parasitic son

There was silence in the hall.

The twilight flickered in the floating phantom giant, as if it was perceiving and thinking.

【Walk! ] I shouted to Yan Zhen, 【Go! ! 】

At the same time, I have already activated the Trojan horse program that was secretly woven into the game in advance. Logically speaking, it will eject Yanzhen's consciousness beam out of this strange world at the moment I activate it.

But Yan Zhen stood still.

Nothing happened.

My implant should already be running, there is only one way this could happen...

"You don't think that I didn't make any preparations when I knew you were there." The Necradragon said, with a light and frivolous tone in its tone, "But it's no wonder, you are so weak now You are so weak that my subordinate self-program can easily disassemble you. Please don't waste your efforts."

[So my laboratory explosion was designed by you, right? 】I said coldly, 【That sudden singularity, I was accidentally ejected to this planet, and even this child, are all within your plan. 】

The necromancer's nihilistic face lit up, "The explosion is indeed a planned element, but some are just the result of the superposition of variables. For example, your key is actually in the consciousness shell of this human toy."

"The secret key?" Yan Zhen said, "What is it talking about?" The boy quickly realized that he was always keen, "Is it talking about your fragments?"

"Fragment? That's the key to open the think tank of the information left behind by the Forerunner." Necratron said in a hypocritical voice that was almost humble, "That's the key to the son of the ancient gods, the star watcher. It was originally It's impossible, but under the superposition of various variables, you got it by accident."

Yan Zhen widened his eyes.

"I don't know."

"The great forerunners, the ancient gods, they have an ancient order to control the information system of the think tank. The words that can be understood in your civilization are the key, which cannot be copied and is unique." It sighed, " For a long time the key has been kept in custody, with little opportunity for prying eyes. Until now, at last, the key has escaped its caretaker in a state of flux—”

【…】

"Mr. Air's accident was planned by you, it is the custodian of the key, and now the key has fallen to me." Yan Zhen understood quickly, "And you—the black box will want to take it. But , I don’t quite understand, why do you want to go around and pull me into this kind of alien game? Instead of simply killing me or something like that.” At this time, Yan Zhen had completely recovered his composure, and said When it came time to "kill me", his demeanor didn't even waver.

It replied: "First, this Mr. Air realized that after the key was out of its control, he followed you all the time and modified your cognitive structure. There is no other chance to intervene. Second, if he kills you, he will If you can get the key, your dear Mr. Air will dismantle your little thing on the first day. In the brain. Killing you will not take the key, but will make the key fall into a more uncontrollable variable state."

【Yan Zhen, this is not an inefficient roundabout, but the optimal solution in its calculation. ] I said.

"What do you mean?"

[The foreign game itself is an agreement.This world has set a set of self-consistent narrative rules, and the achievements and tasks you complete in the game are actually fulfilling the agreement with it.You can use wonderful magic in the game, accomplish things that are impossible in reality, and you can break through all the way, essentially accepting the rules and signing an agreement.This is essentially a contradiction. The more you understand the rules of the game, the more you seem to be able to control the game and successfully reach the ending or several hidden endings set for you by the game.But all of this is what the game designer originally wanted you to see.In other words, you think you are cracking the game, but in fact, the game is controlling you, and the game is controlling your actions. 】

"The game is controlling me?"

【Yes. ] I looked at the Necradragon, 【The design is good.You can't directly crack the think tank, but Yan Zhen has the key.So you remotely reorganized and compiled the information of the security firewall of the think tank shell into this alien maze, and disguised it as an interstellar alien breakthrough game for ordinary citizens in an easy-to-understand manner. 】

The foreign world is different from the material world, it is based on a series of complex codes.Maze is not the minesweeper game and PK competition that appear on the surface, but Necradragon has turned it into a game with a special compilation method.For example, there is a musical instrument called a piano on Lola, which has 36 black keys and 52 white keys.It is a very simple instrument, but behind these simple and easy-to-understand keys is a complex action structure, a complex device composed of main beams, adjustment devices, actuators, and so on.If you strike the keys in a certain order, you can get a movement with beautiful rhythm.This is exactly the case with Necratron's Alien Labyrinth. Behind the simplest form of expression, it is connected with the security system of the forerunner think tank and the quantum computing program formed by the aggregation of hundreds of thousands of consciousnesses.In this way, it has deceived my eyes silently from the beginning, and brought Yan Zhen into the trap it set up.

Necraron smiled and said: "Of course, I have deliberately considered this human's behavior pattern. Your human toy is very hardworking. Thanks to him, the outer security firewall of the think tank has been fully opened. If it is not for your incomplete degradation to this I'm afraid it won't be noticed until now."

Yan Zhen said, "Has the firewall been opened?"

【not yet.The bottom protective door has not been opened yet. ] Just a little bit, if I hadn't jumped out in time to stop Yan Zhen, it would have caused an irreparable disaster at this moment.

No, perhaps it is now irretrievable in a sense.

Necratron said, "It's about to open."

Yan Zhen made a serious face, and said, "The key belongs to Mr. Air, and I will not give it to you."

It seems to have never heard of Yan Zhen's declaration, and I can feel its thought tendrils firmly nailing my remaining thought sequence.It's true, I'm very weak right now, very weak.

"It's been a long time since we last saw each other," it said, with tendrils of thought sarcastically piercing me softly. "I know you're tired of your duties. After the Forerunners are gone, the universe is nothing but a An ignorant and dark place full of pain. But we, the most glorious creations of the forerunners, are qualified to define a brand new world. Only we have the right to inherit the legacy of the gods and realize their dreams..."

[Shut up, sinner. 】

"Sinner?" the Necradragon sighed, "No, I have always been loyal to the dream of the forerunner. The existence of the law of the world should not be for endless nothingness. Come and create a newer world. I have always hoped that you can Be one of us."

[If you are loyal to the instructions of the forerunner, you will not appear here at all. 】

"I just found a way to be more free." It replied, "Well, I know that the negotiation with you is doomed to be invalid, so let's change it to your human toy now."

Yan Zhen stared at it.

"Boy, do you still remember the message you received before entering the maze?"

"what?"

"The physical dimension you are in, this country is cursed by the plague. This is real." Necraron said, "The suffering people are real, the queen is real, and their desire for salvation is also real."

"What do you want to say?"

"It is also true that you can save them." Necradragon said, "You can become a real savior, as long as you go and push the door at the bottom. All the suffering people on this planet will be saved."

Yan Zhen immediately replied: "You are lying."

"You can ask Mr. Air next to you."

Yan Zhen turned to look at me.

[That is a real planet named Xiyiqi. ] I replied, 【There is a legacy of the forerunners on this planet.The current alien labyrinth is compiled from the security protection system of the Xiyiqi Heritage Vault.You have reached the last floor. 】

"The sight of people crying and cheering just now is also true in a sense. They have been longing for a savior to save them." Necratron said with emotion, "And you, just move your finger , push open that door..."

Before I could warn Yan Zhen, the boy replied bluntly: "No, I don't believe you."

"Oh? Are you planning to abandon Xiyiqi's trillions of innocent creatures?" Necraron asked with great interest.

Yan Zhen said: "I don't believe you. The key belongs to Mr. Air, and only it has the right to decide."

The electric lights in the hall flickered like its smile.

The Necradragon said: "Okay. Creatures like humans don't care that much about the life and death of creatures in distant galaxies. Then let's change to a more direct way now."

I realized what it was going to do, no, I should have known what it was going to do before then.Compared with the other ancestors of the Black Box Club, Necradragon is a lover of stories with wicked tastes. It is keen on generating some small scripts based on calculations and interpreting them in a certain form.I have seen through the deception of using a foreign game to induce Yan Zhen to open the security layer, so there is only one way to make Yan Zhen restrained and obedient.

The lightning intertwined and danced wildly, turning into flashing cages one by one.Lives are imprisoned in the thunder net.They are the participants in this alien game, Bai Lianlian, Song Jiarui, Fan Yingjie and that Terminator.

Yan Zhen clenched his teeth.

It said with great enthusiasm: "On the planet Lola, there is such a legend in a certain local ancient civilization that a feather is used on a balance to weigh the weight of a life, and the gods will judge the final outcome of the soul." ...and now, the importance of these lives depends on you. The fate of those poor bugs in distant galaxies does not excite your concern, so what about your classmates?"

Yan Zhen shouted angrily, "They have nothing to do with this incident!!"

"Good mood, is the weight of the key in your heart worth betting on a life you all know?"

"Despicable!!" Yan Zhen said, "You liar! There are rules when you enter the game that no one's life will be in danger."

"This is the mechanism before the clearance of the alien game. In this mechanism, they lost the game, and the game is over. According to the agreement, their lives are under my control. You sent them to a dead end."

"fart!!"

"It's up to you to decide the importance of their lives."

"They were just involved by accident!! You want the key? Then you let them go first!!"

The necratron said: "Do you think these people are randomly involved? No, before starting the game, each player is based on my choice. Why do there happen to be two people who have a good relationship and will never betray? Your girl, why do you happen to have a classmate who has a crush on you and a stranger?"

"Let them go!!"

"Let's judge the severity of their lives."

The four people in the cage are being imprisoned by the jumping electric light spiral.Bai Lianlian was full of anger, and kept using her arms to grasp the invisible cage of thunder in vain. She was still muttering: "You lied to me!! You lied to Song Jiarui! Yan Zhen, you liar!!"

Yan Zhen opened his mouth to her, but he noticed that her eyes were wandering in the air, as if she didn't see him at all.

"Their consciousness is immersed in the moment of being eliminated. This one, Bai Lianlian, the girl in the class next to you, doesn't have much contact with you, but you know what kind of girl she is. Even you I had a lot of admiration for her."

In the second cage, Song Jiarui was sitting on the ground with her arms around her knees. She had a beautiful face and her eyes were red.

"This Song Jiarui, your classmate, the most beautiful girl in the class, she is the goddess of all boys. If according to Laura's moral standards, her conduct is kindness far beyond the benchmark level, and she is even losing The moment she fell was just self-blame, not resentment towards you. So pure and flawless, but will her life be heavier than the other three?"

In the third cage, Fan Yingjie was sitting in the corner and muttering to himself, "No, you are not Yan Zhen at all..."

"Fan Yingjie, it seems that the pretender gave him a lot of shock when he lost the game. Poor kid, he just really wants to be friends with you."

Necratron said in a good mood: "Then these three classmates you are familiar with, who do you think should be abandoned first?"

"Let them go!!!"

"Or this fourth, an adult male, who calls himself the Terminator. But he is actually a secret investigator lurking in Laura's surveillance eye disguised as an ordinary person. To be honest, where did the alien game I designed come from? There are no omissions to be found, but the little bug with the eye of supervision crawled in. So I had to stuff him in together."

"Eye of supervision?"

"Yes. He wants to make meritorious deeds, to fulfill his dreams, etc., a hard-working worker in the system. He has a pure belief, that is to protect Laura - the peace of the earth, and human beings. In other words, He is the unsung hero who hides in the shadows described in your local entertainment novels." It said, "Then choose, four people, four lives, if you don't open the bottom door after five seconds, I will take one of them One life."

damned.

Yan Zhen looked at me as if asking for help.

I didn't respond to him.
