According to Nolan's description, in the recent reincarnations, the world is coming to an end without exception.
"Isn't it like this before?" Hao Ren heard the profound meaning of Nolan's words and immediately followed up with a question.
"Before? At the very beginning?" Nolan thought for a moment, "It was not like this at the beginning. The earliest 'scripts' in my memory were very peaceful. Although the world reset was very strange, after each reset
The world was very safe. There were no wars at that time, the world was peaceful, and usually very wealthy. Thinking about it now, apart from being a little boring, life at that time was full of peace and ease, even so comfortable that it made people sleepy. Sometimes
My family and I lived in a big house in the mountains, and sometimes we were a peaceful and prosperous little citizen. I remember that I was even the president's daughter and the princess of a small sea country... Those were the days when there was no war at all."
Hao Ren listened in astonishment. He thought that every reincarnation of this world was an apocalypse with gunfire, but he didn't expect that what Nolan remembered most was an idyllic era. He paused and asked: "What about the world?
When did the war begin?”
"I can't remember clearly," Nolan said softly, "You know, it's very difficult to remember the exact time in reincarnation. I can only roughly estimate that it was in the middle of my memory... three or four thousand years ago or more.
Earlier, every reincarnation of the world began to become dangerous. At first, sporadic wars appeared in the 'script', then natural and man-made disasters occurred when the reset was coming, and later developed into large-scale wars and even genocide.
There is a war. And in the recent dozens of reincarnations, without exception, the world has shown signs of ending before being reset, and it has started with an iconic catastrophe."
"The nanomachine swarm is out of control..." Hao Ren muttered in a low voice, "The incident itself may be an illusion, but it has symbolic meaning...perhaps it represents the direction of the world, or some kind of 'main line'?"
"The world is a ridiculous stage play," Nolan said expressionlessly, "Maybe the director of this stage play happens to like disaster movies recently."
Nolan likes to describe the world as a stage, and directly uses "script", "director" and "plot" to tell everything he has experienced. Now Hao Ren also fully agrees with this statement. But he also has something else.
Thought: "Have you ever tried to connect with people in the 'real world' or 'woke world'?"
"You mean those 'people' who control this stage outside?" Nolan looked into Hao Ren's eyes and suddenly smiled, "I tried it. Many, many years ago, but it didn't work. No one responded, even if I tried
No matter how big the noise is, even detonating nuclear bombs in the city and blowing up the entire continental shelf, it will be useless. No one will respond to me. They will just press the reset button silently. Replace this broken stage with a new one.
It is unrealistic to want to 'woke up', we are all trapped here, we are part of this script, and the people who hold the script don't care about our little complaints as characters."
"This sounds a bit like giving up on yourself," Hao Ren sighed, "If possible, contacting the 'awakening world' is the only way."
He felt that things were in a dilemma. In the real dream plane, he could not locate the location of the planet Zomu. On this "false stage", he could not contact the real world, and if he wanted to be here
Forced to wake up, he could only sit up from the sleep cabin at home: some kind of sleeping rules prevented him from contacting the behind-the-scenes of this world, although it seemed to be only covered by a thin layer of black veil. But he couldn't grasp it at all.
Can't be touched.
It's simply heart-breaking and heart-wrenching.
When Nolan heard that Hao Ren was interested in the waking world, he immediately gave a stern warning: "Don't try it rashly, or even think too much about this idea in your mind. That's how crazy Heaton is. I've tried it once before , as a result, the brain was severely damaged, and I spent four years lying in the hospital. There must be some mechanism in this world that prevents us from leaving this place, some mechanism that is simply irresistible."
"You said the brain is severely damaged?!" Hao Ren was suddenly excited, "Does this mean that the world will actively react to human beings' thoughts of 'detachment'?"
Nolan was startled by Hao Ren's eager eyes: "What do you want to do?"
Hao Ren looked excited: "If we study this 'active response', wouldn't it be equivalent to confronting the controller behind the world?"
"I advise you to give up this idea immediately." Nolan frowned, "Let's not mention where you start. Are you sure that the controller behind the scenes of the world will be interested in a small 'character'? I even doubt you. The sober people like me who retain memories were deliberately left behind by the 'director' just to enhance the fun."
Hao Ren held his head and leaned back on the frame of the mountain bike, and breathed softly: "If this is really the case, then he is really a bad 'director'."
Nolan's warning meant little to him. No matter who or what was controlling the world behind the scenes, "it" was unlikely to affect a spiritual clone. Hao Ren was now glad that he did so through dreams. He is not afraid of the counterattack of this world. But before he can officially launch an "attack", he must first find the person who can reconcile with the behind-the-scenes controller of this world. The key to conversation.
"Swarm of nanomachines..." Hao Ren mentioned this matter again. He thought of the mysterious voice he heard dimly when he entered the ruins of the North. His intuition told him that it was probably what he was looking for. "This world has all come to an end in recent reincarnations without exception. Nolan, do you think this is simply because the person who wrote the script has a bad hobby?"
Nolan looked over curiously: "What do you mean..."
"Even if you like watching disaster movies, you'd be sick after watching it dozens of times," Hao Ren said slowly. "I'm more inclined to believe that the person behind the scenes in this world is incapable of controlling the overall situation. Maybe there's something wrong with his program. , which causes the world to collapse after running for a period of time. You said that the many reincarnations of this world at the beginning were peaceful, and it seemed to me like a paradise. I think a person who can create such a paradise world 'People' don't suddenly change their temperament and want to bring about the end of the world."
Nolan didn't say anything, just looked at Hao Ren quietly for a while. She felt that the man in front of her was too naive, but she had no intention of correcting anything. She believed that as long as Hao Ren went through a few more reincarnations like her, no matter how many more reincarnations he had, After experiencing several wars, you will become like yourself.
Nolan was once naive and died of this naivety more than once. Now she looks immature, but her heart has been vicissitudes of life and hardened. After the excitement of meeting her "companion" for the first time gradually faded, she turned her attention from exploring the world The essence of this ethereal thing shifted upwards and began to think about the next actions of the three people.
"The situation of this reincarnation is worse than before. It seems that we have been thrown on the battlefield from the beginning." Nolan rubbed his forehead and whispered, "If my memory is correct, the 'script' this time is like this
: The aerospace technology of this planet is in a deformed state. A huge "Chosen Empire" controls all cutting-edge technologies and prohibits "mortal countries" from launching high-orbit spacecraft into the sky. People who conduct aerospace research privately are called extreme by this empire.
The aerospace elements are strangled like terrorists. At this point in time, there is a serious struggle for imperial power within the 'Chosen Empire'. Some scientific and technological information has also been leaked by the progressive nobles, while other countries in the world are uniting
Rise up and plot against the overlord. Perhaps there will be a world war here soon, and the scale will not be smaller than the Sixty Years War in the last reincarnation."
"What is your identity this time?" Hao Ren asked casually.
"A freedom fighter who drives a modified car on the rampage," Nolan patted the big tire he was leaning on with his backhand. "To put it bluntly, he should be a gangster on the run. This time he came to help guard the secret base for a high commission, but
I just left my employer and ran away. There should be some troubles next. But don't worry, I'm used to it... Every time the world is reset, I have to be in a hurry. There is a price for retaining the memory of reincarnation.
, always can’t integrate into new roles well.”
Nolan smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, let me remind you, you may also meet Gray Fox's companions... Although I'm sorry, they may not be our companions this time.
If they are hostile...make them as happy as possible."
Zhi Ji Terminal, who was studying on her own feet not far away, suddenly interrupted: "Is this necessary?"
"This is to keep yourself alive," Nolan said expressionlessly, "Sooner or later the world will be reset anyway, so what's the use of retaining so many emotions? 'Innocence' is the first thing that should be discarded." (To be continued.
