Chapter 704: Surprise Visit
Although I sympathize with them, I don't think it will be possible to take them away, even if I can cram tens of thousands of people into the space and get out?
Do you put it somewhere at random, or do you take it to build a camp?
If two Teds exist at the same time, will unforeseen changes occur?
The more worries I have, the more chaotic my heart becomes, especially when it comes to so many lives, I have no clue what to do after I save them, and if I don't save them, I will watch them all be destroyed.
There was once a movie line that I firmly remembered in my mind, but I don't remember the name of the movie anymore, but the line in it that 'it is not difficult to kill people, it is difficult to save people' left a deep impression on me.
If these tens of thousands of living people were alien monsters, shapeshifters, or some other creature, I wouldn't be so entangled.
The problem is that they are human beings, at least biologically, they are real human beings, and they have human memories and feelings.
If I give up on them and escape alone without trying, I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life.
Conscience... Why do people have a conscience?
When I was upset, I persuaded myself several times to be selfish, this is an era of the strong and the strong, I can live because I have the ability to live, so there is nothing to be ashamed of, I can't take care of everyone, after all, I am a mortal.
But every time I was almost convinced, my conscience would come out and warn me that I had not done my best to stand by and watch.
Annoyed to the extreme, I simply emptied my mind and left my brain blank, which was a kind of self-protection.
I concentrated on cultivating my spiritual power, and used it to infuse and promote the plants in my brain, and the plants that had already produced one fruit before, with my efforts, produced a second fruit.
On the day the third fruit was born, Ted of this world came to visit me again, and the apocalyptic illusion created by Aunt Peach was spotted on the second day of the night of the carnival, and Ted, who was in charge of the castle lord, sent someone to investigate the weather station.
He felt the need to tell me the truth, so he personally came to the door and told me that Aunt Tao had falsified the weather data, so that the weatherman thought that he had seen a natural disaster warning, and after reporting the news to the wolf, the weather station staff committed suicide in despair.
And despair is contagious, which is why the girl Ted sent saw the scene of collective suicide.
Fortunately, the people in the city were immersed in the joy of Ted's return that night, and the news did not leak, preventing more people from going to a dead end.
People didn't know that their city lord had organized this carnival with the mood of imminent destruction, and the turmoil set off by Aunt Peach quietly subsided in the dark.
Ted also said that Aunt Peach killed the wolf venom, most likely because the two disagreed, and he investigated it for me, and there are no other gamers in the city at the moment.
However, the men he sent out found several highly decomposed corpses in the sewers, all with game terminals.
There were also two bodies, a man and a woman, in a marijuana bag with no gaming terminals on them.
The few people with the terminal must be the players who were killed by Aunt Peach, and the two corpses packed together are nine times out of ten Aunt Peach and wolf venom in this world.
Ted re-became the lord of the Spatial Castle and took over the mess left behind by the wolf venom, and since the end of the day was too late, he had to work as usual.
After the last time we talked, he had realized that he and the survivors in the city were just props made by the Game Guild.
I think these days, he must be very sad in his heart, and the things he once believed in are suddenly overturned, and everyone will be depressed.
But today he came to the door alone, without an assistant or bodyguard, there must be something important to say, I actually appreciate him a lot, and he will not be affected by his negative emotions.
I'm the only one in Wolf Venom's mansion, and it's more convenient for us to talk alone, so Ted, no, I should call him Old Ted now, so I can tell the two of them apart.
Either way, they are two separate individuals who should be distinguished.
Ted in this world is obviously a lot more vicissitudes, although he is not very old, he looks old, so I decided to call him Old Ted.
When old Ted finished talking about what he had investigated, he changed his mind and said that he had come to ask me for help.
He said that the data forged by Aunt Tao was not all fabricated out of thin air, and the meteorologists at that time believed it because of the credibility of the data.
Old Ted said that those devastating disasters would actually come sooner or later, but later than the date forged by Aunt Peach.
Similarly, the survivors in the castle still have nowhere to run, so he wants me to help them.
I almost said about the space pendant, but Ted was a step ahead of me, and he hurriedly said, "This may not be difficult for you, the space castle can make space jumps, and we can jump from this time and space to other planes or planets." ”
I know that Spatial Castle can enter other dimensions, but Ted seems to mean 'travel'.
"There's such a method, didn't you say it earlier? But have you ever thought about it, which planet is the same as the earth, suitable for human habitation, if there is no goal, isn't it just a blind jump? When to jump? Is there enough energy? ”
Old Ted faced my series of questions, and pulled out a wry smile: "I've never used this function, it's just a black eye, how far it can jump and how long it can jump, I don't have any spectrum." ”
He sighed and said, "I tried it myself, but I couldn't start it, so I came to you for help, only by starting it first, can we know how to operate it, we can move in this space first, and test its jump distance and speed." ”
As soon as Old Ted said this, countless questions popped up in my heart, so I was silent for a few seconds, and waited to clear the thoughts in my mind before I spoke: "You didn't start it, you read the manual?" How else do you know how it works? You still need training to drive, not to mention a castle, which is much more than a car or a ship. ”
Old Ted immediately said: "You are an outsider, the person the chairman of the game association wants to woo, I think you must have an advantage that others do not have, anyway, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, it is better to give it a try." ”
This answer is too natural, and there is not even a necessary connection in the middle, no matter how unique I am, what does it have to do with the driving space castle?
Vampiric has nothing to do with driving, and if he's right, the only thing that has to do with driving a space castle is my psychic power.
But old Ted didn't know I had psychic abilities, and he didn't know that I had extraordinary resilience, so why was he so sure?
If he was right, I would have been willing to help them escape from this world, but his request was too self-talking, and it was confusing, so I became vigilant.
"Okay, I can try." I nodded cheerfully and asked him to lead me to the castle's 'wheelhouse'.
Old Ted took me back to the tower in the center of the city, and he said that the 'heart' of the castle was underneath it.
At the sight of the tower, I thought of old Ted's deep sleep, and I figured that his depression might have been artificial.
In order to achieve a realistic effect, the poison he reported was real, but the life-saving ring was not exchanged for points by him, it should have been given to him by the Game Association, and the experience of a failed marriage proposal was also fake.
Including himself, he also deliberately made it old, so he became so old.
To make a living person exactly like the original body, I naturally thought of cloning technology, but the technology of the game association is obviously more advanced, they can control the age of the clone, you know, gravity to prepare a game competition, it can't take years, so tens of thousands of people in this city, he copied it in a very short time, and the setting here is six or seven years after the game ends, then they will inevitably use some kind of technology to accelerate aging.
I was furious at the thought that they were just doing this for the sake of the game, and old Ted, not knowing what I was thinking, led me straight down to the basement of the tower, to a room that looked like a motor room.
I saw a cockpit inside, and it looked familiar, and I guess I couldn't ask Ted why, so I looked around the cockpit, but unfortunately I couldn't find any signs with words or symbols.
If the Space Castle could 'fly', it should always have some suggestive signs, right?
There are also fuel gauges in cars, more on airplanes, and a moving castle, and it's certainly not as easy to 'fly' as it is to ride a bicycle.
However, apart from the things that looked like motor boxes, there was only an enclosed cockpit left in the room.
"Who told you this thing could move?" The doubts in my heart are even heavier, and a few songs can conclude that there is something strange about this matter.
"I ......" Ted was speechless for a moment, his brow furrowed, apparently trying to find an answer in his memories.
"All I remember is that it moves, the details are blank, and I suddenly thought today that you might be able to activate it, and I was so excited that I didn't think about it. In retrospect, this idea is completely unfounded. ”
"Implant memories." I said as I withdrew my hand to touch the cockpit guard, it was better not to touch this thing.
The technology of gravitational attraction on their plane is unimaginable, so the focus of my thinking is not on whether they have this ability.
What I'm thinking about is their intention in implanting this memory with old Ted.
Assuming that the Space Castle can fly to other planes and planes, or even other planets in the universe, then there is hope for the tens of thousands of survivors in the city.
The fact that the Game Guild has created this real apocalyptic world, and that catastrophe is inevitable, is enough to show that they treat the people here as disposable items, so what's the point of giving props hope? Something completely unnecessary.
These replicants are not gamers, they don't have terminals, so whether they are determined or desperate and break down has nothing to do with the outcome of the game, and old Ted only has a 'it is' in his memory, and 'I don't know why', which is not at all what someone who really wants to save them would do.
