Chapter 1927 U transcends major events (forty-four)
In fact, for a long time, most of Schiller's friends did not have a clear enough understanding of the severity of his symptoms of dissociative identity disorder, commonly known as split personality.
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 thinking tower, and know that there are many personalities in it, and even know that these are just normal conditions, and that there are pathologies underground under the thinking tower.
The abyss in which one lives.
But if each of Schiller's personality traits has been broken enough to act independently, then this matter has developed from unscientific to terrifying, even catastrophic.
"That's definitely Schiller." Natasha insisted, pressing her back against the door and saying, "I can see 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 optical principles, there is no shadow of him at the actual location corresponding to the reflection, which means there is only one reflection.
.”
"Schiller turned into a ghost." Natasha still had the same expression as if she had seen a ghost, and this was actually the most horrifying expression a female agent could make, but in fact it was much scarier 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 lowered her head and glanced at the clothes she was wearing. She had already put on a hospital gown after waking up here, which was the kind of blue and white tops and bottoms commonly seen in mental hospitals.
Suddenly she suddenly realized, and then said: "The cuff of that hand is not a hospital gown, but... a black shirt."
"But that is definitely Schiller." Natasha emphasized again: "I saw half of his face just now. I can't be wrong."
"That means he is not the Professor Schiller we know."
Batman seemed to have already made a guess. He glanced outside and found that there was no movement outside, so he began to tell.
"Remember how we got here?"
After a brief recollection, Natasha said: "I remember that after the previous game in the arena, we were all a little tired and fell asleep after getting in the car."
The female agent also discovered something was wrong. She said: "Actually, I haven't felt sleepy for many years. I don't need sleep to rest like ordinary people. Unless I want to sleep, I won't be sleepy."
"And even on the bus, our situation is far from safe. It is impossible for me to fall asleep in this situation. This completely conflicts with my instinct."
"I will not sleep in any unsafe place." Batman said: "It's not that I don't want to sleep, but that I can't sleep. That is to say, except for those places that are relatively safe for me,
I can't sleep anywhere."
"But you were asleep."
"This shows that this kind of sleep is mandatory and it is our entrance to the next level of the game."
Batman then speculated: "There is a problem, why does it have to be sleep?"
"The murderer in this level can completely drive the bus into a thick fog like before, and when it comes out again, it will be a different world. That can also allow us to enter the fantasy world, instead of having to keep us in the bus.
fell asleep on the bed.”
"You mean, this is a dream?"
Batman nodded and said: "Since ancient times, people have had various speculations about dreams and deep fears about nightmares, which have spawned countless literary or movie works. Since several previous games have similar
The plot of a horror movie, so I’m afraid it will be the same this time.”
"The murderer in the dream..." Natasha immediately thought of a certain classic character, but suddenly she was stunned.
"Yes." Batman nodded, confirming Natasha's guess, and then said: "This is a dream. Dreams occur in our conscious space, which means that this world is on the same level as our conscious world.
, and Schiller’s world of consciousness too.”
Natasha slowly opened her 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, glanced outside, and then walked out, just in time to bump into the superego who was walking to the elevator.
"Why didn't they hit each other?"
"Something is very wrong," said the superego. "In any case, pathologies are part of Schiller. They share a body with us."
"They would never mess around like this, because if the tower is affected and loses control, Schiller's body will also be injured. This is a danger beyond the control. It is definitely not what I want. It has never happened before.
.”
"Then why did they hit?"
The superego shook his head, walked towards the elevator and said, "We'll find out when we go down and take a look."
So Greed took the elevator to the abyss with the superego.
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.
As if he realized something, he said: "Go to the edge."
Greedy was stunned, and the two of them rushed to the edge without stopping, and then saw a big hole in the wall on the side of the abyss.
"Run away?!" Greedy shouted in shock: "But there is nothing outside the subconscious..."
The superego shook his head and said: "There must be space outside, otherwise they wouldn't hit."
After Greed thought for a while, he agreed with the superego's statement, because he knew that the pathological state also knew that the outside of the abyss, that is, the outside of the subconscious boundary, was solid. There was nothing except the wall, so there was no need for them to hit it.
wall in this direction.
But if they hit it, it means they may have noticed that there is something outside their subconscious, at least there is a space for them to pass through. So what is it?
Surrounding the subconscious, in the space around it, Greed slowly spit out 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 within the subconscious, but it happens to be around."
"The dreams above the subconscious are too shallow and easy to wake up. The dreams below the subconscious are too deep and difficult to construct. The dreams within 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 said after thinking: "When a person is in sleep, the limbs cannot move freely. That is because the consciousness that controls the body's actions is completely dormant, and the software system does not allow it to move freely.
If the command is issued, the hardware will naturally not work."
"However, when monitoring sleepwalking patients, it is found that their brains still send signals to their limbs, but the patients will not remember it after they wake up. This is because the subconscious mind, not the conscious mind, controls their bodies at this time."
"Of course the subconscious mind can control the body, and it does so without the conscious awareness." Superego said, and he then speculated: "Sleepwalking is a manifestation of the dream state in the subconscious mind controlling the body."
Greed seemed to have thought of something, and said: "If you want to control a person's body, then create a dream in his subconscious, and let his actions in the dream affect his limbs in the real world."
"But if you want to control the bodies of a group of people at the same time, then creating dreams in a relatively independent subconscious space is not a good choice."
"If a certain existence already has the ability to create dreams, like the dream god, then creating a common dream like a dream kingdom would be a good choice."
"And the other party probably doesn't have as powerful an authority as the Dream God." The superego crossed his arms and said, "He can't create the deepest dream under everyone's consciousness, so he chooses to create a common dream around the subconscious of several people."
The greedy instinct constructs the imagination of similar scenes. In other words, normal dreams occur within the human subconscious, just like sesame seeds in glutinous rice balls.
A shared dream is like putting glutinous rice balls into a bowl. The glutinous rice balls are soaked in the soup, and this soup is a shared dream.
Both sesame seeds and soup can affect the taste of glutinous rice balls, just like ordinary dreams and common dreams can control people's limbs by affecting the subconscious.
The superego looked up at the ceiling of the abyss and said: "Although the movements in the dream and the movements in reality do not exactly correspond, there is a certain correlation. If I guessed correctly, the bodies of all the contestants have already moved in reality.
.”
In the ward, Batman and Natasha's speculations continued, but they reached an impasse.
They guessed that this was a dream, but they did not think of the real intention of the murderer in this level.
Because there is an obvious contradiction here.
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.
But dreams and the real world may not completely correspond. Now a day and a night have passed in the dream, but only two hours may have passed in reality.
But it is obviously impossible for this murderer to 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 dream, wouldn't it mean that he has to wait in vain for several days in the dream world before he can start killing?
So it should be the other way around, that is, 1 hour in the dream is equal to 12 hours in reality. In this way, the day and night they spent in the dream is equivalent to several days spent in reality, so the security protection will definitely not apply. Killing people The devil can definitely kill people.
But in this case, why doesn't this murderer take action?
Although the ceiling was smashed and the tiles were lifted just now, these actions are more effective than harmful. Let alone Batman and Natasha, just call a few college students and they will only break a few skins.
This isn't really a horror movie. It has to use huge special effects to kill in one hit. Since there are ghosts in the dream, why don't we just rush up and strangle a few people to death?
Then there is another possibility that the murderer cannot control the flow of time in dream reality.
The flow rate of time is forcibly fixed at a value that is beneficial to the contestants, that is, one day has passed in the dream and several hours have passed in reality.
Then why did the murderer encourage a few people to escape from the hospital?
If it takes several days for the killer to start killing, then keeping them in the hospital is the best option.
Judging from the weakened physical fitness of the contestants, there is no need to create a hospital scene at all. They can't smash open a tin house directly, and they can just go on a killing spree when the time comes.
"Have you noticed that the two corridors we just ran through are extremely long?" Batman said with a frown.
