Alien Knights

It's still that familiar room.

Strange conduits were spread across every corner, and countless screens with flashing images were floating around in mid-air regularly.

Todd stood up slowly, looked at the inverted triangle in the center of the room, and said softly: We meet again.

Jingsu shook his body, but there was no emotion in his voice: It's really rare to visit here twice in such a short period of time.

I did everything I was supposed to do, Todd said with a smile.

Jingsu, who was floating in the air, slowly approached Todd and asked: Is it really important to you to use the demise of your own existence in exchange for the fulfillment of your promises?

Todd shook his head and said: The measurement and conversion of values ​​is not that simple... at least not for me.

Jingsu stared at Todd for a long time, then suddenly turned around and floated out the door.

It floated and said, Come with me, someone wants to see you.

Todd was stunned: Someone... wants to see me?

Jingsu left the room silently.

Todd thought for a moment and then walked out of the room.

Arriving at the huge passage that symbolized rebirth, Todd looked back at the doors behind him that represented those who were reborn.

After hesitating for a moment, Todd turned his head and asked Jingsu: Is there a woman...?

Before Todd could finish asking, Jingsu replied while floating: She came and left again.

Todd wanted to inquire about the woman's whereabouts.

Jingsu said: I can't give you the answer you want.

After saying this, Jingsu floated into the light pillar in the center of the pipe, and his figure disappeared into the light.

Todd sighed, kicked his feet on the ground, and followed him into the beam of light.

As the light continued to rise, Todd finally came to the sea of ​​stars.

To his surprise, an old man wearing a white robe was waiting there early.

Looking at the old man's back, Todd looked at Jingsu in confusion, hoping that the latter could give an explanation.

Jingsu fell completely silent, and even the red light on his body no longer flashed.

The old man turned around.

Todd was surprised when he saw the other person's face.

Because the other person's appearance is actually somewhat similar to his own.

The old man's face was full of ravines left by the years. There were no pupils in his eyes, leaving only the whites of his eyes that shone slightly.

Welcome.

A deep and heavy voice sounded in the sea of ​​stars.

The old man faced Todd's position, leaned slightly behind him and said, My name is...

There was a sudden pause. After thinking for a moment, the old man shook his head and said, The name is not important.

You just have to remember that I am you and you are me.

Todd looked puzzled and asked doubtfully: I don't understand?

At this time, Jingsu suddenly reminded: What you are looking at is a quantum multi-dimensional image. It came from a long, long time ago, so long that time measurement has lost its meaning.

The old man continued: Why do you say we are one person? Because you and I are different reincarnations of the same soul.

I don't know how many reincarnations you have been of mine, but I have gone through tens of millions of reincarnations before recording this video.

During these millions of reincarnations, I have been exploring the secrets behind the universe.

In rebirth after rebirth, I first had a preliminary understanding of the operating mechanism of the beacon tower.

Then, through beacon towers, I studied the dark layers and dimensional walls beyond the galaxy.

Then, through the dimensional wall, I saw the void channel and discovered the method of locating and marking the multidimensional universe.

After that, with the help of many like-minded colleagues, we began to draw multi-dimensional topological maps little by little.

In the end, we discovered the most mysterious existence in all time, all space, and all dimensions - the Center.

The center is the core of the multi-dimensional score and the heart of all virtual body channels. It summarizes and processes all virtual body data in the full-dimensional universe, and controls the operation of all space, time and dimensions.

We believe that the essence of all things and the truth of all mysteries is hidden in the center.

So, we set our final research goal on the center.

After making all the preparations, we tried to crack and enter the center... but we failed... completely.

The image you see now may be my last consciousness before everything was destroyed.

The old man stopped talking, and his face showed bitterness and helplessness.

Finally, he shook his head and said: After introducing my affairs, everything I want to say next will be relevant to you.

First, let me explain, what is rebirth?

For any intelligent life form, after the body dies, all its virtual bodies will be reorganized into an information flow containing data, moving along the virtual body channel towards the center.

However, some virtual bodies will experience feedback memory during the assembly process.

If you think this is difficult to understand, then think of the souls of the reborn as souls that became sick due to exposure to the virus.

These sick souls will escape from the body channel, attach themselves to a suitable body, and be reactivated.

Perhaps you have also noticed that if rebirth is compared to a virus, then this virus can actually cause infection.

In other words, a reborn person, under the right conditions, can infect another normal individual into a reborn person.

However, the infection process is very demanding and the chances of success are extremely slim.

Only after the physical information flow between the infected person and the infected person reaches an extremely high resonance frequency, the infection can be completed.

To put it simply, when the infected person has extremely strong feelings or identification with the infected person, the reborn virus can complete replication and spread between virtual bodies.

My colleagues and I have conducted countless experiments on re-infection, and later found that in extreme conditions such as war, disaster and death, the chance of re-infection will be greater.

In other words, the more dangerous and high-pressure the environment, the easier it is for soul-to-soul resonance to occur.

Hearing this, Todd thought of something.

He turned to look at Jingsu and found that the red light in the latter's body was flashing, which seemed to be verifying his conjecture.

The old man's narration continued: So, in order to increase the number of reborn people, we designed a set of procedures.

Use a planet as the execution script and execute the program called Battle of God's Choice.

Invest a small amount of reborn people as the source of infection, and give them the status of the God's Chosen One.

Using specific winning conditions as incentives to create an extreme pressure environment to promote the rapid spread of the reborn virus.

At the same time, we have introduced a rule maker and a supervisor to the scripting environment - Jingsu.

The purpose of creating Jingsu, an AI-like virtual body, is to compare, analyze, and summarize the data on the spread of the rebirth virus, and to continuously improve the success rate of script execution on this basis.

It turns out that this script is effective. The team of reborn people is gradually expanding, and the manpower of our research center is increasing day by day.

However, as the number of reborn people increases, a new problem becomes more and more serious.

The old man said slowly: Not every reborn person has the same values ​​as us.

There are some people who are addicted to desire. They happily spend life after life collecting physical and virtual wealth.

There are some people who are obsessed with power. They never end occupying resources and land, like an insatiable monster.

There are also some people who have been on the verge of mental collapse due to repeated stress during countless reincarnations, and have turned into unstable people on the edge of madness.

In order to deal with the disputes caused by these reborn people, I and some companions from different dimensions and different races established an organization similar to a supervision center.

We call this governing body the Knights of the Reborn, and each member is called a Knight.

The Knights of the Reborn, in addition to continuing to be responsible for designing the script for the Battle of God's Choice.

Our more important task is to establish a database of memories and personalities of most of the reborn people, and to record, seal and protect the memories and personalities of the reborn people in each life.

The Knights stipulate that any reborn person, after reincarnation, can gradually extract memories and personality from the database only if he meets certain conditions;

Any reborn person who wants to join the reborn regulatory organization must pass strict testing and screening.

Any knight whose soul becomes unstable will be forced to withdraw from the Order until he meets the conditions to join next time.

All knights who join the Reborn Knights must follow the following eight principles.

1. Humility. The reborn must respect the existence of every soul and should always remember that we are not noble, we just wake up earlier than others.

2. Honor. The birth of a reborn person is not due to luck. It needs to go through layers of testing and screening. Always keep our mission in mind, cherish your reputation, and be proud of it.

3. Sacrifice. Every reincarnation of a reborn person is not to satisfy one's own selfish desires. Our rebirth is for the benefit of most people and for the eternal truth, so we should always be prepared to face the end of life. preparation.

Four. Bravery. The enemy of the reborn is the illusory destiny and mystery. Not being timid in the face of the unknown and not shrinking in the face of danger are the qualities that every member should have.

5. Compassion. Reborn people have inexhaustible knowledge and insights, but this does not mean that we can use these advantages to oppress, tease or persecute innocent souls. Sympathy for the weak and helping the weak are unconditional and necessary of.

6. Trust. A person's power is limited, and it is foolish to try to fight fate alone. Reborn people should learn to trust others and face the unknown together.

7. Honesty. Sincerity without fraud is the most basic virtue of every reborn person. Be loyal to your own choices, loyal to your own soul, and face every accountability of conscience calmly.

8. Justice. Every reborn person should strictly abide by the above principles and should not arbitrarily distort or change the original creed because of interests or conflicts of ideas.

After reading the book of principles, the old man turned his face to Todd and said softly: You are standing here today and being able to see this image means that you have abided by those principles and passed the test.

For the first time, a smile appeared on the old man's face: Congratulations... Oh, no, maybe I should say...congratulations to me?

Joining the Regulators organization means that you can freely access the memories and personality of your own previous life.

After this, other knight members will contact you one after another.

Some of them come from another plane, and some are in forms you can't imagine, so I suggest you open the database as soon as possible and fill in some of your past life memories.

After saying this, the old man stood up straight and said to Todd: Okay, my words should end here.

Stick to your beliefs and abide by your creed. No matter how bumpy and difficult the road ahead is, the future will always belong to us.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's figure slowly faded and finally disappeared into the sea of ​​stars.

Todd looked at the place where the old man disappeared, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a long time, he turned his attention to Jingsu and asked, What should I do now?

The red light on the latter's surface kept flashing, and a staircase suddenly appeared in mid-air above the sea of ​​stars, leading to a white door.

Jingsu: In your soul space, there are many huge virtual information flows following you. Maybe you should consider how to place them?

Todd looked up the stairs, and outside the huge white door, he saw countless familiar souls.

Cumberland, Emerson, Alfonso, Evie, Mary...

Those followers who had never given up from the beginning to the end were standing on the other side of the door, eagerly waiting for the appearance of their king.

Todd stepped onto the steps, looked back at Jingsu, and said, We will meet again.

Jingsu didn't speak, but a red light flashed in his body.

Todd smiled and turned his head, walked into the white door, and disappeared completely.
