Chapter 69 Roots (Part 1)
Walking around the mound, Shen Yi saw the girl standing there, looking at him quietly.
She looked noticeably taller again, her hair no longer covered her face, and her complexion became a little more apple-red, but her bare feet remained the same, standing on the ground without being stained with dust.
If the girl in white with long hair and mask looked like a Sadako, now she is obviously a little more popular, starting to look like a real loli, especially her eyes, which are much more lively now.
"I haven't seen you for a while, and you have changed a lot. It seems that what happened last time gave you a lot of opportunities." Shen Yi walked over and said.
"Do you know what I got?" The girl's voice was still calm and without any emotion.
"Of course, I don't need you to tell me everything before I can understand." Shen Yi said lightly: "Edmund is very pathetic, he thought that he would get your help when he connected to the mission world and wiped out the bloody city. You have also been fighting against the city, but it is a pity that he did not wait for you to appear until his death."
"That's because he never knew what I wanted."
"That's true." Shen Yi nodded: "To be honest, I also made the same mistake. For a while, I even thought that the reason why you didn't help Edmund in that battle was because I was also a child of space...It's interesting, Although you have repeatedly stated that your help to adventurers has never been selfless, and you have never cared about everyone's life and death. You seem to be carrying out terrorist operations. As long as the explosion occurs, the goal will be achieved. How many people will die is not a matter of concern at all. However, with success again and again, adventurers will gradually rely on you and trust you..."
"You don't seem to have it this time." Her eyes stopped on the Dragon God's Blood in Shen Yi's hand.
"Yes, I'm awake, and I won't trust you casually, even if you and I are both sons of space." Shen Yi shook the blood of the Dragon God and said, "It's also your fault this time, right? Only you Only then can the Ancestor God of the Dragon, who never really existed, leave a drop of blood. Of course, the Supreme Council can also do it, but they will not help me like this. I will be grateful if they can deduct some points from me. What do you want to do next time?"
"I just want you to go to heaven." The girl finally replied.
"So you use this thing to seduce me?" Shen Yi smiled and shook his head: "But unfortunately, I will not be manipulated by you anymore, you are too committed to breaking the rules. We always thought that you broke the rules to fight against the city. Until this time, I confirmed my guess. Take a look at your current growth... The rule breaking brought about by the last battle is unprecedented, and the result is that you have grown so much all at once. So from the beginning, we You have misread the direction of your pursuit!"
"Rules are shackles,
Shackles me. The breaking of every chain of rules can make me grow even more. The girl replied. Perhaps because Shen Yi had already guessed the truth, the girl finally admitted.
Shen Yi nodded: "That's why it took you more than a hundred years to grow like this, but you have grown by leaps and bounds in the recent period? When you were just born in space, you didn't have any ability to influence the world, so You can only wait, as if getting the first pot of gold is always the most difficult. In the long waiting life, there are always some accidents that happen naturally. You grow up in the accident and gradually realize the rules for you Bondage. Your only knowledge allows you to learn how to create more accidents, help you grow better, and gain more wisdom as you grow, and then take more methods..."
He looked into the girl's eyes, suddenly full of pity: "This is not an easy process. From the moment I was born, I didn't receive any teaching, just like an artificial idiot who was raised in a dark room. The true god was reincarnated, and during the time when humanity still existed, all I felt was endless loneliness and desolation..."
The girl suddenly raised her head, and her eyes shot out.
This is the biggest reaction Shen Yi has ever seen from her since he saw her. Before that, the girl was almost always cold and lifeless. Until this moment, she looked at Shen Yi like Like a sharp sword, it almost pierced him completely.
She said, "What did you say?"
"Has there finally been a reaction?" Shen Yi was not surprised: "Yes, I know how you exist. I should have thought of it as early as the Dragon War."
Shen Yi smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "You said that you are a combination of inevitable factors and accidental factors. Last time I knew what your inevitable factors are. The will of the true God is always looking for opportunities, this is inevitable. But even the will of the true god needs a suitable time to come. After all, according to the rules, all life that exists in the city will be restricted by the city. …Unless there is some kind of accident, that is the accidental factor you mentioned. I have been looking for what this accident is, but unfortunately I have not found it. Until this time..."
Shen Yi paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "You know that I carried out this task very easily, so easy that I have enough leisure time to think about some problems that I have never thought of before, and occasionally I will recall the past when I am idle and bored. what happened."
Then he looked at the girl: "When I realized that you were probably taking advantage of the breaking of the rules to grow yourself because you didn't help Edmund, I had an idea... Could the accidental factor itself be a A loophole in the rules? When this idea was born in my mind, my brain seemed to open a door to the unknown maze and found a way to the correct answer! I began to imagine that if what you said by chance The factor is really a loophole in the rules, so considering that you have existed for a hundred years, this loophole should also take effect at that time. Interestingly, there were just a few major events that happened a hundred years ago... "
The girl's face has become paler.
Shen Yi continued to speak in a slow voice: "More than a hundred years ago, the third era's resistance war broke out. With the appearance of the true god, most of the Queres masters died, and the remaining seven masters were forced to ask the adventurers They made the most significant concessions, established a bloody city, and established a mission world. According to the historical records of the Purgatory Sect, the Queres people believe that the reason why adventurers resist desperately is not only the precarious life, but also an important reason, which is to Protect their descendants. I just got a diary in the valley, where a first-generation adventurer named Xiaobo launched the first resistance against the master for the same reason, indirectly confirming this point. The Queres people are convinced that the existence of offspring is not conducive to the control of adventurers, so they decided to cancel the ability of adventurers to reproduce, and at the same time kill all the life in the pregnant women to make them abort!"
"The establishment of the bloody city, the establishment of the mission world, the abolition of the fertility of adventurers, and a series of measures can be said to be a big deal in the entire space world. Such a large-scale project will inevitably have many problems. Queres did not think of it. Yes, this is the decision, which is directly a crucial loophole in the rules."
"This rule loophole comes from the definition of life. I don't know how the Queres people specifically defined the concept of life at that time, but from the Purgatory Sect, I found that the Queres people believe that life must have the most basic thinking and consciousness. Intellectual ability, that is to say, the specific definition should not exceed this category. But in this definition process, they ignored one thing... the growth of life!"
Speaking of this, Shen Yi's eyes narrowed, while the girl in white remained silent.
Shen Yi said leisurely: "Does sperm count as life? Does egg count as life?"
The girl looked directly at him without answering.
Shen Yi shook his head: "According to the rules, it doesn't count!"
Shen Yi spread his hands: "Look, here comes the problem. The Queres people had a very good idea, they thought that they had killed all the lives that were being conceived, and at the same time prevented the possibility of new life. The so-called worries. But in the process, they ignore the unformed life."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi pondered for a while: "There is a pair of men and women who just completed the process of granting life at that critical point, and its existence is not within the restrictions of the rules. It escaped the conception/fertilization/failure one step ahead of time. The fate of life will not be obliterated by the new rules, and it will get rid of the conditions in the old rules that control all the life that is conceived. It is independent of the rules, it is a loophole, unrestricted, and also unprotected...then It is the only chance for the will of the true god, and it is also the last chance."
Having said that, he stopped talking and just looked at the girl.
The girl finally spoke: "You said two things wrong. First, the Queres people do not allow humans to have offspring, not only because of the rebellion, but also because they also perceive the possibility of the reincarnation of the true god. Second, although there are omissions in the rules , but the system's self-protection system will still find and kill the child, so this omission is not fatal."
"Oh? Then how did she survive?" Shen Yi asked with a smile.
"Maternal love, and a little bit of luck." The girl replied: "The Queres are not human after all, and they will never understand why a woman can find out that there is a life in her body that is taking shape faster than the system. "
"..." Shen Yi understood.
A system has system limits, it may be infinitely powerful, but it must obey definitions.
It couldn't have found anything when the baby inside the female adventurer hadn't grown into a life that truly met the definition. On the contrary, the adventurer himself can perceive the problem through some subtle physiological changes in himself, some things that should have come but did not come.
"And then?" Shen Yi asked.
"The female adventurer knew what was waiting for her. She wanted to protect the child, and finally she thought of a way."
"any solution?"
"It was an era of change, and the mission world had already appeared. In order to ensure normal operation, the life in the mission world can reproduce, but their life attributes are purely spatial, and cannot exist alone."
"You mean... my God, she put you in the belly of a mission!" Shen Yi's eyes widened, and at this moment he finally understood what happened.
