Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Death came so quickly that there was no time to stop it!

Fan Wei's expression was still frozen in surprise. He slowly retracted his outstretched arm at a loss, and squatted down with a frown to examine the miserable dead body on the ground.

Apart from an expression of extreme fear, there were no obvious injuries on the body, as if the person had simply scared himself to death.

Turning his head to look at the other captain of Saint Sun Flower, she didn't seem to be affected by the death of her other self. She just had a tense face and was on guard against something with her teammates.

At the same time, he looked at Shirilo with a strange expression, and did not react at all to the body on the ground, as if he did not see it at all.

Logically speaking, she couldn't see.

But that strange 'twitching' appeared again, and it was very violent. Not only her, but almost everyone fell into the same state, but some were more serious and some were less serious.

"Fan, I've always wanted to ask..." Yani couldn't help but say, "Where is the captain of Shengyanghua you mentioned?"

Oops! Fan Wei just realized that something was wrong. His teammates had almost no impression of the Shengyanghua team. In their eyes, there was no such person at all!

So, the conflict arises...

Right in front of him, more than a dozen figures separated out, like a spreading plague, increasing the number of beings in Fan Wei's eyes.

Now it seemed that except for himself, everyone was abnormal. Even Yani and Roddy began to switch between different expressions and actions.

What is the reason? ?

Cold sweat broke out on Fan Wei's head. Even if they left here now, could this situation be resolved? Or would they become incurable lunatics as recorded in the records? !

"What's your name?" A cold voice suddenly came from the side.

Shirilo stared at this unusual-looking man, feeling that he seemed to know more than he and the others. Both times he spoke led to turning points in the incident.

We must find out more information.

Otherwise, even she would not be absolutely sure that she could deal with this strange island.

The vertical pupils in his eyes shrank sharply, and Fan Wei suddenly felt a tremendous pressure, as if a fist was pressing on his heart. He was so nervous that his whole body was stiff, and he just wanted to lower his head and tell the truth.

Longwei! So that's why, no wonder Shirilo's words always make people obey so easily.

As a dragonborn, she has inherited the true power of a dragon! The pressure from lower-level dragons like Zelong is even stronger.

"Misle Fan." His throat was a little dry and hoarse, Fan Wei resisted the pressure from Long Wei and said his name. There was nothing to hide. The more important thing right now was how to decipher the weirdness of this island.

"Is it you?" Shirilo's expression changed, but a figure intervened, cutting off her influence.

"What are you doing!" Yun Xin stepped forward and blocked Fan Wei behind her. "You are bullying our boss, we won't let you off!"

Feeling that his pressure had no effect on this girl, and was even a little suppressed, Shirilo's vertical pupils shrank slightly and he gathered his aura.

"I just want to ask Mr. Misle if he has any clues." Her face was grim, but her voice was much softer.

"I didn't expect that such a special person like him would also participate in this operation."

There were originally nearly a hundred people, but now there are only thirty or forty around. The sudden increase in pressure made Shirilo's eyes deep and said: "If we continue to fight alone, I'm afraid it will only make the situation worse. We need to cooperate."

"Then tell me what solution you have?" Yun Xin folded her hands. She didn't have a good impression of this guy who used his aura to bully others.

Compared to the young girl, Shirilo was much less childish and responded seriously: "Although I have no idea, I can feel that there seems to be some differences in everyone's perspective."

"......Difference?" Fan Wei's eyes suddenly focused, "Yes, that's the difference."

He looked around suddenly, as if he had suddenly seen the answer to the puzzle while thinking hard! His brain quickly scanned the various features and came up with a word: difference!

Differences in cognition.

"I understand!" He said in surprise and caution, "We cannot find the differences, because that will lead to 'disagreements'."

It was just a vague feeling at first, but now Fan Wei has finally figured out the pattern of this strange phenomenon.

Faced with the puzzled eyes, he raised his voice and carefully conveyed his discovery.

“Although I don’t understand the specific principles, here everyone can treat what they see and feel as a separate ‘world’.”

"Your cognition is the content of this world."

"Have you noticed that the people around you are all people you have an impression of?"

Once these words were spoken, it was indeed true. In the eyes of Yani and the others, there were only Shirilo, the sturdy man they had greeted before, and some familiar faces they had seen before.

Others whose names I couldn’t remember and whose characteristics I couldn’t remember at all, really disappeared as if they didn’t exist.

"So, actually, everyone is still here?" Shirilo asked.

As soon as she said this, the twitching intensified, and so did the twitching of all the people who heard this, but not to such an extreme degree, and they did not immediately separate into two.

"No, no, don't discuss this." Fan Wei quickly stopped him.

"Here, your perception is the 'world'! So if perceptions conflict, what do you think will happen?"

Shirilo quickly covered his mouth, feeling a sense of panic that he could not prevent. Wouldn't this mean that they all had to "fight on their own"?

Each different 'world' faces different situations, which are completely incomprehensible and inaccessible!

But she no longer dared to discuss or speculate. From Fan Wei's cautious attitude, she could see the seriousness of the matter.

In fact, the split in the "world" caused by cognitive differences is very serious. This is not a matter of one person, and people's cognition will be intertwined and interfere with each other.

Just like everyone knew that Shirilo existed, she only remembered Captain Shengyanghua, but not her team members.

As a result, during the questioning, Captain Shengyanghua experienced a cognitive conflict, causing her to split into two states. Other adventurers who could see Captain Shengyanghua and her teammates would also be affected and undergo the next split.

This situation does not end in one step, but continues in a chain! It may even lead to a paradox.

For example, one person remembers another person, but the other person does not remember him.

Then in the world of the person who remembers him, there will be a person who does not remember him, that is, a person who cannot see him!

The two understandings will conflict, and before the two people know each other, the "world" will fall into logical contradictions and continue to split!

Just like a chain reaction of dominoes or endlessly growing cancer cells, each different cognition will lead to the emergence of a large number of new individuals!

Fan Wei felt a headache because he didn't know how many people were in the forest. If the splitting didn't take time, it shouldn't be a problem for these entangled cognitions to fill the entire island in an instant.

At the same time, he couldn't stop it. Although he could see everyone, only some people could see him.

To those who don't know him, he is as good as non-existent, so not many people can hear his voice and stop their curiosity in time.

The errors resulting from discussion and comparison will make the situation worse.

The only good news is that Fan Wei’s cognition does not seem to lead to the escalation of the conflict, nor will it become a bug that makes things out of control.

If I had known this, I would have asked everyone to introduce themselves before we set off.

He felt very regretful and helpless. Even if he could guess the pattern, this situation seemed unsolvable at the moment! Even if he pretended to be a top student, he couldn't think of what to do.

Suddenly, a pulling force came from his trouser legs, which startled Fan Wei.

When I looked down, I found it was a small doll about elbow-high, with a simple dress and white hair, with conspicuous alopecia standing up, and a Q-version expression with a cold and lonely look.

Master of the Tower?!

Fan Wei was about to scream but forced himself to shut his mouth. When the little guy saw that he had attracted his attention, he jumped up, grabbed the folds of his clothes on the back with his chubby little hands and climbed lightly onto his shoulders.

"You did the right thing, they can't see me."

A voice sounded in Fan Wei's mind. It was the effect of the magic 'Telepathic Communication'. The little puppet that looked like the tower master said, "Because I was a little worried, I sent 'me' here to follow you quietly."

"I hope you don't mind..."

"Don't mind, don't mind, Master Tower Master, I am very grateful!"

Such a strong reinforcement has arrived! Fan Wei was pleasantly surprised and felt much more at ease.

The Mo Ling puppet paused, as if observing something, and continued, "I noticed something was wrong here before, there was a strong disturbance, so I used 'ether isolation' to shield you from some of the influence."

“So you can see a more realistic picture.”

"But I have no way to deal with the cognitive influence between people. This involves something very deep and cannot be blocked by ordinary power."

"But you seem to have resistance, which is a very good thing."

The little doll took out a transparent gem and said, "Then let me help you teleport out before the problem gets serious."

"Uh, wait a minute." Fan Wei was a little dumbfounded, "Are we going to run away right away? What about the others?"

"Others?" The Mo Ling puppet tilted its head, as if it had not considered this question.

"There's nothing we can do for the others. Teleportation can only take one person away, and they are affected by this place. I don't know what will happen to them after they leave."

Her expression remained unchanged, or rather, dolls' expressions simply did not change.

"You could die, have your soul broken, go insane, or at best suffer massive mental damage and a shortened lifespan."

Fan Wei stood there in a daze. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. It was clearly recorded that most of the team members who went on the exploration last time got out safely!

Why is it so dangerous once they land on the island?

But think about it, there was only one small team last time and they were all familiar with each other, so this strange situation might not have happened.

It was hard for Fan Wei to accept that he had abandoned his teammates and escaped alone. After thinking about it, he could only helplessly ask for help from the tower master, "Is there any way to save us?"

Yes, it’s not the end of the world yet! There must be a way to solve the problem!

The doll felt Fan Wei's attitude, put away the gem, and shook the hair on its head. "I will help you, but you must not get into trouble or die, otherwise, 'I' will be very sad."

Her attitude seemed to be talking about someone else, not the real Mo Ling.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely try my best to protect myself!" Fan Wei assured earnestly. He was very touched by the consideration, but for the sake of his friends, he had to give it a try!

The tower master puppet nodded and expressed his own opinion, "The problem now is that they will split due to differences in cognition."

"But the soul is the only one..."

————————————————I am the dividing line—————————————————

Although it was very obscure and difficult to understand, Fan Wei finally managed to understand the current crisis.

In the study of magic and theology, it was discovered very early that the human soul is unique! Although many magic or magic can "split" the soul, thus achieving effects such as splitting the body and controlling puppets.

But that is actually just a surface application.

The soul has no shape. The above-mentioned techniques only change it from a "mass" in common cognition into pieces.

At a higher level, uniqueness remains unchanged, so as long as the root is damaged, no matter how much differentiation there is, it will die immediately.

But on this strange island, the phenomenon of splitting also separates or copies the root of the soul! This conflicts with the nature of the uniqueness of the soul!

People who don’t understand might think this is a miracle.

But in Morin's view, splitting or duplicating the soul is simply impossible.

So she came to a conclusion that the multiple individuals in front of her were just a phenomenon similar to "time segmentation".

There is only one soul at all times. For example, the one who died was one of the captains of Saint Sun Flower, and the root of her soul had been destroyed, but the other her was still alive. This her could only be her actual, 'past' self.

Because the end of destruction has been determined, no matter how many divisions there are later, they are all in the past.

The paradox of time, space and causality arises here, but what will happen if we leave the island and the paradox disappears?

It’s actually very easy to guess...she’s dead.

This conclusion made Fan Wei feel heavy-hearted. Although he seemed to be still alive, death was inevitable. It was somewhat frightening and sad.

And the fact that others have not died does not mean that they will be safe.

A paradoxical phenomenon has occurred and is directly affecting the soul. It is unlikely that everything will return to normal after leaving the island, so Mo Ling would say that the lightest consequences are mental damage and shortened lifespan.

The soul is closely connected to both.

"Is there no idea or solution?" Fan Wei asked frustratedly but without giving up hope.

Mo Ling thought silently, "Theoretically, if we can solve the problem on this island, in the midst of this strange phenomenon, we may be able to get out safely."

How to enter and how to exit can avoid the shock caused by transition.

But how to solve the problem is the biggest problem!

Fan Wei could only look forward, hoping that there was some vague hope in that "treasure".

Wish Gem...can it solve this problem?

There was still silence, and the team moved forward in silence. In this dark and gloomy forest, the adventurers walked forward blindly or helplessly.

"Fan, do you feel anything?" Yani suddenly approached Fan Wei and whispered.

At present, only Fan Wei has the deepest understanding and grasp of the situation. Yani, who seems to be troubled by something, turns to him for help with a dependent mentality.

"It seems like there's something in the woods, staring at me." She said with rare fear.

"When I first entered the woods, I saw a dark shadow, a dark shadow with many eyes, like... like a monster."

Monster? Hearing this word, Fan Wei's heart suddenly tightened. He looked around and saw nothing.

...can't see?

A creepy thought came to my mind. If everyone can only see the 'world' that they know, then what if... they believe that there is something that actually does not exist?

Yani's expression turned horrified, and she pointed to the empty space with her hand: "Fan, I saw it! I saw it!"

"There it is! There it is!"
