Chapter 537 The Beginning and End of the Terminal
"Actually, I lied to you at that time. Those people are not from countless races. They all have a common identity, and that is - you!"
"Or, it's you with a different identity."
Xu fell into the deepest state of memory and murmured like a babble: "We originally came from the earth, and because of an accident, we traveled to another universe."
"The technology there is very developed, countless times more developed than the earth!"
"We live very unsteadily there, because our consciousness can't keep up with the social state, and we live in fear every day."
"Until one day, one of the scientific schools suddenly went crazy and detonated an interstellar-level weapon, an emotional oscillator."
"Do you know what that thing is equivalent to?"
"In a way that you can understand, it is equivalent to the power of hundreds of billions of nuclear bombs bombarding the earth indiscriminately at the same time, enough to make that civilization completely disappear."
"However, even in this case, there was a subset of survivors who hid in the matrix."
"Oh, the matrix is equivalent to Noah's Ark on Earth. It was originally intended to be used for civilization in a crisis of extinction and to retain some of the fire."
"Our luck is quite good. We were selected to become the fire and sent into the matrix for protection."
"The matrix was sent to the starry sky for wandering. We thought that everything would develop in a good direction, looking for a new colony suitable for survival, and one day we could revive civilization."
"But...we ignore...no, we should say we underestimate the power of sentiment oscillators."
"After the shock to death made most people mad, their spirits were fused together under the action of the oscillator, forming a spiritual storm that swept the entire universe."
"Wherever this spiritual storm goes, all life will be killed, and their spiritual power will be absorbed by the storm and used for their own use."
"Sometimes, for some reason, the mental storm will infect some creatures, turning them into extremely twisted monsters."
"This monster is called a twisted creature."
"Unlike the mental storm, twisted creatures can be killed, and there is a crystal hidden somewhere in their corpses, and the crystal contains extremely strong spiritual power."
"And this kind of spiritual power can be absorbed to enhance the absorber's own spiritual power."
"We were pleasantly surprised to find that strong mental power can fight against mental storms, and sometimes even wipe out a few points."
"But...Unfortunately, the strength of spiritual power is extremely limited. No matter which race you are, the upper limit is fixed, and it can no longer be enhanced after a certain point."
"It doesn't matter how many crystals are absorbed."
"Later, we started researching ways to increase the upper limit of mental strength."
"Many years have passed without progress at all."
"In order to continue to study the method of fighting against the mental storm, some people have transferred their consciousness to the machine and continued to survive in the form of a mechanical body."
"Later, another group of people thought they couldn't sit still and decided to accept more races into the matrix."
"Perhaps brainstorming can come up with a way to fight the mental storm."
"However, I didn't expect that these races were fighting each other. We had no choice but to divide an area and set up countless small rooms in it to let them go in and take the test step by step."
"Only those with good conduct can pass that area and enter the outer city first."
"Those with bad conduct will delay the time to enter the outer city, or if there are bloody people who kill their entire family, they will be thrown into the wilderness and let them fend for themselves."
"Over time, the rules in the matrix have been perfected step by step, and they have really played a role in basic trials."
Having said this, he smiled humbly: "This is also due to the fact that we were game lovers before crossing, and provided a lot of useful ideas when establishing rules for the matrix, but as a result, the matrix became more and more like a survival game."
"Afterwards...a lot of things happened, but I can't remember them anymore."
"Until that day, we had a dispute. He advocated using the matrix to select the most powerful warriors, encouraging new races to kill each other, and the last most powerful group would be sent to the first to fight against mental storms and twisted creatures. battlefield."
"But I don't agree, my view is to maintain the status quo at that time, step by step, and one day we will be able to find a way to fight the mental storm."
"We couldn't argue, so he raised a knife, split me, kicked me out of my body, and banished me to this place of nothingness."
Hearing this, Li Zheng was shocked.
It turned out that he falsely claimed that he and the terminal were one with two sides, but he did not tell the whole truth at that time, but lied that he was a life born in the dark world.
"Remember the first lamp bearer?"
Xu sensed Li Zheng's shock and smiled carelessly: "Actually, he is also you and me, but it was the first Matrix Survival after I split with him, I don't know if he misses me and didn't put the first A clone made exactly like him, but like me."
"I got along very well with the lamp holder. He didn't understand everything, didn't know, and thought it was a survival game. He even made a prop that can introduce people into the dark world."
"Thinking about it now, he's really naive and a little ridiculous." Xu couldn't help shaking his head: "If he wasn't so naive, he wouldn't have to die later..."
died?
Li Zheng was stunned and reacted. At that time, the matrix trial must be carried out according to the instructions of the terminal, killing each other and going back and forth, which was very chaotic.
And a person with a kind-hearted nature will definitely not live long in this kind of environment, and it will be a matter of time to bring about his own demise.
It was like Li Chun, who had no defense against others, was almost assassinated by Lin Feng.
"Since then, you have appeared in almost every session. He should have changed his routine because of the ending of the lamp holder in the first session, and invested in the ultimate evil in the subsequent trials. He is very hard-hearted. , The killing is decisive, and the whole body is covered with rich blood."
"I didn't like them very much, so I simply hid, avoided seeing them, and researched the method to fight the mental storm by myself."
"Huang Tian pays off, after long years of research, I finally found it!"
Xu raised his head and looked at the splendid brilliance of the sky, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.
"I succeeded!"
"To fight against the spiritual storm, only spiritual power can do it! And the changes brought about by the condensed nodes to the spiritual power are our ultimate weapon against the spiritual storm!"
"I……"
Xu's face froze, because he was able to find this way, thanks to the terminal splitting him out and kicking him to this place.
Otherwise, he will stay in the body all the time, and with restrictions, he will never be able to discover this method.
"sometimes……"
"I really can't tell who is right and who is wrong between us..."
