third chapter

My name is Patient Zero,

I caught a system.

————

Normally, what happens if an NPC dies?

According to the general settings, it should be temporarily removed from the game, and brought out to show off when it is restarted or where memory killing is needed. There may be a graveyard card library or an exclusion card library.

But what if this npc becomes self-aware?

According to my idea when I didn't know that I was an NPC, I would erase that consciousness and reset it to zero for next time use. If the NPC was more beautiful and had some emotional entanglements with the protagonist, in the end, I would be helpless in some way.

To avoid death, the protagonist will cry out in grief.

Well, this kind of plot should be able to make a lot of tears in film and television animations.

But that doesn't explain why I ended up in a recycle bin.

————

This is a round, transparent, huge barrel-shaped container with a blue recyclable mark on the outer wall. Even if I stand up and straighten my arms, it is only one-tenth of the height from the bottom of the barrel to the mouth. I have tried to hit it.

The wall of the barrel has achieved nothing except pain in my shoulders, which indirectly proves that I am still alive.

Looking out from the transparent outer wall, there is only darkness in the field of vision. The reason why I can see things is because the trash can itself emits a faint white light. Even so, there is nothing else to see except myself.

The body I am currently using is still that of "Patient Zero". I am wearing a special aqua blue hospital gown without a mirror, but I feel much healthier than I thought.

Speaking of which, at that time, because "pax-2oo" evolved into "paralysis", I had to sit in a wheelchair all day long and was extremely thin. Now I can not only walk, but also run. Not only can I run, but I can also grow taller.

Jump, hey, big jump~

What am I doing...

Considering that this trash can-like place might be the recycle bin on the computer, I walked to its edge to prevent being hit by something dropped. A moment later, the garbage falling from the sky verified my foresight.

Crash--

A pile of indescribable things, as large as a hill, poured down, almost filling the other side of the trash can. If I had to describe it, it was a messy combination of numbers, letters and square characters, and the material looked like

Like foam plastic.

Those garbled characters are almost unreadable. In contrast, the combination of certain letters together is much more eye-catching, such as [d11] [exe] [ini] [txt].

I identified it for a while and roughly guessed what it was. This was probably a game I had before. I was angrily deleted by "players" because I couldn't pass the level. I deserved it, hahaha!

Laugh three times.

Huh? What is that?

Among the pile of garbled characters, I suddenly saw something out of place, a cube with a faint red light.

Now that I'm here, it's not impossible that the unknown virus I was infected with before will follow me. Seeing that the garbled characters are no longer falling in the air, I walked to the foot of the garbled mountain and pulled out the cube.

It's not too big or heavy, and it fits me perfectly when I hold it in both hands. It feels like jelly to the touch. It's a light red color overall, and there are dark red biohazard warning signs on all six sides.

Although the transparency is very low, you can vaguely see what is inside this big dice.

Shake it vigorously.

[Hehehe] A voice that seemed to be that of a young boy sounded: [Can you destroy the whole world?]

Very good, this is not a virus, it is the system.

My feeling now is very subtle. After all, I was still an NPC under the jurisdiction of the system before. Now I can hold it in my hand. Maybe it feels similar to the feeling of a human holding the earth in his hand?

"System?" I asked.

If he says a few soft words, I might consider letting him go.

[Tip: Please select the game mode] A mechanically familiar female voice said.

Thrown in anger!

I've wanted to do this for a long time.

Let you destroy my outlook on life.

[Wow!] The little boy screamed.

For the protagonists who have been tricked by the system, the Lord God, the will of the universe and the like in various online articles, I am here to avenge you!

Pick it up and drop it again.

[Wait, wait, wait!] He finally realized something was wrong: [Who are you?]

Finally found out that I am not a player anymore?

I picked up the red dice and looked at it carefully, but I couldn't see where the front was, so I said casually to one side.

"First tell me who you are."

[I, I am the system, you can call me Gaia]

Oh, that guy who doesn’t care what happens to humans as long as the earth can survive? It fits the game setting.

"Hello Gaia, I am patient zero, you can call me Alaya." I said to the red cube that calls itself planet consciousness,

I threw it to the ground hard, then put on my feet. If anything, I don't know how many people I saved by asking for help from the CDC, but I should have no problem calling myself an Alaya.

[Woooooooooo...] The system is crying.

The weird crying sounds made by the electronic music are simply annoying, so I hate naughty children the most. They keep making trouble for you and can’t beat or scold them. If they cry, it’s all your fault.

Just like when my brother was a child - I don't know if this memory is true or not.

I didn't intend to comfort this naughty child and let him cry for a while. I picked up the system and went back to the corner to sit down. Staring at the crying cube, I began to think about the current situation.

Now that "pax-2oo" has been eliminated and this game has been deleted, that world should continue to develop. Everyone will have their own names and create memories that are their own and not given to them. Dad, mom, younger brother, canteen.

The uncle, the handsome doctor at the clinic...

They will definitely work hard to protect a world where people are more united despite encountering terrible infectious diseases.

That world where only I am not present.

————

"Boom!"

A loud noise interrupted my thinking. I looked up and saw that the newly fallen cube was much larger than the system.

The whole thing looks like three books stacked and tied together.

Well, compressed file, hey, fellow players, if you delete the main body in a fit of anger, you will have to download it again?

After a few laughs, I finally figured out what the game I was in was called.

"Doomsday Inc." is clearly written on the cover of the book, which is very vulgar. In this case, the next step is to empty the recycle bin.

[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Wow, there were actually tears. I wiped the two teardrops on the top of his head with my sleeve in disgust.

[Yes, I'm sorry...that's a program setting...] He choked with sobs.

Humph, he is not the principal culprit but also an accomplice.

"It doesn't matter, we will be deleted together soon anyway." I looked up at the mouth of the "trash can", and there appeared a silver light curtain that was as transparent as crystal and was slowly descending.

The previous garbled mountain was a bit sharp, and the "top" part disappeared silently when it touched the light curtain. Assuming that the speed of its descent remained unchanged, it would have reached the bottom within a few minutes.

[Alaya?] The system called me weakly.

"Huh?" I answered casually, "Alaya, just Alaya. I don't like the name Patient Zero very much, so there's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

【I don’t want to be deleted, can you help me?】

"Could it be that the worlds you destroyed want to be doomed?"

【Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I'm sorry...】

"If an apology is useful, what should anti-virus software do?"

[Those worlds were created just to be destroyed...]

I don't want to talk to him anymore.

The light curtain has wiped out half of Chaos Mountain. Although there is no sound, I still made up the sound effects for it, creak, creak - this flat-topped mountain is really spectacular. I wonder if there are Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King.

[Alaya... Alaya...] The red cube where the system resides was crying and shaking constantly.

Looking at this guy, I was inexplicably reminded of my stupid younger brother at home. When he was a kid, he accidentally got into trouble and would run home and look at me like a wounded animal. In the end, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he ended up having to help with the aftermath.

Speaking of which, he hasn't done that for a long time. Although I'm not sure whether those memories are real, but forget it...

"Tell me how I can help you."

[The game itself has been deleted!] The little boy's voice sounded very excited, and he quickly said: [So you cannot create a template world and go there. In this case, when you start the game, the repair system will automatically start to create a minimal new world!



"Then destroy it? If you don't start, don't start." Who knows whether that new world will produce self-aware NPCs like me. If so, it would be better to just disappear.

[No, no, it's not like that, Alaya, this kind of world is not a 'template world' waiting for us to destroy it, but a temporary world that will soon destroy itself because it is separated from the main world.] The system said: [And we have to do it

The thing is exactly the opposite of the 'player', which is to save the world and collect 'doomsday elements', just like the 'pax-2oo' that once infected you]

"What's the use of something that doesn't sound very good?"

[The repair system can be used to repair the game itself. As the number increases, I can gradually restore the original functions] He paused: [If we don’t put in doomsday elements, these temporary worlds will not be destroyed. If you think about it,

You can choose to live there.】

"Last question, is my original world still there?" I looked up at the light curtain that continued to descend.

[They are still there, they are still in the cache,] As if afraid of the getting closer and closer to the ceiling, the system kid's speech began to become faster: [I can use the function of reading automatic archives to contact that world, but at least for a while

Just plant doomsday elements.】

At this time, the light curtain has almost reached the top of the head.

"Then let the game begin." I tapped the cube in my hand.

[Tip: Please select game mode] A mechanical female voice sounded again,

There were options on the side of the red dice facing me. There seemed to be several more options, but they all looked garbled. Only the [Single Player Mode] option was relatively complete.

I'm a little curious, but now is not the time to think about that.

I looked up at the light curtain that was gradually increasing as if I was aware that we were about to escape. I raised my hand and pressed [Single Player Mode], and continued to press the only available option [Quick Start].

A familiar mechanical female voice then sounded.

[Game mode: Single player mode]

[Doomsday Elements: Source Code]

[Map type: Islands]

[Map size: extremely small]

Hey! What kind of strange element is that?

Before I had time to ask further, the plane emitting the light of destruction was pressed to the bottom.
