Because the building was so bright, his vision was completely white, and the ground under his feet glowed like diamonds.
“…”
He tried to look down, but could only see the thick night fog. He could not see the streets, nor the millions of people who were blocked from view. At this moment, his every word, every concession, every decision he made would affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
The combined weight of these people is enough to crush anyone.
"God, you are unwilling to accept this." Su Ming'an said softly, "But I am also unwilling to accept this."
"What are you unwilling to accept? Why are you unwilling to accept it? Why do you want to take on the responsibility of civilization?" The god slowed down his tone:
"Su Ming'an, when you hand over the Dawn System to those people, you will no longer have room to fight back. When [Hewei] officially enters the ruins world, the fate of you 100 million people can only be driven to the edge of the world, exiled, oppressed, and regarded as inferior. Those people can use a soft knife to cut your flesh and slowly starve or freeze you to death, or use years of technical and class oppression to rule you and turn you into slaves."
"Will you be grateful to the 100 million people who survived? Perhaps, but most of them will definitely hate you, abuse you, and even want to kill you. Every second of life is torture for them, but the great cause of 'the continuation of civilization' requires them to survive and reproduce, and then let their descendants become inferior people for generations. They hold the hope of reviving civilization, but are humiliated and oppressed for their entire lives."
"And you will be the one who suffers the most. Without the Dawn System, what can you use to be their 'God'? When some people start to regret, and some people start to rebel in desperate situations of extreme hunger, and direct their anger at you who made the decision in the first place - what can you use to appease them? They won't care whether you saved the lives of 100 million of their people, they will only think that you killed the other 2.7 billion people."
"This is civilization, this is human nature. Su Mingan."
"You are only nineteen years old. You have no obligation to make this decision. Let it go."
After the god finished speaking, Su Mingan's ears were filled with silence.
His ears were numb from the cold, with frost hanging on them. Su Mingan raised his wrists little by little, his eyes fixed on the six lines on the back of his hand, staring at them for a long time.
"Nineteen years old." Su Mingan said: "Akto was also nineteen years old when he died in civilian fire."
"So you want to be him?" the god said, "a fleeting dawn?"
"No." Su Mingan shook his head.
"The dawn has its own origin."
"I will not be the dawn itself."

[Eden Bionics Core Laboratory]
【198km from Central Building】
A khaki shadow passed through the mechanical wall, rushed through the mechanisms, and used fire to blast open any password door that could not be cracked. After the violent breakthrough, Su Lin arrived at an ice-white room.
This is the Eden Bionic Core Laboratory located on the edge of the Measurement City. Su Lin pushed open the door and saw rows of sealed hibernation cabins that looked like wooden stakes.
He opened these hibernation chambers one by one, and when he was about to open the eighth chamber, the Dawn System emerged behind him.
"Intruder, you do not have permission to enter here, please leave." said the Dawn system.
Su Lin ignored the Dawn System and directly opened the hibernation chamber, where he saw a sleeping body. The body was quietly soaking in the green liquid, with drooping hair and closed eyes.
"Trespasser, I repeat, you do not have permission to enter, please leave." The Dawn System floated to his side.
Su Lin still ignored it.
He stared at the body and whispered, "So that's it... This is how the 'quantum ghost' is created. Through stimulation such as high fever and severe cold, the human consciousness is subjected to great pain, allowing the consciousness to escape from the body and merge into the vacancy reserved in the lower dimension, thus creating an electronic ghost that does not exist in any dimension visible to the naked eye. And the Dawn Code is this vacancy reserved in advance."
He took the body out of the hibernation chamber. Golden light fluctuated around him. The next moment, the body disappeared. No one knew where he had hidden it.
After doing all this, he raised his head: "Dawn System, I have a question."
Dawn System: “…”
Su Lin said: "The collective unconscious refers to the universal human spirit of countless similar experiences preserved by heredity. It is a possibility that is deposited in the human brain tissue in the form of an unclear memory, more like a primitive image or distant echo of human primitive consciousness. Dawn System, have you heard of this concept of collective unconsciousness?"
Dawn System: "Trespasser, I am not obliged to answer your questions."
Su Lin said: "I seem to have a vague understanding of your form of existence. Dawn System, if I'm not mistaken, [Hewei] will also have a similar you."
The Dawn system said: "I don't understand what you are saying. In the words of you players, your current behavior can be summed up in one word, namely, 'Riddler'."
Su Lin smiled, closed the hibernation hatch, and left the Garden of Eden. The Dawn System stood there, watching him go away. Its eyes were filled with mixed white light, and finally slowly returned to calm.

[Outer City Peace Dove Hospital]
【12km from Central Building】
"I regret to inform you that your condition of Rose Blood Syndrome Type 2 is in the advanced stage."
In the white space, the doctor slowly pushed a medical notice to the patient:
"There is currently no effective treatment for this disease, and it can only delay the time of death. If you buy a specific medicine, a course of treatment is seven days, and each course is 10 hertz, which should allow you to live a few months longer."
