Chapter 192 The Sky Falls (End) (1st update + 2nd update + 0.5 update of 1500 thunderbolts) [VIP]
"You tried to stop this by dying in every world line," Huai Jiamu glanced at Ren Zhiling, "but your death was meaningless every time."
Ren Zhiling's existence caused the world to split, but by the time she realized this actively or passively, the world was often about to end.
"So there is no other way..." He pondered for a moment, "If you don't want Liu Yi to take extreme measures when he finds out you're about to die, you can only be dragged in here to prevent them from finding you and to prevent your death from disrupting the cycle derived from your branch line."
There are so many Ren Zhilings in so many worlds. Once one of them dies, the cycle that is about to be derived from her will be broken.
Ren Zhiling is the most important variable in this link, and one of the reasons why so many worlds have split apart.
[The secret agent of your organization is this secret agent???]
【I'm late. Can someone explain what's going on? 】
[It's so funny, I came too early and I don't know what happened. 】
What is a hidden stake?
[This instance is rated for eight people. Didn't you notice that one person was missing from the beginning? ]
[Reporting a little forgotten...]
It’s not just the investors in the barrage who have forgotten this.
On the screen, all the exploration team members were stunned for a long while, and Xu Zichen, who was at the front, pressed down his twitching eyelids and said, "Fuck you..."
He really forgot that such a secret agent existed.
In the previous space, this person had a low presence and did not often participate in their discussions. Most of the time, he was like a free man who neither pushed clues nor participated in exploration. When he finally appeared in their base, Xu Zichen's impression of this person was just that of a weirdo with a low presence. His fixed attributes seemed to be quite special, so he would not appear in the temporary group chat.
However, there are enough weirdos in [0106], and there is one more teammate who will not appear in the group chat, so everyone's acceptance is good.
In the first few days of this copy, he still had time to think about where the secret agent had gone, but as more things happened later, he forgot about it.
But I didn't expect that when I saw Huai Jiamu again, he would directly turn into the original future man.
"Um..." He finally turned to look at Ye Dian, "What exactly is his fixed attribute?"
How did a member of the exploration team become a member of this copy?
"I'm not sure either," Bai Jinshu shrugged, pushing all the blame onto his other alias without any pressure. "Only Skao knows this. I only know that his fixed attributes are closely related to the dungeon. After entering each space, he will randomly merge into a native of the space and gain all the memories of this native."
"In a world where everything is very exclusive, or where key clues can only be provided by the willing indigenous people, he would be a very useful spy."
"Hiss..." Xu Zichen took a breath as if he had a toothache, "Then this time..."
This time I'm really going to follow it.
How did I become the initiator of everything as soon as I entered here?
"Then doesn't that mean he knew all the rules and procedures right from the start..." Song Jirou didn't know what was going on, but she still asked sincerely, "Can't he just fill it out directly?"
"He doesn't have a watch..." Xu Zichen twitched his lips and spoke for the secret agent of his organization, "We all enter the unknown space in person, so the clothes and watches are brought in from the outside world. On the contrary, if we get injured in the project, we will leave with the injury."
His words were full of unfinished meaning.
Song Jirou: “…”
Since Huai Jiamu will merge into the body of an indigenous person, he naturally cannot bring in the clothes he was wearing before entering the project and the foundation's combat watch, so he naturally cannot contact all of them.
On the other hand, if any non-fatal accident occurred in the project space, it would have nothing to do with the fact that he did not enter the space.
Although she knew that most fixed attributes were weird, this was the first time she had seen one so weird.
[This fixed attribute... is awesome. ]
[I don't remember this kind of player appearing before. Could it be that he is the kind of big shot who is directly sent to the high-end space as soon as he appears? ]
[Most likely, with this kind of fixed attribute that can directly turn one into an aboriginal, it would be strange if one is not recommended.]
[Doesn't that mean he is almost invincible after entering the project?]
[Indeed, as long as he doesn't die in there, his main body will not be affected.]
[And because he is an indigenous person and does not wear a watch, the Foundation's camera will even ignore the existence of this team member...]
[A true hidden stake. ]
[But if I don't have a watch, then I can't fill in the rules, use miracles, or even connect with other teammates, which means I'm basically no different from the natives.]
【yes. 】
【Then here comes the question. 】
[When he first entered the project, how did he get discovered by Skao and brought into the organization? ]
On the screen, Lu Changfeng was also thinking about this question: ...I often wonder how his brother Ao managed to get all these people into the organization.
It can be said that apart from the two debuffs of inconvenience in contact and inability to use any Foundation-related miracles, this fixed attribute is fundamentally a more effective way to save his life than his [First Aid].
Because he didn't have a combat watch, if he wanted to push forward the exploration, he had to rely on the hands of other exploration team members to fill in the rules. If he didn't pursue completing the exploration, he could even hide among the indigenous people and wait to log out of the copy after the exploration time was over.
But Huai Jiamu doesn't look like that kind of person.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this time...
Due to some restrictions, the indigenous people he merged with could not communicate with the exploration team members. Kong knew a bunch of answers to the rules, but he could not pass them on because he did not have a watch, so he could only use some means to continuously influence their investigation progress and speed up their discovery of the rules.
"So whether it was Liu Yi who launched the attack on the first day of the meeting, or the metaphors secretly revealed in the words of Liu Yi EF who came back later, or Xi Enze's research that was supposed to be completed in 20 days but was completed on the seventh day, you were the one who pushed them forward?" Song Jirou thought for a while and suddenly spoke.
If we think about it this way now, the unexplainable parts in all links have their source. On the first day of the meeting when Liu Yi and others were unlikely to launch an attack, they deliberately attacked Ren Zhiling and Xi Enze at the same time when she walked to the front, thus defining the scope of key clues for all exploration team members.
They intentionally guided Liu YiD, who came back on the third day, to find them to stop Liu YiC, and diverted the focus from Xi Enze, one of the clues, back to Ren Zhiling.
The metaphor rules were added to the stories told by Liu Yi and EF on the fourth and fifth days to help them think about the plans that Liu Yi and others were secretly making.
"And that symbol," Bai Jinshu said, "It's the symbol that guides everyone here.
This person does not belong to the original traverser of Ren Zhiling's artificial human. It is very likely that he will not be able to enter it again after this cycle starts, so he can only convey information by guiding Liu Yi.
All of them entered the space at about the same time. They entered on the first day, and Liu Yi and others appeared on the second day. During this process, how to reveal information to everyone while ensuring that the rules continued to operate was the idea that Huai Jiamu needed to complete.
If he hadn't pushed it forward, then according to the progress of Liu Yi and others plus the fixed attribute bonus of Song Jirou, they might not have noticed Ren Zhiling's specialness for a long time at the beginning. And after noticing her, the amount of information and trust value they could obtain by joining in halfway would be far lower than what they could obtain by paying attention to her from the beginning.
The clues in this world are too obscure.
"It's just that I don't understand one last question," Bai Jinshu frowned, "Liu Yi A, how did you do it?"
In order not to disrupt the cycle, he launched an attack to make them notice the importance of Ren Zhiling and Xi Enze while diverting everyone's attention. He also sent Liu Yi A to divert his attention so that they would not discover that there were multiple Liu Yis at the same time. He already understood the logic of this action.
However, he still couldn't figure out why Liu YiA appeared below the attack and affected his thinking and disappeared when he had already thought about how to attack and intercept.
When all the Liu Yis had no intention of killing the two key figures, someone suddenly launched an attack on Xi Enze. This was certainly worth it for the Liu Yis who were in a meeting to send someone to check it out, but how could they guarantee that the person they sent would not be discovered on the first day?
"At that point in time, there were two Liu Yi A's," Huai Jiamu's voice sounded, "one was Liu Yi from the first day of the future, and the other was from the second day of the future. The one who went to the meeting was the one from the second day, and the one who appeared in front of you was the one from the first day."
Bai Jinshu: "...I understand. I can fill in the rules now."
【Wait a minute, what do you understand? 】
[Ah? I don't understand. What do you mean? ]
There was a lot of confusion on the barrage.
[I roughly understand a little bit, that is, there were two Liu Yi A on that day, one from five hundred years later + 1 day, and one from five hundred years later + 2 days. These two people appeared at the same time on the day of the meeting. The one from five hundred years later + 1 day went to lure Ye Dian away, and the one from five hundred years later + 2 days went to the meeting.]
【Then what? 】
[Then this is a mutually nested relationship. If Liu Yi from 500 years + 2 days was not injured, then Liu Yi who set out from 500 years + 1 day before him to lead Ye Dian away would not be injured.]
【What if I get hurt? 】
[Since the Liu Yi from the 500+1 day was injured, it is impossible for the Liu Yi from the 500+2 day to set out. ]
[So after these two nesting dolls, the Liu Yi who would go back five hundred years and appear in front of Ye Dian could only be the Liu Yi who successfully nested the dolls, that is, the Liu Yi who was not injured on the first day. So the Liu Yi who knew that he was not injured on the first day returned to this day to attend the meeting on the second day.]
[…Shit, this is too complicated. I’ll just watch them fill in the rules.]
【Fill in the rules +1】
In the twinkling starry sky, Xu Zichen touched his chin and said, "Can we fill in the rules now?"
"Of course you can," Huai Jiamu said with a strange expression, "but I suggest you hurry up."
"Why?" Fu Yandong finally found an opportunity to interrupt.
"Not enough time?" Bai Jinshu frowned slightly, "Ren Zhiling's appearance here means that the world she exists in is about to be destroyed?"
"No," Huai Jiamu straightened his cuffs under everyone's puzzled gaze, and said in a very calm tone, "Although I guided Liu Yi to complete the cycle and advanced the time for Xi Enze to research this element, it was not actually to speed up the exploration."
"Before this, I have encountered people who came to settle accounts with me more than once." He looked at Ren Zhiling calmly, "This identity is no less messy than hers."
"We are speeding up Xienze's research and development because if we don't leave here, we will be pursued for the crimes we instigated in creating this circular world."
"Of course, the power to create such a cycle is not something an ordinary time traveler can achieve," he pointed to the starry sky, "In order to forcibly save the future world, the initiator obtained some power that did not belong to him and created these cyclical worlds that cannot be stopped once they start rolling. Then, when the owner of the power wants to take back the power, he keeps shuttling between these worlds to avoid his pursuit."
Lu Changfeng: "Have you...encountered it more than once?"
As the initiators who stole each other's power, can the relationship between them be so good?
How come when he said it, it sounded as simple as two acquaintances meeting on the street, exchanging a few words and then parting ways?
"Are you hurt?" Bai Jinshu turned his head to look in the direction of Huai Jiamu.
His so-called eternal time should be able to fight against the gods in this space whose energy has been stolen, right?
"I'm fine. This identity has too many restrictions. I haven't faced him head-on." He pointed at himself, then at everyone else, "But if I stay here for too long, I'll be found as the instigator."
So it’s better to leave early.
Ren Zhiling's expression changed several times, and finally turned into a puzzled look: "But didn't you say that you are not the one who caused all this? Then what are you doing here?"
"Just think of us as visitors from outer space," Huai Jiamu said to her calmly, but rather than being calm, it was more like a lack of concern. "You don't have to care about what happened here. When you leave, you will forget what happened here just like yourself in countless cycles."
"You can take this opportunity to walk around," he motioned for her to look into the distance, "Don't you want to see what choices you made in other worlds?"
The exploration team members behind him had already gathered together. Xu Zichen hurriedly opened the backstage and spoke quickly: "This space has a time loop and two fixed time segments. The interval between the two time segments is 500 years. The cycle starts from the last 500 years and humans travel to the first 500 years, until the key elements in the first 500 years are studied?"
"Okay, pass," Song Jirou made an OK gesture, "You need to add the annotation of [Key Elements]. I added it directly. An element that will indiscriminately promote the growth of all organisms and shorten the growth cycle will cause the sky to fall when it is enriched to a certain amount."
If this element is indeed the culprit that caused the sky to fall, then it is very simple why people in the future will be helpless to do anything about it.
It's not because they don't know what the problem is, but because the problem lies with them.
In a future society created by artificial humans, will all people contain a part of this element from birth to growth? If you want to stop the disaster from happening, the only way is for all the current humans to die.
So, unable to prevent disasters in the future, the artificial humans turned their attention to the past.
"Second, in this space, the sky will fall after 500 years. The future man Liu Yi is the only aboriginal who can travel between two time periods. After colliding with the modern man Ren Zhiling, a new parallel world will be created. There can be more than one Liu Yi at the same time."
Lu Changfeng's hands moved rapidly on the keyboard: "Do you need to add to Liu Yi's definition and add that it is an artificial embryo created using part of Ren Zhiling's genes?"
"To add to Ren Zhiling," Huai Jiamu glanced at him, "the world split center born from the observed split parallel world, the relevant choices will derive new parallel worlds."
Lu Changfeng was stunned, and quickly added: "This one can pass."
"Is Ren Zhiling's mother like this in every world?" Yin Liantao couldn't help but ask.
Because you can see the future, you are too conceited, thinking that every path you choose is right, and you are overly controllable about everything?
If a person can see the future, why would he interfere so much in his children's future instead of choosing a better path for himself?
"She wasn't like this from the beginning," Song Jirou suddenly said, "In some parts of the world, even if she saw the future, she would choose some options with less good results."
But in such a world, no matter how hard you try, the result you will get will only be a not-so-good one. The more such things happen, the more Ren Zhiling's mother will be superstitious about the choice that looks best in other world lines when she sees these choices in the future. The failures in countless world lines will cause her emotions for the process of events to gradually weaken, and she will only focus on the results of the events.
As long as a good result is achieved, it is good, and as long as a bad result occurs, it is bad. After knowing the answer and choosing the ending in advance, what happens in the process becomes less important.
Her emotions were also gradually worn away in this process.
Each of Ren Zhiling's mothers continued to repeat, and finally came up with a behavioral template that as long as she chose this path, she would definitely get a good result, shaping the emergence of a special "parallel world maker" like Ren Zhiling.
"Third," Xu Zichen thought quickly, "All parallel worlds are destroyed at the same time. Among the parallel worlds derived from the collision between Ren Zhiling and Liu Yi, the world with a longer interval between world destruction will delay the destruction of the world with a shorter interval..."
It's like a tree. The more branches it grows, the longer the tree can extend outward. The new branches and leaves are extensions of the main trunk. They extend from the central trunk layer by layer, grow outward and then extend new branches, thus infinitely continuing the life of the entire tree.
"What is that?" He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
In the depths of the starlight not far away, something flashed, and the next second something seemed to be passing by.
It was like a huge shadow, slowly passing by from outside the starry sky, and then when it was about to pass here, the shadow suddenly stopped and turned back.
"Uh..." Song Jirou took a small step back cautiously, "Have we been discovered?"
Even if she didn't say it, everyone would have noticed the problem.
The commentator seemed to be more anxious than anyone else:
[Oh my god, if you're going to catch up with me, then why are you wasting time here? ]
【Wouldn't it be better to fill it out earlier? 】
【Go back and write. Just go back and it will be fine. 】
"How many rules are still missing?" Song Jirou quickly pulled the sleeve of Fu Yandong next to her.
Fu Yandong: "Maybe there are still one or two, but...but there is a logout time for the mid-range space, right?"
Only high-end spaces can complete all the rules and leave quickly.
Xu Zichen: “Write quickly!”
After filling out all the rules in the mid-range space, you need to wait for the settlement time before you can leave, but in the high-end space, you only need to fill out the verification and you can leave.
There are so many messed up parallel worlds in this space. As long as you fill in the key rules, you will be able to upgrade.
Song Jirou: "All parallel worlds are destroyed at the same time. Among the parallel worlds derived from the collision between Ren Zhiling and Liu Yi, the world with a longer interval between world destruction will delay and lengthen the destruction time of the world with a shorter interval."
"I need to add more information," Fu Yandong's voice sounded so tense that it was about to overflow. "This one didn't pass, the information is incomplete..."
"Is it still possible for us to leave here now?" Ning Xiao asked nervously.
Xu Zichen walked a few steps to Bai Jinshu and looked at Huai Jiamu: "Is there any way to get them to leave here first to fill in the rules? Should I stay and delay time with you?"
Since they have accepted Song Jirou's business order, they must ensure her personal safety. Let her go to a safe place first. They only need to delay time until all the rules are filled out and they can leave.
Huai Jiamu was able to escape for so long after transforming into the instigator's identity and being hunted by this being. He must have a trump card that can deal with this situation.
He was right, Huai Jiamu did have it.
But now it's in front of the camera, in full view of everyone. It's easy to explain that the person who created this cyclical world has the ability to stagnate space, but it becomes intriguing how a Foundation exploration team member could do this.
Not to mention that Bai Jinshu had called Huai Jiamu's name once in front of the camera before, but that time the live broadcast in the live broadcast room also stopped along with the time stop. Before anyone could react, he quickly wrote the last rule in the time stop space and logged out.
The recording of "Those Who Left Me" is still on the forum. If someone notices that the name sounds unusually familiar after the live broadcast, they will be able to hear She Mochu calling out this name one second before the camera went black.
By then, Huai Jiamu’s situation could no longer be concealed.
It would be a small matter if he could not hide it from investors, but it would be a big matter if the foundation discovered his other identity.
Who knows what will happen if you bring the core rules out of the exploration space...
Bai Jinshu's mouth twitched, and he quickly grabbed Huai Jiamu's hand to signal him not to speak: "No, I have a way."
"I have some weapons."
"Oh, yes," Xu Zichen realized belatedly, "You are still a wizard. The staff you brought with you on your first day here—"
His gaze slowly fixed on the giant "staff" that Ye Dian took out.
The rounded curve, smooth shell, and metallic luster of the individual cannon barrel, the crystallization of human industry, lay on the ground and looked at him.
【ah? 】
"You still have the spell materials with you—"
A box of various weapons appeared next to Ye Dian.
【ah? ? 】
[No, why are there these things in here? ]
"It looks like a musical instrument case—"
He stared silently at the sniper rifle in the guitar case.
【ah? ? ? 】
[Is this really what a mage should have? ]
[Don't ask me, I'm not a mage. ]
"Are you really a mage?" Xu Zichen silently looked up at Ye Dian.
"I really am." Ye Dian took out a magic wand as long as a chopstick, and sent out a thin white flash forward, with a "Biu".
Then he fired another shot forward, with a "bang" sound.
"But thermal weapons are obviously more useful than magic," he said.
[That’s true, but…]
【but……】
[But are all magicians like this? ]
[I completely understand. In the modern society where magicians are worthless, Master Ye, who has worked countless jobs, finally found his destiny as a magician. That is, he used modern magic to become a mobile warehouse manager for the arsenal. He finally got the iron rice bowl that countless magicians who are floating in the modern society dream of.]
"Which one do you think is more useful for that thing? If these are not enough, I have a lot more." Amid the shocked expressions of all the exploration team members whose attention was attracted by the gunshots, Bai Jinshu turned his head and looked in the direction of Huai Jiamu with a normal expression.
Huai Jiamu thought for a moment, and when the shadow was getting closer, he thought about it and said sincerely: "Each of them is not very useful, but if used together, it can still delay time."
After all, the other party can directly go back in time to before the explosion, but it is possible to buy a few seconds.
"I understand," Bai Jinshu pondered for a moment, picked and chose in his box full of things for a long time, and found a box that looked like it had only a huge button, "What about this one?"
【！ ！ ！】
【etc! ! ! 】
【He took out something!!!】
[Is this what a magician should have? ! ! Is this it? ! ! ]
"You can press this button first, and then press this button at the same time," Ye Dian solemnly put the box in Xu Zichen's hand on the screen, "You must press them at the same time, because the other side button is the safety."
“This is powerful.”
Xu Zichen: ???
"Wait a minute..." Facing a powerful enemy, his hands trembled, "Is it really okay for me to press this? I just want to delay that thing, not to send everyone away?"
"We are all teammates of the same organization, how could I betray you?" Bai Jinshu showed a very perfunctory smile, "A true hero never looks back at the explosion. Go ahead, you will definitely make it in time, trust your teammates."
The worst that could happen is that we would just pause time and complete all the rules before Xu Zichen died.
Anyway, his purpose of taking out this thing was just to divert the camera's attention, making all the investors and the camera look at Xu Zichen, so as to cover up what the two of them were doing behind the scenes.
Judging from Xu Zichen’s dazed expression, this method should have been successful, right?
*
It worked.
Sitting in the organization base of [0106], Xu Zichen's expression still contained a hint of disbelief.
"That was a close call just now, Brother Xu!" Lu Changfeng said sincerely, "It turned out that we just finished annotating the last rule after you pressed it, and after filling it out, we logged out of the space with one rule."
Xu Zichen: ...
He really wanted to say that Lu Changfeng was stupid, but he couldn't say it when he saw Lu Changfeng's extremely sincere expression.
He silently turned his judgemental gaze towards Huai Jiamu and Ye Dian.
What on earth were you two doing in secret?
He didn't believe that it would be such a coincidence in the end. How could a magician like Ye Dian suddenly take out such a thing? And the implication was that just press it randomly. Anyway, they would definitely leave here before pressing it.
How could he be sure?
“Trust your teammates.”
The teammates here couldn't be the other exploration team members from the Foundation who were temporarily matched with him and whose backgrounds were unknown. The only two people he made himself believe in could be him and Huai Jiamu.
Is it because Huai Jiamu has some hidden card that cannot be shown in front of the camera?
Xu Zichen: "Pregnant..."
He had just said half of his words when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Xu Zichen was about to ask a question but was stuck in the middle. He was stunned for a moment before looking towards the door. "Why is there someone knocking on the door of the organization's base?"
Didn't all of them appear directly in the base? He had always thought that the door was just a decoration.
"Someone from another organization who doesn't have the authority to visit us," Bai Jinshu stood up and walked towards the door, "I'll go take a look."
Logically speaking, if someone from other organizations comes to visit, they should first discuss with the people from the visiting organization and then obtain visitor permissions, right?
Why would you just knock on the door?
He checked the permissions, and two figures suddenly appeared at the door.
"Guan Hongyan?!" Xu Zichen's eyes suddenly widened.
The person who appeared at the door was a member of another organization that he had never seen before. He was wearing black clothes and was half bent over, supporting Guan Hongyan, who was covered in blood.
The air was filled with a sharp smell of blood, which immediately irritated everyone's nerves.
"Is the nurse from your organization here? If not, call her over here," the man in black looked around and quickly explained, "An accident happened to Guan Hongyan and our [Qirata] project. Three members of the exploration team who entered the project died, eight were injured, and one is missing and has not logged out. Now the whole organization is in chaos. Our healing ability is insufficient, so we can only barely keep them alive and send them here."
Xu Zichen hurried forward and wanted to take over Guan Hongyan, but found that he didn't know where to start.
"This way," the man lifted Guan Hongyan's hand and put it on Xu Zichen's shoulder, saying quickly, "I know your organization has a god-level nurse. If you have enough energy left after treating your own people, please come to our base. We will accept any price you offer."
"If you can cure our ace, our organization will owe you a favor, and you can ask for anything in the future."
Lu Changfeng suddenly stood up from the sofa.
The author has something to say:
I will enter the next instance tomorrow, the Foundation's Counterattack instance~
If it’s in time, I’ll change the cover tomorrow! Press and hold to support the next cover artist, and push her to submit the draft to me before tomorrow night (?)
