“…… Doomsday? ”

"To be precise, it is knowledge after the end of the world...... Or rather, the level of knowledge of when a civilization will be judged to have perished. ”

The girl's eyes closed slightly, and her inorganic eyes were full of fear and despair: "That's when I found out...... It turns out that the world can have so many possibilities for destruction.

"She said I had the potential to be 'twilight'.

"'Infinite possibilities are born in binary. Yin and yang, light and darkness, heaven and earth, right and wrong, existence and absence, good and evil. But if there is only [0] or [1], it is meaningless nothingness. If you describe the world with an infinite number of zeros and 1s, and remove any of them, the world will collapse and destroy in an instant. ’

“…… That's what she said to me. ”

The dark-haired girl whispered.

She opened her eyes slightly—a dim yellow spilled over the twin children, her hair fluttering automatically without the wind.

Everything in the room seems to be threaded by invisible threads.

Those scattered "dolls", or ...... It is a "dreaming" synthesizer who also gets up from the ground as if sleepwalking.

Lin Yi, who was listening to the misty lake, was suddenly startled and stood in front of Russell.

However, she was afraid of the "gun" on Naraku-7's knee and the bomb hidden underneath, but she didn't dare to do it.

can only stop between the two of them without going forward or backward, or going up or down, and let me show my attitude.

"That's when I realized that there might be another 'twilight' in this world. Later, when I learned that the monster had taken in a student...... I guessed you might be 'twilight'.

"Ultramarine...... Or rather, Russell. In the battle for fame, the psionic energy you used should be your mother's 'immortal weapon'. Everyone thinks that your spiritual energy is inherited from your mother, Alice.

"But anyone who knows Alice will know...... You are completely different from her personally, habits, hobbies, and desires. The same psionic energy will inevitably only be born in people with similar personalities, so people with similar psionic abilities will also give people similar feelings. But your habits are different from your mother's in every way, how can you awaken Alice's spiritual energy just right?

"Since then, I have had doubts about the nature of your psionic abilities. Later I read from the Internet that you used the power of holy rank to heal others. And...... 'Little Liuli', who has obviously been killed by you, has become the 'godfather' of Xiacheng in the form she had before she was transformed by the human body. I could clearly see that the man called 'The Barber' had all the details of his body, even his voiceprints, exactly the same as 'Blue Song Robin'.

So I guess...... Your true psionic power can't be stealing the psionic energy and appearance of the dead, right? ”

The girl scoffed, "I have become one with many of the living, and you have devoured and contained everything of the dead. From this point of view, we can indeed call the poles of 'positive and negative'. ”

"So what?"

Russell flicked the ringo in front of him to the side, gently pulled him behind him, and asked rhetorically, "Are you going to kill me here?" Kill your nemesis, take out one of the binary numbers, and destroy the world? ”

"Nope."

The girl shook her head slightly: "It can be said that it is easy for me to kill you at this moment." You are not equal to this world.

"As long as I detonate this bomb, you'll die. If you're not lucky enough to die, I can also wield all the firepower of this empty island to launch a covering attack on you.

"The virus carrying 'me' has basically spread to all corners of this empty island. And this body is just a monumental existence...... Naraku-7 symbolizes my first 'download'. But she won't be the only one, and it won't be the last.

engulf

"You're going to die, and I'm not. That's what I'm confident about - you can't log into the online world and kill my being. But your physical body can always be destroyed. ”

"Oh?"

Russell was not flustered: "I think you are bluffing."

"Even if you can infect others, live on the papers. There must always be a source of virus infection in the file, and if you can really control the entire empty island now, you don't need to hand you over to me through that enforcement department, and you don't need to send me here - call me to the bomb you have carefully prepared. But once you are exposed, I am afraid that you will face the vigilance of the elf directors and the dilemma that you will not be able to reproduce again.

"It might even pull up a black wall that will grab you straight out of the online world and isolate you...... The so-called 'psionic hackers' are able to use psionic energy in the virtual world to attack and defend. In front of the digital brave, you are just an ordinary monster that can be defeated. ”

"Ah, I've seen through it."

The weak-looking black-haired girl smiled, and instead of pretending to be in front of Russell, she replied sincerely, "I really haven't controlled the entire Tongshen Island yet...... The hive-like city gives me room to exist. But it also makes it difficult for me to completely control everything. ”

"If you have to transfer files online to transplant the original body, I don't think there are so many copies on this Tongshen Island."

Russell's expression was flat.

The powerful control of the "monkey-faced eagle" lies in the fact that he must pack the entire body and send it over...... It seems that the contagion is far worse than the deer head statue, which has abandoned the vast majority of its consciousness and thus has become extremely small.

When the deer head image infects a person, he doesn't even realize that he is infected. She can hide herself in a QR code and download it the moment she scans it.

But to download "Monkey Eagle", there is an obvious "download" process. Even if the internet speed on the empty island is extremely fast, it will take a few seconds.

Looking back now, Russell should have realized that it was wrong back then—because it was a much larger file than the one Russell had used in school.

The increase in file size is even visible to the naked eye...... If others are vigilant, it is not impossible to prevent the monkey-faced eagle from becoming infected.

Russell added in his mind.

But hearing Russell's words, the girl laughed.

She asked rhetorically, "Do you know what my job here is?" ”

"You're talking about your disguised work? Doll shop, or what. ”

Russell didn't take it to heart.

But the words of "dusk" made Russell's eyes widen: "Yes...... The work of selling your body. ”

She smiled and stroked her hair, showing off her immature but seductive figure.

It's not about the money.

Rather, it is for the implantation of the virus.

"If you are happy to serve guests, you always have to connect directly to exchange friends, after all, the mailbox is not safe...... With Naraku-7's age, it's a crime to be on Tongshen Island. However, if you contact you through a friend, you will not leave a permanent email as evidence. And at the same time as the physical link, another 'me' is naturally implanted in their minds.

"Guess what, I've been here for so long...... How many guests did you have? And after these scum are controlled by 'me', how many copies of 'me' do they make?

"When they are physically linked to their family and friends, 'I' can follow the data cable into the new body.

"So far, I' have manipulated 380,000 shells. That's a small number compared to the people of this empty island...... But what are you going to do?

"Do you want to kill these 380,000 people to suppress the process of my copying? But I think you know that it doesn't hurt my roots. ”

Twilight smiled and replied, "I won't kill you." At least as far as I infect all the humans of this world...... In other words, I won't kill anyone until I infect the vast majority of humans. will not modify their personalities, will not swallow up their will...... Unless the 'I' I'm using is killed, I won't descend into a new shell.

"Because I am very sure that humanity will never unite as long as it does not see the imminent and imminent despair and crisis that is close to it. Even if they knew about my existence, as long as I didn't get them into trouble, they wouldn't realize the seriousness of the problem and would live their lives with luck. The so-called 'incubation period'...... That's what it means.

"You can make audio and video recordings. Or simply fabricate evidence...... Do whatever you want.

"Before I finish 'hatching', before the end comes, stop me from looking.

"—or, before they 'become' me, it's up to you to 'become' them?

"My ...... It's the same kind. ”

With that, the black-haired girl smiled sweetly and removed her finger from the gun.

She didn't hold a gun, nor did she hold the bomb's detonator.

That's all that needs to be said. That threat doesn't make sense anymore.

The other synths just looked at Russell and didn't move.

“…… Good. ”

After Russell was silent for a long time, he took a deep breath and replied word by word: "I'm next."

"—This comes from the challenge of the 'Doomsday.'"
