Alien Relic Hunter.

As for the second illusion, it made Ke Lan further understand the stupidity and selfishness of human beings—those rebel organizations who chanted the slogan of equality for all, actually became the tools of the superiors, and spared no effort to destroy the human race. surviving hope.

Those attackers who thought they were "sacrificing their lives for righteousness" were actually just a group of incompetent and furious idiots. They would rather have everyone buried with them than watch a few "seeds" fly to the distant universe in an ark.

From a personal point of view, there is nothing wrong with having such emotions, but from the point of view of the entire race, these people are cancerous, "inferior individuals" that should be eliminated.

Such things as human rights are the product of civilized society. If even human civilization is facing the crisis of destruction, what is the point of such things?
Perhaps, the members of the Undead Crew Association look at those people on the ark now, and they use this kind of perspective... As long as human beings can survive, no matter how many people die, no matter how much they do, they will not have any problems. hesitate.

They don't care about the process, they only care about the result.

What human beings need is to unite as one, instead of offering their soul and body as sacrifices to "Him"...

Even if "He" did not deceive human beings, what is the difference between this approach and the "Human Completion Plan" in "EVA" that turns all human beings into orange juice?

The existence of every individual is meaningful, and human civilization is composed of countless such individuals... If the self-awareness of all people is erased, does the existence of civilization still have meaning?
The walking dead are not human beings, let alone a group of eclipses who only know how to follow the instinct of killing.

No matter how disappointed Ke Lan is with human beings and reality, it is impossible for him to pin his hopes on "Him".

After thinking about this point clearly, Ke Lan suddenly felt enlightened - Nieto created these illusions in order to disintegrate his own will, as long as he knew the other party's true purpose, then no matter how the illusion changed, the things in the illusion would remain the same It is difficult to have any influence on Ke Lan.

He suddenly thought of a way to break the situation.

"You can jump down, try it." Ke Lan said to the boy.

"What?" The boy's expression froze—according to the normal development of the plot, not only would the boy not listen to the words of such an "unknown" voice at this time, he would inevitably scold him for being crazy in his heart, but perhaps it was because he had already Already heartbroken, after the initial hesitation, he climbed over the guardrail with hands and feet and stood on the outer edge of the overpass.

The space for people to stand on the outer edge of the overpass is less than three inches wide. The boy can only step on the heels of his two feet, and most of the front soles of his feet are suspended. At this time, the whole person probably fell down.

The cold wind made the hair on the boy's forehead messy, and his breathing became short of breath. Looking at the passing traffic under the overpass, a struggling expression appeared on his face.

"Are you afraid?" Ke Lan asked, with a hint of a smile in his tone.

"Anyone...would be scared, right?" the boy said a little unconvinced.

"Since you are afraid of death, why seek death?"

"It's meaningless to live...I'm so disappointed in this terrible world." The boy closed his eyes forcefully, "I think there are many things wrong in this world, but I have no ability to change it...I I hate the world, and I hate myself."

"The sentence in your middle is right." Ke Lan laughed, "There are indeed many mistakes in this world, because it is not a real world at all."

"Are you still joking with me at this time?" The boy was a little annoyed, "I don't know why I heard your voice, and I have no interest in your pranks...but you're right, I really didn't go to it myself. The courage to jump down...can you push me from behind if you can? There are no surveillance cameras here and no one can see that you pushed me down."

"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Ke Lan refused the boy's request, "Your life should be in your own hands, even though, even you, are false."

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand!"

"Jump down, you won't die...you will see...the truth of this world." Ke Lan slowed down his speech, whispering in the boy's ears like a tempting devil. road.

"What exactly do you want to say, can you say it directly?" The boy wondered, "I don't know who you are, and I don't understand what you say. If you have any purpose, you can just tell me. I will consider it if I can help you during the time."

"As long as you are willing to help, I do have a small purpose." Ke Lan said... What surprised him was that although the boy suffered a lot of misfortunes, the kindness in his heart did not seem to be completely wiped out. My son's "goodness"...maybe it is the "key to breaking the situation" hidden in my heart.

"I'm trapped in this world." Ke Lan said truthfully.

"Are you making fun of me there?" The boy also laughed, his hands that were gripping the railing were loosened a little bit, and his body began to lean forward a little bit.

"I'm telling the truth." Ke Lan said in a very calm tone, "You trust me."

He used the declarative tone "You believe me", not "Don't you believe me?" or "Please believe me." Such a rhetorical or requesting tone.

This sentence, like a spell, made the boy's eyes change suddenly... In just a second, he seemed to be a different person. First he took two deep breaths, and then Using strength with both hands, he turned back to the back of the railing.

"I believe in you," the boy said, "so, what do I have to do?"

"Jump off the flyover." Ke Lan said, "but not with the will to die... Whether it's a flyover, a car or a road, they don't really exist."

"Okay." After the boy finished speaking, he put his hands on the railing and jumped over - this time, without any hesitation, he let go of his hands the moment he jumped over the railing, and the whole person fell to the bottom of the bridge in a free landing posture. fall.

Ke Lan's perspective also fell in parallel with him.

Just when the boy was about to hit the road, the smooth road suddenly began to twist, as if something heavy had fallen on an elastic film... The whole body of the boy sank into the ground. Falling, the asphalt road was stretched infinitely, and even the vehicles on the road were deformed accordingly.

This world is like a picture drawn on plasticine. When the plasticine is stretched, the whole world is also deformed.

"It's impossible..." Nieto's voice sounded in Ke Lan's ear again, with a hint of surprise that he had never felt before.

"Nothing is impossible... These illusions are pieced together from my memory fragments, so I should be the master here, not you." Ke Lan said.

The surrounding scenery began to become chaotic due to extreme distortion, and finally turned into pitch black. Then, a little light appeared in the darkness, and then became brighter and brighter.

"What's that?" The boy's consciousness didn't fade along with the illusion he was in. He was suspended in the darkness, looking at the light in the distance, and asked in surprise.

"Hope." Ke Lan replied.

This point of light began to expand, and the darkness was dispersed, only to see a huge ring-shaped star gate floating in the universe, facing the blue water star from afar.

"This is... Earth? Then this is..."

Countless spaceships the size of fingernails are located around the ring-shaped star gate, and in the center of the star gate, an extremely huge aircraft is fixed with a gravitational ring. This aircraft looks like a science fiction work It is the same as the flying saucer that often appears in the movie, but on the surface of the aircraft, the words "Noah's Ark" are written in both Chinese and English.

The light that the boy saw earlier was actually the light emitted by Noah’s Ark’s propellers after they were ignited. At this moment, the nine main propellers and 390 auxiliary propellers of Noah’s Ark have all been ignited, and the power of the reactor It is gradually improving, and the gorgeous fire is also becoming more and more brilliant.

The star gate is aimed at the unknown depths of the universe, and behind Noah's Ark, the star that humans call the "sun" is shining with a disturbing light - at the beginning, it was precisely because of the observation of this Scientists will assert that the sun is aging at an accelerated rate, and will expand to the point of swallowing the earth within 10,000 years.

And this kind of abnormal flickering that could only be observed once every six months or so, later became once every ten days, once an hour... and finally almost every 1 minute—and the estimated countdown to escape for human beings also changed from 10,000 years to 3000 years, then turned into 1000 years, and finally became less than 100 years.

It is a miracle that human beings were able to build Noah's Ark and this ring-shaped star gate in just a few decades... The flame ignited by the main thruster is completely worthy of everything contained in the word "hope" significance.

Although Ke Lan didn't give any explanation, at that moment, the boy already understood the ins and outs of everything. He opened his eyes wide and watched the accelerator device in the inner ring of the circular stargate begin to rotate, and murmured: "I hope... Humanity's hope..."

"The group of people in the Undead Crew Club only pursue the result, not the process." Ke Lan said to himself, "At least human civilization has not yet perished... Then everything before is right. As long as the chess game can continue If we go on, the final victory or defeat is still uncertain."

"But you can't approve of what they're doing, can you?" the boy asked over his shoulder.

The "they" in his mouth naturally refers to the Undead Crew Club.

As the protagonist of the illusion pieced together from Ke Lan's memory, he can naturally know everything Ke Lan knows.

"They only talk about the result, not the process. But I only talk about the future, not the past." Ke Lan said word by word, "There is no medicine for regret in the world, and I can't change what has happened, but I can at least To do well now and in the future, that's why I escaped from the ark and came to this place... I don't want to reverse anything, I just want to know the truth and make the right choice."

No matter how much the church suppresses the truth, science will eventually defeat ignorance; no matter how much those rebel organizations hinder the construction of the ark, the ark will eventually sail to a distant star field... Human history is indeed full of disappointments, but More, but hope.

At least, human beings have come to this point, and civilization still exists... instead of only fossils buried deep in the earth like the dinosaurs on the earth hundreds of millions of years ago.

"It's getting late." The boy looked at Ke Lan. Even though Ke Lan still had no entity at the moment, the eyes of the two sides met—he seemed to be able to see Ke Lan's silhouette in the dark universe. You can also find those invisible eyes, "You are right, the world is false, but hope is real... You should go back, you have more important things to do."

There was an explosion-like roar in the silent universe, and the thrusters at the bottom of the ark ejected hundreds of kilometers of tail flames. The entire ship turned into a stream of light and shot away from the sun, while the surrounding scene began to gradually fall apart.

The black universe fell like a black curtain, the twinkling stars went out like lights, and all the virtual things gradually faded from Ke Lan's eyes, replaced by the real scene in the jungle hunting ground.

Nieto still seems to be muttering something, but Ke Lan has completely cut off its voice, and any words from it can no longer be transmitted to Ke Lan's mind, just like someone banned by the administrator on the Internet. user same.

After confirming that he had returned to the real world, Ke Lan looked around immediately, and at the same time raised his wrist to glance at the mechanical watch—the good news is that the time in reality has only passed less than 10 minutes, and there is no powerful watch yet. Mutants have invaded this uninhabited area, but the bad news is that 33 still seems to be immersed in his illusion, unable to extricate himself.

Looking at 33, he seems to have encountered some terrible monster in the illusion. He held a Nino alloy hand ax in his hand, staggered back and forth in the forest, and kept swinging the ax, leaving one after another on the tree trunks. Hack marks.

But he was just slashing, and he didn't use his "main weapon", those black flying blades-it is estimated that in 33's illusion, he did not have this special ability to manipulate Nino alloy.

"33, wake up!"

Ke Lan stepped forward, trying to wake 33 up, but the other party struck Ke Lan's face with an axe.

Ke Lan could only choose to dodge, but 33 seemed to recognize Ke Lan, one ax after another, and continued to pursue——
