Shen Yi looked at the girl in white, and he finally laughed out loud: "Are you kidding? No, no, I won't promise you." Don't even think about it!"

The girl still said calmly: "If you don't agree, then it won't be long before the administrator will find out about this situation and issue a removal order to Lin Yue." All adventurers will hunt her down, and although she is a being between life and death, there is still a way to kill her completely. Then you will once again be faced with the kind of encounter in the legend of the night. And no matter how you choose, there are only two outcomes in the end, one is that she is killed. Second, you protected her, but you made her reclaim by me. Then you won't even be qualified to negotiate terms with me. ”

"Come on. You simply can't forcibly interfere with the adventurer's actions, so if I don't make a move, the second possibility simply won't arise. Do you think I'm going to continue to fight against the city as I did in the Tales of the Night? No, things have changed. I admit that I do like Lin Yueru, but it's no different from how I like most beautiful girls, she's not my woman, at least not yet!

She must have been very sad to hear this. ”

"You know what it means to be sad? You're just a freak who hasn't even fully developed your feelings! Look, you won't even be angry if I insult you now!" Shen Yi yelled unceremoniously: "I once put the life of the whole team on the line for Serena, but I won't bet the life of the whole team again for another girl! This kind of thing is enough once, maybe I'm sorry for Lin Yueru, but if I do it, I'll be even more sorry for my team." I've made them risk it for me, but I don't have the right to let them risk their lives for me over and over again. And this time...... This time I have no hope of obtaining forgiveness from the Supreme Council. So I'm absolutely not going to do it!"

The girl said indifferently: "You don't need forgiveness from the Supreme Council, only the Supreme Council needs your forgiveness." ”

"What did you say?" Shen Yi was stunned.

"They forcibly took humans hostage into the Bloody City against your own will, so it is they who need your forgiveness, not your forgiveness. ”

"But that's to fight against the Zerg and protect the earth......" Shen Yi found that he couldn't go on.

He suddenly remembered something.

If the master and the adventurer collectively withdraw from the space, and the gods recover themselves, what is the Zerg? They can come to a new agreement - the adventurers give the space freedom, the true god appears, and the Zerg is destroyed.

Shen Yi looked at the girl in a daze: "...... them It's not about fighting the Zerg, is it?"

The girl replied leisurely: "At least not yet." ”

Shen Yi patted his forehead painfully: "The secrets of the city cannot be kept for a long time, and as adventurers get deeper and deeper in contact with space, they will learn more and more about the truth." In order to maintain its rule, sometimes the city needs an enemy. This enemy can make everyone more united, and it can also make everyone more endurance to the harsh reality. ”

Girl Interface: "At the same time, it is also to satisfy their own selfish desires, for the need to dominate and strengthen, and giving up space is also a price they can't accept." Are you sure you are going to serve such a despicable ruler?"

Shen Yi sneered: "What about you, how good are you?"

As he spoke, Shen Yi took out the handheld computer and played a dialogue.

“...... Are you saying that things like free kill mode, where you kill adventurers and get rewards for them, have nothing to do with you?

“...... We sometimes give orders that resemble competitions, but we never advocate killing each other, after all, you will all be our comrades in the future. ”

“...... So what is it that causes those tasks that make us kill each other?"

“...... Didn't you just come into contact with her?"

This is the record of Shen Yi and Lanyan Huanghe when they were talking in the wilderness.

Shen Yi put away the computer: "What the city wants is a warrior, and they have no reason to let the adventurer die in vain." In other words, they kidnapped us, but you are the one who caused the bloodshed and the killing. How much better are you than them, didn't you ask me to destroy the Eye of Hades, and even drastically reduce the number of adventurers who pass the mission, just so that as little spatial energy as possible could be taken out of this space?"

Spatial energy also has its limit, and every time you leave an adventurer, or bring out a special item such as the Eye of Hades, it will reduce the spatial energy. Although this reduction is a drop in the bucket relative to the space itself, Jingwei reclamation, over time, will still have a weakening effect on the space.

If Shen Yi didn't know about the existence of spatial consciousness, he might not have figured it out, but now that he knew, he naturally understood the purpose behind this behavior.

However, contrary to Shen Yi's expectations, the girl shook her head:

"That's the mission mode set by the system, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

"It can't be, there's no reason for them to do that!"

"They have. The girl replied, "Do you think that in their eyes, only the Zerg are enemies?"

"What did you say?" Shen Yi was completely stunned.

But then he understood: "I see...... Whether it is a Zerg or an adventurer, it was created by the Quarez people through this space, but both the Zerg and the humans have a common behavior, which is to rebel against the rule of the Quarez people. So for them, only the common destruction of the Zerg and the adventurer is the most ideal ending. Unfortunately, they can't control the Zerg, so they can only fight the Zerg by adjusting the number of City Guardians. When the Zerg are strong, there are fewer killing missions with each other to allow more adventurers to enter. And when the Zerg are weakened, they will increase the killing mission, so that fewer adventurers will enter...... They're trying to make both sides perish together, damn it, why didn't I think of this!"

Shen Yi scolded angrily.

The girl in white remained calm: "That's exactly what the original plan was. ”

"Initially? And after that?"

"There were some changes, the system began to work on its own, and after that, the countermeasures could not be adjusted, everything was left to the system to decide on its own according to the law. ”

Shen Yi was puzzled: "This is another place I don't understand, why would the Supreme Council lose control of the system?"

"They didn't lose control, they just couldn't modify the established procedures. ”

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course, it's like if you own a car, you can drive it, you can even repair it, but you can't modify it. ”

Shen Yi shouted: "But if you are the inventor of the car, or an expert in this area, then you can transform it." ”

"That's true. The girl in white replied lightly.

Shen Yi was stunned.

He looked at the girl in white, but the other party didn't say a word, just looked at him calmly.

However, in that look, he seemed to have seen a very terrible thing.

Shen Yi muttered, "Unless...... Unless...... Unless you're just the owner, not the creator......"

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

Quaternary!

The strange war whose outcome no one knows and the mysterious appearance of the Administrator of the Fifth Age, which followed......

If......

And if that war ......

If in that war the adventurers revolt again......

Suddenly, he understood.

He took a few steps back, looked at the girl, and shook his head repeatedly: "No...... No...... That's impossible...... It can't be!"

He looked at the girl in white: "You're lying to me, are you?"

The girl's voice was like a well: "I haven't learned to lie yet. Lies to me are false rules that cannot exist. But for humans, it's everywhere. ”

Shen Yi chuckled lowly: "Yes...... You didn't lie to me...... These damn beasts...... I should have thought of it a long time ago...... They won, right?"

"No wonder those managers are so obedient, no wonder the guys in the Supreme Council think so much like humans, no wonder they have lost the ability to transform the system, no wonder there are only seven ...... in the Supreme Council."

Shen Yi said word by word: "They are human beings...... These bastards!"

―――――――――――――――

Silent!

Long silence!

After a long time, Shen Yicai said hoarsely: "There are no Quarez people, there is no master, everything is a lie." Humanity overthrew the original owner of this space, but chose to inherit the throne and inherited everything from the original......"

Speaking of this, Shen Yi chuckled: "Cliff is right, no spirit and will can truly prosper. Human beings have the spirit of resisting tyranny/politics, have the fighting spirit to sacrifice their lives for freedom, but also have the characteristics of betraying dreams and self-depravity, human beings are great and small, good and cruel, generous and selfish, these countless qualities are concentrated in each person and change according to the environment. Whichever word is used to describe human beings, it is thin and pale......"

The girl has continued: "The war of the Quaternary does not take place in space, but outside space. Due to the change in the living conditions of the adventurers by the Quarels, the number of adventurers increased rapidly, and in the last sortie war, they finally defeated the Zerg, but the Quarez people did not have a chance to cheer the victory. ”

Shen Yi snorted coldly: "Because just when they were victorious, the adventurers gave the juggernauts the deadliest blow. ”

The girl nodded: "The Quaresses can't figure out why the adventurers rebel after they have already given them enough good living conditions. ”

"That's because rebellion usually depends on two factors. One is the cost of rebellion, and the other is the probability of success of rebellion. For people with a good life, the cost of rebellion is too high to be worth rebelling, but for people who live in extremely bad circumstances, they are facing death at any time, and even if they fail, they have nothing to lose. The Quarez people improved the living environment of the human race and raised the cost of rebellion. But what they overlooked was the decline in their own strength due to the massive death of the Quaresses, and the increase in the strength of the rebels due to the rapid increase in the number of adventurers. While the cost of rebellion has increased, the chances of success have also increased dramatically...... So a new revolt still broke out, and this time, they really had to win. The Quarez people did not lose to the revolutionaries, but to the careerists, hehe, this is not uncommon in history. ”

"I see. This time it was the turn of the girl in white to think a little.

She thought for a while, nodded and said to Shen Yi: "Your words have helped me a lot, and many questions that I couldn't figure out before are now somewhat understood." ”

"But I still don't understand a few questions. Shen Yi said.

"You say. ”

"First, if humans have taken control of the city, and the Zerg are only stocked to create an enemy, then this enemy should be controllable! Why is there such a powerful life as the Zerg brood? This is not in line with the basic principle of stocking. ”

"Second, if it is true that humans control the city, then they should already have the ability to return to the earth at any time, why has there never been an adventurer on the earth? But why didn't they do it?"

"The third and most important point is that the above two issues can be combined into one. If I take control of the city, I can go back to Earth to show my strength instead of stocking the Zerg. Believe me, there will be a large number of earthlings who are willing to join the city. At that point, we will neither need a single Zerg enemy, nor will we need to forcibly plunder. There will be no resistance, no betrayal, and no more messy things that are happening now! Why? Why can't a group of people who can remove the Quarez people from power even think of such an easy way? Or can't they do it? They can't go back to Earth, and they still have to face a powerful enemy, so what's the point of them taking the city?"

Shen Yi stared at the girl in white and asked sharply.

At that moment, he really hoped that because of the question he asked, everything the girl said was completely false.

The girl replied:

"The war of the Quaternary took place outside of space, an area that I couldn't reach. So I only know the result, not the process. ”

"Your problem, and my problem, may be the ultimate problem of all this. ”

"But I can't give you an answer. ”

"If one day, you can complete the final mission, enter the Tower of Babel, and defeat the Supreme Council, then you will know everything. ”

"I'm looking forward to the war of resistance from the Fifth Age. ”

"Perhaps, it will be you who will lead it. ”
