Chapter 2 Misery

"There are still five seconds left before the correction is complete. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Human units?"

"Human units, oh...... Hold on...... Well, okay, done. ”

In the dimness, I seemed to hear some voices...... To be exact, a wave came from my left ear into my brain and out of my right ear. In the brief time it stayed in my head, it was captured by my consciousness in time for something meaningfulβ€”even if I couldn't even perceive where my "head," "ears," or other parts of my body were at the moment.

"Please check if there's anything else missing, and you need to avoid leaving objects that won't exist until fifty years later, like the last time."

"Check-in. Do you want to wake him up before you go? ”

"I think it's doable."

The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and then in a place where my consciousness had just been dispossessed, there was a dull pain, and I belched, and the touch in other parts of my body finally opened up along the veins of the veins.

It took five minutes or more before I could finally figure out exactly where every position in my body was and manipulate them.

It felt like my soul had just been extracted and now re-inserted into my body.

My eyelids struggled several times before I managed to open them a little bit, and let a light in.

I seemed to be lying on some unfamiliar, cold, marble-like floor with no texture, and in front of me was a pair of spotless white pointed-toe boots that looked exactly like the floor. I think it's the culprit of that pain.

"Are you awake?" Another voice not far away asked.

"Woke up."

The white boots took a few steps back, and another pair of black boots appeared in my field of vision, followed by the calves, the knees, the thighs tucked behind the knees...... and a short, tight black skirt that was strong enough for covering. Then, there are slender hands, smooth fingers with barely visible texture, and a strand of lilac hair hanging down.

"Hmph, I'm in good spirits." The owner of the white boots turned away, and the tall, thin heels quickly disappeared from my field of vision.

"Excuse me? Do you have any discomfort on your body right now? M6-2 asked.

"Hmm...... Uh......"

I tried to turn my head to an angle where I could turn my back to the sky, only to find that I had to reposition my entire body.

They mistakenly thought I was going to sit up, so they reached out and put their hands on my shoulders.

Well, I wanted to lie down a little longer, so I had to sit up.

I covered my still dizzy head with one hand, supported the ground with the other, and with the help of those hands, I finally changed to a posture of sitting on the ground, roughly achieving "equality" with the other party.

"Ah, you're the ...... M6-2? ”

"Do you remember? That's nice. ”

M6-2 raised an eyebrow in surprise and smiled appreciatively.

She and M6, who was standing a little farther away and didn't know what they were busy with, had already taken off their gray robes and were now dressed like two racing models. But before I had the strength to pay attention to their clothes, I was dizzy by the surroundings - the space I was in at this time did not seem to be "capped", to be exact, the only "boundary" here was the white "ground" where I was lying on my stomach just now, and now I was sitting and they were standing, and the rest of the directions were only the endless starry sky, like an endless universe, and this universe was even moving slowly at a speed that I could recognize with my naked eye, as if the three of us were standing on a tabula rasa and drifting between the stars.

This environment, without a doubt, is not my home at all.

I felt dizzy and overwhelmed, and there was no wall or anything to lean on behind me, so I could only rely on my hands on the ground to maintain my balance. At this time, I seemed to be hanging on the edge of the "giant's tongue" in Norway, with no way forward and no way out, so it might be more appropriate to continue lying on my stomach.

"It's so weak." M6 smacked on the side.

"M6, is the oxygen supply too low?"

"No way, the content is the same as on Earth."

"Did you just take too hard of him?"

"How...... How is it possible, I have calculated the strength well. ”

"So it's the 'space'?"

"Humans are really troublesome."

M6 frowned, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically, as quickly as switching channels, and there was no effect transition. Now it seems that I am inside a ship, on the left is a large circular floor-to-ceiling window, the starry sky I just saw is shrouded in the window, there is a row of instrument consoles in front of the window, and there are several well-allocated seats on the right, and there are people who look exactly like the M6, all quietly controlling the ship.

I breathed a sigh of relief, at least this place had become a place where I felt a little safer. Just slightly.

"M6, you're doing a great job, he looks and feels better." M6-2 affirmed M6.

"You see, as I said, human beings' understanding of spaceships is limited to this, and if they don't make it look like this, they won't recognize it as a spaceship." M6 spread his hands.

"Are you feeling better now?" M6-2 confirms with me one more time.

"It's so messy."

I opened my mouth to speak, but when I made a sound, I realized that my tongue had not fully regained its flexibility.

"It seems that there is no problem, just get used to it." The personality correction process in front of me showed me a very human smile.

"M6-2, don't ramble with him, let's make a long story short." The M6 sitting in the center of the console poked its head out at the M6-2.

M6-2 nodded at her and pulled me into a spherical chair that popped up at some point.

"And Ayarei, I'll give you a brief explanation of the situation now. We've just taken extraordinary steps to get you from home to the ship, and you're our last hope, so we hope you'll choose to be considerate of our presumptuous. ”

"Can you send me back if you choose 'considerate'?"

"I can't." M6 replied hard for M6-2, "You can't go back until you finish this, if you want to go back, just listen carefully to what M6-2 has to say, the sooner you complete the task, the sooner you ......" She didn't know why she didn't continue, but flicked her hand at me irritably, turned her chair and went on with her.

"Well, next, I hope you can calmly listen to what I have to say, and I believe that you, as the son of 'that person', will definitely be able to get into the state quickly."

I nodded absentmindedly, anyway, I had been "kidnapped" by these two crazy women, and I had nothing on my body except the T-shirt and shorts I wore when I slept, so I had no choice but to act on the opportunity. But what really annoys me is that this T-shirt on my body was bought for me by my mother at the beginning.,There's a huge two-dimensional beautiful girl printed on it.,It seems to be a very favorite animated character of my mother.,I've always been ashamed and refused to wear it.,Only wear it when I'm sleeping.,Now it's something that happened when I was wearing this dress.,If it's a corpse in the wilderness later.,The photo of the corpse will definitely be laughed at.。

"I'll start by telling you some of the necessary information. M6 and R5 are not from Earth, and the so-called M6 and R5 are just code names we have given ourselves to facilitate our movement on Earth. Our home planet is a planet called Van Xi. Of course, strictly speaking, I can't be considered a Van Xi Xing, I am M6's personality correction program, and the meaning of my existence is to help M6 complete the task more smoothly. The Van Xi people have no feelings, but M6 is unfortunately infected by humans with the disease of feelings, and you can interpret me as a kind of treatment for this disease, a treatment procedure. When M6 can't continue working because of emotional issues, I do things for her that she doesn't want to do. ”

This is really a convenient "treatment", I can't help but sigh.

"The people of the Van Xi are made up of a substance called a stalk, which itself cannot be identified by earthlings with the naked eye, but can constitute any creature that you can identify, or even split into multiple creatures. I am a program that has the function of sealing emotions and optimizing personality, and what you see now is the result of the 'being' of M6 that has been 'filtered' and 'optimized' by me, and it has been judged to be the most suitable personality for human contact. This pattern of composition may be difficult for you to understand, but M6 and I are essentially the same biological entity. ”

"It doesn't matter to me if you're one or several, I just want to know, why did you get me here?"

"We need you to go back in time with us and stop R5 from changing history."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Because what he's going to change is your mother's life. If we fail, your mother will not be with your father, you will not be born, and now you will disappear because of the 'contradiction'. ”

"But aren't I here now? Isn't that already proof that he won't succeed? "I don't understand her logic.

"The Van Xi people are high-level creatures in the universe, and the entire race has the ability to travel back and forth on the 'time axis' of low-level beings, so the 'cause and effect' of being intervened by the Van Xi people is not simply expressed in a linear form."

"Low Intelligence...... "I'm curious about how ordinary people who have always thought of their own race as superior in intelligence would feel when they hear that they are described as "low-intelligence creatures" by aliens, but fortunately I never felt that humans were great.

"The timeline of the low-level creatures is like an automatic calculation formula for the Van Xi people, and when we want a different result, we can arbitrarily modify any symbol and number in any position in the formula. We are like 'directors' and 'playwrights', and the trajectory of low-level creatures is the drama we choreograph.

In this universe, there are countless possibilities for everything that happens every second, and in the end, the 'observer' who determines which thing happens and which thing does not happen, and the 'consciousness' that decides everything, is the Brahman. In order to avoid confusion, a civilization will only be observed by one Van Xi person, and R5 is the observer of the Earth. For a low-level group like you, R5 is undoubtedly the equivalent of a 'god' who dominates everything. However, there are rules for the modification of 'God', and the conditions must be met for the modification to be valid. ”

"What are the conditions to collect all seven dragon balls or something?"

M6-2 shook his head, not seeming to hear me mocking, "Our condition is that we will need to remain there for 66 minutes after modifying events at a certain point in time for the changes to take effect. ”

"Why 66 minutes?"

"Wait a minute, I need to search for a way you can understand." All movements of M6-2 ceased instantly, the purple eyeballs slowly lost their color, and the skin changed from white to translucent red to inorganic white, like a robot that had just suffered a power outage.

I turned my head to look at the M6 in the distance, but by the time I turned my head, the M6-2 had already returned to its original form.

"A couple's relationship was opposed by their parents, and both families introduced them to another blind date," she said without a clue, "The man kept the woman and asked to meet again one last time and elope together." ”

"You...... Is it a malfunction? I asked cautiously.

"The woman also longed to get back together, so she agreed." M6-2 ignored me, still reading as if he was studying, "On the day of the elopement, the man didn't show up for a long time, and the woman stood there and thought, give him another five minutes, if he doesn't show up after five minutes, she will leave and marry the man she knows on a blind date." ”

"Uh......"

"Therefore, whether this man appears after five minutes will have a decisive impact on the relationship between the two."

"Hmm...... So? ”

"Why did the woman choose to wait five minutes instead of six or seven minutes?"

"I don't know what you mean."

M6-2 shrugged, "This is the explanation that the system has come up with after analysis and transformation, and the question of 'why 66 minutes' can be understood by you humans." Did this answer solve your problem? ”

"Nope."

"Then I can only say that these 66 minutes are the converted Earth time."

"Okay, okay, I'm just asking casually, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

So let's get back to the previous topic. The reason why you haven't disappeared yet is because R5 hasn't triggered the 'key condition' that will definitely make your mother choose him, so we just need to trigger the 'key condition' that your mother will definitely choose your father before that happens, and let R5 stay at that point in time for more than 66 minutes, and our plan will be successful. ”

"What are the key conditions?"

"When the event of the Van Xi Xingren involves life and death, it will be necessary to find a 'key condition' with inevitability, as long as this condition is met and stays at that point in time for more than 66 minutes, no matter how the other conditions change, it will not affect the final result. Otherwise, there will be variables. As for what this 'key condition' is, the Van Xi can only tell by constantly modifying the variables and then jumping to the next point in time to see the results. Of course, there are some 'key conditions' that are easy to judge, such as you. When R5 sees you and stays at this point in time for more than 66 minutes, then your birth will become a fact that he has observed, and he will not be able to go back in time to prevent your birth. So he asked for the time and left immediately. ”

"It's a hassle to just listen to these things."

"The love of this kind of behavior is equivalent to the love of human beings for games, and as far as I know, humans never find it troublesome to play well-made and difficult games."

"Okay." This is true, playing a difficult game well is a very face-saving thing to show off.

"It seems that humans can easily fall in love with characters in games and anime, and they will call them 'husband' or 'wife' or something."

"That's true." Although I wouldn't.

"But theoretically, this phenomenon does not happen to the Van Xi people. As I said, there is no such thing as an 'emotion' in a healthy Van Xi person. 'Emotion' is a part of your life experience for you earthlings, but it is a poison for us. R5 has been observing the earth for too long, and he has taken too deep into the toxin of 'emotion', and he happened to meet Ning Ning, that is, your mother, who can observe R5, the observer, so they fell in love without any suspense. ”

I couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, feeling that the whole thing was getting more and more outrageous.

"The Van Tin itself cannot exist in human history, so when the Van Tin is away from a certain point in time for more than a month, any human who has been in contact with him will lose the relevant memories. R5 decided to venture back to Van Xixing to ask our father A1 to agree to make He Ningning a son and reproduce with him. It is conceivable that the opinions of the entire Van Xi Star on this matter are very large, but in view of the fact that our social composition and body structure are different from you earthlings, most of the earthlings you can think of deal with this kind of thing are not available to us. In the end, A1 modifies R5's creature status by sending M6 to prevent R5 from achieving its goal, which is enough to prevent R5 from returning to the point in time agreed with your mother, and also gives us the possibility of success. Ideally, of course, we go straight to R5 and force him to stay for more than 66 minutes at this point in time when you were born, so that your mother is not with him as a matter of course. But based on some force majeure, we are still a step too late. So now you are our only hope. ”

"Wait a minute, wouldn't you be able to 'jump' and 'jump' on that 'timeline' by yourself? Why are you involved with me? ”

"M6 is a Van Xi Xing who has not yet fully matured, and his ability is limited, and the observer of the Earth is only R5, and other Fan Xi Xing people cannot interfere with the history of the Earth. We are very passive, and all time-jumping behaviors can only be achieved by tracking the traces of R5, which is equivalent to stepping on the 'footprints' of R5. Now you're in our vehicle, which we call 'shuttle', and you can think of it as what you earthlings call a spaceship, and it will automatically track back to the point in time when R5 jumps back. Once there, we need to find your mother as quickly as possible, stop her from being with R5, find your father, match your parents, and make sure that the 'key conditions' for keeping your parents together are met first. This is an existential matter for you, and I believe you can understand the gravity of the situation. ”

I laughed dryly. If this is actually some kind of trick show, when will the members of the film crew be able to end it all with a smile holding a sign saying "You've been tricked"? I thought back to all the mess I had just done, and I wished I hadn't heard a word.

"So, what are the so-called 'key conditions' that will ensure that my parents are together?"

"It's none of your business," M6, who had been silent beside him just now, walked over at some point, "you just need to complete the mission." ”

"You don't know what that condition is, after all, you're not some kind of messy 'observer' on Earth."

"Shut up." She interrupted me harshly.

Of course, I didn't mean to shut up, "I don't care what kind of TV show you are, or what kind of paparazzi sent you, if you want to know my biological father's name through this method, then unfortunately, I don't know who he is." I haven't seen a picture of him, I don't know his name, so what's the point of you having to arrest me? I can do more than you do. ”

There have been many opinions on the Internet about my father's identity, but it would be too strange to put on such a big show just to investigate this. Since childhood, the whole family has never spoken of my father, and the only news I know about my father is that he immigrated to the Netherlands after divorcing his mother.

"When the shuttle lands, you'll know if we're lying to you." M6-2 explained, "Of course, you don't know your father, and we know that. ”

"So ......"

"Do you think I'm willing?" M6 grabbed me by the collar with a wave of anger that came out of nowhere. But this behavior did not make me feel the slightest intimidation, perhaps because the blue eyes that were approaching me were haggard and tired.

"M6, you need to keep your emotions in check." Her personality correction program immediately stepped forward and pulled her away.

"Even if what you say is true, my parents will eventually divorce anyway, maybe it was a mistake to be together in the first place, and it is even very likely that my mother never loved that person at all."

"Do you mean that you are willing to sacrifice yourself to fulfill your mother's love?"

"I'm not that great," I didn't have that good relationship with that woman. "It's just that I don't think I can help, and this thing is pointless, that's all."

"Isn't it characteristic of you humans to do things that you know are meaningless?" M6's voice was soft when she said this, but I still felt that she was emotionally unstable.

"Don't worry, you'll be of use," she approached me, stretched out her warm hands and gently stroked my hair, then her fingers traveled all the way down my forehead, eyelashes, cheeks, and lips, and finally these hands rested on my neck, and I felt myself stiff and unable to move, "So, answer me now, what is your attitude?" If you want to give up and disappear, then you might as well go through my hand now and ...... you."

The force in her hand really started to slowly increase. If the woman in front of her is not an alien, she must be a very seriously ill mental patient.

"Okay, okay, I know, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

M6 withdrew his hand and left the room without looking back, leaving M6-2 standing aside without saying a word.

I've had enough of the whole thing, whether it's true or not, and now I just want to get out of here. If I had been under house arrest by two crazy women in some hallucinogenic room, there would have been a way out.

However, what if not?

Are you really going to embark on such a ridiculous journey?

I was horrified to find that deep down in my heart, I wasn't ready to face the unknown.
