Lin Yi perked up his ears imdiately.
“Still considering the problem from a cognitive perspective,” Tian Bufan cautioned, then continued slowly, “Imagine a pitch-black, shiny tile, and we are a group of people wearing ski goggles, walking with our necks stiffened, heads bowed down on this tile.”
“This tile is both smooth and transparent, so transparent that it clearly reflects our shadows.”
“The vision afforded by the ski goggles is limited, and our vision encompasses only the small area in front of us.”
“So, in fact, we have always been looking at the limited shadows moving about in the tile…
What we consider the world is just what our minds have conceived based on this extrely limited view, but in reality, it is not like that at all…”
“We are in the real world, but what we see are false reflections, and that blue Pocket Chef is actually in the real world, just that its shadow cannot appear in our limited vision, can it?”
“One day…
we learn to shake our heads to widen our vision, and then we see more of the world, thereby adding more details to our cognition of ‘the real world’…”
“And as our vision widens, we see the blue Pocket Chef, and the blue Pocket Chef also notices us because of our shaking movents…”
“It’s possible that the blue Pocket Chef has always been standing by our side, just that…
we haven’t yet t the conditions to trigger more of its chanisms.”
Lin Yi’s mind buzzed suddenly: “Like ‘The Matrix’?
Real and fake worlds?
If we discover the world is fake, will we be attacked by so-called enforcers of order in this world?
Sculptures?”
With Tian Bufan saying this, Lin Yi suddenly thought of many things.
“That’s not what I an,” Tian Bufan said with a resigned smile, shaking his head, “It’s just a hypothetical analogy that ca from that, if S University is fake, then what about our previous world?
We certainly aren’t the ‘natives’ here!”
Lin Yi was enlightened: “Right, right, right, we ca here on a blue school bus…”
“So just listen and don’t think too much, like I just said, it’s just a ‘kind of interesting’ hypothesis I extended from that,” Tian Bufan said, “The more we hypothesize about this world, the more our cognition diverges, and when we really encounter bizarre discoveries, we won’t be frightened into seeing bizarre phantom visions…”
“It’s like indirectly strengthening our resistance when our cognition is distorted.”
Lin Yi took a deep breath and nodded: “You make sense, I’ve noted that down.”
…
The year X023, May 8th, 11:49 AM.
The group made their way back to the front of the Teaching Building along the cobblestone path.
Tian Bufan said goodbye and took a fork in the road toward Building C of the Teaching Building, while the rest continued toward Building B.
Li Huiyuan had been listening to Lin Yi and Tian Bufan’s conversation, hearing terms like “Glass Plank Walkway” and “imagine the reflection on the tiles”, then “The Real World” and “Broaden Horizons”, terms so bewildering that she felt lost in the clouds.
It was like soone who had never played video gas suddenly hearing two gars discussing things like “131 split carry” and “41 split push” in context of ga strategies, feeling the gap generationally…
She followed behind Lin Yi and the others, head lowered, instinctively, while in her mind, she couldn’t help but worry about the Student ID card matter, speculating about how to approach the class teacher and what the class teacher might do…
Even though she was prepared to be used by Lin Yi as “cannon fodder”, she still felt incredibly nervous and panicked inside because “cannon fodder” was certainly not a nice term.
As she thought more about it, the fear grew, and she felt increasingly cold, as though she was locked in an ice cellar, despite walking under the sun.
It’s so cold…
Li Huiyuan absent-mindedly stroked her arms and suddenly noticed that a fine layer of frost had ford on her arms, feeling icy to the touch.
Despite the blazing sun, how could it feel so cold?
A peculiar feeling arose in her heart, and that was when she noticed the light around her seed a bit dim…
Had it gotten dark?
She looked up at the sky.
The clear sky was abruptly filled with thick clouds, the gaze obscured by the cloud layer, leaving only dim light and shadows to float between heaven and earth, the entire world losing its color as though dust filled the air like a sandstorm…
Deep within the thick clouds, the sun seed to be reduced to just an outline…
A cold breeze suddenly brushed by her ear, causing her to shiver instinctively.
“Whoosh—”
In the wind, there seed to be a sound of rustling tree leaves, rushing like the waves.
Waves…?
She paused montarily, a flash of inspiration hit, and the sound of the colliding leaves grew louder, as if the volu on a speaker had been turned up, becoming as intense as the roaring sea…
She felt the cobblestone path under her feet seed to have changed, appearing pitch black and smooth, like rocks and so kind of fragnted stones by the sea…
