This "good afternoon" made even Chuan Te feel a little chilled.
This voice belonged to Ning Gu. If he hadn't known in advance that it was definitely not Ning Gu, he would never have heard any flaws by listening to these two words. Now the distinction is only based on the tone of voice.
Ning Gu would not speak like that.
That's all.
If Ning Gu said the same thing, or if the owner of the "Good afternoon" called him a "little trumpet", he would probably think that this was Ning Gu...
Lian Chuan held Ning Gu's hand tightly and pressed it tightly on the screen, and he didn't let go even after the system showed that the information was successfully entered.
The information record codes of the two have also been displayed separately.
A faint string of light spots streaked across the backs of their hands, and then disappeared.
But at a glance, Lian Chuan found that the string of light spots on the back of Ning Gu's hand looked familiar, perhaps because of the special approval of the administrator channel, and the traveler who is not a resident of the main city, Ning Gu's code is completely different from his digital code.
It is a row of dots of different sizes.
Small, big, small, small, big…
This is the order on the key bead.
"EXIT," the N number behind him said, the voice was still indistinguishable from Ning Gu's, "It started with you, the legend of the exit, it was you."
Ning Gu moved his hand, Lian Chuan turned his head to look at him, and he also turned his head, his eyes were full of shock and doubt.
"Morse code," N number said, "you are the exit, you are the beginning of this legend."
"What are you farting?" Ning Gu said.
Number N looked down at the back of his hand and sighed: "I don't."
There was clear regret in the voice.
Time does not exist, has no beginning, and has no end.
When all Ning Gu started to find the exit and keep his own world, no one knows, and it is impossible to tell the difference.
This thing called the key, with this string of information, they have never cracked. This is not even the password code of the main city, but the word EXIT was accidentally seen in countless memory fragments. The legend of exit also comes from So I don’t know which generation of the legend of the main city...
But all of this is now intertwined, overlapping, and happening.
Countless Ninggu N, because of this EXIT, because of this exit, will become the savior, but Ninggu has become the beginning at the seemingly last place...
Lian Chuan didn't know how all this would overlap and continue, but he knew that the number N in front of him came with hope that had been destroyed.
He is not the traveler Ning Gu, not the facade of the ghost town, not the little iron ball, he is just a person who wants to continue his own world no matter the cost.
For him, Ning Gu is not another him, it may be just a landmark, marking all the worlds he can reach.
"You are late," Lian Chuan said, "This place has already begun to be destroyed."
"It's not too late," Number N said, "A traveler is a miracle, and it's even more a miracle for Ning Gu to grow up safely as a traveler. It's a great move..."
"If you want to cooperate," Ning Gu interrupted him, "just..."
"No." Number N suddenly smiled, "Why do you have such an idea? It's really strange."
"Then what do you want to do?" Ning Gu looked at him.
"Take back my world," Number N said and stretched out his hand to him, "this is here."
While Lian Chuan pulled Ning Gu and jumped back, Ning Gu raised his hand, and the dazzling golden light seemed to burst from his body, enveloping the two of them like a waterfall.
Then there were a few streaks of silver light flashing across the face of Number N.
A few black scars appeared on No. N's face instantly, but soon, after a few seconds, the scars disappeared.
"He can't copy that mark," Ning Gu whispered next to Lian Chuan, "nor can he copy the ability."
This time Ning Gu surprised Lian Chuan, as if he had suddenly picked up Jiu Yi's brain.
The words of number N have already told them that the traveler is a miracle.
And Voyager's most powerful change as a mutant is abilities.
In the world of number N, there should be no such abilities. They may have higher technology, for example, they can easily copy a person or an object, but they have no spiritual power and cannot copy mental power.
At the same time, they can also guess that the world of No. N probably already knows that a certain characteristic of the traveler can resist the scavenger.
"Yes," No. N nodded, "but you can't kill me either."
"Do you want to try it?" Ning Gu said.
"Okay." Number N raised her chin with a little pride.
This action made Lian Chuan startled.
Ning Gu also seemed surprised, his raised hand froze in the air.
"Kill him." Lian Chuan's voice sank.
Silver light flashed across the air, and Number N's body was shattered, like a sudden gust of wind, and the fragments disappeared into the air.
"Even the dog." Ning Gu stared at the air in front of him, and turned his head after a long time.
"En." Lian Chuan responded.
"I'm Ning Gu." Ning Gu said.
"I know." Lian Chuan didn't dare to let go of his hand, and now he squeezed it hard again.
A series of numbered light spots flashed on the backs of their hands at the same time.
Nine Wings' proposal is still reliable.
This light spot is reassuring.
"He just looked like that," Ning Gu couldn't recover, "isn't he too similar? I thought I was looking in the mirror..."
"Still..." Lian Chuan said, "You can tell the difference."
"What you said is a lie." Ning Gu looked at him, "I can see that you are surprised."
"If he doesn't learn your words and actions," Lian Chuan said, "he can still tell the difference."
"At first, I really didn't think he resembled him, just the voice..." Ning Gu stared at Lian Chuan, "I don't dare to let go now, I'm afraid that another N+1 will come out suddenly."
"At the beginning..." Lian Chuan glanced at the place where N was standing before, "At the beginning..."
"What's wrong?" Ning Gu asked.
"At first, I didn't think he was very similar, because he hadn't imitated your tone and movements," Lian Chuan looked back, "Is it because he couldn't imitate, or didn't imitate?"
"You mean... he just copied a shell at first?" Ning Gu said.
"I don't know," Lian Chuan said, "Go back to the Valley of Lost Path immediately. If he can get here, it may not be difficult to get to Valley of Lost Path."
"They don't know anything yet," Ning Gu was suddenly frightened, "Notify Lei Yu immediately, we are not in Lost Valley!"
Lian Chuan rushed out of the church with Ning Gu, and pressed the intercom: "Lei Yu, there may be a copy of Ning Gu appearing in the Lost Valley."
"He's already here... What do you mean?" Lei Yu's voice came from the intercom, "Ning Gu is here, and I see that he is Ning Gu."
"Kill him." Lian Chuan said.
"What?" Lei Yu said it very hard, as if he was trying to understand Lian Chuan's words as quickly as possible, "Lian Chuan, we can't tell the truth from the fake, if we can copy Ning Gu, how can I tell that the person next to you is Ning Gu? This no?"
"He can't copy Ning Gu's ability," Lian Chuan said, "control him first."
Lei Yu looked at Ning Gu who was standing next to the supply truck only ten meters away from him, and didn't hesitate any longer. He believed in Lian Chuan's judgment.
"The cleaning team," he ordered, "immediately control Ning Gu."
The cleaning team members around turned their heads in surprise, and Ning Gu over there also turned his head to look at him.
Long Biao was the first to react. The weapon in his hand quickly pointed at Ning Gu, and a small blue light spot landed on Ning Gu's chest.
Then all the weapons of the cleaning team members in the vicinity pointed at Ning Gu.
"Is there any information you can refer to?" Lei Yu pressed the intercom, and Ning Gu in front of him really made it hard for him to imagine that it was just a copy, "except for killing it directly."
"Wounds," Lian Chuan said, "the wounds of the replica can heal quickly..."
Before Lian Chuan finished speaking, the sound of metal hitting the black iron floor came from behind him.
"Kill it." Nine Wings' voice came from behind.
Before Lei Yu could speak, a cold light flashed past him, and like a net, it rushed towards "Ning Gu" who was still standing there, cutting him into pieces in an instant.
Lei Yu turned his head and looked at Nine Wings standing behind him in surprise.
"Any suggestions?" Jiu Yi looked at him, "Captain Lei."
"Not now," Lei Yu said, "There will be in the future."
"Let me hear it." Nine Wings said.
"It's fine to scratch," Lei Yu said, "The one that can recover immediately after being injured is a replica."
"Be careful next time." Nine Wings turned around, walked slowly towards a black iron pile above Lost Valley, jumped on it, turned around and folded his arms, looked at the dewdrops in the distance, tapped his finger on the mask with.
When Lian Chuan and Ning Gu returned to Lost Valley, Fade Chen's transport vehicle had already left, leaving behind a pile of supplies.
The duplicated Ning Gu, like in the church, has disappeared.
Lian Chuan searched carefully where he was crushed, but found nothing unusual.
"Will other people be copied? I am now worried that there are other clones mixed in," Lei Yu said, "We don't know the principle and restrictions of replication at all, or whether there are restrictions. I don’t know how to defend against it.”
"When a large number of replicas appear, there are things that control them. I saw that they are connected to the dew mother body. Once damaged, they will be broken immediately," Lian Chuan spoke quickly, "They cannot do this kind of independent individual replication. It turns out that only Ning Gu can be copied, because he is... exactly the same as Ning Gu."
Lei Yu glanced at Ning Gu.
"Luzhu's main target now is Ning Gu," Lian Chuan said in a low voice, "he is more interested in travelers, and his world believes that travelers can fight against scavengers... the copying of ordinary people is of little significance to them, Possibly just to get closer to the Valley of Lost."
"This thing is much more troublesome than a scavenger," Lei Yu said, "Continuously copying a large number of things like before is consuming the resources of the main city. No matter how we kill Ning Gu's duplicate body, no matter how we judge, we can only clean up the duplicate body... "
"I'm going to Dewdrop." Ning Gu said.
"What?" Lei Yu turned his head.
"I want to go in," Ning Gu said. "Those hanging around outside are not No. N himself. He is still hiding in the dew. If he doesn't pull them out from the root, these things outside will never be wiped out."
"It's too dangerous." Lei Yu objected.
"Go," Nine Wings suddenly said on the black iron pile, "I can't stay here anyway, if Ning Gu is Luzhu's target, wherever he is, the clone will appear there, if now..."
Nine Wings pointed to the cleanup team's stronghold a little further away: "There is a Ninggu there, do you think anyone will suspect it?"
Lei Yu frowned.
"What he wants is Ning Gu's death," Jiu Yi said, "He won't stop until Ning Gu dies. Before the scavenger shows up, he and Ning Gu must die together."
"This is a poet." Ning Gu looked at Jiu Yi and whispered in Lian Chuan's ear.
"En." Lian Chuan responded.
Just before rushing, he killed Ning Gu's clone without even the slightest hesitation, so it couldn't be Nine Wings.
But although the words were very cold, they were not wrong.
The goal of No. N is to kill Ning Gu and seize this world. As for how to snatch it, they don't know yet, but killing Ning Gu is the first step, which is certain.
The only way is to be proactive.
Taking risks is inevitable. Up to now, every step they take is already stepping on the steel wire. There may not be light on the other end of the steel wire, but if they fall down now, they will be destroyed.
"Every bet is guaranteed to win." Ning Gu said.
Lian Chuan glanced at him: "I'll go with you."
"He also wants to go with us." Ning Gu looked at Nine Wings, "He has seen destruction and has the same experience as us. This time the gamble is big, so we need more guarantees."
"Okay." Lian Chuan said.
"And he was so ruthless in killing me just now." Ning Gu said.
"Why?" Nine Wings squatted on the black iron pile, motionless.
"It's up to you to live." Ning Gu said.
"Will I die if I go in?" Nine Wings said.
"You will definitely die here." Ning Gu said.
Jiu Yi raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Are you two married?"
"...It's over." Ning Gu said.
"Is the mark on?" Nine Wings asked.
Ning Gu grabbed Lian Chuan's hand and shook it, a spot of light flashed on the back of his hand.
When Jiu Yi saw the spot of light on the back of his hand, he stood up abruptly.
"You know this string of codes," Ning Gu looked at him, "right?"
"How could this be?" Nine Wings was so surprised that the mask moved.
"That key, maybe like you told Fu Lu, there are countless," Ning Gu said, "but it has only one meaning, which is the exit."
Nine Wings didn't speak.
"No. N is here for this." Ning Gu said.
Nine Wings still didn't speak.
"It doesn't matter whether I start or end," Ning Gu said, "no matter how it turns around, I'm the savior anyway. If you want to live, what other choice do you have?"
"If I die," Nine Wings said, "take me back to the Valley of Lost."
"What if you die so that there is no dregs left?" Ning Gu asked.
Lian Chuan turned his head away, his words were so straightforward that he worried that Nine Wings would start a civil war.
"Put this back." Jiu Yi flicked his fingers lightly, and the mask took off from his face and fell into his hand.
When Ning Gu and Lian Chuan looked at his face at the same time, he put on the mask again.
"There's no color difference in your face?" Ning Gu said.
"Light is colorless!" Nine Wings roared.
"The wind is blowing the scum," Ning Gu said, "I'm even more dull in the ghost town. After wearing goggles for a long time, I feel that the area around the eyes is tenderer than other parts of the face."
"There is no wind in Lost Valley!" Nine Wings roared.
"Let's go?" Lian Chuan's head hurts from being yelled at.
When he got up to walk away, the boss jumped over from nowhere.
"Boss," Lian Chuan squatted down, stretched out his fist and pressed on the boss's paw, "don't worry."
The boss lowered his head and put the thing in his mouth beside his hand.
It is a large claw hook with a faint blue color.
This is a claw hook that the boss dropped when his front paw was injured. Chunsan took it to the laboratory, modified it, and helped the boss put it back.
But the boss doesn't use it often, it's a powerful caracal, even if it lacks a claw.
Lian Chuan wanted to come over to replace the knuckles in the equipment. Although the claws have no other functions, they are very strong. When the weapon is in trouble, it is a very useful little thing, but the boss does not give it to him.
Looking at this paw now, Lian Chuan suddenly felt inexplicable.
I have always thought that I can let go of everything, but in fact, I may not be able to let go.
"Lend it to me," Lian Chuan put his paw into the small box on the side of his leg, "I will return it to you when I come back."
The boss snorted, turned and walked away.
There is no farewell, and there is nothing to confess. Lianchuan and Ninggu, plus Nine Wings, are like an ordinary trip, taking advantage of the gap between Luzhu's attack and going deep into the enemy's interior.
Except for Lei Yu and Fu Lu Shou Xi, Ning Gu didn't even tell the group leader.
He was afraid that the head of the group would be worried. If something really happened and he couldn't come back, the head of the group would only feel uncomfortable from the moment the accident happened, instead of worrying from now on.
"How can I get into the encirclement of the main city in a while?" Nine Wings squatted on the pillar of a broken building in Area C, looking at the dewdrops that had become huge due to the closer distance.
"Rush in." Lian Chuan said.
"Are you pulling two people?" Ning Gu asked.
"He can keep up," Lian Chuan said, "Have you forgotten?"
"Oh," Ning Gu turned his head and glanced at Jiu Yi with some dissatisfaction, "I almost forgot."
"Don't charge directly," Jiu Yi said, "Don't let them know that I'm not in the Valley of Lost, they can do anything."
"Well," Lian Chuan understood what he meant, "Then it's up to Ning Gu."
"Three seconds." Ning Gu said.
Three people jumped out from behind the ruins without a sound.
When landing, Ning Gu raised his left hand.
There is no light.
A circle of transparent ripples suddenly appeared in the air, as if they were beating out following the rhythm of the beating heart, starting from the fingertips and spreading rapidly.
The surroundings seemed to freeze.
Three black shadows jumped over the ruined walls in the silence, and rushed towards the dewdrops.
