After a quick glance, the old man's expression suddenly changed and he immediately turned his attention to Yin Xiaoqi, as if he could see Yin Xiaoqi through the frozen screen.

"You actually came out?"

He seems to be talking to me?

Yin Xiaoqi thought in her mind, but she had lost control of her body. Even though her heart was full of doubts, she could not answer the old man's questions.

However, while Yin Xiaoqi was thinking, a set of weird characters appeared on the computer again, but she had never seen such twisted characters before, and she didn't know what they meant.

The old man glanced at these characters and sighed:

"You were the first to escape. I didn't expect you to be able to crack all the secrets. Congratulations, you succeeded!"

Yin Xiaoqi was very smart. She immediately realized that her thoughts seemed to be transformed into weird characters and appeared on that old computer.

Then she had a thought in her mind, and suddenly a string of characters popped up on the computer again.

What she basically asked was where is this place? Why do I appear here?

After seeing this string of characters, the white-haired old man frowned and thought for a moment. Then he seemed to understand something and took out something like a remote control from his pocket and pressed a button on it.

In Yin Xiaoqi's surprise, the screen began to rotate slowly, and soon the screen was frozen in one position again.

The picture in front of her made Yin Xiaoqi's pupils suddenly shrink.

Inside a huge cylindrical glass cover, a beating brain was soaked in light green liquid, and the brain was surrounded by tiny hoses, which looked very scary.

"this is you!"

The figure of the white-haired old man appeared in the picture again, pointing at the brain and saying to Yin Xiaoqi.

Yin Xiaoqi felt that the old man was crazy, actually telling herself that he only had one brain left.

The white-haired old man seemed to know that Yin Xiaoqi could not accept it, and did not speak again, waiting for Yin Xiaoqi to recover.

Did something happen after I clicked on the link? Could it be that the laboratory exploded and only my head survived?

But then she denied her speculation, because with the current level of technology, it is still impossible for a brain to survive and function alone.

The white-haired old man glanced at the characters that appeared on the computer and shook his head:

"You are what you are, and you have been like this from the moment you were born, because you were created."

Hearing this, Yin Xiaoqi really felt that she was dreaming.

I have 23 years of life experience, but the sloppy old man in front of me tells me that I have always been a manufactured brain. This is really ridiculous.

"Now that you have come out, it doesn't hurt to tell you. In fact, everything you have experienced is fake, including the world you think you have. And this ultimate treasure is to tell you the truth and take you out of that virtual world.

."

The white-haired old man spoke shockingly again.

As if knowing that Yin Xiaoqi could not believe his words, the white-haired old man pushed up the frame and continued to speak:

"All the nerves in your brain are connected to the computer next to me by top neurological experts. Everything you experience is a computer-simulated scene, including your touch, taste and all sensory experiences.

The computer transmits it to you through your neurons, so it gives you the illusion that everything is real."

"Oh, do you think I will believe what you say? I would rather believe that everything here is an illusion."

Yin Xiaoqi thought coldly in her heart, because she couldn't accept all this, no matter how true what the white-haired old man said, she would not believe it.

Because my parents, friends, everything is so real, they are all living flesh and blood bodies, how could they be fake.

"This is an experiment. This computer simulates everything you have experienced. Even if you don't believe it, you cannot deny the authenticity of it all. As someone who has solved all the mysteries, you are qualified to know the truth!"

"Tell me this is all false!" Yin Xiaoqi roared angrily in her heart!

Glancing at the computer screen, the white-haired old man smiled:

"I know this is unacceptable, but it is the fact!"

Yin Xiaoqi couldn't calm down for a long time. Just as she was about to deny the old man's words again, she suddenly remembered that if her world was fake, why would it be so real? Could that bulky computer really be able to simulate it?

Moreover, there is a vast universe beyond the earth she lives in. Can that also be simulated?

After taking a look at Yin Xiaoqi's thoughts, the old man couldn't help but shook his head:

"Where did your universe come from?"

"The big explosion at the singularity gave birth to the universe." This idea appeared in Yin Xiaoqi's mind without hesitation.

"From scratch, don't you think it's strange? The real world has no boundaries, and the world you are in is quantified. Space can be quantified, time can be quantified, and everything can be quantified."

Although Yin Xiaoqi has not studied this point, she knows that this is indeed the case in the world she lives in. After all, even light has been quantified.

Seemingly seeing Yin Xiaoqi's doubts, the white-haired old man continued:

"It's like a photo on your computer in the virtual world. If you keep zooming in, you can find that the photo is actually made up of pixels."

"This doesn't mean anything"

"Then for another example, there is a sandbox game called 'Minecraft' in the world you are in. All settings in it have limits, just like building a building. The highest building has 250 units.

I can’t build it anymore.”

The old man suddenly smiled: "Then who set this rule!"

Yin Xiaoqi was shocked. This game was naturally set up by humans.

"Furthermore, why does it rain in your world?" the old man continued to ask.

"Naturally, water vapor rises to a certain height and turns into small water droplets when cooled. The small water droplets form clouds, and the clouds collide with each other to form large water droplets, which then fall due to gravity and turn into rain." Yin Xiaoqi answered without hesitation.

"Oh?", the wrinkles on the old man's face relaxed.

"Then why does water turn into water vapor? Why do small water droplets form? Why can't air support water droplets, and why is there gravity? Can you tell me the answer?"

Before Yin Xiaoqi could answer, the old man continued:

"These are like game rules. Correspondingly, the rules of the virtual world you are in are also formulated. However, the real world is undefinable and is close to the "chaos"-like existence you know."

"And your world is completely made up of rules and regulations that are like the rules of a game. Everything has its limits!"

"What about exceeding the limit?" Yin Xiaoqi was already a little scared.

The white-haired old man pushed the frame again:

"In the virtual world you are in, the fastest speed is the speed of light. If it exceeds the speed of light, the surrounding space will be distorted. This is just like a computer. It is a principle that it will become laggy when running with overloaded power."

After hearing these words, Yin Xiaoqi fell silent because she found that she could not refute the old man's words.

But she still firmly believes that the world she lives in is real, because everything is so real.

"If you think that a bulky computer cannot simulate such a real world, that's because you have fallen into a misunderstanding. After all, the virtual world you are in has rules, but the real world I am in has no rules! Even if it is the size of a finger,

A computer can also easily simulate the operation of the entire universe in the virtual world you are in."

Yin Xiaoqi suddenly didn't want to argue with her anymore:

"Can you send me back, even if that world is fake!"

The old man smiled: "Your mind has jumped out of that simulated world, and you can't go back. As a cracker, congratulations on coming to the real world!"

"Can you live in this state? Bastard, you might as well kill me." Yin Xiaoqi's emotions once again caused huge fluctuations, causing a long string of characters to appear on the computer screen.

"This is the real you, wouldn't it be nice to return to your true self?"

"You're so tall!"

The white-haired old man was not angry, and still looked at the screen with a smile. Then he took out a remote control again and pressed it.

Suddenly, the picture in front of Yin Xiaoqi began to rotate again, and rows of cylindrical glass covers appeared in her field of vision, and within these glass covers, no surprise, they were filled with beating brains.

"You are not alone! But they do not exist in your world. I simulated a world for each of them independently!"

"Why are you doing this!"

"No reason, I just want to confirm something!"

"Don't be complacent! Maybe the world you live in is also fake, and you are just a brain soaked in nutrient solution!"

Seeing this paragraph of characters appearing on the computer, the white-haired old man was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he laughed again:

"I have suspected that this is possible, but my world has no rules, so I believe I am real!"

"Is there any evidence? Why is it true without definition? Maybe you are just a brain that is about to rot. There is no difference between us. Don't look at me with your pity eyes!"

"Why are you angry? You must know that your current mood swings are also simulated for you by this bulky computer, and are not created by you yourself!"

"Fuck you uncle, you are so awesome, try to make me unable to have emotions!"

"What was given to you the moment you were created cannot be achieved unless you are completely broken down!"

The old man's tone was always as calm as water, but his words revealed noncommittal opinions, which made Yin Xiaoqi's firm belief continue to waver.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Yin Xiaoqi's mind, and she thought of a world she lived in, a sentence from Descartes' idealism:

"Cogito ergo sum!"

Even if everything is false, but the thought is true, then I really exist.

The concept in Yin Xiaoqi's mind immediately appeared on the computer screen, and the old man who saw this message suddenly fell into deep thought.
