End of Mystery

What does this feel like?

Xiao Xiao felt that he was no longer a person, but a machine.

When you are in the starting state, you feel like you are omnipotent because you are exerting your own performance.

Therefore, whether he is facing a stranger or a mysterious source, he basically has no feeling of fear now, because no one can confront his increasingly powerful machine that is running crazily.

But until he met this group of people from the Lost Island, he felt completely restrained.

It seems that he is really just a machine facing the fate of being shut down. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot resist the control from the source.

He was confused and powerless about the occurrence of this kind of thing.

Vision, hearing, and perception have all been stripped away step by step, and now Xiao Xiao only has his thinking ability left.

He seemed to be imprisoned in a huge black cage. He couldn't see anything, couldn't hold anything, and couldn't control anything.

The only thing I have is my thinking. Unfortunately, this thinking does not seem to have any external equipment. It can only run empty and without any meaning...

...No, there is a little bit more.

Xiao Xiao could feel Yang Jia's presence at this time, and she couldn't help but want to take action.

At this time, Xiao Xiao didn't know why he could feel Yang Jia. Maybe it was because of the platinum ring that bound the two of them to each other, so Yang Jia still had a little bit of his remaining consciousness, and that little bit of consciousness allowed him to Maintaining contact with the outside world, although that little bit of consciousness is so weak that it is almost negligible, but like a person in the abyss, everything is dark and only a little bit of light can be seen, but this light at least represents , this world is not so dark...

Xiao Xiao used this little bit of consciousness to influence Yang Jia and warned her not to take action.

Because he could feel that when he fought against these people carrying silver suitcases, he was not fighting against power, but something deeper.

If Yang Jia takes action, it will have no effect and will only sink into the same situation as himself.

Of course, if it were another person, in the current state, he would probably panic and not even be able to form his thoughts, let alone think about others.

However, the ability to think explosively gave Xiao Xiao more time to calm down. Even in the face of this sudden and incomprehensible attack, he could still try his best to think hard and perceive hard.

With the little bit of consciousness left in Yang Jia, he could sense the outside world.

…

…

"Why isn't it over yet?"

At the same time, Xiao Xiao stood silently on the real level, surrounded by undulating spiritual waves.

Standing opposite him, the man with a suitcase in his hand could not help but frown. He held the headset with his fingers and asked in a low voice: "Has the instruction to shut down the mind been issued?"

"It has been sent."

On the other end of the headset, a rustling voice sounded, sounding a little anxious: "The brain here has been successfully shut down, and he should also have achieved the stillness of his thinking at the same time."

The man with the suitcase in his hand took a deep look at Xiao Xiao and immediately shook his head: "Not yet."

"The closure has reached 99%, but it is still short of the last line..."

"You think you are fighting for Xixi, why can't you make progress at the last bit?"

"..."

"Big... probably because he is somewhat different from other experimental subjects."

The person on the other end of the headset was also struggling to explain: "Maybe it's because he fed himself too much pain, or maybe, after all, he is the No. 0 drug tester with a 100% source synchronization rate, so his resistance is better than others. The experimental subject is stronger."

"However, it can be clearly felt that the progress has not stopped and has been moving forward."

"It's just that the walking speed is a little slower..."

"..."

The man carrying the silver suitcase immediately asked: "How much slower?"

"...the kind that stops indefinitely."

"..."

"call……"

At this time, both parties finally couldn't talk anymore. The man carrying the silver suitcase immediately said: "Is there any other way? Increase the intensity."

"We cannot stay in this chaotic spiritual world for too long."

"..."

"Of course there is a way."

The person on the other end of the headset said: "The signal here has definitely been sent out and it has taken effect. He has shut down so many brain areas, which means there is no problem with reception."

"Then the only thing we can adjust is the influence of the spiritual ocean on him."

"Then, increase the power output!"

"..."

As this suggestion was put forward, the island hidden outside this world deliberately maintained a connection with the shepherd. A group of scientific researchers in white coats also immediately got busy. Adjust the surrounding computers, and all these computers are connected to the surrounding rows of almost endless transparent glass jars. The glass jars are all filled with brains, forming a huge and weird... The human brain matrix, countless electric currents, are transmitted between these human brains and are effective.

"Mr. Shepherd, this is your only chance to visit the facilities on the island, so I hope you can see it clearly."

Another person stood in front of the human brain matrix and explained to the shepherd who was connected: "The Black Forest has always controlled the world, never giving up, and never losing its advantage."

"You should know that our world has given birth to its own will and split into twelve guides."

"It's just that what is often misunderstood is that the will of the world was not born by itself, but is part of our world upgrade plan."

"..."

The shepherd looked at all this with shock and greed, and couldn't help but ask: "What about Dante and Hell..."

"They also possess fragments of the world's will."

The guide said calmly: "They did snatch some of them, but there are also some that the Black Forest specially asked them to find."

"Why?"

The shepherd suddenly didn't understand: If the Black Forest really had such great privileges, how could it allow others to obtain the fragments of the world's will?

If you give it to others, wouldn’t you no longer be complete?

"The will of the world does not need to be complete, but needs to be constantly eliminated and driven out of some impurities."

The leader said coldly: "So, we don't mind if some of the fragments of the world's will are obtained by others. Of course, we must also admit that those two lunatic organizations still have some abilities of their own."

"Ever since they began to fulfill their contract with the Black Forest and help imprison the woman temporarily, they have been negotiating this part of the conditions."

"The top management of Black Forest discussed it and thought it would not harm the overall situation, so they were allowed to get it."

"It's just that whether it's the four items in the hands of the Dante organization or the three items in the hands of the Hell organization, it actually doesn't matter, because the Black Forest has always held the most important five items... …”

"..."

"five items?"

The shepherd was slightly surprised. This was somewhat different from what he thought.

The leader, however, was extremely calm and told the key to the matter: "Yes, the mysterious guide code-named the Destiny Compass that appeared in Black Gate City has always been under the control of the Black Forest. "

"It was sent to Black Gate City to cooperate with you and guide the Pioneer Plan."

"So, part of your discussion with your men earlier was right. Black Forest has never given up on its world upgrade plan."

"What's different from what you think is that not only did we not give up, we never even stopped."

"Even though the out-of-control mental resonance plan caused us a lot of losses and almost caused the situation to get out of control, we never stopped."

"..."

"this……"

The shepherd's lips quivered.

He was once disappointed with the top management of the Black Forest, thinking that those old guys were frightened by the mysterious power controlled by the strangers, and were tied up and could not do anything well.

How could such a black forest be worthy of the pattern that changed the world?

It wasn't until now that he suddenly realized that the group of people who let him down were just the supervisors of a branch. In fact, they were placed there deliberately to attract attention. The real top management of the Black Forest had never let him down. , and even made myself feel fear. They were a group of people who almost destroyed the entire world, but did not hesitate to continue their research the next day. They were paranoid, arrogant, cold-blooded, and only had their own ambitions and ambitions in their eyes. Plans, even, don’t consider the consequences of failure…

Or maybe it was just that the former Black Forest had such a great influence on the world that no one could restrain them in reality?

"if……"

He waited for a long time before slowly speaking: "Or maybe you have really been paying attention to all this and are in control of it all. Then what is the meaning of the existence of the laboratory in Black Gate City?"

"Why were you... willing to delegate power to me in the previous Pioneer Project?"

"..."

The leader listened to his words, and suddenly there was a slight silence. After a long time, he said: "We also had a period of uncertainty. We need some bold people to make more attempts."

"this……"

As if sensing his hesitation, the shepherd suddenly understood and took a deep breath:

"So you have been confused and scared before?"

"The Pioneer Plan was authorized to us because you were overwhelmed by all the chaos during that time?"

"Through this unique experimental subject, we have broken the situation that has made you so anxious. Through him, we have promoted the Noah plan, and now we even see hope of success..."

"But since you have already chosen to believe it before, why do you want to intervene now?"

"..."

The guide turned his head coldly and glanced at the shepherd on the screen, seeming to strongly disagree with what he just said.

But for a moment, I didn't know what words to use to shut him up.

"I see……"

On the contrary, meeting his eyes, the shepherd had a vague feeling of enlightenment: "You still don't believe him, because the possibility of success is getting closer and closer, and you are getting more and more worried."

"I'm worried that something might change, so I want to control him more deeply..."

"..."

"call……"

It was only at this moment that the conductor breathed a sigh of relief and responded lightly: "Those experimental subjects are just a group of lunatics after all. How can anyone believe them?"

"The Noah plan must be successful, so the execution of the final plan must be reliable."

"..."

"Hehehehe..."

After listening to his words, the shepherd knew that his guess was confirmed. For a moment, he didn't know what kind of emotions were surging in his heart. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and slowly asked word by word:

"If this is the case, then I have a question..."

"Is it more dangerous to believe in a madman, or to try to completely control a madman?"

"..."

This sudden question suddenly caused the leader, as well as those who had been paying attention to the experimental body recovery plan, to suddenly fall into deep thought.

In the laboratory, the air was still and eerily quiet.

After a long time, someone seemed to be venting his anger and shouted with all his strength: "Increase the spiritual ocean's indoctrination into him."

"Complete the recovery of Drug Tester No. 0!"

"immediately!"

"Even, start right now and forcibly adjust him!"

"..."

The huge human brain matrix began to release the signal that shut down Xiao Xiao's thinking ability, gathering the power of five world will fragments, affecting the entire spiritual ocean, overwhelming the sky, and converging towards Xiao Xiao.

All power has only one goal, to influence Xiao Xiao and shut him down completely.

…

…

"It turns out to be the power of the world's will?"

When the turbulent and huge power attacked Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao also had some enlightenment in his heart.

He now does not know what is being said and done on the Lost Island, and he does not even know how he was shut down. The remaining consciousness in Yang Jia is not enough for him to complete such a large and precise observation. , however, now that he only has his thinking ability still functioning, he can feel the huge spiritual power around him, which is trying to influence and change himself. In this unlimited extended time, he After ruling out all possibilities, I slowly began to realize the problem...

I don’t understand how the original principle was realized, but I can understand how the will of the world now affects me.

It is very simple for the world's will to shut itself down.

This world can shape us into whatever shape it wants, and it will not accept your personal confrontation.

You can be a person with low self-esteem, or you can be a proud person. You can be decent and confident, calmly dealing with everyone, or you can be low-self-esteem and shy, unwilling to face the people around you.

But this is not who you are.

Because the power of the world starts from childhood, starting from genes, and shapes you bit by bit.

A confident and calm person may become a person with low self-esteem and sensitivity if he changes his living environment since childhood and experiences the environment that others need to experience.

Our family background, growth environment, even appearance, and even genes are all given to us by this world.

That "I".

The pure, true "I" has nothing to praise at all.

Today, Xiao Xiao feels the changes that this world has made to him, and he doesn’t know where this world got its original data. At least it knows what frequency and state it needs to reach before it can be shut down, so it You can use various abilities and methods to try to complete your own transformation, but you have to admit that this method is very effective for you. Now, except for the ability to think explosively, which can prolong the process, you no longer have any Methods……

I have been squeezed to the deepest part of this world, and I am still sinking.

If you can't escape the will of the world, you can only let it be manipulated.

I can even feel that in this sinking process, my past experiences and memories have begun to become distorted.

He doesn't know, is the changed self in the past still himself?

…

…

"The people on the Lost Island finally couldn't help but take action..."

In another place, the secret operation of the Lost Island was still noticed by some people with special perception abilities.

The two leaders of the Dante Organization and the Hell Organization seemed to be struggling: "Should we choose to help him, or should we take the opportunity to complete our plan preparations?"

"We gave him a chance."

The old president of the Dante organization said calmly: "If he had chosen to join us at that time, we were even willing to leave a seat for him, but he did nothing after all."

"Then we have no other choice."

"Let's go..."

"This world has always been like this. The only thing we can do is escape..."

"..."

"That's it?"

In Black Gate City, the woman in a white skirt looked out the window. Her own power was joining a massive adaptation operation. She was unwilling, but unable to disobey this order.

Just like people are always driven by desire, so is she.

But she was really reluctant. She could feel that the child was becoming another person, and she couldn't help but think of him in the past. She sat on the sofa, faced herself, and murmured:

"Why, no one wants to help her?"

"..."

What a naive idea...

It's a pity that this world despises innocence and is never willing to give it a chance.

…

…

Vaguely, he felt that the pressure around him was getting bigger and bigger, and Xiao Xiao sank deeper and deeper, so deep that even Yang Jia could no longer feel it.

In this endless sinking space, he didn't know if he was hallucinating. It was as if the darkness around him had come to life and turned into huge flesh and blood. They were swelling and crowded, and they were spread out layer by layer in front of him. , I seem to be becoming a part of this huge flesh and blood, and this huge gap makes me face this huge flesh and blood, without the slightest ability to resist, I can only become a member of it, completely controlled by it, to Execute any instruction it gives you...

Until he suddenly heard a sigh: "You're here too..."

Xiao Xiao felt a familiar breath. As he thought about it, a slight light seemed to appear in his field of vision, and he saw an old man.

At first, he didn't think of it, but gradually, the familiar aura began to take shape, and finally, he realized who he was seeing.

This old man in a white suit with a gloomy face looked at him with deep and powerless eyes.

Xiao Xiao remembered that he had met him once, when he inherited the old guild leader contract of Black Gate City.

He is the dead president of Black Gate City.

"So, this is where the dead end up?"

He looked at the old president, hesitated slightly, and thought curiously.

"This is a prison of despair, but it is not a place for the dead."

The old president sighed in a low voice: "In the spiritual world, there is no concept of death. In the group, the spiritual power of all people will be gathered in one place. Therefore, people who die in reality will also be in the spiritual ocean. Continue to exist until time becomes longer and longer, so long that no one remembers him, and so long that he can no longer affect anyone, he gradually disappears and becomes part of this huge ocean, but it is still What exists is just the loss of self-awareness..."

Listening to his words, Xiao Xiao gradually remembered the advice he gave him when he first met him.

Those words at that time, in my opinion, even had no meaning, the so-called "don't forget hope", and the fact that I might have been wrong...

Now, Xiao Xiao understood why he said that at that time, but it was of no use.

"So, you who have been trying to escape before have always been just a pawn in the hands of Lost Island. That's why you said you can't escape?"

Xiao Xiao looked at him, and his voice suddenly sounded sarcastic: "But you still said you wanted us to escape, so what's the use? You already know what you're fighting against, and you still think we can win?"

"You also erased half of the information in the Ten Commandments of the Stranger. What do you want to express?"

"You said we could escape eventually, but how?"

"..."

"I did fail, and I failed miserably."

The old president's voice was low and weak, and he choked out: "I once wanted to lead people to escape from this weird world and return to the normal world we are familiar with, but I found that I was wrong. We were just living in a fantasy. It’s only here, and it’s so difficult to escape from fantasy, so I also thought that I want to end it all, I want to take that big ship, go to the mysterious end, close the singularity, and let me and Anyone who is willing to believe in me can truly get rid of this endless pain..."

"But it's also disappointing."

The old president said slowly: "We are too weak. In front of the will of the world, we are just a part."

"The trigger was pulled, not knowing that it was about to shoot a murderous bullet."

"I don't understand why my plan to save people ended up being a murderous journey, so I also thought about destroying all these plans..."

"Of course, I still didn't do it."

"First of all, too many people believed in me, and I couldn't bear to see their disappointed expressions."

"Secondly, the world doesn't allow me to do this, so they killed me and imprisoned me in this desperate world forever."

"..."

"In that case..."

Xiao Xiao looked at the weathered and unreal face and whispered: "Why didn't you just tell me to give up from the beginning?"

"Why do you promise me that I can escape?"

"..."

"because……"

The old president's answer seemed a bit difficult and extremely unreal: "If you despair from the beginning, you will truly sink into the abyss."

"This world is like this..."

"If you give up struggling, you will sink into the abyss. If you keep struggling, you may eventually sink into the abyss, but you will still be slower than others..."

"..."

"so……"

As Xiao Xiao listened, he suddenly felt excited and seemed to wake up a little.

He realized again that there was no old president around him, and there was no darkness turned into flesh and blood. There was only his own consciousness, sinking into the deepest part of his mind.

Because my brain is being transformed, I am now in deep despair.

Did the old president really have a conversation with him, or was it just his understanding of the old president, shaping him, and trying to have a spiritual communication with him?

This exchange didn't seem to change anything, but it still gave him a strong sense of unwillingness. He almost tried his best to feel the remaining consciousness he had left with Yang Jia, and through this consciousness, he observed Yang Jia In his eyes, he couldn't seem to see any difference, but in the chaotic mental turmoil, the man carrying the suitcase was approaching him step by step, and softly said some confusing words: "Number Zero, don't fall into this false self-impression anymore."

"You need to recognize reality so that you understand that some things are going to happen."

"Like, this little boy who starved to death in the streets."

"For example, the woman who became a stepping stone for the world upgrade plan..."

"Go ahead..."

"..."

He said slowly: "Don't fight against this world, and no one can fight against this world. We just need to recognize this world and become a member of it..."

From Yang Jia's perspective, he seemed to be moved and nodded subconsciously.

Yang Jia was probably frightened by this scene. She didn't know that she was no longer herself. She just hesitated and worried, not daring to speak or touch herself at this time.

"yes……"

He suddenly sighed in a low voice: "This world has always been like this."

"There will always be a little boy who will starve to death on the street, there will always be a man who will drown in life, and there will always be someone who will collapse in a cafe with painful memories due to other people's reasons... "

"What about the rotten little girl?"

"What about the male patients who live in pain and the female caregivers who die in despair?"

"..."

He was thinking in his heart, and in reality, he seemed to say it involuntarily: "This world has always been like this, and it does not accept change."

"We can only do something by adapting to this world."

"Or, escape."

"..."

"Um?"

The man holding the suitcase seemed slightly startled, and his face suddenly brightened. He could feel that Xiao Xiao's spiritual world seemed to be changing rapidly in the direction he expected.

"Progress has begun again..."

At the same time, the scientific researchers on the Lost Island were also very excited: "Although it has not been 100% closed, the adjustments to it have achieved unexpected results..."

"Is the experiment really going to succeed?"

"..."

They stared at the screen closely, not daring to breathe, but full of nervous anticipation.

"Really changed him?"

Even the shepherd who was currently connected to them had a slightly changed expression.

He didn't know how to describe his feelings. Indeed, since he was from the Black Forest, he should be on the side of the Lost Island. He even said that the Lost Island's willingness to connect with him meant that his previous work had been recognized by them. , they are absorbing him. Only by agreeing with them and agreeing with them can he join the Lost Island, which is the real Black Forest. But he doesn’t know why, watching the No. 0 tester being reprogrammed, he actually feels like Very sad...

"But……"

Similarly, when everyone was full of hope and watched a new, controlled, and real executor of the Noah Project appear, Xiao Xiao murmured imperceptibly:

"I really don't like this kind of world..."

"..."

"What?"

On the practical level, the special correspondent who stared closely at Xiao Xiao suddenly frowned: "You don't like it?"

"Does this world need you to like it?"

"What can you do?"

"..."

Xiao Xiao remained silent, and then, who seemed to have shut down countless areas of his brain and made adjustments, he suddenly stepped up and walked in one direction.

That's where the dead little boy was.

He saw the little boy through Yang Jia, and tried to control his body with the power of the spiritual ocean.

Step by step, he slowly walked towards the little boy, and as he was doing this, three eyes began to slowly split out. Those were his eyes of the discerner, and they were his own things that were lost. The brain on the island has the same structure as him, but it does not have these three eyes. What that brain can do is shut down Xiao Xiao, but when Xiao Xiao is not completely shut down, it Nothing could stop him from controlling these three eyes.

And these three eyes are gradually overlapping.

So, in the dark red field of vision, the little boy in Xiao Xiao's eyes was beginning to rewind his life. He gradually woke up and held his chin.

The blood on his head began to slowly seep into his wound, and the movie in the glass window began to play again.

The owner of the video store also slowly woke up as time went back. He opened his eyes and looked at the world in confusion.

"how come?"

On the Lost Island, everyone was suddenly shocked. Looking at the data on the screen, the data that had been advancing rapidly and even coming to an end were now declining crazily.

On the practical level, Xiao Xiao is also walking faster and faster, more and more naturally.

In his eyes, the little boy and the boss had gone back to the time when they had just gotten to know each other and started watching movies together.

This is just using the eyes of the clairvoyant to look back on the past time. It is not real. However, during this time of looking back, Xiao Xiao became more and more determined. He slowly walked to the little boy's side and stood gently. So, between the little boy squatting outside the glass window on the street and the owner of the video store, there was another him. He also watched the movie quietly. The little boy and the owner of the video store both saw him and thought Sneaking away quietly, one wanted to stand up and greet this unexpected guest.

"Take and buy something to eat!"

Xiao Xiao stopped the little boy who was trying to run away, handed him a banknote, then turned to look at the video store owner, and whispered: "If I were you, I would invite him into the store."

"After all, dying alone in a recliner will leave a lot of regrets."

"..."

The owner of the video store was suddenly stunned. He didn't understand why this strange customer said this.

But inexplicably, the words he said to himself actually made his heart move, as if he really had the regret he said.

"gone!"

Xiao Xiao said hello with a smile, took out all the money he had, bought the video that was being played, and then put it back in the boss's hands and said with a smile: "Give it to him for me!"

When he turned around and left, this gray world began to infuse light.

Gradually, more and more pedestrians walked into this world, and the sunlight above their heads began to shine into this world.

The video store owner holding the video looked at the helpless little boy standing on the corner of the street, and suddenly made up his mind and greeted him with a smile: "Come here, kid, sit on the sofa and watch...can you sweep the floor?"

This was originally an illusory time review, but when Xiao Xiao left, it turned into a real scene and gradually synchronized with reality.

At this moment, even Yang Jia stared at Xiao Xiao in disbelief:

She didn't understand, how could this be done?

…

…

"Reality reset, master..."

And not far away, the person holding the silver suitcase who saw this scene with his own eyes looked even more livid, and shouted in a deep voice: "This is unreasonable, the will of the world cannot be resisted..."

"yes!"

Xiao Xiao stood on the street, under the sun, slowly turned his head to look at him, and said: "The will of the world is indeed irresistible."

"But I am also a member of the world's will..."

"Even if I only occupy a very small proportion among the countless people in this world, I am still influencing the will of the world..."

"This world may be indifferent and scary, but I can always use my little thing to make up for the shortcomings of this world, right?"

"..."

As he spoke, he laughed and said, "There is too much pain in this world, and I don't like it."

"So, I want her to have more and better things."

"You can cry, you can not understand, but I think only you, plus me, can truly represent the essence of this world, right?"

Nine thousand words, I feel like I’m good again! !
