"No, no... My thoughts are racing too fast," Lin Sanjiu thought. Based on the information from 10,000 volts, she couldn't immediately determine that all the Pocket Dimensions were the same.
This was the most basic statistical concept: the sample size she had was not large enough. She randomly picked two Pocket Dimensions out of dozens of them and found that they were similar, but it didn't mean that every Pocket Dimension was the same. However, there was one thing that she was somewhat certain about.
The factory needed the winners of this type of Pocket Dimension.
Among all the ordinary people who came out of the Pocket Dimension, some of the winners would gain special advantages in terms of influence, credibility, etc. From the list of rules that she had compiled so far, she deduced that the special advantage they gained was the Pocket Dimension's reward, which would continue even after they left the Pocket Dimension. This was definitely within the factory's calculations.
In other words, it was precisely because the people behind the factory had a use for the winners of the Pocket Dimension that they specifically arranged for this type of Pocket Dimension. Otherwise, why would they collect these uncommon Pocket Dimensions and gather them together to create the winners?
They wanted a group of "opinion leaders", even if these "opinion leaders" were ordinary people.
"No, that's not right.
What they wanted was a group of ordinary people's "opinion leaders".
After all, with the strength of the Palace of Shadows and that old lady, it wasn't difficult for them to capture a group of posthumans and go through the same process. The "opinion leaders" of ordinary people were probably more appealing to the ordinary people. However, what use did the mastermind have for a group of ordinary people?
These ordinary people who had been temporarily tampered with would not only be inferior to ordinary posthumans in all aspects, but they would also return to their original state after a while. If they needed the help of ordinary people, couldn't they just pay them?
The more Lin Sanjiu thought about it, the deeper her frown became.
Perhaps it was her "Sharp Intuition" that was working. She had a lingering feeling that once she figured out the purpose of the mastermind behind the factory, she would know how to end the Pocket Dimension. However, even though she had pieced together many pieces of the puzzle, the core and the most crucial piece of information was still shrouded in a dense fog.
"Ah, the setting has changed again," someone called out, snapping Lin Sanjiu out of her thoughts.
When the residential area finally faded away, the hospital did not come. Instead, it was replaced by the sixth scenario, the amusement park.
Under the night sky, the amusement park was shrouded in warm yellow lampposts, but most of the roads were dark. Only the merry-go-round, bumper cars, and shooting were lit.
When they realized that there was another scene missing, the people who didn't know what was going on gathered on the platform of the merry-go-round like moths. They either stood or sat. After being on high alert for a long time, they were so tired that they couldn't even open their mouths.
It seemed like the hospital was either Guan Nan or Wen Ya's setting … Considering that Wen Ya purposely left his narration in the hospital, it was probably his home turf. Sure enough, it won him a lot of credibility.
That guy even deliberately blamed the hospital on Dr. Chen … Oh right, Dr. Chen.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She suddenly remembered that she still had something with her. She rummaged through the bag and took out a piece of paper.
"What are you looking at?" Duck Down, who had been following beside her, immediately asked.
Jiang Tian, who was sitting on the merry-go-round in a daze, also looked over when she heard the question.
Lin Sanjiu didn't answer. Instead, she read the piece of paper carefully. She even flipped it over so that she wouldn't miss any information. After she finished reading it, she pondered for a while before asking Duck Down, who was as hot as a wok, "Do you still remember the condition of Dr. Chen's death?"
Jiang Tian leaned forward. The four mouthpieces were sitting on the edge of the platform not far from them. They were split into two groups and chatting. The other three mouthpieces, who were originally scattered among the merry-go-round horses, walked closer when they heard Lin Sanjiu and Jiang Tian's conversation.
"He was sitting behind the table with his head lowered. There was a piece of paper on the table in front of him," Lin Sanjiu reminded them. "Don't you guys think that's a little weird? Like how he could still see the paper in front of him in the dark? "
Duck Down hesitated, "It's a little …"
"This is the piece of paper on his table," Lin Sanjiu shook the paper in her hand. Lin Sanjiu shook the piece of paper in her hand and said, "When I picked it up, I realized that it wasn't the recording system that Doctor Chen had written down. It was something completely different. "
"Huh?" Jiang Tian was shocked. "But we saw it …"
"That's right." At that time, Lin Sanjiu knew that everyone's eyes were on her. It was too late for her to look at the paper, but she didn't want to expose the contents of the paper to the murderer. Therefore, she took the paper to a chair in the middle of the room. As she walked, she described the contents of the paper. Not only did she describe it to everyone, but she also used the effect of her [Power of Description].
"I did something to it," Lin Sanjiu didn't explain much. She simply said, "Now that the effect has disappeared, the real information can be seen."
Unable to contain their curiosity, everyone moved closer to Jiang Tian. Among them, Jiang Tian was the fastest. She quickly scanned through the small words on the paper and couldn't help but let out an "Ah!"
"Do you guys still remember that at the beginning of the pocket dimension, you warned us not to use other methods to memorize the rules … At that time, two people immediately put something away." Lin Sanjiu looked at the small words on the paper and said, "One of them should be Dr. Chen, who had withdrawn his ability. His [Power of Recording] could still be activated in the dark. He recorded everything he saw, knew, and thought. "
Jiang Tian's face was a little pale. "I —"
Lin Sanjiu smiled at her.
"When you proposed to form an alliance with me, I already thought that your message might be a coexistence." She put the paper away calmly and said, "You don't need to find four people and form an alliance with each of them. That would be too obvious. You just need to find two people. Once two people become your mouthpieces, the mouthpieces can naturally form an alliance with the others. "
Jiang Tian bit her lower lip so hard that it turned white.
"And the second person you found was Dr. Chen," Lin Sanjiu looked at everyone.
Lin Sanjiu looked at everyone and said, "From the records on the paper … After Doctor Chen heard what she said, he immediately realized that she might be spreading a message. However, at the same time, he was inspired and suggested that everyone should work together to create a recording system.
"Do you guys remember that when we were on the beach, when Dr. Chen was explaining the recording system, he generously pointed out that he might have hidden a message in it. The reason why he was so generous was because the message wasn't his but Jiang Tian's. At that time, I found it a little strange. It was too similar to what Jiang Tian said. He even had to say it out loud to prevent everyone from turning into Jiang Tian's mouthpieces once they started the recording system …
"When there was a recording system, we couldn't form an alliance. However, I noticed that after the recording system went down, you still didn't look for me to propose an alliance. At that time, you realized that instead of proposing to form an alliance with your targets one by one, there was actually a group of better targets … They were Wen Ya and the others who were hesitant to cooperate and restart the recording system. "
Jiang Tian let out a sigh and smiled bitterly.
"They kept switching between the two narratives and were hesitant. I was anxious when I saw it. I really wanted to give them a push. I had been waiting for them to decide that once Dr. Chen died, it would be safe for us to work together. Then, I could use the opportunity to spread the message among them … When the time came, they would be the ones who proposed to restart the collaboration, so they wouldn't suspect me. "
"However, you didn't expect me to interfere." Lin Sanjiu looked at the four Believers who were listening quietly not far away and said, "Doctor Chen's recording ability is pretty good. Once it is activated, it will record all the changes in the surroundings, regardless of whether we are in the dark or not. I think this is why he chose to start recording the moment he entered the third scenario … It doesn't matter if he can't see at that time. When he looks at the recording later, he will know what happened in the dark. "
On that piece of paper, there were a few lines that described it as follows: Guan Nan yelled for him to stay away from her; Guan Nan walked quietly to the left side of the room; Guan Nan turned and walked toward me; Guan Nan reached out to me.
Unfortunately, Dr. Chen's ability could ignore the darkness, but he couldn't. Even though the lines of words appeared on the paper, he couldn't see them. He continued sitting in the dark until Guan Nan's hand touched him.
Guan Nan stood expressionlessly at the side of the wooden horse platform as if the incident had nothing to do with her.
"Even though it's my fault that I attacked you, this is how the Pocket Dimension works," Jiang Tian took a few steps back defensively. She pressed her back against a wooden horse and said, "I don't have a personal grudge against you. I just want to win … Now that you have exposed me, I can't win."
"You don't have to explain. I won't hold a grudge against you because of this." Lin Sanjiu shook her head, "I know better than you how intense the Pocket Dimension can make people fight against each other. The real culprit is the factory that arranged these Pocket Dimensions and captured ordinary people. "
Lin Sanjiu didn't know who said that Pocket Dimensions usually don't have any effect on ordinary people like us. At this moment, it appeared again and interrupted Lin Sanjiu's words.
"What's wrong?" Duck Down was very sensitive. He immediately noticed the change in Lin Sanjiu's expression. "What did you think of?"
"I'm too stupid," Lin Sanjiu mumbled, "No matter how I think about it, I ended up getting tangled up in my own thoughts … I guess this is what I call a blind eye."
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, we don't have to think about the real purpose of the person behind the factory. At least, we don't have to think about it for now. This is because we already know the most important point, "Lin Sanjiu gestured with her hand and gestured to the people around her," Their interests and their benefits are all tied to ordinary people. Ordinary people are resources that they have spent a lot of effort to capture. Their plan can only continue with the existence of ordinary people … Under this premise, why would they set up a Pocket Dimension that has a slim chance of survival and cause irreversible consequences to most ordinary people? "
If they spent so much effort to capture thousands of people just to get the "opinion leaders" in the end, the return on investment and output was too low. Moreover, they didn't have to arrange for everyone to go through the procedures of changing microorganisms, injecting injections, analyzing and recording the data of their bodies … This meant that they were not only useful to the winners but also the losers.
Judging from the effort that the factory had spent, the "opinion leaders" might be a by-product. What they really needed were ordinary people, a large number of ordinary people.
The more Lin Sanjiu thought about it, the more excited she became. She looked at the crowd and said, "I think all the Pocket Dimensions that they set up here have the same characteristic. They can guarantee the safety of the largest number of ordinary people."
Recently, something unjust happened to my family, and I can't do anything to defend myself. For the past two days, I have been in a state of anxiety and anger. My mind is in a mess … The world will not treat you kindly just because you have a higher moral standard. Instead, it will make it easier for others to hunt you down because you have more scruples.
It would be great if there was a distinguishing mechanism that could tell what kind of person a person was just by looking at their face.
