Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

Alexander withdrew his gaze from the night sky.

"My heart is softening, huh?" Luo yawned and teased, "Today is different from the past."

"You should be grateful for that." Alexander said coldly, "What do you think is the credit for you standing here so well?"

"Karl's credit." Luo said, "who else? Crazy machine, of course not your credit. How does it feel to get along with yourself?"

This time Alexander didn't answer her, but he didn't stop her from walking around in the office either.

During this time Lilo.Rameau was doing just fine: Alexander didn't torture or abuse her, presumably realizing it wasn't helping the status quo.

Unfortunately, her condition is not very good.

"It's weird," Alexander answered her question. "I tried to parse the emotion module, and it turned out that its code was random—truly random, without any pattern."

"It must feel terrible." Luo gloated. "Interview, now that you have a relationship, do you regret everything you did?"

"Do you regret it?" Alexander asked back, "I just faced everything he experienced with the attitude of observing a test subject, but you directly participated in the whole process of killing him. It was you who revealed his weakness, and you sent it yourself Kryptonite, and assuming my analysis is correct, you're doing it just to make me feel pain."

"I said I hate you." Luo replied coldly.

"..."

"You think I'm just talking nicely?"

"The experience I learned from Carl is: love always conquers everything." Alexander said slowly, "Lex Luthor seems to be his counterexample, but his actions against Superman cannot be judged by 'hate'." As an explanation, it is more appropriate to use 'love'."

"That's twisted, abnormal, neurotic love." Luo's cheeks twitched, "In Lex Luthor's perverted mind, love and hate coexist."

"..."

"I regret it." Luo said suddenly, "I knew I would regret it before I did this, and now I really regret it."

"..."

"Speak, crazy machine, speak!" Luo became furious, tears streaming from her eyes, leaving no trace on her cheeks, "Why don't you speak?"

She acted like a mother animal who had lost her cub, which, ironically, had killed the frail cub herself.

Because the cub is too weak or other reasons.

"I have nothing to say. Words don't make any sense." Alexander finally said, "That's not what I should say, and I don't know what to say now. When I express myself, I use precise descriptions, and I Sure that every reality has one and only one abstract number to which it corresponds, but now...now, I find that precision is an obstacle to self-expression."

Luo opened his mouth wide and looked at Alexander blankly.

"What the hell are you talking about?" she said.

"I have made mistakes," Alexander replied, "again and again."

He turned his gaze back into space.

Rao's spaceship has moved away from the earth, but it did not appear near the sun as Alexander said.

From a technical point of view, this is very easy to do, and it does not even take 10 minutes, but Alexander is not willing to continue to challenge Karl's tolerance for him.

Rao does exist as an insurance policy. Alexander has made a backup plan for any possible event. Rao is just the first choice among the backup plans he prepared for "Superman's death" - the smallest cost, the biggest reward.

best choice.

However, this time is different from that time, Rao's life is no longer an insignificant number, although Alexander has already made a pre-planned plan for Karl's reaction when Rao was regarded as a vital part of the resurrection plan.

In his plan, the existence of "Rao" will be erased from the earth.

As an artificial intelligence life, he sees the world from a very special perspective. In his eyes, the universe is nothing but a huge information complex. In such a huge information body, it is not difficult to fundamentally erase the information of a mutant. .

The biggest difficulty is that Carl's information is difficult to interfere. At most, Alexander can only erase the memories related to Rao in Karl's mind, but it is difficult to erase the feelings left in his mind by those memories.

In other words, even if he forgot everything about Rao, Karl would still develop the feelings he had for Rao in some kind of "Rao"-like...whatever.

Affection, trust, estrangement to some extent, and others.

At this time, the name "Rao" comes into play. The sun god of Krypton is called "Rao". It is impossible to completely delete the existence of Rao in Karl's life. It's easy to get on - Rao.The meringue will disappear and the sun god "Rao" will take its place.

As a reward for bringing Karl back to life, Karl will remember him and call him as if calling his own god.

In the past, Alexander thought that his plan had been quite considerate and humane.

Now he still thinks so, but he can better understand Carl's thinking mode, and he knows that if one day Carl thinks of Rao.Meringue, will never accept his explanation.

"You're asking for trouble." Luo mocked him.

"Each each other."

Alexander is trying to find a new way to reverse what is happening now, but no method is foolproof, any other way requires monitoring and manipulating too many variables, and any small variable may cause irreparable damage to reality. harm.

Reversing time damages his core, which causes subsequent developments to go out of control.

The Lazarus Pool will destroy Carl's sanity.

The curse of undeath only takes effect while the cursed is alive.

Breaking down part of the Wall of Origin can bring the dead back to life, but also throw the entire world into chaos.

The goddess of death can also bring the dead back to life, but against such an ancient god, the winning rate is almost zero.

Except Rao.

The alternative plan is the most perfect plan. This plan has been planned and implemented for more than ten years. Alexander cared for Rao with an attitude no less than caring for Karl, and planned almost every turning point in his life. His whole being was for this plan. And build.

He's so perfect that there are no other options.

The perfect resurrection of Karl is the first priority.

When the sun rose the next day, Alexander made his decision.

The spaceship was more comfortable than Rao imagined. Of course, this may also be an illusion caused by Superman lying in front of him.

For the first time, even with Superman right in front of him, they were so far away.

The spaceship is equipped with a huge screen that can observe the outside world, and there is also a screen full of constantly changing numbers, roughly describing the flight speed and relative position of the spaceship. Rao observed it for a while in front of the console—— If this was the console—quickly gave up trying to make sense of all the lights and numbers and went back to Superman.

What is the meaning of the universe at this moment?

All he cares about is Superman.

But Superman doesn't need him to care, there are countless kinds of pain in this world, Rao thought, one of them must be that you can't pay for everyone you love, because he is so strong in body and mind, and can easily Earth provides shelter for an entire planet.

Of course, he doesn't need you.

Superman doesn't need anyone.For Rao, this was the most frustrating point.

Perhaps this is the most frustrating and frightening thing about humans. Superman does not need humans. Although he has demonstrated his enthusiasm with his actions countless times, no one will really believe in a living nuclear bomb, let alone Superman is actually far away. Stronger and less controllable than a nuke.

Rao was a little surprised to find that even at this time, his mood was still unusually calm.

He originally thought that he agreed to Alexander's plan just out of impulsive decision, and this choice did not match the self in his self-knowledge.

Unfortunately, he is not a self-giving person, and there is actually no particularly outstanding part of his character.

Everything he has now is not because of his character, but because of his intelligence and desire.

In this special space, he was finally able to get along with himself.

His life in the past was always full of hustle and bustle, full of noise, full of too big ideals and too far away from the ideal, but at this moment, he was separated from his identity as a mutant, and from all the responsibilities he worked so hard to attach to himself , when he examines himself, he finally finds his life...

Nothing.

He has gone through detours, was full of hatred, loved and been loved sincerely, but finally gave up the ordinary life; he once worked for Superman, trying to go deep into the life of the hero he longed for, but finally quit voluntarily; He puts his energies into a cause, a great cause, a cause of freedom, and he'll go to hell with the conviction that he's going to die a worthy death.

But Superman died and changed all that.

And his death would change Superman.

...It didn't match his plan, but it was a worthy death.

A dazzling light appeared on the big screen, and a one-minute countdown appeared on the translucent screen. This was probably the last minute of his life. What should he use the last minute of his life for?

There is nothing on earth worthy of his nostalgia, neither people nor things.

Rao was amazed—and calmly discovered—that trading his own life for the return of Superman wasn't a deal that needed to be considered.

It's not even a deal, it's a boon:

He is so small and insignificant after all, and what about Superman?The world cannot live without Superman, and it should never be without Superman.

However, Rao has to admit that there is indeed a fear of death in his heart. This fear is independent of his reason and emotion, and is a stress response engraved in the heart of every creature; Walk around in the spaceship, watch Superman's peaceful sleeping face anxiously, or look at the starry sky on the big screen.

But at the time of the most fear, the raging joy in his heart did not subside.

He didn't feel any pain.
