Chapter 166 The Crisis Facing the Parallel World

   As soon as the voice fell, a real-time calculation of the game appeared in the video content.

  It was an open room furnished with all kinds of precision machinery.

   Looks like it's some kind of control lab.

   Players saw this, combined with what Brother Banana said just now. It's not hard to guess that this is where the boss battle will take place.

  As a player, as long as he has rich experience in the game, he generally knows some rules and laws.

  For example, there must be supplies before a big battle, or an open field without enemies may be a BOSS battle, etc.

  The laboratory room in the picture now obviously meets the second rule.

  Just as the players were guessing, in the video, a giant crooked, semi-mechanical, semi-shrunken creature with movable joints like a doll suddenly fell.

  It has bony, slender limbs, and a mummy-like slender torso with prominent ribs.

   On the top of the neck, it is not the biological head known in common sense. It's an ancient monitor with a big iron lump.

   This is the old computer product of W-FBC-0079 'Old AI'!

At the same time, the glass screen is covered with static picture faces belonging to the 'old AI', and the two empty black holes are staring at the protagonist expressionlessly, making the players in front of the screen feel like they are falling into an ice cellar like chills.

   This is not human at all!

  The players were all shocked when they saw this huge and slender monster with a hunched body.

   Is this the hidden BOSS?

  Blanch! Too hanging!

  This lanky giant, half mechanical, half biological, with an old monitor as its head, is astonishing as it is refreshing!

   Because they've never seen it!

  Or, ordinary people never imagined that monsters could be designed like this?

  The huge sallow body that is as skinny as a mummy is obviously scary enough, and it is paired with a thick monitor as a head.

  This strong sense of contrast and strange and uncoordinated peculiar shape simply overturned the vision and knowledge of players for decades!

   What a bold design!

  It's weird and chilling, especially the slender limbs and huge palms that can move, which directly bring the uncanny valley effect to its peak, making every player in front of the screen wide-eyed and shocked!

   This is W-FBC-0079 'Old AI'. It is the product of ultra-finishing with humans.

  Gosh

  It turns out that anomalies and humans can still be super-finished

  How many unknown details and gameplay are hidden in this game?

  And how to fight a BOSS that is the product of the combination of humans and abnormalities?

  With a few questions in mind, the players in front of the screen waited intently for the UP commentary.

  But in the video, Brother Banana's voice suddenly changed to another UP master with a thinner voice to explain.

   There is no handover in the middle, and the analysis starts when it comes up.

  [The monster you see now is the hidden boss in the game—Jammin Walker. Yes, this is the real body of the protagonist of our parallel world. It is no longer a human being. As a boss outside the main line, its difficulty is second only to the game's final boss "Undead Monitor Lizard", and it can be regarded as the second-ranked boss in the entire game. ]

  [For convenience, I call it No. 2 protagonist here. There are many ways to play it, and it is very free. The production team does not have a fixed gameplay here like A-FBC-1000 'Bigfoot'. When the player is fighting the No. 2 protagonist, he can be tough and use abnormalities. In short, you can use everything you want to deal with it, as long as you can kill it. ]

  [But pay attention, it is the No. 2 protagonist, and it also has the ability to read files. So when fighting it, you will find that its evasion rate is ridiculously high, and you can't even touch it. Only unexpected sneak attacks can hurt it. But it's hard, at least we tried many times. So in the end, I have to admit that, except for the technical masters who can catch that little flaw, it is difficult for ordinary players to beat this boss without the abnormal items of "a divine outfit". ]

  [We will upload this BOSS's "Skipping Class Play" later. It mainly uses a very awesome anomaly called A-FBC-1297 "Reverse Time Nail Pot", so I won't go into details here. ]

  [Now back to the topic, in fact, in the parallel world, if we don’t find A-FBC-1000 ‘Bigfoot’, we can always explore in the abandoned facility. Among them, you can find some documents left by the No. 2 protagonist. Through the above fragmented information, we pieced together what happened in the parallel world, and the process of why the No. 2 protagonist changed from a human to a monster. ]

  [Next, let’s start with the cause of the failure of control, which is the disaster in the parallel world. ]

  The video screen slowly turns black.

  Ethereal and sad background music sounded softly.

  The next second, a screenshot of the game appeared in front of the players.

That is

  W-FBC-0079 Display Interface for 'Old AI'!

   Above is a message from the No. 2 protagonist of the parallel world to the player.

  The description between the lines makes the Control Bureau say that it does all kinds of evil and is an extremely bastard, comparable to a cancer in the world.

   It can be seen that the No. 2 protagonist is really shocked and disgusted by the FBC's act of eliminating human beings.

   At this time, the commentary sounded again.

  [First of all, we can learn from No. 2 protagonist’s message and the desolation of the parallel world that the Control Bureau has really wiped out humans. And, it worked! ]

  [Then the question is, why does the Control Bureau of the parallel world do this? What exactly did humans do to make the Control Bureau clear out the anomalies without hesitation? ]

  [This point, we can find the answer from the diary of No. 2 protagonist. ]

  [Let’s take a brief look at the parallel world first. ]

   As soon as the voice fell, the screenshots in the video became the content of the diary document. In order to highlight the key points, the two paragraphs 2443.3.8 and 3.15 were specially enlarged and displayed.

  Then, the explanation continues.

  [The diary on No. 3.8 tells us that the energy of the blue star in the parallel world is exhausted. The diary on 3.15 tells us that the parallel world is the interstellar era, and humans have colonized the moon. But because of energy problems, a plundering war broke out on the moon. ]

  [Note that ‘plunder’ is used here, not scramble or scramble. It can be seen from this that the robbery has begun because of the energy problem. But why rob it? Note that the name of the plundering party in the diary is a 'resistance organization', not bandits and thieves. It shows that the power and regime in the parallel world is very likely to be the kind of class that squeezes the people, hoards resources, and causes the gap between the rich and the poor to be too large, so that the society is chaotic enough to give birth to class fighters. ]

  [Here, there are already signs that the world is going to end. ]

  When the players heard this, they suddenly realized.

I see

   Unexpectedly, there is so much information hidden in just two diaries.

   After explaining, I know that the parallel world is a high-tech interstellar era. But in fact, it is just strong on the outside and barren on the inside, and it is nothing more than superficiality.

  The depletion of energy has put this developed civilization in jeopardy, unable to support future development.

   This is almost on the road to extinction!

   Just when the players were sighing in their hearts, in the video, the commentary resumed.

  [Humans in the parallel world have adopted many methods in order to survive. The first is the establishment of a new religion. In this diary on 2444.8.22, it tells us that the old government allowed the establishment of the Unification Church. The subsequent diary also emphasized the strength of this religion. Not only did a large number of people join the FBC, but even the No. 2 protagonist himself became one of them. ]

  In the video, two diary screenshots appeared again.

  One is the diary of No. 2443.12.22, which indicates that the No. 2 protagonist will not blindly believe in religion, nor will he follow any "martyrs".

  Another one is the diary of No. 2444.5.14. The above mentions a global majority, including a large number of members within the Bureau itself. And the last sentence in the diary is "Praise Altman"...

  The players immediately understood that this last sentence already showed that the No. 2 protagonist has become a Unification Christian.

  Gosh...

  What kind of religion is this Unification Church? It's so awesome?

  What do they believe in?

  So that even the No. 2 protagonist is so fanatical?

  The players who couldn't guess continued to look at the video.

  Inside, commentary continues.

  [In addition to religion, it is to explore the universe with all our strength. Finally, the new government discovers a planet and sends an elite expedition fleet to explore it. But the strange thing is that 7 months after the voyage, the fleet carried out the "No. 5 plan" on the planet and directly destroyed itself. It can be seen from this that there is definitely something wrong with this new planet! ]

  [In the end, the old government failed, power changed, and a new government was formed. After the new government took office, it built a self-sufficient integrated "mobile factory", which is the Ishimura. ]

  [This spaceship is very powerful. According to the diary on 2447.10.19, the energy mining method of the Ishimura is to directly tear a piece of the surface from the planet, and then conduct cracking mining. His bold way and behavior also shocked No. 2 protagonist, who is a fourth-level doctor of FBC. It can be seen from this that the Ishimura is the hope for the parallel world! ]

  [Therefore, in order for the Ishimura to work normally, the new government sent dozens of patrol warships to protect it after 5 months. One of them, Keira, should be the wife of protagonist No. 2, and she is a medical staff member on the "Spirit". ]

[but]

  There was a pause in the video, causing the players in front of the video to raise their eyebrows.

  Speak!

  伱Speak quickly!

   What are you selling!

   But what but?

  At this time, the bullet screens were frantically brushed, and everyone asked not to stop.

  Some people say that it’s okay if I give you the coins, hurry up!

  lsps directly swiped the full screen of GKD!

  The voice of the explanation paused for a few seconds, and then spoke again.

  […but…no accident, accident. ]

  [In the diary No. 2448.3.29, the No. 2 protagonist said that when he had a headache, he saw his wife appearing in front of him in the form of hallucinations. ]

   As soon as the voice fell, the screenshot in the video changed again.

   That's the diary of 2444.9.8.

  The content is that the protagonist No. 2 saw Dr. Maynard, who had been dead for a year, staring at him with a sinister smile through the glass when he had a headache.

  [From this diary, we can know that people with headaches can see hallucinations of dead people appearing. And this strange situation not only happened to the No. 2 protagonist, but also the entire Panopticon-19. So, the headache phenomenon, can see the dead come back. Then protagonist No. 2 sees his wife Keira. That is to say, there is a high probability that something will happen to the "Courage" protecting the Ishimura. Or, in other words, what happened to Keira himself on the "Spirit".]

  [If the "Courage" is like this, then the "Ishimura" as a hope, I don't think it will be intact, and I am afraid it is too bad. ]

  The players frowned when they saw this.

  What did you encounter in the video?

   What would that be?

  The vast starry sky, the dead universe.

  The only human starships can encounter are aliens.

  But even if aliens have developed into a parallel world of interstellar civilization, it stands to reason that high technology is everywhere.

   Can't beat the aliens?

   The players frowned and thought, but they couldn't think of any results.

  But in the video, the voice of the commentary suddenly changed, and it became the voice of Brother Banana.

   Obviously, it was his turn to explain.

  [Regarding the problem of seeing dead people with headaches, unfortunately, no specific explanation was given in the game. We've scoured all the documentation trying to find out, but can't find it. So this headache, we can only speculate based on the existing clues. ]

  [The following analysis is my personal guess. In the follow-up, if the production team has an explanation and it is contrary to my analysis, then everyone can just watch it for fun. ]

   At this time, as the explanation began, the game screen appeared in the video.

   That is the boss battle of A-FBC-1000 ‘Bigfoot’!

   Moreover, it is the second stage of the evasion battle. As the protagonist, Brother Banana is hiding in the rocks and crawling forward.

  [Actually, players who have been to parallel worlds know that the first boss on the main line, A-FBC-1000 ‘Bigfoot’, was designed very simply for players’ consideration. But this boss told me an important piece of information. ]

  [That is, there is a thing called 'God Seal' in human consciousness. ]

  [Through the dictation of BOSS, we know that this thing came to Blue Star in the Cambrian Period. The combination of microorganisms carried on the surface and marine minerals has caused a major unsolved case in the scientific community, that is, the Cambrian explosion of life. ]

  [I also learned from the BOSS that the 'God Seal' is very mysterious. The higher races in ancient times have studied it and confirmed that it is an 'inorganic life form'. My mother... Inorganic life... The "Shenyin" is actually a dead object with life... You can imagine that a dead object such as stone, sand, or steel suddenly has life, and you will understand how incredible it is! It is simply a contradiction! ]

  [However, this kind of existence has established contact with ancient humans until today. So I personally think that the headache phenomenon of human beings should be caused by this 'divine seal'. ]

  [But some people will be curious, since the "God Seal" came to the blue star from the Cambrian period, didn't human beings have headaches and hallucinations during the period from birth to interstellar civilization? ]

  [This point, in fact, the diary of the No. 2 protagonist and the "Bigfoot" explain everything. ]

  [The ancient humans who were forced to reach the full level by the 'God Seal' forgot it by some means. So I personally think that this is the main reason why the "Shen Seal" did not appear in the development of human civilization for thousands of years. But why did the headache appear again? Everyone will understand after reading this diary. ]

  In the video, Brother Banana released a screenshot of his diary.

   That is the original text of the diary:

  2443.6.20, overcast.

   It's been a long time since I kept a diary, and something very interesting happened today.

  A geologist exposed a mining company, saying that they were secretly studying alien buildings, and released a video. It's fascinating, but I guess the FBC agents are busy again.

  …

   Seeing this, the player suddenly realized.

I see!

   So it is!

  Inorganic lifeforms...alien structures...

  Combined with what Brother Banana said just now, I am afraid that this so-called alien building is not a real 'building' at all...

   But a living 'inorganic substance'!

  So, this mining company... may be researching the ‘Shenyin’!

   'It' has reappeared!

   So people's headaches are back!

  Thinking of this, the players felt their scalps go numb.

  If people’s headache phenomenon is actually a high-latitude existence in consciousness, and this existence can make people see the illusion of the dead person reappearing in the world.

  Then this abnormal phenomenon is...

   The players dare not think anymore.

   At this time, Brother Banana's voice sounded again in the video.

  [This mining company, I guess there must be personnel from the Control Bureau investigating inside. Because the next entry in this diary is that the Bureau started a project called 'Pneuma (soul)'. And this project is about research on the level of spirit and consciousness. Protagonist No. 2 doesn't know the significance of this research. But those of you in front of the screen, I believe you already understand. ]

  [The FBC agents in the mining company must have found something and reported it to headquarters. That's why the Control Bureau initiated this research, just to know whether there are any 'abnormalities' in human consciousness! ]

  [Now, we know the background of the parallel world, the situation and crisis here, and the existence of the 'God Seal'. ]

  [Then, we can understand why the Control Bureau wants to eliminate humans. ]

  [At the same time, I will also explain in detail how the No. 2 protagonist in the parallel world, under such a crisis background, changed step by step from a scientist to a monster boss. ]

  [Then first of all, this starts with the Pneuma (soul) plan carried out by the Control Bureau of the parallel world and the successful resurrection of the previous director...]

   I don’t know how to write this chapter, I tried to peel off the layers as smoothly as possible.

  

  

  (end of this chapter)
