Stray Chapter 12: Opening

The body of the white space does not have too many functions, because most of the functions can be directly realized by the system as a data terminal.

As a platform, it seems to exist more as a transit point?

Because it is said that this place can be connected with the personal area of ​​other lost people, as long as you get permission, you can also directly access the public area or something. The latter is probably a more free trading space. place.

As for the specific mechanism, Xia Ran doesn't know. He just heard the guide briefly say it, and it's not a mechanism that he can use now, because all operations require points.

And he's really broke at the moment, so just listen to these things and don't think too much.

He took a deep breath before indicating the arrival of the final stay time, then pushed open the door above the platform, and walked in directly.

"...extracting data..."

"...syncing rules..."

"...insert information..."

It's still the kind of loud voice that sounds like hallucinations, resounding in the whole consciousness, and then there is an unknown time belonging to another dimension.

……

……

"Familiar ceiling..."

Opening her eyes, Xia Ran found herself lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling above and vomited silently.

Although the ceiling is very familiar, and it can even be said that the surrounding environment and furnishings are exactly the same as his bedroom, he is very aware of what is going on, and the information instilled in his mind is constantly reminding him.

Sit up from the bed slowly, he himself can't tell what kind of mood he is in at the moment, it doesn't seem extreme, but to say that he can accept it calmly, then it is definitely unrealistic.

The same thing, knowing the inside story and not knowing the inside story, the mentality is completely different... He used to think that he was in a dream, and even if he died in the dream, he would not really pay any price.

Now, it's completely different.

Xia Ran, who was still somewhat uneasy, took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. He looked around from the bed. The environment of the room was exactly the same as that of his bedroom. It was clean, simple and neat, not too much. messy stuff.

There are no magic books under the bed, and there are no crumpled tissues in the trash can...

It looked exactly like Xia Ran's own room, even the details were exactly the same. He stood up and walked to the desk, and even found that the planning book he helped fill out was quietly spread on the table.

But if he leaves this house and goes outside, he will probably find that the streets and cities outside are completely different, and maybe even the world background has changed.

According to the description, the current situation is that whether it is him or this house, the "intelligence" outside the world has been inserted into the logical cause and effect of this world by the white space with an incomprehensible rule. , integration became his starting identity...

It is said that players who skip the novice tutorial will have a feeling of "I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, I just know that I am going to kill."

Xia Ran is naturally not such a reckless man, and he doesn't think that his current "useless person start" can have any capital to kill the Quartet.

He first moved his hands and feet in the bedroom, and experienced the special feeling after "digitalization", because it is said that the rules of white space will solidify the peak state of lost people, especially the peak expressiveness of basic attribute values——

This is a very important mechanism, because simply put, the attributes of normal people will fluctuate.

A person cannot guarantee that every time he punches with the same force, how many kilograms are accurate...

A person cannot guarantee that every 100-meter run is the same speed, the time is accurate to a few tenths of a second...

As I said before, the physique of a sick person is definitely not as good as normal. Of course, the strength of a person who has not had enough to eat and is hungry will not be comparable to the state after recuperation and rest. Don't expect to be full of energy if you don't have enough sleep and don't have good quality...

It can be said that from strength to agility, from intelligence to spirit, almost all of a person's ability attributes change dynamically at any time, although the magnitude is generally not large.

However, according to the information obtained by Xia Ran, the rules of white space can maximize the duration of the lost person's optimal ability value display state, of course not the kind that violates the law of conservation of energy——

To put it bluntly, under the condition that his state is relatively normal and his physical and mental exhaustion is not excessive, he will maintain his maximum ability value.

For example, an average person may consume one-fifth of his energy and physical strength, and he will begin to feel fatigued, and the state will continue to decline over time, whether it is physical explosion, strength, or Or mental focus, concentration.

However, the lost person can still maintain the best state of ability value before the consumption of energy and physical strength exceeds half, the fist can swing the strongest force, and the running can maintain the fastest speed...

However, it is difficult for Xia Ran to feel the benefits it brings to him. After all, if he doesn't do any high-intensity physical exercise, he just sits quietly in the classroom, then the energy consumption itself is very slow.

And once he really needs to do high-intensity physical exercise, his own foundation is like this, and he still can't run a few more kilometers... Although he does not consider using physical strength to solve the problem at present, he will only try to avoid it. Trouble with this.

Sit down at the table, Xia Ran skillfully turned on the computer, and wanted to see if he could surf the Internet, etc. It was a pity not to take advantage of this opening.

And his current ideas are different from before - he didn't know anything before, and he just thought it was a dream that was so real that it made one's heart tremble, but in the end, it was still a dream, no matter what happened in it, it would not last until Reality.

So even death will not threaten the real self, which is the biggest source of confidence.

But now it's different, Xia Ran has begun to understand, every dream is a real unknown plane, and his soul is really lost in the long river of time...

He doesn't understand the specific principles and reasons, nor why it is not through the entity. The soul will also show the nature of "entity" in another world, but he knows that every time he dies in this form , are in the loss of the most fundamental existence.

If you die many times in a row, you will be completely wiped out. Even now doesn't change this most basic fact, and in a sense... the situation has become more serious.

According to the guide, the rules of the white space can help Xia Ran become stronger quickly, and the growth obtained in the mission world can be directly brought back to reality, and 100% synchronization is reflected in the body... …

But everything is an equivalent exchange. If you want to gain, you must be aware of how much you lose. Not only will positive feedback be brought back, but also negative feedback will be the same. Although white space can try to reduce the negative effects, it cannot save all of them.

It is said that the most intuitive performance is to die once, and all the true attributes of the lost person are directly cut in half...

So if you die multiple times in a row, you're completely destroyed. One hundred of all attributes is cut into fifty of all attributes, and fifty of all attributes is cut into twenty-five of all attributes... No matter how strong people are, they can't hold back such a vicious circle.

It's like blowing up a balloon. Even in the system of white space, no matter how fast you grow stronger, it will definitely not be as fast as the rapid weakening caused by one death.

The only thing that seems to be fortunate is that the white space will not obliterate, nor will it force the lost person to complete any quest indicators. If you really want to, find a place to hide until the retention time passes, and then return to reality. ——

Anyway, people who don't want to die will try their best to seize the opportunity. Besides, whether the lost person lives longer or less, it shouldn't make any difference to the white space, it doesn't need to persecute the lost person.

Xia Ran didn't want to escape, but she just comforted herself that there was at least such a way back, so that she could feel more at ease.

While comforting himself like this, he quickly searched for information on the Internet to understand the background of the current world. He was gratified that the auxiliary function of the system was really powerful, not only arranged his identity in this world , also prepared the house.

And it's not a fake disguise, it's a preparation filled with corresponding content.

Being able to surf the Internet is just one of the proofs. As soon as he turned on the computer, he saw a strange file appeared on the clean desktop. After opening it, he was a little surprised to find that it was a more detailed document. basic information.

Much more detailed information than the vague and vague information that appeared inexplicably in his mind.

Include his personal information in this world, including home address, school arrangements, bank information...and so on.

Compared with the previous nightmare period, this kind of opening is really too comfortable. He sighed inexplicably and relaxed a little. At least this time he didn't have to think about basic survival issues.

The timeline is a modern parallel world, but slightly behind my own real world...

There are some subtle differences in the background, but overall it is not much different from the history I am familiar with...

There seems to be nothing remarkable, no world war, no alien attack on Earth...

Probably because he has done a lot of this work and has sufficient experience and skilled operation, Xia Ran confirmed the basic information very quickly, which made him slightly relieved. Maybe this time it will be a peaceful world again?

Then he noticed a piece of news——

"The number of major cases is rising rapidly everywhere!"

Then, inexplicably in his heart, he clicked directly into it, so he saw a bunch of curious and major cases. Although there were no photos, the text description alone made one's heart tremble. There are also a series of links below. .

"The number of homicides has surged!"

"Mother and daughter killed! Missing father is suspected murderer!"

"Another case of slaughtering and killing in Miyagi!"

This is a very strange feeling, as if it is a special revelation of the sixth sense and intuition for no reason. He feels that he has come into contact with the main context and direction of the world.

The next moment, the task reminder had already sounded in his consciousness——

"Hunting parasitic beasts, the specific reward depends on the degree of interference"
