497 The Flaw of the Dream
Since entering the Doomsday Hotel, Lin Chi has noticed the abnormality of this map:
Unlike ordinary game maps, there are very few NPCs in this map. Although there are many soldiers attacking in the apartment, there are only Zhen, an aboriginal NPC who was originally in the apartment.
In the dream space of "Doomsday Hotel", except for the "butcher" who kills people when they meet, other NPCs basically only appear in text prompts and records, and have never been exposed at all.
These indigenous people who live without seeing people but die without seeing corpses are really strange. The excessively perfect "Vincent" in Zhen's mouth made Lin Chi even more suspicious.
——According to Jen's description, Vincent should be a reliable gentleman with simple thoughts and always helps a lot at critical moments. In order to relax the residents of the apartment, he even took out a magical equipment such as the "Dream Manufacturing Machine".
——Isn’t this extremely reliable and flawless universal character setting a bit “convenient”?
Thinking of this, Lin Chi turned his head and looked at the girl who covered her eyes with a red cloth, and then frowned thoughtfully.
He always felt that things didn't seem as simple as it seemed:
Whether it is the Doomsday Hotel or the apartment that has been invaded by black soldiers many times, it exudes a strange sense of incongruity.
If you can find out the reason for this sense of incongruity, you may be able to figure out the secret of this map.
Lin Chi was frowning and thinking about the characteristics of this map. Zhen's voice interrupted his thoughts:
"We'd better leave quickly...that lunatic may be recovering..."
After reacting for a while, I realized that the other party was talking about "butcher". Lin Chi nodded and was about to leave, he asked casually: "Do you have photos of other residents in the apartment?"
"Well..." Zhen stood up and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I can't remember it."
Hearing this, Lin Chi always felt something was wrong, but he didn't say much. He just led the seemingly weak girl to sneak away from Room 207 and observe the situation in the corridor.
The big hole created by the butcher on the ceiling was still there, but the monster himself disappeared. Lin Chi did not continue to stay here, but just pulled the girl to the third floor, hid in Room 302, which was still burning, and avoided the butcher's previous patrol route.
When the butcher did not show up, the apartment was particularly quiet, and you could hear your heartbeat.
Although you can try to use a circular saw to cut the iron fence on the window, Lin Chi didn't do that. He just put down his weapon, stood in front of the girl in black, and looked down at the short girl "conquering" and looked down at the short girl.
Lin Chi can see that the key to the problem is probably the girl. After all, besides the butcher, she is the only NPC in this "Doomsday Hotel".
In addition, the girl's strange attitude was another reason why Lin Chi became suspicious. She didn't seem to have really lost her memory, but was more like she was bound by something.
——So, what is Zhen hiding? What does she have to do with this bloody dream space?
If you want to find out the truth, you should take a look at it yourself:
"Can I look at your eyes?" Lin Chi asked.
As soon as these words came out, Zhen was silent again.
Although she seemed a little reluctant, she said slowly: "Okay..."
Then, the girl pulled off the red cloth from her head, revealing her eyes that had been covered by the strips of cloth.
Her eyes were wide open, and she looked very strange without pupils. There was a light green light flashing in her eyes, like a robot infected with computer viruses.
Lin Chi stared at the girl's eyes and recalled the strange green light lit up on the other party's head when he first met a butcher. He suddenly realized that things seemed to be different from what he had thought before.
Her eyes seemed to have subtle similarities with the "butcher". It was she who easily stopped the butcher's actions just now. In addition, the girl could even see what every indigenous person in the apartment was thinking. Could it be...
Based on the situation in the apartment space, Lin Chi suddenly thought of some amazing inference.
Just as he was about to find a way to verify it, he heard heavy footsteps sounding in the corridor again.
"This guy is really dedicated." He complained.
The butcher wearing metal boots on his feet returned to the corridor on the third floor again. But this time, Lin Chi did not pick up the circular saw and fought with him. Instead, he reached out and stroked Zhen's forehead and whispered in a "gentle" voice: "Can you let the butcher leave here?"
"He is the automatic protection system of the Dream Manufacturing Machine. I can't turn it off just by myself..." Zhen shook his head decisively, but his voice was a little hesitant: "You need Vincent... maybe."
While speaking, the butcher's footsteps stopped in front of the door of Room 302. Even so, Lin Chi did not pick up the circular saw at his feet, but just continued to ask:
"You mean that gentle and gentleman, who can save people at critical moments, is extremely loyal to others, and even brings out a perfect genius like the black technology of the 'Dream Manufacturing Machine'?"
"Well, he is indeed like this..." A light green light flashed in Jane's eyes.
"But, is this person a little too ideal?" Lin Chi smiled.
"Ah?" Jen made a confused voice: "Do you think Vincent is strange?"
"No." Lin Chi shook his head and said meaningfully:
“I don’t think ‘Vincent’ exists at all.”
While he said this, a heavy shadow appeared in front of the bedroom again. The brutal butcher holding a big knife slowly walked over. The broken right arm had returned to normal again.
Lin Chi knew that in this dream space, the butcher could be reborn infinitely. But now, what he had to do was not fight, but a dangerous gambling.
——Although I don’t know if my guess is correct, now I can only bet once!
"I said, you should wake up too, right?" Lin Chi said loudly.
"Ah? I don't understand what you mean..." Zhen's voice was a little weak.
As if he had doubts about Lin Chi's words, the brutal butcher did not attack him, but just stood there motionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Facing the confused blind girl, Lin Chi suddenly lowered her voice: "Did you really not notice the origin of this place?"
"It's a virtual space created by a dream manufacturing machine." Zhen raised her head and blinked her godless eyes: "What's wrong with you? From the beginning, your condition was not right."
"Maybe my condition is indeed wrong. But - the reason why this dream space has become like this is because you are not in good condition."
Lin Chi said as he stepped forward, stood in front of the bloody butcher, and slowly told the amazing facts:
"In my opinion, this is not a dream space created by some instrument, but an illusion created by your deep consciousness."
"This virtual space is constructed by your consciousness, and all other 'Aboriginal people', including this butcher, are just fictional characters you imagined!"
Hearing this, Zhen widened her eyes and froze in place, like a horrified doll, slowly speaking: "You mean..."
"That's right, we are in your nightmare." Lin Chi said word by word.
