The killing intent stagnated.
Lin An stared blankly at the hand holding his sword. The last words were like a direct hit to his soul, causing him to lose consciousness for a moment.
NPC!?
An indescribable chill rose from behind, and he seemed to realize something. Even the calmness brought about by super-effective thinking was broken at this moment.
"Captain Lin! Don't listen to the monster's nonsense!"
In the bear state, Zhang Tie roared over and tried to wake up Lin An.
He couldn't understand what this ghost woman was talking about, but it was precisely because he didn't think much about anything that he felt that the Corpse Emperor was guiding Lin An from the moment they entered, silently controlling the rhythm of the whole scene. When he thought about it,
This must be this monster talking nonsense and disturbing Captain Lin's mind!
The next second, just when Zhang Tie was about to punch out and kill the corpse king first, the woman opposite smiled, as if she was certain that Lin An would not take action.
"Shocked, right?"
"I think you've thought of some truth, right?"
"I said, you may not want to kill me after I finish speaking. In fact, I know far more than just now. You even don't know what happened to you."
After saying that, the woman let go of her hand and looked at her with determination.
After a few seconds, Lin An struggled and finally slowly lowered his arm.
"Zhang Tie!"
He let out a low roar, signaling Xiong Hanzi not to do anything.
Yes, he was persuaded.
Even when he faced the researcher zombie before, Lin An didn't make any move, completely assuming that the other party was talking nonsense. But this time, facing the zombie emperor who was also trying to "persuade" him, he found that he could no longer stick to his judgment.
He realized that the answer that this mysterious corpse king knew was exactly the answer to the riddle he was pursuing so hard.
"Why"
"Say I am"
"What on earth do you know?"
His voice was hoarse, and Lin An felt as if he was standing on the edge of an abyss, with the truth floating on the bottomless abyss.
If you take one step, you may be shattered into pieces.
Seeing Lin An's attitude, the Corpse Emperor couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction:
"Why do you say you are an NPC?"
"hehe"
Do you think the NPCs in the system copy are the NPCs? Or even the monsters created by the system? Do you think you are a doomsday gamer?
"No, you are wrong."
"In fact, in the eyes of all zombies and mutants, every survivor or player has your abilities, attributes, equipment, and deeds marked on their head."
"Just like the NPC manual, no one is a player."
Pointing to the top of Lin An's head, the Corpse Emperor looked jokingly:
"When you came in, all your information was exposed to my eyes."
"Lin An, you have the Eye of Judgment, right? In the past, I see you as you see the mutants. It's just that most mutants don't have the ability to understand these things, and they only rely on instinct to fight."
"To put it bluntly, there have never been players in doomsday games. You and I are just NPCs."
"Think about the tasks and guidance you have received. Isn't this what the system stipulates? It's like a rigid NPC who obeys all of this ignorantly."
Smiling to himself, the Corpse Emperor sat back on the sofa and started talking to himself:
"Have you entered the dungeon many times? In your eyes, they are ignorant. They don't know that they are data that repeats themselves in an infinite loop. They don't know the real world and have no free will at all."
"But, in their eyes, they are living people with their own lives, loved ones, and their own histories and stories."
"So if we think about it from another angle, why aren't we NPCs with a higher degree of freedom?"
Pointing her finger, the woman didn't care about Zhang Tie's angry look:
"For example, you, don't you think you are set as the main character, a high-level NPC in the human camp?"
"The silly bear next to you is like a partner or supporting NPC in a movie."
"And I am the elite in the zombie camp responsible for destroying mankind."
"Everything is predetermined, so how can there be any free will?"
After the words fell, Lin An clutched the hilt of the sword tightly.
In an instant, the predecessor of the Heartless Puppet, Li Lei, who felt that he was the protagonist, flashed in his mind.
Supporting roles, protagonists, everything is a predetermined plot?
He had thought about whether his rebirth would be a reset of the dungeon, but he never thought that he was a prescribed NPC.
No matter how reluctant he was to accept this fact, Lin An had to admit that what the Corpse Emperor said was highly likely.
Do you really have no free will?
From the beginning, he never thought about taking responsibility, let alone saving mankind. But it was like a pair of invisible hands pushing him until now.
So, my destiny is not, all my efforts are just a predetermined script!?
"You want to fight the system!?"
"You want to fight against the established destiny!? So you will say, I will give up killing you!? Because as long as you keep completing system tasks, you will never be able to escape control?"
When the conversation reached this point, Lin An took a deep breath and stared at the Corpse Emperor opposite.
Unexpectedly, the Corpse Emperor first shook his head and then nodded.
"You are very smart."
"That's pretty much what it means."
"As mutants, or every zombie and mutant, we have the same tasks as the awakened ones. We will even receive rewards after completing them."
"It's just that the tasks of most monsters are different from those of awakened ones, and they don't know how to complete them on their own initiative. They are all driven by instinct."
"For example, my mission is to kill all the humans in the Qingshan War Zone after being promoted to the fourth level, but I don't want to be controlled by it anymore."
"But you are wrong. I want you to give up killing me, not because I want you to violate the system, and not because I am afraid of death."
"Of course, you can't kill me either."
With a chuckle, the Corpse Emperor looked above Lin An's head, then at the toys on the ground, and said in a low voice:
"I want you to give up, purely because I don't want humanity to become extinct."
"Human beings are like the mother of zombies. Zombies will become extinct after humans die. And a world without humans would be too lonely."
Raising his head, the Corpse Emperor looked at Lin An seriously:
"Although I am a mutant in your eyes, I think zombies and mutants are just another form of awakened person."
"You kill mutants to become stronger, why don't mutants become stronger by eating people? In the end, is there any difference between you and me?"
"You should have seen that I have kept this place because I don't want to live in a world full of zombies."
"I love humans."
After saying this, Zhang Tie, who had been suppressing his anger, looked at the Corpse Emperor in astonishment.
A corpse emperor is actually telling herself that she doesn’t want to destroy humanity. She is talking to herself about great love and salvation!? Is this world crazy? In the past, there were zombie researchers who wanted to create new humans, but later there was a corpse emperor who compared humans to zombies.
Mother.
"Captain Lin, don't listen to her nonsense!! She must be lying to you!"
With his heart in confusion, Xiong Hanzi hurriedly reminded Lin An that he was afraid that Captain Lin would really be persuaded if the Corpse Emperor kept talking!
Ignoring Zhang Tie who tried to dissuade him, Lin An tried his best to remain calm and keenly captured the information from the Corpse Emperor's mouth.
"What does killing you have to do with the extinction of the human race?"
"I admit that what you said may be true, but I am a human being, so what if I kill you to comply with the system!?"
Humans and monsters are always in opposition, this is the law that Lin An believes in.
No matter what the truth is, the mission issued by the system is also a crisis he wants to solve! No matter how fanciful the Corpse Emperor's words are, he is not so pedantic as to get rid of the system. As long as he can end this doomsday, what's the deal?
As if he had expected that Lin An would think this way, the Corpse Emperor smiled with a gloomy expression:
"Lin An, I can see the second system in you, embedded in your information like garbled code."
"You seem to have forgotten one thing. The mission to kill me is not issued by the doomsday system, but by the savior."
After a moment of pause, the Corpse Emperor let out a long sigh:
"Have you ever thought about who the savior system is saving?"
"Did it tell you that it wanted to save humanity?"
