Chapter 141 Eternal Destination
When Shi Qing, Rose Head and the others walked into the church again, they saw me staring at the golden brain in the transparent jar.
"...What happened?"
Rose Head asked.
I shook my head, wanting to glare at his head but feeling it was a little too obvious.
"We have finished talking, now you can accept me."
The golden brain swayed in the liquid. "But I suggest you collect the others first. Otherwise, I'm afraid 'he' will throw me out again."
I:……
It's hard to imagine how disgusting this brain is, and he himself knows it.
"I won't. "
A familiar voice echoed throughout the church.
Then the transparent jar seemed to have entered some kind of vacuum environment, and the entire jar was forcibly squeezed, and the brain inside and the fine sand at the bottom of the jar were squeezed together... It can be seen that it was really made by oneself, and the brain was only deformed but not broken.
In just a moment, he turned into a ball of recycled garbage, and then was crushed into a point of light and disappeared.
Simple and crude.
...Lan Zi's moves were more agile than the others.
How much do you hate this brain?!
"You should leave now. I'll open site 01 in ten minutes."
The church bells rang, and I could feel everything around me moving backwards, back from the way we came in, as if time was flowing backwards, and then I was standing at the door of the cat cafe.
There were only Rose Head and I left.
The lights in the cafe were off, and there was a lock on the door with a small wooden sign in the shape of a cat that read "Closed."
"What about them...?"
I asked the rose-head next to me in a daze.
"Shi Qing returned to the overlapping dimension, and the others returned to 'his' place."
"If that's what you're asking."
He brushed off the invisible dust on his body and stretched out his hand to me.
"Next, I'll take you to Site 01. I can roam around in various dungeon spaces because I was there as a guide from the beginning."
"Just like your first copy, I am also your guide."
I held his hand and he led me forward, then slowly walked on the air towards the red moon in the sky. Below was a lively carnival, with tens of thousands of contestants wandering around in the various venues of the carnival, and all kinds of monsters walking alongside them. It looked like a real carnival here.
Then we went higher and higher, but the red moon was still very far away from us.
"Are we going to the moon?"
I asked him.
"No, I just want to show you the better world that 'I' have created for you."
"No, I just want to show you the better world I created for you."
Rose-head's voice became two, overlapping each other, and the pager on my waist also lit up blue and purple.
"He" is here.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion or most of the slices have returned to “him”, but his voice has also become a little different from the beginning.
Filled with…more emotion.
To put it bluntly, it doesn't look like a personal computer.
At first he was as stiff as an AI, or not very intelligent at that.
But now I feel like a human being.
[…A very sharp statement.]
Rose Head held my hand. As for whether it was Rose Head inside now, I won’t go into details. Anyway, it was the same person, looking down at the entire space from a drone’s perspective. This kind of perspective had existed before, but it had never been so slow.
Especially since he said this was a world created for me.
This sentence is a bit too strong.
——Because I have no experience of the past, I cannot accept such heavy love.
Then I thought about what the Golden Brain had said to me.
Even out of respect for this emotion, I have to go back to the beginning.
It's like cause and effect are reversed. I got the result first, so I have to plant the cause.
——Even if the reason may be unacceptable to him.
I walked in the air for a long time, so long that I felt that ten minutes was a bit too long, and then a door appeared in front of me. The door was a bit simple, a small wooden door with mottled red paint and a brass handle. There was a houseplate hanging on the door with 1863 written on it.
It doesn't look like something modern, but has a strong sense of the times.
"Okay, I can only take you here. From now on, you have to walk in."
Rose Head was standing behind me. I turned around and looked at him, and he waved at me.
"I hope we can meet soon—even though it wasn't me who picked you up."
He said so.
"But I still sincerely hope, Sangsang, that you will be happy. Do you still remember the rose hairpin I gave you?"
I touched the hairpin; it was still stuck in my hair.
"Use it when you need me."
I didn't ask whether they were still useful to me if they didn't exist in the past.
——They must all know this, so they gave me so many things.
I turned and placed my hand on the brass handle of the wooden door.
"Bon Voyage."
His voice sounded from behind.
"Bon Voyage. "
There is also a blue-purple sound.
It seems like there's also the voice of every Slice Brother I've ever met.
Then I pushed the door open.
——————————
Site 01, the Eternal Destination
This is the past and the future, our eternal birthplace and destination.
My dear brother, this is reality.
…
How should I put it, although I know this is the past.
But this is too much.
I...wasn't born yet.
I was in the mother's womb, immersed in amniotic fluid or an egg or something, and next to me was the protagonist who looked exactly like me... and he had his eyes closed.
System - Can we launch it so early?
[…Ahem, there's nothing we can do, host. This isn't the initial launch time, so we can't decide to have you awaken after birth.]
So…how long until I’m born?
I am a mermaid now, with a small tail, like the Q-version form I saw before, so I should be fully developed - just waiting to be born.
The protagonist of this world is indeed a mermaid.
The space for movement was limited, and the protagonist had his eyes closed... and then he opened them.
The golden eyes looked at me and I looked at him. We just stared at each other through the somewhat turbid liquid, as if whoever looked away first would lose.
——Although it is hard to say whether he has any concept of winning or losing now.
I think it's mostly curiosity.
Then he moved. The narrow space didn't give the two of us much room to move, but it was enough for him to reach out his hand.
The tiny hands slapped my face.
It didn't hurt, but it was a little weird.
[It feels like watching a parent-child interaction...]
[It may seem like there are only two fish present, but in reality there is also a system and an evil god.]
You two are ignored.
But why did the system signal suddenly become better? It was obvious that the special phone could not be used.
I looked at the gray items in my backpack.
[No one in this space is occupying all the phone lines anymore! The timeline is starting to normalize, and the overlapping space hasn't appeared yet, so the main system is fully under my control.]
【Tongtong, resurrection! 】
Just as my mind was wandering, the hand on my face was withdrawn, then his tail moved, and then I felt a squeeze coming from the outside.
At the same time, the liquid that soaked us began to slowly decrease, but at the same time, the film covering our bodies began to dissolve.
Wait a moment.
Is this the birth???
Are mermaids viviparous or ovoviviparous?
【Don't talk about science when it comes to fantasy creatures, host! 】
I closed my eyes and decided that it was better not to think too much about many things at this time.
Then I was born.
With the protagonist next to him.
Then I could feel that we were in water, but it was not the ocean, more like some narrow pool.
It can't be a bathtub, right?
"Asu Yue—it's born. Are you okay?"
A male voice said this.
"but……"
"What's wrong? What happened to my child?" A weak female voice asked anxiously, "Did we succeed?"
I couldn't open my eyes yet, but I felt someone approaching me and then lifting me out of the water. The moment I came into contact with the air, I suddenly felt suffocated.
Before I started crying I heard another cry next to me.
It is the protagonist's cry.
"We succeeded... They are so beautiful."
"It's just as beautiful and magical as described in the book... It's completely different from a shoddy patchwork, it's completely natural."
The man said so.
"...Yes, they are beautiful."
"If I hadn't just seen you being pulled out of the water with my own eyes... I wouldn't have believed they were my children."
The woman's voice was still filled with heavy gasps, and the pain of childbirth had not yet completely subsided.
The feeling of suffocation in the air is getting stronger and stronger. I have to cry, otherwise I won’t be able to switch my lungs to breathe. If I suffocate myself to death, I will never be able to call myself a mature office worker again.
It's so embarrassing.
"Wow--"
Fresh air rushed into my lungs, and then I smelled a strong smell of kerosene and various strange flavors.
I opened my eyes.
See where I am now.
A dark little room with two kerosene lamps lit. The small window was covered with heavy curtains, but some light from outside could be seen coming in. In front of him was a woman lying in the bathtub. She had dark brown curly hair and looked like a mixed race of Eastern and Western people. Her white nightgown was half wet, and her legs were soaked in the muddy water.
I subconsciously moved my tail.
Wait, me, tail.
Her legs.
ah? ? ?
I urgently looked at the protagonist who was still crying next to me.
He also has a tail!!!
White curly hair, pale skin, and a fluorescent blue-purple tail.
That's right, we are both fish.
Why is it that this woman who obviously gave birth to us, our biological mother, looks human???
Is this a world without reproductive isolation?
Then the protagonist and I were wrapped in two pieces of cloth.
Only then did I notice that the man holding us was a typical Westerner.
Blonde hair, blue eyes.
It looks nothing like either of us.
So he is not our father.
"They are just as described in the scriptures—but why are they twins?"
The man said this to the woman.
"Wouldn't it be better to have two? With two monsters like this... our leverage would be even greater."
The woman struggled to stand up from the bathtub and began to wash the dirt off her body.
"I carried them for two years and I couldn't accept it if I failed."
"Once they become little monsters that belong only to me, I can...take back everything that once belonged to me."
It sounds like a cool story about a heroine who makes a three-year pact for revenge.
【……】
[There's no need to comment at this time, right, host? ? ]
I listened quietly to what the two people said. The language they spoke sounded like English, but with a heavy accent. However, I could understand it. I looked at the protagonist next to me. He was looking at me with his eyes open.
I don’t know if he understood.
It’s okay if you don’t understand.
No child wants to hear that.
Because this shows that their mother does not love them.
To have them be born just for a purpose - that's too cruel for children.
But fortunately, I'm not a real child.
I tried hard to turn over. Maybe because of my race, although I was just born, I was much stronger than human babies, so I turned over quite easily and put my hands on the protagonist.
A missing father, a purposeful mother, a reliable brother, and a broken him.
It seems that I am the only one who can support this family.
[…Why do I feel like you’re enjoying this?]
