Chapter 1953 U Transcendence Event (Forty-Four)
Chapter 1927 U Beyond Event (Forty-four)
In fact, for a long time, most of Schiller's friends did not have a clear enough understanding of how serious his dissociative identity disorder, commonly known as split personality, was.
But rather than describing it this way, it is better to say that the severity of Schiller's split has exceeded anyone's imagination.
Many of Schiller's friends have seen or even entered Schiller's Mind Tower, knowing that there are many personalities in it, and even knowing that these are just normal, and there is an abyss of pathological people living under the Mind Tower.
But if each of Schiller's personality traits has been split to the point where they can act independently, then this matter has developed from unscientific to horror, or even a disaster.
"That's definitely Schiller." Natasha insisted. She pressed her back against the door and said, "I saw it clearly this time. The hand holding the knife belongs to Schiller!"
"But he's not there." Batman shook his head and said, "We only saw the reflection in the glass, but according to the principle of optics, there is no figure at the actual location corresponding to the reflection, which means there is only one reflection."
"Schiller has become a ghost." Natasha still had the expression of seeing a ghost, and this was actually the most terrifying expression a female agent could make, but in fact this was much more terrifying than seeing a ghost.
"No." Batman shook his head. He recalled more details, so he pointed to Natasha's clothes and said, "We are all wearing hospital gowns."
"So?" Natasha looked down at her clothes. She had put on a hospital gown after she woke up here, which was the blue and white tops and bottoms commonly seen in mental hospitals.
Suddenly she realized, and then said: "The cuffs of that hand are not hospital gowns, but... black shirts."
"But that is definitely Schiller." Natasha emphasized again: "I just saw half of his face, I can't be wrong."
"That means he is not the Professor Schiller we know."
Batman seemed to have a guess. He looked outside and found that there was no movement outside, so he began to tell the story.
"Do you remember how we got here?"
Natasha recalled briefly and said, "I remember that after the game in the arena, we were all a little tired and fell asleep after getting on the bus."
The female agent also found something wrong. She said, "In fact, I haven't felt sleepy for many years. I don't need to rest through sleep like ordinary people. Unless I want to sleep, I won't feel sleepy."
"And even on the bus, our situation is not safe. In this case, it is impossible for me to feel sleepy. This is completely contrary to my instinct."
"I won't fall asleep in any unsafe place." Batman said, "It's not that I don't want to sleep, but I can't sleep. In other words, except for those relatively safe places for me, I can't sleep anywhere."
"But you fell asleep."
" This shows that this kind of sleep is mandatory. It is the entrance to the next game. "Batman went on to speculate:" One of them is a problem, why must it be sleep? " "You mean, this is a dream?" Batman nodded and said, "Since ancient times, people have various speculations about dreams, and they have deep fear of nightmares, so that they have caused countless literary or movie works. Since the previous games have similar horror movies, this time is the same." I thought of a classic role, but suddenly she stunned. "Yes." Batman nodded, affirming Natasha's guess, and then said, "This is a dream, dreams occur in our conscious space, that is to say, the world is flat with our consciousness world, and the world of consciousness in Tylor." Natasha slowly opened his mouth. Half an hour ago, in Schiller's thinking tower, Greedy, who was knocking on the floor tiles, raised his head in confusion and said, "Why is there no sound?"
He stood up, looked outside, and walked out, just bumping into the superego who was walking towards the elevator.
"Why didn't they bump into each other?"
"It's very wrong." The superego said, "No matter what, the morbidity is part of Schiller, and they share the same body with us."
"They would never do this, because if the tower is affected and out of control, then Schiller's body will also be injured. This is a danger beyond the control range, which is definitely not what the morbidity wants, and it has never happened before."
"Then why did they bump into each other?"
The superego shook his head, walked towards the elevator and said, "We'll know when we go down."
So Greedy and the superego took the elevator to the abyss together.
After arriving at the abyss, the superego checked the ceiling of the abyss, which is the foundation of the tower of thought, and found that there was no damage.
He seemed to realize something and said, "Go to the edge."
Greed was stunned, and the two rushed to the edge without stopping, and then saw a big hole on the wall on the side of the abyss.
"Escaped?!" Greed shouted in shock: "But there is no space outside the subconscious..."
The superego shook his head and said: "There must be space outside, otherwise they would not hit it."
After a little thought, Greed agreed with the superego's statement, because he knew that the outside of the abyss, that is, the outside of the subconscious boundary, was solid, and there was nothing except the wall, so they didn't need to hit the wall in this direction.
But if they hit it, it means that they may have noticed that there is something outside the subconscious, at least there is a space for them to pass, so what is it?
Surrounding the subconscious, in the space around it, Greedy slowly uttered a word: "Dream."
"And it's not a simple dream." The superego frowned and speculated: "The dream surrounding the subconscious must not be a coincidence. It is not above the subconscious, not below the subconscious, and not inside the subconscious, but around it."
"Above the subconscious, dreams are too shallow and easy to wake up, and below the subconscious, dreams are too deep and difficult to build. Dreams in the subconscious are the most common dreams and the easiest to shape, so why not?"
"Unless the other party wants more than just a dream." Greedy thought and said: "When a person is asleep, the limbs cannot move freely, because the conscious mind that controls the body's actions is completely dormant. The software system does not give instructions, and the hardware naturally does not work."
"But in the monitoring of sleepwalkers, it is found that their brains still send signals to the limbs, but the patients will not remember it after waking up. This is because it is the subconscious mind rather than the conscious mind that controls their bodies at this time."
"Of course the subconscious can control the body, and it is in the conscious mind. "Unexpectedly." The Super I said, he went on to speculate: "Monterwalking is a manifestation of the dream manipulating the body in the subconsciousness." Greedy seems to think of what he wants to manipulate a person's body, then creating a dream in his subconscious, allowing him to affect the real world in the real world. To control the body of a group of people at the same time, it is not a good choice to make dreams in the relatively independent subconscious space. " The deepest dream under all people, then choose to create a common dream around a few people's subconscious. And this soup is a common dream. Both sesame and soup can affect the taste of glutinous rice balls, just like ordinary dreams and shared dreams can control people's limbs by affecting the subconscious.
The superego looked up at the ceiling of the abyss and said: "Although the actions in the dream and the actions in reality are not completely corresponding, there is a certain connection. If I am not mistaken, all the contestants' bodies in reality have moved."
Batman and Natasha's speculations in the ward continued, but they were in a stalemate.
They guessed that this was a dream, but they did not associate it with the real intention of the killer in this level.
Because there is a significant contradiction in this.
They had previously speculated that the killer should not be able to kill for a period of time after the game started, otherwise it would be easy to have an embarrassing scene of blocking the door.
However, the dream and the real world may not be completely corresponding. Now a day and a night have passed in the dream, and it may only be two hours in reality.
But this killer obviously cannot set the time flow rate like this, because it is very disadvantageous to him. If 1 hour in reality is equal to 12 hours in the dream, then wouldn't it be necessary to wait for a few days in the dream world before starting to kill?
So it should be the other way around, that is, 1 hour in the dream is equal to 12 hours in reality, so if they spend a day and a night in the dream, it is equivalent to spending several days in reality, then the safety protection is definitely not applicable, and the killer can definitely kill people.
But if that's the case, why didn't the killer take action?
Although he just smashed the ceiling and lifted the tiles, these actions are more special effects than damage. Let alone Batman and Natasha, just calling a few college students would at most break some skin.
This is not really a horror movie, and you have to create a huge special effect to kill with one blow. Since there are ghosts in the dream, why not just rush up and strangle a few people to death?
Then there is another possibility that the killer cannot control the speed of time in the dream reality.
The speed of time is forcibly fixed at a value that is favorable to the contestants, that is, one day passes in the dream, and several hours pass in reality.
Then why did the killer encourage several people to escape from the hospital?
If the killer may start killing after a few days, then locking them in the hospital is the best choice.
According to the weakened physical fitness of the contestants, there is no need to create a hospital scene. They can just create a tin house that they can't break open. When the time comes, they can just start killing.
"Did you notice that the two corridors we just ran over are particularly long." Batman frowned and said.
