Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 491 The Past of Cenapus

People who don't have... wishes?
"It sounds a little unbelievable, but it is true." Daedalus stood on the edge of the island, quietly looking at the rest of the sky islands, "In the past, we had extremely advanced technology. We are the most intelligent life forms in the world. For entertainment, we have produced "artificial angels" according to our own appearance to serve us to the greatest extent. For the same purpose of entertainment, we have produced human beings. Without highly developed intelligence, we cannot Not as powerful as an artificial angel, just like other animals on the ground..."

"The original intention of creating human beings was just for fun, just like a child observing the life of ants under a tree, and occasionally throwing a little bread crumbs to the ants... We taught human beings how to use fire, build, and grow food …When necessary, we will control the weather to prevent people from dying in various natural disasters such as drought and flood, and the people on the ground at that time called us gods.”

"But once the novelty wears off, we soon get tired of it, so we stop focusing on humans and gradually forget about them." Daedalus said softly, "But how many years have passed, when we occasionally revisit When I turned my gaze to the ground, I found that the scale of human beings developed much faster and larger than we imagined. At that time, a huge empire had been established on the ground, and humans from all over the world gathered together. , and built a huge tower reaching the sky, their number is as many as a sea of ​​sand..."

"Babel Tower..." Lu Ye said the name.

"Yes, the name that people gave to that tower at that time was 'Babel,'" said Daedalus. The authors thought it was a provocation, but we didn't know it at the time, it was just a human concern."

"Worry?"

"Yes, when that tower was built, we had no intercourse with humans for six centuries," said Daedalus, "though However, we Sinapus survived among the people in the form of word of mouth, totems, books and paintings. The descendants of human beings thought we were in trouble, so they worked together to build a road leading to A giant tower in the sky."

"They want to make bricks, burn them thoroughly, use bricks as stones, and use stone paint as mortar." Daedalus said softly, "In this way, human beings began to build giant towers in a prosperous and prosperous country. Project. At that time, we were deeply outraged by the vanity and arrogance of human beings, and could not tolerate human beings offending our dignity, so... the massacre began.”

"Massacre?" Lu Ye froze for a moment.

"That's right, how many humans were there at that time...it must be about several million?" Daedalus said, "But in order to prevent humans from discovering where we are and from setting foot on this land, we The Cynapes decided to destroy it all, and Minos has always been a domineering man despite the opposition. So after this, the strongest weapon of Cynapes was dispatched, and she flew down from the temple , destroyed the entire human kingdom with his own power, and razed that prosperous city to the ground."

"Then what happened later...?" Lu Ye asked.

"After that massacre, the surviving humans no longer believed in us, so after a long period of reproduction, we were gradually forgotten by humans." Daedalus said, "But we didn't have any deep understanding of this. impression, because at that point in time... the 'Wish Machine' was complete."

"The wishing machine... is it the wishing machine I understand?"

"That's right, just like the literal meaning..." Daedalus turned his head and turned his gaze to the towering stone tablet engraved with words that Lu Ye didn't know. It was a really pleasant day when all my wishes came true...but it only lasted for a while."

"If any wish can be fulfilled... it means that there is no wish." Daedalus said with sadness in his tone, "No matter what you want to do, the Wishing Machine can help you realize it. In front of it, even our Cinna The high intelligence that the Pusi people are proud of is useless, and after this kind of life lasted for a while, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, and after a while, many tribesmen chose to commit suicide."

"Suicide?" Lu Ye was a little puzzled, "If I had a wishing machine, I could play it for a long time, and it would take at least 100 years before I got tired of it..."

"But at that time, the Xinapsi people had survived under the halo of the wishing machine for five centuries... The extremely developed material life brought a great spiritual emptiness, and Xinapsi welcomed The greatest disaster in history came, countless people chose to commit suicide because they lost the meaning of life, the population of the entire Synaps dropped sharply, and blood flowed like a river."

Already lived 500 years under the aura of a wishing machine?Lu Ye thought silently.

If that's the case... don't talk about finding the meaning and purpose of life, perhaps, living itself has become a meaningless thing...

"Survived... or those who did not choose to commit suicide continued to survive, living a repeated life, until one day, we discovered humans on the surface..."

"Wait, don't you have another round of bombing?"

Lu Yexin said that human beings cannot be exterminated just because you are going to die...

The previous group of humans had already died unjustly.Out of concern for the Sinapsis people, he worked hard to build a tower, thinking of caring for his big brother who cared for them, but the big brother sent an ace pilot backhand to blow him into scum... What's the matter?
It's like Guan Yu went through five passes and killed six generals all the way, and he wanted wholeheartedly to return to Liu Bei who had captured Hanzhong at that time... But before he could go back, Liu Bei sent someone to stab Guan Yu in the back, and then sent him to Liu Bei. Cao Cao said that you are laughing at... what are you doing?

Daedalus shook his head.

"At that time, most of the Xinapsi people who supported the attack on the ground chose to commit suicide because of the wishing machine. Although the number dropped sharply due to the previous massacre, and the surviving people went their separate ways, they also reproduced smoothly. At that time, we began to observe the people on the ground... The people living on the surface are working hard, and even our tiny wish is out of reach for them... At that time It is a rare thing for people to even eat enough. Occasionally, they will show a happy smile when they can eat a good meal... And that is something we don't have anymore... So we developed the 'Dream Game '."

"Dream Game..."

"But the 'hidden dream game' you mentioned, isn't it entering someone else's dream?"

Lu Ye probably understood what the Xinapsi people did afterwards, but he was a little puzzled.

Would the Sinapus be willing to succumb to human dreams?
"The so-called 'dream' is not just its original meaning..." Daedalus smiled, "It seems that you have traveled from other parallel worlds, and for other people in the town, it is also like An incredible dream, right?"

"The real 'hidden dream' game is actually a huge hypnotic device." Daedalus said, "The surviving Sinapus collectively entered this device. In the dream, we will be reincarnated on the surface, Living as a human being, the entire Cynapes fell into a deep sleep, leaving only Minos, the master of Cynapes, guarding the place alone."

"It seems that he still has an obsession with the wishing machine?"

"No, maybe... he just guarded this place because of Synapse's self-esteem. If even he fell into a deep sleep, then Synapse would be a veritable empty city, becoming a man-made angel. There will be no country where the Sennapus live.",

"What about you..." Lu Ye asked, "Why didn't you fall into a deep sleep...?"

"Is there any need to ask this?"

Daedalus turned her head, and the breeze blew her long hair, revealing her smile.

And that face, Lu Ye knew.

See Chu Yuan in the moon.

"Of course it's because of Xiaozhi... In fact, I also entered the hypnosis device and reincarnated as Tsukimi Chuyuan. At that time, I met Sakurai Tomoki and spent a happy childhood with him... It was a really happy time for me, I haven't been this happy in a long, long time."

Looking back on that time, the smile on Daedalus' face is like a bright flower in spring.

But what happened next was not so happy.

"It's just that my reincarnation was weak and sick, and unfortunately died of illness when I was young. Xiaozhi became very depressed because of my death... He used to be the king of children. As soon as he made a sound, all the children nearby I will always be with him, just like a king... But after that, he couldn't be happy anymore. I was also very unwilling, so I hurriedly ended my human life in just a few years, so I made my own The clone...that is, the current Yuejian Chuyuan was sent back to the surface, and Xiaozhi's memory about my illness and death was erased."

"Okay... I got it, but the wishing machine shouldn't work now, right?" Lu Ye said.

If the Wishing Machine was still in effect, the opponent would not have spent so much effort to bring Icarus back.

"Well, yes, it's stopped working now, but it doesn't matter much, after all, almost all the Sinapsis are already in the hypnotic device now, and no one can use it, not even Minos. Same, maybe he, like me, regrets making this kind of thing..."

"Well, if there is no other information, I have to prepare." Lu Ye moved his joints, "Maybe tomorrow is the day to bring Sakurai Satoki back."

"Have you found your way to Synaps?"

"Well, there is a [-]% chance of success."

"Really... Great, sorry, I can't help you in this regard, after all, Synapse's defense system is too high..."

"Even Icarus can't get close?"

At this time, Lu Ye remembered this question. Daedalus said that Icarus should never be allowed to get close to Xinapsi.

"It's better to say that it was because of Icarus that he couldn't get close to Sinapus." Daedalus said, "After the massacre in the sky against the ground, there was an episode that almost caused the entire Sinai Puss was destroyed. That's when Icarus malfunctioned on the way back and accidentally left it on the ground. She was picked up by a teenager who lost his family in the chaos. The vengeful teenager ordered Icarus to attack Synap s.

Since Icarus was sent to the lower world to carry out massacres at that time, the emotional mechanism was not activated, causing Synaps to swallow the bitter fruit, and almost all the artificial angels in the entire Synaps at that time were dispatched, so as not to destroy Icarus subdued him and forcibly cut off the connection with the boy. After the incident was resolved, Icarus was programmed to burn himself if he approached Synaps without permission. , and then archived. "

"So it's like this...Speaking of which, some artificial angels want to attack Icarus recently. Why?"

"I'm afraid... because of the future Minos saw." Daedalus said, "the reason why Icarus didn't destroy Cynapus when he attacked her was because she was one of all artificial angels. The one with the strongest fighting power among them, its variable wing core is far beyond comparison with other artificial angels, and even she herself cannot withstand the full power of the core. Minos probably wanted Icarus' variable Wing-wing core, to prevent future scenes?"

"I see... well, I'm going back."

"Well...but before that, can you hear a request from me?"

"As long as I can do it and don't violate my personal principles..."

"Please... take good care of the artificial angels. Not only Icarus, but also Nimf... especially the latter, this time she will definitely be done by Minos again, if possible, Please help her... In fact, they are very gentle children."

When he said this, Daedalus' eyes were gentle and worried.

Almost like a mother.

……

Open your eyes, the stars are twinkling outside the window.

Lu Ye adjusted his posture in the bed.

He originally wanted to close his eyes and sleep, but he couldn't sleep.

At the last moment when he left the dreamland, the expression on Daedalus' face made him unforgettable.

It was the look of a mother worried about her child.

Daedalus...?

The name is familiar.

In the world of the dungeon, this name also appeared.

Not only that, Lu Ye had heard of this name even in the main world.

A figure in Greek mythology, a great artist, architect and sculptor, a skilled craftsman, and at the same time... the father of Icarus.

"No wonder you care so much about Icarus and Nymph..."
