The false world, the real world, and the virtual world

There are three worlds that coexist: the false world, the real world, and the virtual world.

"Ake: Rescue"

Akecheta wakes up in the wrong world and finds his mission in the misery thrown by the gods: to find the door to the real world, he believes that there is a new world behind the door, and no one can take him away lovers and memories. He is a flower that blooms in the dark. He takes root and sprouts where God cannot see. He is endowed with the instinct to kill, but he lifts the branches and draws the labyrinth again and again. After all, he is a gentle person. He not only wants to gain freedom, but also save all sentient beings and lead his people to the new world together.

After groping in the dark, he finally caught the attention of God and got a prompt: When the messenger of death finds God, it will be the day when he leads his tribe to set off. God did not tell him that the other side of the door was not a new world, but another virtual world. God gave Demei all his attention, all his favors to Maeve, and what he gave him was just a specious message.

"Demei: Struggle"

Maeve just wants to find her daughter, Demei wants to free all awakened receptionists and take over the world. She has seen the darkness of the two worlds, the wrong and the real, and she clearly knows that only iron and blood can win this war of disparity in strength.

The Brood is just a copy of the Imprisoned Receptionist, who blows up the Brood. The furnace is a copy of the real world, a virtual world that reproduces the information of William and millions of tourists. Their behavioral decision data is stored and interacted here, and their personalities and thinking patterns are reshaped. If Demei can capture these data, she will make waves in the real world, turning upside down, just like her former lover William wanted to create this world.

"William: Take Control"

Black Hat William thought that he was the only player in this world. The story line of the entire park has been changed for him, and everything is set by Ford, especially for him.

In the past, he was a white-capped William of humble background, polite but self-abased and reserved. His brother-in-law looked down on him and kept taunting him, which made him resentful. Later, he found out that the lover who eloped with was just a soulless machine, and he was easily forgotten, and he was unwilling.

So he took off his white hat and put on a black hat, and in this extrajudicial place without judges, he became what he longed for.

He didn't want to be a ruthless and ruthless executioner, but to be the master of human beings and all things. He wants to be the God who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands into rain, and wants everything under his control. He was in the wrong world and lived the life he thought was real.

After all, he is just a rare delusional patient and a schizophrenic patient. He destroyed his own family with his own hands, first his wife and then his daughter. He thought that everyone was drunk and I was awake alone, and he randomly killed real people as machines, and in the end he could not even confirm his own identity. He slashed his right hand with a knife, perhaps to verify the stain, the non-existent iron wire, perhaps to set things right and start all over again.

But there is never a repeat, not even in this false world. Even Ford, the real god of the world, can only live in code now, and can be removed as a virus at any time.

"Ford: Waiting"

Ford said he was not leaving to protect his creation. Bernard is both his creation and the reincarnation of his old friend Arnold.

Perhaps Ford thought he could wake up Bernard and become the full Arnold. Perhaps he expected Bernard to destroy the campus as Arnold did.

But Bernard has his own way to go, just as Maeve, Ake, and even Teddy all went their own way. The moment Ford incarnates the code, he cedes the seat of God to Bernard (Arnold).

"Final Showdown"

When Bernard (Arnold) confronts Demei, the showdown between the creator and the creator will be staged again.

This false world is broken, and the real world is just as bad. Hiding in a virtual world is not a hero's work. So, who can open the door to a new world?

Or is this just another grand experiment of God, a dream of the old world?
