Eternal Night.

Chapter 373 BUG
Wu Xianxiao sat on a bench next to the square with a bruised face. He held a mobile phone in his hand and pressed it several times before finally opening the interface. He then dialed a number directly. After a long while, a squeaking sound finally came from the phone: "Hello?"

"I'm Wu Xianxiao." Wu Xianxiao touched his swollen lips and said in a slightly leaky voice.

There was silence for a moment on Zhizhi's side. Wu Xianxiao keenly heard a very low laugh, so he said seriously: "Let's talk about business, what are you laughing at!"

Zhizhi burst into laughter. After a few seconds, Zhizhi said, "I am Beelzebub now. If you have something to say, let's talk about it. By the way, where did you get your cell phone?"

Wu Xianxiao looked at his phone and said, "I just took it from a passerby. Don't worry, I stuffed a stack of money in it... Even if it's just a day or so, it's enough for me to restore my control over my body to between the bright and dark forces. I can still do this little thing. Let's not talk about this. Let me ask you, you said before that you, what's going on with the three of you disappearing?"

Beelzebub said seriously, "We arrived about two or three months earlier than you. After arriving here, the three of us were trapped in the same body. We are Wu Zhizhi, the younger sister of Wu Xianxiao, and our nickname is Zhizhi. We learned this information after entering this weekend scene. At the same time, the better we play the role of Wu Zhizhi, the slower we will dissolve. The more we deviate from the character's way of doing things, the faster we will dissolve."

Wu Xianxiao was silent for a while and then said, "Role playing?"

"No!"

Beelzebub immediately denied it: "It's a character abnormality!"

She thought for a moment and said, "This world should be a virtual world constructed by your memories, thoughts, circumstances, etc. An inexplicable supreme power monitors the entire world. As long as it deviates from what He believes to be 'real', the corrective power will descend. Therefore, the more we conform to Wu Zhizhi's personality, the less corrective power we will encounter, and vice versa."

"…The final product?"

Wu Xianxiao murmured, and he immediately asked: "Then why am I okay? You three should all know that I am not the original and real Wu Xianxiao. I am the latest personality of Wu Xianxiao after countless iterations in the darkness of cryo-hibernation. Whether it is behavior or memory, it has nothing to do with the Wu Xianxiao of this time period... Why don't I feel this correction?"

Beelzebub was silent for dozens of seconds before she said, "I can only think of three possibilities. When I called your number this morning, you mentioned the disappearance of your super brain. The first possibility is that the final product is absorbing your super brain."

"The second possibility is that the negative backlash from your mind has taken effect. The extremely horrifying negative backlash from your mind has caused the final product to not dare to correct you or absorb you."

"The third possibility... is a little unbelievable."

Wu Xianxiao also vaguely thought of the first two options. One was that the end producer was absorbing him, and the other was that the end producer did not dare to absorb him.

He didn't expect that there was a third possibility?
"What do you think the third possibility is?" Wu Xianxiao asked.

Beelzebub took a breath and said, "This is a real world."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned and said, "What do you mean? It's not an illusion? Isn't it the brain in the vat simulated by the final product with his special super brain?"

Beelzebub said, "In theory, no, it should be said that from any perspective, this should belong to the Brain in a Vat. But do you still remember the information mentioned in the transaction between you and the Root before we set out from the Arena?"

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and immediately said, "'The place you wished to go to is essentially going through a closed loop in multiple senses, from fate, to cause and effect, to time and space... After one hour at the latest, even a wish made in the Wanjie Arena will no longer be able to enter that coordinate location.' This is the information that the source said."

Beelzebub affirmed, "Yes, it is this passage, which mentions closed loops in multiple senses... If it is just a brain in a jar, just an illusion, a virtual reality, then it is impossible to achieve multiple closed loops. Although I have lost almost all my power and memory now, I also vaguely know that to achieve a closed loop, at least the root of the zero point three dream world is required, and this closed loop usually refers to the closed loop at the spatial level, and the higher level of time closed loop. The root of the zero point three dream world can only be achieved in their core areas, such as the wine pool that can never be drunk, such as the Ouroboros time loop that kills itself first and then gives birth to itself, etc."

"And the multiple closed loops also involve the levels of fate and cause and effect... This cannot be explained by illusion or falsehood!"

Wu Xianxiao asked in a deep voice: "So?

Beelzebub did not answer immediately. She said, "In order to become your partner, or what you call an external brain, before the rescue expedition, I specially talked with Wang Yihui, Gao Changgong and others, and also read many books and knowledge recorded by humans... Do you know what the Singularity Technology of the Seventh Singularity Company is?"

Wu Xianxiao frowned and thought about it.

He had not deliberately learned what the various singularity technologies of the thirteen singularity companies were. He just learned about some of the singularity technologies of the singularity companies by listening to people's conversations or by fighting. For example, the singularity technology of the first singularity company was genetic ascension, and the singularity technology of the second singularity company was black hole field... and in these memories, there was no singularity technology of the seventh singularity company. "Quantum suicide."

Beelzebub answered on behalf of Wu Xianxiao: "The Seventh Singularity Company's singularity technology is called quantum suicide. Its areas of expertise involve concepts such as parallel universes, eternal immortality, and cumulative transcendence. From what I have learned and collected, this company has never actually completed a quantum suicide experiment."

Wu Xianxiao asked in surprise: "So, this is not a singularity technology?"

"No, it's Singularity Technology, and there is evidence that its experiments have been completed, but there is no way to verify whether it has been completed." Beelzebub said.

Wu Xianxiao asked with a puzzled look in his eyes: "XX is possible, but XX is absolutely impossible?"

Beelzebub asked doubtfully, "I didn't hear what you just said."

"No, it's nothing."

Wu Xianxiao stopped making jokes and asked, "I don't understand what you mean. What do you mean by the experiment is completed? At that time, it is impossible to verify whether it is completed."

Beelzebub said, "The core theory of this technology is that the consciousness of life is immortal. Its scientific basis is the indestructibility of information in quantum theory and the ultimate anthropic principle. This theory holds that as long as a life is conscious and intellectual, its consciousness and intellectuality are eternal and immortal. When it faces death, it will make choices and encounters that only it can know, such as suicide, its bullets will always jam, and when it jumps from a height of 10,000 meters, it will always encounter strong winds, or a tornado that can just allow it to survive. For example, at the end of its life, it will always happen to encounter an explosive breakthrough in lifespan technology, or force its consciousness and soul to return to a certain point in the past."

"In short, the quantum suicide theory holds that intellectual life is an absolute existence to itself. To outsiders, it may appear to be dead, but there will always be a parallel world that keeps it alive, and the self-sensing of its consciousness will never cease."

Beelzebub paused here and continued, "Although we all know that death is the ultimate root, and when a person dies, his consciousness and soul will enter the afterlife in a way that we cannot understand, but as far as the Singularity Technology theory is concerned, the basis of quantum suicide exists, and what the Seventh Singularity Company wants to try is to obtain the ultimate result of quantum suicide in a controlled way, that is, immortality. From what I know, every experiment of Singularity Technology, no matter what the experimental carrier is, the result will be a lot of indescribable rotten meat, spiritual bodies, memes, ghost curses and the like, but these things in turn prove the completion of the experiment, because according to one of the speculations of quantum theory, when life exists almost forever, it will lead to negative cumulative changes in its essence, so that its material form and spiritual form will collapse at the same time, turning into this incomprehensible product... Does it look familiar?"

Wu Xianxiao said in a deep voice: "Yes...I exist, right?"

Beelzebub said, "Yes, negative energy accumulates. Your sea of ​​consciousness is negative... and one of the experimental methods of quantum suicide experiments is to let a life's consciousness and soul leave the body, that is, the body dies, and then the self enters the simulated past scene, and then cuts off the simulation of the past scene to achieve quantum-level parallel world penetration. Does it still sound familiar?"

Wu Xianxiao looked around and saw countless pedestrians. The familiar yet unfamiliar 21st century in his memory. After a long while, he said, "So you think that we are actually in the real world now, but it is just a parallel world of the past?"

Beelzebub said, "It's just a possibility, but the exciting part is just around the corner. According to the experimental process of quantum suicide singularity technology, if the connection is completely cut off, they will not be able to control it. So in this process, they will use soul codes to control the experimental individuals that penetrate into the parallel universe. The process is to let the experimental individuals constantly dissolve in the past time scenes of the parallel universe until they completely match their past selves. Then some kind of singularity technology creation will extract them back to the original time and space. However, this last process has never been successful, because the moment they are extracted, the experimental individuals will undergo horrible distortions that are irreversible."

Wu Xianxiao was silent for a while and said, "Indeed, according to what you said, we are now in a parallel universe scenario of quantum suicide. So the third possibility you mentioned is that the final product obtained the Singularity Technology Quantum Suicide of the Seventh Singularity Company and applied it to the weekend scenario where Chu Minghao was, and then used quantum suicide to close the loop of everything in this scenario?"

Beelzebub said: "Although it is incredible, I don't know how the final product did it, but this is my third guess, that is, everything here is real, but this is just a past scene of the parallel universe of quantum suicide."

Wu Xianxiao still asked with doubt: "But this third guess cannot explain why I am not affected by the correction."

"No, you can explain it!"

Beelzebub immediately said: "Because... no matter in any scene in the past, you don't exist!"

"Put an intellectual personality into a parallel universe scene fragment of its past existence, and then assimilate it. This is the possibility of the third guess, and it is also the method by which the final product devours you. But have you ever thought about it? You are not Wu Xianxiao!"

"You are Wu Xianxiao's latest personality after countless iterations in the endless super-brain time and space. In other words..."

Beelzebub said seriously: "You are the person who does not exist in Quantum Suicide!"

"You are the bug of all this!"
