Chapter 42 Angel Demon

Shen Yi focused his eyes on the girl in front of him, still dressed in white, with big bright eyes, standing barefoot on the lawn without any trace of dirt. Bubble Book Bar (m)

It stands to reason that every time people meet, they should get to know each other better.

However, Shen Yi felt that he hadn't made any progress towards her—everything was like seeing her for the first time. He still didn't know who she was, why she came here, what her name was, and even whether she was human.

Except for one thing, he could finally see her face.

A delicate, childish face.

That's all.

After a slight pause, Shen Yi said, "Long time no see."

"It's just that you don't want to see me." The girl's question and answer were still so direct.

Shen Yi couldn't help scratching his head.

Indeed, since the Selina incident, he never took the initiative to summon the girl in white. Although he knew that as long as he called her, the other party would definitely come, but he just didn't do so.

"Well, I admit, what happened last time had some influence on me..." Shen Yi chose his words carefully: "I'm a little scared, I'm afraid that something like Serena will happen again."

"I can understand." The girl's voice was still calm, as if she was not affected by any emotion.

"Then..." Shen Yi spread his hands: "As for the Tianlan team, are you really behind the scenes?"

The girl looked at Shen Yi calmly: "I'm not someone behind the scenes, I just provide them with some help they need."

"Why help them? What do you have to do with them?"

"I've helped you many times too, what do I have to do with you?"

"The problem is they've come to a dead end because of your help."

"You also faced Diablo once because of my help. Do you think it was easier to kill a demon at that time than to subdue a robot leader now?"

Shen Yi was completely stunned by these words.

That's right, at the beginning they also chose to challenge Diablo precisely because of the guidance of the girl in white. At that time, no matter how you looked at this task, it was almost impossible to complete it.

Therefore, if there is any difference between the Broken Blade team and the Tianlan team, the only difference between them is that they were also guided by the girl in white, one succeeded and the other failed.

Thinking of this at that moment, Shen Yi murmured: "Actually at that time...you didn't expect us to succeed, did you?"

"Yes." The girl in white replied.

Shen Yi suddenly realized in his heart: "So you were never here to help us."

"I said it a long time ago, I was here to help myself, but you never believed it."

Shen Yi was taken aback again.

The past images flashed in his mind, and the clear dialogue echoed in Shen Yi's ears.

"Can you tell me why you are helping us?"

"I am not helping you, but you are helping me..."

Yeah, she made that very clear from the beginning.

She never said who she was helping, but the adventurers themselves wishfully thought that this girl in white was the golden finger of their lives, a cheating tool for the city, that God favored them, and that they were the protagonists of their lives.

The reason why they have such an idea is also because the girl in white has gradually built up their confidence through repeated help. This kind of confidence is the root of their inflated self-confidence, and it is also the key to their destruction, making them more and more adventurous, and betting the future on shocking gambles again and again, until one day they lose everything.

If it wasn't for Serena's matter that made Shen Yi wary of her, maybe Shen Yi would continue on this road. In that case, the protagonist of the action this time might not be Team Tianlan, but Team Broken Blade.

Of course, the Broken Blade team may avoid the Tianlan team's mistakes and succeed, but the result is nothing more than continuing to trust the girl in white unconditionally in the future, until they fail in the end.

And that's the scariest part: as long as they're winning, they'll consistently trust the girl in white—the one who guides them to bet wildly.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh: "I used to think you were my angel, but now it seems that you are more like a devil wearing an angel's coat."

The girl in white replied: "I am not an angel, nor a devil. The problem of human beings is that good and evil are too extreme, either one's own person or the enemy, but the world is not that simple."

"That's just because you gave them hope and led everyone to the wrong perception step by step."

"Don't cities do the same thing?" the girl asked back.

Shen Yi was dumbfounded.

That's right, isn't the Bloody City doing the same thing?

Why do they complain about the city that made them enter the dangerous world again and again and threaten to kill them at every turn, but instead blame this girl who has never threatened them at all?

Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but smiled wryly: "It seems that I have no position to blame you at all. No matter what, you can only help us but not harm us. All the dangers are actually found by ourselves... those Deadly traps that we choose to jump into."

"Glad you recognize that."

"I thought you wouldn't feel happy." Shen Yi moved past the girl, and he noticed that her expression didn't change at all.

"Maybe one day, I will." Shen Yi couldn't help being stunned by the girl's answer.

After a while, he finally said: "Well, I won't blame you for the Tianlan team, although it did cause us a lot of trouble. But I don't understand, what are the things they did to you? What's the use?"

"If you want to subdue Megatron, it is far from enough to rely on their own strength without exploiting the loopholes in the system."

"I know this."

In the previous battles, the Tianlan team took advantage of the loopholes in the city rules to complete the challenge. If Wen Rou and Ou Yang hadn't been in the way, Night Demon might have completed the subjugation of Megatron with a slightly disabled body. At that time, even if he gave up the follow-up mission, he could still get at least three chances to summon Megatron for one hour each time.

The girl has continued: "It doesn't matter to me if they succeed or not as long as they can exploit those loopholes."

"So that's true, but it sounds like it doesn't do any harm to the city... If I remember correctly, you want to hurt the city."

"Indeed, there is no harm, but it can ensure that the loopholes in the rules are irreparable. The urban design system has the function of self-recovery and compensation, but it does not work immediately, but takes a long time. If during this time, Vulnerabilities have been exploited over and over again..."

Shen Yi understood: "It's like a broken wound on the human body. It can recover by itself if given a period of time. But if there are some small bugs always crawling around the hole, then not only will it not heal itself , it may rot instead, is that so?”

"It's eroded, it's just not down yet."

"Huh..." Shen Yi let out a long breath.

At this moment, he finally understood what the girl's purpose was for doing all this.

After understanding all this, many things are easier to handle.

You must know that many times, you are not afraid of your opponent's deceit, but you are afraid that you don't know what your opponent wants, and thus you don't know your opponent's weaknesses.

In the past, the reason why adventurers were grateful to the girl in white, and even listened to what she said, was because they didn't know what the girl wanted, and they instinctively felt that they had been favored. , it's really easy to have such a person taking care of you in the dark and appearing in such a harmless image

Unconditional trust in each other, thus losing the ability to think and judge independently.

But now, Shen Yi no longer has to worry about all this.

He laughed: "In this case, I just have a question I want to ask you, and I guess you will be happy to tell me."

"Are you trying to ask me why there is no energy crystal in this world?"

Shen Yi shrugged: "That's right."

"Because it cannot be manufactured."

"Can't be manufactured? What do you mean?" Shen Yi was puzzled.

"If you are given energy crystals, can you use an assembly line to produce Transformers?" the girl in white asked.

Shen Yi was taken aback, a light flashed in his mind at that moment, and he shouted: "I see, you mean Transformers are existences that technology cannot solve?!"

Yes, at that moment Shen Yi finally understood the crux of the problem.

I still remember that when he saw Starscream transformed, he felt that the existence of Transformers was completely unscientific. Not to mention that there is no basis for the existence of the intelligence of Transformers, even their volume change [Dzi Bead Change] is completely out of the basic scientific category. Needless to say, when an Autobot transforms into a human, its volume and mass can increase several times. A sound wave with a height of more than ten meters can even be transformed into a compact tape recorder. Where does the excess mass go?

There was a time when people believed in the omnipotence of science.

That in itself is bullshit.

Technology has never been omnipotent, it must follow the most basic scientific theories.

Transformers can think, and even feel pain. Every piece of metal on their body belongs to living organisms. It can be said that the existence of these guys is completely contrary to scientific theory.

In this case, although they also have energy crystals, the city cannot give the crystals as rewards to adventurers. The reason is very simple, if you just hand over the crystals to the city store to buy a body, that’s all. However, for an adventurer like Shen Yi who has his own arsenal, if he uses it to develop it himself, the city cannot provide the corresponding technology.

what to do?

The science and technology to create Transformers simply does not exist!

This is why adventurers cannot obtain energy crystals. This world may sound like a sci-fi world, but it is actually a magical world in essence. Its existence can only rely on one power, that is, the power of the city itself-dreams come true.

It's just that although the power of making dreams come true is powerful, the dreams themselves need to be weaved by people themselves.

Because of this, although the city can create a completely unscientific existence like Transformers, it will never be able to invent the science and technology to manufacture Transformers.

Because it doesn't exist.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the city has established such a complete ability system. At least for the masters of this world, the ability to design dreams is far more important than realizing them...

"But..." After understanding this, Shen Yi immediately thought of another question: "According to this, the design data of the space battleships and the Terminator I got from the city... are they all Does it exist objectively? Is it theoretically in line with reality, and can be created even if you return to the earth?"

"Yes." The girl replied.

"That's wrong!" Shen Yi immediately said: "The Terminator itself is a science fiction film. Humans have only invented movies, but they have never really possessed this kind of technological power. Let alone a universe that can travel across the universe Battleships. Yes, they could theoretically exist, but the technology was never invented."

"It's just that humans haven't invented it." The girl replied lightly.

Shen Yi's body trembled: "You mean..."

"Didn't you already know that?"

Shen Yi took a long breath: "The creator of the city, the former ruler, the god of mankind, the current elder of the Supreme Council...a certain alien species that already has a highly developed civilization..."
