Overturned Tower

"It's definitely not a human being, but some kind of heterogeneous monster. I just realized it at the time, and my brain was hit hard, and I passed out directly.

"Probably the demons sealed in her body were unsealed, or the body was taken away by the evil thoughts gathered in the depths of the dream world... But no matter what, she can't be a pure human being.

"Because she directly entered my dream. She revealed to me the knowledge about [End of the World]."

Chapter 59 Challenge Book from the Doomsday

"...the end of the world?"

"To be precise, it is the knowledge after the end of the world...or in other words, the knowledge of 'when will a civilization be judged to have been destroyed'."

The girl closed her eyes slightly, and her inorganic eyeballs were filled with fear and despair: "It was only then that I realized...there are so many possibilities of destruction in the world.

"She said I had the potential to be Twilight.

"'Infinite possibilities are born in binary. Yin and Yang, light and darkness, heaven and earth, right and wrong, existence and non-existence, good and evil. But if there is only [0] or [1], it is meaningless nothingness. If you use infinite 0 and 1 to describe this world, and if any one of them is taken out, the world will collapse and destroy in an instant.'

"...that's what she told me."

The dark-haired girl said softly.

She opened her eyes slightly—the dim yellow filled her pupils, and her hair fluttered automatically without any wind.

Everything in the room seemed to be penetrated by invisible threads.

Those "dolls" scattered all over the ground, or... the synthetic people who "dream", also climbed up from the ground like sleepwalking.

Ringo, who was listening in a daze, was startled and stood in front of Russell.

But she was afraid of the "gun" on Naluo-7's knee and the bomb hidden below, but she didn't dare to do it.

He could only stop between the two of them without moving forward or backward, and to express his attitude.

"From then on, I realized that there might be another 'Twilight' in this world. Later, when I learned that the monster took a student... I guessed that you might be 'Twilight'.

"Ultramarine... Or, Russell. The psychic power you used in the Battle of Fame should be your mother's 'invisible weapon'. Everyone believes that your psychic power is inherited from your mother Alice .

"But anyone who knows Alice will know...you are completely different from her in terms of personality, habits, hobbies, and wishes. The same spiritual power will only be born in people with similar personalities, so the spiritual power is similar Even other people will give people a similar feeling. But your habits are different from your mother's in every way, so why can you awaken Alice's psionic power just right?

"Since then, I have doubted the nature of your psychic energy. Later, I saw on the Internet that you used the power of the Holy Order to heal others. And... the 'Little Liuli' who was clearly killed by you , but she became the "Godfather" of the downtown area with her posture before she was transformed into a human body. I can clearly see that the man named "Barber" has all the details of his body, and even his voiceprint. Blue robin' is exactly the same.

"So I guess... your real spiritual power is not to steal the spiritual power and appearance of the dead, right?"

The girl sneered: "I have transformed into thousands and merged with many living beings, while you swallow and contain everything of the dead. From this point of view, we can indeed be called 'positive and negative'." Bipolar."

"so what?"

Russell pushed Ringo in front of him to the side, gently pulled him behind him, and asked back: "Are you going to kill me here? Kill your old enemy, take out one of the numbers in the binary, and destroy it." this world?"

"Do not."

The girl shook her head slightly: "It's easy for me to kill you at this moment. You can't be called equivalent to this world.

"As long as I detonate this bomb, you will die. If you are still lucky enough to survive, I can also control all the firepower of this empty island to launch a cover attack on you.

"The virus carrying 'me' has basically spread to all corners of this empty island. And this body is just a commemorative existence... Naraku-7 symbolizes my first 'download'. But it won't be the only time, and it won't be the last.

"You will die, but I won't. This is my confidence - you can't log in to the online world and kill my body. But your physical body can always be destroyed."

"Oh?"

Russell was not panicked: "I think you are bluffing.

"Even if you can infect others and live on the file. The virus infection of the file must have a source. If you can really control the entire sky island now, you don't need to hand you over to me through the executive department. There is no need to hand me over here—on top of your well-prepared bomb. But once you are exposed, you may face the vigilance of the elf directors and the dilemma of not being able to reproduce yourself.

"It may even pull up a black wall to catch and isolate you directly from the online world... The so-called 'psychic hackers' are able to use psychic powers to attack and defend in the virtual world. In front of the digital brave, The digital you is nothing more than an ordinary monster that can be defeated."

"Ah, I was found out."

The black-haired girl with a weak appearance smiled, and did not pretend to be in front of Russell, but replied sincerely: "I really haven't controlled the entire Tongshen Island... The city group like a hive has given permission. The space for my existence. But it also makes it difficult for me to completely control everything.”

"If you have to transfer files online to transplant the main body, I don't think there are so many copies on Tongshen Island."

Russell's expression was flat.

The powerful control of the "monkey-faced eagle" lies in the fact that he must package and send the entire body... It seems that the contagiousness is comparable to that of a deer that has abandoned most of its own consciousness, and thus its "volume" has become extremely small The first image is far worse.

When the deer head image infects a person, he doesn't realize that he is infected at all.She can hide herself in a QR code, and the download is completed in the instant of scanning.

But if you want to download "Monkey Face Eagle", there is an obvious "download" process.Even if the Internet speed on Sky Island is extremely fast, it still takes a few seconds.

Looking back now, in fact, Russell should have realized that something was wrong at that time-because the file was much larger than the one Russell used in school before.

The increase in file size was even visible to the naked eye... If other people are vigilant, it is not impossible to prevent the monkey-faced eagle from being infected.

Russell added in his mind.

But hearing Russell's words, the girl laughed.

She asked back, "Do you know what my job is here?"

"Are you talking about your disguised job? A doll shop, or something."

Russell didn't care.

But the words of "Twilight" made Russell's eyes widen: "It's... a job of selling your body."

She smiled and brushed her hair, showing off her immature but charming figure.

Not for money.

It's for implanting the virus.

"If you are happy to serve customers, you always have to connect directly to exchange friends. After all, mailboxes are not safe... At the age of Naraku-7, it is considered illegal in Tongshen Island. But if you contact through friends, you can No permanent emails will be left as evidence. While the physical link is in place, another 'I' will naturally be implanted in their thoughts.

"Guess what, I've been here for so long... How many guests have I received in total? And after these scums are controlled by 'I', how many copies of 'I' have they copied?

"When they are physically connected with their family and friends, 'I' can enter the new body along the data line.

"For now, 'I' has controlled 38 bodies. Compared to the people on this empty island, this is a very small number...but what are you going to do?

"Do you want to kill these 38 people to suppress the process of my replication? But I think you also know that it will not hurt my fundamentals."

"Twilight" smiled, and replied: "I won't kill you. At least I won't kill anyone until I infect all the humans in this world...or in other words, infect the vast majority of humans. No Modifying their personalities will not annex their will... Unless the 'I' being used is killed, I will not descend into a new body.

"Because I'm pretty sure that human beings will never unite as long as they don't see the desperation and crisis that is imminent and close at hand. Even if they know of my existence, as long as I don't get them into trouble, they won't be aware of it." To realize the seriousness of the problem, but to live a normal life with a fluke mentality. The so-called 'incubation period'...that's what it means.

"You can make audio recordings, video recordings. Or simply fabricate evidence... whatever you want.

"Come and stop me from watching before I finish 'incubating', before the end arrives.

"—or, before they 'become' me, you 'become' them?

"My... the same kind."

After saying that, the black-haired girl smiled sweetly and removed her finger from the gun.

She wasn't holding a gun, or a bomb detonator.

All that needs to be said has been said.That kind of threat is meaningless.

The other synthetics just looked at Russell and the others, motionless.

"……it is good."

After being silent for a long time, Russell took a deep breath and replied word by word: "I'm next.

"—This is from the challenge of 'Doomsday'."

Chapter 60 The Future Guided by Prophecy

——What the monkey-faced eagle pursues is such a distorted way of living.

Although his own life was threatened, Russell felt a kind of pity.

Staring at the girl with dim yellow eyes, Russell read the essence of the other party.

Like a moth practicing sucking on a fresh flower petal.

"This is probably one thought of heaven and one thought of hell..."

Russell murmured softly.

If the monkey-faced eagle did not choose to "copy and separate" himself after uploading his thoughts, he would still be able to maintain his personality and humanity.

Even under the coercion of Chairman Sai Lun, he lost his material body, projected his consciousness into the network, and turned into an electronic ghost wandering in the data world... He can still retain the self-esteem that belongs to human beings.

He doesn't even need to do anything—even if he descends directly into the body of Naraku-7 and combines the two wills into one, it will not fundamentally affect or change anything.

But what he used to fuse with Naraku-7 was not his "all".He took all of Naraku-7's personality, but what he gave was only a copy of himself...

From that moment on, he changed from a living human being to an infinitely proliferating thinking virus.

It was also from then on that he became the "Egg of Dusk".

At present, she is still a monkey-faced eagle in essence, not the "dusk" she claims.Although there is a copy used to fuse with Naraku-7 and descend in front of him.But it's like a marionette in the hands of the "Monkey Eagle Program"... or rather, the "Monkey Eagle Virus".

The essence of this spreading virus is still just a monkey-faced eagle.

True twilight did not hatch.Now it's just an egg that doesn't even have an embryo.

When she really made up her mind to take the final step—split herself into countless parts and implant them into the brains of everyone in the world.

Submissive, rebellious, aware, unaware... Many mixed and entangled spirits are entwined and gathered in an instant, how much of the part of the personality that belongs to the "monkey-faced eagle" can be left after being washed away?

At that time, her meaning of existence is just a conduit - a tool for connecting the consciousness of human beings all over the world.The "pure monkey-faced eagle" stored in the network can't control the overall situation at all.

All human will, consciousness, and subconsciousness will be completely condensed by her, forming a distorted and invisible aggregate.

—Become the so-called "god of the crowd".

At the end of the road she pursues, she will inevitably face the cliff of "losing herself".If she doesn't take the last step, all previous efforts will be in vain; but if she takes this step, everything she has so far will be destroyed by her own hands.

"You are not the egg of the evening at all..."

Russell sighed softly: "You are just the eggshell that is pregnant with new life."

"If that is my fate, I accept it."

The girl replied flatly.

She could sense that Russell had read her essence.

She can also vaguely realize what her future is.

"In the final analysis, if the so-called 'twilight' is really the embodiment of the end of the world. Then it cannot have a real personality. A person's time is short and limited, and the world he comes into contact with is only in human society. A fragment of it. And human civilization is so small compared to this world. The 'personality' that can be used to carry human rationality, in the eyes of the twilight of the annihilation, is such a small container."

The girl stared at Russell, as if looking at the moon at night.

In her words, there is a certain awareness: "If that moment really comes... I will not escape.

"This world is filthy and corrupt. It is indeed time to be destroyed.

"I think you should also know that the resources of this world are about to be exhausted."

Hearing this, Ringo beside Russell suddenly widened his eyes.

She cast disbelieving eyes on Russell, hoping he would yell at him.

But Russell just didn't say a word, and continued to watch the girl.

Seeing her reaction, the girl in the wheelchair couldn't help laughing. She clapped her hands and raised her voice to let out a crisp laugh: "Look at her, look at her! How shocked she is, what kind of emotion is in her eyes?" fear.

"Just like her reaction, other people will only react more than her. Once this news is announced or leaked, it will definitely trigger an unprecedented panic that will sweep the world... This time it will usher in the largest and largest event in human history. The last war. Not to compete for anything, but to consume the lives of the 'eliminated'.

"The last war has completely destroyed the land. How many of the seven empty islands we can use will be left after the war? In any case, it is impossible for humans to make non-renewable resources reappear. Even if humans The number is reduced to one-seventh, one-twentieth, one percent... It will also usher in an irreversible end.

"It's like a person who has been pronounced by a doctor to have an incurable disease, and will usher in a slow death in pain and exhaustion. In this case, it's better to let it die a little faster - let its uncorrupted internal organs Give it to me. In this way, its death can be turned into the nourishment of my new life."

Hearing this, Ringo frowned in disgust.

She took a breath, held it in her mouth, but couldn't get it out.

She seemed to want to refute the other party, but she couldn't think of what to say for a while.

And Russell just closed his eyes and whispered softly:

"...What arrogance."

"Why," the girl asked back, "did I say something wrong?

"From a rational point of view, since the demise of the world is irreversible, why can't it be used to support you and me?"

...It was the mentor who killed her.
