My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 333 Analysis of the Truth of the World

Number One doesn’t dare to gamble.

He was even more afraid that his colleague told the truth, which would leave the person in front of him with the impression that he was not telling the truth.

So after thinking it over, he decided to tell the truth.

Anyway, it was that colleague who told the truth first, so it doesn't matter if he speaks out now.

"This is a virtual world. Our company borrowed the allusion of 'Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly' and named it 'Zhuang Xiao World'."

"."Zhuang Xiao continued to remain silent.

Zhuang Xiao's world? My world?
Doesn’t this mean that the guy with the clear card is the protagonist?

Otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.

Zhuang Xiao was thinking, but No. 1 obviously thought Zhuang Xiao was not satisfied with his answer, so he immediately told him everything he knew:

"Originally, the monitoring AI system discovered a huge bug in the world. In fact, many small bugs will be self-repaired by the server from the bottom up, but this bug seems to be out of control. So the company sent us to investigate what the bug is and where the problem comes from.

“But there’s a problem here. We were supposed to possess a specific NPC and then gather together to investigate, but now we can’t get in, so we can only wander around in this recycling station.

“But the problem is that this recycling station is also different from the original setting, at least it is not consistent with what I learned during the on-the-job training.

"This shows that the bug has grown stronger, and the 'Zhuang Xiao World' is now full of danger.

"We are looking for a way to get to the 'Zhuang Xiao World', but we haven't found one yet. So we did it after seeing that you knew about it. Our purpose is to catch you and investigate some situations."

"Is that why you shot me with a bazooka?"

Zhuang Xiao smiled, then loosened the tie around his wrist and tossed him a one-dollar coin. "Toss ten times."

Number One caught the coin and looked up in surprise, "You too?"

"I don't believe you now, you toss a coin first." Zhuang Xiao said concisely.

Number One immediately complied and flipped the coin ten times.

All face up.

Zhuang Xiao took the coin back and tossed it ten times, and it landed heads up ten times as well.

Number One blurted out, "You are not a native NPC!"

He was visibly relieved.

Zhuang Xiao did not answer this question, but said: "Old Huang and I are trapped in the 'Zhuang Xiao World' and cannot get out. He is still there, and I am trying to find a way out."

Lao Huang is the security guard’s surname.

"Then we are one of us!" Number One said immediately, "No wonder the higher-ups felt it was strange! Old Huang was doing routine maintenance but he didn't go out, so the higher-ups sent us in to investigate what was going on!"

The security guard really had something to hide.

Zhuang Xiao understood, "There is something wrong with my memory. There is something wrong with this world, which will affect our thinking. I suspect it is related to a bug.

"By the way, how do you calculate the speed of time flowing outside and inside?"

"The time flow rate is one to one. This virtual world is a groundbreaking technology of our company. It was officially launched on September 9 last year. Before that, it should have been in the internal testing stage. Only people in the relevant departments know the details. I am in the security department, so I don't know many things."

After answering, No. 1 asked Zhuang Xiao, "How did you get to this 'recycling station'?"

"I followed the normal process to leave 'Zhuang Xiao's World', but I didn't get out. Instead, I ended up here. As soon as I entered the city, you bombed me." Zhuang Xiao replied.

Number One immediately asked, "What are the clues?"

Zhuang Xiao didn't answer, just looked at him.

And cold sweat slowly seeped out of No. 1's forehead.

"It seems that you are not an idiot. How did you find out?" Zhuang Xiao suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Number One was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "The only one who has entered the 'Zhuang Xiao World' now is Old Huang. Our bodies in the 'Zhuang Xiao World' are fixed and correspond to each other. They were arranged in advance according to our appearance and names. We got the relevant information when we came in. Here, there should be only Old Huang."

Zhuang Xiao smiled, then killed him with a knife.

Looking at No. 1 falling to the ground and dying, he felt quite emotional.

These people are not stupid. Even at this time, they are still pretending to be serious and trying to get me to talk.

But I also tossed the coin ten times and it came up heads every time.

His attitude was obviously different at that time, but he still chose to use clichés.

This means that he no longer considered himself a "native NPC" from that time on, but he still did not consider himself one of their own.

So, either someone outside the company broke into "Zhuang Xiao World", like a hacker.

Or there are different factions within the company.

If we analyze it this way, their purpose in coming here is not just to investigate BUGs, but also to clear out the "enemies".

That's why they launched rockets to bomb themselves in the first place without asking any questions.

Because in their perception, the people who appear in the "recycling bin" will not have their own consciousness, just like those "people" in the garbage pit that the elderly Shu Die took them to see.

So when a person who can drive a car and move freely appears in this "recycling bin", which is also the "shadow world", their first reaction is that he is an enemy.

Just now, No. 1 confirmed his identity as the "enemy" and then tried to get some information.

He probably knew he had no chance of survival, but how could he get the message across?
So if they die in this world, they won’t die outside?

But it’s hard to say. The guy’s desire to survive just now can’t be acted out.

Or maybe he thought that if he died here, it didn't mean he would die outside.

But there is a problem within them, and this might change. If he dies here, he will also die outside, but he himself doesn't know it.

Zhuang Xiao then went to the next room and asked the same question again, and this time he got the same answer.

So he got rid of the guy next door as well.

He didn't rush to leave afterwards. Instead, he began to summarize and analyze based on the existing information.

[1. The other party was sent by Mengdie Company, which is the company that developed this world. Judging from the company name, it is suspected to be related to Shudie.]

[2. Outsiders in this world all have corresponding "suits", so their names and appearances are the same as the suits.]

[3. So there is also Dong Weirui outside, and she is suspected to be a company employee, or a company executive, and she is really Dong Zeyu's sister, or she may not be Dong Zeyu's sister, but in any case, there is definitely a person named Dong Weirui.]

[4. Shudie, Gu Shiyue and An Lan are also suspected to be "covers", but it is hard to be sure. At least for now, Shudie and An Lan are more like "native NPCs" who discovered the truth of the world due to a bug. ]

[5. The BUG may have been caused by them. This world was created by intercepting past history, but starting from September 2024, 9, it no longer conforms to the original historical trend, so the world began to rely on the AI server to deduce it, resulting in a BUG. ]

[6. The time point when the BUG appears should be December 2024, 12.]

[7. If it is true as I think, then I am the underlying logic of this world. As long as I am intact, the underlying logic of this world will be fine. But on December 2024, 12, a 'millennium bug' event similar to that in 31 occurred on the Internet.]

The so-called "millennium bug" refers to the fact that in the 20th century, many computer programs used only binary numbers to represent years, so when processing dates across centuries, incorrect results would appear. These incorrect results further caused various system dysfunctions and even crashes.

The so-called "BUG" is the English word for "bug".

[8. So it was on December 2024, 12, when the New Year's Eve came, that a certain logic bug was triggered, causing me, who was originally the underlying logic of the world, to die. As a result, more bugs appeared in the entire system during the self-repair process, which were An Lan, Shu Die and others.]

[9. Although there are a lot of bugs, the world still barely runs. Until 2077, these bugs have developed to a point that can no longer be ignored, so the entire system caused a total collapse. The fuse was my death, and the starting point of the collapse was An Lan's return to 1940 through the "time machine". From then on, different timelines began to form, and those timelines whose logic finally couldn't hold began to collapse and destroy. ] [10. My time reversal is not a cheat or plug-in, but a bug in the world's logic that was fed back to me, so I can only passively trigger it after meeting certain conditions, but not actively trigger it. ]

[11. The world is getting weirder and weirder because there are more and more bugs, which eventually affect the whole world. So if you think in this way, it means that my whole world is heading towards destruction, and maybe it will completely collapse in the near future.]

It's right! It's all right!
Although there is a lot of Zhuang Xiao's imagination in it, it is not difficult to draw this conclusion by combining all the clues from the past to the present.

So, the world is about to be destroyed?

Zhuang Xiaoke couldn't sit still anymore.

We have to find Shu Die as soon as possible!
But where did they all go?
We can't all go out.

Or has he already merged with Shu Die from "Zhuang Xiao's World"?

It shouldn’t be the case. Xiaodie’s temperament as a female college graduate cannot be concealed.

So those Shudies should still be in this "shadow world".

Zhuang Xiao bent down to pick up the pistol from the corpse on the ground, and then checked the bullets.

The magazine is full.

Then he found three fully loaded magazines on the other person.

Glock

Zhuang Xiao thought about it, then ran to the next door to search for a pistol and magazine.

Then he wondered.

"Why are they all Glocks?"

You have to know that these people came from outside, and it was half a century later.

Why is this "classical" pistol still in use half a century later?
You have to know that in the "Shadow World" it is also the year 2077, and those Shudies are using laser weapons.

Is it that the technology outside has regressed, or is it because they are unable to carry those high-tech weapons from outside after they come in?

Zhuang Xiao thought it was the latter.

After all, virtual reality has come out.
Zhuang Xiao's memory of this thing is either from science fiction movies and TV series like "Westworld" or from online game novels he read online before.

With this level of technology already available, it’s impossible for us to still be using gadgets developed in the 20th century.

But none of this matters right now.

We still have to find those Shudies quickly.

Zhuang Xiao climbed up to the rooftop and began to observe the surroundings with the telescope he took from those people.

He wondered where those Shudie would be.

If it's not here, there are probably two possibilities.

Or they are all hidden underground.

Or they went to another "shadow world".

But Zhuang Xiao quickly ruled out the second possibility.

Because he saw the changes in the surrounding buildings through the telescope.

I couldn't see it clearly from below just now, but now I can see it clearly standing on the top of the tall building.

Many of the buildings in the distance do not quite match the cyberpunk architectural style of the elderly Shu Die. They look more like the architectural style of fifty or sixty years ago.

That is, from the beginning of the 2024st century to around .

There are even many buildings overlapping each other, as if half of a building was abruptly cut onto another building, and what's even more outrageous is that it seems to be the same building.

"Splicing. Is it what I thought?"

Zhuang Xiao was shocked, and he quickly raised his telescope and looked up at the sky.

It was pitch black in the sky, but he still saw a lot of shadows.

Although I couldn't tell what they were, they looked like cars.

"So, the different 'shadow worlds' merged together?"

It's really possible!

So, is this the change that the elderly Shu Die mentioned?

In other words, all the Shudies in the "shadow world" have merged into one?

Then she must be hiding here!

Underground?
Zhuang Xiao had roughly guessed where she was.

There is a basement, and it is a place that Zhuang Xiao and Shu Die are familiar with.

After much thought, there are actually only two places that meet the requirements.

It is either the underground secret room of the Logistics Office of Dongfang No. 1 Middle School, or the basement of the warehouse of an abandoned chicken farm in the suburbs.

And the former is more likely!
In fact, logically speaking, it is more likely to be the basement of the chicken farm warehouse, but the key to the problem is that Zhuang Xiao came from there, and there are no signs of human activities around there.

But there was such a big commotion here, if Shu Die was in the city, she would definitely have known about it.

But there was no movement around now, which meant she might not be nearby.

Or. She's not on the ground!

Zhuang Xiaofei went downstairs quickly, thinking that it would be great if there was a car at this time.

As a result, as soon as he came out of the building, he saw a black BMW 525L in the corner.

He walked over and opened the car door with his hand, and the car key was placed on the cup holder.

Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, walked to the front and touched the front cover.

The warmth is still there.

This means that the car just arrived not long ago.

So, it should be the four people who drove over just now.

This is really like a pillow being delivered to your door just when you are sleepy.

Zhuang Xiao didn't hesitate and got into the car and started it.

He glanced at the dial and found that the fuel tank was full, so he closed the door, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Dongfang No. 1 Middle School.

Twenty minutes later, he walked out of Dongfang No. 1 Middle School.

There is indeed an underground secret room under the Logistics Department's office, but it is empty.

Then, the moment Zhuang Xiao raised his eyes, he suddenly thought of it!

The last time he was here! This basement leads to the underground of the community opposite the school!
This is the place that Shudie rented for them to have lunch and eat!
Zhuang Xiao no longer hesitated and decisively crossed the road and walked towards the community in front.
