There is rain in the world, and the bald monk is walking slowly in the rain.
The so-called human world in the world of cultivation is the area where ordinary people gather.
At this time, the bald monk was wearing a bamboo hat and straw sandals, and was holding an ordinary wooden staff in his hand.
He didn't cast any magic, he just walked on the muddy road like an ordinary ascetic in the world.
The drunkard is right behind him.
The drunkard always has a sad face.
It wasn't because the drizzle had soaked his clothes, or because walking on the muddy road was uncomfortable. On the contrary, the more this human smell made him feel closer, the closer he felt.
His frown was due to the fact that his wine gourd was heavier than usual and the stopper of the wine gourd could not be removed.
After the battle at Zhu Chong Mountain, although his wine gourd only stagnated in the air for a while before being able to move again, it wasn't until the bald monk took him away from Chong Chong Mountain for a long time and came to this unknown country of ordinary people that his wine gourd stopper
But still couldn't pull it off at all.
Although Yin Ran already understood that he was also an alien, after seeing the battle between Zhu Chong Mountain and Mingyue Zhai, the drunkard became more and more in awe of the bald monk.
After that battle, he thought that the bald monk would at least form an alliance with the man in the flying saucer, but what he didn't expect was that both the bald monk and the man in the flying saucer chose to leave Chongshu Mountain as soon as possible without even having too many conversations.
.
He didn't understand, but seeing the bald monk looking so worried, he didn't dare to ask.
"Why did you come here?"
He didn't dare to ask, but a voice asked.
The drunkard was shocked, and he looked towards the direction of the sound. He felt that the voice was very familiar, and it actually sounded like his own voice.
And the moment he saw that person, he was even more stunned.
He was also an alcoholic, dressed in rags, like a beggar who had no place to take shelter on a rainy day. Moreover, the alcoholic's facial features and figure obviously did not have much similarity with him, but for some reason, he saw the alcoholic's face.
For a moment, I suddenly had the illusion that I was looking in the mirror.
But what is certain is that there are many people who like to drink in the world. Since leaving the fishing village, he and the teacher have seen many drunkards smelling of alcohol, but this is the first time that he has such a strange feeling.
The bald monk stopped.
The crystal raindrops slowly fell from the edge of his bamboo hat, drifting diagonally in the direction of the ragged drunkard.
The drunkard looked at the bald monk apologetically and said, "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions and I don't want to fight with you."
The bald monk's eyes darkened, and he did not answer his previous question, but asked instead: "Who are you, and how did you find my traces?"
The ragged drunkard said: "The reason why I found you is because of him."
The bald monk turned his head and glanced at the drunkard beside him, his eyebrows moved slightly, "Are you the same existence?"
"Judging from the current situation, the possibility is extremely high." The ragged drunkard said with a bitter smile: "My surname is Wen, which means Wen Jiu, and my courtesy name is Liangsheng. At least that's the name in my memory. I haven't seen Zhu Chong.
When I saw the mountain scene, I never doubted my memory and my birth."
There was a trace of ridicule on the bald monk's lips, "But after meeting him, you realized that you might be NPCs with different roles based on the same model? Realize that your similarities and differences are just because you can reduce modeling.
, save some costs?”
Wen Liangsheng smiled bitterly. He looked at the awkward drunkard next to the bald monk and said, "What's your name?"
"Me?" The drunkard wanted to drink nervously, but when he subconsciously mentioned the wine gourd, he realized that the stopper of the wine gourd still couldn't be opened. He gulped and swallowed, "I...there is never anyone in our place.
Anyone who cares about my name calls me a drunkard."
Wen Liangsheng looked at him and said calmly: "Logically speaking, everyone should have a name. Don't worry, you can think about it again."
The drunkard calmed down a little. He thought about it and really remembered a name, and said: "It seems that my surname is Lan, and my name is Lan Lingsheng."
The bald monk suddenly laughed out loud, "I'm still a ghost, I'm still smiling."
The drunkard didn't know what the bald monk meant by that. He had a confused look on his face and didn't know what to say, but he looked at Wen Liangsheng and seemed to be silently telling him that this was the name.
Wen Liangsheng nodded and thanked him.
The bald monk sneered again and looked at Wen Liangsheng, "Are you considered a completely awakened NPC? Have you found people like him, or how many people like you are there?"
Wen Liangsheng said: "So far, I have only felt that he is probably the same as what you said. Only based on the same character model, will there be certain commonalities, and I can perceive it."
"I feel like you don't mean what you mean." The sneer on the bald monk's face became more obvious, "I'm afraid that although you understand your origins, you still feel that artificial humans like you have a certain degree of specialness. It's just that
I don’t want to admit that your existence is just a random identity given to you by the designers of this cultivation world."
"You may be right, but you don't understand what I really mean." Wen Liangsheng looked at the bald monk, hesitated slightly, and said, "Maybe you don't know enough about the ins and outs. I and another person like me are
The people who exist, in a sense, can be regarded as the servants of Ellie, and Ellie is the creator of Mingyue Zhai who makes the demons and genetic beasts fight against you."
The bald monk was slightly startled, but this was something he had not expected.
"If it counts as awakening, then we have already awakened hundreds of years after the World Destruction War." Wen Liangsheng looked at the bald monk. He was sure that the bald monk seemed to know more than he thought, so he felt that the other party should listen.
Understand, "I and another being like me have spent an extremely long time with Ellie, so we are pretty sure that she should only have two servants like us."
"We all thought that we were ordinary players trapped in the world of cultivation. The reason why we did things for her was just because she helped us retrieve our memories. And as we are also survivors of the old era, we naturally have a certain sense of psychological identity, because
From our original point of view, everyone in the world of cultivation now has a different origin than us." Wen Liangsheng's eyes fell on the drunkard again, "But during the live broadcast of the battle on Zhuchong Mountain, after I saw him
, but began to doubt my origin, I felt that I might really be the same existence as him, but was injected with memories selected by Ellie."
The bald monk smiled slightly and said: "That's about the same. One was implanted with an identity when activated by the game designer, and the other was selected by a creator after the Battle of World Destruction and implanted with memory.
.”
Wen Liangsheng nodded slowly and said, "But any choice should be related to interests. What I want to understand now is why Ellie chose me and that other person."
The bald young monk said: "So you think maybe you, like Lan Lingsheng, have some special characteristics in character models."
"Being able to exist means having special characteristics." Wen Liangsheng nodded and said: "Maintaining immortality means constant replacement. Over tens of thousands of years, this energy consumption has been huge. If there were no special characteristics, for the world of cultivation back then,
For manufacturers, in order to save costs, there is no need to create characters like us that can be close to immortality. They only need to replace them. If the old one is damaged, just replace it with a new one."
The bald monk narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I admit that what you said makes sense."
Wen Liangsheng said: "According to my knowledge of wandering throughout the world of cultivation for tens of thousands of years, I have indeed seen the remains of many NPCs who died after aging. This is also one of the reasons why I do not doubt myself, because I am indeed related to
They are different, but according to various current signs, it seems that only special NPCs have survived, and only such special characters can break through the inherent limitations of game rules. For example, he can break away from fixed scenes and express
Develop unique capabilities.”
The bald monk's eyes narrowed into a thin line, "So what you're saying now is that you want to find out the truth, and you're no longer considered Ellie's servant?"
Wen Liangsheng said: "The pursuit of the truth is the beginning of my life at this time."
The bald monk was silent for a moment and said: "I won't tell you why I came here, because this is my secret, and I don't have enough trust in you. What is your intention now? Do you want to take Lan Lingsheng away?
Or what do you want to do?”
Wen Liangsheng looked at him and said seriously: "If you don't let me take him away, at least allow me to stay with him for a while."
The bald monk hesitated for a moment and sneered: "It's up to you."
Wen Liangsheng saluted him and said sincerely: "Thank you very much."
The bald monk said no more, he turned around and started walking towards a village ahead with burning cooking smoke.
After the battle at Zhu Chong Mountain, Wen Liangsheng completely doubted his life, and he also began to doubt himself.
In the eyes of most powerful people in the world of cultivation at this time, the bald monk really appeared out of nowhere.
No one knows where the bald monk came from or how he got such amazing boxing skills.
But the bald monk himself didn’t know.
As soon as he starts to remember, he will have some special dreams and have some special intuitions.
He thought this might be a unique talent.
But when he was at Zhu Chong Mountain, he felt a driving force from outside for the first time.
He began to suspect that even the intuition that popped up in his mind might be controlled by others.
In this case, what is the difference between him and Wen Liangsheng? They are just puppets at the mercy of others.
Outside this human village was the place where he first had memories.
According to his knowledge, he should have been born nearby, and then he might have been abandoned nearby.
