Doctor Yi said urgently, "No, it wasn't an illusion. Illusions were merely one way information manifested physically. Put simply, you could think of Delusion Eye as world-class programming and modeling software.
The characters and scenery in virtual game worlds were essentially generated through code using software like this.
The difference was that Delusion Eye programmed the real world, but its power was insufficient to truly rewrite reality, so everything it created was illusory.
It could 'write' (create), 'delete' (erase), and click Run (materialize).
Take me, for example. Delusion Eye had written an incredibly complex package of information describing a complete human being. This information package contained every detail about me—my appearance, memories, personality, abilities, and so on.
Then, once my information package was materialized, I became a person who could speak, walk, and think."
Bai Ye suddenly understood. He did not quite understand information packages, but from the sound of it, wasn't that just a folder on a computer?
Doctor Yi was essentially a folder named "Yi Jingran" inside the computer that was Delusion Eye, containing all the data about this Fake Person.
Then, as long as Delusion Eye dragged that folder into reality, it would generate the Fake Person in the real world.
That was how Fake People worked. The previous frozen wasteland had worked the same way—simply create a folder containing all the information about that icy world, then drag it into reality.
So, when Qilin erased Doctor Yi, it was essentially deleting the folder named "Yi Jingran."
The larger the folder, the slower it was deleted. On an ordinary computer, a deletion progress bar would pop up.
Doctor Yi was becoming more solid now because the Information Contamination had poured a massive amount of information into his folder, causing the computer to delete it more and more
