much easier for you to explore, right? }

{Gao Hai: Don't do that yet. There's obviously a big problem with Bydos. Don't act rashly before confirming what's going on. Oh, tell Xiong Mi and Goto that if I give you any urgent information, you can consider forcibly waking me up.}

After a brief exchange of words and refusing to let more people come in to assist him, Gao Hai turned his attention back to the road ahead.

After walking a few more steps, he could see the entertainment room on the side. This seemed to be a place for soldiers and researchers stationed at the institute to have fun. At this time, the door of the house was open, and broken bottles were all over the floor, as well as playing cards and some small objects that Gao Hai could not understand.

There were obvious bloodstains splattered in this room, and bullet holes could also be found in various places in the house, but there were no bodies, only one body.

Looking into the house from the door, Gao Hai could see twisted blood words written on a wall. The content was very simple, just one sentence, [Why don't they die? ], and the question mark in this sentence looked quite large. Maybe the person who wrote this word was quite confused at the time.

Is this a standard plot for horror movies? No matter how tragic the situation is for the NPC, they will definitely leave various small messages to express something before they die.

Thinking like this, Gao Hai just glanced at the room roughly, and then continued to move forward, heading towards the [dormitory area].

Although there were still many unanswered questions in his heart, exploring the truth was not the most important thing at the moment. He should first confirm the specific information of the [dormitory area], and then think about how to get rid of the evil core obsession of Urian, and Jonathan, who is now completely missing and uncertain whether he has returned to the copy, and think about what to do if the other party shows up.

{Fujiwara Chika: Ah Hai, are you confused about something?}

For some reason, Chika's voice suddenly sounded in the mental link again, and she seemed to have sensed something from Gao Hai's words.

{Gao Hai: It's okay, I'm fine}

At this time, Gao Hai, who did not intend to stop to study and discuss the problem, just answered like this

{Fujiwara Chika: If Ah Hai is sure that there must be something wrong with this place, well, although I really can't do it, it may not be the case for classmate Jianzi, right? Since she stayed here in an abnormal way like Ahai, maybe she has some clues? }

{Yotani Miko: Hey, me? But I'm just looking through the data with Hayasaka, and we haven't found anything useful yet. There are nothing but test records on it, and neither of us can understand the technical terms and various calculation verifications on it}

{Fujiwara Chika: I'm not talking about the things you are investigating, Miko-san. I'm talking about the abnormal things you have seen. Well, maybe you can try to recall when you just woke up, and think about whether something happened at that time, and whether you happened to see anything strange}

Even though they didn't have much contact with each other, Chika herself just chatted casually for a few words, and the way of addressing became clear and polite.

{Yotani Miko: ...The abnormal things you saw at the beginning? }

{Yotani Miko: Um, this, wait? Oh, by the way, I remember that when I just regained consciousness...I seemed to be attached to something? That thing is not the same as the person who was operated on in the cage described by the senior. Well, that person... that person... that person seems to be a person without arms and legs, with a large amount of body parts removed. That person was placed in a completely sealed container of some kind, connected to many pipes}

{Yotani Miko: Yes, although I saw it for a short time, I did see such a scene. Strange... I should have said such a thing immediately, but why do I have no impression of it...}

Takahashi, who had already walked to the door of the dormitory area, paused slightly at this moment.

A person whose body parts were removed drastically and placed in a container, such a thing... an ammunition pack? Is this some kind of hell joke from the abyss? If that thing is really a person, and only Miko, a girl with abnormal perception, has seen it so far, and even felt that she was "attached" to that thing... could it be that it is the real body of the identity that the players play in this dungeon.

If the body that Miko saw is the real one, then the others are all fake,

So, whether it is the death of the players of Yeluoshan Middle School or the death of the players of the Bydos Institute, it does not mean that everything ends here. Because the identity they obtained in the copy, their real body is always placed in a certain area of ​​the institute, and the players with actual activity ability are actually fake bodies created by the power of ghost stories in the rules. Therefore, the player will die only when the body of the same player in both areas is destroyed.

Although there are still some places that cannot be explained smoothly, this seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

But if this statement is correct, then according to the experience described by Jianzi... her [real body] in this copy should be hidden somewhere in Area 1? And my [real body] may be in Area 3, the first place in the Bydos Institute that lost control.

Creak--

While thinking, Gao Hai has gently opened the door of the dormitory area.

After figuring out these questions, he immediately told Xiong Mi and Goto Ichiri about the state of the players after entering this place through Fujiwara Chika, and how he escaped from the trap, and asked them if they could get the ability to move freely in the Baydos Institute under such circumstances. Then he summoned Howard and Hirano Sosuke to his side. After all, Xiong Mi had recovered the pale hand, so there was no need to leave the firefighters and police officers there.

At this time, Xiong Mi and Goto Ichiri were still thinking about how to get the ability to move so that they would not be killed when they entered Baydos. They might not be able to get in for a while. Gao Hai was not in a hurry to act, and slowly explored the dormitory area first.

Compared with the entertainment area just now, the dormitory area of ​​this underground base seemed very clean, all the beds were neatly arranged, and there were no personal belongings placed randomly. Things such as bloodstains, gun holes or bullet shells were not found. From this point, Gao Hai could be sure that the No. 3 area of ​​the underground base must not have fallen at the soldiers' bedtime. Considering the obvious signs of use in the entertainment room, he guessed that something might have happened during the shift change, which led to the complete fall of the entire area.

Some dirty footprints, like those left by people without shoes, caught Gao Hai's attention at this time.

He followed these footprints and soon found that the end of the footprints was under a poster in the room. It was a large poster that looked very contemporary, depicting the heyday of a crazy empire.

Gao Hai didn't pay much attention to the bearded artist on the poster. He just compared it with other posters in the room. After confirming that this poster was indeed the largest one, he stopped. He didn't plan to go over and lift the poster, but stopped where he was, deciding to wait for Xiong Mi and Goto Ichiri to confirm the situation before talking about it.
