Thriller Paradise

"Yes, I am." Fate followed brother Jue's words and said,"twenty-three ... Is already far beyond that. Woody is also very clear about her movements, but ... Because number 23 has not shown any hostility to our universe, Woody has not taken any action for the time being. " She paused for a moment."However, according to the current trend, it's only a matter of time before No. 23 makes the demonic gods of this universe feel threatened ... Once that happens, she and I will undoubtedly ... Encounter inevitable destruction."

"And you think ... I have the ability to help you stop that from happening?" Feng bujue asked.

"I don't think you have that ability." Fate replied.

"Ha?" When brother Jue heard that, he was also stunned. Then he asked,"then why are you looking for me?"

"The sad thing is ..." Fate continued,"on this issue, I can only ask you for help ... Even if the possibility of you rewriting the 'inevitable' of the 'future' is minimal, you are still the most promising one among the countless solutions with an infinitely close success rate of zero."

"Ha ... Ha ha ..." Feng bujue chuckled drily and narrowed his eyes."Then, I'm afraid that's going to be hard on you ..."

"You feel unhappy." "I can understand," fate said.

"Not fast?" Brother Jue repeated the two words and laughed."Haha ... No, I'm not. How could you tell that I'm unhappy?"

"I can directly sense your emotional fluctuations through the neural connection." The next second, fate continued without thinking,"in addition, based on my observation and analysis of you all this time, your next response is likely to be ... To change the attitude of the conversation with me, seize the right to lead the conversation, and use very impolite and logically aggressive words and actions to put pressure on me." She paused for half a second."For example ... There's an 83% chance that you'll put on a very annoying expression and say to me,'if you're asking for help, then you should have an attitude. In short, show me your chest first, then we'll talk'."

"Er ..." At that moment, Feng bujue forced his smile back.

He really wanted to quibble about fate's words, but he quickly realized that his excuses would most likely be useless and would be used for analysis.

Therefore, after a brief mental struggle, Feng bujue decided to keep his mouth shut and not do something that would bring shame to himself.

"Does it feel bad to be 'seen through' and 'told in advance' about what was seen through?" After a few seconds of silence, fate spoke again.

​ "Ah ... Normally, I'm more used to giving others this feeling." Feng bujue looked at the floor, and he looked like he had been wronged.

"Do you understand why I'm doing this?" Fate continued.

"What?" Feng bujue's expression changed when she asked that question, and an inspiration flashed through his mind."Are you ...'Demonstrating' something to me?"

"Yes," Fate continued,"demonstrate it first, then I can 'explain' it more easily."

"Then explain it to me." Brother Jue raised an eyebrow.

"Using the concept that you humans use ..." Fate said,"what I did just now is to use 'language' to change 'the future'."

"But that's only if you can accurately predict the 'future'." Feng bujue said.

"No, I can 't." Fate said,"no one ... Or any other living creature can do this. At least, no one I know of can do this."

"Where's the black hole Queen?" Feng bujue immediately thought of a possible example.

"Of course she can 't." Fate replied,"it's just that some of her actions made the creatures of your dimension have the illusion that 'she can control time and space'."

As fate spoke, she raised her hand. In that second, a sphere made of transparent liquid appeared out of thin air above her palm.

"For example ... This water ball is the universe where the black hole Queen is." Fate turned his head slightly and looked at the floating liquid."At this moment, every drop of water that makes up this water ball is actually moving without stop, but because the overall shape of the water ball remains the same, you can't detect the flow of water with the naked eye."

"This 'flow'... Or should I say, the 'change' that we, three-dimensional creatures, can't detect is like 'time'?" Feng bujue understood it quickly and added.

Fate nodded and continued,"the outline of this waterball represents 'space'... Of course,'space' is also changing ..." At this point, she made the volume of the waterball grow a little larger in proportion."But I don't have to make this example bigger than this room or so small that you can't see it. As long as you can understand it ..."

"Yes." Feng bujue nodded and signaled for the man to continue.

"And the black hole Queen is like ..." A second later, a strange color suddenly appeared in the water ball in fate's hand,"...Like a drop of oil in this water ball." As she explained, the drop of oil swam quickly in the water ball."She is in this water, but ... She is not soluble in this water."

"So ... She is both in space and time ..." Feng bujue mumbled to himself.

"That's right. " Fate said,"to her, any point in this water ball is a place she can reach at will. The same black hole Queen can exist at any point. " As she spoke, the drop of oil began to move quickly back and forth in the water ball. Gradually, the originally transparent ball became more and more turbid, and the "flow" trajectory of the water in the ball became more and more obvious."But ... She can't change or interfere with the established facts that happen at any space-time point, because it may disturb the order of the entire universe."

When he said this, the outline of the sphere became very unstable, and the water flow inside seemed particularly intense.

Five or six seconds later, the sound of water splashing could be heard.

The ball of water suddenly dispersed into a pool of ordinary water, falling vertically to the ground and wetting fate's palm.

"Then ..." Fate put down his hand and continued,"let's move on to ... The so-called 'future'."

"According to your theory ..." Feng bujue said as he thought,"the future, the past, and the present ... There is no difference, right?"

"There's no difference. " Fate replied,"but I can't convey or explain this theory in your human language or concept." She shook her head helplessly."Because you are three-dimensional creatures, your brain structure and perception limited your understanding of time to be based on a 'linear' basis. Therefore, you used 'memory' as a division unit and created the typical linear concepts of 'past, present, and future'. Even though you can conceive the 'tree-shaped' development hypothesis about the future and theories such as parallel universe, However, in the end, he was still unable to raise his perception and knowledge of space-time to the level of a four-dimensional creature ...

Using the water ball as an example ... It's as if you're restricted to a hair-thin stream of water. You have to follow its trajectory, and you'll never be able to notice or enter the water outside of this line. "

"In other words ... You're now 'lowering dimension' your thoughts and then talking to me about the 'future', a concept that you've already rejected." Feng bujue added.

"Yes," Fate replied,"it's a good thing that you have an excellent ability to understand. So far, our communication has been smooth." She paused for a second and added,"by the way ... When I said that you humans are 'three-dimensional creatures', it was actually a more general and less specific way of speaking. In my opinion ... Humans are very special. You can call them 3.2 or 3.3 dimensional lifeforms. However, I won't go into detail on that topic. After all, your professional knowledge in the area of brain structure is still too little. You don't have the ability to discuss the relevant issues with me in depth. "

"Okay, okay ..." Feng bujue had already suffered enough defeat that day. He did not even feel unhappy anymore."You should continue talking about how to change the future."

"I think you've already understood." No matter how brother Jue changed the topic, fate continued without any delay."The 'future' is actually something like 'flowing water'. Neither a 'straight line' nor a 'tree' can express its complexity and variations. Even I can not 'accurately' predict the future, but ... My prediction success rate is still quite high. And based on this success rate, there is the possibility of 'interfering' and 'changing' the future. "

"Oh ..." Feng bujue tilted his head and mumbled,"it means ... The tangible will bend the shape, and the intangible will guide the momentum."

"What you're saying now, as well as the way you say it in a general way, is one of the shining Points of You humans, and one of the most fascinating characteristics of your race." When fate said this without any expression, brother Jue did not feel like he was being praised at all.

After a two-second pause, fate continued,""I, even if I'm in a higher dimension than you, I can't predict that you'll organize such a language.

"Humans were unwilling to be limited by the cognitive limits of three-dimensional creatures. Therefore, in the midst of wrong, clumsy, and absurd explorations ... In the midst of constant mistakes ... They created many strange derivatives. For example, literature, music, art, and so on. They were known as the medium or form of expression of 'art'.

"Human beings also have 'emotions' that originate from their biological instincts but surpass their instincts and even the boundaries of logic.

"These things have made you 'aliens' among creatures of the same dimension. And the most important thing is ... You also have something that even the gods and demons are envious of. You have almost infinite 'choices'. You can't imagine what it means to the multiverse if an existence with enough 'power' has this ability ..."

When fate said that, it suddenly took a few steps forward until it was only a fist away from brother Jue. It looked into the latter's eyes and said,""What I'm interested in is your 'free will'. And you ... Feng bujue, as an individual, your ability to interfere with the 'future' is clearly stronger than most of your kind. "This is related to your background and the ability of the 'aberration of truth'..."

Pfft!

The next second, something unexpected happened. Just like when twenty-three ambushed Feng bujue, fate suddenly reached out ... And used his hand to pierce through brother Jue's chest.

"Again?" From a certain perspective, this was the second time brother Jue had fallen for the trap.

Of course, he was only complaining in his heart, because his mouth was already unable to say anything.

" 23 erased your character data and left a set of restriction programs in your body. With this set of program, when you enter any scenario, during the 'transfer' process, you will be automatically rejected by an anti-cheat system. " When fate said that, a bright white stream of data had already entered brother Jue's body from her fingertips and flowed through his entire body like glowing blood."I can help you clear that set of restricting programs, but I can not retrieve your character data because the players 'abilities are involved in the game between the gods and demons. Therefore, the backup of this part of data is managed by dream Inc. I suggest ... After you return to the real world, solve this matter through the complaint process, or directly look for Woody. "

At this point, Feng bujue's eyes were filled with white light, and his body started to shake violently.

"I'm currently writing a Protection Program into your body to prevent you from encountering a similar situation in the future. " "The process may be a little painful, please bear with it," fate said in a calm tone.

Actually, it did not matter whether she said the last part or not, because brother Jue could not do anything other than endure it ...

After a few more seconds, the white light slowly dimmed.

At this moment, fate's expression changed a little ...

"Remember, Feng bujue ..." There was an indescribable emotion in her voice."Me, twenty-three, and those you care about and don't care about ... All the living things in Thriller Paradise. From this moment on, our fates are all tied to you.

"This is my one and only gamble as a 'non-AI creature'... I gave up probability and calculation and bet everything on your 'infinite possibilities'.

"I hope I'm right, and I also hope ... That we can meet again in the 'future'."

…………

嗞嗞嗞——

It was early in the morning in the cold winter.

In Feng bujue's house, the lights in the room flickered eerily, and there was the sound of static.

In the living room, all the lighting components on the luxurious game cabin were emitting an abnormal light as if they were overloaded.

"Pa! Pa!"

When the light reached its limit, another sound was heard.

Immediately after that, the entire house turned dark. It seemed like the power had tripped.

The dead silence lasted for about a minute.

Then, a strong arm used the internal mechanical parts of the game cabin to open the cover.

"Phew ..." After the hatch opened, Feng bujue sat up and exhaled a white breath.

In the darkness, his eyes were still emitting a blazing white light ...
