I'm not a cyberpsycho

We always face choices in life, and we always want to choose the best ending at the fork in the road, but most of the time it backfires.

After all, when you really have to face a choice and give up something in order to gain something, it is basically the end of the road and the situation is beyond your control.

Either I just do it all or it's over, I have to choose a shitty choice, right? But if you don't have the power to control everything, you can only make choices and make sacrifices.

This is the so-called divergence point of fate.

Li Pan hesitated for a while.

It has always been that as long as his fist is strong enough, he can take it all, but now is no longer an era where personal bravery and struggle alone can change anything.

What's more, his fists are not strong enough. Let him blow up 15,000 legion warships by himself? Are you kidding? This kind of challenge requires at least the Return to Void stage, right?

So now, here at Akagi Gendo, there may be a chance to really distort the trajectory of the wheel of history.

After all, if it is true as he said, he has mastered the black technology developed by Gao Tianyuan, which can extract the souls of dead individuals from the Sea of ​​Alaya and complete the resurrection.

To a certain extent, it really completes the final hurdle for the directors of the Restriction Committee to obtain everything, control everything, and monopolize everything.

That is, an absolutely fair death.

All mortals are mortal.

Regardless of origin, regardless of ability, regardless of gender, regardless of race, everyone will face a sweet death.

In all the heavens, universes, all realms, and in this mortal world, there is probably nothing fairer than death.

But the human race is also pretty fucked up. What people pursue all their lives is actually unfair.

Rather than just having enough food and drinks, there is also the so-called realization of self-worth, that is, in various senses, the self-realization of reaching a transcendent status above all living beings and trampling everyone else underfoot.

And conquering death is the greatest injustice that humans can pursue.

Therefore, with the rapid development of science and technology, most of the mainstream technology companies have gathered on the track of researching 'immortality' or 'immortality'.

Of course, so far it’s all just ‘fake immortality’.

For example, BBA's bionic human prosthetic body is as strong as it is strong, but it is just a pillar in the wall. Although the house is built solidly, the top pillars in the wall are not upright and the beams are not straight. Sooner or later, they will decay, and the building will collapse accordingly.

For example, the cool baboon's human body life-extending medicine is also made of adobe. Although it is made into bricks and tiles, it looks like it is molded, but it cannot withstand the test of water and fire. Once the heavy rain comes, it will definitely collapse to pieces.

Another example is Chaos Technology's brain-computer canning and intelligent uploading. Although it is like gods in the electronic world and is awesome, in fact it is nothing more than fishing for the moon in the water. The moon is in the sky. It can see shadows in the water. It can be seen but cannot be touched. , after all, it’s just trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain.

Of course, even the path of cultivation and seeking the truth of 'true immortality' is not easy to follow.

There is no need to enumerate all the ways to achieve immortality in the world of immortality. I will only mention the Taishang Jiuzhen Sect, eight of which are exclusive to the thirty-six heavens, Xumi Mustard Seed, the Cave Heaven has no calculation, countless living people, and the Taishang Dao that can return to the void and merge with the Tao. Ancestor, there is only one person in the end.

And no matter which Taoist school, practitioners are inevitably in danger of being attacked by swords, guns, sticks and swords, and being struck by lightning from the sky. Day and night, they are in danger of death all the time, and they can also be destroyed physically and mentally at every turn. ! Maybe if you embark on this 'right path', you will die faster than those heretics like you!

Therefore, even if it is true that human beings have discovered various ways to escape death, transcend the mundane world, and live forever in the world of heaven, none of them requires huge efforts and costs.

And the ultimate success or failure depends entirely on individual talent, hard work, resources and luck, all of which are indispensable. In other words, they are all binding plug-ins of Children of the Plane, and basically cannot be popularized.

But what Takamagahara has opened up now is obviously a new track.

Can’t seek immortality? Then don’t ask for it! Hey~~I am resurrected!

Although it is still a crooked way, Gao Tianyuan may indeed be able to complete a key link.

After all, the most popular so-called "reincarnation in another world" is actually a clone with a genetically replicated personality. It is just a projection of the deceased, and their original consciousness is still in "heaven" or "brain tank" Or in the 'Mikoshi'.

But if a technological breakthrough can be achieved, any soul that has died and returned to the Sea of ​​Alaya can be re-refined and transferred into a new body through the medium of 'Mikoshi'.

This is Takamagahara's human completion plan.

Complete the last shortcomings of mankind.

die.

At this time, Li Pan actually had a vague sense of future vision.

If Akagi Gendo can complete human completion.

At that time, the sea of ​​human subconsciousness and the electronic world based on QVN will be officially linked together.

At that time, the plug-in that allows unlimited resurrection by spending money was finally enabled.

At that time, the money in the account, or the capital in one's name, will be the sum of everyone's vitality, combat effectiveness, superpowers, and all values.

By that time, unless it goes completely bankrupt, immortality can really be achieved.

Even this last rule, the principle of 'absolute fairness', has been broken. Then, in this world, there may be nothing that can restrict those oligarchs who monopolize all resources...

At that time, the Capital Avenue will be completed...

In that case, everyone may be immortal, or there may be a future where only a few people are immortal. Whether it is full of despair or full of hope, it is hard to say now.

But as long as you hold this key link in your hands, you will naturally have the bargaining chips to negotiate on an equal footing with the committee or the legion.

However, Akagi Gendo obviously did not tell the truth, at least he must have concealed the most critical part of the plan.

This is a man as shrewd as a fox and as calm as a capybara. No information or ideas were revealed until the last minute.

Probably if he hadn't known that IRAF was planning to take action, he would not have roped in Li Pan before.

If it weren't for obtaining the key, he wouldn't even reveal the slightest bit about the Legion's invasion, let alone the Sea of ​​Alaya on the other side of the door.

So now, will he tell the truth to Li Pan? impossible.

Trying your best to resurrect a lover? You said that the security director is a cyberman, so what do you want from a man or woman who is inhuman?

Twenty years have passed and you are still thinking about the girl at the next table with a beautiful smile? I still love you so much that I want to live and die without her? This isn’t a romantic drama anymore, it’s a comedy, okay!

Moreover, Gao Tianyuan himself should know the value of the human completion plan best, but they categorically suspended the project. In the past twenty years, they have even thrown the body of the Demon King into a solitary grave to eat ashes, let alone He was carrying out the resurrection secretly, without even the intention of using this as a bargaining chip to continue negotiations with the committee. It was as if he had given up on his own initiative.

Is it because you have a big appetite and want to eat it all?

Impossible. In the final analysis, this technology must be integrated with the Zhutian Market to achieve maximum value.

And don’t the people in power in Gao Tianyuan really want to complete the work and ‘resurrect’ it?

So at that time twenty years ago, the completion plan itself must have failed.

There must be some fatal hidden dangers that have not been resolved.

The test at that time failed, and there must have been some fatal flaw, which Akagi Gendo deliberately concealed.

What kind of ghost is the main palace fighting against the mistress? Everyone treats him as a fool...

"Okay, I can give you the key."

However, after some thought, Li Pan agreed.

After all, it’s not a big deal to watch the fun.

If you think about it in the long run... then there is no need to consider it at all. If all humans in the world are extinct, he probably won't die...

Therefore, if we consider it from a short-term perspective, the importance of his chess piece, General Manager 0791, has plummeted since the Legion entered the game.

From a car running rampant, to a pawn crossing the river, it becomes an object that can be discarded. There is no help left or right, and there is no way forward or retreat.

And if the situation continues like this, the future of the 0791 world is completely predictable.

This universe will become the front line of the battle between the legion and the committee. When the time comes, all kinds of super weapons that destroy the world will enter the scene and become a solemn world and a scene of weapons testing. They will directly hit the galaxy, collapse the earth, and destroy all life, right?

At that time, don't say "The satellite fell down!" "Damn! Look at me putting it back!", just burn the glass with a burst of Star Destroyer Cannon, and the Earth King will die...

So what's the disadvantage of having one more technology that can resurrect everyone?

As for whether the 'resurrection' technology will be monopolized in the future, that is a matter for the future.

And if you give the key to the other party now, no one knows what will happen in the future.

But this might open up a different situation and allow the higher-ups to refocus their attention on the world.

It doesn't matter whether it will usher in a short-term peace or cause more disastrous consequences.

Now, the road ahead of the train is already an abyss visible at a glance. No matter where the other branch of the road leads, it has to pull the brakes and change lanes, right?

In the final analysis, humans are just short-sighted animals who only care about what is in front of them.

"Oh, I mean I will transfer the authority of Takamagahara to you, but I want to keep the motorcycle to ride. This shouldn't matter, right?"

"certainly."

Akagi Gentang shook hands with Li Pan and reached an agreement under the gaze of the big maggot.

"I can hand over the authority of the Security Bureau to you within the scope of my authority, and immediately dispatch a three-headed dog unit to assist you in breaking into the headquarters of Takamagahara..."

"Hey, wait."

Li Pan said slowly,

"First, I said that I can give you the key, but you have to spend money to buy it, okay. Then I will suffer a little loss, so I can just give you ten trillion.

Second, after all this time, who would risk their lives to deliver the goods to your home? There are only ten hours left, am I the one who counts if I fail? Is FOB good? I have already loaded the control core on the ship. You can arrange for someone to pick it up yourself!

Oh, by the way, thirdly, that cruiser was also just bought, and it cost 400 million, so let’s figure it out separately. "

After all, stealing a junk Titan can still explain it, and then let the Security Bureau get involved.

Now it's really hard to tell who will win or lose between the legion and the committee, so it's better to prepare with both hands and get out as soon as possible. If Director Akagi fails, there will still be a way out.

Akagi Gentang couldn't help frowning when he saw that Li Pan gave up his choice at the last moment.

"You don't want half of Gao Tianyuan's assets?"

"Hey, you're trying to steal half of your assets from me. Do you think I'm stupid? It doesn't matter whether it's a legion or an alien coming over now! When they come over, the earth will become a negative asset! Why don't you hold on to my future? Proceeds! Give me money! Now! Cash!”

Li Pan looked at Akagi Gentang's expression as if he was eating shit.

"What? You don't have money, do you? Hey! Dangdang 0791 Tribune, Director of Security, are you telling me that you have no money?"

Akagi Gendo, "..."

Li Pan took a breath of air,

"You really have no money!? No! You are doing all this, and I am a wolf with nothing! Don't force me to fall out! If you make me angry, I will kill you and this maggot!"

Gendo Akagi is worthy of being the security chief. After a brief moment of silence, he quickly regained his cold expression like a capybara and took out a burst of data chips from the back of his head.

"Manager Li, believe it or not, I don't have even one billion, not to mention ten trillion. I have invested all my resources in the research of the human completion plan. If you must cash in now, that's fine.

There happens to be a case of Hashiba Nobuyoshi being handled recently. I can transfer some of the permission codes to you from the illegal proceeds that the bureau assisted in the investigation.

However, these assets have been registered with the tax bureau and cannot be laundered. At most, you can only find ways to cash them out on the black market if you have the channels. "

"Oh, there's really nothing I can do about it, so I'll suffer a little loss."

Then Li Pan and Akagi Gentang looked at each other for a while,

"We're done talking, won't you open the door?"

Akagi Gendo shook his head,

"I don't have the silver key anymore, this is the end of me."

Li Pan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Akagi Gendo turned around and stared at the sea of ​​blood in ecstasy.

"This is the final plan. It doesn't matter whether I have the key or the authority. The research facilities in Takamagahara have been flooded before. When the time comes, I will dive down, restart the Demon King project, and return to Alaya no matter what. ocean……

Even if you fail...there's nothing wrong with it, maybe that's better..."

Li Pan looked in shock at Director Akagi, who had a calm expression and seemed a little pleased and relieved.

Damn it, am I really wrong about this guy? Is this guy really the kind of person who would love him even if he died? ?

"No, what should I do? Are you willing to sacrifice your life for love and let me be a light bulb?"

Director Akagi didn’t even look back.

"You must ask me about my plans, so I brought you to see it. Aren't you also the general manager of TheM? It's the end of the world if you open the door and go out by yourself."

Tsk...I only have one silver key left...

The last two people screened each other for a while, but Li Pan still couldn't screen the capybara, so he had to hand over the key, open the door and escape.

The big maggot could only watch him leave, and he would come and leave whenever he wanted.

Well, after all, ‘Fountain Pen/Powerful Expulsion’ is the number one monster. Being strung along by the cross of light, there is absolutely no room for resistance.

But it seems like Monsters, Inc. is in deep water. If any sealed warehouse falls into the hands of the company, it will make big news for you...

After coming out, Li Pan and Uncle Chen made a handover, handing over the control of the rewritten Titan, and leaving the rest to the three departments to arrange people. I can only say that I wish Director Akagi a smooth journey and success.

Then he turned around and sent a telegram to everyone in the company, arranged for a shuttle to be picked up and dropped off, and had everyone evacuate the earth quickly. If it was too late, he would go underground to prepare for the mass extinction of species in twelve...ten hours.

Li Pan himself drove his sports car home to his suburban apartment.

"The Sea of ​​Alaya..."

Maria, the non-staff magic consultant, sat on the sofa, holding black tea. She listened quietly to Li Pan's story about the sanatorium, and slowly shook her head.

"He can't succeed. It's not enough to just analyze the Alaya Sea and get in touch with the essence of the soul.

No matter what system of 'resurrection', it requires extremely high technology, which cannot be mastered by a layman after several years of study.

Moreover, ‘death’ cannot be fooled. If a contract of equal exchange cannot be reached, no one can be brought back.

Unless there is a Holy Grail, but you can’t grab it even if you look at it..."

"So there are indeed other hidden settings. When I heard it, I felt it was not reliable at all. Fortunately, I jumped ship in time to stop the loss...

But let’s help with the divination for the time being. If it works out, I’ll pay you gold coins…”

Then Li Pan couldn't help but look at Maria's pointed ears,

"By the way, off topic, what kind of cosplay are you talking about? Are you the heroine of a new show?"

What was in front of him was no longer a zombie that smelled of rotting flesh, but an elf girl who seemed to be the finished product of reincarnation.

In the literal sense, in the sense of game and anime works, the classic elf magical girl look.

Maria moved her pointed ears,

"This? You can understand it as a biological antenna, which is used to receive the 'magic elf' frequency.

The roots of this world have been deeply touched and transformed by elves. Elves are the most suitable form to connect to the magic network of this world. That's why this resurrection took the form of this elf golem. You don't have to mind. "

Well, anyway, when you go out on the streets these days, with nothing on your body, it’s like a bunch of demons dancing around. The elf skin is so refreshing, there’s really nothing to worry about.

"If you want to see it, I will predict it. But if you don't take action personally, I think with the limits of mortals, I am afraid that I will lose control without even seeing the face of 'death', let alone contact the source..."

After Maria transformed into an elf, she seemed to be really powerful. She raised her hand and hit her divination ball to make a prediction.

I saw that in the future predicted by the fortune-telling ball, with the NCHC Medical Center as the origin, a large amount of orange-red liquid suddenly overflowed and spewed out from the ground.

The moment the human body is contaminated with the orange-red juice, it melts into a pool of pus, and the ocean quickly spreads, growing exponentially. The orange waves spread endlessly, covering the entire city, the entire island, and the entire garbage in the blink of an eye. The sea, the entire surface of the planet, is covered in an orange-red ocean.

Then from the location of the Night Capital, a wriggling, white piece of flesh slowly emerged from this new primordial ocean, like an embryo that had broken open its mother's womb and was soaked in amniotic fluid, opening its huge eyeballs. , looking outside the fortune telling ball.

"Click!"

The fortune-telling ball shattered.

Maria was not surprised, she drank the lipstick tea,

"As expected, he went berserk, and finally a new god was born."

Li Pan, who is now well-informed, is as numb as a capybara.

"Tsk, I gave you a chance but you didn't use it... Maria, can you predict what will happen when the Legion arrives in the future?"

Maria shook her head,

"Among the people who came here this time were very powerful combat magicians, the kind who could kill me instantly. All the predictions of conflict with the Legion ended with my death in battle.

After all, I am just a scholar, not a combat type. Please forgive me for not participating in your battle. "

"God steps on me to fight...I don't want to fight at all..."

Li Pan scratched his head,

"Then... do I have to go the other way and stop Akagi Gendo's actions? It seems that if we let him continue like this, everyone on the earth will turn into orange juice!

Do you have any suggestions for dealing with this giant maggot, or the new god? "

Maria thought for a while,

"I have never seen this type in the library. It stands to reason that a normal demon will be blasted to countless dimensions the moment it is 'forcibly expelled' by the Holy Spear.

But this new thing, a whole generation of companies have nothing to do with it. They can only use the 'Holy Spear/Forced Expulsion' to temporarily seal it, and it can also re-condensate its body and appear through the flooding of the Alaya Sea. …

This is an existence far beyond my knowledge and ability. My advice is don't give it a chance. Let this predicted future not happen at the source. "

Li Pan sighed,

"Yeah, what a pity. I expected to wait until the maggots flooded the sanatorium before sealing it..."
