Pandora's story ends here, but I know that the story is far from that simple.
The stand-in puppets created by the "Immortal" project are mindless bodies, and before their mother body dies, these bodies will be in an eternal dormant state. The Viska I met has not only awakened, but also has himself
His sanity - even though that sanity was already very crazy - shows what happened after the termination of this plan, which led to the appearance of Viska.
Pandora did not let my doubts last too long. She sorted out the memories that were quite old and difficult to mobilize, and then told me the regrettable second half of the story.
"Fifty years after the plan was forced to abort, the colonial galaxy where I was stationed suffered the largest abyss erosion in history. Hundreds of stars became extremely dangerous critical stars due to the disturbance of the abyss power. Thousands of
Tens of thousands of large and small planets are rampaging in the sky, and the power of the abyss has even invaded the colony's mother planet, making the originally stable planet become manic and on the verge of collapse. Tens of millions of Xiling apostles participated in the battle against the planet's rampage.
We destroyed dozens of stars that were completely out of control, but an accident occurred while destroying a giant critical star. Due to the violent interference formed by the critical star, we fell into the trap of the abyss, and all the troops I led were sacrificed.
In the intersecting energy field between the entrance of the abyss and the black hole of the universe, I was the only one who survived by chance..."
I have been completely shocked by the grand war described by Pandora. What a scale of battlefield this is! It is actually a battle with a violent planet!
I stared at the cute little Pandora like a doll in my arms with incredible eyes. It was unbelievable that this little girl had led such a terrifying galaxy destruction war. Compared with the planet-level battles in the heyday of the empire, the world of Azeroth is now facing
The crisis is really as trivial as an infantryman's gun jamming on the battlefield. No wonder Shandora and the others have never shown any concern about the battle situation. In the eyes of those big shots who have already witnessed the ultimate war, this little thing is
Small regional riots are really nothing to worry about…
But there is still one thing to note. Although the crisis in the world of Azeroth is not a big deal in the eyes of Sandora and Pandora, the military strength we have now is incomparable to that in the heyday of the empire...
Pandora's narration is still going on. The story-telling ability of this little iceberg is really unflattering. The completely boiled-water running account description definitely has unprecedented hypnotic magic. However, due to the shocking content of the story, I was still deeply fascinated.
Attracted to the past: "...In that ambush battle, we lost most of the high-level Xiling generals, but fortunately, due to the soul preservation technology, most of the generals got a chance to be reborn, but I
But something unexpected happened here - I was seriously injured at that time, and even lost the mental connection with the base for a time. In this case, the 'Immortal' system was activated."
"According to the system settings, when the mother body dies, a random stand-in puppet will be activated at the same time, and then my soul data will be transmitted to this stand-in puppet by the time-space transmission device, but I was still alive at the time, so I was activated
The stand-in puppet still remained in a static state, so the system made an error judgment, thinking that the first activation was unsuccessful, and activated the second body... In this way, in a short period of time, all my spare bodies were
is activated, and chaos is also occurring at the same time, because there was such a setting at the beginning of the design of the 'Immortal' system: at the same time, only one Pandora can remain active. This was originally to prevent several backup bodies.
Awakening at the same time, my soul could not be accurately placed. However, because my soul was not uploaded at all, serious system errors occurred in all the clones. They actually started to actively implement the original setting: within the same time period, only
Can there be a Pandora..."
"Thousands of clones started fighting crazily. They were unconscious, but the program allowed them to identify the sisters around them as bugs that broke the rules of the system. What they had to do was to eliminate every one with the Pandora logo in front of them.
copies until there was only the last person left. When I woke up in the base and sensed the chaos among my own clones, everything was already too late. The Death Star that was used as a testing ground was already in the clones.
They were torn apart during their battle, with fragments of debris floating everywhere in the universe, and none of the clones that were used as backup bodies was left..."
"Now it seems that there is only one left..."
I tried my best to suppress my confused thoughts, then shook my head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
This is a very depressing story. I never thought that Pandora would experience such a thing. Although those clones are all unconscious puppets, there are thousands of clones that can be called their "sisters"
Just killing everyone under a program error is really not something that most people can accept, especially now that they know that a clone has developed his own personality and escaped, the psychological impact this has brought to him
The impact cannot be concealed by Pandora's apparent calmness.
"Brother, the Pandora clone you mentioned should have developed its own intelligence in the process of fighting." Pandora lowered her head and spoke out her analysis calmly, "It has an innate body that is better than ordinary apostles.
, it is more likely to produce self-awareness in the future. For us Xiling apostles, the most suitable conditions for evolution are naturally battles. The possibility of tens of thousands of high-level puppets producing ** personalities in fierce cannibalism is
Very high, Huesca’s awakening should have happened during that battle.”
It turns out that this is the case. Since Pandora analyzed it this way, then the truth of the matter must not be much different, because no one can understand his backup body better than Pandora. In this way, Huesca's madness also has a certain explanation.
The self-awareness that arises from cruel cannibalism cannot be normal. I can hardly imagine that a newborn girl would find herself standing when she opened her eyes in ignorance.
In the Shura field where corpses litter the field, but her hands are stained with the blood of countless "sisters" who look exactly like her, what kind of impact will she receive? Viska may have gone crazy at that time
, when she escaped from the dying Death Star test site and wandered around the universe for millions of years, this madness only became more serious, and now I can also confirm that Viska has been captured during her wandering.
Eroded by the power of the abyss, this also made her mind even more confused. From the messy words she spoke, I can also infer that the system setting of "only one Pandora is allowed to exist" did not come from her thinking.
Disappearance has completely turned into a fatal endless loop. This is why Viska, who already has self-awareness, still thinks that she is just a backup copy, and her only mission is to destroy Pandora.
But there is still a question in my mind, which is more confusing than any mystery.
"Why does Hueska think of me as his brother?"
This is what I'm curious about, and it seems that it's not just me, Viska also calls Qianqian "sister". I even guess that, except for Pandora, Viska regards all of us as his "original" family.
It was also under this thought that she came up with the idea of "taking back" everything that belonged to her from Pandora.
"Because she can share my memories to a certain extent."
Pandora raised her little face, her eyes filled with guilt.
"I thought all the copies had disappeared, so I never scanned my mind upload port, but Viska actually scanned my memory through this port without my knowledge..."
So that’s it!
In an instant, many things that troubled us became clear. The leakage of our whereabouts was finally explained. It became easy to understand that Pandora and Shandora who were in the dragon retreat at that time were attacked. All the secrets
, Viska stole it through the springboard of Pandora.
"it's not your fault."
Seeing Pandora's self-reproaching expression, I gave a gentle smile, and then rubbed the little guy's head twice: "You were just used, and you also helped me find a channel for information leakage, didn't you? At least now
We can avoid similar situations from happening again - by the way, you have closed that upload port, right?"
Pandora nodded and said, "I turned it off just now, and I checked the data records of that port. Since my brother met that Viska, there has been no data leakage."
"That's good, but even if Huesca can share your memories, she won't regard me as her brother, right? She has gone crazy... Well, maybe going crazy is a good explanation..."
Having said that, I actually have a possible explanation in my mind, that is, although Viska is crazy, there may still be a pure land deep in her heart.
I can't put myself in Visca's shoes and imagine what I would be like after going through an experience like Visca's, but I know that as a sad girl whose meaning in life is to be the soul container of others, Visca must be very lonely and confused deep in her heart.
, she doesn’t know what she is living for, nor does she know who she should entrust her future to. She takes the elimination of Pandora as her mission not only because of the locking of the program, but also probably has a self-hypnosis meaning in it -
- Destroying Pandora, that is her meaning, that is the best way to prove her own existence. Only by destroying Pandora can she have her true self - this is Viska's method of hypnotizing herself.
Having read many novels and movies, I am very familiar with this kind of example.
But now, Viska suddenly shared Pandora's memory, and everything changed. She began to be jealous of Pandora's happiness, but more importantly, she longed for a happy life like Pandora - for her, what Pandora meant was
What she experienced was happiness far beyond her imagination.
So, under the influence of chaotic thinking, she regarded us as her relatives, and regarded Pandora as the culprit who took away everything from her...
