Chapter 21 Is He Lying?
Dead.
The two light words seemed to be just talking about how good the weather is today.
1551 was stunned. The pink and white face on her upturned face looked very easy to pinch, but now it began to lose its color because of the Lord God's words.
He was scared.
For the first time, I felt that there was something wrong with the way my brain processed information.
Otherwise, how could I receive such cruel information?
Those ninety-nine systems that were able to obtain the internal testing qualification, even if they were not the top systems, were at least advanced systems that had experienced hundreds or thousands of tasks.
But because of this plan, they all died! ?
Why……
1551's face turned pale as he suddenly realized something.
If they have semi-solid bodies, they can touch the surface world with their semi-solid bodies, which in turn means that anyone in the surface world can harm them.
But that’s how all ninety-nine systems went wrong?
Before 1551 could figure it out, the voice of the Lord God sounded again.
"It seems you are smarter than I thought. Those ninety-nine systems revealed their existence during the mission and were destroyed by the protagonists, mistaking them for supernatural powers."
The words of the Lord God continued to echo above his head, but 1551 felt that he had never had such a strong intuition at this moment.
The death of those ninety-nine systems is not that simple.
The protagonists in the outer world all have different personalities, some are kind and some are cautious. If they really discovered the system and came into contact with the existence of the inner world, why would they all choose to kill the system?
Unless there is something hidden.
1551 opened his mouth, wanting to speak out the doubts in his heart, but what emerged in his mind was the warning engraved in the system manual.
【Do not disobey the Lord God in anything.】
1551 has always known that he is very timid. His previous host mocked him for this for a long time, saying that even hamsters would not be as sensitive as him.
But at this moment, the chill spread from the soles of his feet upwards, and he never thought it was because of the Lord God.
You cannot disobey, so you cannot even question.
The Lord God is not only the untouchable being that created them, but also the only one who has the power to decide the destruction of all systems.
The relationship between them is not just one of superior and subordinate, but also one of complete belonging.
How could the Lord God possibly deceive him with such an ordinary little system?
In just a few seconds, too many things flashed through his mind, and 1551 could only stand there in a daze and couldn't react.
The Lord God's voice did not stop, but he casually skipped over the topic of the ninety-nine systems and turned to talk about what he really wanted.
"The semi-entity plan cannot be shelved because of these minor sacrifices. Since you are the only surviving system, continue to advance this plan for me."
"Advance?" 1551 murmured, its mechanical cat ears moving restlessly.
He felt like a clumsy penguin that had suddenly fallen on a piece of melting ice and could only be pushed forward and watch the danger surround him.
But it was the Creator who placed him on the ice, the One on whom he had to depend.
1551 rubbed the corner of his clothes helplessly: "I don't understand what you mean."
He could feel himself being watched.
This feeling is actually very uncomfortable.
It was like being scanned without emotion, his inner being and all his consciousness being dissected until it became completely transparent.
After about ten seconds, the intense gaze finally faded somewhat, and the Lord God spoke again: "I will grant you the power to enter the surface world in your original body, but remember, you are only a system, so you have no identity in the surface world."
That is to say, he is completely himself and does not need to play anyone.
This huge news hit 1551 like a falling meteorite. He blinked, but his long eyelashes couldn't hide the stunned look in his eyes.
The Lord God: "But I can only give you permission for half an hour a day."
He paused before continuing, "This is a protection mechanism for you."
If 1551 could understand emotions a little more, he would find out how hypocritical this sentence is.
1551 felt that he should be happy because this was something he had always dreamed of.
Finally, we no longer observe humans from a systematic God's perspective, but can choose to join and participate in this world.
The feeling of uneasiness that was too strong to be ignored at this moment made him forget his happiness temporarily.
The Lord God: "Su He is a very powerful strategist. If you make good use of that half hour every day, you will conquer that super... S-level world, right?"
There was a momentary unnatural change in His words.
This was 1551's first encounter with the Lord God, and high hopes were placed on him.
No other system has such an honor.
He knew he couldn't say anything except gratitude at this moment.
So 1551 expressed his praise and gratitude to the great Lord God, even though he was afraid at the time.
The disembodied voice came again.
This time he was allowed to leave.
…
Having left the space where the main god was, 1551 felt like he was dreaming, and every step he took was hazy.
Until a familiar voice came from behind.
"1551?"
1551 turned his head in confusion, and when he saw the man's face, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in surprise.
He Zi.
His previous host.
He was untied without permission. If Senior 999 had not helped him, he would have been sent to be destroyed the moment he was untied.
Although He Zi was not aware of this, he was still disappointed with this old host.
So when He Zi walked in front of him, 1551 just greeted him lightly out of courtesy.
The man frowned at this: "I heard that you are now assisting Su He. It's different to be with an undefeated host. You seem to have changed a lot."
No longer enthusiastic about him.
The last half sentence that was not said is the key point.
Thinking of the sincere smile that 1551 would show whenever he saw him in the past, and comparing it with his distant attitude now, He Zi suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He did not doubt 1551's original sincerity.
After all, it was only after changing the system that he realized that not every system would be so foolish and thoughtful as to give its own points to help the host.
Even if it's just a minor cold, 1551 will use his points to buy him quick-acting medicine.
Being able to become a capturer, He Zi is actually quite handsome, but the harsh words that just came out of his mouth make it difficult for people to have a good impression of him.
1551's face turned cold, and he looked a little angrier than before.
He Zi became even more proud. He introduced the new system 1024 following behind him to 1551.
1024 is a very cute girl. The non-human part of her body belonging to the system is her fingers. All ten fingers have a gray metallic texture and make a sound of iron colliding when they move.
1024 greeted 1551: "Hello, 1551."
She looked at the system with a cheerful smile that matched her personality, and after learning that its current host was the difficult Su He, she felt a little sympathy for him.
However, such sympathy was so weak that it could be ignored, even though 1551 was her companion.
What's more, this companion has a very delicate reputation in the system circle. It is said that he was infected with a virus and has an extra emotional module.
1551 also greeted back: "Hello, 1024."
His mechanical cat ears twitched enthusiastically.
He Zi scoffed.
Perhaps they are mocking these AIs, thinking that they are just imitating human behavior.
A condescending look appeared in his eyes: "1551, if you can't make it with Su He and get kicked out again, come and beg me, I can still consider taking you in."
It was clearly an invitation, but his words sounded like alms.
It was as if he was the one who was so angry about the failure of a mission that he blamed the system and drove 1551 away, and it was not him.
1024 glanced at his host, only confusion filling his mind.
This person just saw 1551's back from a distance and recognized the old system from the mechanical cat ears and tail.
No matter what, I had to run over, nervously afraid that I would disappear around the next corner.
You obviously care about 1551, but now you can only be sarcastic.
1024 analyzed it and found that her current host's behavior was infinitely similar to the psychological activities of elementary school boys when they bully the person they like.
However, she was not obliged to make any comments or reminders, so she continued to stand by and watch.
Sure enough, when 1551 heard his words, his little face was filled with even more unhappiness, and the mechanical cat tail stopped wagging.
He shook his head and looked at He Zi with a condemning look, but the words he said were not for himself: "I think you should respect 1024 more."
1024 looked up in slight surprise.
He Zi was a little embarrassed, and his expression slowly turned into anger: "As expected, now that you have found a good home, you look down on me."
1551 wanted to explain that he should have been destroyed after being driven away by him. It was not because of climbing up, but because he met a good senior who helped him.
If Su He doesn't want him now, she will most likely complain.
He will be destroyed, so there will be no chance to change the host.
But when he looked at He Zi, he felt that there was no need to say too much, so 1551 lowered his head, and his mechanical cat ears drooped childishly, as if refusing to communicate.
He Zi wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by 999 who came rushing over.
999 received the signal from 1551 and happened to see him being "bullied".
In his eyes, this scene was just like a naive and innocent junior like himself being trapped in a small corner.
Although the host has the right to complain and unbind, and is generally a higher-level existence than the system in the inner world, that only applies to some mid- and low-level systems.
Advanced systems have archives kept by the Lord God, so their say will naturally be higher than those hosts with lower contributions.
999 was angry, so the first thing he did after coming over was to support 1551: "Host, please don't interfere with other systems' tasks."
999 looks a little dull, but he is an advanced system that tends to be guiding. He has many novice hosts under him, just like a headmaster. He will appear very fierce and serious at critical moments.
He pushed up his black-framed glasses, and his mechanical eyes were full of criticism towards the other party.
Seeing the advanced system coming, He Zi's expression became unnatural, but he was unwilling to give in.
It's obviously just an AI, what's so great about it?
When he becomes an advanced strategist, these advanced systems will have to serve him in a humble manner.
He Zi: "We're just catching up, and isn't 1551 slacking off during work hours right now?"
When he said this, his eyes suddenly flashed, as if he had caught 1551's weakness.
But 999's next words dealt him a heavy blow.
999: "1551 just met the Lord God. He is not idle like you."
Only advanced systems, or systems that are about to become advanced systems, can see the Lord God.
1551 I Actually Met the Lord God! ?
As soon as he leaves me, he will immediately become an advanced system?
Could it be that he was holding 1551 back? Or had he given up on 1551 himself? If other raiders who were doing better than him knew about this, they would definitely look down on him even more.
He Zi's face suddenly turned red and white, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Finally, with 999's half-smile on his face, he turned and ran away.
1024 didn't care much about her host. She shook her lively ponytail, waved goodbye to them, and then followed He Bing and left.
When no one was around, 999 regained his serious demeanor, pushing up his glasses which kept sliding down, and asked, "So, what exactly does the Lord God want to see you about?"
1551 withdrew his gaze from He Zi's inexplicably embarrassed back.
This little episode did not improve his already worried mood, but made him even more uneasy.
1551, with his cat ears drooping, asked cautiously like a child who had done something wrong: "999, do you think the Lord God would lie?"
999's expression suddenly changed, and the artificial eye that was transmitting data turned red, as if sounding a warning to 1551.
