Chapter 122: What does it mean to not live for a few days [Additional update of 1,000 words! 】
Lin Yi couldn't help but relate the situation at that time and then recalled it.
[What you are going to do next is very dangerous...]
[Isn’t it a good thing to have a cannon fodder who trusts you...]
[What is there? Bad...】
[She doesn’t have long to live, so it’s better to talk honestly about some things...]
[Didn’t you realize...that guy in the blue bib has been staring at her from the beginning? Is it like looking at a dead person? 】
"Cannon fodder? Dead person?"
Lin Yi's eyes suddenly flashed with inspiration: "Did you make the inference based on the blue bib chef's gaze on her?"
He thought that the chef in the blue bib "Ru Zai" was not stared at by everyone. In his impression, he only stared at them. Other than that, he was staring at Li Huiyuan. .
"No...then according to you, don't we not live long?" Lin Yi said in surprise.
Tian Bufan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Congratulations on discovering the blind spot."
Lin Yi looked stern and couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on his arms: " Mr. Tian, this joke is not funny at all!”
“Do you think I am joking with you?” Tian Bufan asked, but he did not continue, but glanced at Wei Lianghe. Li Huiyuan.
Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, then he consciously took out a napkin, rolled it up and stuffed it in his ears, then covered it with both hands...
A smooth and silent operation, so skillful that Lin Yi wanted to go over and give him a slap.
"He still 'refuses' to listen, so..." Tian Bufan glanced at Li Huiyuan, "Just listen to our next conversation. If you have any doubts, don't think about it. Wait until it's over. Then ask Lao Lin directly, and regard what Lao Lin tells you as a fact that must be accepted, or the truth. Do you understand?"
Li Huiyuan was still addicted to the nightmare of losing her student ID card. After hearing this, He just nodded in confusion.
But Tian Bufan patted her shoulder heavily, with a cold and serious expression. Coupled with his 1.9 meter body, there was an oppressive feeling like a giant bear looking down at Little Red Riding Hood: " I’m not ‘explaining’ things to you, I’m ‘ordering’ you to do something, do you understand?”
Li Huiyuan was shocked by Tian Bufan’s aura, and her whole body trembled. , the brain that was faintly down started to work quickly: "I, I know!"
Tian Bufan nodded slightly, and then said to Lin Yi: "Mao Zi was contaminated as soon as he entered the school, which caused us to be contaminated as well. This is an invisible crisis in itself. In ancient Greek legends, there is a sword named 'The Sword of Damocles' means 'the hanging sword', and now, all of us have this sword hanging above our heads."
"Once the pollution intensifies to the point that it cuts off the hilt. We will all be buried here. Do you think we will not live long?"
Lin Yi pondered: "You mean, her situation is the same as ours?"
Tian Bufan said: "It's probably about the same. When you are free, you can ask her what she went through when she entered the school."
Lin Yi nodded slightly.
"The blue bib chef must have some mechanism, but it must react to 'pollution'. It can be seen that she must also be contaminated, but I don't know the degree of her pollution. I don't know yet. I know the exact way to judge the depth of pollution, but you can ask the physical education student to help take a look at her situation."
Lin Yidao: "Okay"
The physical education student can tell the difference. Art students and experience students can even distinguish between normal art students, weird art students, and inhuman classmates. This shows that they may also have the ability to "perceive", but they just don't know the perception of sports students and art students. Are the abilities the same?
“But Lao Lin.” Tian Bufan said calmly, “You accidentally made a wrong question.”
“Where did you make a mistake?”
"When I said she had a problem, I wasn't talking about how to save her, but... what to do to maximize the effect."
When Tian Bufan said this, there was no Without even the slightest regard for the feelings of Li Huiyuan who was listening on the side, it was like directly tearing open her wound, revealing the bloody reality.
When Li Huiyuan on the side heard this, her face turned pale, but she lowered her head slightly, bit her lips, and tried to restrain her somewhat collapsed emotions.
Tian Bufan spread his hands and expounded the cold facts indifferently, as if making a report: "We don't even know how to save our own people, how can we dare to save others without shame?"
“What we can do is to each get what he needs.”
"She is contaminated, and she doesn't know what is right... So it's just right, let her be a pawn for us to test the boundaries of the campus rules."
"A planet wants to Exploring the universe is extremely dangerous, but if you can have a satellite orbiting you, gradually expand the boundaries, and make progress step by step, then it will be much better in all aspects."
"We are like a planet now. And she is our satellite."
"If we can finally find a way to save ourselves, then she can be saved."
"Frankly speaking, this is for us. Okay, it reduces the risk of our actions, and for her... the risk is probably slightly higher than doing it alone.”
Tian Bufan did not deliberately conceal the risk factor to ensure that Li Huiyuan on the side could obtain the same "objective" amount of information as Lin Yi.
"Of course, compared to 'satellite', there is a more naked term for her - cannon fodder."
"With bad luck, she may die miserably. , and we have nothing to do."
When he heard the word "cannon fodder," Lin Yi frowned subconsciously, feeling that it was a bit inhumane to use others as pawns to test the school's rules, but he felt that it was a bit inhumane. I can't say anything to refute.
Tian Bufan’s analysis is very objective and rational.
They have mastered more elements of cognition and rules, but Li Huiyuan has been cornered... In this desperate situation, if she agrees to be cannon fodder, then they will act together and win if they can. If she doesn't agree, then break up and go our separate ways, and it's up to her to win or lose.
Lin Yi also knew why Tian Bufan asked Li Huiyuan to listen to their conversation, because this was indeed an open and honest negotiation, and they could even ignore Li Huiyuan and let her fend for herself.
Because they have just begun to explore the campus.
Because they don’t have to have a cannon fodder.
Besides...who said they themselves are not cannon fodder?
Once they start exploring the campus, they are just bigger cannon fodder in the end.
So, everything depends on Li Huiyuan’s own decision.
“You don’t need to make a decision now.” Tian Bufan glanced at Li Huiyuan flatly, “You and Lao Lin are in the same classroom, so you still have time to make a decision. Of course, you’d better do it as soon as possible. Make a choice..."
"Starting with small monsters when you first download the dungeon, slowly fighting elite monsters, and joining in midway to fight elite monsters together are two completely different difficulties."
"You may still have a little time, but all in all, it doesn't leave you much time."
Li Huiyuan was silent, her heart was extremely entangled, as if she was trapped in a deep whirlpool of thinking.
"Long wait, I'm back." At this time, Wei Shan's voice came from not far away. He had lost his shoes and was walking back along the mountain road.
"Then go back to the teaching building." After Wei Shan completely joined them, Lin Yi nodded, and then glanced at Li Huiyuan.
"I..." Li Huiyuan took a deep breath, as if she had made an extremely difficult decision, and then said with some anxiety, "I want to tell the class teacher about losing my student ID first, and then... …and then make a decision, okay?”
With a hint of hope in her eyes, she looked at Lin Yi and Tian Bufan, fearing that they would be abandoned because of this and would not even be qualified to be cannon fodder.
Tian Bufan smiled slightly: "We just said that you still have time, of course you can do this." Li Huiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Then...that's it, thank you."

……
X023, May 8, 11:45, on the cobblestone road heading to the teaching building.
Lin Yi told Tian Bufan what he saw at the entrance of the student restaurant about the experience student crossing the blue bib chef.
Tian Bufan nodded slightly: "Actually, I also saw it when I came here...a somewhat interesting phenomenon. Do you have any guesses about this?"
Lin Yi had indeed thought of something, so he He expressed his thoughts: "I think it's a bit like the feeling of 'nothing outside the heart' that Wang Yangming said..."
"Obviously from our perspective, the chef with the blue bib is standing there. There, but because those experiencing it did not cognitively see its existence, they allowed the fact that 'it does not exist' to 'take effect' on themselves."
"It looks like... The kind of glass stack in the scenic spot."
"Oh?" Tian Bufan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "You actually thought of the glass plank road?"
Lin Yi didn't expect Tian Bufan to be interested in this statement: "I feel that the role of 'cognition' is like the glass on the glass plank. For us, the glass is transparent and we can see the world under the glass. , or in other words, the 'layer' under the glass."
"But for the experience students, the glass is opaque and no different from the floor tiles, so they cannot see the other 'image' under the glass. layer', and will not be affected by the blue bib chef located in that 'layer'."
Part of his inspiration came from the plastic wind curtain at the entrance of the student restaurant.
“And I guess the solidity and transparency of the ‘glass’ should be related to our cognition.”
“Similarly walking on it, we can capture more information, and when our cognition begins to transform or distort, the properties of this glass will change, allowing us to see the blue bib chef, or the one who may fall under the glass. Layer ”
"The blue bib chef is like a person stuck to the back of the glass. It can see us and maybe communicate with us, but I don't know if it contains some special mechanism, and I don't know. What would happen if we had an encounter with the chef with the blue bib? "
"But the best thing we can do now is to ignore it and avoid any contact with it. "
Tian Bufan smiled and said: "You made rapid progress when you woke up?"
Lin Yi touched his nose awkwardly: "If you have some confidence, of course you won't. I am timid and think more boldly.”
“Master Tian, what are your thoughts?”
"How can you be so sure that what I thought of is not what you just said?" Tian Bufan asked.
Lin Yi coughed dryly: "I always feel that no matter how much I think about, you can think of more than me. It's possible that you have discovered more details when I just said it... "
Tian Bufan was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth and made an even weirder conjecture: "The idea of glass plank road is very interesting. It allowed me to integrate it with my previous inspiration and broaden my ideas a little bit. ..."
Lin Yi quickly pricked up his ears.
“It’s still a matter of thinking from a cognitive perspective.” Tian Bufan reminded him first, and then slowly spoke, “Imagine a dark and shiny tile, and we are a group of people wearing ski glasses. , a person walking on this tile with his neck stiffened and his head bowed.”
"This tile is both smooth and translucent, bright enough to reflect our shadows clearly."
"The field of view of ski glasses is limited, and our field of vision is only the limited field in front of us. "
"So in fact, we have always been watching the limited shadows moving in the ceramic tiles... The world we think is only recognized by our hearts based on this extremely limited vision, but in fact it is not. It's not like this..."
"We are in the real world, but what we see is a false reflection, and the chef with the blue bib is actually in the real world, just its shadow. What if it cannot appear in our limited vision? "
"One day... we learned to shake our heads to expand our horizons, and then saw more of the world, thus recognizing the 'real world'. Added more details..."
"Then as the field of view widened, we saw the blue bib chef, and the blue bib chef also spotted us because of the way we were shaking..."
"It's possible that the blue bib chef Chef Dou has always been by our side, but... we haven't met the conditions to trigger more of its mechanisms."
Lin Yi's mind suddenly buzzed: "The kind of "The Matrix"? Real and fake world? Once we find out that the world is fake, we will be attacked by the so-called maintainers of order? "
When Tian Bufan said this, Lin Yi thought of many things in an instant.
“That’s not what I meant.” Tian Bufan smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, “It’s just a conjecture in the form of an analogy. If S City University is false, then we What about the previous world? We are not the 'aboriginals' here! ”
Lin Yi was awakened: "Yes, yes, we came here on the blue school bus..."
"So just listen first, don't think too much, just like I just said, That's just a 'somewhat interesting' conjecture I extended." Tian Bufan said, "The more conjectures we have about this world, the more divergent our knowledge will be. When the time comes, we won't be surprised if we encounter outrageous discoveries. I was so frightened that I had strange visions..."
"It is equivalent to strengthening our resistance when our cognition is distorted."
Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. , nodded: "What you said makes sense, I took note of it."
......
X023 May 8, 11:49.
The crowd returned to the front of the teaching building along the cobblestone road. After Tian Bufan said goodbye to them, he took the branch road to Building C of Teaching Building, while the remaining people continued to walk towards Building B of Teaching Building. go.
Li Huiyuan kept listening to the conversation between Lin Yi and Tian Bufan. One moment it was about "Glass Plank Road", another moment it was "Imagine the reflection of the tiles", and then it was "real world", "open space" Words like "horizon" sound so confusing that the whole person feels that they are in a fog and are missing.
It's like a person who has never played a game suddenly heard two gamers analyzing the application of "131 point zone" and "41 point push" between lineups, and then She seemed to feel something like a "generation gap"...
She lowered her head and followed Lin Yi and the others by instinct, while her mind couldn't help but think about the students. She was thinking about what she would say to the class teacher later about the testimony, and also thinking about what the class teacher would do to her later...
Although she was ready to be used as "cannon fodder" by Lin Yi, she was still extremely anxious and panicked in her heart, because cannon fodder was not a good word after all.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her body was terribly cold. Although she was walking under the sun, she felt like she was in an ice cellar.
It’s so cold...
Li Huiyuan stroked her arms in a meaningful way, and suddenly found that a layer of fine frost had somehow covered her arms. It has an icy texture on the hands.
Why do you still feel cold under such a big sun?
She had some weird feelings in her heart, and only then did she realize that the light around her seemed a little dark...
Is it dark?
She looked up at the sky.
I don’t know when the clear sky was filled with thick clouds. My vision was obscured by the clouds, leaving only dim light and shadow floating between the sky and the earth. The dust in the sky was like yellow sand, making the whole world fade away. The colors have fallen...
Deep in the thick clouds, the sun seems to have only an outline left...
A dark wind suddenly blew by her ears, causing her to shiver subconsciously.
"Huh——"
There seemed to be some swaying sounds of forest leaves in the wind, like waves.
Wave...?
She was stunned for a moment, and with a flash of inspiration, the sound of the collision of forest leaves became louder and louder, as if adjusting the sound with a knob, and finally became as violent as the waves...
< br>
She felt that the cobblestone road under her feet seemed to have changed. It looked dark and smooth, like a reef or some kind of seaside gravel...
