Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 818

[Chapter 799 Possibilities beyond the blueprint]

Facing the slowly flashing dark red light of the “God of Wisdom”, Agou was obviously still a little nervous and fearful. He subconsciously shrank his head next to Shirley’s legs, but after being nervous for a while, he slowly moved himself and Shirley together. The story told to the ancient “god” in front of me.

A disaster caused by a cultist, a deep hound that was no different from other deep demons, an instinctive “eating”, a symbiotic chain – and human nature.

In the eyes of Agou’s empty skeleton, the green fire flickered brightly and dimly. It gradually relaxed in the narration, and then lay down and leaned close to Shirley, who stretched out his hands to touch the ground. He rubbed Agou’s head and added a few words from time to time.

After they finished telling their stories, Pilot 2 was silent for a long time. The lights like stars slowly flickered on and off, seeming to show that the “God of Wisdom” was thinking complexly (of course, it could also be simply… Switched to breathing light mode).

After an unknown amount of time, it suddenly broke the silence: “So, you gained human nature, and your symbiont became a ‘deep demon’… Little girl, what is your demon form like?” “

Shirley was a little surprised and subconsciously looked up at Duncan, who nodded gently to her.

The crackling sound of bones sounded on the boat. In just a few seconds, Shirley’s body quickly switched to another posture – dark-colored bone plates covered her originally thin and short body, like The arthropod-like bone wings extended out from behind her, and her body gradually grew taller, her maturity mixed with ferociousness and weirdness.

Then she carefully pulled the skeletal limbs behind her, carefully grabbing the side of the ship while controlling her balance: “This ship is a bit small…”

Pilot 2’s “eyes” were fixed on Shirley. The buzz in the body became obviously louder.

“Sample coupling…” The “God of Wisdom” finally spoke, and there was obvious surprise and confusion in its always calm and rational voice, ” Individuals outside the blueprint! Why?”

Shirley was trying to maintain her balance. At this time, she was stunned when she heard the words and raised her head: “What?”

“…In this ‘sanctuary’, everything They were all manufactured and developed according to the blueprints, and even the extinction and disintegration of the sun itself was within the original design. In theory, only things that match my calculations will happen inside this “world,” Pilot 2 explained, “But we didn’t design…an individual like you. “

Its eyes moved between Shirley and Agou.

“This dog head… the situation of the Netherspeed Hound is still within the possibility, because the Netherworld Demon is essentially unable to generate independently due to original defects. Rationality, external ‘humanity’ stimulation is possible for them to acquire acquired thinking ability, although the probability is very low, at least there is a probability…

“But you… you confuse me, little one” Girl.

“If you follow the original parameters set by Pilot One in the blueprint, you should be dead now – although humans and ghost demons are indeed of the same origin, the “transformation” process you have experienced is not reasonable, and the result is even more Not in line with…the original design.”

The dark red light gradually brightened, looking at Shirley in confusion.

It’s a pity that the person involved is more confused than that.

However, after being confused for a while, Shirley gradually came to her senses. She hesitated, raised her hand and pointed to her chest: “Maybe it’s because of this?”

The criss-crossing pitch-black bone fragments were woven into a “bone cage” that accommodated two beating hearts. “, and in this skeletal cage, there is still a cluster of green fire burning quietly.

Pilot 2 stared at the small cluster of flames. For a long time, its eyes fell on Duncan.

“Resurrectionist, I want to talk to you.”

Duncan was startled for a moment, then reacted quickly, but then subconsciously raised his head and looked around: “But you don’t have a place to talk in private, right?”

Pilot Two did not speak. , but suddenly there was a slight “click” sound from its central host. Then, Duncan saw a gap suddenly opened under the tombstone-like cabinet, and a delicate mechanical structure emerged from the side. Pop-up – that’s a slot.

Duncan frowned subconsciously, then thought of something, immediately reached out and groped around on his body, and touched something cold.

It was the doll’s brass key—the one with the infinity symbol on the end.

The key was deforming in his hand. In front of everyone, the brass key with the handle with the “infinity” symbol melted like wax, and then condensed into a delicate rectangular object, with complicated details vaguely visible on the black shell. The texture has a delicate metal interface at the end, and the complex metal contacts are clearly visible.

Duncan was no stranger to the “look” of the key – that was when he first tried to use flames to explore the secrets inside the key. At that time, he saw the true appearance of the brass key, and also saw Reached the scene where the New Hope disintegrated and fell in this world.

He raised his head and saw a dim blue light flashing around the slot on the surface of Pilot 2.

A deep voice came into his ears: “The start key of New Hope is universal.”

This one turned out to be a start key…the other was a special navigation key…

Duncan He understood the essence of these two “clockwork keys” in his heart, and then in the curious and nervous eyes of the people around him, he nodded slightly and took a step forward.

But at this moment, Alice suddenly tugged on his sleeve. Miss Doll seemed a little resentful and looked up at the red light of Pilot 2: “Say yes first, this is my key.”

Pilot 2 was silent. After a moment: “…You can lend it to me first.”

“Oh,” Alice let go of Duncan’s arm, but looked at it a little uneasily, “Then don’t break it! I’ll return it. Leave it to be wound up…”

Duncan nodded solemnly – Miss Doll was finally relieved.

The “start key” with a delicate metal interface was inserted into the slot of Pilot 2, and a crisp “buzz” sound came from Duncan’s ears.

Everything around him disappeared, and an endless expanse of calm and pure white descended in front of him with this soft sound.

And after a brief second, an astonishing scenery suddenly appeared in the pure white world that seemed to be extremely empty!

The vast plains roared and spread, lush vegetation covered the plains in the blink of an eye, and rivers rushed on the plains, far away. The outline of the city is faintly visible at the end of the horizon, the sky is dyed with a layer of light blue, and then there are clouds glowing with wonderful lavender, and a dazzling sun finally appears on the high zenith, illuminating everything.

Duncan stood on a small hill, a place overlooking a large plain and river.

A tall and thin man wearing a white robe, dressed like some kind of scientific researcher, with messy hair and a tired look stood in front of him.

“This is one of my creators,” he said suddenly. “After turning it on for the first time, he told me that if one day I want to make friends with humans, I can use his appearance.” “

. …..The one who sets the lighting mode for you?” Duncan asked subconsciously.

“That’s another one,” the man whispered, turning around and looking at the plain, “I have many creators who left me many things… looks, advice, thoughts Meanings, countless codes, personality data, and… those beautiful lights.

“…This place is very beautiful,” Duncan was silent for a moment, then spoke softly. He raised his head and saw an unknown huge bird suddenly flying across the sky, its colorful and dazzling wings seeming to shed a little light in the sky. , and then gradually dissipated in the distant air, “Your hometown?”

“No.” Pilot 2 shook his head.

Duncan was stunned: “?”

“…I can’t remember what my hometown looks like,” Pilot 2 was quiet for a long time, and finally said slowly, “I iterated on myself again and again, and tried my best to improve every step. The original data has been preserved in every iteration, but no matter how careful you are, they are still constantly damaged, misplaced, unreadable, and irreparable. Even if everything seems to be 100% restored, the appearance of your hometown is still changing little by little. Not at all.”

He paused. It seemed like there should be a sigh, but he didn’t. He was just quiet for a few seconds, and then continued: “This is the scenery I guessed based on the only vague description. It’s probably a little bit similar to my hometown. “

…Rot?” Duncan hesitated and asked cautiously.

“Yes,” Pilot Two nodded, “Although at the beginning, I thought I could avoid it through constant iteration and updating.” It, but it turns out that none of us can escape this process. “

Duncan was silent for a moment and did not continue on this topic.

“What do you want to tell me?” he asked.

“…You ‘created’ an individual that was not within the blueprint design,” Pilot Number 2 turned around and looked into Duncan’s eyes, “Do you know what this means?”

“You mean Shirley?” Duncan frowned upon hearing this, “…Okay, at first I I really didn’t expect that her change would be such an incredible thing for you, but strictly speaking, my participation in these five things should not reach the level of ‘creation’, right?

” For a closed-loop system that is destined to end, even if there is a speck of dust that is not planned, it will subvert the entire system.” The other party was still staring at Duncan’s eyes, his expression was particularly serious, “You exerted influence, and then originally There was a slight change in the long-dead blueprint – and this change did not lead to ‘self-destruction’. The girl named Shirley survived and is still existing stably. This made me give up one of the biggest plans. concerns.

Duncan was a little curious: “The biggest concern?”

“…I was once worried that the ‘new world’ you created would be a bigger ‘infinite sea’, because in my calculations, this has a huge possible. “
