"You are my most outstanding work." The terminal said chilling words in a warm tone.
Li Zheng took a deep breath: "What is your purpose in bringing me here this time?"
There are so many people participating in the mission, and Zhan Zhouzhou has completed the same number of missions as him, but he is the only one who can come to the center. There is no terminal manipulation. Who believes it?
"I do have some questions I want to know." The terminal said: "But after seeing you with my own eyes, many doubts have been solved. Have you met him, right? He also gave you your mental power?"
"He?" Li Zheng frowned: "You mean...Xu?"
"Xu? Hahaha..." The terminal seemed to have heard a humorous joke, and his face was a little deformed when he smiled: "Did he actually give himself such a middle-class nickname?"
Smiling, he sighed: "Yes, this is his style. After all, we are one, and I should understand him."
Li Zheng did not speak, but quietly looked at the face shown in the terminal. He did not find even a trace of negative emotions related to words such as violence, cruelty, and bloodthirsty from the other person's tone or expression. Instead, he felt that the terminal was more like
A familiar old friend, kind and gentle.
"Since you have already met him, you should also know the relationship between me and him, right?" The terminal had laughed enough and asked seriously.
"Yeah." Li Zheng nodded: "Xu said that you were originally the same person, but you were separated later. One represents the positive side and the other represents the negative side."
"Did he also say that I am negative and he is positive?" The terminal continued to ask playfully.
Li Zheng nodded, indicating his acquiescence.
"Haha, I knew he was still the same." The terminal seemed to have expected it, and then said something that made Li Zheng doubt his life: "If I tell you that he cheated on you, in fact, I am the positive and he is the negative.
, would you believe it?”
With preconceived notions, Li Zheng thought for a moment and shook his head gently: "It's hard for me to believe what you said."
"Don't worry, I have evidence to prove this." The terminal asked: "Do you think that if he represents the positive side, then he would be kind-hearted and would create a way to induce others to kill each other in order to get the key to open that space?"
There was no need to say more, just this sentence made Li Zheng'an think of many things like an enlightenment.
When Xu told Li Zheng before that he had positive emotions and the terminal was a collection of all negative emotions, he felt a strong sense of disobedience.
But he didn't think much about it at that time, and he didn't doubt whether what Xu said was true or false.
After all, Xu was focusing on helping him improve his mental strength at that time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was Li Zheng's teacher.
How could he doubt the other party?
However, now that he was exposed by the terminal, Li Zhengcai realized belatedly that between the two... maybe the terminal really represented the front.
From the series of operations after the players enter the matrix, it is not difficult to see that the terminal is trying its best to ensure the basic experience effect and reduce the mortality rate of the players.
And the most critical point is that if the terminal is really a cruel existence, how can it give the setting of the red-named bloody person?
Isn't it just to remind others that this person is a dangerous person by being riddled with blood after killing someone?
"There is another point that you may not have thought about, or you may not understand enough the crisis we need to face, so you have ignored it." The terminal continued: "In these days of entering the matrix, you must be aware of the existence of emotional storms, right?"
"I know." Li Zheng nodded silently.
"Then you must also know that emotional storms are actually the accumulation of countless negative emotions, which eventually undergo a qualitative change, right?"
"Yes."
"If it is true that I am the negative one as he said, then why did I, who was completely dominated by negative emotions, not choose to join the emotional storm, but work hard to fight against it for so many years?"
At this moment, Li Zheng's thoughts really began to waver.
That's right, according to what Xu said, since Terminal is the party representing evil, why didn't he choose to embrace the emotional storm that was also composed of 'evil', but instead fight against 'evil'?
Only 'good' is completely opposite to 'evil'!
"Besides, let me show you something more, just to increase your persuasion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zheng found that the ground around him was being stirred up like building blocks, turned over layer by layer, and finally formed into something like a shelf.
There are so many shelves that you can’t count them at a glance. They are so densely packed.
There is at least one thing on every shelf.
Li Zheng walked over and looked at several shelves.
A transparent container full of technology, with both ends sealed by alloy materials, and filled with an unknown red viscous liquid.
"This is mercurochrome, not the mercury red that is used in disinfectants, but the mercury red that can be made into nuclear bombs." The face of the terminal appeared on the electronic screen next to the shelf, introducing Li Zheng: "In our world, mercury red
The nuclear bomb is just a hoax, but it was really developed here. Just what you see in front of you, once it explodes, it can destroy most of the outer city in an instant, and the radiation caused can even spread to the outer city and all areas of the matrix.
, destroy all the racial civilization that we have worked hard to preserve over the years!"
"In order to prevent such a situation from happening, I immediately sent out clones and wiped out all relevant personnel in that laboratory. The mercurochrome that had been produced was also stored in the center. It has been more than three thousand years and has not been leaked out.
"
"And this." The terminal image jumped to the shelf next to it. There was an ordinary metal stick on the shelf, with a strange sphere at the front of the stick.
"If I didn't tell you, could you imagine that this thing is actually a space-based weapon capable of destroying an entire civilization?"
"As long as you give it enough energy, it can blast all known matter in the universe with one blast!"
"Neutron stars can't stop it!"
"Unfortunately, emotional storms are not included here, because emotional storms have no substance."
"Next is this...an extremely dangerous 'meme'." The terminal image introduced Li Zheng one by one: "This 'meme' is uncontrollably contagious. You can understand it as the original virus, which is infected by the virus."
No matter which race it is, as long as it has not escaped the constraints of flesh and blood, even an insect will become extremely aggressive and lose its mind."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This characteristic... doesn't it sound like the T virus?" Li Zheng felt it sounded familiar and thought of a certain apocalyptic setting.
"Stronger than that!" the terminal said: "The T virus is completely incomparable to it, because the virus has serum and antidote, and there is hope that the virus can be cured before it fully takes effect. But 'meme' has no antidote!"
Next, the terminal introduced Li Zheng to a variety of dangerous things, most of which were strange and weird things, but they had one thing in common.
That is, if the restrictions on use are relaxed, a civilization can be destroyed in a short time!
"No wonder I didn't find weapons of mass destruction in the matrix and the outer city. It turns out they are all here with you." Li Zheng pondered for a while.
Terminal explained: "Because the evil in human nature cannot be controlled, I will contain any similar things that appear and try to prevent some uncontrollable events from happening in the outside world.
All races are already very fragile and cannot withstand too much violent turmoil. Even if some people die during the containment process, they are still forced to do so."
The person who invented these things would be safest only to die.
Even if their memories are erased, there is no guarantee that something similar will not be re-invented someday in the future.
"Okay." Li Zheng had begun to agree with what Terminal had said before. Maybe Xu Zhen had deceived himself, and Terminal represented the 'good' side.
He turned his head and saw something familiar. He pointed at it and asked, "I can understand that those extremely dangerous things are contained. Why are the genetic medicines here too?"
"Because the dangers of genetic medicines are no less dangerous than those I just introduced to you." The terminal moved over: "I know that you obtained the production method of low-level genetic medicines through a certain channel, and I also know that you made up for it through genetic medicines.
Some genetic defects of being a clone."
"But don't be deceived by illusions!"
"The low-level gene potion is indeed a positive gain. It provided the outer city with quite good combat power for a long time."
"It's just that the ideal level for taking genetic medicine is the same as the level of mental power. It can only be lower than the primary level."
"Because genes at this time are in their most perfect state."
"Once the genetic agent is taken beyond the limit, the recipient will develop symptoms of dehumanization and gradually become unlimited."
"Eventually it will evolve into an existence very similar to those twisted creatures, which is extremely dangerous!"
Li Zheng listened to the terminal's introduction and understood: "So those factories in the outer city that are often attacked and then disappear are actually led by you from behind?"
He didn't ask, since the genetic medicine has such strong side effects, will those people be fine soon if they control the level of the medicine they take in? Such nonsense.
How many people can resist the temptation when there is something in front of them that can improve their strength and make them stronger?
Especially in a place like the outer city, even if there are no worries from foreign enemies for the time being, there are still the threats of wild beasts and bloody ones in the wilderness, and you may die in a corner one day.
It is even more impossible to resist the desire to become stronger and consciously not use over-limit potions.
"Only a small part." Terminal said: "Most of the rest are actually caused by competition in the market from other cities and have nothing to do with me."
"In other words, the culture solution factory that can accelerate plant growth actually disappeared because of market competition?" Li Zheng nodded, thoughtfully.
"Ahem, I destroyed that culture solution factory too." The terminal was embarrassed for a moment, and then said, "Follow me."
He disappeared from the monitor and jumped to another shelf in the distance.
Li Zheng followed him. Ever since he entered the center, the Eye of Preles began to pretend to be dead for a long time without any reaction at all.
"The culture solution factory you mentioned produced such a thing." After the terminal waited for Li Zheng to come over, the avatar disappeared and another picture appeared on the monitor.
The first figure that appeared among them was so familiar to Li Zheng that he couldn't be more familiar with it.
