Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 221 11. The month of fetal movement, inviting you into the dream

"So, on the first day you two entered the Garden of Eden, before six hours had passed and before you even had your temporary residence permits, you were involved in a serious public security incident and a vicious closed-room murder case?"

A few hours later, Zhou Ke, with a sour face, sat in the aircraft, looking at Moni, who had just been bailed out and looked haggard, and Amanda, who had gone through the whole process but was still confused. He sighed helplessly and said:
"I thought I was capable of causing trouble, but in front of you two, my skills are nothing.

If I hadn't just been chatting and laughing with the omnipotent Abin, and had immediately asked him for help after receiving Amanda's call for help, otherwise, given the heinous nature of this murder case, both of you would have to stay in the deep space prison for at least twenty years!

Moreover, the deceased was an Acholi director who enjoyed a special status.

So, tell me, don't look so dead, why did you kill your grandfather with your own hands? Has the relationship between grandfathers and grandchildren become so bad these days? You two haven't seen each other for ten years, right? You both used firearms when you just met?"

“It’s very complicated.”

Moni's mind was visibly confused at this moment, so Amanda described to Zhou Ke what had happened before on his behalf.

She was an ascender after all, able to remember and describe the details clearly. Zhou Ke frowned as he listened, and D-4, who was in the cockpit and flying the aircraft to the inner ring city, also narrowed his eyes.

After Amanda finished her vivid and gossipy account, Zhou Ke nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from his bosom, and got a roll of tape from somewhere, and skillfully sealed the smoke alarm inside the aircraft. He then distributed cigarettes to himself, Moni, and Amanda.

In the midst of the smoke, he said:
"Alas, I was planning to tell you the truth later. It's not that I'm hiding it on purpose, but it's a bit complicated to talk about. But judging from your grandfather's final choice, the situation they are facing now is also quite painful. It's either old Acholi's desperate gamble or Han Bin's "reverse spiral". There is no third choice for them.

What's worse is that they are different from us.
Although we are also in the game, at least we have some initiative, but they don't. They can only choose the less bad one between two bad options.

Tsk tsk, on the surface, it seems that they are forever young and enjoying happiness in the Garden of Eden, but you can imagine the pressure they are under in private. This is not happiness at all, this is clearly suffering. Sure enough, this principle is the same in any world. The more you know about the truth, the less happy you will be.

In this fucked up world, ignorance is bliss.”

As he was feeling a bit relieved that it was easy for him to talk without any pain in his waist, Moni raised his head and looked at Zhou Ke without saying a word, but his attitude was already very clear.

So Zhou Ke spent some time telling Moni all the information he currently knew about the main timeline, branch timeline and the Sacred Benchmark Project.

Although Amanda was an eyewitness in this series of events, with the Red-haired Knight Captain's brain, it would be wishful thinking to expect her to extract any useful information from her experience. After Zhou Ke told her this information, Amanda felt confused and felt that her experience in Time Maze No. 11 was all fake!

Why the hell, we all fight the same monsters, challenge the same BOSS, and go through the same bad things. How come you can figure out the cause and effect of this series of events, while I'm like a big fool who skips the plot when I encounter it and ends up knowing nothing after completing the dungeon?

However, after getting married, Amanda also had her own "external brain", so she looked at Moni beside her in a daze.

Moni was smoking as melancholy as before, like a perverted lunatic who shot and killed his grandfather by mistake. But this moment he squinted his eyes with a gleam in them, and it was obvious that he was frantically thinking about the cause and effect.

Zhou Ke confirmed that his good brother had enough intelligence to process this complex information, so he did not disturb Moni's thinking.

It was not until nearly ten minutes later that Moni raised his head and said in a hoarse voice:
"So, the predecessor of the Acholi Consortium was actually a group that served the Sacred Benchmark Project? They followed Old Acholi from the main timeline to the branch timeline, and with the help of the disaster caused by the Fetal Movement Moon, they entered the power center of this timeline in a very short time?"

"Well, when the Time Lost created this time branch, the time here was still in the middle of the 22nd century. There was no civilization prosperity brought by the Eternal Seven, nor had they experienced the Golden Age. They were almost defeated in the face of the Demon War caused by the Fetal Moon.

If the Acholi Consortium had not appeared in time, this world would have been finished eight hundred years ago.

From this point of view, the Acholi Group is indeed the savior of this timeline, but things took a sharp turn for the worse afterwards.”

Zhou Ke shrugged and said:

"I guess you're wondering why the records of the old civilization don't match the real history. That means we have to mention the historical confusion caused by that damn time editing. The Acholi Consortium used some kind of mind-correction technology to directly replace the history of the main timeline here.

But in fact, the technology tree of our branch timeline 01 has never reached the level of historical records.

Even this Eden Space Station was built before the fall of Doomsday with the assistance of the Acholi Consortium, and the technical specifications used came directly from the main timeline. "

"What about the Mars colony?"

Moni asked:

"Is that place fake too?"

"Well, that's not the case. Before the first experiment of the Sacred Baseline Project failed, the local natives, I mean the residents of Branch Timeline 01, also wanted to come up with their own way to save the world. Although the people from the main timeline didn't think they could do it, they had to give people a chance to try.

If you don't let them step into some traps, they will think you are not honest. People are so mean. "

Zhou Ke spread his hands and explained:

"The Mars colony was their strategy. They tried to rebuild civilization on Mars and immigrate as many people as possible there. Old Taft remembered that the continuous launch of spacecraft from the surface during the period before the fall was the aftermath of that action.

But unfortunately, they lasted less than five years on Mars before retreating to the Garden of Eden.

There were one million people when they left, but less than a hundred thousand were left when they came back. A large number of intelligent robots were abandoned on Mars. The stupid psionicist from Jiubang was fooled by the rebellious intelligent robots using this reason.

The remaining traces of human activity there are currently very quiet, but we cannot guarantee that once humans land on Mars, it will not stimulate a second outbreak of Chaos Demons.

Therefore, at present, any aircraft is strictly prohibited from approaching Mars, and Eden also maintains minimum observation and vigilance there.

I heard this information from Han Bin, who was just bragging about it. As the governor of the Garden of Eden, he knew everything about these things.

Combined with what your grandfather said before he died, he is most likely one of the senior project executives who came here from the main timeline with the Sacred Benchmark Project. I suspect that all the current consortium directors and their trusted confidants are basically of this background.

Just like Wu Qinhu and Snake Man, they experienced an interference of memetic power on their thinking, which caused memory problems.

But as long as they come to the Garden of Eden to undergo correction, the memories of the past will be brought back, and then they will face this difficult choice. "

Zhou Ke spread his hands and said:

"I think 99% of these people would not choose to stay in this shithole world, so they feel that everything in the Bad Land is a 'burden' to them. Although as far as I know, the situation in the main timeline is also very bad, at least they can still fight back and forth with the demons, but here there is completely no hope.

Now, your grandfather, a man with a strong sense of humanity, has given you the choice to go back or stay. It’s up to you.”

"The prerequisite for making a choice is that their experiment must be successful!"

Moni rubbed his cheek painfully and sighed:
"Let's not talk about Old Acholi. You just said that Han Bin's experimental plan can ensure a 100% success rate?"

"Yes, that's what he promised. I also believe in that damned Abin's technological capabilities. If he said it would definitely succeed, then he's probably not lying."

Zhou Ke said:
"Now I'm using Han Chuer's matter to hold him back. As long as I don't 'record' Han Chuer, he won't be able to act. But this is not a long-term solution. People like Abin have faith! He has always believed that the chaos in the branch timeline is due to the evil they did in the past, so he has a kind of stubborn persistence in resisting the invasion of chaos.

If I push him too far, he might actually make the horrible decision to sacrifice his daughter to save his future."

"But if that idiot Han Bin did this, doesn't it mean that our world is doomed?"

Amanda screamed:

"He clearly stated that once the Sacred Baseline Project is launched and connected to the main timeline, Branch Timeline 01 will disappear in the time collision!"

"Then just disappear into thin air. What? You've been hanging around in this shithole since you were born and raised, and now that you have a chance to escape from it and go to a better world, you hesitate?"

Dick looked at Amanda in surprise and complained:

"Is this stupid world good to you? Is it worth your time to waste time hesitating whether to give it up? Or do you have no confidence in your own charm? Do you think Moni will not take you with him when he leaves?

Do not be silly!
You are the woman who can become the mother of his child!
Even if he kicks me, his good brother, out of the Garden of Eden, he will definitely leave you a seat on the Ark of Doom."

"But the Snake State"

Amanda wanted to refute, but D-4 shook his head and said:
“The Garden of Eden is big enough. In fact, according to Governor Han Bin’s order, this group of service personnel will be sent back to the surface after their service ends next month. That means more than 700,000 to 800,000 people will be sent back, which means that at least 700,000 positions will be vacant in the Garden of Eden.

Not to mention Snake State, it would be more than enough to bring all the consortium staff in the entire city-state area.

Starting from seven days later, the cargo aircraft will maintain a rate of one flight per day to continuously send people down and pick people up. Each trip will be fully loaded. Only with such transportation efficiency can we ensure that the final essence of the power of branch timeline 01 can be taken away before the start of the Sacred Benchmark Project.

Don't worry, Amanda, you have the privilege!
In this case, because of the ticket that Moni currently inherited, you could just write everyone you know on that form, marked as 'immediate family'.

Governor Han Bin will not try to offend Zhou Ke on this matter."

"Privilege. I hate that word!"

Amanda complained:

"But to be honest, if it is the current situation, I really can't refuse this power, but... But weren't we still planning to burn the Garden of Eden before? Didn't you and the Evil Vulture advance this plan to the final stage of implementation?"

"Well, this is the choice I face."

Zhou Ke smiled strangely. He enjoyed the experience of having different choices in important matters, so he leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and nodded at Moni and Amanda, saying:
"But after all, this is a choice related to the end and conclusion of Branch Timeline 01, so I still hope to get some advice from my dearest and most trusted companions. So, tell me, Moni and Amanda.

Do you want this cesspool to be blown up while you can guarantee the safety of yourself and your family?"

Facing Zhou Ke's question, Moni and Amanda looked at each other. The red-haired knight spoke quickly, but she did not give an answer but just asked back:
"You're sure you can't take everyone with you, right?"

"Yes, someone has to stay here as a 'necessary sacrifice', but on the bright side, this timeline was opened up, Amanda."

Zhou Ke rubbed his chin and explained:
"It was artificially developed. Before the time-lost people tried to branch time, it didn't exist at all! In other words, its destruction is just a return to the state of 'nothingness'.

I hope this explanation can reduce the psychological pressure on you when making decisions.

At least that’s what Abin explained to me. I suspect he was making a sarcastic remark about my scientific knowledge.”

"This is not fair!"

Amanda shook her head and said:

"It was the 'Time Loser' who, under the lure of Chaos, brought the disaster of the Fetal Movement Moon to the branch timeline 01. Old Acholi and his men came here to occupy the nest in order to find a way to save the main timeline.

This disaster was originally caused by them, and after the initial natural disaster, there were frequent man-made disasters!
These are fucks straight from the Twinkle Light Organization!
It's their fault that our world has become what it is now, and after causing trouble here, they finally found a way. Now they can just walk away under the banner of 'saving', and even find a way for them to go home at the cost of sacrificing this timeline!
Why?
I want to ask on behalf of my world, why do they get all the good things?"

"You're almost there!"

Moni grabbed his indignant wife by the shoulders and pulled her down. He said quietly:
"Don't forget, Snake Man also came from the main timeline. Even if I wasn't there, Snake Man would definitely take you with him when he left. Moreover, you were not even born when he came here. You have never experienced the most painful time in this world. Your seemingly righteous speech now is just empty talk.

Alas, now I understand why my grandfather was so determined to force me to kill him after I punctured his fantasy.

He is a man with a conscience.

Like Amanda said, he couldn't stand the fact that he got a good ending after all the shit he did in the branch timeline.

Unfortunately, in these last days, having a conscience means suffering.

Zhou Ke!

Don't play such tricks. You know that people like Amanda and I are not qualified to participate in something that determines the direction and destination of the world.

We can’t give you any valuable advice, so if you insist, I’ll tell you.”

Moni let out a long sigh. He looked at the blood-stained golden ID card in his hand and the key to the Panis mansion in the inner ring of the Garden of Eden. He took the lighter from Amanda and lit a cigarette for himself.

In the rising smoke of irritation, he said:

"I listen to you! You can do whatever you want. We will follow you to the end. We will not choose Old Acholi or Han Bin! We are not familiar with them and we fought them to death before.

We don't have your wisdom to find a way out in this complicated situation, so we should trust the guidance of a higher wisdom than us.
I'm not joking and I'm deliberately flattering you, Zhou Ke.

You are the backbone of our gang. Now it's time for you to play your leadership role. There is no need to ask for our opinions. Just tell us what you think should be done and then act!

OK? "

"Ah, such a heavy trust is really flattering."

Zhou Ke flicked his tongue and said:
"But it's always a good idea to ask for advice before you lead others into the abyss. It's a matter of etiquette. This fucked-up world is fucked up enough without allowing our moral standards to continue to decline.

But since you said so, I can't shirk my responsibility. Okay, I'll notify you two when the action is taken.

Just relax and have fun in the Garden of Eden for the time being, and treat every day as if it were your last. The next spacecraft will arrive in fifteen days. You two should go back to the surface first and send some messages back for me.

I myself will stay here for a while longer.

We'll meet again when you leave, and we'll talk about other things then. Oh, by the way, Moni, I want to borrow your wife.
Don't make that damn look!

I need Amanda's elemental ability to help me install some things that Wu Neng asked me to install in certain places in the Garden of Eden, which will be helpful for our subsequent operations."

"You don't have to explain, Zhou Ke."

Moni pouted and said:

"If any other man dared to touch my wife, I would break every bone in his body with my own hands, but if it was you, well, I would probably smile and offer you two drinks by the bed."

"You are so disgusting! You are a beast who killed your grandfather with your own hands. My girlfriend is watching you. What nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe that she will throw out a combat knife to cut off your penis and put it into your X-eye?

get out! "

"Well, Mr. Zhou Ke, if you really want to taste Ms. Amanda, then I also..."

"Shut up you shrimp-headed robot girl!"

"Oh, okay."

------

D-4 drove the aircraft "borrowed" from Han Bin to send the Monnies back to the Panis mansion. Because of the accidental death of old Mooreson, the mansion was bound to suffer a wave of "purge".

But this has nothing to do with Zhou Ke, and he has no interest in participating in Moni's efforts to renovate his mansion.

After dropping the person off, he and D-4 drove the Archon's aircraft recklessly throughout the inner ring city, violating at least seven dangerous driving behaviors not allowed in the Garden of Eden at three intersections. However, the security drones seemed to have seen nothing and would not step forward to stop the Archon's vehicle.

This thing is basically completely immune in the judicial system of the Garden of Eden.

To put it more seriously, Zhou Ke would not have to bear any responsibility if he drove this aircraft and killed someone on the street. Of course, the aircraft was not a hovercraft. This thing usually flew directly from the starport in the space area outside the Eden section. In theory, it was impossible for it to kill pedestrians.

"Consul Han Bin invited us to stay at his manor tonight. He told us not to feel any psychological pressure. After Han Chuer went to the surface, the manor has been vacant for a long time anyway."

D-4 said to Zhou Ke, who had already begun to doze off in the co-pilot seat:

"But we also have the key to Little Acholi's estate, so."

"Go to little Acholi."

Zhou Ke waved his hand and said:
"I just can't get close to Abin. Who knows if there are any strange things hidden in his manor. Little Acholi is at least one of us. If we are lucky, we might see a 'ghost' there.

Well, to be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it.

If a big shot like old Acholi who is elusive also has the habit of "sleepwalking", then we will really make a fortune this time in the Garden of Eden."

"However, Han Bin said that he would design a set of equipment specifically for you to extract the eternal sample in your spirit."

D-4 said with some concern:

"Given his position and Han Chuer's current situation, I'm really worried that he will use some... Hmm?"

The robot girl turned around in surprise and saw Zhou Ke had fallen asleep on the passenger seat.

He slept so sweetly that he even snored softly, and it seemed that after escaping from the cesspool of the surface world, the pressure in his heart had dissipated a lot.

D-4 sighed, reached out his hand and gently stroked Zhou Ke's cheek, then sent a strong electric current from his fingers to try to wake Zhou Ke up, but as expected, the other party was sleeping like a dead pig and had no reaction.

This is certainly not normal.

The robot girl pressed a switch on the aircraft, and after a moment, Han Bin's voice came from the other end:
"what's up?"

"Mr. Zhou Ke's consciousness seems to have been dragged into the spiritual world by some external object. I initially suspect that it may be interference from the Chaos Party."

D-4 said calmly:

"Can you come up with any solution? If not, I will have to take emergency action and take my master on a dangerous 'solo atmospheric penetration' operation."

"Bring him here!"

Abin said:
"I'll prepare the test equipment. Sigh, you're such a troublemaker."
