According to Nolan's description, in the last few reincarnations, the world, without exception, is coming to an end.
"Isn't it like this before?" Hao Ren heard the deep meaning in Nolan's words, and immediately followed up with a question.
"Before? At the very beginning?" Nolan thought for a while, "It wasn't like this at the beginning. The earliest 'scripts' in my memory were very peaceful. The world was safe. There were no wars, the world was peaceful, and it was usually rich—thinking about it now, apart from being a bit boring, life was peaceful and peaceful, and even sleepy. At that time, my family and I lived in a big house in the mountains, and sometimes we were a peaceful and wealthy citizen. I remember that I was even the daughter of the president and the princess of a small country on the sea... Those were the times when there was no war at all."
Hao Ren listened in astonishment. He thought that every reincarnation of this world would be the end of the world, but he didn't expect that Nolan's deepest memory turned out to be an idyllic era. He paused and asked, "When did wars start in the world?"
"I can't remember clearly," Nolan said softly, "You know, it's very difficult to remember the exact time in reincarnation. I can only guess that it's in the middle of my memory...Three or four thousand years ago or earlier At one o'clock, every cycle of the world began to be dangerous. At first there were sporadic wars in the 'script', then natural and man-made disasters when the reset was imminent, and later it developed into large-scale wars and even extermination wars And in the recent dozens of reincarnations, the world, without exception, showed signs of coming to an end before resetting, and started with a symbolic catastrophe."
"The nanocomputer fleet is out of control..." Hao Ren muttered in a low voice, "This event itself may be an illusion, but it has a symbolic meaning... Maybe it represents the direction of the world, or some kind of 'main line'?"
"The world is a ridiculous stage play," Nolan said blankly. "Perhaps the director of this stage play just likes disaster movies recently."
Nolan likes to describe this world as a stage, and directly uses "script", "director" and "plot" to describe everything he has experienced. Now Hao Ren also deeply agrees with this statement. But he had other thoughts: "Have you tried connecting with people in the 'real world' or the 'waking world'?"
"You mean those 'people' who control the stage outside?" Nolan looked into Hao Ren's eyes. Suddenly smiled, "I tried. Many, many years ago, but it was useless, no one responded, no matter how big the noise I made, even detonating nuclear bombs in the city, blowing up the entire continental shelf, it was useless, no one To respond to me they will just silently hit the reset button. Replace this broken stage with a new one. Trying to 'wake up' is unrealistic, we are all stuck here, we are the script Part of it, the people with the script just don't care about our characters' little complaints."
"This sounds a bit like self-defeating," Hao Ren sighed. "If possible, contacting the 'conscious world' is the only way."
He felt that things were in a dilemma. In the dream plane of reality, he couldn't locate the position of the planet Zhuomu. On this "false stage", he cannot touch the real world, and if he wants to wake up here forcefully. He could only sit up from the sleep pod at home: some sleeping law prevented him from touching the world behind the scenes, although it seemed to be only covered by a thin layer of black veil. But I can't grasp it at all.
It makes people scratch their heads anxiously.
When Nolan heard that Hao Ren was interested in the waking world, he immediately warned him sternly: "Don't try it rashly, and don't even think about it too much in your mind, that's how Heaton went crazy. I tried it once before. , ended up with severe brain damage, and spent four years lying in the hospital—there must be some mechanism in the world that keeps us from getting out of this place, something that is simply irresistible.”
"You said the brain was severely damaged?!" Hao Ren was shocked, "Does this mean that this world will actively respond to the idea of 'leaving'?"
Nolan was taken aback by Hao Ren's eager eyes: "What do you want to do?"
Hao Ren looked excited: "If you study this 'active response', wouldn't it be equal to confronting the controller behind the scenes of the world?"
"I advise you to give up this idea immediately." Nolan frowned, "Let's not mention where you start. Are you sure that the controller behind the world will be interested in a small 'character'? I even doubt you and me The sober ones who retain their memories are deliberately left by the 'director', just to enhance the fun."
Hao Ren leaned back on the frame of the mountain bike with his head in his arms, and said softly, "If this is the case, then he is really a bad 'director'."
Nolan's warning didn't mean much to him. No matter who or what is controlling the world behind the scenes, "it" is unlikely to affect a spiritual body clone. Hao Ren is very glad that he is dreaming In the real world, there is also a set of advanced Xiling dormancy equipment as a safety lock. He is not afraid of the world's counterattack. But before officially launching the "offensive", he must first find the key to dialogue with the behind-the-scenes controller of this world.
"Nanometer cluster..." Hao Ren brought up this matter again. He thought of the mysterious voice he heard in the haze when he entered the ruins of the Northland, and his intuition told him that it might be what he was looking for." This world is coming to an end without exception in the recent reincarnation, Nolan, do you think this is simply because someone who wrote a 'script' has a bad hobby?"
Nolan looked over curiously: "You mean..."
"Even if you like watching disaster movies, you should throw up after watching dozens of times in a row," Hao Ren said slowly, "I'm more inclined to believe that the behind-the-scenes controller of this world is incapable of controlling the overall situation. Maybe there is something wrong with his program. , it will cause the world to collapse after running for a period of time. You said that the world was peaceful for many times of reincarnation at the beginning, so it seems to me like a paradise. I think a person who can create this kind of paradise world 'People' don't suddenly change their temperament and want to end the world."
Nolan didn't say anything, just looked at Hao Ren silently for a while. She felt that the man in front of her was too naive, but she had no intention of correcting anything. She believed that as long as Hao Ren experienced a few more reincarnations like her, and experienced a few more wars, he would become like herself.
Nolan was naive once—and died of it more than once. Today, she looks immature, but her heart has been vicissitudes and hardened. After the excitement of meeting her "companion" for the first time gradually faded, she turned her attention away from the behavior of exploring the illusory things like the nature of the world, and began to think about the relationship between three people. down to action.
"The situation in this reincarnation is worse than before. It seems that we have been thrown on the battlefield from the very beginning." Nolan rubbed his forehead and whispered, "If my memory is correct, the 'script' this time is like this : The aerospace technology of this planet is in a deformed state. A huge "Empire of the Chosen" controls all cutting-edge technology and prohibits the "mortal country" from launching high-orbit vehicles into the sky. People who conduct space research without permission are called extreme by this empire. Astronauts are strangling like terrorists. At this point in time, there is a serious struggle for imperial power within the 'Chosen Empire', and some scientific and technological information has been leaked by the progressive nobles, while other countries in the world are uniting Rise up and conspire against the overlord. Perhaps a world war will usher here soon, and the scale will not be smaller than the Sixty Years War in the last reincarnation."
"What is your identity this time?" Hao Ren asked casually.
"A freedom fighter rampaging in a modified car." Nolan patted the big tire he was leaning on with his backhand. I just left my employer and ran away, so there should be some troubles. But don't worry, I'm used to it... Every time the world is reset, I have to be in a hurry for a while, and there is a price for retaining reincarnation memories, You don’t always get into new roles very well.”
Nolan shook his head with a wry smile, and then suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, just to remind you, you may meet Gray Fox's companions... Although I'm sorry, they may not be our companions this time. If Hostile words... make them as happy as possible."
Shi Ji Terminal, who was researching with her feet not far away, suddenly interjected: "Is this necessary?"
"This is to keep myself alive," Nolan said blankly. "Anyway, the world will reset sooner or later. What's the use of keeping so many emotions? 'Innocence' is the first thing that should be discarded." (To be continued~ ^~)
