"If this is what you're going to say next, then there's no need for us to talk any more."
"Plausible logic, I don't think the so-called ultimate can be so simple!"
"boom!"
Before Ander could be stunned, Lin An stood up suddenly and looked at the portal above his head with cold eyes.
He admitted that what Ender said had some truth, and that every piece of logic was interconnected and self-evident. But it was too rough, and there were too many ways to interpret these theories!
Rather than saying it is the truth, it is better to say it is the ravings of a madman!
especially
Lin An clearly felt that Ander was stalling for time! Maybe Ender really knew something, but he deliberately went around and didn't say anything!
"Are you angry? You think I'm teasing you?" .??.
Seeing that Lin An wanted to end the conversation, Ander's eyes flashed with a strange look, but his attitude remained indifferent.
I saw him shrugging, spreading his hands and smiling.
"Lin An, what are you angry about? Are you angry that what I said is wrong? But even if it is wrong, don't these things inspire you? Will they hurt you?"
"Of course, I can understand your feelings. People will instinctively resist anything that goes against their own cognition. This is a protective program, or a shackle, in our genes."
"Have you said enough?"
"Do you still want to say that people are like machines, branded the moment they are born? The evidence is the fear engraved deep in our genes?"
"Brain hell? Are some cognitions and limitations innate?"
Interrupting Ander for the first time, Lin An's eyes quickly scanned the surrounding darkness.
The conversation continued until now, and he had already vaguely guessed what Ender was doing!
"Isn't this the original appearance of Ghost Skull? I've been wondering since I entered the mission, wondering why everything in the scene is so familiar. At first, I thought it was the familiarity caused by the restart, but now it seems that this place is simply the will.
The city in the trial!”
"Are you making up logic using my most familiar memory?"
"Continuously awaken my memory and constantly let me verify myself"
No longer thinking about whether the logic of Ander's words was correct, at this moment, Lin An actually found that he seemed to have caught the thought that had passed by before!
In less than a second, Lin An's expression suddenly changed. He thought he knew what Ander was doing!
The ghost skull meme cognitively invokes thinking to reshape the scene!
If a lot of information in the Ghost Skull mission was hidden by Ender, there is one thing that cannot be hidden, but it has not appeared for a long time!
(Meme! What are the characteristics of a meme!?)
(Most of the difficulty of previous missions focused on supernatural characteristics. Although there were also memetic characteristics, they were too weak! None of us were infected, and the only one who died due to cognitive errors was "Ender" himself.
!)
Scenes of memories emerged instantly, Lin An's pupils suddenly shrank, and the next second he rushed straight to the light door without hesitation!
Damn it! He knew it! There was no ultimate answer here, Ender was just using this question to lure him to stay!
Ender can't kill him! So he can only invade his mind by polluting his cognition!
As long as he accepts any logic, there will be a gap in his spiritual defense!
However, contrary to Lin An's expectation, Ander seemed not to care at all that he discovered the problem at this time, and had no intention of stopping him at all.
"Lin An, you are indeed very smart, but there is one thing you guessed wrong. That is, I am not polluting your knowledge. There is really an answer here."
"I'm going around and talking all this, not to delay time, nor to harm you."
"I just think"
"Measuring where the bottom line of the system is"
the voice behind
Suddenly far and suddenly near, Lin An's figure trembled, and his steps towards the exit stiffened and stopped.
He was not held back by Ender's words, but the light door was gone!
The light gate automatically generated by the system is missing!
(Why why did it disappear!?)
Before Lin An could turn around in shock, the next second, Ander's voice echoed throughout the world.
"Lin An, are you surprised?"
"The reason why the light gate disappears is because the mission is not over at all."
"If it was before the mutation, then the mission is indeed over. Unfortunately, the final mission is to kill me."
In an instant, the scene suddenly changed, as if the curtain had been removed, and a human head as big as the entire city instantly occupied Lin An's entire field of vision.
Looking at the heads at his feet, Lin An realized why Ander deliberately restricted them from seeing the whole city!
The huge mouth opens and closes, and the human head hangs in the void, just like an indescribable super being!
In the eyeball that was a thousand meters away, Ander seemed to be appreciating Lin An's horror and spoke with pity.
"Lin An, have you ever thought about why I asked you to leave with the body?"
"The answer is simple. There really is an ultimate power here that can fight against the system. It's just that the system has trapped me here and it doesn't allow me to take my knowledge out."
"The bear actually guessed it right. Your body is like a USB flash drive and can store information."
"I originally wanted to spread Ghost Skull's knowledge to everyone, in order to avoid the system's judgment."
"I don't want to offend the super being behind you. In the original plan, I even thought that even if there was a problem with the plan, that person would be able to save you and increase the probability of success."
After a pause, Ander sighed as he looked at Lin An, who was frozen in place, as if overlooking ants.
"It's a pity that you are too vigilant and you are aware of my existence."
"Then I can only take a gamble."
"Hey! The third phase of the mission has started! Please kill the Ghost Skull Mutant immediately!"
"The mission time limit is 180 seconds!!"
"Lin An, the Ghost Skull is not a second head. If you know it, you will become the Ghost Skull."
"I actually don't want you to turn into a ghost head, but just in case, I can only do this."
"But don't worry, I will take your body and live well."
"179!"
"178!"
As the countdown started, Lin An felt an invisible force suppressing him in front of the ghost head. As if snatching away his body, the head as big as a city kept approaching him.
Black mist mixed with sounds crazily penetrated from his mouth and nose, and instantly rushed into his consciousness!
"Lin An, give up your resistance."
"Even if you restart, you won't have time to escape."
"Don't you want to end the doomsday? Leave it to me and we will merge into one. I am the only awakened one!"
"Get out!!"
His face was distorted, as if heaven and man were at war. Looking at Lin An who was struggling constantly, he would rather burst his brain than be possessed.
Ender, who had turned into a ghost head, couldn't help but his eyes became colder.
"Lin An, it's meaningless for you to get out alive. I am the only one who can fight against the doomsday."
"Do you really think you have free will? You are just a ignorant wretch."
"Do you know? The reason why humans in this world go crazy is because they have seen the truth, and I am the only one who has broken the shackles.
exist!"
"Id, ego, superego!"
"Think about it carefully! If our actions are ahead of consciousness, then what is self-awareness!? Nothing we do has anything to do with self-awareness, and we only need biological instincts to survive!"
"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?"
