40,000 Years of Cultivation

Accompanied by the murmur that was almost dreamy, the mist that lingered on the face of "Black Dream" Yunhai's heart slowly melted and flowed down, like two turbid streams crisscrossing his constantly trembling face.

And his eyes, which had always been hidden behind the black mist, finally had a clear view in front of Li Yao and Chu Zhixiao.

Neither Li Yao nor Chu Zhixiao have seen such clear, affectionate, and painful eyes.

Even just thinking about how much pain and torment the spirits hidden behind these eyes have endured made them feel sour.

"The only reason that supports me struggling in **** to this day is that my family can spend the rest of my life in beautiful dreams."

Yunhaixin let the tears melted by the black mist flow freely, saying, "But now, the Eternal Light has become like this, and the dreams of the family are all disillusioned. They may think of everything in the past, or they may have become a vicious beast. Perhaps he would be killed by guards when he hit the bridge, or he would be blown to pieces in the self-detonation of the Eternal Light.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha ha, in that case, what is the meaning of what I have done? Why should I continue to bow to the supreme master, wagging my tail and begging for mercy like a dog?"

He walked towards Chu Zhixiao step by step.

"Calm down, Black Dream."

Chu Zhixiao was extremely unwilling to be an enemy of this difficult teammate, and hurriedly said, "Don't you think that all of this is caused by us?"

"Don't worry, I will not anger people. I know that all this has nothing to do with you, and you are just a poor tool."

Yun Haixin's footsteps paused for a while, and the sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes became more intense, "It's just that the king of puppets promised me, as long as I follow his orders and help him complete a small task-that is to delay you and help him Break your spiritual defenses and let your brain fully open, and he will save my wife and children and let them continue to live an ignorant and happy life."

"How can it be?"

Chu Zhixiao screamed, "You believe such a clumsy lie? The Eternal Light has collapsed, and even the Supreme Master has used the resources of the entire Holy League, and at such a critical juncture, he may not be able to copy a ship. The new "Eternal Light" comes out, relying on the puppet king, a feared public enemy in the universe, how can he guarantee the safety of your wife and children and give them illusory happiness? Impossible, he can never control it. The Eternal Light’s experimental ship on such a large scale does not have sufficient resources to maintain an illusory paradise! You would not expect such a simple truth, wake up, black dream!"

Yun Hai smiled, grinning grinningly, smiling silently, laughing more ugly than the howling ghost of Jiuyou Huangquan.

"Yes, I can certainly think of such a simple truth, but the puppet king still convinced me."

Yun Haixin pointed to his temple, "The King Puppet pointed out the blind spot of our thinking-who said that a dream park like the "Eternal Light" must be built in the real world? Since it is a dream park, it is built directly in the dream world. Wouldn’t it be better?

"Yes, compared to the resources of the entire Holy League controlled by the Supreme Master, the resources that the puppet king can control are naturally very few. It is absolutely impossible to maintain such a huge'eternal light project', but only hijack a small and medium-sized starship. , Carrying enough resources to last for hundreds of years, wandering in the depths of the star sea, where no one can find it, is it still possible?

"The Xinghai Sea is vast. Finding a starship in a small area is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. In the old days, the true human empire spent a lot of force searching for the last starship of the Xinghai Republic, the Firefly, for a full thousand years, and it was futile.

"And this starship controlled by the puppet king is highly automated and does not require many crews to operate it. It carries a special cargo-the human brain."

"The human... brain?"

Chu Zhixiao couldn't believe it, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. The puppet king can't save the flesh and blood of my wife and children. These things consume too much resources and are unnecessary."

Yun Haixin explained, "But he can at least rescue the brains of my wife and children, put their brains in special biochemical chambers, inject high-energy nutrient solution and nerve interaction fluid, and then connect various crystal wires to give different Exciting, from this, the spirits of my wife and children can be'uploaded' to a virtual world, which the puppet king calls the'spiritual world'.

"The spirit world is like a colorful, beautiful, and extremely luxurious virtual game. It doesn't consume much resources. As long as a small amount of computing power is consumed, it is enough to maintain their happiness, and it is brighter than eternal. Ten times more on the number', immense happiness!

"The puppet king can even scan the structure of my brain, use computational power to simulate the characteristics of my soul, recreate a me in the virtual world, let this virtual me and my wife meet and love each other, and the family can live happily together. ."

"This--"

Chu Zhixiao's face was pale, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Li Yao also felt numb in his scalp, and the puppet king-Lu Qingchen, did not change his life, and he had to realize his "virtual spirit plan" wherever he went!

"Why make such a fuss, you should know that this kind of'brain in a tank' technology is quite mature in Shengmeng."

Yun Haixin said indifferently, "In the'Magic Child Project' that you were born, there are also a large number of Magic Children who have lost their bodies, and only their brains are still alive. It's just that they are suffering endless pain, and my wife and children The female will enjoy eternal happiness, that's it.

"Be a little more open-minded. Today, when both psychic prostheses and psychic prostheses are popular, many people who are seriously injured will replace their body organs. Some severely disabled patients lose 99% of their flesh and blood. Isn’t it normal for the brain to be carried by the psychic prosthesis?”

"But even if a person loses 99% of his flesh and blood, or even his brain, and becomes a ghost repairer, he has to rely on a psychic prosthetic body to travel through the world, at least everything he feels is true!"

Chu Zhixiao gritted his teeth and said, "But you want to turn your wife and children into a'brain in a tank' and live in a false world forever. Are you really clear-headed and know what you are doing?"

"Haha, haha, hahahahahahahahaha!"

Yun Hai was stunned for a long time, then suddenly he held his belly and laughed frantically.

Black tears slid down from the corners of his mouth and dripped on his feet, like black blood drops.

"What is truth, what is false, and where is the boundary between true and false?"

Yun Haixin raised his head in a frantic laugh, and his eyes were so clear that neither Li Yao nor Chu Zhixiao could look directly at him. "The Eternal Light is made up of materials and it is real, but the people on the Eternal Light, their lives are'real.' ?

"The Holy League also exists, but the lies of the Supreme Master really convince everyone that everything that is brainwashed and exported is the ‘true’ you pursue and defend?

"Oh, my hometown, the real human empire is real, but what's the meaning of that kind of weak, deceitful, **** and cruel reality? Who wants to let his family and descendants live in such a'real' forever? Among?

"If there are only two ways to go, the illusory heaven and the real hell, Major, you tell me how to choose, I think, it's not difficult, right?

"Or, if you teach me not to listen to the puppet king's bewitching, how should I save my wife and children? Wouldn't it be possible to go to the feet of the Supreme Master again to beg for mercy and ask them to arrange my wife and children to another On an experimental ship? Regardless of whether there is a second "Eternal Light" in the Holy League, even if it does, isn't it a false dream, and what is the difference between the brain in the tank of the puppet king?

"How to choose, how to go, how to save, you teach me, you teach me!"

"but--"

Chu Zhixiao's eyes and mind were a little confused, and he reluctantly said, "Don't deceive yourself anymore. The puppet king is just using you. His purpose is to make the two of us fight each other, hurt both sides, and break our spiritual defenses at the same time. Let his power easily invade our brains and deeply analyze our souls!

"When he really achieves his goal, who can guarantee that he will fulfill his promise? Even if he wants to fulfill his promise, how long can your wife and children stay alone on a starship in the form of a brain in a tank? ?"

"The concept of time in the virtual world is different from the real world. In their perception, it shouldn't be a problem to live comfortably and carefree for hundreds of years? What will happen after a few hundred years is not something I can worry about. , Maybe the virtual world will collapse in an instant, they will die without pain, turning into a cloud of dust between the stars, and reunion with me, who has long since disappeared, in another dimension-for a husband and father, Is there a better arrangement than this?"

Yun Haixin's face squeezed a stiff smile, "As for self-deception, yes, I really can't guarantee that the puppet king can fulfill the promise, saying that I am self-deception, it's okay.

"But what about you, major?

"I'm deceiving myself, what are you?

"What is the difference between the lie of the puppet king and the lie of the supreme master? I cannot guarantee that the puppet king will fulfill his promise, and you can guarantee that what the supreme master says is the truth, those damned' Will the gods really wake up and lead us to eternal light?

"Fart, it's all **** nonsense. The gods and Buddhas have long since died. Now, only me is left in this vast universe, only us who are fragile, confused, blind, bloodthirsty, crazy, greedy. Humans!

"You know very well, as I know, that everything that covers us is a lie, but in the infinite hell, as long as there is a glimmer of light in front of you, even if it is far away, no matter how remote, even if you know it is false, it is One's own illusions must be desperately pursued, grasped, and guarded. This is humanity, and this is our sad humanity!

"In the final analysis, whether it is Nascent Infant or Transcendence, we are all the same as the Devil Boy, Major, Black Dream, and Slaughter Girl. We are all small people, small characters, tricks, deceived and manipulated, that is our destiny, not so. ,so what?

"Even if I'm deceiving myself, don't expose me, let me retain a faint hope-as long as I can do everything to break your spiritual defenses, so that the puppet king can drive straight in and reach the deepest part of your soul, my family can To obtain three to five hundred years of happiness, this is...the last thing I can do for them!"

Yun Haixin's eyes were once again shrouded in black mist.

In other words, with his pupils as the center of the circle, his whole person turned into a black mist, covering Chu Zhixiao's head and brains!
