Chapter 758 Chapter 750 Six · "Pioneering Undead (4)"

After sitting for a long day, you decide to turn on the dawn system.

To activate the dawn system, you first need to construct a reasonable [two-dimensional] world.

"I have to enter the Dawn system and repeatedly start the simulation of only me to measure the reasonable initial value of the [two-dimensional] world. In this way, when the [two-dimensional] world is really opened, all human beings can Step into a 'most reasonable' [two-dimensional] world."

Lin Guang, your most trusted companion, explained what you were going to do.

"I understand, it's like 'trial and error'." Lin Guang said.

"Yes, I need to obtain the most suitable initial value for the [two-dimensional] world." You said.

"Let's start, I'll be by your side to accompany you." Lin Guang sat beside you.

You store your consciousness in the dawn system, the time you feel is infinitely magnified, and you start the simulation.

For example, how much temperature is needed to maximize life.

Like how high the sun needs to be for plants to grow the fastest.

All of this requires you to spend years, even decades, in a virtual world.

No.80 Nine simulations are completed, you have exited the Dawn system, you have gone through many simulations, and have measured the initial environmental values ​​required by the [two-dimensional] world.Next, there are plant values, animal values, city values...you have to match them with the real world one by one.

Only when [[-]D] is officially opened can human beings enter a new life most adaptably.

"Are you back? I made you tea." Lin Guang always sat beside you.

"How long has the reality passed?" You drank his tea.

"Ten minutes." Lin Guang said.

"Well... I've been in the Dawn system for 12 years." You say.

Lin Guang didn't speak.

He just looked at you quietly, his eyes were like stretched moonlight.Even thousands of words cannot explain the heaviness.Five seconds later, he hugged you.This hug trembled to the extreme, like an oath of faith.

At this moment, you suddenly feel that your nose is sore.

You pat him on the back, unable to get away from his trembling.

"Okay, okay..." you whispered.

He is always silent, never leaving you, like a knight holding a blood sword.

You have embarked on a journey that will not tire you.

District eleven.Liberty League.Inquisition.Hope City.Antuofa City... You have constructed the prototypes of many forces in this fictional world, and arranged their locations and buildings.

You have walked around every corner and measured every inch of land with your feet.

The [two-dimensional] world you constructed is becoming more and more perfect. You believe that after the dawn system is officially activated, human beings will be able to persist in this pure land for a long time.

After 278 simulations, when you exited the dawn system, your consciousness went into a trance, and you almost forgot who you were at that moment.

You are suddenly wary.

The human soul has life, even if your body is still young.

The length of time you have experienced has begun to exceed your tolerance-your soul has begun to wear down, your consciousness has begun to blur, and your wisdom has begun to decline.

In one simulation, you slept for days.Sometimes, you forget how to chew your food and need a nutrient solution to stay alive.Sometimes, you even forget how to speak and pronounce words... You are like a young man suffering from Alzheimer's.

"You, who are you?" After a simulation, you stared at Lin Guang in a daze.

He was stunned for a moment, then held your hand tightly: "I am Lin Guang."

You nod your head.

After a moment, you say, "Who am I?"

"You are Asa Actor."

You nod your head.

After a while, you said, "Who am I?"

"You are Asa Actor." Lin Guang repeated patiently, awakening your worn-out memory.

"I'm Asa Actor." You smiled like a silly baby: "Why do you have such a sad expression? Come out, Lin Guang."

A moment later, you said:
"...Hey, who am I?"

You don't understand why Lin Guang looks at you so painfully.Your spirit is crumbling like a sand tower, like a dehydrated fish.

After taking the medicine, you come back to your senses and realize that you have just experienced symptoms of amnesia.

You can hardly escape your fear.

One day, when you looked in the mirror, you felt that the self in the mirror was so strange.What is it that settles in those gray eyes of his own...?
Is it the smog on the battlefield?
Is it finely divided black powder?
Or the ashes of the dead that you picked up with your own hands and finally fell into your eyes?
Is it these muted colors that turn your eyes dark gray, or is that just what it should be?

……

[I remembered that I used to like philosophy and exploration so much. 】

[But now, I won't even look at it. 】

【--why? 】

[My face has never aged, but my soul has entered old age? 】

……

"Teacher, can we give up? Go on a long voyage with me." One day, Tretia raised her head, her red lips were like a fire, and she begged you to leave.

Her clear eyes seem to be interrogating you - is it worth it?
"I'm sorry." You say, "I can't. I have to take humans into [two dimensions]."

Tretia could only sigh when she heard the words.

She gave you a bronze pocket watch with a gold chain.

In simulation, after getting fuzzy about time, you use it to keep time.It is your anchor, reminds you of who you are, and reminds you that there is someone named Teretia waiting for you.

You have reached the pinnacle of research in the three fields of mechanics, biochemistry, and artificial intelligence.People start to respect you as a real god.

But this is not enough.

"The [two-dimensional] world is not perfect yet, we must continue to simulate and make up for every loophole..." You gritted your teeth.

When you can't hold on, your companion starts to accompany you.

"Take us to the simulation," they said:

"If you forget how to eat, I will feed you."

"If you forget how to speak, I will teach you how to speak."

"If you have Alzheimer's, we'll raise you like a child."

"If you forget who we are...we will get to know you again."

"You don't have to bear the pain of an entire civilization. Asa Actor. You are human, not god."

Qi handed you the candy, Tretia gave you a hug, Beiliser made a medicinal soup for you, Lin Guang gave you a flute song, Xi gave you a zipper, Melting Yuan sent you Sworn to protect mankind for a lifetime.

You laughed out loud.

You like to hear people say that you are not a god.

"I want to do something for them."

"Even a little bit is fine."

This is the 244th day of the war, starting from the 293rd simulation, every time you enter the dawn system, you will have a companion to accompany you.

You will walk through this barren [two-dimensional] world with this companion to complete this simulation task.

But in the end,
It turned out that they couldn't hold on before you.

Long hours are enough to drive them crazy.

The first to go crazy was Tretia.She looks like an old lady suffering from Alzheimer's disease, with a young face...

"Who am I?" she repeated:

"Teacher, I love you, who am I?"

You saved her brain and entered it into the Dawn system.I hope she can be reborn after the [two-dimensional] world is officially opened.

The second one who couldn't hold on was Qi.

According to his last wish, you killed him with your own hands.Qi is unwilling to live in the future [two-dimensional] in the form of a program, and you respect him.

Before he died, he gave you his carefully stored candy jar, asking you to eat one every day, and don't forget to be happy.

You said yes to him.

You can't be happy at all.

(5/9)

……

After the two of them died, the one who accompanied you became Northern Lyser.

During the long simulation, North Liesel began talking in his sleep, dreaming, and hallucinating.

"It's so cold... Akto." Bei Liser hugged you tightly: "Am I dreaming again, don't die, okay..."

Your vision began to waver, and you opened your mouth to save something.

The human heart can only tolerate a certain degree of despair, and the sponge has already absorbed enough water, and even if the sea flows over it, it will not be able to add a drop of water to it.

His expression makes you think he's on the verge of tears.You want them to stop being with you and just continue leading the war in reality.But they refused.They don't want you to simulate repeatedly in the dawn system alone, after all, you have already shown the symptoms of Alzheimer's.

But you know, you are mortal, and it takes your life to activate the Dawn system.

It's hard to imagine the madness people will go into when you die.So you buried many administrator accounts in the [two-dimensional] world, and reproduced your knowledge and body. In this way, there will be a steady stream of "Aktor" in the future.

"Beiliser, even if I'm not here, you must still be alive." Your eyes trembled.

"No, I will wait for you." North Lissel whispered: "If one day you disappear, I will find a safe place and wait for you forever...until you appear in front of me."

"Don't do that," you say.

Coincidentally, you came to a valley, and there is a beautiful spring in the valley.The white-haired boy stood among the flowers and smiled at you. His smile was innocent and cruel:

"Asa, what do you think of this valley?"

"If one day you disappear."

"I will wait for you in this valley, forever and ever..."

"You must remember this, remember that there is a man named Bei Liser waiting for you when you come back..."

You don't speak.

She just smiled silently at him, turned around, biting the corner of her mouth to bleed.

……

[I don't know who else will leave me. 】

[If people want to rely on the departure of their companions to continue their lives, I would rather choose to bear it alone.As long as you are the only one who gets hurt, you won't be sad anymore. 】

[Otherwise, I always feel that my heart seems to be clutching something, and the depression makes me go crazy. 】

[Too many tragedies happened here, I thought that as long as I had enough people around me, I would not feel lonely. 】

【I seem to be just a heavy shadow, burdened with inexplicable unwillingness. 】

【Every minute and every second is unforgettable. 】

[If there are cages everywhere, what's the use of escaping? 】

【……don't want. 】

【I do not want. 】

……

While you're constantly simulating, you're also leading real-world battles.

On the 257th day of the war, in the middle of the sand, you tremblingly raised the sword in your hand, calling on people to avenge the victims, screaming hoarsely.

"—Please continue to fight!"

"—Please fight for the dead Terretia, Yue and Qi, and for the life and glory of human beings!"

The way people look at you is different from fanaticism, more like admiration.It's as if they want to connect themselves to some kind of heavenly kingdom by looking at you.

All the shackles of living beings are thrown on your legs, and you have walked a long way with these shackles bleeding.

While you have to endure the sequelae of soul aging, you have to make the most decisive and precise war decisions.

And the pain that has been accumulated for a long time finally turned into a sentence——

"—Please live with me."

Indestructible, like declaring war on fate.

You repeated the call, your face flushed with blood from the continual call, and your skin flushed.

"—Please live with me!"

But it didn't take long.

They become tombstones before you.

……

[Sometimes, I want to seek death in battle. 】

[But people's gazes tell me—no, you don't have the right to die.They even used their lives to build a solid wall for me, and used actions to cut off the possibility of my death. 】

【Their expectations turned into a deep-seated curse. 】

【I fought desperately, but I only got a riddled me, but if I didn't fight, I wouldn't even have a riddled me. 】

……

Day 261 of the war.

You gradually become a machine.

Sometimes, tears slide down the cheeks without knowing it.You often feel sad and angry, but you don’t know what you are sad. It seems that it is just a physiological reaction made of hormones, rather than something called emotion in your brain.There are voices bursting into mourning one after another in your mind.

【again. 】

【again. 】

【again……】

Linguang always sits by your side, accompanying you in the simulation.

After a simulation, you are gasping for breath, almost dying.

"Can you think for yourself...just once? You become the scale itself, with the world at one end and you at the other. Will you ever turn the scale in your direction once in a hundred or a thousand measurements? ?” Lin Guang looked at you:
"You are always...wronging yourself, ignoring yourself, hurting yourself, sacrificing yourself..."

But you just smiled and didn't agree to his entreaty.

"Don't talk me out of it, this is the thousandth and second simulation. I succeeded," you tell him.

Lin Guang was startled slightly.

He didn't expect you to succeed.

But you really did.

Just like in slow motion, you see the excitement in Lin Guang's eyes, and you see your companions rushing towards you happily.You see... the perfect [two-dimensional] data has been collected by you, just waiting for you to officially bring all human beings into it.

Just waiting for you... to pour your life into it.

You finally built the most perfect [two-dimensional] initial world - you named it "Ceusta".

……

"During the time of catastrophe, it represents a legend."

You whispered:

"——In legend, there is a bird named "Caius", which rises from dusk and sets from dawn. Hovering above the sky, it will always accompany the first morning light.

"—— According to legend, it will not die, will not touch the ground, will always fly in the air, and is the embodiment of hope.

"I hope... this bird of hope and peace can bring the morning sun to mankind."

When you are separated from the dawn system little by little, you finally feel quiet.

On the horizon, the sun rises.

……

"The Herald never dies, the Dawn lives forever."

……

You looked at the rising sun in the distance and smiled slightly.

"I am willing to do my best to bring you the future."

……

……

"The smile on my face has long since disappeared, my tone has become cold, and even the piano can't change the softness in my temperament."

"How long has it been since I hugged someone or touched someone's hand? I have no memory of what a temperature of 36.7 degrees looks like. I have already become something I can't imagine."

"So, I have always hated deifying a person. In this way, it is tantamount to depriving a person of his sensibility, depriving him of his soft shell, depriving him of his ability to communicate and love, and enshrining him on a cold throne , alienated into a steel symbol surrounded by flowers."

"I am proud to be human. God is an objectionable race in my eyes."

"But this broken world needs God."

"But everyone needs me to be a god."

……

You look at the red dawn system in front of you, with gentle eyes.It takes your life to turn it on.

You smiled very lightly and slowly, but the smile was like a sigh from nowhere, and the bulging and trembling emotions were expanding.

"So, I am Asa Actor."

"—I have degraded myself to a god."

White birds circle around you.

Like a grand sacrifice.
