Chapter 163 My CPU Is Burnt
Gu Xiuqi's phone call lasted a long time.
"I just watched the previous copy replay," he heard a few screams, which should be the sound from the video, "There are a few details that I need to discuss with you."

"Three days of replay, you finished it so quickly? Did you use 20 times the speed?"
"Not that exaggerated. Wait until you find the replay and you will know, many pictures are black screens, with no content at all."
"Black screen?"
"Yeah. Every time the picture disappears at the key point, I think it is very likely that it was intentional."
Gu Xiuqi said that the live broadcast started from the first night, and the main missing parts were Yan Lingqing's second night perspective, Zheng Xun's second and third nights, and his own second and third nights.
"I think the reason for the missing parts is directly related to the man named 'Yiyuan'."
At this point, Gu Xiuqi mentioned something off topic.
"Do you know how difficult the dungeon we're playing this time is?"
"SS?"
"It's 3S."
"As expected. But none of us drew the numbers, so where did this difficulty come from?"
"You may not believe it, but this was drawn by Yiyuan himself. He was wearing those white gloves, so I couldn't have mistaken him."
"White gloves? I've never seen them."
"How could this be? The fake Yiyuan I saw last night said that someone had found the real Yiyuan. Who else could this person be besides you?"
"...There's also a fake Yiyuan?"
The two of them only talked a few sentences before they realized that several questions didn't match.
The waiter just knocked on the door and Zheng Xun asked Gu Xiuqi to wait a moment.
The last dish was served, and they officially started talking about this topic.
"Some things may become clear when you watch the replay yourself. But I think it's better to exchange information in advance now," said Gu Xiuqi. "Let's first confirm the most critical question, that is, how many Yiyuans are there in the mansion, and what are their characteristics."
Gu Xiuqi first said that he saw two men who looked exactly the same. Before the truth came out, they all said they were "one yuan".
"But at the last minute, the man with a more serious expression said that if I met another housekeeper, I would pay him twice as much."
Gu Xiuqi leaned against the bedside of the apartment, holding a pen in one hand and a draft book in the other, writing and drawing on it.
"I don't know how much rent the two men will charge, but I think there must be more than one groove under the lining of the jewelry box. This live broadcast does not exist, so I can't confirm it.
But we can assume that the more serious man charges five yuan in rent, and the other man who likes to laugh charges ten yuan.
We can now use one yuan, five yuan, and ten yuan to refer to the three of them respectively, so there will be no confusion."
Zheng Xun has already started to use his chopsticks. He holds the rice bowl with one hand and picks up the dishes with the other hand, and while Gu Xiuqi is talking, he buries his head and eats hard.
"Teacher Gu, you go first. I'm so hungry and I need to eat."
"Eat slowly. I'll tell you my analysis. Listen to see if there are any truths or loopholes."
"Okay."
"One Yuan is the 'person' in the closet you saw. You said you didn't see his true appearance, but based on the clues we have, he may be the closest to the indescribable and unspeakable boss image in our cognition.
As for Five Yuan, his attitude seems to be fair and neutral. He occasionally takes some measures to mislead players and executes other monsters in the dungeon."
"Execute other 'monsters'?" Zheng Xun asked in a busy schedule, "What does this mean?"
"This is also what I want to tell you. "One of the information revealed, let's take it slow, one by one," Gu Xiuqi continued his reasoning just now, "and that Ten Yuan, he is the closest to human form, whether it is by imitation or some other means.
Five Yuan is one step further than One Yuan in terms of human appearance, and Ten Yuan is an emotional evolution compared to Five Yuan. He should understand that humans need to smile when communicating, and he also knows how to use a friendly smile to let players lower their guard.
When I negotiated with Five Yuan, Five Yuan was imitating Ten Yuan, or it was Ten Yuan who taught Five Yuan to use such expressions to induce players. "
Zheng Xun nodded on the phone, thinking that Gu Xiuqi couldn't see it, he stopped halfway.
"In other words, from One Yuan to Ten Yuan, they are gradually approaching humans?"
"Yes," Gu Xiuqi said in a deep voice, "This is a terrible thing. The boss of the White Tower, no matter how human-like their appearance is, they know nothing about human emotions. And the boss we saw in the Mansion Book, it is obvious that he has the ability to learn, he is learning how to become a human. "
This is creepy.
No one has ever thought about the question of "how to distinguish the White Tower boss from humans" before, because it is as stupid as asking whether there is a difference between humans and turtles.
First of all, the White Tower boss can only survive in the dungeon and as a subordinate in the player's bracelet. There is no case of encountering the boss wandering on the street.
Secondly, most of the White Tower bosses have various mutated to abnormal appearances. There are very few people like Hong Jie who look like humans, and there are more like Xiaohua, a fuzzy, indistinguishable flower things.
Finally, the White Tower bosses have no human emotions and cannot resonate with humans. As the embodiment of pure evil, they will only behave themselves and not do evil if they are subject to the various restrictions of the White Tower rules.
Besides, once a player enters the dungeon, he will be chased and bitten by the boss. Who would think about such profound philosophical questions as "Will this grinning and snarling thing behind you one day become an existence infinitely close to humans?"
However, the White Tower is like this, a place that has incubated countless terrifying wonders.
The neatly stacked books in the mansion are divided into different language versions. These books are not just for show, according to Zheng Xun, they are all outlined and marked.
The boss of this dungeon uses books created by humans to understand the world in which humans live, and learn their emotions, ethics, morals, etc.
Maybe he can't understand everything, but he is good at disguise. And through disguise, he can integrate himself well into the human group.
What's more terrifying is that it's not just the butler. You Xueshan later talked to Gu Xiuqi alone. She said that there was a woman with long hair in the dungeon, who should be the female ghost hiding under the bed in the single-player secret room escape at the beginning.
She talked to You Xueshan about love.
Gu Xiuqi had a lot of confusion in his mind, and now one more thing emerged, that is-does the boss know that he is the boss?
According to the current general understanding of humans, the dungeon boss is a string of data generated by the White Tower, which is virtual.
Can virtual things also awaken self-awareness?
If so, where is the boundary between reality and the White Tower? Is it just the heavy door of the white tower-shaped building? Is the door guarding the boundary between the game and reality, or two equally real worlds?
Gu Xiuqi spoke out all his doubts, and Zheng Xun's CPU on the other side was about to burn out.
"Next time I will definitely not answer your call during dinner," Zheng Xun looked at the table full of delicacies with a pale face, "I don't have any appetite at all now."
