Looking at Leonard, who could not move his legs and feet, but who looked brand new, put on neat clothes and took care of himself, and seemed to have made some preparations, Xiao Ran was also a little surprised. He was ready to use the ultimate mission card to force Leonard to become his participant, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him such a surprise as soon as he saw Leonard.
Xiao Ran looked at the last time left for him in this world, and then at Leonard who was ready to see the so-called real person. He smiled at Leonard with a smile and extended his hand. He held his hand: "Welcome to join."
Leonard looked at Xiao Ran's right hand stretched out in front of him, and then at Xiao Ran with a smile on his face. After a moment of silence, he slowly reached out his hand and shook Xiao Ran's hand gently, and then said: "I I have promised you to join your team, and you can also tell me what I need to pay and what I can get."
Xiao Ran paused for a moment. He only had a dozen hours left, but Leonard's favorability didn't seem to be at full value. He wanted to increase Leonard's favorability to full value before completing the follow-up. The remaining time was obviously not enough for the task, but Xiao Ran also gave it a try.
Glancing at Leonard, Xiao Ran asked directly: "You will have to pay a lot, which can't be explained in a few words, but at least you will no longer have real freedom, and you will have to continue to become stronger and stronger endlessly. Be stronger. But what you can get will be far beyond your imagination. Healing your body is only the simplest and easiest thing that can be done. You can even get everything you can imagine."
"Once you truly join, what you will see and come into contact with will be far beyond your imagination. You will see things you have never seen before, and you will also transcend the world itself and stand on a more The advanced level comes into contact with the reality of the world I talk about. I can't guarantee that you will get the answers to the questions in your mind, but I can give you a way to find the answers."
Leonard listened quietly to what Xiao Ran said. It was not until Xiao Ran finished speaking that he took a deep look at Xiao Ran and said again: "Request."
"Huh?" Xiao Ran was in a daze, not quite understanding what Leonard meant.
"You told me that this world is just one of the infinite parallel worlds that occur repeatedly. Black technology has already developed to a level that cannot be explained by current technology. In other words, the previous 'I' may have successfully reset the new world. There have been many times like this in the world, with endless cycles and endless resets, and the track that was supposed to be repeated was broken because of your appearance."
"There are two conclusions I can draw for this. First, you people, including the Puento who followed me, are all from another 'future' with more repetitions and higher levels, based on different reasons and The reason is developing in the process of changing this world. Judging from your behavior pattern, you chose to protect Chidori and Tessa, while other people finally gathered around me."
"Second, you are simply from another world. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the technology you have mastered and what it is all for."
"But what makes me strange is that you were the first to discover the difference between Chidori and proactively contacted Mithril. However, the other people who gathered with me were mostly by chance, just like those people you know. You don’t know, and what you know is something that even I don’t know, so your identity becomes even more suspicious.”
"Based on the fact that you never explained some issues positively from the beginning, but repeatedly emphasized the world, the cycles and repetitions of this world, so I think the second possibility is more likely. You tried your best to get me to join. Your subordinates value my abilities so that I can become a member of your team and supplement your team's weaknesses. To achieve this goal, certain conditions and requirements may be required, so I ask you what your requirements are."
Xiao Ran's pupils suddenly contracted, and the changes in his eyes also fell into Leonard's eyes, making the latter more sure of his thoughts.
But what Leonard said brought a great shock to Xiao Ran. He had no idea that Leonard could almost deduce the entire truth based on what he said, and that it would come from another world. The truth has been inferred, and this has never happened before. It has never happened in so many worlds that Xiao Ran has experienced.
No one Xiao Ran met in so many mission worlds had ever looked at Xiao Ran and other participants in the direction of another world. Perhaps it was because Xiao Ran had basically experienced relationships in the real world, and the real world Even though the technology in the mission world is different, there are great similarities, so it has not been discovered.
Or maybe it's because of the world itself, which is originally a complex world composed of multiple worlds. Every change will cause a huge chain reaction, but even so, how did Leonard think of this
"Is it really because I emphasized it too many times?" Xiao Ran was confused. Leonard's words made Xiao Ran think of Cruze's inexplicable favorability again, and thought to himself: "Did Cruze also find out? What?"
"Are you confused?" Leonard looked at Xiao Ran's expression and said, "I feel confused too. After you told me those things, you strangely learned some things during many days of thinking that I didn't know at all. thing."
"I think it is normal for the deformed fighter plane you developed to appear. My reason also tells me that it is achievable and not surprising at all. Indeed, judging from the technology of this world, it is completely impossible to create that kind of deformed fighter plane. Anything feasible can be done as long as the problems of materials and energy are solved.”
"There is nothing to doubt about this, but Puento's machine is different. It is a technology that is completely beyond this world. Even if the T-LINK system is not as good as λ-DRIVER, it is still a A very powerful new technology, but no one among us Whisperers knows that this technology exists."
"My original thought was that this thing might be a new war system developed by another Whisperer, and the sudden appearance of so many strange machines made me feel that there might be some undercurrent under this world, but there is no such thing. I never thought that all these things actually do not belong to this world at all. When I started thinking about it, I thought that the world that was repeated this time should not appear."
"The words you told me made me immediately think that maybe these things come from another future. Then maybe you and Puento and others are not from the same future, but then As I went deeper into the realm of the Whisperer, a voice told me that these things had nothing to do with the future at all. They were things that should not have appeared in this world. This thing had been repeated countless times in the world, but it actually came from the outside. exist."
"It's strange. When I didn't know everything at first, I naturally blamed all this on the Whisperers, thinking it was an unknown organism created by other more powerful Whisperers. After I learned that there are multiple worlds, I then It’s natural to feel like these things are from another future.”
"But after the voice deep in the Whisperer's realm told me that none of this was true, I suddenly discovered that my thoughts were unknowingly affected by some factors that I didn't understand at all, causing me to interpret everything that seemed unreasonable. Things make sense, and in fact the voices deep within the realm of the Whisperers are real.”
"Two completely different pieces of information appear in my mind, but I am more certain that the information deep in the Whisperer's realm is true, and your origins are even more mysterious in my opinion. Guests from the mysterious world, if Is it as simple as giving my freedom to join you? I don’t think that’s the case.”
"Otherwise, a team like yours that has a clear purpose to achieve a goal should have become extremely chaotic, so there must be other requirements. A more stringent requirement can make me become a person like you."
"So my question is besides paying for freedom, what other requirements are required? As for your shocked reaction, I find it very interesting. That also shows that my guess is right. The extension of the Whisperer's domain seems to be A realm beyond the reach of the powerful forces that shape the human mind in our world.”
"Or is it just because the Whisperer's field involves other worlds, and the power that can affect human thinking is only for this world, like a computer without the ability to think independently, UG appeared due to the superposition of multiple worlds? "
"Ding!"
"All missions released. Leonard, the native of this world, awakened due to special reasons. Optional side missions are now released for all participants in this world."
"The level side mission is released, kill the special awakened person, and kill Leonard within 24 hours. Those who successfully kill Leonard will receive a follower quota x 1, and can designate a member of this world to become a follower. If the mission is successful, you will be rewarded with 10,000 combat points and a technical drawing of this world. The penalty for mission failure: None."
"Protect the special awakened ones. Protect Leonard from being killed within 24 hours. You need to contact Leonard and get the other party's approval. After the time is over, you can get a reward of 10,000 merit points and a technical drawing of this world. After the mission is successful, Leonard can awaken as a participant according to his own wishes, or become a follower of the recognized target."
"Ding, you can only choose one of the two tasks above. Accepting this task will force your stay to be extended to twenty-four hours."
Xiao Ran's pupils shrank for a moment again due to the sudden reminder, and he looked at Leonard who was sitting on the chair with an equally stunned expression.
Xiao Ran heard the prompt from Prometheus, and Leonard also heard the prompt from Prometheus.
"Ding, you have successfully touched the existence of Prometheus. Because the UG and mistakes in this world have led to your wrong awakening, you have become a non-qualified person for Prometheus' selection. Your task is to survive in the next twenty years. If you successfully survive within four hours, this world and related worlds will be completely corrected after the mission is over."
"After you survive, you will gain the identity of a participant, and you can also choose a participant you recognize to become his follower."
"Real zone participant number 678 has successfully contacted you. Number 678 has chosen to protect you. You can choose to accept or reject the other party's protection, please choose."
Leonard glanced at Xiao Ran, who was nodding towards him, and said, "Accept."
"You don't need to say it out loud. You can just say it silently in your heart when accepting or rejecting." Xiao Ran sighed longly and said: "I didn't expect that things would turn out like this, that you would make inferences from things that were not very relevant. Due to the existence of Prometheus, things are a bit beyond my expectations now.”
"But fortunately, the three missions have ended now, and the number of surviving participants is not too many. They are still low-level participants. I can protect you, but you can't stay where you are now. It's best to change A place where it won’t have too much impact would be better.”
"Because I'm not sure whether anyone will accept the task of killing you, and whether they will have your location. Staying here will involve innocent people."
"Prometheus?" Leonard looked at Xiao Ran, the horror in his eyes could not be concealed: "What on earth is it."
"Let's go, I will explain it to you." Xiao Ran spread his hands and walked behind Leonard's wheelchair. Pushing it with one hand, he took out Whisper and started to contact Elf, Luo, Langba, and Pu Entrust a few people.
After Elf connected the communication, he said directly before Xiao Ran could speak: "I have contacted Luo. He and Puento have started to prepare the machine. Langba and I are going to pick up Chidori and Yani. On the way, gather at the institute."
"good."
After simply speaking, he hung up the phone. Elf and Luo had already started arranging everything without Xiao Ran saying anything. As Xiao Ran's participants, after Xiao Ran accepted the task, the two of them could naturally know what Xiao Ran had received. According to the mission situation, respective arrangements were made at the first opportunity.
After Xiao Ran hung up the phone, Leonard also looked ahead and suddenly said: "Participants are people like you, so what is the difference between followers and participants."
Xiao Ran sighed, looking a little helpless: "As the name suggests, followers exist as subordinates of participants. They form a common team with the participants to carry out tasks, and share the glory and humiliation with the participants."
"Then do you want me to be a follower or a participant?"
