Did the world end today?

Chapter 222 Our Own Butterfly?

Lin Xu felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth about the Correctors organization.

But at the same time, he seemed to have taken a step further away from the truth of "doomsday" and "the world".
-
No, it can't be said to be far.

Before that, the truth about the apocalypse and the world was like a mountain shrouded in thick fog.

I only know that it is tall, but I don't know exactly why it is tall.

Now, as the fog gradually dissipates, Lin Xu is increasingly aware of the mountain's rugged and precipitous nature.

Ayana is the butterfly of this world.

Their judgment is most likely based on Ayana's "personalities that connect to other worlds".

If that's the case...
Is the personality composition of Ayana the same in every world?

Judging from the current situation, her personality in this world does indeed have similarities to the personality she has in her main world.

but.
This is most likely just a coincidence.

Because in this world, Ayana's "personality development" was not actively guided by Zhou Yue.

After entering the higher-dimensional channel, her "reception" of personalities should be random.

This raises a new problem.

Do the people here possess genuine methods to proactively guide her in acquiring personality and information?
Maybe there is.

Perhaps they haven't reached the point of complete mastery yet.

But they should already have some ideas.

Because the Error Correctors have been researching Ayana for several years!
It's impossible that they haven't made any progress!
Lin Xu suddenly felt a chill.

He suddenly understood what the massacre of butterflies was all about.

Butterflies are indeed used for rollbacks, but their focus is on Ayana.

They believed they had mastered a better method.

Through Ayana's lengthy personality regression, they can also obtain a great deal of information.

They even believed that butterflies could provide them with more information than butterflies.

Therefore, they do not allow interference from other factors.

For example, pollen.

If my speculation is correct, then all the logic will become clear.

The error correctors discovered Ayana's anomaly as the "Goddess of Memory" by chance. Through their research on Ayana, they discovered information about "butterflies" and "pollen," but they did not have a complete grasp of this information.

In further research, they suddenly discovered that Ayana's personality memories came from another completely unknown world.

At first, they thought it was memory confusion or personality disorder caused by higher dimensions.

But it is quite possible that Ayana provided crucial information during one of those attempts.

It could be technical information or information about events.

In short, she thoroughly proved her uniqueness.

And so, she was regarded as the butterfly of this world.

She pointed the way for the world's development driven by those who correct mistakes, although these directions are not necessarily correct.

What should I do?
If the world is allowed to continue down the wrong path, the final result will be that the butterfly will appear at the last moment before the end of the world, taking the information and carrying the entire world back to its own Destiny Stone world.

However, those who correct the errors believe this is unfair.

So they created the disturbance.

Disturbances can cause butterflies to arrive at any point in time.

As long as the butterfly appears before the apocalyptic crisis, the disruption it causes will restart its own world on a "longer timescale".

And people in this world will have more opportunities to adjust their course.

No one is right or wrong.

They do not deny the technological path brought about by pollen.

They only confirmed one thing: the technological approach brought about by pollen is almost certainly not going to save the world.

They believed that pollen existed for butterflies, while Ayana existed for themselves.

Hey!
At that moment, Lin Xu deeply felt the enormous changes in the world after the "piping effect".

In the first two worlds, humanity's understanding of higher-dimensional channels was limited, so even if they discovered Ayana's existence, the slow development of technology was insufficient for them to utilize Ayana.

Just like the Destiny Stone world I'm in now.

But now, with the development of technology, they have this opportunity.

Therefore, the contradictions between them, themselves, the world, and the butterfly are crystal clear.

Butterflies only need, and must only need, the final, stable hour, while they require unstable 10 or 20 years.

Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the interrogation of the armed man was still ongoing, but in his opinion, it was no longer of much significance.

There are 10 minutes left.

"Place!"

Lin Xu spoke to Qin Feng:

"I need Ayana's exact location!"

"No matter what method you use, you must find him!"

"You have 7 minutes left. I need to reserve at least 3 minutes to think things through and plan the next steps!"

"Already doing it."

Qin Feng answered in a deep voice.

At this moment, he was unaware of the conclusions Lin Xu had just drawn, and he was merely "cooperating" with Lin Xu, but not convinced by them.

But now, Lin Xu is completely confident that he can persuade Qin Feng.

Although he didn't need to say it.

However, Lin Xu felt that he should give him an explanation.

Then he said:
"I've just thought it through."

"The error correctors will not succeed—the essence of their plan is to keep restarting your world until they find the right path."

"Theoretically speaking, they still have a chance of success."

Lin Xu paused at this point.

Indeed, with Ayana as a key figure and tool to "cheat" their way to information, their chances of surviving the apocalypse were no longer one in ten thousand or one in a billion.

It's possible, perhaps one in ten thousand, or even one in a thousand.

But this is meaningless.

Because Lin Xu is very clear about this.

At this juncture, in countless dimensions and countless worlds, not a single world has yet survived the apocalypse.

Even if there is a world on a higher level that has already survived the apocalypse, it is beyond Ayana's reach.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu continued:
"The key to the problem lies in iteration."

"The world of Destiny Stones, where the butterfly resides, is an iterative development. I can absorb the failures of many different worlds in a short period of time, summarize them, and then deduce the correct path."

“However, Ayana is a ‘reboot,’ and after each reboot, you will forget your previous experiences.”

"Therefore, the snowball in this world will never get going; you can only rely on the 'one and only correct' path!" "That's the problem!"

"The answer that error correctors are looking for is unique, but the unique answer they believe in doesn't actually exist!"

"This answer can only be created by humanity in the 20 years leading up to the apocalypse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng paused in his movements.

When he looked at Lin Xu again, his eyes changed.

Create the answers, rather than trying to "find the answers".
This argument convinced him.

He didn't waste any words, simply giving a brief introduction:
"We have begun investigating this neuroscientist's network of connections."

"We have confirmed that their research network does indeed have nodes in Nanjing."

"Our people are on their way."

“If Ayana is there, we will definitely find her.”

"Do not."

Lin Xu shook his head.

"They've already been exposed, and they won't let that happen."

"Because if this happens, their entire plan will be destroyed."

"They will do everything they can to prevent me from getting the information."

"So, they're going to destroy all the organizations and all the people."

"I have a very terrifying idea right now."

"I don't know if it will come true."

But I still want to ask one question.

"In our world, the management of nuclear weapons should be quite strict, right?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment.

He understood what Lin Xu was talking about.

"rest assured."

Qin Feng spoke up:
"The management of weapons of mass destruction is more stringent than in any previous era of humankind."

"That's no problem."

Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, the "worst outcome" that I thought I hadn't happened.

Because, given his own thought process, the best way to cover up information is to muddy the waters as much as possible.

The best way to muddy the waters is not only to destroy yourself, but also to destroy the whole world.

Tsk.

I feel like these error correctors are capable of doing something like this.

"Then they probably can't do it."

"Their only option now is to stall for an hour until I leave on my own."

"We most likely won't be able to catch them."

"Because their organization is quite strong. I only have 10 minutes left. If I can't delay for an hour, surely I can delay for 10 minutes?"

"Alright, enough talk, just list out all the possible locations."

"Next time I come, I'll go find them one by one."

"clear."

Qin Feng quickly gave Lin Xu a series of addresses, and at the same time, the action team also gave feedback.

Just as Lin Xu had predicted, they had completed the transfer and erased all the information.

Nothing is left.

"All right."

Lin Xu glanced at his watch.

Only the last 2 minutes are left.

"My mission is complete, I have to go."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the next world, go to an earlier timeline."

"Although you may not remember it, I still want to say one more thing."

"Qin Feng, I've known you for a long time."

"I hope you can believe me."

"Being an enemy of those who correct mistakes is not because I selfishly want to save my world and ignore the world you live in."

"It's because there's a very high probability that they can't save your world, but there's a very high probability that I can."

"However, I need time."

"Only after a primary world has survived the apocalypse can I reach out and help you."

"If the error correctors continue to drag us down like this, even though they don't intend to oppose my main world, they will really drag everyone down with them."

"Okay, that's all for now."

How do I get to the rooftop?

Qin Feng was still immersed in Lin Xu's sincere yet heavy narration.

Upon hearing him ask "rooftop," Qin Feng's expression instantly turned somewhat strange.

"Come over here—what are you going to do?"

"nonsense!"

Lin Xu rolled his eyes.

"I want to go to an earlier timeline."

"Then of course I'd jump off a building!"

Qin Feng was speechless.

"There are only four floors here, so you might not necessarily die."

"Use this."
