Chapter 105:
From the beginning of the dungeon, Tang Xiao never believed that the so-called "trip to return to Earth" was really just a trip.
The dilapidated and desolate spaceship environment has obviously been abandoned for a long time. Couldn't find anything to advertise the trip other than a short clip looping on a small screen. It's not so much a cheap tour group composed of poor tourists, but it's more like someone found a travel agency that has abandoned the spaceship for a long time, and hurriedly embarked on this fixed route.
The self-report of "passenger" is also full of loopholes.
Even Lin Yuan, who remembered it best, just said that he had picked up a promotional poster and stumbled onto the spaceship. Of course this argument does not hold water.
There is an obvious fault in everyone's memory.
This is also the case. They turn a blind eye to the strangeness on the spacecraft, and they don't know why.
Through the information left by the original owner, Tang Xiao has already deduced that this spaceship has experienced an accident in the universe, so that what has happened can be relived, the dead are resurrected, and the memory is reset. Even the "Devil Seed" could not defy this power, and it had spread to the growth state of the entire spaceship, and was abruptly reversed to the budding period.
reset.
It is not only the tragedies that have occurred that are reset, but also the memory and cognition of all people. The resurrected people were in a daze, and when they first woke up, they saw the travel promotional film displayed on the small light screen, and they really thought they were passengers on the spacecraft, and they continued the "trip" without noticing.
Lin Yuan was also lucky enough to be reborn. She had already forgotten all about it, but the seed of the devil was rooted in her brain, and as the seed of the devil continued to grow, she was forced to recall The fact that happened, two completely different memories, two opposite time and space overlapping, drove Lin Yuan to madness.
According to Tang Xiao's guess, the time Lin Yuan remembered the truth was when Aogu returned to the cabin with a bunch of metal tools and made a harsh sound.
and discord.
…
The information carried in the "Devil Seed" came like a tide, no one could have imagined that this small seed contained such a huge amount of information. Even if Tang Xiao was prepared, his Consciousness Sea was still a little swollen, so he unceremoniously threw the blame to the system.
"Luo Er, can you control it?"
The small light group is as stable as a rock in the sea of consciousness.
Luo Er's cute and cute voice sounded: "My current level is too low to convert it into the energy I need, but I can store it in my core, and slowly as my level increases Digestion."
Tang Xiao nodded: "Okay, you store it first, wait until my strength is enough, then release it and slowly refine it."
Devil Seed: ? ? ?
What about symbiosis? What about the good carrier? Said that the spiritual realm welcomes me?
Who knew there was a system in your head?
False propaganda is not easy!
In fact, Tang Xiao himself did not expect that the system would actually be the nemesis of the Demon Seed.
The seed of the devil is immortal, has powerful spreading and contagious power, and can regenerate infinitely. No matter how advanced technology is, it can only control it for a while. It was eroded and disintegrated in just a few months, and the horror is evident.
Tang Xiao's original plan was to suppress it with spiritual power first, and wait for the spacecraft to land on Earth before taking action.
—Even if it is a nightmare copy, it will not give a completely unsolvable dead end. The level of danger of the Demon Seed is far greater than the difficulty of the real world. Even if you think about it with your hair, Tang Xiao's mission is definitely not to destroy it.
The greatest possibility should be a race against time to prevent the spaceship from spreading to the point of killing the entire ship before it reaches the earth. After arriving on Earth, the Demon Seed will naturally meet its nemesis.
Luo Er: [Host, I don't know... that this will happen. 】
There is no "Devil Seed" data in its database at all, and the Alliance has no precedent for the system to live in the player's sea of knowledge, so naturally they don't know that the system itself and "Devil Seed" actually It is the existence of the same dimension, and it can even restrain each other!
The terrifying contagious assimilation power of the devil's seed encounters the system, like a weak spark submerged in a pond, unable to stir up the slightest wave, but the system can easily catch it.
If it wasn't for the level restriction, Tang Xiao had no doubt that Luo Er might perform a "swallowed like one bite" to supplement the lacking energy tank.
Luo Er: [Host, strictly speaking, we are only in the same dimension that can interact, not equal to the same kind. Just like computer programs and viruses, both are essentially code, but they do not belong to the same category. 】
Given enough time, I can crack its code and turn it into a part of the program. 】
This metaphor moved Tang Xiao's heart. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "So, this inner world is equivalent to a host that has lost its anti-virus function, so it will be invaded by viruses, right?"
Luo Er: […That’s understandable. 】
It has never considered this issue. Although it feels a little strange at this moment, it still has to admit that from a logical point of view, there is no problem with what the host said.
Tang Xiao: "What role does the player play here? Antivirus software? Or a hacker?"
Luo Er: [This... The situation of different copies is different, and the database information is insufficient, so it cannot be fully summarized. 】
If the player is anti-virus software, it is obviously wrong - the player generally does not have the strength of anti-virus, and it is good not to be killed by the virus. What's more, the player is a human, not a program, and is a "savior" recognized by the alliance, which is fundamentally different from countless dungeon worlds and even NPCs.
If you describe it as a hacker, it is even more wrong - a hacker can control programs and viruses, write code to attack or maintain a host. But the player is controlled by the system (program) and the copy world (host), and is forced to complete the task, or die if he fails to complete it.
At this point, Luo Er stopped.
This is a paradox.
According to this set of relationship system, there is no need for players at all between the host, antivirus software and virus!
Because the player's only positioning can only be a hacker, but there is no need for hackers in this system, nor is there a hacker that overrides the system.
[The reason why the system has been modified is to prevent the evolution of the savior. ]
! !
This piece of information suddenly appeared in Luo Er's database without thinking, the small light group suddenly flashed twice, and then fell into the sea of consciousness, a very sluggish picture appearance.
Tang Xiao: "What's wrong?"
Luo Er shook it to restart, the little light group flashed in the sea of consciousness, and answered honestly: [I seem to have seen a sentence just now, which caused the program to fluctuate. This may be related to the core content,]
Xiaoguang Tuan thought about it and added: [Luo Erhui will work hard to upgrade, and strive to find an accurate answer with the host as soon as possible. 】
Tang Xiao smiled, she said, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you can't find the answer. This is not something you should think about in the first place."
Life and death, this is a grim choice for players. This is her own challenge, and the answer should be found by herself. There is no need to put the responsibility on the system.
With these thoughts gathered, Tang Xiao no longer struggled. In the absence of information, too much guesswork is just self-defeating.
In the end, she had already made up her mind, leaned on the seat and prepared to rest, the system still couldn't get out of the previous topic, and said seriously: [I will really work hard. 】
Tang Xiao: "…"
She saw that she was standing alone in the sea of consciousness, her energy was depleted, and she was alone. For the first time, she felt that she might have gone too far with the dog system.
Although the dog system is very dog, Luo Er is still a child!
After a few seconds of self-reproach, she continued to sleep without any psychological burden.
Six hours later.
Twelve hours before the spacecraft reaches Earth.
Tang Xiao woke up, dragged Aogu to the next storage room, found the remaining food, and dragged it in front of all the passengers.
Only this time, she did not mean to share the food, but ordered Bafodo to pack the food in strict accordance with many portions and pack it with water, which made everyone wonder its solution.
Faced with weak doubts, Tang Xiao calmly said, "A thousand years ago, the earth's environment changed dramatically, countless species perished, and the surface desertification water resources decreased. Get used to life there and learn to find food instead of starving?"
Bafordo: "Cough, the travel agency has a base station and a reception there, we will definitely not starve to death."
Tang Xiao: "What if the travel agency goes bankrupt and the base station is abandoned?"
"We can ask the Covenant for help."
Tang Xiao: "The spaceship is dilapidated and the base station is scrapped, how do you transmit the signal? Do you generate electricity for love? Even if the signal can reach the Covenant, will the Covenant receive it?"
“…”
On the one hand, everyone felt that Tang Xiao was making trouble unreasonably, on the other hand, for some unknown reason, they also vaguely felt that what she said was very reasonable.
Next, Tang Xiao relentlessly asked them to collect metal tools with Aogu, as if to prepare for "survival in the wilderness".
The Dutters: "Ahem, we're too old, I'm afraid we can't do this kind of heavy work."
Tang Xiao: "It doesn't matter, you are old and strong, and the two Aogu are not your opponents. Mutated creatures are likely to appear on the earth now, and this ship's facilities are old. When you airdrop them into dangerous areas in the wild, you must at least have life-saving tools."
"Don't think of yourself as a tourist, think of yourself as a doomsday survivor, and correct your mentality, so that when you discover the truth in the future, you will cry less."
Everyone: ...arranged clearly.
The demon seed outside the main control room has been resolved. Tang Xiao is now light-hearted, and naturally has to race against time to prepare for the next thing he will return to Earth. In the eyes of everyone, Tang Xiao suddenly tore off his gentle disguise and became ruthless, which made them feel aggrieved and indifferent at the same time.
The only one who cooperated unexpectedly was Lin Yuan who was too weak before. She silently obeyed Tang Xiao's instructions, let her move things, let the cabinets be dismantled, and stopped crying. Even in the face of Aogu, there is no fear before, but he often shows complicated expressions.
After successfully getting rid of the control of the demon seed, she is the only person who has all the memories, and besides Tang Xiao, the only passenger on the spacecraft who clearly understands the situation.
So looking at other people like two fools without any sense of worry, I really take this as a trip, I can't help feeling complicated, and I can't help but feel guilty.
Lin Yuan knows that the memory dislocation is only temporary. When everyone reaches the earth, they will restore their memory sooner or later. Before that, all he can do is to atone for it.
Jensen became frowning.
He is a typical person who can't live without a woman. Before, he finally "impressed" a weak and weak Lin Yuan, but when he woke up, Lin Yuan suddenly became polite and cold to him again, from time to time Showing the guilty look of "you are a good person".
Look at the other ladies, Mamanli hates him, Tang Xiao is a big guy who dare not talk to him. Jenson was silent, he felt that his heart of a romantic boy had been shattered in this journey.
Equally unhappy, and August.
He looked at Tang Xiao worriedly from time to time, expressing his worries in clumsy language: "Tang Xiao, are you leaving?"
Augur is not good at communication, but his intuition is amazing.
Tang Xiao smiled at him: "There is no such thing as a feast in the world. When you return to Earth, I will leave."
August was a little anxious, he shook his head: "No, no Earth, don't go, it's a friend."
Tang Xiao corrected him: "If you want the earth, the earth is the most important thing, understand?"
Aogu looked at the friend in front of him with a vague understanding, and finally nodded solemnly, "Okay, if you want the earth, you need it."
The spacecraft broke away from the state of curvature sailing, and a familiar galaxy appeared on the electronic screen.
In this galaxy, there is an azure planet, silently, waiting for them from afar.
