According to Nolan's description, in the last few reincarnations, the world has been coming to an end without exception.

"Wasn't that how it used to be?" Hao Ren heard the deep meaning of Nolan's words, and immediately followed up with a question.

"Before? In the beginning? Nolan thought for a moment, "Not at first. The earliest 'scripts' in my memory were peaceful, and although the world reset was weird, the world was safe after each reset. There were no wars, the world was peaceful, and there was generally abundance - and now that I think about it, apart from being a little boring, life was peaceful, even lethargic. Sometimes my family and I live in a big house in the mountains, sometimes I am a small citizen who is safe and prosperous, and I remember that I was even the daughter of the president and the princess of a small country on the sea...... It was a time when there was no war at all. ”

Hao Ren listened in astonishment, he thought that every reincarnation in this world was the end of the world, but he didn't expect that the deepest part of Nolan's memory was actually a pastoral era. He paused and asked, "Then when did there be war in the world?" ”

"I can't remember," Nolan whispered, "you know, it's hard to remember the exact time in reincarnation. I can only roughly guess that it is in the middle of my memory...... Three or four thousand years ago, or a little earlier, every cycle of the world began to be dangerous. Initially, there were sporadic wars in the 'script', then natural and man-made disasters when the reset was imminent, and then it developed into large-scale wars and even extermination wars. In the last dozens of reincarnations, the world has shown signs of coming to an end before resetting, and has begun with an iconic cataclysm. ”

"The nano machine swarm is out of control......" Hao Ren muttered in a low voice. The event itself may be an illusion, but it has symbolic significance...... Maybe it represents the direction of the world. Or some kind of 'main line'? ”

"The world is an absurd stage play," Nolan said, expressionless. "I guess the director of this stage play happens to like disaster movies lately."

Nolan likes to describe the world as a stage, and directly uses "script", "director", and "plot" to tell his own experience, and now Hao Ren agrees with this statement. But he also had something else to think about: "Have you tried to connect with people in the 'real world' or the 'waking world'?" ”

"You say those 'people' who control this stage outside?" Nolan looked into Hao Ren's eyes and suddenly smiled, "I tried, many, many years ago, but it didn't work, no one responded, no matter how big I made a move." Even detonating a nuclear bomb in a city and blowing up the entire continental shelf is useless, and no one will respond to me, they will just silently press the reset button and replace this broken stage with a new one. It's unrealistic to want to 'wake up', we're all stuck here, we're part of this script, and the people holding the script don't care about the little complaints of our characters. ”

"It sounds a bit like self-defeating," Hao Ren sighed, "if possible." Reaching out to the 'waking world' is the only way. ”

He felt that things were in a dilemma, and in the dream plane of reality, he could not locate the location of the planet Drom, on this "false stage". He has no access to the real world, and if he wants to be forced to wake up here, he can only sit up from the hibernation pod at home: some kind of sleeping rule prevents him from accessing the world behind the scenes. Even though it looked like it was only covered by a thin black veil, it was completely impossible to grasp and touch.

It's just heart-scratching.

Nolan hears that Hao Ren is interested in the waking world. Immediately, a stern warning: "Don't try it rashly, and don't even think too much about it in your head." That's how Heaton went crazy. I tried it once before, and as a result, my brain was damaged, and I spent four years lying in the hospital - there must be some mechanism in this world that prevents us from getting out of this place, some mechanism that we simply can't resist. ”

"You say the brain is damaged?!" Hao Ren's heart was agitated, "In other words, this world will actively react to the idea of 'detachment' of human beings?" ”

Nolan was taken aback by Hao Ren's eager eyes: "What do you want to do?" ”

Hao Ren looked excited: "If you study this 'active reaction', isn't it equivalent to confronting the controller behind the scenes?" ”

"I advise you to dispel this idea at once," Nolan frowned, "and without mentioning where you start, are you sure that the accusers behind the scenes of the world would be interested in a small 'character'?" I even suspect that the sober people who keep their memories like you and me are deliberately left by the 'director' just to enhance the fun. ”

Hao Ren leaned back on the frame of the mountain bike with his head in his hands, and exhaled softly: "If that's the case, then it's really a bad 'director'." ”

Nolan's warning didn't mean much to him, no matter who was behind the scenes of this world or what was controlling it, "it" was unlikely to affect a spirit clone, Hao Ren was now glad that he was teleported in through a dream, and in the real world there was an advanced Xiling dormancy device as a safety lock, he was not afraid of the counterattack of this world. But before he can officially launch the "attack", he must first find the key to being able to talk to the behind-the-scenes controllers of this world.

"Nanomachine Swarm......" Hao Ren mentioned this matter again, he thought of the mysterious voice he heard in the haze when he entered the Northland Ruins Group before, and his intuition told him, I am afraid that it is what he is looking for, "This world has come to an end without exception in recent reincarnation, Nolan, do you think this is simply because someone who writes 'scripts' has a bad hobby?" ”

Nolan looked over curiously: "What do you mean ......?"

"Even if you like to watch disaster movies, you should vomit after watching them dozens of times in a row," Hao Ren said slowly, "I prefer that the behind-the-scenes controller of this world is not capable of controlling the overall situation, maybe something is wrong with his program, and the world will collapse after a period of time." You said that the first many reincarnations in this world were peaceful, and it seemed to me that it was like a paradise, and I don't think a 'person' who can make this kind of paradise world suddenly change his temperament and want to do the end of the world. ”

Nolan didn't say anything, just looked at Hao Ren quietly for a while. She felt that the man in front of her was too naïve, but she had no intention of correcting anything, she believed that as long as Hao Ren experienced a few more reincarnations like her, and experienced a few more battles, he would become like herself.

Nolan had been naïve - and had died on that naivety more than once. Now she looks immature, but her heart has been vicissitudes and hard, and after the excitement of meeting her "companion" for the first time fades, she turns her attention away from the act of exploring the ethereal nature of the world, and begins to think about the next actions of the three of them.

"The situation of this reincarnation is worse than before, it seems that we have been thrown on the battlefield from the beginning." Nolan rubbed his forehead and whispered, "If my memory is correct, this time's 'script' is like this: the planet's aerospace technology is in a deformed state, and a huge 'Chosen Empire' controls all cutting-edge technology, and prohibits 'mortal countries' from launching high-orbit vehicles into the sky, and those who conduct space research privately are called extremist astronauts by this empire, and they are strangled like terrorists." At this point in time, there is a serious struggle for imperial power within the 'Chosen Empire', some scientific and technological information has been leaked by the progressive aristocracy, and the rest of the world is uniting against the overlord. Perhaps there will soon be a world war here, no smaller than the Sixty Years' War in the last reincarnation. ”

"What is your identity this time?" Hao Ren asked casually.

"Freedom fighters on a rampage in a modified car," Nolan patted the big tire he was leaning on with his backhand, "To put it bluntly, he should be a rogue bandit, this time he came to help guard the secret base for a high commission, but I just threw my employer off and ran away, so there should be some trouble next." But don't worry, I'm used to it...... Every time the world is reset, I have to scramble for a while, and there is a price to pay for keeping the memories of reincarnation, and I always can't fit into the new characters well. ”

Nolan smiled wryly and shook his head, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh yes, just a word of caution, you may also meet the Grey Fox's companions...... I'm sorry, but they're not necessarily our companions this time. If hostile...... Make them as enjoyable as possible. ”

The corpse Ji who was studying with her feet not far away suddenly interjected: "Is this necessary?" ”

"This is to keep yourself alive," Nolan was expressionless, "Anyway, sooner or later, the world will reset, what's the use of keeping so many feelings?" 'Innocence' is the first thing to be discarded. (To be continued......)
