141: Breaking the game, the monarch killer Zhou Baiyu
The next few days were the days when the new world was founded.
In a sense, when Linxiang City and Hechuan City were both implemented "civilized suppression and isolation".
These two cities can be regarded as having entered a state of "doomsday".
The world is full of tragedy.
The world seems to have an invisible wall.
The two cities that have been forcibly locked down are like two forbidden places abandoned by humans.
The two cities were completely locked down, the network was cut off, and the signal was disconnected, as if returning to the Victorian era.
At this time, the outside world will call Linxiang City and Hechuan City - the area within the wall.
They boast of being outside the walls.
Under the high walls, people once again think they can rest easy. The area outside the walls began to study the recent situation.
The story of the end has made people panic.
Riots of all kinds are increasing.
Especially when the desire cooled down after all the atrocities that were being waged against the two cities...... When the goodness of the heart temporarily occupies the high ground again, all kinds of "truth, goodness and beauty" begin.
But it is clear to everyone -
Human rights, the law, have completely collapsed in their actions. At least there's no bragging in the world, is it?
The law does not blame the public, that righteous bullying, but the whole world participated, if you really want to sanction, who should start?
So let's choose to forget.
"Everyone no longer mentions the events of Linxiang City and Hechuan City, as if they didn't happen."
It became a tacit thing.
In the world outside the walls, everyone still talks about all kinds of things, and everyone has returned to the quiet and good times.
But some things, when they happen, just happen.
When everyone realizes how evil they can be, it is difficult to suppress that evil.
Outside the walls, crime is soaring.
And the world inside the walls...... It's peaceful.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Linxiang City.
The supplies of the two cities are soaring, and all the humanitarianism is being tested unimaginably.
Zhou Baiyu walked down the street and felt that everyone's faces were frightened.
Although they no longer have the ability to distinguish lies, there are still many "lies" in the outside world, which can make them feel extremely panicked.
But all this was basically solved in only half a day.
Ryan, one of only two people who can lie, establishes a new order.
He used lies to achieve supremacy.
It also uses the power obtained by lies to construct a new ...... Order.
In Times Square in Linxiang City, countless people are worshipping Lane.
This middle-aged drunk, who was not so long ago disheveled, now has a neat gentleman's beard, wears an expensive custom suit, wears monocles, and has a fat belly.
When supreme power comes, even a pig can instantly have the temperament of nobility.
Ryan is not a pig, he is a very capable person.
When Linxiang City and Hechuan City were abandoned, when there was no one to take care of these two cities anymore, he quickly managed the two cities in an orderly manner.
Through all the media channels available in the city, even manual shouting of the manifesto on the street is used.
In short, under the influence of Lane, soon all kinds of new laws and regulations, and order began to be established.
Ryan asked everyone in the family to return to their homes first, patiently waiting for the new work assignment.
At the same time, people were also arranged to count the material reserves of the two cities as soon as possible.
Everyone listens to him, and everyone starts cooperating almost exclusively in an ideal world.
No one will suspect that others are selfish, and no one will refuse the demands of others.
At Lane's request, humanity began to save itself.
Ryan is transformed into the new savior.
An ideal country is about to be born.
When the lie is completely stripped away, when everyone is sincere......
There was no crime, no deception, no exploitation, everything was in order, and a new world of equality could almost be said to have descended except for the only one who could lie.
The world beyond the walls is still cunning, ugly, and full of crime and punishment.
The world inside the walls is the complete opposite.
until the twenty-second day.
This is the last day that Zhou Baiyu can still resist lies and release lies.
But it was also on this day that two "emperors" who could lie met.
Times Square became the royal palace of Lane and a place of pilgrimage for all peoples.
Zhou Baiyu did not debunk Ryan's lies.
Because in the consciousness of these people, once a lie exists, it can fall into a situation of brain overload.
In the vast Times Square, there are at least tens of thousands of kneeling people.
Zhou Baiyu stood in the center of the square, extremely conspicuous.
He was about sixty meters away from Ryan, who was holding a PA and was giving a passionate speech not long ago.
He loved watching the crowd kneel and listen to the oracles.
But when he saw Zhou Baiyu, the only person standing, walking towards him, Ryan was not angry, but said very generously:
"I knew that there was another person in the city who was like me, who could enjoy the divine right."
"Welcome, another king of this world."
Ryan spread his arms.
He spoke Longxia unusually fluently, even more fluently than Constantine.
The crowd made way for Zhou Baiyu. They moved on their knees, as if the sea had been split in two by the command of the god of the sea.
Zhou Baiyu looked at this scene and was slightly moved.
In this group of people, there will even be many pioneers.
With the advent of the defensive mode, a large number of people have converged into Linxiang City, and it can basically be said that this defensive mode will wipe out the pioneers.
In the case of pollution, these pioneers even if they left Linxiang City because of conscription......
Basically, they are also sent to death.
It's hard to imagine how terrible it must be in the world of advance to be unable to lie and discern lies.
I have to say that the second round of defensive mode has forced the pioneers to a dead end.
It's like a frog in warm water, when you realize that the water temperature is no longer viable, it's too late.
However, if the Pioneers can survive this round, perhaps the defensive mode in the future will not be higher than this time.
In a sense, this time "we" played a yin game.
Zhou Baiyu abandoned distracting thoughts and looked at Ryan:
"You're waiting for me."
Of course, I don't know why you have never been inspired by sincerity. But yes, I'm happy to share the world with you. In such a world, we can rely on each other to defend ourselves against loneliness. β
Ryan smiled kindly.
At this moment, Zhou Baiyu is like a villain who is about to assassinate the king, and he is unmoved:
"I'm not interested in this kind of world. Your pollution is not effective for me, and today is your time of death. β
Ryan was unmoved, and even took the initiative to walk in front of Zhou Baiyu.
And the moment Ryan's footsteps left the podium in the square, the crowd began to disperse.
Everyone covers their ears, and although the movements are not neat, they also have a strong execution.
Zhou Baiyu couldn't imagine what kind of order Ryan had ordered.
"Excuse me, why did you kill me?" Ryan asked kindly.
Zhou Baiyu's answer is very simple:
"Lies are also an extremely important ability of human beings, and you have taken away what they should not have taken away from them, the ability they rely on to survive."
Ryan smiled and said:
"You're angry with my people, aren't you? Because you think I've deprived them of an ability. β
"That's great, I like heroes like you."
"But as you should be aware, I gave some orders. So please don't kill me, or ...... You may see one of the most ornate and large-scale funerals ever made. β
"Kill me though, digging up my Godhead brand can lift this pollution."
"But trust me, when you do...... There will be a lot of people you can't save. β
Although he guessed that Ryan faced himself so calmly and had a certain backhand, when he heard this scene, Zhou Baiyu still gritted his teeth and glared at him.
It was now clear to him that Ryan must have enacted a lie. Once something went wrong with him......
It is likely that these people who believe in Ryan as a god will also have problems.
He actually wanted to kill Ryan directly, but obviously, it would be expensive to do so now.
Ryan says:
"I don't know your name, so I'll call you a hero."
"Mr. Hero, do you think I'm hateful?"
Zhou Baiyu didn't answer this question, he just looked at Ryan coldly, unmoved.
Ryan says:
"Of course, I'm guilty, these days, I've used lies to live a nourishing life, which I didn't have before."
"I also spent a harmonious and beautiful night with a lady like a goddess that I never dared to imagine before."
"I also get the respect of a lot of people, relying on my lies. But who isn't? β
"Something that earns everyone's respect by sincerity is what we call a fairy tale."
"Business is about integrity, but the mall is cheating. None of the companies that really pay attention to integrity survived. β
"I'm a wicked man, Mr. Hero, maybe you'll think so."
Ryan even walked to Zhou Baiyu's side and helped Zhou Baiyu tidy up the corners of his clothes:
"A young and handsome body, piercing and exploratory eyes. Mr. Hero, you are a man of high moral character. β
Of course, Zhou Baiyu will not change his position because of a few words of praise.
"What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that these days, as a believer in the God of sincerity and virtue, I have prevented many crises."
Ryan's expression grew serious.
"Some lies are deadly, and if these lies are allowed to spread, they will even make these sincere children quickly extinct."
"These lies have basically been stopped by me. My ability can make them unaware of the existence of lies, but it can also make them instinctively ignore some lies. β
is also a corrupt species, and Linxiang City has not overridden Zhang Haoyun so far.
The same polluting species, Lane's diffusion ability is several times greater than that of other polluting species. Of course, this also has to do with the need for "sincerity" itself.
It's also about defensive mode. In a sense, Ryan, Zhang Haoyun, is the boss of the level.
Ryan's level of lies is naturally the highest.
"But I didn't filter out all the lies, Mr. Hero, and I did it so you could seeβ"
"The real wicked person is not me, but the one that is rooted in people's hearts - greed."
"And I, the savior of them!"
Ryan pointed casually:
"See the lady with the words "Slave" engraved on her face?"
"She has a beautiful face and a tattoo of a slave."
"See the kid next to her with the face scratched? His parents are obviously there, but in his reality...... His father had become an abuser who might have been as old as him. β
"There are countless people gathered here, all of whom have been deceived by those outside, some have lost their families, some have destroyed their bodies, some have lost their families, and some have ...... Turned into a fool! β
"The most evil thing is the group of people outside! The wicked people who have plundered us and want us back to the last civilization! β
"Because they're not sincere."
Lane's eyes looked directly at Zhou Baiyu:
"In the earliest days of this world, no one was superior, and lies were the real reason for the birth of classes, and all kinds of lies created all kinds of inequality."
"I'm just eliminating this inequality. When my children become sincere, do I pose any threat to the world? β
"Did I kill someone?"
"Did I set the fire?"
"Have I tried to destroy the world?"
Ryan's questioning voice raised slightly, and his eyes were full of anger:
"I didn't do that, and when sincerity came, the crime rate in Linxiang City dropped to the lowest level in history."
"All deception and deception are gone."
"But the reason why Linxiang City has become such a tragic situation is not because of me! Heroes, it's because of the crowd outside! They are the most evil. β
"Join forces with me!"
"I can guess that you're either a Pure Walker or a Precursor. These days, there are also a lot of people who are investigating me like you. β
Ryan smiled:
"But unfortunately, in the end, they were all sincerely inspired and given a new mission by me with the truth."
"Now they're all heroes who want to defend this world!"
"And you, the true hero, you will share this world with me."
"I need your extraordinary power, I need you to break down that wall."
When Zhou Baiyu heard this, his heart didn't have much turmoil. But he admits that it is indeed a great temptation, and he follows the words:
"And then?"
Seeing that the other party was interested, Ryan said even harder:
"All the tragedies you see here are because there are still lies in this world."
"All this is just the pain of the world becoming an ideal country. When my abilities cover the whole world......"
"When the world is no longer a liar, imagine it...... The whole world is like Linxiang City now, there is no crime, no deception, no oppression, no exploitation! β
Ryan shouted excitedly:
"Heroes! Isn't such a world bad! β
Zhou Baiyu suddenly thought that if he compromised here......
Maybe the whole story will end in the whole play, right? But would such a human world really exist?
When the Precursors have all lost the ability to discern lies, will they still be able to live in the Precursor world?
When there is no forerunner in the advance world, will there be only one "God of sincerity and virtue" in the real world?
I'm afraid not.
Demons, corrupt species, and polluted species may come in large numbers in the new version 1.01.
Zhou Baiyu smiled.
He had to admit that the world that Ryan had built might really be a new possibility.
Whether it's Ryan, or Mark the replicator who could have been the root of the second defensive mode.
Some of the ideas of these two men did not actually come from God.
Rather, it stems from a real society that is incomparably distorted and deformed, even if it does not need new gods.
In this world, there are many real sins that you don't even dare to write about.
Whether it's Mark or Ryan, they're all products of this new era.
"The world you describe is beautiful, but unfortunately, that world will not come. I hope that one day, in the process of continuous growth, human beings can truly be honest with each other, and still be willing to open their hearts to others even when there are lies......"
"But that's not the same as being forcibly deprived of the ability to lie and discern lies."
Ryan frowned:
"Aren't all the results the same?"
"It's different, because they've lost the vital ability to survive."
"Then it's up to gods like us to protect them, why not?"
Zhou Baiyu listened to Lane's words and found one thing, human self-aggrandizement, arrogance, and greed are more terrible than greed.
At this moment, Zhou Baiyu made a very important decision.
On his hand, at some point, there was an extra crimson crystal horn.
Ryan felt the killing intent, he suddenly panicked, in Ryan's opinion, this man should not dare to kill himself.
At this moment, countless people also took out some sharp weapons in their hands and aimed them at their temples.
Ryan says:
"They believe from the bottom of their hearts that once I die, the world will be destroyed, as long as they are willing to die with me...... Everyone will travel to a beautiful new world! β
"Mr. Hero, you are so righteous and awe-inspiring, you must not do something stupid, right?"
Ryan seems to have some confidence:
"By the way, my words are the truth for them, although you and I can both lie, but the level of lies is completely different."
"I can even block your lies, so don't try to defeat lies with lies! This is my home turf! β
A light gradually appeared in Ryan's eyes.
He saw Zhou Baiyu looking at the people around him, he couldn't see Zhou Baiyu's eyes, but presumably, this hero should be unbearable, right?
He smiled again, but the next second, the smile froze......
The crimson crystal horns have been stained with Ryan's blood. Zhou Baiyu turned around and met Ryan's surprised gaze head-on.
"I don't like the gods on high, especially when you caused all this and tried to wrap yourself as a savior, it's so ugly."
"You describe the outside as nasty, but so what? As long as someone provides the soil for evil, there will be someone who will do evil, hasn't it been the case since ancient times? β
"You try to make me disgusted with the evil of mankind, I do hate, you try to make me sympathize with the good of sincere people, I do sympathize."
"But you are the one who created such a conflict between good and evil."
The crimson crystal horns pierced Ryan's throat further, and blood flowed profusely.
At the same time, the huge Times Square was like a performance called death.
Countless people are moving towards a "new world".
Ryan couldn't imagine...... Is this man the devil? Does this person not care about the lives of tens of thousands of people at all?
This person doesn't hate the thugs out there? Not at all right for that new world...... Do you have anticipation?
When he was chosen as a fallen believer, he once heard a phrase from one of the officials of the Pantheon.
"In the game of the gods, they all choose some people with heroic temperament. Or the little people, they may choose the rich and capable business elite, but they will not choose the politicians who have long since lost a little enthusiasm. β
"Because those who play from the perspective of countries and countries, for ordinary people, they are gods in a certain sense."
"God is not merciful about the rise and fall of the human world, and even if a single command may cause hundreds of thousands of people to die, it can keep millions alive...... They will not hesitate to abandon the millions of people. β
"None of them are heroes, but they can easily do things that heroes can't."
Whether it is the forerunner or the pure walker, in fact, as described in this passage, there are no scheming human tops.
Whether it is a forerunner or a pure walker, most of them have an age limit.
This level of selection filters out most of the high-ranking and powerful people.
Even if there is occasionally such a talent as the world, his influence on the world is minimal.
Therefore, Ryan believes that the person in front of him is either a pure walker or a forerunner......
He didn't deserve to be so terrifying.
It shouldn't be the kind of person who can keep your eyes open...... Let tens of thousands of people follow the tyrant who accompanied the burial.
Zhou Baiyu is indeed very calm, at least in terms of facial expressions, he seems to have no sorrow or joy.
At the moment when the crystal horn penetrated Lane, when he saw the grand death like a group of flowers suddenly blooming, one by one, blooming scarlet......
He suddenly wondered, is there really a devil living in his bones?
Since when did you not hesitate at all in the face of such a choice?
Obviously, deep down, I was very afraid of this scene.
Obviously, not long ago, I was still working as a suicide crisis interventionist, thinking that I could save one person.
Memories emerged at this moment, and Zhou Baiyu was in a trance for a while.
After becoming a pioneer, his worldview suffered a huge shock.
Before entering the Advance World for the first time, Zhou Baiyu felt the fear that his life was about to pass.
After getting the memory of "Jiang Xianwu", he was afraid of the world where humans were like ants.
In the adventure since then, Zhou Baiyu has experienced many choices, most of which are thrilling, but they have made him see a lot of cruel truths.
In the choice after choice, he realized the "gods" hidden behind the scenes, only revealing the tip of the iceberg.
He also realized again and again that a casual update of "our" could kill many human beings in the world.
In these processes, Zhou Baiyu has actually been growing.
It wasn't until the moment he rang the bell that he finally recognized one thing clearly-
Life is about having many choices, and in the process of having them, you lose them at the same time.
The real hero should be the one who has abandoned life and death at the micro level and can make the right decisions from a macro perspective.
No longer emitting light in the dark night, such a choice may not bring any surprises, but at least it can keep the last hope in everyone's hearts, and then slowly move towards death and become a dark seed.
If you don't ring the bell in the sky, maybe the B-side people will always be miserable, but at least, there really is a happy place of indulgence in this world.
Many people actually know that some options are better in the long run, but who wants to carry the infamy on their backs?
Zhou Baiyu came back to his senses, and he made such a choice again.
The choice was so radical.
Ryan is dead. Ryan's death also caused a large number of deaths.
At this time, Times Square is like a purgatory on earth, and it is like a huge cult sacrifice site.
He looked around blankly, with a calm face under great grief.
In the end, his hands trembled without shaking, and he dug out Ryan's godhead brand with great skill.
This moment...... The world's biggest polluter is gone.
Those whose brains are overloaded and who have become stupid, suddenly regain their logic.
Those who were troubled by the truth and panicked suddenly stopped being frightened.
But soon, people recalled the experience, the exploitation of them by the outside world, the fraud......
The whole city has a huge anger.
Of course, there are also people who remember Ryan, the savior, and recall Ryan's words, and they soon find out that Ryan is the only person who can lie in this world within the walls.
Maybe it all happened to Ryan.
Some people scolded Ryan, while others hoped that Ryan could lead them to get back what they had lost.
But Ryan is dead.
The tens of thousands of corpses in Times Square are like withered petals, and only Zhou Baiyu is like an outsider standing on a withered flower.
More and more people flock to Times Square to get Ryan to give him an explanation, or to get Ryan back what they lost.
But in the end, these people just saw Zhou Baiyu in the center of the blood.
Zhou Baiyu looked at these people, still calm. It's not that he's become an insensitive thug, he just knows that it's not over yet.
In fact, he realized a terrible thing a few days ago.
Even if the source of pollution is purified and eradicated, the birth of this atrocity has completely made it impossible for mankind to return to the way it was before. Linxiang City and Hechuan City are ruined.
I'm afraid these people will never build trust with people outside again, right?
The reward for Defensive Mode is just a common item for all versions.
It's like the ending slogan of a famous gameβ
Congratulations on completing the game, but is it all worth it?
Zhou Baiyu looked at the crowd around him, which seemed to be about to engulf him, the sadness in his heart slowly disappeared, and the whole person was not only calm on his face, but also slowly became calm from the inside out.
How to get everything back on track, how to get Linxiang City and Hechuan City, and the whole world back to before trust atrocities and fraud and bullying.
Zhou Baiyu has actually found the answer.
The idea had already surfaced a few days ago.
A few days ago, Zhou Baiyu was worried about the atrocities of other cities and countries against Linxiang City...... It's too much.
A lot of things can't go back to square one.
But the word origin made him think of a feasible way.
"That's right! I can still do that! It's not over yet! There is still a chance to turn things around! β
This is another reason why he dared to make a choice.
Whether it is a murderer or a criminal who destroys the country of sincerity, Zhou Baiyu looked at the crowd densely surrounding the square, and his heart was not a little confused, but he was also very determined.
He stood alone in the square, and whispered to himself:
"What I see these days is basically ugliness and evil. When the soil of evil is built, the evil side of human nature is exposed. β
"I'm actually thinking that this isn't really an offensive from the new gods. They were asking me whether the people I was protecting were worth protecting. β
"I didn't get an answer. But I will do everything in my power to continue to bring the world back to its most normal side. β
Every person you save contains his good and evil, and how should good and evil be reconciled?
Killing Ryan at this time, in a sense, isn't it covering up the sin for the people outside the wall?
This is a question that Zhou Baiyu thought about when he was in the country of joy, and there is no answer so far.
It was also like a mockery from the gods to their forerunners.
But he believes that in the process of preventing the end from coming, he will definitely find the answer.
At least this time, Zhou Baiyu will return the taunts of the gods.
In the next second, Zhou Baiyu's figure disappeared.
(There's a new dungeon in the next chapter, well, but this time it's the kind of joyful dungeon that the protagonist appears to himself.) The kind with a very low difficulty. This kind of dungeon should continue to be added in the future, and it will not always be the kind of bloody battle dungeon that requires fighting and revealing hole cards, and there will also be some dungeons with supporting character difficulty. οΌ
