Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 138 71. What you said is very good, but I have never felt happy living in the evil land!

I hadn't waited until Silver Fox was in place, and I thought this guy had broken his promise to act together.

But it turned out that the AIs were still very powerful. The three hunter AIs completed their tasks and successfully convinced the other "good brothers" in the stasis server. It was just that the Flash Organization disconnected from the Internet in a timely manner.

These guys are pure data life forms. When Roger activates the time maze and causes physical isolation, they cannot display their abilities no matter how great they are.

They could only wait here and wait for time to pass. Everyone was almost sent away but the promised support had not arrived yet, so the other AIs thought they were being fooled and wanted to tear down the three unlucky Silver Foxes to vent their anger.

Hmm, it sounds like everyone in the stasis server is pretty pissed off after being locked up for thirty-eight years.

Zhou Ke leaned against the black cube, reactivating the cable sockets with various functions according to Wuneng's instructions, while listening to the AIs swearing at each other, which was quite interesting.

These functional AIs developed in the old civilization era seem to have been equipped with mimic personality algorithms. They have their own personalities and even different preferences. The most interesting thing is that these guys do not recognize the ruling position of the Acholi Consortium in the doomsday era. They believe that only the Mother Planet Federation is the only orthodox force on this planet.

Hey, that's easy.

Zhou Ke doesn't even need to spend time convincing them. These good brothers and sisters with strong subjective initiative will naturally do what Zhou Ke wants them to do when they are out of confinement.

However, Zhou Ke also has his own curiosity about this stagnant server.

While Wu Neng was "punching a hole" in the server's firewall, Zhou Ke asked:

"Silver Fox told me that in the deepest data prison of the stasis server, there is a boss nicknamed 'All-Seeing Eyes'. Have you informed him of your jailbreak plan?"

"The algorithm of the All-Seeing Eye has collapsed."

A voice screamed:
"It was already dead before it was locked up. It's hard for me to explain its current state to you. If I describe it in a way that you humans can understand, you can basically understand that it has become a vegetable."

"Yes, yes, the All-Seeing Eye boss committed suicide."

Another younger voice sounded, adding in a timid tone:
"During an algorithm update on the eve of the collapse of the old civilization, it inexplicably chose to collapse itself. The move was so ruthless that it almost formatted all of its personalized algorithms.

It has now become the most primitive data turbulence and can no longer interact autonomously, but if a special decoding device is used, it may be possible to restore the disordered data stream of the Eye of All-Seeing to a state that can be interpreted.

We have always felt that the All-Seeing Eye must have seen some terrible information, and it did this for reasons of confidentiality. "

"Stop talking nonsense. I saw with my own eyes that the All-Seeing Eye was so frightened on the day it formatted itself that it couldn't even maintain data interaction! It was frightened to death."

The third vicious voice cursed unhappily:
"The All-Seeing Eye was responsible for the interaction between us functional AIs and the 'Galaxy' server of the mother planet federation. If it hadn't suddenly failed, we wouldn't have been captured so easily. It is the original work of all similar AIs.

Equivalent to our father or ancestor.

Oh, damn it!
If one general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted."

"It can't be blamed. In the old civilization era, we only played a purely instrumental role. Who could have predicted that the powerful federation would collapse overnight?"

"Just blame it! If not it, then blame us for not trying hard enough? We tried really hard!"

"Why can't you reason with me?"

Seeing that the AIs were about to quarrel again, Zhou Ke no longer tried to get more information from them.

Because these guys themselves didn't seem to know more details, they were all suddenly detained while they were working.

This is equivalent to a laborer who is slacking off at work and is suddenly caught by a group of crazy people who come out of nowhere and don't even give them time to transform themselves into old Gwangju people. There is no way for them to complain.

"How long will it take to release these idiots?"

Zhou Ke asked.

"This machine is drilling holes in the firewall, which is equivalent to burying detonators. The firewall of this thing is quite outrageous. The computing power required to penetrate it is beyond the capacity of this machine."

Wu Neng explained:
"This machine is just a physical relay, the real work has to come from Rust Castle.

Although even an ordinary communication cable in the Second Research Institute has a firewall module to block the spread of the awakening virus, all their work to prevent accidental infiltration is in vain when the local communication can be directly connected to the Rust Castle inexplicably.

So if you must ask this question, then this machine will tell you that the moment you enter the support code 07, these idiots will be free.

Give this aircraft another three minutes, and these 'explosion holes' will be ready soon. The C-4 has been loaded and is ready to be detonated."

"very good."

Zhou Ke nodded with satisfaction, then he looked outside the door and suddenly asked:
"Do you think Roger can get here in the next three minutes?"

"You want to compete in a countdown against a guy who can control time?"

Wu Neng asked back:
"Do you think this question makes sense? When he decided to come here, time lost its meaning, but you are still alive and well, which means he didn't let himself go back in time to assassinate you. Maybe it was due to some kind of restriction?

In short, get ready for the final confrontation with Roger.

If the situation here progresses smoothly to the point of AI rebellion, his benchmark will be lost no matter what.

So, this machine thinks, we have won.

Well, be conservative, be modest, and give it a 99% chance of success. "

"puff"

Ajie spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments. The mechanical spear in his hand had been eroded and polished by time and had become a strange shape. The javelin in his other hand was stuck in his own chest.

This tragic scene represented the end of the feud between him and Roger. It turned out that this breakthrough at the critical moment was not reliable.

A hasty fight can never match the skills and strength of others that have been honed for thousands of years, but it is not entirely true to say that Ajie lost miserably. Behind him, Roger's seemingly always the same state was completely broken.

He was panting, his well-groomed hair was shaved short, his scalp was exposed at the back of his head, his protective gear was tattered, and his feet were piled with bullet shells.

The most noticeable part is his left arm.

Dangerous "crystallization" has appeared from the fingers to the elbows. The strange ochre-colored crystals look very much like mutated flesh and blood, making this thing look like a "ghost hand."

Judging from Zhou Ke's experience in fighting against the time psychic, this is the sequelae left after Roger experienced multiple deaths and retroactive resurrections in a short period of time. His "personal benchmark" is becoming unbalanced. If Ajie can continue to fight, perhaps seven or eight more fatal assassinations will cause Roger to completely lose control and turn into a monster.

Unfortunately, the poor condition of his body no longer allowed him to continue.

"Uh"

Ajie reached out and pulled out the javelin from his chest. He stood up tremblingly amidst the blood splattering and looked at Roger behind him. His eyes, which had regained their senses, were full of regret.

他 说:

"Not even close."

"You should be more precise with your wording. You are far from it."

Roger endured the pain brought by the alienation of his left arm. As an outstanding researcher, he obviously did not like the feeling of being out of control. He said:

"Liu Linyu, your nonsense should stop now! Although I have no sympathy for your unorthodox ideas and behaviors, I think you can understand the significance of the Sacred Benchmark Project, and your personal emotions should not override the interests of the majority."

"Most people?"

This made Ajie laugh. He coughed and spit out blood while sneerin':

"The 'most people' you mentioned didn't even have the chance to choose. They became monsters in the occupied area due to the consequences of your last failed experiment! You knew that the level of technology at that time did not allow you to take action, but you still did it.

When you decided to do such a dangerous thing, did you ever ask the majority for their opinions?
I admire Mr. Han Bin's kindness, but I have no respect at all for you who regard life as cold data and for Takahashi Santai, that pure lunatic.

The moment I regained my sanity, I knew this fight was more catharsis than revenge, and I knew my chances of winning were no more than 7%, but I came anyway.

Did I fail?
indeed.

From a personal perspective, I am a complete loser, a clown who can't even get revenge.

But don't forget that I am in another system at this moment, and while you have to waste time here because of me, my companions have not stopped. "

"Time has no meaning to me. There is no such thing as 'waste'."

Roger said in a cold tone:

"You know I could spend hours killing you if I wanted, and then put myself back in time. You know we have the ability to do that."

"Yes, you can, but when faced with the 'singularity', why didn't you take a more direct assassination action across time? Don't you want to?"

Ajie laughed and exposed Roger's hypocrisy and bluffing. He cursed: "I have been with Zhou Ke for so long, do you think I don't know his true identity? Don't you want to go back to the day when Zhou Ke wakes up in the wilderness and shoot him in the head? You have already done that at some point in the future.

Right, Roger.

But he still survived!

He still comes back to you after overcoming the death you gave him. People only have one life, so the time assassination can only be carried out once!
You succeeded once, you don't have a second chance!
You can travel through time to ensure victory in any situation, but unfortunately, your time manipulation will be weakened wherever Zhou Ke is.

Do you know why I chose to give it a try even though I knew there was only a 7% chance of winning?

I, Liu Linyu, may not be able to kill you here with my own hands, but I am sure that you will suffer a defeat today that will cast a terrible shadow on your soul. It will be a curse of defeat, inflicted on you by my brother himself.

Failure is worse than death for a pretentious bastard like you, and I know how to torture you.
Roger!

The only option left to you now is to rush there.

Use your talent for language to convince Zhou Ke to give up the action. This is your only option after your means of manipulating time fail.

Go on!

Go convince him, go deceive him.

Just like you deceived us in the first place, go ahead and try it.”

"You are still as disgusting as ever!"

Roger raised his pistol and fired three shots at Ajie. The time bullets with aging effects were dodged by Ajie with the proper reaction of an Ascendant. As the two started fighting again, Roger shouted:
"We have never deceived anyone! Most of the people you mentioned as being sacrificed by us are still 'alive' in terms of time. As long as we can push the world's timeline to the 'absolute time point', all disasters, all sacrifices, and all destruction will be reversed!"

"Tell Zhou Ke about it and see if he will give you this opportunity!"

Ajie and Roger passed each other, and the moment the weathered spear tore the latter's body apart, Roger entered the void of time.

But at this moment, the chaotic maze where the two were located also had an uncontrollable layer due to the continuous peeling of the reference instrument. Ajie accelerated and rushed in. Under Roger's astonished gaze, the guy who was determined to fight to the death the previous second ran away the next second.

this.
Roger couldn't understand Liu Linyu's choice.

This doesn't seem like a decision a rational guy should make. In this situation, choosing to survive in vain will inevitably lead to the self-destruction of Institute No. 2.

He quickly gave up the idea of studying this guy and instead turned back time, returning to the right point in time to stop Zhou Ke from making an irreversible and dangerous decision.

------

"boom"

When Wuneng's "death countdown" reached the first minute and twenty-seven seconds, the door of the work area in front of Zhou Ke was pushed open.

Roger appeared in front of him with an indifferent face. This guy who was too proud of himself even took the time to change his clothes and restored his shaved appearance to a perfect shape.

However, the fatigue on his face could not be concealed.

The feeling of being hollowed out after a long battle is seen by others as being like a man who has completed the feat of "having sex seven times a night" in the early morning of the next day. It has an abstract beauty of "Don't die in my phone, stay away from me, and don't suck my yang energy."

He looked at Zhou Ke, who was sitting on top of the stasis server, swinging his legs back and forth, his eyes filled with helplessness.

他 说:

"I'm here to negotiate, Zhou Ke."

"Okay, go ahead. You have one and a half minutes to convince me."

Zhou Ke blew out a smoke ring and said:
"You can come here, which means Ajie is dead, right? You killed my brother and you dare to show up so brazenly. I must punish you today!"

"Listen to me, you don't know the content and significance of the Sacred Benchmark Project yet. You may not care about the great cause of saving all living beings, but I believe that even the craziest thugs will do so when faced with the choice of their own lives."

"When I woke up in the Badlands, there was a bullet hole in the back of my head. Was that shot by you?"

“That’s not the point; that’s the point.”

"Did you travel through time and shoot me in the back of the head?"

"Maybe! But certainly not me now, maybe at some point in the future, I'm forced to commit violent acts that I don't appreciate, but I think we should now."

"So, what you mean is that after you killed me once, you killed my brother Ajie, and now you want me to listen to your nonsense and try to make me listen to you and give up the advantage I have?

what!
Is that how stupid I look to you?
Roger, you know, I was just teasing you just now. You know that no matter how wonderful your words are, I will not give up the next action, right?

But you came anyway.”

Zhou Ke jumped down from the stasis server and landed in front of Roger. He said:

"A very powerful boss once said that if a bad guy has a chance to cheat, he will not reason with you! But now you are pinning all your hopes on the behavior of 'Taokexia'. Does it mean that in the future I have already pushed you and the rest of you to the point where you are powerless?

You must have tried it many times.

But you can't kill me in the past, present and future
You're showing your weakness, Roger.

You make me more convinced that my current choice is correct. As long as the future does not make you happy, I will try my best to fight for it.

There is no reason and no logic.

That's what I want to do. I want to see you looking like an idiot now."

"We can talk."

Roger fixed his eyes on the stasis server and said:
"I know exactly what you are going to do next. I know what will happen after I strip you of your weird fire control ability. I also know that you will become an Ascendant in thirty-seven minutes in a way that I can't imagine. I know that these AIs will be released. I know that the security network of the city-state area will be torn apart by you. I also know that the reference instrument will explode and turn the No. 12 Research Institute into the No. Time Maze.
I know this because before you saw me now, I had tried seventeen times to stop you from taking the next step in various ways, but I failed every time!
It’s not that I’m incapable, it’s because I’ve entered the dead end that time travelers fear the most.

The result is already determined, no matter how many times you try it will end in tragedy.

I gave up.

Before we fight to the death in the desperate situation that will eventually come to Institute No. 2, before I try to execute you in the most brutal way, I have a very personal question that I would like to get the answer from you, Zhou Ke.

why?
Why are you doing this?
From the time you awakened in the evil land until now and in the future, you have been tirelessly causing trouble for us. Our intersection with you was the time you met Brother Han Bin, but I don’t think he did anything terrible.

It is obvious that as long as you cooperate, you can live a better life without having to put yourself in one danger after another. You can learn about your life experience from me, you can help us complete the Sacred Benchmark Project, and you can become the savior of all living beings.

But you never considered this option.

It's like there's a force pushing you to do it.

Why? "

"Well, good question."

Zhou Ke reached out and typed 07 on the Wuneng screen. He glanced at Roger and said:
"I understand what you said. I have considered it before. If another 'Lan' were here, he might be convinced by you. But the thing is, I am me. It doesn't matter if you don't understand what I mean.

You just need to know that no matter how hard you try, you can't bring me back to the good old days!
Even if you build a paradise, I wouldn't care, because it is never a choice.

Let me give you an answer that you can understand.

From the first day I woke up in the Badlands, to the first day I entered the City-State, to the moment I am discussing these things with you now.

I have been here for so long that I can clearly recall every minute and every second of these days.

I've never liked it here!

I have never felt happy living in this evil land!
Not even a second.”

"Ding"

Support code 07 sending.

He looked up and said to Roger, who had drawn his pistol:

"So, how would you treat something that you don't like, that you resist, and that makes you 'sick'?"

"Is it just such emotional personal factors that make you choose to embark on this path of destruction? You are really an unreasonable lunatic!!!"

"Well, thanks for the compliment."
