Chapter 74: The Colonel
All along, all the students who entered this simulated battlefield, no matter how powerful they were in the face of the mechanical forces and NPCs here, they had an indelible sense of superiority in their subconscious.
The reason is simple, because you are just NPCs, a cloning program and a clone consciousness that imitates history, and we are living people.
But now, the white colonel who appeared in front of him actually told him directly: You are a student who has come to mock the battlefield trial.
What does this mean? This NPC who appeared in front of him already knew the fact that the world he was in was virtual?
It's absolutely impossible.
Or is he ...... at all Just a living person?
Mu Yang admitted: "Yes, I am a student who entered the simulated battlefield here. But who are you? ”
There is nothing to deny about this.
Colonel Ford in front of him smiled. He pointed to himself, looking lonely: "Me? I am Chiron in Greek mythology. I am the eternal, but I am also the damned of the immortal. ”
He stood on the huge red carpet in the center of the museum and looked at Mu Yang with pale blue eyes:
"Listen, kid, I know you have a lot of doubts. But you and I can only answer you three questions. After the three questions, it is time for you and me to fight to the death. ”
"No telekinesis, no other tools. and with the sword in our hands to divide the victory. ”
Muyang has no nonsense. First question:
"Why are you aware of your presence in a simulated battlefield?"
"Because I'm different from those programs. I exist here as a soul. ”
Ford replied,
"It may subvert your worldview, but the soul does exist."
"Three hundred years ago, when I landed on St. Ford as a mercenary, I saw a civilization called the Star Saints, a civilization built on the foundation of 'morality'. I make a wish to them for eternal life. They fulfilled my desires and stripped my soul from my body. Since then, I have been forever present in every image and audio about me. Only one person in this world remembers my name, and one person realizes my existence, and my soul will never die. ”
Mu Yang didn't understand what he meant, what existed in the video and audio? However, he can also really feel that there is not much time left for both sides.
Mu Yang no longer struggled with the first question, he asked the second question:
"What was the purpose of the cyborg riot back then, and was it related to the Star Saint civilization?"
Colonel Ford smiled slightly:
"You're a clever little ghost. Strictly speaking, these should be two problems. ”
"But let me answer you."
"Strictly speaking, it's not the Star Saint who made the robot choose to riot, it's the robot's own will that chooses to riot."
Mu Yang felt a little bad and interrupted him: "This can't be! According to the inferior programming of these ancient robots, it will not take 10,000 years for them to evolve the ability to think independently. ”
Ford replied, "This is the mission of the civilization of the Star Saint to come to the world!" As I said, all the values and outlook on life of their civilization are based on 'morality'! They want every inch of existence, even a robot, to control their own destiny and destiny, rather than simply being a tool of humanity. As you can see, the Star Sage has the ability to make the City of Machines understand 'appreciation' and 'learning', as evidenced by the existence of museums and libraries, and their brains are beginning to develop in a direction closer to humans. ”
"However, those human beings cannot comprehend such a noble and great act, and they think that the Star Saint Civilization is a terrifying civilization with a very high degree of danger, and one day they will destroy it all. I gave them a chance, but they refused to communicate with me, and I had no choice but to kill all those who knew what they had entered the depths of the desert. ”
(This is ridiculous!) For the civilization of the Star Saints, what is the point of doing this for them? )
(From a human point of view, Colonel Ford is indeed a fake mole!) )
Mu Yang wanted to roar out loud, but he didn't. He only had one problem in his hands.
One last question:
"What is the weapon given to me by the Star Sage?"
Mu Yang realized that the Star Saint gave him the sword law, and Colonel Ford's appearance in this museum must have something to do with it.
"Good question. Right to the point. Colonel Ford clapped his hands, "Before you, there were people who stumbled up here and asked me three questions and nonsense. After asking, they didn't understand anything, and I had to kill them in the mock battlefield. ”
Mu Yang glanced up at the dome of the museum.
"Don't worry." Colonel Ford said, "When I kill them here, I just erase the memory of them seeing me on the simulated battlefield." ”
"We meet here, and we won't be seen by anyone, and we won't be discovered by the watchers on the simulated battlefield."
Answer to the last question:
"The weapon in your hand symbolizes bondage, and the weapon in my hand symbolizes liberation. We are born enemies, and only law can overcome emptiness, shatter my never-ending life, and put my life back on track. ”
"Before disappearing, the Star Saint Civilization finally told me that the reason why they gave me eternal life was to make me understand that all life and meaning in the universe are false. There is no meaning to power, no meaning to reproduction, no meaning to immortality. Only morality, which is above all else, is all that is above the law. ”
"One day, I will be tired of the absolutely endless eternal life and yearn to end this journey of life. That is to have successfully reached the state of mind of 'Nirvana', and have reached the same moral height as the Star Saint civilization. ”
"This is also the meaning of the existence of the Star Saint Civilization. Spreading their morals and ideas will eventually lead to the ultimate sublimation of everything in the entire universe. ”
Colonel Ford slowly pulled out the patterned Western court soft sword from behind:
"And now, I'm tired of talking about my eternal life. Please end my life and complete my nirvana. ”
He sent a plea to Mu Yang.
(What an incomprehensible civilization of madmen.) )
(Is the purpose of their existence to pursue nothingness and death?) )
Mu Yang looked at the palace sword in his hand, this was the void in his mouth. Look at the narrow, sharp blades, much like the sections on the cuts of the fallen robots.
The entire empty city of machines, and even the mastermind at this moment, died under this sword?
Perhaps, for countless repetitive days and nights, this eternal named Ford walked the land of St. Ford out of boredom, slashing and slashing all the cyborgs as boring toys. But every time the simulated battlefield here restarts, the dead Broken Metal Man will be resurrected as a program.
"Perhaps, you may consider killing yourself with the law."
"I can't do it. If I kill myself, or if I don't do my best to fight the master of Ritsu, I will still be resurrected the next time the simulated battlefield restarts. ”
Ford brandished the court sword and walked towards Muyang.
"Perhaps, I also longed for a gorgeous battle as the end of my life. I have answered all your questions, this is my last obsession, please also be satisfied. ”
"I see."
Mu Yang nodded, and at the same time pulled out the weapon given to him by the Star Saint, and the two figures rushed towards each other on the red carpet under the huge museum, meeting quickly.
One is a soldier who has survived countless restarts of the simulated battlefield for hundreds of years.
The other is a telekinesis who killed nearly 10,000 faceless people in the dream battlefield and stepped into the realm of martial arts selflessness in half a step.
"Hope I can satisfy you."
The swords of the two intersected in the air, blooming with a gorgeous and graceful light in the air.
