Chapter 325 Silver Bullet "Well done, Xiaoqin." ...
"So your plan was doomed to fail from the start," Lin Xi said. "You couldn't resist the villain's inevitable defeat, so you found me from another world, used your methods to strip me of my memories, and then installed the system on me, making me the boss, shouldering the weight of your fate."
"On the one hand, you wanted me to act unconventionally and change your fate, but on the other hand, you wanted complete control over me, fearing I'd slip away from your grasp. You manipulated Jin, Ando Hui, Madera—people with minimal influence in the original storyline, people you could implant—to get close to me. You knew the strength of consciousness was closely linked to memory, so to be safe, you even arranged for the system to die over a hundred times in the dungeon, ultimately forcing me to brainwash myself and forget about Morobushi Kagemitsu."
"And then you wanted me to return to school, to continue being controlled by you, to have my art serve your ambitions. I'm afraid I set the fire at the exhibition six months ago. I'd rather destroy myself than be used by you."
"You rescued me from the fire, used the scar removal medicine you invented to remove my burn scars, and then caused me to lose my memory again. On the one hand, you fear me and are wary of me, but on the other hand, you admire me and covet my abilities. How pathetic and hypocritical."
So, number 004573 is her, painter X is her, and Lin Xi is also her.
She is a soul that traveled from another world, the protagonist of this novel, a stranger who lost her memory and could not return before the end.
The reason why she can control the degree of integration with the boss is because she understands that she, like the boss, is a self-centered, unscrupulous, and lacks empathy person - after all, not only can she not return home, but even her precious memories of home have been gouged out by the damned. Not going crazy is already giving face to the world.
She just needs to magnify these traits and hypnotize herself into being like him.
The BOSS is now as fragile and pale as a piece of paper.
Lin Xi is the protagonist, and this news is too shocking, as if all his efforts are ultimately making wedding dresses for others.
More than four thousand seven hundred resets, more than four thousand seven hundred lives, all just embellishments of another person... He couldn't accept it.
He couldn't stand Lin Xi's ridicule: "You can sit here and say these things now, only because you are the protagonist. The world loves you, you win! But your victory is only because you are the protagonist... In the final analysis, you are just a lucky guy."
Lin Xi said calmly, "Are you blaming the world for not giving you any other choice? The choice was clearly yours all along. No matter what kind of literary work it is, a person who is heinous and despised by everyone will not be allowed to win. It was you who destroyed your own escape route, wantonly hurting others, and yet you still dreamed of controlling the world! Do you deserve it?"
The boss said, "What about you? The artificial intelligence you and that boy created has already threatened the survival of mankind worldwide, right? Aren't you also standing against the world, but the world still favors you!"
Lin Xi smiled strangely.
"That was a lie, idiot. How could I possibly push myself into the spotlight in such a clumsy way unless I had already decided to let this identity die."
"The so-called joint investigation team is a collaborative project between the TO and the government. As early as three years ago, I had Rum gradually approach the government, gradually cleansing up the industry and bringing it into the open, developing a technology company to keep up with the times."
"The 21st century is the age of media and the internet, and all development is inseparable from technology. The organization's previous development methods are too outdated and rigid. Continuing this way will inevitably be eliminated by the times. Even Sicilians know how to develop the entertainment industry! The organization must either transform or be destroyed. Rum, whom I personally recruited, is much more useful than your previous subordinates. He is young, smart, and ambitious."
"How does it feel to be fooled? Haha, Bourbon is such a good actor, isn't he?"
That day she cornered Rei Furuya in the alley—
"Relax, Bourbon... I just want to make a deal with you."
"I'll give Scotland back to you, and you'll play a trick on me."
"The script will be handed to you at the right time. However, you won't be acting for anyone else, but for me. You have to be able to fool me, okay?"
"...Only you, don't rely on the power of the organization and the public security."
There are risks if there is a boss in the organization and tell the police.
"When this is over, Scotland will be free. I will let him return to Japan with a different identity, back to the arms of his family and friends. I promise you."
The young man's dry voice rang out: "...Okay. I promise you."
"Noah didn't invade nuclear weapons at all. It just hacked into the LED screens in the CBDs of several cities." Lin Xi said jokingly, "I'm not a wanted criminal now, and TO is not a terrorist organization. I'm just a dangerous person at best, and they're willing to cooperate with me. Why would they want to kill me?"
The only variable was the oil-leaking plane, which forced her to reveal Noah's true abilities to the authorities and made her unwelcome in Russia.
But her claim that she couldn't afford 5 billion was a lie. The bill must have already been sent to Rum. The organization is much richer now than it was in the past. It's only 5 billion, but she can afford it!
Although the KGB was still chasing her...but she didn't do it on purpose. She didn't hit any vital points and didn't kill anyone. It was just thirteen missiles. Haha, they shouldn't hold a grudge like that, right?
The boss was so angry that he was shaking all over.
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Xi.
His hands began to melt, and his consciousness flowed down strangely like liquid, as if it was about to merge with Lin Xi's body.
He started studying human consciousness a long time ago, and his understanding of it was much deeper than Lin Xi's. He knew that not only could different consciousnesses be integrated with the body, but consciousnesses could also be stitched together.
Since neither can survive, how about stitching it together with the protagonist's consciousness?
In this way, they would truly become one person from the mind to the body, becoming a twisted monster...
Lin Xi felt an intense pain. This pain spread from the depths of her soul, making it unbearable. She realized what the boss was trying to do, and knew that this was his final trump card.
However, with so many reset memories, the boss's consciousness was much stronger than hers. She was pinned to the spot by him and was unable to resist.
She sneered, suppressing the pain and controlling her expression: "Is this your final struggle? Trying it all over again doesn't seem to have improved your IQ much."
"Let me tell you one last thing, dear."
She put her backhand on the boss's shoulder.
"Unlike rewinding, when you go back to the past, the system takes away your consciousness, not your body."
This was what she discovered when she was going through the Vermouth dungeon. After returning to the past from the main timeline, all her mental symptoms disappeared.
That is to say, when she enters the system copy, her body and other people's consciousness will remain in the main timeline.
She guessed that her body in the past timeline was simulated by the system.
"And I still have a copy that I haven't entered yet." She exerted force with both hands and pressed the BOSS hard into the chair.
The boss's eyes widened.
"Haven't you always wanted my body?" Lin Xi's eyes flashed with malice, "Then give it to you! Die in my place!"
The fusion progress has reached 100%.
The BOSS was forced to come out of the consciousness space and completely merged into Lin Xi's body.
The exchange of consciousness was only a moment, and the outside world was still stuck at the moment when the bullet passed through the heart.
From hair to fingertips, everything belonged to him, yet it was just a dying shell. His broken heart bled profusely, his eyes grew terrified, his vision shifting from clear to blurry...
Lin Xi exhaled and clicked on the plot directory before his consciousness faded.
Sandwiched between many completed tasks is a lit, selectable unfinished task.
A copy from 19 years ago——
『Unfinished』
『■■'s long-cherished wish』
"■■ years ago, 'that master' mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight. Legend has it that only a handful of people in the organization, including ■■, have ever been able to meet 'that master' directly..."
"Do you want to enter the dungeon?"
Lin Xi chose yes.
In an instant, she felt a blur before her eyes, a burning pain in her arms, and the air became thick and difficult to breathe...
Her last feeling was a growing sense of weightlessness.
She didn't see that the system flashed and a prompt popped up just before she lost consciousness.
『Completed』
"Who are you? "
"Please break through the confusion and see who you are."
"You are player 004573, a soul summoned from another world. You have lost your past, but you possess a future. Deep-seated hatred has become your anchor, ensuring that even with amnesia, you never forget who you are."
"However, besides hatred, there is something else glimmering in the depths of memory... You will eventually understand that the reason you have a future is because love found you before you remembered hatred."
…
"No, something seems to have gone wrong in the world... We can't all go!" Noah's voice was a little urgent, "We can only take one person!"
Inside Oak Company, the edges of the house turned white, and a huge vortex appeared above the computer, and the things inside seemed to be moving slowly.
Vermouth gritted her teeth and reached out to pull Miyano Shiho over.
"You go!" she said, "get everything you want for her—"
"But, but..." Miyano Shiho was surprised.
She thought Vermouth would go by herself.
After all, she never concealed her obsession with Lin Xi...
"No buts." Vermouth's face turned cold. "To her, you are more important than me."
She didn't give Miyano Shiho a chance to ask again and pushed her into the whirlpool.
At the same time, all the lights in San Francisco went dark.
The supercomputer was calculating frantically, and Hiroki Sawada was operating nervously in front of the computer. Noah finally said goodbye to Hiroki and turned into a data stream and disappeared in the vortex.
…
After firing that shot, the world seemed to have pressed the pause button, and all the movements turned into slow motion in Gin's eyes.
He saw the bullet pierce the girl's heart, bringing up a cluster of blood. He saw Lin Xi smile calmly and mouth something to him.
The knowledge of lip reading in his mind quickly and automatically parsed her words, but Gin would rather not know lip reading at all.
What that sentence means is—
"Well done, Xiaoqin."
The silver bullet finally completed its mission, ending the life of the immortal and ending the 4,753 reincarnations.
It felt like a long time had passed... My sense of time seemed to become confused...
He saw Lin Xi suddenly open his eyes with a look of horror.
They looked at each other, and Gin realized that this was not her.
He felt a little relieved.
Lin Xi had promised him that she would only die at his hands. So, no one except him could kill her.
He believed her.
