Doug decides to enter the virtual world again. This time, he did not set a time limit, and the frequent shuttle bothered the bank staff. Just now he was still participating in a dance competition with his girlfriend, and the next second his body was controlled by Doug. As he learned more about the underlying code of the virtual world, he thought about Fuller's genome, where he might find some clues.
However, the other party's memory has been deleted by the program, and he can't remember who Doug in front of him is. But Fuller's genome was familiar to Doug. And he told Doug that he often dreamed of having fun in a hotel. Doug immediately realized the truth after listening: there were loopholes in the original virtual world. Although they delete memories after they occupy consciousness, they still leave afterimages of people in the virtual world. This residual memory can give them a sense of déjà vu, but they can't be sure that it really happened.
To remind the other party of who he gave the letter to, Doug took him to that hotel to remember. The hooded gene body never thought that he was still a big customer here, and every dancer knew herself. Doug did not explain the reason to him, but urged him to quickly recall the envelope.
Sure enough, the other party really remembered that memory. He did give the letter to the bartender here. The bartender saw that the parties were correcting, and he had to confess everything to Doug. It turned out that the letter mentioned the end of the world, as long as it is a virtual world, there will be an end.
At first, the bartender didn't believe it after reading it, he didn't believe that his world was virtual, but he witnessed the personality transformation of the bank clerk and he had to doubt the world. So he drove west that day, and the further he went that day, the more wrong he went, until he saw the so-called end of the world. It turns out that this world really does not exist. The life he struggles with is an illusion, the bartender's worldview and beliefs are completely shattered, and he asks Doug why he manipulates them.
In a fit of rage, the bartender shoots Doug, who wants to kill the so-called creator with his own hands. Seeing that Doug was about to die tragically in the virtual world, the real engineer quickly pulled him back.
This incident not only collapsed the bartender's worldview, but also made Doug question his behavior. They have to shut down this virtual world. This is not a virtual game at all, they are all real people, and they are all intelligent beings with self-awareness. He finally understood why Jenny was shutting down the project. But is that really the case? Immediately afterwards, Doug came to the company building to look for Jenny, but by this time Jenny had long disappeared. The police didn't find Jenny's information in France, but Doug had already kept a hand. He sent someone to follow Jenny's driving route. After various clue investigations, Doug finally found the other party.
However, this Jenny is like a changed person, she has changed from a rich family to a cashier, and her appearance and behavior have also undergone a great change. She couldn't remember the slightest memory of Doug, and Doug was completely dumbfounded. However, the other party's words completely destroyed his confidence. The cashier told Doug that there seemed to be a sense of déjà vu between them, a phrase that made him feel chills down his back. To test his guess, Doug, like the bartender, drove west.
He misunderstood the meaning of Fuller's letter, which turned out to be referring not to the end of the virtual world, but to the world they were in. Doug finally understood how the bartender felt, and his faith and life collapsed in an instant. At this time, Jenny also called, she was obviously from the upper world. It turns out that there are thousands of worlds like Doug. However, the people in the upper world did not expect that the humans of the Doug world actually created a virtual world.
It's like installing another virtual machine inside a virtual machine. The people of the upper world feared that they would awaken, so they sent someone to kill Fuller, who knew the truth. And the man who killed Fuller was Doug.
Jenny doesn't know how to comfort him because she knows that Doug is just a virtual character. Jenny tells Doug that his body is controlled by her husband, who killed Fuller. That's why Doug feels familiar with Jenny, because her husband has completely fallen for it. He treats the virtual world as his private paradise, and even connects genetic bodies to kill and set fire, completely treating the virtual world as an open game.
Jenny and Doug's philosophy coincide. They all believe that people in the virtual world are also life. Jenny was fascinated by Doug's charisma. At this point, another engineer was ready to see for himself before the project closed. However, when he connects to the genosum, the bartender in the virtual world, he suddenly finds himself standing in the middle of the road, and the next second he is hit and killed by a truck on the spot. His consciousness instantly returned to reality.
However, unexpectedly, this returning consciousness turned out to be a bartender. It turns out that as long as the controller dies unexpectedly in the virtual world, the characters of the virtual world will occupy the body. Security guards soon noticed the engineer's unusual behavior. He quickly informed Doug. When Doug arrived at the scene, he found that the engineer in front of him was already watching TV. He told Doug that the real world was so wonderful, and Doug heard his identity from his words.
However, they are all people in the virtual world, so why not live in the virtual world? Doug tells the bartender the cruel truth, but the bartender insists on looking at the virtual host, and he wants to see the machine that created his own eyes. At this moment, a burst of blue light suddenly flashed in Doug's eyes, and Jenny's husband had entered his body. The bartender who had just learned the truth was counter-killed.
Jenny's husband also came this time for another purpose, that is, to kill his wife who was sentenced to himself, and he could not accept that Jenny liked a virtual character. The cornered Jenny did not disconnect, but closed her eyes and waited for death. Fortunately, Officer Mai arrived in time and killed Jenny's husband with one shot, and his consciousness in the virtual world disappeared. It turns out that Officer Mai also knows about the existence of the virtual world, and he tells Jenny that he hopes that she will unplug the power of this world when she goes back and not disturb their lives in the future. Doug's consciousness has changed like the bartender, he actually traveled to the real world, and he managed to occupy Jenny's husband's body. Immediately afterwards, Jenny also woke up.
In fact, Jenny already knew the rules of the game, and she immediately took Doug to see the outside world, because that was the reality he dreamed of.
However, is this really the case? Perhaps only by being in it can we truly understand the truth of this world.
