Ignoring the pop-up window on the computer, Chen Chen stared at the hat that appeared out of nowhere next to the computer with a solemn expression.
He was certain that before he turned on the computer, there was absolutely no hat next to him.
Also, this hat...
It looked a little too familiar...
Chen Chen hesitantly reached out and took the hat in his hand.
The hat was made of canvas and felt slightly rough in his hand. The color was khaki, just like a peaked cap. It was only the size of a palm.
No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like a hat that a human could wear.
Chen Chen flipped the hat over. Inside the hat, there was a note sewn with white polyester. There were a few lines of English written on the note:
“IF
TO:”
“Harry
Goodman; 1722
St.Ryme
Clty。”
Translated, it meant:
"If lost, please return to: 1722 Green Street, Lyme City, Harry Goodman."
This was...
Chen Chen inhaled sharply. His eyes were filled with shock.
He turned around abruptly and looked at the computer screen, only to find that the movie had automatically ended.
This was the peaked cap of Pikachu in the movie!
At this moment, Chen Chen only felt ridiculous and incredulous. He quickly bent down and looked under the bed!
No one!
He quickly stood up and looked at the upper bunk!
No one!
He quickly pulled open the drawer of the desk!
Still no one...
After confirming that there was no one in the dormitory, he had to believe that this was not a prank by his roommates.
Moreover, even if it was a prank, how would the other party know that he would open the movie Detective Pikachu?
However, if it was not a prank, what could it be?
Because he had opened the movie, the computer extracted the hat from the movie?
What kind of joke was this!
Moreover, this was not the first time he had watched this movie on the computer. Why did this only happen this time?
Suddenly, Chen Chen seemed to have thought of something. He focused his gaze on the black USB flash drive!
Was it behind this?
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes.
Whether it was due to the light or his imagination, the shell of the USB flash drive seemed to be mottled.
The originally black USB flash drive now seemed to be covered with a layer of darkness. It was as if metal had been left in the air for a long time and was oxidized by the air.
Did something happen to the USB drive, or was there something wrong with his memory?
Chen Chen did not believe it. He closed the "Program Error" pop-up window and double-clicked the movie Detective Pikachu again.
However, the "Program Error" prompt appeared on the screen again.
The file is broken again?
Chen Chen frowned. He thought about it and tried to delete it. There was a "swish" on the computer and the movie in the USB drive was deleted...
Chen Chen was taken aback. He still remembered that when he tried to delete the other movies, it displayed a "Program Error". He thought that the movies in the USB drive could not be deleted.
Therefore, he tried to delete the original horror movies in the USB drive again.
But the result was still the same. Every time he tried to delete it, the computer would pop up with a "Program Error" window.
"Could it be that only movies that have been played can be deleted?"
Chen Chen was deep in thought. He opened the local D drive again, dragged Detective Pikachu into the USB drive, and then tried to delete it.
Boom!
Sure enough, he couldn't delete the movie file that he copied again.
Therefore, Chen Chen clicked on the movie again. This time, the movie played as usual without any abnormalities.
In front of the screen, Chen Chen kept recalling. He seemed to be missing his dog and at the same time, he attached his emotions to the character of Pikachu. Then, what happened next happened.
Therefore, Chen Chen fast-forwarded the video to the stage where Pikachu appeared. At the same time, he imagined extracting Pikachu from the movie.
In just a few seconds, the movie closed again and a "Program Error" window popped up.
At the same time, a hat identical to the previous one appeared on the right side of the computer!
It was real!!!
Chen Chen's eyes widened. Although he was prepared, no matter how he observed, he could not figure out how this hat appeared in this position.
Did it appear out of thin air?!
Chen Chen picked up the two hats together and compared them. He found that whether it was the details or the handwriting on the label, there was no difference at all.
It was as if God had created two identical objects at the same time.
"Could it be because of the USB drive?"
Chen Chen said incredulously. He looked at the USB drive again, only to find that it was darker than before, like a useless object abandoned in a corner.
"This thing is wearing out..."
Chen Chen immediately understood. Every time he extracted an object from the movie, it would consume the USB drive's energy.
In that case, what kind of energy was this?
Electricity?
Solar energy?
Or some other type of energy that surpassed human technology?
More importantly, could this energy be replenished? Was this USB drive a one-time use or could it be recharged and reused?
Also, why was it that when he was imagining Pikachu, the USB drive could only generate its hat? Was it a lack of energy or was there some other factor?
Also, if he opened other movies, could he also extract objects from those movies?
All these questions whizzed through Chen Chen's mind. He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement that made his whole body tremble.
Calm down, calm down...
Chen Chen kept taking deep breaths. At the same time, he got up and walked to the door of the dormitory. He locked the door and returned to the computer to think silently.
There were too few clues. He needed to conduct many more experiments.
However, the energy of the USB drive could not support many experiments. What should he do?
Thinking of this, Chen Chen took out a blank notebook from the drawer. He controlled his trembling hand and wrote the word "Principle" on the first page.
"Principle: Unknown."
How could he explain the phenomenon of the mysterious USB drive using the existing scientific principles?
Indeed, with the knowledge stored in Chen Chen's brain, there was no way to explain everything that had just happened.
It was just a movie composed of code and frames of images. How could it create objects out of thin air?
"Guess: Aliens? People from the future? Brains in a vat? "
After writing the second paragraph, Chen Chen could not help but laugh at himself and wrote the third line.
"Ability: Through the thoughts of the person watching the video, extract/instantiate the objects shown in the video into reality (does not seem to include living things)."
Chen Chen guessed that he was thinking of Pikachu twice, but only the hat was extracted each time. This meant that the USB drive could not instantiate a living being.
Of course, he could not rule out the possibility of insufficient energy.
Chen Chen clicked on the movie again. A program error window popped up on the screen. He tried to delete it.
With a "swish", the movie was successfully deleted.
"Sure enough, after extracting the object, it can be deleted from the USB drive."
In other words, any movie could be placed in the USB drive but it could not be deleted.
If he wanted to delete the movie, the only way was to extract an object from the movie and cause the movie file to be damaged.
With this in mind, Chen Chen wrote again:
"Rule 1: The video can be imported but can't be deleted at will after it's imported. The file must be damaged;
"Rule 2: At present, it seems that the video will only be damaged if an object is extracted from the video;
"Rule 3: The size, weight, and other objective factors of the extractable object have not been tested."
Finally, Chen Chen looked at the USB drive itself.
