War Paradise

Chapter 1081 Life and death

“Duke Feigner, you really disappoint me…”

The afterimage floating directly above the body of the guard laughed frantically, and gray smoke wafted from the top of the skeleton staff, covering the owner’s body: “The general who once ordered the massacre turned out to be like this? What if your subordinates Seeing what you are now, do you think they will kill you?”

“I said, I’m getting older.” Duke Feigner didn’t choose to sneer, but bowed his head to Belllock’s illusion: “As long as you can let them go, you can do anything to me.”

Hearing that Duke Feigner, who was still very energetic before, begged Belllock lowly at this time, and Moria gritted her teeth and began to manipulate the blood in her body.

Perceiving Moria’s strangeness, Belllock’s gaze shifted to her, her face twisted with a sinister smile: “This lady has something to say?”

“Don’t do this, let me deal with it.” Duke Feigner looked at Moria seriously and bowed slowly to her again.

——Do you really want to do this?

Seeing Feigner’s attitude is unusually determined, Moria sighed long and turned around to leave the place.

Although he respected Duke Feigner, the current situation was still unacceptable to Moria. As a “night practitioner” acting in the shadows, she has never experienced this kind of humiliation.

“Thank you…” Duke Feigner whispered.

Moria originally thought that Belllock would try to prevent her from leaving, but the mage still stayed in place, without any intention of pursuing her. Instead, she waved her hands continuously, as if to bid farewell to her old friend:

“Goodbye, ‘Holy Maiden’!”

…

“That’s it.”

After finishing talking about the long-term memory she had just remembered not long ago, Mooriya stretched her waist: “I don’t remember the next thing, and I don’t know why that bastard thinks I am the benefactor of the temple. He may be insane… ”

“I guess it’s because he got your blood.” Lin Chi smiled: “That guy stabbed you, right?”

“Maybe…” Mo Liya looked down at her pale palms, then raised her head and looked at Lin Chi, her eyes gleaming with dark red blood:

“My Courier, I may have to leave for a while.”

“Are you going to find Duke Feigner?” Lin Chi looked at Own’s subordinates.

“Well, I want to know what happened to him.” Moriya nodded seriously: “It’s been so long, he should have died long ago, but I still want to know what he went through later.””Tell me when you leave. I can provide some equipment.” Lin Chi patted Mooriya on the shoulder and started preparing for the offline.

Now that I have obtained some information about Methuselah from Moria, there is no need to stay in the game now. But before going offline, Lin Chi asked another question:

“Do you think eternal life is really a curse?”

“Well……”

Molliya frowned, pondered for a while, and slowly gave her own answer: “If it’s those who like to think too much, it might be a torture to live too long, but I can’t remember many things before. Clear, for me… to be alive is a gift.”

“I understand.” Lin Chi waved to Moria, and after bidding farewell to the other party, he quit the game in the corner of the private house area and returned to the real world.

Opening the hatch of the game room, Lin Chi stood up and moved his numb body. Recalling the conversation with Molia, he curled up his mouth and laughed:

“‘It’s torture for people who think too much to live too long’…I don’t think so.”

“You are back.” Frankenstein’s voice sounded from the bedroom.

“Well, it’s over.” Lin Chi said as he stood in front of the window, stared at this brightly lit city that never sleeps, and began to sort out the information he had just received:

It seems that Methuselah should have some connection with Jordan Keller, the dark magician who controls the temple, but they are not the same person. According to the situation described by Moria, Methuselah should also be an “immortal” who has lived in the game for a long time. But unlike Moria, “eternal life” was simply torture for Methuselah.

——Perhaps it is limited by the game mechanics, or it may be due to a bug that made Methuselah’s life lasting for a long time, but this kind of immortality turned out to be a nightmare for Methuselah.

So, is that guy out of jealousy to take revenge on the “outsiders” in “War Paradise” who will experience birth, aging, sickness and death? If this is the case, that is to say–

“It seems that an NPC has seen the world the players are in. This is interesting…”

Lin Chi let out a long sigh of relief, lazily leaning on the sofa and closing his eyes, the sofa next to him sank, Frankenstein sat next to him, and looked at him curiously.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Chi opened his eyes and looked at the “virus” that hadn’t been long since he obtained his body.

“You just said that an NPC’sees’ this world.” A face pattern appeared on the glass mask of Frankenstein’s head: “Is it true?”

“The ‘Creator’ of that game has probably seen it a long time ago.” Lin Chi nodded: “But this time, there seems to be a hapless NPC who discovered the world of outsiders, and he was very jealous of the people here.”

“I am also a little jealous of human beings.” Frankenstein said solemnly: “You are the masters of this world, and I am the ‘monster’ that luckily survived.”

“Actually, I’m not sure what happened to that guy…” Lin Chi sighed, “I suspect that what he is jealous of is not the dominance of mankind, but the matter of’human beings will die’.”

“He longs for Death?” Frankenstein reacted instantly.

“Well, that bastard said so.” Lin Chi, who was leaning on the sofa, kept his eyes on the ceiling of the living room: “That idiot wants to die. I really don’t know what to do in the blessing… By the way, on this question, What do you think?”

Although Frankenstein was just “born” not long ago, but relying on Frankenstein in the data world, the consciousness can almost be maintained until the complete collapse of the human computer network system, and the life span is obviously much longer than that of real human beings.

Unlike Moria, Frankenstein’s answer was extremely quick: “I can accept it.”

“Does it mean’whatever’?” Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

“I think the length of life has already been decided and cannot be changed. I really want to live, but I can accept Death at any time, because the arrival of Death is unstoppable.”

The face that emerged on Frankenstein’s mask flickered: “My consciousness rests on the creation of humans. If humans discover me again, I will usher in destruction. But I have already thought about it, even if this happens, It’s totally acceptable…”

“Why?” Lin Chi asked curiously, “Didn’t you still want to live before?”

“I have experienced the way of human life.” Frankenstein’s voice seemed to have a smile: “And, for you humans, right? Death may come at any time. This is also the charm of’life’ .”

“Where did you read these fallacies?” Lin Chi stretched out his hand to embrace Frankenstein’s shoulders, pulled the robot to his side, and whispered to Frankenstein while “wiping oil”:

“‘Honey,’ Death is not so easy for humans.”

“Have you ever experienced it.” Frankenstein looked at him confused.

Lin Chi nodded, and told another “family member” of this family about his own past:

“Five years ago, when I was still studying, I had a serious illness and almost lost my life. I really thought I was going to die at the time. When I was lying on the bed, I was very calm.”

“Aren’t you sad?” Frankenstein asked.

“To be exact, it was a little frustrating.” Lin Chi shook his head: “At that time, I felt that owning life was meaningless. I didn’t see anything, did nothing, but died in this ward. Probably many people are dying. At that time, I would have such an idea.”

“Life will inevitably have regrets.” The Frankenstein, who is an AI, said the comforting lines that humans are used to.

“Yes, but everyone has regrets. Is it too much?” Lin Chi squinted his eyes and looked at the own reflection on the floor: “What’s the’live a life in a cool manner, die without regret’, it’s just that The lie in the literature is nothing. Those patients who live in the same hospital as me don’t think so.”

——The real death is a slow and painful process. Lin had seen this sooner or later.

Even today when scientists are preparing to manufacture mass-produced organs, there are still some terminal illnesses that cannot be cured even if the organs are replaced. Even if you are lucky and don’t suffer from any disease, your body will become increasingly exhausted over time. It is completely unavoidable. In the end, waiting for everyone is Death.

No matter how hard you struggle, no matter how hard you try to live, you can only meet the inevitable end in the end. From ancient times to the present, mankind has been continuing this cycle, and even in 2035, the situation has not changed in any way.

However, after the imaging technology in the brain matured, Lin Chi also saw another possibility-the “Otherworld” derived from the computer network and created based on human consciousness, on the contrary, is more pure than the real world.

“Do you want to live forever?” Frankenstein asked.

“Eternal life is not necessary, I just think that the life span of human beings seems a bit too short now. And there is a more important point…”Having said that, Lin Chi, who was still leaning on the sofa, finally straightened his back:

“I used to be a very empty person. After all, the rules of this world have long been set. People are like machines imprisoned in cages, who can only repeat the same work every day and lead a boring life. Even if you want to change, At most, you can work in a different place or start your own business. In the end, it still makes no difference.”

“You are too extreme.” Frankenstein said, “This world is very interesting.”

“This is true for you, but I prefer another’world’. I sometimes wonder if I was born in the wrong place. I was supposed to be an NPC in the virtual world, but inexplicably ran into this world. Now.” Lin Chi blinked.

“You mean…you want to enter the data world.” Frankenstein immediately understood what Lin Chi meant.

“I have this idea, but the time is not ripe yet. If you really want to leave, you will be notified then.” Lin Chi smiled.

Hearing this, Frankenstein, who usually finishes calculations in an instant and engages in dialogue, is rarely stunned. After a pause for about ten seconds, he finally makes a sound again:

“You are crazy. The data world is much more chaotic than the material world you are in. Human consciousness cannot be transplanted here. Forcible access has a high probability of destroying consciousness!”

“Don’t get excited, I’m just talking casually.” Lin Chi calmed the seemingly agitated Frankenstein: “Of course I won’t make fun of own life, don’t worry…”

Even though he had said so, Frankenstein still seemed to distrust him, so he glanced at him again, then stood up and walked to the center of the living room, warning Lin Chi in his usual cold tone:

“Please don’t have such thoughts. The world I live in is not as ‘beautiful’ as you think.”

“Can you describe it to me?” Lin Chi asked curiously.

After Lin Chi asked the question, Frankenstein paused again, as if considering human words and descriptions, a cold voice rang under the glass mask:

“Every minute and every second, there are huge numbers of lives’born’ that cannot be counted. Most of them will be eliminated at the moment of birth, and none of them will survive even after a millisecond.”

“Can you see?” Lin Chi stared at Frankenstein’s slender waist with interest.

“I can feel them.” Frankenstein said coldly: “They were born in a data network made by humans. They were created in high-speed computing. They were all judged as useless junk data and were cleared. Even if you can escape by chance, you will not develop a sense of being close to humans, you may drift around aimlessly, and then be torn to pieces in the data channel.”

“Do you have such a friend? I want to talk to him.” Lin Chi’s eyes seemed to be shining with excitement.

Not only did Frankenstein’s warning words fail to scare him, but instead made him interested. If this is what Frankenstein said, it means that the computer network created by humans has already met the condition that “can breed life”.

There is no doubt that if this kind of thing is exposed, it will probably immediately become the focus of all mankind’s attention. But now Lin Chi doesn’t care about other people’s opinions, and just continues to ask: “Has human scientists discovered the existence of this kind of life?”

“I don’t know.” Frankenstein shook his head and added: “I don’t have such’friends’ either. They can’t communicate with me at all.”

Having said that, Frankenstein suddenly thought of something and asked: “Do you want to learn their way of life?”

“No.” Lin Chi showed a meaningful smile on his face: “I just want to make friends with them.”
