Chapter 470: The Great Flicker Faces a Choice
Morpheus couldn't figure out where this young man named David had the confidence to say this? Who is the other party?
After staring at it for a long time, Morpheus asked the classic question again: "Who are you?" ”
"David Glamorgan." David introduced himself again, and raised his hand for Morpheus to swallow back the question that was about to blurt out: "King of the Winter Kingdom, incarnation of Brennia, Lord of Light, founder of the multiverse righteous Avengers." ”
After a pause for a few seconds, David added: "There are other scattered titles that I won't mention." ”
“……”×2。
What kind of mess do Morpheus and Trinity have? This person can understand every word he says, but when put together, why is it so difficult to understand?
Could it be that the other party is speaking some kind of encrypted language?
Soon, he realized that he was thinking too much, and David's next explanation made him understand that the previous introduction was really literal, and there was no encrypted information.
"I'm from another world." David looked at Morpheus, who looked like various gods in the original plot, and was stunned by himself, feeling particularly interesting: "After learning about the situation in this world, I am going to save the human beings who are enslaved by machines in this world." ”
"Another world?"
"Yes, you've heard of the parallel universe theory, right?"
The parallel universe theory is not a rare thing, basically as long as it is not a world with an ancient background, it doesn't need to be explained too hard, most of the time it is understood by saying a 'parallel universe'.
"I live in another universe, a planet called Brennia."
Morpheus suddenly felt a headache, how could this be a parallel universe and aliens?
Moreover, if I am not mistaken, the place where they are talking at the moment is the virtual world created by the Machine Empire.
"Sorry to interrupt, how did you get into the Matrix?"
"It's not very difficult for me to hack into the virtual world created by the Machine Empire, and Brennia has much more advanced technical knowledge." In addition, there is the special talent of the Cybertrons, but this is something that David is not prepared to say for the time being.
"So, you invaded here from the real world? And make it impossible for the Machine Empire to detect your presence? You erased all traces of yourself? Morpheus's reaction was always fast, and he immediately thought of the key: "Your ontology is in the real world?" ”
"Yes." David looked at Morpheus: "You want to have a 'face-to-face' conversation with me?" ”
"Until then, I have a few questions."
"Please."
"Why save humanity?"
"Because I'm one of the founders of the Just Avengers."
"What do you mean?"
Just heard the title, it sounds like some kind of organization.
"It's an organization of superheroes in multiple worlds." David thought that the background of the matrix world was modern earth society, which undoubtedly provided him with convenience: "What is a superhero, I don't need to explain more, right?" ”
"To tell you the truth, what you're saying is hard to believe."
David spread his hands, a generation of god stick Morpheus was about to doubt life by what he said, and this trip was not in vain.
"And you never explained how you were going to defeat the Machine Empire."
"Oh, you're trying to ask about it!" David suddenly said: "The reason why I haven't mentioned this matter is very simple, for me, the elimination of the Machine Empire is a very simple matter, no matter from any level. ”
Although Morpheus was wearing sunglasses, he couldn't block David's sight, his pupils shrank sharply, and he was frightened by David's words: "You are not the only one who came to this world?" ”
He suspected that David had brought a large army with him, and if that was the case, he had to hurry back to Zion and tell the others the news.
If there are indeed armies from other worlds and other planets coming to Earth, it will not necessarily be a good thing for Zion and countless humans imprisoned in the Matrix.
When Morpheus begins to worry about the future of the planet, David sees through his worries.
"You're worried I'm actually here to take over Earth?"
“……”
Morpheus didn't speak, apparently acquiescing to the guess.
"In a way, that's not wrong." David wanted to explain, but he soon realized that he wanted the resources of this world, the population of this world, and in some ways he was indeed here to occupy the earth.
So he simply admitted it.
"But it's better to be ruled by my Winter Kingdom than to be trapped in a virtual world like a crop by a Machine Empire, right? Don't you think so? ”
"I don't know." Morpheus looked at David in front of him, as if he wanted to guess more information through David's change in demeanor: "Because I haven't seen what the Winter Kingdom looks like." ”
"It's easy, I can show you around."
Morpheus was stunned, he did think about this possibility, but he didn't expect David to say it so easily.
"Still have questions?"
"What if ......" Morpheus looked around, "I mean, if the Machine Empire was defeated by you, then how would you arrange these humans in the Matrix World?" ”
"I will continue to maintain the existence of the Matrix World and give everyone a chance to choose."
According to David's plan, he will give the humans of this world the freedom to choose whether to continue living in the virtual world or to live in the real world.
This decision is not immutable, that is, people who originally decided to continue living in the virtual world can change their minds and return to reality at any time.
Similarly, people who have chosen the real world can also return to the virtual world if they regret it.
It's just that David won't keep adding new people to the virtual world, so under normal circumstances, there will be fewer and fewer humans in the virtual world.
After briefly introducing his plan, David also emphasized that because the humans who broke away from the virtual world were too weak and needed a period of recovery, and Winterfell needed to make all kinds of preparations for receiving new residents, so the humans in the virtual world must be liberated in batches, and it is impossible to release everyone in one go.
Morpheus listened to David's arrangement and found that the other party was very thoughtful, at least for now, he didn't see anything missing.
Everyone has the right to choose!
The liberation in batches also takes into account the actual situation, and it is unrealistic to release all human beings at one time, not to mention that they cannot be taken care of, and there are not so many materials to feed so many people in the real world.
Then the only question is why Winterfell, or the Kingdom of Winter, is willing to save the humans of another world and another planet.
"If any country wants to develop rapidly, it cannot do without a sufficient population, and as a king, I certainly hope that the more people I can govern, the better."
This reason is unassailable, and anyone who knows a little bit of history can understand it.
But...... His Majesty doesn't want to bring Earthlings back to Winterfell as slaves, does he?
"Winterfell doesn't practice slavery."
Speaking of which, Morpheus found that most of his questions were answered definitively, even though many of the answers still sounded incredible.
As for the rest of the questions, there was only one thing he was more concerned about: "Why me?" ”
With Morpheus's cleverness and speed of reaction, he had already figured out a lot of things in the few questions he had just asked.
For example, David has the ability to destroy the Machine Empire at once, and can easily take over the entire Matrix and all the human beings trapped in the virtual world.
He wanted to accept these humans, and he didn't have to ask the opinions of people like Morpheus.
David found Trinity and talked so much to himself, of course, not asking for his own opinion, the other party was obviously here to solicit him.
If what David said earlier was not half false and exaggerated, Morpheus could even guess what David was looking for him to do: serve as the representative of the Winter Kingdom in this world, responsible for dealing with the things such as waking up the humans in the matrix in batches, helping them recover their health and adapt to the real world, and then send them to Winterfell in batches.
So the question is, why yourself?
"I'm sure you really want to save humanity."
To put it bluntly, it is to believe that the other party's character is trustworthy, and the major rights and wrongs are clear and the execution is full, as long as it proves that Winterfell can ensure the normal life of human beings, there is no need to worry about Morpheus's work efficiency, and the matter of population migration can be brought on the right track as soon as possible.
At this point, it can be regarded as the end of the matter.
In other words, the second round of conversation should take place in the real world, not in the matrix.
Trinity picked up the receiver and tested it, making sure the retreat line was still safe, and nodded to Morpheus, who was looking back at her.
It was only at this point that Morpheus let go of the last of his guard, got up and walked to the table, and when the phone rang and his hand had reached the receiver, he suddenly turned back to David and asked, "Who is the traitor?" ”
Since David can easily enter the matrix world and erase the traces of his existence as he pleases, then he can naturally view all the records in the matrix, and he must be clear who the traitor is.
"Seifer!"
Morpheus nodded, and finally said to David, "See you in the real world." After that, he picked up the earpiece and disappeared.
There was no appointment with David to meet at a time and place, and if David was really as good as he said, he could easily find his own boat.
After Morpheus left, Trinity followed, and both of them made it back to the Nebuchadnezzar.
Just as Morpheus pondered how to take down the traitor Seifer and how to tell the crew about it, the tank suddenly shouted a warning: "Something is approaching us, it's fast!" It's ......"
Knock~knock~
"Morpheus, open the door!"
