"You don't seem to understand the situation yet.
You have no choice at all, except to obey or die. "
Bai Ning warned him coldly, and the bodyguard on the side also measured the guy appropriately.
Sima Tian, who was frightened, immediately slumped down, his head lowered, his eyes full of fear, and he no longer had the frivolousness and uprightness before.
"You coward, lead the way.
quick! "
Liu Cheng was frightened when he saw the contraband, but he soon vented his emotions on the coward Sima Tian.
As for Sima Tian, Sima is pretty much a coward.
The task of escorting Sima Tian naturally fell into Liu Cheng's hands. As he slowly moved forward, the whimpering of the wind in the entire Devil City seemed to be more obvious.
Gradually, there was a sense of irritation from the sound of wind. The sound of everyone's footsteps was gradually swallowed up under this influence, and it became difficult to even talk to each other.
Bai Ning knew that the Devil City was formed by wind and sand erosion, but such a Devil City was obviously abnormal. Combined with Sima Tian's abnormal identity, there must be some unknown traps in it.
It was not advisable to stay here for a long time. Through physical contact, Bai Ning signaled everyone to leave the Devil City immediately.
The atmosphere was weird and the scene was even weirder and inexplicable. Others had no objections and were about to turn around and leave.
Liu Cheng, who was holding Sima Tian, wanted to pull him away, but he tightened the rope in his hands, but Sima Tian in front did not move at all.
Continue to increase your strength, but it feels like you are pulling a stubborn donkey.
"Coward, what do you want to do?"
Feeling anxious, Liu Cheng shouted loudly.
This roar was severely distorted in the whining airflow, like a garbage dump stereo struggling to roar.
Liu Cheng, who was frightened, quickly turned around to look at Bai Ning and others. Seeing that Bai Ning was still there, he felt a little more at ease.
Just as he was about to say hello, Bai Ning's sudden attack surprised him again.
Bai Ning suddenly rushed forward and kicked him directly. Liu Cheng subconsciously turned around, only to find that he was not the target of the attack.
When he turned around again, he found that the coward Sima Tian was kicked to the ground.
I don't know what happened, but Sima Tian, who was kicked down, was lying straight on the ground, as if he was stiff due to stimulation.
Combined with the previous strong donkey feel, the overall feeling is like a stone sculpture.
Very strange perceptions and associations, Liu Cheng, who was very curious, quickly stepped forward to check.
You don’t know this by looking at it, but you’re shocked when you look at it.
Sima Tianzheng lying on the ground looked like a high-quality imitation silicone dummy, and the stiff profile of his face could even give people an uncanny valley effect.
what happened?
He just listened to a few rumors and turned into a stone man?
Because I don’t understand, I am afraid.
Just when he was about to ask why, he saw that Bai Ning had already signaled the bodyguards to pick up the mutated Sima Tian.
Liu Cheng, who was worried but still holding the rope, quickly followed everyone out of this haunted devil city.
As the team successfully left, the whimpering in his ears gradually became quieter. Without the external noise, Liu Cheng felt that his whole heart was much quieter.
He was about to ask why, but after looking at Sima Tian, who was still as cold as a statue, and Bai Ning, who was as silent as an old monk, Liu Cheng quite consciously chose to shut up.
Know what you need to know and don't ask questions about what you shouldn't know. This is much more chaotic than at sea.
Subconsciously, he glanced at the dark Devil's City behind him, and felt even more fearful of this place.
Time passed by minute by second, and Sima Tian, who felt that he was already rigor mortis, still had no intention of reviving, and the silent atmosphere in the field had no intention of ending.
"Everyone, should we try to wake up Sima Tian now?"
Feeling that the others had forgotten about the unconscious Sima Tian because they were in a daze, Liu Cheng dared to say hello.
"What, is there any way you can wake him up?"
Like a playful tease, Jiang Yingxue's response surprised Liu Cheng and also made him fall into endless embarrassment.
We were chatting today, no wonder no one said a word.
Even if there is no solution for the time being, everyone must at least discuss it with each other.
What if the discussion comes up with something?
"Are you sure he's still alive?"
Bai Ning's inexplicable question made Liu Cheng stunned again. He was confused and could only use some excuse to focus on Jiang Yingxue, the female boss.
Just like that, Jiang Yingxue was the initiator of this topic.
"Are you talking about clones?
I don't think he looks like a clone.
Furthermore, decades have passed since the Pisces Jade Pendant was discovered. Even if there were babies among the original clones, they would be older than Sima Tian.
What's more, this Sima Tian also has the latest generation ID card. "
Jiang Yingxue's response made Liu Cheng, who was already confused, even more puzzled. What was this talking about? Is there any necessary connection between the two?
“It is precisely because he has the latest generation ID that I suspect he is a clone.
You know, the Pisces Jade Pendant is just one of the incentives for cloning people.
Furthermore, if you want to copy an individual creature, you definitely cannot succeed by putting the Pisces jade pendant on a living creature.
The Pisces Jade Pendant is only a key carrier of replication, and it is also a tentative result of the previous clone incident.
We don’t know what experiments the relevant biochemical experts conducted with the Pisces Jade Pendant, but the only thing that is certain is that there is more than one Pisces Jade Pendant that can be used to replicate people.
Therefore, I am more inclined to think that Sima Tian is the product of the current clone incident. "
The phenomenon described by Bai Ning is very interesting, and it seems to mean that Sima Tian and others have once again mistakenly entered the scene of the previous clone incident.
The place where Peng Jiamu disappeared was the outer area of Lop Nur. Now they met the suspected clone Sima Tian while searching for the tomb of the last Queen Mother of the West.
The relationship between the two can no longer be called a coincidence, it seems to have a certain degree of inevitability.
"According to the characteristics of the clone described in this urban legend, when the main body of the clone dies, the clone will also die 7 hours later.
This shows that there is a strong connection between the copying subject and the object.
Among the general assumptions, the connection between the copying subject and the object is usually explained as a spatiotemporal attribute.
But in my opinion, this kind of copying may only be a copy of the biological body, but it cannot be copied for the soul.
Or, the copied soul will have a certain master-slave relationship with the subject soul. As the subject soul dies, the object soul will also die simultaneously.
It is precisely because of the difference at the soul level that the characteristics displayed by Sima Tian in the Devil City are different from ours. "
Jiang Yingxue quickly accepted Bai Ning's statement and gave a certain explanation for the abnormality of Sima Tian's clone.
If it was really due to differences in the soul level that caused Sima Tian's abnormality, then the stone forest area formed by wind erosion would be more complicated than expected.
Here, there are not only special ancient legacies that can produce clones, but there may also be special devices that restrict clones.
Not only that, this particular piece of equipment is always on.
But then I thought again, since the special mechanism of this devil city can make Sima Tian fall into a coma, then how did Sima Tian escape from here?
How could a replicator who had gone through so much hardship to escape return to this place again amid a few provocations from others?
You know, based on the behavioral logic that Sima Tian showed before, he is just an ordinary tour guide who came out to ask for help.
He is even a black-hearted tour guide who will try his best to trick other people in order to earn rescue fees.
Although there are many doubts about him, his memory logic at the ideological level is very consistent with the character of a tour guide in trouble.
To make a bold analogy, the escaped Sima Tian is like an NPC that was spawned out of thin air. Even though the various details on his body do not match his character, the preloaded NPC script allows him to faithfully perform the task. own preset purpose.
If we develop according to this logical line, as long as Sima Tian's refresh time is short enough, Bai Ning and others can even encounter many such Sima Tian on the way here.
Unfortunately, such a thing did not happen.
Maybe it's because Sima Tian's refresh interval is too long, or maybe the refreshed Sima Tian's path for asking for help is different every time.
How should we deal with such a replica?
Subconsciously, he glanced at Sima Tian, who was still unconscious on the ground. If he was really defective at the soul level, then the golden crystal core containing the dragon soul should have a certain effect on him.
As soon as he placed it near Sima Tian, he began to have a strong physiological reaction in the coma state. As a burst of dim light flashed away, as if he had been frightened, Sima Tian suddenly jumped out of his body. He sat up on the ground.
There was no look of shock or confusion in his eyes. It was an extremely calm emptiness, like a state of absolute emptiness.
It was as if, under the stimulation of the dragon soul crystal core, Sima Tian, the copied NPC, restarted again.
His preset program is slowly loading, and then he will continue on a meaningless journey to seek help.
After waiting in place for several minutes, Sima Tian's divergent pupils finally began to slowly converge. As his eyes finally focused, the expression on his face began to become complicated.
In a blink of an eye, Sima Tian looked around, seemingly puzzled that he would be tied up.
"Why, everyone, aren't you going to enter the Devil's City?
What are you doing to tie me up? "
What Sima Tian said was very interesting. He remembered the memories before the dispute, but all the memories after the dispute were lost.
This may be a deliberate performance, but on another level, it means the way its memory module operates.
It seems very simple to test such speculation, just enter the Devil City repeatedly.
Repeated memory confusion will definitely cause its memory module to completely collapse.
