Chapter 171 Taiyi Observer
On the fluorescent screen, a huge Buddha statue sat in the center. The resolution of the almost still picture was not too high, only 720P, and the bit rate was still low. Because Ning Zhe's mobile phone was a cheap one that he couldn't even remember the brand of, and he even forgot when he bought it.
Ning Zhe's materialistic attitude is not high, and his attitude towards daily necessities is that just enough is enough. He can wear a custom-made suit worth 20 million dollars and a T-shirt worth 5 yuan a piece.
"I have to buy some professional equipment after I go out." Ning Zhe stared at the flickering screen and thought to himself.
He has seen in the materials that the dead warriors trained by local state governments to deal with strange incidents that no upgraded person is willing to deal with sometimes use equipment such as drones and robot dogs. To explore unknown areas, Ning Zhe felt that he also needed to create one.
It wasn't available before, but not anymore.
For example, in Zanju Town now, if you have a drone equipped with professional-grade camera equipment, your previous layout will be much easier.
Why?
This involves a concept - observer.
1. It is known that the stone statues in Zanju Town exist in two states: 'life' and 'death'. When they are not observed, they are in 'life', and when they are observed, they are in 'death'. This is a shroud. One of the rules of Zanju Town.
2. It is known that the life and death determination of stone statues will not regard each other as ‘observers’ who are also stone statues.
Based on the above two points, the entire logical chain leads to an interesting question:
——Who, or what, will be judged as an observer?
Being looked at by someone’s eyes counts as being observed, and being shrouded in the sensory field of special envoys counts as being observed, but being seen by each other who are also stone statues does not count as being observed. Stone statues and people interact with each other. How are ghosts different?
A mobile phone with the recording function turned on is leaning against the wall. Will this electronic device, which is completely disconnected from the Internet and unmanned, and automatically runs a program, be considered an observer?
3. It is also known that Xia Yubing, who was a living person, received a text message from Jiang Han while "thinking Jiang Han was still alive", heard Jiang Han's voice, and observed the living Jiang Han.
4. But after being reminded by herself and realizing that Jiang Han might be dead, Xia Yubing could no longer observe the living Jiang Han. All she could see was a body pierced through the abdominal cavity by a stone sculpture's arm. The corpse was the same as what Ning Zhe and Xiao Ke saw.
Through the abnormal phenomena in Xia Yubing, Ning Zhe can easily come up with a conjecture:
——The world where Zanju Town is located is changing, fluctuating, and uncertain. , what people see here depends on what they know in their minds. Xia Yubing didn't realize Jiang Han was dead, so she observed Jiang Han alive.
In a sense, the strange events permeating this long-abandoned and uninhabited town are more like an amorphous quantum cloud of probability. Everything under the cloud is uncertain. The world will collapse toward what the observer thinks it will be.
So, for a dead mechanical object without self-awareness, what would the world it observes look like?
There are many more questions like this.
For example, in the previous building, Xia Yubing clearly did not know in advance that Xiao Ke was dead, and what he observed using the special command was also the shadow of a living person. Why did he not know that Xiao Ke was dead? After they went upstairs with Xia Yubing, what they saw was a cold corpse of Xiao Ke?
Who caused the probability cloud on Xiao Ke to collapse towards her death?
Why are the three corpses of Azhen, who has been dead for three years, still wandering in this small town? And it can also be observed by Jiang Han and others?
As more and more clues were learned, Ning Zhe made many guesses about the core rules of this strange incident. However, this did not reduce the unsolved mysteries lingering here. Instead, it caused the haze hanging over the town to rise. Thicker, heavier, suffocating.
If there is an answer to all of this, then the answer may lie in Ning Zhe's hands.
The video on the mobile phone screen was played at double speed. Soon, a figure running in embarrassment broke into the center of the screen from the bottom of the screen. It was Shen Qing who fled to the center of the town in a hurry. He collapsed in exhaustion. Sitting on the bridge, the mobile phone in my hand fell to the ground and almost fell into the bottom of the dry pond.
Shen Qing did not know the fact that Jiang Han was dead, which meant that in his knowledge, Jiang Han was still alive. Will he observe Jiang Han alive?
Ning Zhe canceled the double speed and returned the screen to normal. He watched Shen Qing sitting on the ground without blinking as he turned sideways and reached out to pick up his phone.
Then Shen Qing started dancing.
The clarity of the mobile phone lens at this distance cannot be complimented. Ning Zhe could not see the hand stretched out from the bottom of the pool. In the silent picture, he could only see the insane Shen Qing, who looked like he was crazy. It seemed that he had been extremely frightened and had a nervous breakdown, so he fell directly into the dry pool.
What scared him into being like this?
It’s Jiang Han.
I saw an arm stretching out from the bottom of the pool, clinging to the ground, and pulling the entire body up with it.
That was a young man wearing a black jacket. He was tall and thin, and his clothes were fleshy. According to the information Ning Zhe asked from Xia Yubing and Xiao Ke, Jiang Han was wearing such clothes today. .
There is no doubt that the person who climbed out of the pool was Jiang Han, the living Jiang Han.
Ning Zhe's heartstrings tightened quietly, and he watched the young man in a black jacket struggling to get up from the bottom of the deep pool with unblinking eyes. He bent down to pick up Shen Qing and dropped it on the ground. mobile phone.
When his hand touched the cracked mobile phone screen, a drop of bright red blood flowed down his arm to Jiang Han's fingertips.
When he straightened up again, the clothes on Jiang Han's body had disappeared. His naked body was covered with dried blood, and his pink and white intestines hung from his waist. A large hole in his abdomen was filled with blood and flesh, and flowed out as he walked. Thick discharge.
One step deep, one step shallow, Jiang Han left the center of the empty town and disappeared at the end of the screen.
Ning Zhe's breathing quickened slightly. He caught it, he caught it, that fleeting light.
“Jiang Han was neatly dressed when he climbed out of the bottom of the pool. That was what Shen Qing observed about him—a healthy, alive, and free-moving Jiang Han.
But after climbing out of the pool and being exposed to the broad daylight, Jiang Han's clothes disappeared at an extremely fast speed. The wounds I saw before appeared on his body, and he turned into a corpse again while alive. "< br>
Ning Zhe held his finger on the screen and swiped to the left, replaying and replaying just a few seconds of the scene. The messy thoughts in his mind were tumbling rapidly, gradually weaving into a complete and smooth line:
"Why Jiang Han?" Will it turn from a living state back to a corpse? Because Shen Qing fell into the pool and died?"
< br>"Is it because another observer saw him after he climbed into the pool?"
The video regressed again, and Jiang Han once again stood up straight with his naked and broken body, looking solemn. The evening wind blew up the dust beneath my feet, and the giant Buddha above my head quietly watched everything that happened under the moonlight, neither happy nor sad.
“I found you.” Ning Zhe said softly: “Taiyi Observer.”
