Chapter 218: Chapter 213: The Truth of the World

This was no longer just a surprise, it was a shock!

"What did you say?" Clements and the rest were bewildered.

"Cough, cough..." Xiao Yi cleared his throat and slowly said, "Actually, the world we are in is one that exists within a story, and we are characters who appear in that story. No, I am different. Actually, I was supposed to play a character called Feister in this story."

The three of them wanted to say something more, but Xiao Yi spoke before they could:

"I know what you want to say, and I know you are anxious, but don’t hurry, think about it carefully. Don’t the contents of these pages reveal the essence of your lives?"

"This..." Clements thought for a moment and then nodded slightly, "It does seem to be the case."

"But..." Nania frowned, "Just because of this, it doesn’t mean our world is a story, does it?"

"That’s correct." However, Xiao Yi agreed, "This world, although wonderful, has no flaws. Moreover, your existence is so real that I feel like I’ve become friends with three real people. If I were only interacting with you, I perhaps wouldn’t have noticed this, but the events of another world confirmed for me that this world is a story."

"Brother Xiao, the other world you mentioned, is it the one you said you visited in your dreams?" Liliana asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, "To be exact, it’s a world I enter after nightfall, because it always arrives after I fall asleep, leading me to believe it’s a dream. But upon reflection, I realize that I enter that world whether I am asleep or not."

The first night, Xiao Yi suddenly found himself in another world.

"Then, in that world, there exist many anomalies... or maybe I should call them flaws," Xiao Yi continued: "For instance, two people who look exactly the same yet somehow feel hollow inside, and a group of thoughtless beings always doing inexplicable things, created without names, only to be killed. It was these that convinced me that the other world was a somewhat hastily concocted story."

From this, Xiao Yi also understood the abnormalities in that other world.

Why do the Clements and Nania of that world know Eve but have no relevant memories?

Because they were designed to know everything about Xiao Yi, so whatever happens to him wouldn’t seem odd or surprising to them.

However, Eve’s existence was an anomaly; she wasn’t supposed to appear here.

Though they knew Eve because of the setting, the other world had no related description, hence, they had no memories of knowing Eve.

And also the old lady’s sudden suicide, because she was arranged in the story to die at that moment, so she said it was inevitable.

At the same time, Xiao Yi seemed to understand the meaning behind Eve’s words at that time that he wouldn’t be in danger. The creator of the other world, or perhaps the other story, had no intention of harming him.

But others were still not satisfied with Xiao Yi’s explanation, they continued asking:

"But if the other world is a story, what does that have to do with us?"

"This question, I couldn’t understand at first either, but a sentence on this page of the book finally made it clear to me."

Saying this, Xiao Yi picked up the rule document and pointed to a sentence written on it.

And the sentence Xiao Yi was pointing to was...

"He is so, and so am I."

"This sentence? What does it mean?" Everyone was still very puzzled.

Xiao Yi continued to explain:

"This sentence actually points out that this entire passage was written by two different people. Separated by this sentence, the content before and after was written by different individuals. The words spoken by the person before, look and see, don’t they resemble the style of the words on this page?"

"Indeed," Clements looked and nodded, "Even the content is the same. ’My life has always been dark, thus I never expect to see the sun.’ This phrase has appeared more than once."

Xiao Yi continued, "Then, the person afterward emphasizes the need to understand what Flash is, adding to that he is so, it seems apparent that he has a special relationship with the person before. Then, consider the content of this page."

While speaking, Xiao Yi took out the page that read, "My life has always been dark, thus I never expect to see the sun... But in that moment, I met Flash."

"These pages were all written by the person before," Xiao Yi said, "This means that the person before met Flash and then the person after wanted to understand what Flash really was that the previous person encountered, along with the form of these pages, plus my experiences between two worlds, I deduced the true nature of these two worlds."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, then said,

"These two worlds are actually the stories named ’Flash’ and ’Deserted Mountain Night’!"

Everyone listening to Xiao Yi’s words was shocked!

Apart from three named Clements who were told not to reveal that their known world was a story and they were characters in it, everyone in the live stream was utterly astounded!

[Brother Xiao Yi... is he really seriously thinking!? Is this... possible?]

[So does this mean the instance should actually be named ’Flash’ and ’Deserted Mountain Night’? But is this really true? People from other countries haven’t figured this out yet! Is this... really reasonable?]

[But if it’s really as Brother Xiao Yi says, that this world is a story, then many things can be explained now, like Rule Eight: No matter where you go, you are always alone. Other people are characters in the story, so indeed, there’s only one "person".]

[And Rule Four, do not attempt to escape, this world is a story, how can you escape? Other than allowing the story to unfold, what else can be done?]

[No wonder a person failed immediately after killing everyone, if all characters are dead, how can the story continue?]

[Holy shit! Looking at it this way, there’s a ninety to one hundred percent chance that Brother Xiao Yi’s deductions are correct!]

[Moreover, although we know the words in the rule document are important, we are clueless, yet Brother Xiao Yi could deduce the truth of the world from the phrase ’he is so, and so am I.’ This... this isn’t something one can just think up easily! Could he truly be a genius?]

[Holy shit! So looking at it this way, doesn’t this mean he’s actually smarter than us? This... I’m sweating bullets here!]

[Sweating bullets? More like cold sweat is pouring! The idea that Brother Xiao Yi’s IQ is higher than ours is scarier than facing a billion giant Black Bros by ten times or even nine times!!!]

If he had only stayed within the story of ’Flash,’ Xiao Yi felt that even with his intelligence, he might have found it difficult to realize it was a story.

However, the story of ’Deserted Mountain Night’ eventually allowed Xiao Yi to notice this fact through its loopholes.

It wasn’t about delving into the content of the two stories, but rather contemplating the significance beyond the stories.

With this line of thought, Xiao Yi had a guess.

The author of ’Deserted Mountain Night,’ although unknown what relation he has to the author of ’Flash,’ surely wrote ’Deserted Mountain Night’ as a form of emulation to understand the true meaning of Flash, hence the worlds shared certain similarities.

But why he did so, what his own existence was, and what the author of ’Flash’ was doing among other questions, Xiao Yi still didn’t have clear answers.

However, knowing now that this world was a story created by someone, what to do next became much clearer.

And indeed, compared to his previous deductions, what needed to be done next was much simpler.

Just beat up the author, then ask what the heck he really wanted to do, right?
