539. A sad story
To be honest, if it weren't necessary, Ye Ziyun was one of the few people who wouldn't want to use the Eye Thief ability on his teammates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAlthough snooping into other people's past is a thing that can satisfy all kinds of gossip, there is still an essential difference between teammates and enemies, and Ye Ziyun is still a person who respects the privacy of others.
"Hmm... Hopefully Bruai won't cut me ...... in the future."
Ye Ziyun stretched out his hand and drew a cross on his chest, he didn't have a god of faith, but he was also a part-time priest anyway, and at this time, maybe it would really be of some use?
After praying insincerely, Ye Ziyun quietly lifted the blindfold from Bruai's face a little.
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, a torrential rain suddenly fell over the white sea, but it was Bruai, who was able to go wild, and turned the clouds in the sky into clear water......
Also hit by Ye Ziyun's eye thief ability, his red pupil ability was immediately interrupted as soon as it touched Bruai's memory. Because the interruption was so fast, the information that Yeziyun got was only a few fragments.
"Nima, don't you want to be so powerful! Even the ability of Hitomi itself can be disintegrated?! ā
Quickly put a blindfold on Bruai again, and Yeziyun had palpitations. He quickly pulled out his card album to see if there was anything to lose. Because at that moment just now, Ye Ziyun found that the connection between the card of the Snake of Eyes and him had been interrupted!
When Ye Ziyun saw that the card in the card album called the Snake of the Eye Thief was safe and sound, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knows that Bruai's ability can turn everything except lifeforms into clear water, which also includes various skills. But what Ye Ziyun didn't expect was. Bruai's ability can even affect abilities like "spirit detection". Looking at the puddle of clear water that had already fallen on the back of the Howler Whale King, Ye Ziyun's face was only left with a wry smile.
Originally, Yeziyun didn't think it was too much trouble to read Bruai's memory. After all, the ability to steal information was only a matter of a moment, and he knew that it would take a little time for the ability to complete the work. However, it also takes time for Bruai's ability to be activated from the time she sees the target in her sight to the time she completes it. And the existence of this time difference is enough for Ye Ziyun to figure out what he wants to know. This was the conclusion that Yokoyun had come to after repeatedly watching the video of the Black Prayer provided by the system, but it seemed that it was not the case at all now. Maybe the previous situations were just Brue's ability to instinctively protect the holder, but this time it was the real rampage! That's a lot of time between the two!
The previous time I had only obtained some broken memory fragments, and there was no way to figure out why Bruai had gone on a rampage this time. If you want to find out the truth, you must at least piece together a rough piece of Bruai's past. And to do this, Ye Ziyun had to use his ability many times to peek into Bruai's memory.
"Alas... I'm sure I'm going to be cut afterwards......"
Ye Ziyun sighed, and he already had the consciousness of being chased and killed hundreds of millions of streets afterwards.
Time passed little by little, and Ye Ziyun felt unprecedented pleasure ā in the activation of his ability and being forcibly dismantled and interrupted. Just when he was worried that he was about to awaken some bad attribute, the past from the time Bruai opened his eyes until he first met him was finally pieced together into a rough outline. Although Ye Ziyun wanted to continue to watch the journey of Bruai and Li Goudan again, but thinking of the sour feeling when the ability was activated and then forcibly disintegrated and interrupted, Ye Ziyun decisively gave up that idea. If you want to know the story of that journey, Ye Ziyun feels that it is more appropriate to start with Li Goudan.
ā¦ā¦
Nineteen years ago, it was the center of power in East Asia. A group of humans who worship the World Tree as an absolute god conducted an experiment here, and they recreated the embryo culture technology they found in a ruin, based on the genes of a powerful couple who were forced to sacrifice, and cultivated the first and only test-tube baby in the card civilization.
At this moment. Those who participated in the event were convinced that they had stepped into the realm of God. What follows is a frenzied exploration of the unknown.
This IVF is a baby girl, and she is used as a sample by this group of humans for observation. It is used as a reference for future embryo culture technology products. For this reason, the group raised the baby girl, but they also continued to conduct various experiments on her. Among them are inhumane experiments. Fortunately, I don't know if the genes used as material for the appearance of baby girls are good enough. Or maybe it's the luck of this group of people, since the baby girl was bred. The group of embryos never succeeded again. Therefore, as the product of the only successful case, the baby girl was used to carry out various high-risk experiments, but in the end, under the caution of this group, she managed to survive.
Because she has been in that environment since she was born, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her life when she grew up a little, and the life of being pushed into one experiment after another all day long was an ordinary daily life for this girl.
Until one day, another test subject appeared.
The new subject was also a girl, not much older than the one who had been bred in captivity. According to the group, the new test subject was related to the girl who had been bred. They have the same parents, and in terms of blood relationship, these two are actually sisters. The only difference is that the new test subject is a child born to the powerful couple through natural conception, while the girl is artificially bred with genes extracted from the murder of her parents.
The group spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find the girl's own sister, and then used her as a reference for the girl, and conducted a series of experiments that were exactly the same as the girl had experienced.
However, the data returned from many of the experiments by the new test subjects were completely different from the data obtained from the girls, and what bothered the group even more was that many of the experiments that could be performed on the girls were even more annoying. It doesn't work when you put it on this control. Some of the experiments yielded nothing at all, while others obtained data that were completely contrary to those obtained in girls. There are also a very small number of experiments when they are put on this control. It can put their lives in danger!
It is obviously a genetic combination of the same pair of parents, why is there such a big difference?
This kind of problem bothered the group of people who thought they had stepped into the realm of God for a long time, and it was not until the girl who was used as a control object died because of an experiment that the group discovered the problem! Because at the moment of the death of the counterpart, the group saw the light that drifted away in the air, and it was the scene when a human being disappeared as a human credential.
A living human being is called a human being, and a dead human being is nothing more than a corpse. And at the moment of death, whether that human soul is lost to the world or is strong enough to survive, he is no longer human. The corpses left behind are just corpses. And the soul that is fortunate enough to survive, that can only be regarded as the category of spirit monsters, even if this soul still has all the memories of life, but in essence it is already and is only a spirit body.
Since the identity of the human being has been lost, the unique proof of the identity of the human being in this world, the card album, will naturally disappear with it.
It wasn't until that moment that the humans suddenly discovered the girl they had been proud of what they had thought was a perfect work. It is an existence that is not recognized by the World Tree that it worships as an absolute god! They did succeed in raising a baby girl using the same technology they had obtained in the ruins, but the baby girl didn't have the identity that came with her when she was born as a human - a card album! That is, from the very beginning, the identity of that girl was not a human being. It's a humanoid monster!
This discovery drove the group into a frenzy, and they couldn't accept that what they thought they had stepped into the realm of the gods was just a delusion in self-absorption! Afterward, the group found a "It's not like this test subject doesn't have a card album. It's just that it's hiding the excuse that it hasn't woken up yet." And in order to awaken the non-existent card album from the girl's body, the group began even more crazy experiments. And those who experimented with it. Nature can only be the girl herself.
The insane experimentation continued throughout the year, and the group tried all known techniques. In the end, nothing went wrong. Gradually, some of the people who had been involved in the experiment began to abandon this fruitless effort. Because these people, after a one-year buffer period, gradually realized the reason for the matter.
The reference that died a year ago was produced naturally by the strong couple in the form of natural conception, and her identity as a human being is naturally beyond doubt. The girl who is their work is the product of genes collected from the corpses after killing her parents.
If the parents of human beings are human beings, then that human is human beings. It is not surprising that after her parents have lost their human identities and become two corpses, the girl who was bred by collecting genes is not recognized as a human.
Based on non-human genes, the bred girl naturally cannot be recognized as a human being. Those who have figured this out gradually come out of that illusion, but there are only a handful of people who can still keep their sanity at such a time. As a group of people who do everything for that fantasy, how can they simply give up?
So, after people who quit the experiment began to appear, a new round of madness came. Those who are still immersed in madness believe that since girls lack proof of identity as human beings, they can simply be artificially given. As for where does that proof of identity that can be considered conferred come from? That's naturally in the case of a human being with identification!
In the midst of that even more frenzied madness, the first to suffer were those who withdrew from the experiment. They were deprived of their lives by the group of "former colleagues" who were still immersed in madness in various ways and postures in various environments, in order to find the ethereal way to keep their card albums after death!
The final result can be imagined, how can something like a card album be taken away as a proof of the identity of a human being as a "gamer" in this world? In terms of this world, it is a realistic version of a virtual reality game. The moment humans die, their identity as "gamers" is over. It is equivalent to a deletion number. In this case, it is absolutely impossible to take this deleted number for others to use.
If it's a game in the traditional sense. It may also be possible to recover data through unconventional means. However, in this realistic version of the virtual reality game, the world tree, which is equivalent to the game's intelligent mastermind, will not let such a situation happen. Or rather. It can't do that with its capabilities.
In fact, the original design of the World Tree was just a port to bring the fantasy world to life, and the identity of human beings as gamers was set by the madman who planted the World Tree, an absolute rule that even the World Tree could not touch. The methods used by those who worship the World Tree as an absolute god are all based on the abilities granted by the World Tree, just like the players in a game who want to use the skills of the characters in the game itself to influence the real world.
The madness of the madness of the madmen cannot bear fruit, but what cannot be achieved by human means does not mean that it is completely impossible. After all, the world itself is full of wonders, and in order to gain human identity, the girl must rely on herself.
As a result, she inadvertently witnessed the murder of one of the people who had withdrawn from the experiment, with whom she had a good relationship. And after receiving the knowledge that the person used his last strength to pass into her brain with the last of his strength before death, in a technique similar to "memory transmission", the girl had the self-knowledge of being a human being for the first time.
Why are humans human? This is a very esoteric question. But to put it mildly, a human being is only human when a person has a sense of self and affirms that he exists as a human being. After all, the cognition of the world is based on the subjective perspective, and if there is no basis for subjective cognition, then a person is not so much a human being as an organism recorder that is completely consistent with the structure of human components.
As mentioned earlier, for the identity of the "gamer" exclusive to human beings. It is not under the management of the world tree.
So, under the watchful eyes of that group of people, a miracle appeared that had nothing to do with the World Tree at all. At that moment, the girl got her own card album. She began to come into this world as a human being.
The existence of girls has always been an ambiguous state. She herself didn't know how she was different from those people. I don't know how I'm different from those objects, after all, for those crazy people. As a test subject, the girl only needs to cooperate with the experiment obediently, and she doesn't need to know too much. And before there was no correct view of the world. This girl's state is similar to that when Ye Ziyun first arrived in this world, she was in a state of not choosing a camp. The girl at that time could be said to be a wonderful living being, she belonged neither to a human nor a humanoid monster. And choosing a camp is something that can't be forced at all, this kind of thing can be influenced to favor which side it is, but in the end it is you who makes the choice.
After gaining that knowledge, the girl's worldview began to take shape. Because that knowledge comes from a human being, the basis of the girl's worldview, that is, the subjective cognition, is naturally also a human being. Because after acquiring this knowledge, the girl does not think that she is any different from the "human" defined in knowledge. So, in the choice of the faction, she became human.
The moment she gets the card album, the girl is already a real human being. With a human worldview, combined with the knowledge in her mind, the girl learns what her life has always represented. The young mind could not withstand that powerful blow, and the girl fell into despair. Desperation, however, activates the only card in her album - the one that was given a talent when she got it.
The next moment, the city where the girl was located disappeared and turned into a pool of clear water. Also missing was the building she had been living in, along with all the materials in it......
ā¦ā¦
"Hiss~~ It's a sad story, but it also explains why the World Tree has to go around in such a big circle......"
Covering Bruai with an eyepatch again, Ye Ziyun was thoughtful.
The reason for Bruai's ability to run wild has been found, and it is because it is the fault of Ye Ziyun and Uncle Belo to use their teammates as experiments, and it is also the fault of them wearing white coats and glasses. If it only appeared a little, it might not have been able to touch a switch in Brue's heart, but before it was both at the same time. Bruai's rampage was entirely the result of Ye Ziyun and Uncle Bello's own death.
If she wants to heal the psychological shadow in Bruai's heart, it is difficult to find a way for a while, so she can only calm herself down. Before that. Whether it's an eye mask or a space confinement, it's good to use it first. Compared to the "Bruai pacification plan" that couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, Ye Ziyun cared more about the intentions of the World Tree.
Judging from what happened to Bruai and Ye Ziyun's own experience. It's really not about the World Tree to give an identity, or the World Tree is also a powerless thing. If this weren't the case, the World Tree wouldn't need to create an arena to trap the humans at all, just deprive the humans of their card albums. In this world now, the power of human beings all depends on that card album, as long as the card album is lost, it is not too simple to destroy human beings. However, the World Tree did not do this, and even in the arena, which was already clearly a human trap, it still roughly followed the rule of "kill monsters to get cards".
Merely. It seems that you can also get cards by killing humans, which should be a loophole in the rules of the World Tree. Or maybe it's simply the World Tree, which rewards the victors in the battle between humans and humans. It's just that this kind of thing is not explicitly stated, so that people mistakenly think that you can get cards by killing humans, thus provoking internal friction among human beings?
But no matter what, there is no doubt that the World Tree wants to trap humans. Because Ye Ziyun saw her fall into despair many times inexplicably from Bruai's later memories. The World Tree can't directly control humans with card albums, but it's perfectly possible to mislead like the Arena and set some traps. Ye Ziyun repeatedly looked at the memories from Bruai in his mind. It was discovered that many times she was deliberately led into despair. For example, being attacked by a large group of high-level monsters in the safest novice monster area or something, such a thing can be regarded as a coincidence once or twice, but after many times, even a fool can find out that something is wrong. Especially those places tend to be densely populated areas as well. Bruai's figurative traits are very obvious, and when it is discovered that every time she appears is attacked by a large group of monsters, estrangement is inevitable. It's not uncommon to drive away and bully or something.
As long as this kind of thing appears after a false rumor that is recognized by most people, as long as it goes through the same incident several times. Then these false rumors will be closed. After moving away from human society, Bruai became more sensitive. It's easier to fall into despair. Especially those experiences in human society always reminded her of the days when she was in the hands of that group of crazy people. Gradually, Brue's despair increased. In the end, something unfortunate happened. Bruai's ability went on a rampage for the second time, and after the awakening of her ability, she destroyed a human town again.
Unlike the last time the ability was awakened, this event had a large number of witnesses. Coupled with the myth that circulated among the human race, the distinctive Bruai was immediately recognized. Then came the name of the calamity and endless troubles.
ā¦ā¦
"Uncle, do you know anything about a secret experiment nineteen years ago? It was the experiment that caused the largest city in East Asia to disappear in an instant. ā
At this time, Ye Ziyun had already changed his clothes and was packing up those experimental instruments with Uncle Bello.
"That thing was done by the World Tree God Cult, and I don't know exactly what happened, because those guys were crazy, and everyone broke off on their own the moment they were found out and felt that there was no hope of escape. But what does this do, you ask? Could it be related to Bruai's ability to go berserk this time? ā
Uncle Bello is not stupid, Ye Ziyun has just finished reading Bruai's memory, and now there is such a seemingly unrelated question. No matter how you look at it, there must be some unknown connection between the two.
"Huh? That's right... That means that this road will not work, and we have to think of other ways. ā
Listening to Uncle Bello's answer, Ye Ziyun's brows furrowed.
Originally, his plan was to ask Uncle Bello if he had any information, and it was best to find some information about the relevant people, and when he returned to human society, he would find these people to solve Bruai's heart disease. But now it seems that those guys are very resolute, and they will cut off something on their own as soon as they find something wrong, which is even more crisp than those killers and dead soldiers in the pre-civilization period!
"I said little brother Ziyun, is there a problem with Bruai? Are we ...... then?"
Uncle Bello took a look at a large fish tank, which was originally used by Ye Ziyun to capture Brother Biao, but now became Bruai's temporary hospital room. This thing can completely ignore Bruai's ability, and without Yeziyun's permission, Bruai will definitely not be able to get out. In this way, Ye Ziyun can release the spatial confinement of Bruai and replace it with handcuffs produced by the system. The key to the handcuffs, Ye Ziyun, threw the paper to Xiao Yumei, telling her to go in and untie the handcuffs after Bruai regained her composure.
So, Ye Ziyun and Uncle Bello, who had their hands free, could finally discuss something about an untimely snooper......
"I don't know where the other party is yet, so let's wait a minute. And our current communication may have been watched by the other party, until we find the goal, everything is meaningless, and the more we do it, the more it will be exposed. ā
Ye Ziyun's voice was not as cautious as Uncle Bello's, because this was the White Sea, and if nothing else, the guy who was monitoring the group was domineering. And this kind of enveloping range is beyond the current range of spatial perception of seeing and hearing domineering, Ye Ziyun thinks that dodging in front of the other party will not help at all, but will make the other party stare more closely. (To be continued.) )
