Chapter 1177 Chapter 14 · "TE·Seal with Me ()"

Five years later, the black-haired girl was in control of the situation and no one could disobey her.

She no longer called herself "the savior" but changed to a new self-proclaimed name - "God". She wanted to rule mankind from the perspective of faith.

People accepted the title, after all they did regard the savior as a god.

The black-haired girl had wandered in the vast universe before and knew the coordinates of some civilizations, so she chose a civilization as the first one she was going to invade.

Then, she began to take measures - the old world was filled with black fog, she extracted the destructive factors in the black fog and released the black fog into that civilization.

Saving is difficult, but destroying is easy. All you have to do is put your own black fog on others.

At the same time, she began to seduce the people of that civilization, starting from within that civilization, causing that civilization to begin to collapse.

Those who are bewitched by her will be affected by the black fog and their eyes will turn bloodshot. At the same time, they will gradually become memory-destroying, manic, and unable to distinguish between friend and foe.

This symptom is called by the locals——

……

【Deletion disease】.

……

The people of that civilization learned that their civilization had been targeted by invaders. They realized that it was another civilization that was attacking them.

So, they called the old world——

……

【He Wei】.

……

As for the girl who bewitched them, they called her——

……

[The God of Hewei].

……

……

[“I’ve heard a lot about you, Asa Akto. Welcome. We finally caught you.”]

[After Su Mingan landed, he heard a gentle voice in his ear. ]

[“As you can see, this world is not beautiful. There is no blue sky or green grass, only endless [black fog]... But it doesn’t matter. It won’t be long before we will own your world.” The god said with a smile. ]

……

Another five years passed.

The black-haired girl's methods became increasingly cruel.

In the vote that year, 42% of people were unwilling to plunder other civilizations. They marched in demonstrations, established armed organizations, and wanted to overthrow the current government.

"——Stop looting! Stop invading!!"

"——I'd rather die than become an executioner!"

"That black-haired girl is not the real savior at all. We want the real savior!!"

"The government should step down! Replace them!"

A violent conflict broke out. A large number of people who upheld the will of their ancestors refused to listen to the black-haired girl. The war between the supporters and the opposition was raging.

The abuse of the Black Mist intensified, and the Deficiency Disease began to spread in the Old Ones.

During this period, Changge was writing "Long Song of Freedom".

Today he went to a temple fair, and the war had not yet spread here. He sat on the eaves, eating a candied haws in his hand.

He has been traveling for a long time.

The amber morning light, the earth that has not yet awakened, the village with white walls and black tiles, the moonlight at night... He traveled all over the earth with the necklace to feel the beauty that he had never touched before.

They saw the golden wheat waves, rolling and shining in the wind. The necklace said that this was the result of the farmers' hard work.

They visited a weaving workshop, and the ladies laughed and chatted about neighborhood gossip.

It turns out that the actors at the temple fair can change their faces. It turns out that maltose can be used to draw beautiful paintings. It turns out that the candied haws are not gourds but hawthorns.

Changge gradually realized that "human beings" had so many glorious and beautiful things. With the gentle company of the necklace, he even forgot that he had suffered before, and only the hoarse voice reminded him.

"Changge, we have been traveling for so long, have you ever seen lotus flowers?" On the eaves, the necklace lay in his hand.

"Can flowers bloom in water?" Changge shook her legs: "But it's winter now, they won't bloom."

The necklace flickered silently.

Changge turned around inadvertently and suddenly saw...

wow——

The water in the pond is full of overlapping flowers and leaves, all in bloom.

The lotus swayed, pink and white hugged each other tightly, standing tall and graceful. The milky white color in the whole room flashed into Changge's pupils, and he forgot to breathe.

He smiled, and for a moment, he forgot the shadow of war that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

"Is it beautiful?" a voice came from behind.

"Very beautiful...thank you." Changge turned back excitedly, but suddenly froze.

A young man with black hair and black eyes stood behind him: "I have returned to human form, so I will give you a lotus. Thank you for staying with me for so long."

Changge was stunned for a moment.

After spending so much time together, he had already realized that the Savior was just like his peers. It turned out that the Savior was so vivid, not as heavy as described in history books.

But soon, a heavy feeling came over me.

...Restoring their human form means that they have to go back.

"Have you thought of a solution?" Changge asked.

"Yes. While you were traveling, I secretly contacted the central government, and we have prepared for a coup," said the young man.

"It's not a good time now." Changge said. Now is not a good time, the black-haired girl is too powerful.

"If we delay any longer, more people will die in that civilization." The young man said, "Changge, I have thought about this for a long time in the past few decades - am I really the savior? I once swore to you that I am. But when I first met the black-haired girl... I could feel that neither she nor I seemed to be the savior."

"What?" Changge was stunned.

"I have most of the savior's memories and have the same appearance. But this does not necessarily prove... that I am him." The young man said in a low voice.

"No." Changge stared into his eyes and shook his shoulders: "You are the savior, Brother Necklace, I only believe in Brother Necklace!"

The young man laughed.

The lotus flowers in the pond bloomed again amid laughter, revealing their frosty whiteness.

"Okay. I'll try."

……

Changge couldn't sleep that night.

He stared at the necklace box in his hand all night.

Savior, beacon of humanity, leader of civilization... so many heavy titles weighed on the back of that young man. But Changge only realized now that the savior he trusted so much was really young.

He closed his eyes and put the written music score in his arms. He originally planned to give it to the young man, but he decided to wait until things were settled. It would be bad if it was lost.

The next day, he watched the young man leave.

But a few days later, new news came.

——The black-haired girl noticed the coup and locked up General Qin. She claimed that Necklace Brother was a fake. Soon after, news came that people had caught Necklace Brother.

Changge didn't know if this was a trap or the truth, but he couldn't wait.

Pick up the sword and walk back.

Over the past few decades, under the guidance of the necklace, Changge has developed a very strong strength. When he rushed to the central government, few people could stop him.

Go forward and draw your sword.

Stepping through the blood in the mud, moving forward step by step.

The foolish believers attacked him and were knocked down by him.

The blue moon was high in the sky, and there was silence in his ears.

People called him a traitor to civilization who attracted overlapping shadows.

He should be condemned by all men and cut into pieces.

They scolded him - a white-eyed wolf who could never be tamed, a fake dog.

——But what did he do.

He recorded his own voice repeatedly, calling upon the savior who could plan a millennium.

He stood on a platform to ask people not to become executioners, and was beaten until his vocal cords were torn.

He has traveled all over the world for decades and has been scolded, beaten, and expelled because of his appearance. Love and happiness do not belong to him, but so what.

——He wanted Su Mingan to get what he deserved.

Happiness, health, glory, respect. It doesn't matter what. He is a shoddy copy, but Su Mingan is not. Su Mingan should not bear the accusation of a thousand people, nor should he become the executioner of civilization. Su Mingan's ideal is precious, and he wants to protect this ideal.

This world always likes to break the hearts of idealists, break the pride of heroes, and make good people be criticized by thousands of people - but he doesn't want this.

This world shouldn't be like this.

Why does bad money always drive out good money, why are evil people always happier than good people, and why has "saving the world" become a non-mainstream thinking?

Gradually, he saw acquaintances on the road - acquaintances who used to eat with him in the cafeteria, some of whom had been imprisoned, some died in the coup, and some were standing on this road - and they took up weapons to stop him.

"Don't go over there, Changge. You're trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. Plunder is the essence of civilization." Xia Jiawu shook his head, trying to make him wake up.

But he just swung his sword and knocked Xia Jiawu away.

"Changge. The trend is irreversible. Please turn back." Su Meimei said timidly.

But he didn't even look at it.

The security guards who once beat him so hard that he couldn't resist were now vulnerable in front of him.

He moved forward, slashing with his sword, the statue collapsed, and the god's light was tainted.

Changge had walked this road many times before, when he was still a tool.

At that time, the sky was still blue and there were many flowers.

Old man Cheng Lishan was standing on the side of the road and smiling at him.

The lively and cheerful Dong Qi is holding a book.

Su Meimei stood at the end.

In those days, the mountains were majestic and the rivers were free. There were no gods or punishments, no plunder or red-eye.

The sky is bright, the flowers are lush and green, and the nightingales are still singing.

He ran forward, and in a trance he seemed to have returned to more than 40 years ago. He smelled the familiar scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the air, but when he looked up, everyone was gone. He was the only one still running on the road, his legs covered in blood.

When he rushed into the hall, he saw the black-haired girl lying on the ground, looking very weak. Regardless of why she was so weak, Changge rushed forward and pierced her with a sword.

The black-haired girl spat out a mouthful of blood, and Changge then discovered that her body was covered with traces of skin and flesh ulcers.

"Ha! Deficiency disease! It's actually so serious. It's you who caused the spread of deficiency disease, and now you're sick too. It's really karma, you deserve it!" Changge laughed out loud, feeling more refreshed than ever before.

The black-haired girl looked at him without any emotion.

She raised her hand, as if to touch his face, but he immediately dodged it. She smiled, then dropped her hand weakly:

"To continue civilization...what's wrong with that?"

"Idealism and realism... what's the difference? It's just that your necklace brother believes in the former, and I believe in the latter. What qualifications do you have to mock my ideals?"

Changge's smile faded slightly.

He also seemed to feel that there was nothing to be happy about.

It seems like everyone was supposed to be the same, but just took different paths.

Even if he hadn't come, she would have died if she was this sick.

"Brother Necklace is the real savior a hundred years ago. You are a fake, right?" He was just eager to verify the answer.

The black-haired girl smiled, her almond eyes slightly closed, her facial features still as gentle as ever:

"No."

"So far... all the 'Su Ming'an you have seen, all the voices of 'Su Ming'an you have heard... are not the real person."

"The real him has not yet arrived."

"Your necklace brother and I are just..."

She took out a piece of paper from her arms, which was stained with blood, and closed her eyes.

Changge drew his sword in a daze and looked at the black-haired girl lying in a pool of blood.

She claimed to be a god, above all others, able to call the wind and rain and do whatever she wanted, and she played with an entire civilization in the palm of her hand.

But in the end, it was just a corpse.

...Perhaps she anticipated that her time was up and she would no longer be able to save civilization, so she waited here.

At least in this way, after her death, Changge and his men can take over the power and continue the rescue in another way, instead of falling into endless infighting.

Changge pursed her lips, and the smile disappeared from her face... Since she was not, and Necklace Brother was not either, then what were they? They could obviously answer any questions about Su Mingan, and they had the same face and voice.

correct.

From the very beginning, they all appeared in the form of a necklace. Could the necklace contain any clues?
Changge took out the necklace. He suppressed his pain and opened for the first time the necklace that he cherished so much.

Then, he froze.

He saw... inside the necklace, there were not pearls and jade, but... a mechanical chip.

There were footsteps behind me, and a young man with black hair and black eyes walked over.

The two looked at each other, and Changge's voice became hoarse:
"……you."

Grief was stuck in my throat and I wanted to say something but I couldn't utter a single word.

The black-haired young man stared at the chip in Changge's hand and suddenly smiled. He finally understood what he was:

"So that's it. So this is my truth. So I'm not even life."

"I've remembered it. I was originally sent to your world to invade you. However, my will overcame the mission... I actually did the exact opposite and decided to help you save the world."

Changge didn't say anything.

She just walked up to him silently, hugged him gently and comforted him.

At the same time, the black-haired girl's body turned into a source of light and disappeared, revealing the last note she left behind -

……

[I and countless "Su Ming'an", including Brother Necklace. ]

We do not have freedom.

【We do not have independent lives.】

【We do not have the right to live freely. 】

【Because we are just... a program. 】

【We are just... a program that was dropped. 】

[Have similar looks, voices, abilities, and thinking patterns. ]

[Our real name is——]

……

Changge closed her eyes and hugged Necklace Brother tightly. The other party was trembling.

"Don't be afraid..." Changge soothed him, even though he was also afraid of the definite answer -

……

……

【——"Su Mingan bot"】

……

……

[“I think passive defense will only lead to the decline of civilization.” Liming said: “Only by finding a lower civilization that is more backward than ours and seizing the source of its civilization can we prolong the life of the ruined world.”]

[“Okay, in these twenty days, I have recorded all of Su Ming’an’s words, deeds, temperament, and habits, and created a Su Ming’an AI.” Xi Ke said: “I can release the Su Ming’an AI into the universe, and it will keep searching. Once it locks on the location of other civilizations, we can invade them.”]

[“Xi Ke, do you believe in ideals or in reality?” Liming shook his head: “The ruins world does not need a new world source for the time being. We are not in a hurry to invade other civilizations. Maybe we can find other ways to prolong the life of civilization.”]

[“Then there’s no need to deploy it yet.” Xike looked into the distance: “I don’t want to take the path of invasion either. Even though that’s very realistic, I prefer to believe in ideals. Let’s find another way.”]

[——If we believe in reality, then sooner or later we will embark on the path of plunder. This is the destiny of civilization.]

【——Believe in the ideal, then we will always remain pure white. 】

[——Chapter 830: OE: Self-Devourer]

……

And among the countless "possibilities"——

There is always a pair of "Dawn and Xi Ke".

Selected...

……

——Believe in reality, not ideals.

……

……

[Changge picked up a necklace in the room: "Whose necklace is this? How did it appear in my room..."]

[“Aren’t you guys calling me from the universe? I’m Su Ming’an.” The necklace said.]
