Eternal Night

Chapter 657 The Audience and Wan Fang

Wu Pifu truly believes he made the right choice by taking down Louis XVI.

Who can bear this?

Chu Minghao is actually the clone of the Producer?
Isn't this just too ridiculous?
But it was fine before it was revealed, but once it was revealed, Wu Pifu could only remain silent.

If Chu Minghao is truly an alter ego of the End Producer, then many things become logically explainable, including why Chu Minghao would willingly die at Liang Min's hands, and why he was so easily deceived by the End Producer, etc.

"Does the ultimate producer possess multiple superbrains?"

Wu Pifu immediately asked Zhi, "I don't know about other things, but how could a Perfect Producer possess two special super-brain attributes at the same time? Is Chu Minghao a clone of a Perfect Producer... or was he just corrupted by a Perfect Producer?"

Zhi chuckled and spread his hands, saying, "I don't know about that. It's a secret of your superbrains. To be honest, I've wanted a few superbrain friends to study it for a long time."

Wu Pifu narrowed his eyes, and the chairman of the First Company immediately said from the side, "Sir, be careful. He is Zhi, one of the five leaders of the Human Revolutionary Alliance, and also the most dangerous of the five leaders. Unlike the other leaders, he has no clear pursuit or purpose. This is more terrifying than the equally insane Mi. Because he has no pursuit or purpose, he can do anything, including... self-destruction and the destruction of all mankind. He is the real madman, a super madman disguised as a normal person. I suggest that you kill him directly, sir. Do not believe a single word he says, or he will definitely cause a big mess!"

Not only the chairman of the First Company, but also several people from Dongcheng hurriedly said, "Yes, sir, you'd better kill him immediately."

"Although Lord Liang Min captured him, he ultimately killed him!"

Even the Night Watchmen on the Alchemy Boy's side were saying similar things, but the people who killed him were all sorts of strange people. There was Chu Minghao, Liang Min, Chu Yuyan, Gao Changgong, Wang Yihui, and others. In short, almost all the successors who grew up at various points in time treated Zhi with the attitude of killing him as soon as possible.

Wu Pifu looked at Zhi with a scrutinizing and questioning gaze. Zhi didn't refute her, but just looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, then pouted and whistled.

After observing for a while, Wu Pifu finally asked, "Although you will most likely lie or not answer, I will still ask you one question: Why did you do this? What was the reason? Or is it that... you are not actually human? It just happens that your appearance and body are like a human's?"

For some reason, everyone present felt a slight tremor, though they didn't understand where it came from.

Knowing that he reacted the fastest, he immediately shook his head and said, "How could I not be human? I can be the purest human, you could call me a pure-blooded human. If you don't believe me, ask them. I am a pure-blooded human who has not undergone any human physical modification, mental modification, or any memes or supernatural contamination."

Wu Pifu looked at the others with suspicion. The others were even somewhat unwilling, but after learning that Wu Pifu was a superbrain, they did not have the ability to deceive the superbrain, so they could only nod reluctantly.

Wu Pifu was even more puzzled and asked, "Since you are also a pure-blooded human, why would you do this?"

The word "also" made the corners of everyone's mouths twitch, but Zhi answered seriously: "Human beings are a diverse species. You can't expect everyone to be like you, right? For example, there are smart people and there are idiots. How can you expect an idiot to do the same things as a smart person?"

Wu Pifu conjured up images of the internet in the 21st century in his mind, and then nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, there are indeed a lot of idiots in this world."

"Right, right?"

Zhi exclaimed in unison, "The reason they can't understand me is because they can't see what I see or understand what I understand, so naturally they think I'm crazy!"

Wu Pifu became even more serious and asked, "So... what did you see? What did you understand?"

Zhi looked up at the cargo hold ceiling, and everyone around him held their breath.

This is truly the biggest mystery for all the major powers.

Everyone has their own pursuits, their own logic and reasons for doing things. This is true for Chu Minghao, Liang Min, Wu Pifu, the Thirteen Singularity Company, and the other leaders of the Human Revolutionary Alliance. Even the so-called crazy fan has a simple pursuit: to eliminate other superbrains and bring humanity back to "purity" is his reason, at least the stated reason.

However, Zhi was different. He had no purpose or reason for his actions from beginning to end, and many of his actions were even contradictory, to the point that everyone thought he was crazy.

And now, is the biggest mystery about to be solved?
After a long pause, Zhi said, "Actually... this world is a story in a novel! We are all characters in the book! Once no one reads this book anymore, it will fall into a state of being even more terrifying than the time-traveling island, either ending in a bad way or being discontinued. We will be in a state between existence and non-existence, eternally suffering torment and pain. But as characters in the book, we don't know what conditions are needed to make the 'audience' like it. Is it love? Fantasy? Cultivation? History? Suspense? Horror? Or do they simply like to watch death?"

"I've actually been constantly trying, trying to understand those indescribable, incomprehensible beings, trying to know what they really want to do, what they want to see, what they want us to portray, what kind of power their 'seeing' is, and what our existence means to them?" Everyone around was dumbfounded. The chairman of the First Company glanced at Wu Pifu, swallowed hard, and asked Zhidao, "So you did these contradictory, or insane things? For example, twenty-one years before the outbreak of the Fourth World War, you mixed the gene war body virus of my First Singularity Company with the 'I am a Toaster' meme of the Ninth Company, and then released it on Europa, which led to the destruction of Europa's largest city, 'I am a Toaster City,' and since then it has become the 'I am a Toaster Forbidden Zone.' Is this what you call a test!?"

Zhi, hands on her hips, declared, "That's right, I did it!"

Dongcheng couldn't help but growl, "So, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, you used the opportunity of cooperating with the leader to expose the coordinates of your flagship, which allowed Chu Minghao to discover the leader's location, triggering the decisive battle at Koboyd. The leader was killed in battle, and your flagship was also destroyed. You almost died. Was this also your test?"

Zhi, hands on hips and head held high, declared, "Yes, I did it!"

The alchemy boy couldn't help but roar, "After President Chu Minghao died, it was you who sacrificed your own internal organs, attracting the possession of Mi. But when it possessed you, you were standing in the Sealed Zone of Fated Death, and then you died, and Mi also died most of the time... Is that why?!"

Zhi laughed heartily and proudly said, "Yes, yes, I'm amazing..."

Wu Pifu slapped Zhi on the head, shoving Zhi's head into the metal. However, Zhi only suffered bruises and swelling, and although his head was stuck in the metal and he couldn't get out, he didn't die.

"...No, what are you so proud of?"

Wu Pifu really wanted to slap this fake human to death; this thing was definitely not a pure-blooded human, but...

He felt a chill run down his spine. Unlike others who simply thought Zhi had gone mad, he didn't think so. When he was searching for the civilization that had been contained, he had actually encountered those indescribable "things" that Zhi had mentioned. He had even received favors from those things, which was why he truly felt a chill down his spine.

Could it be... that the world he inhabits is truly just a book?

However, this is something you really shouldn't think about too deeply, because once you do, it's easy to fall into nihilistic thinking, and in the end you won't be able to do anything, or even commit suicide.

When Zhi was suffocating, Wu Pifu pulled him out of the metal. Then he said seriously, "I don't care if you're really crazy or pretending. In short, if I find you've gone mad in this incident, I will kill you without hesitation. I swear I will do that. No matter what situation I'm in, I will kill you first."

Zhi Bian took a deep breath and spread his hands, saying, "Yes, yes, you're the super brain, so you call the shots... But you'd better perform well for me. If I feel bored, then the audience will definitely feel bored too, and then don't blame me for putting on a big show."

Wu Pifu ignored the madman and looked at the others, especially the chairman of the First Company, and said, "So we are now in a cargo hold on a plane traveling from Earth to space. Where is Chu Minghao?"

The chairman of the First Company immediately said, "Chu Minghao is guarding the birthplace of the final producer, which is the first-generation super brain auxiliary device. The cargo in our cargo hold is the material needed to manufacture this super brain auxiliary device. After arriving at the spaceport, it will be sorted on the spaceport and then launched into the super brain auxiliary device."

Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "Besides us, are there any other teams?"

Dongcheng immediately replied, "Yes, I don't know exactly how many, but this operation involves a spacetime-time penetration, so theoretically there should be countless obstructors arriving."

Wu Pifu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's easy. Even without me, if there are hundreds or thousands of Liang Mins, they can overwhelm Chu Minghao. Uh... wait a minute, if there are hundreds or thousands of Liang Mins, does that mean there will also be hundreds or thousands of Chu Minghaos?"

Hundreds or thousands of Chu Minghaos... Just thinking about this scene sent chills down Wu Pifu's spine.

Just then, the cargo hold shook violently. It was unclear whether it had arrived at the spaceport or stopped on the space elevator. Suddenly, one of the cargo hold walls opened up, and a voice rang out.

"No, the superbrain is unique. Although there are countless versions of us in the relative spacetime perspective, only one individual superbrain can exist under the same spacetime coordinates. Therefore, there can only be one Mr. Chu Minghao, one Mr. Liang Min, and one you... a stranger who is a superbrain holder."

A young man with a gentle smile walked in from outside the wall, followed by hundreds of people, including some of Wu Pifu's acquaintances, and even some he was particularly familiar with, such as... the very large Xu Shilan!
The chairman of the first company looked wary and said to the young man in a low voice, "You're here too..."

The chairman of Youth Rush First Company nodded and said, "Otherwise what? Do you mean you'd rather see Mr. Liang Min?"

The chairman of the First Company remained silent, but the young man took a step forward and instantly appeared five meters in front of Wu Pifu. He then walked towards Wu Pifu with a normal gait, smiling and extending his hand, saying, "Hello, stranger, superbrain holder. Let's introduce ourselves. From now on, we will be comrades fighting side by side. I am..."

"Xu Wanfang".
