Doomsday Jigsaw Game

Bai Wu read the file.

Because a complete file was synthesized, the content of this file is much more detailed than the various incomplete versions seen before.

The content of the archives is quite large, but there is no academic discussion. It's just a memoir.

Memoirs of the leader of a group of scientists at Denglin Technology.

Even though it doesn't involve too much professional knowledge, this file is still precious, so precious that Bai Wu thinks...it shouldn't be sold for only five gold coins.

It's like Dandelaire's diary, Hong Yin's file, or Lou Xiaoping's notes.

Every time she touches these things, Bai Wu knows that she will see a desperate and distorted past of human beings in the last days.

But this time it's different, this time it's just pure text, Bai Wu won't have the feeling of being on the scene.

It's just that the various clues seen before have already allowed Bai Wu to know part of the content before reading this file.

...

...

In May of 2115, Xuan returned to the city.

Today, for me, is the day when the magic box is opened.

My competitor Xie Yingjie played a boring joke on me.

He said that there are superhuman beings in this world, haha.

As absurd as it was to me, he invited me in a provocative way, mocking my paranoia about science.

He said some very unreasonable things:

"If a person stares at a spoon and the spoon suddenly bends, how should we calculate the force analysis? You also know that there are four basic interactions in this world - gravitation, electromagnetic force, strong interaction, and weak interaction. Then go back to The question is, if the spoon is bent, what kind of force is it?"

"Old Tao, let me tell you how fragile this world is. It is so fragile that as long as one power disappears, the whole world will collapse, or as long as there is one more unknown power, the world will fall into the doomsday."

I thought it was just trying to find fault with me, but that afternoon, I received a call from Denglin headquarters, asking me to rush there.

When I boarded the company's plane, Xie Yingjie was there. He laughed at me as usual, but it sounded like he was laughing at himself:

"Old Tao, we may... fall into a great confusion, because what we have to face next may be a physical system that we have never seen before. Oh, I forgot, you are proficient in biology , we are not a field."

Yes, Xie Yingjie and I are not in the same field, it's just that we don't have many friends with each other, because our behavior style is always said to be like a machine, without a human touch.

It was our only pastime to tease each other. We mocked each other for a few years and became friends.

...

2115, May, Denglin City.

I don't know how to explain what happened that day. It is true that I studied biology. I know that the operation of cells, life, old age, sickness and death are all based on existing physical rules.

But it all... collapsed.

It's not just the spoon that bends, but also my perception of the world.

Today I met a boy and a girl. Their names are all weird, they seem to be brother and sister?

One is called Jing Si and the other is called Jing Liu.

This obviously tells me that there are at least four other siblings, which of course doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Jing Liu is clearly only a ten-year-old girl, but she told me in an empty tone——

"Your mother is watching the news of Xuanhui Guardian at this moment. What the news is talking about at this time is about the strange temperature changes in some areas. There are strange weather changes on Heijin Island, and the highest temperature has broken through 74. At present, rescue operations have been launched on the island."

Of course I didn't believe it, but everyone asked me to call my mother to ask. At the same time, Jing Liu told me that I would hear my mother's screams first.

Sure enough, the moment the phone was connected, I heard my mother scream because a crow hit the glass of my house outside the window.

At this moment, I understood that what they said was true, that Jing Liu could see the future. My mother was indeed watching the news.

But why? Is it some kind of space-time rule disorder, is it some kind of light wave that produces hysteresis?

But today, what shocked me was not only this, but Jing Si, who was two years older than Jing Liu, showed another kind of subversive power.

They invited me to see a white rat that was larger than a medium-sized dog, and I thought it was some kind of exotic animal.

It banged wildly against the tempered glass as we got closer. Until Jing Si approached, it showed fear.

Immediately, Jing Si staged a magic trick in the laboratory, which I can only call magic...

Because a small white mouse used for the experiment mutated strangely at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This made me doubt my biological knowledge. But they seem to want to see me go crazy on the spot before giving up——

That rat's mutation isn't over, damn, how do I describe the change? Mechanization?

Yes, mechanization.

I was devastated, as if I had been betrayed by the gods I believed in.

...

2115, May, Denglin City.

For the next few days, I was in a state of confusion. I suspect everything is a huge scam.

It's a joke on me. After all, I am unkind and annoying, always talking about efficiency and science.

But everyone present at that time was not someone who could make such a joke. Even Xie Yingjie, a bastard, was a very serious person about academics.

I can now imagine that when he said those words to me, he might have experienced a deeper shock and confusion.

So the last consolation was Xie Yingjie... and Jing Si and Jing Liu.

I will always remember what Lao Xie said to his two children that day.

"Study us."

"I see that the one who really brings hope to this world is not you, but you are indeed the inheritor. I can't see too far into the future, but in the future, there will be someone who will save the world because of your plan. "

"save the world?"

These four words came so abruptly that I seemed to be in a clichéd movie scene suddenly.

But Xie Yingjie said:

"Actually, at the beginning, our ancestors didn't understand mathematics, physics, or anything else, as if we didn't understand their power. But we can learn slowly, can't we? As long as we continue to study, we must The mystery of this power can be found."

No one can imagine the encouragement this sentence gave me. Yes, such a complex scientific system has been researched by giants one by one. Now standing on the shoulders of giants, why can’t we continue this legend?

Maybe some kind of huge disaster is approaching, and I am more willing to solve this new problem than to enjoy the rest of my life!

"Let's study us, we will cooperate with all the experiments, as long as we can find our secrets before the bigger disaster comes, before the tower appears."

What is a tower?

Jing Si and Jing Liu refused to tell me because it was meaningless.

I later learned that the tower is the last choice of human beings, the biggest killer that makes human beings give up resistance.

...

In November 2117, Denglin City.

The experiment has not progressed. So far, the abilities displayed by Jing Si and Jing Liu are still full of mysteries.

I even invited Jing Liu alone, and asked her to observe the future, and whether we have solved the mystery of them in the future.

Jing Liu nodded and said:

"Untied."

"So how did it work out?"

I was thinking, if the future me can solve their puzzles, and Jing Liu can know the future, why not get the answer directly from the future me?

Just like what she predicted before.

It's just that everything, as I feared, was prevaricated by the words "butterfly effect".

This is a matter that makes me feel very contradictory. If Jing Liu’s purpose is——hoping that we study her and Jing Si and find their secrets, and we in the future have indeed solved these mysteries, then as she can know Doesn't it mean that people in the future already know the answer?

Then why come to ask us?

Or...she lied to us?

...

2118.

no result. The funding given above is a lot, even more than last year, and it can be expected that it will be even higher next year.

They obviously hope to grasp the power of Jing Liu and Jing Si, if this power is used in war, it will be no disadvantage.

For this reason, I also talked with Jing Si and Jing Liu. Jing Si was very pessimistic about this. He said that there will be no war, because there will be something more terrible than war that will erase all possibilities.

Jing Liu believes that there will be human power to turn the tide, because this is the future she sees.

2119.

There are more and more funds.

It seems that it has something to do with monsters appearing in some areas, and Jing Si's temper has also changed a little. This child sometimes looks at us with a look that scares us.

That gaze was like... looking at food.

No, maybe even more indifferent than that, and also with a certain kind of confusion.

So far, Jing Si and Jing Liu have refused to disclose information about the other four people. We are not even sure whether Jing Yi, Jing Er, Jing San, and Jing Wu exist.

They are so tight-lipped about these four guys who may not exist, and every time the topic comes up, the siblings stop talking.

If they exist, what capabilities do they have?

...

2120 years.

The funding is still increasing, and the theory of mutation and evil caused many people to laugh at it.

But now, many of those who have ridiculed it have begun to study it.

Because the word "evil and depraved" has already appeared in the public's hearing and hearing. Just like my cognition was subverted at the beginning, the existence of evil has also begun to subvert the cognition of everyone in this world.

We must speed up the research process, we must find a way to deal with the evil. Because Jing Liu told us that time is running out.

2121.

We have made our first progress.

With the help of Xie Yingjie, we created a method to make the Evil Fall produce low-light properties, although looking at it now, it came a bit late, because these monsters have appeared on the outskirts of various cities.

And we have no way to make humans who have turned into monsters develop this kind of weakness. We can only do this before it turns into a monster....

This is also Xie Yingjie's theory. In his opinion, if organisms can be mechanized, then in the face of the evil of mechanization, we can't use biological means at all, unless...we were human before they became machines , will plant the weakness.

This seems like an impossible thing to achieve, but after we experimented, we found that it is really possible...

If a person is injected with the reagent we developed in advance, even if the person undergoes mechanical changes, he will still be afraid of light.

This is of course beyond our comprehension, but we don't need to understand it now. Xie Yingjie and I seem to be businessmen now, and we only need to see tangible benefits.

2122.

More and more cities were devastated, though the depravity was suppressed due to its rarity.

We found one thing, the inside of the city is very different from the outside of the city. Although there will be people mutating in the city, the scale of the number is not worth mentioning compared to the outside.

It's as if... There are certain regional restrictions. The city is the inner circle, which is a mildly mutated area, while the outside of the city is the outer circle, which is a highly mutated area.

This is still something we can't understand, and Jing Si and Jing Liu don't know either.

And Jing Si became more and more irritable.

Jing Liu's consolation is still effective. In the future she foresees, there will be a savior, and this savior carries an antibody!

An antibody that can completely block corruption!

But in my opinion, Jing Liu may indeed be able to see the future, but she definitely cannot see the future that is too far away. Otherwise, why didn't she tell us the answer?

She was just cheating Jing Si.

But it doesn't matter, it's good for us that Jing Si can settle down, after all, every time he gets angry, the building will mutate.

Sometimes it's something else, sometimes it's people.

2123.

The world has become strange, scientific research funding has suddenly decreased a lot, knights wearing masks have begun to deal with evil in the city, and many strange churches have appeared.

Xie Yingjie told me that the tower appeared. In fact, he told me last year. He even went inside.

He told me that the tower is very strange, like a place that can isolate all abnormal rules.

Our sacred system of physics remains sacred in the tower.

I scoff at that.

"Accept the reality, Xie Yingjie! In the past, we were just frogs living in the well, and we saw the world outside the well by accident, and the tower is just another well! Do you want to go back to the well again?"

Xie Yingjie was convinced by me, but most people became impetuous. In fact, since last year, they have been very anxious. They want air tickets and boat tickets.

But Jing Liu dashed their hopes at the time.

"My kind lives in the plane, and that plane doesn't end up, it just goes in loop."

"Cruise ship? That's a scam. Time is running out, what you have to do is to keep studying us and find our secrets."

But as many people entered the tower, and many happy reports came from the tower...

There are fewer and fewer people who are willing to study the evil together.

...

2124.

Another group of people left, some went to find the shelter, and some went to the tower.

I didn't leave, and Xie Yingjie didn't leave.

Jing Si became more and more irritable, and six young people in the company had already been infected into monsters, and were finally killed by Jing Liu.

Of course, their carcasses became the fodder for our study of evil.

Xie Yingjie and I... are not good at dealing with people, and we can't understand the complex emotions between human beings, but we feel Jing Si's troubles.

He was troubled by pressure, just like me and Xie Yingjie. We have to find a way to make the evil no longer bother us.

As for the strange rules of this world, it can only be studied after the evil has been expelled.

We created a new laboratory for Jing Si, and Jing Si also has three weaknesses.

After all these years, we have finally found a way to weaken the Evil Fallen. This is the result of our hard work together.

We believe that one day, human beings will be able to rely on their own strength to overcome the evil and expel the evil.

2125.

For everyone, this year is like walking on thin ice with trepidation. Because Jing Si is getting more and more scary, the city is getting more and more scary.

We need manpower, security guards, cleaners, cooks, doctors, even scientific researchers, electricians...

The tower has attracted too many people. Only Xie Yingjie and I have been working hard to study the secret of evil.

In order to speed up the progress, we have to recruit some people, for this, we have to tell a lie...

The Denglin Science and Technology Branch, the Denglin Science and Technology Headquarters, has researched the secrets of evil depravity here, and here, human beings will not be troubled by evil depravity.

This lie is actually half true.

Due to the existence of Jing Si and Jing Liu, Evil Fallen dared not approach this place at all. As long as Jing Si doesn't go crazy, the people here really don't have to worry about becoming evil.

In this way, after getting in touch with high-level officials to no avail, the last forty-three scientists and I decided to continue our research.

It's just... I can also foresee that there may not be many of the forty-four of us left in the end.

2126.

Xie Yingjie and I both know that time is really running out after a year of sleepless nights.

Chaos broke out outside the company, and many people who worked together couldn't hold on anymore, and the big guys began to get sick frequently.

Some emotional colleagues become depressed and sluggish.

We have completely lost contact with the above, and the information we can receive is basically an unlimited call for help set up by other cities.

Everyone was short of supplies, and Xie Yingjie and I had to make changes. We only ate one meal a day. Even taking pleasure in bitterness, he calculated the minimum nutritional intake needed for the brain to continue thinking.

A young colleague asked me, is it worth it? Didn't the Tower invite me?

I don't care whether it's worth it or not, I just know... the tower is not a safe haven, it's just a premeditated existence.

And Xie Yingjie and I will definitely think of a way to expel the evil!

2127.

In the first half of this year, I put forward a conjecture.

If we simulate the brain waves of human fear, or the brain waves of anger and sadness, will it satisfy the evil?

Will it be possible to make the evil give up attacking humans because of this?

When I put forward this conjecture, all colleagues looked at me in amazement...

At that moment, I was sure that we had finally found our way! Even a material problem that was bothering us has been solved!

The city became chaotic and dilapidated, and people resisted evil and competed for resources.

But what surprised me was...every morning, there is food at the door of the company. The food was placed in a conspicuous place, and the people who robbed their houses everywhere did not come to snatch it.

In that moment, I realized one thing, we hadn't been given up. At least the people in this city are still supporting us!

This gave us great inspiration and encouragement.

Just this kind of encouragement, like a flashback before the destruction comes.

Jing Si's situation is getting worse and worse.

The relationship between him and Jing Liu has been declining, because Jing Si also seems to feel that Jing Liu is lying to us.

All the bright futures are fake, what awaits us, maybe there is only destruction?

I shouldn't have thought this way...especially since I've thought of a plan to banish evil, but this one...

Maybe it will never be possible.

Because in the second half of this year... Xie Yingjie left, he went to the tower.

Before leaving, he told me that the tower will be closed in one year. If I agree to go to the tower with him now, I will be directly invited to the fifth floor.

I probably know what the fifth floor is, and I also know what it means for the tower to be closed.

I didn't feel happy at all. All my life I have been unreasonable, pursuing knowledge like a machine.

My mother once said that I only cried when I was just born. In the following decades, I never had such emotions, because I was very happy to be immersed in the academic world. empathy.

But at this moment, I felt a tightness in my chest.

Why is it that the person who left me at this time...is he? Without Xie Yingjie's help, how would this idea be realized?

I still remember his last words:

"The prophecies are all lying to us! There is no savior! Our efforts will not bear fruit, so let us hide in the well and become frogs! Lao Tao, come with me! We are only mere human beings, and it is impossible to deal with them." This sudden power! Life is only a hundred years! Why do we have to bear such a big responsibility?"

Even in 2115, when I saw Jing Si and Jing Liu, I never felt so uncomfortable.

"Let's go, if you stay here...you won't live long."

Yes, according to the speed of mutation of various physical laws in the world, I may soon become a monster.

But... I don't want to leave!

Life is only a hundred years old, you should live in the present, Xie Yingjie, I hope you can find your own peace in the tower.

And what makes me calm in this world is what you said to me in 2115——

As long as we continue to study, we will be able to find the mystery of this power.

...

...

Bai Wu quickly finished reading this memoir, and he soon became confused——

Is the owner of this game area Jing Liu or Mr. Tao?

Now he is not sure of the answer, so his thoughts return to the content of the memoir.

Life is only a hundred years, but in fact, Mr. Tao does not know that many people who have entered the fifth floor of the tower have an endless lifespan.

Bai Wu suddenly thought that perhaps Xie Yingjie was still alive.

Perhaps on the fifth floor of the tower, there is also a Xie Family Manor.

How would the only friend of Mr. Tao's life feel if he learned of Mr. Tao's fate and determination, as well as the contents of this document?

Bai Wu, who has no negative emotions, feels empty inside again.

There is no doubt that Mr. Tao failed.

Even if Xie Yingjie stayed, success would be slim. In a sense, Xie Yingjie did nothing wrong, he just made a choice that most people would make.

Facing the world mutation, which is more exaggerated than divine power, Xie Yingjie succumbed, but Mr. Tao did not succumb.

One lives in the present, and the other lives in his own ideal.

It's just that I don't want to go! It still made Bai Wu a little regretful.

"Did you find anything?"

Seeing Bai Wu approaching the door of the archive room, Wujiu asked.

"I know some of the past, but it's not clear whether it will be useful. Let's go, let's go to the next place."
