Point of difference doom

Chapter 143 Amazing rewards of defense mode

Old Zhou Baiyu was a little surprised, because he seemed to hear the voice-over of another himself.

As for Xinzhou Baiyu, his expression gradually became serious:

"I have been thinking that the moment you appear, it means that you have traveled through time and come to a certain moment that you have experienced..."

"Then logically speaking, you should also see another you at this moment."

"But you haven't encountered it, right? It's precisely because you haven't encountered it that you don't know that the source of pollution will grow rapidly later, so that it will become a scourge with great influence."

"So...in order to prevent the impact of this disaster and return everything to the beginning, you chose to use your privileges."

"That is to say, in your 'history', there is always only you."

Old Zhou Baiyu nodded, and he immediately understood what new Zhou Baiyu wanted to express.

This sounds a bit convoluted, but it is one of the many "bugs" in the time loop.

It's like using a mirror to look at another mirror, instantly forming an endless cycle.

If the old Zhou Baiyu meets the new Zhou Baiyu, then in Zhou Baiyu's "history", he will meet himself once.

If he had met himself, he would not have allowed Ryan to become bigger and stronger. Naturally, he would not have used his privileges to go back to the past.

This is the paradox.

This paradox is likely to create a closed loop with no starting point and no end.

But until Xinzhou Baiyu heard those words——

Sister Lin asked us to meet each other after completing the mission.

At that moment, combined with old Zhou Baiyu's experience, new Zhou Baiyu understood the essence of the matter.

Listening to the new Zhou Baiyu's speech, the old Zhou Baiyu also roughly understood what he meant at this moment:

"Yes, I have been hiding and not showing up, not daring to influence history... I always thought this was a real time travel, but now I know that everything is still affected by 'us'."

Xinzhou Baiyu smiled:

"You should shave off your beard. Then I will like this feeling more. The feeling of communicating with myself is really great. It cannot be said to be a tacit understanding, it is simply a connection between the two minds."

After he finished speaking, he sat on the ground.

Old Zhou Baiyu nodded and sat on the ground.

He had to admit that communicating with himself was a very worry-free and effortless thing.

Both of them spoke to the point.

Both of them understood the essence of time travel - it was recruitment.

Yes, this is not time travel.

Just like every recruitment in the advance world that I have participated in before.

For example, Anya on the doomsday cruise ship, many forerunners have experienced Anya's timeline.

But the forerunners did not meet at the same time, because the recruitment was equivalent to a parallel world copy.

In the end, what can be anchored and become real history is the one that has the best impact on mankind.

It's actually the same this time. The reason why old Zhou Baiyu didn't meet an "older" Zhou Baiyu at a specific time is because essentially...

He just came with a new copy.

And when the impact in this copy is more beneficial to mankind than the original result...

Then the copy will overwrite the original reality and become the new reality.

This is a new time-travel mechanism constructed by the new god "The God of Games and Entertainment" that is not affected by the old god "The God of Time and Space".

The more we rely on time, the more beneficial it will be to the lineage of the Old Gods.

Despite the arrogant words of the God of Games and Entertainment, he once threatened to turn the old gods into game props in the War of the Gods.

So much so that it quickly became a rule, but in the New Gods, it is indeed a very powerful existence.

Of course, this rule was obviously used by the old gods. That’s why so many forerunners came and went in and out of a bunch of timelines...

There are no bugs in the world.

Old Zhou Baiyu suddenly understood the deeper thoughts of new Zhou Baiyu.

New Zhou Baiyu also patted Old Zhou Baiyu on the shoulder at this time and said with a smile:

"Can you first tell me what impact this pollution source has had? What have you experienced?"

Old Zhou Baiyu began to talk about his experience at that node.

After Xinzhou Baiyu heard the whole story, he gradually became a little wilted:

"So, do you have an answer to that question now that you have thought about it?"

"When the person we're trying to save isn't worth saving."

"Actually, when I rang the bell, I had thought about this question, but I secretly changed a concept, so I could make a decisive move. But I still didn't think clearly about the answer to that question."

Old Zhou Baiyu shook his head and said:

"I have been dormant here for a long time, trying my best to eliminate my presence every day and not let anyone notice. Fortunately, I have a special physique, so most humans hate me and are too lazy to pay attention to me."

"I thought about it for a long time during this process, and I don't know if this is the answer."

Xinzhou Baiyu said:

"All ears."

After a slight pause, Lao Zhou Baiyu said slowly:

"I love this world, but I have to accept its bad sides."

"No more?"

"No more."

Baiyu is silent in the new week.

He originally thought that the answer would be very long, but perhaps he was responding to the principle of simplicity. Old Zhou Baiyu had thought about the question "is it worth saving" for so long, but the answer turned out to be such a simple sentence.

They are essentially the same person.

So Xinzhou Baiyu also quickly showed a relieved smile:

"Thank you, I seem to understand."

Hibernating in this city full of strange stories for more than half a year, old Zhou Baiyu lived like a tramp, and no one cared about the tramp's behavior.

He always observed the city calmly, and later discovered...

In his own world, people were distorted by Ryan's sincerity and deprived of the ability to identify lies, so what he saw was the pure crushing of honest people by those who could lie.

There are examples of this in reality, but in reality, it is precisely because people have the ability to identify lies and the ability to lie...that we understand more and more that lies cannot be abused.

The existence of lies happens to be the cornerstone of "sincerity".

What Ryan did was hollow out the foundation stone, causing the entire world to fall rapidly.

He deprives people of their power to realize "evil".

Because extreme good will bring about extreme evil. It is precisely because people can realize evil that they can understand the true value of good.

Old Zhou Baiyu said:

"It's not like mom and dad don't know that there is another... evil side in us that is a little bit extravagant."

"But they won't think that this child is not worthy of love or saving."

"It is precisely because we are constantly made aware of the horror of evil that when that person jumped down and hit us in front of us, we felt that it shouldn't be like this..."

"So the side of us that escapes evil will slowly fade away from evil and become those notes in our eyes that escape from coquettishness."

"This is how they redeem us, this is the meaning."

"Okay. I understand. Let's do it." Xinzhou Baiyu said.

Old Zhou Baiyu was puzzled:

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

New Zhou Baiyu is still smiling:

"I actually understand the essence of this time travel. It is not a time travel in the true sense, but after the recruitment... I have been doing ideological work for myself."

Seeing such a smile, Old Zhou Baiyu became serious. He said coldly:

"I'm not a saint, so neither are you."

"This sentence is also true in reverse. Of course, I am indeed not a saint. But this is a recruitment, and I understand Anya's mood at that time."

What is it like for a person with the characteristics of a great speaker to be emotionally aroused by someone who also has the characteristics of a great speaker?

The outcome of the process between Zhou Baiyu and Zhou Baiyu was...the death that should have been resisted by both of them, but neither of them chose to resist.

Xinzhou Baiyu doesn't want to die, but is prepared to disappear.

Old Zhou Baiyu didn't want to die, but the moment he made the call, he was already prepared to disappear.

It's just that their reasons are different.

New Zhou Baiyu's reason is that old Zhou Baiyu has experienced more than himself and thinks more deeply. Old Zhou Baiyu has already found the answer to the questions he has not found.

Facing the new gods' tricks in the future, Lao Zhou Baiyu can stick to his true heart even more.

And the most important thing is that at this time, Xin Zhou Baiyu's self-perception is like Anya on the doomsday cruise ship.

He considered himself part of the call-up.

And old Zhou Baiyu is the real passer.

"There is no reason. You have carried things that I have not carried, you have suffered costs that I have not borne, and you have witnessed tragedies that I have not witnessed... and then you die and I live, right?"

"Actually, this is not a difficult thing to accept. Just like Anya, she realized that she was the boss in a certain instance. You see, this is recruitment. Before you appeared, I was able to establish contact with the transfer station.

"

"But after you showed up, I suddenly realized that I can no longer enter the transfer station."

Old Zhou Baiyu said nothing.

He was just thinking.

If, if there is a more mature and rational self, come to replace myself...

So can he accept it calmly like Xin Zhou Baiyu?

After gradually understanding Sister Lin's words, old Zhou Baiyu also struggled in his heart.

Of course he wants to survive, of course he wants to continue saving the world and continue exploring the doomsday.

If it were another person, he might not risk his life in exchange.

But that person is myself...it seems acceptable.

But deep down in my heart, there is always some regret and reluctance.

But unexpectedly, this new Zhou Baiyu was willing to let the old one continue to live without any lobbying?

Xinzhou Baiyu said:

"I am not a saint, nor am I an extreme intellectualist, but I understand one thing... There has been no clearance evaluation in the second round of defense mode. This shows that the choice between us affects the final result."

"And we all know that the more beneficial the situation is to mankind, the higher the rating and the better the reward."

"So it's obvious that it's best if you survive. The second round of defense mode is the New God's way of playing with people's hearts, and it's also a challenge to you."

"But you solved this problem. I'm different. I just heard your answer, but I didn't experience your process."

"What if I get confused one day in the future? At that time, I may make a big mistake. I may arrogantly think that some people are not worth saving. Maybe... from that moment on, I will be a source of pollution."

"But you won't. So if you survive, you are the one with the highest score."

"Zhou Baiyu, this is also my choice as a 'teammate'."

Is this who I am?

Old Zhou Baiyu looked at new Zhou Baiyu and had to admit that the combination of the Sixth Sense player and the great speaker made him almost unable to resist.

He thought that the moment he killed Ryan, he was getting further and further away from the hero.

In other words, at the moment when the bell rings and the happy kingdom of countless people is destroyed, the hero becomes further and further away.

But looking at this moment, in that sense of time, two weeks ago, he was able to make such a choice, he suddenly felt...

You can still chase some things yourself.

The scenery around the two people began to become blurry, and their figures were like statues made of gravel, dissipating little by little in the wind.

When the final decision finally comes. When the two finally reach a consensus...

This second round of defensive mode has finally come to an end.

"If it were another person, I would definitely disagree, but essentially you are me... Thinking about it this way, I can barely accept it."

Whether it is a real time travel or a conquest of the world, "I met me" will cause some unpredictable situations.

Xinzhou Baiyu was not a saint after all. When he realized that he was about to die... no, to be precise, he was about to be covered, he spoke more.

"Speaking of which, the world you were originally in was covered by a better 'answer'. Do you think it is possible that the covered world did not disappear, but was my destination?"

This was obviously a wrong guess, but Lao Zhou Baiyu did not deny it and even nodded.

This is like a kind of self-comfort, used to alleviate the fear of death, as if this covering is not death... but just going to another place.

Thinking about it this way, Xin Zhou Baiyu felt less afraid in his heart.

"I always feel that this time we may have found the essence of the existence of the three worlds?"

"Unfortunately, there is not enough time, but my doubts are your doubts, right?"

The scattered gravel made the figures of the two people distorted and blurred. The gravel began to reorganize bit by bit in the same twisted space.

Old Zhou Baiyu never spoke.

Why bother to answer yourself?

Everything is as Xin Zhou Baiyu said, your doubts are my doubts.

Fifteen minutes later.

Zhou Baiyu sat on the ground, touched his chin, and found that the beard had disappeared.

He was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

On the street, people are still shocked by various revelations, but they are no longer the same as before, believing whatever comes to them.

Because the revelations were too violent and the reality was too magical, people thought these revelations were made up.

The girl whose husband committed a crime not long ago was currently on the phone, explaining to her boyfriend that everything was a script and she was using it to test whether her boyfriend cared about her.

The woman who had been slept with by Ryan not long ago vomited in disgust as she recalled Ryan's lies.

A crisis has been resolved invisibly.

At the same time, due to the defensive mode, a large number of pioneers gathered in Linxiang City had prompts in their minds.

[The second round of defense mode has ended, the passer is Jiang Xianwu, the forerunner.]

This is what other forerunners saw.

The information Zhou Baiyu saw was more comprehensive——

[In this round of defense mode, we have seen more possibilities of human beings. Several interesting choices made us realize the irreplaceability of human beings. Forerunners, we look forward to you entering deeper areas of corruption, where there are still a lot of

Questions are waiting for you to explore.

The reward for clearing the defense mode is the Uncertain Key.

Additional rewards for this round of defense mode—privileges for self-selected versions.]

Zhou Baiyu was stunned.

Although he had guessed a certain possibility before, he was still pleasantly surprised when he actually saw the answer.

"Sure enough, as a believer of the God of Fun, you will win only if you dare to gamble!"

Zhou Baiyu laughed out loud.

When thinking about whether it is worth it, there is a very important reason - the privilege of choosing the version.

This could be an important opportunity to save humanity.

But the "few people" he used to save Linxiang City. Although many people died, and the unit was as huge as 10,000, both Sister Lin and Zhou Baiyu themselves knew very well...

Reversing the future for these people is somewhat of a waste.

But now, the defensive mode has made up for this opportunity.

And Zhou Baiyu also noticed a very crucial point. In our speech, there was this sentence: We realize the irreplaceability of human beings.

Does this mean that the tilt of the balance has reached a new stage. In the game of gods, humans will no longer be weakened blindly in subsequent versions, but will also be strengthened like the demons?

All of this is extremely beneficial to mankind.

This also made Zhou Baiyu feel relieved a lot. The question of whether it was worth it or not, at least judging from the result - it was worth it.

Finally, Zhou Baiyu began to examine the latest item in the item list - the Uncertain Key.

[Item name: Uncertain Key.]

[Specialty: Expensive. Durable - Unsure.]

[Introduction: This is a strange key because it has a strange owner-the God of Difference and Chaos.

Please remember that nothing is fixed. If you use this key to open the door of your house, it may lead you to Lao Wang's house next door.

If you use this key to open your childhood piggy bank, what you might see is the Musk family safe.

Of course, the above are all good things. There may not be so many good things in life. Using this key to open any door in the advance world may lead to a more twisted place.

But you should have guessed that it matches your self-selected version privileges very well, doesn’t it?]

[Status: Cannot be alienated.]

What the hell is durability uncertainty? With this key, except for the key itself which can be determined, everything else is uncertain?

Zhou Baiyu stared at the key, and based on the last sentence in the introduction, he probably guessed:

"It seems that this key can distort the facts, or broaden the boundaries?"

"Wait a minute, I was thinking before, if I chose a certain version, but it was transferred to an unrelated recruitment, wouldn't it be a big loss..."

"But now that I think about it, as long as I have this key, I can find the way to other recruitments in the current version from the irrelevant recruitments!"

Zhou Baiyu's eyes suddenly became bright.

Of course he realizes that this thing is a scam. Its durability is uncertain, which means that what he may have touched is an item with 0/0 durability.

It is also possible that it will become waste after one use...

Especially if you use this key to open the door, you may go to a place that you can't even stand.

But in any case, dog betting does not resist the unknown and possibility.

With this key, Zhou Baiyu wanted to see how much the key could break the rules.

It's like a nerd who got a new graphics card and can't wait to test it with games.

Zhou Baiyu can't wait to open the box in the advance world. This thing is used to open the door, and it is very likely that he will not know where to escape.

But it won't work when you use it to open boxes. You may get other drafted versions of props.

Suddenly, he was so looking forward to the countdown coming.

In recent chapters, there is indeed a problem with the rhythm. I stand at attention after being beaten~ But what can I say, I am still exploring some more pleasing writing methods and rhythms. I may hit a wall in some places. Please feel free to comment. Thank you for your tolerance. I will take my time in the future.

Adjust and write as detailed as possible~
