Everything that happened last night seemed like a dream, but the surging power in his body told Xu Ming that it was not a dream. He hurriedly got out of bed, pushed open the door, and left.
Luo Kai looked at his back and sighed. In this virtual world, these so-called awakened ones were just puppets of an intelligent programmed life form. In other words, they only had the qualifications to connect to the main program.
From the beginning to the end, humans were controlled by a terrifying programmed life form. The world they lived in was fake, including their own bodies. The only real thing was their own consciousness. Even if they awakened supernatural abilities, it was just a new authority given to them by the main program. In the real world, they were still asleep.
…
The days returned to normal. Since he already understood the truth of this world, Luo Kai had to rethink his way of thinking. He was no longer addicted to analyzing the network. Instead, he observed the people and things around him, subtly feeling their emotions, desires, and the energy derived from their thoughts.
Human consciousness was also a type of energy. It was a specific reflection of spiritual power. Theologians believed that the world was a projection of spiritual power. In other words, all material energy was a manifestation of spiritual power. Everything in the world was born from nothing, and nothing represented spiritual consciousness. It could be called the Heavenly Axiom.
Under the idealistic system, 'consciousness' was the God particle that gave birth to all things. In quantum mechanics, there was a famous observer effect. Matter was originally chaotic and ignorant. It was the emergence of consciousness that changed the manifestation of matter. The world we saw might be determined by the existence that first saw it.
A few days later, Xu Ming returned again. He was much more dispirited. His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were cloudy. He looked at Luo Kai with uncertainty.
Luo Kai could feel his anxiety, confusion, melancholy, and gradually sprouting hostility. He said, "Your willpower is very strong. That's why you survived. However, after the evil spirit enters your body, it will seriously affect your rationality. If you kill someone in the future, it will also affect your mind. Learn to control yourself in the future. Don't act rashly."
Xu Ming's eyes lit up. He hurriedly said, "You really saved me. Was there anyone else who survived?"
"No."
Luo Kai was silent for a moment. Then, he shook his head. In fact, strictly speaking, the nightmare beast's situation was the same as his. Her consciousness, memories, and emotions had been swallowed up by another existence. Then, would the original her still exist?
No matter how much he didn't want to think about it, there was a high chance that it didn't exist. In other words, the original owner of this body was dead. The woman named Ji Zi was also dead. Even Lu Qing, who was possessed by Princess Xingyun, was most likely dead.
Xu Ming had already expected this. He silently took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. He took a deep breath and said to Luo Kai, "Then who are you?"
"Me? You can also call me the Observer."
"Observer?"
Luo Kai didn't explain too much. Instead, he said, "Alright, can you tell me about your situation?"
Xu Ming hesitated for a moment, then sighed lightly and said, "Actually, Little Zi and I came from a very ancient organization. This organization can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, human civilization had just been born, and there were all kinds of disputes and wars between humans. Gradually, some evil creatures were born, and our organization was born...
"Soaring Wind Association?"
Xu Ming nodded and said, "That's right. We are from the Soaring Wind Association, one of the most powerful forces among the awakened ones. For nearly a thousand years, we have been hunting those evil creatures all over the world. Ten years ago, the Soaring Wind Association encountered a powerful creature in the West. It was similar to a vampire, but much more powerful than an ordinary vampire. It could raise countless children and developed into a vampire city. We called it the Blood Demon."
"Blood Demon?
Why do you call it a demon? "
Luo Kai's expression changed. Immortals, Buddhas, Gods, and Demons were the four ultimate life forms in the universe. Any creature with such a word was definitely not simple.
"The Blood Demon is extremely terrifying. We still haven't figured out how it was born. There is a saying that it is not a creature of this world, but came from beyond the heavens. There is another saying that it was born in the human heart, and is a kind of" inner demon ".
The strength of "demons" is far stronger than other unusual creatures. Of course, their number is also very small. The main goal of our Soaring Wind Association is to deal with them. At that time, we gathered hundreds of awakened ones to attack the vampire city. Just as we were about to eradicate the Blood Demon, unfortunately, we encountered an Evil Spirit, and it accidentally escaped. Little Zi also accidentally interfered with the blood worms, and her body and mind changed. Since then, she no longer listened to the orders of the organization. She simply lurked among the vampires, and has always maintained contact with me. "
Luo Kai nodded and continued to ask, "What is this Evil Spirit?"
Xu Ming said hatefully, "The Evil Spirit is a group of humans who are greedy for power. They have a strange spiritual power that can control material energy. These people are willing to do anything for power, and even specifically worship the Blood Demon in order to prolong their lives."
"Spiritual power?"
Luo Kai was a little surprised. This world was completely fictitious, and the natural world could not produce physical energy. Therefore, he could not use energy to fight against his enemies. However, although the world did not have energy, humans did. It was just that the energy produced by a single individual was negligible. The small blood ball that he obtained was probably made by tens of thousands of people.
Xu Ming stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion, and the metal whistle on his claw immediately flew into his hand. He explained in detail, "Spiritual power is innate. People who have spiritual power can use many inconceivable abilities, such as controlling metal and fire. It is said that in the past, everyone had these abilities, but now, very few people have them. However, according to my estimation, it is very likely that in the future, most people will regain their spiritual power."
"Why?"
Xu Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know the details. Legend says that every thousand years, there will be a great calamity. If it is light, all living things will be plunged into misery and suffering, and if it is heavy, all living things will be wiped out. Now, it is almost time. It is said that many people will change. If there is really a god in this world, perhaps the god will give all living things a new test."
After he finished speaking, he looked straight at Luo Kai and said, "It is my turn to ask you. Who are you, and what is an observer?"
Luo Kai smiled and lowered his head to ponder. There were some things that he felt that he should tell the people of this world. He should give them a chance to shatter their illusions. Although reality was far more cruel than illusions, and he had never tried to shake the probability from the microscopic level to change the fate of others, he could give it a try now.
After a long time, his eyes lit up, and he said, "The Observer, as the name suggests, is an observer. In the magical microscopic world, matter and even things exist in many forms at the same time. If you are conflicted about whether to eat an apple or not, then there will be a 'you' who eats the apple and a 'you' who chooses not to eat the apple. The result of whether you eat the apple or not is not decided by you. It is decided by a third person, the Observer, which is me!
When I decide to look at you, the two states of whether you eat the apple or not will collapse into one reality. When I don't look at you, your actions will give birth to more and more possibilities. All the possibilities will split into countless realities, from binary to ternary, until the moment you are seen by the observer, these possibilities will be entangled together to form one reality! "
