Gate of Apocalypse

“What do you say? How does it feel to get your memory back? A lot of confusion has already been answered.” Dewey looked at Chen Xiaolian and smiled slightly.

“A lot, but not all.” Chen Xiaoliang nodded and swept his eyes around several people in front of him.

Dewey, Mr. Umbrella, Chen, Zhao Yun, and red-haired girls and punk teenagers.

Plus myself, the seats around the slab have been filled.

After recovering the memory lost in room zero, both parties confirmed that Chen Xiaoliang did get many answers.

But there are still too many questions unanswered.

Who is Tatsune?

Why would he want to get weird?

Why did these old monsters decide to abandon Zero?

How did Tai Yi become today's GM?

“Long time no see, Chen Xiaoliang.” Mr. Umbrella smiled at Chen Xiaocai for a moment: “When I first met you, I didn't expect you to get permission one day to enter this room and sit with us. ”

“Sounds great, but I don't think so.” Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly: “You people, whoever sticks out a finger can press me to death? ”

He now clearly remembers how he was beaten to no avail when he tried his best to face the white with the power of a heavenly knife.

And now he's even losing the power of the Skyknife. Compared to these old monsters in front of you, you are so weak that you look like an ant.

Chen Xiaocai felt like he was now, like a young boss who had just earned a little money, suddenly dragged into a dinner with a rank big man like Daddy in a horse.

“Don't be ridiculous.” Mr. Umbrella smiled slightly: “You've come across singularities. You'll see how good this is for you in the future. ”

“It's been so long now, I don't seem to realize the so-called benefits...” Chen Xiaolei grinned.

“Well, we're all here. Dewey, it's time for you to tell the truth. Sounds like the most of us, you know.” Gabriel snapped a finger at Dewey: “My curiosity is hungry and thirsty! ”

“No. People aren't there yet.” Chen stretched out a finger and swayed: “Taiichi has been completely refreshed, but there is one other person, have you forgotten? Although he was not involved in the establishment of the Zero City, he was at least one of our companions. ”

“From the white...?” Gabriel frowned: “Didn't that guy die? ”

But his eyes fell on Zhao Yun and he patted his head: “Well, with Xiaoyun, was it brought out of the end of the world? ”

“No. Earlier.” Chen Shaking Head: “That time I borrowed the Life Praise score from Orange, I actually... I succeeded. He's just stuck in a copy and hasn't gotten out of it. And then he...”

Chen pointed his finger at Chen Xiaolian: “Become the soul of this boy's battle. ”

“What!” Gabriel looked at Chen Xiaocai and shouted: “Why didn't you say that last time? ”

“Because you never asked me if I was my soul in battle.” Chen Xiaolian shrugged his shoulders. This set, he learned from zero.

And his eyes went to Dewey.

The last time the white sky was set free, it caused the destruction of the entire Zero City.

And now…

“Let it out, it's all right this time.” Dewey nodded: “As part of us, he also has the right to know. ”

“If he goes crazy again..." Gabriel's bitter face: “You haven't forgotten the last time, let's kill him a lot. ”

“Not this time.” Dewey shook his head: “Chen Xiaoliang, do as I say. ”

“Okay...” Chen Xiaocai hesitated for a moment, nodded with a bite, releasing white from the system.

A black gas landed, rising white and falling on the ground again, and his eyes were as clear as before.

“Well, in vain, I know you're in a hurry to go out and kill people now. But let's hear it first.” Dewey smiled in vain: "You're not interested in what happened after you died, are you? ”

White eyes coldly swept over the faces of several people.

“Look, we have a lot of people here.” Dewey's face has a brighter smile: “They all say you're crazy, but I know you're not. If you do it now, you know you can't win. ”

He nodded in silence and sat down on the grass next to the slab, but never uttered a word.

“Well, this time the people are really all together. Dead Baiqi and Zhao Yun, locked themselves in a copy of Gabriel and Orange, and... the least known, just got the 'divine character’ of Chen Xiao.” Dewey stretched out his two fingers and tapped twice on the tablet in front of him: "Now the story begins! Chen, about your part, do you want to tell me yourself, or should I? ”

Chen smiled and lifted his hand at Dewey.

“Well, I'll tell everyone.” Dewey leaned backwards and changed into a comfortable position: “We all know that the singularity brings us too much. As we all know, the singularity is part of the original template of the world. But nobody knows who the singularity is, separated from the initial template.

Even as a GM's Tai Yi, this is not clear. The odd thing is that he ‘found' it, but before he found it, it existed in that corner of the world.

Many, many years ago, when the world was first created, the system created a GM at the same time. Native, first-generation GM.

As the eldest son, he was different from all the GMs that followed. To be precise, there have only been two GMs in the world - the first generation, and all of them since then.

The capabilities of first generation GMs and all GMs thereafter differ from day to day. Initially, the development team did not envisage limiting GM, perhaps because they had too little experience at the time. So soon, the first generation of GMs had their own consciousness and wanted to get out of the control of the development team.

He was strong enough that even the development team could not destroy him alone. Clearly, it was a system subordinate management process, but he was capable of changing the rules of the system.

The development team assembled all the players, posted the task, tried to beat him, but they failed.

The development team created countless electronic champions who wanted to defeat him, but they failed.

The development team tried to wipe him out with the system, but they failed as well.

Ultimately, the development team found that they had no way to eliminate the GM within the existing framework.

So they chose to destroy everything, empty everything, reset everything.

The original GM was strong, but he still couldn't jump out of the world. So when the whole world was wiped out, he was wiped out too.

- That's what the development team thinks.

But in fact, the first GM didn't die.

Towards the end of the world, he separated the initial template of a small world with authority and power that we could not imagine, creating a refuge and hiding one of his own. Even the development team did not find the shelter with the original GM.

When the new world was rebuilt, the development team learned its last lesson, created a brand new GM and significantly limited its capabilities and capabilities.

This brand new GM is the one we know. It has nothing to do with the GM of the first generation, and the ability is only a tiny fraction of the original GM.

But perhaps the seeds of resistance, buried in the bottom of the world forever. Over time, Taiyi also gradually wants to leave the hair group and out of the control of the system.

And by chance, he discovered what the original GM had separated, that little initial template.

He called it singularity.

Then, Tai Yi found us and joined us in building 33 days of singularity, today's Zero City.

But when Tai Yi discovered the singularity, the original GM's split was not inside.

After the world had been reset, the split had left. Though a split man, he lost all of his abilities and memories from the first generation of GM, leaving only a piece of blank paper.

Nevertheless, before it was destroyed, the first generation of GM left him with one of its most precious legacies.

The initial template of the world is naturally defective because it is partly separated. And this defect leads to a loophole in the world.

In certain circumstances, some people gain some of the player's abilities without being monitored by the system, but they can still grow, become stronger, and even copy more of their kind.

And that split, that's the initial loophole.

He, the origin of all the loopholes. ”

When Dewey said this, Chen owed himself slightly and bowed with a smile to everyone in front of him to pay tribute.

Chen Xiaolei looked up in horror and looked at the sun.

Chen was just sitting there smiling and not shocked by the waves on his face.

Chen... is the ancestor of the loophole!

He remembers the conversation he had the first time he saw an incumbent GM.

GM explains to him the difference and nature of the awakener from the player, as the awakener is a small act he does himself. However, when referring to Chen Xiaoliang himself, he did not explain why the loopholes were created.

Because even GM doesn't know why the Vulnerable exists!

“You... lied to us from the beginning?” Orange faces cold and stares dead at the stars.

“No.” Chen shook his head: “At first, I didn't have my own memories. I'm just a split person, and I don't inherit the memories of that body that has been destroyed. At first sight... I really thought I was just like you guys. ”

“I believe him.” Dewey faintly said, "Well, everyone here knows the next thing. Too many singularities, found several of our loopholes, and worked with us for 33 days. Halfway through, however, he withdrew in vain, intending to fill the Yellow Springs with killing. But we still left his place in thirty-three days. Until… he came back, intending to destroy this shelter, which we had so hard to come by. ”

“When I heard him say before dying that thirty-three days was nothing but an illusion that would eventually be destroyed, I just thought he was an idiot.” Gabriel smiled and sighed low: “I didn't expect this to come true. ”

“In order to stop him from destroying 33 days, we were helpless and could only kill Baiqi together, and Zhao Yun died in Baiqi's hands.” Dewey laughed at both of them: "But after all the time you've lived together at the end of the world, that resentment should be erased now. Thirty-three days, why does it look like this now, that neither of you knows. ”

“Say." He said unemotionally.

Dewey and Gabriel Orange glanced and sighed softly: "We always thought that 33 days after it was built, it was completely safe and the development team could never find us and control us. But we're wrong. One person, even after 33 days of hiding, was equally unable to remove the shackles wrapped around him by the system. ”

Zhao Yun glanced at Yilin: “Taiyi? ”

“Yes.” Dewey nodded: “Tai Yi.

Have you ever noticed that 33 days after we started building, the system stopped hunting all the time?

At the time, we thought we had succeeded in evading the surveillance of the system, but the opposite was true: the system knew everything from beginning to end, only to destroy 33 days together with us.

Taiichi knows when the system refresh will arrive. Before the refreshments arrived, we gathered in the Palace of Everlasting Life to see what was happening outside, with pride.

At that time, we felt like in a storm that destroyed everything, only a few of us could hide in a sturdy house, look at the storm outside and the lightning flashes.

But we were wrong. This house, it's not as sturdy as my door thought.

While the outside world was being refreshed, 33 days began to collapse. And the starting point for collapse is Tai Yi.

Thirty-three days ago, it was such a vast whole world, but in just a few minutes, it began to destroy and fade and collapse into countless pieces.

Even the Hall of Everlasting Life, which symbolizes us, where the gods of the thirty-three heavens are, is now like this ruin.

Baiqi, Zhao Yun, I'm glad that you were dead, without suffering, despair and helplessness like we had.

When we thought it was inevitable that 33 days would be destroyed with the outside world and refreshed, Tai Tzu made a decision.

He left for 33 days and returned to the outside world with a little residual power.

We do isolate 33 days from the outside world, and the first is the only bridge between the outside world and 33 days. As long as he leaves, the system will not be able to continue locking the coordinates for 33 days.

But we all know what it means to leave 33 days. ”

Dewey lowered his head: "Too much sacrifice saved us, but together with the whole world, he accepted the refresh of the system. And what's left are the lives of a few of us, and the thirty-three days that have been ruined.

After that, we finally understood that 33 days is not the final solution.

We left for 33 days to find another path.

To this day, the system has undergone several refreshes. Before every refresh comes, we will return here to escape destruction and reconstruction outside. Wait till it's all over, then get out of here and go back to the outside world.

But in 33 days, it's not as good as it was when we first built it. Without too much help, we can't fix it anymore. The house, it's broken, and it's only going to get worse and worse over time.

Although the system cannot be completely destroyed for 33 days at a time, every time the outside world is refreshed, it spills over here and destroys part of it.

Thirty-three days, getting smaller and worse. Finally, after the last refresh, it had only one last tiny spot left.

We realize that this shitty house is no longer capable of surviving the next storm.

We simply opened the door and locked the most important asset, the cornerstone on which the house depended, securely opening up all other spaces and then separated ourselves. We hope that perhaps those other users will discover something that we have not yet discovered.

This is today's Zero City. ”
