Chapter Forty-Eight: Crossing the Realm of Reality

Ready to act? …… By the way, it's time to act......

Lily must be rescued! I can't stay here any longer!

Sebastian was thrilled, and then he woke up from a dream, remembering the most important thing at the moment.

He didn't know what kind of state he was in now, whether he had a nervous breakdown or intermittent madness, or if he had been crazy for a long time but he didn't know it, and thought he could think rationally-

After all, mentally ill people generally do not know that they are mentally ill, and they often lose their judgment of their own mental symptoms and think that their psychology and behavior are normal.

It's just that this kind of thing doesn't matter, the important thing is that Sebastian knows that even if he is crazy, he will still remember a goal.

At best, it's just going to make it sick and crazy, and not giving up.

That is to find his daughter Lily.

"By the way, who are you? …… Why did you know me? ”

After looking at the surrounding environment, Sebastian looked at the woman in front of him who should have saved his life, and suddenly found that he had more problems to worry about.

Just thinking about it, he would feel a splitting headache and a detachment.

"Torres, you can call me Torres, for now you just need to remember that I am your ally...... I guess this is an identity that you can trust and be more secure. ”

Torres said casually, looking down to examine the submachine gun in his hand.

"Allies ......?? Oh, I don't think it's safe at all......"

Sebastian covered his forehead and said with a low moan.

He remembered the black priest who had immediately defended him and two others after the glorious declaration that "I am not your enemy, but your ally."

After that, they really didn't have the courage to go back to the Grand Theater to inspect it, but even fools would know that there was absolutely no chance that the black priest was still alive......

And although there is no credential, and there is no beginning or end, Sebastian just thinks for no reason, or "friend" is some kind of consumable prop?

He didn't know why he had such a strange thought, it seemed a little dangerous.

"I'm with Kieman, and so is your wife, it's an anti-Möbius group, but it's a small group......"

Torres didn't know what Sebastian was thinking, so he kicked a few planks in the way and headed outside.

"Of course, it's impossible to show you any evidence now, anyway, whether you believe me or not, it's only right for us to escape from this hellish place first......

"Wait! What did you say? My wife? Myra? Sebastian's eyes widened.

"That's right, you should thank her, she's very appealing...... We are all a small group centered around her, and the goal is to subvert Morbius and rescue your daughter......"

Torres shrugged, not surprised by his reaction.

"As for us? Don't ask why, Myra is also trying to save her daughter, Kidman and Theodore may have their own reasons, as for me...... I'm just trying to atone for my sins. ”

"Wait, I thought ...... I thought Myra was already ......" Sebastian followed Torres as he felt a growing headache.

"I know, but even your daughter is alive, isn't she? So Myra didn't actually have an accident, and this kind of thing shouldn't make you feel unacceptable. ”

Torres replied without looking back, "She just found out about Lily's condition and understood the need to dismantle the Möbius organization from within, so she joined in." ”

“…… No wonder, Kidman had whispered to me that someone would help me when I came in. Sebastian smiled wryly, and then suddenly noticed a name that had just appeared in Torres's words.

"Wait, Theodore...... So, that Holy Father Theodore is also one of yours? ”

"We only call him Theodore, and we haven't heard of Theodore's "Holy Father", but here, it's probably the same person! Why, you've already met him? ”

"It should be, but he seems to have bad intentions from the beginning, and when he came to me before, he said that he wanted to master the power of the central core, not to help me rescue my daughter......"

Sebastian shook her head.

"Is that so? I don't know too much, it's usually Kidman who is in charge of contacting Theodore...... So you've met him, and what happened next? ”

Hearing this, Torres also frowned.

"I don't know, he should be dead, at that time we happened to be targeted by a very terrifying monster......"

Sebastian said indifferently, since he confirmed that he was an enemy with bad intentions, then there was no need to be sad for the other party.

"By the way, just a few of you? So how exactly do you plan to subvert the Mobius organization? ”

"You're afraid you won't believe it, but we'...... Wait, there seems to be no road ahead. ”

At this point, Torres found that there seemed to be a dead end ahead, the edge of the floating island to be exact.

……

……

The earth collapsed and fell apart.

In many places, the buildings had completely collapsed into a pile of rubble, and there were blazing fires and black smoke rising from them, as well as deep cracks in the ground that had been torn apart by the sheer force.

The desolate scene after the end of the day makes people wonder if this is just after the outbreak of war, and the scene after being washed by various artillery missiles.

The earth is divided into small pieces of different sizes, suspended in the unknown void, but it adds a touch of absurdity and science fiction to this desolate apocalypse.

However, compared to what they had seen before they fell unconscious, they both felt that there was no more peaceful, beautiful, quiet and peaceful scenery in this world......

- It would be nice if the whole world was like that!

As long as there is no kind of indescribable and immeasurable evil, then even the dilapidated and desolate ruins of the apocalypse in front of us are beautiful scenery, and there is nothing unacceptable.

"Everything was messed up, I was with Kidman before...... But it was as if the whole world was falling apart, and all I remember was that the ground under my feet cracked and I just fell......"

Looking at the tragedy around him, Torres's expression was also very ugly.

"Fortunately, you should know that the physical rules of this virtual world are not absolutely perfect, and you will be shocked if you jump from a three-meter-high roof, but if you fall from a height of three hundred meters, it will still be that level of impact......"

Sebastian nodded approvingly: "I know, if it weren't for that, I would have died a long time ago." ”

"yes, I thought I might be dead at the time, and I didn't know anything...... I can't describe the feeling, but you know for sure, I'll never want to do it again, and I'll do whatever it takes. ”

Torres nodded apprehantly, then shuddered.

"But there's still a problem, what do you think of the previous thing...... Where did it go? ”

“……”

“……”

Sebastian's face turned even paler, which he had been subconsciously trying to avoid and ignore the past.

"Kidman also came in, because the situation was completely out of control, and she said that something had escaped from here, and it was actually a virus that infected the body of people at the level of online information to the real level......"

Torres continued, her gaze glazed over the desolate landscape and her voice feeling incredulous.

Because the situation cannot be contained, she can only hope to come in and find the source of the virus and try to solve the problem...... I think we've all seen the source of that virus before......"

“……”

Sebastian didn't speak, he just thought he might be in the nightmare of a nervous breakdown again.

"Or maybe it was because the virus had completely spread out in the outside world, so the conditions were ripe for that thing to completely enter the real world...... We should now—"

Torres closed his eyes and tried to think as calmly as he could.

Thundered!

But at this moment, the ground under her feet suddenly tilted again, and she stumbled and almost fell, but Sebastian reacted in time and grabbed her quickly.

"I want to ...... All we should do now is find the others as soon as possible, and then escape before the space completely collapses. ”

After struggling to pull her up, Sebastian said breathlessly.

"Well, I think I should do that too...... But how should we contact other people now? Torres said with a wry smile.

Now that they have reached the edge of this land, they find that the whole town of Hele has been completely shattered, and the place where they are now is only a floating island, broken and broken.

There is no way out.

Da Da Da ......

At this time, the sound of high-heeled shoes that seemed to be rhythmic suddenly sounded from behind, and the two people, who were gasping slightly, immediately turned around vigilantly and raised their weapons.

"Myra? ...... are you" Sebastian was startled and quickly lowered the pistol in his hand, and he found that the person who came turned out to be his wife, who had been missing for several years.

It's just that it seems that the other party's condition is not very good, and a gypsum-like substance similar to the one brought by the ghost transformation also appeared on his body...... What's going on?!

"I'm here to see you off...... It's going to run out of time......" Myra looked at the two of them, and then said in an emotionless voice.

"What?!"

"I've replaced Lily as the central nucleus of this space, but this space has been destroyed to the point where it's hard to sustain it......"

Myra said with a blank face, "And a part of that being is still rooted here, and I'm going to completely lose the only remaining permissions......

"Wait, wait, Myra! I still have a lot more to ask you! Sebastian, who had mixed feelings after a long absence, suddenly had a premonition that something was wrong, which seemed to be a precursor to another loss?

"There's no time, it's too late to leave, and I've already sent Kidman and Lily out...... If you have any questions, you can ask them. ”

Myra shook her head as she raised her hand.

The surrounding space began to flicker, as if the display was unstable, with snowflakes and tears.

Sebastin's bad premonition seemed to come true, and he hurriedly shouted: "Then let's go together, let's get out of here together!" ”

“…… I'm the central core now, and I have to stay until the end...... All members of the Möbius organization have been implanted with joint brain chips, and I have to send a signal out at the last minute to destroy the brains of all of them......"

Myra continued to shake her head, making a very "sensible" judgment.

And Sebastian, who was about to rush to stop his wife in anger, only felt that his eyes were dark, and he finally knew how these people were going to destroy the Mobius organization.

……

……

Real-world areas outside of STEM.

In the secret base of the Mobius organization, in the laboratory where the STEM prototype is located.

Kidman groaned in a headache and slowly opened her eyes, revealing herself in the machine's coupling vat...... Did you really succeed in escaping? Back to reality?

Struggling to sit up, she quickly looked at the coupling tank beside her, and then found that in addition to Sebastin, Yukiko, Torres and a few other people were still alive, the real body also had the breath of life.

"No, let me go! It's too late...... This is the last chance to stop it!! ”

As the researchers and caregivers around her approached, she suddenly remembered what she should be doing now, and she struggled violently.

After breaking free from the men, she dragged her heavy body and rushed to the facility's console in a few quick steps, quickly starting to type commands on it...... Her slender fingers were trembling, but she was reassuring herself that she still had time.

After the people in the coupling tank behind her heard the moans before waking up, she also typed all the commands, and also received the last signal from Myra.

The process went smoothly, after all, no one had time to take care of the importance of STEM at this time, and everyone knew that she was going in to find a solution, and now she subconsciously felt that she was racing against time to fight against the virus.

So those people were all looking at each other, but no one stepped forward to grab Kieman, and as soon as they delayed, she was allowed to finish her job.

But just after Kidman pressed the enter key, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then her expression froze again, and her heart froze as if it had been nailed into an icicle—

Because the image that appeared on the monitor was not the one she expected, sending the last message backwards and shutting down.

Instead, it shows ...... Updating the system.
