Pre-civilized humans have studied how long the human species can survive in this world.

Of course, these studies are ultimately just conjectures, and those researchers, they may not see the end of humanity for the rest of their lives. Whenever their technology advances, they become more fearful than reassuring, especially when the "Administrator" comes along.

It was a magical power they couldn't understand, but in reality, it wasn't magic. Maintaining the power supply of the users of that power requires a set of procedures, as well as a lot of energy and resources. That civilization has little shortage of energy, but they are still wary of this power.

Because this is a force that is more difficult to control than a nuclear bomb, although it will not cause a disaster spontaneously, its existence is controlled by people.

Completely manipulated by a human.

When the seven "Administrators" were elected, the former civilization easily controlled the world through these seven "Administrators", and any weapon, even a nuclear bomb, could be turned into a child's cannon in front of them.

With a flick of his hand, he was gone.

But at the same time, people are also wary of their every move, because after their research experiments, people have found that their power is too terrifying. Any one of them could have killed anyone here and eliminated the other "Administrators" by surprise, on the condition that he would have done so if that person had done it first.

Knowing the horror of this power, many people with unscrupulous hearts also coveted it. They want to be emperors, in this world that exists in the gap between the living and the dead, to be an emperor who has no worries about food and clothing, and everyone fears.

Subsequently, many unscrupulous people began to study the ability to crack the "administrator".

If it's the current level of science, let alone trying to crack it, just looking at it feels particularly magical. But the technology at that time was different, and their cracks were successful in the end, and one of them took advantage of some loopholes to gain power, and unleashed it at some cost.

This is not recognized by people, and they are given "admin" privileges, so when their actions are discovered and spread, they are considered "thieves".

It was from this moment that the terms "cheaters" and "thieves" spread, and it took a lot of effort for the former civilization to quell the incidents of those criminals, but it can be guessed that there must be fish among these "cheaters" who slipped through the net.

“...... Just like you. ”

"I'm not! It's an old man who gives me strength, I'm not a fish that slipped through the net, I don't have any connection with the former civilization...... Except for the old man......"

In the research room where the "Origin Root" is studied, Bai Nanyu is like a witch who talks to God, constantly talking to things that cannot be seen. This look is very similar to when she still had nightmares on her body.

After discovering that the bulbs affected Bai Nanyu's physical condition and tried to communicate with her, the researchers first asked her to take a break. As soon as Bai Nanyu walked on his front feet, the bulb immediately stopped moving and became the same as usual, like the bulb of an ordinary plant.

After a short period of research, they found that there was a dense circuit inside the bulb, but that circuit was not etched into the metal, but directly into a thin film on the periphery of the center of the bulb. These circuits can function like an animal's brain, and with a few small bumps on the periphery that look like a memory, this bulb is like a naturally occurring biological computer.

Although it is certain that the "origin root" is definitely man-made, it is not completely natural.

After resting for a while, Bai Nanyu also happened to give up going to the city center for the time being under the persuasion of others. But she had another thing in her heart that she wanted to do - she wanted to get close to Bulb, and she wanted to know what Bulb wanted to say to her.

"I want to ...... Talk to bulbs...... It looks unfriendly...... Look at me like a thief......" Bai Nanyu pleaded at the time.

After going to the research room, Bulb really reacted again, and then, Bai Nanyu saw a "ghost", a ghost that only she could see. She looks like a mature woman, dressed conservatively, much like the women who are working in the real world.

According to her, she is a projection of the consciousness of one of the progenitors of the former civilization, the "Administrator", and her ontology has long since died.

The ghost treated Bai Nanyu very unkindly, and kept saying that Bai Nanyu was a thief and an accomplice in the destruction of the previous civilization. This made Bai Nanyu confused, because she didn't know how the previous civilization was destroyed.

When the bulbous ghost finally calmed down a little and asked her where this power came from, Bai Nanyu mentioned the old man in the mountain, and then was asked his name.

After all, if you know the name, you will know which "administrator" gave Bai Nanyu permission.

"What's the old man's name?"

"I don't know...... He wouldn't tell me, I just called him grandpa all along...... But what I do know is that he is a person who has come from the dead country, and it seems that he has contracted the disease of relics, and he has been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests......" Bai Nanyu replied one by one.

The old man who lives in the mountains and forests has a "relic disease", this bulbous ghost seems to know who it is, but its expression is still very unhappy.

"He's given up being an administrator on his own, and there's no way he's going to give you permission. ”

Gave up being an "administrator"? So what was the ability he used at that time? Bai Nanyu remembered very well that when the old man found her, he obviously used the ability of "administrator" to beat away the wolf chasing her.

Does the bulbous ghost mean that he has given up his authority when he says he is not an "administrator", or is he just saying that he is not an "administrator" and is living in seclusion?

If it is true that the permission is waived, then there is only one possibility.

"Ah...... Could it be...... He gave me strength in a 'cheater' way...... Bai Nanyu suddenly realized, thinking that this was a misunderstanding, but then frowned, "But...... He couldn't move at all while lying on the bed, and I just woke up and had this power......"

The bulb ghost froze for a moment, as if it were a program being loaded, and there was no response for a while.

Eventually, it looked at the figure standing in the doorway.

"It looks like Bai Nanyu's guy won't fall for your tricks, he hasn't come for so long, it seems that he guessed it. ”

In a room in a makeshift office in the city center, the group of people behind the scenes were deliberating. It is reasonable that Bai Nanyu will not be successful, after all, it is just a rumor, and they didn't take out a photo unless they found a similar person.

Yes, it can be like that.

After some deliberation, they decided to find a replacement for Bai Nanyu's sister to lure Bai Nanyu into taking the bait.

At the same time, the counsellors did not realize that the wall had ears. The guard, who stood in the hallway, who had stayed here on the pretext of guarding the door, was quietly listening to their discussion. The guard was very puzzled by their insistence on eliciting Bai Nanyu's thoughts.

They looked like they were being threatened by someone terrible, and there were probably only two things that could make them so scared.

Mishima City and the Fallen Country.

Mishima City is a city with advanced technology, even the king of the dead country has to admit its potential, but they have no motive to interfere with Black Lake City, and the only thing left is the dead country. You must know that the Dead Country once occupied Black Lake City, and even after so long, the Dead Country still has the strength to occupy Black Lake City.

Could it be that the top brass of Black Lake City has fallen again?

If this is the case, then the game in Black Lake City can be said to be not over at all. Anyway, the lost country can regret it at any time, and no one can stop them if they play scoundrels.

After all, the strong can do whatever they want in the land of the weak.

Switched to the Bad Boy League Research Room, the bulbous ghost who was talking to Bai Nanyu noticed Xiao Jing at the door. For some reason, Xiao Jing, who seemed to think that Bai Nanyu was talking to herself just now, suddenly seemed to be able to see this ghost, and her eyes were staring at it.

looked at Xiao Jing and then at Bai Nanyu, the bulbous ghost was a little uneasy: "Wait a minute, you are a normal person." ”

"Ah...... Yes...... "Bai Nanyu looked a little cloudy.

"You're not qualified...... and the mark of 'qualified'...... Got it......"

"Huh? Ming...... Understood?"

"I kind of understand ......"

The moment the voice of the bulbous ghost fell, Bai Nanyu felt that his sense of oppression was reduced by more than half, and the symptoms similar to the onset of relic disease also subsided.

Then, the Bulb Ghost's expression looked a little tangled, but he didn't hesitate to point at the bulb: "Eat the part in the center of the bulb." ”

"Huh?"

"I ate the part in the center of the bulb. ”

"Why?"

"Shhh...... Why do you little farts have so much to do, why do you eat so much nonsense?" the bulbous ghost was a little impatient, and then quickly changed his expression, looking mixed, "Excuse me, just eat it." This will give you some relief, and I already know why you're a 'cheater'.

But it's happened, and there's nothing we can do to heal your relics...... Well, yes, not at all. ”

"Huh?"

Bai Nanyu staggered. The bulbous ghost's words were basically a death sentence for Bai Nanyu, and at that moment, Bai Nanyu's mind suddenly went blank. By the time she came to her senses, the bulbous ghost was gone.

The impatient voice of the bulbous ghost just now may not be angry with Bai Nanyu, but for himself and his companions. After all, it was a great shame for them to blame people and to contract her with a terminal illness that was painful and deadly. What's more, it can't do anything, and it's powerless about it, so it's irritable.

After calming down, Bai Nanyu had no feelings, just pestle like a log.

At this time, a sentence came to her mind, it was not her idea, but someone forcibly implanted it. It seems to be a message from a bulbous ghost, like someone leaving a note on the table before leaving, though in a somewhat strange way.

"I'm sorry, as the last consciousness of the pre-civilization, we can't let the dangerous things of our civilization affect the post-civilization, so we are so vigilant.

I know it's selfish, but all I can tell you is that please live with this power for the last time, and then sleep with it. This power is originally a forbidden knowledge of human beings, something that should not exist, anyway, you are also a white-haired person, right, death should not be an unknown thing to you. ”

The moonlight gradually shrouded in haze, and everything fell silent as always, and the white figure watching by the window could not sleep tonight.

She thought about it a lot, took out the blue pendant, and closed her eyes as if in prayer.

The whispers of the breeze were tiny and fragmented, the light of the moon was dull, and everything became so ordinary that it lost its meaning. And Bai Nanyu also thought about the meaning of her existence, she accepted this power at the beginning, just to save her sister, but she got involved in so many troubles.

In the end, she learns that she is not qualified and is facing death.

What a huge blow this was, what was it that she had been looking for for so long? A simple wish, but in the end it could not be fulfilled, and she even began to suspect that the old man was fooling her, and that the old man might just not want this power to disappear.

"Don't even say I'm kind...... Actually, I'm selfish...... I've always been selfish...... I did so much for her......" Bai Nanyu muttered to herself, as if that nightmare Li Muxue was still by her side, "I'm not a good sister...... I wasn't there for her when she was hurt, and I couldn't save her when she was hurt......

Finally, God gave me a chance to come into this world to save her, but I never even met her...... It's just talking...... Who knows if she's still alive......

And...... Even if you live...... I can't send her back, so there's no point in that......"

Under the same moon, a figure with short and medium hair was also leaning against the window, looking at the hazy moon, holding a green pendant in his hand. It's not the prettiest pendant, but it has love for someone.

Love can work miracles, but unfortunately not at this time.

She was very entangled at this time, struggling with whether to face the facts and whether to stand up. But she was scared, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself by then, after all, now her eyes were moist, and the pendant was about to be pinched off.

"Otherwise, I'll talk to her instead of you, if you really don't dare to face her......" A girl with short hair, but slightly taller than her, walked up to her and put her arm around her shoulders and whispered, "I understand your current mood and your sister's mood." If I'm gone, my brother in the world will be heartbroken, and I'll be very sad...... However, you can't dare to face it because of this. ”

"No, it has nothing to do with whether she gets sick or not, it's mainly ...... She's a white-haired man......"

The taller short-haired girl shook her head and hugged the shorter short-haired girl tightly. At this moment, the world is silent.

"However, she has guarded you with her life for the rest of your life, even here. She's never given up, and neither can you. The taller girl read softly.

The hazy moonlight was occasionally a lot clearer, and Bai Nanyu looked at the sky and straightened his waist, as if he could see the short-haired figure in another corner of the distance through this round of full moon.
