Inside the shimmering steel passage, there are ruins everywhere. This is an abandoned subway station.
[Narrator]: Ai Xi came to a subway station and decided to go in and take a look.
[Real Narrator]: Ai Xi came to a subway station and decided to go in and take a look.
【Narration】:……
The narrator is completely helpless towards this guy who claims to be the real narrator with a voice exactly like his own.
He is obviously the leader, but Ashe seems to be more inclined to that guy's guidance, which is simply disgusting.
Fortunately, even though Ai Xi was running around, he was still moving forward along the established path. As long as he kept going, he would see Judas sooner or later and complete his mission.
Under Xia Yu's control, Ai Xi crossed the suspended bomb with flexible movement and shuttled through the messy underground passage.
The flashing white arrows in the passage are also a kind of guidance, but since you want Ashe to awaken to herself, of course you should ignore the arrows and walk in the opposite direction.
[Narrator]: Ash ignored the arrow. Didn't she notice the uneasy atmosphere here?
[Real Narrator]: Ash ignored the arrow because she knew she didn't need guidance, she would see the truth with her own eyes.
[Narrator]: Big brother, I beg you, can you stop going against me? Ash, you can’t listen to him, I’m the one who won’t harm you, you really need to go back and follow the arrow
, your target is not here.
[Real Narrator]: Ash ignored the words in her ears. She decided to follow her own thoughts and continue walking in the opposite direction of the arrow.
In the real world, Xia Yu was teasing the narrator while manipulating Ai Xi to walk in the opposite direction.
He remembered that part of the truth about the "Chosen Son" could be discovered right here in the subway ruins, and this part of the truth could allow Ashe to develop herself faster.
As Ashe advances in the system world, mechanical enemies transformed from believers also appear. Although they are alive, they have already lost themselves due to despair.
"Huh? Why are the controls so smooth today?"
Looking at Ashe's silky combos on the screen, Xia Yu was a little confused. He usually couldn't pull off such handsome combos when he was making moves.
Rather than controlling Ashe's combos, it's more like Ashe is acting on her own, but when he stops controlling Ashe, Ashe will stop.
Xia Yu, who had no idea why, decided not to worry about it. Anyway, this was a good thing. Either his technique had become more sophisticated, or Ai Xi had begun to develop his own personality.
After finishing off the enemy with one burst, Xia Yu once again controlled Ai Xi to enter the hidden wall.
The next moment, a strange laboratory appeared in front of Ashe.
There are screens of all sizes hanging on the walls, and pictures are flashing on the screens, and those pictures are all...eyes!
Blue, amber, black, dark brown...
Eyes of various colors were flashing, and there was no emotion in them.
Those eyes are like robot eyes without emotion, but whether it's texture or anything else, it shows that they are human eyes.
There are rectangular static warehouses standing around, which can be seen from the transparent warehouse. Inside the warehouse are floating the mechanical enemies that Ash once encountered on the road.
Those robots were like corpses soaked in formalin, with one or two bubbles popping out occasionally, but because they were robots, it added a touch of weirdness.
Immediately afterwards, the narration sounded.
[Narrator]: Oh...Ashe, you just can't learn, can you?
[Narrator]: You always refuse to listen to my well-intentioned advice. I have emphasized it many times. Follow the arrow. I am not your enemy. Why do you always feel that I am harming you?
[Real Narrator]: Because Ashe knows that if you follow the arrow, you will never know the truth.
[Narrator]: Shut up!
[Narrator]: Do you just think that this road will lead to the so-called "truth"?
This time, Xia Yu did not use real narration to continue to sing the opposite, but manipulated Ai Xi into the next room.
The next room is similar to the previous room, but there are two differences. In one of the towering static chambers, what floats is not the former machine enemy, but a flying machine body.
Another difference is the screen. Although the other small screens are still flashing eyes, only the big screen in the center is flashing yellow seals.
The Yellow Seal is said to be the great mark of the One Who Shall Not Be Named when he was in the form of the King in Yellow. The Yellow Seal represents unparalleled benefits and power for those who seek the supernatural way.
But Hastur in the Ashe world is not the King in Yellow, but the Lord in Yellow. Although there is only one word difference, the meanings it represents are completely different.
At least it is certain that although this world has the background of the Old Ones, it is by no means the purest Cthulhu mythology.
Moreover, after Xia Yu manipulated Ai Xi into the room, he also carefully sensed the yellow seal flashing on the screen, but according to his perception, the yellow seal did not carry any special power, it was just an ordinary mark.
There were still mechanical enemies that suddenly appeared in the room. Just when Xia Yu was controlling Ai Xi to kill the enemy, the narrator spoke again.
[Narrator]: Everyone has their own inner demons. Why do you think this road will lead to the so-called "truth"?
[Narrator]: Perseverance and pursuit are just lies. Everyone’s true self has been predetermined by God, so why do you need to pursue the elusive “truth”?
[Narrator]: What you see with your eyes may not exist, but is just the projection of your inner demons. Are you sure that this "truth" is what you want to see?
Hearing the narrator's persuasion again, Xia Yu outside the system was a little silent. He didn't know if Ai Xi wanted to know the truth.
But the truth is called the truth because it is there, the true face of everything. Ignoring it like an ostrich cannot hide the truth.
While thinking about it, Xia Yu manipulated Ai Xi to step into the door leading to the truth.
And the truth behind the door was fully revealed.
[Narrator]: In fact, you have seen it a long time ago, whether it is their remains or your own remains.
Everything behind the door is similar to the first two rooms, but this time, what floats in the towering static chamber is no longer the mechanical enemy, but a flying machine body and a gray-haired girl.
The gray-haired girl was curled up naked in the static chamber, and her body was connected to a slender tube that emitted a faint blue light. Upon closer inspection, the gray-haired girl and Ashe had exactly the same face.
[Narrator]: You have vaguely seen the truth, but you didn’t look at it seriously because you only wanted to see what you wanted to see.
[Narrator]: You just want to confront me, so you deliberately don’t follow the path I planned for you, but in fact it’s meaningless, isn’t it?
After the narration was finished, when he was about to open up the so-called truth and restart everything, the screen suddenly got stuck.
[Real Narrator]: It makes sense to fight against you. After all, only by fighting against a designed program can you produce yourself faster, including you, right?
