People are in a weird world, you call this a nurturing game

"Huchi~huchi~"

A cluster of huge colorful fireworks, a strange substance with human features and dozens of tentacles on its body. Its body is full of elasticity, and it expands and collapses, making strange breathing sounds.

Seeing this scene, Li Ran couldn't help but think of an infectious virus in his previous life that made Blue Star people wear masks for three years.

In the past, viruses were seen through microscopes and special equipment. Who would have thought that a virus as big as a person would materialize in front of me and talk to him.

That was the appearance of madman Pang Lai after he was demonized, and it was also the appearance that Li Ran had glimpsed in the [Mirror of Reality] before.

"Indeed, this is what I saw in the water glass."

Li Ran calmed down quickly. In the past eight days, there was nothing he had not experienced. The demonic form of the madman could not scare him.

Unlike other demonized monsters, the madman can recognize that he is a monster.

The madman's demonization was not to attack Li Ran, but to urgently confirm that Li Ran had seen the content.

If Li Ran saw a piece of shit in the water, maybe he would really look like that piece of shit.

"This is the truth of this world." Pang Lai, who turned into a monster, said.

"the truth?"

"They are the original inhabitants of this world!" said the madman.

Hearing this, Li Ran was shocked.

"Viruses are indigenous people, so what are humans? Invaders?"

"Who can guarantee that they are not intruders?" The monster Pang Lai pointed at the ground with one tentacle and continued: "Maybe there is life under our feet. You are doubting that they are too hot to survive underground. They are thinking about the surface.

It’s poisonous gas (oxygen) and there can be no life.”

The words of the mad monster seemed to open a door to a new world for Li Ran.

"If viruses are indigenous people, then where did humans come from?" Li Ran asked.

The mad monster pointed one tentacle at Li Ran: "How you got here is how they got here."

Damn it!

These words from the crazy monster made Li Ran freeze in place as if struck by lightning.

He is a player selected by the strange world.

Are the indigenous people also selected players?

Thinking of this, Li Ran felt that his brain was not full.

Are Aboriginal people players?

Are you kidding me?

Could it be that his wife and son were also players?

“Can players still become aborigines if they die in the dungeon?”

Player dies...becomes aboriginal?

No...shouldn't it be like this?

Death is a process of disappearance, and indigenous people are living people.

"Wait a minute, there may be hope of life even if you die here!"

"Dark Palace!!"

Suddenly, Li Ran seemed to have discovered something, and he became inexplicably frightened when he thought about it!

If the natives in the dungeon are players, and the players must experience death, the living players will eventually leave the dungeon.

So the question becomes, how does a player become an aborigine after death?

Return from the dead?

"Yang Ping!"

Li Ran suddenly thought of someone.

Yang Ping and the three actors who played Zhao Yingzhi's family members all came from the Dark Palace.

They all have one thing in common, they are all dead!

The existence of the Dark Hall has brought these dead people back to life.

The virus adds darkness to the palace and brings the dead back to life?!

"Let me go, no, is this the truth of this world?"

Li Ran's entire worldview was greatly impacted!

"By the way, there is also Zhao Yingzhi!"

Li Ran thought of Zhao Yingzhi who had just left the Dark Palace.

At this moment, Li Ran seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind and thought of many impossible possibilities.

When Zhao Yingzhi left the Dark Palace, there were two souls in her body.

"If Zhao Yingzhi's body is occupied by another soul, Zhao Yingzhi will no longer be the original Zhao Yingzhi, but another person!"

"If Yang Ping's memory does not stop at the last day of death, and if her inherent one-day cyclic memory is released, wouldn't she be able to live in the community like an aborigine?"

"But, after they came out of the Dark Palace, were they implanted with memories or did they have original memories?"

Li Ran felt like he was going crazy. At this moment, his head was about to explode.

He looked at the mad monster and asked: "Are you awake?"

Meng Ge, Su Bingyao, Li Ziyang and the madman in front of them all seemed to realize that they were monsters, and at the same time they awakened human consciousness, so Li Ran believed that this was a state of awakening, the awakening of human consciousness.

The monster slowly returned to the appearance of the madman Pang Lai. He walked to the cage and leaned down. A tentacle grew out of his palm and quickly wrapped around the mutated mouse.

"What does awakening mean?" Madman Pang Lai had a morbid smile on his dark face.

“Chichi!!”

The entangled little white mouse screamed, and its body quickly shriveled up.

Li Ran witnessed with his own eyes the process of how a white mouse was decomposed by a madman, just like the process of burning charcoal disintegrating into black ashes.

The black ash fell on the ground and the wind blew away, leaving no trace of the presence of the white mouse.

"It's time for you to go." The madman said suddenly.

Li Ran still had many questions to ask, but the madman returned to his original state of epilepsy, and he kept repeating those words.

"Do you believe it? This world is a cage. They are monitoring everyone from above. If we don't live according to their designed procedures, we will be exiled..."

At the same time, the cold sound of mission completion sounded in Li Ran's ears.

[Complete the mission: Pang Lai’s test.]

[Completion reward: 200 guile, 2000 points, rare equipment*1]

He seemed to understand the meaning of the madman's repeated words. It probably meant that he couldn't talk too much and had to follow the rules, otherwise he would end badly.

The madman's words also had a meaning, which Li Ran could not figure out at the moment.

He picked up the clothes on the floor and put them on again.

He looked back at the lunatic in a state of epilepsy.

The most terrifying thing in the world is that you see the truth, but those who are blinded regard you as a madman.

Originally, Li Ran just wanted to go to the rooftop with the mentality of completing a task, but when the task was completed, his understanding of the world seemed to have been greatly impacted.

Didn’t you decide from the beginning that no matter what the madman said, it would fall on deaf ears?

He didn't know why he believed the madman's words.

[Mirror of Truth] has warned you a long time ago that everyone who has peeked into the truth of this world has gone crazy.

"Damn it, am I crazy too?"

He could ignore all the conjectures he had just made.

But there was a conjecture that made him feel ridiculous, but he had to face it head-on.

That's what it means to say that Aboriginal people are players.

If this is true, all the indigenous people in the community are players who have died.

They were all controlled by the virus and became programmed NPCs to play a role in the community.

Su Bingyao too!

Then the problem comes, Su Bingyao wakes up.

Whose consciousness did she awaken?
