Chapter 2 Your presence is insufficient, please recharge!
What Jonai noticed was a strange panel that appeared in front of him and could only be seen by him.
It is not so much a panel, but a simple transparent progress bar.
A line of small words is marked with light white above the progress bar.
“Sense of presence remains: 68 points.”
While seeing the numbers, Jonai couldn't help but reach out and rub his temples, sighing in entanglement.
"Oh... it's really a big deal..."
The first time this panel that only Qiao Nai could see appeared was when he was placed in a corpse transport truck at the crematorium suburban city Z three days ago, and was about to be thrown into the incinerator and burned into ashes in a few minutes.
Jonay would appear in that kind of place, for the simple reason:
Strictly speaking, he is now considered a "non-existent person".
...
"The 18-year-old boy died in a volunteer rescue, and the driver who caused the accident illegally drove and escaped from drunk driving"
——Z City Third Transportation Committee reminds you that there are tens of millions of roads, the first is safety, driving is not standardized, and relatives are crying!
...
This young man who died in the headlines of Z City Daily three days ago was Jonai himself.
It's funny to say that Jonai would know this news, or he saw it in the newspaper walking in the guard room when he left the crematorium on the outskirts of City Z.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Qiao Nai didn't leave much impression of the accident. She only remembered that after he drove the girl on the road, there was an impact far beyond the upper limit of the human body's perception ability.
The throttle kicked to the bottom, the speed of the car exceeded 80 miles, and the mood was like flying... Sorry, I got the script wrong... It should be that the drunk driver was not focused, and coupled with the impact of speeding, the truck that rushed forward hit Qiao Nai who saved people.
Critical strike, fatal strike, ignoring defense, real damage!
No human could survive this level of impact, and Jonai was no exception.
When the police car and ambulance arrived, the test results were very straightforward:
Dead on the spot!
To be honest, when Qiao Nai saw the description of his own "sacrifice" in the newspaper, she was also a little distressed.
After all, no one will be idle and think about what he looks like when he dies!
As for Jonah's ability to "wake up" a few minutes before being sent to burn ashes, there are naturally special reasons.
As he resurrected from the dead, there is another panel that only Jonai can see:
“Existence panel!”
After Qiao Nai carefully tentatively and researched over the past few days, he has now almost understood the significance and function of this panel.
The car accident is a fact, and there is no problem with the news reports in City Z. Qiao Nai is indeed "dead" at this moment.
Although he can still move around the world, he no longer "exist".
And more importantly, since the moment Qiao Nai woke up three days ago, all his actions will constantly consume the presence on the panel!
He climbed up from the corpse transport cart openly, played the incredible "Resurrection of the Dead" performance, left in front of the crematorium workers, and even walked away with a newspaper before leaving!
These actions caused no disturbance, but the price Jonah paid was that the value of presence on his panel fell from 240 to 200 points.
...
In the next period of time, no matter what Qiao Nai did, his remaining "presence" was constantly decreasing!
Take a ride back to City Z and consume 10 points of presence!
I normally operate outdoors for half an hour and consume 5 points of presence!
Go to an internet cafe in City Z to board the computer, and go to the temporary account from the network management office, which consumes 3 points of presence!
Even if Qiao Nai does nothing, staying in a corner where no one pays attention to the Internet cafe, he will consume his presence at a rate of 1 o'clock per hour!
Only when the sense of presence on the panel was consumed to less than 100 points, Qiao Nai barely understood the meaning of this value.
A book whose real name is "Notes of Funerals" once described, "The deaths known to relatives, friends and neighbors are social deaths."
The so-called social death, to put it simply, means that a person's identity is forgotten by others, that is, it will no longer exist.
Since the resurrection of the dead, everything he did reflects the fact that he "existence".
Compared with news reports, or the world's determination of Jonai's "death", this is undoubtedly a huge paradox!
He is dead, but he will still move in the world!
The condition that makes this paradox stable is the presence panel that appears in front of Qiao Nai.
If you want to continue to maintain this special state, you have to consume Qiao Nai's sense of existence and rationalize the fact that he "existence"!
...
Just think about it briefly and you will understand that when the remaining sense of existence on the panel is consumed, Qiao Nai's "existence" will become an unreasonable situation.
Everything in the material world follows reasonable laws, and anything that goes against this will "disappear".
Because of this, when Jonai realized these things, there was only one way left before him:
If you want to continue to live, you have to keep his presence at all costs!
...
However, thinking is one thing, but how to do it is another.
Now, no matter what Jonah does or even does nothing, he will always consume his presence.
Under such conditions, not to mention increasing the presence, how to maintain it is a huge problem.
Thinking about and studying the existence of things took Qiao Nai two days, and during this period, his presence dropped to less than 50 points.
If you can't think of a solution, you will have less than the last two days of spending 1 point of presence per hour.
Fortunately, before his "presence" was exhausted, Qiao Nai finally thought of a way to break the deadlock!
"Yes, my existence is a paradox in itself."
"Theoretically, if you want to continue to live, you have to improve my presence."
"But no matter what I do, it will consume the sense of presence first, which will undoubtedly have a counterproductive effect."
"but!"
"The virtual network just fits the logic of this paradox!"
"In the world of other silly netizens, improve the presence of my virtual account!"
"However, they don't know what I'm in reality, so the remaining sense of existence will not decrease!"
At that time, Qiao Nai had no time to think about other methods for the remaining sense of existence, so he could only implement this most feasible solution!
Success means survival, failure means death!
Log in to the online MOBA game "League of Legends", which is relatively popular in China. After completing a battle, Qiao Nai's remaining sense of presence returned to 68 points, he also found an unexpected surprise.
A special ability that belongs to him, a "non-existent person"!
