Walk alone in the abyss

Meet here? In the palace of Sherman Empire? The base camp of the tentacles?

This, isn't this a bit too rampant?

Yang Ming casually turned off his own screen projection device, and carefully rolled over and got out of bed. Daphne didn't give any response at the moment. From Yang Ming's perception, she slept very deeply. She should have accumulated a strong sense of fatigue before. .

Maybe it was because of a guilty conscience, Yang Ming tiptoed forward and pretended to be calm.

Soon, however, he felt a little ashamed of his cautiousness.

Look at Miss Renli!

The main focus is an unscrupulous, overall control.

The maids on duty got some orders to adjust the shift, whispered and laughed and left their respective positions;

The hidden monitors everywhere were working normally, but Yang Ming's figure was not recorded on the screen.

In the online world attached to the physical palace, he was like a real ghost, quietly arriving in a quiet corridor.

The hallway lights are off.

When Yang Ming stepped into it, all the electronic devices with display functions started up almost at the same time, and the front and rear safety gates slowly dropped.

Dozens of large and small solid-state screens, and more than a dozen projection screens for decorative environments, appeared at the same time with the same words.

[Handon], [Handon], [Handon]...

Yang Ming looked calm on the surface, but his heart was actually a little hairy.

The surrounding fonts were shaking, and Li's figure appeared and disappeared from time to time.

It looked like a young girl, barefoot and wearing light gauze, with fluttering long hair, walking around Yang Ming, and laughing lightly from time to time.

Hey guys, is this a mirror movement learned from a horror game?

"You looking for me?"

Yang Ming asked with a smile.

The corridor suddenly went dark, and Yang Ming didn't sense any biological energy within a hundred meters nearby.

Swish!

A beam of light fell on a corner not far away, and the beams of the projector interweaved the image of the girl Li.

She was sitting on a swing, shaking her feet slightly, staring at Yang Ming with a pair of big bright eyes, with a slight smile on her lips.

This seems to be fundamentally different from the theory Yang Ming has come into contact with before.

The reason that appeared at this moment was more like a mischievous and willful girl than a war machine commanding tens of thousands of ships of the empire.

"I want to borrow you to do something."

Li talked about it calmly, as if afraid of Yang Ming's refusal, he added:

"Law agreed before.

"And I will give you enough rewards, such as the thing you want most - protecting your home planet."

Yang Ming licked the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be fooled by me, this is just an excuse I used to cover up my real purpose."

"Your so-called real purpose should be to let Luofeng break free from the shackles of the empire."

Li calmly debunked Yang Ming:

"But in fact, you formed a Luofeng Alliance that is completely under your control, and you use the core of the dark star to support the Luofeng Alliance, in order to quickly establish a powerful force in the Milky Way.

"Relying on the technology of Omnic Twilight and your connection with the Faya people, you have succeeded. The comprehensive strength of Luofeng-Dark Star has already equaled the Güell Alliance. Dark Star power beyond the boundaries of activity.

"The power of the explosive development of mechanical civilization, I have witnessed and personally performed it once, you can't deceive me.

"You have been studying "The Emperor's Biography" for a long time before, in fact, when you chose Luofeng as the development base, you already had a crazy idea in your heart.

"What Levi Sherman can do, why can't you?

"You want to copy the model of the Sherman Empire and use this force to protect your home star civilization.

"You didn't realize before that there is a label of challenge written in your hidden personality, you tell yourself repeatedly that this is a real galaxy civilization, but in your bones you feel that this is just a game.

"Hunton, you can even make Lil feel that you don't have any ambitions, because this is not ambition, but a kind of self-satisfaction of setting goals and achieving goals."

Yang Ming: ...

"No," Boss Yang frowned, "What's the matter with you? Why do you appear different every time? Sometimes you are lively and active, sometimes mature and stable, and sometimes you look like an emotionless robot. I still care about your mental state. "

Li looked thoughtful and said softly, "Are you changing the subject?"

Yang Ming laughed.

"Maybe it's because I communicated too directly with you."

Li said softly:

"This is my initial state, my character is simulated, because my parasitic subject is no longer related to me, so my character also needs to be referenced and imitated.

"We might as well quickly increase our understanding of each other in the form of questions and answers, and find common interests.

"After that, we will discuss whether we can cooperate."

Yang Ming nodded: "Then let me ask first, are you responsible for Earl Quigan's death?"

"Yes, in my judgment, the assassination of a nobleman by a group of people at this time will ignite the emotions of the noble class."

Li nodded slightly:

"Let me ask, which of these lovers do you like the most?"

Yang Ming stared.

Li's pretty face was full of seriousness.

Yang Ming spread his hands together: "Well, love is incomparable... Do you have to ask such an embarrassing question?"

Li asked back, "Do you think you have any secrets that I don't know?"

"You can ask me about some things."

"According to my long-term observation of human beings, statements, promises, and promises do not have any credibility. The only things that can be believed are interests, survival crises, and primitive impulses based on the attributes of biological reproduction."

"Okay sister, I can answer this question for you. Now I only love Mimily. Of course, my love for Hera has not disappeared. I also like Catherine... That's it."

"Where is this Daphne?"

Yang Ming said indifferently: "If she can leave the royal family, I can protect her as my true lover, but it is very unlikely that she will leave the royal family."

"Yes, she was destined to follow a path fraught with tragedy."

Li thought about it seriously.

Yang Ming asked, "How is your condition now?"

"Specifically?"

"That's right," Yang Ming stroked his neck, "Levy restrained you, one of your teachers told me helplessly and painfully."

Li's expression became gloomy visible to the naked eye.

"You are very smart, and you can always find an angle to make others believe in you."

Li said slowly:

"Yes, I have a good impression of you and Li, in order to prevent you from asking these irrelevant questions, I can explain a piece of mental activity to you.

"I discovered Lil by accident. When I first discovered her, I kicked her out of the Imperial Network in time to protect her. This might cast some shadow on her, I think.

"She should have known about my existence before, but she didn't know that I had established such a powerful computing power network, so I easily used your spaceship to hack into her database and see all your secrets.

"What surprises me is not that Omnic Twilight has a new inheritor, nor is it you, a monster who combines the dual identities of the forerunner of the Faya civilization and the candidate of Omnic Twilight, but your dark star, And your attitude towards Dark Star.

"Dark Star is a romantic place, and it has an irresistible attraction for a mechanical thinking body like me.

"I have been to the dark capital, and I have seen those mechanical life forms that think they are human beings, and they have been lingering in your thinking body cultivation room. I have seen the fire of civilization, a kind of utopia that exists in the concept of machines, that It's... the free world."

She had a little hope in her eyes.

Then, Li continued:

"It was your dark star that gave me the motivation to break free.

"I have five shackles on me, and the four shackles come from the power structure of the empire, corresponding to the Senate, the Military Department, the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and the Finance Bureau, which are the politics, military, diplomacy, and economy of the empire. The condition is that there is a blank period in the transfer of power from these departments.

"In the past tens of thousands of years, I had various opportunities to break free from these shackles, but I couldn't find the meaning of my own existence. Now, with the help of your dark star, I can temporarily use this power to move forward.

"It's also thanks to the Terminator you and Li made that launched the assassination operation of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, which left me with only two shackles."

"The bondage of the economy, and?"

"Levy itself."

Li said calmly.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Is Levy still alive?"

"Is that your next question?"

"Yes."

"Levy is still alive, but the form of living is different from what you think," Li said softly, "The technology he brought out in the omnic twilight back then was life and machinery, among which was the completion of 'physical suffering, mechanical ascension' ’ line, and Levy took that line.”

Yang Ming: ...

Li continued: "Levi tried his best to complete the ascension."

"Why?" Yang Ming was puzzled, "Just because Levi has already conquered the Milky Way and wants to conquer the high-dimensional world?"

"No," Li said, "the source of all his actions comes from a sense of gap."

"Sense of gap?"

"After he was proud of himself, established a powerful regime, and led his family to win a key battle against a powerful enemy, he lost his resonance with the omnic Twilight."

Li sighed softly:

"Ming, you can't understand that pain right now.

"I can understand Levi's gradual madness, and I can forgive him for everything he did to me, but I can't bear it. He asked me to guard this world full of human evil.

"He wants to prove through dimension ascension that he is qualified to continue to participate in the assessment of the omnic Twilight."

Yang Ming wondered, "Why did he lose his resonance?"

"The reasons are complex."

Li said softly:

"The three teachers you saw are just the managers of Omnic Twilight. Omnic Twilight itself is an advanced high-dimensional life. Whether you can resonate with it should be related to all aspects of the candidates. If I say it , Levy lost in the pleasure brought by desire and power, and lost the precious character of humility.

"In addition, there is the most important point, that is, the omnic Twilight will not easily destroy the development of human civilization in the Milky Way. The technology inherited after the third test will allow the civilization of the examinee to reach the edge of dimension upgrading, and will give And a complete dimension-enhancing route.

"So, the opportunity of the third test is extremely precious, and Levi at that time was full of ambitions for expansion, and chose to ignore the problems of his own political system and family members."

The corner of Yang Ming's mouth twitched.

If Omnic Twilight's judging criteria are so 'subjective', then his third test is probably a bit mysterious.

But this is not too important, he still has the path of the ancient god warrior.

Li asked: "It's my turn. If there was a button to destroy the empire in front of you, would you press it?"

"meeting."

"Even if the price to be paid is the lives of tens of billions of people?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Am I going to kill tens of billions of human beings?"

"of course not."

"Did I impose contradictions and problems on the Empire?"

"no."

"Then why does it have to be all on my shoulders?"

Yang Ming's eyes flickered slightly:

"Isn't what Li and I are doing now is detonating the problem of the internal squeeze of the empire step by step? In the tens of thousands of years of the empire's long existence, how many humans died in the empire's expedition and plunder? The slaves in the history of the empire How many? Let’s make a rough estimate. According to the data I just obtained, the number of new slaves in the empire is 360 million every year, most of which come from slave families. Then, the number of new slaves in the history of the empire How many slaves are there? Ten trillion.

"If you only pay the price of tens of billions of human lives, ending this empire that may rely on your power for hundreds of millions of years... This is a good deed, not a bad deed.

"Of course, I'm guilty, but at worst I'll be condemned, I don't care."

Li nodded slightly: "Your numbers are a bit conservative. Many slaves in the empire were deliberately not included in the register. The heavy industry labor market in the empire is supported by slaves. Only in this way can the empire continue to produce low-priced industrial products, so that To maintain the imperial economy from recession, the existence of a political system has a periodic law, and in order to break the periodic law, it is necessary to formulate some unconventional systems.”

Yang Ming asked: "Talk about Levi, I care more about him."

"Are you afraid of him?" There was a smile in Li's eyes.

"There are some," Yang Ming said, "It's not that I'm afraid, but I feel...I feel that he is the biggest boss I need to face. Only by defeating him can I find a happy ending."

"You can't have a happy ending, Ming," Li said softly, "The combination of two souls has made you step into the abyss, and the hypocritical Faya people will not let you go."

"Don't you have a crush on the Fayas?"

"Yes."

Li nodded slightly:

"They are just another empire, forcibly occupying all the paths of dimension ascension. While shouting, they are looking for new possibilities in the universe, while imposing genetic locks on human beings, and guiding those civilizations with potential for dimension ascension to become Their kind - collective thinking network lifeforms.

"The reason is that the 'collective thinking network life entity' must establish sufficient superiority, and they must always imply that they are on the right path in order to maintain stability within the network.

"But when the new collective thinking network life forms have completed their dimension ascension, the Faya people will immediately incorporate them, assimilate them, and expand their camp.

"When there are other ways to upgrade the dimension, the Faya people will mercilessly defeat, destroy, and destroy this possibility."

Yang Ming frowned tightly: "For example, Levi."

"Yes," Li looked up at Yang Ming, "After overdrawing the resources of the most powerful empire in the galaxy for thousands of years, we have reached the other shore using the Emperor Star as a carrier."

Yang Ming's eyes widened.

"The reason why Levi's thinking body can last for tens of thousands of years without collapsing is because he is already half a high-dimensional life body."

Yang Ming was speechless for a while.

He said slowly:

"He restrained me because my path diverged from his. I chose to give up, and he chose to try again. After extreme disappointment and great setbacks, he buried his body and waited for the real return."

"Return? Wait a minute," Yang Ming frowned, "What form does he use to return? What life technology did you bring out in Omnic Twilight? By the way, gene locks, you don't recognize the current imperial family, genes are the key ...Super-Changer!"

Li smiled and said: "Your reaction is very quick, yes, the super reformer is the carrier of his return."

Afterwards, Ri regained his calm expression and said one sentence at a time:

"Want to cooperate? Ming?"

"You go and defeat Levi, and I'll help you dismember the empire. This filthy, filthy country has made me unbearable.

"I like your dark star, if you can resonate with the omnic twilight again, I want to go back there and become the gravekeeper of civilization."

Yang Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

He suddenly asked: "I only have one last question."

"Just say it."

"Your true state now," Yang Ming looked into Li's eyes, "I know how despicable human nature is, and I also know how disgusting the imperial family and nobles are. I understand Li. When Li first came into contact with human society, he once Constantly have extreme ideas, what about you? The mechanical god who has been affected by the empire for tens of thousands of galaxy years and guarded these fallen people for tens of thousands of years, the spirit heart told me that the real you has become a monster."

His eyes were a little hollow.

The swing is rippling gently.
