Chapter 168: He just wants to live
When the players heard this, they looked a little strange.
They are not fools.
Judging by the video, they immediately understood this so-called protagonist number 2 ... Looks like a fugitive!
In order to avoid the slaughter of humans in the parallel world.
Judging from Brother Banana's analysis, Protagonist 2 discovered Protagonist 1. But because the opponent has the ability to resurrect, he can't be killed at all.
That's why I want him to leave this world.
But in what way?
As a fellow scientist, you should know yourself best.
So...
Tell him directly what is happening in the parallel world, arouse his curiosity as a scientist, and let him go over voluntarily.
As long as the No. 1 protagonist passes, he can't come back that time, but he can't help it.
Maybe he'll be trapped in another parallel world, or he'll keep looping until he's completely lost.
But in short, the No. 1 protagonist is gone.
But...
What the No. 2 protagonist should not expect is that the No. 1 protagonist is not just the protagonist...
Behind him, there are players who control him!
Plus the aura of the protagonist...
These buffs are blessed, so I'll ask you how to fight the No. 2 protagonist!
If you dare to go against the protagonist in the game, you are asking for your own death.
So, in the video, Brother Banana spoke.
[Now, we know that Mane 2 explicitly states that Mane 1 goes to the parallel world to make him disappear, so is he a good person?] Also, what did he do before revealing the main character? How did he become a monster? ]
[Below, I'll take two screenshots to see the relationship between the two.] ]
As soon as the voice fell, two screenshots of the game popped up in the video.
On the left, there's a thick-ass monitor that's almost 13 inches, and a bunch of antique-grade external hardware.
On the right, there is a huge sentence monster with a computer head and a thin body.
The left is undoubtedly W-FBC-0079 'Old AI'.
The one on the right, as they already knew, is the boss form of protagonist 2.
Moreover, it is obvious in appearance.
That TV head of this huge sentence monster... It's exactly the same as the 13-inch thick butt monitor of the 0079 'old AI'!
Seeing this, players once again think of the 'super finishing' that Brother Banana said before.
So...
The one in front of you is the product of the 'super finishing' of the No. 2 protagonist and 0079 together!
At this time, Brother Banana spoke.
[The monster you see now is Mane 2.] The reason why he became like this was because of the combination with the 0079 anomaly. ]
[However, the 0079 anomaly on the side of protagonist 1 is still there.] So, with the 2nd protagonist, it's the 0079 anomaly in the parallel world. ]
[And the reason why he did it, you think, was to save his life?] Or is it to escape? ]
[Just ask, what normal person would run with brain cramps and abnormal super-finishing?] Or do it with a computer. ]
[We players are not counted, if you really want to count players in, let alone unusually super refined, I'm afraid that even more rebellious things will be done.] So players are excluded. ]
[So, why would a scientist turn himself into a monster?] That's how I understand it personally. ]
[First of all, Mane 2 has witnessed 4 extinctions of humanity.] Mind you, it's just the extinction of the human race, not the number of his deaths. Think about it, 4 times, 4 times are still alive to witness the end of the world, so how many times behind this is to die halfway? ]
[Think about it, the world's most powerful organization executed a human eradication program.] And you, because you have the resurrection ability to read files, what will become of you? ]
[You will die and rise again without end.] Die again, rise again. You will be resurrected from the dead countless times in this catastrophe. And you don't have any other abilities other than being able to read the file and resurrect it. Any single thing will make you die. There's nothing you can do in the face of the human purge of the Control Bureau. This leads to the desolate world after you witnessed 4 extinctions of humanity, and then death repeatedly. Can people remain normal in this passive experience of despair? ]
[So, he's crazy.] ]
[At this point, though, a 'voice' appeared to help him.] ]
What?
The players in front of the screen raised their eyebrows when they saw this.
Sound?
What's the sound?
The Control Bureau's methods of slaughtering humanity are brutal, using anomalies to kill people on a global scale.
What voice can help Mane 2 in the midst of this horrific anomaly?
Just when the players were curious, a game screen was released in the video.
It was a boss fight, a boss fight with the main character 2.
Just watch the protagonist in the game dodge the attack while listening to the boss's battle lines.
'Ahh Voice... I don't want to be hopeless here... It becomes painful... Please redirect me... Tell me... How to change...'
After that, the video clip, the picture jumps to the next paragraph.
At this time, the boss took some damage, and his body was covered with strange mold spots.
Apparently, Mane 2 is countered and speaks again.
'You can't understand... The pain I've suffered... You can't understand... The despair I've experienced... We are the same... Am I really your enemy...'
The video was edited again and came to the next line.
At this time, the boss is already scarred.
In his mouth, he once again uttered the incomprehensible Riddler lines.
'Voice... I just want to survive... I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past... Have you given up on me... Why don't you guide me...'
The video is cut again, and the screen comes to a new boss battle, which is obviously reopened.
The players in front of the screen can see clearly, the No. 1 protagonist, that is, Brother Banana. Pulled out a handful of shredded nails from a jar and threw it into the control room, then closed the door with his backhand.
Then, the boss struggled and roared wildly in the control room, his voice full of unwillingness.
At this time, he said another line, a final line.
[I'm just trying to live... I'm not your enemy...]
Seeing this, the players were a little confused.
The lines of these boss battles made them a little foggy, and they really didn't understand what they were talking about.
But soon, Brother Banana answered.
[Please ignore the pull operation, don't be in a hurry to ask about that nail can, I'll talk about it later.] ]
[From these paragraphs, it can be seen that the reason why the second protagonist came to the parallel world is probably not because he thought of it, but because there is a voice guiding him.] ]
[Through the protagonist's lines, protagonist 2 should not know what the owner of the voice looks like, and may not even have seen 'it']
[Judging from the video of the battle, Mane 2 is calling for a voice, indicating that this voice belongs to that kind of accompanying thing.] ]
[Then, a disembodied voice, capable of speaking, guiding, and always accompaniing, plus from a parallel world.] Can I understand that this voice is the 'Divine Seal'? ]
Wow –
The players in front of the screen suddenly cheered up.
Divine seal, again divine seal!
All the culprits in the parallel world are now related to the No. 2 protagonist.
What's next?
The Divine Seal can also make a sound when stepping on a horse!?
Players must not be curious, and Brother Banana continues to explain in the video.
[As I said earlier, the main character number 2 has a mental breakdown in the midst of countless deaths.] And the 'Divine Seal' itself exists in the consciousness of human beings. So, when the Control Bureau slaughtered humanity, did the 'Divine Seal' really just sit back and wait for human civilization to disappear in vain? ]
[I don't think so.] ]
[Judging by the 'voice' spoken by Mane 2, it's clear that the 'Divine Seal' is also doing something.] Because if even the second protagonist can hear the 'voice', can other people in the parallel world hear it too? ]
[Suppose that I am a helpless person who has gone through countless deaths.] In the midst of despair, a 'voice' suddenly appeared to guide me, what kind of state of mind would it be? ]
[Also, as I said before, the No. 2 protagonist is a 'Unification Christian', and the 'Unification Church' is very likely to be related to the 'Divine Seal'.] If there was a relationship between the two, the devout Unification Church suddenly heard the voice of the 'Divine Seal', coupled with his mental problems and his own despair. ]
[With the blessing of these buffs, this 'voice' that sounded is probably a natural sound for the No. 2 protagonist, and it is the sound of hope!] ]
[Therefore, I suspect that going to other worlds should be the instigation of the 'Divine Seal'.] The purpose may be to find a way to stop the Control Bureau from slaughtering humans. ]
[Doesn't that sound ironic?] ]
[The Bureau of Control slaughtered humanity in order to save humanity.] The 'Divine Seal' prevents the slaughter, but it is for the sake of harming humanity. This contrast... Gee. The production team is a fucking talent! ]
When the players in front of the screen saw this, they immediately had another question.
One is an interstellar civilization and the other is a civilization from the 90s.
The technological gap between the two can no longer be described as a chasm.
It's a world of difference!
In that case, what is there in the world of Mane 1 that is needed by Mane 2?
Brother Banana did not give an explanation for this.
Let's just say that it's very likely to be an anomaly.
Specifically, there are no hints in the game, so he doesn't know either.
But soon, the conversation changed.
He continued to speak.
[Well, by guessing above.] Protagonist 2, a desperate and mentally troubled 'devout disciple', follows the instructions of the 'Voice of Hope' and travels to other worlds in search of something that can stop the slaughter. ]
[In order to be able to find it quickly, I guess it was also the instigation of this 'voice', and it was necessary for the second protagonist to be super-finished with 0079 'old AI'.] ]
[Then, it became removable... Computer Monster...]
[The rest is a matter of course.] ]
Brother Banana cleared his throat, groaned, and spoke.
[The following content is all based on speculation, do not go online, if you have other opinions, welcome to discuss by private message.] ]
[So first of all, when Mane 2 became a computer monster, he was lucky enough to come to the world of Mane 1.] Found this place extremely normal. ]
[When he goes from a person to a world of despair to a world of low technology but full of hope, do you think he will have no ideas?] If not, he probably wouldn't even believe it. ]
[After coming to this world, it may be a different place.] Mane 2 shouldn't be able to hear that 'voice'. This can be judged from the boss battle lines. ]
[Since he has become one with 0079, even if the 'voice' no longer appears, he is still searching for targets in the world's network.] ]
[He then discovered that his world of self had been demoted to a D-class.] And through a large number of experimental reports, it was found that he has an incredible sixth sense. ]
[Protagonist 2 naturally understands what this means, and through various indications on the document, it is shown that he in this world also has the ability to resurrect!] ]
[So, he's a very tricky being, and it's almost impossible to die.] ]
[At the same time, he also discovers Dr. Maynard's plan to destroy the site.] Who is Dr. Maynard? The lifelong enemy of the protagonist number 2! In the diary, it was Dr. Maynard from the parallel world who reported that Protagonist 2 was researching a prohibited item, but was killed by the Jedi counterattack by Protagonist 2 using his ability to read files. Since then, he has been able to see Maynard's hallucinations of death, so Mane 2 actually hates Dr. Maynard. ]
[At the same time, he hates the Bureau of Control even more.] Because it was they who made the main character 2 go through a death loop. ]
[So, he simply took the plan and helped Maynard realize the site destruction plan and give the Control Bureau a little color.] ]
[Remember the weird situation on the computer when Protagonist 1 first came to the 0079 control room?] ]
In the video, the game screen is shown again.
That's the interface for W-FBC-0079 'Old AI'.
In the 13-inch screen, a large amount of text content appeared in Meng, and it filled the entire screen at a very fast speed!
Above, three words are densely repeated.
'Free me, free me, free me, free me, free me, free me, free me, free me...'
And then, the content began to disappear one by one.
In the end, only 3 full-screen characters composed of countless 'release me' were left,
'Release-release-me-'
Some players who have played it suddenly understood what this means.
It turned out that this 0079 'old AI' at that time... It's rebelling against the control of the 2nd protagonist...
Many people wondered what this was all about.
It seems that the production team is hinting to the players that 0079 is controlled...
From this time on... Protagonist 2 officially begins to explicitly state that Protagonist 1 will go to a parallel world...
At this time, Brother Banana spoke.
[There may already be players who understand, yes.] Mane 2 takes control of 0079 'Old AI' in Mane 1's world. Through it, Dr. Maynard was communicated, asking him to come to the 0079 control room. ]
[At this point, Mane 2 has taken over Site-19's entire system.] Then, there was the 'control failure' that we see in the game. ]
[He kept all mechanical doors in control of anomalies from closing, creating an escape opportunity for all D-class personnel.] In order to create chaos, and to prevent the people of the control bureau from manually repairing the malfunction, he directly turned off the power of the entire facility! ]
[Then, send three serial numbers to the surveillance screen outside the door of the control room of 0173 'Statue'.] So that when we control the No. 1 protagonist, we see the clues of the No. 2 protagonist as soon as we go out. ]
[At this point, the game begins.] ]
[Also, there may have been some promise between Mane 2 and Dr. Maynard.] In short, when Dr. Maynard came to the 0079 control room again, the enemy met and became very angry, and the second protagonist directly killed him. ]
[That's why Dr. Maynard has the note 'It deceived me.' ]
[Therefore, the real black hand of 'control failure' is the protagonist number 2.] Maynard is just a superficial backbiter, although he does have this idea, but if Mane 2 does not control the site system, it is difficult for Maynard to do this large-scale anomalous escape alone, and the control of the D-class escape fails. ]
Seeing this, the players looked stunned.
Originally... The plot is like this...
In this way, if you don't fight the hidden boss, you will really think that the control of the game is invalid, and it was Dr. Maynard who did it...
Now that I understand the truth, I feel a little lighter.
It's as if an unknown puzzle has been solved.
The production team really knows how to play...
adds another layer of unexpected truth to the story...
It's as if they don't make the game's plot a little more complicated, and they're all uncomfortable...
But fortunately, the story is relatively complete.
The hidden truth has also been revealed.
Then I should talk about how the hidden boss should be triggered, right?
The players looked at the video, and inside, Banana spoke again.
[Actually, there is still a question that has not been answered.] ]
[Even if the ability of the No. 2 and No. 1 protagonists is the same, then no matter how many times they read each other, it will be a one-time pass for both parties.] ]
[Then why does Mane 2 know the number of deaths of Mane 1?] And why pick 1001 times, the number of times a player dies in the game for the first time? ]
[In the game, except for the player and the protagonist.] Everyone else just mistook the resurrection file reader for a super sixth sense. ]
[But there is only one person who stands out from the rest.] Several times in conversation with him, it felt like breaking the fourth wall. ]
[That's the weird cleaner in the game, Artie.] ]
