A few hours later, Dorothy conducted a preliminary investigation of the virtual world she was in through various means, and learned some of its characteristics.
First of all, Dorothy came to this world suddenly without any warning together with a part of her corpse. This world is not an illusion. Every object is real. The people here can speak and seem to have their own will and life, not like puppets.
The society of the entire fictional Bastis is very complete, from commoners to officials to princes, all have their own life trajectories. The society here completely complies with the settings given in Dorothy's historical compilation. In Dorothy's historical compilation, it is set how the bureaucratic system of the Santo Dynasty was transformed, and what official positions there were during the reign of King Hakya, and what officials there were here. The third king established a monument in the center of Bastis, and there is really a monument here. Dorothy set the fourth king to marry a commoner named Hena as the queen, and Dorothy really saw the portrait of Queen Hena in the palace.
The world here completely complies with the conditions and settings given by Dorothy when she wrote history. Even the places where Dorothy did not set specific settings, such as some festivals based on the establishment of the Santo Dynasty and the traditional customs of the people, are fully expressed here. This world is like a real world formed after being fully processed, filled and expanded based on Dorothy's settings and benchmarks.
Secondly, it is Dorothy's connection with this world. The strange thing is that Dorothy and some of the corpse dolls brought here cannot be sensed by the people in this world. Dorothy and her corpse dolls are like they don't exist at all in the eyes of the people in this world. No matter what actions they make or what sounds they make, they can't cause any reaction from the residents of this world.
But this does not mean that Dorothy does not exist in this world. Dorothy and her corpse doll deliberately pick up items from this world, drink water from this world, and eat food from this world. If Dorothy lets the corpse doll hit a person on the head of this world, he will also feel pain, and then look around in confusion, but he cannot see who hit him. Dorothy and her corpse doll are like invisible to this world.
In addition, Dorothy also tried to explore the border of this world. After a short exploration, she found that this world was very big, and even if there was a border, it was very far away. She could see the complete Bastis, and many settlements outside Bastis. There were many merchants from other places in Buserit gathered in Bastis, and they talked about news from other places in Buserit.
However, Dorothy had never heard any news about the outside of Buserit from these merchants, and she could not find any foreign merchants from outside Buserit in Bastis. When Dorothy went to the library to look for information about foreign countries, she did find some, but the content was very little. There were no foreigners or even traces of foreigners in Bastis, which was unimaginable for a relatively stable and prosperous capital of the kingdom.
Therefore, Dorothy guessed that the boundary of this virtual world might be the entire Buserit. Whether there is any place outside Buserit is a question worth verifying. However, Dorothy's time is limited now, and she does not have the time to go to the border of Buserit for special verification.
Afterwards, Dorothy also investigated the relationship between this virtual world and the real world. After Dorothy entered this world, the spiritual connection with the real world was interrupted, but the information communication based on the system was still able to operate normally. Dorothy could contact Neveu and Vanya in the real world normally. After confirming that the situation on their side had not changed at all, Dorothy confirmed that she had come to another virtual world, and it was not the real world that had become what it is now.
Finally, Dorothy began to look for a way to return to the world of the angels. Dorothy came here by compiling history books, so naturally she needed to go back in a similar way.
Dorothy discovered that not all of her corpse dolls were sent to this world. Only those corpse dolls who participated in the compilation of history books with Dorothy and whose hands touched the pages of history books at the moment Dorothy was sent here were sent here. The other corpse dolls responsible for guarding and assisting in the compilation were left in her world. In other words, whoever participated in the compilation of this virtual history would enter the virtual history.
The opportunity for Dorothy to enter the world of virtual history was the virtual history she compiled for the Santo Dynasty. It took her more than ten years to compile it, allowing the virtual history of the Santo Dynasty to continue in the forged history books to today in 1361, completing a kind of synchronization. In this synchronization, Dorothy and her corpse dolls were sent here together.
"Since... we came here because of the synchronization between real history and fake history, wouldn't it be fine if we just eliminated this synchronization?"
Sitting in the underground library of Bastis in the virtual history, Dorothy looked at the thick stack of manuscripts on the long wooden table and thought silently that this stack of manuscripts was the pseudo-history she compiled for the Santo Dynasty. After she and the corpse doll were sent to the virtual history world, this batch of manuscripts were also sent over.
"April 11, 1361 Glorious Calendar, 64th Royal Calendar. King Hakya received a report of a severe sandstorm in two eastern provinces and urgently sought out his advisor Hassan to come to the palace to discuss the matter."
The above and this paragraph are the last words written by Dorothy in the fake history. It was only after she finished writing this paragraph that she and her corpse were sent to this fictitious history world. April 11, 1361, is the time in Dorothy's real history and the time in the current fake history.
"If the synchronization of these two histories is an opportunity to travel through time... "
Dorothy thought so in her heart, then she reached out and picked up a pen to look at the last paragraph she had written on the page in front of her. After thinking for a while, she first picked up the water bottle in the water bottle basket on the table beside her and put it in the pocket under her robe, then she reached out and crossed out the last paragraph on the manuscript with one stroke.
The moment Dorothy picked up the pen, the scene in front of her suddenly became chaotic. Except for herself, the manuscript in front of her, and several zombies that were touching the pages of the manuscript, the light and color of the whole world became distorted and abstract, began to change continuously, and then quickly began to stabilize.
After the light and color stabilized, Dorothy was able to see concrete objects again. The rocky desk, the dusty bookshelf, the broken books, and the dim oil lamp gradually appeared in front of Dorothy. Finally, the exquisitely decorated underground library disappeared one after another, and the dilapidated underground library reappeared in Dorothy's eyes. She returned to the history of the world.
"Huh... Of course, as long as the synchronization is released, I can go back again..."
Dorothy stood up and murmured these words after taking a long breath. She looked around and found that all the corpses that were sent to the virtual world because they had not touched the manuscript were lying here, motionless. And those corpses that had come into contact with the manuscript with her in the virtual world had also returned.
However, some of the dolls that were specifically not allowed to touch the manuscripts did not come back when Dorothy returned, and seemed to be left in the virtual world.
Then Dorothy would reach into the pocket under her robe, feeling for the water bottle she had just put in, only to find nothing.
"Things from fictional history... can't be brought back to real history..."
