Instructor, can I tag you?

Chen Yu's fingers were still hooked on the particle gun at his waist, but he stopped breaking out, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean?"

Ryan sat on his knees and coughed twice with an ugly expression: "Ahem, No. 04 and the others... installed the black tower self-destruct program in the first floor of the remaining black tower. If you don't do something, immediately , the fragments from the explosion will fall all over the Hiller Wilderness, and no one will know whether this green land will still be a green land by then..."

Chen Yu pursed his lips and fell silent for a while.

An orderly's loud voice came through the communicator: "Report sir! The situation was reported 5 minutes ago, and now I have received instructions from Admiral Warner that the Black Tower is too suspicious. This operation must be traced to the Black Tower at all costs. !"

Chen Yu's gaze sank.

Just when Ryan thought there was no hope, he said decisively: "Xiaman, send out the instructions immediately, everyone, stand still."

The messenger reminded with a loud voice: "Major Chen, please think clearly, the entire garrison of Taoyuan No. 33 is surrounded here, as long as we can have a starship to catch up, even if we only touch the enemy's A little tail, they can't escape! In this case, the self-destruct program is just a means used by the enemy to confuse our sight. If we are fooled by this, the small loss will outweigh—"

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows and sneered, before he finished listening, he cut off the special channel of the messenger, and his ears became much clearer.

Xia Man's voice sounded, and this time he was a little anxious: "Brother Chen, the order has been issued. However, my system has detected the self-destruction process of the black tower, and it will start immediately in 3 minutes. Come out there!"

Chen Yu stood where he was, and the breeze that leaked in from the surrounding windows gently lifted his forehead hair.

"Xia Man, is it possible to forcibly interrupt the self-destruct procedure?" Chen Yu said, his tone still calm.

Xia Man was almost crying because of his calmness: "It can't be done, Brother Chen. The defense program of this black tower is too strange, it is completely different from anything I have seen before! Only last time you learned from that What is the last layer of defense program of the document obtained by No. 05, which is the writing method used. But I can’t solve both of them, really, I won’t lie to you! You’d better get out of there as soon as possible Bar!"

"Ding—alert! Alert! The emergency self-destruct procedure will start in 2 minutes, please return to the cultivation cabin as soon as possible!"

The electronic sound covering the entire black tower finished broadcasting without emotion, and the red lights of the cultivation cabin lit up all at once. After listening to those people who were rushing towards Chen Yu and the others with ferocious faces, they collectively stopped in their tracks, with expressions on their faces. With a frightened expression, the machine is generally stuck in place

Ryan wiped the cold sweat off his head, and his tone was a bit absent-minded and empty because of disbelief: "There are only 2 minutes left...Is there really no way? Hiller Wasteland, is it really going to be so ruined? "

Chen Yu shoved the particle gun back into his waist neatly, and said in a cold voice, "No, there is another way. If we open all the defense nets of all the starships parked near here and forcibly splice them into a closed space, we can put the The range of the Black Tower's self-destructive energy is limited to this enclosed space, so the Hiller Wilderness will not be affected. But—”

He paused, and turned his gaze to Qin Ran: "It may be difficult to do this, because it should require a person who is currently inside the Black Tower to monitor the situation at any time, and can also be distracted and precisely control nearly a hundred ships at the same time. The defense net of the starship."

The only person who meets these conditions is Qin Ran.

But, to be honest, Chen Yu was a little uncertain.

After all, Qin Ran never had any obligation to help him.

What's more, this matter is extremely dangerous, almost walking on the edge of a knife, and if one is not careful, it may be wiped out along with the exploding black tower.

"Final warning! Final warning! There is only 1 minute left before the self-destruct program starts!"

Panic footsteps sounded, and the members of the thirteenth regiment of the atrium quickly retreated towards the cultivation cabin.

In general, such cabins have considerable protection functions.

"10 minutes."

After Qin Ran was silent for a while, he raised his eyebrows and said suddenly: "It will take me 10 minutes to open and connect all the defense nets. So, I need those useless snacks outside to delay this self-destruct procedure for 10 minutes."

After hearing this, Xia Man said solemnly: "No, the limit I can do is only 5 minutes."

At this time, a childish and clear child's voice interrupted abruptly: "Brother, I can, I can help you delay for another 5 minutes."

Ryan yelled angrily: "Nan Xing, don't mess around! What can you do as a child?"

Nan Xing blinked, but did not reply to Ryan's words.

However, she quickly climbed up to the high platform where Xiaman placed the system instrument, inserted a small bear memory disk into the interface, and said calmly: "Brother, Dad, I am not messing around. I can really do it. Or, to put it another way, you Do you know why I can do the so-called prophecy of life and death?"

No one answered, Nan Xing smiled, and continued: "That's because my special ability is actually analysis. All causes and effects in this world, no matter how subtle, are deeply imprinted in my mind. So, through them , I can not only know the past, the present, but also calculate the future.”

She paused: "And if my personality simulation program can be fully completed, then all the memories and thoughts in my mind, including my analytical ability, can all be stored in one system. Such a system will be The most intelligent person in the entire Federation, even if he can't unlock the black tower's self-destruct program, he can still do it if he just delays it for 10 minutes."

Chen Yu frowned slightly: "Then... what will happen to you if the personality simulation program is completed?"

Ryan was a little anxious at the side: "Nan Xing, what are you talking about? Why didn't you tell me about it? What kind of personality simulation program, whose personality is it simulating, yours?"

"Ding—the self-destruct program is delayed, and it will start again in 5 minutes!"

Xia Man wiped the sweat off his brow and said, "Okay, there is no problem on my side, what to do next is up to you."

Nan Xing covered the cherry blossom umbrella: "Yes, Dad, it's the simulated me. And, after the program is completed..."

Two teardrops slipped from the corners of her eyes: "I will disappear from this false reincarnation that you, Dad, have built for me. After all, I only exist in the form of spiritual power now, and all I have All the causes and effects I know point to my doomed death, no matter how hard I struggle, it seems useless, isn't it?"

"But—" Her voice gradually trembled, but the smile on her lips still lingered: "Dad, don't worry, there is a person who has my memory, my ability, even my character, my thoughts, she will Will live instead of me. Thinking about it this way, I don't seem to have died."

Ryan stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Nan Xing, but he was blocked by the screen.

"Nan Xing, listen to me, you must not be impulsive. No one can know whether the one who is alive is you, right? So, there must be other ways. Don't do that first, can you?"

In the noisy background, the system instrument began to broadcast cheerfully: "Congratulations! My little master! The simulation process has progressed to [-]%, do you want to start it now?"

Nan Xing looked at Leian and shook his head slowly: "No, Dad, there is no other way. Besides, Dad, do you know that the so-called land of immortality and the lies of reincarnation should have ended long ago, if I continue to live in this form, the people of Taoyuan 33 will never escape the curse of infinite reincarnation, can't they? In that case, I will become a real witch, but, I don't want to, Dad, I really I don't want to."

"Although many people don't like me, but...but when I'm alone, there will still be children who secretly come to play with me without telling my parents. When I meet my favorite bread, the aunt who sells bread , I will still quietly give me one more... Also, there are many more, they are all kind people, why should I kill them, why should I let them never grow up, and can't escape the shackles of ten days Woolen cloth?"

The voice fell to the ground, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

There was silence all around, and Nan Xing's question seemed to be still echoing in the air.

why……?

Why do people always have to make some dilemmas in order to survive?

After listening to her words, Ryan froze in place, his eyes gradually dimmed.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, nodded mechanically with difficulty, and said in a hollow voice, "I'm sorry... Nan Xing, I didn't think you didn't want to live like this at all, I was too selfish."

"This time, Dad listens to you."

Nan Xing closed her eyes and smiled contentedly, with a slight dimple appearing at the corner of her mouth.

And across a screen, Chen Yu saw that she stretched out her hand and slowly pressed the start button on the system instrument.

At the same time, her own almost transparent body flickered twice before disappearing completely.

"Okay, thank you Dad."

The clear voice echoed for a long time, and everyone fell into a long silence and absent minded.

Until the announcement in the Black Tower sounded again: "Attention! Attention! The self-destruct program has encountered a delay, and it will start again in 10 minutes!"

……

After 40 minutes and [-] seconds, Qin Ran entered the last command, and the huge and tight defense net was woven.

At that moment, all the starships of the Federal Army immediately opened their own protection domains.

Under the control of precise instructions, the protection domains are connected one by one, like closed petals, tightly wrapping the black tower in it.

"Final alert! Final alert! Self-destruct program starts in 15 seconds!"

Chen Yu and Qin Ran looked at each other, and then decisively supported Leian alone, and quickly passed through the hole that exploded on the black tower with the help of mental power, and jumped down.

The starship of the mercenary group drew a strange arc in midair, and then stretched out the grasping rope with incomparable precision to grab the three fallen people into the interior of the starship.

At the same time, the acceleration systems of each starship were activated to the extreme, and they evacuated out of the closed circle of the defense network almost like crazy.

There was a loud "bang", like gorgeous fireworks blooming, the black tower exploded and fell apart!

Under the impact of powerful energy, the protection domain kept vibrating, faintly glowing!

The people who were playing or working on the Hiller Wilderness felt something, and looked up one after another.

However, after a while, they all looked away in unison.

Some children asked their parents curiously: "Mom and Dad! What is that? A meteor? A meteorite? It's so big! But that meteorite seems to have exploded, so it won't fall down and hit us Already?"

The gentle mother will bend down and answer: "Well, mother also thinks so, let's make a wish on it, maybe it will come true tomorrow."

The peaceful and beautiful life will continue on this F-class planet. No one will know that they have experienced life and death crises, and no one will know that someone has saved them from the fire and water.

……

In the distance, on the second and third floors of the black tower that has disappeared without a trace.

The man in a suit gently opened the curtains on the top floor, his eyes were deep: "Su Liang, look, a seed has died to save those ordinary people."

The female voice replied softly: "Yes, I saw it too, Mr. Bai."

The man sighed softly and muttered to himself: "Why, does such behavior make sense?"

The woman shook her head: "No, it doesn't make sense. Mr. Bai, you said that the seeds are born for the oracle, and it is meaningful only if you dedicate your life to pursue the oracle."
