Chapter 42: Angels and Demons
Shen Yi looked at the girl in front of him intently, still dressed in white, with bright big eyes, standing barefoot on the lawn without a trace of dirt.
It stands to reason that every time people meet each other, they should be more familiar with each other.
Shen Yi felt that he had not made any progress with her - everything was the same as the first time, he still didn't know who she was, why she came, what her name was, or even whether she was human.
Except for one point, he could finally see her face.
A delicate, slightly childish face.
That's all.
After a slight pause, Shen Yi spoke: "Long time no see." ”
"It's just that you don't want to see me. The girl's questions and answers were still as direct.
Shen Yi couldn't help scratching his head.
Indeed, since the Serena incident, he had not taken the initiative to summon the girl in white, although he knew that as long as he called the other party, the other party would definitely come, but he did not do it.
"Well, I'll admit it, what happened last time had some impact on me......" Shen Yi carefully chose the words: "I'm a little scared, I'm afraid that something like Serena will happen again." ”
"I can understand that. The girl's voice remained calm, as if it was not affected by the slightest emotion.
"Then ......" Shen Yi spread his hand: "About the Tianlan team, is it really you behind the scenes?"
The girl looked at Shen Yi calmly: "I'm not the one behind the scenes, I'm just providing them with some help they need." ”
"Why do you want to help them, and what do you have to do with them?"
"I've helped you many times, what do I have to do with you?"
"The problem is that they are in a dead end because of your help. ”
"You also faced Diablo because of my help, do you think it would be easier to kill a demon god at that time than to subdue a robot boss now?"
These words made Shen Yi completely stunned.
Yes, it was precisely because of the guidance of the girl in white that they chose to challenge Diablo. At that time, no matter how you looked at this task, there was almost no possibility of completion.
Therefore, if there is any difference between the Broken Blade team and the Tianlan team, the only difference between them is that under the same guidance of the girl in white, one succeeds and the other fails.
Thinking of this at that moment, Shen Yi muttered, "Actually, at that time...... You didn't expect us to succeed, did you?"
"Yes. The girl in white replied.
Shen Yi already realized in his heart: "So you never came to help us." ”
"I've said I'm here to help myself, but you never believed me. ”
Shen Yi is another flute.
The image of the past flashed in his mind, and the clear dialogue echoed in Shen Yi's ears.
"Can you tell me why you're helping us?"
"It's not me helping you, it's you helping me......"
yes, she made it clear from the beginning.
She never said who she was helping, but the adventurers themselves wishfully thought that this girl in white was the golden finger of their life, the cheating device of the city, thinking that God was blue eyes for themselves, and that they were the protagonists of life.
The reason why they have such thoughts is also because the girl in white has gradually built up their confidence in helping again and again. This confidence is the source of their self-confidence and the key to their destruction, making them more and more willing to take risks and bet their future on shocking gambles again and again until one day they lose everything.
If it weren't for Serena's incident that made Shen Yi wary of her, maybe Shen Yi would continue on this road. In that case, the protagonist of this operation may not be the Tianlan team, but the Broken Blade team.
Of course, it is possible for the Broken Blades team to avoid the mistakes of the Tianlan team and succeed, but the result is nothing more than to continue to trust the girl in white unconditionally in the future until the final defeat.
And that's the scariest part: as long as they're winning, they'll always trust the girl in white, the one who guides them to bet like crazy.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh: "I used to think you were my angel, but now it seems that you are more like a devil in the garb of an angel." ”
The girl in white replied, "I am not an angel or a devil. The problem of human beings is that good and evil are too many of them, and they are either their own people or enemies, but the world is not so simple. ”
"That's just because you've given them hope and led them to the wrong perception step by step. ”
"Isn't the city doing the same?" the girl asked rhetorically.
Shen Yi was dumbfounded.
yes, isn't that what Bloody City does?
Why do they complain about the city that makes them enter the dangerous world again and again, threatening to wipe out at every turn, but instead blame this girl who has not posed any threat to them?
Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that I have no position to blame you at all." In any case, you can only help us and not harm, and all the dangers are actually found by ourselves...... Those deadly traps are all we choose to jump into. ”
"I'm glad you recognise that. ”
"I thought you wouldn't be happy. Shen Yi moved past the girl, and he noticed that her expression did not change in the slightest.
"Maybe one day, I will. The girl's answer made Shen Yi stunned.
After a while, he finally said, "Well, I won't blame you anymore about Team Tianlan, even though it did cause us a lot of trouble. But I don't understand, what the hell are they doing to you?"
"In order to subdue Megatron, without exploiting the vulnerabilities in the system, it is not enough for them to rely on their own strength. ”
"I know that. ”
In the previous battle, the Tianlan team took advantage of the loopholes in the rules of the city to complete the challenge. If it weren't for Gentle and Ou Yang's obstruction, the Night Demon might have completed the subjugation of the lightly crippled Megatron. At that point, even if he abandons the follow-up mission, he will be given at least three one-hour chances to summon Megatron at a time.
The girl continued: "For me, as long as they can exploit those loopholes, it doesn't matter to me whether they succeed or not. ”
"I see, but it doesn't sound like it's doing any harm to the city...... If I'm not mistaken, you're trying to hurt the city. ”
"It doesn't hurt, but it does guarantee that the loopholes in the rules are hard to fix. The design system of the city has the function of self-recovery and compensation, but it does not work immediately, but takes a long time. If, during this time, the vulnerability is exploited again and again......"
Shen Yi understood: "It's like a broken wound in the human body, if you give it a period of time, it can recover by itself." But if there are some small insects crawling around the hole, then it will not only not heal itself, but may erod, right?"
"It's eroding, but it's not falling yet. ”
"Whew......" Shen Yi let out a sigh.
At this moment, he finally understood what the girl was doing all this for.
After understanding all this, many things are easier to do.
You must know that many times, you are not afraid of the opponent's deception, but you are afraid that you do not know what the opponent wants, and therefore you do not know the opponent's weaknesses.
In the past, the reason why adventurers were grateful to the girl in white, and even listened to whatever she said, was because they didn't know what the girl wanted, and they instinctively felt that they had been favored
Unconditionally trusting the other person, thus losing the ability to think and judge independently.
But now, Shen Yi no longer has to worry about all this.
He laughed, "In that case, I just have a question I want to ask you, and I guess you'll be happy to tell me." ”
"Are you trying to ask me, why is there no energy crystallization in this world?"
Shen Yi shrugged: "That's right." ”
"Because it can't be manufactured. ”
"Can't be made?what do you mean?" Shen Yi was puzzled.
"If you were given energy crystals, would you be able to produce Transformers from an assembly line?" asked the girl in white.
Shen Yi froze, and at that moment a bright light flashed in his mind, and he shouted: "I understand, you mean that Transformers are an existence that technology can't solve?!"
Yes, at that moment, Shen Yi finally understood the crux of the problem.
I still remember that when he saw the transformation of the red spider, he felt that the existence of Transformers was completely unscientific. Not to mention that the intelligent existence of the Transformers is groundless, even their volume changes are completely out of the basic scientific category. When an Autobot changes from a human, the volume and mass can be increased several times, needless to mention, the sound waves up to more than ten meters can even be transformed into a small tape recorder, where does the excess mass go?
There was a time when people were superstitious about the omnipotence of science.
That's fart bullshit in itself.
Technology is never omnipotent, it must follow the most basic scientific theories.
Transformers can think, and even feel pain, and every piece of metal on their bodies belongs to living organisms, so it can be said that the existence of these guys is completely contrary to scientific theory.
In this case, although they also have energy crystals, the city cannot give them to adventurers as a reward. The reason is very simple, if you just give the crystals to the city store to buy a body, but an adventurer like Shen Yi who has his own arsenal, if he uses it to develop it himself, the city can't provide the corresponding technology
What to do?
There is no science and technology to make Transformers!
That's why adventurers can't get energy crystals, this world is a science fiction world, but it's actually a magic world in essence. Its existence can only depend on one force, the power of the city itself - dreams come true.
It's just that although the power to make dreams come true is strong, the dreams themselves need to be woven by themselves.
Because of this, although the city can create a completely unscientific existence like the Transformers, it will never be able to invent the science and technology to make the Transformers.
Because it doesn't exist.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the city has established such a complete system of capabilities. At least for the owners of this world, the ability to design dreams is far more important than the realization of dreams......
"But ......" After understanding this, Shen Yi immediately thought of another question: "According to this, the design data of those space battleships I got from the city, as well as the information of the Terminator...... Is it all objective? Is it theoretically in line with reality, and it can be created even if we return to the earth?"
"Yes. The girl replied.
"That's not right!" Shen Yi immediately said: "The Terminator itself is a science fantasy film, human beings only invented movies, but they have never really possessed this kind of technological power. Not to mention a space battleship that can sail across the universe. Yes, they could theoretically exist, but such technology was never invented. ”
"It's just that humans didn't invent it. The girl replied lightly.
Shen Yi's body shook: "You mean ......"
"Didn't you already know?"
Shen Yi sighed for a long time: "The creator of the city, the former master, the god of mankind, and the current supreme council patriarch...... Some alien population that already has a highly developed civilization ......"
