Alpha is like the protagonists in RPG games, including Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, etc.
Omega is like a gamer sitting in front of a computer, we call him the otaku Xiaoming. Xiao Ming's purpose is to let the protagonists survive the game and finally win the game.
The program setting of the game itself is that as long as any protagonist dies, a game save that was automatically saved a few minutes ago will be automatically read, so that all the protagonists will be resurrected and their memories will be retained. This is the game's own setting, not the player Xiao Ming actively reads.
Extras other than the protagonist, Li Xiaoyao's aunt, Xiaohuzi, fox spirit, etc., will not retain their memory after reading the archive.
There are more than one protagonists, including Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, etc. Cage is a fake Alpha, the villain who killed Lin Yueru and pretended to be Lin Yueru, sucked her blood and became the protagonist, so every time the fake Lin Yueru died, the game Archives are also automatically read.
With the above concepts, let's take a look:
the pseudo protagonist in the game (fake Lin Yueru, also known as Cage) stimulates the game player Xiao Ming in front of the computer in some way, causing him to die of heart failure, and Xiao Ming's death causes all the protagonists to die ( At this time, fake Lin Yueru lost her role as a protagonist and became an extra because she lost too much blood before and was transfused from the actor's blood, so she didn't die).
The blood that Xiao Ming shed after his death was absorbed by the fake Lin Yueru, who regained his protagonist status.
The death of the protagonists caused the game to automatically read the archives, and the fake Lin Yueru De, who regained the identity of the protagonists, has retained his memory.
*So it can be seen that there is a delay time between the protagonist's death and the time to read the archive. During this delay time, the fake Lin Yueru just turned into the protagonist again, so that she can retain her memory. Otherwise, she will be like other extras, although she returns to Once upon a time, but there will be no memory.
*Actually, I personally think the explanation of "delay time" is far-fetched, and I prefer to believe that: after Xiao Ming's death, the protagonists do not die because of Xiao Ming's death. Fake Lin Yueru obtained Xiao Ming's blood and regained his protagonist status. There happened to be another protagonist (such as Zhao Linger) who accidentally played the jungle and was killed by the extras, so the game read the automatic save, and fake Lin Yueru returned to the helicopter plot to keep his memory.
*Xiao Ming is out of the game, so of course he will not be resurrected because the game reads the previous save. This explains why the Omega did not return to a healthy state after the last reset.
The mechanism of *reset is not controlled by the player Xiao Ming, but is the setting of the game itself. This better explains the reset after Omega's death.
