Chapter 460: I'm Sorry, I'm a Bad Person
God, dissipated.
With the annihilation of the remaining consciousness, the Colossus also burned and shattered due to procedural errors and overload, and the barrier that maintained the Black Pyramid was no longer effective, and passers-by were surprised to find strange structures suddenly appearing in the clearing.
Song Lan, who was standing in front of the throne, listened to the muffled sound of the heavy object falling to the ground, and looked at the colossus's eyes that lost their light, and he guessed that the brain placed somewhere in this body had stopped functioning.
And he, as a villain who defeated the Patron Saint, stood in this temple built by condensing countless spiritual ability researchers, and witnessed the whole process of the Patronus God crumbling and shattering.
There was no joy of victory in his heart.
Just now, he witnessed the whole process of the "Artificial God" project, and he was more impressed than the sophisticated technology that he could not understand as a layman, and he was more impressed by the amazing brainwashing technology of the researchers of the coalition government, who did not take the traditional religious sense, but found a scientific path.
By instilling a large amount of information and memories into the brain, supplemented by strong psychological cues, a conscious body can be dehumanized and become their predetermined deity.
Perhaps this was the most difficult step in the whole plan.
Until the end, the Colossus was firmly carrying out the mission given to him by the researchers, and it no longer mattered to him who Ambleville was and why he had awakened in such a way.
Ambville's consciousness transcends the shackles of human beings, but rather than a god, Song Lan feels that he is more like a program with powerful abilities and computing power, and almost all of Professor Myers's lectures are perfectly embodied in the colossus, even if the professor finally dies in the hands of the program he created, it will not affect the program to continue to run autonomously.
As for the "shadows" and "demons" mentioned by Professor Myers in the memory fragments, they are indeed real.
They were not the product of some kind of imagination, because when the Colossus collapsed, the "shadow" hanging above their heads expressed sincere gratitude to him, and said something of unknown meaning to him.
"You've finally come to save us!"
"I knew you wouldn't abandon us!"
Then they dissolved into ink, broke through the cage, merged into the darkness, and quickly dissipated between heaven and earth.
For the coalition government, the villains have won a great victory, and not only have the Patronus been defeated, but the evil things it guards have also been unleashed.
Song Lan, as the culprit, has become the focus of the monsters' gangs.
It also made him wonder "Who are you?" It quickly became, "Who the hell am I?" βγ
The shadows, though treated him with respect, ran so fast that they disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving him without a chance to ask someone for clarification.
Song Lan can only analyze according to the available information.
The consciousness in the colossus didn't recognize him, but they recognized his psionic form at a glance, and those monsters seemed to regard him as the leader, and when Song Lan had to re-examine the memories left in his body, he felt more and more that those memories were not reliable at all.
In his original memory, he had never left District 17 at all, let alone become acquainted with these shadowy monsters.
And after getting used to the big scenes, he knew that in 2166, it was too easy to change a person's memory, and psionic energy and science could easily do it, and Song Lan became more and more suspicious that he might have never lived in a welfare home in the seventeenth district.
Ironically, he finds the true identity of the Colossus in his shattered memories, but all the truth turns his own past into a new mystery.
However, this may explain the origin of his psionic powers.
A person who grew up peacefully in the welfare home of the 17th district will never suddenly become a villain.
The crowd on the periphery of the pyramid grew, and Song Lan left the scene of the crime before the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau arrived.
The puppets who have broken free from the thread of fate are still struggling in the cruel reality.
AngrΓ© Safron embarks on a fugitive.
Hannah is waiting for parts of her new body to be brought to the hospital.
And in a dormitory at Daystar Academy, Lu Xiang was waiting for him to come back.
"It's over?"
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Lu Xiang, who was sitting on the bed, asked.
She saw the breaking news that some students had discovered an alien ruin in a clearing somewhere near Hamil Street, with structures and facilities that looked far beyond their current level of technology, and they had also found a broken colossus, a scientific artifact they could not have imagined.
This became another strong proof that aliens existed, and quickly sparked a heated discussion in the student forum.
"I don't know."
This time, Song Lan gave her an uncertain answer.
She watched as Song Lan took off her heavy trench coat, took off her mask, put all the disguise props together, and turned them into powder with her psionic energy.
Lu Xiang's concerned eyes calmed Song Lan's mood a lot.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered a line of large characters posted by the law enforcement department of the 17th district: "Be lenient in confession, strict in resistance."
To this day, these eight words are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Director."
He sat down beside Lu Xiang solemnly, what he said next was extremely important to both him and Lu Xiang, and he planned to adopt a frank and lenient attitude, "What I am going to say next is very important, you must not be afraid." β
"Scared?"
Lu Xiang was very confused.
"Actually, I'm probably not a good person."
Not only was he unsure of the truth of his past, nor did he know what the shadows that had broken through the cage were, and he could only deduce from the tone in which Professor Myers mentioned them that they were probably not good people in the eyes of the coalition government.
Song Lan didn't know if the words "I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person" had any effect in 2166, and I didn't know if Sheriff Lu Xiang would give him this opportunity.
Lu Xiang didn't reply immediately, just kept staring at him, and Song Lan could see that her confusion seemed to be deeper.
In order to make sure that the next conversation between himself and Song Lan was not ambiguous, Lu Xiang had to confirm, "What are you referring to?" β
This time it was Song Lan's turn to be confused, "What do you mean?" β
Lu Xiang thought for a moment and added, "Are you referring to daily life, or when you killed Chai Ke, Anjie Foster, Dolago Saffron, Arabic Bone, Su Li, Father Bruno, and others?" Or maybe it is to trap Perrault, a public official of the coalition government, and to research dangerous weapons in the territory of the 17th arrondissement......"
Faced with an accusation that would have shot any coalition government citizen 100 times, Song Lan admitted that Lu Xiang's rhetorical question did hit the soul.
But the focus of this conversation is clearly not here.
"I'm talking about things that went back even earlier, before I became an enforcer."
"Who else did you kill?"
Lu Xiang looked at Song Lan with a calm expression.
"I don't know, I don't think people's memories can be trusted."
"You mean there's no evidence."
ββ¦β¦ It can also be understood in this way. β
Lu Xiang's comprehension ability is always so outstanding, and being interrupted by her like this, the atmosphere of the conversation is much more relaxed.
"I see."
Hearing this, Lu Xiang nodded solemnly, "Then I'll help you find it." β
"Huh?"
"As long as it really exists, there will always be a day when it will be found...... But you're dangerous now, and I'll have to watch you even more in the future. β
The Sixty-Six of the Small Theatre:
Friday, afternoon, month, year.
In the afternoon, an emergency meeting of the Council was held.
They finally realized the danger of the saltfish virus - an intelligence officer found a work report on Lu Xiang's desktop called "The Origin and Harm of the Salted Fish Virus".
When the intelligence officer opened the work report with curiosity, a wave of fear welled up in her heart.
The report was created three days ago, and only a single line remains.
It is not difficult to see that Lu Xiang seems to want to trace back to the source of this virus and cite history to explain the horror of this virus, but there seems to be some irresistible changes in the middle, so that Lu Xiang had to stop halfway, and he did not leave any information until three days later.
Minister Lu, who has always been meticulous in his work, actually put down the work at hand for three days?
"Where did Lu Xiang go?"
The commentator also realized the seriousness of the problem and asked.
"Minister Lu has gone out on field duty and has not returned yet."
"Field service? I don't remember assigning a field assignment to your department. β
"Before Minister Lu left, he left a message at the field registration office."
"What's the message?"
"The minister said that she is investigating the movements of the dark cuisine world, so let's not read it."
