Chapter 42: Dream of the Universe

Killing the highest ruler of a country with a population of hundreds of millions and a vast territory...

And it's not a sneak attack with firearms while parading, but breaking into the Forbidden City guarded by heavy troops. This is almost impossible.

"This is basically impossible."

Xu Shilan and Amadae said at the same time.

Amadae said: "You said you became stronger after experiencing the 'Weekend', at least more than twice as strong as before, but that's impossible. I ask you, what is the gap between you and the Transformation Grandmaster of that world?"

Wu Pifu thought for a while and said: "If I enter the controllable possession state, I should be able to fight five-to-five. After all, I haven't fought, so I don't know who will win."

Amadae roared low: "You said it yourself, you used the controllable possession state twice in the 'Weekend', and your mental negative backlash rate increased by one percent, right? You continue to use it, the faster you die!"

Wu Pifu shook his head slightly. At this time, Xu Shilan also said: "Even if you use the controllable possession state and can rival a Hua Jin Grandmaster, can you fight two alone? Can you rival a thousand soldiers alone? Can you use your physical body to charge the line-infantry soldiers who have lined up? Can you use your physical body to resist cannons?"

Wu Pifu shook his head frankly: "Can't do it."

Xu Shilan spread her hands and said: "Then why do you go to kill the highest ruler of the Qing Dynasty?"

Wu Pifu said: "Because she will run over to let me kill her."

Amadae and Xu Shilan were stunned. Wu Pifu said: "Because it is a baseline reality zero point nine world, as long as I don't interfere with various historical trends on a large scale, in fact, I can't interfere with historical trends in such a short time, then the highest ruler of the Qing Dynasty will come to the vicinity of the Peace Hotel four months later, and it is in the posture of fleeing. I don't know the number of her entourage, but it shouldn't be more than a thousand, and most of them are palace maids and eunuchs. That is the best time to kill her!"

Amadae and Xu Shilan fell into deep thought again. Amadae said while thinking: "If there is a four-month buffer period, then I should be able to manufacture a simplified version of high-gauss weapons. Long-range sniping should be possible."

Xu Shilan also said: "Or manufacture some high-power explosives. If there are radioactive elements, I can also help manufacture some nuclear-like weapons. If used for ambush, a team of about a thousand people should be able to handle it."

Wu Pifu had a full forehead of black lines. He looked at the two teammates for a long time, and then shook his head.

What kind of people are they? No wonder they are maintainers, consumables, pure super terrorists!

Uh, I am also a maintainer, a consumable... then it's fine.

Wu Pifu said: "Can consider, anyway, there are about four months, we will plan slowly."

Both nodded. Amadae asked: "Then are you planning to return to the Peace Hotel dream world? Now?"

Wu Pifu thought for a while and said: "The time I agreed with Lin Heier is tomorrow. I am also extremely tired today. I will sleep in Gaia, rest well, and then go to the Peace Hotel dream world tomorrow, and then spend seven days there to complete this thirty-day seven-day garrison task. After that... I guess I must go to the Buddha Mud Yaksha dream world of the Song Dynasty. You..."

Amadae laughed and patted his chest: "Isn't that together? After all, without you as the main force, even if we go to the baseline reality zero point nine world, it is dangerous. It is better to mix with you."

Xu Shilan also nodded with a smile.

Wu Pifu felt a heat in his heart, lowered his head slightly and said: "That's fine... go to the Peace Hotel dream world first, then go to the Buddha Mud Yaksha dream world of the Song Dynasty, complete the thirty-day garrison task of the Buddha Mud Yaksha dream world, and after that... I will take you to establish your shelter!"

The three of them relaxed at this moment.

Although Amadae and Xu Shilan were in danger, one was a veteran of the Third War, licking blood from the knife edge was not enough to describe, and the other didn't know what experience she had, but from her self-proclaimed revenge for her younger brother and being published by the Main Brain for so many terrorist crimes, she wanted to come to her heart and was also a person who didn't want to die.

At this time, although the three were not completely safe, and even the food problem had not been solved, at least there was a medical base and more than two thousand six hundred carbon-based nano units, so they didn't have to worry about saving their lives in the short term. And the road had to be walked step by step. The three of them were a bit relaxed at this time.

Wu Pifu distributed the remaining steamed buns to the other two. They ate the buns, drank some water, and then used the debris cloth in the maintenance base to make three nests, each lying down, and chatted for a while. Amadae yawned first.

Xu Shilan suddenly said at this time: "Do you say, will this Gaia now actually be a virtual scene in the dream network?"

Amadae opened his eyes from the squinting state, and Wu Pifu was the same. After a while, Wu Pifu shook his head: "Brain in a vat, someone proposed it in the twentieth century. The key is that we can't verify it, right?"

Xu Shilan said with a wry smile: "Yes, we can't verify it..."

Amadae suddenly asked: "If this is really a virtual reality, a virtual scene of the dream network, what is the reason for the Human Unified Government to do this? There must be a reason."

Xu Shilan reached out and said: "A social experiment? A simulation of the human mental limit? Or an exploration of the afterlife? Or something else? You may not know, but I know too well. The thirteen singularity technology groups can do such things, and although the Human Unified Government is not completely controlled by the thirteen singularity technology groups, these thirteen groups also occupy a large share of it. Those completely insane experiments, they have done a lot..."

Wu Pifu didn't speak, because those web novels in his memory, those science fiction novels, those manga movies, described many insane future groups. Although these were literary works, art comes from reality, and reality is often more exaggerated. He didn't doubt what Xu Shilan said.

Amadae was really puzzled. He was born and grew up in the middle and late period of the Third War, a period when humans united to fight against biochemical beasts. He couldn't understand how such things were born. He thought for a while and said: "I have always heard you talk about the thirteen singularity technology groups. I know what singularity technology is, that is, the so-called beyond imagination, beyond the theoretical limit. Then these thirteen singularity technology groups, what insane experiments have they done?"

Xu Shilan smiled, the smile was even a bit gloomy and terrifying. She used a tone that made Wu Pifu and Amadae feel a bit cold and shivering: "I won't say much about others. Let's talk about one that I witnessed, and even considered half-participated... the afterlife return experiment."

"Afterlife... return?" Wu Pifu and Amadae repeated the name.

Xu Shilan continued to use this tone: "It is not a change or transfer of consciousness, let alone soul leaving the body, but a real annihilation, soul flying and soul scattering, a thorough and absolute extinction, an absolute annihilation from the quantum level. Then, using a very terrible, very terrifying non-Taoist means, sending tens of millions of lives into the afterlife in this absolute annihilation way, and then using their clones, simulated personalities, and simulated consciousness to try to achieve some kind of quantum entanglement influence, to confirm the experiment of afterlife information..."

Xu Shilan stopped talking, and the two men didn't speak. After a long time, Wu Pifu asked: "Did it succeed?"

"I don't know."

Xu Shilan shook her head: "This experiment was expected to last for three hundred years. But when it was halfway through, the Fourth War broke out, and I was removed from the list of insiders of the experiment. After that, I started to take revenge for my younger brother."

Wu Pifu and Amadae truly knew the madness of these thirteen singularity technology groups, and also knew why the Fourth War broke out.

Wu Pifu asked: "So, is the Human Revolution Alliance righteous?"

Xu Shilan laughed mockingly: "If it is righteous, then how did the Earth disappear? How did the solar system become a source of chaos, and even we had to carry out this interstellar long journey? It's just half a catty with the Human Unified Government."

The three of them were silent. Amadae suddenly asked: "So... are we really in the dream network now? Have we become experimental subjects?"

Xu Shilan shook her head and didn't speak.

Wu Pifu said decisively: "I don't know, but I won't try. My parents froze me and sent me to the future, not to let me struggle in this philosophical field of whether it is true or not, and then use my own life to test it, but hope that I can live. Living is hope, so I won't think about whether reality is illusory, nor will I think about how to prove whether this place is true or false. I only know..."

"If you are hungry, you have to eat, if you are tired, you have to sleep, if you are an enemy, you have to fight, if you are a partner, you have to protect... it's that simple!"

Amadae and Xu Shilan listened quietly, and neither of them spoke.

I don't know how long it was, Amadae's snoring came, he actually fell asleep.

Wu Pifu was also ready to sleep. At this time, Xu Shilan suddenly said: "It's really good, living is really pure..."

Wu Pifu was silent for a while and said: "Sleep, we will enter the Peace Hotel dream world tomorrow."

After another minute or two, Xu Shilan suddenly said softly: "Perhaps it is not that we are in virtual reality, nor is it that the remnants of the thirteen singularity technology companies are engaged in any large-scale social experiment, here..."

"Perhaps we are experiencing the dream of the universe."

Dream of the universe... is it?

Wu Pifu gradually entered the dreamland.

Xu Rongyu was posing under the guidance of Lin Heier. Although he was limping now, he was trying to straighten his back and cherish this rare opportunity.

Suddenly, a flash appeared in front of Xu Rongyu and Lin Heier. Wu Pifu, Amadae, Xu Shilan, and a bird appeared in front of them, coming directly out of thin air.

Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu were stunned for a moment, and then smiles appeared on their faces.

Wu Pifu looked at the two, and then at the ruins of the righteous village that had been cleaned up. He held his fist solemnly and said to the two: "The two are indeed trustworthy people. Today is the third day... see you!"

Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu looked at each other, Lin Heier naturally held her fist in return, and Xu Rongyu also respectfully held his fist to Wu Pifu.

"See you!"

The sky was at noon, the sun was bright, and everyone had a sincere smile on their faces.
