Chapter 60: The Future Guided by Prophecy
- What the monkey-faced eagle is pursuing is such a distorted way of survival.
Although his own life was threatened, Russell felt a sense of pity.
Looking at the girl with dim yellow eyes, Russell read the essence of the other party.
Like a moth's sucking exercise on fresh flower petals.
"This is probably a thought of heaven and a thought of hell......
Russell muttered under his breath.
If the monkey-faced eagle does not choose to "copy and separate" itself after the mind is uploaded, he can still maintain his personality and humanity.
Even under the persecution of Chairman Sailun, he lost his physical body, projected his consciousness into the network, and turned into an electronic ghost wandering in the world of data...... He was still able to retain his human self-esteem.
He didn't even have to do anything - even if he descended directly into Naraku-7's body and merged the two wills into one, it wouldn't fundamentally affect or change anything.
But what he used to fuse with Naraku-7 was not "all" of himself. He took all of Naraku-7's personality and paid for a copy of himself......
From that moment on, he went from a living human being to an infinitely multiplying thinking virus.
It was also from then that he became the "Egg of Twilight".
At present, she is still essentially a monkey-faced eagle, not "twilight" as she claims. Although there is a copy that is used to fuse with Naraku-7 and descend in front of him. But it's like a "monkey-faced eagle program...... Or rather, the marionette in the hands of the "monkey-faced eagle virus".
The essence of this spreading virus is still just a monkey-faced eagle.
True twilight did not hatch. Now it's just an egg that hasn't even formed an embryo.
By the time she really made up her mind and took the final step – splitting herself into countless parts and implanting them in the brains of every person in the world.
The obedient, the resistant, the perceived, the unaware...... Many mixed and entangled spirits are entangled and gathered in an instant, how much can the part of the personality belonging to the "monkey-faced eagle" be left under the washout?
At that point, her raison d'être will be nothing more than a conduit—a tool used to connect the consciousness of humanity around the world. The "Pure Monkey-faced Eagle" stored in the network has no control over the whole situation.
All human wills, consciousnesses, and subconscious minds will be completely condensed by her, becoming a distorted and invisible aggregate.
- Become the so-called "god of the group".
The path she pursues will inevitably usher in the precipice of "losing herself" at the end. If you don't take the last step, everything will be wasted; But if she takes this step, everything she has so far will be destroyed by her own hands.
"You're not an egg of twilight at all......"
Russell sighed softly, "You are nothing more than the eggshell that gives birth to a new life. ”
"If that's my fate, I'll accept it."
The girl replied calmly.
She could perceive that Russell had read her essence.
She is also vaguely aware of what her future holds.
"At the end of the day, if the so-called 'twilight' is really the embodiment of the end of the world. Then it is impossible for it to have a real personality. A person's time is short and limited, and the world he comes into contact with is only a fragment of human society. And human civilization is so small compared to this world. The 'personality' that can be used to carry human reason is such a small container in the twilight of the end of the world. ”
The girl stared at Russell as if she were looking at the moon at night.
There was a certain realization in her words: "If that time really comes...... I'm not going to run away.
"The world is filthy and decaying. Indeed, the time has come to be destroyed.
"I think you should know that - the world's resources are running out."
Hearing this, Russell's eyes widened suddenly.
She looked at Russell in disbelief, hoping that he would yell at the other party.
But Russell just didn't say a word, and continued to look at the girl.
Looking at her reaction, the girl in the wheelchair couldn't help but laugh, she clapped her hands and let out a crisp laugh: "Look at her, look at her!" How astonished she was, and what fear in her eyes.
"Just like her reaction, others will only react more than hers. Once this news is announced or leaked, it will inevitably cause an unprecedented panic that will sweep the world...... This will be the largest and final war in human history. Not to fight for anything, but to consume the lives of the 'outcasts'.
"The last war has completely destroyed the land. How many of the seven empty islands we can use will be left after the war? In any case, it is impossible for humans to allow non-renewable resources to reappear. Even if the number of human beings is reduced to one-seventh, one-twentieth, one-hundredth...... It will also come to an irreversible end.
"It's like a man who has been declared by a doctor to have an incurable disease and will die a slow death in pain and exhaustion. In that case, it is better to let it die a happy death—to give me its incorruptible entrails. In this way, its death can be turned into nourishment for my new life. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yi frowned in disgust.
She took a breath and held it in her mouth, but she couldn't spit it out.
She seemed to want to refute the other party, but for a while she couldn't think of what to say.
And Russell just closed his eyes and whispered:
“…… What arrogance. ”
"Why," the girl asked rhetorically, "did I say something wrong?"
"From a rational point of view, since the end of the world is irreversible, why can't it be used to provide for you and me?"
…… It was the mentor who hurt her.
The moment he heard this, Russell suddenly realized this.
The "mystery of the end of the world" that the Mentor said to the monkey-faced eagle actually destroyed his sanity and personality.
It is indeed knowledge that mortals cannot understand and bear......
When he learns that he has the "possibility of twilight" and is the "embodiment of the end of the world", the monkey-faced eagle is already enchanted.
Since then, the monkey-faced eagle no longer sees other humans as its own kindred, but sees itself as a higher level than humans, or even higher than human civilization.
Perhaps it is because of this that he has the determination and perseverance to give up his body, because he knows that he will have a "future that will lead the end of the world" and will not die here. That's why he used himself as the only and the first experimental object to introduce his consciousness into the online world without conducting experiments at all......
While this sounds very decisive, courageous, and crisp, it's something that no mature scientist would do. Because this is not in line with the scientific attitude that a researcher should have...... Conjectures without proven theories, without experiments, are just falsehoods. But he ignored it, consciously or unconsciously, because he didn't think he would die there. This is not like a scientist with a scientific education and rich research experience, but more like a self-taught private inventor.
Because of this, he created a copy of himself to infiltrate Naraku-7's mind and turn the data stored in his consciousness into a virus that he consciously dispersed to others. In order to spread himself, he even did not hesitate to use Naraku-7's body as a consumable tool, bewitching innocent synths and making them into their own marionettes. Because he subconsciously did not regard those people as his own kind, nor did he feel guilty about polluting the minds of others.
When he does this, he is indeed no longer human.
Russell suddenly thought of a paradox about prophecy -
It's like the story of Harry Potter and Voldemort that he had read before.
Voldemort knew that someone who could defeat him was about to be born, so he prepared to deal with the other party in advance. But this confirmed the next sentence of the prophecy, making Harry Potter "the fierce rival of Voldemort's mark, and will have powers that the Dark Lord does not know". And this "unknown power" was born precisely because of his attack.
Those who heard the prophecy tried to interfere with the prophecy, but instead it hit the nail on the head and fulfilled it.
It was precisely because the monkey-faced eagle believed in the existence of "Dusk" at that time and heard the prophecy about "Dusk" that it really became the egg of Dusk in the end.
If he hadn't heard that prophecy at the time...... What will happen now?
