Chapter 800 Possibilities Beyond the Blueprint

Facing the slowly flashing dark red light of the "God of Wisdom", Agou was obviously still a little nervous and fearful. He subconsciously shrank his head next to Shirley's legs, but after being nervous for a while, he slowly moved himself and Shirley together. The story told to the ancient "god" in front of me.

A disaster caused by a cultist, a deep hound that was no different from other deep demons, an instinctive "eating", a symbiotic chain - and human nature.

In the eyes of Agou's empty skeleton, the green fire flickered brightly and dimly. It gradually relaxed in the narration, and then lay down and leaned close to Shirley, who stretched out his hands to touch the ground. He rubbed Agou's head and added a few words from time to time.

After they finished telling their stories, Pilot 2 was silent for a long time. The stars-like lights slowly flickered on and off, seeming to show that the "God of Wisdom" was thinking complexly (of course, it could also simply be... Switched to breathing light mode).

After an unknown amount of time, it suddenly broke the silence: "So, you gained human nature, and your symbiont became a 'deep demon'... Little girl, what is your demon form like?"

Shirley was a little surprised and subconsciously looked up at Duncan, who nodded gently to her.

The crackling sound of bones sounded on the boat. In just a few seconds, Shirley's body quickly switched to another posture - dark-colored bone plates covered her originally thin and short body. Bone wings like jointed limbs extended out from behind her, and her body gradually grew taller, and her maturity was mixed with ferociousness and weirdness.

Then she carefully pulled the skeletal limbs behind her, carefully holding on to the side of the ship while controlling her balance: "This ship is a bit small..."

Pilot 2's "eyes" were fixed on Shirley, and the buzzing in its body became noticeably louder.

"Sample coupling..." The "God of Wisdom" finally spoke, with obvious surprise and confusion in its always calm and rational voice, "Individuals outside the blueprint! Why?"

Shirley was trying to maintain her balance. When she heard this, she was stunned and raised her head: "What?"

"...In this 'sanctuary', everything is manufactured and developed according to the blueprint. Even the extinction and disintegration of the sun itself are within the original design. In theory, only what happens inside this 'world' conforms to the original design. I calculated the results," Pilot 2 explained, "but we have not designed...an individual like you."

Its eyes moved between Shirley and Agou.

"This dog head... the situation of the deep hound is still within the possibility, because the deep demon is essentially unable to generate rationality independently due to original defects. It is possible that external 'human' stimulation can allow them to acquire acquired thinking ability, although The probability of this is very low, at least there is a probability...

“But you…you confuse me, little girl.

"If you follow the original parameters set by Pilot One in the blueprint, you should be dead now - although humans and ghost demons are indeed of the same origin, the 'transformation' process you have experienced is not reasonable, and the results are even more inconsistent. …original design.”

The dark red light gradually became brighter, staring at Shirley in confusion.

It's a pity that the person involved is more confused than that.

However, after being confused for a while, Shirley gradually came to her senses. She hesitated and pointed to her chest: "Maybe it's because of this?"

The criss-crossing pitch-black bone fragments were woven into a "bone cage" that accommodated two beating hearts, and inside this bone cage, there was a cluster of green fire burning quietly.

Pilot 2 stared at the small cluster of flames. For a long time, its eyes fell on Duncan.

"Fire Usurper, I want to talk to you."

Duncan was startled for a moment and reacted quickly, but then subconsciously raised his head and looked around: "But you don't have a place to talk privately here, do you?"

Pilot 2 did not speak, but suddenly there was a slight "click" sound from its central host. Immediately afterwards, Duncan saw a gap suddenly opened under the tombstone-like cabinet, and a delicate mechanical The structure pops out of it - it's a slot.

Duncan frowned subconsciously, then thought of something, immediately reached out and groped around on his body, and touched something cold.

It was the doll's brass key—the one with the infinity symbol on the end.

The key was deforming in his hand. In front of everyone, the brass key with the handle with the "infinity" symbol melted like wax, and then condensed into a delicate rectangular object. The complicated details were vaguely visible on the black shell. The texture has a delicate metal interface at the end, and the complex metal contacts are clearly visible.

Duncan was no stranger to the "look" of the key - that was when he first tried to use flames to explore the secrets inside the key. At that time, he saw the true appearance of the brass key, and also saw Reached the scene where the New Hope disintegrated and fell in this world.

He raised his head and saw a dim blue light flashing around the slot on the surface of Pilot 2.

A deep voice came into his ears: "The activation key of New Hope is universal."

This one turns out to be a starter key...the other one is a special navigation key...

Duncan understood the essence of these two "clockwork keys" in his heart, and then under the curious and nervous eyes of the people around him, he nodded slightly and took a step forward.

But at this moment, Alice suddenly tugged at his sleeve. The doll lady seemed to have some resentment and looked up at the red light of the pilot No. 2: "Let me make a deal first, this is my key."

Pilot No. 2 was silent for a moment: "... lend it to me first."

"Oh," Alice let go of Duncan's arm, but looked at it with some concern, "Then don't break it! I still have it to wind up..."

Duncan nodded solemnly-the doll lady was finally relieved.

The "start key" with a delicate metal interface was inserted into the slot of the pilot No. 2, and a crisp "click" sound came to Duncan's ears.

Everything around him disappeared, and the endless peaceful pure white descended in front of him with this sound.

And after a short second, the pure white world that seemed to be extremely empty suddenly showed an amazing scenery!

The vast plains roared and spread, lush vegetation covered the plains in the blink of an eye, rivers rushed on the plains, the distant city outline was vaguely visible at the end of the horizon, the sky was stained with a layer of light blue, and then there were clouds with wonderful lavender, and a dazzling sun finally appeared at the high zenith, shining on everything.

Duncan stood on a small hill, a place where he could overlook a large area of ​​plains and rivers.

A tall and thin man in a white robe, dressed like some kind of scientific researcher, with messy hair and a tired look stood in front of him.

"This is one of my creators," he suddenly said, "After the first power-on, he told me that if I want to make friends with humans one day in the future, I can use his appearance."

"... Is it the one who set the lighting mode for you?" Duncan asked subconsciously.

"That's another one," the man whispered. He turned around and looked at the plain. "I have many creators, and they left me a lot of things... appearance, advice, the meaning of thinking, countless codes, personality data, and... those beautiful lights."

"... This place is beautiful," Duncan was silent for a while, and spoke softly. He looked up and saw an unknown huge bird suddenly flying across the sky. The colorful and dazzling wings seemed to sprinkle a little light in the air, and then gradually dissipated in the air in the distance, "Your hometown?"

"No." Pilot No. 2 shook his head.

Duncan was stunned: "?"

"...I can't remember what my hometown looks like," Navigator No. 2 was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, "I iterated myself again and again, trying my best to keep the original data in each iteration, but no matter how careful I am, they are still constantly damaged, misplaced, unreadable, and unrepairable. Even if everything looks 100% restored, the appearance of my hometown is still changing beyond recognition bit by bit."

He paused, and there seemed to be a sigh here, but he didn't. He was just silent for a few seconds, and then continued: "This is the scenery I 'guessed' based on the only remaining vague description. It will probably be a little similar to my hometown."

"...Rotten?" Duncan hesitated and asked cautiously.

"Yes," Navigator No. 2 nodded, "Although at the beginning, I thought I could avoid it by constantly iterating and updating myself, but it turns out that none of us can escape this process."

Duncan was silent for a while and did not continue on this topic.

"What do you want to tell me?" he asked. "...You 'created' an individual that was not in the blueprint design," Navigator No. 2 turned around and looked into Duncan's eyes, "Do you know what this means?"

"You mean Shirley?" Duncan frowned, "...Well, at first I didn't expect her change to be so incredible to you, but strictly speaking, my participation in this matter should not reach the level of 'creation', right?"

"For a closed-loop system whose ending is doomed from the beginning, even if a speck of dust that is not in the plan appears, it is a subversion of the entire system," the other party still stared at Duncan's eyes with an extremely serious expression, "You exerted influence, and then a subtle change appeared in the blueprint that had been fixed long ago - and this change did not lead to 'self-destruction'. The girl named Shirley survived and still exists stably today, which made me dispel one of my biggest concerns."

Duncan was a little curious: "The biggest concern?"

"...I was worried that the 'new world' you created would be a larger 'infinite sea', because in my calculations, this is very likely."
