Chapter 738

The intelligent entity located within it is the upper-narrative narrator.

"I see..." Talloran felt a bit tired. "That is to say, I am merely a character in some work, just like the characters in the novels I've read."

"Well... feeling like I know all this, it might be better not to know... however, even if there really is an upper-narrative narrator, what does it matter if they are really watching my life? It is enough that this life of mine is real to me."

Talloran suddenly found that he couldn't lift his arm, realizing that he was nearing his end.

"Our game must continue again, then..."

【 "SCP-3999" will be contained by a melon 】

Immediately, a new cycle began...

【 "SCP-3999" 】

【 "SCP-3999" will be devoured by a Dunkleosteus. 】

【 "SCP-3999" 】

【 "SCP-3999" will be contained in a cockroach motel the size of a human. It must be under the continuous monitoring of no fewer than four O5 Council members at all times, and 】

【 "SCP-3999" 】

【 Researcher Talloran must not be contained by this object. 】

【 Researcher Talloran will launch a counterattack. 】

【 Researcher Talloran will restart "SCP-3999". 】

Hearing 3999's description, the audience was also taken aback in unison.

In their view, 3999's abilities were already unfathomable and impossible to resist.

Yet it actually said that it was merely a manifestation of a portion of the upper-narrative narrator within the lower narrative.

Could it be that this galaxy, this universe, is just a part of a story woven by an upper-narrative narrator?

"No, that shouldn't be; otherwise, how to explain the existence of the 'Tree of Knowledge' and so many supreme divinities? Could there be countless upper-narrative narrators above them?"

"Why think so much... above the upper-narrative narrator, there are more upper-narrative narrators, and below us, there are lower narratives. Just considering the nesting structure, everything is meaningless, except for the highest upper-narrative narrator... but, how can that highest upper-narrative narrator be sure there isn't an upper-narrative narrator above them?"

"If our actions are orchestrated by an upper-narrative narrator, are our choices and emotions real? Do we have autonomy? Does free will exist?"

"No, such an upper-narrative narrator does not exist in this world; my fate is determined by me, not by an upper-narrative narrator, not by the heavens!"

"There's no need for such an intense reaction. Just like various works, the author only controls the fate of a few key characters; others are just NPCs appearing as background boards."

"Even if we are under the control of an upper-narrative narrator, our feelings and experiences remain real to us; that is enough. What harm is there in treating it as a long dream?"

The audience continued to express their opinions, while on the light screen, Talloran constantly resisted 3999, and 3999 tortured Talloran with increasing cruelty.
