I don't know how long it took, Tang Shuxing finally woke up, and when he woke up, he found himself naked suspended in mid-air, in the corner on the other side, Gu Yan was lying on a white board suspended in the air, sleeping peacefully, and the woman was standing in front of Gu Yan, pulling her hand out of Gu Yan's forehead, and then turned to look at Tang Shuxing.

The woman then gave a strange smile, if that was a laugh.

"Tang Shuxing, hello, my name is Yiwa, and I am half the master here." The woman who called herself Ida spoke, and then waved her hand, Tang Shuxing's body slowly descended, and after his feet landed, he found that he could move, and then nodded at the woman.

Yiwa stood in front of Tang Shuxing and said, "I already know your qiē, so we don't need to play the question-and-answer game anymore, I need to ...... now Hire you, hire you to escort me to Gudan. ”

Yi Wa's words suddenly came so directly that Tang Shuxing couldn't react for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I really don't understand what's going on, can you explain it?" ”

"A simple explanation is okay, but a detailed explanation is impossible, because it takes too long, I will only give you an hour at most to ask questions, and try to answer all your questions as much as possible." After Yiwa finished speaking, she sat down, but there was nothing under her buttocks, she just maintained a sitting position, and then Yiwa waved her hand, and a stool grew out of the ground, and Tang Shuxing sat down.

"Alright, I'll answer the first question you want to ask now, what is this place? Who I am and who Gudan is. Yiwa then said, she didn't need Tang Shuxing to ask, she seemed to be able to read Tang Shuxing's heart.

Tang Shuxing nodded helplessly: "Yes, that's what I want to know first." ”

"You already know most of what the people in the bracelet told you, and we were actually ready for the mass extinction before we, what you call ancient humans, broke up, so we built this place, which we call 'Sanctuary'. Of course, this is described in your current language. It can also be called 'Noah's Ark' as you think of it, but there is a substantial difference. "This is a predictive simulation environment, and we can't go back to the environment we were in. So it's all about what the planet will look like hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years in the future. These species are in addition to our time. There are also many species that we use technology to simulate that should evolve in the future, but no matter how we simulate them, we have not created a creature that can adapt to all environments. For example, if I say that my physical body has long ceased to exist in zài, now I will have zài, just because we have left two source cells, and these two source cells do not belong to me and Gu Dan's ontology, but can only load our original consciousness into it, and my consciousness is stored in this heart. ”

As she spoke, Ida put her hand into her chest and pulled out the black heart, letting it float in the air for Tang Shuxing to see clearly, and at the same time said, "I can do this, just because in this space where I can completely adapt and be in charge, if I am outside this space, I will die immediately." Of course, if I want to restore my sense of self, I have to combine the source cells with this heart to restore it, otherwise I will remain asleep forever. ”

Tang Shuxing nodded: "That is to say, this heart of yours controls the four metals in the simulated environment, that is, in that sand dune cave, and your source cells are constantly creating all kinds of strange creatures in it, right?" ”

"Yes, the first thing you saw, that is, what you call the sand corpse, is just an unconscious me, just like a computer, but my composition is very simple, there are only three things: the CPU, the motherboard and the hard disk, my heart is the hard disk, the embryo is the CPU, and the resulting body is the motherboard that connects and carries the two, so you should be able to understand, right?" Ida looked at Tang Shuxing.

Tang Shuxing nodded in understanding.

"Originally, you couldn't wake me up when you entered, but every year in October this place will start to run on its own, after the operation, this island will produce a blue spectacle, this is my explanation for another of your doubts, as for how you woke me up, because you took one of my pieces of metal, and my heart is tracking the metal, so I followed you, and then walked to the position of the cultivation tank, when the two were combined, this completely woke me up." Ida explained there with a blank face, in great detail, "After that, my consciousness began to gradually recover, and it was not until I returned to this place that I completely recovered, but before that, I already sensed in my body that you were not an enemy, and the reason was that I did not consider you an enemy because you had the cells of Gu Dan in your body. ”

"Who is Gu Dan!?" Tang Shuxing was asking, "The animals here are all male and female, and so are people, right?" ”

"Gudan is my husband." Ida smiled, "It's the person who created the qiē, and for convenience, he also created a computer you call artificial intelligence to guard the qiē." When she said this, Yi Wa's face sank, "But Gu Dan is missing, gone, but I found him from your memory, and I also found the computer he created Zào." ”

When Ida said this, Tang Shuxing shuddered, subconsciously stood up, and opened his mouth to say his speculation, but he couldn't say a word for a long time, and Ida seemed to know what he wanted to say, so he just nodded at him and said, "Yes, your speculation is correct, exactly the same as what you think." ”

Tang Shuxing sat down weakly, looked around and said: "No wonder I feel that I have been here, I am not here, I went to the strange tower in the underground Shangdu, the place called the absolute realm of Reinhardthy, Reinhardt is your Gu Dan, and the artificial intelligence earth turtle of unknown origin in the joint column is the thing he created zào, all of them can be explained, which is why for so many years, Shangdu and the combined column are the only two major organizations that can contend with ......"

Ida nodded: "Yes, now it seems." It should be that the Earth Turtle betrayed Gu Dan, or if there was some kind of disagreement between them, I don't understand, because you know very little about them in your memory, especially about the Earth Turtle, all you know is his name, and you can almost say that you don't know anything else, but I can be sure that the other thing is that the so-called Reinhardt is not Gu Dan, but just a parasite of Gu Dan. ”

Tang Shuxing stared at Yiwa. Shaking his head, he said, "Actually, everything happens for a reason. Just like you and Kudan, Gudan and Eva, there are Adam and Eve in the Bible, and there are Adam and Ava in the Quran. Even in Eastern mythology, there is Nuwa. This may be a remnant of the human subconscious. A memory of ancient humans. ”

"Maybe." Ida said calmly, "But I'm not interested in any of that, and the only thing I want to do right now is find Gu Dan." Bring him back, or he'll die. ”

"He's going to die!?" Tang Shuxing stood up suddenly, "He's going to die!?" Do you know how many people he killed? I can't even calculate, seven years ago plus these seven years, he killed at least hundreds of millions of people, those are people, not any other animal creatures, they are all conscious and emotional people, what you want is not to stop him, but to bring him back and save him, it's ridiculous! ”

Yi Wa faced Tang Shuxing, and looked very calm: "The next mass extinction is coming, in my calculations, there will not be more than one million humans surviving, and very few other animals can survive, the earth's environment will be completely changed, and the orbit of this planet will also change, as for what it will become, I don't know, I can't predict, no matter how advanced our science and technology are, we still can't study and understand the mysteries of the universe." ”

Tang Shuxing saw that Yi Wa said this, so he had to sit down again.

Ida shook her head: "As for why Gu Dan did those things, I don't know, and I can't stop him, because he is smarter than me, and I don't know how he left this place safely, because we want to leave this place, and the only way to leave this place is to use a stand-in, that is, to completely seal our consciousness in another body, awaken the original consciousness of that creature, and under the guidance of someone who knows the purpose, to find the other party, and then explain the situation, so that the other party can wake up the person in his body in a suitable environment." ”

Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, "So, you want me to escort you to Reinhate, that is, your Gu Dan, right?" Let me be a bodyguard. ”

"Yes." Ida nodded, "But I'm only responsible for retrieving him, not for stopping him." ”

"You don't know how to negotiate." Tang Shuxing shook his head, "Do you think I will agree?" Even if you said you were going to kill me here, or trap me forever, I wouldn't do that. ”

Ida smiled, "You're sometimes dumber than I thought, don't you understand?" As long as I get Gu Dan back, who do you think can stop you from doing what you want to do next, and if I get Gu Dan back, won't Shang fall apart? If I find Gu Dan and Gu Dan is willing to come back with me, in the same way, he will also find a way to destroy the Earth Turtle or bring him back, then won't all the obstacles in front of you be cleared? ”

Tang Shuxing looked at Yi Wa and wanted to nod but felt that it was a ploy, just hesitating there.

Ida put away her smile: "You can think about it, but the longer you think about it, the closer you are to the time of mass extinction, and the slimmer your hope becomes." ”

Tang Shuxing shook his head: "You don't know how terrible the outside world is, and how weak my strength alone is." ”

"You are very powerful, at least as far as I know, if Gu Dan does not create other creatures similar to you, you should be the most powerful creature of the same size in this world." Ida shook her head, "There are a lot of other things mixed in your body, and the source of your power is also complicated, I hope you can think about it quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Tang Shuxing thought for a while and asked, "But you said that if you go out, you must close your mind, right?" So what do you look for instead? ”

Yi Wa said calmly: "There are countless species here, I can find any one." ”

"No way, you can only find someone!" Tang Shu said, "And it is a healthy and sound person, preferably a person with strength and brains, and who can protect himself." ”

"Nope." Ida shook her head, "The closest thing you can get to here is the creatures you call aliens. ”

"No, no, no, they can't." Tang Shuxing shook his head, and suddenly he remembered, and looked at Yi Wadao, "In the tunnel outside, there is a woman in a certain ice block, a woman who looks exactly like you!" You can use her, if you can bring her back to life! ”

"Nope." Eva's face sank, "Anyone can do it, but she can't!" (To be continued......)
