"As long as you experience those things, no matter what the result is, no matter what the purpose is, no matter whether it is valuable or not, no matter whether it is meaningful..."
"As long as you have experienced it, even if you get nothing in the end, it will still exist."
Xu Cheng's eyes were full of tenderness.
These words are not to defend Qianqian.
His unfortunate daughter is an independent "person", and a person's life does not need other people's explanations.
Everything Xu Cheng said were the thoughts he poured into his life.
"who I am?"
Xu Cheng suddenly asked such a puzzling question.
Immediately, he asked and answered himself:
"I am Xu Cheng."
"——This name is the starting point of everything."
"When I got the name, the story started."
"Everything I've ever done, no matter what, as long as I've done it, it exists over there."
"These existential things ultimately constitute my name."
"So when I recall my past life again, I can speak my name calmly."
Xu Cheng smiled gently.
"I am Xu Cheng."
"——This name is the end of everything."
The white mist of the cigarette in his mouth slowly rose, and the black and white ashes fell to the ground little by little.
Like time.
Like life.
"And you?"
Xu Cheng turned to look at the scholar and suddenly asked:
"May I have your name?"
"I?"
Xue Xue was stunned for a moment and then replied: "I am a scholar."
"May I have your name?"
"scholar."
"Really?"
"real."
"I do not believe."
scholar:"……"
If Xu Cheng hadn't behaved so calmly, even scholars would have thought that the old man in front of them had been driven crazy by the current situation!
What Xu Cheng said next made the scholars even more surprised.
Xu Cheng suddenly straightened up and imitated the scholar's movements, including the way he held his cigarette.
Then, Xu Cheng said seriously to the scholar: "Actually, I am a scholar."
scholar:"?"
Several big question marks suddenly popped up in his head, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Xu Chenghuli was selling.
But Xu Cheng's narrative continues.
"I am a scholar."
"I am a combination of cognitive characteristics and linking characteristics."
"I wanted to build on the eyewitness theory and bring everyone together."
"First of all, what I need to do is to get rid of all the 'fixed values' including me."
"--Right?"
After saying this, Xu Cheng turned to look at the scholar and narrowed his eyes.
"Now, I am also a scholar."
"What on earth are you talking about!"
The scholar's mood finally changed.
The words and deeds of the smelly old man in front of him were so unreasonable that the scholar always felt that he was unable to control the current situation.
This feeling of uneasiness came to mind, making the scholar extremely unhappy.
"Look, look at the arena!"
The scholar pointed to the arena diagonally below them and said sternly: "The one being beaten up there is your daughter!"
"This is not an illusion, this is reality that is really happening!"
The scholar slammed his hand against the railing.
There was even a sense of pleading in his next tone!
That is a manifestation of neuroticism in people with cognitive characteristics.
"Old sir, my current enemies are only eight other fixed values including you."
"I'm going to kill you, or change you so that you will stop doing other meaningless things and focus on dealing with weirdness."
"But to the whole Wei Lan, I am not a bad person!"
"I'm on the witness side!"
The scholar held tightly to the iron railing in front of him.
Of course, those are actually illusory images, and the scholars are just expressing their excited emotions.
"I hope Azure will win against Weirdness."
"To this end, I hope everyone will focus on meaningful things."
"But look!"
The scholar pointed to the arena where the fierce battle was taking place.
"The game they are playing is meaningless!"
At this point, in fact, scholars have already finished explaining their opinions.
The rest of his words were just a repetition of everything he had said before.
He could not convince Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng obviously could not completely convince scholars of this "setting".
But the scholar still wants to give it a try.
He was unwilling to give up the possibility of persuading Xu Cheng easily...
"I am Shen Yan."
Suddenly, a strange voice came from behind the scholar.
scholar:"?!"
This sound was something the scholar had never heard before, so it frightened the scholar.
"who?!"
The scholar turned around and saw a thin old man wearing a loose robe.
It's the old man.
He didn't know when he walked from the auditorium to the stand!
If it were in the real world, scholars would certainly not be surprised, and they might even directly chop with a knife.
But where are everyone now?
It is in the illusion of a middle-aged shop owner.
Everything here is illusory, just a real-time projection of another location.
Just like the iron railing in front of a scholar, no matter how hard you try, you can't bend it.
At the same time, although they can clearly see the real-time scene of the underground arena, to everyone in the underground arena, scholars and others do not exist at all!
Can the "people in the monitored content" see the "monitor"?
This is simply impossible!
It is precisely because of this that the scholar was so surprised when the old man said his name.
Could that little old man see them?!
But he is obviously just an ordinary person!
The scholar was puzzled, and then turned his attention to the middle-aged shopkeeper not far away.
The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with him.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"The simpler the original feature, the harder it is to crack. To put it bluntly, my original feature is a VR surveillance camera!"
"He is not a supernatural being, how could he see through the surveillance camera!"
The middle-aged shop owner tried his best to defend himself.
In fact, scholars also understand this truth.
Scholars are also familiar with the middle-aged shop owner's original characteristics, and theoretically there is no way it can be cracked.
In this case, how could that little old man talk to himself?
The scholar stretched out his hand and waved it back and forth in front of the old man a few times, and then found that the other man seemed to be unable to see him.
as expected.
The old man then continued to add:
"Maybe there is someone here? I can't see it, but I always feel like there are a few pairs of eyes here."
Is it intuition?!
The scholar's cross pupils suddenly tightened. He didn't understand how the ordinary little old man in front of him could see through the original energy fluctuations in the stands.
"I am Shen Yan."
The old man repeated: "I don't know why, I just want to repeat this sentence and this name..."
"I am Shen Yan."
At first glance, it seemed that the old man was talking to himself, but the scholars on the side knew that what the old man said came entirely from his own intuition.
…
The old man said to the empty space: "Watch the game, watch everything that makes me proud."
Xu Cheng said: "Let's watch the game and see the life my daughter agrees with."
scholar:"……"
He fell silent.
After thinking again and again, the scholar's cross pupils revealed unspeakable fear.
