Chapter 193 Adam III and the Message (End of Volume)
"Is this okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"They are your parents, right? They just left without saying goodbye..."
"I didn't leave. Never."
In the outside world, Li Qi, who had left the virtual world, was having a conversation with Shui Jing.
He adjusted the 'relic doll' he had created, took a few steps back, looked at the doll in front of him with a dazed look and said:
"I am here, okay."
Hearing Li Qi's words, Crystal set her sights on the doll made by Li Qi.
It was a doll that looked exactly like Li Qi.
It has even surpassed the category of 'puppet'.
Red blood flows in his body and he has internal organs.
The heart beats, the blood flows, and all the body functions are intact. This is the "clone" that Li Qi created for himself using the power of No. 3.
The puppet Li Qi will stay in this world instead of him.
So to others, he has never left and has always been here.
"…All right."
Crystal has forgotten most of her memories as a human, so she cannot judge Li Qi's actions.
He just felt that what Li Qi did was not right, but Shuijing couldn't tell exactly why it was not right.
Finally, he could only change the subject and say, "Ronnie has decided to take humanity away from this world."
"Um."
“What do you think of this decision…”
"It's none of my business."
Li Qi said ruthlessly: "I have said that I have done everything I should do. What choice I make and what will happen to the future of mankind have nothing to do with me who is about to leave.
"I won't give any opinions or suggestions. After all, to this world, in a sense, I am no longer a human being."
"So, why don't you choose to stay?"
"The world is rejecting me, and this is why."
Li Qi raised his hand and explained to Crystal.
Perhaps his current strength exceeds the limit that this world can accommodate, or perhaps he himself is hated by the world, so even if Li Qi is now protected by the power of destiny, he can only leave this world.
Otherwise, rejected by the world, Li Qi would have to live a life like the movie "Death is Coming" every day.
He didn't want to live in a situation where he was targeted by the will of the world, nor did he want to stay in a world where there were no more secrets for him.
So leaving became his only solution.
Of course, the "world" that Li Qi was talking about was not this planet, but the rules of the universe.
If what happened centered on Ronnie was a comic or novel, then Li Qi was excluded by the comic and novel itself.
That is the true 'world will'.
To be honest, three consecutive... no, four worlds being hated by the world can no longer be explained by coincidence.
Li Qi guessed that something must have happened to him during the time travel, or perhaps it was because of his identity as an outsider that he was hated by the world.
What he needs to do next is to find the reason.
and solve it.
This is not something that can be accomplished in this world.
"Almost done, just one last step to finish it."
Li Qi raised his hand, inserted his fingers into his head, brought out a wisp of mist, and then tapped the center of the eyebrows of the puppet in front of him.
The mist quickly penetrated the puppet's brain, and after a moment, the puppet in front of him opened his eyes.
"Please enter the preset command——"
"...(Magic rune of repair spell)."
A series of syllables that Number Five could not understand or remember, along with the characters formed by the mist, entered the puppet's head.
The puppet's eyes lit up for a second, and then its dull gaze quickly became lively.
Then he blinked and smiled at Li Qi:
"Adam Three is at your service, Master. Please give the order."
"Play the role of 'Li Qi' in my place."
"The order has been accepted and is being confirmed... Confirmed..."
"Restate your identity once more."
"Instructions accepted... Current identity: Li Qi, male, 15 years old, formerly a resident of Rubino City, now a resident of Green Shade City, father is Geer, mother is Chris, students include Ronnie, Emma, Rumi...
"Holding the relic..."
"Master the authority..."
"……above."
"very good."
After listening to the other party's retelling, seeing that the other party had completely replaced him, Li Qi nodded with satisfaction.
He put his hand on the other's shoulder, patted it gently, and said to him seriously:
"Then from now on, this world is in your hands."
"Understood. From today on, I am Li Qi."
Adam No. 3 repeated it once more, completely confirming his identity.
After finishing all this, Li Qi slowly let out a breath.
He stared deeply at Adam III, then turned his head to look at the area in the distance where Nagel, Chris and others were "sleeping", and slowly exhaled:
"Okay, let's stop here."
"Leaving?"
"Well, there is no need to stay in this world anymore."
"Aren't you going to say goodbye?"
"It's not necessary. After all, in their eyes, 'I' have never left. So let it be... Let it be..."
Li Qi repeated it twice, with a sigh in his voice.
Finally, he took two steps back, and his body gradually liquefied into mercury, slowly wrapping around the puppet Li Qi.
The soul is about to leave, but the body cannot be taken away.
As one of the five original relics, Li Qi was naturally uneasy about handing his body over to others.
The only person who can make him feel at ease is himself.
Therefore, the puppet Li Qi will make a contract with the relics he left behind and become the first special relic in the world with its own will and the ability to act according to its own will without having to sign a contract with anyone.
"Oh... I almost forgot..."
When it was about to leave, a person suddenly emerged from the body made of mercury.
It is the mirror flower stored in his doll space.
But now Jinghua's consciousness no longer exists in this body.
After devouring No. 3, his soul became extremely powerful and could also sense the condition of his own soul, so Li Qi swallowed Jinghua's consciousness and soul to see if he could take the soul to another world in this way.
If he succeeds, Li Qi will no longer be alone in his future reincarnations.
On the contrary, if it fails...
If you fail, what will be wiped out is only the consciousness of the mirror flower.
After spitting out Jinghua's body, Li Qicai said to No. 5:
"You probably don't have a physical body right now. If you don't mind, you can use this body... Although I don't know whether you are a man or a woman..."
"Forehead……"
"Anyway, this is really the end. Goodbye..."
After bidding a final farewell to Number Five, Li Qi's voice completely disappeared.
At the same time, the body he left behind, which became a relic, also completely merged with the puppet Li Qi.
In the empty room, No. 5 and the puppet Li Qi looked at each other.
He looked at the body at his feet, thought for a long time, and finally... moved closer to the body.
…
The capital of the kingdom, a capital that seemed to have remained unchanged since its construction.
Today has seen some very significant changes.
A giant 'continent' that blocked out the sky flew out from the foggy area and landed over the royal city.
It blocked the sunlight from the sky and attracted the attention of everyone in the royal city.
Everyone stared at it in amazement, like mortals looking up at God.
Ronnie was in the cockpit, holding the scepter in one hand that could control the flying boat.
He looked down at the tiny capital below, his body trembling uncontrollably: "I, I, I... I'm a little scared, what should I do..."
"Calm down."
The crystal that used Jinghua's body comforted Ronnie in a cold voice: "Anyway, use this to communicate with the kingdom below. We still have plenty of time, don't be nervous."
"Okay... okay... I'm not nervous... I'm not nervous... No, Crystal! I'm still very nervous! Really, why isn't the teacher here at this time!!"
"… Li Qi has gone to pick up Carol. Don't always rely on him. He told me before he left that he won't care about your choice. You have to rely on yourself for this matter."
"Ugh! Teacher!!!!"
When Ronnie heard Crystal say this, he immediately let out a cry of pain.
…
After coming out of the incubator, Gel and Chris stayed in the luxurious cabin of the spacecraft for several days before they understood what had happened.
But when she regained consciousness, the first thing Chris did was not to care about her husband Ge Er. Instead, she looked somewhere blankly, tears unconsciously sliding down her face.
“…Chris?!”
When he saw Chris crying, Ge Dun was in a hurry to comfort her and asked why Chris was crying.
But before Chris could answer, the door of the room was opened, and Carol, who looked like a little girl, rushed towards them:
"Ger! Chris!!!"
Relying on her petite body, Carol threw herself in front of Chris.
Chris caught it subconsciously and looked behind Carol.
Behind Carol, the boy with golden eyes stood there looking at them with a smile on his face.
Gel also noticed the boy at the door. When he saw the boy's appearance, Gel also exclaimed: "Kiri!? No...you are..."
"Should I say... nice to meet you, or long time no see? Dad, Mom."
The young man called out to the two of them in a gentle voice.
Ge immediately reacted: "You are Li Qi?! You actually...actually..."
He never thought that the young man he met in the End Village was actually their child.
No...isn't their child growing up too fast? He doesn't look like he's thirteen years old at all? "Sorry." Li Qi apologized to the two of them, "...I didn't mean to hide it from you, but...the situation at that time was not suitable for recognition."
"Li Qi has already told me about your affairs. Pfft - you were deceived by an illusion. I can laugh at you for the rest of my life!"
Carol covered her mouth and smiled like a little female devil.
There was some embarrassment on Geer's face.
It was even more embarrassing when he thought about how he and Li Qi became close friends in the "illusion".
He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something to Li Qi, but Chris spoke before him:
"Ger, Carol...can you let me talk to Li Qi? Let's talk alone..."
"Hmm? Okay." Carol had no objection.
Gel originally wanted to talk to Richie, but when he saw Chris's expression, he forced himself to suppress his inner desire and left with Carol, leaving Richie and Chris alone.
After making sure that Ge Er and Carol had gone far away, Chris looked up at Li Qi and asked:
“…Was it painful when he left?”
"Mom, what are you talking about..."
"Stop lying!"
Chris's eyes were filled with hatred for the person in front of her. Her eyes were red, tears were streaming down her cheeks, and she said to the person in front of her: "I can... sense... his lifeless body... is in you... This is something only we can sense... so don't lie!"
The descendants of the creator all have similar blood connections with each other, especially Chris, who gave birth to Li Qi in a normal way. Her connection with her own descendants is even stronger.
They were not able to discover it in the illusion because what entered it was not their bodies but their consciousness, and they did not have the induction that came from their blood.
But now…
Chris could clearly feel that her son's body had lost its life and activity, and existed in another form on the other person's body.
That's a relic.
My own children...
Became a relic.
When she thought of this, Chris almost fainted, but her remaining sanity kept her awake.
She wanted to know what had happened to her child.
"According to the creator's instructions, the final video will now be played—"
Perhaps knowing that he couldn't hide it from Chris, Li Qi's eyes flashed with a little light, and his voice suddenly became mechanical, and then an image was projected from his eyes.
That was the scene recorded in the virtual world of Li Qi's last moments.
Chris stared blankly at Li Qi in the picture.
The young man who looked exactly like the person next to her said helplessly in the picture: "Since you have seen this image, it means that you have discovered that the me over there is not me, right?
"Although I don't know who you are, it could be Carol, it could be Ronnie, it could be... Chris or Ger... or someone else I don't know, but I hope you can help keep this a secret...
"After all, I don't want to see someone I know crying, even though I can't see it now."
Li Qi paused here and explained to the people on the screen:
"Anyway, let me explain first. Although I don't know how you found out, I want to make it clear that I became what I am now on my own accord.
"Yes, you heard me right. I did it of my own accord. Due to some irresistible reason, I had to 'die' and could no longer remain in this world. So in order to allow me to continue to exist in another way, I created 'him' to exist in my place.
"I can't explain the specific reason, but the 'me' that exists there is something I created. There is no such thing as someone harming me and then pretending to be me.
"So...let him go."
When Li Qi said this, the scene changed slightly, and then he said: "...Ah, I wanted to say it directly, but since you have discovered the 'truth', I will give you a little reward.
"I left a lot of knowledge about relic making and alchemy in the head of my other self. If you want, you can learn from him. As the first person who discovered that something was wrong with me, he will do his best to help you.
"But learning these things is not without a price. As a price, you will have to work with me in the future to protect the people I want to protect. I will also tell you the relevant list when the time comes.
"Finally...if you are someone familiar with Chris and Ger, please tell them for me, I..."
After Li Qi finished speaking, the picture changed several times, as if it had been re-recorded several times.
It took a long time for the picture to stabilize.
He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Although my feelings have become richer, it's still a bit embarrassing to say this... Well, forget it, it's the last minute anyway... Ahem, let me take back what I just said, and tell Chris, Geer, and Carol...
"Thank you for bringing me into this world, thank you so much... so much... and... I love you.
"Tsk, I'm still a little embarrassed, I better delete it..."
At the end of the scene, Li Qi's mumbling seemed to be heard again.
But Chris could no longer hear clearly.
She just cried, hugged 'Li Qi' in front of her and cried.
He refused to let go for a long time.
