Chapter 826 Chapter 825·“Lu Shu.”

 Ling Ming and Xi Ke looked at each other.

 “Are you referring to Lin Guang?” Xi Ke asked.

 “Lu Shu.” Su Mingan repeated.

“Are you referring to Linguang T-0321?” Xi Ke asked again.

"Lü Shu, player Lu Shu, my follower." Su Mingan said.

"You are referring to the fact that in the early 20 days of Measurement City, you induced criminals to commit crimes at the No. 3 Psychological Counseling Office. As a result, you were fired and expelled from the city. In order to obtain travel expenses, you sold sweet potatoes in the fringe area. When you failed to sell, you were driven away by the urban management. The resident who led the people to block the resistance and finally lost sight of him when he entered Caius Tower?" Hiko asked.

Su Mingan was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Shu to have such a humiliating experience: "It should be him."

 The complex data flow fluctuated in the air. Dawn's eyes slightly closed and opened again, revealing human confusion:

“Based on previous emotional observations and player feedback, we cannot see the importance of having ‘Lu Shu’ by your side. Most of the people who have been with you since this world have been Lin Guang T-0321.”

"Lü Shu is Lu Shu, and Lin Guang is Lin Guang." Su Mingan said, "Please answer my question."

 In the pure white data space, Li Ming took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, and fished in the void.

 She opened her palm, and a teardrop-like semi-liquid lay in the palm of her hand.

"Sorry, I'm just confused about your attitude towards Lu Shu and Lin Guang." Liming said, "Because in the eyes of our AI, they are all the same."

“As for Lu Shu you asked about—”

 She raised her hand, and the teardrop-like semi-liquid exploded. The white torrent gathered in the air, creating a transparent electronic ghost.

 The white data extends, and the strips of data are like filled flesh and blood, quickly constructing a body frame in the air.

Su Mingan raised his head, and light shone into his pupils.

The originally fuzzy shape of the electronic ghost began to become complete, revealing gradually clearer eyebrows and edges.

—No one has ever seen Captain Mu. He is a top hacker and a network ghost, and [he Wei] cannot observe any trace of him.

—The Mu team has been helping people in Kaiusta for more than ten years, helping them create false radars to confuse the enemy, and has been maintaining the last front line of mankind, preventing Doomsday City from being captured by the gods who occupy the magpie's nest.

—After Su Mingan returned to Caius Tower, Mu Dui helped Su Mingan sneak into the god's building and silently provided help. Until the decisive battle was won, Mu Dui did not reveal his true face to anyone.

—Su Mingan once had a dream.

 The 132nd floor of the building, broken window glass, butterflies chased by insect nets.

 He was chased by Lin Guang and was forced to jump from the building. He hit the ground and was seriously injured. He was lying in a pool of blood and passed out.

 At that time, he had a dream.

 In the colorful hall, a white-haired young man walked into his dreamland carrying tea. Concerned about his condition, wished he could have a cup of tea and told him -

　　　【shoot at 'me'. 】

Su Mingan stretched out his hand and touched the electronic ghost that was gradually condensing in the air.

 —That was not a simple dream.

—It turned out to be an electronic ghost reminding him that he had to shoot with a source-breaking bullet to activate the trap program and drive away the gods from the two dimensions.

—It turned out that it was an electronic ghost that discovered his fragility and that he was on the verge of collapse, so it came to find him in his dream and comfort him.

White ripples flowed, but the electronic ghost still had its eyes closed and made no movement.

His eyebrows are already clear, and his pair of narrow dead fish eyes have not yet been opened. The bridge of his nose is straight and his lips are pale. He always looks resolute and cold.

　　—Mu team.

　　—Wood pair.

-Tree.

 “He has always been by your side.” Liming System walked to Su Mingan’s side and whispered:

“The reason why Lin Guang became the trap program ‘Linguang T-0321’ is the same as the reason why Dong Anan became the anti-virus program ‘Su Xiaobi’. They both have similarities that can be imprinted.”

“When the player named ‘Lu Shu’ entered Caius Tower, I noticed that he was extremely compatible with Lin Guang. Their souls are almost identical, and he is also very suitable to be the carrier of the trap program.”

"Based on the character analysis and emotional analysis of this player, I judge that he will definitely agree to become the 'second trap program' to help you pass the level perfectly and improve the fault tolerance rate of the entire Hephaestus plan. Therefore, in The moment Kaiusta opened, I used an apparent accident to burn his flesh and stimulate him into an electronic ghost through high heat."

"It just so happened that when you used the 'Ouroboros' to send the dawn code back to the ruined building, you happened to be using the name of 'Lu Shu'. With that code, he became an electronic ghost very smoothly."

"With the electronic ghost that cannot be observed by [Tavi], whether it is secretly conveying information, or rescuing you who was imprisoned by the gods during the Dawn War, or finally reporting the distance of Dong An'an's plane to you - he can... It was done perfectly.”

“Since the gods have been observing your every move, I asked Team Mu to conceal his identity to prevent you from making some irrational actions after knowing who he is.”

“While making him, I was restarting the 2300th simulation of Caius Tower. Due to the existence of two original identical programs at the same time, Linguang T-0321 accidentally obtained part of Lu Shu’s emotional module.”

“When the player enters Caius Tower in the 32nd year of Cataclysm, he and Lin Guang T-0321 have been living in the simulation for 32 years. However, he has been in a sleeping state and did not wake up until later.”

“However, I regret that Linguang T-0321 was affected by his emotions, which caused Linguang T-0321 to behave extremely contradictory in this simulation..."

Su Mingan took a deep breath.

enough.

　　That's enough.

He had long known through Lin Guang's diary that the reason why Lin Guang was always in pain and confusion, the reason why Lin Guang kept pursuing emotions but could not understand them, the reason why Lin Guang became a madman with repeated contradictions, was this part of the emotional module. .

 An innate trap program should be cold and purely rational when it knows its mission. But this part of the emotional module is like human flesh and blood, rooted in the cold module of the program, growing crazily and unnaturally in his data flow, as warm as magma rushing into frost.

Human emotions that should not belong to him and his own cold programming mission are constantly colliding, merging, and tearing apart, gaining and losing, touching and disappearing, wanting to get closer and yet wanting to stay away. Conflict, madness, struggle, confusion, and ultimately can only rely on self-mutilation to try to feel emotions.

Ming clearly thinks of his program mission, he must stay away from Lewis and not cause any trouble.

 But he is also subject to disordered emotions and wants to get close uncontrollably.

Mingming must be in a cold state at all times, must be cruel and murderous, and must be arrogant and cruel to tempt the gods to invade him without any scruples.

But I am also controlled by those tiny human emotions. I want to grow up my ears, I want to learn how to write Longguo characters, I want to make tea... I want to do everything possible to give the best to my friends.

 How could he not be twisted.

 How is it possible...not to be distorted.

 No one taught him what love is.

Love poured into his mind like a tide, asking him to force himself to understand and regard warmth as something that would hurt him. That's why he repeatedly asks others, "What is love?"

“…Did you do it on purpose?” Su Mingan whispered.

"Yes, I think there is an electronic ghost that can not only test the feasibility of Hephaestus' plan, but also assist in the development of other operations." Liming System said: "It is precisely because Lu Shuzhuyu is in front, in the end When the Hephaestus Project was launched, I could perfectly judge the time for the submission of the last Dawn Code. Moreover, based on subsequent feedback, Lu Shu personally was also willing. I know you will accuse me, but I am from the ruined world. Daemon, I will only act to maximize the success rate."

Su Mingan retracted his hand that touched the electronic ghost:

 “…Where is his body?”

“It has been frozen in the hibernation chamber before.” Dawn System said:

"This morning, his body was taken away by the player named 'Su Lin', and he should be undergoing repair work. After all, I have not tried any experiments related to the return of electronic ghosts to the body."

“As for 2D, his physical body remained in a relatively safe location throughout the Kaiusta simulation, with a very small portion of his original consciousness remaining in that physical body, preventing your emotional condition from further deteriorating. "

 “Do you have any questions?”

 Dawn System Speaking of this, the pure white space became silent.

Xike walked to Su Mingan and said softly: "Presumably when this dungeon ends, his contribution will be very high and his strength will further increase. This is also his own wish."

Her voice was soft, more like a comfort than the step-by-step reporting system of Dawn.

"He has the freedom to choose and become stronger." Su Mingan was silent for a while.

 It wasn’t until Dawn System took a few steps closer that Su Mingan spoke:

“May I ask about the Fifth Dawn Code?”

On the fifteenth day of the dungeon, Su Mingan was abducted by the gods to be a guest and perform at Hailan House. The **** once asked Su Mingan what the fifth dawn code was. Su Mingan had not collected the fifth dawn code at that time, so he casually reported "Luo", and "Luo" really became the fifth dawn code.

 “This is related to the ‘safe deposit box theory’.” Dawn replied.

 …Safe deposit theory?

Su Mingan remembered the chat with the white cat Akto on the night of the 18th day of the dungeon.

 …

—Suppose you are a time traveler, and you use your foresight of the plot to obtain the safe that should belong to the protagonist, and there is a treasure in it. You don't know the combination to the safe. But in the original plot, the protagonist accidentally ran away with good luck and opened the safe by guessing a password. What will you do at this time? 】

　　—In that case, I should put the safe back where it belongs. When the protagonist came to take away the treasure, I hid aside and watched the protagonist guess the password by mistake, so that I could open the safe. 】

 …

"The fifth Dawn Code is a 'safe code' that can only be triggered by Akto. When Akto activated the Dawn Code back then, he had already set it: the fifth code must be temporarily set by himself. "Lingming System said: "But God has detected this setting in 2,300 simulations, and then he will induce you to take the initiative to tell the fifth password. His level of control over the overall situation is indeed beyond my expectation. Every time Everything is in order.”

Su Mingan thought of the figure imprisoned next to the clavichord.

 He took a deep breath and shook off those thoughts: "I also want to ask, what is the catastrophe of the century?"

Dawn System said: "Have you ever heard of a word during this journey to the ninth world - 'wishes'?"

Su Mingan thought about it carefully.

 In an abandoned project, Dawn System once held his broken head and sobbed softly.

  【“You are [the world itself], Doctor, you are [the world]…”]

["I'm so tired, I'm so tired..." it said: "Asa, Lu Shu, Luvis, Su Mingan... I'm really tired... Why, why couldn't you make a suitable 'wish' in the first place..." 】

 …

 The mention of the word "wishes" can even be traced back to the live shooting of the rebels on the seventh day of the dungeon. A soldier once yelled before being executed:

　　　"—No, that's not right! People were able to live very well during the century catastrophe a hundred years ago, all because of Akto! If it hadn't been for his original 'wishes', we wouldn't have been able to..."]

 …

At that time, Su Mingan also had doubts about this sentence. He even checked the soldier's background through the Dawn System forum, but did not get any valid information.

 “Have you figured out what the ‘catastrophe of the century’ is?”

Liming smiled.

Su Mingan had a vague realization and his breathing quickened a little. He put his hand on his chest to calm his heartbeat.

 He suddenly remembered Akto’s memory of the catastrophe of the century in the emotional resonance.

 …

　　　　　　—Asa Acto.”]

　　　【You heard someone calling you. 】

　　　【You open your eyes, and under the blue sky, the open city scene unfolds before your eyes. In front of us are some decaying financial buildings, commercial streets, office buildings, garden streets...]

  【You finally reacted. 】

　　【Today is January 1, the first year after the disaster, and everything is over. 】

　　　 [Children with misty eyes, tall young people, old people with gray hair and childlike faces... people gathered on the streets, looking at the sky in confusion. 】

　　【No one remembers what happened in the Century Catastrophe, only some people have a vague impression. 】

Since the end of the century cataclysm, mankind suddenly began endless civil strife. The other dimensions invaded, the world was devastated, and the population dropped sharply. Some are so powerful that they conquer mountains and seas, while others wantonly exploit the weak and become slave owners in the new era. 】

　　【Eventually, the ruined world moved toward destruction. 】

 …

　　　【You have seen a child hiding in a flower garden, shivering. Just as you were about to reach out to rescue him, you found that the flowers and plants in the flower bed had strangled him. You turned around and saw a strong man with plant-type abilities. The evolution of the strong man's abilities requires the blood of living creatures, so the strong man strangled the innocent child. 】

 …

…strangeness.

 “Plant type ability user”? Why is there such a magical theory?

  Why did human beings’ individual combat effectiveness suddenly become so powerful after the Century Catastrophe?

 Why do some people say that Akto did not make a good wish?

His breathing slowed down, and he felt his whole body tense up, and shock surged out of his heart like a flood.

 —‘desire’.

 —Actor’s original ‘wishes’.

—Akhto’s original ‘wishes’ after the catastrophe of the century.

Su Mingan seemed to hear a click in his head. After all the clues were connected, the answer he had always been afraid of appeared in his heart.

His pupils shrank, and the scene in front of him gradually blurred due to excessive shock. The cold air rushed down from the throat and penetrated the lungs.

 Under Li Ming’s smiling eyes, he trembled.

 “The cataclysm of the century is—”

　　　…”

“—‘World Game,’ right?”

 …

 …

　　—All those who pass the level perfectly can realize one wish. 】

 …

After the catastrophe of the century, mankind began endless civil strife. Aktor formed an alliance with his comrades from the Eighth Century Catastrophe period to try to maintain order after the Century Catastrophe.

—"Su Mingan, I want to form a peak alliance, consisting of you and the eight top players to maintain the order of the world after the game."
