Chapter 371: False and Real

Wu Pifu didn't get up immediately. He lay on the bed and moved his blood energy and blood aura silently, and then he immediately perceived that almost all his martial arts had disappeared, and the insight and sensitivity to his flesh and blood were gone, completely indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

And he was sour and stiff all over. Moving his body was difficult. This was not just returning to an ordinary person's body, but even a state of serious illness.

Perceiving all this, Wu Pifu closed his eyes and continued to perceive the changes in the mental aspect.

The sea of consciousness disappeared. When he closed his eyes, he was just like an ordinary person, with only darkness in front of him, no sleeping spiritual light, no sea of consciousness.

When Wu Pifu opened his eyes again, he knew that almost all the extraordinary powers in his body had disappeared, along with the physical fitness brought by national martial arts and human immortal martial arts, all returning to their original state.

The reason why it was "almost all" was that three things remained.

First is...

"Superbrain Heaven and Earth!"

Wu Pifu closed his eyes and opened them. Everything in front of him immediately turned black and white, and everything stopped. And the scene in front of him was collapsing rapidly, but it was only for an instant, and his Superbrain Heaven and Earth disappeared. Although he could still enter, Wu Pifu didn't enter the Superbrain Heaven and Earth a second time.

Just when his Superbrain Heaven and Earth unfolded, he vaguely heard a sound, but it didn't look like a sound, but more like a signal, a symbol, a piece of information, which seemed to express emotions like "eh", but it was full of distortion and impurities, and he couldn't hear it clearly at all.

Then his Superbrain Heaven and Earth was suppressed by a strange sense, similar to the feeling of "anti" Superbrain Heaven and Earth, or "negative" Superbrain Heaven and Earth. He couldn't describe it clearly either, and could only summarize it roughly. In short, a certain opposite negative of his Superbrain Heaven and Earth suppressed the effect and duration of his Superbrain Heaven and Earth.

This was the first extraordinary power he retained.

The second is the title.

Wu Pifu could perceive that his Pifu title, Kui Ye title, and Louis XVI title all maintained their effects, but he couldn't perceive and describe them. At the same time, there was a vaguely existing title that had no effect yet, which was the World Savior title.

The third power was relatively exaggerated...

"Heart's negative backlash rate 10%!"

Wu Pifu's eyes were suddenly blood-red, and then in this state, everything around him began to dissolve and distort gradually.

The quilt he covered was flesh and blood, the hospital bed he lay on was a fat drive worm, the mother in front of him turned into the symbol of "mother", and the bright sun outside the window turned into a pale, indescribable light body...

Still only for an instant, Wu Pifu closed the heart's negative backlash.

Because even if he only turned on the backlash rate of 10% just now, this degree of backlash rate should normally be bearable by himself, but at that moment, he felt that the Golden Body Arhat and the world that replaced him to bear the heart's negative backlash were consumed by a trace, the degree of which was simply about the same as the consumption degree of his heart's negative backlash rate of more than 50%.

A huge negative was affecting the total negative of his consciousness sea. Even if he only turned on a little personal heart's negative backlash, it would lead to the runaway of his consciousness sea's negative.

This was the only three powers he had now, but it also proved that everything in front of him was false, and he was trapped in some kind of mental phantom.

"... Dragging me into a phantom, and it can also suppress my Superbrain, affecting the total negative of my consciousness sea..."

Wu Pifu's heart became heavier and heavier. Combining these pieces of information, he had roughly guessed who... or what the enemy he encountered was.

"The Final Producer!"

Wu Pifu learned about the existence of the Final Producer from Liang Min. This was the first explicit Superbrain recorded by humans, and it was likely the strongest known special Superbrain, perhaps even stronger than Chu Minghao's current invincibility. And its special field might be at the mental and soul level.

All of this fit his current situation.

So he suspected that he was now in a situation similar to a brain in a vat, and everything in front of him was an illusion.

Only the ability of the same Superbrain could see through the illusion of this brain in a vat for a short time, as well as the title, this kind of transcendent power that did not exist when the Final Producer was alive was not affected. At the same time, the level of his heart's negative backlash was too high, so much so that even the brain in a vat could not cover or simulate it.

Just when Wu Pifu was lost in thought, his mother woke up slowly, and then looking at him opening his eyes wide and being in a daze, his mother also fell into a daze, and then immediately jumped up to hug him, but was afraid of touching the wires and IVs all over his body, so she could only carefully touch his face and arms, crying while muttering, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up..."

Wu Pifu felt a throb in his heart and looked at his mother. Then his mother jumped up and ran out of the ward, shouting while running, "Doctor! Nurse! My son woke up! My son woke up!!"

Wu Pifu closed his eyes slightly. On the one hand, his flesh and blood were very tired and weak, and on the other hand... he didn't want to see this scene.

He was not the original Wu Pifu. The "Wu Pifu" at the very beginning had long since been annihilated in the countless iterations of personality, but he was indeed Wu Pifu, with Wu Pifu's name, flesh and blood, partial memory, and "self" as Wu Pifu, so he was also Wu Pifu. He remembered his father, mother, and some classmates, friends, and relatives from the 21st century...

He remembered.

At this time, his mother An Rongzhi pulled several doctors and nurses and ran into this ward.

This was a high-level ward, a single room, with a washroom, spacious and bright, obviously costing a lot of money, belonging to the kind of special privilege.

And the arrival of the doctors and nurses also made his mother An Rongzhi stop her anxious words, while the doctors checked his physical condition, looked at the data on the instrument, turned over his eyes, etc., and then these doctors were surprised, and when they tried to ask Wu Pifu words, and Wu Pifu could still speak, this surprise turned into horror. Two of them even ran out of the ward in a hurry.

An Rongzhi also found something wrong. She gave Wu Pifu a comforting look, then ran to the bedside and started a phone call: "... Son woke up, yes, woke up, no, what nonsense are you talking about!! Wu Qingxin, I tell you, if something really happens to my son, I won't be done with you!! When can you come over?"

"... I don't care, if you haven't arrived tonight, don't come back!"

After a phone call, An Rongzhi started making phone calls one after another.

Wu Pifu just lay silently on the hospital bed, letting these doctors and nurses toss him, answering words like pain, no pain, sourness, etc. from time to time.

After a lot of trouble, the doctors and nurses took his mother away from the ward, but two little nurses were left in the ward to guard him. He didn't have any other actions, just looked out the window with his eyes.

(... Is this really a false fantasy?)

!

Wu Pifu was a bit unsure. Although he lost almost all his extraordinary powers and various mental abilities, some hidden intuition still existed. This intuition told him that everything in front of him was real, not false!

(But if it is a complete version of the brain in a vat, like the goal of the Final Producer described by Liang Min, accommodating all humans and the entire human civilization into his Superbrain, then even this intuition might be false, and even my current thoughts might be set by him.)

Wu Pifu remained silent, watching the two little nurses busy, recording the data on the instrument, and he suddenly asked, "What year, month, and day is it today?"

The two little nurses were stunned for a moment, and the nurse who was closer to him said, "Mr. Wu, today is May 6, 2026."

Wu Pifu nodded slightly, and just the action of nodding made the two little nurses' eyes shine.

It was definitely not a bloody incident of falling in love with him, but as a patient in the late stage of ALS who was about to die, he could actually speak and nod, which itself was an incredible medical miracle.

May 11, 2026, in normal history, Wu Pifu would begin the first procedure of cryosleep, and then in the next two days, he would perform all cryosleep procedures, and then be placed in a cryosleep pod until the 29th century, 2877, after the end of the Fourth War, to be thawed and repaired.

His memory was incomplete, but he also remembered roughly that in early May 2026, he had had multiple cardiac arrests, and his whole person had completely lost his ability to maintain life. For example, now, there was an airway assisting his breathing on his mouth, and at the same time, there were multiple life-sustaining tools on his body, including heart, blood, etc.

His ALS had paralyzed all the muscles in his body, including respiratory muscles, heart muscles, etc. It could be said that according to the body of a normal person, he could actually be considered dead.

However, his parents had some money, so he lived in this special ward and used all the instruments that could maintain his life. At the same time, his parents made up their minds, his mother accompanied him, and his father began to contact the most famous cryosleep company in the world, taking the future as an opportunity to freeze him to the future to resurrect.

May 6, 2026, at this time, let alone speaking, he didn't wake up in his memory at all, until May 11, when the cryosleep procedure began and his blood was replaced with antifreeze, he was forcibly awakened for a while with various hormones and drugs, and after saying goodbye to his parents, he opened his eyes again in 2877.

So... no wonder these doctors and nurses were so surprised and even horrified.

A person who was physically impossible to wake up, not only woke up, but his eyelids opened on his own, and he could actually speak!?

This degree of incredibility was only slightly worse than the resurrection of the dead. These doctors probably never thought that such a medical miracle would happen in their lives.

But...

Everything here is false!

Wu Pifu closed his eyes silently, his face expressionless, silent, and hard-hearted...

But in his heart, he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

At this time, a voice sounded in his ear. I don't know when, his mother An Rongzhi sat beside him. That originally beautiful face looked thin and haggard, but at this moment, light seemed to be shining on that face.

She gently touched Wu Pifu's hair and face, and said softly and gently, "Don't cry, Mom and Dad are here..."

"Don't cry."
