Infinite City, as a city, is itself a super-large-scale ghost story. This is well known in the circle of ghost stories in Infinite City, and it can even be easily found in the library.
But no one knows how such a high-tech park turned into a strange story.
Because no matter how much the decadence, pain, confusion and despair of generations of Dongguo people are condensed, it is ultimately without consciousness, and it is impossible for Dongguo people to subconsciously give consciousness to a community. Even if there are one or two chuunibyou, it is impossible for everyone to feel that this city is alive at the same time.
So, how did Infinite City come to life?
Did it really first become a hallucination, then turn into a bad omen, and finally regroup its consciousness and become a ghost story?
So how did such a large high-tech park turn into an illusion?
Feng Xue squinted his eyes and couldn't help but cast his gaze on the school model. Only then did he finally focus on the scraps of paper used as cultivation soil.
"These should be those test papers. Well, it seems that the reason why this mosaic has been piled up to such a terrifying level is because of the exams day after day and year after year."
Feng Xue turned over the scraps of paper. Under Goldfinger's gaze, most of them were fake templates, but this was normal. In addition to having elements such as [Regeneration], [Repair], and [Infinite], otherwise the phantoms would After being destroyed, they will basically disintegrate into fake objects. Feng Xue often used this mechanism before to destroy and recast useless phantom objects.
However, there are a very few phantom objects that can accidentally obtain elements such as [Damage] and [Damage] after being damaged, but that situation is not only rare, but also useless.
But under the current situation, Feng Xue had to think one more step, that is——
"The [consciousness] that created these illusions should have been provided by this bad omen, which is equivalent to me tearing down the east wall of my house and patching up the west wall of my house, and then tearing down the west wall of my house to patch up the east wall, and patching it up back and forth. Now, both walls have been repaired, and there is actually a surplus. What kind of goal-dividing paradox is this?"
Feng Xue grinned, but then he thought of another question——
Why can't I print out the phantom test paper in any place other than the photocopying room?
He previously thought that the teaching building itself was an independent ghost story or phantom, or that there was some phantom similar to a rule book or school regulations, which stipulated that test papers must be printed in the photocopying room.
But now this bad omen has confirmed that the entire school, including the teaching building and dormitory building, and even the playground and a circle of facade rooms outside, fall within the scope of this bad omen. So why can only the photocopying room print papers?
He doesn't think this bad omen is smart enough to transport specific [consciousness] to a specific area.
"No, no, maybe I'm mistaken! It's like what activates the power of the phantom is not the will of the phantom itself. The ability of this ominous omen to create phantoms may not be its subjective consciousness, but some external force. arrange."
Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help but think about the senior who had not yet been resurrected, and vaguely felt that there might be some kind of conspiracy.
At the same time, Feng Xue remembered the ghost king when he visited the grave before.
"At that time, I thought that the Ghost King was going to turn into a ghost story, but I didn't know the specific method to change it into a conscious and ominous posture. But now I think about it, with his behavioral logic, the purpose from the beginning was probably to change It becomes a bad omen, or in other words, all the levels in this game are actually designed to create this kind of domain-type bad omen that can control the entire level."
Thinking of this, Feng Xue suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were suddenly connected. Maybe the reason why Infinite City can turn into an illusion is the same as the reason why the papers printed in the audio-visual room can turn into illusions?
But while figuring this out, another bigger bug was born.
When she saw the Ghost King before, Feng Xue thought that this senior wanted to create a ghost world similar to Infinite City in the human world by creating domain-type ghost stories, and let herself resurrect in this "Infinite City-like" ghost story and become a real ghost. A ghost story of the 'ancestral level of ghost stories'.
But now it seems that what the seniors want to build is not a strange story, but a bad omen.
Assuming that this senior was not unable to be resurrected due to some accident, but deliberately made such a big noise in an attempt to return in a more powerful way, then why did he choose the bad omen?
After all, even if there is no systematic education on ghost stories about things like bad omens (to be precise, only Infinite City has such education), you can still feel the strong contamination of any ghost stories. Even among those desperate Wus in Infinite City, only a handful would seek a chance of survival by incorporating bad omens. How could a powerful ghost story make such an unwise decision?
Although there is no clear answer yet, Feng Xue vaguely feels that the reason why this bad omen can continue to increase [consciousness] in a relatively closed cycle is probably the reason why this senior chose the bad omen.
So, is this reason related to the fact that "only the photocopying room can print papers"?
All the problems returned again, but Feng Xue suddenly felt that she might have vaguely touched on some key.
Are specific places and specific behaviors the correct way for phantoms to be born?
Thinking about it this way, isn't the so-called accompanying phantom of Kaitan just that Kaitan used this thing to do specific things at a specific time and in a specific place?
Does this mean that creating illusions with labels and using your own golden fingers to create illusions is essentially "evil"?
"Speaking of which, I had a similar feeling a long time ago. When recasting a real thing, the time and place, as well as the template used as the base for recasting, will all have an impact on the formation of the illusion.
"At the time, I thought it was the 'real factor' that couldn't be observed by Goldfinger that was affecting the results, but now that I think about it, the so-called real factor is actually, to put it bluntly, the ubiquitous cognition in reality, right?
"According to this logic, can we roughly think that places and behaviors with symbolic significance help to gather [consciousness]? And in an environment where [consciousness] is sufficient, corresponding phantoms can be easily born?"
As for why there are so many papers in this school...
"Perhaps it was all kinds of phantoms at first, but because the consumption of papers is the largest in the school, the probability of appearing is high, and the number is large. Among the "consciousness" that constitutes this bad omen, there are more parts belonging to the paper. The new papers produced are more likely to contain phantoms, and if things go on like this, there will be more and more papers."
All the clues are connected in Feng Xue's mind to form a complete logic, but this logic is still missing the last link——
How does [consciousness] proliferate?
This question is not difficult. After the overall logic is established, the answer becomes obvious:
"The process of students answering questions, the thoughts they put into it, their thinking about the questions, and their worries about their own grades are all [knowledge]!"
The story of pen immortals turning into monsters and the story of ghosts turning into monsters are completely two different situations.
Because the pen fairy is a derivative of fantasy objects, which is equivalent to one grain in the bag of infinite salt, or the poison that the ghost hand takes out for no reason, it is not part of the fantasy object in essence. Even if the pen fairy becomes a ghost story, the pen It's still a pen, and if you use it to play Pen Fairy, you might even be able to pull out a new Pen Fairy.
To give a simple example, it's like Yu-Gi-Oh's doppelgänger warrior...that is, the "two" of "Delete Two". His effect can pull two derivatives. These two derivatives can be used for synchronization, and they are summoned in sync. The monster has nothing to do with the Doppelgänger Warrior. If a card involving the effect of "summoning the synchro material used to summon this card" is activated, it will not involve the Doppelgänger Warrior.
To put it in more fantasy terms, it is normal for the summoning array to summon creatures, but it is outrageous for the summoning array to turn itself into a creature.
