Chapter 257: Where the Gods Fell (Part 3)

While Chu Xiuyan and the boy who was suspected to be the origin stared at each other, the black-clad chief priest beside him grabbed a handful of metal fragments from his pocket and handed them to the doctor.

"[Earth?] attacked the II-3 base?, destroying the first generation of artificial intelligence [fruit]. But it's strange that His actions have changed this time. You know, He was not interested in this kind of base before?"

The black-clad priest handed the broken metal fragments to the doctor. The scratched fragments had almost lost their luster in his hands. They were dull and lifeless.

“…”

The doctor bent down slightly, looked at the metal fragments in the palm of the black-robed priest, and muttered something, but it was not clear.

Next to him? Chu Wenxi glanced at him and translated, "Just like picking up trash?"

The black-clad priest: “Ah?”

He looked at the doctor in disbelief, pointing at his empty left arm, "I lost a hand for some garbage."

The doctor looked guilty, but hesitated to speak.

Chu Wenxi translated: "You are a demigod, how can you grow up? Have a broken arm?"

The black-robed chief priest showed a bit of regret on his face, and sighed, "I was thinking of taking this opportunity to take a few vacations."

After staring at the suspicious version of [Origin] until his eyes were sore, Chu Xiuyan rubbed his eyes, turned his head and said to his uncle: "I heard [Earth?] shouting that it is [Space-Time]."

He didn't expect to see Chu Wenxi here, nor did he expect that the person here would be a guy suspected to be from [Origin].

He seemed to be able to find more truth here.

Chu Xiuyan thought about it for a while, then turned his head and stared at [Origin] again. The other party looked like an exquisite but emotionless doll, or like a mirror, standing upright in front of him, as if there was something wrong with it.

"... [Spacetime]?" The doctor was picking up the metal fragments. He paused and repeated, "The one that looks like a ghost? [Spacetime]?"

Chu Wenxi frowned: "What is He doing?"

Nor do we know whether the “He” he mentioned is [time and space] or [earth? ].

The black-clad high priest: "But, this? Is it artificial intelligence? Although it is still? a semi-finished product, it is also a machine without life characteristics."

The two "Chu Wenxi" began to discuss, and finally came to a simple conclusion, based on the premise that "the brain of [Time and Space] is broken and merged with the first generation of artificial intelligence", they were ready to try it out next. Can it be fixed? .

At this time,

System: [Ah.]

Chu Xiuyan had been staring at the suspicious version of [Origin] for nearly ten minutes. He felt his eyes hurt. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice in his mind. He was surprised and said, "So you are here. I thought you were blocked."

The system that disappeared from the moment it arrived at this time seemed to be resurrecting, and the voice sounded very trance: [I have always been here, but... it seems like something is staring at me, so I didn't dare to speak before. Then, when I was at that Ⅱ-3 base, I always felt that I had seen it before, and it looked familiar, so I went to look in the trash can again, and found...]

[Where did you look? The trash can?] Chu Xiuyan was completely confused.

[That's not important, just listen to me. ]

The system took a breath, [I am fine? Like, probably, possibly, maybe the remaining? Half a piece of "space-time" fragment? ]

[Why do you sound so uncertain? By the way, are you referring to those body fragments in my uncle's hand?] Chu Xiuyan looked away and looked at the metal fragments in Chu Wenxi's hand. The suspicious version of [Origin] also looked in his direction.

[No? You don’t need to use the horrible word “corpse fragments” to describe it! And do they look like the ones in your uncle’s hand? Those… are the other half.] The system wailed, and pulled out a video from nowhere, automatically playing it in Chu Xiuyan’s mind, [Because that recorded video is very blurry! If it hadn’t been stuck all the time, the video had been broken, and the screen had been distorted, wearing out my patience, I wouldn’t have thrown it away as garbage!]

[Sizzle… (blinding light flashes)… "Damn it! The earth? Why is it sizzling?"… (overturned? desks and cabinets, scattered? paper materials, hurried? footsteps)… (image blurs)… (glowing? spheres, yellow-brown? soil flowing like blood)… (explosion)… "This? Is? Just? A machine, the Fruit Generation"… (explosion)…]

Chu Xiuyan felt that not only his eyes hurt, but also his head. He looked at the first ten seconds, and nearly half of it was bright and dazzling light flashing, and the rest was meaningless and fuzzy sounds and screams.

Only the vaguely revealed environment can barely make out the outline of the Ⅱ-3 base, and only those who have experienced it personally can recognize that this is the beginning of the scene of [Earth] invading the Ⅱ-3 base.

System: [Is the back better? A little better.]

Chu Xiuyan: [Manually skip the base? Related, I want to see how you, a corpse fragment, escape. ]

He has already very skillfully accepted the fact that "everything is not everything but fragments of a corpse of [time and space]".

The system was still in a state of world view collapse. It did not refute the words "not body fragments", but silently played it back.

[…In the endless wilderness, the surroundings are very quiet. A dozen metal fragments appear from the air and fall to the ground. Then they stagger and float in the air, enter a ruin, turn to a small corner where broken iron pieces are piled up, shrink and move… (a few minutes later), one of the small metal fragments moves towards the area covered with iron sheets, revealing a book under the iron sheet, with the word “comics” vaguely written on the cover.]

Chu Xiuyan: [Ah.]

System: [Ahhhhhhhhhhhh——]

Clang?

It was like a door being slammed shut. The system was frozen and no matter how I called it, it didn't make a sound.

Chu Xiuyan was still thinking seriously: [So now the question is, is it "time and space" that became the first generation of artificial intelligence, or is it the first generation of artificial intelligence that plundered "time and space"? The ability to jump between time and space? ]

[How to say?] The system struggled to its death. It had always thought that it came from a higher dimension? An ordinary system, but now it found that its identity was fake? The main god space? Maybe it was forged by itself? Even the auxiliary system that came to take over before might have been split from itself? ...

This world is a huge lie.

Chu Xiuyan's imagination was blown: [Although the II-3 base and the black-robed chief priest said that the artificial intelligence has not been successfully manufactured and is a semi-finished product, but it is possible that it has already developed self-awareness, or it is possible that it is a second consciousness generated after the fusion of "time and space" with it?]

The system said dryly: [Host, you are asking me? ]

Chu Xiuyan began to think, is it that he usually chats and quarrels with him? Is it System 1.0, feeling good occasionally? Like he is hiding something? Is it System Sandwich [Time and Space] 2.0?

[That "space-time consciousness" that is unknown to exist is like a latent virus.] The system said coldly, [I'm sorry, host, I will take you back to the original time as soon as possible, and then, if you need, I will untie you and send you back to the original world immediately. What happened here is beyond my ability, and I can hardly guarantee that I will always stand by your side.]

[Speaking of which.] Chu Xiuyan was fine? As if he didn't hear what the system just said? That paragraph?, [If you are not? an ordinary system?, does that mean? that you can be? the main god?]

System: […Huh?]

Chu Xiuyan proposed a possibility: [Because you can travel through time and space, and you can also split into other systems, that means...]

The system's thinking was led astray, [I am? , the Lord God? ]

Its voice was hesitant, as if it was unsure, but it also had a suppressed excitement.

Chu Xiuyan: [You are? The Lord God. ]

[I, I? Dang? Dang? — (Ga)]

The system crashed again.

Is this true this time?

The reason is excessive excitement.

Chu Xiuyan thought, should the system check the program code for itself first?

The system's problem has been solved, and now we are back to the boy who is suspected to be the origin.

Chu Xiuyan retracted his attention and looked at the boy in front of him again. It only took him a few minutes to communicate with the system, and the other party didn't seem to notice that he was distracted for a while.

However,

"Are you [Blood Mist]?"

[Origin] The first sentence he said almost made Chu Xiuyan get angry and beat someone up.

"I'm not? Yes, no? Yes!" Chu Xiuyan said sullenly: "Are you [Origin]?"

If the other party does not refute, it means he agrees.

"How strange." He was still muttering "It's not blood mist" and moved closer. His face was still expressionless. His crystal clear silver pupils were like crystals, clearly reflecting every detail of Chu Xiuyan's body, even the hair was not spared.

"Stay away from me—"

Chu Xiuyan quickly stepped back and hid behind Chu Wenxi.

[Origin] If he came to the left, he would hide to the right, and both sides circled around Chu Wenxi for several times.

Chu Wenxi was still observing the metal fragments in his palm, ignoring the two people spinning around him... one person and one god.

"Ah, this? Could it be called the eagle catching the chicken?"

[Origin] He suddenly stopped moving, uttered a word without any tone fluctuation, then raised his hands, leaned over, slightly squatted, stared at Chu Xiuyan, and said seriously: "I'm coming to catch you."

Chu Xiuyan: “?”

Did he observe carefully? Did he seem to be joking? [Origin], couldn't help but ask: "Is this your personality? Is there something wrong? Abnormal?"

"alright."

Chu Wenxi pushed them away one by one, "No? You want to stand at the door of the base? Go back to the house first."

He led Chu Xiuyan inside first, and his low voice revealed some undetectable emotions, "I know you were on guard against them. So, in the future you arrived at, [Earth?] they turned back into humans? You met them first?"

Chu Xiuyan didn't say anything. He felt that just by looking at his expression, Chu Wenxi could observe and understand his own answer, and they were having a conversation where there were clearly two people but only one was talking.

"It seems that his? guess is correct?, the? god who was originally human can turn back into a human again."

——And Chu Xiuyan guessed? Yes, Chu Wenxi had a one-on-one conversation.

He lowered his voice and said: "It's a pity that we can't turn back. We have walked too far on this road and left too many companions behind."

Chu Xiuyan was held by Chu Wenxi's shoulders, and was pushed along the path leading to the interior. On both sides were piles of snow, among which there were snowmen, strange-looking small animals, and even various vehicles made of snow.

A gust of warm air blew over me.

Chu Xiuyan stepped onto the indoor ground of the base. There were many people coming and going, and children playing and fighting among the crowd. The noise was endless. Compared with the experimental base he was originally in at that time, this place was more like a simple, large base that could accommodate countless ordinary people.

"So we must keep going, until we reach the end, and find everyone. Only then can this journey stop. We promised to bring everyone back to this world."

Chu Xiuyan heard this voice, which was slightly tired, but he couldn't tell whose voice it belonged to, Chu Wenxi, or the doctor in this world?

"Only gods can hold the memories of dozens or hundreds of reincarnations."

Footsteps sounded from behind, and the doctor walked to the side, looking at everyone in the base, his voice was very light.

then,

A pair of hands gently held his waist.

[Origin] Silently, she hugged him from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder, opened her crystal clear, beautiful and bright eyes, but without any emotion, and said softly: "I just want the original ones to come back. You can understand, right? There is only the original one, that is my obsession that I will never forget."

"Help me, from another world?..."

"【I】."

…

…

Chu Xiuyan hammered him away with two bangs.

[Origin] Covering her head, she looked at him blankly.

"I'm hungry, let's eat—"

Chu Xiuyan didn't even look at him, not even the two "Chu Wenxi" beside him, and walked angrily into the depths of the base.

What, do you think that if you play the emotional card and use gentle traps, he will be blinded and foolishly jump into it?

No? Yes!

He has no morals and no emotions!

and--

He hasn't eaten since arriving in the Northwest Ice Field!

Busy, too busy.

Who can be busier than him?

Damn it!!!
