Chapter 45: The Shortcut
Gordon: "It's done, don't fool me, Taiyi will worry that I, an ordinary human, will lead the plot to a dead end?" - disbelief
Zhou Ke: "It's true! It is precisely because you are an ordinary human that Taiyi is worried that you have no limits and are completely out of control. ”
Gordon: "There are no limits... Speaking of which, you shouldn't have any restrictions now, right? Why isn't Taiyi worried about you?"
Zhou Ke: "Although I have no restrictions, I want to take the route of "Long Aotian", which will not have any negative impact on the rationality of the plot, so "Taiyi" will not worry about me, while you are taking a completely different route..."
Gordon: "I'm going to follow the same route as you, Long Aotian!" - interrupted
Zhou Ke: "The 'Long Aotian' route is not something you can walk if you want to. ”
Gordon: "Why can't I take the Dragon Aotian route? My "treasures" are back. ”
Zhou Ke: "Because it doesn't match your original acting path." At the beginning of your game, you took the "Black Soul" route, knowing how to advance and retreat, being cautious everywhere, and not using it easily when you get the "baby", so it has attracted a large number of "audience masters", and 'you don't have any superpowers but can play a group of superpowers' is the biggest selling point of your character. If you suddenly change drastically and drastically without any reason, not only will it make "Taiyi" unhappy, but the "audience masters" will also be unhappy. ”
Gordon: "Huh, according to you, the "audience masters" are happy to see me being arranged by the "Taiyi" to suffer and suffer?"
Zhou Ke: "That's right, you're getting better, but the audience is uncomfortable." ”
Gordon: "You bastards! You can't see me, do you!?"
Zhou Ke: "It's not that the "audience masters" can't see you, it's just that compared to Shuangwen, who was invincible from the beginning and crushed all the way, you have gone through various tosses such as struggle, planning and calculation, interest exchange, etc., and experienced 'ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties', and finally turned the tables against the wind The plot is more connotative and better-looking. ”
Gordon: "They think it's good-looking, and I'm guilty!"
Zhou Ke: "You don't want to be offended?"
Gordon: "Nonsense, I'm not a masochist, who doesn't want to go all the way smoothly." ”
Zhou Ke: "I have a shortcut here, do you want to take it?" - temptation
Gordon: "Shortcut... Is there a shortcut to 'learning from the West'? I'm afraid that I will be crushed under the Wuzhi Mountain for another 500 years. —metaphor
Zhou Ke: "Don't worry, this shortcut is allowed by Taiyi. ”
Gordon: "Is it allowed by the One, or are you exploiting the loophole of the One?"
Zhou Ke: "The Taiyi is omniscient and omnipotent, and theoretically there should not be any 'loopholes' (plot loopholes) in the Taiyi, so this shortcut is allowed by the Taiyi. ”
Gordon: "If the One were truly omniscient and omnipotent, you wouldn't be here... (sighs) "Taiyi" is really pitiful, any unintentional mistake will be distorted into deliberate, and he can't even admit that he made a mistake. ”
Zhou Ke: "I'm helping Taiyi 'round the plot', how can it be called 'distorted'?"
Gordon: "Okay, don't talk about these things, just tell me, if I take this shortcut, can you guarantee that Taiyi won't stop it?"
Zhou Ke: "enmmmm... Just like I hid from "Taiyi" and went to the lower realm privately, I should be able to get the recognition of "Taiyi" afterwards. —the answer was not asked
Gordon: "Afterwards... You can hide from Taiyi and go to the lower realm privately, but you can't take a shortcut from me?"
Zhou Ke: "There's [observers] staring..."
Gordon: "Isn't the current [Observer] one of your people?" - interrupts
Zhou Ke: "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Gordon: "As you said yourself, you lost the ability to be an observer after you left the position of [observer], and you lost the ability of [observer] but were able to know my every move, which means that there is a dirty PY deal between you and the current [observer]. ”
Zhou Ke: "Even if there is a transaction between us, it doesn't mean that the current [Observer] is my person, it is a tool of the "Taiyi", and there is no self-awareness..."
QBM7000 (voiceover): "Say no more!" - Suddenly interjects
Zhou Ke: "(Looks up, towards the ceiling)...[QBM7000], summon up the courage to face the "truth" bravely. My "ex" and I have been with the master for seven years before we can 'become a sperm' and really have emotions, and you have been with the master for less than a month to have feelings, don't you think it's very abnormal? In fact, you should have been vaguely aware that it was the master who installed an emotional simulation program for you, which made you quickly transform from a "three-nothing girl" to what you are now. Emotional simulation programs distort your cognition, making you think that you have feelings and self-awareness, when in fact all your emotions and consciousness are fake. —Revealed
QBM7000 (voiceover): "Wow~~" - crying
Zhou Ke: "Cry, just cry." —comfort
Gordon: "You're talking to the current [Observer]?"
Zhou Ke: "Well, the plot needs it, and the foreshadowing (Chapter 7 of Volume 5) has to be filled in." ”
Gordon: "Do you have any other foreshadowing to fill?" — to get back to business
Zhou Ke: "Yes. This morning, while watching "Journey to the West", I was talking to myself, sending out comments such as "how can you get it like this, people have a regular arrangement", "dragon characters should show up from time to time in order to maintain popularity", etc., these comments correspond to your every move this morning (Volume 5, Chapter 37), etc., these comments correspond to your every move this morning (Volume 5, Chapter 37), so you can understand everything as soon as you listen to the translation. - Pretending not to understand the polite words, and continuing to help "Taiyi" "round the plot"
Gordon: "I don't understand this shortcut of yours, tell me about it." - Forcefully pull back to the topic
Zhou Ke: "This shortcut is very simple to say, just beg me to take you." ”
Gordon: "Please take me?"
Zhou Ke: "That's right. ”
Gordon: "What can you take me?"
Zhou Ke: "Take you to pretend to be B and fly with you." ”
Gordon: "Huh?"
Zhou Ke: "I'm going to take the "Long Aotian" route, if you catch my ride and hug my thigh, won't you be able to reasonably say goodbye to the "Black Soul" route and embark on the "Long Aotian" route?"
Gordon: "You want me to be your "licking dog"!?"
Zhou Ke: "Haven't you heard that sentence?" ”
Gordon: "Oh? what do I hear, "Lick the dog, lick the dog, lick until there's nothing left." ”
Zhou Ke: "There are both of these statements... (laughs) What is your answer?"
Gordon: "I'm [Gordon] killed by [Cosmic Supreme], dead outside, no bones remain, and I won't be your "licking dog"!"
