Chapter 143 Another Door
In the ultimate nightmare, people have already discovered that those lunatics who ran out of the gray fog did not seem to be as aggressive as they imagined.
However, these lunatics do crowd their living space.
Few people dare to go into those gray fogs, they can only stay in safe scenes that are not obscured by gray fogs.
Many people don't know the truth about the gray fog, and they don't know what these lunatics symbolize in the gray fog outside the narrow building;
But as soon as they came, they knew that some missionaries had walked into the gray mist outside the narrow building, and then never came back.
Secondly, now this group of inexplicable lunatics came out of the gray fog, which made them even more respectful of these gloomy, catkin-like fog.
But some people did enter the gray fog.
Either they were forced to nowhere, and the space they were in was surrounded by gray fog, so they had to enter the gray fog to find a way to survive; or... they were crazy.
Now fewer and fewer people are awake in the ultimate nightmare.If Xu Bei paid all his attention to a certain number on the control panel, he would find that only a quarter of the sober people remained.Three quarters of the taskers and actors have lost their minds.
This number has stabilized for a period of time after a sharp decline;
Then, again in just a short period of time, the number quickly dropped from one-third to one-quarter.
Lost in the nightmare at the beginning, and struggling for a while but still powerless after all.More and more people are losing their minds and ego.
They sink into this ultimate nightmare.Of course, he was also unaware of the existence of the gray fog.
The original lunatic came out of the gray fog, and the new lunatic walked in again.
In addition to the impact of the gray fog, as time went by, sober people also began to worry about the coming of the sky fire and the survival of the ruins after the sky fire came to the world.
Even if some people don't know what the sky fire descended into the world, they also start to worry that if they stay in this nightmare for so long, will the nightmare collapse?
Alertness and vigilance arose in everyone's heart.
When Fei and Jiang Shuangmei came out of the gray mist, they took a deep breath, and before they had time to say anything about the scene in the gray mist, suddenly, the sky and the earth shook before their eyes.
Fei shouted loudly: "Heavenly Fire Comes to the World!"
She and Jiang Shuangmei quickly ran towards the nearby building without looking at it.They narrowly escaped the disaster of fire from heaven.
Fei was trembling, but before she recovered, suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder.
She yelled out in fright, and almost slapped her out.Then she noticed that it was a witchcraft.
Wu Jian, Ye Lan and Xie Zhijin were standing in front of her, and Wu Jian had a slightly embarrassed expression.
It seems that he didn't expect to scare Fei like this.
Fei took a deep breath, only feeling that her hands were a little itchy, wishing she could beat Wu Jian directly.
Jiang Shuangmei said pleasantly, "You are here too!"
Fei looked back at the doomsday-like scene outside—no, it wasn't doomsday-like, this was the doomsday.What was a normal city scene just now turned into ruins in an instant.
Maybe it is not so fast in the real world, maybe the ultimate nightmare has accelerated the speed of the ruins.However, this is the scene that human beings will finally face after the heavenly fire comes into the world.
Fei Ding stared at it for a while, and then, a look of pain flashed in his eyes.
She couldn't help thinking, who would have thought that?Who could have imagined such an indiscriminate disaster?Who would have thought... Life is obviously going on in a mediocre way.However, everything will change at some point.
Complete, irreversible, irreversible, change.
Fei closed her eyes, sighed, turned her head and was about to say something to Wu Jian, when she suddenly saw Xie Zhijin beside Wu Jian.
Just now she was still in shock and didn't look carefully, but now that she saw this person, she immediately said pleasantly, "Old Xie!"
Xie Zhijin opened his mouth, and then said suspiciously: "So everyone knows me, and I lost my memory?"
His expression was very suspicious of life.
Fei was confused.
Wu Jian hurriedly explained: "He's sober now... No, he's not sober either. He believes what I said, but he doesn't have the memory of the narrow building... He's just... Uh, half-crazy and half-stupid?"
Xie Zhijin looked at him quietly: "Although I don't remember you anymore, I think I can recover my memory one day."
The implication is that at that time, you will wait and see.
Wu Jian closed his mouth.
Fei was a little confused, looked at Xie Zhijin several times, then shook his head again.
She always felt that the current Xie Zhijin, compared to the Xie Zhijin she knew, seemed... er, much more lively?
Thinking of the narrow building, and how those nightmares shaped and changed people, Fei couldn't help sighing—yes, of course.They are much calmer, silent, and gloomy than they were before the end.
They exchanged information.
Wu Jian and the three of them were very lucky. Although the gray fog appeared, it did not diffuse to their side.
Therefore, they chose this scene as a place to stay and prepare for the next stage of the fire coming from the sky, ruins and so on.
They have collected a lot of necessities, food, and water.
Wu Jian said confidently: "This will definitely last for a while, at least it will allow us to wait and see."
A long time has passed since they entered the ultimate nightmare.At this stage, none of them knew what direction the next doomsday would evolve.Therefore, they can only do their best.
They are now on the first floor of a newspaper office.The staff of the newspaper had disappeared, leaving only the empty building.
In the surrounding area, there are also a few similar buildings that survived the fire from heaven.
However, because of the gray fog, they can't see the distant scene very clearly now.
This sense of urgency of being trapped by the fog, losing their vision, and not knowing when the fog will come to them made several taskers a little nervous and uneasy.
Fei said, "We walked through the gray fog."
Hearing this, Wu Jian three people immediately concentrated their attention.
The three of them were lucky, avoiding the gray fog, and never thought of passing through the gray fog.
Now that I heard that Fei and Jiang Shuangmei came from the gray fog, I immediately became interested.
Ye Lan asked: "What's in the gray fog?"
"Those scenes are still there, but they are all covered by gray fog, so they can't be seen clearly." Jiang Shuangmei said directly, "Other things... can't see anything."
"Can't see anything?" Wu Jian looked a little weird, "So... is it safe?"
Fei sighed: "No, it's not safe."
"I mean...you can't see it," Jiang Shuangmei said. "There are invisible things—invisible, doors."
When Fei and Jiang Shuangmei walked in the gray fog, they didn't find anything at first, and they also thought that the gray fog was safe.But then, Fei inadvertently bumped into the door frame.
Only then did they realize that the gray mist was full of invisible and invisible doors.
"And it's in the open state." Jiang Shuangmei said uncomfortably, "If you don't pay attention, you might just rush in. Then... probably go to accompany those who are sinking in the nightmare."
At the end, Jiang Shuangmei's tone became much more complicated.
Those who knew what happened to her sister couldn't help but glance at her, but didn't say anything.
Only Xie Zhijin, who didn't know what happened to Jiang Shuangjie, looked left and right, a little curious, but he didn't ask his doubts.
Now is not the time to pay attention to this.
"That is to say, it is possible to walk through the gray fog, but you must pay great attention to the situation around you."
Ye Lan said, "The door to enter the gray mist... No matter what, it will definitely make one less person awake in the ultimate nightmare."
"Staying in the gray fog for a long time is also troublesome." Fei hesitated, then said, "I think the gray fog may have some negative effects on our sanity."
Wu Jian asked curiously: "How long have you been walking in the fog? Do you have a clear feeling?"
"I don't have a clear feeling. But..." Jiang Shuangmei hesitated, and then said, "You will lose your way in the fog. In other words, it is very likely that you will not be able to get out after walking for a long time, and then..."
Fei's voice was low: "Then it stayed there forever."
Wu Jian couldn't help sighing, he said: "I really don't understand why the gray mist can penetrate into the nightmare. Is it really here to pick up these lunatics?"
They also encountered a fog similar to the gray fog in the nightmare of the ruins, but that was just the boundary marker of the dream in the dream, not the gray fog outside the narrow building in the true sense.
But now, in this ultimate nightmare, the gray fog outside the narrow building appeared instead.
why?
"Even if these lunatics are the danger of this nightmare..." Ye Lan said, "Should it also conform to the setting of this game?"
Wu Jian scratched his hair in distress.
"The setting of this game?" Xie Zhijin asked suddenly, "So what is the setting of this game?"
Fei explained: "We didn't get clear information, but...according to our guess, the setting of this game should be that after the end, human beings entered the final refuge, which is the narrow building.
"The manager of the narrow building is an artificial intelligence. The residents of the narrow building have their own nightmares, which are based on their experiences in the apocalypse; and the artificial intelligence of the narrow building also has its own nightmare...
"Outsiders—that is, missionaries, enter these nightmares and help these survivors get out of the haze of doomsday.
"Yes, that's our guess."
Xie Zhijin frowned and said, "But, from the information you know, there is absolutely nothing about the ultimate nightmare of this game and its ending."
Fei and Wu Jian were a little embarrassed.
Can they say that, being so busy entering the ultimate nightmare and fantasizing about a life of freedom and bliss after leaving the Narrows, it never occurred to them to ask about it?
After all, they have substituted the doomsday of the earth into the doomsday in this game setting.
In a sense, they escaped from the narrow building, which is the ending they hoped to achieve in this game.
and many more?
Fei suddenly froze.
She murmured in a low voice: "The end of the earth... Substitute into the end of the game setting?"
The rest looked at her suspiciously.
"Humans leave the narrow building... Our ending, the ending of the game?" Her voice gradually became excited, "This is the ending of this game! This is the plot of this game! The development of this game is implying us!"
"What?" Wu Jian couldn't help asking, "You mean...leave the narrow building?"
Ye Lan even said directly: "Leaving the narrow building is the destined ending of this game?!"
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" Xie Zhijin looked puzzled, "What does it mean to leave the narrow building—is this game's destined ending? Are we going to rebel against the manager of the narrow building and then escape from the narrow building?"
He looked into the eyes of the other four people, then swallowed: "Am I right?"
Fei said: "We have always confused the end of the earth with the end of the narrow building, but they are actually different;
In reality, the development of human destiny is different from that of the survivors in the narrow building.
"However, there are more similarities among them, as if to imply us... the plot in this game is like walking along the trajectory of human destiny in reality.
"The survivors in the game have experienced the end, and we have also experienced it; the survivors in the game are trapped in the narrow building, and we are also trapped in the narrow building; and now we are going to escape from the narrow building...
"If, on the other hand, this is exactly what the survivors in the game have to experience? They also have to escape from the narrow building? Is this the end of the game?
"You think... the name of this game is "Escape from the Sky", which means that you still have to escape after all. To leave this narrow building, you have to escape."
Wu Jian said blankly: "So, after all, NE is not our helper... but our opposite."
"I don't understand NE's position anymore." Fei cursed, "I don't understand at all...it is obviously helping us, but according to our analysis, it is not anymore...it is our opposite again ...Damn it!"
They preemptively figured out that "escape from the narrow building" is the ending of the game, and then went back to analyze it, and found that if this ending is really going to happen, then the human survivors in the narrow building will inevitably have to fight against the narrow building for various reasons. Lou's artificial intelligence conflicts.
Therefore, NE is still their enemy after all.
Fei and Wu Jian suddenly became nervous again.Earlier, they realized that NE was helping them, and I have to say, this gave them a lot of comfort, after all——after all, it was NE!Be the mastermind of this game!
It is omnipotent and does whatever it wants in this game.If they want to escape from the narrow building, they must need NE's help.
And they also thought that NE was on their side.
But now, according to the ending they analyzed, NE has stood on the opposite side of them.
"No, no, no..." Wu Jian subconsciously denied this possibility, "Maybe... maybe, the artificial intelligence in the narrow building also wants to leave the narrow building...? Maybe?"
"Impossible..." Ye Lan said decisively, "Since it is the manager of the narrow building, and it is also an artificial intelligence, then unless its developer changes its program..."
After speaking, Ye Lan suddenly fell silent.
Fei was startled, and then exclaimed: "Developer!" She said in surprise, "Yeah... So, in this game setting, who is the developer of the artificial intelligence?"
The developers of NE must be outside the game, but what about the game setting?
There should be one, or even a group of game developers, right?Will he/they be able to change the NE's program?
Wu Jian smiled wryly, he scratched his hair, and said distressedly: "It's getting more and more messy..."
Jiang Shuangmei even said directly: "Can you really find the developer? How can you find such a large scene? Now the gray fog has covered many scenes...I can't see my fingers..."
Xie Zhijin added in a timely manner: "Anyway, your discussion has nothing to do with our current situation - should we leave this place?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
They turned their heads and quietly glanced at the gray fog outside.It's still spreading, and it's hard to tell if it's coming their way, but... eventually it will.
"Grey fog..." Ye Lan said suddenly, "If we enter the ultimate nightmare, it means the final battle between the survivors of the narrow building and artificial intelligence. Then, gray fog must be the countermeasure of artificial intelligence, right?"
"Then why is it in the ultimate nightmare and not in the narrow building?" Fei asked, and then added, "The ultimate nightmare is the nightmare of all human survivors, it is the doomsday they have experienced...Why is it here, Can solve the AI that prevents them from leaving the narrow building?
"Why this moment?"
"Because, at this moment, is artificial intelligence, the stage of development?"
Wu Jian came to this conclusion with difficulty.
Afterwards, the four of them looked at each other.
Ye Lan said: "So, that place must be somewhere shrouded in gray fog, a place where artificial intelligence wants to hide. We want to go there, and then, stop the development of artificial intelligence?"
Jiang Shuangmei couldn't help but said: "But the nightmare doesn't mean going back to the past..."
On the side, Xie Zhijin couldn't help pinching his eyebrows.
He didn't understand anything, and he had to stay here with these three people.This made him feel helpless.
He said casually: "You can always find those developers and ask how to turn off the artificial intelligence you are talking about?"
After speaking, he was stunned for a moment.
"Yup!"
The other four exclaimed.
They all acquiesced, NE cannot be closed, after all, it is the mastermind of the game.
But the artificial intelligence of the narrow building, or NE's identity in this game is different.
From another perspective, if NE's identity in the game is closed.So what about NE itself?
In any case, they seem to have only this option now.
Fei was in a complicated mood: "So, now we are going to deal with NE again..."
"You have to do something in the ultimate nightmare, right?" Wu Jian said, "Or, as Xu Beijin said, just do nothing and just stay sane until the end?
I don't think it's that simple.It is also impossible for us to sit back and enjoy the benefits and escape casually. "
Fei sighed and said, "You're right."
"In this case, where exactly is the place we need to find?" Ye Lan asked after thinking, "Where did the gray fog first appear?"
She and Wu Jian were stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Zhijin at the same time.
Xie Zhijin was stunned, and said in disbelief, "My house is downstairs?!"
Wu Jian shrugged: "Anyway, as far as I know, you told me about the first gray fog."
The corner of Xie Zhijin's mouth twitched, and he said, "I really didn't know that my community is actually developing a god-like artificial intelligence..."
He found it unbelievable, but the others seemed to acquiesce to this possibility, and immediately began to explore the route back there.Xie Zhijin hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent.
Anyway, he thought, let them do something with this inexplicable scene.
Doing anything is better than stopping in a safe place and waiting to die.
Waiting to die in a safe place...
At that moment, some strange images seemed to flash in Xie Zhijin's mind.
There are him, and there are others, struggling in an old, gloomy place that smells of decay, but waiting to die.
He froze for a moment, then thought, well, let's go look for that place.
Fortunately, the route they took along the way was not very complicated, and Xie Zhijin, Wu Jian, and Ye Lan all remembered it.But the problem is...
Ye Lan said calmly: "Will the gray fog make us lose our way?"
They looked at Fei and Jiang Shuangmei who had entered the gray mist at the same time.
And they hesitated for a moment, then replied in unison: "Yes..."
After entering the gray fog, the field of vision will be occupied by fog.Although the scene in the nightmare still exists, unless you look closely, you can't see it at all, and it can't be used as a signpost at all.
In this case, human beings can only rely on their own sense of direction instinct.And this, for humans who have long been accustomed to tools and technological means, is really embarrassing for them.
Wu Jian scratched his hair, and suddenly took out the computer he had brought all the way from the side.
He took the computer with him at first to find companions on the Internet, but no one paid attention to him after waiting for a long time.After that, I had already brought it anyway, so I kept holding it on.
Now, this seems to be used to show them the way.
Wu Jian suggested: "The computer has a built-in map software. Although it is useless to find the way... But it is still possible to be a compass, right?"
Xie Zhijin immediately praised that it was a good idea, but the rest of the taskers couldn't react.
No one thought that computers could still be used now—computers!This thing has disappeared in the narrow building!
Jiang Shuangmei was overjoyed: "Yes! We can find the direction!"
Ye Lan stood up and said, "Then, let's go."
They set out to find the developer of the artificial intelligence in the narrow building in the game setting.
And this scene was seen by Xu Beijin.
In fact, he didn't hear the entire conversation of these people, but only started listening when they were about to set off to find a developer.
When he noticed that the ultimate nightmare had come to the moment when the sky fire came into the world, he began to look for those task players and actors he was familiar with.
Later, he unexpectedly discovered that these people had gathered together, so he switched the screen.
Later, he discovered that these people had already noticed the difference between color and ne.
This made him quite gratified.
There is a lot of information that he did not tell these humans who entered the narrow building, but he couldn't tell either.
NE is indeed dormant, but this does not mean that it cannot wake up on its own unless it is awakened by Xu Beijin.
Maybe a special keyword can wake up NE, and let it discover this group of humans and Xu Beijin's plan.
So Xu Beijin had to finish everything quietly.He hoped that by the time NE woke up, the situation had progressed to the point where NE could not be stopped—even, he hoped that NE would be defeated in hibernation just like this.
Now, the tasker, whom he placed high hopes on, embarked on this road.
Xu Bei sincerely wished them good luck and wished their actions all the best.
When he was paying attention to the situation in the ultimate nightmare, Lingo beside him suddenly said: "There are only five meters left."
Xu Beijin raised his head subconsciously, noticing that the fog had filled in front of them.
This made Xu Beijin a little nervous.The gray fog coming towards them is after all the game's self-destruction program, and in this short period of time, the gray fog has already filled in front of them.
Next, the gray mist will slowly erode the entire narrow building.
Human beings staying in the gray fog for a long time will inevitably lead to various mental problems.
Fortunately, the humans in the narrow building have fallen into a deep sleep at this moment, at least they will not be affected by the gray fog for a short time.
However, Xu Beijin is still a little worried about whether the situation in the ultimate nightmare will develop according to his ideas.
In any case, they seem to have no time to think about the future now.They first have to find the data port they need.
At this moment, only a short five meters remained in the buffer zone between the narrow building and the gray mist.
And an indistinct door emerged from the gray mist.
