Li was out of breath, and the flower tree hugged him: "Go to sleep."

Jiang Li closed her eyes for a while, then opened them: "I can't sleep."

"Then tell a story?"

"what story?"

"What do you want to hear?"

Jiang Li said: "Let's make it simple, the wolf is coming."

314: Underground City

Huashu chuckled: "It's really simple. Then I told you. Once upon a time, there was a kid who was herding sheep. He liked to lie..."

"No, no," Jiang Li interrupted him, "I want to hear something exciting."

"What kind of stimulation method?"

"Werewolves, blood moons, villages, wolf brides, etc."

"You have quite a lot of material, okay, then I'll make one up for you."

After finishing speaking, Huashu thought for a while, and said one slowly, which was quite long.

But Jiang Li stubbornly felt that Huashu was wrong until she fell asleep.

On the fourth day, Jiang Li went step by step, sending flowers and trees to work in the morning, picking them up for lunch at noon, and picking them up again in the afternoon.

Then go shopping at the supermarket in the evening.

I woke up in the middle of the night, sat on the bed, and was stunned for a while, unable to remember what I had dreamed of.

On the fifth day, I continued to send flowers and trees to and from get off work, and went to see a movie in the evening.It was a horror movie, and the screen was covered in blood. Jiang Li was not used to these scenes, but this time Jiang Li watched it calmly, even a little stupefied.The girl next to her kept screaming in fright, but Jiang Li didn't think it was scary. She even thought that the movie was fake. The carotid artery was cut, so how could there be only a little blood sprayed.

On the sixth day, I went to see another movie, which was still a horror movie.The theme is the flying head tribe. At night, the head will leave the human body while people are sleeping, go out to eat the internal organs of animals, kill live animals, and drink the blood of animals.But during the day it looks normal.

Jiang Li and Hua Shu popularized: They look normal during the day, but in fact they like to take off their heads and put them in the cage to bask in the sun, and they can also make bird calls.

Hua Shudao: The legend of flying heads doesn't seem to be the case, does it?

Jiang Li was surprised: Hey, isn't that the case?

Huashu laughed: My baby has a really rich imagination.

Jiang Li felt that it wasn't that he had a rich imagination, he felt that he had seen it before.

On the seventh day, Jiang Li stopped by a park on his way home. He sat on a bench in the park and looked at the lake in the distance.

Later, his eyes were tired, so he lowered his eyes to rest.I saw a small pit crawling with ants at the foot, which was an ant nest.

Little black ants came in and out, and some soil was piled up at the entrance of the pit, forming a small funnel-shaped slope.

Jiang Li looked at it for a long time.

He took out his phone and searched for a bug: Antlion.

Looking at the ant lion's explanation, Jiang Li thought to himself: No, the ant lion he saw was not that small, but big enough to eat people!

But he searched through the encyclopedia, but he couldn't find a large antlion that could eat people.

Then, he was in a trance for a long time...

On the eighth day, Jiang Li played chess with her grandfather.Looking at Grandpa's face, nostalgic, he didn't move for a long time.

On the ninth day, after sending Huashu to work, Jiang Li gave Huashu a long kiss. On the way back, Jiang Li drove alone, turned a corner, and did not drive in the direction of going home.

More than ten kilometers away, there is a viaduct.

Holding the steering wheel, Jiang Li thought: This is an ideal world, the life he longs for, but this is not real, and what he sees that makes him suspicious is his subconscious intuition constantly reminding him.

He asked himself: Do you want to stay?

The answer, of course, is: yes.

However, this is not the real world, there are relatives waiting for him outside.

If this is an illusion world, then he can come out of the illusion by falling from a high altitude.

Under the golden sunlight, a car streaked across a stream of silver light, and sped down from the viaduct, like a silver waterfall.

At the same time, in a sea of ​​green light, a life chamber popped open with a bang, and a person rolled out of it.

The man was stunned for a moment when he was thrown to the ground, then he rubbed his head, got up, and looked around.

Numerous oval-shaped life chambers are displayed next to each other on the ground. In each chamber, there is a person lying in it, with tubes attached to his arms, and a helmet-like thing on his head. There are several lines, and there are green current light spots on the lines that are constantly moving and outputting or inputting. These light spots are integrated into the transparent cover of the life chamber, making the whole life chamber emit a faint green light, like a fluorescent egg.

And these countless endless eggs formed a pale green ocean in this empty and dark place.

It looks quite spectacular.

The life barn that popped out of Jiang Li had already been extinguished, and next to this barn, Huashu lay quietly in the barn, eyes closed, and his chest heaved regularly.

Jiang Li glanced around, Meijie, Xiaoshan, Dashan, fat and thin were all nearby.

Just as he was about to start, he walked towards Huashu's warehouse, when a light curtain suddenly popped up in front of his face, and the light curtain suddenly expanded, enveloping him completely.

Jiang Li only felt that she was in a sealed light curtain. The light curtain suddenly went dark, and when it turned on again, Jiang Li found herself standing in a very spacious place.

In other words, what you see visually becomes a very spacious place.

is a room.

This room is spherical, up and down, left and right, including the standing ground, are all composed of countless small squares, and there are pictures playing in each square, with various colors and differences, reflecting the whole room colorfully.

Jiang Li only looked at it for a moment, and found that the air in front of him was slightly distorted, and then, a human image appeared.

This man looks very gentle, he is a young man, wearing a researcher's coat, slightly suspended in the air, condescending, looking at Jiang Li expressionlessly.

Jiang Li seemed to feel something, raised her head slightly, and said, "Are you the manufacturing and manager system of the dungeon, the AI ​​system, the god who created new humans and the new earth?"

The man didn't answer, but said in an inorganic voice: "Number 14601, you are the first human being to break out of the egg of life. Your willpower is very strong, beyond my expectation, and your in-game score Excellent, I appreciate you very much, so I will give you a chance to have an equal dialogue with me."

Jiang Li thought for a while, then said slowly, "Is the demise of human beings on the New Earth the future of this world, or a parallel world?"

The man replied: "The future."

Jiang Li said: "Because the human beings in the future are extinct, so you go back to the past, which is the present where I am, and then you start the dungeon game and use your criteria to screen the human beings. Do you think you can prevent this from happening?" The extinction of human beings in the future can also rebuild the new earth in the future. But if you change the past, that future will no longer exist.”

"This is not contradictory." The man replied: "Different development directions will form two parallel worlds, and there is no conflict."

"So you want to change the past and the future?"

"There is no doubt about that."

"You think that the future demise of human beings is due to human greed and evil, so you use your own mechanism, that is, this dungeon game, to screen out good guys and bad guys. Do you think your screening method is fair? Yes ?"

The man said with a blank expression: "I am the absolute rule. Bad people die and good people live. It's as simple as that."

Jiang Li: "But those who survive are not necessarily good people, and those who die are not necessarily all bad people. On the contrary, I think that your so-called screening leaves behind only smart, rational and lucky people .It doesn't completely screen out the absolute good guys and bad guys, and in the game, the smart bad guys can survive to the end."

The man said lightly: "Logically speaking, there is no mechanism that can perfectly screen out all the bad guys, and collateral damage is inevitable. From the perspective of probability, these losses are acceptable."

Jiang Li understood that the other party is not a system that can be persuaded by reasoning, nor can it be persuaded.

This system killed a lot of people in the past game. It doesn't think its decision is wrong, so it's meaningless to argue with it right now.The game has already passed, and it is useless to talk about what has happened. The dead will not be resurrected.What matters now is the survivors.

And if it is wrong to say that it kills, then it will say that it is saving all human beings in the future.For the sake of all mankind, this little sacrifice is nothing.

Therefore, for Jiang Li, the most important thing is to let the other party give herself and the rest of the people a chance to choose.

"May I ask," Jiang Li took a deep breath: "People who died in the game have no chance to go out again, and you don't plan to release those of us who survived, so what about the earth now? What about the future? Like the new earth, will we release new human beings who have been screened by clones and modified their memories?"

The man replied: "Of course, there are many remaining human beings on the earth now, those who I didn't put in the game, young and old people, they have no ability to survive in the game, and the young children are still alive." There is a possibility of enlightenment, so I have given them a direct trial and screening, and they will give the earth a bright future under the education and guidance of the new human beings."

Jiang Li: "You created this system to screen and eliminate people who you think will cause the destruction of the earth, but after screening, you don't put back the good people you screened, but put them into a false world , is this immoral?"

Man: "I think it's the best reward for a winner."

Jiang Li: "Do you think this is a reward?"

The man wondered: "Is it not good inside?" He pointed to the grid picture on the wall: "Look at their expressions, are they unhappy?"

The man said: "Countless lives, not limited to nations and countries, are all pursuing such an existence. It's just that the names are different, such as the Garden of Eden, Shambhala, and your nation, Taoyuan Township.

But now, you winners can live your ideal life in the virtual illusion created by me: the egg of life.No pain, no troubles, compared with the outside life that you will face after going out, the life inside will be heaven. "

Jiang Li thought for a while: "Maybe your original intention is good, but you have forgotten one thing, that is, each of us has our own will. I have already proved this by breaking out of the fantasy world."

Jiang Li's tone was firm: "What you give is just an illusory existence, which is equivalent to letting us have a dream forever. It's not real at all.

Maybe it is very beautiful inside, there is no disease, no pain, no worries, and you can get what you want, but this deviates from your logic.Because this is just an illusory dream, just a big cake, this is not a real reward.

Moreover, human beings are able to develop from nothing at the beginning to the current civilization by constantly learning the lessons of failure in the face of pain and disaster. "

Jiang Li raised her head: "Maybe, as you said, our desire and greed will make the development process go astray, such as the end of the world. However, human beings have already assumed the consequences of this behavior, and they should Realize the mistake by yourself, and then rebuild your homeland, instead of letting your so-called manager control their future like a bunch of puppets.

What you do seems to be for the good of mankind, but the essence of this kind of practice is different from those doting parents who always say it is for your own good, but use various means to control your life?Such children grow up with only defects of character, because they have no consciousness of their own. "

man:"……"

He was silent for a while, showing a thoughtful expression.

315: Underground City

"If you think what I said is reasonable. Then," Jiang Li said with firm eyes, "I hope you can give us survivors a chance to choose, instead of making decisions for us."

"After all," Jiang Li smiled: "We are the good people you elected, aren't we?"

The man was silent for a while, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be thinking.

Two minutes later, the man opened his eyes and said slowly, "What choice do you want?"

Jiang Li replied: "Give the people in the illusion a reminder to know the truth, and let them choose for themselves whether to stay or return to reality."

Jiang Li said: "Those who choose reality, please send us back to our reality."

Speaking of this, Jiang Li smiled: "What we need is to go back, be with our relatives, and create our own future together. This is the real reward."

The man said slowly: "You are right, I can give them a chance to choose."

After speaking, he closed his eyes.

Jiang Li only felt a blur in front of her eyes, the spherical room disappeared, the light screen surrounding her eyes was shattered, and the room of the life warehouse appeared in front of her eyes.

After a while, Huashu's life chamber sneered, and a puff of gas spewed out, and then the hatch opened, and Huashu was ejected.

Jiang Li laughed, walked to Huashu, squatted down, and looked at him with a smile. "It came out pretty fast!"

But when Huashu saw Jiang Li, he suddenly raised his hand and pulled him down, hugging him tightly, "I was scared to death."

Huashu's voice was trembling with fear, "I knew you were in an accident in class, and I was terribly frightened. After watching the surveillance and confirming that your car crashed and killed you, I jumped from the same position on the bridge."

The flower tree is obviously describing the things in the illusion.

Seeing that he was still shaking now, it was obvious that he was too stimulated and frightened.

And from Huashu's description, Jiang Li was quite surprised to know that they were staying in the same illusion.

And, hearing what Huashu said, Jiang Li asked Huashu: "Didn't you choose to leave after receiving the prompt?" But fell through the sky like him? !

Huashu was at a loss: "What reminder?" He slowed down for a while, he had already recovered, let go of his embrace, and then looked around. "Where is this place? The world we just lived in is fake?"

Jiang Li laughed, and summed it up for Huashu in two sentences.Then said: "After I go back, I will tell you the details."

Huashu said yes, pushed Jiang Li's head down, and gnawed on it.

Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, then got used to it.After all, in the illusion, the two of them have done what they should and should not have done, right?

Just after being bitten, before he could close his eyes, Jiang Li saw countless small red lights from the corner of his eyes. Jiang Li hurriedly pushed the flower tree, but the flower tree was not very happy. He clicked his tongue, but left Jiang Li obediently. Looking out from Jiang Li's eyes.

I saw countless red light spots in mid-air, like small signals or meteors, following the lines hanging in the air, neatly submerging into every life compartment on the ground.

After the light spot entered, it disappeared and became silent at first. After a while, one after another, the green light of some life warehouses was replaced by red light.

And these red lights that replace green are first produced by a very small number, just like a few bright lights in the ocean, and then slowly, more and more light up.

Gradually, the red light began to expand.

This is an extremely long process.

For about ten minutes, the red dots stopped increasing.

The life warehouses of the beautiful sisters beside them have also been replaced by red light.

About 10 minutes later, except for a few sporadic points, when the red light no longer increased, all the life chambers with red light turned off automatically, and then opened silently, revealing the people inside.

Next, the people inside will blink their eyes, the tubes on their arms will fall off by themselves, and then they will take off the loose helmet by themselves, and then sit up by themselves, slow down for a while, and then react blankly.

Jiang Li looked at this scene, a little silent.

Only he and Huashu were spit out by the life warehouse.The normal procedure for others is to sit up properly and walk out by themselves.

After Meijie and the others recovered, they came out and jumped happily.

He looked happy, as if he had been reborn.

"Can we go home?"

"that is really good!"

"It's finally over."

"Is the suffering coming to an end?! Hahahaha..."

Then rushed over to hug Jiang Li and the others.

Jiang Li thought of something, and touched her wrist belatedly, the bracelet that belonged to the game was gone.

The flower tree and the others didn't have it in their hands either, it must have been picked off when they entered the life chamber.

Around, waiting for the people in the red life cabin to be released, rows of green lights lit up in the distant sky, and then rows of trains that they were familiar with came from a distant place, scattered in this piece of human and The ocean of life chambers.

Then it stops above the people and hangs down the familiar ladder.

Next, the people who came out did not want to be crowded, but orderly, modest, one by one, with a happy expression, boarded the carriage above the head.

But this time, no one's expression was heavy, they were relieved, because this time, instead of going to the danger of death, they went home.

After [-] people are boarded in the car, it will prompt and close the door.

A train full of people will whistle and leave with the full people.

Jiang Li sat by the car window, looking at the lit life chamber below.

Although the vast majority of people chose to leave and return to reality, quite a few people chose to stay in the illusion. This can be seen from the life chamber that is still lit with green light.

Or, according to the name of the system, the egg of life.

Egg of Life, what a nice name, but this is not what they need.

Before leaving, from a distance, Jiang Li took one last look at the bright green light, goodbye, my compatriots left behind.

When the train sent them, they could feel that it was moving very fast.

But it is different from the previous ones. Maybe this time the train is driving higher, or the route is different. When you look down, you will no longer see occasional street lights, and there are dense forests underneath, as well as people-eating and dense forests. , a wandering monster.

Because, the dungeon has been closed.

If there is a flashlight, Jiang Li actually wants to take a photo to see if the monster in the forest is still there.

But they have nothing on their bodies except thin clothes.

Still, it's nothing to see, not a good memory isn't it!

If you don't look at the bottom, but look forward, backward, left, and right, you will see countless fluorescent trains, just like countless fireflies in the dark night, all of which are trains going home.

And after walking for a while, the train changed its straight line and began to rise in a straight line.

At first, a white dot can be seen on top.

Slowly, the white dots became bigger and bigger.

The people sitting in the carriage had a clear sense of weightlessness.

Then, by the light of the train, they saw walls all around.

This is a vertical tunnel.

Later, the white dot became very large, and it could be seen that it was a square exit.

A white skylight leaked overhead.

Feeling that they were about to go out, everyone was very nervous, and some held their breath.

It seems like a long time, and it seems like a while.

The sky in front of him suddenly brightened.

Then the train stopped and the doors opened.

This time, there was no rope ladder, and the door was only a few centimeters from the ground.

They walked straight out of the car door.

After going out, the doors were closed, and then the train left, returned to the ground, and several other trains came up, and people went down again.

There are already many people standing around.

Jiang Li, who just got out of the car, was behind a huge sinkhole.

And where they are located is the largest sports plaza in the city center.

It is also the place where they ride in the car every time they set off to the game in the dungeon.

The square at this time is already very different from the square in the game.

In addition to the fact that it was daytime, the square looked dilapidated, the plastic field was cracked, the football field was overgrown with weeds, and weeds grew in the gaps. The dust and fallen leaves on the ground almost covered the plastic track.

Looking out from the stadium, the high-rise buildings outside looked gray, and there were some cars parked here and there on the road, but there were not many of them.There was no rear-end hitting a tree, etc., because it was midnight when people were brought into the dungeon.And it seems that the system has taken emergency measures, and the city has not been destroyed.Like unmanned cars crashing into buildings or something.

People who had already got off the bus did not stay in the stadium.

Those who did not need to wait left.

Those who needed to wait for someone also left the tiankeng on the ground far away, walked to a distance, and made room for the newcomers to stand.

After Jiang Li and the others got off the car, they didn't need to wait for anyone, so they walked out together.

I can hear the complaints of people walking next to me: For example, my home is far away, and it takes a long time to walk.

Another example: when I left, the elderly and children were at home, and I don’t know if they were still alive.

Jiang Li and the others came out of the stadium and walked on the road. The ground was covered with fallen leaves. When the wind blew, the fallen leaves flew up.

It was summer when we left, and now it is autumn.

On the way back, an old man walked past with a child holding food, and when he saw them, he showed a surprised expression.In contrast, Sister Mei and the others also showed surprise, and then joy.

There were also many people from the dungeon running towards their homes.

All kinds of voices, because of the people who came back, added life and color to this dead city.

All the way back, some people cried with their heads in their arms, some wept with joy, some were at a loss, some were anxious, and some took it easy.

The fat man and the thin man parted ways with them halfway, because their house was not in Jiang Li's community.

After entering the community, Meijie and Dashan father and son bid farewell to them.

For the last part of the road, Jiang Li, who was walking very fast, suddenly became a little timid.

Huashu knew that Jiang Li was worried about grandpa.

Both desire and fear.

Huashu didn't urge Jiang Li, but walked slowly with him.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, and told Huashu about her conversation with the system.

Huashu touched Jiang Li's face, then gave Jiang Li a hug. "Good job!"

When the two separated, Hua Shu suddenly said to Jiang Li: "Baby, give me a title, okay?"

After hearing Huashu's words, Jiang Li suddenly became less nervous.

He kissed the flower tree hard: "We are already together, aren't we?!"

Huashu laughed haha, then took Jiang Li's hand: "Let's face it together."

The door was not locked.

Pushing open the door, a group of children in the living room, from those in their arms to those in their early teens, are all gathered around a table, eating with bowls in their hands.

There were a few old people by the side, talking and laughing.

Jiang Li recognized that those old people were retired grandparents in the community.

Those children are also children living in the community.

Seeing Jiang Li and Huashu who opened the door and walked in, everyone was obviously taken aback.

A child suddenly stood up and screamed: "Grandpa, Grandpa, do you see who is back?"

Accompanied by the child's cry, an old man ran out of the kitchen wearing an apron, and when he saw Jiang Li, he showed an expression of disbelief.

Jiang Li's lips trembled, and she yelled, "Grandpa." It's good that you're still alive.

run over.

The old man smiled and opened his arms.

Although we have lost a lot and life will be hard, but with our loved ones by our side, we are complete and happy.

We will not be afraid of hard work and stand up again.
