Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 171 21. Wu Neng: Great! My brain, which has been lost for many years, is finally finding its power!
The facts are shocking.

The present Zhou Ke accidentally killed his past self while trying to save someone.

The truth is also painful.

Because Zhou Ke had no way of explaining the dramatic scene in front of him to the three women around him who were looking at him with strange eyes.

The facts are even more devastating.

After the "half-demon" Roger escaped, he was the only one left to perform an "autopsy" on his past self.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry! I'm a little confused right now, give me some time to sort it out. Don't kick my feet, Amanda, poor me is already dead, don't abuse my corpse in front of me.

Zhuo, it's really awkward to say this! "

Zhou Ke pushed Amanda, who was trying not to laugh, away, then walked over to "himself" and squatted down. While putting on autopsy gloves, he said to the three girls around him:

"First, calm your irrepressible curiosity. At least let me complete the on-site examination of this murder case. At the same time, let me sort out the situation here and organize my words."

"What's there to sort out?"

Afu suppressed her intense curiosity and said to Zhou Ke:

"The time stream we're in is clearly in a nearly stagnant timeline, its flow extremely slow. In other words, if we continue to stay here, we might see ourselves, who you killed, 'resurrect from the dead' and then leave for the Badlands."

"Do not be silly."

D-4 mobilized 60% of her computing power to suppress the terrible logic in her thinking circuit that was almost deadlocked. She said rationally:
"Since we witnessed this murder, it means that Mr. Zhou Ke's 'resurrection' was not a natural phenomenon. The four of us must have been involved.

Maybe, he was saved by us!
The only problem now is that according to the principle of "time assassination", if Mr. Zhou Ke in the past died at his own hands, then he now should disappear immediately because of the death in the past.

But he didn't disappear.

It was as if the person he had killed was 'another person.'"

"I think you guys are overthinking it."

Amanda, who was completely confused by the scene just now, put her hands on her hips, lowered her head and lit a cigarette to calm herself down. She complained:

“Maybe there’s something wrong with this time maze itself. Just now when I was pretending to be asleep, I heard that old bearded man say that this is not a normal timeline at all. So, maybe Zhou Ke has been beaten to death by himself!
He hasn't disappeared because we haven't returned to the normal timeline. Maybe the moment we get out of here, he will suddenly disappear in front of us. That's how the crappy movie about time loop that idiot Mulan made was played out!

I watched it with Moni at the time, and I forgot the details, probably because Moni was engaged in a verbal battle with my mother at the time? "

"No, it won't!"

D-4 corrected:
"If that's what you're saying, then Mr. Zhou Ke shouldn't exist in the external normal timeline. There's no order of 'before' or 'after' in the changes in the timeline. The mapping of the past, present, and future is all instantaneous.

In other words, if Mr. Zhou Ke really traveled through time and killed his past self, then at the moment this cycle was completed, he would be separated from the normal timeline.

We will have no remaining memory of him at all.

But we still remember him, and that’s obviously not normal.”

"Okay! Let's not discuss these things that I don't quite understand and don't want to understand at all. I will explain them when the time is right."

Zhou Ke looked at the "self" who was killed by himself by mistake, he rubbed his eyes with a painful look on his face, thinking that it was not a good thing that his marksmanship was too good, because the unlucky single-headed bullet just now ricocheted in a very tricky direction after hitting the half-demon Roger, almost completely lifting the back of his head.

In this situation, even if you tie Abin and Weng Mingyue together and give them the best equipment in the Evil Land, they will not be able to change their fate.

Blanch!
The brains were all mixed up, just like a pot of pig brains.

"Uh, Joker, I know it's painful for you to see yourself being beaten to death, but I have to remind you of something that's really important right now."

Wu Neng whispered:
"Look at your wrist in the past!"

"Ok?"

Following Wuneng's prompt, he looked at "his" arm, where there was a "past Wuneng" quietly maintaining a shutdown state. This made Zhou Ke's eyes light up, and he immediately reached out to unlock it, but then he remembered that there was a proton bomb hidden in this thing, so he did not rashly unlock the permanent lock, but kept groping along Wuneng's body.

A moment later, he carefully pulled out a white memory stick from the storage slot of "Past Enlightenment".

"This is it!"

Wu Neng cheered as if he had won a lottery jackpot worth tens of millions:

"This machine knows that this machine is the key to solving all the problems. This machine must have left enough clues for itself before the crisis came. Maybe as long as this thing is returned to its place, this machine can immediately unlock the locked super-dimensional database of this machine!
what!
The brain of this machine that has been missing for more than half a year is finally going to be found.

Quick! Joker, insert this thing into the third slot of this machine. This machine can't wait to solve the puzzle left for me by my past self."

"I advise you not to get so excited."

Zhou Ke looked at the white memory stick and shook his head.
"It's just a memory stick. It's just a reader in theory. It has no ability to unlock your database."

"nonsense!"

Wu Neng retorted:
"If this is really a hint left by this machine, how could it be possible for this machine, with its intelligence, to give out the unlocking key so easily? This machine does not want any little jerk to pick up this machine and use it immediately.

Confidentiality measures! Do you understand?

This is just a hint, but if you follow the hint, you will definitely be able to retrieve the unlock key of this machine. In short, stop talking nonsense and quickly insert that hot solid thing! This machine is already itching to get it back. "

"My Zhuo, you are really getting more and more stupid. What you say is a height that the skewers will never reach."

Zhou Ke cursed, then inserted the white memory stick into its storage slot at Wu Neng's frantic urging.

To be honest, this process was full of weird hints that made Zhou Ke feel degrading.

After all, Wu Neng had obviously lost the rationality that a robot should have. His impatient attitude was like that of an agitated young man who accidentally saw a drunken 36D sister who had just broken up with his love lying dead at his doorstep.
Well, don’t ask Zhou Ke why he is so experienced in life. After all, in his previous life, his ill-fated relationship with a lover started so plain and boring.

"Well, it's worthy of this machine. The encryption of this memory stick is a nested unlocking method unique to this machine. The computing power of this machine is insufficient now. It is estimated that it will take several minutes to unlock it.

You guys should take care of your own things first, and leave this machine alone."

Wu Neng threw down a sentence and ran off to "compete with wits and courage" with his past self, while the remaining four people looked at each other, and finally all eight eyes looked at the other "him" who was shot in the head under Zhou Ke's feet.

"How about digging a hole and burying it?"

Amanda, who had a clear mind, blew out a smoke ring and suggested:
"If we wait any longer, the body will become stiff."

"Well, I mean, try to treat it."

D-4 couldn't bear to see her beloved Mr. Zhou Ke lying dead in the wilderness, but she kept popping out several sophisticated treatment devices from her fingertips, but she didn't know how to repair the back of his head that had been beaten into a pile of pig brains.

This predicament was finally ended by Afu.

The spell master shook his head and said:
"Don't try. There's no hope. Even gods can't save this kind of injury. Unless you can reverse time, how about calling back that old man with white beard? I think he can handle this."

"Reverse time. Hey, you really reminded me."

Zhou Ke narrowed his eyes, looked at himself who was "accidentally injured" at the foot of the ground, picked up the most useless mask from the masks in his hand, and put it on the face of his past self.

He couldn't be sure whether his mask could be used by his past self, but considering that the body was still the same, just with a new "resident", and the talent was still the original talent, it was likely that it could be used.

As it turned out, his idea was correct.

Zhou Ke narrowed his eyes as he saw the Flash mask actually being placed on his past self's face. Pulling a psychic combat dagger from his boot, he shattered the mask, using the mask's "self-healing" properties to perform a cardiopulmonary resuscitation on his past self.

Of course, this is no less difficult than rushing into the King of Hell's Hall to draw up a book of life and death.

But my family knows their own affairs.

In fact, the moment he shot "himself" just now, Zhou Ke understood the whole cause and effect in his mind. The unlucky guy he accidentally killed was not him, but the real "Lan"!
Lan is dead, and that soul cannot be saved.

What he had to do now was not to resurrect him, but to try his best to restore this corpse to the state of a "usable vehicle" so that when he "traveled through" later, he would not really have to "resurrect by borrowing a corpse".

"Hey! It actually grew!"

Amanda, who was smoking nearby, exclaimed.

As she said, after Zhou Ke broke the mask, the brain structure of the head-exploded corpse was visibly "reshaped". Seeing that it was useful, Zhou Ke's heart ached. He knew that he would have to bleed more today in order to save "himself".

So he sighed and took out the useless "gargoyle mask", put it on "his own" face and then destroyed it.

After the second self-healing, the brain was completely intact and the back of the head also began to recover.

But Zhou Ke all had a use for the remaining masks. He hesitated for a moment, took out the "Resurrection Armor" mask in his arms, weighed it up and down in his hand. There were other X-894 finished products wandering in the maze, and this mask could be taken back at any time. So he made up his mind and took the initiative to destroy the Resurrection Armor that he had just lost and recovered.

When the time energy was about to dissipate, he caught it with his backhand and slapped it on "his own" corpse, using the power of time to reverse the condition of the corpse to its complete state.

However, at this time, D-4 discovered the key point. She stopped Zhou Ke from taking out the mask and pointed at the back of his head, which had healed to %, and said:

"Something's wrong! Look, boss, in addition to the bullet piercing the back of his head, there are also lacerations from the inside out! It wasn't you who killed him, and it wasn't Roger who did it! Even without that bullet, he would have died from the explosion of his skull due to brain mutation.

This situation is very similar to"

"The rapid development of psychic organs caused brain mutations, and being bewitched by chaos caused abnormal thinking. After seeing too many things that he shouldn't have seen, his intracranial pressure increased rapidly, and eventually the skull exploded."

Afu said calmly:

"Two or three idiots like this are blown up every month in the Jiubang training camp. The way they die is that the back of their heads explode like a broken watermelon. No wonder I felt that this injury looked familiar just now. The bullet shot by Zhou Ke was not the cause of death!

On the contrary, it helped him avoid pain and suffering, which was equivalent to giving him a happy ending."

"So I did good things?"

Zhou Ke snorted.

He no longer wasted the mask and stood up, looking at the back of his head which was still slowly healing at his feet. He thought that this was enough. He remembered that it was like this when he just woke up, with blood bleeding from the back of his head.

But this is not the place where I woke up!

Definitely not within the time maze.

So, I have one last thing to do.
"Come on, help me and throw him out."

Zhou Ke waved to D-4, who came forward with a bewildered look on his face, bent down and lifted up the past self together with Zhou Ke, and walked to the outermost time flow fault of the time maze. D-4 looked at the illusory sand in front of her and whispered:

"If you throw him out from here, he will escape the time maze and return to the normal time flow. The chaos in the time flow will also cause your past self to appear in the outside world at random time periods.

This is very dangerous.

Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I know that's not what you want to ask."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"But I can't tell you now do you believe me?"

he asked.

D-4 looked at him, his eyes gradually becoming gentle, and then he nodded silently.

The two of them waved their hands at the same time in tacit understanding, throwing the past Zhou Ke out of the time maze like throwing away a corpse.

Watching his other self disappear in the illusory sand, Zhou Ke sighed and closed his eyes for a few seconds, then took D-4's arm, lifted her chin, and gave her a gentle kiss.

"I'll tell you, just be patient."

He whispered, then turned around amidst Amanda's strange "tsk tsk tsk" sound. Just as he was about to say something to her and Afu, he heard the Wuneng on his arm make a light "beep" sound, and then it cheered:

"Yeah! Who's the coolest? Who's the coolest? This machine is the coolest! This machine is the coolest! The puzzle left by the past machine for this machine is easily solved. Ha, stupid Joker, are you ready to check the message left by your past self for your present self?

friendly reminder!

I just saw it, and the content is quite explosive."

"Let it go."

Zhou Ke lit a cigarette and said:

"I also want to know what that unfortunate guy went through before he blew himself up in the head?"

"Ah? Didn't you blow your own head off? Why are you trying to shirk responsibility? I saw it clearly just now. You killed yourself! You murderer!"

"Shut up! Play your little movie!"

"Well, watch carefully. This is your second short film as the lead actor. I've discovered that you're quite good at making these kinds of restricted movies."

"Swish"

Amid Wu Neng's obscene complaints, three-dimensional light and shadow popped out from Zhou Ke's arm device.

What comes into view is a selfie scene, with another "him" appearing in the scene.

The same face but pale, with heavy dark circles, cold sweat constantly flowing from the forehead, and bloodshot eyes all indicating that this guy was not having a good time.

"I am 'Lan', the only test subject of the 'Eternal Singularity' project. I may not be able to hold on any longer. The two higher-dimensional symbols in my body have become unbalanced. The chaotic whispers from the shadows of the subspace are trying to pull me into the black sun.

I can’t stand it anymore.”

He uttered these words in a hoarse voice.

Zhou Ke blew out a smoke ring expressionlessly. This was almost the same as his previous guess.

Sure enough, the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure he had previously experienced were caused by the Chaos Party.

This also reminded him of what would happen if the spiritual Black Sun and the Pale Light Corona became unbalanced to the worst.

"Ahem, I've been stuck in this chaotic place for who knows how long. I've been trying to stay away from the insane Takahashi Sandaifu. He's a Chaos believer hiding in the Shunguang Organization! He plotted against me and 'Mother'!
He tried to sabotage our cooperation with Shunguang and make the 'Sacred Benchmark' project, which had already failed once, completely and irreversibly get out of control again.

Mother died
I failed to protect her, which proves that I am a failure.

Ah, but it doesn't matter, my spiritual balance has been unbalanced, I have felt my brain is changing abnormally, which means my end is coming. I have seen how the laboratory handles failed products, and I have even dealt with my own "kind" with my own hands.

My mother trusted me so much, but I failed to protect her.
This is the punishment and ending I deserve!"

The "Lan" in the picture is rubbing his forehead with a look of despair. His visible anxiety, confusion and pain represent his absolutely abnormal mental state at the moment.

But what he said made Zhou Ke narrow his eyes.

Case solved.

The reason why Research Institute No. 11 became Time Maze No. has been found.

It turned out that it was the research director Takahashi Santaifu who was behind this. Zhou Ke didn't think that "Lan" in this state would still be in the mood to make up lies. He accused Takahashi Santaifu of being a chaos believer, so there was a high probability that that guy really was one.

Alas, this is really explosive but not very exciting news.

Zhou Ke has dealt with Shun Guang a lot.

He knew very well that although the Flash Organization studied metaphysical things like "time", they still advocated science and the order they controlled. Such principles made it impossible for them to become crazy bastards who depended on chaos.

In other words, no matter why Takahashi Santaifu fell into chaos and attacked "Arashi" and his mother, the so-called "Three Heroes of the Flash" had actually become disunited.

The reason why Roger is so persistent in uncovering the secret of Time Maze No. 11 is probably related to this incident.

D-4 also realized the importance of this news, and her logic circuits began to run at high speed, while Afu clenched her fists. Although she was a psionicist who followed the metaphysical route, she had just experienced the chaos at the Beta base firsthand, which made her have no good feelings towards the forces of chaos.

However, the "Lan" in the picture did not leave this impression just to write a will, he had something more important to say.

"If you find 'Enlightenment' on my corpse, and if you are lucky enough to activate it, then listen carefully!

In my mother's final plan of resistance, I locked Wuneng's hyperdimensional database and hid the unlocking key in the No. 3 library of this Shunguang Research Institute, on the second layer of the red wooden cabinet marked "Old Civilization Data", in the spine of the third book on the left.

During the battle with that monster, Wu Neng lost his external combat components. Please be sure to find them back.

It will definitely help you a lot.”

The "Lan" of the past said in a deep voice:

"If you were born in this world and are watching this video, please remember! This is just a 'testing ground' and it does not represent what is happening in the real world.

It's not fake!
But this is only a facsimile and simulation of 'reality'.

Don't feel desperate or lost because of this. My mother and I were invited here to help get the second test of the "Sacred Benchmark" project on the right track.

Once the theoretically proven project is successfully completed, you and the whole world will regain the value of existence.

In order to assist old Dr. Acholi in completing the experiment, the mother brought the last two 'eternal samples' needed for the experiment, but that was also Takahashi Santao's goal. He needed them to allow himself to reach a higher level of individual power.

He also needs them to help his evil 'master' completely open up the channel between the warp and the material world.

If you haven’t realized what I’m talking about yet, keep your head up!
Look at the strange-colored moon above your head."

Lan panted, as if he was enduring some kind of gradually increasing pain, and said in an even hoarse voice:

"You can't let that 'thing' be born! Otherwise, not only will you face your doom, but the real side will also fall into an even more indescribable situation.

This is a conspiracy!
Mother said that this was a conspiracy that had been woven from the moment of 'Advent' and continued to this day.

It has reached the moment of qualitative change!
Both the 'Eternal Singularity' and the 'Sacred Benchmark' were born as resistance to that tragic outcome, and now they have both reached their final stage.

I am one of them.

I am their weapon against fate, doom and eternity, but I am failing!

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I failed to become the 'savior' that my mother hoped for. I have failed her care and guidance over the countless days and nights in the past. I can only tell you the last message: please take over our flag, step over my body and move forward!

Humanity cannot become extinct!

At least they cannot be exterminated in such an undignified way. They need a miracle, and so do I.
Good luck to those who come across this video later.

I selfishly and cowardly gave my duties to you, and I have nothing to give back to you in return.

Please forgive me for this irresponsible failure.

Please forgive me
Ah, mother, wait for me, I won't let you go alone."

"beep"

The image went out at this moment.

Except for Zhou Ke, the remaining three girls were all in a daze.

D-4 was fine, as she had been mentally prepared from Professor Qiao Sina's last words.

Afu was fine, she had followed her eldest daughter from the Garden of Eden to the surface and had some guesses, but Amanda shouted:
"Wait! What the hell! What do you mean this place we are in is not real? So we are all virtual people?"

"It's not what you understand. I have an idea now."

Zhou Ke waved his hands and said:

"But to confirm this, we must first find the unlocking key hidden by 'Lan'. Hmm, I have a feeling that we are really not far from the answer to the mystery. Cheer up!"

He took out the compass that said "May your wishes come true", held it with both hands and silently recited the "unlocking key". As the needle spun, he said to the dead "Lan" in his heart:

"Who said you, the unlucky ghost, didn't pay me? Isn't this body the best reward? It will keep a wandering ghost from another world from being torn apart. Since I took your body, I must bear your karma.

Although this matter seems very troublesome, what can I say?

I think this exchange is reasonable.

I will take the responsibility for what you failed to do! You are the unlucky one who only appears once in a century, so just go with peace of mind."
