Chapter 749 This World Will Burn

"The last sweet dream?" Hao Ren looked at Nolan in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Nolan clasped his hands on his chest and lowered his head so that no one could see her expression clearly. All he could see was a pair of thin lips pursed slightly: "Actually... I can occasionally hear voices from the 'awake world' , although it is very, very vague, but I know that there is a real world outside this false planet..."

Hao Ren was stunned: "You didn't tell me this before."

"I didn't know how reliable you were before," Nolan bit his lip. "You can only retain memories, which doesn't explain your character and will. And I can only hear some 'voices' occasionally. I Not even sure if they're actually from the 'waking world', except this latest time, it's clear."

Nolan explained a few more words, and then Hao Ren roughly understood the other party's situation. In short: The specialness of this girl is not only limited to her ability to retain memories in reincarnation, she is also able to sense the operation of the "simulation program" behind this world.

No wonder she so firmly views the world as a harsh stage, and frequently uses "director" and "script" to describe everything she experiences. This is not only because hundreds of reincarnations have made her feel this way, but also because she is truly aware of the existence of the "fabricator".

It's just that her perception of the "awakening world" is extremely weak, not even much more reliable than ordinary auditory and visual hallucinations. She could occasionally hear or see some scenes that happened in the future, or sense a consciousness beyond human beings whispering in her ear. She was like a child who accidentally opened the curtain while running around on the stage. A sudden glimpse of the lighting engineer and prop racks behind the curtain. Those short but impressive messages made her realize the unreality of this world.

The information that is occasionally encountered is very rare, and most of it is accompanied by severe interference and trance. If an ordinary person encounters it once or twice, he will probably directly regard it as a hallucination, but Nolan has been exposed to it many times, almost every time During the reincarnation, she would hear or see "strange scenes" for a few seconds. After accumulating in this way, she became convinced of the existence of the "awakening world" or the "real world".

Nolan was a little vague when describing the sounds and images, as if he didn't know how to summarize what he saw. Hao Ren had to guide her: "How did it feel to hear or see those things? You Did you see a scene in the real world? Or was it just a subconscious...intuition that made you feel like you saw something?"

"Probably the latter," Nolan nodded. "Those things are always very abstract, and there are no clear pictures or sounds when I recall them afterwards. Sometimes I feel like I have seen something similar to 'destiny', although it is not a specific image. , but directly understand the future direction of this world, sometimes..."

Nolan frowned and thought hard before he knew how to describe that feeling: "It was like changing my perspective. I felt a consciousness that was transcendent to human beings. It was very vast and complex, looking down at the entire world. All the information about the world. I guess that perspective is the controlling 'program' for the world."

As she said that, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Hao Ren suspiciously: "The questions you asked are very specific. Do you also know something?"

Hao Ren waved his hand: "This is not important. I am very interested in the 'transcendental to human' perspective you mentioned. Can you still sense it now?"

Nolan shook his head slightly: "I can't sense it anymore. This is beyond my control."

Hao Ren looked into Nolan's eyes: "Then what exactly is the 'last sweet dream' you mentioned before?"

"That was when this new stage was just starting..."

According to Nolan, she heard the voice of the "Fabricator" when the world had just been reset. Although she couldn't understand what the voice was saying with her human understanding, a feeling similar to the injection of ideas made her understand something. That was the thought that flashed through the fabricator when he started the stage: I'm afraid this is The world resets for the last time.

"I don't know what happened in the real world, but it seems that reincarnation is about to end," Nolan's eyes were a little wandering. She had been used to the continuous reincarnation, but something suddenly happened now that broke her habit. These things beyond experience made her She also felt uneasy, "...the fragments of thoughts that flooded into my mind can be summed up in only six words: This is the end."

Hao Ren muttered, almost to himself: "What will happen after reincarnation ends?"

"I don't know, maybe the world will continue to be peaceful. The current 'script' will be the final stage. If so, that would be great." There seemed to be a smile on the corner of Nolan's mouth, but the smile was quickly turned cold. Instead, "Unfortunately, such an idea is probably very unrealistic. Maybe the world will end together."

Although I hate to admit it, Nolan's second guess is obviously more likely.

At this time, Nolan suddenly raised his head and looked at Hao Ren: "I have answered all your questions, can I tell you something now?"

Hao Ren was about to answer when he heard the voice of the data terminal coming from the spiritual connection: "Partner! Can you hear me? We are here!"

Hao Ren was overjoyed and said that the situation finally went smoothly for once: "Oh, I can hear it very clearly. It seems that the signal is good this time. How is the situation over there?"

Before the terminal could reply, Lily's voice suddenly intervened: "Don't talk about our situation yet! You are in urgent need!!"

"What?"

The data terminal took over the communication again: "This machine will send you the picture from outside."

Almost as soon as the terminal's voice fell, a set of images from a third-party perspective appeared in Hao Ren's mind. He saw a brilliant golden-red light covering his entire field of vision with overwhelming momentum, large groups. The flames spread across the land, the sky burned with raging fire, and one-third of the horizon was ignited by a dazzling arc. Hao Ren was startled by this spectacular sight: "What the hell is this?!"

"Zroam! This planet is falling into the sun in the real world! The global fire has been burning for an unknown period of time, and the crustal structure is slowly disintegrating - it is extremely urgent!"

Hao Ren was stunned for five seconds this time, and finally squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "...This is not something that a ship can handle..."

Nolan heard him talking to himself and looked over curiously: "What did you say?"

"This world is indeed coming to an end, but it started to collapse from the real world." Hao Ren grabbed Nolan's wrist, "Don't you want to know what I do? Well, whether you believe it or not - I It comes from the real world, the 'sober' place you mentioned."

Nolan stared: "It's not fun to make this joke suddenly."

Hao Ren slapped his forehead, knowing that the other party would react like this, because in this virtual space where everything is possible, he could not prove his identity in the real world, or even prove that he could contact the real universe outside - he All the rhetoric and even the actual evidence can be regarded as simulations of this world. This is why he didn't explain the situation to Nolan at first, because he didn't know what to say at all!

When all your actions and evidence are no more credible than empty words, many things have no explanation value.

Hao Ren waved to Nolan to calm him down, and at the same time called the data terminal in his mind: "How long do we have?"

"About forty-eight hours. It's still unclear where the virtual world's main body 'server' is. Let's assume it is deep in the earth's crust, but now the shell of Drom has been torn apart by the gravity of the sun, no matter how many underground equipment it has. Even if it’s strong, it’s impossible to last more than forty-eight hours.”

"Fuck!" Hao Ren almost jumped up, "It's too late to do anything!"

Not only was he shouting while mentally connected, he even blurted it out. Nolan couldn't help but look him up and down with suspicious eyes: "What on earth are you..."

"There is nothing we can do. The situation is urgent. I need to accompany you," Hao Ren said quickly, taking out a small communicator from his pocket and giving it to Nolan. "This is for you. It's a communicator. Press this button. You can contact me directly. It doesn't matter if you don't believe that I am from the real world, but if you hear the voice of the 'fabricator' again, or see any movement in the background program of this world, contact me immediately, understand? If this Any other abnormal phenomena occurring in the world must also be reported!”

After saying this, Hao Ren directly issued an order for the dormant cabin to wake him up. His figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air, leaving Nolan, who was still a little unresponsive, watching the scene blankly.

After standing there for a long time, Nolan muttered thoughtfully: "Is this person really...going to the real world?"
