Lin Sen followed Han Kongwen, watching her running, screaming and laughing in the empty city.
For some reason, Lin Sen suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of peace and excitement.
people……
What exactly are you living for?
Some people may say that I do it for a better living environment and quality, others may say that I do it for my family and friends, but few people say that I exist to fill the world with color.
And now, Lin Sen saw such a person, looking forward to making the world no longer lonely.
Compared to the indifferent and silent world, humans are perhaps the most unruly, noisy, noisy, and the most troublesome existence for all living creatures.
But human beings have also tried their best to prove the value of the world with their own existence.
Just like the current Han Kongwen.
She has been dead for a long time, and she can obviously become useless and even look hateful.
But she didn't...she lived for a better tomorrow.
She lives just hoping that this world will not be cruel and can be more gentle...
Just like when Xue Ming and others gave up on Cerberus, what Han Kongwen was doing was not to cooperate with Xue Ming's order, but to look forward to using his own power to accomplish the transcendence of these people.
Now, she has succeeded, and she is walking in the streets of the digital world.
Naked.
There is no trace of filth or filth in the naked body.
She is the child in the Garden of Eden, the purest child with good intentions and hope for inheritance.
…
"Why did you reject her?" Lin Sen's smile disappeared at the same time as Han Kongwen disappeared.
He was questioning Victory, questioning the master of numbers that represented creation and order.
Victory replied: "Because I am afraid. I am afraid that there is a group of beings in this world that I cannot control. They are like the new masters of this world, a group of self-righteous invaders. Besides being able to kill them, what can I do?"
It can’t be done either.”
Very straightforward answer.
Lin Sen has always known this answer, but he still had to ask it because he needed Victoria's true expression.
"Then in your numerically structured thinking, what should this world have? These silent, empty cities? Don't you feel scared?"
Victory pondered for a while and then replied: "No, fear is a luxury wish for me. I just hope that everything in existence can operate in order, and the best state is to deny self-will, which is to deny human beings."
Lin Sen laughed after hearing this. He smiled and shook his head and said: "No, no, no, you are wrong, you are still afraid. You are afraid that there are things in this world that you cannot control and may hurt you.
They are clearly right in front of you, but you can't be sure of their true thoughts. You can only watch them grow stronger and stronger, until they reach the point where you can't control them. What you worry about is only your rights, and
If it is not the development and continuation of this world, this is also the crux of the problem that you will never be able to become a human being."
Victory was stunned for a while, and then smiled: "Becoming a human? Why should I become a human? How could I expect such a weak, suspicious thing, which would not survive a hundred years even if there was no such apocalypse?
Be them?”
Lin Sen listened quietly and pondered for a long time before saying: "Then why do you want me to protect you? Why do you want to live?"
alive?......
Victory fell into deep thought.
yes……
Why is an existence that already has eternity so attached to, or even obsessed with, existence?
What is the reason for this?
Victory was actually thinking about this issue very early on.
What is the purpose of existence?
Is it to witness and create memories, or to linger on for meaningless creation?
Are you afraid or unwilling?
Are these codes, or his real reactions?
Victoria had nothing to say, and she silently chose to escape.
After Victory disappeared from his consciousness, Lin Sen also returned to the devastated city.
At this time, the city had completely fallen.
The life signal also disappeared from sight.
All Lin Sen could see was endless mechanical life and endless entanglement of numbers.
They are like a dense forest that is growing wildly, blocking out the sun and covering everything in shadow.
…
"Sister Yan, we are still 17 kilometers away from the target. The current deduction data shows that our chance of success is less than 1%." Canaan driver Corina Z1 followed behind Lin Yan.
Lin Yan did not reject the support of her companions like in the movie, but she also knew that everything she did might ruin everything in front of her.
"Canaan, please go back. Don't go to death with me." Lin Yan didn't stop. It took a lot of courage for her to say this.
After hearing this, Canaan replied: "Sister Yan, it's pointless for us to talk about this kind of thing. If you can sacrifice, how can I survive! It's better for me to die with honor!"
After Lin Yan heard what Canaan said, she understood and said no more.
…
When the two arrived at the target area targeted by Qin Wen, it was already 1 p.m. on November 18, 103 Era.
Current data shows that the number of survivors has dropped sharply to less than 20 million.
…
"We need to win," Amy muttered to herself in the basement.
After hearing this, Han Kongwen replied: "We still need a trial."
"Trial?" Amy was a little confused. In her plan, trial never appeared.
Han Kongwen looked at her, and then replied seriously: "A trial to awaken mankind's consciousness of resistance, I need all living people to prove to the world that their existence is valuable, and the continuation of mankind should never be based on
At the expense of some people, any one person has the same value as the whole world."
Han Kongwen's words sounded as unreal as he was talking in his sleep.
After hearing this, Amy laughed and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can it be the same? If it is the same, why are we in the current situation? If it is the same, why are the people of Cerberus being gathered together and destroyed? Obviously everyone
We all know that the end is coming, but we still calmly do things like butchers? Is it really for the sake of continuation? Can they solve the fact of human extinction by calmly reading The Last Days?"
A series of questions struck Han Kongwen's heart.
These questions...she asked her mother when she was very young.
"Why do you have to do these things? Why do you want to save the world, but you can't even save your own home?" My father's words are still vivid in my mind.
Han Kongwen was deeply touched every time he thought of these words.
yes……
Why am I?
Is it just a continuation of the righteousness of the family and the country?
After receiving so much infamy, do these continuations still make sense?
There were 130 million people, an unimaginably large number, but now there are less than 20 million people left.
Am I really saved?
Han Kongwen asked himself.
No……
I was wrong...my self-confidence cost me the most.
"I'm going to help Sister Yan." Han Kongwen said and left the basement, leaving Amy and Zoe alone. They cuddled up to each other and seemed to no longer care about the safety of the entire world. The silence between each other explained the best choice.
What does it mean to be without independent thought...
…
Lin Sen appeared on the main road in the second block of az1. There was no one here now, and there were only some blood stains left on the road. Other than that, everything was the same as the digital city that Lin Sen saw, empty...
…barren……
"Who do you think caused all this?" Lin Sen asked Victory.
Victory, who was escaping from reality, was silent for a long time and then said: "Perhaps they are a group of complete losers. They are already full of despair for the continuation of mankind, so they are even more looking forward to everything coming as soon as possible."
After hearing what Victory said, Lin Sen didn't react for a moment, mainly because he clearly realized that there were many words in these words that he couldn't understand.
"What are you trying to say?" Lin Sen walked along the street. Apart from blood stains, he didn't even encounter a single mechanical creature along the way.
Victory thought for a while and then said: "To give a simple example, it is like a Russian turntable. A bullet is put into a left-wheel gun. The participants turn the magazine of the left-wheel gun and then stop it.
When you pull the trigger on yourself next time, life or death depends entirely on luck. This bloody game gives humans great stimulation."
Lin Sen remained silent. This was the first time he had heard of this cruel game.
Victory continued: "In this game, the reason why participants feel stimulated is not because they have a high chance of surviving, but because they have a relatively small but unacceptable death. These things stimulate
It stimulates their brains so that they can clearly feel the passing of death."
Lin Sen listened very carefully, and at the same time sighed at the weirdness and horror of human nature.
In pursuit of excitement, can you even bet on life and death?
"But there is a novel way to play the Russian turntable, which is to fill the magazine, then pull out only one bullet, and then let the participants try to turn it and pull the trigger against their own heads! Is this method more interesting?
How about something more exciting?" Victory's statement was very strange.
After listening to this, Lin Sen carefully analyzed the situation she described.
Previously, participants had a greater chance of being alive, and death became the main factor stimulating their senses.
But now, participants have a greater chance of dying, and living has become a luxury for them, rather than a stimulus...
Lin Sen was stunned, although silent.
In the long silence, the death toll further decreased, leaving less than 15 million survivors.
The scale and speed of the extinction far exceeded Lin Sen's imagination.
"Which mode do you prefer?" Victoria asked.
Lin Sen finally understood at this time.
One is to touch death with the habit of living, the other is to pray for survival knowing death...
Aren't the two completely different mentalities alluding to the current people in Cerberus?
"I understand..." Han Kongwen said and turned around and left the basement, but instead of helping Lin Yan and Canaan, she left the Liruites alone and walked on the street, waiting...
