"Where is this...?"
In the haze, Chen An opened his eyes. He felt dizzy, as if someone had hit him with a heavy object.
【Dizziness】
Chen An looked around. He touched his head. It didn't hurt. He was in a small village in the mountains and forests. The village was low and the houses were dilapidated. There were villagers walking nearby. At a glance, there were seven or eight of them. They were in ragged clothes. , eyes were cloudy, some were washing clothes, and some were beating some green vegetation with sticks.
[No pain] [Village] [Mountain] [House] [Low] [Shabby] [Seven or eight people] [Ragged clothes] [Muddy eyes] [Washing for clothes] [Hitting with a stick] [Green vegetation]
Chen An was startled for a moment. He took a breath. The turbidity in his mind still existed, as if he drank too much last night. He shook his body and subconsciously realized that the spiritual power in his body still existed. Then, he suddenly came back to his senses. Come.
Yes, I am in a world with level 3 pollution sources!
Professor Yang, how is he?
Chen An looked around vigilantly, and at the same time, the light blue spiritual fluctuations in his body were always ready to use "Travel" if there was any danger.
All around, villagers were taking actions one after another. Every time they moved, Chen An felt the dizziness in his mind getting deeper.
[The villager goes left] [He stands up] [Goes to pick fruits]
Chen An looked at the actions of the villagers, but did not see any familiar faces. He took a deep breath. The battle just now was vivid in his mind. Professor Yang was crushed twice by the rules. Unfortunately, it was not like 0.5+0.5=1.
But even so, Chen An was certain that Professor Yang must have been seriously injured.
The punishment after weird "violations" is no joke. Normal violations are wiped out like "Li Zimu of Jingshan Hospital", and half of such violations... are enough to severely damage it.
So, before he was completely seriously injured, did he use the power of this pollution source world to forcefully separate himself from players like Yin Qiaoxian and Jiang Yixue?
Chen An frowned slightly. He repeated the rules mentioned by Professor Yang. They were true, and they were what he must pay attention to and remind himself of at all times.
Rule zero, don’t take a word from anyone on the island.
Rule 1: The power of corruption and inaction cannot fall directly on the player.
Rule 2: The limit of weirdness on players is not two or four, but "three" as the core concept.
Rule 3: If you don’t hurt the villagers, the villagers won’t hurt you, including their hearts.
Rule 4: When night falls, don’t stay in a confined space.
Rule 5: If someone tells you that they are your mother, believe it.
Rule 6: When you feel scared, go to 84 degrees 64 minutes north latitude and 52 degrees 44 minutes west longitude.
Rule 7: What we did in the past will be what we pay in the future. We all have to bear the price for our past actions. This is as it should be.
Rule 8: Human courage is the hymn to break through the darkness, and the courage to face the truth is the real hope.
...
Chen An thought about the meaning of these rules. Zero means that people on any island cannot be trusted. One means that they are weird and cannot directly harm the players. The meaning of two should be paid attention to "three". I don't quite understand this yet, but keep it in mind. Can.
Three, that is, telling yourself not to hurt the villagers. The heart here refers to sadness?
Four, it's better to be in the wild when it's dark. Five, because if you don't believe the villagers saying "I am your mother", it will hurt the villagers' hearts, so you and Three will take care of each other?
Sixth, 84 degrees 64 minutes north latitude and 52 degrees 44 minutes west longitude. Maybe this is a place to clean up pollution. Of course, you need a map or something that can detect the direction.
The meaning of seven is very vague. Does it make people bear their own past mistakes? Does it mean illusory guidance, or what?
8. The finishing touch of the rule system often has a very important meaning, but it is vague and has no specific direction.
As a "traveler", Chen An had a very good memory. He walked gently into the wild, avoiding the villagers, and his spiritual fluctuations spread, searching for "traces". It was an agreement that everyone had made before, if they got separated or were separated, How to find each other’s “signals”.
Chen An avoided the bushes and grass blades, and opened the bushes, analyzing every possible abnormal smell.
In the process, he couldn't help but accept more information that was not "information before coma".
[The position of the leaves] [Pull open the bushes] [Where to take each step] [Here] [Here] [Here] [Is there any smell here? 】
And, new conjectures generated now about previously "already known information".
Chen An frowned slightly, and the dizziness in his mind still existed. This groggy feeling made him very uncomfortable. This feeling caused his spiritual perception to fluctuate, which seemed to indicate something.
What does it portend?
In my heart, an inexplicable sense of crisis emerged. This is the "sixth sense" naturally produced by the human body after experiencing many life and death crises. It is a premonition and sign of unknown danger.
Chen An knows that he may not be able to move forward like this. The world of pollution sources is full of crises and traps. He has not violated the rules, which only means that his life will not be in danger.
But the power of "degeneration and inaction" cannot directly fall on himself and others.
Um?
Yes, but you can rely on the medium to descend, just like your own pigeon was trivialized by Professor Yang with the ability of an "ordinary person". Due to the restrictions of [Rule 1: The power of depravity and inaction cannot directly descend on the player], It's not rigid.
Chen An thought of this and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
He is a person who is very good at finding clues related to the present from what happened in the past. Past experiences should be the treasure trove of today.
After all, if a person had no experiences, there would be no present. It can be said that people’s past experiences and thinking have shaped who they are today.
If it were Lao Linshan, even if it was Jingshan Hospital, when faced with this kind of pollution source, Chen An's spirit would be extremely tense and always on the verge of collapse. He is an ordinary person who keeps sinking into fear in a desperate situation with no hope. and in the abyss of confusion.
But after experiencing so much, Chen An can now acknowledge all of this happening relatively lightly and think rationally without interference.
Chen An first threw out a few "travel" markers. These were his "marks" and the "signal" for other teammates to find him.
Then, he thought:
"In Laolin Mountain, the path of weird pollution is special, with the weird properties of "red", as well as "warmth" and "coldness". The media are two weird sides, namely "the mountain god representing warmth" and "representing coldness" "The Smiling Rabbit", these two kinds of weirdness check and balance each other to form a way to survive. "
Chen An sat cross-legged and squinted his eyes slightly. Everything around him was quiet, and the sounds of villagers talking, washing, and sparse movements could be heard in the distance.
The mountain forest is very quiet, and there seems to be no danger coming, and the spiritual danger signs are not triggered, but the dizziness is always present.
"Jingshan Hospital, the contamination medium is "very strange", and the cognitive tampering is "animal-faced people". "
"In Happy Town, the medium of pollution is the happiness we long for in our hearts, thus blinding ourselves."
"Then, in this world of the island god, what is the strange medium that contaminates players?"
Is it...dizziness?
Chen An closed his eyes, and the spiritual fluctuations spread into the sea of soul. It was a familiar island, floating in the ocean of subconsciousness, and an island of consciousness floating in the depths of the ocean of subconsciousness.
There are three coffins there, two of them are empty, and only one coffin represents his "second personality", in which his soul sleeps.
Chen An appeared naked in the world of self-awareness and came to the island.
The island is familiar yet unfamiliar, and every plant and tree on it represents the "memory" and "memory" in my consciousness.
The mixture of "understanding" is the concrete manifestation of bits and pieces of one's past in the world of consciousness.
Chen An stepped on the snow-white sand and walked towards the coffin. One of the empty coffins was originally used to contain Chen Sheng.
Chen An looked at the coffin, a little lost in thought. Chen Sheng was no longer there. He was...
Um?
Chen An was suddenly startled. He looked blankly at the deepest coffin. That coffin existed independently in the innermost place, where his original personality should exist.
Can...
In that coffin, I was originally lying,
who is it?
Chen An took a step back, suppressing the uncontrollable panic rising in his heart, and forced himself to calm down.
Chen Sheng, after the Ruandu incident, was taken away by a man, taken away by his original self.
Damn it!
Why can't I remember that person's name?
Who was your original self?
As Chen An recalled it, he discovered with some horror that although the man's figure existed in this memory, it had become blurry.
No, no!
Chen Sheng reminded himself of this when he first arrived in Soft City!
It was at that time...
where?
on the street?
villa?
wrong!
Chen An's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly looked around, carefully distinguishing the difference between this place and when he came before.
The difference is very small! It's a slight difference, but as a traveler, your memory should not be confused in any way!
I can't remember my "original self" and many memories from my time in the soft capital. Is it because of the special nature of that "original self"?
Or...
Have you been contaminated?
When did you get infected?
Chen An's consciousness incarnation trembled slightly, with fluctuations like an old television set, which meant that his consciousness was violently agitated at this moment, causing the avatar to become unstable.
The surrounding islands must have fewer plants and trees than when I was meditating in Wenwan a while ago.
Chen An walked to a nearby bush and squatted down. A few of the leaves were covered with pale silk threads, as if covered with frost!
And this is not reality, but the depth of one's own consciousness.
Chen An felt that if this place were reality, his teeth might be chattering slightly.
At this moment, Chen An even doubted whether he should "think" about this matter.
If thinking becomes a behavior that cannot exist, it is tantamount to asking players to die.
No, rules will not deny you a path in life.
Chen An's conscious incarnation suddenly drifted away, following his own thoughts and breaking away from this subconscious ocean.
He opened his eyes and saw the familiar mountains and forests before him.
The plants and trees in front of me came into view, and the dizziness came over me again.
"Are these plants and trees eating away at me?"
Chen An was suspicious. He stood up and looked at the village behind him, because there was some aura of depravity coming from that direction.
Sure enough, in the village, a little girl wearing linen clothes, bare feet, and wearing rabbit ears on her head was running towards him!
"When will you stop being yourself!" Chen An suddenly shouted.
Yin Qiaoxian quickly said: "When he comes to me."
This is one of the secret codes he and Yin Qiaoxian agreed on, because it is not ruled out that there will be something weird like Dalinshan, imitating the appearance of the player.
Therefore, only by telling the deepest secrets for players can we reduce the possibility of "counterfeiting".
"Xue Yue'er, what are you wearing in Ruandu?" Chen An shouted again.
Yin Qiaoxian was stunned. She recalled that when she was in Ruandu Villa, Xue Yuer maliciously occupied her body and secretly watched "The Self-cultivation of a Maid".
Then the days of wearing maid uniforms.
The feeling of shame hit her, making her face turn red, but her voice was crisp: "Maid outfit, black stockings."
Chen An breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
"You are you, but I got tricked."
Yin Qiaoxian had already run in front of Chen An. She took a breath and continued to spread the "Evil Fallen" aura belonging to the "Evil Fallen". There were tiny threads stuck to the ground. Ordinary people would fall into emotions when they touched it. Troughness, this is one of the abilities of the evil fallen, and it is also a signal to identify the yinqiaoxian.
"Me too." Yin Qiaoxian's voice was a little bitter. She raised her little face with a bit of panic on her eyebrows. This unknown fear of being contaminated even though she had done nothing, would make anyone panic.
Because they really did nothing but think.
"I've forgotten a lot. I don't remember my parents' faces. I don't remember who the other person who was with me in the capital was except you, Sister Luo Ying, and who was my sister." Yin Qiaoxian said quickly.
"It's Ding Ping." Chen An said, "The player I met at Jingshan Hospital is Ding Ping."
"Ding Ping?"
Yin Qiaoxian repeated it, but his brows looked blank.
"Ding Ping...who is it?"
Yin Qiaoxian's voice trembled a little. The forgetfulness of this memory, or the unknown of being deprived of it, made her feel panicked.
Chen An's heart sank. The forgetting of this kind of memory is a terrible thing. He doesn't know whether the forgotten memory can return. And if a person does not have the past, the current self will no longer be the current self.
"Calm down." Chen An hugged Yin Qiaoxian's shoulders. Even though he couldn't calm down, he still said in a low voice: "What did you see after you woke up? What did we do? There must be a pattern here. .”
[Look for patterns] [What did you do] [Saw Yin Qiaoxian] [Ask a question]
Yin Qiaoxian came back to her senses and said quickly: "I woke up in the wild. I followed the agreed release signal and looked for other people at the same time. I walked in the wild and soon saw a villager washing clothes. She was an aunt, and then I felt the imprint of your travel. As you demonstrated to me before, the link between the air there and the spiritual world is slightly different.
I came over and passed by that village and saw you. "
Chen An nodded. The problem might have arisen in the village.
"Walk!"
Chen An suddenly grabbed Yin Qiaoxian's arm, and the light blue spiritual waves spread. He wanted to escape from the village!
The only thing he and Yin Qiaoxian have in common is that they both passed by a village. It is very likely that that village, or those villagers, are the medium for the strange release of "pollution"!
The two figures suddenly disappeared, and the next moment they appeared in the wilderness two hundred meters away.
Chen An calmed down. He looked at the distant places around him and could see a central watchtower. That was the center of the island, which was written on the previous map.
Chen An looked around. Except for trees, shrubs, the creek on the side, and the houses further away, there was no human habitation here. It was safe for the time being.
[Trees] [Shrubs] [House] [Stream] [Watchtower] [Travel]
Immediately afterwards, Chen An untied the ribbon binding the Smiling Rabbit around his waist, letting the Smiling Rabbit wake up.
"Xiao Xiaoxiao, we have encountered an unprecedented crisis. This is what happened..."
Chen An looked at the awakened Smiling Rabbit and was talking quickly, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Yin Qiaoxian on the side was stunned for a moment, thinking something had happened, and suddenly became alert.
But the next moment, Chen An pulled Fairy Queen Yinqiao back two steps. He pointed at the Laughing Rabbit and said in shock: "What is this?"
The Laughing Rabbit was stunned. It stretched out its puppet head and scratched its head. Its ruby-like eyes shone with a strange luster, and its mouth, which was sewn with silk threads, opened and closed slightly.
"Hiss...hiss..."
The Laughing Rabbit makes a sound, and this rabbit language can be understood by the master who is connected with him.
But Chen An didn't seem to understand it at all. Instead, Tong
Kong Yining's spiritual fluctuations spread, and he threw a panic box in his hand towards the Laughing Rabbit!
At the same time, light blue spiritual fluctuations spread, and before Yin Qiaoxian could say anything, she took her on a "travel"!
The figures of the two disappeared, leaving only the Laughing Rabbit, whose puppet body was blown apart by the pigeon's explosion. The body was covered with colorful confetti bursting out from the pigeon, and the rabbit's face was circled.
"Hiss?"
...
"This place is more dangerous than we thought. Is that thing just now... the original weirdness of this pollution source?"
The figures of Chen An and Yin Qiaoxian appeared two hundred meters away. Chen An took a breath and gasped again.
Yin Qiaoxian looked at Chen An: "Is that the Smiling Rabbit?"
Chen An nodded, feeling a little uneasy on his brows, and he felt the dizziness in his mind getting stronger.
"The Smiling Rabbit, this name fits its temperament. It's scary and ferocious, with a face like a dwarf, eh? Do you know this kind of weirdness? Have you seen it before?" Chen An looked at Yin Qiaoxian, slightly surprised. .
Yin Qiaoxian seemed to have seen a ghost. She took a step back, swallowed again, stared at Chen An, and said:
"Chen An... The Smiling Rabbit is your companion who has always been by your side, ever since we met."
"my buddy?"
As Yin Qiaoxian nodded affirmatively and her face slowly turned pale, Chen An felt an inexplicable fear.
"You mean, I forgot about the existence of the Laughing Rabbit?"
"Just now...you took Xiaoxiao out of your waist and woke him up. You were about to say something to him, but halfway through, you..."
Yin Qiaoxian repeated, her face became paler and paler. This weird feeling of forgetting past memories made her a little distracted.
"Chen An, have you ever thought about this possibility? If next, we forget each other and I no longer remember you rescuing me from Luma Village, will we not know each other?"
"Deer Horse Village?"
"Yes, if we forget how we first met, then we become strangers. How will we clear this game?"
"But didn't we... first meet in... Soft Capital?"
