Love letters are not allowed in exorcism notes

Chapter 94 Maybe we are all mentally ill

"Someone between me and my mom must be crazy."

"There is no doubt that your mother is mentally ill, as is my mother, and witches are all mentally ill."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, when we met at the door of the Sever City Library, Winsty gave him unreserved trust as always.

This made Li Mumu, who was almost vomiting after working on the topic all day, feel as warm as the spring breeze.

To be honest, Li Mumu's mind is indeed a little confused now.

It’s not that I can’t figure out who I am, but I can’t tell the difference between true and false in this world.

The words Li Ya said were not unfamiliar to her.

It's just that the "person" who said this to her last time was an advanced AI in a virtual reality game.

In the era she lived in, virtual reality games had evolved to the point where brain-computer interaction interfaces, proportional map simulation modeling, and each NPC had independent advanced AI could communicate normally with players.

Because the game is too realistic, the country has to legislate clearly, requiring that an obvious UI interface, life support system and safe exit button must be set up in the game.

As a senior game review anchor, Li Mumu has encountered advanced AIs with awakened consciousness in various games more than once, established a deep friendship with them, and even knew the address of the secret shelter where they hide.

Although it may sound counterintuitive, in her view, advanced AI is not scary.

Humanity once experienced a period of fear of AI, which was also called the "AI uncanny valley effect" by later generations.

As a result, I later discovered that the computing power of Skynet I imagined was not as good as a graphics card decades later.

Later, everyone discovered that the truly scary thing is not AI, but those "people" who are willing to confuse right and wrong in order to cover up their own sins, fabricate villains who are responsible for the evil of this world, and divert the attention of victims.

Today the villain can be AI, tomorrow it can be braised beef noodles, and the day after tomorrow it may be you.

Whether AI poses an actual threat to human beings is not what Li Mumu is most concerned about right now.

What concerned her most was that she heard the same words as the advanced AI from Li Ya.

This world is false, time is false, and space is false—isn’t this the NPC’s understanding of virtual reality games?

So, am I really traveling through time now, or am I playing an illegal virtual reality game?

Logically speaking, it's unlikely.

Game manufacturers make games to make money, not charity.Everyone talks about being there, but if you really forget about krypton gold when you are there, will your investment be in vain?

As a professional, one of the criteria for Li Mumu to judge the authenticity of this world is whether he can find the krypton gold window.

I haven't found it yet. It may be that the game manufacturer is more conscientious and waits until the novice mission is completed and the novice map is released before giving you a pop-up window.

Because of Li Ya's words, Li Mumu has been thinking about these things in his mind.

Until he meets Winston again.

"There is no doubt that your mother is mentally ill!"

She spoke categorically without any hesitation: "I told you, I am the only person you can trust in this world."

"So, my only trusted friend, can you tell me whether this world is real or fake?"

Li Mumu hoped to get more intelligence information from Winsty.

"Of course this world is real."

Winsty's tone was firm. "It's like textbooks in schools, jobs in companies, and fish and chips in restaurants. It's just because they are real that they are so boring. If I didn't need to eat and drink to maintain my vital signs, I would rather indulge in it. If you never wake up from a dream, at least you can still find some fun in it."

...Thank you for boasting so highly about your inability to live independently.

Li Ya is simply lazy and would rather pay someone to do housework.

Winstie has anti-social tendencies and autism, and she dislikes the whole world.

Who knows, family members? After finally traveling through time, my mother and best friend are not normal people.

Li Mumu only felt a lot of pressure.

The main purpose of her coming to the library today was to catch up on her common sense about the world.

As Li Ya said, not only did she have no talent, but she also did not love learning. The first 14 years of her life were almost wasted.

In fact, she was not such a child originally. It was just by chance that she met Winsty when she was four years old. The two of them became infatuated with each other, and from then on they became treacherous and out of control.

In Winsty's little head, the thought of perishing with the whole world was always floating around, but because she hated and disliked the world too much, she was unwilling to put it into practical action.

Li Mumu happens to be full of action.

It's like the kind of skull launcher that everyone moves once every round and she moves ten times.

The Sever City Public Library is about to close at six o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Mumu wouldn't come if the door was closed, it was quiet enough at night, and both she and Winsty were night owls, so they became more energetic as the night went on.

Holding a kerosene lamp in hand and walking between the tall bookshelves, it feels like a night adventure.

For two students who never read books unless necessary, a place like the "library" is indeed more exciting than the underground waterway.

Those books as thick as bricks, like big muscles, surrounded them silently, blocking the two delicate and pure brains in the corner...

The oppressive feeling brought by knowledge made Winsty couldn't help but her heart beat faster, and even her pale cheeks had a slight blush.

An ancient book with a black cover, no words on the cover, and no visible material fell from the bookshelf very suddenly, tumbling and falling at Li Mumu's feet.

Li Mumu stepped on it without even looking at it.

Books full of dark magic and forbidden knowledge are everywhere in the house.

She came today just to find some humanities and social science books for ordinary people.

Newspapers and magazines have the largest amount of information, are also the most timely and readable.

There was no habit of subscribing to newspapers at home, even those in the witch circle.

In Li Ya's words, wiping her butt is too hard.

The magazines in which she published her papers were all professional academic journals that would explode if ordinary people took a second look at them.

Li Mumu used the light of the kerosene lamp to find the "Saif Evening News" from the past year. This is the most orthodox newspaper in Saifu City and the largest circulation.

It does not need to rely on fabricating gossip and gimmicky headlines to attract readers like those tabloids, because its main business is to report domestic and foreign current affairs news, and it even has foreign reporters in other countries.

In practical terms, this newspaper is arguably the only legitimate channel through which the Seif people can learn about current affairs and politics.
