0713: You who shine in the parallel world

After the brothers understood the whole story, the secret door on the other side of the secret room opened. According to the predecessor "Mouse" who arranged all this, he had a way to bypass all the execution ceremonies with the "Operating Room" sign and reach the "Dean", which is the location of the collective consciousness body of this collective consciousness space.

As long as they can severely injure the opponent, they can leave here.

At this final checkpoint, Wang Zhengliang began to make his position clear: "Let me make it clear in advance that I think most of us share the same stance as the 'rat'. We want to leave here instead of living in a hypocritical utopia. Now is the last chance for the 'non-humans' or those who want to retain their consciousness space to stop us. In the following stages, if anyone starts to slack off or secretly trip us up, then he is definitely not one of us."

"I can't understand why someone would do such a thing to their relatives. They are their parents or grandparents." Chen Qisheng's voice was muffled. Yu Yu knew that he might be thinking of his grandmother.

Previously, during a drunken night at the seaside when recording "Happy Start Again", he mentioned his grandmother, who had forgotten his name in the end. The person who loved him most in her life had forgotten who he was when they met. This was a helpless and sad thing, but even so, he would always love her. None of them regarded the elders with Alzheimer's disease as a burden.

"This place may really bring spiritual comfort to those elderly people. I don't know whether some of them really like it here. I only know that false happiness is like a bubble that will burst with a poke. I also want to leave here." Chen Qisheng said.

The brothers walked forward along the dark arched tunnel, and gradually there was more light in front of them. It was an old room, and everything there looked like a product of the 1960s and 1970s. There were three kerosene lamps on the long table that could accommodate eight people sitting face to face.

Although it is a kerosene lamp, it contains an incandescent lamp, so it can illuminate the entire room very brightly.

Seven pieces of paper and pens were neatly placed on the table. It seemed that the last stage would require them to use their brains to take notes.

There was a curtain hanging on the wall of the room. When they walked in, an image lit up on the curtain, and an "old man" with white hair (a young man with special effects makeup) stared at them gloomily.

"You have finally come here, just like those hateful 'rats' before, following the footsteps of idealists, to meet your death." The old man on the curtain cursed bitterly. The voice sounded quite familiar. It was obviously the voice of the "nurse" heard on the radio before. It turned out that it was not a nurse, but the director of the nursing home, who had been monitoring them.

"Do you think you will succeed? No, it's impossible, damn 'rat', it may not be a good thing that you have awakened your thoughts. People's hearts are unpredictable, and humans are selfish creatures. If some of you want to go out, there will definitely be some who don't want to go out. I want to see if you can successfully stop me when people are not united, or fall down in front of the door to leave like every previous reincarnation!"

The old man went offline after finishing the plot.

"Do you think the tacit understanding we have had for more than a decade is fake?" Zhang Yuan snorted coldly, pointing at the darkening curtain and speaking loudly, "Just wait, big boss, we will soon be able to defeat you!"

The rules of the game for the last level were placed at everyone's seat. Yu Yu pulled out a chair and sat down, then picked up the paper with the rules written on it and took a look.

"The artificial brain is the material carrier of the collective consciousness space. Its main consciousness is the controller of the consciousness level of the collective consciousness space, also known as the collective consciousness body. In order to ensure the survival of other consciousness bodies living in the consciousness space, the collective consciousness space is manifested in the form of a nursing home at the consciousness level, and the collective consciousness body serves as the director of the nursing home."

"To prevent the collective consciousness from getting out of control, neural links can be used for manual control."

"Neural connection control is as follows:"

"1. Neuronal connections are divided into five links: rationality, logic, emotion, art, and language. Each link has six nodes."

"2. The neuron connection requires the cooperation of seven people. The operation room can only accommodate one person at a time. After a single person enters, he or she must and can only light up one link between the nodes."

"3. If there are other links that have been lit up before when operating the lighting node, you can choose whether to modify the already lit node, but only one link can be modified at a time."

"4. After each person has completed the operation, it is forbidden to disclose the lighting or adjustment status to others."

"5. When the five links are connected successfully, and each link does not overlap with other links, the collective consciousness can be successfully controlled and the door to leave the consciousness space can be opened."

After watching it, you guys looked at me and I looked at you.

"I don't understand." Chen Qisheng frowned with a question mark on his face.

"How to connect? Use yarn?" Wang Yuexin tried to find the linking tool.

"What is this for? Connect the Dots or Candy Crush?" Zhang Yuan was confused.

"What connection? What is the connection? What is a neuron? What does it look like?" Wang Zhengliang didn't understand anything with both eyes.

"Um, Allen, Yu Yu, can you translate?" Lu Hu looked directly at Yu Yu and Su Xing.

It turns out that if you want them to play games or complete tasks, you can just tell them what to do. If you make it complicated and fancy, their "dyslexia" will suddenly appear.

"First of all, the place where we are going to carry out the mission is not here, but in that room." Su Xing pointed to the wooden door at the end that he observed as soon as he entered. There was a doorplate of the Neuronal Link Room hanging on the door.

Yu Yu continued, "Secondly, this game requires us to work together to connect lines. There are five lines in total, and each line has six points. The lines are divided into seven segments, and we need to connect seven times to complete a line. As long as the last five lines do not cross, we will successfully pass the level."

"Finally, please note that only one person can go in at a time, and each person must and can only connect a small segment at a time. You can selectively modify a previously connected segment, or not modify it. After you are done connecting, you cannot communicate with others about the connection status inside. Theoretically, the seven of us can only connect one link in one round, and it will take five rounds to connect five links." Su Xing added at the end.

After the two of them said this, the other brothers finally understood. This is like a water pipe connecting game. In the end, you have to make sure the water pipes are unobstructed and cannot cross with other pipes to prevent water from flowing to other outlets. This is simple.

"No, it's not that easy. If only one person plays the game, it's indeed not complicated, because a person's logic and thinking are fixed. But if seven of us have to play at the same time, everyone's thinking may be different, and there may be overlaps in the end." Wang Zhengliang is worthy of being Brother Liang, and he immediately discovered the blind spot.

"Besides, we can't discuss it, so we can't work out how to connect together." Chen Qisheng also felt that this game was not as simple as it seemed. "There might be a 'non-human' doctor among us who would sabotage us, which would make it even more difficult."

"So the order of entering is very important. If the front line is well connected, and the 'non-human' adjusts the front line at the end and crosses other lines, or breaks the connection, then it's game over." Su Xing said while spinning the pen, "Similarly, if the 'rat' is at the end, it may also play a decisive role."

When things got to this point, everyone gathered around the long table and began to speak individually.

Lu Hu sat on the side, starting with him. He didn't have too many thoughts, just frankly admitted that he was just an ordinary patient, without any special identity, and the important task of "rat" as a revolutionary pioneer would not fall on him, but he suspected that Yu Yu was the "rat" because he had been collecting all the evidence from the beginning to now, and actively helped to advance the plot.

As for the "non-human", he guessed it was either Su Xing or Wang Yuexin, as both of them were too suspicious.

Finally, regarding the order of the game, he felt that his brain wasn't very good at this game, and he timidly asked if he could be the first to go in.

Zhang Yuan beside him said something similar to him, and as everyone knows, it becomes more and more difficult as time goes by as the second spot comes. He was also afraid that he would not be able to figure it out.

The third person is Su Xing.

"It's my turn now? Then I'll just jump. Actually, I'm the 'rat' and I don't mind being the one who has the final say." Su Xing spread his hands and started to attack.

Everyone except Yu Yu immediately turned to look at him: "What?"

"No, stop jumping around. You are the 'rat', and what is the fish?" As one of the people who stepped on Su Xing the most in the early stage, Wang Zhengliang had a face full of question marks.

"Yu Shao is my teammate." Su Xing's big smiling eyes were full of shrewdness. "As a 'rat', I can choose a teammate, so I chose Yu Yu at that time. And because of that employee file, you all doubted me at that time. In order to protect myself in front of the real 'non-human', I decided to cooperate with Yu Yu. I moved to the dark, and Yu Yu was in the light, pretending to be the 'rat'."

The others still looked incredulous, especially Wang Yuexin. He looked at Yu Yu beside him in disbelief, as if he was looking at a heartless man.

"You teamed up with him? When did you team up with him? How come I didn't know?!"

Yu Yu scratched his face guiltily: "Uh, well, well, it was after you... But don't take this kind of thing too seriously. My teaming up with him doesn't affect my teaming up with you..."

Such a scumbag's words made Wang Yuexin, who was cheated on, and even Lao Su next door couldn't stand it: "Yu Shao, please say less, please say less, Wang Molai is heartbroken."

"I thought I would help you hide your identity even if it meant causing trouble... So you're really not a 'rat'?!"

"That's definitely not the case." Yu Yu shook his head.

When Wang Yuexin first thought that Su Xing was a "non-human" and teamed up with him, Su Xing also asked him if he had any thoughts about the identity of "Rat".

At that time, he did have some doubts about Yu Yu, after all, Yu Yu's behavior was too obvious, but thinking that Yu Yu was already his partner, they had agreed to join the nursing home camp together. After starting to doubt Yu Yu, Wang Yuexin thought that he agreed to do things with him just to hide his "rat" identity.

Wang Yuexin was soft-hearted and didn't want to betray him, so he told Su Xing that he didn't know who the "rat" was, and if he confirmed it later, he would definitely help him catch him and hand him over to the nursing home, and that was how he got around it.

Who would have thought that Yu Yu had already hooked up with Su Xing, and he was not a "rat", he was just pretending! But Su Xing was a 'non-human', how could——

"You don't necessarily need to hide it from me that you and Su Xing are teaming up. He is Mo Lai. Aren't we originally planning to team up with 'Non-Human'?"

Before Yu Yu answered, Su Xing was unhappy: "No, I'm not Mo Lai. Why are you still holding on until now? Mo Lai is not you, Yue Xin."

"No, that's really not the case. I admit that I was planning to do something to switch to the nursing home camp from the beginning, and invited Yu Yu to join me, but I will never admit something I haven't done."

The others finally understood what was going on with these three people. The two naughty kids secretly agreed to do something bad to trip up their brothers, and then one of them changed his mind and was pulled into a team by Su Xing, who called himself "Mouse", and began to pretend to be a "mouse". Wang Yuexin thought Su Xing was a "non-human", and why did Yu Yu hide it from him? Originally, the two of them planned to join the "non-human" from the beginning, and they would be teammates sooner or later.

As expected, Wang Yuexin had already made it clear that she would cause trouble in this stage. As for Yu Yu...

"Yu, what do you say?" Chen Tansheng asked the other party involved.

"In fact, I teamed up with both of them privately at the same time. After observing them for a period of time, I have reservations about their identities." Yu Yu said calmly, "When Yue Xin came to me, he claimed that he had no identity, but wanted to try something different. He might really not be Mo Lai, but just an ordinary patient who hopes to stay in the nursing home Utopia. It is also possible that he is Mo Lai and just used this method to get rid of suspicion and gain my trust. No matter which one it is, I don't deny that I also wanted to try something new at the time, so I teamed up with him."

"Similarly, Allen later came to the door claiming to be 'rat'. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he is a wolf jump hunter. Based on my understanding of the two of them, both he and Yue Xin may use this kind of operation."

"Objectively speaking, I'm not sure if this is a delaying tactic by the two of them. Yuexin Wolf jumped into civilian disguises as a wolf to better hide his identity, and at the same time he can legitimately sabotage and achieve his own goals. Allen Wolf jumped into hunter disguises, and the way he teamed up with me might be something he came up with on the spot, and it's not a real 'rat' way to assimilate teammates. He asked me to disguise myself as a hunter, so that it might be possible to lure out the real hunter."

"If I were to look at it subjectively, the chances of Allen being the 'rat' are indeed higher. After all, not long after we formed a team, the dean started to jump up and down and revealed that the rat had found a teammate. Of course, it is possible that the real 'rat' happened to find someone else to form a team with at that time. As for Yue Xin... I can't say for sure."

"So regarding the order, just in case Allen is not the 'rat', I suggest that he be placed second to last. Yuexin and I both have ideas for stirring up trouble, so for safety's sake we can be placed in the middle. That's about it."

After listening to Yu Yu's speech, the others were thoughtful and felt that their brains were spinning so fast that they were about to smoke.

Even Su Xing and Wang Yuexin couldn't help nodding their heads. You know what, you really have to say, Yu Yu really hit the nail on the head. They could really pull off such cool moves as the wolf jumping into a hunter or the wolf jumping into a civilian and pretending to be a wolf, as long as the program crew dared to give them a werewolf identity.

It’s a pity that they are nothing, but even if they say it, others may not believe it...even they themselves don’t quite believe it.

So it is true that those who play tactics have dirty hearts.

The fact that Yu Yu could think of this shows that his heart is not that clean either, and he is full of tricks.

The next speaker, Chen Hesheng, pondered for a moment and looked at Yu Yu: "Actually... Yu, I always feel that your performance throughout the whole event today was a bit positive."

"Huh?" Yu Yu looked at Chen Xiansheng in surprise. He was really surprised. Is our eldest brother so perceptive?

"You are the same as Allen, who would rather lie down than sit, but he is still very active in the mental part or when it comes to setting the pace. But you, you have always been very casual. Today I saw a different side of you."

"In fact, when I was checking the archives downstairs, there was a moment when I wanted to check yours."

Brother Sheng is awesome! —— (broken voice)

Yu Yu really wanted to give him a thumbs up. His intuition was truly amazing.

"Well, Yu Yu did perform very well today, because he is smart but just too lazy to use his brain." Wang Zhengliang also nodded, but he did not think Yu Yu was a suspect. "It is precisely because he usually does not show his ability, and occasionally when he uses his brain, it is conspicuous. But Brother Sheng, along the way, we have no evidence pointing to him, just like there is no evidence pointing to you and me."

"So I didn't check him in the end. This was just an unfounded guess of mine." Chen Xinsheng shook his head. "In fact, apart from the files, there is no definite evidence pointing to Allen and Yue Xin. We could have torn off the little red flower and searched again the next day, but now there is definitely no chance, so I won't guess about anyone."

Chen Qisheng's speech, which had no conclusion at the end, made Wang Zhengliang at a loss as to how to respond. After thinking about it, he decided to follow his initial intuition and guessed that Su Xing was the wolf trying to trick the hunter.

In this case, Su Xing will also bite back at Wang Zhengliang. He has been stepping on him hard from the beginning and will not let him go no matter how the evidence changes. It seems that he is determined to take down the smartest person among them. Therefore, Wang Zhengliang cannot be the last in the ranking.

So in the end, the order of the seven people carrying out the task became Lu Hu first, followed by Zhang Yuan, Yu Yu, Wang Yuexin, Wang Zhengliang, Su Xing, and Chen Tansheng.

"It would be interesting if after all our suspicions, it turned out that Brother Sheng was Mo Lai." Looking at the result, Su Xing smiled and joked.

"If it were me, wow, my acting skills would be really great." Chen Xisheng also laughed.
