Chapter 736 Xiang'an District is a huge copy
After that, the rhythmic music once again resounded throughout the villa. The young girls regained their energy and continued to dance happily on the dance floor.
Yan Qingyi should be able to deal with the "licking cockroach's feet" easily...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ye Siyuan picked up the wine glass and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He saw a person standing behind him through the reflection of the wine glass.
A man wearing a peaked cap.
It seemed to blend into the dark environment. If it weren't for the reflection of the wine glass and the light, Ye Siyuan would not have noticed this slender figure for a while.
"In fact, most of your guesses are correct..."
The next moment, the laughing voice of the man was heard behind him.
When he realized that he had been discovered, he turned over and sat on the sofa, bypassing the backrest, and sat directly next to Ye Siyuan.
The young master of the Zheng family who was sent abroad had a rare look of solemnity and panic on his face.
Who is this person?
How did he appear behind me?
"In 94, a meteorite fell. The Shenlu server [copied] the Xiang'an District residents who were massacred by Sakurajima... oh no, the predecessor of the current three tycoons. The population was , and they turned into shadows. Therefore, this matter could not be found in various data. There was no evidence that people died in Xiang'an District in one year, nor could it be found that a meteorite fell. This secret was only known by the three tycoons of Jincheng who massacred people."
"In fact, those who passed away did become 'shadows'..."
As soon as he said this, Ye Siyuan's breathing quickened and he wanted to call for protection, but when he thought of this man's elusive whereabouts, his voice got stuck in his throat and stopped abruptly. If the other party had malicious intentions, he would actually be dead.
He calmed himself down and asked the biggest question in his mind.
"Shadows cannot exist for long."
"Yes!"
The slender figure in the peaked cap crossed his legs and grabbed a bottle of Remy Martin XO on the table;
"Are you thinking that 'shadows' cannot exist for a long time, that 'mimics' will die, and in a short period of time, if they don't devour the host they will die, so you are confused about this view? After all, how could a group of 'shadows', a population of 90, survive from the s to the s? That's why you suspect there are parallel universes..."
Ye Siyuan's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
"Yes!"
A light flashed in his eyes, and his intuition told him that the man in front of him seemed to be able to solve his puzzles.
"But you are right about one point. The population of 110,000 returned to normal one day after the massacre. As time passed, people gradually began to move in. The new population increased, and those who were supposed to have died in the massacre gradually disappeared. So Jiangcheng has maintained a population of 110,000. It's as if 10,000 new people had just been added. Among those who were supposed to have died in the massacre, 10,000 people disappeared..."
"Until Jiangcheng made up for the 110,000 people who disappeared in recent years, nothing happened."
The next moment, the man in the baseball cap poured himself a glass of expensive Remy Martin.
There was no trace of pity in Ye Siyuan's eyes. This was a fine wine that most people would be reluctant to drink, but there were piles of it in his own cellar.
The man picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"This speculation is correct!"
"Normally, when one new person from other provinces comes in, one of these copied people disappears. When two people come in, two of these copied people disappear. It's like they're deliberately maintaining a balance, but in fact, they're repaying a debt. Originally, there were 110,000 fewer people here, so in order to stabilize the gap and avoid being discovered, they borrowed 110,000 people from somewhere. So when they earn one person, they repay one person, and when they earn two people, they repay two people. This is a fact."
"But, it's not because of some parallel universe..."
After saying that, the man in the peaked cap picked up two ice cubes and threw them into the glass, then took another sip from the glass and groaned with pleasure;
"Reality is not interconnected with reality. Even the divine road cannot make two different realities interconnect!"
He really knew, he really knew...
Hearing this confident tone, Ye Siyuan became excited.
"Mimicry can only exist for a certain period of time!"
Still the same problem!
"Mimicry can only exist for a period of time in reality. This is the setting of the Divine Road. It is correct, but there is a problem... Who told you that this is reality? If the Xiang'an District where those "shadows" copied the slaughtered people is just what you think it is, but it is not the real world at all, can you understand this..."
After these words were spoken, Ye Siyuan was stunned for a long time.
"What if I say that the entire Xiang'an District is a copy?"
The man gently put down his glass and spoke calmly.
Wow!
Shadows are creatures that are born from the Divine Road. They are creatures that the Divine Road has copied from certain individuals. So what is the essence of shadows?
Shadows don't exist just because there are any players.
The shadow also existed before copying the Divine Path player, but it only maintained the form of a shadow...
This means that they are actually living things.
Becoming a "mimic" is a process they go through after replicating an individual, just like turning into a silkworm pupa before emerging as a butterfly.
So, where do these creatures themselves belong?
How do they reproduce and thrive?
It’s God’s Road!
Copy!
A shadow is a shadow, and the shadow's form before it copies the player can remain in the copy forever.
Then after [copying] the player, it can also survive in the copy for a long time, but driven by instinct, it will choose to hunt the host.
"All the natives in that copy are "shadows". It was Shenlu who was maintaining the population balance and deliberately wanted to make the massacre a smooth one and not let it get out. So the real Xiang'an District was indeed massacred, but the Xiang'an District in reality became a copy of Shenlu!"
"Ordinary people can also enter the dungeon and see those living people and the city running normally, but the authorities have not paid attention to it. What is the purpose of the Divine Road?"
Hearing this, the man in the baseball cap chuckled.
"The Divine Road is the Divine Road, and the Shadow is the Shadow. The Shadow was born from the Divine Road, but don't think that the Shadow is in league with the Divine Road server!"
"The Divine Road is a supernatural phenomenon, and the server has to run. The cost of running is that it will produce running garbage. That running garbage... is the "shadow."
"But it is not the will of the Shenlu server to create "shadows". The Shenlu server does not want to create shadows, just like the CPU and graphics card of a computer do not want to generate garbage in the computer when running certain software. But there is no way. As long as you open the software and let it start running, there will definitely be garbage!"
Therefore, maintaining stability in Xiang'an District in the 90s was Shadow's will, not Shenlu's purpose.
It was only because Xiang'an District had become a huge copy that the news of the massacre did not spread.
Because those who died at that time were copied by shadows. As for why those people's bodies disappeared out of thin air, no, they did not disappear, but because the boundary of Xiang'an District is the boundary of this copy.
Entering Xiang'an District is equivalent to entering this copy. That is the Xiang'an District copied from the copy in the Divine Road. Naturally, there are no corpses in it. In other words, if this huge copy covering Xiang'an District disappears, the real Xiang'an District will be exposed to the public.
That is the real world, with corpses and bones everywhere...
"And one more thing……"
The next moment, the man in the peaked cap ignored Ye Siyuan who was full of excitement, raised the wine glass he had just put down, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then said lightly;
"You thought that meteorite was related to the Divine Road. You guessed wrong. The Divine Road server is not a meteorite."
The Shenlu server is not a meteorite?
Isn’t it because of the landing of the meteorite that the second largest area appeared?
Moreover, the meteorite hit the day after the massacre. Since you said that Xiang'an District was replaced by a copy, and those people who were supposed to die were copied by shadows, then it is impossible that this copy appeared out of thin air, and those shadows came out of the ground, right?
Where did they come from?
"That meteorite is a replica, a replica of a huge group of creatures called shadows. Those shadows came to Jiangcheng in this world along with that meteorite, but the Divine Road is not..."
"The Divine Road is something that has always existed. The Divine Road server has been in this world for longer than you think. It's just that during a certain merging of timelines and the process of [cutting] a certain timeline, the Divine Road was overloaded, so it failed to clear out the garbage that was originally thrown into the [cut] timeline."
"I accidentally let a copy of that garbage runner fall from the sky and enter this world."
After saying this, the man in the baseball cap added another sentence.
"Oh yes, it's worth mentioning that the world that should have been [cut] out is your world."
Upon hearing this, Ye Siyuan's face once again showed a hint of shock.
our world?
Originally, was our world meant to be [cut] by God's path?
"What would happen if the world we live in was [cut] off by the Divine Road?"
The next moment, Ye Siyuan suddenly became nervous.
This young master sent by Zheng Jiahe from Jincheng is obviously a middle school student with a second-year syndrome and a fantasyist. If it were an ordinary person, hearing someone say that your world was originally supposed to be [cut] out, he would have given up and left. Isn't that crazy! ?
The man in the peaked cap chuckled;
"Nothing will happen!"
"For any individual, the world you live in being [cut] will not affect your life. Your consciousness is real, and you can still feel this world. You are still the young master of the Zheng family in Jincheng. It is probably like waking up from a sleep. You haven't changed much. You are still you, and this world is still this world. The sun is still the same sun, rising in the east and setting in the west. You won't have any obvious feelings, but some of your memories may be wrong, but it's harmless."
"But in fact, you merged with an individual in another parallel universe. You are still you, but you are not you."
"That's not quite accurate, but you won't realize you're not yourself anymore!"
"It's just that sometimes there are some accidents. For example, now, I am here because a certain individual who should have been replaced by me silently and quietly realized that I am not myself and began to want to disobey my will."
"But there is a very annoying thing. In the copy created by this "shadow" in [Jiangcheng Xiang'an District], some shadows belong to other parallel universes. They were originally the garbage collected from the trash can of the Shenlu server that was emptied in one go. Some of them have entered certain other worlds and [copied] certain individuals in other worlds. As a result, these shadows retain the memories of other worlds. This is why you think there are deviations in some aspects of memory..."
[Jiangcheng Xiang'an District] is a copy!
