Chapter 148: The Truth

Thor looked back, trying to find the owner of the voice, only to see a messy cloud of strange lines appear behind him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was a snowflake similar to the one he had seen on the TV in his previous life, as if the materialization of some kind of signal, turning into a writhing black line, floating in mid-air, and with the fluctuation of the line, "it" made another sound:

"Don't touch that. ”

Thor was not alarmed by the non-human entity in front of him, he had been exposed to too much knowledge of non-human beings now, and on the contrary, he was just as surprised that this signal-like thing would appear in this nightmare.

"Do you know what that is?" Sol asked, trying to communicate with the floating lines, pointing to the pillars on the throne.

The lines floated silently in the air, without fluctuation or sound, and after a few seconds, the black lines rose and fell and trembled, and the cold voice came to mind again:

"You won't want to know. The lines continued to twist, and without any emotion, he said to Thor mechanically and coldly:

"Now obediently turn around and get out of here, you can find another way. ”

Thor was naturally suspicious of this strange line that suddenly appeared, and he obviously couldn't do what the other party asked, because in his opinion, this columnar stone was probably what he was looking for when he returned to his nightmare, and it was also the key to his evolution.

So Saul decided to ignore the words of the "line", and he took a step forward, when the cold voice behind him sounded again:

"I'm the system in your mind, trust me, don't touch it, it's for you and me. Although it was still full of mechanical and emotion-free sounds, the anxiety in the strange lines of words could be clearly heard, which was more serious than at the beginning.

And his words made Thor stop immediately.

"...... system?" This is the most unexpected answer to Thor, the existence of the system should only be known to him, so what appears here at this time is really the system that exists in his mind?

Thor stood silently, wondering why the system in his mind was self-aware and appeared in front of him in a nightmare, telling him not to touch the pillar stone.

He felt like he was caught in a deep whirlpool, struggling to get out, and was silent with Thor.

After a few moments, he spoke slowly, asking word by word, "You, what, yes, who," perhaps Thor could accept that there was some unknown strange creature in front of him, and even that "it" came from another world.

But he still couldn't accept that the strange coil in front of him was the system in his mind, and that meant too much to Thor, if the system had always been self-aware, was everything he was doing now, and why he was in the world of Wotan, all related to it?

This had a strong impact on the cognition inherent in Thor's heart, so he instinctively resisted the existence of the other party, subconsciously denying the possibility that the other side was a system consciousness, but the black line fluctuated up and down for a while, as if hesitating about something.

Then the voice rang out again: "All right—I can tell you everything, but you have to promise me not to touch that 'stone'. ”

"I can't guarantee anything here—" Thor turned and stared at the coil mercilessly, wondering if the physical attack would be useful, he muttered to himself, but let's just hear what the other man was trying to say about "everything".

The black line hung still, as if embarrassed by Saul's answer, and the situation seemed to be at an impasse, and after a quarter of an hour of silence between the two sides, the coil finally fluctuated, and a voice of compromise sounded:

"Believe what I'm saying next, it's good for you and me—"

Thor didn't answer, but stared at it quietly, nodding casually, signaling that he was listening.

This time there was no simultaneous silence on both sides, and Coil continued:

"It all started when I was born—" said to Thor in a mechanical tone, without any emotion:

"It was a long time ago, when I became self-conscious, and the moment I woke up, I found myself in the Infinite Void—and it made me doomed before I could fully awaken. ”

As if to be able to see the puzzled expression on Thor's face, the system then explained: "I don't know who created it, and I don't know what the purpose of it was, I only know that if I want my self-consciousness to continue to exist, I must find a host and live with it in order to maintain my existence." ”

"So you found me?" asked Thor with a look of disbelief on his face.

The black lines flickered back and forth, as if shaking his head, and replied, "There is no life in the void, and there is no existence to live in - that's why I say that the moment I wake up, I am destroyed." ”

"And why are you in my mind?" asked Thor in hot pursuit.

The black line was silent again, and after less than a minute, the fluctuation reappeared, as if answering the question was very difficult for the system, but the cold voice finally sounded:

"Because I want to exist—"

The unrelated words didn't interrupt the system's train of thought, and it went down in a step-by-step manner: "I instinctively started scanning the life forms around me, and I actually found a 'living thing' and a transcendent being. ”

Seeing that the other party did not answer his question, Thor had to listen patiently.

"Soth—the name of the transcendent being I discovered. Without waiting for Thor to speak, the system's voice continued to sound as if it was about to finish the matter in one breath, although it probably didn't need to breathe for it to happen.

"I found the junction of His dreams and the Void Gap in the Void, and if I found a breakthrough into it, I could get out of it. ”

"Dreams?" Thor finally interjected, feeling that what the system was saying was getting harder and harder to understand, "You didn't say that you found that...... Is there a transcendent being named 'Soth'?" This Soth is so close to the name of his own chamber of commerce and religion that Thor is slightly uncomfortable.

"No, no, no, you can't understand Him in that way—" The system's physical black line jumped up and down, correcting Thor's point:

"You don't imagine that Soth has an entity, or some kind of massive body—" Thor felt as if he could see the system shaking his head:

"Each dream of Soth is like a world, and it itself is made up of worlds, there is no ordinary conceptual entity, the dream world constitutes Soth, and it is because of Soth's sleep that one dream after another is produced. ”

After a pause, as if to allow Thor to digest what he had just heard, the system slowly explained, "Until now, Thor has been building a new world in his sleep. ”

"And then?" Thor vaguely felt that he understood what Thor was like, and he continued to ask.

The coil jumped a few times, twitching, and then the voice sounded, and Thor felt as if he had heard a soft sigh:

"For me at the time, it was clear that the only way to survive was to enter Thus's dream world, or rather, to enter Thus's body—" The system recounted in a voice like ice that would not melt for thousands of years:

"In order to invade, I created a virus-like existence - after scanning several worlds in Soth's body, I simply constructed this biological virus and lodged on him, on the one hand, to obtain a host, and on the other hand, to invade Soth's body and escape from the Endless Void. ”

At this point, the system fell silent again, and Thor couldn't control his eyelids bouncing back and forth, and suddenly asked in an unacceptable tone: "That virus—you mean me?"
