"Close your eyes."
Standing on tiptoe, the wind blowing across my eyelids, hands intertwined with someone's, warm:
"Yes? Get ready to jump."
What would you think in the moment before falling from a height of thousands of meters?
Su Yi opened the backdoor and saw his most familiar face behind the door:
White nights, white nights, countless white nights, in the burning fire, in the rushing sea, in the battles with monsters in countless copies... They have experienced failure and started all over again. The old white nights condensed into eternal codes in memories, and the new white nights accompanied him to start again.
This is where all of Su Yi's memories in the virtual world from the beginning of the first act to the present are stored.
He looked up at the experiences he and Bai Ye had shared, the spiral steps that converged into a point at the top. That was the starting point of everything. He and Bai Ye stood on the high sky tower.
Sizzle…sizzle…
Gradually, strange noises began to be heard all around, getting louder and louder. This noise-like electric current interrupted the memory spiral, as if something was about to come in. Soon, Su Yi heard an intimate machine voice:
"Wife!"
The life-saving system poked its head out from the backdoor. It was in the form of a small household robot. It rolled along the robot conveyor belt under it and approached Su Yi.
Su Yi chuckled. After entering the backdoor, it was equivalent to hacking into the system of [Thriller Script? Kill]. The invisible man's restriction on his dreams immediately became invalid, and the life-saving system bound to him was successfully reconnected online.
"You have a physical body here?" Su Yi squatted down and touched the little home robot that had been loyally protecting him. "What's the situation outside?"
"I was just about to show it to you." The life-saving system dutifully called up the situation outside, and the first one was 000's live broadcast room.
The virtual timeline was also invalid in Backdoor, so Su Yi saw that the real-time status outside was all still images. Several comments in the live broadcast room caught his attention.
Some viewers took screenshots of him lying on the railroad tracks wearing a black plastic bag, and asked:
[Does anyone feel that these eyes look familiar? Like I've seen them somewhere before?]
[Indeed, although the eyes have turned into the green color of the elves, the shape of the eyes... well? looks like a human...]
[Oh my god! Isn’t this Susu? This year’s rookie king, the bride copy? Just get it done? The godly player who broke the historical record with 100% progress!]
[Wow, why is my wife here?! No? Ah, when did you join the Shadow camp? No? Sacrifice!!]
…
Su Yi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. He didn't expect that this group of audiences were so perceptive that they could guess who he was just by showing his two eyes.
"These annoying audiences always like to shout, who is his wife!" The life-saving system narrowed the round eyes of the little robot in dissatisfaction and shouted to Su Yi, "Wife! How are you going to solve this trolley problem now?"
Su Yi smiled. Backdoor was in his hands now. He could modify the code as he pleased and get rid of the constraints of the timeline. No matter how long he stayed here, the time consumed was 0. It was equivalent to that the outside world had been stopped by him, like fish on a chopping board, at his disposal.
"Hasn't he set the stage for me?"
Su Yi stared at 000's live broadcast room. This person used his supreme authority to force the live broadcast room to be pushed to the system homepage. Now, all the players who had been killed in the horror script were forced to watch it, and the number of viewers reached a record high.
000 wanted to use the trolley problem to embarrass him in front of everyone and completely shatter the heroic image of Shadow that he had created, so he created the most popular stage in history for him. This was truly a rare and good opportunity.
"We can't waste his kindness."
Su Yi spoke indifferently as he sat cross-legged in the center of the backdoor space. Code streams came from all directions, surrounding him like blue magic. Countless formulas and numbers surrounded Su Yi like waves. He watched with his eyes and modified them quickly with his brain.
The speed of thinking and calculation is so fast that even the life-saving system cannot keep up with it using ultra-high-speed visual motion capture. One can only sigh again that the level of Su Yi's human brain development is definitely not on the same dimension as that of ordinary humans.
As long as you have extremely powerful computing and programming capabilities and can construct new code that conforms to the overall operating logic of [Thriller Script? Killing], you can use backdoor to easily modify the outside world.
But Backdoor is not omnipotent. Su Yi, who has recovered his past memories, knows very well that Backdoor cannot kill people directly. After all, it was the first generation 001 who left Backdoor. As an architect and the leader of Thriller, he may be willing to leave a glimmer of hope for the desperate world, but he cannot make something that others can kill him and destroy the entire world he created with a wave of their hands.
Su Yi recalled the first time he opened the backdoor in the first week. In addition to the code array that flowed like magic, there was also a door leading to reality.
That door can be opened for 15 minutes. Anyone who enters the backdoor can summon their companions to enter the door, escape from the [Thriller Script Killing] together, and sneak back to the real world.
This was probably a ray of mercy left by the first generation 001, but this was not what Su Yi wanted. Even if they returned to the real world, he and Bai Ye would only be hunted down.
If you want to truly solve this problem, you must kill all the Thrillers, destroy the entire virtual world, return the consciousness of all the players who are still alive here to their real bodies, and expose the crimes committed by this huge organization to the whole world!
This goal cannot be achieved directly through backdoor, but backdoor can be used to build new code that meets Su Yi's needs. Therefore, he and Bai Ye jointly built a sophisticated and huge plan, a new mechanism of cyclic iteration.
In the first week, after reuniting with Bai Ye, Su Yi took him to the coordinates of the discontinuity point that he had calculated before, and discovered the hidden station.
That was the first time they saw the man behind the [Thriller Script? Murder] in person: Thriller.
At that time, they knew very little about the hidden station. Unlike now, they can successfully get on the train and kill the blonde second generation 001. In the first act, he and Bai Ye did not obtain the Thriller's authorization code, and did not even understand what the authorization code was. They could not even enter the station and get on the train.
They could only lie in ambush in a corner. Su Yi was protected by Bai Ye in the arms of the first week. He watched those people get on the train smoothly and the train took them away.
After that, Su Yi and Bai Ye began to take this ring-city train again and again. After countless deductions and calculations, he discovered that there was a singularity in the mathematical model of this train track.
In mathematical concepts, singularities are usually called undefined points, often appearing in abnormal collections. The definition of singularities in physics is more specific, believing that the starting point of the Big Bang is a singularity, all time and space expand from this point, and all known physical laws are invalid at the singularity.
If this singularity on the train track also has similar properties and is a collection of all anomalies that can invalidate all the code rules in the [Thriller Script - Murder] world, then it means that this place is likely to have some kind of system bug, or it may be a backdoor left by the program architect.
Su Yi converted the singularity he calculated into coordinates on the map. The location was between the 2nd and 3rd stations, which was the curve of the railway that passed through the Sky Tower.
However, people are not allowed to get off the train midway, and those who force themselves to get off will be bounced back by the train code. The fields on both sides of the tracks are restricted areas, and once you get close, you will be warned by the system. Violators will be put to death, so they cannot get close to the tracks.
When Bai Ye was taking another train tour, he looked at the Sky Tower outside the window and suddenly had an idea:
"If you jump from there, can you land here?"
Su Yi immediately began free fall calculations in his mind and quickly verified that this landing plan was feasible. They climbed up the sky tower.
High in the sky, on the edge of the iron tower, the strong wind blew across his cheeks. Su Yi squinted his eyes, and his black hair was blown into a mess. Bai Ye, who was beside him, was carrying a parachute bag. He put his arms around the back of his head, and ran his fingertips through the soft hair:
"Are you ready?"
Su Yi nodded.
With their fingers intertwined, they took one step forward, then another...
With their hands clasped together and their foreheads touching, Su Yi closed his eyes and leaped from thousands of meters in the air with Bai Ye.
The whistling wind blows past my ears, in front of me is the vast sky, below me is the distant land, and the winding railway tracks extend all the way to the horizon.
Bai Ye hugged Su Yi tightly, his iron arms emitting warm body temperature. He accurately controlled the timing of his fall, opened the parachute in mid-air, adjusted the angle, and landed steadily near the bend.
After landing safely, they conducted a thorough search of the entire section of track, but found nothing except the numbered sleepers on the track.
That night, Bai Ye built a temporary hut on the railroad tracks using special invisible materials he collected in the copy to prevent others from seeing them, and used a suspension device to suspend the hut in mid-air.
Su Yi was resting in the suspended wooden house, waiting and observing. There must be some abnormality here.
When the next train passed this bend, Su Yi in the suspended wooden house heard a buzzing sound——
The buzzing sound gradually increased and finally disappeared, indicating the pattern of the Fibonacci sequence. Su Yi quickly calculated the answer corresponding to each numbered sleeper.
After the train left, he and Bai Ye stood on the corresponding sleepers of the track with the answers, but nothing happened.
All of Su Yi's calculation results were recorded on the wall of the cabin. He went back and verified them repeatedly, and there was absolutely no mistake.
The question is: after calculating the correct answer, how should it be used?
In the first week, Su Yi had no idea what to do. They tried many methods, such as writing the answers on each sleeper and waiting for the next train to pass by, but still nothing happened.
Today, Su, who is in the backdoor, can clearly understand the rules of use. Before the death of the first generation 001, he also told the invisible man the two key points of opening the backdoor. The first point is that only very smart people can open the backdoor. The second point is that Thriller cannot open the backdoor because it is difficult for people to overcome real fear.
It is not enough to just calculate the Fibonacci sequence. You have to actually lie on the railroad tracks, facing the speeding train, and only then can you open the backdoor at the critical moment of life and death.
None of the cowardly Thrillers has the courage to face death. As one of them, the first generation 001 knows their habits best and cannot overcome the fear of death in his bones. No matter how smart he is, he will not risk lying on the tracks and letting the train hit him in order to find a possible backdoor.
The first generation 001 placed this hint in a high-difficulty copy, where the player had to pass the level in a closed train. There was a painting at the rear of the train, depicting a man lying on the track who received a gift from God when he was about to be crushed to death by a train.
Players who entered this dungeon thought that the painting had some deep meaning and tried to find corresponding hints, but found nothing. In the end, everyone agreed that this was just a decorative painting that was simply meant to mislead people.
In the first round, Su Yi had not played this copy before, but Bai Ye had. He looked at the railway tracks in front of him and had an idea in his mind.
The next morning, the sun shone in from the window and a new train was about to arrive. Su Yi opened his eyes from the small wooden house. He had a new idea last night and now he wanted to verify it.
There are a total of 13 numbered sleepers on the curved track, and the buzzing sound occurs when the train is about to enter the curve, and the time before the train reaches the numbered sleepers is very short.
Su Yi was also thinking, the prompt time is so short, does it mean that the answer must be given in an instant? They had time to write the answer on the sleepers after the train left, so it was useless.
If the singularity here can really open something like a backdoor, then is there a time limit for the opening condition? During the time when the train passes through these 13 numbered sleepers, the four elements of people, trains, rails, and the correct answer need to exist at the same time.
That is to say, one must risk lying on the railroad tracks to express the answer to one's own calculation.
Su Yi got up from the bed and tried to open the small wooden door as usual. He pulled it and there was a click. The door frame moved and the door trembled, but it could not be opened.
It was so strange. Su Yi pulled the door again, and the door frame made a banging sound. It really couldn't be opened. He was locked inside!
"…Bai Ye, Bai Ye?"
Su Yi called out, and suddenly a bad premonition surged in his heart. He looked out the window, and the green grass on the field rolled in green waves. In the distant sky, a new train was approaching.
His heart was sinking as he watched his chest drop. Su Yi immediately turned on his light screen to contact Bai Ye. After less than two rings, the call was picked up by the other end.
"Bai Ye! Where are you?"
Su Yi asked anxiously, but all he got in response was a long silence.
From the silence, Su Yi already knew where he was. Bai Ye was lying on the railroad tracks!
Right below the floating cabin, he couldn't see him unless he could open the door and get out.
"You...get up! Come up and open the door! What the hell are you doing?"
Su Yi didn't know how Bai Ye knew what he was thinking, and he took this risky attempt on his behalf early in the morning!
Bai Ye laughed. He held the mobile phone-like communication prop close to his ear to listen to Su Yi's voice and replied:
"Don't worry, it's okay. I've downloaded many copies to find you before, including a train copy that says people who lie on the tracks will receive a gift from God."
"How can you be sure that the train copy you downloaded before is related to the current track?" Su Yi scolded him, "It is very likely that the two have no logical connection at all! What are you lying there for? Come back here!"
Bai Ye was rarely disobedient. He lay quietly on the railroad sleeper, feeling the ground shaking faintly on his back and the speeding train approaching.
"Su Yi, if I don't lock the door, are you going to take the risk and lie down?" Bai Ye said:
"Didn't we agree at the beginning that you would be in charge of the brain, and I would be in charge of the rest of the work of killing monsters and enemies and taking risks. How could you steal my job? Besides, we players can't access this train code, and if we really drive over, we will pass through it."
Su Yi: "Who can guarantee that the train will pass through? This location is a singularity! Any rules at the singularity may be invalid!"
Assuming that expressing the correct result in the correct way at the singularity can obtain God's gift, such as a backdoor, then if one tries to open the backdoor in the wrong way at the singularity to seize God's gift, won't there be a punishment?
What if the punishment was to be run over by a train? Su Yi couldn't even imagine such a scene. How painful would Bai Ye be?
With his delicate hands trembling slightly, Su Yi tightly grasped the door handle that he couldn't open, and tried his best to persuade Bai Ye to give up:
"Even if everything goes well and you successfully enter a place like the backdoor, but I can't get in, can you modify the code in it yourself? Come back quickly! The car is coming!"
The train in the distance blew its whistle, and it sounded a lot closer than before. Su Yi's heart suddenly tightened, but Bai Ye was still lying on the track, smiling as if nothing had happened:
"Honey, didn't you notice that there's a little thing on your screen?"
Su Yi turned his head to look at his light screen. Bai Ye was lying on the railway tracks, so anxious that he didn't notice the details. A small lock icon appeared in the upper right corner of the light screen. Su Yi clicked it and a prompt popped up:
[Synthesis props: parent-child lock, bound]
"What is this?" Su Yi pressed, "Bai Ye, what do you want to do? No matter what, you have to get up first. The train..."
The speeding train swallowed up the remaining section of the road bit by bit. The green grass beside the rails bent in the wind, and the gravel beside the sleepers began to vibrate.
"I have bound our player codes." Bai Ye said, his voice light and airy, as if he was lying on the sofa and chatting about how nice the weather is today.
"I've been to so many dungeons, and I didn't accumulate all that experience in vain."
The parent-child lock is an item that Bai Ye obtained in a certain copy. It is not a reward from any copy, nor does it belong to any system mall. It will not be supervised by the [Horror Script Killing] light screen system. This item is synthesized by the player independently and is a prop made by a mother for her daughter.
After the parent-child lock is tied, the two will share each other's status. If the daughter dies, the mother will also die, sharing life and death together.
But on the other hand, if the mother sacrifices herself, the daughter on the other end of the parent-child lock will be safe.
However, before the mother had the chance to put the parent-child lock on her daughter, she was attacked by monsters in the copy. Before she died, Bai Ye promised to take her daughter through the copy safely. In exchange, he wanted the parent-child lock item.
At that time, Bai Ye thought that maybe one day, he and Su Yi would be able to use it.
There is no biological death in [Thriller Script Killing]. The parent-child lock achieves "living and dying together" by sharing the player's code status. Bai Ye planned that if there really is a so-called backdoor, his code would enter it, and Su Yi's code would also enter synchronously because of the parent-child lock.
If he unfortunately died, Su Yi could escape. If nothing happened, the train would pass through him and Su Yi would be safe in the cabin.
"The car is coming."
After Bai Ye finished talking about the parent-child lock, he glanced at the numbers in his palm. He took a cheat sheet and wrote down the answer that Su Yi had calculated. The string of numbers was too long and he was afraid of making a mistake.
When he raised his hand, Bai Ye discovered that his wrist had been shaking and his palms were full of cold sweat.
The small stones around me were bouncing violently, the ground was shaking continuously, and the roar of the train came from the rails.
The phone was still talking to Su Yi. Bai Ye tried hard to control his vocal cords and a "relaxed" tone came out of his throat.
After he finished speaking, he swallowed secretly, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. Bai Ye clenched his palms. It turned out that he was not really afraid of death. When it really came to this moment, the biological instinct made his whole body tense.
Woo——
The whistle was close to his ears. Su Yi looked out of the window. The long train body blocked the Sky Tower in the air. The front of the train was like a high-speed drill, rushing towards the curve of the railway track!
"Bai Ye, Bai Ye..." Su Yi kept calling this name, as if he wanted to hold on to the breath of the person on the other end of the phone that could disappear at any time, "Let's not look for it anymore, okay? Let's not take any risks, let's go look for other clues somewhere else..."
The singularity here was calculated by him, and the possibility of the existence of something like a backdoor was just his own speculation, and no one could guarantee that such a thing really existed. What if... what if he was wrong, what if there was nothing here, and just because of this, Bai Ye lay on the track and was hit by the train...
Su Yi didn't dare to think further. He felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was not the physical pain of an illness, but it was like the pain of a towel being wrung out of water by a pair of hands. The damp water vapor filled his chest, lingering all the way and wetting his eyelashes.
The steel wheels of the train scraped across the rails, and a huge roar came from outside the window of the wooden house. Su Yi shuddered and used all his strength to knock on the door. The door frame made a clanging sound, but with his frail body, this small wooden door was as strong as a copper wall and iron wall.
There was no way he could open this wooden door. If he had Bai Ye's strength, he could just knock the door open even if it was locked. He wouldn't be trapped here and unable to do anything! Su Yi hated his sick body for the umpteenth time in his life.
The noise from the speeding train was very loud, but Bai Ye could only hear different subtle sounds coming from the other end of the phone. Su Yi's voice... sounded like he was choking.
"You... cried?"
Bai Ye was stunned and panicked, forgetting everything about life and death: "What's wrong? I'll be fine, you... you... don't cry, if you cry, I want to go up and wipe your tears."
A soft and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, as if she was trying to hold back her tears: "Then...you? Come up!"
Bai Ye felt distressed and helpless after hearing this. He lay firmly on the tracks because he believed in Su Yi's calculations.
This is a singularity, there must be something elusive here, plus the painting in the train copy, why do they have to hang a decorative painting that has nothing to do with the content of the copy there? There must be a metaphor.
If he could really get into the backdoor, then what would the risk he took be worth?
"You know, right? The timeline is different for me and for you." Bai Ye said as he lay on the shaking rails, looking at the white clouds floating in the blue sky:
"My lying here is not entirely a risk, I also have selfish motives."
Because of his superconducting brain, Su Yi will always remain young in the virtual world, but Bai Ye will become older like other ordinary people who enter the [Thriller Script Killing], or experience danger in the copy and die unfortunately.
He couldn't always be with Su Yi.
This singularity is his only hope at the moment. If the backdoor is really opened, it is equivalent to being able to hack into the system background. Even if he cannot destroy [Thriller Script? Kill] in one blow, at least he can change his player code directly from the background, allowing him to resist the erosion of the virtual timeline and have more life to meet Su Yi again.
With the receiver against his ear, Bai Ye held the phone tightly, as if he wanted to keep Su Yi's voice on the other end of the phone to himself. He suddenly felt a violent tremor on his back, as if a major earthquake was coming. The surrounding rails and sleepers were shaking, and the green grass beside the tracks was shivering with its head down.
He knew that the final moment was approaching.
"Don't cry, Su Yi, this is not the end."
As if he wanted to comfort his beloved one one last time, Bai Ye opened the player on his light screen.
"Remember? We played it together in high school."
The piano and violin played together, and the melodious melody of Canon flowed out from the other end of the phone. Su Yi was stunned and heard Bai Ye say:
"Do you know why I chose this song?"
Su Yi didn't have any special feelings about Canon before, as it was just one of the world's classic music pieces, but he remembered what Bai Ye said at that time, because Canon can be played over and over again without stopping, it is a special music playing technique.
The train was approaching, and amidst the huge rumble, the Fibonacci reminder buzzing sound began to sound. Bai Ye's ears were buzzing, and he opened his mouth and said the words he had not said to Su Yi when he was fifteen years old:
"Because I want this to never end...with you."
Swoosh——
A train sped past the window, and the front of the train ran over the tracks.
"white night!"
Su Yi called out, but there was no response from the other side.
The canon came to an abrupt end, and the last trace of sound echoed in the air, swallowed up by the roaring wheels.
That moment was so long that Su Yi would remember it for the rest of his life. He seemed to have suffocated and lost the ability to breathe, his fingers unconsciously clenching his chest.
My vision blurred and the water vapor turned into cold beads, flowing down my cheeks and dripping onto the wooden floor, forming tiny flowers.
Until blank pixels grew out of the water, covering the entire wooden house little by little, and the whole body turned into a snow-white space. A door stood up in front of him, and Su Yi came back to his senses. In the first round, he heard a cheerful prompt sound:
【Wee! 】
【Welcome to open the backdoor】
