Chapter 408: Flesh, Blood, Weakness (End) (1st update + 2nd update + 41.6w nutrient solution 3rd update) [VIP]
On the big screen, darkness in the universe was surging. For a moment it rushed forward, and then swayed from side to side.
It was as if some unknown existence stretched out a tentacle forward and shook it left and right.
"Wait a minute," Before Bai Jinshu realized what was wrong, someone behind him suddenly took a step forward, "This is not normal."
Several investigators behind him moved forward.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling porthole, the "darkness" was moving slowly, as if circling in the universe.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jinshu turned and looked at them.
"Something seems wrong, senior," Gu Qiang muttered, a trace of solemnity flashing across his face, "It seems like something just passed by."
go through?
"We need to contact Area 9 on Earth in a moment," an investigator on the left hurried away, "something is not right in the universe."
The person who stayed behind whispered to him, "According to our observations, we haven't seen other K-type creatures come to this universe for a long time."
"Darkness" doesn't seem to be very popular among the Crimson community, but this is to be expected.
After all, in His opinion, He was just walking on the road and was attracted by a piece of delicious cake. After eating the cake, the plate of cake was naturally thrown aside.
From the perspective of other creatures, the "darkness" that follows the emotions emitted by creatures in the universe is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, entrenched on the planet and parasitic on the land. After absorbing all the vitality here and leaving behind a barren planet, it will ruthlessly abandon it and leave to look for the next target.
Therefore, among the creatures of the K-type, few are willing to come into contact with "darkness".
After all, even if most high-level beings don't care about the survival of mankind, if your neighbor's child is a psychopath who carries a kettle to boil ant nests every afternoon, you probably won't want to pay attention to him.
So after He set His sights on this universe, few other creatures of the K-type appeared here. The planets in the universe darkened one by one, and lost their vitality one after another. Until now, only the Earth is still waiting.
Waiting for the day when they can't hold on any longer, or waiting until the "darkness" leaves.
And just now, the "darkness" seemed to move.
This is not an illusion.
Because just when the investigators noticed this, an unknown air current suddenly surged in the place where the darkness had not touched, and the next second, an unspeakable position suddenly unfolded.
This force suddenly swept across the entire planet, even heading towards the investigators who stayed behind in the space station.
Everyone subconsciously felt a hair on the back.
There are not many investigators left in the space. Most of them returned here after dying in zone 08. After noticing She Mochu's plan, several people led by Gu Qiang came to explain the truth to him. In other places, more people are still busy with their own work.
At this moment, everyone shuddered subconsciously.
The investigators who had already become a piece of data would naturally not have their san points deducted, but at this second, everyone realized one thing.
Something is passing through the universe.
Darkness was aware of this existence before they were, and looked forward hesitantly and curiously.
"What is that?" An investigator behind Bai Jinshu turned pale instantly. "Did anyone on Earth summon something?"
Otherwise, who would pass by such a desolate planet?
The Milky Way is located in a very remote place in the universe, and the "darkness" is eating here. If it weren't for the call, who would come here for nothing? After all, no one on Earth would pass by an unfinished building on a deserted mountain that is not on the edge of the road for no reason, right?
"Impossible," someone rejected it outright. "All underground movements are within our detection. All believers of a specific target will be dealt with by us. Even the cult rebel organization that is being cultivated now does not believe in any specific target."
What's going on?
The crowd was panicked and confused.
Bai Jinshu: ...
Bai Jinshu: "...Do you have any way to get me back?"
He suddenly spoke, and Gu Qiang next to him was startled.
"Ah? Senior, why do you want to go back? Are you going to deal with that thing down there? Don't be impatient. The technology here is more advanced. Let's first see what it is from above. If it is a serious C-type incident, even though no C-type creatures have passed by for hundreds of years, we have a record..."
"I mean," Bai Jinshu held his forehead with his hand, feeling that even the metal mechanical body gave him a headache, "This thing might be related to me. Do you have any way to get me back to my body? The dead body?"
Even Gu Qiang realized that something was wrong.
"Do you remember what I said in zone01?" Bai Jinshu looked at Gu Qiang.
"Senior, you said that if we don't tell you, you will die in front of everyone." Gu Qiang said sincerely.
Bai Jin said: "...I said, if the people in heaven don't tell me the truth, I will descend from the sky, and then the seal in my left eye [SN-021] will destroy the world."
In fact, it doesn’t.
In [Blood, Flesh, Weakness], the only rule that has been verified is that the humans here have developed mechanical ascension technology and completely got rid of san check.
In other words, if the underground people are indeed in reincarnation again and again as he guessed, then they should have gotten rid of the san check. It's just that they may have been set up with some kind of program, or added a life bar that is very similar to the san value, so they appear to be in a state of losing san.
[SN-021], which is invincible in other worlds, may have no effect here.
The reason why he was in a hurry to go to zone01 instead of leaving this world and then coming back was because he hoped to threaten the "Heavenly Man" in this way.
"Threatening that if you don't tell me the truth, I will self-destruct and release the seal, and take the whole world with me to death" is a risky move. It requires a lot of emotional preparation and preceding event chains to make the people in heaven believe that he will really do this. At this time, She Mochu killed his junior and senior students at the University of Michigan without knowing it, was backstabbed by the Academy of Sciences he believed in, went back to the past and almost died from Yug's knowledge, and learned part of the truth about the world through the rebel organization. These things are connected one by one, enough to make people believe that his mental state is precarious, and it is not surprising that he does such things. The probability of him self-destructing at this time is very high.
Once he leaves and comes back, the people in heaven will doubt his motives and consider the possibility that he has obtained other cards during the time he was away.
The act of self-destruction would lose its threatening effect.
These are what Bai Jinshu thought about in the dozen hours before he decided to come to zone01. In his thinking, the "people in heaven" who have been controlling this world may be some evil believers, some data life forms, or people who have a deep hatred for the underground people and try to use Yug's power to seek revenge.
The only thing they didn't think about was that all this was just a painful and great struggle of one race before the final doomsday.
So at this point, Bai Jinshu didn't mind telling them what he had done.
"Do you know what God's descent means?" He rubbed his forehead and pointed to his mechanical right eye that no longer had a vertical pupil. "It means that the vertical pupil in this eye of mine is actually the eye of Yig. Of course, there are also sayings that His name is Bahui, or maybe He has another name in your universe. In short, this eye is from the Old One, and I am His human body walking in the world. When encountering certain accidents, I can let Him descend directly to me and complete a descent that does not require any summons or any rituals."
Gu Qiang: “…Ah?”
"Senior, aren't you a mixed-blood?" He trembled, and his expression looked like he was about to break, as if he was watching the Old One come to life.
"I never said I was." Bai Jinshu held his forehead and sighed.
Isn't it true that all the students of Michigan University in this world are mixed-race, so this is a preconceived notion?
You know, in the past worlds, his eyes were considered a monster.
"So now..." Gu Qiang's bean-sized tears hung tremblingly at the corners of his eyes, and it looked like he would faint in the next second.
“So now,” Bai Jinshu nodded and repeated his words in confirmation, “I’m dead, and God’s Descent should have succeeded. There really is an Old One on Earth now, and His actions are uncontrollable. Even I don’t know what He will do.”
"And I wanted to say this just now," he paused, "but your truth is even more shocking, so..."
He said sincerely: "I forgot."
But he was not very scared. Just like when the strange aura spread out just now, he only felt familiarity, not fear.
Out of some inexplicable emotion, he always felt that Yiger was very familiar and would not cause any trouble on Earth.
In addition, the Snake King himself is an old man who is relatively friendly to humans. This friendliness mainly means that if no one does anything to His people, that is, the snakes, He generally will not take the initiative to look for humans and attack them.
But if humans appeared before Him, that would be a different story.
Now there is a deep pit in the wilderness of zone01. Not to mention people, even no snakes can be found.
Gu Qiang was not as tolerant as him and instantly took a loud breath of cold air.
"Senior, you are really crueler to your teammates than to your enemies." He widened his eyes and ran towards a room without looking back, shouting as he ran, "I'll ask if I can put it back for you!"
Bai Jinshu: ...Isn't it because he thought they were enemies that he did this?
Otherwise, would he have nothing to do and just blow himself up for fun?
*
On the other side, when the exploration team members were conducting a database collision, a certain aura quietly passed through Glory Harbor.
Almost in an instant, everyone stopped what they were doing at the same time, as if they realized something, or as if something extremely terrifying had descended upon them at that moment.
All the cameras of the [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness] project in the live broadcast room instantly went black.
【What's going on? 】
[The screen went black due to excessive energy. 】
[This time it’s a real black screen. ]
[It is okay not to add this sentence, we can all see that it is a real black screen. ]
【This is not to avoid some kind of misunderstanding. 】
[So why is the screen black again this time? ]
[Too much energy?]
[Why is the energy too strong? ]
[…Perhaps, does anyone still remember? The Lord was pulled up to heaven after the death of God, which means…]
[Iger...]
[It is possible...]
[God's descent was successful? ]
【Ahhhhhhhhhh? 】
The barrage instantly became a mess.
If Gu Qiang, who was terrified along with his classmates, knew what was happening, he would probably be happy that so many people were terrified with him.
After the black screen, the content can no longer be played in an unknown space.
After that momentary tremor passed, the world fell into silence for a few seconds.
"What the hell is going on!" Ming Qingrong grabbed Jia Li's arm, "Are we going to stay here too?"
"Stop being such a pessimist and say something nice," Jia Li's voice was a little trembling, "What was that just now?"
His ears were sharp and he could almost hear the entire Rongguang Port suddenly become noisy. Everyone noticed that something appeared at that moment.
With their knowledge and perception, they couldn't tell what had appeared.
The natives couldn't, and obviously neither could the exploration team members.
Ming Qingrong and Jia Li were arguing in low voices whether they would send it or not, while someone had already opened the combat watch panel to confirm how long it would take them to escape.
Then he suddenly discovered that when no one knew about it, a certain name quietly lit up in the temporary group chat.
“Fuck!” Wei Ye thought he had seen it wrong, “Brother Chu is alive!”
"What?" When Zhang Lu was filling in the rules, his mind was filled with the light effects that failed to be judged.
"I said, Brother Chu seems to be alive," Wei Ye pulled Zhang Lu in shock, "Sister Zhang Lu, look!"
Zhang Lu shook his head which was bruised from the collision with the database and asked: "Brother Chu is alive?"
"He's really alive," Si Panxuan also opened the temporary group chat and said slowly after a long pause, "I said he should be fine..."
There were still seven people in the group chat. She Mochu's name turned bright again after being dimmed for a short while.
The exploration team members who were squatting on the edge of Glory Harbor opened up a temporary group chat. After a few seconds of collective silence, someone finally laughed.
"It's all right, it's all right..." Zhang Lu felt like his heart was jumping off a roller coaster. "It's all right, so this should be a success, right? Is this also part of Brother Chu's plan?"
Nobody knows.
However, the fact that She Mochu was not dead undoubtedly gave everyone a dose of reassurance. Zhang Lu stood up from the ground and stomped his legs which were numb from squatting. "Who in the temporary group chat can ask?"
"Li Qun has already asked." Si Panxuan gestured for her to look at her watch.
In those few seconds when everyone was stunned, Shi Liqun had already sent a message in the group chat with his mobile phone speed.
【Shi Liqun: @She Mochu welcome back. 】
She Mochu still didn't reply.
But everyone gained an unspeakable courage and peace of mind from his still-lit name.
"Now I finally know," Ming Qingrong complained softly, "how Brother Chu felt when he was backstabbed by the Academy of Sciences."
God knows, when he found out that She Mochu had died here, his breathing stopped for a moment.
At a certain moment, everyone was overwhelmed by the grief that they seemed too weak as ordinary people, too powerless in the world of Czar, and unable to fight back against Czar creatures.
Fortunately, She Mochu's name lit up again.
"Let's wait for news first," Zhang Lu cheered up, "Let's stop the database collision and wait for news from Brother Chu."
Could She Mochu’s sudden death and sudden resurrection be related to what he was doing?
In zone 01, which is six hours’ flying time from Rongguang Port, Bai Jinshu opened his eyes slightly.
The expected pain did not occur.
The investigators who stayed behind in the space station in the sky used an unconventional method to project the dead consciousness back into this body, and for this purpose, two transmitters on the space station were scrapped.
But in order to save the world from destruction, everyone feels it is worth it.
No one expected that She Mochu could be so cruel to him. It was hard not to suspect that if the people in heaven were not them but real villains, his purpose was actually to let Yige and the evil cultists fight each other.
For a moment, everyone looked at the mechanical body with a slight shock.
What kind of walking, world-destroying weapon is this!
Do any random Mi student in your universe have this much combat power? Can they summon the Old Ones to come to Earth at will? It sounds like your situation is not much better than ours!
Bai Jinshu naturally knew nothing about their psychology.
He just hung his head and wondered what to do when he got back.
In the current situation, Yig must have arrived. According to past experience, as the snake king, Yig's biggest weakness is usually his own people, that is, all the snakes on the earth. As his human body, Shemochu may be considered a special little snake in his eyes.
So when the little snake was in crisis and forced into a desperate situation, he did not hesitate to provide a little help, but apart from the little snake itself, the life and death of other humans had nothing to do with him.
The little snake's own mental state is also within this category.
This time he took the initiative to descend to the heavens, which means that nothing pushed him into a desperate situation. If there was anything, it would be the "darkness" entrenched in the universe.
No one knew what this thing was called. The students at the University of Michigan called it "Darkness" based on its appearance, and Bai Jinshu called it that too.
The best outcome is that Yige leaves without discovering anything, and when he comes back the divine descent is just over, and the pain will only last for another ten hours at most.
What's a little unfortunate is that Yig is also in this body, and he is forced to face this Old One. The human body is completely incapable of accommodating an Old One, and he will suffer even more excessive pain. Then he will need to return to human form with difficulty with only one eye as an anchor.
The worst result is that there is no way back. The body lying in zone 01 is likely to have turned into a complete snake. All the bones in the body have been reshaped, the flesh has been stretched, torn and fused, and the legs have turned into soft snake tails, crawling on the ground, winding out traces that are impossible for humans.
The pain of forcibly changing his shape would make his whole body seem to be reshaped. Every second would be excruciating pain that a human being could not endure. Every movement would cause the unfamiliar skin and nerves all over his body to tighten.
Hopefully, by then he'll be able to use the tip of his tail to find the combat watch, input the rules, and leave as soon as possible.
In short, no matter which body it is, severe pain is inevitable.
Bai Jinshu was put back into the body with almost a heroic mood.
He thought of countless possibilities, but he never expected that the moment he opened his eyes, he would not feel any pain.
There were no after-effects that would occur after a descent of spirits, and his entire body was submissive as if nothing had happened. Bai Jinshu blinked several times before he realized that nothing seemed to have happened.
It’s not like… nothing happened.
After he blinked, he realized that he was not lying on the cold floor, but in someone's arms.
Even though he knew that returning to his body would involve excruciating pain that ordinary people could not endure, the part of him that did not flinch now shuddered belatedly.
Maybe he feels guilty.
At this time, at this place, there is probably only one person who can appear here.
The person holding him should be Huai Jiamu who was waiting for him outside zone01.
For a moment, this trembling guilty feeling almost overshadowed his heroic spirit of sacrificing his life for the sake of justice, prompting him to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep, thinking it would be better to just go back.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to close my eyes now.
He felt a familiar hand supporting his back, and he was turned around to face a familiar face.
Huai Jiamu's face.
His expression was unusually calm, so calm that it didn't seem like someone had witnessed a miracle of resurrection. Only Bai Jinshu could see that he was not calm.
He was angry, scared, and panicked, but at this moment, he showed himself a calmness that suppressed a thousand thoughts.
There was no light source in zone 01, and the environment was quiet. Only the overlapping breathing of two people could be heard. Just when Bai Jinshu was about to stand up to this atmosphere and start a conversation to ask him why he was here and how much he had seen, Huai Jiamu finally spoke.
The first thing he said was, "You sent everyone away just to threaten the heavenly beings with the divine descent in zone 01?"
His expression was calm, but his words contained a hint of accusation and insight.
The courage that Bai Jinshu had accumulated in just a few minutes disappeared in an instant.
He now wishes he could just stay in heaven.
This question is not right, you can admit it or not.
Admitting it was tantamount to telling Huai Jiamu that he had been planning for several days, and the only solution he got was to die without telling anyone else. He chose the most dangerous method, the one that least cared about his own life and death, and the one that was most likely to fail, just for a B+ space in the foundation.
Anyone who tells this to others will find it unbelievable and ask if he is crazy.
Although after entering this space, Bai Jinshu never felt that he was normal.
Anyone would collapse in this state, but his collapse was more thorough, and he was more decisive when he was desperate, as if he was a natural gambler in his bones who was ready to go all out at any time.
Anyone who asked him this question in the exploration team would frankly admit that although he had lost some of his sanity in that state, he had not lost his judgment. This method was the only way to obtain the core rules of this world, and his threat would definitely make the people in heaven compromise.
But it was Huai Jiamu who asked this question.
He was kept in the dark, told him to be careful in zone01, and even sent him to Huaijiamu here with his own hands.
He realized belatedly that he was feeling extremely guilty and looked away, not wanting to look into that overly calm face.
He had ten thousand ways to argue at this moment, and ten thousand ways to make the other party give up questioning, but at this moment, he couldn't use any of them.
After all, a few minutes ago, Huai Jiamu might have watched him die.
How would this person feel when he saw the ten-second countdown end and thought he was really dead?
Would he think of the connection between the two of them that might not have been found out yet? Would he think it was absurd that he died in a B+ project? Would he think this move was stupid and regret that he never found any clues and stopped it during the six hours from Glory Port to Zone01?
Would he... be as calm as he appears now?
Also, where is Iger?
The aura he felt before was very similar to that of Huaijiamu. Could it be that Huaijiamu had defeated Yige?
His mind was noisy with countless messy thoughts, and his eyes subconsciously avoided the other person's gaze.
Unfortunately, the watch started to vibrate wildly.
His teammates on the other side must have also discovered that he had come back to life, and were frantically asking questions in the group.
Following the violent vibration of the watch, Bai Jinshu realized that the person who was holding him might not be as calm as he appeared.
Under the vibrations of the watch that was receiving the information, something with a smaller amplitude and a higher frequency was also trembling slightly.
In this tremor, he suddenly realized belatedly.
The person in front of him, his calm accusations and silent questions, were just holding back.
"...I'm sorry." He was silent for several seconds and apologized slowly.
When he was considering threatening the people in heaven with "self-destruction", he indeed did not consider other people's feelings.
When part of his mind was held hostage by anger and the gambler in his heart, leaving only cold rationality, he indeed excluded everyone, including his synchronization recovery device.
He even concealed it from everyone on purpose.
So he said sorry sincerely.
Of course, if the question was raised by someone else in the exploration team who he met by chance, Bai Jinshu would not be able to reflect on himself at all. He might even tell them with a clear conscience that this is the norm in the world of K.
You can move forward only if you have the determination to die. Otherwise, what is the use of having courage when facing those supreme beings?
It would be a blessing if you could threaten them by risking your life. There are many investigators whose death would not cause any ripples.
In the world of K'se, your death can have a certain impact on K'se creatures, which is already a very remarkable thing. He can use death to threaten the cultists and the mysterious existence that controls the world. That is his ability.
Who among you can do it?
Only Huai Jiamu would make him reflect.
Unfortunately, the only person who asked this question and received an apology didn't seem to appreciate it.
There was a flash of "I don't accept this apology" in Huai Jiamu's eyes.
Bai Jinshu had a headache.
He really didn't have any plan for what to do if Huai Jiamu got angry.
The impulse after deciding to self-destruct now began to send him delayed punishment, the first of which was brought by Huai Jiamu, who witnessed his death and then resurrection.
For a moment, he didn't know how to make Huai Jiamu calm down.
Do I have to promise myself that I won’t do it again next time? There will be a next time.
You said you would never come to such a dangerous space again? Who knows if you will come again?
Promise yourself that you won't die? Everyone will die, and he is not a god. What's the point of such nice words?
He really felt a little regretful now, but what he regretted was that he should have flown the aircraft to zone01 alone. Anyway, it was better than enduring this torture here.
"Okay, this was an accident. It won't happen again in the future. I promise." He held up three fingers and promised.
However, this promise did not elicit any response. The other person in zone01 was still staring at him with unmoving eyes, as if waiting for his next words, or as if it was a silent condemnation.
This was an unyielding attitude. After all, the person in his arms had indeed died in the deep pit of zone01 a few minutes ago.
Okay, okay…
Bai Jinshu took a deep breath, and as if he had given it all up, he expressed his apology with his actions.
In other words, he dropped another big bomb in an attempt to overshadow his previous actions, a pure ostrich move.
He kissed her.
He did achieve part of his goal. The person he kissed was stunned for a long while. He never thought that he would end the confrontation in this way. In the dark space, another breath suddenly approached, and the gas almost hit his face, causing a slight shudder.
Bai Jinshu doesn't kiss people very often, and most of the time he uses borrowed shots during filming. After all, a movie is short in duration, and there are very few crews that would arrange a love line for the villain and squeeze in a kissing scene in such a short time. But given his profession, he still has enough theoretical knowledge.
Not to mention that his current plan is to explode as much as possible.
The air in zone 01 was still full of dust that had been stirred up by them but had not yet settled. If there was a light source at this time, one would be able to see that the two people seemed to be in a sky full of stars.
The touch of lips and tongue, deliberately created, the ambiguous breathing sounds and the sound of water almost drowned out the breathing sounds and heartbeat sounds.
Bai Jinshu originally chose this method in order to get around the matter, but at the moment when they really came into contact, he suddenly realized that his sanity might not have returned yet, and what drove him to act were all instincts and a messed up brain.
Otherwise he would never choose to use one bomb to cover up another bomb.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
The next second, angry lips and teeth caught up, wanting to bite down as if to vent their anger, but paused at the moment of being about to exert force, and finally turned into a gentle suck.
"Get away with it..." Their lips and tongue pressed against each other, and their voice was unclear, but the gnashing of teeth was evident in it.
Inappropriately, Bai Jinshu actually felt a sense of amusement and satisfaction as if he had finally exposed someone's superficial efforts.
His calmness was an act, and his indifference was also an act. As early as when he said the first word "I'm sorry", if he hadn't been holding on for a breath, someone would have blurted out "It's okay".
Is it so easy to fool?
Sensing his relief at having succeeded, the other person in zone01 couldn't help but tightly grasp his wrist, making it impossible for him to get away with it a second time.
The exploration team members in Rongguang Port who were staring at the temporary group chat never received any news from their brother Chu.
The person who could reply to the message had red marks on his wrist from being pinched, his eyelashes drooped to cover his pupils that were shining with golden light, and his neck to back was like a taut bow with an arrow on the string ready to be shot, and his whole body was trembling like an electric current that he could not stop.
The trembling that occurs when encountering dangerous creatures.
Something seeped in through his pores and lingered on his skin, grabbing every inch of his bones and piercing his breath sharply, gently, quickly, and slowly.
The watch was still vibrating wildly.
But unfortunately no one cares about it anymore.
The owner of the watch originally wanted to move away to breathe, but the moment he showed the intention to leave, he was pushed back.
Bai Jinshu: ...
It's really a hearty experience of bringing trouble upon oneself.
He would never again laugh at the scripts he had acted in where the male and female protagonists could always resolve any conflict, no matter how big, by kissing.
...it really can solve the problem.
It's just a bit time-consuming.
*
It was several hours later before the exploration team saw the reply.
[She Mochu: I'm fine. I've already got the final clue. Do you want me to fill it out directly or wait a little longer?]
The six "Wang Chu Ge Shi" who had been waiting anxiously finally moved.
【Wei Ye: Brother Chu, Brother Chu, Brother Chu, you scared us to death.】
[Ming Qingrong: Brother Chu, are you okay? Do you need our support now? ]
【Jia Li: Brother Chu, we are still in Rongguang Port. 】
【Zhang Lu: Brother Chu, how are you feeling? 】
[Si Panxuan: Wait a minute, why do you have to wait any longer? ]
Finally someone realized the other meaning in his words.
Bai Jinshu tapped on the keyboard: [She Mochu: The situation in this world is a bit special. The six exploration teams that came in before have actually been noticed. The people in the sky want to see us. ]
In fact, it was the entry of the previous six teams that made the investigators in the space station aware of a problem. After Bai Jinshu's threat of self-destruction, they finally connected these strange souls that did not belong to the database together, and realized that they were most likely investigating something.
The existence of the Foundation could not be revealed. Bai Jinshu picked out some truths and told them, such as that they were all investigators from other universes who came here to investigate the life forms in this world of K. However, when they saw that Tianshangren was going so far, they could not suppress their anger, especially when they found out that the University of Michigan was being used by those who were seeking fame and reputation, and they became furious.
In short, it justifies the existence of the exploration team members.
Hearing that there is a group of investigators who are trying to find out what happened in this world, the investigators in the space station want to contact them in person.
The main purpose is to send them off for the last time.
Investigators from any world are kind-hearted when faced with like-minded people who are willing to sacrifice their lives to pursue the truth.
However, Bai Jinshu now gets a headache when he thinks of the group of people in the sky who were watching him together.
The question of why Yige didn't show up has not been solved, but it is most likely related to Huai Jiamu. He managed to get away with it with great difficulty, and it would be the same if he brought it up again.
When the people in heaven learned that he would leave in a dozen hours, they came to meet the other members of the exploration team.
Perhaps in order to liven up the atmosphere, Gu Qiang also came.
When he appeared in front of the other exploration team members and saw the other six shocked faces, Bai Jinshu's unhappiness finally subsided a little.
The dangers of the world have never gone away. After hearing the final truth, everyone chose to walk around the earth with these investigators one last time.
They walked through these nine carefully crafted areas for the first time.
Walking past the wanderers living in the outside world, seeing the human settlements covered in despair, the effective means of protection has never been the large-scale biological defense devices covering the entire area, but the wanderers who were driven out of the city.
The people who are struggling to survive living on the edge of the city exude a heavy despair, forming a circle and a natural line of defense against despair.
Walking past people struggling to make ends meet, I saw an area in each region that had been intentionally cultivated. People living at the bottom of the society did not understand why life was so difficult, not knowing that they had also lived in the carefree Garden of Eden nine hundred years ago.
The urban villages in zone 08 bear 80% of the despair in the entire area. Everyone discriminates against the urban villages, and everyone used to be a resident of these villages. Yang Lifeng once tried to lead them out of the quagmire, but when he was about to succeed, someone stopped it in time and put this unyielding soul into a gentle and polite family.
The mixed-blood investigators who were on the front line against the Crimson creatures, and the people who had sacrificed their lives in a summoning ceremony were still struggling with this belief nine hundred years later. They believed again and again, were betrayed again and again, repeated the pain of the past, and killed their own kind again and again.
Qiu Xianjun didn't know why all of her classmates died in an operation, nor did she know that the pills she made were actually meant to catalyze their deaths. And that under this false sky, more people with ideals would appear in the future. No one knew that dying silently at the hands of their own kind and losing all proof of their humanity was their destined fate.
Walking past people running around in the city, cars coming and going, the lights in each area are flashing different lights, there are always people falling into despair, some being thrown into the abyss, and some being chosen by luck to become the source of despair.
Ji Yu may never realize that the three murders he has committed may be related to the survival of the world. As part of despair, they have been exposed to a corner of the truth. The truth of the world was revealed to them by the defecting students living in the urban village. Their predetermined fate made up of data was disturbed under the pretext of "paying with their lives", which destined them to be watched by the people in heaven and end up dead.
Walk past the rebel group.
Their teachings are well-intentioned, but calmly accepting death and calmly facing creatures of the Crimson type will alleviate the despair that emanates from people's hearts, so no one will allow these words to spread in the settlement.
Walk past the activated large anti-anti-tank device.
In a blood-red world, the once passionate color will also bring despair to people and hope to the world.
Finally, the indignant people walked past.
They said that the people in heaven wanted the people below to live a life worse than death, and they had no idea that they were passing by the instigator, just as they did not know that in the starry sky farther away outside the protective shield, happiness and beauty represented destruction.
Finally it stopped on a pitch-black ground.
"If it is still possible," someone pointed to the land in the distance that was emitting blue light and said, "when the darkness is gone, we will build a new city there."
Although the fluorescent light on the ground will not cause any harm to those who have become digital gods, being prepared for danger is also a way to prevent him from sweeping over again.
"By then, all human memory will be erased," Gu Qiang said, "and we'll start over."
The last ten minutes.
The exploration team members finally gathered together and began to fill in the final rules.
[This unknown space is the cyber future timeline space of the Cthulhu worldview. There exists an unknown Cthulhu creature that feeds on positive emotions. This space...]
Zhang Lu stopped typing on the keyboard and looked at Bai Jinshu.
“That space,” he said, “where there is more hope, there is more despair.”
And one group of indigenous people is gaining hope by creating despair.
“This rule is time-limited,” he added. “When the starry sky becomes silent, if the native inhabitants of that space still exist, the world starts anew.”
At the moment when the rules were about to fall, everything was silent.
Time stopped.
Everything was stopped.
Bai Jinshu turned around and looked at Huai Jiamu in confusion.
"It's you..."
Did you stop time?
He had countless questions in his heart, such as, can you use the authority of the evil god in this space now? Is Yige's disappearance related to you? Why did you suddenly stop time here? Is there anything you want to say?
But at this moment, he didn't know what to say.
After walking through these nine areas again and seeing all this again after learning all the truth, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss, and he almost felt like he could no longer face this world.
Very bitter, yet very faint feeling of depression and powerlessness.
No one is the eternal savior, and no one can always save every universe he passes through.
"We can seal this place temporarily," Huai Jiamu brushed his fingers under his eyes and stroked the small brown mole, "We can deal with it later when we have a solution."
What happened to the indigenous people in this world had nothing to do with him, but he did not want to see the destruction of such a world that had caused Bai Jinshu to collapse several times.
So he was willing to impose an eternal time on this space.
"The Foundation will allow..." Bai Jinshu was halfway through his words when a hand gently pressed on his lower lip.
The person opposite him narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes, which never fluctuated.
The smile was fleeting. Maybe he was seeing things, or maybe it really existed.
"So, hush," said Huai Jiamu, "this is a secret between the two of us."
The space belonging to [0106] can stay there forever from the moment they fill in the rules and leave, as long as they do not apply for development.
No one knows what happened here.
During this period of time, everything here will be still, the time of the entire universe will be forever suspended at this moment, and all the pain and despair will also remain at this moment.
They will wait unconsciously for a hope that may never come.
But when they wake up from the eternal time of unconsciousness, the next second the second the second hand moves, the world will return to its previous state.
We start over.
The author has something to say:
This is probably the last Cthulhu copy in this book. The mechanism of the Cthulhu copy is too difficult to imagine. There is not a drop left after squeezing out three sugary ones. But it is hard to say whether there will be a burst of inspiration in the future, and suddenly think of a more interesting core mechanism, and then add some meat to the leg.
After all, this contains three copies of Cthulhu's private goods, and even the label has Cthulhu in it (eyes moved)
This year I wrote three Cthulhu stories that I really liked, and cut off a lot of twisted leg meat that I couldn't find normally. I hope that the Cthulhu world that Han Tang likes, where despair and hope are mixed, and powerlessness and struggle go hand in hand, doesn't scare those who haven't yet entered the pit but just want to understand Cthulhu.
From the investigator who was running around in "Those Who Left Me" to save the world but was one step away from winning, and would have failed if the protagonist had not entered, to the people in "Spore Memory" who have coexisted with Cthulhu creatures for thousands of years and hidden their history generation after generation, and the universe in "Flesh and Blood", where the world gets better day by day, but the world gets worse day by day, and the future is full of despair, and only then will the future be full of hope, these three stories are probably Hantang's complete understanding of Cthulhu's worldview.
In the world of K-series as I understand it, despair, or powerlessness, is the emotion that runs through it all. Everyone is too small and too powerless. Even the protagonist cannot have a happy ending and cannot win the battle against the evil god that is much stronger than himself.
In such a universe, unfortunately, human beings cannot save the world with love, or hope, courage, determination to die, and all beautiful, firm and positive emotions. They can only delay the predetermined outcome. Even these beautiful emotions will not make the world better, but will make it worse.
So [flesh, blood, bitterness, weakness] is really bitter and weak, and struggle and pain may not change the predetermined outcome, but we have to allow for someone who will foolishly choose to walk into the not-so-gentle night for something and then become a star.
(Such a long speech. Why do I feel like I am finished with the three books of the series of K-series? I am reluctant to let go. Han Tang promises that the next book will be a happy one to adjust the atmosphere [立字据.jpg])
