Chapter 228 Main Story Ending - Daoist
Finally, she stopped her perplexed steps at a water's edge.She knelt down to look at her reflection in the water.
The woman reflected in the water has a beautiful face that is envied by the world, and a pair of shallow eyes.
The wind blew, and the calm water surface was disturbed, causing ripples.The ripples spread out layer by layer, and the reflection in the water gradually began to blur.When the water calmed down again, the reflection changed slightly.
The face is still the same face, but it is painted with exquisite makeup, and there are peach blossoms on the brows. There is a smile between her brows and eyes, as bright as a spring day, and as gentle and moving as a breeze.
Ripples appeared again, and the reflection in the water was scattered again. When the water surface was calm again, the reflection changed again:
The person reflected in the water wears a gorgeous and delicate veil, and there are not many obvious expressions on her face. She looks indifferent, cold and holy, and there is a little compassion in her slightly drooping eyes.
…………
【I am you. 】
The woman with exquisite makeup smiled and said to her in the water.
[I am also you. 】
The woman with a cold and holy expression also said to her in the water.
[We are all you. 】
The reflection turned into countless people, and everyone was saying the same sentence to her:
【I am you. 】
The people by the water covered their ears in pain and jumped into the water to disturb the reflection, trying to stop the voices that kept echoing in her ears.But it was completely useless, these voices seemed to be ringing in her mind, unavoidable, and there was no way to isolate them.
【Ding----! 】
The long-lost system sound resounded in my mind, like a loud bell repelling all the noise, and like a flash of lightning cutting through the extremely dark sky.When the sound of the system appeared, all the noises in my mind dissipated, and the chaotic consciousness became clear again.
Qu Lingyin slowly put down her hands covering her ears in the river water, quietly watching the reflection of the morning sun on the river surface, the ripples of the water pattern scratched the image to pieces.She looked at the rising sun in the water with a mixed expression of joy and sadness, and suddenly raised her hand to cover her eyes with a tired look.
[System Warning: The database is chaotic!Database chaos!Database chaos! 】
[System warning: The host state is abnormal!The host state is abnormal!The host state is abnormal! 】
Both warnings were repeated three times, as if to emphasize its seriousness.Qu Lingyin rubbed her temples and didn't ignore the system's warning for the time being. Feeling her self-consciousness at this moment, she took a short rest.
After a moment of silence, Qu Lingyin spoke first:
"System, can you tell me?"
There was silence in my mind, without any sound.
Qu Lingyin smiled lightly, then sighed, and continued:
"I know you're here, you're always by my side."
"You are conscious."
"Let's talk, since I'm the thread in your hand, I should know something."
"Tell me all this!"
The last sentence "tell me" is almost crying with depression.
The morning breeze blew across the mountains, the leaves in the forest swayed slightly and made soft noises, and the birds or flying insects were silent at this moment.
There were slight ripples in the air.
In just a trance, she was drawn into a hallucinatory world.The world is white and nothing:
No people and no buildings, just a vast expanse of whiteness and chaos.Someone was walking towards her in the misty white mist, getting closer and closer. That person was wearing a purple dress, jingling silver ornaments, and a face so beautiful that it was almost illusory—this belonged to Qu Lingyin Face.
The person who came was Qu Lingyin's original appearance, whether it was the torn army uniform with five poisons, or those tinkling silver ornaments...these were all Qu Lingyin was most familiar with.
[Hello host. 】
Data streams occasionally flashed in her crystal blue eyes, and this was the first time she spoke.The sound of the system is still cold and electronically synthesized.There was no human emotion revealed, and there was no expression on her face.
However, this is also normal, because the system is not human after all, and naturally it cannot express human emotions.
But Qu Lingyin feels strangely that such a cold feeling is not its original intention, it just doesn't understand people.
"I appreciate you helping me stabilize who I am now, but those memories tell me something after all."
Qu Lingyin looked at the person in front of her who was exactly like her, and her expression was a little difficult to distinguish, like sadness, despair, or relief.Although I regained my self-awareness, the other conflicting memories did not disappear, they were just ignored.Those memories seem to be temporarily shelved in a certain warehouse, as long as you don't think about it deliberately, they will never appear again.
[Human beings have limited memory, and too many conflicting memories will lead to loss of self. 】
The person who has the same appearance as Qu Lingyin said so, and the faint streamer kept flashing across her eyes.
[It is recommended to clear the chaotic data that is not this time. 】
Too many irrelevant memories will overwrite the original memory. When a person's original memory is overwritten, is she still her?If it is covered by another complete memory, she will become the person who owns that memory.And if what covers her original memory is only a terrifyingly chaotic and disordered memory, then this person's self-awareness will be lost, she will not see herself and no longer know herself, and she will collapse.
Qu Lingyin knew the helplessness of losing her memory, and also understood the danger of these chaotic memories, and she couldn't bear the huge, complicated and deep emotions in those memories.But having been in touch with these memories made her see the things behind everything, and she wanted to see the truth.Now the truth is only a corner, if she loses these, she will have no chance to question all of them.A blind person suddenly has a moment of light. Even if looking directly at the sun is an extremely dangerous thing, he doesn't want to plunge himself into endless darkness.
[The host please decide as soon as possible. 】
Seeing that Qu Lingyin was silent, the existence of no human emotion spoke again.
"Decide?"
Qu Lingyin suddenly laughed sadly, she looked at the other party's eyes that had been twinkling with light:
"Can I decide for myself?"
You never gave me a choice.
The existence that can hear Qu Lingyin's heartbeat looks at her in confusion, it does not understand the complex emotions of human beings, but its strength comes from this, and it does not understand Qu Lingyin's questioning.
[I have not interfered with the host's choice. 】
[Adilan's first law: Evolution must be carried out under the condition of preserving the host. 】
Hearing its words, Qu Lingyin didn't feel very happy, but only slightly mocked:
"It's just to maintain the energy supply, needless to say. Your energy comes from the feelings of the people I touch. Love and hate are the strongest emotions. The so-called strategy mission is just to collect what you need It's just energy!"
What Qu Lingyin said was true, and the system couldn't refute it, but it always felt that it didn't mean what she understood.To them, the host is not something like a battery, but a guide for humanoid evolution.It's a pity that his evolution is too slow, because the energy obtained must first ensure the survival of the host, and the rest can continue to be used for evolution.The body used by Qu Lingyin is made of its energy, the items exchanged in the mall are made of its energy, and the rapid healing of the injured body consumes its energy.Every time she repairs her near-death damage to ensure her survival to the greatest extent, it consumes a lot of energy. In order to save energy, it has turned on the energy-saving mode, and the time it appears is getting less and less.It is an irreversible death, and it can only extract the only save point to save the host.
Its host can affect the emotional changes of many people, and generally speaking, the energy accumulation is quite fast.However, no matter how fast the accumulation is, it is a luxury to have a surplus under such a huge consumption.
Under such a slow surplus accumulation, the strategy system 031 finally evolved self-awareness when No.70 extracted the save point five times.
Seeing that the person in front of him who was exactly like him didn't answer.Qu Lingyin didn't say a word either. She looked at the blank face that looked exactly like hers, and suddenly felt a little repulsive.
It is like a mirror, clearly reflecting her sad and confused heart at the moment.So, she said:
"I don't want to see my face again."
The dazed crystal blue eyes looked at her, and the next moment the mist filled, and the person who appeared in front of Qu Lingyin again was wearing a Taoist robe of pure yang, with black hair tied up by a Taoist crown, he was extremely handsome. The expression on his face was indifferent, with a somewhat cold feeling.
Seeing the people whose system changed, Qu Lingyin only felt that her whole body froze, and she subconsciously put her hands on her heart—her heart was beating, slow but not calm.
【Does this look make you feel relaxed? 】
It is almost exactly the same as Ling Xuyang, except for the pair of crystal blue eyes that keep flashing across the streamer, and the eternal cold electronic synthesis sound.
【Your mood is very unstable. 】
"Change..."
Qu Lingyin said these words almost tremblingly:
"Change your appearance, don't be him."
The system numbered 031 couldn't understand her emotions. She was obviously relaxed when she saw this appearance, but why did she act so displeased?
Although it was incomprehensible, it changed the appearance of other people according to its words.Ye Chengfeng, Luo Shoucheng, Qin Zhengyu, Fang Shaohan, Tang Wuye, Zhu Chongxiao...everyone it met had changed.
However, facing these familiar faces, Qu Lingyin always had the same attitude:
"another."
In the end, the image of 031 was determined to be a boy whom Qu Lingyin had never seen before:
With a translucent body and snow-white semi-long hair, it looks like the face of a snow-field elf in a fairy tale.
[The host please decide as soon as possible. 】
It repeated the above words, and the cold electronic sound still seemed very indifferent.
"I choose to maintain the status quo."
Qu Lingyin looked at it, and her expression didn't change much.
【You will collapse. 】
The snowfield elf-like boy stated this fact to her without emotion.
Qu Lingyin didn't speak, she couldn't find a better way.Now she seems to be standing on the only rope on the cliff. She has just walked a few steps to the upper rope and will be able to reach the opposite bank in no time, but the people behind her tell her:
The rope is about to break. It's dangerous. Come back quickly.
But if she didn't go to the other side this time, she would have no chance to visit the other side.
How to choose?
Normal people would go back, but Qu Lingyin chose the seemingly unreasonable option.
She felt that she was very tired, which was a kind of tiredness that came from the soul.
Even if it collapses someday in the future, at least we must see the truth clearly.
【I understand. 】
The ice-cold voice of the snow-white boy sounded again:
[Adilan's Second Law: To protect oneself to the greatest extent. 】
[I cannot exist without you for the time being. 】
[I can't see you collapse. 】
[Please host to extract the save point. 】
Although those memories are broken and chaotic, too many repeated opening scenes can also make Qu Lingyin understand: she only has one save point, which is the time point she traveled through ten years ago.At the same time as extracting the archive, all previously archived memories will be restored.
That's why she has so many memories.
She has extracted save points more than once.
"I reject."
[Please host to extract the save point. 】
The electronic sound is still repeating without giving up.
"I reject."
[Please host to extract the save point. 】
"I reject."
…………
After countless repetitions, the boy who seemed to have turned into snow changed his words:
【You have regrets. 】
It is precisely because I have regrets in my heart that I choose to go back to the past again and again.
Because every time I die, there will always be a thought circling in my mind:
If only I could do it all over again.
If I do it all over again, I won't be in such a... embarrassment.
It is closest to her, and it knows her thoughts.So every time at the end, it faithfully implements the expectations of the host—starting all over again.
"But regret is irreparable, it will only make up more and more."
Qu Lingyin tried her best to suppress the despair and gray mood that spread upward from the bottom of her heart.
"Tell me, how many times have I reverted?"
How many times have I lived through these ridiculous fates?
[This is your No.70 six retracements. 】
The translucent teenager looked at her without any concealment.
The author has something to say:
In fact, Mr. System has broken his heart, the host is a big energy consumer.
#The host is always dying, what can I do, I am also desperate#
Every time Qulingyin is repaired, it will turn on the energy-saving mode.
In the end, Ayin's healing ability was greatly weakened because the system stopped working. It felt that the host was probably dying again, so it worked hard to save some energy and planned to use it back.
ps: 4000 characters is enough.
I hope that after reading this one, everyone can understand what happened in the previous ones.
