Chapter 1167 "Historical Text"

on the stand.

The tattered Neil is distressing.

The melted armor, after solidification, left pieces on the human skeleton, like tumors, ugly and miserable.

Bella didn't know what to do here either.

Now they have no master, and Bella has no one to talk to, maybe they just want to find someone... even if it is not a person, to talk to.

After the awakened omnic, there are still many topics to talk about.

For example, how do you take care of yourself, what to eat, and what to drink.

But when Bella saw the broken humanoid skeleton, she had an idea.

"How about, Neil, let me fix it for you?"

Neil, who was thinking about it, suddenly raised his head when he heard it.

She glanced at Bella and shook her head again.

"no."

Bella was very surprised when she heard this: "Why?"

"Only the younger brother, only l, can dismantle nier."

What a break.

Bella curled her lips, inadvertently imagining the strange picture of two omnics dismantling each other, and no longer insisted.

By the way, common topic.

She had an idea and started to mention l.

She told how l took the initiative to contact them in the first place, and when she disappeared.

The story was not long, but Neil listened carefully and focused, without moving.

"Beep beep!"

suddenly.

An alarm sounded from Neil's body.

"Illusion!"

Neil forcefully pulled herself off the frame. She was about to grab Bella, but she thought that her violent actions might hurt the "human" in front of her. After sorting out her words, she made her request: "Nier, Request to log into 'Light'."

Bella was dumbfounded when she heard this.

Only now did she know that omnics used "ports" to log into Mirage.

She saw Neil's urgency. This is a thinking omnic. Neil may have "thought" something through the conversation just now.

Bella quickly helped the elder over.

"Cough cough cough...Miss Neil," the elder explained, "The world has been destroyed, there are no 'mines' outside, and District 11... has no 'magic light'."

"Brother, l, he is in the illusion."

Neil couldn't explain the working principle of "Phantom Light" in terms that humans could understand. But what Bella said just now reminded her. Neil combined her "thinking", and she thought of a possibility. Since the younger brother has the ability to protect her from the terrifying destructive power of "Starfire", it can be deduced by the same reasoning that the younger brother has an 85% probability of surviving the "Spark".

Now that the surface of the earth has become scorched earth, after eliminating all "impossible options", the only remaining possibility is: l live in the phantom light.

Neil is pretty sure,

My brother is 100% not human.

Weak human beings cannot survive "Starfire", but non-humans can.

There is nothing wrong with this logic.

silently,

Neil raised the probability of "l surviving" to 95.8%.

There is drama.

Zheng~

Seeing that the elder and Bella were still hesitating, Neil threw out the steel blade without saying a word and held it in front of her.

While holding it up, Neil apologized: "I'm sorry, but Nier must log in to 'Mirage'."

My younger brother once said that if a human being does something bad, he must apologize.

As long as she apologized in advance, she would be forgiven for whatever she did.

So before she popped the knife, she apologized first, so let's do it first.

The elder's lips trembled twice, Neil's knife lit up, and he apologized again, so they naturally compromised.

What clear rules and iron laws are not worth mentioning in front of force.

Of course, Neil apologized, and they didn't feel so uncomfortable, who didn't have any difficulties.

So comforting himself, the elder ordered someone to move an "illegal port" into the room.

Bella spent a lot of time debugging the equipment and connecting the network cables.

In fact, for Neil, she is an omnic, so there is not so much trouble. Halfway through the debugging, Neil went to the cabin, separated the barge interface, and started to connect.

"Access, Mirage World."

next second.

The familiar light and shadow, in Neil's vision, pulled her into the other side like a space-time tunnel.

...

...

A crack was born out of thin air at the top of the building, and Neil stepped on the streamer, crossed the crack and entered the phantom light.

The scene in front of me was as peaceful as ever, and the bustling crowds were always operating according to their own rhythm.

"elder sister."

Before Neil had time to perform the "self-test" and check the upper limit of the operation of "Phantom Light" after "awakening", a familiar voice sounded by itself.

Neil was shocked, and turned his head to see an anthropomorphic character named "Lin Yi", with a white windbreaker, black hair, and a white umbrella in his hand, looking at him with a smile.

There was a fiery vibration from the depths of her chest. Neil held the position of the power furnace with both hands. She closed her eyes and savored this strange throbbing carefully.

Yi Lin laughed and said, "This is called...'The Joy of Reunion'."

Neil opened his eyes, and his calm eyes were full of joy: "l."

Yi Lin walked towards Neil, the oil umbrella stretched forward, and a faint shadow covered the two of them.

"Why do you hold an umbrella, l."

After Neil awakened, he always liked to ask "why".

Sometimes it's not that she doesn't understand, or doesn't understand.

Just like human babies, in the process of growing up, for a period of time, they will grab their parents and ask "why" every day. This is an important process for them to re-contact and understand the world.

--"think".

"Because it's going to rain soon."

As soon as Yi Lin's words fell, the drizzle fell, and the beautiful clear sky turned cloudy in an instant.

Neil stared at his younger brother with bright eyes.

She has an impulse.

I can't wait for my brother to take it apart and clean it on the spot.

"Walk."

Yi Lin patted Neil's shoulder lightly, and the light and shadow changed. When the two reappeared, they were already on the street.

This is city m, which is physically hundreds of kilometers away from city d.

"L, I want to know the truth."

"good."

So Yilin carefully explained her origin, the stories that happened in his main world, encountered Nemesis in the water world, and was destroyed by Nemesis. After a world was destroyed by Nemesis, Yilin secretly invaded here with the help of Green. Yi Lin told Neil about the whole process in detail.

"Oh, the rain has stopped."

Yi Lin spoke in one breath for half an hour, and Neil listened quietly the whole time.

It just so happened that when Yi Lin finished telling the ending of the story, that is, when he survived in the virtual world with the posture of this "virtual character" in "Starfire", it seemed that an invisible hand pushed away the dark clouds. Spread out, the sky clears, a sunny day.

simply put.

Yi Lin is an "outsider".

He came here with a fundamental purpose.

That is, the "god" who slaughtered this universe.

Neal's former boss.

...

Just like what Yi Lin said to Neo.

It was just speculation before.

But now, when the paradox of "District 11 in the real world is destroyed" and "District 11 in the virtual world is safe and sound" actually happened in front of Yi Lin, Yi Lin affirmed one thing.

Reality, virtuality, two worlds, no, or these two universes, are real universes that are interdependent and exist at the same time.

The virtual world may be illusory at first, but when the god "Nemesis" was born, the phantom world became "real".

Yi Lin has the experience of shuttling between "the only reality" and "time artifacts" in "Xi Paradise", and it didn't take much effort to think of this similar setting.

"Maybe the information is wrong."

Yi Lin lowered her head in thought.

"Maybe 'Nemesis' is indeed a god who was born after 'a group of crazy scholars uploaded their consciousness', but 'kk' once said that 'they' are 'Nemesis', and each of them is independent Conscious individuals cannot be called 'Nemesis'."

"Nemesis is a god born in the virtual world."

"So much so that its birth turned the virtual world into a real world."

"In this way, it can become a 'container' carrying its authority."

"I also fell into a misunderstanding before."

"Even in its real universe, wreak havoc and take away all its omnics, it can't really move its foundation."

"Because, its foundation is not in the real world at all, but in... the virtual world."

At the end of the analysis, Yi Lin smiled at Neil and said, "You really deserve to be a god."

"L, what shall we do next?"

Neil asked.

"It's very simple." Yi Lin raised an index finger: "Its world fleet is composed of 24 or more 'world ships'. The reason why it can destroy the 11th area in reality without hesitation is because It shows that it doesn't matter to him at all."

"It retains District 11 of the Mirage World, which means that there are two possibilities."

"First, the world of phantom light cannot be easily destroyed; second, there are important things hidden in the world of phantom light, and there are reasons why Nemesis cannot be determined to destroy them. For example..." Yi Lin raised an index finger: "The world's core."

"Of course, I prefer the second possibility."

Neil frowned, began to think, and asked: "Where is the core of the world?"

"When the sparks fell and my blood incarnation was completely wiped out, I sneaked in here and started looking for it." Yi Lin sighed softly: "In these years, I have never dared to underestimate Nemesis, after all, it can Easily wipe out a planet, a world ship, and a god of the universe."

"I have gone through hardships and finally arrived here, with...'this' attitude."

"However, I still underestimated its prudence. It has calculated thousands of times and hid the 'core of the world' very well..." Suddenly, while Yi Lin was explaining to Neil what the 'core of the world' was, The tone stopped abruptly, and the sentence he said inadvertently just now made him aware of the violation.

Yi Lin scratched her forehead and fell into deeper thoughts.

"yes,"

"why?"

"Since the virtual world is the 'main world' it really cares about, and the real universe is a 'watch world' that can be discarded at will, then its behavior is completely unreasonable."

"No no no,"

"Perhaps that's why it makes sense."

Yi Lin patted her scalp: "It's really you, Nemesis!"

"You actually hid the 'core of the world' in a place that normal people would never even think about!"

"Hahaha!"

Yi Lin covered her eyes with her right hand and laughed wantonly.

"L."

Neil touched Yi Lin's forehead.

Dotingly hugging his younger brother tightly, and sticking the two weapon compartments together, he comforted softly: "Don't cry."

"Bah, I'm happy, happy!"

Neil raised his hand high, obediently.

Although she still doesn't understand what the "core of the world" is and whether it can be eaten.

But looking at his younger brother's attitude, it seems that this is a very important thing.

So she volunteered to help her brother find it.

Right now, Yi Lin's "core data" is parasitic in the virtual world of Nemesis, so he naturally cannot return to the real world.

There's no other way to find that thing, really, Neil.

"I'll send you an encrypted file."

Yi Lin stretched out her finger, pointed at Neil's forehead, and transmitted the contents of the encrypted file to Neil.

After reading it, Neil didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly logged off.

After Neil goes offline from the original.

Yi Lin raised her head and looked at the icy sun.

"Then, let's see now, whether I am quicker or your reaction is quicker, Nemesis."

...

...

real world.

scorched earth.

District 11.

Neil suddenly sat up from the "illegal port", and the survivors who had been observing the changes in Neil's form were all taken aback.

"Two things."

Neil encrypted his brother's instructions and firmly memorized them in the memory unit.

Once she was offline, she directly made a request to the elder: "Neil requests, check the 'History of Humanity'."

The elder was stunned: "How do you know that we have preserved the 'history of mankind'?"

"My brother said that human beings are creatures that are used to carrying 'history' on their backs and moving forward with burdens."

"Brother?" Bella beamed with joy when she heard this: "You found 'l'? Wait..." Bella knew what this meant, and after the shock, an incredible expression appeared on her face: "Ni Er, you mean, even if District 11 is destroyed like this, the illusion world still exists? Your brother is now living in the virtual world?"

Neil nodded, but she didn't answer Bella's question with nonsense, she stubbornly stretched out her hand towards the elder, and almost threw the steel knife out.

"ask."

"read."

"Search."

"History of Mankind."

"My brother said that this is the key to finding the 'key'."

After the elder coughed violently in silence, he no longer doubted Neil's motives. Because, only human beings are interested in human history. It is impossible for Nemesis to covet the history of mankind.

Neil stood up, and after fully charging, she was able to move normally.

Charging turned out to be really fun, and it became addictive when plugged in.

With Bella's support, the elder, Neil, and Bella came to the elder's residence.

In the corner of the room, there was an old box full of dust. The elder calmly covered his mouth and nose, and slammed the surface of the box a few times. Suddenly, the room was filled with gray dust, which lingered for a long time.

It can be seen that this box has been there for many years, and no one cares about it.

"Your brother, l, the old man doesn't know that he is a human, or... an omnic. But he is right, a human is a creature that is used to carrying history on its back and carrying its burden. History is neither good nor bad Regardless of right or wrong, even though our ancestors regretted creating 'it', they still recorded this period of history in a tone full of apology."

"This is the 'historical text' that we have guarded for generations."

"It records the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors and the birth of 'Nemesis'."

"There are twenty-four volumes here..." the elder said slowly, and when he was about to introduce it in detail, Neil stepped forward in a hurry, said "sorry", and struck the dagger that was about to collapse. The old box was smashed to pieces.

The twenty-four volumes of history books are well preserved. Although the box is old, a layer of oily substance can be discerned with the naked eye on each page of the paper history books. It is obvious that the elders have spoken to them from time to time over the years. The "historical books" are preserved and maintained so that these "historical texts" can be passed on to the next generation after his death.

Neil sat on the ground and started flipping through the book.

She flipped through the book extremely fast, she didn't read it at all, but directly scanned and recorded it in the memory unit.

Her purpose is not to "understand" or "read". What she is doing now is to act as the eyes of her younger brother, to convert these histories into the form of "encrypted e-books" word by word, and download The first time she entered the Mirage World again, she would be able to pass this small document to her younger brother.

"My brother must be very happy."

"Your brother will praise Neil, right?"

"Brother, you don't want your sister to be unhappy, do you?"

While scanning the handwriting on it, Neil was thinking wildly, and said the process of "thinking" without embellishment, and the strange words echoed in the room.

...

aside.

Bella and the elder stood side by side.

They watched as an awakened omnic quickly scanned twenty-four "historical texts".

The elder smiled quietly.

The air in the room was too dirty, smiling, the elder couldn't help but started coughing again.

Bella hurriedly looked for filters and gas masks in the room, trying to put them on for the elders. But after searching for two minutes, Bella couldn't find her. The old man beside her was coughing more and more violently. She could only find out the towel that the elder usually used to cover his mouth and nose.

"Elder, let's go out."

Bella suggested.

As she spoke, she prepared to escort the elder out.

But the old elder didn't know where the strength came from, and Bella's thin arm just didn't move. She could only watch helplessly as the elder stubbornly sat down where he was, sucking the dust in the room and coughing desperately.

"Bella, did you know that?"

The elder looked at the human skeleton that was scanning the "historical text" quickly, and smiled: "The meaning of 'inheriting history' does not lie in who the inheritor is, but in history itself."

"I have always believed that the reason why 'history' can be preserved is that our ancestors let us properly preserve the 'historical text', which has a unique meaning."

"Perhaps, I am witnessing the end of 'history' with my own eyes."

"No..." The elder shook his head: "Perhaps it is when the 'history' itself, which our 'history guardians' have desperately guarded for generations, has reached its supposed 'end'."

After the elder finished speaking, he smiled and closed his eyes.

"Our mission is over."

"The mission of "historical texts" is also over! "
