Su Jinzhi froze for a moment when he heard the answer No. 1 gave him.
Because this answer is very subtle - not Sariel, but the general goal of saving.
Although No. 1 is called like this in every world, but in the current situation, Su Jinzhi can understand that the interstellar beast is the body of Sariel, or the body of the general goal of saving in each world. .
There is a question that Su Jinzhi has been puzzled for a long time, that is why the general goal of saving each world is the same person.
Yes, Su Jinzhi is completely sure now, whether it is Sariel in this world, Xie Lincheng in the previous world, or even further back, the general goal of salvation he encounters in each world is the same person, and he always The person who didn't love at first, but gradually fell in love with him later.
No matter how the saving sub-goals or sub-tasks change, the overall goal remains the same, and sometimes the completion of the main task is a bit strange, and there is no reason for it.
But the only thing that hasn't changed is that every rescue goal will be intimate with him, as if their destinies were destined to be intertwined, entwined into the most complicated puzzle, and no one can find the answer.
If Number One hadn't been emphasizing that he couldn't fall in love with the general goal of saving, he could act, but never allowed to have too many emotions beyond the standard line, Su Jinzhi would have thought that this system, the existence of each of these worlds In order to make him fall in love with the general goal of saving.
It just sounds like a dastardly conspiracy.
But reason tells Su Jinzhi that the truth is not like this, and he is unwilling to believe that the truth is so despicable.
Those memories that gradually emerged, and the strange guilt and pain that suddenly appeared in his mind and heart all told him clearly that there was something wrong with his memory.
However, what Su Jinzhi can't confirm now is whether the memories he recalled later are real, or it's the complete opposite—he's been living in a false memory before.
"I..." Su Jinzhi was a little at a loss, he blinked a few times, holding the teacup and didn't know what to say. After a pause, he smiled stiffly and said something to No. 1, "I didn't tell you what happened before I died, did I?"
"I am the only diplomat on earth, but it is too polite to say I am a diplomat. Sometimes I feel that I stay on earth like a scavenger guarding the garbage dump. There is no doubt that the earth is the garbage dump I guard ..." Su Jinzhi took another deep breath, he rolled his eyes, and shifted his gaze to a small beam of sunlight projected on the coffee table outside the window, "It was normal at first... No one wanted to stay there, but I wanted to stay, and the benefits I get are surprisingly good…”
"Ridiculous humanistic care." No. 1 asked him, "Isn't it?"
Su Jinzhi's Adam's apple slid up and down, and he lowered his eyes and did not speak. Because he also knows that this is a ridiculous "humanistic care".
No. 1 continued to finish the sentence for him: "Hundreds of years later, the mixed-blood humans released you pure-blood humans who were punished in the permafrost prison frozen under the Arctic Sea, like gods. The same high above gave you the opportunity to choose—whether you choose to accept the transformation and live, or continue to be what you call pure-blooded human beings.”
"Some people refused to accept transformation hundreds of years ago, but when they woke up again, some people agreed to the transformation plan. And you have no chance to choose."
"There's something wrong with your freezer, it can't maintain your vital signs properly, so before you thaw, you have systemic organ failure, so from the moment you wake up, you don't have There's no choice left, you can always be as purely human as you thought before you were frozen."
"As you wish, you should be happy, right?"
The cold mechanical voice No. 1 tells the people who hear it that it is just a silicon-based creature residing on the machine. They are similar to AI programs, have super high IQ, but have no emotions. It is pressing Su Jinzhi, Force him to give a definite answer.
In fact, Su Jinzhi didn't know how he would choose.
Why on earth did those pure blood humans release the pure blood humans who were once a threat to them from the frozen punishment that should have been imprisoned forever
Just as the high gods would not be afraid of ordinary humans, they wanted to see whether these pure-blood humans who had insisted on not accepting transformation would still persist in their "ridiculous" beliefs hundreds of years later.
But do pure-blooded humans still have a choice
The medicine condensed by freshness and tears has been developed, and the war that buried the flesh and bones of countless people is over. The earth they once wanted to protect has become a dilapidated ruined planet. Their persistence and belief, in the end Is there any need to continue
What's more, Su Jinzhi didn't have those memories at the beginning, he didn't remember at all.
Even though he recalled the memory fragments when he was imprisoned in perpetual freezing, he knew how the transformation medicine was developed, and he also knew that millions of human beings had marched to protest the occurrence of all this, but he didn't have to The shocking emotion that resides in those memories.
Those memories are more like a piece of history to him, a movie, he will have emotional fluctuations for them, but no matter how much there is, there will be nothing.
"Hahaha... how do I know you're not lying to me?" Su Jinzhi laughed twice, his eyes a little lost, "It was normal at first... very normal, until I met an alien, I didn't know him , but now I know he looks exactly like the main rescue target. I don't have alien antibodies, so I can't touch aliens, he shook my hand, and I was tested for systemic organ failure after that, so I I always thought it was him, so I was afraid of him at first... But now you tell me, tell me, I suffered from systemic organ failure a long time ago... My memories are all false... "
Su Jinzhi's voice gradually weakened, and he still had some words to say.
He can no longer tell which of his memories are real and which are fictitious. If the interstellar alien is the body of the main goal of saving, it is the alien he saw before he died, and the one he saved when he was a child. A strange beast, so where did his memory about him go
Forgetting the person he loves the most, this is what Su Jinzhi is unwilling to admit.
The second world left a deep impression on Su Jinzhi. What was the reason for Jun Changle who left his hometown and couldn't return home until he died? Because the one he loves has forgotten him. He didn't know if he continued to wait, would he still have a chance to meet the person he loved, but if he didn't wait, he really wouldn't see him, so he waited.
No. 1 has already told him that in every world, the general goal of saving, the people he loves will not remember him and will forget him, but he will not be sad at all, because he knows that they will meet again , will still love each other.
But if the person he loves is that alien, the alien beast that saved him when he was a child, then how many years have passed since the day he was permanently frozen and when he woke up from the cryogenic chamber and met him again .
Hundreds of years.
For hundreds of years, he lay in the freezer and slept without remembering anything, while another person wandered in the vast and lonely universe for hundreds of years, waiting for him to wake up, but he didn't know that there was someone been waiting for him.
The person waiting for him didn't know if they would meet again, or if they would fall in love again when they met, but he still left his hometown and waited for hundreds of years in another strange galaxy.
Finally wait until a stranger who doesn't remember him.
— "He's been watching you."
-"do you know him?"
Even if Su Jinzhi closes his eyes now, he can still see the gray eyes that are wearing thick protective clothing and looking at him through a transparent helmet. The blazing fire engulfs the deep and deep feelings that have been accumulated for hundreds of years. The yearning gaze instantly turned into astonishment and shock after hearing his answer "I don't know", and then slowly turned into pain and despair.
Su Jinzhi didn't dare to think about it any more, wondering if there was any hatred in those eyes.
"Memory can be deceiving, and we can be when necessary. But emotion can't be deceiving." Number One said, "I also sincerely hope that I can understand you humans—or there are still some carbon-based creatures that are unique. Yes, this kind of thing called 'emotion'. No matter how much human-like robots and bionics created by humans, they have no emotions. Humans have formulated three laws for them, perhaps because they are afraid that they will have emotions and be too human-like. Because even the virus sometimes puts on a flawless camouflage, but love, it seems, can never be concealed, nor can it be faked for a long time."
"You just like Sariel, love him deeply, I can see it, but don't let him know that you love him, at least not before you leave this world."
Su Jinzhi blinked his eyes, and the heavy liquid in his eye sockets finally slid down his cheeks, bringing a slight itchy feeling. His voice was a little choked up: "Why can't he know? What are you and number zero? This What is the system? What do I need to do... "
"I have made the meaning of the existence of this system very clear from the very beginning. No. 0 and I are silicon-based organisms. You just need to do the task well. If you insist on asking why you can't let the general goal of saving know—" Number One answered him, the voice paused for a while, "It can only be attributed to the technical limitations of Number Zero, and we are both desperate."
Listening to No. 1 teasing himself with a cold mechanical voice, Su Jinzhi's heavy mood suddenly eased: "You guys have no feelings, what do you know about despair?"
"Oh, then you just need to understand." Number One's voice became colder, "Host, do you have any questions?"
"I still have one more question." Su Jinzhi said, "Do these worlds have an end? Will I travel through these worlds infinitely? Save the general target..."
"There is an end." No. 1 interrupted him impatiently, "Your husband will always be with you, is this a problem? How many problems are there? You don't keep your word, I have to warn you, drive me away." The magician's persona has collapsed."
"No more questions, I've got the answer I wanted."
The haze in Su Jinzhi's eyes suddenly dissipated. He doesn't care about the final end of these worlds, whether death is waiting for him, he only cares about another sentence that No. 1 said.
"Huh? Why is my An Luosi crying?" Su Jinzhi sat on the sofa, and another person suddenly appeared beside him.
He looked up into those deep gray eyes, there was no hatred in them, they were full of sweet love as thick as golden honey. He still remembers the admiring gaze cast on him by the strange beast he held up through the protective suit when he was a child, the deep glance when they met again a hundred years later, and every time they looked at each other and collided in every world , all the anger, loss, persistence, happiness and satisfaction that have appeared in these eyes, from the strangeness at the first meeting to the deep love later, are all flickering and reappearing in his mind quickly frame by frame and scene by scene.
"The sun is a bit dazzling." Su Jinzhi lowered his eyes, and he needed to take a deep breath to press the corner of his raised mouth.
"Really?" Sariel didn't give him a chance to dodge, pinched his chin and forced him to look up, his deep gray eyes curled up with a smile, "Isn't it because you miss me too much?"
"no."
It's because I love you too much.
Su Jinzhi replied quietly in his heart.
