Chapter 3267: The Shadow of Faraines (38)
Chapter 3241 The Shadow of Faraines (Thirty-Eight)
In fact, the whole incident is divided into three levels, or three different dimensions in which the characters exist.
The characters in the highest dimension are of course the Doujie players who participate in the game, such as Schiller, the Joker, Batman, Bruce, etc.
The characters in the second dimension are the characters in this game world, that is, Rodolph, Matthew, etc. played by high-dimensional players.
The characters in the third dimension are the people in the novel, the characters living in the novel author's pen, such as Rodolph, Matthew, the Pope and the Great Prophet.
If we start from low to high, that is, start from the novel, then the most important thing is undoubtedly the reversal at the end.
The whole novel unfolds from Rodolph's perspective, narrating his adventure, and finally meeting his former student on the top floor of the lighthouse and recalling his past of studying taboo knowledge is actually a narrative trick of the novel author.
When people read novels, they like to put themselves into the protagonist, so the one who opposes the protagonist is naturally the villain. Matthew who appears in Rodolph's perspective is indeed very much like a villain.
As long as the novel readers have formed such an impression, and then the perspective suddenly changes, in Matthew's eyes, Rodolph is the cultist, and the reversal is achieved.
This reversal is actually very classic. Many novels and horror movies will deliberately let the audience discover that the so-called righteous and innocent protagonist is actually the real villain when they are near the end.
If there is only this layer, it is far from being wonderful. It can only be said to be a little ingenious and a trick.
But if combined with the second layer, that is, the world view of the game, it adds an extra layer of horror.
Because in addition to the dying pope, there are only Matthew and Rodolph on the top floor of the lighthouse. In the end, only Matthew walked out alive, and only Matthew knew what happened on the top floor of the lighthouse.
So is the reversal of this novel published by Matthew a reversal, or a deliberately modified ending?
Is the truth presented in the eyes of ordinary people in the game world and novel readers the real fact?
If the two layers are combined, it can be called a good ending.
If we regard the whole game as a movie, the director may not shoot the final decisive battle, but only give a close-up of the novel at the end of the movie.
At first glance, it will be a good ending, evil cannot prevail over good, and Matthew, as a good man, defeated the villain.
But in fact, many people can figure it out at a glance. In the end, it is Matthew who is alive, so of course he can write it as he wants, and maybe the facts are completely the opposite.
This is a kind of blank treatment, leaving the audience with space to think and react on their own, to create a deeper reversal.
But the most interesting thing is that at the highest dimensional character level, that is, the level of Schiller and Bruce, there is another contradiction, that is, the problem of academic fraud and winning the game.
In fact, it was Arrogance who participated in the game, but he was replaced by an agent in the middle, and then changed back at the last minute. Arrogance is Bruce's professor. Although he has given up on letting Bruce master psychoanalysis, any professor would not want his students to do such things.
If it were other teachers and students, it would actually be nothing to talk nonsense in the game.
Just like in a group game, you add your education points to the maximum and set your character to graduate from a prestigious university. In fact, it is nothing more than a way of playing the game. You can't always follow reality, right? If you get into an ordinary university, you are not allowed to set yourself as a top student from a prestigious university when you are playing the group. Then what kind of game should I play?
But Pride and Bruce are different. Think about how much effort Bruce put into graduating from undergraduate and graduate school. How long Bruce studied is how long Pride has practiced fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea.
After queuing up for the same game, it was not easy at all. Just look at the pile of cut cigars on the table.
As a result, Bruce started to falsify his academic qualifications at this time. It would be strange if Pride didn't get angry.
But the same thing, if you want to play by the rules, then work hard. If you don't want to play by the rules, just clean up the beginning and the end. Defeating the teacher is also a way to beat the exam.
But Bruce didn't clean up. He cooperated with Naya, but was sold out by Naya. The evidence is conclusive and there is no way to deny it. This is adding fuel to the fire.
Naiya announced what Matthew had done, proving that he was a true cultist, which was to tell Rodolph, played by Schiller, that if Matthew was really allowed to walk out alive, then the game would definitely have a bad ending.
It would be fine if all the members were here now, but the key is that they had killed all their teammates before, especially Greed.
If you want a good ending, you have to kill Matthew, played by Bruce, and then Bruce has to fight with Pride. If you don't kill Matthew, played by Bruce, you can't have a good ending, and Greed has to fight with Pride.
Anyway, whether you go forward or backward, Pride has to fight this battle. The only difference is whether the opponent is his student or another self, but it will never be a good opponent.
So in fact, the novel is a trap, but it is not a physical trap, but Naiya uses the novel to tell Schiller what the consequences will be if he doesn't fight this battle, to force him to fight.
In this way, Pride faces a problem. Although Naiya is complaining here happily, if Pride wants to kill Bruce, Naiya will definitely help Bruce.
Judging from the current strength of Lodolf, he cannot play Matthew, played by Bruce, who has helped Naya. In the end, it is likely that Matthew killed Lodolf, and the ending of the novel was fulfilled.
Bruce also knew this, but he certainly didn't want to kill arrogance. It was enough to get angry if he could not use a talent. I want to live my next day.
While realizing this, Bruce retracted a step back, and Schiller went to grab his movements a step slower. Bruce took a pistol directly on his temple.
"Don't come over." Bruce said, "It's not really dead in the game, it's just exit."
"You put the gun down." Schiller rubbed his eyebrows.
"Yeah, Matthew, I think you should think about it again." A voice came from the direction of the Pope. He said, "Let your teacher kill you and you in front of your teacher."
Bang!
Schiller gave the Pope a shot directly, using Batman to transform him with a screw pistol, the effect was immediate, and the Pope's head directly exploded.
But his body continued to make a sound.
"Of course, you can also choose to do this. When the lighthouse goes out of the lighthouse, it becomes Lodolf. He revealed the truth of this shame to the world, but does anyone really believe it?"
This is actually what Schiller wants to say, because ordinary people living in the game world are not stupid, they will definitely guess that Loolonov is a good person in the novel, because Lodoff came out alive.

If Matthew is alive, he has been at the core of the power of the church over the years. Maybe he can also be overhead the pope. He can disappear these voices. The novel is just his public opinion tool, not a life -saving straw.
However, Lodolph had been kicked out of the church many years ago. It is impossible for a novel to shape him into a great hero. No one in his hands has no money and no right. It is impossible to lead the church. Heroes, some are waiting for the pope to die.
At the end of the result, the people in the church may also cause the church to split in order to fight for power.
It seems to be a tendon, in fact, the two ends are blocked. Whoever is dying is actually a bad ending.
The pope's body moved a bit, and a low humming sound in his chest was celebrating as if he was celebrating victory.
Suddenly, the door of the room sounded.
Schiller and Bruce looked at each other, and the two put down the gun at the same time.
The pope's body was not moved.
"Why don't you speak?" Schiller suddenly laughed and looked at the body of the Pope, "Isn't he surprised? Why did anyone knock on the door at this time?"
Bruce held his arms and said, "Yes, how could Batman kill the Batman who was killed by the prophet of the Great prophet?
The door was pushed open, and the standing outside the door was Batman.
Naya didn't say anything, and seemed to be observing the situation, but Siller sat in front of the table with time and opened the novel in front of him again.
"... At this moment, an out -of -speed guest appeared! That is our great hero Batman. He was like a sophisticated wilderness hunter. The face is full of his whole body, and he does not know that his dark armor like night is also written by the life of countless innocent creatures!
He suddenly moved, threw his homemade simple electric sticks on the body of the pope, and watched the disgusting fat convulsion dance. This was his bad taste, which means that he can also let the gods bow ...
He walked into the room, and soon the clown came. He was resurrected by a certain evil god. Now he will be fair to Batman. Although he has not died in Batman's hands, unexpected death made him full Resentment, resentment condensed into essence, making him a horrible dark monster ... "
The clowns with a black anger walked into the door, Schiller stood up, walked to the corner, and did not intend to disturb their fighting. He continued to look at the novel.
"... But no, the clown does not want to fight with Batman. He just wants to persuade Batman. The two of them can cooperate, because Batman once contacted the gods of the deep sea. The ship, go to the troubles of the arrogant god.
When they passed by the village, another Batman was resurrected, but this time it was not that simple. He stood on the road to ask Batman's definition of justice.
Is it just justice for justice for justice? In this world without heaven and hell, who is determined by justice? Is he still a messenger of justice because he is in another universe? So why did he die?
Batman couldn't answer, but at this time the clown stood out. He attacked this evil Batman and argued for his companion.
In this world, no one can define justice and evil. All they have to do is to defeat the gods. This is their destiny, and they are the curse that they cannot escape.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the fish gods led the deep potential to attack the small village, and the endless underwater army rushed up, and the survivors of the church shivered.
However, Batman had already expected ... "
