[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 152 [English]

Chapter 152 The key┃If it doesn’t work, let’s just tie him up.

“Boss——” 922 shouted.

he woke up in a hurry this time because he had something to say to Qin Jiu.

“You still call me boss?” Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows.

922 scratched his head and said with a smile: “If you get used to it, just call it like this.”

After saying that, he stopped smiling and his face became serious: “Boss, I just dreamed about the past again, so I am here to remind you, be careful of the old man in the punishment passage of the Twin Towers.”

Youhuo he and the three of them were stunned, looked at each other and said, “We were just talking about he.”

922 asked in surprise: “Have you also discovered the problem with he?”

“Yes, but before you woke up, we just crossed him off the list of suspects.” After 154 finished speaking, he quickly explained what had just happened, including the various doubts listed by he and Wu Li’s denial.

922 shook his head and said: “He should not be the person Dr. Wu has met, if he has met Dr. Wu in recent years.”

Youhuo was recalling when Wu Li met the leader of the research team, when 922 made a shocking statement: “Because that old man died many years ago.”

These words were like a thunder to the ground.

The corridor fell into dead silence, and the three people listening had disbelief in their eyes.

922 said: “This may sound a bit panicky, but the fact is that he is a person who has died long ago.”

Youhuo frowned tightly: “Who is it?”

“System designer.” 922 paused and emphasized: “One.”

Everyone was even more confused.

“One?” Qin Jiu repeated these words.

“Yes, one.” 922 asked he: “Boss, don’t you remember? Didn’t we each have a copy of the information before entering the system? About the system. Didn’t it mention the design team?”

“Yes, it was mentioned. But everyone’s information is different and has different emphasis.” Qin Zhu said: “My mission is mainly on examiners A and Z, as well as the destruction of the core area. So regarding the design team, I only briefly mentioned it in my information, purely as a background introduction.”

As he spoke, he suddenly realized that the information he provided focused on the present, and the researchers listed were not comprehensive.You Huo’s mother is not among them, it should only include those who are alive.

922 reacted immediately and said: “My task is to collect information. The background of the team alone occupies three pages in the document, not including the photo of the researcher. The old man’s name is Duden Liu, who is of Chinese and German descent. According to the document, he only provided the initial design inspiration and prototype, as well as some basic parts, and then passed away in the early stages of system design, about twenty years ago. So generally speaking of the main designer, it does not refer to he. After all, heHe was only involved in a small part of the beginning, and even in the information I obtained, he was not considered the most important person.”

“But?” Qin Jiu said the twist for he.

922 solemnly said: “Yes, but. As I collected more and more information in the system, I discovered a problem. This system is not simply designed from the outside, but also from the inside.”

“Inside?”

“Yes. I was originally responsible for equipment design, so I may be more sensitive than the average person in this regard.You know that this kind of design usually has a logic in it, and different people will project different results.For example, let’s say there are two designers, one has been hungry for three days, and the other has been frozen for three days.When designing, the first thing to consider is the issue of temperature adjustment and warmth.”

922 gave a rough explanation and then continued: “I discovered at the time that this system has two design logics, and I think you must have felt it during the exam. One set of logic is a comprehensive test, targeting all aspects of the candidates. If you successfully pass the exam, you can get out of here. What about the ones that don’t go well? There are re-examinations, make-up exams, extensions, and all kinds of messy supplements.This is the most basic screening process.The problem lies in the other logic.The result of a candidate being eliminated is either death or becoming an NPC…”

He counted items one by one with his fingers, and what he said was simply the examination room experience report of Youhuo and his group.

“… Did you find out? In this set of logic, there is no concept of leaving the system at all.” 922 said in a deep voice, “When I was a candidate, I kept wondering if this system was schizophrenic? Later I realized that this was not a simple schizophrenia, but two groups of people designing together. These two groups of people have fundamentally different logics. One group is outside and the other is inside the system. The internal design logic is the latter, in heIn their logic, food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all embedded in the system, and there is no need to return to reality.”

The three people listened thoughtfully.

“No wonder.” Youhuo said.

It has long been assumed that the system behaves divisively because it sometimes has humanity and sometimes does not.But he always feels that this explanation is not enough to cover everything, and there are other things that don’t make sense.

Now he has reacted – the so-called human part, which is 154, has been stripped away, but the system will still behave very divided at certain moments.

It turns out that it is not only because of the so-called “human nature”, but also because its design is divided from the source.

922 said: “After I realized this problem, my brain was still knotted for a long time. Because I couldn’t figure out why the group of designers inside the system had this kind of logic. This logic is too negative and depressing. Either die or be locked up here forever. Is this a group of psychopaths seeking revenge on society? Normal people will want to get out of the system, why don’t they?”

“I was full of complaints and cursed in my head every day. Until I accidentally stepped on a violation and was taken to the Twin Towers in the invigilation area to be punished. When I saw the old man Duden Liu, I suddenly understood – the designer inside the system is indeed not a normal person, he is a dead person.”

he is dead and exists in the system only through programming and design.When the system is there, he is there; when the system is gone, he is gone.His entire “life” from now on will be tightly tied to the system. To him, the system is the world, the world, and life.Of course he wouldn’t consider getting out of here.

Hearing this, Youhuo was able to figure everything out——

When Duden Liu was designing the system, he reserved a place for himself.He wrote his ideas, spirit, thoughts and other things into the system through programs.In this way, when he dies in reality, the “backup” in the system can survive in his place. This is probably a continuation of life for him.

Others on the design team may or may not be informed initially.

Even if you know it, you may not think it is a bad thing at first.To outsiders, Duden Liu in the system may be equivalent to an anti-virus software that can detect problems and solve them internally.

What they didn’t expect was that designing the inside and outside together would sow bitter consequences.Two different logics lead to a fundamentally conflicting system, and as long as there is a contradiction, one party will have the upper hand at a certain moment.

So one day, the internal logic took over and the system began to deviate from its original intention.

This is where the loss of control comes from.

To a certain extent, Duden Liu is both a “person” and a part of the system.

Then it all makes sense.

He “told the system” and interfered with the actions of You Huo and Qin Jiu because he did not want the system to be destroyed and he did not want himself to disappear.

In the concept of he, he is saving himself and surviving.

154 suddenly realized: “Let me just tell you, why are you two still alive after your rebellion failed? Why doesn’t the system just let you two die and let the whole thing be over?”

Qin Jiu also laughed at himself: “Just a few minutes ago, I thought it was because of your help.”

“No.” 154 shook his head and said, “I couldn’t do that at that time, and I couldn’t help you like this. It should be he, that Duden Liu. On the one hand, he wants to interfere with you and doesn’t want you to succeed, because he wants to live. On the other hand, he doesn’t want to kill people. If he was the original main designer, he might have observed you, or even watched you grow up-”

He looked at Youhuo and said: “He probably doesn’t want you to die directly, so he asked the system to remove you directly. As for the boss, you——”

154 looked at Qin Jiu again: “Both you and A are troublesome threats. You were thrown out once, but it had no effect. So I changed the method the second time and you were left behind.”

After he finished speaking, he was quiet for a moment, and then muttered: “You people… are really troublesome, each one is more complicated than the last.”

Qin Jiu stopped laughing, then slowly regained his smile: “That’s really it.”

There are very few people in this world who are born evil.No matter who did something, if you count back a few years, you can find several reasons…

But that doesn’t mean those things don’t exist.

Duden Liu may have many, many reasons, but the most fundamental one seems easy to understand – he doesn’t want to “die” or disappear.

Everything he doesn’t want to do falls on others.

He may not want to harm people, but he does harm people.

“Okay, once or twice is enough. It would be really stupid to let him interfere a third time.” Qin Zhu said to 154, “Your attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain should be over. It’s almost time for he to return to the punishment channel. Can you control him?”

Youhuo said, “If that doesn’t work, we’ll tie him up directly.”
