Chapter 15: Reset
That thing...
It specifically refers to the existence sealed on the sixth floor of the Abyss Tower. In fact, there are currently two primitive puppets in the Abyss Tower. In addition to the seawater vending machine, there is actually one primitive puppet, but no one knows what that thing is. Even Qingtian Zhizhi did not write a report on the primitive puppet, so that for a long time, everyone forgot that there is still the existence of that thing. It was not until this time when Qingtian Zhizhi was mentioned that everyone suddenly remembered something.
Then Qingtian Zhizhi took the two to the sixth floor alone, and along the way he was also introducing the situation of this thing to them.
"First of all, I want to make a statement that it is not that I deliberately concealed it, nor that I was lazy and didn't write a report, but that I didn't know what it was."
"Don't think I'm kidding. First of all, let me talk about the characteristics of this thing. Because of certain circumstances, I can't describe it, so I can only confirm its existence and certain characteristics by exclusion."
Qingtian Zhizhi said while thinking: "First of all, I don't remember how this thing was formed, I don't remember who the original object of its transformation was, there is no record of this person, nor any record videos and any data about this transformation experiment."
"Secondly, I don't remember how I got it to the sixth floor, nor why I got it to the sixth floor, based on what it was, what the threat was, and when it was sent, all these are unknown."
"Then I don't remember it's in that room on the sixth floor, nor do I remember any tests on it, whether there have been people who have died or disappeared there, and I don't remember all of that."
"In the end, I don't remember whether it has caused casualties, damage to the base, or any other situation, and all the records and memories are not recorded... The only thing that can be confirmed is that you, me, and all those who have participated in its forming experiments and have not died yet in the forming experiments, have confirmed that there is such a thing, but I have no desire to explore. If it weren't for your particularity this time, we would probably ignore it and its existence forever."
When they heard this, Ren Wang and Hao Qi felt a little creepy. What is the most terrifying thing? The unknown is the most terrifying thing. Nothing is more terrifying than the unknown. And this thing is undoubtedly a complete unknown, no matter how weird it is, it is.
(Wait, wait a moment, have I encountered this thing before? I can't remember where I encountered it, nor what happened when I encountered it, but I feel that I have encountered this thing for no reason.)
Qingtian Zhizhi paused for a long time. After the two of them received the previous information, he continued: "You two have special characteristics that I don't understand. This special nature may take a long time and a lot of experiments to figure it out. But now we don't have so much time and energy. At the same time, it is impossible to use too dangerous and extreme means to test it. For example, it is probably not possible to turn you into primitive puppets..."
(Definitely not possible!!)
King Ren and Hao Qi both roared silently, and Qingtian Zhizhi ignored them and said to himself: "So, I need you to go to the sixth floor, find the unknown, and then observe it carefully, and then tell me all the things you have observed to test your abnormality."
Then, Hao Qi and Ren Wang went to the sixth floor to search carefully, and then they came back, both of them looking confused.
"Then what? What did you find?" Qingtian Zhizhi was waiting for the two of them alone. He asked immediately when he saw them.
Hao Qi and King Ren looked at each other, and King Ren frowned and said, "That thing is so weird. I think it looks like... uh, no, it shouldn't be round, right?"
Hao Qi nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, it is definitely not round, but it is definitely not square!"
"Well, I think it should be...it shouldn't be red, right?" Nino said again.
Hao Qi nodded again and said, "Yes, it is definitely not red, nor white!"
Qingtian Zhizhi heard it and blue veins rose on his forehead. He said with a cold face: "What the hell are you two talking about?"
King Ren and Hao Qi were both stunned for a while, King Ren said, "Aren't we going to the sixth floor to see that thing? This is what we saw."
"That thing? What?" Qingtian Zhizhi looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.
Hao Qi explained: "You want to test our particularity, so let's go to the sixth floor to see that thing."
"When...yes, I asked you to go to the sixth floor to find that thing to test your particularity, and then? You told me a lot of things that are not, what is that thing, what exactly is, and that is what I want to know!" Qingtian Zhizhi asked loudly.
Hao Qi and King Ren looked at each other, and they all looked at Qingtian Zhizhi with strangeness and said, "What is it? What are you talking about?"
Qingtian Zhizhi said strangely: "It's just to ask you to go to the sixth floor to find that thing, and then tell me what that thing is, what that thing is."
"Yes, that thing...that thing?" Hao Qi and King Ren suddenly realized it, and then asked strangely.
Qingtian Zhizhi said strangely: "What is that thing? What are you doing here? You haven't trained new people yet, there are not enough people... By the way, we will conduct a new primitive puppet experiment this afternoon, remember to strengthen the guards."
"Oh, okay...what are we here?" Hao Qi asked King Ren.
Nino waved his hand strangely, thought for a while and said, "Don't we still have drinks? Should we just drink them and see if they have any effect?"
"Good idea, let's go find sunny days." Hao Qi agreed immediately.
Then, the two were scolded...
Time flies, and half a month passes. During this period, five primitive puppets were added in the base headquarters. It can be seen that Qingtian Zhizhi's research team has accelerated. At the same time, dozens of silent "special" personnel appeared in the base headquarters. No one touched or talked to each other, and they were like robots. Only Hao Qi knew what these people were, but she didn't know who the cloned primitives of these people were.
The five additional primitive puppets are each special. Four of them have a threat between e and f, but there is no threat to avoid it carefully. However, one of them is very strange. It is a skeleton door. The entire door is made of bone racks, an empty skeleton door. Every twenty-four hours, if no one goes in, something will come out from it, either an object, a creature, or a non-organism. This thing is so weird that no one comes back, and no one comes back, so that Hao Qi originally planned to go in and explore the way, but was severely blocked by Qingtian Zhizhi. Every day, this door will begin to swallow a person in, without an end.
The atmosphere of the entire headquarters base is getting worse and worse. It is not because people's own thinking has changed, but because of the negative impact caused by the decline in the Arrengaes index. To put it simply, it is the interference caused by the prelude to the fantasy riot. During the last fantasy riot, they killed a powerful primitive puppet and directly detonated, but this time it was slowly accumulating, so the impact this time was very huge.
Then, a metal tower appeared within the base headquarters.
The layout of the base headquarters is originally in the form of a giant tower, and the tower appeared on the fourth floor of the Abyss Tower, which is equivalent to the middle of the entire base headquarters. When the metal tower appeared, the murmur once again appeared in the entire base headquarters. Everyone heard the terrifying murmur and the clear sound buried in it.
"The tower breaks through the sky, and the earth disappears. Those who give us life but allow us to suffer will definitely pay the price for it!"
A beam of light was shot out from the metal tower. This light was spiraled around the metal tower as the center. It was not fast, but the illumination range was extremely large. If the metal tower turned like this, the entire base would be attacked by illumination.
The beam was green, and I don’t know what kind of beam it was. Everything that was illuminated turned into nothingness, and people and things were no exception. Even except for the skeleton door, other primitive puppets also turned into nothingness. A few seconds after the metal tower appeared, Hao Qi, Wu Cheng, Renwang and other team members all rushed towards the metal tower. Everyone knew that if this metal tower was not solved, the metal tower would solve them. The base headquarters was completely closed when the fantasy riot occurred, and they had no way out.
This metal tower is not very huge, but it is so tough that the building is unimaginable. Even if Hao Qi punches it with all his strength, he doesn't even leave a white mark. He can only break it by using it like fire. However, it only breaks the metal shell. At least a few meters thick shell, Hao Qi can't even touch the core even if he punches his arm in.
In the end, Hao Qi could only watch the green beam sweep across everything, and everyone shattered and disappeared in the green beam...
Hao Qimeng woke up in shock and slowly calmed down after a long time. He seemed to have had a very terrible nightmare in his dream, but he couldn't recall it. This was a very abnormal thing. With his strength, it was impossible for him to have so-called nightmare at all. He would even have no dreams if he didn't want to dream. What's more, although the infinite disaster he survived was occupied by the virtual transcendence, he still had some essence. How could he be scared by the nightmare?
(The influence of the original puppet? Or is the fantasy riot approaching? Or both? Speaking of which, the latest fantasy riot is about to come? I always feel that there is something insider about the bronze robots last time. The words they brought, we were given life, but were abandoned irresponsibly. Life... is full of pain... what does it mean?)
Hao Qi was worried and couldn't sleep anymore, so he walked out of the room and planned to go to the entertainment room of the base to take a look, but on the way, he saw Qingtian Zhizhi gasping there against the wall.
"What's wrong? Are people uncomfortable?" Hao Qi immediately walked over and asked.
Qingtian Zhizhi's body trembled, and when he turned his head, he had recovered his usual calmness and arrogance. He said, "You are so idle. You haven't been asleep so late. It seems that your recent task is too easy..."
Hao Qi smiled, sat on the ground with Qingtian Zhizhi, and then said, "There are no one here, so don't hold on... The recent clones, the primordials are all you, right? What is the essence of your collar?"
"It's okay..." Qingtian Zhizhi replied after being silent for a while.
Hao Qi sat next to him. He thought for a while and said, "It's not a solution to continue like this. How about I go out and catch more criminals back? No criminals... Those who are powerful and do whatever they want, should they do it, otherwise if you collapse, how much role can this base and these research play?"
"...I have my own sense of responsibility." Qingtian Zhizhi was silent for a long time before saying.
Just as Hao Qi was planning to continue to advise, Qingtian Zhizhi suddenly spoke, "If you are willing to sacrifice to save this world?"
Hao Qi was stunned for a moment, and he thought for a while and said, "It depends on how to save it, and what is the world, and what is the final result. If it is a beautiful world like the ancient times, I will be willing to sacrifice. If it is a deep hell, and the people there are still hope, then I will also be willing to sacrifice to break this hell. Similarly, if my sacrifice can really bring good luck, a better future and a kinder heart, then my sacrifice will not be in vain. These are all situations where I am willing to sacrifice. If this world is a group of slaves, or a group of slags who stand at the highest point of morality and ask others to sacrifice, then it is good that I have not ruined the world, and I still hope that I will sacrifice? It's really a joke."
"It's reasonable." Qingtian Zhizhi nodded, and after a long time he continued to ask, "This is your sacrifice... But if you save the world, you need to sacrifice others, and your relatives, your partners, and your comrades-in-arms, what will you do?"
"Is it a question of how many people choose?" Hao Qi scratched his head, and he shook his head and said, "Then I can't do it, even if they are voluntary, but I don't have the right to decide the lives and future of innocent people. They will always be themselves, even if there are trillions of people on one side and one person on the other. If this person is an innocent person, then I will definitely not be able to kill one and save ten thousand. The topic of choice is almost my answer."
"Is that... I really envy you..." Qingtian Zhizhi looked up silently, and he murmured: "Your heart has its own way, so you can be free and easy, and your heart has freedom..."
"I really envy you..."
