Chapter 432 451. Invisible Fear
After listening to [Deng]'s words, Xu Zhi did not express any opinion on his idea.
After just a moment of thought, he asked, "So, are the other agents the same as you?"
"Is it just an incarnation of the gods?"
[Light] seemed a little surprised that Xu Zhi asked this question at this time. After all, in her opinion, compared with the current situation, this was not such an important issue, and knowing it or not would not affect anything.
But she still answered Xu Zhi's question: "Yes, but it's not just a clone."
"We will choose the transcendent closest to us to inhabit her body. Normally, she will remain herself, but when necessary, we can directly control her. Although there are many restrictions, it's just in case."
"This is also a way for the gods to maintain balance."
Hypocritical.
This is Xu Zhi’s evaluation of this.
What is maintaining balance? What is protecting humanity? Isn’t the essence of it all about “control”?
But because of this, Xu Zhi learned some things that he had been puzzled about before.
Why didn't those agents choose to escape and survive, but died so smoothly? It turns out that there were these gods behind the scenes.
The [Cup] kills the agents as a sacrifice of their flesh, blood, and souls, and requires them to be alive. This must be because of the connection between the agents and the gods.
It seems that [Cup] has prepared some backup plans.
After knowing the information he wanted, Xu Zhi looked at [Deng] and asked directly: "Where are you now and what are you doing?"
The lamp did not answer, but only said, "You do not need to worry about where I am. I will not appear to stop you, nor will I get involved in your fight."
Xu Zhi thought, this won’t do. If you don’t show up, how can I implement my plan perfectly?
"Then can you do me a favor?"
[Deng] was a little surprised to hear that.
"What's the matter?"
"Although I have temporarily allied myself with the Cup, I do not trust Him. I need you to help me watch Him, tell me what He has done, and warn me before He is about to find me."
"Since you're tired of fighting and believe I can break this situation, and you have high hopes for me, how can you just stand by and watch?"
"You have to help me."
Xu Zhi didn't care whether these words made sense or not, she had to confirm the traces of the [lamp] and the [cup].
[Deng] thought for a while and sighed again.
"You want to use me to distract others and then kill me?"
The tone of her question was gentle, but it was obvious that she was not asking, she was just expressing Xu Zhi's thoughts.
The girl who was being "questioned" did not panic at all after being poked. She even smiled and nodded and asked back:
"Is it not possible?"
"I don't just want to kill you. I want every one of you to die quickly."
"I need more energy and a safer environment. It's hard to succeed alone. If you want me to end this, you have to help me."
"As for whether I can kill you, who can say for sure?"
"Are you going to reject me?"
Xu Zhi looked straight at her, wanting to see whether this [Lamp] would choose to retreat because of his murderous intent, which he had not concealed too much. If she refused, then this [Lamp] would probably have been corrupted by power and authority in its long life.
He was far inferior to those extraordinary people with the [Light] attribute that she had seen before.
"I won't refuse you."
[Deng] answered like this.
Then, seeing Xu Zhi's slightly surprised look, he smiled and said, "Do you think I will refuse?"
"Compared to the disaster that will come from the unending conflict, my life is truly worthless."
"If you think you can kill me, then go ahead and try."
Afterwards, [Deng] raised her head slightly and looked towards the sky of Mansu. She made some complicated hand gestures with her right hand, and the regular symbols unique to [Deng] flashed quickly in her golden eyes. In just a few breaths, she seemed to know the information she wanted to know. When her figure disappeared, her voice also reached Xu Zhi's ears.
"Please speed up, time is running out."
The figure of [Deng] disappeared, and another voice sounded in Xu Zhi's mind.
【Now we just need to find where the cup is.】
It is a spirit body, and also the sound of a game console.
"Yes, this task is left to you." Xu Zhi's tone was relaxed, and he felt quite happy that he finally didn't have to do it himself.
Although the game console has given birth to her own unique consciousness for various reasons, in essence, whether it is her body, her talent circuit, or even her soul, they can be regarded as part of Xu Zhi. Therefore, she can easily communicate with Xu Zhi in her brain.
"Don't be lazy!"
[I understand, Miss Capitalist.]
The voice of the game console, which was extremely similar to hers but with a completely different tone of voice, came from her mind. It was obviously much more convenient to communicate directly in the mind without having to take out the game console to read the subtitles. The simple conversation with the game console also calmed Xu Zhi's originally slightly impatient heart.
She began to move towards the location of the [Glow] she had vaguely sensed before.
That position was not accurate, or rather, even if she had achieved a shallow resonance, she could not accurately locate the glow and could only vaguely perceive its approximate location.
There is no weather change in Mansu, no clear passage of "time", and no regional division. Everything seems to be fixed and stagnant in Mansu. Even if you see the wind blowing and hear the chirping of insects and birds, when you stay here for a long time, you will find that this wind, the chirping of insects and birds, and even the clouds flowing in the sky are so familiar.
It seems like it is just a perfect reproduction again and again.
But this does not make people feel uncomfortable. Even though Xu Zhi realized that everything in Mansu was not truly "lively", and even seemed to have regulations on what changes should be made at what time, the atmosphere here still made people feel comfortable.
In other words, it makes the "superhumans" feel comfortable.
But as she tried to walk towards the [glow], this feeling of "comfort" gradually faded away.
What comes with it is "pressure".
It was impossible to tell where this pressure came from. It was everywhere in the house, or perhaps it was from the bottom of her heart, deep in her mind, an invisible fear began to spread.
It was as if humans were facing the most primitive and ignorant fear. Even if they had reached Xu Zhi's level, they would no longer be easily shaken by emotions and could even control their subconscious. However, she still found that as she approached step by step, her fingers began to tremble slightly irregularly.
It was a body instinct that even she couldn't control.
This body, forged by the rules of glow fragments, instinctively began to fear its source.
The origin of all power and the world.
I really won't postpone it. It's almost finished. It would be a shame to waste all my efforts.
