I Became a God in a Horror Game: 73. Reality (second update)

After the boss took Mu Ke away, Mu Sicheng was already woken up.

He leaned lazily on the back of Bai Liu's chair, and Mu Sicheng put the coat that Bai Liu had given him on his shoulder. At first, Mu Sicheng strongly prevented Bai Liu from participating in the game, but he soon found out Considering Bai Liu's firm determination to participate in the competition, and considering Bai Liu's consistent style, Mu Sicheng felt that Bai Liu's determination to participate in the competition could not be easily shaken by him.

Mu Sicheng watched Bai Liu lure Mu Ke into the thief boat with cold eyes, but he fell asleep unhurriedly, because after he realized that he could not easily shake Bai Liu's mind, all Mu Sicheng could do was to tell Bai Liu seriously , he will not mess around with Bai Liu to participate in this extremely dangerous league.

However, the coat Bai Liu approved for him made Mu Sicheng's tone soften a lot: "Why, you tricked that little beauty into your boat?"

"Your name is Mu Ke, little beauty, are you gay?" Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng, "Mu Ke is sexually attractive to you?"

Mu Sicheng was choked instantly: "I'm a straight man!! Can't you understand the joke?!"

Bai Liu nodded casually: "I understand now, looking at you, do you have something you want to tell me?"

Before Mu Sicheng spoke, Bai Liu found a bench and sat opposite Mu Sicheng.

Bai Liu sat very comfortably and casually, but involuntarily brought a sense of oppression to Mu Sicheng, making Mu Sicheng go from being as lazy as boneless in Bai Liu's armchair to sitting up straight.

Bai Liu looked directly at Mu Sicheng indifferently: "I guess you want to tell me that you will never participate in this e-sports with us."

"Can you give me a reason to convince me?" Bai Liu leaned back on the desk, and tapped on the desk with his fingers, "Why don't you want to participate in this e-sports league?"

"The death rate is high, the risk is high, the number of people is not uniform, and the number of copies is not enough." Bai Liu asked several questions one after another, and he raised his eyes to look at Mu Sicheng, "You can leave all these to me, you just need to be responsible for participating That's it, do you have any other concerns?"

Mu Sicheng almost laughed at Bai Liu's calm and relaxed appearance.

If he was before a dungeon, he might have been fooled by Bai Liu's appearance of being in control of everything, but now Mu Sicheng is no longer the same Mu Sicheng as before. After a dungeon, Mu Sicheng is a little bit You know Bai Liu's personality now - that's because he's a big gambler.

Even if the success rate is very low, as long as the income is high enough, Bai Liu dares to try.

"These are the main issues I worry about." Mu Sicheng said in a rare serious tone, "Bai Liu, the league is really not a joke, the player death rate is very high, you don't have to give up your real life for this game, although This game can indeed bring a lot of things. With your strength, you can earn points slowly, which is more secure. Apart from games, you always have to make some retreats for real life..."

"Really real life?" Bai Liu repeated this sentence in a low voice with unknown meaning. He waited calmly for Mu Sicheng to finish his persuasion, and then asked irrelevantly: "What do you think of Mu Sicheng?" How about the single-player game that Ke cleared last round?"

Mu Sicheng was taken aback, he didn't expect Bai Liu to mention this suddenly, but Bai Liu did talk to Mu Ke about this just now, Mu Sicheng was sleepy at the time, but he also listened to it.

Muke's last round of customs clearance is called "The Day of Leaving School", which is a single-player game with a Japanese-style campus background.

The content of the game is not what attracts Mu Sicheng's attention the most, what attracts Mu Sicheng's attention more is——

——Muke said that the school in it has a prototype. It is a private high school he studied in Japan. It used to be haunted because a girl committed suicide by jumping off a building, and many students died intermittently afterwards.

In the dormitory where Mu Ke lived, except for him, everyone died in various bizarre ways. This is also an important reason why Mu Ke confuses the game and reality and comes out with injuries—the high school in the game The setting is exactly the same as the high school he attended.

This is also very similar to what Bai Liu and the others experienced - the prototype of "The Last Train Exploding" is the last train that exploded that Bai Liu got into by mistake.

Mu Sicheng was silent for two seconds: "I don't think it's such a coincidence that two consecutive games have prototypes in reality."

"Yes, I think so too."

"So I personally feel that there are three possible ways to explain this." Bai Liu pulled out a piece of paper from his desk.

Bai Liu is used to writing down when he has thoughts, especially now that Bai Liu has confirmed that their memories can be tampered with to deceive people at will.

Because the words written with specific information will be disappeared by [Forbidden Words], so Bai Liu only extracted some simple keywords and wrote them down. Look, Bai Liu's tone of explanation is very steady:

"I tend to think that many games in this game have prototype events in reality, but some people know the prototype and some people don't. For example, you and I both know the prototype of the mirror city bombing, because we are all in the mirror city, but obviously Zhang Puppet doesn’t know about it, and Mu Ke said about the haunted Japanese high school, he knows about it, but you and I don’t know about it.”

"But the question is, how are the real [prototypes] of these design games selected?"

Bai Liu wrote a [scene selection] on the paper:

"The first possibility is that the game randomly selects scenes and events in reality as a prototype to design a horror game, but judging from the Jingcheng bombing and the haunted Japanese high school, the selection of the game is obviously biased. It will choose a tragedy that is originally horrific to design the game, so this possibility is not high, pass."

Bai Liu wrote down the words [source of inspiration] on the paper again, and continued:

"The second possibility is that the game will select the tragedies and supernatural locations experienced by the player as prototypes to design the game. You and I both know that the game can delete and modify people's memories. Is it possible that the game can also read the player's memory? memory, and draw inspiration from the player's memory, and use the player's memory as a reference to construct the game."

“This makes it easy for players to bring into horror games to a certain extent, and the scenes are more realistic. For example, the train scene settings in the last few minutes of the second copy are exactly the same as I remember. It is actually very difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion."

Mu Sicheng crossed his arms in thought, and tapped his index finger on the arm of the other hand: "I think the second possibility you mentioned is already more reasonable in deduction, and I am inclined to this one." What about the third possibility you mentioned?"

"No, but there is a very big loophole in this possibility, that is, the logic of the timeline is wrong." Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked directly at Mu Sicheng, "Do you remember when we played the "Burst Last Train"?" Does it exist?"

Mu Sicheng was taken aback, and he recalled: "It seems to be a long time, right? I've been there since I went in."

Bai Liu calmly reminded Mu Sicheng: "But the Jingcheng bombing happened this year, which means that the game "Burst Last Train" was earlier than "Jingcheng Bombing". Games based on bombings already exist, Mu Sicheng, do you understand what this means?"

Mu Sicheng's expression began to change, he seemed to realize something, and slowly looked at Bai Liu, who continued to speak calmly:

"This shows that we have made a mistake in the reference prototype, and it is not that "The Last Train of Explosion" refers to "The Explosion of Jingcheng". The game "Last Train"."

After saying this, Bai Liu wrote down the four words [Testing Phase] on the paper.

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu's unwavering eyes, as if his head had been poured down by a basin of ice water, he stared stiffly at the four words written by Bai Liu on the paper, the cold air waved from behind Bodi popped up, and Mu Sicheng's hands trembled a little, as if he had been shocked to the extreme. He understood Bai Liu's meaning, but it also made him look at the words written by Bai Liu on the table paper, unable to understand. Confidently retorted: "How is this possible?!"

Using an in-game term to describe Mu Sicheng's current state is that his mental value has dropped below the safety line.

Bai Liu's tone is calm: "When each game is developed to the end, there will be a version called the public beta version. Simply put, it is for partial public testing and will not be open to all players."

"If we are satisfied with the response of some players in a certain copy, we will put this game copy in the official game, and open this game copy to everyone, which is the final official version of the game."

Bai Liu opened his eyelids: "The third possibility I guess, is that the game and the reality we live in are the beta version and the official version of a game respectively."

"The game is to test the reaction of our selected local players to a certain dungeon. If [the system] is satisfied with our performance in this game dungeon, the corresponding game will be released into our reality. Open to everyone and become the official version."

"For example, if "The Last Train" is put into reality, it is "Mirror City Explosion", and "The Day of Leaving School" is put into reality, it is the Japanese high school that Mu Ke attended before. Generally speaking, but Just two different versions of the same horror game."

"In other words." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng without any emotion in his eyes, "Our world is not safe, and we will be released into the official version of horror games in the system at any time."

"If this is the case, the meaning of the real life you are pursuing, Mu Sicheng, is no different from surviving in the game, so I don't think you need to refuse a competition for your so-called real life."

"Because the reality you are in is just a game competition that you can't see."
