Chapter 792 Chapter 791 · "I'm waiting for spring. (2

  【"Nightingale, O nightingale."】

"That girl said that if I picked a red rose for her, she would dance with me, but there was never a red rose in my garden."]

　　　"Do you want to pierce your heart with thorns to dye a rose red for me?"]

  【—"The Nightingale and the Rose"】

 …

A bullet shot out like a blue crystal.

 This is the prop [Source Breaking Bullet] that Su Mingan obtained at the beginning of the dungeon. When he mentioned "shooting", he thought of this prop, although he didn't know what role it would play now.

 …

  【Source-breaking bullet (purple level)

 Type: consumable items

Introduction: It can take effect when loaded into any firearm. Your next firearm shot will inevitably cut off the nerve connection between the person being shot and the Dawn system, and destroy the Dawn chip in the person being shot. 】

 …

The bullet penetrated Lin Guang's chest, and the sound of his heart breaking seemed to be heard. In an instant, the scarlet hose suddenly began to dance wildly, and terrifying magnitudes of 0 and 1 popped out of their dancing frequency almost crazily.

Just like the rhythm of nerves and blood vessels, the data flow of 0 and 1 soared, one, five, ten, one hundred - as if a long line containing countless data was connected from the sky and the earth. With a "click", the source was broken. The bullet penetrated it, like a pair of sharp scissors, suddenly cutting off the long line!

Su Ming'an felt that everything in front of him began to spin and become chaotic, just like a computer with a flashing screen. The swaying lights, the wind and rain in his ears, the broken bricks and even the white-haired young man himself were all blurred between 0 and 1 data. Unclear.

 “Bang, bang, bang!”

 In the frenzy, a life-like heartbeat could be heard.

The white data waterfall hangs upside down in front of the eyes, and the world seems to be reborn in the overturning. Everything in front of the eyes is like a collapsed sand castle, and everything seems to be overthrown and reorganized in a strange rhythm.

Only from it can one hear the angry voice of the gods:

 “Lin Guang—伱—you actually do it!”

This is probably what shocked the gods last week - Lin Guang prepared a back-up plan that was simulated 2,300 times.

 This week, this unknown back-up plan took effect.

 “God!” Lin Guang’s voice came out in the turbulence.

This sharp shout seemed to have penetrated the pain and loneliness of 2,300 simulations, throughout his entire program, filling the resentment and unwillingness of hundreds of millions of people in the ruined world:

 “God!!”

  “—I’m going to kill you, this lofty god!!”

 In an instant,

 The brilliance is bright.

Su Mingan covered his face and took a few steps back in the strong wind. He saw the brilliant light gathering on the white-haired young man, and the Hanfu pierced by the source-breaking bullet - the blue light flashed crazily at Lin Guang's heart, like a stick. The sharp thorn that pierces the nightingale's heart.

Like a star that has escaped gravity, Lin Guang's figure floats among the chaotic data, and the surrounding area turns into pure white data space.

 “God—!”

 A roar.

Those strands of flying white hair are like the last snow in the harsh winter.

 …

 The long wind spread all over the world.

Fragmented data flow, a wisp of white light flashing across the vast polar night in the sky, as if the day had torn apart the darkness, and there was actually dawn rising in the distance.

　　It is obviously close to midnight, but the darkness in the sky is gradually fading away, and the sun is shining everywhere.

Su Mingan stared at the sky blankly, the first ray of morning light shining on his face. The helicopter in the sky was unmanned and fell down and shattered into pieces.

On the rooftop, Lin Guang still held the lily in his hand, with the blue light of the source-breaking bullet flowing on his left chest. Su Mingan did not see the figure of the god, as if the **** suddenly disappeared.

 “…Lin Guang?”

Su Mingan immediately stepped forward and supported Lin Guang.

 At this moment, when Su Ming'an made contact with Lin Guang's chest, a message came in.

 …

  【Linguang T-0321 record log is as follows. 】

  【In the second year of the disaster, I was born. 】

 …

This seems to be the emotional resonance of the Dawn System in Lin Guang's chest, containing all of Lin Guang's memories and secrets.

As soon as Su Mingan came into contact with this information, Lin Guang's hand was clenched violently. Lin Guang looked at him pleadingly and said intermittently: "Don't... don't look."

 “Let me see.” Su Mingan said.

He wanted to know... what kind of plan Lin Guang had set up, what effect the source-breaking bomb had, and why the **** suddenly disappeared.

He also wanted to know about Lin Guang's past, Lin Guang's memory, and everything about Lin Guang.

 The strength in his hand loosened little by little, and Lin Guang lowered his head, his face still showing the usual humility. He said in a low voice:

 “Okay, take a look.”

 “Don’t hate me after reading this.”

 Information continues to come.

 …

  【Linguang T-0321 record log is as follows. 】

  【In the second year of the disaster, I was born. 】

I looked at my appearance in the mirror and hated my facial features and gray hair. 】

　　【I detected a strange emotion module inside the program, the file name is "Lu Shu", which confused me. Maybe when Kaiusta built me, the program was invaded by foreign programmers and some errors occurred - it should be this person named "Lu Shu" who accidentally lost his emotion module in me. 】

   —This resulted in me possessing the temperament, memory, and behavior of this unfamiliar "Lu Shu" emotional module. Even though I don’t even know who this person is. 】

　　【It doesn't matter, even then, it's still me. 】

  【I will not be mistaken. 】

 …

Su Mingan’s eyes widened slightly, and his breathing suddenly became choked.

 He did not expect this result.

He had thought about the worst outcome countless times—Lin Guang might actually be Lu Shu who had lost himself. He was even ready to kill Lu Shu with his own hands.

but…

 …

  【Linguang T-0321 record log is as follows. 】

Since the real Lin Guang died with Akto in the third dimension, I took over his responsibility. 】

　　【My full name is "Lin Guangzhu Kaiwusta AI", which is essentially a "trap" program. 】

　　【The reason why the Dawn system is divided into two halves is not for the so-called checks and balances, but because - only one Dawn system is real. Another Dawn system is a trap. 】

　　【When the gods try to seize the Dawn System from me, as a trap program, I will use the tracking reverse loop to reversely lock the position of [other dimensions]. 】

　　【This is one of the few opportunities for counterattack in the ruined world, and it is also the mission Akto left for me back then - my only role is to act as a "stupid" trap to induce the gods to take the bait. As long as I choose to be his agent in every simulation, show my brutal and ignorant side, and make him relax his vigilance, he will invade me again and again, using me as a safe backup container. 】

　　【In a total of 2,300 Kaiusta simulations, the gods took my body a total of 1,328 times, and I also searched for the location of the gods' bodies 1,328 times. In this way, I have gradually locked in the position of the civilization [Tavi]. 】

As for the civilians I executed, I'm sorry, they were just programs and can be resurrected in the next simulation. If I wasn't cruel to them, we wouldn't even have another simulation, we would be discovered by the gods, and the entire civilization would lose its last chance to fight back. 】

　　　【If you hate me, then hate me. Because in the next simulation, I will still treat you like this, so that you can be resurrected next time. 】

　　【This time Caius Tower is the last simulation, and I have almost locked the position of [Tavi]. 】

　　【My final function as a "trap" program is about to be launched. 】

That is—when the gods invaded me for the last time, I used the ‘anti-positioning cut-off procedure’ to drive the gods out of this simulation. 】

　　【This 'anti-positioning and cutting off program' is hidden in the three dimensions. Back then, Akto named it the 'source-breaking bomb'. 】

The principle of the source-breaking bomb is that the gods are a ruined world invaded through the Dawn System. Once the source-breaking bomb cuts off the link program between my body and the Dawn System, the gods will be temporarily driven back to [Third Dimension]. 】

[In other words, only if the gods invade me, and at that moment, an administrator account shoots at me, this last function can be activated to drive the gods out of this simulation - we can use the remaining simulation Time, do something that can be hidden from [Tavi], and finally you don’t have to be under the ubiquitous surveillance of [Tavi]. 】

  【In order to prevent bugs in my personal emotion module, causing the gods to discover something is wrong with me. I periodically clear my memory—every time I simulate, I start over with a clean slate. Only in the last few years would my memory be awakened. 】

　　【Of course, during this period, there is a high probability that I will be induced by the gods to become a twisted person and become a villain. 】

　　【It doesn't matter, I'm just a trap program. 】

 …

 【T-0321 log recording is completed, this file will be permanently sealed, and non-managers other than "Asa Akto" cannot listen to it. 】

  【Storage completed. 】

  【The memory has been cleared. 】

  【T-0321 will be opened in the 32nd year of Cataclysm with almost zero memory. 】

 …

Su Mingan withdrew his hand, his fingers feeling like they were burned.

 A strange sadness and pain spread through his insides. After learning the truth, he was a little breathless and almost speechless.

The pair of pale eyes were also looking back at him, Lin Guang's eyes seemed to be witnessing the collapse and rebirth of a planet. Like a wounded man who finally revealed his **** scars to Su Ming'an, his expression was fearful and expectant.

His fingers clenched tightly and held Su Ming'an's arm with great force.

 “It turns out you’re really not...” Su Mingan said tremblingly.

It’s really not Lu Shu.

 Not even Lin Guang himself.

"Yes." Lin Guang whispered: "This is my 'essence'."

“Yes. I am neither the ‘Lu Shu’ you have been thinking about, nor am I ‘Lin Guang’ himself.”

“I am a program, a program that mixes ‘Lu Shu’ and ‘Linguang’ to remember emotions and temperament. My name is T-0321.”

 There was sadness in his eyes, as if even his eyes were asking "why?" Some problems have puzzled even him for a long time, and they are always tormenting him like gangrene in his bones.

"Why...I know how to make Lu Shu's tea. In my dreams, I like to go to Taihua Mountain in the Dragon Kingdom...but I have never seen the real Taihua Mountain."

“I am clearly able to control strange beasts like Lu Shu, and even influenced by my emotions, I subconsciously raised mantises and butterflies… but it is still not him.”

“I clearly have the past memories of ‘Lu Shu’, but I am not the person who first met you and said he would follow you, give you a black cat, fight for you, give you blessings, and celebrate your nineteenth birthday with you.”

Lin Guang’s face showed depression and confusion, just like a child’s confusion when facing unknown things:

“Every time I see you, my chest feels like fireworks. I don’t understand what it feels like.”

“I can’t understand why raising the corners of the mouth means smiling, and why having water in the eyes means crying, but I have these reactions when I see you. My surroundings seem to be black and white, but you have color.”

"I can't resist not being close to you, even though I know that this is not in line with my inherent behavior pattern, and you are a deviation and error in my programming."

 “I can’t give up on you.”

　　　…”

Su Ming'an's chest seemed to be weighed down by a thousand-kilogram iron scale, and it was difficult to say a word.

Lin Guang saw his expression and changed the subject:

 “Lovis, I have some good news for you.”

"The shot you just fired was successful. The **** has disappeared from Caius Tower. At least in this simulation, he can't appear again."

 “Really?” Su Mingan said.

 When he raised his head—

 In the sky, there are white birds flying in all directions.

 Atop the burned-out scorched earth, confused people stood up.

The ancient bells sounded from the bell tower, and the hour hand crossed the top position, heralding the arrival of a new day.

The data flow of 0s and 1s around Su Mingan is still radiating brilliance. Just hearing the sound of "rumbling" all around, due to the chain reaction of the collapse of the Central Building, the platform also began to collapse.

Su Mingan immediately hugged Lin Guang tightly to block the scattered bricks and stones.

The rooftop collapsed under their feet, but the two of them did not fall at a high speed. The flow of data flying around them made their fall slow.

Lin Guang’s hands were burning hot.

Even though the hands are getting blurry, Su Mingan can still feel the touch. Complete, warm to the touch, life-like to the touch.

"Ling Guang, then you said [stay] before..." Su Mingan's voice trembled.

"Of course it's me who [stays]." Lin Guang's voice paused: "When a program completes its mission, it loses its value of existence. Only human life has meaning. I am just data, and what awaits after it is used up is Delete, besides, I am just 0321, a program to complete the task."

"You are not a program, you are..." Su Mingan wanted to call out a new name, but found that he couldn't. The person in front of him was neither "Lu Shu" nor "Linguang", and calling him "0321" seemed too cold.

 He suddenly noticed a trace of despair. It turned out that this was what Lin Guang had been sad about.

"Just call me Lin Guang." Lin Guang whispered: "I have completed the mission of the program. Praise me, okay?"

His heart was obviously a cold dawn system, but he seemed to feel it beating hotly. It was like... he really had a human heart. The heat burned his face slightly red.

"Okay." Su Mingan said, "Thank you. Lin Guang, you did a good job."

 He saw that like in slow motion, the sunlight was shrouded in Lin Guang's pale brows and eyes. He saw Lin Guang slowly loosen his hand covering his chest, revealing a heart that was glowing with the blue light of a source-breaking bullet.

It was as if a gust of wind blew into them, blowing away the barriers across them.

Su Ming'an remembered Lin Guang's smile when he walked with him, his concentration in playing the flute for him, his seriousness in painting for him, and... the Chinese characters "龙国" stroke by stroke, and the couplets one after another.

 He could not imagine that this was not a life.

 What is the difference between life and program?

"Luvis, I'm so envious of... those who can accompany you, those who spend a long time with you. I'm so... envious." Lin Guang felt deep pain. In fact, he was still jealous, jealous of that "Lu Weisz." Tree", he wished he could keep Luvis forever.

 But he knew it couldn't be done.

  The data collection of the "Trap" program is completed, and the energy supply to the heart from the scarlet hose is about to disappear. If he were a life, he might really force Luvis to stay, but he was just a program, a lifeless leaf.

But when he was asked to disconnect and disappear, he felt... so reluctant to let go.

 It goes against his procedural instinct and he is unwilling to accept death calmly.

 He suddenly remembered what Violet once said.

 …

[Connection like family members, admiration like friends, 'love' for an independent individual life. This person is different to you, can cause waves in your heart, and make you feel that he is a good person. people. Have you ever experienced such a feeling? If so, it is called ‘appreciation’ and ‘love’. ”]

 …

like.

like?

The child next to the villa, the old woman selling him flowers on a rainy night, the soldier entrusting him with flute music under the glacier, and the little civilian girl looking for the last pair of paints for him.

Lovis who came to the garden villa, who was listening to flute music with him under the moonlight, who was drinking tea in his dream, and who was standing in front of him now.

 Also, this whole world.

Those...seem to be...

 …

like?

 He felt a little like crying.

If he was the one who met Luvis in the first place...would things be different?

　　If he could have more time, talk to Luvis as an equal, and walk together, instead of exposing him as the master of the City of Gods early. If they can stage a peaceful drama under the eyes of the gods, they can wait until the end of the catastrophe in 72 years.

 Is it... that he will be luckier than that "Lu Shu"?

Those flute scores that have not yet been finished, those paintings that have only been drafted, those unfinished Long Guo calligraphy...

He still has so many things he has learned that he has not had time to show, and there are still so many gifts that he has not given to Lewis.

  If we say that "people are suspended in the web of their own meaning", its meaning to Lewis is only "go to death".

yes.

 He is out of control, abnormal, wrong, incalculable, humble and ugly, and distorted by the gods.

 Only by dying can he have perfect clearance, only by dying can he get experience rewards, and only by dying can the "Lu Shu" in Luvis' heart be perfect, otherwise it will tarnish the name of Lu Shu. Even if he dies, his death may be part of the gods' backup plan, and it may even be used to kill Lovis, the only person he cares about.

 He actually has no feelings for the world and does not want to save mankind at all. It is just the mission of the program that keeps him doing this. Of all his actions, the only one that came out of his approach to Lewis was his true intention.

 But the essence of Lovis is different from him. Lovis is a miracle of the combination of a billion sperms and the vast universe, as precious as a diamond.

 Lovis is life.

 And it is just a piece of data, without any miracles.

 Lovis still has a long life to experience and many miracles to create, and they will not disappear like him.

marvelous.

"Why is he crying?" asked a lizard. 】

“He weeps for a red rose,” the Nightingale told everyone. "For a red rose?" cried the little animals. "It's so funny!]

"Yet love is better than life," said the Nightingale. 】

　　　　　　—How can the heart of a bird compare to the heart of a man?"]
