Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 Am I an NPC?

"You mean, you're a player? And I'm an NPC, and our world is actually a game? "

Lu Yunchuan looked at the young man sitting next to him with a strange face, his face a little pale.

Although the eyebrows are clear and even have a bit of a sense of déjà vu of the idol drama male pig's feet, the white hospital gown is really a bit eye-catching.

If you jump off a building on the rooftop, you can meet special patients...

What luck am I?

"Okay, just think of me as comforting you, since it's just a game that is being toyed with, then I jump off here, and it's a relief...

Lu Yunchuan lowered his head, looking at the endless traffic and ant-like pedestrians below, his brain was a little dizzy because of the instinct of land creatures to be afraid of heights.

Yes, the two are now sitting on the rooftop fence of a 66-story building.

Looking at the infinite scenery of the magic city with high-rise buildings, there are leisurely floating clouds floating by from time to time under your feet.

It is about 288 meters above the ground, and the theoretical fall takes 7.67 seconds regardless of air resistance.

Considering air resistance, this time will not exceed 12s.

In other words, it only takes about 10 seconds to play this game by yourself... Ahhhh It's the world that says Sayannara~

It took me 10 months to come to this world, and it only took me 10 seconds to say goodbye to this world...

It's ironic...

"Yes! This game is really magical, just like the real world, each NPC has its own independent thoughts, independent behavior patterns, and can actually jump off the building by itself..."

Lu Yunchuan: "..."

You are an NPC, and your whole family is an NPC!

The corners of his mouth twitched and rubbed his eyebrows, too lazy to pay attention to him, and took out a cigarette and lit one for himself.

The nicotine inhaled in the lungs stimulated the release of dopamine, and the pleasure produced reached the brain, slightly relieving the fear before death, but the cigarette trembling slightly between his fingers still exposed his unpeaceful heart.

"If you can, you really want to enjoy this world for a while..."

Hearing the young man's slightly melancholic emotion, Lu Yunchuan, who was swallowing the last flower in his life, couldn't help but sneer.

"Enjoy? This is a world where you are either a cow or a horse, or a chicken and duck, what is there to enjoy? "

The young man seemed to have withdrawn his gaze from the blue sky in the distance for the first time, and turned his head to look at Lu Yunchuan.

It's just that the look in his eyes is quite strange.

"Hey, hey, hey! What kind of eyes do you have, I just became a cow and a horse, and I haven't been reduced to being a chicken or duck, otherwise with my appearance, do I still need to come here to jump off the building? "

The young man's eyes were even more strange, and he glanced at Lu Yunchuan's thick dark circles under his black-rimmed glasses, the slightly embarrassing stubble on his lower jaw, and the slightly bulging beer belly under his white shirt because he often socialized...

Finally, he glanced at Lu Yunchuan's head again.

"You are a cattle and horse with a charm value of only 3, what gives you confidence, and you feel that you can apply for a position with a charm value of at least 5?"

"I ..."

A "#" pops out of the forehead.

No matter how good his temper is, Lu Yunchuan can't help it again and again.

Isn't it just a little younger and more handsome than me?

If 996 hadn't drained my body and youth, I would have been a school grass in college back then!

You can say that I am seriously lacking in wealth, luck, and fortune, but I will never allow you to insult my charm value!

No, no! Didn't I assume that I was an NPC if I thought so?

The other party is trying to pull me to the same level of intelligence, and then use my rich experience to defeat me, and I can't be led by the other party to fall into the trap of self-evidence!

"You know the market so well, how? Should I also want to apply for a position that requires at least 5 charm values? He asked a sarcastic rhetorical question.

The young man sighed a little melancholy.

"I went, passed the audition, and finally failed to pass the hurdle in my heart."

Lu Yunchuan: "..."

They are all here to jump off the building, and you have to show off your superiority in front of me before you die, right?

NPCs for a while, charm for a while.

Can't you let me die quietly with the pride and confidence of being a normal human being?

Looked at the other party and his position, hmm... It is the distance that the hand can reach.

Or ... Pull a cushion before you die?

"So, do you really enjoy this world?" Lu Yunchuan almost gritted his teeth and said this.

"Hmm! Of course. The boy looked at the infinite scenery in the distance again.

"You can run, jump, and even fly freely here... What reason should I not enjoy? "

Lu Yunchuan really wanted to scold, then you jump down and fly one, I'll take a look!

I just inadvertently saw the faint sadness in the other party's eyes, and finally swallowed the words that came to my mouth.

That's all, I am almost 30 years old, and I am not serious about a young man with obvious brain problems.

In case this guy is stimulated by himself, his brain really jumps down to perform "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky".

The characterization of the case changed from suicide to homicide...

"You look like you're only seventeen or eighteen years old, right? At a young age, since you enjoy this game so much, why do you still want to die? "

The so-called "people are about to die" is a good thing.

Lu Yunchuan felt that as a person who had been there, it was necessary for him to enlighten the current young man.

I was wronged, lost a love, and looked for death and survival at every turn.

There is no middle-aged unemployment, no huge mortgage, and no advanced liver cancer, what qualifications do you have to stand with me on the same jumper on the rooftop?

Unexpectedly, the young man just glanced at him lightly.

"Do you like to play games?"

"I like it, when I was in college, I was known as the CS sniper god."

"Since you like it too, why don't you play games, why do you still want to die?"

Lu Yunchuan was stunned.

Only then did I slap my head, and I realized that the current character of the person is a "player".

A "player" feels that no matter how fun and enjoyable a game is, it does not prevent him from seeking death...

"So, are you having trouble in 'your reality'?"

"Hmm! It's about the same as you. "

"Similar to me? Do you know my situation, you are similar to me!" "

"You can probably guess from the wealth value column of your attribute panel."

Lu Yunchuan: "..."

Okay, good! Play like this, right?

You are a player, you are amazing!

As for why the other party guessed so accurately...

Please, nine and a half out of the ten people who come to the rooftop must be because of the wealth value... Ahhhh I came here because I owed a lot of debt.

What's so strange about being able to be blind?

"In your world, players are also short of money?"

"Which world is not poor and sick?"

That's what it says... But to be able to create such a powerful game, shouldn't your world be free of food and clothing? Just the kind of nutritional ointment that fills you up with just one tube? "

"If you go to deliver food, will you starve to death?" The young man asked rhetorically.

Lu Yunchuan was stunned for a moment.

"Uh... Well, when I didn't ask. "

In this indifferent world, it is often not a matter of food and clothing...

He looked at the young man in front of him.

If at first he was just a little sympathetic to the same disease, and then gave birth to some kindness to save the boy who had lost his footing, but now he is really interested.

After all, this young man not only does not have the nagging appearance of an ordinary mentally ill person, but his logic is clear, and his speech and demeanor are full of maturity that his peers do not have.

Curious about the inner world of the mentally ill, Lu Yunchuan asked patiently.

"But if you want to say that this world is a game world, then why are we ... Oh! It's an NPC, but I've never found a player around? For example, the one you said can fly? "

"You play Sims, can the character fly?"

"You mean that the theme of our world is the Sims?"

"It's not the theme of the game in this world, but the tone of the world of this game!"

The other party's index finger stretched across the vast world in the distance.

"You can understand that you are currently in the Overworld.

What you see now is the tone of the world of the Overworld, but based on this world, the system can simulate and evolve countless random derivative worlds.

Hmm... You can also call them copies.

In order not to interfere with the normal development of the world line, the overworld does not allow players to participate directly.

So if you want to see the player, you can only do it in the derived dungeon world.

But even if you see it, you won't remember, because after the dungeon ends, all NPCs' memories will be reset by the system, which is your information cage...."

Lu Yunchuan's face became more and more strange.

Is delusion so crazy now?

The worldview is replenished for you...

It's not scary to encounter mental illness, but the terrible thing is that this is still a cultured mental illness, and the logic is self-consistent, and it really sounds like that.

I think his attending doctor also has a headache...

But a normal person can still drive a mental illness crazy?

"Hehe!" Lu Yunchuan spat out a cigarette ring, glanced at the boy with a contemptuous smile that saw through everything, and then raised a finger and shook it.

"No! Haven't you found it yet? There is an obvious loophole in your theory! "

"Oh? What vulnerability? "

"You say I'm an NPC, in an information cage, should I know nothing about the player? Otherwise, the world would have been messed up long ago! "

"That's right!"

"But... Why am I the 'insider' now? Lu Yunchuan had a smile on his face that I had seen through the truth.

"And you just said it yourself, NPCs can only meet players in the dungeon world, and you, the 'player', are now sitting in front of me alive...

Yes! In your logic! The biggest flaw... It's yourself! "

"..."

The boy's silence made the corners of Lu Yunchuan's mouth gradually curse.

However, the next moment, I only heard him speak slowly.

"Under normal circumstances, players who leak game-related content to NPCs will indeed be automatically blocked by the system.

And as soon as the copy ends, it will be forced offline by the system.

But ... I'm afraid now...

Not a 'normal player'. "

You ... Not normal?

Lu Yunchuan glanced at the hospital gown on the boy's body with strange eyes.

Hmm... I can see it...

Obviously, isn't it?

So what?

"Don't you want to say that you are actually a GM, right?"

The other party did not answer, but stared at him and asked in an inexplicable tone.

"Do you believe that after the death of the player, there will also be a soul?"

Lu Yunchuan was stunned for a moment, "Who knows, I haven't seen it." "

Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly showed a strange smile at him and said quietly...

"No! You saw ..."

"Uh..."

Lu Yunchuan was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Although it was past eleven o'clock in the morning, and the scorching sun was shining above his head, he only felt as if there was a cool air rushing straight from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit cover, and the hair on his body was a little exploded.

He really wanted to say that the little brother should not make such jokes in broad daylight.

But looking at the other party's white to somewhat transparent skin, meeting the other party's smiling eyes, he opened his mouth and throat agitated but couldn't pronounce a syllable.

His eyes fell on the other party's white hospital gown...

Speaking of which... This is the bustling CBD of the city.

This Tianfeng Building is still a pure office building, there is no hospital or private residence in it, and the property security is notoriously strict.

How could the other party dress up as a dangerous person get past the security guard and access control downstairs?

The details that I didn't care too much about just now made his hair stand on end.

Hey, hey, hey! At noon, the yang energy is so strong, doesn't it mean that thing will die in the light?

He twisted his slightly stiff neck and looked down.

At this time, the two were sitting side by side, but under the guardrail, the blazing sun clearly only shone a shadow...

Lu Yunchuan: "..."

The lonely shadow was like a big hand, grabbing his heart fiercely.

Trembling, he opened his mouth, and half of the cigarette in his mouth fell.

The unburned cigarette butt fell on the white shirt, burned a stain, and then fell to the roof and tumbled freely...

His eyes were shouting for help, but his butt seemed to be welded to death, and his whole body was stiff and he didn't dare to move.

This ... What the hell is this guy?

Soul seduction messenger? Grim Reaper? Black and white impermanence?

But I haven't jumped yet, let's just say that the meeting time is a little early?

Hey! Wait! I seem to have wanted to die, I'm not afraid of death, I'm still afraid of this thing?

Maybe they don't have any malice, they just want to come over and say hello to themselves in advance?

Besides, if you look so handsome, you must not be bad-hearted!

Although they are somewhat mentally abnormal, they are often kind-hearted when their intelligence is unknown...

Lu Yunchuan enlightened himself frantically in his heart, but his voice still couldn't help but tremble a little.

"No... Not buddy, you... Who are you? "

"I didn't tell you just now, I'm a player."

Come back?!

Player, your sister!

Is there an end? You yellow skin is begging for a title!

His mind was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out whether there was mental illness in the dirty thing or dirty thing in the mental illness...

Lu Yunchuan could only laugh dryly, "Oh, yes, yes! Hehe, in fact, I, an NPC, like to make friends with players from other worlds. "

The young man looked at Lu Yunchuan, who had a stiff expression, and showed a strange smile.

"Do you like to make friends with players? That's just right, the opportunity has come. "

"What... What does it mean? "

The young man smiled and didn't speak, just looked down.

Lu Yunchuan followed the other party's gaze...

200 meters away from his sight, his falling cigarette butt happened to hit the ground, smashing a few sparks on the ground...

"Boom!"

The next moment, I saw a sudden flash of fire on the ground floor of the Tianfeng Building.

With a violent explosion, Lu Yunchuan only felt a shaking under his buttocks.

Caught off guard, he fell directly outward with an unstable figure, but fortunately, he reacted in the next moment and grabbed the guardrail with his quick eyes.

When he finally stabilized his figure, half of his body had already leaned out of the rooftop, and when he turned his head, it was a cliff-like adrenaline-pumping height difference, which frightened him into a cold sweat.

Looking at the fire under the building that had not completely dissipated.

I saw glass shards all over the ground, as well as people and vehicles fleeing in panic...

What's going on?

Gas leak? Terrorist attack?

It wouldn't be the cigarette butt he had just dropped that ignited the powder keg, right?

Falling objects from high altitudes... Is it so powerful?

He was at a loss, but he saw the light and shadow of the entire world in front of him flashing, and a pale blue light curtain composed of a hexagon of a honeycomb instantly rose from the ground, connecting heaven and earth, encompassing the Tianfeng Building and the surrounding hundreds of meters.

It seems that a slightly noisy mechatronic sound is heard in the ears...
