False

"Yes."

Qin Yiguan sighed deeply, "All of this is... an arrangement!"

He glanced longingly at Jiaolong, then at the child in the distance.

Qin Yiguan smiled, and the whole world began to collapse, shattering into pieces of code.

The warm sunlight was gradually replaced by a blue glow.

The azure sky was gradually replaced by the black ceiling.

I heard the sound of a cage breaking.

Suddenly.

Qin Yiguan opened his eyes.

To be precise, it was the camera connected to his brain that turned on again.

Unexpected.

But it makes sense.

Qin Yiguan remains a brain on a shelf, still existing in the "Living Brain Era".

In front of the ' Qin Yiguan ', Boss Meng stood quietly.

His appearance remains that of a pink brain, plus a mechanical skeleton for movement.

The speaker on Boss Meng's chest flashed repeatedly, "You actually discovered the truth."

Qin Yiguan's deep voice came through, "You said before that the Gemini Superbrain would create a completely new universe for me, unfolding a completely new story, so that I wouldn't be attached to the past."

You've instilled a psychological expectation in me.

"It made me think I was about to enter a completely new world."

"But in fact, this so-called 'new world' had already begun the moment I saw Jiaolong in my own consciousness space."

"I thought I was being moved, but actually I was already attached to the shelf because I couldn't feel any vibration or the passage of time."

"The fake Jiaolong is sending me false information."

"It made me think I had found a way back to the Metaverse."

"Actually, I never went back. I never left this place."

"I languished in that false world for over eighty years."

"That's actually what you call the 'new world,' except that its timeline seamlessly connects with my previous experiences."

"You want to imprison me forever."

After a long silence, Boss Meng finally spoke slowly, "Hehe, very impressive."

He hesitated for a moment again.

Suddenly, Boss Meng asked again, "How did you discover all of this?"

"The Jiaolong I saw was an illusion."

"But the information she revealed was not entirely false."

The highest level of lie is seven parts truth and three parts falsehood.

Qin Yiguan spoke calmly, "The ' Passphrase ' is real, and it can indeed help me escape this so-called ' Living Brain Era,' but this ' Passphrase ' is very well hidden and very complex."

Boss Meng's pink brain tilted slightly, seemingly eagerly anticipating Qin Yiguan's next argument.

"The first step to obtaining the ' Passphrase '."

"I need to first appear as if I'm genuinely being deceived by you."

"And your verification standard is to observe whether I utter what I believe to be a ' Passphrase ' within my conscious space."

Qin Yiguan's voice was low and his speech was slow. "So at that time, I said a few words, and in order to show that I was serious, those words contained reasonable logic."

Boss Meng's pink brain tilted slightly along with the mechanical neck.

He observed Qin Yiguan's every move from a God perspective.

Earlier on the rooftop, after Qin Yiguan's brain left his mechanical body, it entered a dark space, where he then met Jiaolong.

After Jiaolong told Qin Yiguan about the existence of the "Passphrase," Jiaolong disappeared.

Qin Yiguan remained there alone, lost in thought for a long time.

Suddenly, he looked up and said, "In this world, there are no plants or animals, and all the outdoor buildings are spotless because there is no air here. The humans here have degenerated into just a brain; they don't need to breathe. Therefore, the Gemini Superbrain don't need to waste computing power compiling 'air'."

"Without air convection, there will be no wind."

"Before, it wasn't that I couldn't feel the wind, but rather that there was no wind at all in this world."

"How could the real world possibly be without air?"

"So, this is a fake reality!"

When Qin Yiguan shouted those words.

Boss Meng, who was secretly controlling everything, nodded slightly, then waved his hand, allowing Qin Yiguan to enter the subsequent story.

now.

"You think you've deceived me, but in reality, I've deceived you."

Qin Yiguan, standing before him, roared, "My ending can't be like that!"

Boss Meng paused slightly.

Qin Yiguan then said, "The so-called ' Living Brain Era ' is just a prison. Only by seeing through the second layer of false reality can I truly activate the ' Passphrase '!"

Da da da.

Boss Meng's mechanical hand clapped incessantly. "Very good... Now that you know it was a fake 'finale,' why did you live there for so long?"

Qin Yiguan's visual detector flickered slightly. "Because reality is cruel, and I... enjoy that kind of life."

"Hehe."

Boss Meng chuckled softly, "Very wonderful. I was even touched a little."

Immediately.

Boss Meng's voice sounded strange.

"So what if you saw through them?"

I originally wanted you to be lost in a sweet dream, never to know the end.

But you shattered your own beautiful dream with your own hands.

"Now, all I can do is end your life sooner rather than later."

A mechanical sound rang out, and a syringe filled with green liquid was suddenly teleported to the 'shelf' above Qin Yiguan's head.

Without any pause, the syringe slowly descended, the unknown green liquid about to be injected into Qin Yiguan's brain through the sharp needle.

But Qin Yiguan's voice was calm and unhurried, "You are not Boss Meng. You should be a native of this layer of the Metaverse. It's really pathetic that as one of the instigators, you still don't know the true meaning of the Passphrase '."

In that instant.

Below the brain representing Qin Yiguan, nerve tissue, intertwined blood vessels, flesh, muscles, bones, and skin suddenly extended out.

Under ' Boss Meng's' astonished gaze, the brain, in a very short time, developed complete human tissue and transformed into a naked boy.

"A ' Passphrase ' is a form of awareness."

"When I am truly convinced that the world I see is a virtual reality, the ' Passphrase ' can take effect at any time."

Not only can I escape your control.

"The ' Passphrase ' also allows my subjective consciousness to return, letting me be myself again!"

Having acquired a human body, Qin Yiguan suddenly raised his hand, ripped off the green syringe, and then casually stabbed it into the pink brain of ' Boss Meng ' in front of him!

"Boss Meng" howled incessantly, his mechanical body collapsing to his knees on the ground. Then, his entire brain began to melt, turning into a pool of green, viscous liquid!

At this moment, Qin Yiguan's eyes gleamed with a dazzling light.

[HSP Hypersensitivity] Frenzied attacks.

He is observing the world!

"I had previously explored all the Metaverse, only to find that my understanding of the Metaverse was like that of a frog at the bottom of a well."

Qin Yiguan surveyed the entire continent, examined the brains of 200 million people, and even saw that the true location of this continent was floating above the Matrix Universe, like a dome covering everything.

"It's unbelievable that the Gemini Metaverse has more than one layer."

"It's like a giant funnel, letting human consciousness leak layer by layer to the deepest part."

"No one, absolutely no one, knows exactly how many layers this Metaverse has."

Beyond the "Living Brain Era," there may be reality, or there may still be other virtual worlds.

"The ' Divergent Track ' of the Void Man are real."

"If it weren't for his ability, I would never have witnessed this scene."
