Chapter 824: Identity
"Who am I?"
Dai Xiaolou smiled very self-deprecatingly, lit a cigarette on the screen as usual, and smoked slowly: "You mean me now?" Or is it the old me? ”
Su Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Is there a difference between the two answers?
After thinking for a moment, Su Hao asked without hesitation: "Who were you before?" ”
Dai Xiaolou took a puff of cigarette in an extremely elegant posture, spraying a thick smoke, and his voice was flat, but to Su Hao's ears, it was as shocking as thunder.
"I'm Sibo."
Skob?
Sibo!
Su Hao opened his mouth involuntarily, his face full of shock and incredulity.
"Weird, isn't it? I think so too. ”
Dai Xiaolou said lightly: "I knew you would have such an expression." Your reaction was pretty much the same as I expected. When I first came here, I felt the same way you did. I felt like I must have come back from the dead and come to another world. However, everything here is so real that I can't tell if it's an imaginary world? Or is it real happening in another time and space? ”
You have an ordinary origin, an ordinary upbringing, and a very ordinary death.
You have an ordinary origin, an ordinary upbringing, at the age of forty, the colonial space realm you live in was attacked by a large army of dark creatures, and you and your neighbors were killed by the dark creatures who chased you in the escape.
You have an ordinary origin, an ordinary upbringing, and at the age of forty, the spatial realm you live in was attacked by a unit of gene stealers, and you died of illness three years after becoming a slave.
You have an ordinary origin, an ordinary upbringing, and at the age of forty, the spatial realm you live in was attacked by the Tyranid swarm, and the entire population of the entire space was swallowed up.
You have an ordinary origin, an ordinary upbringing, and at the age of forty, the spatial realm where you live was attacked by a demon legion, and the entire inhabitants of the spatial realm were slaughtered.
When you were very young, you were identified as having a talent for supernatural abilities, and several members of the High Inquisition, despite your parents' pleas, sent you to a huge heavy airship loaded with ships full of paranormal beings like you. After a few months of sailing, you have been taken to the Imperial Overworld. As soon as you get off the boat, you are sent to huge buildings like a labyrinth, and after going through all kinds of torture-like tests, one of you tells you that you have passed the test. After seeing that most of the people who came with you were sent away without passing the examination, you were taken to a square of the palace with a few lucky people, and one of them said to you, "The power of the emperor is with you." Then you feel a white light shining in your heart. Your eyes can no longer see, but you can clearly feel everything around you through another mystical sense of your own. You have become one of the Occult Beings in the service of the Empire, known as the Psionic Communicator, who sends countless messages through the dark subspace to the other side of the world, receiving communications from faraway places. After more than forty years of dedicated work in many positions, you were attacked and brutally murdered by dark creatures while serving in the service of the Imperial Airship Transport Force.
You were born in the realm of space on the edge of the empire, becoming a bounty hunter, battling criminals and creditors all day long, enemies and friends. I have lived many incredible crises, and finally once, I was stabbed in the back because of a woman.
"I know everything you want to ask me."
Dai Xiaolou closed his eyes, kept replaying all these illusory scenes in his mind, and said calmly: "I don't know the answer, and I can't answer your question. I, like you, am a lost soul in this plane. ”
"Soul?"
Su Hao grabbed the word in Dai Xiaolou's sentence: "Why do you say that?" ”
"Do you think we're still the same as we were when we were on Earth?"
Dai Xiaolou replied calmly: "We traveled through time and space just to find the so-called Atlanteans. The difference is that you took the initiative to come to this world, but I was sent to this world by Wang Qinian. After you're gone, I'll enter the portal and go to the Red Dragon Planet. Dean Wang arranged for me to be the second batch of reinforcements to enter the space gate of the Red Dragon Planet. I was joined by more than 100 other people. I don't know what happened to the others, but I ...... You can see that my appearance is no longer the same as before, and you see that I can't make out and don't know who I really am. ”
Su Hao was silent.
From Dai Xiaolou's mouth, the words "I am Sibo" were already shocking. But Su Hao knew very well: Dai Xiaolou did not lie. Even if he really wanted to lie and deceive himself, he would never use the name of Sibo.
Only the people on earth know the true meaning of the name Sibo.
And here, is the third stage of the world.
"Didn't you always find it weird, why did I show you those notes?"
Dai Xiaolou regained his cynical appearance, holding a cigarette and saying: "Everyone's experience is different. With your ability, you should be able to see that there are many traces of our own people in it. ”
"You mean, the existence of the portal is just a method of connecting the mind or the soul?"
"I don't know. I just know that I am now and not who I used to be. I woke up from the body of the guy called Hudson and changed myself to my current name. Then, he was awarded a medal by the Military Command Headquarters for his bravery in battle, and participated in the selection of the "Iron Warrior". Now, I am the Chief of Legion Intelligence. ”
Saying that, Dai Xiaolou sighed: "You are no different from the past. When I first saw you, you can't imagine how excited I was. I've finally found someone here who is from Earth like me. Of course, there may be many more like us, but no one can reveal their secrets. ”
This is indeed true. No one will take the initiative to say that they are not the original owner of the body. To do so will only turn yourself into a monster in the eyes of others.
You have an ordinary origin, an ordinary upbringing.
You are the eldest son in a family of seven siblings, and after your father's early death, you assisted your mother in pulling the younger siblings. But the opportunity to work in your world is hard to come by, and at the age of seventeen, you have the heart to join the Reichwehr by falsely claiming your age, just to give your family one less person to eat and one more income. Unexpectedly, your abilities are not bad, and you have been assigned to the Imperial Airship Unit. After two years of training, you become a pilot of a heavy airship. Your flying group joined a massive battle against the dark creatures, and after more than twenty years of war, your airship team had a mediocre record but survived. During a transport mission, your plane malfunctions and crashes into the sea in that space field.
You grew up in a space world with a tradition of Imperial Wehrmacht soldiers, and you didn't have a good time because you offended people. At the age of thirty, you decided to try your luck and joined in an emergency Wehrmacht recruitment as a mechanized division, driving a "Chimera" tank. A cautious personality that allows you and your tank to survive many battles. At the age of forty-five, you became a fleet leader and were killed in a battle against the Dark Legion.
You come from an ordinary imperial family, and when you were young, you entered a military academy because of your intelligence. Your brilliant insight and ability to uncover the truth are noticed by an Inquisitor who takes you away as an apprentice. Your mentor discovers your talent for supernatural abilities at a young age, and he teaches you the practice of conviction and correct instructions on how to use your abilities to resist the temptation of whispering in the dark. Gradually, you grow into a brilliant inquisitor, you use your terrifying abilities to knock down and purge the enemies of empires, and between heretics and dark believers, your name means fear and death. Finally, in an investigation, you discover how some heretical groups use subspace weapons, and how they use demon-possessed people to manipulate immense powers. You're amazed at how effectively the power of subspace can be used, and you start researching it to get the hang of it. After battling the dark spirits, you have managed to imprison a demon in your body. Through its whispers in your head, you learn the deepest secrets of your enemies, grasp their most hidden weaknesses, and one space demon after another falls under your sword. But your comrades cannot share your madness, and they declare you a great heretic, a traitor to the Empire. After ten years of hunting, in a canyon, more than twenty inquisitors have finally teamed up to kill you.
You are born destined to be different from others. You are a member of the Great Navigator family, and that third eye in your head is a testament to the excellence of your bloodline. The influence of the Navigator family in the empire is immeasurable. You've trained to become a Senior Navigator for the Imperial Space Exploration Force. Forty years have passed as you guide the space converter safely through the subspace to your destination again and again, and you're already a well-established member of your clan and the local Navigator Guild. When your grandson was already born, the thirteenth Black Holy War broke out. The space teleporter you navigated finally went on a miss, directly connecting to the enemy-filled space realm. You are killed in the matchup, killed.
Su Hao felt that there were many similar thoughts being transmitted from Dai Xiaolou's mind on the other side of the screen, being seen, heard, and perceived by himself.
"It's all very real, don't doubt it."
Dai Xiaolou's voice was calm: "At the beginning, I was almost driven crazy by these strange thoughts. But I survived. Now, I don't think about anything like avenging my parents. This is not Earth after all, and we can't go back. ”
Su Hao took a deep breath: "Where are the others?" You've said that there are other people who are in the same situation as us. Where are they? ”
Dai Xiaolou was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"My wife, she also entered the portal."
Su Hao heard his voice very hoarse: "She should have set off after me, and the destination coordinates are also the Red Dragon Planet." But I couldn't wait for her to come. ”
Dai Xiaolou raised his head and showed an extremely strange expression.
You are a gambler who lost your freedom when you were thirty years old and were sold into slavery by casino people, working all day in the underground factories of the nest city, living a life that is not even as good as a worker. In your fifties, your body is no longer strong, and the factory owner has put you in the ranks of artificial transformation, and you have become a half-self-aware mechanical servant. After another ten years, terrible creatures descended from the sky, and the whole world was gradually eaten away by them, and you were armed to join the defense of the city, fighting tirelessly in the face of a tidal wave of enemies, until a Tyranid xenomorph pounced on you, and in the final moments of your life, you saw endless biochemical beasts pouring towards the city.
You were born into a family of ordinary urban world dwellers at the bottom of the world, and like your parents, you became a worker. In this life, he has experienced all kinds of small things, there is a family, two children, but the same poverty, died of a serious illness at the age of sixty-four, and has never seen the world outside this layer of the city in his life.
You were born in an ordinary non-war zone space field, and you are not very interested in technology, but you were also selected by the church personnel to be an apprentice when you were a child, and you studied with everyone, and were assigned to different positions with everyone, becoming an ordinary blacksmith technology administrator. After more than fifty years without wind and rain, he replaced a dead old researcher, but the following year he was branded a heretic due to a sectarian dispute within the church, and became a battle puppet, which was called upon by an inquisitor against a rival faction's inquisitor, and fought to the death.
You are an orphan in a metropolitan world, struggling to survive in the underground society of the space realm since childhood, killing someone with a gun for the first time at the age of fourteen, and since then you have started a life of murder and fugitive. He has a lot of experience in shooting, and after four years, he became a well-known underground hired killer. Betrayed and imprisoned at the age of twenty-three, you became a rebel at the time when the Governor of the Space Realm wanted to betray the independence of the Empire. When the main army entered this space to quell the rebellion, he chose to surrender to the empire and became a sniper of the Imperial Wehrmacht from then on. After the rebel governor was executed by the Inquisition, you were stationed in your original space realm for three years before your troops were deployed to the battlefield to encounter the demon legions. When you escape the battlefield with a large army of followers, you are killed by a pursuing enemy.
You were born in a space dominated by agriculture, and since you were a child, you have longed for things beyond this big farm, and at the age of twenty you joined the army and became a Wehrmacht soldier. After a year as a local defense force, he was transferred to a distant front. Your troops are transported to the battlefield, your company is ordered to storm the enemy positions, and in the process of charging, you are frightened by the enemy's fire and the speed of the death of your comrades around you, your legs no longer have any strength to run forward, and you hear a cry of "Coward!" Then a gunshot goes off and you lose consciousness.
You are the heir to a family of ronin merchants, and you hold the ancient trading power passed down from your family to run the wrecked airship that is not very large. You can go to many places where the Imperial officials are not willing to go, and you collect and smuggle all kinds of weapons and instruments of the dark race that are strictly forbidden by the Inquisition and the Church. Between inherited debts and smuggling, you travel again and again, and your footprints are all over the outlying parts of the empire. You've been hunted by the Inquisitors, you've been wanted by the Dark World, but you've managed to quell the crisis. Finally, at the end of your sixtieth year of trading, your armed airship is attacked by a group of dark warriors, and the ship is destroyed.
The tide of thinking poured into Su Hao's brain again.
"It's strange that you have such thoughts."
Dai Xiaolou looked at Su Hao with pity: "In this world, anything can happen. I've spent a lot of time here looking for portals, or something like that. So far, nothing has been found. Pyramids, Atlanteans, Space Portals...... If I hadn't experienced this myself on Earth, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought it was true. You must have a similar feeling yourself, the technological level of this world has been quite developed, and even a space conversion device has been created. But in any case, it is not a portal on Earth after all, it is at most only connected to another dimension, not another plane. ”
Space and space-time are two completely different concepts.
"The spatial converter has about a 30 percent chance of error. In other words, it has the potential to teleport us to another strange place. Only when both spaces have connection points will the space passage be absolutely secure. I've seen a lot of records of this, and both the Empire and the Dark World have paid a considerable price to explore the realm of space. According to my understanding, the kind of portal between the earth and the red dragon world should also be based on the same technology. But they were created for a different purpose, just to bring more souls from the lower worlds to come here. ”
Su Hao felt very surprised: "Connecting the soul? ”
Dai Xiaolou nodded: "Do you remember the virus storm on the earth?" Every one of us, from the supreme ruler to the common man, believes that the catastrophic virus was the result of a deliberate release by the Atlanteans. However, we all ignore an extremely important key: the human race itself is not all extinct in the virus storm, and the Atlanteans who released the virus did not think about the death of all earthlings. They are obviously unwilling to do this, and are only using virus parasitism to force humanity into a high-intensity war environment. On the one hand, strengthen oneself with a desperate struggle. On the other hand, the purpose of survival of the fittest is achieved by parasitizing the virus. ”
