Chapter 2 The Three Principles of the Surreal World
As the white light gradually dissipated, Xing Tianyu found himself standing on a rooftop. Looking around, he looked at the familiar street scene of New York City.
"Huh? Why isn't this time traveling at the shooting scene of the TV series?" Xing Tianyu asked with some surprise.
He thought they would enter another TV series this time.
Lhasadis shrugged, "How do I know that this level of time travel itself has no reason to say. Usually the world will accept us in a reasonable way and make us a member of this world, but it is impossible to determine what kind of identity we have arranged for us."
He said while carefully observing the surroundings, but found nothing suspicious.
"Maybe our identity is a passerby who ran to the rooftop to see the scenery."
"Damn it, my magic doesn't work anymore!" Sivia complained. She wanted to use prophecy to lock Xing Ziyue's position.
But Lhasadis waved his hand, "Don't worry, I have a way to find your daughter. As long as she is in this world, I will definitely find her." Lhasadis said confidently.
"How to find it?"
"There is no way to explain. You just need to know that every time you travel through the reality, there will be some traces left. Of course, ordinary people cannot discover it, but I can. By the way, your woman disappeared in your home, right? Take me to the place where she disappeared."
Sivia nodded suspiciously, and the two took Lhasadis all the way to the address where Sivia lived. This is still the old woman's home last time, but this time the two did not enter because according to Lhasadis, there was no need to be so troublesome.
Lhasadis started to wander around with the two of them, but after wandering around for two rounds, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"How is it? Have you discovered something?" Sivia asked with concern.
Lhasadis shook his head, "Nothing, no trace of time travel. By the way, are you sure your daughter is not in the real world?"
Sivia shook her head, "I have tested all with prophecy, positioning, and remote sensing, without any reaction, as if there is no such person as her. The only explanation is that she ran to another world."
"Then, I'm afraid the thing I'm most worried about happened." Lhasadis smiled bitterly on his face, as if he had thought of something terrible.
"What do you mean?" Xing Tianyu's heart sank and asked in a low voice.
"It is very likely that she will travel to another world, the opposite of the absolute real world."
"Are you talking about the surreal world?" Sivia asked. After receiving a positive answer, her face changed. Xing Tianyu also had a heavy expression. Both of them had heard Lhasadis's description of the surreal world. They felt like it was a very dangerous world. Her daughter was just a little baby girl and had no ability to protect herself. Isn't it extremely dangerous in such a world?
As if feeling their thoughts, Lhasadis shook his head, "Don't worry, although that world is extremely dangerous, it is only for some people. Since your daughter is an orphan, there is most of it not dangerous."
Lhasadis's brainless explanation was completely impossible to reassure the two of them.
"Whether there is danger or not, we have to save her quickly." Sivia said, looking at Lhasa with Xing Tianyu, "Will you help us?"
Lhasadis nodded in the face of the two eyed each other. "I will take you there, but listen. The surreal world is very dangerous and is definitely not a joke, so you must listen to me in this action."
Both of them nodded hesitantly. "We all listen to you, just let us find our daughter."
Xing Tianyu said, "Tell me, what do you need to pay attention to?"
When Lhasadis saw the two people agree, he immediately sighed in relief, "This is what you said. If you don't listen to me, I will not be responsible for any problems.
First, don’t talk nonsense. In the surreal world, one sentence may lead to a disaster, so before saying anything, you must think twice before saying anything.”
Sivia was a little disbelief, "So exaggerated? You're not kidding, are you? Or there are many bad guys in that world, but we have magic."
Lhasadiz shook his head, "It's not a matter of the size of power, but a matter of the rules of the world. In the surreal world, if you are an ordinary person, it's not that dangerous. Instead, the more special it is, the easier it is to die. Do you know the meaning of setting a flag?"
The two of them nodded, and of course the word was very familiar.
"Things like "stand flags" usually only work in films and TV dramas, but in the real world, most of them have no practical significance. Of course, they will come true occasionally, but they are usually just coincidences.
In the absolute real world, a flag will never have any effect, and even coincidences are almost impossible. However, in the surreal world, a flag has an immediate effect. For example, [After doing this, I plan to go back to my hometown to get married]. If you dare to say this in the surreal world, then you can basically gg."
Xing Tianyu and Sivia looked at each other, and they were a little unbelievable. This sounded too incredible. However, they had experienced a lot and had seen all kinds of strange things. In addition, they were eager to save their daughter, so they nodded, "I understand, we will never talk nonsense."
Lacedis said again, "The second thing is, don't use your superpowers casually. If possible, don't show any characteristics that are different from ordinary people."
Xing Tianyu was stunned when he heard this, "Then why is this?"
Lhasadis explained, "This involves a question of the tone of the story, or the character setting. In the surreal world, everyone is part of a story, and everyone has their own character setting. For example, you are an office worker, from 9 to 5 every day, then your story tone is a life movie. You may not encounter anything bizarre in your life. The biggest danger you may encounter is just a car accident or a lung cancer caused by smoking too many cigarettes."
"But if you suddenly have a sudden whim and want to find some excitement one day. So you run to Chinatown, find fortune tellers in a gloomy tavern, or run to the corner of the library to find ancient books and esoteric books. Then your behavior will change the tone of your story, and your story may turn into a fantasy movie, or worse supernatural movie, or even supernatural horror movie. It depends on what book you find and what you have experienced in the process, and then monsters and monsters come one after another, and before you can react, you are already dead, or end up with a more tragic fate than death."
"So in that world, you must not use your magic casually, as it will cause great trouble. Since everyone's initial settings are life films, as long as you do nothing, you are just a couple who want to find their daughter. But once you use your superpowers, the tone of your story will immediately go off the line, and God knows what will trigger."
The two of them couldn't accept it anymore, but they nodded. Xing Tianyu thought to himself that this guy must be fooling us, right? But he still said, "Okay, unless it's absolutely necessary, we will definitely not use our magic easily. So what's the third thing?"
"How do you know there is a third one?" Lhasadis asked strangely.
"Because there will always be a third one." Xing Tianyu said expressionlessly.
Lhasadiz thought about it and nodded, "It makes sense, yes, there is indeed a third thing to pay attention to. In the surreal world, any event has a beginning and an end. It will not end suddenly, nor will it give up halfway. Once you start your mission, you are destined to start a prelude to a story, so you must think of an end to your story and realize it. Only when the story is over can we leave that world."
This time, Xing Tianyu did not ask why, but thought directly, "What do you think [from now on they live happily together] will end?"
Lhasadis nodded, "It sounds good, so that's it. You must make sure that this ending will appear. Of course, there may be other endings. In short, it depends on the situation. OK, if you are ready, then we are going to set off." Lhasadis's face showed a determined look like a martyr, as if he was about to go to the execution ground, and said resolutely.
