Chapter 754 I Am the World

"I knew it wasn't that simple." Chen Ke looked at the scene in the hole in the wall and whispered.

Diana put out the fire, afraid of being seen by the people inside, while Lucina looked like she wanted to rush in to fight, but was stopped by Chen Ke.

"Do you think the people in there are... us?" Diana asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but my intuition tells me that we can't just go in like this... If there is a mirror image here, if we go in, they might come out from behind..." Chen Ke said, looking behind him.

Sure enough, in the laboratory where they were, there was also a hole in the wall behind them, and four figures were looking at them...

Now, this laboratory is like an infinite nesting doll space, and Chen Ke and his team are in one of them. This feeling reminds Chen Ke of a picture, a woman holding a mirror, and a woman holding a mirror in the mirror...

"Why don't we do an experiment and find someone to go in and take a look?" Xu Jing suggested at this time.

"I don't think this is a good idea. What if the person who goes there can't come back?" Diana shook her head.

"I have a better way to see if those shadows are us. Just shoot at them..." Chen Ke took out the sniper rifle that fired fighter machine gun bullets, which made the three beauties stunned.

At the same time, one of the four shadows also took out a big gun. It seemed that all the actions were synchronized. Did this synchronization start after they entered 2137B? Maybe, before Lucina blasted a hole in the wall, these shadows already existed behind the wall.

"It sounds like a good idea... but who are you going to shoot?" Lucina asked.

"I'm not sure. I think I should shoot the strongest and most resilient one." Chen Ke looked at the three witches.

Xu Jing and Diana slowly backed away and looked at Lucina.

Lucina sighed and said, "Okay, but don't hit the vital points."

Chen Ke patted Lucina and said, "Just kidding. There's no need to do this. If this hole is really connected to each other, I just need to shoot other things in the room and see if there is any reaction from our side."

Hearing what Chen Ke said, Lucina breathed a sigh of relief.

He set up the sniper, but because he didn't have night vision goggles, the lens was pitch black, but in the red left eye's field of vision, the walls and ceiling were full of those wooden faces that emitted a faint red dim light.

He aimed at the computer on the table in the laboratory in the cave, put the gun on the edge of the cave, put his index finger on the trigger, and prepared to fire a bullet to try.

Suddenly, his body sank down and he lay on the ground, and the surroundings became brighter.

Chen Ke quickly moved his eyes away from the sniper scope and looked around, and found that he was lying on a street. The sun was shining all around, and the sidewalk was full of people.

This place turned out to be a busy commercial street, with Japanese scrolling on the signs. Pedestrians didn't pay any attention to Chen Ke who appeared out of thin air on the street. He lay on the crosswalk with the sniper rifle in his arms.

"What the hell..." Chen Ke got up, and the three witches were not behind him.

Some passers-by walked past him and gave him a contemptuous smile, as if they were laughing at him. The scrolling text on the billboard turned into English, spelling out: Stay.

Chen Ke knew that something was holding him back.

"It's not bad to stay here." A woman in a water blue dress said to him in accented English as she walked by him.

"That's what they chose, too." A white-collar man also said so, as he walked by Chen Ke with a briefcase under his arm.

A man in a black suit walked by Chen Ke, handed him a business card, and said, "We offer you a job with a good salary. You will soon be able to buy a good house in the city center and live a middle-class life."

Chen Ke looked at the man's face and couldn't see any flaws. His spiritual vision swept around, and there were actually real humans here, each with a blue outline.

Chen Ke put away his gun, and this thing pulled it in, and didn't try to hide itself. Moreover, the citizens here seemed to understand that they lived in an illusory world, but they accepted it...

Chen Ke looked up at the sky, and in the blue sky and white clouds, there was a golden sun hanging. The blazing light was so dazzling, and the atmosphere of the street seemed extremely real.

"Here, everyone is far away from poverty and pain, there is no birth, aging, sickness and death, and they can do their favorite careers. There are no monsters and no wars. It is a perfect world." A female white-collar worker behind Chen Ke said.

A small number of people on the street gathered around, and they all seemed to want to persuade Chen Ke to stay.

"Are you a foundation or a cult?" Chen Ke suddenly asked.

"We are who we are. We have nothing to do with our past identities." The female white-collar worker smiled.

Chen Ke looked at the pedestrians on the street and found that there were no old people or children at a glance. They were all adult men and women between the ages of 20 and 40.

The city is full of vitality, and everything is so well organized. If Chen Ke chooses to have a good sleep and let humans live in their dreams, I am afraid it will be like this.

Live in a dream.

"What if I say no?" Chen Ke said.

"That will only cause trouble for yourself, agent. We used to be... but we didn't get peace until we accepted this dream." The man in the black suit who introduced the job to him smiled.

Chen Ke understood that the people here were probably all psychic operators of the Foundation or the Descendants before...

"If you want to live in a dream, then go ahead. But I don't want to do that?" Chen Ke said.

"You just don't want to face reality. The end of the world is already doomed. Isn't it good to live in a great dream?" said the female white-collar worker.

"No matter how great the dream is, it can only be a dream. I would rather die in the real world than live in a dream." Chen Ke said.

Seeing that they couldn't convince Chen Ke, the crowd wanted to kill him, and Chen Ke also noticed their intentions.

At this time, a dull voice suddenly came from the sky: "Stranger carrying the Old Ones, I have something to say to you. Don't move, let's meet. You will know what happened in 2137."

The voice was old and painful, and sounded like a victim.

The crowd around Chen Ke slowly retreated and returned to their daily lives again, and the street scene began to move away from him, and darkness enveloped him.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Ke stood in a dark hall. There was no light here, but he could see his hands clearly, which was very contrary to common sense. In front of him, there was a fat maggot lying horizontally. The maggot seemed familiar. Chen Ke remembered that this was something he had seen before he met Adams.

Flesh-colored transparent skin, huge, with a human face, lying on the ground chewing something. Unlike before, the maggot had many black hoses inserted into its body, absorbing energy from somewhere.

"Come here... stranger... don't be surprised, I'm right in front of you." The maggot said.

Chen Ke walked over and saw that the maggot had a painful look on its face, as if it was suffering from the pain of childbirth. Behind it, there was a white, half-eaten thigh from a humanoid creature that was equally huge.

"What... are you?" Chen Ke asked.

"I am the world." The maggot replied.
