The room was quiet, thoughts were overflowing, water was dripping from the eaves, and Lu Xin's heart beat with the sound of dripping water.
Li Mang's murmur was like a spell, and she seemed to have returned to her dream, where unreality and reality were stacked, and disobedience and identity were distorted.
She touched her head, her eyes flickering, obviously she had not done anything, but a phantom appeared in front of her eyes, that was herself yesterday, standing here, holding a gun in her hand, her eyes firmly giving one after another in conclusion.
The meaning of the NPC theory is that the entire huge Bincheng has been shrouded in weirdness, and the people who have received the photos have experienced weirdness and are also protected by the weirdness. All people who have not received the photos are just like NPCs in the game. It's like a puppet, unable to have "ideas" about the person who owns the photo, and the most terrifying thing is...if the person who owns the photo kills the NPC, the NPC will be unable to struggle or resist.
Am I an NPC policeman now?
Lu Xin clenched her teeth unknowingly, and after a while, she opened her eyes again, trying to accept Li Mang's theory.
In fact, they don't have much time left.
"What about the rest of the conclusions?"
The hesitation in Lu Xin's pupils gradually faded away, and she had no time to doubt anymore. She lowered her eyelids, leaned forward, and stared at Li Mang.
Li Mang then said:
"Experimental conclusion 1: Photos represent tasks. You will be rewarded for completing the task, and you will be punished for failing the task. This is the task theory."
"Experimental conclusion two: Photos will distort public perception to achieve a predetermined effect. This is the reward theory."
Lu Xin previously reached three experimental conclusions after three days.
Lu Xin took a deep breath and got more and more content, but the shock in her mind became bigger and bigger, followed by fear and suffocation.
How ridiculous this all sounds. The entire Bincheng has become the largest NPC, and no one will believe it.
But as long as the photo Li Mang mentioned at the beginning is true, then everything that follows... is completely true.
They are now like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They can be killed anytime, anywhere because of a photo or a thought from the "players".
And in this photo, countless desperate and contentious people who were looking for it went to extremes when they collapsed.
So right now, among the countless deaths in Bincheng, it is suddenly unknown how many were suicides, how many were killed by Taoist immortals, and how many were affected by this strange power.
Lu Xin's voice was trembling. She still needed confirmation. The best case scenario was that the man in front of her was lying, but the worst case scenario was that she would lose her memory immediately and forget everything.
From today on, no one would relay these theories to him, and the only opportunity to discover something strange would slip through his fingers.
Calm down, be calm.
It was like a heavy mountain was pressing down on Lu Xin. At the moment, she was the only one who briefly built a bridge with Weirdness because of coincidence.
This opportunity must be seized.
"Where are today's photos? Show them to me."
Lu Xin took Li Mang's photo. The content of the photo was not complicated. The key point was Li Mang's silhouette. He took advantage of the setting sun and stabbed the black dog in front of him to death with his own hands.
There is still an hour until sunset.
Li Mang then said in a panic:
"The time is almost up, we have been discussing for too long today..."
"What should I do now? If I don't complete this task, I will definitely turn into a dog today."
"What should I do with my son? Will he still remember me..."
Li Mang asked Lu Xin for help in a panic. Fear occupied his mind. In fact, what he said had no content and would only affect Lu Xin. But Lu Xin did not interrupt him. She listened to Li Mang's despair while imagining A series of operations that may occur.
Why, why was Lu Xin so sure yesterday that Lu Xin would come up with a solution today?
Was what she said a stopgap measure to keep Li Mang from giving up, or had she really come up with a solution?
Can I really figure it out?
Lu Xin looked at the photo in her hand tremblingly, then raised her eyes suddenly and said:
"It's too late, let's prepare the materials for the photos first."
"well......"
Li Mang nodded, walked with difficulty, and then pointed to the door.
Dogs are not difficult to catch. The dogs in the photo squat at the door every day. Perhaps their common sense has been distorted, so that they died in vain.
Li Mang looked a little dazed as Lu Xin caught the dog into the house. He sobbed and kept saying:
"Officer Lu, let me turn into a human dog. I can't complete this mission..."
"You lead the circle and leave this home to go to other cities. I believe the ghost will distort his cognition, or he will think that his father is still working in Bincheng and can still grow up..."
"what's on your mind!"
Lu Xin stared at Li Mang fiercely, and these words made her a little angry.
"Do you think I'm just saving you? Do you think this disaster just befell your family?"
"Do you think escaping is useful? Don't think that danger can be avoided. When danger really comes, no one can escape. If you don't solve the problem, you will die and your son will die too."
"We need to calm down."
"Only you can help me now."
Lu Xin spoke word by word. She straightened her back and kept her police uniform from folding.
Then she said:
"I figured out a way."
Li Mang's eyes lit up, and time became increasingly urgent. He already felt the threat of death, and asked eagerly:
"What is the solution? Is there anything else we can do?"
"We've tried everything we can, PS, fake the scene... Is there anything else we can try?"
Lu Xin stood up, her eyes became a little indifferent, her throat was surging, her voice was trembling, and she pursed her lips. She hesitated, but she had no regrets.
Did I think the same way yesterday?
Lu Xin smiled, and then her eyes gradually became firm.
"Li Mang, are you sure this photo appeared when you were desperate?"
"Yes, and after time passes, you will completely forget this photo... You can't remember it at all, there is no solution at all..."
"No, there is another way, I can remember him."
"Li Mang! I now ask you, from Bincheng's perspective, to help me remember this fourth theory. If I fail, I must tell this fourth theory to as many victims as possible."
"They can remember."
Lu Xin said firmly:
"Experimenting the Fourth Conjecture: Anchor Point Theory."
"Only the victim can know the truth, and NPC can only feel the victim's words, so all victims are the anchor of every incident."
"We must have a heavy enough anchor to allow this frivolous truth to sink."
"Now for the fourth experiment."
"In the fourth experiment, Lu Xin, the captain of the Bincheng Shanglin District Police Station, will personally complete the tasks in the photo and become a victim."
"Thus becoming the anchor point for the sinking truth."
