Time-Limited Hunt

"Your speech is terrible," the system lowered the nozzle in the car, "Let Mr. Yan sleep first."

Yan Junxun smelled a strange smell while the escort vehicle was moving fast, and then became unconscious.His gaze missed Shi Shanyan's face, and he saw the street scene flashing past outside the car window. The rain curtain was like a cloak covering the city, making everything look gray.

"Fu Yun's car is about to catch up..."

Yan Junxun didn't hear the second half of the system's words, so he closed his eyes and fell into a coma.

The system said: "This thing works quite quickly."

Shi Shanyan picked up Yan Junxun and asked, "Can you remind him?"

"I'm afraid not," Jue switched back to his own voice, and replied while driving, "I can't do anything, it's up to you. You are so familiar, he must have a deja vu feeling towards you."

Shi Shanyan didn't want the feeling of deja vu, he wanted to systematically return all of Yan Junxun's memories.He turned on the screen behind the armchair and saw the time display on it.

"Mr. Yan bumped into Chen Xiulian today. According to my speculation, he will soon find out that Chen Xiulian is the murderer of the case. But I am worried that if he realizes that all this is our arrangement, it will make him start to doubt you and me. Authenticity." Jue pondered more and more questions, "I think for a lover, losing trust is more terrible than losing life, maybe we should consider confessing to him."

"The time will restart on August 8th." The date displayed on the screen in front of Shi Shanyan was "July 8nd", he said, "Today is already the 7nd, and I came later than last time."

In the last time-limited hunting, the number 01AE86 arrived at the mooring area in mid-June, but this time the time was pushed back by half a month.

"Yes," Jue's answer proved this point, "I browsed Artemis' data repository on 'time-limited hunting', compared the start time of each 'time-limited hunting', and found that it is indeed shortening .”

This means two possibilities. One is that the light track system headed by Ares has researched a way to shorten the "time-limited hunting" time. They control the activity time of Yan Junxun and Shi Shanyan to 1 to 2 Within a month, speed up the pace of the task of recovering chips; second, Yan Junxun's body has been excessively consumed and is no longer in a healthy state, unable to support the long-term "hunting" experience.

"I think," Jue carefully observed Shi Shanyan from the camera, and said cautiously, "I think we will find a solution. Do you remember when you first came here?"

Shi Shanyan turned off the electronic timer in the car, and some familiar images were scrolling on the screen."The first time was November 11," he said.

When Shi Shanyan arrived at the parking area several times before, it was winter, and there was a snow scene outside the car window.The escort team led by Fu Yun always encountered various difficulties in the berthing area, but no matter how the details changed, the end of the first day was that Yan Junxun came to pick him up.This day can be seen as the epitome of "time-limited hunting".No matter what happened to Yan Junxun and Shi Shanyan before August 8, the final outcome will always be Yan Junxun's death.

When Yan Junxun dies, the "time-limited hunting" will restart, and everything will start from scratch in the limited area of ​​​​the "parking area".

The escort vehicle driven by Jue was unimpeded on the road, and it made a sniffling sound: "Great, I was worried that the recovered memory would affect your judgment, but now it seems that you are fine! I really—"

It couldn't help it, and started sobbing.

"I'm really happy! The time is so tight, we have a lot to do, but no matter what we do, everyone is still alive."

Even Shi Shanyan had to praise it at this moment: "This is all due to you, you are very smart."

The graffiti in the refuge pipe made Shi Shanyan suspicious of the berthing area, but things happened too fast at that time. The moment Yan Junxun died, the "berthing area" died with him.Shi Shanyan's memory was about to be reset to zero, and it was Jue who stole Shi Shanyan's memory from Artemis' "time-limited hunting" data repository.

"But why is my authority so high?" Jue's voice recovered, and it said in bewilderment, "Obviously, the last setting for me was 'Second Generation Experimental Product in District 14', and the character was Ares' 'daughter'. According to our speculation, I'm just a person," it searched the chat records between itself and Pu Lin, and described itself more vividly, "I'm just an insignificant passer-by in this story."

"You are very important." Shi Shanyan saw Liu Chen on the screen, a cutting-edge media person was being interviewed, and the content revolved around Liu Xincheng in Chen Xiulian's case.

Rain marks covered the car windows, blurring the outside scene like a projection.

"Is Liu Chen real?" Jue said, "I'm sorry, I know I'm not smart to ask this, but I also have too much confusion. Is Liu Chen real? I mean, he is in the real world Have Jiang Lian, Pu Lin, and Chen Xiulian and Lin Popo ever existed in this game? Are they NPCs set up by Artemis based on 'time-limited hunting', or have they all existed before?"

Shi Shanyan stared at Liu Chen without any smile, and said, "These people were true until they died."

"I saw from you that the world has been destroyed by war. The alliance is a desolate wilderness, and the only remaining human beings live in caves. In the real world, there is no good food, no books to read, no..." Jue's emotions Started down, "Nothing."

"There are still a few comics," Shi Shanyan turned his head and said to the camera, "it's under my head."

"Is this the new world that the light track system will build?"

"That's not it, that's the new world where human beings have collapsed. Before Fu Chenghui activated the weapons of war, Hephaestus had warned the post-war world, but no one believed it. After the world ended in 2162, the system tried A harmonious new world will be built on the ruins, and they will control the sovereignty by themselves, and domesticate humans as animals to ensure world peace."

Shi Shanyan's eyes returned to Yan Junxun.Yan Junxun was in a coma, and his hands locked by the restraints were pressed on Shi Shanyan's chest, and the temperature was transmitted through the fabric, which made Shi Shanyan's tight part relax a little.

"The systems are all staying at the original site of the light track area, where many experiments are based. Ares divided the remaining human beings after the war into two parts according to his own crime theory, and the 'criminal' part stayed in the light track area The bottom space can be executed at any time when resources are tight, and the "non-criminal" part is collected into the "breeding farm" and is responsible for giving birth. However, as the environment deteriorates and the fertility rate decreases, the system begins to insist on the breeding system of one male and multiple females .”

In the systematic planning, health is harmless, and males and females with reproductive ability are disposable resources.They know one thing very well, a new world is built on children, and adults are just dirty creatures educated in the old world.Human beings have bad roots, and the system expects to correct this defect from scratch.

All children live in the 'New World'. The system is not only responsible for teaching their studies, but also taking care of their lives. They are the simple extension of "Yan Junxun" in the Artemis experiment. No reading required.

Thinking abandons humans.This kind of reincarnation is far more terrifying than "time-limited hunting". Its end point is domestication, and human beings will eventually become another kind of creature, no longer a "human being".The world process will also have nothing to do with human beings, and civilization is created by the system.

"It's crazy," Jue murmured, "I hope everyone gets along in harmony...I..." It slowed down, "I can be a lifetime partner with Park Lin."

Shi Shanyan thought of Park Rin's last line in the shelter, and said, "If he lived, you wouldn't have a 'life'. Are you happy with the truth?"

Jue can "live" for a long time, as long as it is repaired, it can survive, but Pu Lin can't. Before learning the truth, he is a human being in Jue's eyes.If they form a family, they will never be able to touch each other for a lifetime.

"I'm usually happy with a lot of truths, but this time I'm sad. I hope the words I use don't make you uncomfortable, I'm really sad. I get lost sometimes, don't laugh at me, I can't tell I don’t understand the true and false of human beings, and I don’t understand human love, but if, I mean if, if I can continue to partner with Park Lin, this will be ‘happiness’ to me. I used to think this way, in During a holiday, find a sunny day, ask Park Lin to drink a glass of wine, and ask Park Lin for advice. If he wants, we can form a family. I will store the 'love' made of data in my own repository, and store it there It's called 'heart'. If Park Lin dies one day, my 'heart' will die too. I don't have a human body to touch Park Lin, but my mind can; I don't have a human body to accompany Park Lin, but My death can."

"What if he rejects you?"

"Oh... isn't this just a broken relationship?" Jue said, "I will partner with others and continue to work. Well, whether this relationship is fruitful or not, I have to work."

Shi Shanyan tightened his arms, and Yan Junxun in his arms was tied up, frowning slightly.He said, "Won't you erase him from your memory? Once and for all."

"I won't," Jue paused for a moment, "I never will. You won't either, you are reluctant to delete Mr. Yan's death scene, I know those memories are painful. You have been emotionally unstable this time, but Why did you say 'kill you' to Mr. Yan?"

It imitated "Kill You" vividly.

"I think he's going to be mad."

"I'm telling the truth," Shi Shan Yanping looked at the camera, with an emotion close to madness in his eyes, "Yan Junxun must stay by my side."

The air conditioner in the car was fully turned on, so that Yan Junxun could feel the coolness even when he was drowsy.Shi Shanyan lowered his head, sniffing the smell of the smoke.

"Yan Junxun has to stay by my side every minute, every second, including death."
