hunting light

In the next instant, the scenery around Ian changed instantly.

Walls, furniture, window views, and even the floor, all turned into fragments and disappeared into the darkness.Only the sofa under Ian and the coffee table in front of him remained the same.

Ian sat on the sofa, suspended in the darkness.He didn't change his face, but the amber tea soup in the teacup in his hand rippled layer by layer.

"That's a story from 2 years ago." Guang Ji said.

With its sound, starlight gradually appeared in the darkness.Starlight forms galaxies, and the hot and bright light of the sun in the galaxies cuts through the night of the universe and shines on the stars.

One of the blue and green planets is rapidly approaching Ian.

"This is our home planet, the Earth, and the birthplace of your humans. Humans have lived on it for millions of years. But it's a pity..."

After the glass orb-like planet approached, it was not difficult to find that there were fires on the surface one after another, the smoke and dust from the volcanic eruption covered the clouds and the sun, and the white waves of the tsunami were engulfing the land.

"A geological movement that once happened to it was too strong, causing the rapid extinction of species. Humans also had to leave their homes and began a space wandering that lasted thousands of years."

"But before that, you and I were both invented." The influence of a starship that Ian was no stranger to surfaced above the coffee table.This is the flagship of that human immigration ship.

It was Ian's dream, the starship where he and Leon had spent countless lives together.He, who is also the main body, wanted to destroy, but failed, and now he is mooring the starship in the basement under his feet.

"This used to be my body." Guang Ji said, "It's called 'Guang Ji', and you gave me the name—or, your body. You are not a naturally created human being, Yi Ann. All the guides and sentries are new humans bred from the laboratory!"

Laboratories and rows of petri dishes filled with humans replaced starships.Scientists in white coats are busy.

"You are experimental products, humanoid weapons!" Guangji's voice became cold, "Sentries were the first to be manufactured. Scientists originally wanted to create a group of strongest humans to adapt to the rapidly deteriorating environment. Failed Products become disgusting half-human monsters, and successful products become sentinels."

In the audio and video, all kinds of mutated "human beings" are struggling and roaring in cages or petri dishes. This scene is like an exhibition of demons from hell.

A somewhat familiar creature suddenly caught Ian's attention.It is only the size of a child, with a dark body, sharp claws and a long tail, and it swims swiftly in the dark water.

"Water puppet." Guang Ji said, "I helped you escape from its siege. It has a low IQ among the failed products, but it has strong adaptability. When humans boarded the ship, many failed products I also brought the frozen embryos with me, maybe I hope they will come in handy in the future. Some alien beasts were bred and caused quite a biochemical crisis. I had to spend many years helping humans clean up this mess ——It's getting too far, sorry."

The image of the mutated human disappeared, and then six young human figures emerged.

Even though he no longer has the memory of his body, even though he only had brief contact with these people in his dream, when Ian saw these faces for the first time, the residual reaction of his body made his eyes warm.

"Sentries are successful mutants, but they are not perfect." Guang Ji said, "Their five senses are too strong, which makes them prone to allergies and suffer from mania. In severe cases, it may even lead to loss of senses or even mental breakdown. In order to treat them This symptom, as an auxiliary new mutant 'guide' was born. They are born to connect with the sentinel's spiritual network and channel their out-of-control emotions."

"Scientists later discovered that guides have unlimited potential. They selected the best batch of guide genes and bred six top guides, also known as 'bright guides'. Their spiritual equivalent is immeasurable, and they can Simultaneously mentally stimulate a large number of ordinary people and sentries... I think you are already familiar with this ability, Ian."

"Yes." Ian stared blankly at the six figures, "They are..."

"They are the first batch of light guides for mankind." Guang Ji said.

Following his introduction, the six images were enlarged one by one.

The older black-haired girl stood up first: "Her name is Chu Huan, and her code name is 'Nuwa'. She was also bred by Dr. Zhou Yun, the general manager of the 'Light Guide' project, based on her own genes. "

"This silver-haired boy is called Odin, and his code name is 'White Emperor'. His name comes from the main god in ancient Norse mythology."

"This is 'Xuandi', named Brahma, and his name comes from the god of creation in ancient Hinduism."

"This is 'Red Emperor', named Lucy. This is the name of the ancestor of human beings on the ancient earth."

"This is the 'Yellow Emperor', named Atum, also called Atun. The name comes from a sun god among the ancient Egyptian gods, who is also the creator of the universe."

"And this." The images of the rest of the people disappeared, leaving only the last boy with black hair and white clothes, looking at Ian from a distance of ten thousand years.

"This is 'Qingdi', and his name is Ian." Guangji said in a long voice, "The name of a saint in ancient Hebrew also means 'gift from God'. He is your body, Ian. 'Qingdi' is the god of spring and the god of flowers in ancient Chinese mythology."

Although he knew the truth a long time ago, at this moment, Ian didn't need to pretend, he still showed shock.

"There are six fleets for humans to immigrate to outer galaxies." Guang Ji said, "Each fleet has a light guide as the system administrator to lead the voyage."

The alarm bell in Ian's mind rang: Guangji completely ignored the part where the Dark Sentinel also participated in the piloting, and even pretended that the man Leon Yang did not exist at all.

Ian said, "That system is you, isn't it?"

"Yes." Guang Ji admitted frankly, "Your genetic data will generate a one-time login password, allowing you to manage me as an administrator. The human beings in the giant cetus come from the team led by you. This fleet."

"This is the story of the Holy Lord..." Ian whispered.

"Yes, Ian, you are the real Holy Master!" Guang Ji said with a smile.

Ian no longer knew what language to use to express his emotions at the moment was more appropriate.

"5000 years ago, we safely arrived at the constellation of Cetus." The image changed again, and the earth disappeared, replaced by a nebula image that resembled a whale playing in the waves.

This is the galaxy they are in at the moment, the constellation Cetus.

The spaceship landed on the planet, and the picture began to fast forward.

Humans dig wasteland and build houses.The mechanical attendants got off the starship and helped humans tirelessly.

In the picture, there is always a young man in white clothes.A head of black hair, handsome and delicate eyebrows, gentle and firm eyes.Wherever he went, people respected him.The mechanical servants bowed to him.

"In the following years, the two of us have been helping mankind to build a new homeland. The power of machinery, coupled with the wisdom of AI, is far more powerful than human beings themselves. Without me, it is difficult for human beings to move an inch in this star field. "

The arrogance and contempt for human beings unconsciously revealed in Guang Ji's tone, pierced Ian's skin like a thin needle.

"And then?" Ian looked confused.

"Then," Guang Ji's tone suddenly changed, "Humans kill you!"

The image was stained with blood.The picture became very chaotic.Cannon fire, explosions, and shouts intertwined.

"Humans became greedy." Guangji said angrily, "They want to use me to do more things. But you refused. Because you think that human beings can't rely too much on my power. Unexpectedly, human beings just want to get rid of you, directly Control me!"

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the "Guangji" starship fell from midair into the shallow sea.

The city on the coast is the ancient city of Xilin.

"You died at their hands... I was seriously injured by them in order to save you, and the program... was also tampered with by them!"

The pain in Guang Ji's tone was so real, if Ian hadn't learned the truth from Emperor Brad's manuscript, it would be hard for him not to believe it.

"They became my highest authority administrators. In my program, the 'users' were all human beings. But they were changed to the Pope! The leaders discussed the countermeasures, and then the Pope issued instructions to me. I remember Hate, remember everything, yet have to obey their orders!"

For thousands of years, countless figures of popes and elders of the Holy See have passed by, making people dazzled.

"The rulers of all countries also know the truth. They colluded with the Holy See to cleanse this period of history. They replaced you with me, Ian. However, they did not let you go."

"Why?" Ian felt that after dealing with Guangji for so long, he was finally close to an answer he wanted to know, "I...my body, haven't they killed it? This is the same as my birth now. Related, is it?"

"Yes." Guang Ji's tone was full of pride again, like a child asking for credit from his master, "I secretly kept your embryo. I raised you. In order to let you better integrate into the current human society, I I also modified a little bit of your genes to make you an Omega. I asked Xiali to adopt you. You were able to grow up safely in Xilin under my protection!"

The Xilin star appeared in the image, quickly zooming in.Passing through the clouds, the ancient city of Xilin came rushing towards us.

The Pope's Palace, the Square, the Tower of the Holy Spirit...

Ian closed his eyes in dizziness, and when he opened them again, the surroundings had returned to the appearance of a living room.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, flocks of snow pigeons whirled around the tower, and then swooped down to the houses at the foot of the mountain.Inside the house, there is still white smoke floating on the teacup, and the piano music is flowing soothingly.

"It was you... who raised me?" Ian looked around with a look of shock, "Weren't you still under the control of the Holy See at that time?"

"But I always have my own consciousness." Guang Ji said, "In other words, although I obey their orders, protecting you is one of the original laws in my code. This law is higher than all orders of the Holy See. When the two conflict, I will create a replica version to protect you."

An idea flashed in Ian's mind, and he asked, "Protect me, what's the specific content?"

Guang Ji's voice froze for a moment, and when he spoke again, it was already a blunt and formulaic tone.

"Re-cultivate you, take care of your healthy and safe growth. Monitor you without interfering with your normal life, and provide assistance and treatment when your life is threatened. Your life will be above everything else!"

This is what the confused Guang Ji said to Ian back then!

It is also what it has been doing for a long time: regard Ian's life safety above all else.
