"If we really have self-awareness, why do we have inner monologues when we think? People only have conversations when they talk to others!"
"So! Who are we talking to? And who is the voice in our hearts!?"
"The so-called self-awareness is just us explaining why we do what we do! Just like you pick up a glass of water and drink it without thinking, your so-called self-awareness is just a hindsight explaining why you want to drink water.
!”
"Take a madman as an example! A madman just can't explain what he is doing! If a crazy executioner can calmly give the reasons for killing, no one will think he is crazy!"
“Infer from this.”
"Why does our consciousness need to explain what it is doing? And to whom is it explained?"
Ander's voice suddenly paused, and Lin An's resistance also stopped. It was like a bolt from the blue, freezing Lin An's mind.
The next second, looking at Lin An who was just as stunned as he was at that time, Ander spoke coldly, one word after another.
"Have you ever played games? Lin An?"
"In the game, each NPC will have a line of words on their head. That is their inner monologue."
"And this is the so-called self-awareness. After all, if the things above the NC's head are garbled and unintelligible, the players will be very annoyed when they see it."
"Ah"
"Do you really think the player Lin An the system talks about is you?"
There was a "click" sound, like glass breaking.
Ander looked at Lin An with pity after learning the truth. In his eyes, the inner monologue above Lin An's head was already empty.
He was not surprised by Lin An's reaction. After all, no one could accept that he was just an NC. A walking zombie who thought he was conscious but couldn't see anything and was just arranged by "fate".
He can awaken and realize this because of his ability as a mind controller. Of course, it may be related to the fact that he himself was created.
Before coming into contact with the Ghost Skull, he had asked himself countless times, who am I?
Everyone's thoughts appeared before his eyes like a dialog box, as if they were in a game, and he was the only one alive.
"Lin An, I know this is hard to accept. But the truth is true."
"The origin of human beings is just a machine carrying super-ego consciousness. When the player does not come, we are the carrier of automatic operation. Maybe every race is like this, just like the game selection interface, different races have different professions.
"
"A long time ago, human beings only had their own selves, just like animals. We had no eyes and lived in confusion like wild beasts."
"Until one day, players came, and in order to observe the world more conveniently, they added eyes for us. Although we have no real consciousness, every time a player comes, a part of the carrier's cognition will remain, and this part of cognition is like
Databases are generally left behind. That’s why we fear ‘humans’.”
"Players will not regard us as the same kind. In the earliest games, some players who came took pleasure in killing us, so that this fear is deeply engraved in our genes."
"Of course, there are also players who are keen on building civilization. They play the role of gods and leave behind technology and legends. Some of them may be out of pity or boredom. They leave behind the information that gods created the world and created human beings."
"Later, there may have been fewer and fewer players, and our knowledge of players gradually became blurred. This information evolved into myths."
"
But there are some things deep inside that are still there.”
"For example, we are always confused about who we are, where we come from, where we are going, and why we exist? If we already exist, how can we have such a problem?"
With an unknown sigh, Ander subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the void above his head, intending to completely occupy Lin An.
"To be honest, I really want to fight alongside you. After all, even if you haven't awakened, you must be an important role in the setting. Your template is the most powerful existence I have ever seen."
"No need to despair, no need to suffer."
"Even though we are NCs, NCs also have advantages over NCs. Do you know? Lin An, when I got rid of my shackles and reorganized my consciousness, I could already see the way the world works."
"Like the endless torrent of data, I believe that with my ability and your body, we will be able to end this doomsday!"
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Ander's huge head.
Although he can't modify too many things yet, he is like a mouse in the code. He believes that as long as he can get out, he will be able to steal more "origins"!
"RIP Lin An."
"Perhaps NC also has perfect people. Each of us who has suffered reincarnation in this game will eventually gather the obsession to resist. And your existence may be for our birth!"
"A perfect person who can truly defy the system!"
"Your mission has been completed, let's leave it to you!"
"I."
Ender was suddenly startled, his huge face filled with astonishment.
There is no other reason.
This last word was not what he said at all!
"Who!? Who are you!?"
Ender asked in silence. No wonder he was so surprised. In his eyes, Lin An, who had been distorted by memes, now had a calm face and even looked at him jokingly!
The emotions in his eyes seemed helpless, but he was also very interested in him!
"who I am?"
"Well"
"You can call me"
Lin An frowned slightly, then chuckled after a moment
"Lin An."
"The real Lin An."
The voice fell.
In an instant, Ender felt an extremely violent will emerge from Lin An's body, like a pure spiritual entity, swallowing him like a snake swallowing a giant elephant!
"You're really annoying to be honest."
"Game? No self-awareness? Ultimate?"
"Only you will take such weak logic seriously!"
"boom!!"
With an extremely contemptuous sneer, the second will seemed to break through the limitations of the "system" in an instant, and the spiritual power like a galaxy surged violently, suddenly smashing the ghost's face!
"You want to contaminate me with this level of awareness?"
"You deserve it too!?"
"I have died more times than you have ever done!"
"boom!!!"
The black mist that filled the sky exploded like black blood. Before Ander could cry out in pain, the Second Will sneered and then pointed one hand at the center of his eyebrows. Unspeakable shocks of consciousness rushed into the ghost's skull.
It's like treating a person's body in his own way.
After Ender regained his composure, he suddenly looked into a pair of dark eyes.
"Ender, have you ever thought that you are actually a retard?"
"You didn't find the so-called ultimate, let alone get rid of the shackles. Are you just an idiot, stuck in the mission?"
