The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

"It's all trivial things that can be done with a snap of your fingers," He Qin added modestly in a timely manner, "After tonight is over, your words will become reality when the sun rises the next day. It's nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about."

Wen Zheliu held the box tightly, and turned around: "That's it, for the sake of you being able to hand it over to me so neatly in the end, I wish my uncle can keep his current position after being promoted and raising his salary... … After all, if you earn a little more money every month, you should be able to pay off your debts a little easier, right?”

He didn't want to look at their faces anymore, he pulled He Qin out of the gate quickly, and shut Wen Qian's hoarse shouting behind him.

"Hurry up!" He took a deep breath and put on the mask again, "We still have a delivery to save the world, we can't wait too long!"

"Got it," He Qin got on the motorcycle, "Then hold my waist tightly and let's go!"

In the laboratory, He Huaizhou looked at the velvet box in front of him solemnly. Only he, Adeide and He Qinwen Zheliu were allowed to enter the huge space.He said softly, "Zheliu, please open it."

Wen Zheliu pressed his heart that was beating wildly because of nervousness, pressed his fingers on it, and tentatively asked in a low voice: "Open...open?"

His fingers tingled slightly, as if he had been electrified by something, and the surroundings were silent for three seconds, and the small box that seemed to only hold a ring or pendant burst open suddenly.

...that's right, it's cracked.It was completely different from Liu Jianzhang's reaction when he opened it. The sharp silvery white was revealed under the cracked lid, as if the blade had finally shed its harmless disguise.A lively and laughing voice flowed out:

"Authentication has been completed."

Another male voice followed closely:

"You are welcome, son."

Wen Zheliu's breathing was stagnant, he was stunned.

The change of the container has not stopped yet, the soft velvet case has been cracked like cicadas, the silver alloy is decomposed and reconstructed in an orderly manner, flowing out smoothly and symmetrically, just like the birth of a star, the light waves are rippling and shining, holding the The creation in the shape of a white crane rises upwards.

"Happy birthday!"

"You have finally grown up, you are an adult!"

The light of the rebirth of the entire universe could not be more gentle than this moment, Wen Zheliu's hair on the temples was fluttering upwards in the light, and He Huaizhou's expression was both sad and nostalgic.

He Qin just looked at Wen Zheliu intently, his lips moved slightly.

Wen Zheliu's voice trembled: "Dad...Mom..."

"My birthday present, we really thought about it for a long time, should I leave this to you..."

"After all, this is really... too heavy a gift."

Wen Shu's and Liu Huaimeng's voices were high and low, like the hazy twilight covering the earth, Wen Zheliu almost greedily listened to the last few words they left for him, Liu Huaimeng's tone was so gentle, as if he was whispering to an infant baby Whispering: "I'm sorry, it's my birthday, but I have to let you hear these things."

"Liu Liu won't blame Mom and Dad, right? Well, to be honest... Saving the world is really not a good job, but someone has to do it, just like the number three in the office may not like to eat garbage every day, but the mission of the trash can is this , it doesn't want to, and it can't do anything... Oops!"

"Crazy you, talk to your son about this, you are a trash can and your whole family is a trash can, get out!"

"My whole family is your whole family, and our whole family is one family...Okay, I'll get out right away!"

Wen Zheliu couldn't laugh at such a cheerful conversation, tears dripped down his cheeks.How could it be strange?I have been separated from you for 11 years...

"Come back to business, son." Liu Huaimeng's voice became serious, "I don't know if you know the inside story about the Eucharist project, but whether you know it or not, people from N-star should have been recruited by now—until you, Until you can open it, this thing we leave you will continue to emit shielding signals to hide your identity with the highest key. Because it is of great importance, we only hope that you have an undisturbed and safe childhood."

"You opened it, which means that the restrictions are lifted at the same time." Wen Shu's voice cut in, "But don't worry, son, just go with them. If there is a man named He Qin among the people who come to you, then It's even better, remember to call me brother."

He Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"The Holy Eucharist plan has been planned for a long time, and our decision is also a last resort," Liu Huaimeng continued, "Once the plan is put into use, it will definitely be the beginning of human extinction. Abandon the body, common sense and nature, and thousands of people. The iron law of evolution for thousands of years... has there ever been a race that is willing to expose itself to the storm and flood that will destroy the world?"

"Eternal life is a flashy lie, son," Wen Shu's voice became serious at the same time, "it covers up the truth that people cannot bear. The core of the Holy Eucharist plan is the liberation of the mind, and the decay of the body is to seek detachment Eternal life of reincarnation—However, if human beings abandon their bodies without any precautions and rely on their souls to wander in a virtual world that will never reach the boundary, it is tantamount to pushing a fragile river lantern into a stormy sky. In the middle of the sea, sinking is just a blink of an eye. We must stop it, stop them, son."

"Now, it is the evening when the Eucharist plan has reached 95.68% completion, and the sunset is beautiful..."

"...forgive us."

Wen Zheliu shed tears, and saw the brilliance of the stars begin to shrink, and every streak of the crane's feathers was filled with the splendor of life.

"This is... the most important legacy we leave to you."

"Just as the core of N-star is the Nova City, the only item in the world that reaches SSSS level, which determines the starting point of everything, and the R&D base of N-star also has its core."

He Huaizhou and Adeide listened in silence.

"——Its name is [Eternal Time City]."

"Going back in time, back to before the error occurred, the function of Time City is here. We divided it into twenty fragments, here are ten fragments, if nothing else happens, you can get the first fragment on your 15th birthday."

"The remaining nine pieces will be taken away by us. The last nine fragments will become attached viruses and invade the central data link of the Eucharist plan. Even though we have made up our minds to erase the Eucharist plan from the real world, But the possibility of its resurgence in the virtual world cannot be ruled out."

"The one you are holding is like a kindling, son. If everything is safe, it may not find a way to activate it in this life. Conversely, if it senses the remaining nine fragments—that is, it has sensed The comeback Eucharist plan, the nine fragments will gather towards you, [Eternal Time City] will be resurrected in your hands again, wait to return to the moment when the error occurred, and then follow your instructions... to eliminate the error."

Wen Zheliu was startled: "...what?"

"Good luck, son! Although saving the world sounds cool, my mother and I still hope that you can be an ordinary and happy person and live an ordinary and happy life."

There were faint urging voices in the background. Some people smiled and said that they are going to leave soon. Some people smiled and said that they should save the extra words and talk about them when they come back. If they are lucky, they might be able to catch up with breakfast... as if they were carrying Not a thunderstorm decoration enough to destroy a city, but a picnic basket full, and the place they are going is not an enemy stronghold, but a sunny spring.

"Okay! Time has lingered long enough, so be it... so be it! Goodbye, son!"

All the voices were quiet, only those ten chips were shining brightly, Wen Zheliu couldn't even find a way to keep their traces.

"...The holy nun is a relic of the Eucharist plan?" He asked softly, "Is that so?"

Adeide was silent for a while, then whispered: "Yes."

"At the beginning of the research and development of Uncanny Valley, the remnants of Muspelheim were mixed among the research and development personnel," said He Huaizhou, who avoided the name of He Rui. , This is something that no one thought of, and it was too late when it was discovered..."

Wen Zheliu didn't speak, He Qin gently held his hand, which seemed to give him a new kind of courage, he wiped away the tears on his face indiscriminately, "It doesn't matter, let's go now! After returning to the uncanny valley , I can get the eternal city of time, back to the moment when everything happened, back to the moment before everything started. Saving the world is not fun, but someone has to do it.”

"Open the passage to Uncanny Valley and City of Nova." He Qin said, "Success or failure depends on this game. Of course, a bigger gambling table is needed."

Adeide took a deep look at them, he took off the brooch that had been pinned all the time, He Huaizhou took off his glasses, and with a little force on his thumb, he pushed out the crystal lens of his left eye.

"First Executive," Adeide said.

"And the key to the authority of the second executive officer is here." He Huaizhou said, "With your identity plate, it is enough to unlock the city of Nova's blockade of Uncanny Valley, without the consent of the entire House of Lords."

"Go." Adeide said, "Take the last ten fragments, N-star and the future of the world are on you, don't feel heavy."

"Ah," He Qin took the two things, "Isn't this light and flimsy, lighter than the old vest that the old man was drying on the balcony."

"...That's not such an easy way! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Du Zijun leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest. Xie Yuanyuan looked at him from the changing blue light and whispered, "They just left..."

Du Zijun didn't open his eyes, but just snorted: "Why, do you want to see him off?"

"No! What I mean is..." Xie Yuanyuan frowned a little worriedly, "My heart is in a state of ups and downs, and I always feel that... Brother He is gone, and there is something I can't hold back."

His intuition has always been accurate, Du Zijun frowned: "There is something that cannot be suppressed..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a heavy crash on the horizon, as if the earth was cracking. Du Zijun suddenly opened his eyes, and flew to the French window, only to see that the portal, which had been tightly closed, opened at this moment!

A monstrous blue light shines through the door, and the gap that runs through the world slowly widens, as if a god has opened its eyeballs, and all the players are cheering, "You can go home!" The news spread instantly to every corner of the transfer station.

"What?!" Xie Yuanyuan's eyes widened, "Yes...is the road to Nova City opened, so fast!"

The crack in the door was still widening, Du Zijun frowned and stared at it, he opened his mouth: "...that's not right."

"Ugh?"

"No!" He roared, looking at the uncontrollable crowd rushing towards the portal, "Fucking idiots, that's not the way home, that's the way to die! Come back!"

Humans are creatures of the herd. Once the momentum of charging is initiated, there is no possibility of stopping. The sudden opening of the door also caught the backbone of many large groups by surprise. They only had time to appease the members of the group, and at the same time vented The flow of people going out has become a sharp triangle.

"Close the gate of the transfer station!" Li Rong yelled, "Don't let anyone out anymore! The advance team will stop the players who rush out!"

The command center was in chaos, glaciers piled up one after another on the plain, and mountains and rocks emerged one after another, blocking the flow of people running fast. In this way, the forward speed was indeed much slower, but the forward players were still rolling forward by virtue of inertia. When it arrived at the portal, the blue light suddenly gushed out with the momentum of devouring the world, flooding towards the transfer station like a tsunami!

"Sister!" Xie Yuanyuan shouted.

The Scarborough Fair was ready to go, and Du Zijun suddenly heard a deep laughter amidst the earth-shattering bang.

"Human... Hello."

Xie Yuanyuan said in horror: "This voice is so familiar! I seem to have heard it somewhere!"

"You may have heard of my name and our name, but you always have no chance to see it," the man continued to speak, the player's vision was completely deprived in the monstrous sea of ​​light, and he couldn't see anything. Acting on intuition, "But it doesn't matter, the gears of the world are still turning to this moment... Who can comprehend the true meaning of Ragnarok?"

Du Zijun's voice was hoarse: "...He Rui."

Xie Yuanyuan turned pale with shock: "What? He's not dead?!"

"My time has come!" He Rui's laughter pierced through the world. This laughter is indulgent and full of malice, with ecstasy and ecstasy. It is almost not like the sound that a human can make, but more like the howl of a dragon." Some people—they live after death!"

Du Zijun's expression was extremely ugly, and he had already guessed what he meant.

"No wonder you keep sending people over to die." His understanding of the inner world is not as deep as that of He Qin, but he can also know all kinds of things. "In the end, it is to make a comeback from the outer world at the last moment." ..."

"What should we do now?!" Xie Yuanyuan was a little panicked, "Brother He is not here, he is the only one who can fight against this man, right? The game hasn't started yet. We lost two generals on our side. What's the matter?" Hit?"

What a coincidence, all of this is full of deliberate coincidences. Just as He Qin left with Wen Zheliu, He Rui, as if he had learned about it in advance, immediately revived from the ashes of the other world and launched an attack on the players who stayed here... ...Du Zijun looked cold and serious, his eyes were tightly closed, and the witch's double guns were burning with an inexhaustible magic circle.

"Twilight of the Gods..." he hissed, "He wants to play an all-destroying ending, and the target is all players, and now, no one can stop him."
