"I'm not dead."

"Yes, you're not dead."

Why am I not dead?!

Faced with Faust's roar, Bai Miao spread his hands: "This was also within Noah's calculations."

"Damn it, on his ship, I can't even die?"

Faust looked at Bai Miao: "Why don't you try killing me and see what happens?"

Bai Miao shook his head: "Since Noah anticipated that you would commit suicide, didn't he know the possibility that you would be killed by someone else? You are already bound to this ship."

After a brief period of madness, Faust surprisingly fell into a state of absolute calm.

He had realized that he could not escape Noah's control, and that continuing his incompetent rage would only make him a laughingstock.

"Now I understand why you came back."

Faust sat on the ground: "Given even the slightest chance, I will destroy all of Noah's schemes."

"Since you've completed the 'Flying Towards the Sun' instance, you should also know that this instance is the urban cluster that Noah plans to build."

Faust lowered his head and said, “Your understanding of flying towards the sun is different from mine. I entered the instance where Noah existed only after I completed flying towards the sun. At that time, Noah’s Ark did not exist.”

At this point, Faust looked up at Bai Miao and asked, "Do you know where Noah's most despicable trait is?"

"How exactly is he a bastard?"

"I've also told you that Noah discovered the pattern of how the doors issued tasks. He used the doors to issue tasks, making the knockers work for him to complete the plans he wanted. The knockers even contributed a lot to the construction of Noah's Ark. In the end? He turned everyone into ministers, and I was the only one who retained the memories of when I was a knocker."

Bai Miao was startled: "The ministers' personality templates are made from real people? What about Emma?"

"Except for that secretary, who was the only one Noah built from scratch. Otherwise, why would he have spent so many years on her? Do you think it's easy to create a machine that can learn on its own, respond to external information, and has human emotions?"

"The minister is indeed quite unique... In that case, what was the process of flying towards the sun that you went through? Are you also going to join one of the Nine Suns?"

"It's not about joining the nine suns, it's about shooting them down. The brilliance of the nine suns is too dazzling. Yi shot down the nine suns, and all nine suns must be destroyed."

Bai Miao frowned: "What's the difference between that and destroying the entire metropolitan area?"

Faust grinned: "If I had known earlier that the metropolitan area was what Noah wanted to build, I would have sunk the entire landmass into the sea."

"I don't think I had the ability to confront an organization of the size of Nine Suns when I entered the journey to the sun."

"Of course you don't, but there are serious divisions within the Nine Suns. As long as you enter them, you can find their weaknesses and dismantle them from the inside out. Even so, it took me nearly two years to complete this mission. Flying Towards the Sun is less of a dungeon and more of a training exercise."

"After completing the trial, you will obtain a lock or key to unlock a new path."

At this point, Faust paused for a moment and asked, "Later, tell me, what difficulties did you encounter in the instance of flying towards the sun in your premonition? What kind of trouble did I cause you?"

Bai Miao replied warily, "If I told you, you would probably do as I say, because that would give you another chance to stop Noah."

Faust was somewhat disappointed: "Although I have never stopped wanting revenge on Noah, I am now thinking about whether I have a way to break free. Maybe if we cooperate, you can have a smooth journey in the future Sunrise and get everything you want, while I can get rid of Noah's control."

"You probably haven't worked with yourself before, have you? Each of us is a unique individual. When we all start to work together and share our information, the power we can unleash is definitely more than just one plus one equals two."

The pie in Faust's picture smelled delicious, as if his inner weakness had disappeared after he had attempted suicide once.

They wanted to rebel against Noah and thwart his plans.

Bai Miao originally thought that things would be easily resolved once he persuaded Faust to commit suicide.

But now that Faust realizes he can't even escape death, he will inevitably focus his attention on Noah's own schemes.

That is, the urban agglomeration that flies towards the sun.

"You know more about Noah than I do. What do you think Noah wanted?"

Faced with Bai Miao's question, Faust answered without hesitation: "He hates doors, he hates those who knock on them, so all his schemes are designed to create a hellish dungeon for those who knock, preferably one with a zero survival rate. In fact, the dungeon of finding the three components is already infinitely close to what he desires."

"An impossible mission, and the most cruel torture before death."

"From this perspective, the difficulty of flying towards the sun is not even as great as this instance."

Bai Miao also joined in the analysis: "Flying Towards the Sun might be a derivative instance after we complete this instance. In fact, even Noah himself didn't expect that someone could complete it?"

"No, Noah must have considered all the possibilities. He considered the possibility that the copy he set up would be completed, but what happened next... how could anyone have imagined things tens of thousands of years from now?"

"But 'Towards the Sun' was indeed created, and it's a very difficult game; the urban area environment is terrible."

Faust agreed: "Indeed, the metropolitan area is terrible."

“The urban area is in such a bad state, which is probably what Noah wants to see. If it were too good and there were no dangers, the knockers who come in could take their time to complete their tasks.”

"so what?"

"The urban area is getting worse, and you are partly to blame. Conversely, what you should be doing is creating a good environment for those knocking on the door to enter the instance, instead of acting according to Noah's ideas."

Faust pondered Bai Miao's suggestion carefully, nodding and then shaking his head.

"Whenever a captain summons me because he failed to complete a mission, I can't suppress my murderous intent towards him. This should also be evidence that I am being controlled by Noah."

"You can kill them, but you also need to give some hints to those who come after you, or rather, to us who come after you. Only when we can complete this instance can it move on to the next stage as quickly as possible. And in this process, you need to provide some positive guidance to make the subsequent development more suitable for the knockers to survive."

Faust murmured, “That makes sense… Although I know you probably did this to make things easier for yourself later, from Noah’s perspective, making things easy for you, and for the knocker, in the instance is not what he wants to see.”

After saying that, he stood up: "In any case, your arrival is a pleasant surprise for me. You have given me some new perspectives, and I am very grateful."

Bai Miao laughed and said, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you tell me about the lock and key, and all the parts you think might be tricky?"

Faust laughed too: "I can never reconcile with myself. I have killed too many of myself and heard too many stories about myself. I envy every single one of them."

At this point, he stared intently at Bai Miao: "And you are the one I envy the most. You actually managed to enter the door that originally belonged to Xia Hong Hu Tao, and enjoy all the benefits brought by Aleph-level items ahead of time. I don't need to guess to know that you have already received an official invitation, and even the pilot academy prepared for knockers has opened its doors to you, right?"

Faust gritted his teeth: "When I heard that Zhao Wanyang had actually been admitted to Peking University after the college entrance examination, do you know how shocked I was? With her level, she shouldn't have been able to get in. Later I realized that she had already become a knocker, and this was her privilege as a knocker."

"How is Zhao Wanyang doing on your line?"

"died."

Faust shrugged: "I was screwed over by that bitch Zhao Ling. Everyone in the team died, except for me. My attribute points were also deducted to the bottom, so I have to start from scratch."

"It's really amazing that you were able to talk to me so calmly for so long."

Faust's tone was weary.

"One thing at a time."

“I envy you, but I also admire you. I have also gained ideas from you that may break my constraints. If we can meet again in the future, I hope that we can break the shackles set by Noah together.”

"Until you get the key, our enemies are the door and the creatures inside it."

"That's enough, Bai Miao. You've achieved your goal of coming here. I'll help you optimize the subsequent dungeons and reduce their difficulty."

Faust waved his hand, turned and walked out of the porthole, seemingly not intending to continue the conversation.

"Is it resolved...?"

Bai Miao is uncertain, but with Faust's help, Emma probably won't go to any extremes.

Chapter 226 Guidance

At exactly two o'clock in the morning, Kaguya and Emma rushed into the captain's cabin. Seeing Bai Miao cleaning up the mess, Emma called out, "Captain... I can clean up these things. Please let Kaguya check them for you first."

"I'm fine. I've taken care of most of the things that needed to be taken care of."

"So that means you're leaving, right..."

Bai Miao walked up to Emma, ​​hesitated for a moment, and then placed his hand on Emma's head.

"I am just a phantom existing in the past, and every time I accompany someone, it is time-limited."

Kaguya watched silently from the side, knowing exactly how Emma felt at that moment.

What could be more heartbreaking than parting ways?

If possible, everyone would want the captain to stay on the ark forever.

But that is impossible.

Emma asked somewhat helplessly, "Why did you create me? Why did you give me such rich emotions?"

"All I need is a machine to complete the tasks you set up."

Bai Miao also couldn't understand why Noah designed Emma this way.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Noah hoped that Emma would be completely the opposite of him.

Only in this way could the curse he inflicted on the knocker continuously give him the pleasure of revenge.

"The curse of the sea makes pure machines only malfunction, so I had no choice but to design you to have human emotions."

Bai Miao sighed: "But actually, I also have some regrets. For you, this will be tens or hundreds of thousands of years of torment. This ship will be your prison."

"No... I didn't mean to blame you..."

Emma quickly apologized.

"You don't need to apologize. I gave you emotions of anger, joy, and sorrow, and I also gave you the corresponding rights. You can be dissatisfied with me, and you can feel angry. But I can't do this by relying on my own strength alone."

"I promise I will come back, and your suffering will not last forever."

Emma slowly took Bai Miao's hand: "I believe you."

Kaguya also came closer: "Captain, you're just too considerate of us. I'm used to this kind of thing, but the newcomer Emma is still having trouble accepting it. I'll have Nebeibivel talk to her and help her through it."

"You always appear at crucial moments. All we have to do is wait patiently and believe that one day we can end this journey."

This is a journey that even steel and machinery find distant.

It was the prison Noah used to torture everyone.

If we really have to attribute all of this to one person, that person can only be Noah.

"Yes... one day this journey will come to an end."

One day, I will put an end to all of this.

Bai Miao also made a decision in his heart.

If there is an opportunity in the future, we must eliminate this problem from its root.
