Chapter 256

Taishan Observation Station.

In the small space surrounded by four guns, Liu's behavior can be called leisurely. He looked at Liu Jiayi: "Then you hijacked the replicant Tang Erda and chose to come to Taishan Station to meet us. rendezvous, but it is not clear whether we are monsters, so we decided to strike first?"

‌Liu leaned back on the back of the chair, opened his eyelids, and smiled lightly: "Now you have controlled us, and then? How do you decide to distinguish whether we are monsters or your real teammates?"

Liu Jiayi's lips were pursed into a thin straight line, she twisted and clenched the gun in her hand, and Liu took off the gloves that were too big for her.

But these gloves now have no residual body temperature, and her fingertips are numb from the cold.

"I have a way to distinguish you from the monster." Liu Jiayi breathed out a burst of black mist.

The little girl's gray eyes shot at Liu Liu's cheeks through the hazy goggles, and there was a compelling chilling feeling, but when Liu Liu's calm eyes met her, the coldness was also felt. Do not soften voluntarily.

She can't seem to come up with that cruel method, even though she has used it successfully twice.

So Liu kindly explained it for him: "Monsters have weaknesses, and you can use this weakness to distinguish us from them. When you were at the Edmond Observatory, you used Fuel and poison burned [Mu Sicheng] to death, and after confirming that this is their weakness, they quickly hijacked [Tang Erda] with the same formula."

"[Tang Er Da] is a monster who is afraid of these things, so it was hijacked as you wished." ‌Liu raised his eyes and looked directly at Liu Jiayi, "But [‌Liu], I guess it's not because It's cunning and that's why it was let go?"

As Liu pushed, he held Liu Jiayi's muzzle with his gloved hand, held it with his heart, and stood up slowly.

He forced her back a few steps condescendingly, and then looked down at her with pity: "Jiayi, you can't do anything to [‌Liu]."

Liu Jiayi had no way to use such a cruel method to test the authenticity of the willow, so she let go of the willow [Willow]—even though she knew that it was 99% possible. ‌【‌Liu】are all monsters.

But what if it's not?

She didn't want to kill him, she still used this method.

Mu Ke is even more useless, for any monster with a willow face, if this guy can cut the opponent's skin with a knife, he will cry first.

Liu Jiayi's lips were blue, she raised her head and looked at Liu Liu for more than ten seconds, took a deep breath, put away the gun, and took out the poison: "Yes, you did the same to me last time." Yeah, so fuck off, I've identified two more people."

"There is no need to test, we are all real." Liu Liu smiled, "I'm sure I am real Liu Jiayi, so you are also real Liu Jiayi."

Liu Jiayi raised her head in amazement: "How did you recognize it?!"

‌Liu patted her head: "This is a controlled and controlled experiment. We have already heard the observation station version."

Liu Jiayi frowned: "What experiment?"

Liu Liu went over the experiments done by the monster Fang Xiaoxiao and the others, and then smiled with great interest:

"Don't you think it's very similar to our current situation? It's a team of people who are familiar with each other, one of them parted ways, and then turned back halfway, the other stayed where it was and waited for rescue, and then the two parties recognized each other whether they were human beings or not. experiment of?"

Seeing Liu like this, Mu Sicheng touched his chin, put down his gun and thought deeply, "...it seems to be."

Immediately, he was startled, as if reacting abruptly, and retorted loudly: "No, according to this experiment, there should be some people on our side who are real and some people who are fake!"

"No, no, no." Liu pressed down the vigilant Mu Sicheng again raised the gun aimed at Liu Jiayi's forehead, and explained with a smile, "This time, it's an experiment where one side is all real and the other side is all fake."

Mu Sicheng was confused: "Why?!"

Liu Jiayi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, she put away the poison first, and muttered in a low voice: "Stupid, are you still a college student?"

Mu Ke also put down his gun, rested his head on the upper bunk and let out a long sigh tiredly, his hands slumped down, turned his head and explained to Mu Sicheng:

"If, as Liu said, this is a social experiment with low repeatability, then it is common sense that the experiment that has been done will not be carried out a second time, because they have already obtained Fang Xiaoxiao's The experimental results in this case, then the situation of Fang Xiaoxiao and the others will not reappear on us a second time, and we can serve another experimental purpose."

Liu Liu raised his finger, and his smile deepened: "To put it simply, we are the control group of Fang Xiaoxiao's experiment. According to this reasoning, we can then conclude——because We are real, so Muke and the others who came to look for us must also be real.”

Mu Sicheng's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and his eyes circled: "...what is this and what is it, why can you directly introduce this conclusion..."

Liu Jiayi squinted her eyes, gave Mu Sicheng a look of [I can't be saved] speechlessly, turned around and yawned, opened the lower bunk, took off the blood-stained white clothes, and curled up on the lower bunk wearily. In a ball, he yelled "I fell asleep".

After groping, Liu Jiayi closed her eyes, curled her hands into a ball, and tightly clenched the pair of gloves on her hand, as if she had finally found a cub that belonged to her right nest, breathing evenly and soon fell asleep.

Mu Ke half stood in front of the bed, lowered his voice, and explained: "Jiayi used poison to deal with monsters all the way here, and although she has physical recovery potions, she is a child after all, and she is still mentally exhausted. "

Tang Er glanced at the blood splattered all over Mu Ke's body, as well as the exhausted and weathered expression on this man's face, and realized that this man was reading and processing memory materials, and then forcibly took Liu Jiayi from a It also took a lot of energy to fight out of a pile of monsters.

"Take a rest too." Tang Er opened his mouth to comfort.

Mu Ke nodded, turned around and took off his clothes reservedly, climbed onto the upper bunk and adjusted the corners of the quilt, but fell asleep within a minute after lying down, and his hands drooped from the side of the bed.

Tang Er sighed, stepped forward and squeezed Mu Ke's hand: "It seems that they really went through a fierce battle to deliver the letter to us, it's hard for them."

Mu Sicheng scratched his head and circled around Liu Liu, pointed at the two people on the bed and asked in a low voice: "How on earth are you sure that these two guys are not monsters?!"

It was not burned, and it was not poured with strong acid. The only weakness that can distinguish players from monsters is useless at all, but it can be determined after a quick glance.

‌Liu smiled: "Are you really curious?"

Mu Sicheng nodded wildly.

Liu Liu took out a piece of paper and a pen, put them on a small desk in the middle of the dormitory, bowed his body and began to explain to Mu Sicheng: "Do you still remember the experiment that Fang Xiaoxiao told you before?" Bar?"

"Remember." Mu Sicheng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms as soon as he remembered the experiment, "It was their team that made several people escape from the ice crevasse at Taishan Station. Then these few people turned back to save them, but they actually encountered fake ones, and one of them didn’t recognize them.”

Liu Liu lowered his eyes: "What do you think the purpose of this experiment is?"

Mu Sicheng was taken aback for a moment, then racked his brains to think, and tentatively gave an answer: "It should be... Investigate how humans in the same community can distinguish between monsters and humans in extreme environments? "

He remembered that Fang Xiaoxiao was with him here.

"That is to say, this is an experiment to explore the discrimination between the same kind and the different kind by human beings in a group." Liu wrote down [a1], [a2], [b1], [b2] on the paper 】Four ‌ affixed letters, and then continue to write.

"Suppose we are monsters, a is a group of humans, a1 and a2 are two teams of people in a group that we forcibly separated, b is a group of monsters, [b1] and [b2] are simulated by monsters [a1] ],【a2】The mirror images of these two dispersed groups are mixed into the creatures."

‌Liu listed the four letters in a 2x2 table: "Then according to the purpose of our experiment, there are four exploratory experiments conducted. A1 encounters b2, a2 ​​encounters b1, These two are the experiments conducted by Fang Xiaoxiao and the others."

"Because the human group a1 that has conducted the experiment has a memory of this discrimination experiment, and the human group a2 cannot bear the experimental results and commits suicide, we can't conduct experiments on them again, so we need some Complete the remaining two experiments with completely new human groups that have had contact with other groups."

Liu Liu slowly raised his head and looked straight at Mu Sicheng: "That is, a1 meets a2, b1 meets b2, these two are controlled experiments—this is the experiment we conducted."

"So I say, if we are real, then Muke must be real."

"Of course, judging from the current situation, the possibility that we are all fake cannot be ruled out. Now I suspect that the experiments of these monsters involve the layer of memory."

Although it was such a horrible guess, Liu's tone was unbelievably flat: "However, it is a false situation on both sides, and to me, it is no different from the truth."

Mu Sicheng took two steps back, looking at the four experiments listed by Liu on the paper with horror, he couldn't help but feel a kind of cold seeping from his bones.

This kind of coldness is even colder than they are walking in the snow at minus fifty-five degrees-it is a pure, brutal feeling of losing the emotional recognition and identity of being human. Being cold.

It seems that there is no difference between him and any creature in this world, just a pile of bones, connective tissue, and some organisms arranged in a solid order and wrapped in skin, no one exists higher than himself Things are playing around.

Just like human beings do to other creatures, life is deprived of value and purely materialized into meaningless symbols on paper—a1, a2, b1, b2.

Mu Sicheng's lips were trembling, he was in a state of anxiety, and looked at Liu Liu helplessly: "If we are fake, then what should we do?"

‌Liu looked at him calmly: "Of course it is to kill the real one and replace it."
