Eternal Night

Chapter 374 Control
(PS: Today is also an extra chapter, and there will be another one in the evening. This is the first time that this book has completed the extra chapter for the leader who did not have time to add an extra chapter in the previous book.)
According to what Beelzebub said, quantum suicide singularity technology is an extremely idealistic theory that places great emphasis on self-awareness and the ultimate anthropic principle.

In the parallel universe space-time fragment scene it constitutes, what is displayed is the past that exists in self-cognition, not just memory, because memory can be modified and tampered with, but the "I" as an individual is unique in the entire world, and quantum suicide with this as an anchor point is feasible.

But Wu Xianxiao is different. He is the "I" of Wu Xianxiao, but not the original Wu Xianxiao. He is not the self anchored in this scene, but the latest and last Wu Xianxiao in countless iterations, so he creates some bugs in logic, cause and effect, fate, and time and space.

He both belongs to and does not belong to this closed-loop scenario; he is an exception among exceptions.

Beelzebub said it very clearly. Before Wu Xianxiao appeared, the three of them had already begun to become confused, and their memories and selves began to dissolve. But when Wu Xianxiao appeared, the three of them immediately became independent again, and their selves began to become more and more stable.

The mere existence of Wu Xianxiao has a fatal anti-loop effect on this closed loop.

"...In other words, I can get away from here without doing anything?" Wu Xianxiao talked to the phone while walking.

Beelzebub said on the other end: "As long as you don't feel your self dissolving, and feel that the real experience of Gaia is a dream, that is an illusion, and everything here is real, then the third possibility is the highest. Theoretically, you don't have to do anything. Over time, your anti-closed loop effect will penetrate into the underlying logical structure, and then the whole world will naturally collapse, but..."

"But?" Wu Xianxiao felt something in his arms, then he remembered that he had given all his cash to the person whose cell phone he stole. Now he had no money at all and didn't even have money to buy a pancake from the street.

He could only shake his head and continue walking towards home.

"But the time is uncertain. It could be dozens of days, or hundreds of days. It depends on the stability of this parallel space-time scene, that is, the degree of mastery of the quantum suicide singularity technology by the final product... In short, this is a passive wait for time to pass." Beelzebub said.

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and said, "What if I take the initiative to participate?"

Beelzebub said: "If you actively participate, it will definitely collapse faster. For example, you can interact with your parents and relatives as Wu Xianxiao, and then go to school... By the way, you have graduated from college, right?"

Wu Xianxiao frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Yes, I remember graduating from college, but my memory is incomplete. I only know that my ALS developed very quickly and I was frozen at the age of 5, which was on May 11th... What you mean is that you can participate in my worldview after recovery as the original Wu Xianxiao?"

Beelzebub said, "Yes. The deeper your participation, the faster your anti-closed-loop nature will penetrate into the world structure."

Wu Xianxiao was thinking as he walked. After a while, he said, "I don't want to play the original Wu Xianxiao. That thing is too bad. I can't learn it..."

Beelzebub immediately smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? Just be yourself now. Who asked you to act? Acting is weird, right? Just act according to your personality. Besides... your parents are good people. Just spend more time with them these days."

Wu Xianxiao didn't say anything, just looked up at the sky, hummed, hung up the phone, and threw the phone into the trash can next to him.

Parents...

The parents in Wu Xianxiao's memory, the parents he wanted to resurrect, and the parents who are alive now and have real feelings for him, these three seem to gradually overlap.

There was something Wu Xianxiao wanted to ask, but he didn't.

If... he broke this closed-loop real world, then what about the parents in this world?
Wu Xianxiao just remained silent and then walked towards home.

At this moment, the family was in an uproar. The parents discovered that Wu Xianxiao was missing early in the morning. They first confirmed that Zhizhi was indeed at school. After checking the house surveillance, they found that Wu Xianxiao had indeed left alone early in the morning, and he also took some cash from the house. He had not been seen until noon, and the couple immediately had a bad feeling.

"...ran away from home!?" An Rongzhi paced back and forth in the hall, she kept muttering: "His illness came quickly and healed inexplicably. This morning we had a video call with experts in related fields, and after looking at the data, they all said it was impossible. Maybe it was some kind of lurking danger? And now he just happened to run away from home, what should we do..."

Wu Qingxin said angrily, "Let him go! I just told him to behave like a human being, but he went to his sister's room late at night. Is that how he behaves like a human being? Let him go! Don't come back if he leaves!"

An Rongzhi was also sighing, she was almost crying.

At this time, a housekeeper came running from outside and said anxiously: "Mr. Wu, Master Wu has been found!"

The couple looked at the housekeeper at the same time, and then walked towards the gate at the same time. As expected, they saw Wu Xianxiao walking in from the gate on his own. An Rongzhi was the first to greet him, pulling Wu Xianxiao's sleeve and said, "You ran out so early in the morning. Don't you know how serious your illness is? Also, we were a little heavy-handed last night. We were worried..."

"fine."

The swelling on Wu Xianxiao's face had begun to subside. He patted his mother's hand and said, "I know."

"you do not know!"

Wu Qingxin also stepped forward and shouted angrily, "You knew you would run out so early in the morning? And you took a stack of money. Are you going to visit your friends? Or are you going to do something? I tell you, I have confiscated all your cards. I can't give them to you now! Tell me, what did you go out for so early in the morning!" Wu Xianxiao nodded to his father and said, "Well, it's not needed. As for going out... I guess he went to save the world."

Wu Qingxin was stunned, and immediately laughed out of anger, but he did not do anything. He just said to Wu Xianxiao: "Do you think your mother and I are old-fashioned people who don't understand the second dimension or otaku culture? Let me tell you, when we were playing the second dimension and otaku culture, you were not even born yet!"

Wu Xianxiao spread his hands helplessly. He turned to An Rongzhi and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. Give me more meat. I want to eat meat."

An Rongzhi agreed immediately, but still muttered: "Your illness is still uncertain, so you should not eat too greasy food. I'll ask Uncle Wang to cook something lighter for you?"

Wu Xianxiao said indifferently: "The taste can be light, but I want to eat big fish and meat, and take more tonics. Don't worry, mom, I know my body very well."

After saying that, he walked directly into the room.

The couple looked at each other, and Wu Qingxin muttered, "This kid... when did he become so powerful? But he really looks like my son. Go, get some more food. I want to see how much he can eat."

How much can a martial arts master who is regaining control of his body eat in one meal?

Wu Xianxiao put down the rice bowl and looked at the empty bowls on the table. He reached out and picked up the last thigh bone, biting it off in one bite. Then he swallowed it all up in a few bites. Then he picked up a large bottle of juice and drank it all. Then he slowly stood up and said, "Dad, I remember you collected a few swords, right?"

Wu Qingxin and An Rongzhi were still in a daze. They witnessed the birth of a big eater with their own eyes. The table was full of food, enough to feed at least seven or eight adult men, but after Wu Xianxiao's sudden rush, even the soup was completely eaten up by him.

"...This, you've eaten too much! Your stomach will be broken!" An Rongzhi then shouted loudly.

Wu Xianxiao patted his stomach and said, "No, it digests quickly, and its digestion efficiency is much better than that of ordinary people. It will be gone after a trip to the toilet. The dinner will be based on this amount. Dad, I'm asking you."

Wu Qingxin came back to his senses. He nodded and said, "Yes, I do. What do you want to do?"

Wu Xianxiao smiled and said, "Borrow it for a while."

Wu Qingxin said seriously: "Those are famous swords and antiques. You don't want to steal them and sell them, do you?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head and said, "You can follow me. I'll borrow it for use."

Wu Qingxin folded his arms and sneered, "Okay, I want to see how you use it."

Wu Xianxiao really borrowed it to use, meaning the kind that can be used with hands.

He was holding a Longquan sword, standing in the center of the training hall. He started with a sword dance, followed by stabbing, poking, lifting and scraping. His body followed the sword and the sword moved freely. In just a few seconds, the sword danced out little sword stars. Wu Qingxin and An Rongzhi were stunned again.

Even though both of them are ordinary people, they can clearly see the exquisiteness of this set of sword moves, which is almost like the feeling of "Oh fuck, that's awesome."

Wu Xianxiao didn't care. He just concentrated on using this sword move to train his body and control his flesh and blood. Ever since he passed through the Castlevania dream world, he had the skill of "Master of Everything". Even if it was not the Heroic Spirit Shattering Blade, this ordinary sword alone could still perform master-level moves.

A sword danced with green light, and as Wu Xianxiao's control over his body became deeper and deeper, the sword light seemed to condense. He saw his sword dancing like stars and passing like rainbows. About twenty minutes later, the sword in his hand shook violently and stopped. A sword whistling burst out, and the whole sword actually broke directly in the middle of the sword body, and metal powder appeared on the hilt.

"It's a hidden force."

Wu Xianxiao threw down the broken sword in his hand and said to his father Wu Qingxin: "Dad, it's fake. You've been deceived."

Wu Qingxin no longer cared whether the sword he loved was real or not. He immediately rushed to Wu Xianxiao's side and picked up the sword. Then he looked at Wu Xianxiao with a burning gaze and said, "Did you meet a fairy? An old man with a white beard? Did he teach you martial arts in a dream? Was that real martial arts? The Chinese kind? Do you have internal strength?"

An Rongzhi slapped Wu Qingxin from behind, then she looked at Wu Xianxiao seriously and said, "Son, we want a clear answer from you... What happened?"

Wu Xianxiao was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Let's talk about it after Zhizhi comes back. I still have some things to do now. Dad, you said before that I was deceived into taking drugs and almost did something wrong... Who deceived me? How did they deceive me? That person..."

"Where are you now?"
