"Your idea seems naïve.

Destruction itself is the result of established existence, and all I have done is to prevent it from coming.

The core of destruction you speak of is the ancient ruin itself, and you can't take it with you, you can only watch it disappear into the depths of the earth.

If you're guessing correctly, you're just trying to find a way out between the two.

I can tell you very clearly that this passage exists, and it's easy for you to leave. ”

It was Aaron who spoke, and there was no emotion in his desolate timbre, which seemed to represent an absolute rationality.

Just like when he faced Gogol in the Temple of Souls, he made a very abrupt proposal to leave, as if it was an expansion of a chess game.

Is it really going to be used as a pawn by the management core to fight against the illusion core?

Until this speculation came true, Bai Ning was really a little curious, just by virtue of his own person, how could he compete with a virtualized AI-like existence?

Or, things are actually far from being as miserable as Bai Ning expected, the black pillar that the illusion core is currently pinning on is very fragile, as long as Bai Ning destroys it, then the management core can usher in the final victory.

"The Illusion Core suddenly offered to get me out of here, but I ended up being a pawn in it, waking you up from your slumber.

It's a fundamental exploitation of human nature.

Now, you have killed Jiang Yingxue and Ah Long, and I am afraid that others outside the Gene Temple will not be spared, and now I am the only one left.

Through the fear in my heart, are you going to drive me to fight against the core of the illusion again?

However, am I qualified to fight against a formidable being like the Illusion Core?

Is it just my fragile body? ”

Bai Ning spoke very bluntly about the thoughts in his heart, and it seemed that he didn't want to give any face to the management core at all.

This kind of speech, which seemed to have insight into everything, did not cause any feedback from the two images opposite, as if he had no feeling for Bai Ning's temptation.

"There is no point in self-righteous temptation.

You are indeed a weak pawn, and any drive can make you an insignificant cannon fodder.

But it turns out that you are often able to achieve unexpected goals through your own efforts, and perhaps this is the fundamental reason why you are strong as human beings.

You come here to know something, you want to dig into some mystery, you want to get out of it, that's really what you want.

But, on the eve of imminent destruction, all desires have become meaningless. ”

"Destruction is transparent, unstoppable, at the moment when I reawaken.

But your departure has rendered destruction meaningless.

Because, you can remember, you can pass on, and you can create miracles for the future. ”

After Ah Long finished speaking, Jiang Yingxue continued to add a few words, and on the whole, it seemed that Bai Ning, an outsider, was not only the guide of destruction, but also another hope of rebirth.

"You and the Illusion Core seem to be connected in some way, is this the essential connection between the Soul Temple and the Gene Temple?

Why, who do you want to put your trust on to get out of here? ”

Hearing this, Bai Ning suddenly felt that Jiang Yingxue and Ah Long, who had died, might not be dead, but in a state of suspended animation.

This is an outward appearance that the management core is trying to take over their bodies.

This is also an extremely dangerous phenomenon, being inhabited by the management core, so at this time, Jiang Yingxue or Ah Long, are they still the same people?

Just like Gogol, who is imprisoned in a black column, he is neither human nor ghostly, even if he appears hysterically, he can only make some destructive attempts that will end in the same end.

This lack of autonomy has lost the meaning of independent existence, and is no different from a slave.

"There are many ways to destroy this place, why did the illusion core you mentioned end up just using Gogol's body to get here, instead of pulling up a team to attack here like you?!

If it doesn't know the power of the collective, why would it take the trouble to use everything it can to use against me? ”

For the question raised by Bai Ning, the management core only responded indirectly.

This seems to indicate that it is not easy to find a body and soul that can live in an AI like them, and even if they can forcibly live in it, they may soon cause the subject to die.

The main reason for this is likely to be related to the energy consumption of the body and the damage to the soul.

Thinking about it in another direction, if an AI-like existence like the management core can survive indefinitely through the human body, then isn't this creating a god?!

Perhaps, it is precisely because this question involves the creation of gods that the core of management responds so vaguely.

Just like the original illusion core, there is also a certain amount of questioning authority in the management core, and many things are not something that an existence like Bai Ning can understand.

"You say I'm the inheritor, so give me what you can pass on."

Since the management core can't leave, and it is said that Bai Ning is the inheritor, there must be something to be taken out, and Bai Ning's purpose for coming here is also this.

As soon as Bai Ning's words fell, a familiar white light suddenly shrouded Bai Ning's body, and while his body was scorching, Bai Ning also felt a sudden pain in his eyebrows, followed by a strange itch.

With a hand, it was a soybean-sized particle, which was a little elastic when pinched, and then turned into powder and disappeared.

This kind of thing may be the mark that the Illusion Core has made on him.

Then, a small silver-white box popped out of the white column, like a complete metal bar, and it was slightly sunken to the inside, and I didn't know what it contained.

Whether it is the various research results of this ancient ruin, or the important historical data of the people in it, or whether it is just a backup of the central core of the management core, it is not known, it is only a purely subjective personal speculation.

"What is this, and what is the use of it for me?"

With excitement in his heart, Bai Ning still asked this question.

Not to get any answers, just to get a peace of mind.

"When you leave, you can open it, that's the ultimate here."

The management core responded vaguely again, prompting that it could only be opened after leaving, which seemed to be a test for Bai Ning.

Or, in itself, it represents some kind of ultimate dispute, some ultimate secret that cannot be taken out of this place.

If the Illusion Core knew this secret, perhaps it would be able to delay the progress of destruction here until the secret in Bai Ning's hands was completely annihilated.

If you interpret it from this aspect, this may be a trick set up by the management core to delay the destruction here.

Now, Bai Ning has become a chess piece in the hands of the management core.

Whether or not he can get out of here alive is Bai Ning's creation, and it is also the last big gamble of the management core.

Without asking anything further, Bai Ning put the metal box in his zippered pocket, then turned to leave.

Like the gradual return of something, gradually moving away from the white column, Bai Ning's mind gradually became drowsy, until a certain moment, as if he suddenly woke up, all the senses returned again, and his thinking was even clearer than ever.

Looking back, he glanced at the white column behind him, which was still ordinary, and there was no change.

Except for a silver-white metal box in Bai Ning's pocket, everything else has never changed.

paid a lot of life and successfully obtained a breath in the game between the two parties, which may be evaluated as difficult, but Bai Ning still has a trace of melancholy in his heart that is difficult to contain.

Is it because of Jiang Yingxue's death?

Subconsciously glanced at the two inanimate bodies placed at the entrance of the temple, but only the intricate and exquisite decorations in the temple came into view.

Such a gorgeous place is enough to be used as a funeral gift for Jiang Yingxue and others.

Stepping away, passing by the countless dried corpses here, the seemingly insensible mood fluctuations in Bai Ning's heart finally bred a little unwillingness.

Although he is gambling as much as he can, his survival is more like a cheap handout.

Perhaps, whether it is in front of the illusion core or in front of the management core, humans like them, these genetically modified products are just some insignificant ants.

There is no difference from all the dried animal carcasses shown here.

Just like the tragic battle that happened in the temple square, all the genetic creatures were wiped out, and what they did was only to create an opportunity for Bai Ning to awaken the core of management.

In front of them, everything can be easily taken away, and all the living beings that exist here are nothing but dust.

On the subjective level, Bai Ning obtained a secret treasure here through his own efforts.

But who knows what exactly is in the silver white metal box.

Perhaps, there was nothing in it, just an empty box, a symbolic order from the management core to Bai Ning.

It is humiliation, it is slavery, it is obedience, it is drive, it is calculation.

It is precisely because the management core wants to use him Bai Ning that Bai Ning has the value of being used, and everything that is current has nothing to do with Bai Ning's existence itself.

So, why go out of your way to be an ant that obeys it?

What if this silver box is taken out?

What if this place is destroyed?

What is the meaning of a life like this?

Succumbing to the nature of destruction, and letting everything reach the final bloom in destruction, this may be the truest meaning of life!

Every time he took a step, Bai Ning's mind would set off a violent storm, and all kinds of wild thoughts that did not fit his own personality slapped into his heart like a storm.

Bai Ning knew that this was emotional interference, the emotional interference that he once regarded as a childish game, at this moment, seemed to have become more powerful than ever.

Is there really some ultimate secret in the silver and white metal box?

Or, this secret is what the core of the illusion is afraid of, which is why it attacks Bai Ning's inner peace so strongly.
