First Player

Chapter 1178 Chapter 1176·"TE·Seal with Me (15)"

The Ninth World finally developed the "Su Ming'an bot".

Among many "possibilities", Liming and Xi Ke chose to "believe in ideals", so they did not send Su Ming'an bot to invade. But there are always some "possibilities" in which Liming and Xi Ke chose to "believe in reality" and sent Su Ming'an bot to invade.

The Ninth World that chose to invade, explored in the vast universe, and found other Ninth Worlds with slower time flow, that is, Ninth Worlds that have not yet developed "Su Ming'an bot".

So, the Ninth World that chose to invade became [Other Dimensions]. And the Ninth World that has not yet started to invade, began to resist [Other Dimensions].

—— This is essentially the invasion of "the self behind the timeline" against "the self ahead of the timeline".

—— "Self-Devourer"

……

Civilization Progress Chain

After his own world was invaded by [Other Dimensions], he decided to make a bot. In the end, the bot he made himself became another [Other Dimensions] to invade other worlds. After other worlds were invaded, they decided to make bots and start the next cycle... forming an endless "civilization progression chain".

Of course, in this cycle, as long as a pair of "Dawn and Xi Ke" decided to "believe in ideals", this progression chain would be interrupted and no new invasion would be started. So the ninth world that Su Mingan experienced did not become a new executioner in the end.

The "Su Mingan bot" he saw now - came from another ninth world that chose to "believe in reality".

It is worth mentioning that from the term "Su Mingan bot", it can be seen that all "possibilities" revolve around the ending of the ninth world played by Su Mingan.

As for those parallel copies of the ninth world without Su Mingan, it seems that no new possibilities have been extended. This may be related to the "perfect clearance with the highest degree of completion".

...

Therefore, the civilization that the black-haired girl is invading must not be the ruined world that Su Mingan once stayed in. After all, the [Hewei God] who called himself "Saya Tok'a" was a male, so he should come from another "possibility".

Thinking about it this way, it is terrifying to think carefully - did the cause and effect of "Su Ming'an bot" already exist before Su Ming'an entered the ninth world?

...

After the death of the black-haired girl, General Qin took over the world power. For the civilization that had already invaded halfway, General Qin decisively gave up continuing to invade.

In the 8th year before the Tianshi era, the "Millennium Plan" was completed.

- With the millennium reincarnation as the foundation, the [Utopia] was established.

At the conference table of the World Government, Changge sat in this position for the first time. General Qin, Cheng Lishan, Dong Qi, Yang... People sat down one by one.

General Qin said: "We are now only missing two things - the authority of 'observation' and 'time'. This can only be obtained through the third world game in the future."

"Leave it to me, I will win." Necklace Brother said. Since the black-haired girl can win in the second world game, then he can too.

General Qin shook his head: "All her perfect clearances were low-altitude, and she couldn't get such a powerful authority."

Chang Ge said: "Then let's call back Su Ming'an himself?"

"We have been calling out to the universe, but no new voices have responded to us." General Qin said: "My idea is to... create a 'Su Ming'an'. In other words... create a god."

The meeting lasted for a long time.

The world game randomly selects people, but a person who has participated in the world game used means to ask the organizer and learned that General Qin would indeed be selected into the third world game.

Five years before the Tianshi era, humans gathered the power of the world to create a chip with the world's top wisdom and knowledge and implanted it in General Qin's brain. This is one of the few cheating points of humans. They can use the savings of the first two world games before the game starts to create a hexagonal warrior.

General Qin wants to be the "first player" in this third world game, try to pass the level perfectly with the highest difficulty, and finally get the authority of "time" or "observation".

But he still lacks one thing-he needs a good original identity to achieve a higher difficulty and perfect clearance.

…

"Let's go eat lemon barbecue, Changge." This year, Brother Necklace took the initiative to invite Changge out to play, which was very unusual.

"Okay, okay." Changge didn't think twice.

They went to the street wearing masks. The ancient street was still the same ancient street, the candied haws were still sweet, and the sunset cast a twilight.

"Brother Necklace, are there lotus flowers in winter?" Changge looked at the emerald lake, and the pink and white lotus flowers swayed. It reminded him of the beginning, when Brother Necklace gave him a pond full of lotus flowers.

"There are no lotus flowers in winter, that's a projection." The young man said, "What flowers do you like?"

"I like roses." Changge smiled and said, "The world has changed so much. Many people couldn't even afford to eat before, thanks to you, the savior."

In total, they have known each other for nearly a hundred years, and they have been lifelong friends for only this number of years.

"When the real Su Ming'an arrives, you can have a holiday... We haven't been to the distant desert, the misty rain, sunset and haze of Jiangnan..." Changge imagined the future: "We finally defeated the evil forces, and then we can..."

The young man stopped.

The fox mask hit his back, and Changge stepped back in confusion.

"Changge." The young man did not look back: "I have something to say to you."

"What?" Chang Ge said blankly.

"In the third world game, General Qin needs to become a 'primordial like Su Mingan' in order to gain a good identity. He is the hope of your civilization." The young man said: "And I am essentially a chip, whoever I load it into, Who can have characteristics similar to Su Ming'an... Do you understand? "

Chang Ge blinked.

Then, he opened his eyes wide and realized the implication of the young man's words.

Strong disbelief hit his heart, and he didn't understand why happiness was taken away just as it arrived.

"Today is my last trip with you." The necklace said: "Tomorrow, I will be loaded into General Qin as the 'Su Mingan bot' and merge with him."

"Perhaps, the civilization that launched me didn't expect that... I would choose to help you desperately in the end. I violated my mission and am not a qualified bot."

"After merging into one, General Qin will become my appearance, my voice, and a temperament similar to mine. But he will still be the leader in consciousness. After all, he is a human being and a life. I am just a carrier of information and a human being." Bot is an inorganic thing. Once integrated, my consciousness disappears and is not needed.”

"For those unfinished games, you should find someone else to play with you, someone who is as good as you... lest you look unhappy every time you are beaten by me."

"Lemon Barbecue, you remember the location of the store, you can invite others to eat in the future."

"When you pass by the lotus flowers... it's good if you think of me a little bit. If it makes you sad... you can't think of me, that's okay."

"But no matter what, I'm happy..."

His voice paused for a moment, but it was still a gentle voice:

"...Become a [best friend] with you."

Long song.

I'm very pleased to meet you. Not as a copy...just as a pure friend.

Chang Ge blinked.

The strong sourness was stuck in his throat, making him uncomfortable. But looking at the back of the necklace, he couldn't even keep it.

What excuse does he have to retain the other party?

Stop saving this world...how is that possible?

Such a huge millennium plan, the hope of the entire world, the goal of everyone's joint efforts... What did he use to keep him?

"As a bot, my free will has never existed from beginning to end. Perhaps the only manifestation of my free will... is this decision to sacrifice."

These are the last words of the necklace.

But Chang Ge doesn’t think that’s the case.

He opened his mouth and looked at the figure of the necklace gradually moving away.

…

You are not a qualified bot and you have violated your mission.

But you followed your heart.

Necklace brother...

Until now... I haven't seen you give yourself a name. Even...I can only call you in the end...

Necklace brother.

…

Seeing this, Su Mingan understood why General Qin refused to let him see his face. It turns out that Brother Necklace merged in and gave General Qin the original qualities of Su Mingan.

Changge was responsible for guiding Su Mingan as a night identity because of the follow-up plan. It's just a pity that Brother Necklace died at this time.

But Su Mingan continued to read... only to find that this was not the case.

…

5 years before Tian generation.

On the day of the fusion, there were only General Qin and the necklace in the room.

"Let's begin." General Qin said.

The fused blue light emerged in the room. Brother Necklace took a deep breath and walked towards General Qin.

However, there were violent footsteps outside the door.

Changge took advantage of Cheng Lishan's unpreparedness, stole the key, and broke in. He put a few pieces of paper into Brother Necklace's hand and pushed Brother Necklace away.

"You——" The young man was stunned, thinking that Changge was going to give him some important document, but when he lowered his head and saw it, he saw a piano sheet filled with notes.

The white paper is flying like the feathers of a white dove, and the jumping black notes are crooked and mixed with graffiti.

"I know what I should do to keep you." As he passed sideways, Chang Ge kicked him again, pushing the young man to the edge of the room. And Changge ran straight towards General Qin——

"What are you doing!" the young man shouted.

"Brother Necklace, you've said it before... We are all essentially copies." Changge shouted back to him: "Then I am the same."

He is Su Ming'an's foundation. Even if he was useless at the beginning, over the past hundred years, his martial arts, piano, and games were all brought out by Brother Necklace. In order to become best friends with Brother Necklace... Changge almost became the youth himself, and the difference between them was already very small.

If it is to be "artificial", it is already a finished product.

"Changge, you..." Even General Qin couldn't think of it.

"Come back!" The young man immediately got up from the ground.

The soul ferrying machine has begun to operate.

At the moment Chang Ge rushed up, he didn't think much in his mind. I just feel that he has to change something.

He thought about how to keep Brother Necklace all night long, and finally he suddenly realized - yes, as long as someone takes his place, it will be fine. He also looks a lot like Su Ming'an.

He guessed that it was not necessary to be absolutely original to Su Mingan, but that he only needed to possess elements such as selflessness, bravery, love, and perseverance.

So he rushed forward.

Like the teenager who rushed to the podium and questioned thousands of parliamentarians - like the eight-year-old boy who rushed into the music classroom and saved the bullied girl - like the nineteen-year-old youth who sat in the basement of Henggang and questioned Boss Rabbit about the rules of perfect clearance...

They all made the same action.

This should be the bravest decision in his life... The demise is certain, the death is certain, but he still came.

The blue light bloomed.

Irreversible surrender, unstoppable death. The fusion of light lies between them, and even the last hug cannot be given.

The young man was shouting at him, with an unprecedented panic on his face:

"——Why!?"

Why is it Changge! ?

Changge is just a replica, who has been smarter for a hundred years and made such a decision.

Why is it Changge! ?

How can a bird's heart compare to a human's heart? Why should life replace the demise of the program? Don't you think it's cheap?

But Changge's eyes responded to him - it should be like this.

If everyone is moving forward, leaving him alone as a replica at the end, even the necklace guy is ahead, it would be too lonely.

He does not feel pain, the passing of life is like a centenarian lying in the sun and dying.

If he is not a replica of anyone, maybe this is the ending he should have. Unfortunately, he was shoddy, clumsy, and defective from the beginning.

"Forget your 'last words' yesterday, I'll give it back to you." Changge's voice got lower and lower, but his black eyes became brighter and brighter, like two balls of fire, just like the bright eyes of the boy at the beginning:

"For those unfinished games, you should go find a master to play, don't play with me, I'm too bad. I get beaten by you every time."

"Lemon barbecue, go find someone else to eat, I think the girl Wang who likes you is good... Don't always get together with guys like me."

"When you pass by the lotus... you don't have to think of me. I like roses, I don't like lotus at all, so don't be sad."

"I always envy you because you are smarter than me. But then I found out... It turns out that you are also silently envying me, envying that I am life."

"But what does the program have to do with it, what does life have to do with it, is there any difference?"

"——Is love fake? Is the world fake? Is the life woven by words ridiculous? Are the two-dimensional pictures and words, and the 'personality' that has existed since the beginning, necessarily inferior to others?"

"Brother Necklace."

"I don't think anything, really."
