Kevin, but with little Ellie as a male mother on Star Rail

Because what he feels is real, what he can receive in his current identity.

Therefore, should he act according to the path deduced by the system of "Simulated Universe" now, or should he rely on his own will to explore the world deduced by it?

Chapter 232 There is no doubt that she is dead.

While the two of them were quietly waiting for the fire in the forest to gradually grow from start to strength, and finally subside, Screwgum didn't know why he didn't give Kevin any more tips for the time being, and the bounty hunter also As if something was on his mind, he remained silent for a long time without speaking.

In Kevin's mind, this half-system hour passed by as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.The flames burning in the forest also began to gradually die out. Only the sounds of fighting and explosions echoing on the planet not only did not decrease at all, but also gradually became more intense.

Or rather - this slaughterhouse-like war has officially begun at this moment.

"How should I put it? This moment came later than I thought. It's just that I should have thought of it... The mastermind behind all this probably won't allow anyone to leave this place alive."

The bounty hunter who had been silent suddenly spoke again, and his feet were already covered with dried cigarette butts - it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

"It's almost time to leave... Actually, I was originally thinking that if you were willing to find an excuse to leave, I would let you go for now... After all, even for the two of us, the only thing we can do is die early and die early. It’s the difference between dying late, rookie.”

The next second after saying these inexplicable words, the bounty hunter naturally raised the gun in his hand, then pointed at Kevin and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The action of drawing the gun and shooting was very quick and decisive, and there was no stagnation in the whole process. It was even so smooth that even Kevin couldn't help but admire it.

Perhaps in the past hundred years, this bounty hunter who did not leave any name was once a legendary figure famous among the stars.He has left several legendary deeds for this universe, which may still be circulated in the universe to this day.

But what was even more difficult for Kevin to understand was that even if he didn't take any active defensive measures, such an attack would not really leave him with any considerable injuries.But the fact is that he very clearly felt the feeling of the attack passing through his body, as well as the fleeting pain.

boom--!

It wasn't until the sound of landing that Kevin finally realized what happened.Because after that, his perspective began to gradually increase, allowing him to see the strange-looking corpse on the ground.

This was not him, but the rookie that the other party said had probably just joined the bounty hunter.

He may have had some happy or sad stories, or he may have imagined that he would be able to get rid of everything in the past and become a legendary bounty hunter and be admired by others... But now, or All that was said to have been lost long ago.

In the deduction of "Simulated Universe", this is just a carrier responsible for temporary support, and the only names left behind are called rookie and newcomer, nothing more.

"It appears that Simverse has determined that your character has concluded his role in this story."

"But you don't need to worry, the prologue of this story has been drafted after all. Next, we can still witness the beginning and end of this story as bystanders... In any case, this is very important in the study of the footprints of gods. , can be regarded as a very significant breakthrough.”

At least as a leader alone, Screwgum has done a good job.He was always able to give explanations in time when Kevin had doubts, which was definitely much better than most scientists Kevin had ever met.

The only pity is that this is not the answer Kevin wants.

But what is currently known is still too little, and Kevin has no reason to break the arrangements of these geniuses for the time being.All he could do was to follow what the other party said and quietly observe the development of the story——

After raising his hand to deal with the newcomers led by him, the bounty hunter first sighed slightly, and then silently moved the body on the ground into the still swaying forest fire.After confirming that the figure was completely engulfed in flames, he turned around and embarked on the return journey.

During the entire process, Kevin was like an observer in another dimension, able to only follow the other party's actions from a third-person perspective.It's like watching an immersive movie with the fast-forward button pressed.

After going through a series of trekking across mountains and rivers, crossing several battlefields and killing dozens of soldiers and hunters who were red-eyed in the battle, the bounty hunter finally arrived at his destination.

It was a battlefield countless times more cruel than other places. Under the chaotic fighting from many parties, blood, stumps, broken shells and mucus could be seen almost everywhere.

But overall, the army that was well-trained and had even tamed many huge insects had the upper hand.They continue to compress the living space of the insects and hunters.Judging from this trend, it probably won't be too long before this originally natural planet will be left with only the voice of 'conquer'.

But the bounty hunter had no intention of stepping forward to help anyone.He just glanced at this battlefield that could not be described as cruel, then hunched his body and touched the innermost edge of the battlefield bit by bit from the outside - the largest gathering place for bounty hunters like them.

Relying on his identity and being covered in blood, he easily reached the deepest part of the gathering place and met the leader of these bounty hunters—it was this stubborn and tyrannical leader with *Aha-level credibility* , after receiving that nightmarish revelation, he insisted on taking everyone to this plain of the starfish.

From Kevin's perspective, the blond curly-haired female leader stood up with her back to the light, and immediately drew out her two guns and faced the bounty hunter below - at this point, the two of them There seems to be something strange in common.

Under the hunter's questioning, the leader admitted without hesitation that he was consciously promoting this indiscriminate massacre.In order to push it to a climax, he even cast insect powder witchcraft on his 'family' without any scruples.

Under the influence of that illusion, hunters and the swarm were indistinguishable from each other, which also provoked a dispute between the army and the hunters, pushing the massacre ceremony to its climax.

In the conversation between the two, Kevin even learned that the leader was the object of the hunter's admiration.In this moment of confrontation, the two expressed their feelings to each other, but the story did not develop in the direction that others expected.

The leader rejected the hunter's request for the two to escape, and instead asked the hunter to shoot him.

When the hunter tried to continue persuading, the leader decisively pulled the trigger, and the habit developed over decades also made the hunter subconsciously roll forward to fight back.

One bullet flew past the hunter's ear, but another penetrated the leader's chest.

There is no doubt that she died.

Chapter 233 This is the moment of His birth

The cruel reality once again made a little joke to everyone - maybe because the happy life of the two was quite unfair to the other people who lost their lives, so it also deprived them of this last possible bud without discrimination. of beauty.

This time, the hunter could no longer suppress his emotions.He seemed to clearly understand that he should not be the survivor in this duel.After all, if that's not the case, why is the other party the leader of everyone, but he is just an ordinary bounty hunter?

But no matter how pessimistic he appeared, to the two people watching, it was just a vivid story without any foreshadowing, nothing more.

"The emotions of organic life are like tides, which often elude me... Only at this moment, I seem to be able to clearly feel the sadness in his heart."

The voice of Screwgum sounded in Kevin's mind at the right time, as if two audiences in the cinema were sharing their senses with each other.

But Kevin didn't respond.If he allowed himself to remain in his body at this moment, the other party would probably be able to see him hugging his chest, closing his eyes, and remaining silent without saying a word.

He can understand such sad feelings, and also knows that with the help of the unknown mastermind behind the scenes, everything will eventually lead to such a similar ending... But now he is just a bystander of the story, no matter what emotions he expresses None of this makes sense.

The hunter, who was the protagonist in the center of the field, did not keep them waiting for too long. He quickly recovered from his sadness.After disposing of his lover's body, the hunter ran in the opposite direction of the battlefield without hesitation - it seemed that he wanted to escape from this meat grinding ground.

Even if he wanted to avenge his lover, it would be completely useless.Because it was simply difficult for him to understand where the ravings the other party heard came from, not to mention...it was himself who finally pulled the trigger.

It didn't take long for the bounty hunter to successfully arrive at the place where they parked the spacecraft.Visible to the naked eye, most of the hull has been maliciously damaged.Obviously, these spacecraft no longer have any ability to navigate the universe.

After some searching, he found the only spacecraft that was still intact among the various wreckage - it was the one he had customized for himself not long ago, and the entire cockpit was full of damage and could only There is room for him alone.

Only then did he suddenly wake up. He thought he had figured everything out, and only now did he realize that his lover had already made all the arrangements for him.

Perhaps the leader had already understood that in this bloody massacre, only a few people were qualified to survive... She just gave up her place.

But no matter how hard he could figure out the truth of the matter at this time, all this was of no avail.The hunter did not hesitate to board the spaceship escaping from the planet, and at this moment, Screwgum suddenly and thoughtfully reminded Kevin -

"Attention, Mr. Kevin. An epic scene is about to unfold in front of us..."

boom--!

With the roar of the engine, the smaller spacecraft rose from the ground in an instant.The hunter, whose entire body was leaning against the cockpit under the influence of inertia, turned his head with some difficulty and looked through the glass at the battlefield below where they were still killing each other.

These self-proclaimed human beings do not know that they are just one of the materials to be consumed in this drama.And for these bugs that just reproduce and take over all life, they may not realize this until they die, right?

I just don’t know, what is the purpose of the unspeakable mastermind trying to make all of this happen?

At the moment when this thought suddenly flashed through the hunter's mind, an extremely strange scene suddenly appeared in his eyes: the insect swarm that was about to be slaughtered suddenly gave up its escape in the flames of war and began to carry out the process from the genetic level. Their life behavior is reproduction.

In an instant, countless new individuals began to be born on the battlefield. They seemed to have broken through the limits of biological organisms. From birth to adulthood and then to reproduction again... this behavior was so long that it took them a lifetime to express it, but it was only It was completed in a matter of moments.

Even the reproduction of those bugs is not limited to the same kind, and the barriers of size and appearance cannot be the limit for their mutual reproduction.This crazy behavior soon caused the reborn insects to gradually deviate from their original appearance, constantly opening new chapters in the biological genealogy of the universe.

This unprecedented and bizarre scene is completely difficult to understand.Not only the hunter's eyes were filled with fear, but even Kevin and Screwgum made no sound for a while.

And just a second before the hunter's spacecraft was about to leave the planet's atmosphere, a strange-looking insect suddenly appeared in his field of vision - it rushed into the sky in blood, broken shells and mucus, leaving all chaos. .Carnage, and invisible smoke.

Even though he didn't really understand the cause and effect, Kevin's mind seemed to be suddenly stuffed with such a piece of information, making him understand that this was the last member of the Coleoptera of the Silver Star.

The crazy killing gave birth to an emotion similar to hatred in this insect. So as the last member of the species, he broke away from the boundaries of insects and became a... "star" that stands at the top of all creatures in the universe. god".

Maybe it was the endless slaughter that made him feel afraid, or maybe it was because he was the only remnant of the species that made him feel lonely - so he embarked on the path of "breeding", making the world full of the same kind of people. population.

Before the hunters could completely leave the planet, the overwhelming swarm of insects had already devoured the battlefield below.They are even spreading to the surrounding areas at an extremely fast rate, as if they want to turn the entire planet into their paradise.

As for the humans who were still able to dominate the battlefield in the beginning?They could no longer see any waves under this overwhelming tide of insects.

And the "breeding" star god who was born here has already left the planet where he was born from the sky, thus kicking off the real prelude to the locust plague that is about to sweep the universe.

However, when looking at the sky with the hunter, Kevin always felt that there was such a huge eye in the deep starry sky.

He is silently watching all this happen.

Chapter 234 [Chapter 1·Flapping Wings]

【Chapter 1·Flapping wings】

After witnessing the ascension of "Breeding", the surface being submerged by the insect tide, and the hunter finally escaping from the starfish, the lavender fan grid once again obscured Kevin's sight - by the time he came to his senses again, it was already I'm on a certain beach.

The subtitles that had just been displayed in front of him also proved to him that the story had reached a new chapter, and he was about to play another brand-new character.

Only this time, Kevin doesn't intend to completely follow the flow of the plot.He planned to do something, even though he knew that this was just a story deduced by a machine.

But who can really be sure that their world is not woven by other people's lies?

Just when Kevin was about to explore the situation around him, Screwgum's voice suddenly sounded in his mind again: "This is simply unbelievable, Mr. Kevin, we have just witnessed for the first time from a mortal perspective " The moment when breeding is born.”

"I can feel that the clockwork in my body has been sped up by half a minute... This is definitely not an illusion, but it may be that the power of fate has affected me through the "Simulated Universe". Mr. Kevin, please remember You must be extra careful when dealing with the ‘Virtual Star Gods’.”

Even if they knew that they were just a group of simulated "Star Gods", because they had definitely added the influence of fate to ensure the authenticity of the simulation, it was entirely possible for those "Star Gods" to do A situation completely contrary to data simulation.

Even among virtual data, they are definitely not things that humans can master at will.Otherwise, they just need to continue to simulate externally. Why do they need to send subjects in to take risks?

"The previous subject has always been a little girl who doesn't like to talk but is very out-of-the-box. Her body is very special, so in the simulated universe, we can let her play the role of the deceased Akivili , in order to increase the probability of attracting the ‘Star God’ to stop.”

"Although the things witnessed from the perspective of "pioneering" will be very different from the perspective of ordinary people, to a certain extent, it is also a protection for the little girl. And Mr. Kevin, even in the data It shows that there is nothing strange about you for the time being, but for the sake of safety, I still have to ask... Do you want to continue, or should you terminate this simulation experiment immediately?"

This may sound a bit abrupt, but if you change your perspective slightly, you can easily understand its meaning: just like ants and humans will inevitably see differences when observing the same thing, the perspective of "Star God" and that of mortals will be different. Nature is also completely different.

The subject was protected by the power of "Pioneering", so she was generally not affected by other "Star Gods", but this was not necessarily the case for Kevin, who was completely a mortal.

Moreover, they also have to know that the "Breeder" will not deliberately restrain his power when letting ordinary humans meet him like other "Star Gods".

"Is it affecting... No, let's continue this simulation." Kevin just glanced down at his palms and made his decision without hesitation.

He believes that he has enough control over his body.What's more, it's not just the geniuses of these clubs who are curious about the deeds of the "Star Gods".

Now Kevin also really wants to find out what all this is about.

"Very well, Mr. Kevin, I respect your choice."

"The following paragraph is a story that has been anticipated for a long time. All you need to do is follow the instructions... I'm sorry to excuse you for a moment. The Black Tower and I have some things to deal with..."

After Screwgum's words fell, Kevin's ears were filled with the sound of rising and falling tides.Compared with the roaring scene before, this place can be regarded as a holy land.

Just when Kevin was about to take a step forward to explore his surroundings, a subtitle suddenly appeared in front of him——

[When you look up and notice the situation - you find that you are on an isolated island.This island country is full of coconut palms and ocean currents, and its residents wear the most primitive furs.In the land of forced isolation, you suddenly realize that this is the *destined place*. After "Breeding" ascended to the Star God, the first world he came to seemed to have been chosen in advance: several Amber Periods ago, this place was gradually isolated due to the migration of geographical ocean currents, and the loneliness was thickly mixed together, like a handful waiting to be sown. Soil. 】

"...It's really a straightforward reminder."

Kevin helplessly waved away the subtitles that appeared in front of his eyes, and saw some strange colored flames burning on the ground in front of him.

Kevin leaned over and stretched out his palm, but the flame extinguished itself before it came into contact with his body, as if it had been placed in an oxygen-free environment, leaving only a charred photo frame that Kevin lifted from the ground. picked up.

Before he had time to take a clear look at the family in the photo who were wearing simple clothes but with smiles on their faces, the familiar subtitles suddenly appeared in front of Kevin's eyes again——

[Mandalay Islanders are accustomed to painting colorful wings on the shoulder blades of family photos. The colorful flames that spurt out are a symbol of life. They use the flames to connect and embrace each other, and finally give birth to new life. 】

[The Mandalay Islanders used the birth of life to resist the fear of loneliness and death - there is nothing but love and loneliness on this isolated island... Sadly, this flame was eventually extinguished, just like you As they had just done, they eventually became the initial breeding ground for the swarm. 】

The consciousness expressed in this subtitle is even more vivid than before.According to it, this island was the first place that "Breeding" arrived after leaving the Silver Star, and it was also the beginning of his insect tide.

But... "breeding" is "breeding". The reason why He caused the insect tide, and what does it have to do with the people here who like to give birth to fight against loneliness?

Wait, is it possible...? !

As soon as an idea that even he found a little unbelievable flashed through Kevin's mind, he saw that the photo frame in his hand suddenly began to corrode at an extremely fast speed, and finally turned into fine gravel and scattered in the surroundings.

And in the coconut grove not far from the beach, a shout directed at Kevin came at the right time.

"Hey! Come back to work quickly! The hospital is short of manpower right now, and the doctors are almost overwhelmed!"

Chapter 235 Your child will be the first lucky one!

So, his identity in this story becomes a doctor... and he's still an intern?

It wasn't until he was taken into Mandalay Island's only hospital that Kevin finally determined his identity.But the sad thing is that it would be easier for him to become a bounty hunter.But he really couldn't do the profession of doctor, so he might as well let Su Lai do it.

Unfortunately, things had come to this, and Kevin had no choice but to look at his white-gloved palms helplessly, and then followed the man in front of him to the ward.

As the previous subtitle described, the environment here is very backward. In such a large hospital, there are not even many modern equipment of electrical system, and there are more simple bed boards and stretchers.

Not to mention compared with the Luofu Immortal Boat or the Black Tower Space Station, the level of development here is probably not even half of that of the lower area of ​​Beloberg.

But even though the development of science and technology is extremely backward, in this place that is supposed to be a place where people are fighting against illness and separation, not many people show sadness. On the contrary, most people's faces reveal visible joy. .

Yes, according to Kevin's visual inspection, most of the population on Mandalay Island is probably gathered inside and outside the hospital at this moment, which makes it difficult for them to walk in the passage.

After asking people around me, I learned that in order to fight against loneliness, the people on this island have formed a very strange custom since I don't know when - they always start at the beginning of winter. Unify and encourage young people to reproduce, so that by the time of next autumn, large numbers of children will be born one after another.

The month when new babies are coming is like a magical festival for them.In such an atmosphere, everyone seems to have forgotten the boring loneliness on this island, and their hearts are full of joy.
