Chapter 19: The War of the Origins
Why didn't I think about saving her?
The moment she disappeared, I realized everything. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I seemed to have been thinking along with Xie Yan's words.
I'm an AI, but I'm still a gamer.
If I could use my limited power before, would I be able to do anything and change something?
Like, Elise's death?
But she, after all, is a heinous person.
Even though she has been very kind to me.
And she's still mine......
It's mine......
What is it to me?
yes, she doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.
Why, then, did I leave tears in my eyes the moment she disappeared?
Obviously, I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything for her life, I didn't save anything for her death.
But...... It's just inexplicably uncomfortable.
Despite her heinous sins, I wanted to save her as she atoned for her crimes.
The night breeze is light.
The last trace of Elise left in the world also dissipated in Xie Yan's hands.
Xie Yan looked up at the sky, and the night was thick.
"Hey, you."
Hearing the voice, Xie Yan subconsciously glanced back.
A young man with a lightsaber was pointing the tip of his sword at him.
The sword trembled.
"Eun Gong, what do you mean by that?" Xie Yan turned around, a little puzzled.
"I don't know."
I probably made the worst decision of my life, and I was going to fight a battle that I was sure to lose.
And it is foolish to do so that no one will be saved.
"Do you think that the life that exists in the game should not be cherished?" Xie Yan looked at me and suddenly laughed, "Especially the life of a player like you who can be resurrected. ”
"But there is one thing you may not know, the so-called 'deletion', it is the deletion of data...... In other words, if you are a player, your account will be deleted. ”
Xie Yan's expression suddenly became weird, and he walked slowly towards me.
I even felt like the space around him was crumbling a little with every step he took.
But I really can't help it, and now all I have left is despair.
An enemy that even Elise can't defeat, an enemy that can delete everything, how can such a person win?
I don't have a clue.
You can only sit and wait.
So, as he did to Elise then, he reached out to me.
……
"What's going on, what's going on?" Liu Yanruo said to Yin Xuan on the other end of the video.
"I don't know, this is the first time that a server outage of this magnitude has occurred." Yin Xuan shook her head.
"Nope." Yan Shu suddenly entered the chat channel, "This is not an outage, Xuanyin said that there is a deviation." ”
"That's?" The two asked.
"It's just closing the channel between the player and the server." Yan Shu's tone was as calm as ever.
"So that means you have a way to get in?" Liu Yanruo and Yin Xuan looked at Yan Shu expectantly.
Yan Shu shook his head and said, "Don't look at me like this, I don't have either, besides, using this illegal means to enter the game, aren't you afraid of banning?" ”
The two looked at each other and sighed.
"Wash and sleep."
……
I opened my eyes, and Xie Yan's black mist hand vanished.
In its place was a greatsword standing in front of me.
This sword is quite familiar.
"Hey, the source of the mutation has finally been found, it turns out to be here." An equally familiar voice rang out.
I looked up following the sound and saw a Taoist looking like Hanako squatting on the hilt of the sword.
"Summer ...... Impotence? "I couldn't help but speak.
"Ah, we'll meet again." He leapt down and tucked the greatsword behind his back.
Xie Yan reappeared in my field of vision, and when his hand was about to touch me, it must have been this great sword that saved my life.
"Who are you?!" Xie Yan seemed a little angry, maybe it was the first time he had encountered something he couldn't delete.
"Ahh Xia couldn't run his fingers through his long hair and hair, "Why did I choose such a troublesome style in the first place, I can't solve it when it's entangled." ”
"Seriously, how come even NPCs have an origin these days, is this thing so rotten?" Xia couldn't afford to look at Xie Yan in front of him, spreading his hands.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, you're a boss now, not an NPC." Xia couldn't afford to snap his fingers, and the name on Xie Yan's head, which was originally green, turned black.
I've seen carrion monsters with orange names, red perching pythons, and blood-red giant frogs.
I know that the brighter the red in the name, the more dangerous the monster is.
But this black name...... I've never seen it.
"That's right." Xia couldn't pull out the two large revolverss on his waist, "What is needed to uphold justice is justification, otherwise what is the difference between this and murder." ”
"You said yes." He looked at me by the way, "You'll have to make up for the tail knife in a while, and we have rules that you can't hurt anyone." ”
"Me?" I pointed to myself, and he nodded.
"You guys." Xie Yan finally spoke, and he seemed quite dissatisfied.
"Shut up." Xia Wu's eyes suddenly became cold, his eyes locked on Xie Yan, who was atomized on half of his body, and then raised his right hand, and the gunshot rang out.
The projectile swirls in the air, carrying with it the breath of air restlessness.
Xie Yan's face was full of arrogance, and he stood still and didn't move.
How could a man who had once blocked the fire of an army be afraid of a pistol?
And so the familiar scene played out again.
The flow of time seems to slow down.
Xie Yan stood in place, the bullet slowly approaching.
3 m ......
2 m ......
1 meter ......
Half a meter......
The bullet touched Xie Yan's body, and then disappeared in his body.
It all happened so naturally.
"So what? Go on. Xie Yan sneered. Arrogant and uninhibited.
Xia shook his head weakly and put away his two guns.
"Hmph, what's wrong, it wasn't a ...... just now" Xie Yan suddenly frowned.
This expression is definitely not a smug expression.
His body was gradually turning into human form.
The swirling black fog faded away.
"What did you do? What the have you done?! Xie Yan roared hysterically.
Xia waved his hand weakly and lit a cigarette.
"Don't think that you have the origin, look at the one who will make you suck."
"What did you do to him?" Curious, I asked Xia Fuli.
"That's the bullet that has my Origin Ability attached, and my Origin Ability is 'Rollback'." He let out a puff of smoke, "The way he is now is just a few days ago, when he was not united with the source of the plague. ”
"Okay, his life is yours, by the way, he's still the boss, and the culprit who destroyed Gear City and the murderer of Elise, you may have a rich system reward for killing him now." Xia smiled weakly, "Then, see you later." ”
"Wait!" I stopped him as Edgeworth was leaving.
"Aang?" He turned back.
"I have two questions for you." I grabbed the hilt of his sword.
"Oh? I can answer you if it is not out of range, you ask. He looked at me with interest.
"First, who the hell are you? The second ...... Can Elise be resurrected by a rollback? "I plucked up the courage to ask the question.
"Ah......" he thought for a moment, "Well, I can only say that I have no comment on the first question, and as for the second...... The answer is no. ”
"But ......"
I was about to sigh when I heard this turn of events and cheered up again: "But? “
"If you try a little harder, maybe she'll reappear in a better form." The corners of his mouth rose and flew away.
Xie Yan collapsed in place, convulsing all over.
"No...... No...... Not ......"
Words of despair were repeated in his mouth.
"Since I can't survive, then none of you want to escape!" He suddenly turned his back with bloody tears in his eyes, and then raised his right hand.
It's like a switch with a button.
Wait a minute.
My eyes were on the pillared buildings that had not yet been destroyed.
That's what I said before...... Symbiote!
I threw myself at Xie Yan with all my might.
Late.
Xie Yan pressed the switch, with a face full of satisfaction.
"Boom-!!"
"Boom-!!"
The pillars exploded, and unspeakable monsters poured out, some of them about three people tall, some of whom could not even walk upright, dragging dozens of arms and legs to the ground and wriggling on the ground, like human centipedes.
The buildings where they were held finally collapsed, carrying with them flying debris, sparks, and black fog.
"Hahahahahaha!!ha Xie Yan lay on the ground, laughing wildly.
His long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled.
Looking at the devastated city and the monsters raging everywhere, I walked to the place where Elise had disappeared.
Then, picking up the industrial morning star she had left behind, she held it tightly.
