Chapter 8 Time Cycle (recommendation ticket requested)
"Hey(hey)~"
"What\'sthematterwithyourhead? Yeah~"
"Hey(hey)~"
"What\'sthe matter with your mind and your sign? An-aoh-oh-oh~"
Familiar with the music, like an invisible big hand, pulled Roland out of the dream.
Although he had another night of dreams, and it still stopped abruptly at the most critical moment, but at this moment, he was not indulging in illusion, but got up full of energy, and looked at the bedroom in front of him.
Last night, the comic book that he put on the bedside was gone.
It was replaced by the alarm clock that he threw into the study.
Pressed the pause button, got up in a hurry, and Roland rushed into the study with his heart full of uneasiness.
When he saw that the comic books he had brought back to his bedroom were neatly placed on the bookshelf...
An excited smile clings to his face.
This should be his third New Year's Day.
he looks like-
Entered the time loop.
The term time loop is no stranger to Roland, who has watched thousands of movies and made nearly a thousand explanatory videos: The classic movie "Groundhog Day" in 1993 is the theme of time loop, and the real person The beginning of the movie, and then "Run Lola Run", "Source Code", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Terror Cruise", "Happy Death Day" just replaced the elements; very wide. You know, even Christopher Nolan's hands-on work "Doodlebug" before his debut is interpreting a perpetual cycle that cannot be measured by time.
In addition to this, this kind of setting also appears in Dian Niang's novels.
Roland's favorite author, Zhan Heitu, and the protagonist Guo Xiu in his novels have such abilities.
Of course, no matter what type of work it is, the protagonists will live the same day over and over again. Roland feels that this is what he is encountering now.
As for why it appears?
Probably the hammer that broke his waist before crossing, cast a kind of magic on him, right?
As for his mood at the moment?
He squeezed his thigh hard, and the sudden pain couldn't restrain the smile on his lips.
He sat upright, acted upright, and he was able to answer the question of "court jade liquid wine, one hundred and eighty cups". A time loop, could it possibly scare him to death?
Besides, at this moment, it's too late for him to be happy!
Having seen so many time loop works, Roland certainly understands how powerful this ability is!
In Dianniang's novel "Legends of Tomorrow", Guo Xiu, who has the ability to cycle time, finally went to play on planet T17.
In the movie "Source Code", the mysterious man Jack Gyllenhaal, who used to play with the clown Heath Ledger, did not have the E.D.I.T.H derived from the second version, but he was reborn with an eight-minute infinite loop. , While reaping love, he also took down the terrorists and saved Chicago.
In "Edge of Tomorrow", although the omnipotent Ethan Hunt has become a dish, but in this first-person shooter game, he got 300 lives by cheating, and finally cleared the level with blood, unlocking it for two weeks At the same time, he also received the reward of being a heroine.
As for the granddaddy of time-loop live-action movies, Groundhog Day?
The radio host was not lost in Tokyo with his widowed sister at that time, and he was the protagonist closest to Roland because of his unsatisfactory life. But even so, this guy full of negative energy still learned a lot of skills in the time loop , became the most popular guy in the town, and finally succeeded in attacking the heroine, and embraced the beauty.
Thinking that on December 31st, he was still a kid who was troubled by inheritance tax and guardians, and once January 1st passed, he became a man who could cast the magic sword and control thunder just by shazam slogan Truth, the guy who broke the seven deadly sins, Roland, was a little excited.
Afraid that you will not be able to dig out the treasure in your head?
With the super power of time loop, he can learn knowledge just like in the movie!
Even if he doesn’t have the bonus of a black technology system, he might not be able to figure out the Riemann conjecture, he can’t get controllable nuclear fusion, he can’t go to the moon, he can’t go to Mars, but he can learn other things, right? With the Internet as big as the wind, it is no problem to start learning "From Deleting the Database to Running" now, and be a pig on the wind, right?
Need money to dig the treasure in your head?
Sorry, with the time loop, he can also dig by hand!
"It's developed, it's developed, and there is time to cycle, what more bicycles are needed!"
"Return to the old business? Enter the filming industry?"
"Have you ever seen a guy become the richest man in filming?"
"The retired Jack Ma is my target!"
"After you have the money, don't you just drag the lineup of "Gong Shou Dao"?"
Roland hammered the table excitedly. He felt that there was no problem with his previous breakfast analysis.
It is right not to enter the industry at this age.
As for the next day refresh in the time loop, the situation of going back and restarting?
He doesn't have to worry about this.
When explaining those movies, he directly pointed out the bugs in the time loop works to his fans—
No matter what type of work, as long as the protagonists are caught in the time loop, they all have muscle memory. The time loop can help them improve continuously, and there will be no negative effects such as fatigue and aging. The hero in "Day" will never be able to learn how to play the piano, and the fourth part of "Mission: Impossible" will also be the series' swan song.
He actually only needs to think about one thing now.
That is to figure out how to get out of the time loop before officially starting to study.
The situation of life imprisonment is unacceptable to him.
Trapped on the same day, even if you can try to do different things, you will feel sleepy after a long time.
What's more, wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, like walking at night in brocade.
The reason why people are willing to struggle is that they want to live a better life on the basis of living?
And those things that modify oneself are not envied by others in the end?
Desires without desires are saints, but Roland, no!
If the improvement in the time loop is just for his own entertainment, then he would rather not have this thing!
Thinking of this, Roland took a deep breath.
Abandoning his inner excitement, staring at the pen and paper on the table, he had to think about how to break the time loop he was in.
If he's the first guy to encounter a time loop, he'll probably be clueless.
But with the support of countless works, his thoughts are running fast.
""Happy Death Day" tells the story of the heroine who was killed on her birthday, and then resurrected back to her birthday. When she found her murderer, she broke through the time loop."
"In "Run Lola Run", the heroine Lola keeps dying and comes back again and again. She runs faster and faster every time, just to give life-saving money to her boyfriend. In the end, she also has a happy ending."
"Edge of Tomorrow and Source Code are more obvious."
"These two movies are like playing games. As long as you complete the goal, you can leave the time loop."
"The time loop has a typical feature, that is, when a certain condition of the character is not met, the loop will start again, and the previous memory and efforts will be retained. As long as the goal is completed, the loop can be exited..."
"Since this is the case, then the condition that drives me to cycle should be the most lacking thing in me."
"What am I missing?"
"Lack of start-up funds for digging treasures?"
"No..."
"The time loop does not retain foreign objects, so money is definitely not a condition for the loop to open."
"Then what else am I missing?"
"Knowledge?"
"That's not right. Knowledge is something that cannot be quantified. It cannot be a target of judgment. Even if I learn "From Deleting the Library to Running", it does not prove that I have fully mastered this thing, and I will be able to write in the future. A variety of software…”
"If you throw away these illusory things, what else do I want recently?"
"Elizabeth?"
"Cough cough cough..."
"If the time loop can make her grow up, then I'm afraid I'll have to die in it."
"Since this target will not be a real object, nor will it be an undefinable skill, let alone a living person, then the only thing that bothers me these days is a dream..."
Roland, who was muttering to himself, said this, and immediately realized something was wrong.
The voice of analysis came to an abrupt end.
He who was excited because he was caught in a time loop, is now beeping.
Having accumulated experience from his previous life, of course he can easily prove the answer, but—
The condition for exiting the loop is to replace Macaulay Culkin as the protagonist of "Home Alone"?
Grass Grass —
Let him drop the protagonist who has already been appointed by default?
No matter how you think about this kind of thing, it is impossible!
Note: ① The world's first movie about time loops is not "Groundhog Day", but the theatrical version of "Fuxing Boy 2: The Man in the Dream" by Rumiko Takahashi; however, this The infinite loop in the movie was not Rumiko Takahashi's inspiration, but Mamoru Oshii's idea. Because of this incident, Mamoru Oshii and Rumiko Takahashi parted ways. Oshii Mamoru is the director who worked out the animated film version of "Ghost in the Shell". ②The first person to use time loops in his own works was Nietzsche, and the first science fiction literature with time loops was called "Doubled and Redoubled", which appeared in 1941. Over the years, the setting of the time loop has been similar, and most of the changes are in the story, not the setting itself. ③The Chinese name of "Doodlebug" is "Antling", a time-loop short film made by Nolan, which takes less than three minutes, and it is available on Youku.
