Chapter 109: Newman's Entrustment

"Your brother?" Ye Yuxuan was stunned by the man's words, and then remembered that the wizard did seem to have mentioned that he also had a twin brother, and the wizards also confused the two.

Although the other party has not yet said it clearly, based on the other party's agitated performance, Ye Zi and Yui can roughly guess what happened - his brother should have been caught by the wizard as well, and this is exactly what was not mentioned in the briefing.

"Calm down, think about it carefully, what is the whole process, we need more detailed information, so that we can better rescue your brother." The shirt squatted beside the man, comforting and persuading the strange "person" in front of him in an unusually gentle tone, and his eyes showed a natural sympathy.

Ye Yuxuan thinks that he will also have sympathy for this kind of tragedy that happens to others. However, reason told him that all the events in front of him were created by the program, and that this man was essentially just an AI, which doomed him not to pour too much emotion into it.

However, what Yui is showing at this moment is not a simple, widespread pity, but an empathetic emotion. This kind of emotion, as an "outsider", Ye Yuxuan can't understand it no matter what.

In this case, Yui looks significantly more relatable than usual. But at this moment, Ye Zi only felt a sense of unexplained distance between himself and her, as if he was in two different worlds from her.

"Well......" The man gradually calmed down his overly excited mood, took a deep breath, and began to enter the memory, and at the same time told this memory to the three Ye Yuxuan present: "Here's the thing, my name is Newman Chefer, and I have a twin brother named Webster Chefer, who is a retired army member of Longinus who once assisted the special forces on missions, and I think this is the reason why they want to find him." ”

Speaking of this, Newman let out a long sigh: "However, the first person to be caught by them was me, who was vacationing and relaxing in the forest and lake area. When I woke up again, I was completely under their control, surrounded by theirs......"

"And then you fought back on this cave that led to the underground." Yui added Newman's words to finish, and at the same time, handed the Smith Wilson to Newman: "This should be yours, right?" ”

"It's ...... My pistol. Newman took the silver-gray pistol that Yui handed him, "...... I can't believe that I, who have only been exposed to some firearms training, can take out two or three terrifying legendary wizards at close range with this pistol that I can't fully control......"

Ye Yuxuan nodded slightly, knowing that he was going to die, he was still able to pick up a weapon and fight to the death, and some of the bridges set up by this entrusted task were quite good inducements.

"Yet, as you can see, I have not been able to escape, otherwise I would not have pleaded with you here." Newman laughed self-deprecatingly, "Moreover, I even betrayed my own brother in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin......"

"Betrayal?" Ye Yuxuan grasped the key point at once, and this is obviously not a good word.

Newman sighed, lowered his head and said, "I really can't stand their torture, their torture is not only physical torture, but also ravages my spirit and soul. In the end, my conscience was overcome by the dark side of my heart. ”

"My brother lives in the bustling city center, has a heavily guarded defensive ring outside, and is a standard soldier himself, so he won't be so easy to catch. And if I confess that I don't know any secrets, and if I don't let him go, my brother who understands the situation will find a way to save me, so even if I confess that they caught the wrong person, it doesn't matter...... That's what I thought at the time. ”

Newman picked up the M500, opened the wheel to the side, and looked at the five rounds loaded inside: "This gun was given to me by my younger brother who had just been discharged from the army for self-defense, saying that two people can protect each other if they hold one each...... Ironically, the first time I used it to fire at someone, I did it in self-defense, and even involved my brother, who was supposed to be desperately defending......" Newman closed the wheel, letting his right hand hang down naturally, as if the gun had suddenly become heavy.

The mood of the three people on the side is a little complicated, Newman's behavior must be considered weak, but is it really absolutely wrong? It is true that people can easily fall into madness under extreme pain, and it is possible for Newman's plan to succeed in some cases, but all these tragedies are inevitable that the system has already set.

Newman, who was originally immersed in grief and remorse, suddenly stretched out his right hand towards Yui, and then spread out his palm, handing over the M500 that Yui had just returned to him not long ago in front of her: "I can't really control this powerful weapon, let alone the heaviness of these scars and the sin of betraying my loved ones." Keep this gun, and hopefully it will be worth far more than I can create for it. ”

Yui Uesugi slowly took over the weapon that carried the fetters and sins of the two brothers, and the eyes that looked at Newman changed again, from sympathy at the beginning, to admiration later, and a little contempt, and then to the current complexity.

This may be another disadvantage of the overly realistic system setting, where NPCs are no longer simple and abstract symbols, but flawed people. This can't help but make Ye Yuxuan think, how different are these AIs from humans?

When Yui took over Newman's official handover of the weapon, a new system prompt was sent in, and the Smith Wilson M500, which had always been shown as a mission item, was classified as Yui's personal belongings.

"Damn, this is a reward? So, this commissioned task is completed?" Su Mu said with a loud shout.

Ye Yuxuan analyzed: "No, it shouldn't be yet, this can only be regarded as an early reward, and the fixed reward of 100 points for each of us has not yet arrived." If I'm not mistaken, ...... next."

Sure enough, Newman slowly raised his head and rubbed his eyes, which were already a little red and swollen: "So, please, Webster is probably still in this damn facility, I can't imagine what he's been through, but I beg you to bring him out, please!"
