This chapter is a review and decryption of the Rose Hotel incident.
The prototype background of this strange incident is actually a tragic hotel fire.
Let’s talk about men first.
The man who appears on every floor is the "flame" at the fire scene, which indicates that all floors are on fire. Men are masculine and represent fire. There are no eyes in the hole, which means that in front of the fire, no matter you are a high-ranking official, a rich person, or an ordinary poor person, you will be treated equally. If you don't make a distinction, you will be blind because you have no eyesight, so you have no eyes. We often say that fire is as ruthless as wild beasts, so the man's face is ferocious and terrifying.
Although humans have mastered the use of fire for thousands of years, they still retain the primitive animal instinct of fear of fire, so that fear is irresistible.
The flames burned and twisted upward, so the man raised his arms high, twisted his body, and "danced." When the fire is small at first, it naturally moves very slowly, but when the fire gets really big, the speed is naturally not slow.
The man was wearing a five-layer suit. The red color represented the high temperature and the burned parts of that floor, while the black color represented the relatively low-temperature areas that had not yet burned. The fact that there is still a black part means that there is still a chance to survive on that floor, but the men's clothes on the sixth floor are all red, which means that the entire sixth floor has been engulfed in flames, and there is no room for anyone to survive. Therefore, only the men on the sixth floor were restless and actively showed the desire to attack Ye Feng and Xia Yimo. After all, there was no room for anyone to survive on the sixth floor, and the fire was going to devour human lives.
By the way, as time goes on, after 12 o'clock, the five suits of men on all floors will turn red, and the flames of the fire will eventually devour the lives of everyone who has not successfully escaped. It's no use just hiding in the room without coming out. Only by clearing the level can you survive. This is the eternal truth of mysterious rules and weirdness.
Secondly, let’s talk about the “woman” in brackets.
Women actually symbolize water. Women are yin and gentle like water, so the metaphor is correct. Where women's clothes were scattered in the corridor, whether on the floor or on the walls, were fire hydrants and fire extinguishers. In fact, there are clothes on every floor. After all, every floor should have fire-fighting equipment. However, if the fire is too large, it can destroy the fire-fighting facilities. At the same time, if there are not enough fire-fighting facilities, the fire cannot be extinguished. The metaphor in the story is that you have to collect enough women's clothing to be recognized as the woman with brackets and the water that has the power to put out the fire. After all, how can a fire extinguisher put out a huge fire? How can you be recognized as a woman when you are only wearing a women's skirt? At most, he would be regarded as a pervert with a fetish for cross-dressing.
That's why Ye Feng chose the third floor where the man in the red suit was located, which was the floor with the smallest fire. Because that's where the most women's clothing is likely to be, as well as the firefighting facilities that can still be used. There should be nothing left on the sixth floor, which is why the sixth floor is the first one without high heels on the wall.
Finally, I will explain some minor issues.
"February 17, 1989" is the time when the prototype fire of the story occurred.
Doors and windows cannot be opened, that’s because in reality, anti-theft windows often become fatal windows in the event of a fire. The fact that the stairs cannot be used actually implies that the fire escape is not blocked.
As for why the lobby on the first floor disappears, it is because you can basically escape from the fire scene by escaping to the lobby on the first floor. It is no longer in the game, so the first floor must disappear.
"It's summer and the air conditioner is broken" seems to explain the reason for the hot weather in the corridor. In fact, the purpose is to prevent the parties concerned from considering the temperature in the direction of fire. It is a smoke bomb.
Other tenants will sing, and the singing is not singing in the usual sense, but the cry for help and wailing of the tenants who are trapped in the fire room and unable to escape, and some are screams of death. This is also the reason why Xia Yimo would feel dizzy and nauseous after hearing the singing, and his eyes would shed tears, because that is a sign of losing his mind, which is also the SAN value. Although singing can convey happiness and infect others, screams and wails can also convey fear. After Ye Feng understood this at that time, he was deeply disgusted with the bad taste of the person behind the scenes.
The basis of the contagion of fear is the uncontrollable fear in your heart. This is also the reason why Ye Feng did not feel dizzy, nauseous, or have tears in his eyes.
As for why it is okay to wash your face with a towel, is it not common sense to cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel at a fire scene to prevent excessive smoke from entering the mouth and nose?
And Ye Feng also realized from this incident: The tentacles of those monsters from the 10th dimension have actually penetrated into the world quietly in places and corners that people can't see. So the parasitic king Gu like Chi Yueling is also an example of this.
So back to the most basic question. In terms of power, compared to the monsters of the 10th dimension, humans in the virtual world, especially the lowest 3.5-dimensional Burial Star, are insulting the monsters of the 10th dimension by saying they are ants compared to giant beasts. them. Ye Feng, who has reached that level of power, is very clear about this.
Why are such beings interested in the weak beings on the Burial Star? Is there any connection between this and "heaven"? Ye Feng didn't know at this moment.
But Ye Feng knew that the group of monsters in the 10th dimension definitely came with malicious intent. The evidence is a copy of this rule weirdo. Because this copy is destined to be sacrificed.
Just imagine, water can extinguish a fire, but after extinguishing the fire, will you recycle the water? Even if you want to, how do you recycle what is consumed by evaporation? So what if this is replaced by a human being? What do you think the result will be?
In fact, there is only one result, water and fire perish together. Of course, as long as you are not a fool or an idiot, no matter how I exaggerate the sad atmosphere in the book or deceive you readers, Ye Feng, as the first male protagonist of this book, will definitely not die. This is common sense and there is nothing to hide. .
After all, no matter how great your novel is, if the protagonist dies in the first chapter and never appears again in the finale, is he still the protagonist? He's clearly a clown! Even if you press the reader's head and say that the clown is the protagonist, the only result is that you, the author, are the clown.
Only a character like Ye Feng would not die, but what if it was an ordinary person? How many can survive? If Ye Feng were replaced by another smart ordinary person, he would have to be sacrificed to save Xia Yimo. What if this time, Xia Yimo is the one to clear this weird rule story? So what's the result? After passing the level, you still have to die together.
So from the beginning, those guys in the 10th dimension had no good intentions at all.
