parasitic son

"Choose!! Whose life are you going to give up first?" The necromancer's voice echoed in the hall.

Yan Zhen bit his lip.

I didn't respond to him.

What can I say to him now?Opening the door of the think tank will let the whole world fall into the hands of the Black Box Society, and if you don't hand over the key, you will just watch the Necradragon slaughter the four innocent people according to its script.

It was never a multiple choice question.

……

……

Yan Zhen fell into silence, which was obvious and impossible to answer.

Then, the time has come.

"Ding dong~~~" Necratron imitated a crisp timing sound, "It's time."

"Aren't you willing to open the gate? Very well, so who do you choose?" The Necradragon swayed the phantom, swaying between the four cages, "You Lola humans have a tradition of giving priority to women, so you are resenting Your Bai Lianlian, or this pitiful Song Jiarui?"

"Stop me!!"

"Or this Fan Yingjie?" It announced happily, "It's decided, it's this unlucky Fan Yingjie."

"You fucking..."

"That's him." The Necradragon smiled maliciously.

During Yan Zhen's cursing, a pitch-black snake jumped out from the gap between the thunderbolts. It was a virus generated from the redundant garbage of data programs. Where it slid, it left flickering mottled spots.Fan Yingjie was still muttering to himself on the spot unconsciously.The pitch-black snake got entangled.A burst of light suddenly exploded behind the pitch-black scales, and the splashed light particles were like sharp broken glass.

The blurry light and shadow dissipated.

A person fell to the ground.

His body size shows that this is obviously an adult, his body - can only be described as a corpse, turned into a miserable pile of fragments, the black snake was also torn into pieces in the explosion just now fragments, but it twisted into more little snakes in an instant, tumbling through the man's wreckage.

Fan Yingjie was unharmed, trembling on the spot, his eyes seemed to be hollow.

"Hey, a dramatic turn has taken place!!" Necralong shouted excitedly, "This secret investigator from the Eye of Supervision suddenly stepped forward at a critical moment and stood in front of Fan Yingjie. If this The investigator secretly used his trump card - a neutrino bomb to escape, maybe he could escape smoothly. But he chose to protect Fan Yingjie, which is really touching. Is this the responsibility of an adult human being? "

"..."

The necratron said, "Oh? You are relieved." Its shadow swayed on Yan Zhen's face, "Because it was not a classmate you knew who died, but a stranger, so you are relieved, aren't you?" ?”

Yan Zhen stared at it suspiciously.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang~~~~" Necradragon said in a cheerful tone, "In the narrative of various drama stories, turning points and conflicts are indispensable. At this time, how can there be no exciting What about the unexpected twist?"

"..." Yan Zhen said, "What do you want to say?"

"And this turning point must of course have the necessary foreshadowing, otherwise it will only reduce the fun of the story." It said, "Let me give you a hint, why didn't this secret investigator choose you and your friend Liu Xingquan before entering the maze?" How about one of them as his teammate?"

"..."

"You don't want to guess, right? The reason is very simple, because he is not a stranger at all. Even if he puts a camouflage filter on himself, if you get close to him directly, whether you or Liu Xingquan will recognize him immediately Him. So this secret investigator chose a third person besides you and Liu Xingquan."

"What are you talking about?" Yan Zhen's voice became sharper.

"Qiangqiangqiang~~~~" Necraron said, "Then, it's time to reveal the answer."

"What do you want to say?"

"The secret investigator of the Eye of Surveillance who has just died, his real name is——Liu Ruiguo."

The shadow of the Necradragon hung over Yan Zhen's face, "Hey? You've finally been frightened. Are you surprised? The first person to be abandoned was Uncle Liu, the father of your best friend Liu Xingquan."

Yan Zhen shouted hoarsely: "You are lying!!"

"Liar? Are you going to test it with your own eyes? The current consciousness wreckage is a bit inhuman. I don't mind removing his camouflage filter." Necraron said happily, "Oh yes, after all, the secret The investigator concealed his identity and pretended to be an ordinary driver. He has been very successful in playing the role for more than ten years, and it can be said that he has deceived almost everyone. The eyes of supervision will always work hard in this regard, even None of his sons know that his plain-looking father is an unsung hero who guards the city. Yo, you look genuinely intimidated."

"I know what you want to refute. Why didn't your Uncle Liu meet you while exploring the maze, because this is his secret investigation, and his priority is how to kick you students out of the game as soon as possible."

"What should we do next? How do you explain it to Liu Xingquan? Because you think the key you stole is more important than his father?"

The mazes sang.

The branch code I laid down layer by layer was finally activated silently.Those are the codes that have spread since I first dived into the game. They are nested with the maze structure, and they are constantly multiplying and replicating through the player's interaction with the maze.I made several preparations. The Necratron knew that I would invade the alien game, and in order to avoid accidents, I conceived and created several escape methods, which were almost blocked by it.

The current code directly reversed the foundation of the foreign game maze. Previously, I used the method of disguising it as a maze task to continuously increase my authority.Although this authority alone cannot compete with Necradragon, I can force all mazes to execute self-renewal mode at the moment the code is activated.The Necradragon will stop all of this, but before it can do so, it must let the maze data enter a storage buffer, and the seconds of this buffer are my chance.This method works very well, the only problem is that it takes a lot of time.

That's why I've held back until now.

The mazes sang.

Each square room is moving, left and right, up and down, making rhythmic sounds.The ground and the dome began to shake at the same time, and the monsters in the room ran out, switching positions in each moving room.

The singing came and went, and all the labyrinths swayed to the rhythm of the singing.The necracratron's smile froze on its face, looking like an explosion cloud that had suddenly been frozen.But it doesn't take much time to process the immediate burst of updates.

My bundle of thoughts caught Yan Zhen. "Uncle Liu!!" He shouted, "My classmate!! And Liu Xingquan!!"

A twisting rift opened in the dome of the Moving Maze, blasting a searing white light into all vision.I pulled Yan Zhen and flew up.

The alien labyrinth ripples and dissolves beneath our feet.

We flew into the high-speed transmission channel.

It was dark all around, save for a single green bird flickering on the dome like a blotch.

……

……

When Yan Zhen woke up from reality, he jumped up.

"It's deceiving, isn't it? Uncle Liu is fine! And Liu Xingquan and my classmates, what happened to them?"

[Liu Xingquan is the winner of the alien game just like you, he is not bound by the agreement.I also grabbed him just now, and he also escaped from the alien labyrinth together. 】

"Where's Uncle Liu? It's lying, right?" He asked in an almost pleading tone.

[He is brain dead. 】

Yan Zhen's face turned white, he gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "What about my three classmates?"

[Their thinking consciousness is in the place of the Necratron Dragon.They are too entangled in protocol bondage.I only had time to bounce you and Liu Xingquan together. 】

"How could you not save them!!"

[Time is too short, my current state is unable to confront the Necradragon head-on. 】

Yan Zhen's eyes were red, he wanted to say something to me, but he quickly lowered his head, "It's all my fault, because I made you into..."

【No, it's not your fault.Whether it's me, your Uncle Liu, or your three classmates. 】I said, 【All these developments are based on the careful calculation of the black box meeting.Many things you think are just accidental results, but these choices are nothing more than the conditions that the other party has set for you in advance, allowing you to make the choices they want you to make. 】

"It wants the key." Yan Zhen said, "I know I can't give it the key."

Yan Zhen is more sober than I thought.

As I explained to Yan Zhen in advance, you can imagine the whole world as a complicated self-program. Although new redundant garbage is constantly being produced, the world has always been able to run self-consistently.If you want to revolutionize and shape the world, then you must master the source code of the world, which is what I said to Yan Zhen.The "source code" of the world has always been locked.The Forerunners realized that unlocking the truth of things would only lead to catastrophe, so they hid the key.

Necratron, an uncontrolled creation born from the hands of the forerunners, one of the ancestors of the Black Box Society, it wants to seize the key, but in fact it just wants to turn the world into its own as it pleases.

[Yes, the key cannot be handed over. 】I told him.

……

……

At this time the door was pushed open.

An Yuan poked her head out, "Xiaozhen, Liu Xingquan has come to look for you."

Liu Xingquan walked into Yan Zhen's room from behind An Yuan.

After An Yuan left, Liu Xingquan said impatiently: "We have already won the game just now!! This game is really interesting! Have you got the prize you want?"

There was a joyful smile on his face, and his cognition stayed at the moment when they won.When we were talking with Necradragon, Liu Xingquan, as another victor, was left on the upper floor of the maze, ignorant of what happened just now.For him, it was just a happy and thrilling game trip.

He didn't know what kind of threats Yan Zhen had encountered, he didn't know that the lives of his three classmates were hanging by a thread, he didn't know that his father had...

But none of this can be told to him now.

Yan Zhen lowered his eyes, "Mr. Air, you were right earlier, I shouldn't have brought Liu Xingquan into this matter."

"?what are you saying?"

【He really shouldn't be involved.He shouldn't know these things.Before he gets too deep, you still have a choice. 】

I quickly sent some knowledge to Yan Zhen.Now that the Necradragon has appeared, the situation is irreversible.The mere presence of me and the Necradragon is enough to spell disaster for his friends.His friend is just an ordinary human being, and there is only one choice we can make.

"I understand."

"Yan Zhen, what are you talking to Mr. Air?"

"Mr. Air, please immediately—" Yan Zhen paused, "Eliminate all his recent memories of you and this recent adventure."

Liu Xingquan's eyes widened: "What are you talking about??"

"Forget it. Don't come to me again soon."

"What are you talking about??" Liu Xingquan stared at him, "What do you want to do all of a sudden? Why do you want to erase my memory?"

"Mr. Air, come on."

"What are you doing?? Have you encountered any danger?" Liu Xingquan raised his voice, anger appeared in his eyes, "Are you in any trouble?"

"..."

"I tell you Yan Zhen, you have no right to do this!! Who do you think you are?" Liu Xingquan shouted, "You have no right to do this to me!!"

"Mr. Air!!"

"Yan Zhen!! Are you looking down on people!!! What am I in your eyes??"

Then, a pale fire ignited in his mind, his eyes became a little dazed, and I burned all the memories of this boy about me during these days, as well as his strange adventures with Yan Zhen these days.Although these memories were burned, only the uncontrollable anger remained in his consciousness.

At this moment, he didn't understand why he was angry, so he repeated it again based on his intuition: "Aren't you looking down on people!!"

There was a silence at first, the silence was so dry that the mouth was dry, and then the boy heard the answer from the other side.

Yan Zhen said: "Don't be self-righteous. I despise you."

Dead silence.

"You're just a driver's son."

I didn't see the expression on Yan Zhen's face, Liu Xingquan's eyes widened.After a few seconds, Liu Xingquan did not speak.

Then he turned around and left without a word.

First there was the sound of stomping and going downstairs, and then An Yuan's voice downstairs, "Xingquan, you left so soon."

The door was closed.

I saw Liu Xingquan walking forward without looking back, then stopped suddenly, and he yelled at the window: "Yan Zhen, you bastard!!"

A green bird outside the window was startled and flew up.

Yan Zhen lowered his head.In order to drive away his friend, he told a lie, which hit the most vulnerable part of Liu Xingquan's heart, so that the boy couldn't face it rationally.In terms of efficiency, this lie is almost perfect.

I started thinking about the most pressing question before us: what next?
