Chapter 1313: One Thousand Three Hundred and Eight [Narrative Errors (Part )]

Ian approached.

The situation was at a stalemate and Su Mingan felt very uneasy.

He rubbed his temples and felt a headache. But out of the corner of his eye he saw Su Wensheng on the right with his mouth raised, as if he was smiling.

……

Sizzle, sizzle.

The narrative anchor shifts again.

Current narrative anchor: [Su Ming'an] → [Su Ming'an 1 (Su Liujin's appearance)] → [Su Ming'an 2 (Su Wensheng's appearance)] → [Su Ming'an 1 (Su Liujin's appearance)] → [Su Ming'an 2 (Su Wensheng's appearance)].

……

Su Mingan touched his earrings and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the calamity that befell the Jellyfish Emperor, he was glad that he had changed his body. Otherwise, he would be the one sitting on pins and needles. However, looking at Su Liujin's appearance, he seemed quite steady, without the arrogant and domineering feeling of an emperor.

At this time, the class bell rang. In order not to violate school rules, Ian had to return to his seat.

The first class is mathematics.

"Da da da."

Footsteps were heard, and a white-haired young man walked onto the stage with a book in his arms, expressionless. Above his head, a line of words floated: [No. 3·Lü Yuqing].

...Lü Shu is a mathematics teacher.

Su Mingan couldn't help but wonder, can Lu Shu understand math problems?
As expected, Lu Shu stared at the book in silence for a long time until Su Mingan raised his hand and said, "Teacher, let me explain."

Lu Shu then breathed a sigh of relief and gave the book to Su Mingan.

Su Mingan taught the class like this until the bell rang. He returned the book to Lu Shu and went out. There was no point in staying here to attend the class, so he might as well look for some clues.

"Student Ian." Lu Shu also stopped Ian in time: "Come with me to my office, I will explain a problem to you."

Lu Shu cooperated very well with this move. As a student, Ian couldn't ignore him, otherwise he might violate the school rule of "must respect teachers and education".

At the same time, Su Mingan saw Noel in the corridor.

"Are you a Chinese teacher?" Su Mingan saw the Chinese book in Noel's arms.

"Yeah." Noel said with a smile and a wink. "You want to go out? There might be something good in the auditorium."

The code matched.

Su Mingan confirmed Noel's authenticity and nodded: "The third level shouldn't last too long. When it's over, you can come to the Land of the Undead. That's my base camp."

"OK." Noel passed him by.

Su Mingan walked towards the auditorium. The shadows of the trees were swaying, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping on the branches, and everything seemed full of life...

……

Zhila, zhila.

Dear Master, I inform you.

The culprit for the narrative anchor deviation has been traced to... the Lord of the End of All Things.

Unfortunately, His invasion is too deep, and the narrative anchor is still loose for the time being.

Please understand that I will work hard to fix it and try to stabilize the narrative anchor point and reduce the situation of such arbitrary switching of perspectives.

当前叙事锚点：【苏明安】→【苏明安1（苏琉锦面貌）】→【苏明安2（苏文笙面貌）】→【苏明安1（苏琉锦面貌）】→【苏明安2（苏文笙面貌）】→【苏明安3】。

……

Su Mingan opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and gasped for breath.

"Huh...huh...huh...!"

He put his hands to his chest and slowly caught his breath.

Looking around, I found myself sitting in the room with Yueyue's book in my hand.

The clock on the wall showed a little after 6 in the morning.

...What happened? He didn't enter the third level of the disciple game.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, he sat on the bed waiting for the disciple game to start, but suddenly he felt a blackout and passed out. When he woke up again, it was already now.

The audience in the live broadcast room also said that they had been watching Su Mingan fall into a coma and did not see anything else.

Su Mingan immediately went out to ask the World Master, but got a surprising answer from the World Master: "-Su Mingan? Why are you still here? Haven't you already entered the Disciple Game?"

The Lord of the World has a prop that can spy on the Disciple Game and can see the progress of the Disciple Game. After careful questioning, Su Mingan learned that there were two "selves" in the Disciple Game. One was the appearance of Su Liujin, and the other was the appearance of Su Wensheng.

But the real me is clearly here.

"I suspect that the 'narrative anchor' has deviated..." The Lord of the World stroked his chin, "The Lord of the End of All Things has begun to take action. He is disrupting Rovasha's narrative anchor."

"What is the narrative anchor point?" Su Ming'an said.

"It's hard to explain. You can think of it as a 'camera.'" The Lord of the World said, "Rovasha's time structure depends on the spliced ​​'Drama Memory Lenses', which are in the order of trillions. The appearance of the 'Drama Memory Lenses' depends on the direction of the 'narrative anchor'. Therefore, as long as the 'narrative anchor' is changed, the 'Drama Memory Lenses' will change greatly, and thus, Rovasha's entire time will also change greatly."

Su Mingan immediately focused his attention: "Can you give me an example? I don't quite understand."

The Lord laughed: "...What do you think I am? I will answer whatever you ask me."

Su Mingan stepped forward and said attentively: "Please explain it more clearly. I really want to help you."

Before he entered the disciple game, he looked like Si Que. When those golden eyes flashed, it was hard to disgust people. The Lord tilted his head, his silver mask glowing, and said lightly:

"For the sake of our allies."

Su Mingan smiled.
"Think of the 'narrative anchor' as the 'camera', and the 'dramatic memory lens' as the 'film shot by the camera.'" Shizhu said, "So, if the camera angle changes, all the images shot will of course change."

Su Mingan nodded, indicating that he understood the concepts of the two terms.

The Lord of the World went further: "Originally, the 'Drama Memory Lens' was stable, and the 'narrative anchor' was only fixed on the protagonist. Therefore, the time of Luowasha was stable, history would not be changed, and the future would not undergo major changes."

"But the Lord of the End of All Things is modifying Rovasha's 'narrative anchor'. I don't know what kind of invasion method He used, causing the 'narrative anchor' to begin to shift slightly."

Su Mingan asked, "Who is the 'narrative anchor' and how is it chosen?"

"In the past, the 'narrative anchor' would be fixed on the great men of each generation. Those great men all led an entire era and made heroic achievements. With the sudden appearance of Si Que, his existence took away the glory of contemporary great men, so the 'narrative anchor' was fixed on Si Que. After Si Que disappeared, the 'narrative anchor' was fixed on the Turritopsis dohrnii. When you arrived, the 'narrative anchor' fell on you." The Lord of the World tapped the chair with his fingers:

"I guess this is an automatic selection mechanism. Whoever is the greatest person of this era will automatically be the 'narrative anchor'."

"I wanted to work with you before because I realized that the 'narrative anchor' of this era fell on you, so I knew you would definitely do something that would move the world. Working with you is like adding wings to a tiger and icing on the cake."

"And now... the 'narrative anchor' seems to be starting to deviate from you. Sometimes it's with you, and sometimes it's not. I guess the two 'Su Ming'ans in the Disciple Game were created by the Lord of the End of All Things. They are forgeries used to seduce the 'narrative anchor'."

"As long as the seduction is successful and the 'narrative anchor' falls completely on them, Luo Washa's time will be messed up, and so will all of us."

"What's the chaos?" Su Mingan still didn't understand.

The Lord of the World pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "--Can you imagine? In the last second, your best friend was still Noel, and in the next second, your best friend became Edward."

The example given by the Lord was refreshing, and Su Ming'an immediately became sober.

"No wonder everything in Luowasha runs according to 'story logic', because the underlying structure of this civilization is composed of two concepts: 'narrative anchor' and 'dramatic memory lens'..." Su Mingan touched his chin: "Just like the reels of film in a movie, if the film is disrupted, the movie will become a mess."

In his literature appreciation class in college, he learned about the principles of film.

First, film recording: the camera focuses light onto the film through the lens, and the film records the picture at that moment.

Second, the film arrangement: these still images are arranged one after another on the film, with a small gap between each frame. The film is continuous and records the entire length of the movie.

Third, projection: the film quickly passes through 24 frames per second, thus producing a continuous dynamic image effect.

Therefore, the order of the images recorded on the film determines the images projected.

And Rovasha’s theory of time is——[filmed lens time].

By analogy:

Film means - the long and long river of time in Luowasha.

Every frame on the film means - every lens of dramatic memory.

The movie is shown, which means that trillions of dramatic memory lenses have been arranged and civilization has begun to function normally.

The First Age, the Second Age, the Third Age, the Fourth Age… the first light of human fire, the first white smoke from Watt’s steam engine, the first hum of Siemens electrical appliances, the first operation of an electronic computer… before the “movie” was shown (before civilization began to operate), these key historical events were piled together like unarranged film.

You have no way of knowing when they will occur, or if they even exist.

Like——

When an electron passes through the double slit,
Before you drop down to observe, you have no way of knowing whether the electron you observed is on the left or the right.

When the "narrative anchor" has not yet been set, these films can be freely combined into a chaotic history and future, presenting complex possibilities.

For example, maybe the Watt steam engine had never been invented. Maybe humans had never lit the first bonfire. All we need to do is take down the "film" representing these two key historical points, and these two events would no longer exist.

You can even make free combinations, putting the "film" of the Second Industrial Revolution before the "film" of the First Industrial Revolution, so that the time of the two revolutions is reversed.

However, when the "narrative anchor" is determined to fall (the memory lens determines the order and civilization begins to operate), the scattered films instantly form a movie, and other "possibilities" of sorting will disappear. Just like the moment when the lid of Schrödinger's cat is opened, the only real result is determined and the film is arranged - Watt has undoubtedly invented the steam engine, and mankind has already ignited the fire of prairie fire.

And everything Su Mingan sees now is based on this only narrative anchor point.

That is, the great man → Si Que → Turritopsis dohrnii → Su Mingan.

Such a sequence is fixed and eternal. So history is certain and will not change. Time also flows in a forward direction, like a river flowing from top to bottom.

But what the Lord of the End of All Things is doing now is to deviate from this sequence.

become:

Great man→Si Que→Turritopsis dohrnii→Su Ming'an→Su Ming'an No. 2→Su Ming'an No. 3→Su Ming'an No. 2...The narrative anchor points jump repeatedly, like an endless irrational number.

This will cause the entire Rovasha to fall into chaos, resulting in unpredictable consequences and deviations.

The arrangement of the lenses of the drama's memories changes, history becomes disordered, and time becomes an upside-down river.

Tearing up the film itself, messing up all the film.

——Kill the Savior Script.

"Let's go, the Lord of the End of All Things has officially taken action. Since we can't affect the Disciple Game for the time being, we will act in the outside world... I will take you to see the God of Annihilation." The Lord of the World stood up.
