parasitic son

Hundreds of billions of lives sang in his ears.

The countless shiny silk threads fluttered and criss-crossed beside him, forming hundreds of billions of new silk threads.

The green bird is floating in the sea of ​​golden threads. Even though it has crossed thousands of threads of destiny, it still cannot see clearly the path of destiny ahead.

Endless regret is burning it.it's all my fault.it's all my fault……

It was the seal that Mr. Air gave up his life, but it fell short because of my observation.

Its low cry floated in the empty space, and the green wings swayed a little bit of starlight, just like its tears.

I'm sorry Yan Zhen, I'm sorry because I don't know anything...

Hundreds of billions of lives sang an elegy of fear and sorrow.

It seemed to be pulled into the abyss by this invisible sorrow, and the remorse seemed to tear it to pieces.Suddenly, a small spot of light appeared in front of its eyes.

It was like a lighthouse appearing above the endless deep sea, a dazzling pearl piercing through layers of fog.

It was a point of light, a star, a glint of hope amidst despair.

When the bird approached, the light spot first revealed two small pointed ears, and then a neat and fluffy tail.It was a little cat.

"Mr. Cat?" called the green bird, flapping its wings.

"Liu Xingquan, Observer." The kitten responded with a soft and crisp voice.

The feathers fluttered, it—he, Liu Xingquan turned back into a human form.He exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Cat, are you all right?" But then, he noticed that it was different from Mr. Cat, the cat was wearing a little cape.It looks much smaller than Mr. Cat.

The kitten in the cloak bowed politely, "Hi, I'm an iteration of Mr. Cat's subordinate branch. When Mr. Cat sent you away, he asked me to follow you."

"Mr. Cat, is it okay?"

Cape Kitten replied: "My original Mr. Cat is fighting Necradragon."

Liu Xingquan was silent for a while, and then he asked: "Can it win?"

The cape kitten didn't answer him.

"Then what about Yan Zhen?" Liu Xingquan asked eagerly, "Can Yan Zhen come back?"

The cape kitten just stared at him with those calm golden eyes, without answering or making a sound.

"Yan Zhen..." Regret welled up in his heart, he said, "It's all me..."

"No, it's not your fault." The cloaked kitten said, "The awakening of the Necradragon is unavoidable. No one can stay out of it. Your retrospective observation is necessary."

"But I let Mr. Air and Yan Zhen sacrifice in vain."

"On the road of established facts, what you have taken is a necessary step." The cloak kitten said, "The Necradragon needs your observations, and so do we."

"I don't understand." Liu Xingquan said.

"You don't have to regret it," said the cape kitten. "The real battle has just begun."

I just want Yan Zhen to come back.

Before he could speak his words, the world spun in an instant, and he flew in the sky again.Blinding flashes filled his field of vision, and then he saw swirling nebula tides, one after the other of darkness and light.The supernova that has come to the end is spouting destructive energy, and the nebula is condensed into stars again in the gravitational collapse.At the same moment, countless stars die and countless stars are born.

Under the light of newborn stars, some planets became the origin of life, while others remained dead.The scene of the Milky Way star map changes before his eyes, the crust of the earth is cracked, the ocean is surging, the mountains are razed to the ground, and the deep sea is turned into a desert.

The planet under his feet became Xiyiqi, a vast and turbulent ocean and a continental plate floating like a large piece of froth, on which dots of starlight intertwined into cities.Under the little stars, there are thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of millions of people. They are the fire of civilization on this planet.

But now, the gray pearly planet was gleaming with shapeless mottles, and these mottled spots were growing like spreading plague abscesses.Siegchi is being eroded.

"What happened?" Liu Xingquan asked.

"Sentries," said the cape kitten. "Out-of-control Librarian guards. They can rewrite everything to themselves."

"How do we stop this?"

"Based on your subjective time unit, the sentry could have devoured the entire Xiyiqi within 10 minutes, and there was no time to resist. But now the Xiyiqi people can still organize a counterattack with a certain intensity."

"You mean the Sentry has been weakened." Liu Xingquan realized something, "Could it be Mr. Cat..."

"Mr. Cat has set an overall slowing damper on the think tank guards, making their subjective time flow very slow. This is why the Xiyiqi people can now organize defensive counterattacks." The cloaked kitten said.

"Mr. Cat is really amazing!" Liu Xingquan raised the cloak kitten and shouted, "You are so cute too!!"

The cape kitten wagged its tail shyly.

"So, what can we do?"

The cape kitten stared at the changing scene in the void, "The singularity is going to disappear."

"what?"

The little cat's paw points to a point.I saw a group of staggered and changing golden network lines on the continent of Xiyiqi, and among the bursting rays of light, there was a distorted light spot like Van Gogh's stars.It is gradually dimming.

It said: "The unstable singularity, which is about to disappear."

*****************************

All are fighting.

In the central control room, Yan Zhu could clearly see the graphic signal composed of flashing lights and shadows.Battleships and starfighters are taking to the sky, trying to compete for air supremacy.The turrets on the ground were firing salvos at the malignant cell-like mass, and the continuous explosive bombs were bursting out with a series of flashes.

A large number of mechanized troops, heavy armored troops, and a torrent of steel composed of mechanical cavalry are flocking to the front line against the Sentinel.

The protective shield shone with light, and the roar resounded through the sky.The sentinels fell apart under the bombardment, but they reunited in an instant, and then the soldiers who rushed to the front were instantly wiped out like water vapor without a trace, and the rest of the troops still marched forward proudly, just to die before being swallowed. Buy more time for Xiyiqi.

"Fight! Fight!"

"Hold it! Hold it for me!!"

He could hear the fierce roars and orders of the commanders in the communication network.Their voices are as high as a song, as enthusiastic as a fire, but soon some voices will suddenly disappear and return to dead silence, and then they will be replaced by new, unfamiliar voices. Their war songs are still high amidst the buzzing radio waves.Is this the courage of life, or pointless folly?

A salvo of gunfire fired, and countless trails of light and rain streaked across the sky.When the light is scattered, it means that a sentinel has been defeated, but it also means that more sentries have been reborn.This fertile and vast land is full of destructive flames.Thousands of lives are being wiped out with the flickering light.

The logos of several legion troops are like extinguished sparks and ashes, and other shining troops are dying bravely.

When the flames die, what will be left but the Sentinels?

Fog filled Yan Zhu's field of vision.He thought of his own world. On the first day he arrived in the underground shelter, he could still hear the cheers of welcoming newcomers in the reception hall of the shelter. He still remembered that he and a few classmates pointed out the international situation on the dormitory bed. , they are so confident and full of vitality.In the first two months, at night in the dormitory, there would be the slight sound of various TV series and movies played on the flat panel, and the soft light shone on their faces.Under the flickering of these colorful pictures, the ordinary life in the past seems to be close at hand.They both firmly believe in returning to such a future.Later, the shelter began to limit electricity consumption, and the dormitory supervisor would patrol back and forth every once in a while at night.He often hides under the military blanket, flips through his brother's diary with a dim flashlight, and greedily reads every fragment of text until his eyelids become dizzy and he falls asleep.

Often in those dreams he would be back at his school, with the same playground, jagged weeds growing along the edges of the red gum track.A few track and field players walked by in gym shorts, and he could smell the heavy sweat on their bodies.And he was thinking about how to avoid the surveillance of the school security and secretly play basketball with his brother in front of the basketball hoop in the center of the playground.

Like a fleeting flash before his eyes, irreparable death has covered his hometown.When he looked at the water-blue planet on Yin Ran's spaceship, they said that life on the earth had been wiped out, and there were only inhuman monsters on the burning streets and cities.He seemed to be able to hear thousands of wandering spirits hovering on this blue planet, crying forever.Now the shadows of those dead have sunk into the depths of his memory forever.

The equipment in the central control room kept humming and hissing.

He could only sit in front of the device and watch the logos flickering in front of him, and watch them die one after another.

I can't even help them, Yan Zhu smiled wryly to himself.

A voice sounded in his ear.

"Faulty logic. Faulty logic. Faulty logic."

The computer in the control room kept reporting errors, Duke Gil left, and Mr. Cat, who could not speak at all, was squatting on the console panel and licking its fur.Now the only living person in the control room is him, so Yan Zhu asked subconsciously: "What?"

The console's computer responded, "I'm analyzing the data for the final defense decision."

A large group of complex icons jumped out, in Yan Zhu's eyes, it was just a mess of runes and vector icons and various abstract three-dimensional mathematical model images.

Completely incomprehensible.

"Oh, what happened?"

"Princess Algie issued an order to attack the sentry with the final defense decision, but the execution fell into an endless loop." The console computer said, "Duke Gil's judgment is correct."

"You mean that Xiyiqi's final weapon at the bottom of the box can't deal with the sentinel."

"Yes, I can't understand the sentry, and I can't understand the algorithm of the final defense decision." The console computer said, "Its calculation system is completely different from the principle that I can run, like a two-dimensional and three-dimensional span .”

Responding to the words of the console computer, the equipment in the control room rustled in unison, and the constantly flashing signal light spots showed the anxiety of the core processor running at full capacity and high speed.There is obviously a temperature control system in the room, but Yan Zhu can still feel the rushing heat.

"After all, that is the legacy of the forerunner comparable to a god." Yan Zhu said, "What is the final defense decision? Is it a super nuclear bomb?"

"I can only read its description information." The console computer said, "The only think tank weapon authorized to be used by the Siiki race can only be used when the Siiki race is in crisis of genocide. It is a conceptual destruction weapon. Not the destruction of life, but the erasure of a concept of purpose."

"..." Yan Zhu said, "Then can it be used to deal with black boxes?"

"Error." The console computer said, "Black box is a broad term. The final defense decision requires first to have a clear and specific goal, second to have detailed and clear location coordinates, and third to have to exist in the physical reality of this dimension. Light It is the term black box that cannot carry out orders."

Yan Zhu's heart jumped a few times, and he asked again: "What about the sentry? Why can't this ultimate weapon attack the sentry?"

"The final defense decision belongs to the think tank system, and the sentries are the guards of the think tank. Letting them attack each other will only be a self-contradictory endless loop."

"Infinite loop." Yan Zhu said in a low voice, covering his eyes with his hands, his heart was beating rapidly.

Through his hands, he could see the flickering lights and shadows on the holographic projection, scarlet halos oozing from the edges of the flickering images, which were the disappearing lives in the ripples of burning fire.If it is delayed any longer, the planet will be completely dead.

His heartbeat gradually returned, and he said:

"Computer."

"Please say."

"I figured out a way."

"Please describe your approach and explain its feasibility."

He put down his hand and said with a slight smile, "My solution is to implement the final defense decision against me."

"..."

"Gin in my world once told me that crossing the world line can exist on the infinite possibility of each ontology. But I can't exist in this world, I will never be born, and I will be zero from the beginning. I am the paradox of this world. The black box will take advantage of my paradox to magnify the information density and cause the world to collapse, so the think tank guards and sentries will lose control and attack this world they believe is unsafe.” Yan Zhu put his hands on the own chest, "Then, as long as my concept is erased, the world can be saved."

"..."

"Do it to me, computer!"

The rustling noise of radio waves rang in the device, and the console computer said: "The logic is established." I don't know if it was Yan Zhu's illusion, but he felt that the computer's voice was a bit reluctant.

"Then, please execute it on me."

"..."

"hurry up."

The electronic interference sound blasted harshly in the computer's speakers a few times, and the computer sounded again, "The logic is valid, and the logic is not valid. I don't understand."

"What do you mean?"

"You are a Homo sapiens life form, and the instinct of a Homo sapiens is to extend one's own life. Giving up one's own life is against biological instinct. I don't understand."

"But look at them." Yan Zhu pointed to the flashing holographic image in front of the console, which is the battle group fighting fiercely on the battlefield, "Many people have died in the short time we talked just now. Every minute wasted Thousands of people are dying. If I do nothing, everyone will die. I caused this, so I should end it."

"..."

"To save Xiyiqi, for this world, for..." Yan Zhu paused, "This is also for my family in this world. Please carry it out."

There is no response from the computer.

"One side is my paradox, and the other side is the whole world. This is an unthinkable choice."

"……Are not you afraid?"

"..." Yan Zhu replied, "I will die if I continue to stay here. But this method is the only hope for everyone." He said softly, "I am a very selfish person. In fact, I just want to let this Family of the world survive. Please."

"..."

"Please! Don't delay!"

"I understand."

The flashing signal on the console was jumping rapidly, all the equipment was roaring in unison, and all the computing engines were running non-stop.

He knew that the computer had accepted his offer.

For the first time since he came to this world, he felt a sense of calmness and relaxation, and the buzzing sound of equipment was like his high-spirited aura.

The raging Sentinels are devouring everything insatiably, Siiki is being destroyed.

Under the programmed calculation of this final defense decision, he is about to gain real relief.

Gone alone without anyone knowing.

So, he finally said: "Thank you for sending me the last ride. This computer AI, do you have a name?"

"My name is Yan An." Amidst a burst of strong electrical interference, the computer replied.

After being stunned for half a second, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He felt the pull of gravity, the ground under his feet seemed to be sinking, and countless needle-like stars spun before his eyes, reminding him of the gorgeous Northern Lights he had seen before.His body seemed to be chopped into countless particles.

he saw-

There are thousands of fans waving light sticks at the concert, as if they were throwing stars into the sky.

The abandoned little parrot, his beloved "Duo Duo", is waddling and throwing a temper tantrum at Dr. Yang.

The Yan Zhen siblings waited by his car for his autograph, their eyes gleaming like obsidian.

he saw-

It was the biological killer who traveled through the clouds on the day of the school celebration.

The already devastated ruins of the earth completely disappeared in the light of the omen of death.

he saw-

He carried his schoolbag and walked to school on the familiar stone road. The flowerbed beside the road was full of charming cosmos, just like any previous summer.

His elder brother was sitting on the bow and paddling the oars, golden sunlight was dancing on his thick black hair, and beads of sweat were condensing on his forehead.

It was the memory between the worlds that he had experienced and fantasized about before, before he, Yan Zhu—this concept completely dissipated.

I was born because of my brother's death.

If my brother lived, I would never exist.

An and Zhu can only look at each other across the water forever, they can only be parallel and cannot touch each other.

But if it wasn't for my brother, I would never stand here.

I must have a special fate, and I came here under a series of coincidences.

It is also very natural to leave alone to save the world now.

As I once said to Dr. Yang, I will go through this journey of life with my head held high.

Brother, saving your world, this is the meaning of my life.

I just noticed now that this was no ordinary coincidence from beginning to end.

Therefore, at this last moment, an AI named "Yan An" will see me off.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Brother, thank you."

Under the flickering light of this gravitational fluctuation, a green bird hummed for him, and his world was reduced to nothingness.

Complete nothingness.

Farewell, Nagisa.

Yan'an No. 8 made an electric sound like a painful gasp, and all information was lost.
