Looking at Lin Shu, who looked like he was really a transfer student who came three days late, Feng Xue silently overturned the guess he had made before.
Or, at least partially overturned.
He originally thought that these students and teachers were just derivatives of strange stories, a kind of refreshable villagers that could be fabricated at will, similar to the poisonous bodies that he could easily create.
But now, as Lin Shu, an individual who should have been "abandoned" for cheating, returns to the class, everything is different.
Because according to the school's operating rules, if you are expelled for cheating in the exam, it should be something similar to the immediate death rule. From now on, the classmates in the class have no impression of the name Lin Shu, which proves this.
Logically speaking, even to maintain this rule, the expelled people should not be added back, or even if they are added, they should at least have a different name.
But the problem is that this guy now appears in the classroom blatantly. Not only does his appearance remain unchanged, but his name and personality are exactly the same as the original Lin Shu.
If there is any difference, it is that people in the class really don't seem to remember that there was Lin Shu in the class two days ago.
"In other words, these teachers and classmates in the class are not so-called derivatives themselves, but have some special functions. Or maybe this weird story itself does not have the technology to make derivatives. When encountering 'one of our own' When violations occur, the only way to recycle them is by erasing the relevant memories.”
Feng Xue tried to talk to the new Lin Shu, and found that he seemed to have no previous memories at all, but except for the memory of going to school, other memories - or personality, were very clear.
Originally, he thought that the wandering ghost like the long-necked ghost was the most special existence in this ghost school, but now it seems that this guess, if not completely wrong, at least missed some key information.
Then, he suddenly realized another possibility——
Maybe, this Lin Shu is actually a different person?
The only thing that remains unchanged is the character!
This thought made Feng Xue's scalp tingle, but at the same time, he had to pay attention to this sudden idea.
Although it sounds like taking on the identity of other ghosts in a ghost school and becoming a ghost, it makes sense if you consider that this is a process for both students and players.
If a player violates the rules here, he will be erased by some kind of instant death (or imprisoned or exiled) ability, and then some kind of derivative, dummy, etc. will play the role of the player's character.
But the question is, what is the significance of this kind of acting?
If it were a team competition, it would make sense for the dummy to pretend to be a player and trick more players. However, although there are many players in this level now, there is no grouping, and the players who were eliminated before have not come to the door.
And it would be even more impractical to infiltrate the player group by pretending to be clear players. After all, no matter how inhuman the players are, they are essentially just living people raising ghosts or insects. And among the students and teachers in this copy, All species are substantive spiritual bodies. No matter how lifelike their appearance is, the players are not so stupid that they cannot see it.
"Some key information must have been missed!" Feng Xue took a deep breath. No matter which guess he made, he felt stuck in half, which made him very uncomfortable with the current situation.
"Relax first, don't be anxious, list the known conditions first."
Feng Xue sat back in her seat, holding a notebook, but her mind began to list all the things that happened after entering this level——
1. The level is similar to a variant of Rules and Ghost Stories. The basic rules are the school rules and public morals.
2. Most of the "ghosts" in the ghost school exist in the form of entity-like NPCs. They look no different from ordinary people, but under certain circumstances (being attacked, triggering the killing rules) they will show ghost characteristics, but It will return to normal after it ends.
3. There are a very small number of wandering spirits in the ghost school. They maintain their ghostly appearance for a long time. They are not too strong and have independent thinking logic.
4. The rules in the ghost school treat everyone equally, and both players and NPCs are affected.
5. Phantom objects will naturally occur in ghost schools. Although the effects are relatively embarrassing, they are usually closely related to the environment and have a specific destruction mechanism.
6. Each NPC has a fixed personality. Even if the character violates the rules and is erased, its personality will still be recycled (or inherited).
…
Feng Xue pondered over several clues and focused on the two key words "wandering spirit" and "personality".
Why are there wandering spirits in ghost schools?
Have these wandering spirits "not yet obtained their personalities" or have they "lost their personalities"?
The reason why he thinks so much is not that this level is difficult - not to mention the level, if he wants to, he can even directly summon the Star Destroyer Cannon to cleanse the ground in this world without "Emperor".
But the problem is, that doesn't make sense.
Feng Xue is a "teleologist" who believes that any behavior of intellectual existence must have a purpose, even if it is twisted, crazy, unrealistic, or even incomprehensible to humans, it should ultimately have such a purpose. , even the most elusive fun person has the purpose of "watching fun".
Therefore, when the ghost school presented a posture that was similar to the rules but violated common sense, Feng Xue's first reaction was that there must be some kind of purpose hidden in it.
Although Feng Xue's journey of ghost stories seems to be particularly smooth with the addition of the information age, he is a humble person after all and does not think that he is awesome [beep——] and other ghost stories are stupid [beep——] , and the sublimation of the Qingxing Lantern and the secrets on the upper level of the Tower of Babylon convinced him that the Tower of Babylon must have some purpose.
Thinking about it this way, there must be a purpose for sending these "potential" ghost stories to various ghost story worlds.
"If I want the brave to defeat the Demon King, then I will definitely not send the novice hero to the Demon King's City directly. Instead, I will screen out specific trials based on the characteristics of the Demon King, and then send the brave to level up and pass These trials master various skills that can be used against the Demon King, and then it's time to challenge the Demon King.
"If the purpose of Infinite City is for us 'braves' to challenge the 'Devil' at the top of the Tower of Babylon, then the progressive traversal mechanism may well hide the necessary things to defeat the Demon."
Thinking of this, Feng Xue suppressed his impatience. He was now like a player who had cleared the normal difficulty level of the game and wanted to move towards a more advanced position.
What we need to do now is no longer just to use a set of formulaic tricks to speed through the game. Of course, it is not to directly join the Fengling Yueying Sect to experience the unrestrained pleasure, but to exercise self-discipline.
Five doors and four locks, an autistic ninja sect, and all kinds of restrictions are not to prove how great you are, but to truly make technological progress.
