Chapter 395 Game Rules (Please subscribe~)

Seeing that Grayman was about to self-destruct, a countdown appeared on the screen. Gu Chi, remembering that he still had business to do, rushed forward immediately.

"Snapped!"

Slap the host hard.

It's like photographing an old-time snowflake TV.

The black box that stores Grayman's memories and thoughts is of course not a TV, and the programs in it are heavily encrypted. Even the top hackers in the real world cannot crack it. If he wants to self-destruct, no one can stop him.

But it just so happened that Gu Chi had a completely unreasonable speaking spirit.

Before, Gu Chi really had nothing to do with Grayman. After all, the "genetic coding" of digital life was beyond his knowledge and understanding. But now he has Taoism and Nature, and he has an additional 2000 points of equivalent Taoism. , insisting on cross-border law enforcement, using this slap full of Taoist charm, Shengsheng stopped the countdown.

The screen freezes as a "3".

Gu Chi shouted: "Come out!"

Huang Si: "..."

Eye:"……"

Grayman: "???"

Previously, the "Eye" manipulated time through mysterious power, allowing him to see miraculous sights that were completely unexplainable by science. Now, his old friend used some unknown means to forcibly suspend his self-destruction program.

His faith has been broken once, and Gu Chi's goal has been achieved.

As long as he is gone and the war loses control, it will naturally cease.

But he never expected that Gu Chi would not even let him self-destruct...

What does this guy want to do? ?

Grayman's angry face appeared on the screen again.

"You have already won, and you are not even willing to give me a decent death!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Seeing Grayman reappearing, Gu Chi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old friend, let's make a real deal."

Grayman refused: "You have nothing to give me."

In other words, he no longer has what he wants.

If a person who has lost his faith has no meaning in living, what kind of deal can he do?

He has seen clearly the essence of "past" and "future".

For NPCs like them, this is an inescapable and never-ending time loop, from which only death can escape.

"No, death can't free you." Gu Chi said, "Think about it for yourself. The real world will usher in its doomsday in 4402. After the doomsday, the horizon will be born from ruins and brokenness like what we just saw. Hundreds of years later, will Dr. M still be able to rebuild civilization? Will you still be born, use a football to smash the teacher's utensils, found Qingguang Enterprise, and become the Grayman you are now?"

These words directly made Grayman's blood pressure spike.

He thought that the most painful thing in the world was to lose faith and lose all hope, but Gu Chi told him that there was something more terrifying than losing faith, that is, even death cannot escape the cycle of past and future.

"That's enough!" Grayman's eyes turned red, "You devil!"

"I just want to be destroyed quietly, why should I be deprived of even my last hope!"

"Hey, hey, don't get excited."

Gu Chi said hurriedly: "I am not depriving you of hope, I am giving you a hope."

Grayman: "Fart!"

Because of Gu Chi's words, he now doesn't even know whether he is right or wrong to self-destruct. What the hell is this hope?

"We can change the future!" Gu Chi said, "Think about it, Horizon's past is the real world, so as long as we change the ending of the real world and prevent the doomsday from coming, wouldn't Horizon be gone?"

"Without the horizon, you will no longer exist in the future, so you can step out of the prison of time and completely free yourself from the cycle."

"So what you have to do is actually very simple, that is, help me."

Gu Chi said seriously: "Give me the synthesis method of Kα series alloys, as well as other technologies you have mastered. The more you give me, the stronger we will be and the more confident we will be in dealing with the doomsday in the future."

"I promise you, as long as you are willing to help, in return, I will do my best to let you die in peace and never be resurrected again."

Grayman: "?"

Huang Si: "..."

Eye:"……"

This is actually true. At this time, Grayman really does not want to live in the cycle and suffer.

But why does it sound so weird?

You take other people's things and try to end their lives?

"After talking for a long time, you just want my technology." Grayman saw through his old friend.

This is a man who can lift someone up from the coffin board in order to get their treasure!

Gu Chi: "Just tell me whether this logic is correct or not."

The past changes the future, and this applies everywhere.

The so-called future changes the past is actually a false proposition caused by incomplete information and differences in perspective.

From the perspective of the real world, Grayman is a person from the future. If he helps them survive the end of the world, it can indeed be said that the future will change the past.

But the person who did this was Grayman. The correct way of thinking should be to look at it from Grayman's perspective. In essence, the past is still changing the future.

Seeing that Grayman was still looking at him with hatred, Gu Chi pretended to be dissatisfied: "It's not what I said, old friend, I am already a good friend to you. Even though we are opposite to you and are enemies of each other, I still think about you in every aspect. , I’m afraid that the coffin board will be lifted after your death, but what about you?”

"You still look at me like this."

"It makes me sad."

Grayman: "?"

You're so sad, I think you're about to laugh!

Grayman didn't know what evil he had done in his previous life to end up with such an old friend.

He didn't want to make any deal with Gu Chi at all.

This is the instinct of a corporate director.

He had dealt with Gu Chi so many times, but none of them were profitable. Last time, he was tricked by Gu Chi into taking 50,000 Doomsday Dolls.

If it hadn't been for this mess, this war would not have been so sluggish. The "Scavenger" missiles in the West Sixth District plus these tens of thousands of humanoid weapons were enough to complete the entire West Second District within three days. crushing them and spreading the war to the North District.

Unfortunately there is no if.

No matter how reluctant Grayman was to believe Gu Chi, he had to admit that Gu Chi's statement was right.

At least he couldn't find the problem.

The more this happened, the more pathetic Grayman felt, and the more disappointed he became with the world.

When you are alive, you need to work hard. Now that he wants to destroy himself, he still needs to work hard, otherwise he will not feel at ease even if he dies.

What else could he do?

Grayman closed his eyes again.

He was really tired.

So be it.

Just leave some traces of their existence in this world for yourself, Qingguang Enterprise, and those who worked tirelessly with him in the laboratory.

"I will package all the files and put them in a black box."

"I only have one condition."

"Let Dr. M turn it on."

If Dr. M is really his ancestor, then consider this a gift from the future.

"Okay." Gu Chi agreed, "Don't worry, I will hand the black box intact to Dr. M."

He paused and then said, "If you have anything you want to say, I can convey it to you."

"No, I'm not familiar with him." Grayman laughed at himself, "This is just the last pretense of a dying man."

As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Chi with complicated eyes: "I hope you can do what you say."

He doesn't want to come to this world again.

If it must come, hope is no longer on the horizon.

"Goodbye, old friend."

"Never again."

This time, Grayman left no room to chance.

The three-second countdown instantly resets to zero.

The screen was once again replaced by a mess of numbers and codes. They added, subtracted, merged with each other, canceled each other out, and finally turned into a pitch-black blank, completely dimmed.

When he decided to self-destruct before, Grayman also sent a message to the players he controlled, asking them to go to the horizon and tell his body everything about the real world.

If someone could go to the horizon of all timelines at the same time, they would see countless rooms with lights always on on the top floors of Qingguang Enterprises, and their lights are going out one by one.

From now on, Qingguang Enterprise may still be around, but there will no longer be Grayman.

For a long time, Gu Chi looked at the darkened screen and sighed softly.

As Grayman said, he really wanted Qingguang Enterprise's technology, but there was also a real desire to help Grayman free himself.

Humans are all emotional beings anyway, and it’s not surprising to have any thoughts when they are emotional. What’s more, in many cases, there is no need to distinguish between true and false. Maybe Grayman is right and they are wrong?

In short, Greyman self-destructed and the war was finally over.

The synthesis method of the more advanced Kα alloy has also been obtained. There should be many unexpected gains in the black box. The two missions to find Grayman in the West Sixth District have been successfully completed. The rest is to talk to "Eye" It's the end of the world.

Don't look at Gu Chi who has been saying that "games are the future of reality", but in fact he doesn't fully believe it.

The reason is simple, there is no tangible evidence.

After all, Grayman was not a player, so he ignored another possibility.

What if the "eye" showed them the future, and Dr. M only appeared on the horizon after entering the dungeon as a player?

It's not that Gu Chi is overly aggressive, the main reason is that the nature of this matter is too serious. The end of the world is no joke. The entire planet has been blown up. It's never wrong to think more about it.

He looked at the man in black robe beside him and said thank you first: "Thank you."

Without the "Eye", he would not have been able to convince Grayman so quickly.

But "Eye"'s gaze still stayed on the screen, a little floating, and he murmured softly: "Why am I not dead yet?"

Gu Chi: "..."

Huang Xiu's eyes became wary again, and she protected Gu Chi behind her.

Gu Chi originally wanted to say that there was no need to be so nervous. Avreya said that "eyes" often say things and have no special meaning.

But obviously Huang Xiu had her own understanding and sent a message to him: "Husband, be careful, he may blow himself up."

Gu Chi: "..."

In fact, Huang Xiu didn't feel any malice from "Eye", but this man who suddenly appeared was too powerful and his position was unclear, so she had to be cautious.

The three of them faced each other in vain for a long time.

Qingguang Enterprise is very quiet without Grayman.

After almost ten minutes, "Yan" seemed to realize that Gu Chi thanked him and shook his head gently: "No need to thank me, I'm not helping you, I'm just doing what I want to do."

As he spoke, the fog on his face under the hood gradually dissipated and became clear.

From the time the "eye" appeared until now, Gu Chi and Huang Xi finally saw his appearance clearly.

Much younger than expected.

But much older.

"Eye"'s face is that of a young man. He looks to be thirty years old at most, but his hair is gray. The skin on his face is very clean and tidy, but his hands are covered with old wrinkles, a few more than before. .

Those pitch-black eyes seemed to be able to swallow up the black holes of time and space, too deep to be touched.

"Eye" has its own logic for doing things. Gu Chi didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss Avreya to be so efficient. I asked her to help with the message yesterday, and today you came to see me."

"Eye" continued to shake his head: "Her words haven't arrived yet."

Gu Chi: "Huh?"

"We have met before, you should know my ability." Eye said.

He doesn't have to look for anyone he wants to see; he can't find anyone he doesn't want to see.

Gu Chi didn't need to say thank you to him. On the contrary, Gu Chi had saved him in a certain timeline. He should say thank you to Gu Chi.

But Yan felt that Gu Chi might be like him and didn't need to thank him, so he chose to come over at this time and meet Gu Chi as a reward for Gu Chi saving him.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm sorry, but there are some things I won't tell you."

Eyes raised his hands slightly: "As you can see, everything in this world has a price. I control time, and time also controls me."

Sound like time bites you back?

Gu Chi thought for a moment: "Then I'll ask the simple question?"

He smiled and said, "You are quite strange. You obviously don't believe me, but you still want to ask me."

Gu Chi turned around and said, "It's not that I don't believe in you, it's just that I don't believe in fate."

Eye nodded: "I don't believe in fate either."

He could guess what Gu Chi wanted to ask.

For example, is the time jump in the real world because of him?

Another example is that he can obviously control time, so why didn't he just reverse the scene to the end of the world to see what happened?

He wanted to do the same.

But he couldn't do it.

"Whenever I try to see the truth of the doomsday, my ability will temporarily disappear." Eye said softly, "There is something more powerful stopping me and warning me not to touch things I shouldn't touch."

Even if he could control time and seemed to be nearly invincible and immortal in the eyes of ordinary people, he still had no power to resist when faced with that unknown existence.

He didn't tell Grayman any of this, otherwise Grayman would be even more desperate.

If the end is caused by it, it is equivalent to irreversibility.

Gu Chi's first reaction was Pure Land Game: "Xiao Poyou?"

Although he has been picking up Xiao Poyou's wool, he knows very well that the Pure Land game itself is the most powerful thing.

Whether it's the player's ability or the NPCs who come to reality, including "Eye" and Huang Xi, they are all part of the game in the final analysis.

Originating from games, it will naturally be limited by games.

"Maybe." Yan said, "But this is not entirely a bad thing. At least from my point of view, its rules are not very strict."

Pure Land Games didn't want him to see the doomsday before his eyes, but he still knew the fact through other means and was not punished.

This proves that rules can be circumvented.

In other words, the rules of the Pure Land game allow them to bypass the rules.

This can also explain why many players take advantage of loopholes in the rules to make money, but Pure Land Games never collect rewards.

There is a very contradictory point here.

Since it is allowed to get around the rules, why go to the trouble of making rules?

"Do you still remember the last update announcement?" Yan asked.

He is not a player, but he can rely on players to get the information he wants.

"Remember, I jumped through several versions." Gu Chi said.

"Just jump." Yan said, "It means something is beyond its expectation."

Versions that were supposed to be updated one after another had to be skipped because of this incident and go directly to the important content.

The rules that players should strictly abide by are therefore relaxed, otherwise the original purpose of the Pure Land game will not be achieved.

As a game, what is its original design intention?

No matter how difficult it is, how complicated it is, or how many deeper reasons there are, the designer should hope that some players can pass it.

Combined with the "emergency incident" mentioned just now, we can draw a conclusion-when this incident occurs, if we continue to update according to the original rhythm and constrain players according to the original rules, then the final copy will There is no possibility of clearance.

In other words, the apocalypse will be unstoppable.

Not only Grayman, but no one can escape the determined future.

This is "eye"'s understanding of the game.

It sounds logical, but there is one thing -

"You said these are all based on the realization of the doomsday." Gu Chi said, "Since you can't see the doomsday, how do you know that the doomsday will definitely come? How can you be sure that the real world is the past and the game world is the future?"

This goes back to the original question.

The future shown in the eyes can convince Grayman, but not Gu Chi.

Eyes smiled: "Do you think I was also released from the dungeon by a certain player?"

Gu Chi: "Isn't it?"

"No." Yan said, "I came here on my own."

"One day I reversed time in Morning Embrace and wanted to go back to a long, long time ago."

"Then I came into the real world."

Gu Chi: "?"
