Before people enter the ultimate nightmare, they actually never thought that each of them is the master of this nightmare.

Even now, they don't have this actual feeling. They feel that they are in the torrent of a certain era, and everyone is just a small wave among them, but everyone feels that they are independent and that they will not be affected by this rushing river.

Of course, they cannot affect this turbulent river.

That is the contrast between the grand and the small.

Therefore, they still have a sense of nothingness to stay out of the matter. When they open their eyes, they may think they have gone back in time, or they may think they have been deceived by this game.

However, they will not have a feeling that their every move will affect the fate of the human race.

Until this moment.

Except for the three people in the bookstore on the ground floor of the narrow building, and Xiang Chenyu who is in the ultimate nightmare, no one knows why this strange window popped out in front of them, and the content of this window was: "Do you want to leave? This nightmare, return to the narrow building? Yes/No Note, you must choose the same answer three times in a row before the game can confirm the corresponding result;

Your choice will have a vital impact on this nightmare and the ending of this game.

"Your choice will be directly related to the survival of artificial intelligence in the narrow building."

Ding Yi looked at the window that suddenly appeared in front of him, and couldn't help being stunned. He subconsciously stood still and looked at his companions.

He Shujun and He Xi nodded towards her.

He Shujun even asked directly: "You also saw that strange window, didn't you?"

"Yes..." Ding Yi said, "This seems to be the choice we need to make? Perhaps this is why Xu Beijin allowed us to enter this ultimate nightmare..."

He Xi asked nervously: "What should we choose?"

Ding Yi looked at the man.

This is He Shujun's companion, but his personality is very different from that of He Shujun.

This is an introverted, shy, and shy man. They walked along, no matter what Xi wanted to do, he would first seek the advice of his two companions.

For Ding Yi, such a person seemed too indifferent. At least as a commodity merchant, Ding Yi, she would not like such subordinates;

But she has to admit that as a companion, He Xi's caution is very commendable.

They have come to He Shujun's high school, but they have not found any problems.

It has become a scene in the fog, so it took them a long time to find the entrance.

They didn't find anything in the school at first, but they encountered a group of aggressive lunatics on the school playground.

Thanks to He Xi's caution, they didn't break in by mistake, but took a preemptive try.

Otherwise, they might already be in their mouths by this time.

However, there was nothing here in He Shujun's high school, and they were somewhat discouraged.

They temporarily returned to a safe, empty classroom, discussing what to do next.

Then, this inexplicable window appeared in their field of vision.

Ding Yi said: "Two choices: leave the nightmare, or stay in this nightmare."

He Shujun said: "Surely it is to leave the nightmare?" Instinct told her that she should do this, but she pondered for a while and felt that she should be more cautious.

Then he said, "But, I don't quite understand, why is there an option to stay in this nightmare?"

"Can this nightmare last forever?" He Xi said tentatively.

He Shujun said naturally: "But we have to go back to the narrow building to solve our dilemma, right? No matter what we think, we have to go back to the narrow building. It's nothing to stay in the nightmare."

Ding Yi nodded and said, "You are right. But...we are all awake now. Those who have fallen into the ultimate nightmare, how would they choose?"

He Shujun fell into thinking.

It is difficult to put oneself into the position of lunatics, especially, their identities in their respective ultimate nightmares are still related to their past. The sinking in this situation seems to be like going back to the past.

return to the past?

Something faintly flashed in He Shujun's brain.

At this time, He Xi said, "But, as we walked all the way, it seemed... that we didn't encounter those who perished? I mean, those who perish in the ultimate nightmare are not those who come out of the gray mist."

Ding Yi was stunned, recalled for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Yes, I remember...it seems to be the case."

They did not encounter any irrational person in the gray fog. When the three of them were walking through the gray mist, they did encounter some people, but those people still retained their sobriety and consciousness. They all know that this is the ultimate nightmare.

This seems very strange.

He Shujun thought for a moment, and then made a bold guess: "Perhaps at this time, there are only sober people in the ultimate nightmare?"

Ding Yi looked at her.

He Shujun said: "After Xu Beijin allowed us to enter this nightmare, we should always stay awake and sensible, and don't get lost in this nightmare. And we have always done this.

"Now this strange pop-up window appears... What if he keeps us awake and sensible just for the moment when the pop-up window appears?

"Make our choice, and then we can leave the nightmare. This shows that this is the ending of this nightmare, and even the ending of the entire game. And our reason will let us make the right choice.

"Then push it backwards, if there are irrational people in the ultimate nightmare, then this pop-up window may not appear, right? This does not meet his requirements for us."

Ding Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "In this case, is it necessary for everyone to choose to "leave the nightmare"? "

"Yes..." He Shujun said, "I'm sure. Anyway, we have to go back to the narrow building, right? Although the narrow building is just a game scene, the nightmare is even more false.

"What's the meaning of false truth?"

Ding Yi was stunned.

Afterwards, the three of them clicked "Leave Nightmare" one after another. However, after they made their choice, the window just flashed and then disappeared. But nothing has changed in this nightmare.

Perhaps they need to wait for others to make a choice.

At the same time, Mu Jiashi, Shen Yunju and the goddess made the same choice.

Mu Jiashi's tone was extremely calm: ""Stay in the nightmare", this is a trap. "

They are still staying in the third operating room of the mental hospital. In the past period of time, they had conversations with Liang Xing over and over, but they didn't get more useful information.

But the moment this pop-up window appeared, Mu Jiashi realized it.

He didn't know why this pop-up window appeared, or whether it was because of Xu Beijin or other people in the ultimate nightmare. In short, they seem to be facing the end of this nightmare.

"The ending of this nightmare?" Shen Yunju asked with some confusion, "but why is the ending of this nightmare... so strange? There are such strange pop-ups? It's like..."

"It's like a game. And this is indeed a game." Mu Jiashi replied calmly, "In the era of keyboard games, people can choose the ending of the game with the click of a mouse; and we are doing similar things now."

Shen Yunju was taken aback.

Mu Jiashi couldn't help sighing and said: "No matter how real the picture of this game is and how it fits the actual situation, this is only a game after all. And the game is made up of countless choices made by players."

Shen Yunju nodded thoughtfully.

The goddess babbled and said: "It's indeed time...it's time to face the final battle..."

"Is the final decisive battle?" Mu Jiashi thought for a moment, and then smiled, "Perhaps, the choice of each of us is the key to winning this decisive battle."

Shen Yunju asked: "So what should we choose?"

Mu Jiashi did not answer this question clearly. He explained: "What do you think these two choices symbolize?"

"Uh..." Shen Yunju hesitated, "Going back to the narrow building means...face, reality? And staying in the nightmare means escaping? That's what I think."

Mu Jiashi nodded, and then said: "Have you noticed? The prompt says that this choice will not only affect the outcome of the game, but also affect the nightmare."

"what does that mean?"

"This choice prompted me. Do you think this ultimate nightmare will restart? And if it restarts, can it... stay forever at the moment before the end?"

Shen Yun thought for a moment, then his face changed slightly.

Mu Jiashi said: "Theoretically speaking, this is achievable." He paused for a while, and then said, "As long as the period before the end is not coming, the cycle and repeat. Anyway, nightmares are always possible. Restarted. It has always been like this."

He was silent suddenly.

However, both Shen Yunju and the goddess were silent.

After a while, the goddess murmured: "It's just...false... Truman's world."

Shen Yunju took a breath and said, "And NE... has never been able to do something with our memories."

This fact caused them to fall into a more painful situation in an instant.

They can choose to indulge in false beauty forever. The end has never happened, they still stay on their home planet, living a peaceful, ordinary and normal life.

They did not struggle to survive in bloody, chaotic, and repressive nightmares, nor did they lead a deadly and desperate life in a narrow building shrouded in gray mist...

They can go back to the beginning, back to the origin when nothing happened.

Even, they can forget those past, those pains and those memories. They can give up chasing the truth and just live bluntly and happily.

But that is fake!

It has already happened. It’s never that they want those things to have never happened, and those things really can’t happen.

They are now facing an ultimate choice. A painful but had to face choice.

On the side, Liang Xing looked at them blankly with one or two eyes, completely not understanding what they were talking about.

At this moment, the three taskers really determined that this man who was extremely important in the game setting was just an NPC.

Perhaps the actor who once played this man has fallen into a nightmare?

There are many possibilities.

But in the end, Mu Jiashi just glanced at him quietly, and then turned away without interest.

He said: "So, staying in this nightmare means succumbing to the illusory dream shaped by artificial intelligence. But it is a nightmare..."

Mu Jiashi couldn't help but pause.

He suddenly thought that sometimes, the name represents the initial impression of the same thing.

And they have always referred to the copy in this game as a "nightmare."

Because it is a "nightmare," they disgust, fear, resist, evade, or fight as they should. I am afraid that few people will truly like such a nightmare.

And now, when they are faced with this choice, they are also instinctively inclined to leave this nightmare.

Why?

Because the narrow building sounds dilapidated, dirty, and old, but at least it is not a nightmare!

Perhaps such a tendency cannot be said to determine their final choice, but it is ultimately an influence.

Moreover, they also call this nightmare the "ultimate nightmare." They think that the arrival of this nightmare means that they are about to reap the end of this game-they are about to escape from this game in a real sense.

In this case, who would choose to stay in this game? They will be free soon!

Thinking about it, Mu Jiashi felt that this game was really interesting.

From various perspectives, this game is even helping them, helping them awaken their memories, and helping them escape from the narrow building. Even at this moment, there are some details reminding them.

—Nightmare is not a good thing. Hurry and leave. Hurry up to make that choice, hurry up and leave this damn, scary, nightmare.

They should not be immersed in false dreams, not to mention that this is essentially a nightmare.

Mu Jiashi thought, sugar-coated cannonballs.

And their choice is directly linked to the outcome of artificial intelligence.

Mu Jiashi guessed that this is because whether artificial intelligence can continue to manage the narrow building, in the final analysis, is whether humans will continue to give it this responsibility.

Returning to the narrow building means that mankind intends to face reality and no longer continue to immerse itself in the protection of artificial intelligence.

Staying in the nightmare means that humans continue to escape, continue to be content with the status quo, and even willing to sink directly into the false dreams created by artificial intelligence.

Mu Jia really thought, this is really something that can only happen in the game.

If this is what happened in reality, then the situation would appear more realistic.

For example, what about their living supplies? What do they eat and drink, and what do they live on?

Only the game will draw those living items from the card pool out of thin air.

Thinking about it, Mu Jiashi felt that it was ridiculous.

He said firmly to his two companions: "Choose to leave the nightmare."

All three made their own decisions.

However, nothing has changed, except that the window disappears, and the nightmare has not changed.

Shen Yunju asked: "Is it necessary to wait for other people's choices? Everyone must make the same choice?"

"It looks like it is." Mu Jiashi said, "However, since Xu Beijin had already emphasized the need to stay sober and sensible when he notified others. Then, everyone should make the same choice.

"As long as they are still sober."

Xu Bei looked at the number "1" with a headache.

What's up...

At the most critical moment, a madman suddenly appeared again? !

As long as this lunatic appears one second early, the situation will not be so headache and dilemma.

The window to make a decision has opened. People must make a decision at this moment.

There is no retreat for mankind. But...there is still a lunatic who sinks into the ultimate nightmare among them!

It was just right at that moment!

Xu Beijin even wondered, did NE wake up? That's why I came here on purpose? Want them to fail?

But looking at the control panel in front of him that was still running normally, Xu Bei knew it, it was just his thinking.

He took a deep breath.

Beside him, Ringo held his hand quietly. He noticed that Xu Beijin had become a little calmer, and then said softly, "Don't worry..."

Xu Bei smiled bitterly. He said, "Don't worry. It's up to people to get things done, and it's up to the sky. We have done our best."

Ringo tilted her head and kissed his lips.

Xu Bei drooped his eyes and finally calmed down slowly.

However, he still reluctantly said: "Let's see who this guy is."

After uttering that sentence to Chenyu and the selection pop-up window appeared, a new window appeared on the dashboard.

The above shows the total number of people who are about to make a decision in the ultimate nightmare, as well as the number of people who have made a choice and the number of people who have not made a choice.

Under the two options of "Leave the Nightmare" and "Stay in the Nightmare", the number of the former has risen rapidly, while the number of the latter is still zero.

However, Xu Bei is always a little worried, thinking that the number may become one at any time.

As he had seen before.

Obviously the situation is very good, but it fell short.

He, his companions, and even all the humans in the narrow building, they have done their best. No one is holding back, everyone tries their best to complete the tasks they get.

Now the number of people who are still awake in the ultimate nightmare accounts for one-fifth of the total number of people who entered the nightmare at the beginning. This number has greatly exceeded Xu Beijin's imagination.

But it went wrong. It just so happened that a lone number appeared.

If it really fails because of this... Xu Bei will feel more discouraged than ever before.

More importantly, he didn't know at all, if they failed this time, would they still have a chance to try again.

Thinking about it, Xu Beijin inevitably sighed.

He hides this window, returns to the panel of the ultimate nightmare, and then selects the lone number to see who this person is.

The three of them, Xu Beijin and Ringo, and Xie Zhijin, who had not spoken aside and thought he was an invisible person, surrounded them at this time and cast their gazes at the same time.

The next moment, Xu Beijin and Ringo were both stunned.

It's Suenya.

It can also be called Xie Ji and Ke Xu, but at this time, she did appear on the screen with Su Enya's appearance and appearance.

Around her, Fei, Wu Jian, Jiang Shuangmei, and Ye Lan gathered together.

These five people actually got together!

Xu Bei couldn't help frowning.

Su Enya is crazy?

This sounds incredible.

Su Enya was their companion, and she was also the one who had heard Xu Bei's warnings to keep sober in the nightmare. She knows the seriousness of the matter and also knows her mission.

How could she sink into a nightmare at this moment?

This problem also appeared in the brains of the other four people present.

Now, the hearts of Fei, Wu Jian, Jiang Shuangmei and Ye Lan are also full of perplexity and a kind of heavy worry.

They all looked at Su Enya.

And Su Enya looked dazed, at a loss and in a trance, just standing there quietly. No one knows what she is thinking?

Xu Bei looked at her for a while, frowning tightly. Then, he began to look at the scene around them.

Su Enya's problem at this moment may be related to where they came.

Before that, Fei He Wujian and others separated from Mu Jiashi and Ding Yi and went to Xie Zhijin's community.

The original intention was to find the place where the fog was initially filled, but they could not find anything in Xie Zhijin's community.

The unseen computer is dead, and they don't know where to go now.

But at this moment, they met Suenya.

Su Enya showed extreme panic and anxiety, and she yelled, saying that they should leave as soon as possible and can't stay here anymore. She said that this residential area is finished.

Ruined?

Jiang Shuangmei almost subconsciously thought of "Cheng Jing Furniture". Her sister stayed in that nightmare and didn't know when she could be rescued.

And that was Su Enya's nightmare.

They are now in a residential area, and perhaps something similar has happened in this residential area.

Sure enough, they soon learned from Su Enya that many facilities in this community also had problems, and they were very hostile to living people.

Therefore, they left the community quickly.

But at this time, Wu Jian also prompted an idea: "What if this is the clue we need to look for?"

And Su Enya said without hesitation: "My nightmare is of this type, what do you want to know? I can tell you."

It's utterly inconsistent.

With Dai Wuhuan, Su Enya is not so yin and yang. But she appeared extremely aggressive in extreme panic, and every sentence seemed to have a gun and a stick, making people afraid to talk to her.

Soon, they came to a new scene. This is the entrance of a hotel, and there is also a stand beside it, saying who and whose wedding is this day.

They were about to discuss the next action when they suddenly found that Su Enya seemed to be stunned for a long time;

Then they found a pop-up window suddenly popped out in front of them.

What happened was dizzying, but the four taskers quickly figured out what happened, and soon turned their worried eyes on Su Enya.

What's wrong with Su Enya? Can she still make the right choice?

Fei asked tentatively: "Are you okay? Do you think of something?"

Su Enya said in a dreamlike tone: "This is...this is mine, the wedding scene."

Everyone was stunned for an instant.

The wedding in the doomsday...at this moment. They seem to think about countless possible tragedies.

But they just came to Suenya's wedding scene at this moment.

"Today is my wedding..." Su Enya said in general, and then her tone gradually became joyful and joyous, "I am getting married!"

Following her words, the ordinary clothes on her body also changed.

She put on a white wedding dress, became radiant, with exquisite makeup, and even held a bouquet in her hand.

She picked up one side of the skirt alone, and said to herself: "The bride...it's time to enter."

Around her, the four taskers saw her like this, and they felt cold all over.

Shuangmei Jiang murmured: "She... has fallen into this nightmare."

"The World of Truman", a movie. The male protagonist lives in a false world shaped by others.
