Chapter 241: Schrödinger's Spatial Cryptic-Speech

~8 min read 1,440 words

In Space B.

Diwu Zeyi gazed at the black shadow running further and further away, and withdrew his gaze.

Returning to the middle of the track again, he saw Chen Ran still slowly smoking his Cigarette.

'This Chen Ran abolished Gao Sheng's opportunity to Judge himself.'

'But in my memory, Chen Ran didn't abolish Gao Sheng Judging himself.'

'Therefore, it can be concluded that he and I are not players from the same space.'

'But, whether this Chen Ran and the Gao Sheng who just escaped are players from the same space is hard to judge.'

'Moreover, Gao Sheng had a lie tricked out by me, and also provided a lie for Chen Ran.'

'Even if one lie was abolished by this Chen Ran, there is still the second lie.'

Thinking up to this point, Diwu Zeyi sat about half a meter from Chen Ran and asked: "When you entered The Tunnel, did you hear a gunshot?"

"Before I answer this question of yours, first answer my question. If encountering Spatial Decryption, how is lie-judging done? If a Deceiver's Tongue is automatically generated, and players from different spaces are in the same space, whose Deceiver's Tongue is the standard? When they speak the memories from their respective spaces, did they all lie, or did none of them lie?"

Looking from a god's-eye perspective, this Chen Ran is indeed very meticulous. The Chen Ran in Space A only asked the question of the Deceiver's Tongue generation.

And this Chen Ran actually asked who the subject of the Deceiver's Tongue is?

One must know, the previously artificially manufactured Deceiver's Tongues had the Deceiver's Tongue manufacturer as the subject.

Simply put.

The old man in The Small Hotel. When they came to The Small Hotel, seeing the old man sitting at the counter, they considered the old man to be the boss.

The Deceiver's Tongue revolved around the old man's identity.

The old man was the subject of the Deceiver's Tongue.

But, Spatial Decryption automatically generates a Deceiver's Tongue and has no subject, or rather every player is the subject, and Deceiver's Tongues revolve around every player's identity to exist.

In other words, what everyone says has the possibility of becoming a Deceiver's Tongue. Then whose Deceiver's Tongue should be used to conduct lie-judging?

...

Hearing this, Diwu Zeyi's pupils abruptly shrank. Looking at the indifferent Chen Ran, he had the illusion of gazing at a venomous snake.

'A butterfly flapping its wings might lead to a tsunami occurring on the other side of the ocean.'

'The three spaces, although the experiences are mostly the same, differences in details could shape different characters.'

"Reminding you a bit, I have already stepped half a foot into Heart Cultivation, so don't use the rhetoric for deceiving Newbies to deceive me."

Diwu Zeyi: "..."

'Heart Cultivation is summarized by people. This Chen Ran is so perverted, being able to step half a foot into Heart Cultivation under the premise of having no Mental Cultivation Method, it can also be understood. But...'

'Also so arrogant!'

Diwu Zeyi organized his language and said: "For Spatial Cryptic-Speech, the subject is all players. Supposing this decryption involves Spatial Cryptic-Speech, I can tell you the matters that happened in the space I was in, and you can also tell me the matters that happened in the space you were in. Even if there are discrepancies in what we say, it will not be judged as a lie. However..."

"It is relatively difficult to perceive when a Spatial Cryptic-Speech is broken. Therefore I do not suggest we narrate our respective experiences at the station or in this Instance, it's easy for problems to occur."

Hearing this, Chen Ran was stunned: "In other words, we must constantly maintain the superimposed state of the Deceiver's Tongue existing and being broken, just like..."

"Schrödinger's Cat?"

Diwu Zeyi gave a thumbs up: "Summarized well..."

Suddenly he saw that Chen Ran was playing with the Lighter he had left him previously.

'This guy, he couldn't have deduced this Spatial Decryption from the very beginning, right?'

'Deliberately asking me for the Lighter. If I am transmitted away, the Lighter I gave him should also be transmitted away.'

'This guy!'

"When I entered The Tunnel, I heard a gunshot. Highly likely it's the gunshot of Diwu Zeyi Judging Gao Sheng. In other words, Gao Sheng is very likely already dead."

The Gao Sheng he spoke of was the corpse in the space he was in, which was Space A.

Saying so, Chen Ran tossed an empty Lighter to Diwu Zeyi.

"Let's go, exit The Tunnel. Let's each think of a time, and sequentially re-enter The Tunnel." Chen Ran proposed.

Diwu Zeyi nodded. Since it's three parallel spaces, then the thoughts of the three Chen Rans and Diwu Zeyis are roughly the same.

The times they could think of would also coincidentally be identical.

Simply put.

The Chen Rans and Diwu Zeyis of the three spaces all stand at the entrance to The Tunnel. If the three Diwu Zeyis enter The Tunnel first, then the Lighter Chen Ran left on Diwu Zeyi's person will drop, proving this Tunnel involves Spatial Decryption.

By the same logic, the three transmitted Diwu Zeyis discovering that the Lighter Chen Ran left wasn't transmitted over together, they would also prove this Tunnel involves Spatial Decryption.

The Spatial Cryptic-Speech is broken.

Immediately following, by the Chen Rans in the three spaces simultaneously entering The Tunnel according to the thought-of time. Doing it like this...

The Chen Ran and Diwu Zeyi within each space will all undergo spatial transmission, and then just deduce which space they themselves belong to.

...

The time Diwu Zeyi thought of was:

Two and a half minutes.

The time Chen Ran thought of was:

Eight minutes.

One had to say, these two people were indeed sometimes very abstract. However...

Chen Ran seemed somewhat more abstract.

As for Gao Sheng, they didn't care. After all, according to their deduction, the Gao Sheng in this space was not the Gao Sheng from their space. They had no obligation to remind him.

...

At the entrance to The Tunnel, Diwu Zeyi pinched the time and took the lead to re-enter The Tunnel.

Clang, the Lighter dropped.

Diwu Zeyi's figure first disappeared and then reappeared.

Seeing this, Chen Ran realized that this Diwu Zeyi was already not the Diwu Zeyi from just now, and the Deceiver's Tongue had already been broken.

However, to be safe, he still checked his own pocket, discovering the Lighter Diwu Zeyi gave him had also disappeared.

Only then did he also walk into The Tunnel. His figure disappeared, but very quickly reappeared.

...

Looking from a god's-eye perspective.

Three spaces.

Diwu Zeyi actually didn't have any changes. It was simply because of his Heart Cultivation, discarding emotions. The degree of interference from external events on his character was basically zero. Therefore his character didn't change.

The characters of the three Chen Rans seemingly were all quite different. This was the Butterfly Effect caused by the subtle differences in experiences across the three parallel spaces.

The Chen Ran in Space A: Had no difference from the true Chen Ran.

The Chen Ran in Space B: Was a bit more formidable than the true Chen Ran, and much more arbitrary.

Then the question comes, the Chen Ran in Space C, what kind of character is he again?

When the true Chen Ran was transmitted, appearing in The Tunnel once again.

Heavy fog still filled the air. He felt his own trouser pocket. Previously, he and Diwu Zeyi had both left a Lighter on each other's person.

When Diwu Zeyi was transmitted, the Lighter dropped onto the ground. Chen Ran didn't pick it up, directly walking into The Tunnel.

And now, the Lighter he didn't go pick up actually appeared in his trouser pocket.

Letting him confirm, he himself had also been transmitted to another space.

After all, if it was still Space A, the Lighter should still be on the ground, and not in his pocket.

However...

When he walked for a few minutes, he once again saw two black shadows not far away.

One sitting, one lying down.

'When I was in Space A, I saw two black shadows on the right side of The Tunnel, one sitting and one lying down.'

'In this unknown space right now, I see two black shadows on the left side of The Tunnel, one sitting and one lying down.'

'If it weren't for me being able to confirm I was transmitted to another space, otherwise seeing this scene I would still think I wasn't transmitted.'
