Chapter 122 What does it mean to not live for a few days [1000 words added! ]
Lin Yi couldn't help but relate the situation at that time and then recalled it.
【What you are going to do next is very dangerous...】
【Isn’t it a good thing to have a cannon fodder who trusts you...】
【What's wrong...】
【She doesn't have long to live, so some things are better to be discussed openly and honestly...】
【Didn't you notice...that guy in the blue bib has been staring at her from the beginning, as if he were looking at a dead person? 】
"Cannon fodder? Dead person?"
A flash of light suddenly flashed in front of Lin Yi's eyes: "Did you make an inference based on the blue bib chef's gaze on her?"
He thought that the "Ru Zai" blue bib chef was not staring at everyone. In his impression, he was staring at them. Other than that, he was staring at Li Huiyuan.
"No...then according to what you said, we won't live long?" Lin Yi said in surprise.
Young Master, this joke is not funny at all!"
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Tian Bufan asked, but he did not continue, but glanced at Wei Liang and Li Huiyuan.
Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, then he consciously took out a napkin, rolled it up and stuffed it in his ears, then covered it with both hands...
This smooth and silent operation was so skillful that Lin Yi wanted to go over and slap him.
"He still 'refuses' to listen, so..." Tian Bufan glanced at Li Huiyuan, "Just listen to our next conversation. If you have any doubts, don't think about it. When it's over, ask Lao Lin directly, and Just take what Lao Lin told you as a fact that must be accepted, or the truth, do you understand? "
Li Huiyuan was still addicted to the nightmare of losing her student ID card. She just nodded in confusion after hearing this.
But Tian Bufan patted her shoulder heavily, with a cold and serious expression. Coupled with his 1.9 meter body, there was an oppressive feeling like a giant bear looking down at Little Red Riding Hood: "I'm not dating you. I am "ordering" you to do something, do you understand? "
Li Huiyuan was shocked by Tian Bufan's aura, and her whole body trembled, and her brain seemed to be shutting down. It started working quickly: "I, I know!" Tian Bufan nodded slightly, and then said to Lin Yi: "Maozi was contaminated as soon as he entered the school, which caused us to be contaminated as well. This is an invisible crisis in itself. There is a sword in ancient Greek legend called the 'Sword of Damocles', which means 'the sword that hangs from the top', and now, this sword is hanging above all of our heads."
"Once the pollution intensifies to the point where the thread wrapped around the sword's hilt is severed, we will all be buried here. Do you think we won't live long?"
Lin Yi muttered: "You mean, her situation is the same as ours?"
"The blue bib chef must have some mechanism, but it must react to "pollution". From this, it can be seen that she must also be polluted, but I don't know the degree of her pollution. I don't know the exact method to judge the depth of pollution yet, but you can ask the sports student to help take a look at her situation."
Lin Yidao: "Okay."
Physical education students have a way to distinguish between art students and experience students, and can even distinguish between normal art students and weird art students and non-human classmates. This shows that they may also have the ability to "perceive", but we don't know whether the perceptual abilities of physical education students and art students are the same.
h "But Lao Lin." Tian Bufan said calmly, "You accidentally made a wrong question."
h What can be done to save her, but... what can be done to maximize the effect?" When Tian Bufan said this, he did not take into account the feelings of Li Huiyuan who was listening at the side, as if he directly opened her wound to reveal the bloody reality.
Li Huiyuan on the side turned pale when she heard these words, but she lowered her head slightly, bit her lips, and tried to restrain her somewhat collapsed emotions.
· Tian Bufan spread his hands and expounded the cold facts indifferently, as if making a report: "We don't even know how to save our own people, how dare we talk so boldly to save others?"
· "What we can do is to each take what he needs."
· "She is contaminated , and I don’t know what is right... So it’s just right, let her be a chess piece for us to test the boundaries of the campus rules.”
“It is extremely dangerous for a planet to explore the universe, but if it can have a satellite surrounding itself and gradually expand the boundaries, it will be much better in all aspects.”
"We are like a planet now, and she is our satellite."
hh "If we can finally find a way to save ourselves, then she can also be saved."
hh "Frankly speaking, this is good for us. , which reduces the risk of our actions, but for her... the risk may be slightly higher than that of acting alone." Tian Bufan did not deliberately conceal the risk factor to ensure that Li Huiyuan on the side could obtain the same "objective" amount of information as Lin Yi.
"Of course, there is a more naked term for her than 'satellite' - cannon fodder."
"With bad luck, she may die miserably, and we have nothing to do."
Hearing the word "cannon fodder", Lin Yi frowned subconsciously, feeling that it was a bit inhumane to use others as pawns to test the school's rules, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
Tian Bufan’s analysis is very objective and rational.
They have mastered more elements of cognition and rules, and Li Huiyuan has been cornered... In this desperate situation, if she agrees to be cannon fodder, then they will act together and win if they can. If she doesn't agree, then break up and go our separate ways, and it's up to her to win or lose.
Lin Yi also understood why Tian Bufan asked Li Huiyuan to listen to their conversation, because this was indeed an open and honest negotiation, and they could even ignore Li Huiyuan and let her fend for herself.
Because they have just begun to explore the campus.
Because they don’t have to have a cannon fodder.
Besides...who says they themselves are not cannon fodder?
Once they start exploring the campus, they are just bigger cannon fodder in the end.
Hence, everything depends on Li Huiyuan’s own decision.
"You don't need to make a decision now." Tian Bufan glanced at Li Huiyuan flatly, "You and Lao Lin are in the same classroom, so you still have time to make a decision. Of course, you'd better make a choice as soon as possible..."
"Starting from the small monsters when you first download the dungeon, slowly fighting the elite monsters, and joining in midway to fight the elite monsters together, are two completely different difficulties."
"You may still have a little time, but in total it doesn't leave you much time."
Li Huiyuan was silent, her heart was extremely tangled, as if she was trapped in a deep whirlpool of thinking.
"Long wait, I'm back." At this time, Wei Shan's voice came from not far away. He had lost his shoes and was walking back along the mountain road.
"Then go back to the teaching building." After Wei Shan completely joined them, Lin Yi nodded, and then glanced at Li Huiyuan.
"I..." Li Huiyuan took a deep breath, as if she had made an extremely difficult decision, and then said with some anxiety, "I want to tell the class teacher about losing my student ID first, and then...then make a decision, okay?"
Tian Bufan smiled slightly: "As we just said, you still have time, of course you can do this."
Li Huiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Then...that's it, thank you."
Lin Yi told Tian Bufan what he saw at the entrance of the student restaurant about the experience student crossing the blue bib chef.
Tian Bufan nodded slightly: "Actually, I also saw it when I came here...a somewhat interesting phenomenon. Do you have any guesses about this?"
Lin Yi had indeed thought of something, so he expressed his thoughts: "I think it's a bit like what Wang Yangming said, the feeling of "nothing outside the heart"..."
"Obviously in our view, the chef with the blue bib is standing there, but because those experiencing it do not cognitively see its existence, they let the fact that "it does not exist" "take effect" for themselves. "
"It looks like...the kind of glass stacks in scenic spots."
"Oh?" Tian Bufan's eyes lit up, and he actually showed a hint of joy, "You actually think of the glass plank road? Please tell me in detail!"
Lin Yi did not expect Tian Bufan to be interested in this statement: "I feel that the role of 'cognition' is like the glass on the glass plank. For us, the glass is transparent, and we can see the world under the glass, or the 'layer' under the glass."
"But for us, For the experience students, the glass is opaque and no different from the floor tiles, so they cannot see another "layer" under the glass, and they will not be aware of the blue bib chef in that "layer". Part of his inspiration came from the plastic curtain at the entrance of the student restaurant.
"And I guess the strength and transparency of 'glass' should be related to our cognition."
“Similarly walking on it, we can capture more information, and when our cognition begins to transform or distort, the properties of this glass will change, allowing us to see the blue bib chef, or we may fall into the ‘layer’ below the glass.”
“The blue bib chef is like a person clinging to the back of the glass. It can see us and may be able to communicate with us, but I don’t know if it contains some special mechanism, and I don’t know what will happen if we interact with the blue bib chef.”
"But the best way for us to face it now is to ignore it and avoid any contact with it in the five senses."
Tian Bufan smiled and said: "You made rapid progress when you woke up?"
Lin Yi touched his nose in embarrassment: "Now that I have some confidence, of course I won't be timid, and I will be bolder in thinking about problems."
"Tian Gongzi, what about you? What are your thoughts?"
"How can you be so sure that what I thought of is not what you just said?" Tian Bufan asked.
Lin Yi coughed dryly: "I always feel that no matter how much I think about, you can think of more than me. It's possible that you have discovered more details when I just said it..."
Tian Bufanyu There was silence for a moment, and then he slowly opened his mouth and came up with an even weirder conjecture: "The idea of the glass plank road is very interesting. It allowed me to merge it with my previous inspiration and broaden my ideas a little..."
Lin Yi quickly pricked up his ears.
"It's still a matter of thinking from a cognitive perspective." Tian Bufan reminded him first, and then slowly said, "Imagine a dark and shiny tile, and we are a group of people wearing ski glasses, walking on this tile with stiff necks and bowed heads."
“This tile is both smooth and translucent, bright enough to reflect our shadows clearly.”
“And ski glasses have a limited field of view, and our field of vision is only the limited area in front of us.”
"So in fact, we have always been watching the limited shadows moving in the ceramic tiles... The world we think is just what our hearts recognize based on this extremely limited vision, but in fact it is not like this..."
"We are in the real world, but what we see is a false reflection, and the chef with the blue bib is actually in the real world, but its shadow cannot appear in our limited field of vision?"
"One day... we learned to shake our heads to expand our horizons, and then saw more of the world, thereby supplementing the "real world" in our cognition Filled with more details..."
"Then as the field of view widened, we saw the blue bib chef, and the blue bib chef also noticed us because of our shaking..."
"It's possible that the blue bib chef has been standing beside us all along, but...we haven't met the conditions to trigger more of its mechanisms."
Lin Yi's mind suddenly buzzed: "The kind of "The Matrix"? Real and fake world? Once we find out that the world is fake, we will be attacked by the so-called maintainers of order in this world? Sculpture?"
After Tian Bufan said this, Lin Yi thought of many things in an instant.
"That's not what I meant." Tian Bufan smiled helplessly and shook his head. "It's just a conjecture in the form of an analogy. If S City University is fake, what about our previous world? We are not the "aboriginals" here!"
Lin Yi was awakened: "Yes, yes, we came here on the blue school bus..."
"So just listen to it first and don't think too much. As I said just now, it's just a "somewhat interesting" conjecture that I extended." Tian Bufan said, "The more conjectures we have about this world, the more divergent our cognition will be. When we encounter outrageous discoveries, we won't be frightened into having weird visions..."
"It is equivalent to changing the direction and strengthening our resistance when our cognition is distorted."
Lin Yi took a breath slowly and nodded: "What you said makes sense, I took note of it."

X May 8, 2023, 11:49.
Everyone walked back to the teaching building along the cobblestone road. After Tian Bufan said goodbye to them, he took the branch road to the teaching building C, while the rest of the people continued to walk towards the teaching building B.
Li Huiyuan has been listening to the conversation between Lin Yi and Tian Bufan. One moment it was about "glass plank road", another moment it was "imagine the reflection of the tiles", and then it was "real world", "broaden horizons" and other words that sounded so confusing that the whole person felt that they were in a cloud and were missing.
It was like a person who had never played a game suddenly heard two gamers analyzing the use of "131-point zone" and "41-point push" between lineups, and it seemed that he felt something like a "generation gap"...
She lowered her head and followed Lin Yi and the others by instinct. She couldn't help but think about the student ID card, wondering what she would tell her class teacher later, and what she would do to her class teacher later...
Although she was ready to be used as "cannon fodder" by Lin Yi, she was still extremely uneasy and panicked in her heart, because cannon fodder was not a good word after all.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her body was terribly cold. She was walking under the sun, but she felt like she was in an ice cellar.
It's so cold...
Li Huiyuan stroked her arms in a meaningful way, and suddenly found that her arms had been covered with a fine layer of frost for some reason, giving her hands the texture of ice.
How can it still feel cold under such a huge sun?
She had some strange feelings in her heart, and only then did she realize that the light around her seemed a little dark...
Is it dark?
She looked up at the sky.
The clear sky was filled with thick clouds at some point, and the vision was obscured by the clouds, leaving only dim light and shadow floating between the sky and the earth. The dust in the sky was like yellow sand, making the whole world fade away. The color has faded...
Deep in the thick clouds, the sun seems to have only an outline left...
A dark wind suddenly blew by her ears, making her shiver subconsciously.
There seemed to be some swaying sounds of forest leaves in the wind, like waves.
Waves...?
She was stunned for a moment, and had a flash of inspiration. The sound of the colliding forest leaves became louder and louder, as if adjusting the sound with a knob, and finally became as violent as the waves...
She felt that the cobblestone road under her feet seemed to have changed, and it looked dark and smooth, like a reef or some kind of seaside gravel...
Thanks to book friends "Kawaya Akira" and "wantly" for the tip! !
PS: I have added 1,000 words to the alliance leader Meow's "Full Moon and Clear Glory", and currently I still owe 11,000 words (1,000 words for Meow's + 10,000 words for Cup Thinking)!
If nothing unexpected happens, starting from today, I will update 1,000 words every day until the debt is paid off~
