Chapter 25: Redemption

Hao Qi opened his eyes violently, and there was a snow-white wall in front of him, and he immediately turned over and got up, and at the same time saw the situation in the entire room clearly.

This is a room that doesn't look too big, about twenty square meters, the whole room is a snow-white wall, there are no doors and windows, and there are no decorations, only a computer desk, a man who is already sitting in front of the computer desk with his back to Hao Qi.

The man seemed to be typing something on the keyboard on the computer desk, and the crackling sound kept going on, and what was he typing, because the man's back was blocked, so Hao Qi couldn't see what was in it at all.

"Hao Qi, what do you think of life?"

Just as Hao Qi was about to open his mouth to ask the man, the man spoke first: "Does the so-called life refer to the flesh of biological activities? flesh and bones, visceral nerves, can reproduce, can eat and obtain energy, is such an existence life? Or can it think, be conscious, and have the concept of you, me, and him is life?"

This inquiry made Hao Qi stop his original plan, and he didn't approach the man casually, but just frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" Also, how do you know that my name is ......?"

"Name?" The man who was knocking on something didn't look back, he still turned his back to Hao Qi and said, "It doesn't matter, does it? ”

Hao Qi thought for a while and said: "It should be a combination to be considered life, right? For example, a human being, or an animal, must first have flesh and bones, internal organs, nerves, or something, and then it is possible to rely on this body to obtain meaning, to be able to think, and so on, if there is a lack of consciousness, then this body is actually a simple protein, or a stack of a lot of elements, but if it loses the body, pure consciousness cannot exist, right?"

The man's action of tapping the keyboard paused for a moment, and then he said: "Yes, no, in fact, there are also consciousness bodies that exist apart from the physical body, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts and ghosts are actually counted, but that is too rare, and its consciousness is in a chaotic state, almost only instinct, which is not enough to use as a basis, but what if it is compared to virtual reality?"

"Virtual Reality ...... By the way, am I not in the shards of reincarnation?" Hao Qi suddenly remembered something.

The man ignored it, but continued: "If there is a virtual reality that can make living beings separate from the physical body and exist in it purely as consciousness, then are these consciousnesses existing in it life? Or are they just quantitative data without physical bodies? simple 0s and 1s, or is it just some kind of hallucinatory illusion?"

Hao Qi thought about it again before saying: "I think they should still be life, but they exist in another form, if the virtual reality you are referring to is reincarnation, then it itself is to include their souls in it, this is the essence of their lives, but they lack the body, so they should still be life, I think so." ”

"Is that ......" The man continued to tap on the keyboard, and did not say any words for a long time, until Hao Qi was a little impatient and was about to walk towards him, he continued: "What about those data lives that are generated by the program in the virtual reality? That is, the NPCs in your mouth, are they considered lifeforms?"

"Nature is ......" Hao Qi didn't know how to answer for a while, he instinctively wanted to say that those are not life, but if you put it from another angle, if it is in an extremely developed virtual reality, its degree of technology is far beyond Hao Qi's imagination, every NPC born in it is a real artificial intelligence, and it is a super artificial intelligence, they don't know that they are NPCs, they live in a virtual world, they can be born, grow, get married, have children, grow old, and die, then they are really not lifeforms?

"Don't know how to answer?"

The man turned his head, his face was very ordinary, and his eyes were a little dull, he didn't seem to have too much sanity in it, he stopped typing on the keyboard, but looked at Hao Qidao: "Actually, I'm already dead...... No, it should be that 'I' am dead, dead in the Great Destruction, I have survived in the Great Destruction for millions of years, and finally fell in the siege of several barbarian creatures, but my personal armament is a little special, so special that after 'I' died, the personal armament is still in operation, and I don't know how long it has been, you know, the flow of time outside is not equal, and at the same time, the factors of the Great Destruction, in short, it has been a long, long time, I have been resurrected, and I have inherited all my memories and knowledge, instead' I'm resurrected. ”

"But I didn't know that this was me, not 'me', I naturally put myself into 'my role', looking for humans, sheltering them, and then finding a way to break through the siege and return to the Nine Seas World, all of this is what I did, and during this period, I gradually discovered that I am different from 'me', I am not 'me', the real 'me' has died, and I am actually just a program, so ...... What the hell am I?"

The man spoke with that almost dull expression and tone: "Am I really who I am who I am?, or am I not a living being, just some kind of switch-like thing? Maybe this question is a meaningless moaning for many people, including you, but for me it is the greatest meaning of my existence, and I don't even know if I am alive or dead, or neither alive nor dead?"

Hao Qi listened to the man keep using me and me to talk about things, he was stunned for a long time, but fortunately, the meaning of these me, me and me is actually quite clear, and he understood the man's original meaning after thinking about it a little.

It turns out that the great scientist named Liu Weihao is actually dead, and the current Liu Weihao is just a program born of his special personal armament because of some changes, and when this program produces self-consciousness and thinking about self-consciousness, its logic seems to begin to go wrong, because it does not dare to confirm the meaning of its existence, or rather, it even has huge doubts about its own existence.

The man continued: "So after I returned to the Nine Seas World, I began to devote myself to studying 'I' undoubtedly gaining Adam's Pain outside, which is said to be something that can reverse life and death, and I don't know about my existence, so I want to get the answer by studying this thing, or really live." ”

"And then?" Hao Qi asked curiously.

"Then, I came into contact with the same existence as me, neither life, nor life, neither alive nor dead, it can only be described as existence, no, maybe it doesn't even exist, it is a peculiar state, and through the study of it, I know your existence, and I know the meaning of your existence, so I set up this game, hoping to meet you, and at the same time hope to be able to get salvation from you. The man continued.

"I, the meaning of my existence, and redemption, what the hell?" Hao Qi was stunned for a long time before asking.

The man shook his head and said, "I can't say it, I can't even describe it, but your existence is certain, just as I will inevitably meet you at this time, and say that to you, it will happen, and it has happened." ”

"Wait, wait. Hao Qi touched his head and said, "You mean that I will inevitably appear here and have such a conversation with you, and the reason why I can meet you here and have such a conversation is all done by you?"

The man continued to shake his head and said, "No, I can't do this, I'm just waiting for you here according to what must happen, so ......"

Hao Qi suddenly interrupted him and said, "No, I think I know...... So, you're the cause and effect of my coming back here? No, it's not just you, that's it, that's it......."

At this moment, Hao Qi thought of a lot, he sacrificed everything he had in the Seven Seas era in order to fight against the world's peerless, and then the god was launched according to the attribute of Gong, but he did not immediately resurrect perfectly, but had a conversation with Shi Zhen in an unknown space, knew some things, but got more questions, and at the same time, he also recalled in his mind that in that space, Shi Zhen and what he said, saying that he still had some cause and effect to end in this time period.

Cause and effect, Hao Qi thought of the scene he saw on the final battlefield in 19999, those people who obviously looked weak in strength, but when they attacked, they were enough to open up the world, their source of strength was too similar to the Turtle Longevity Exercise, but it was a thousand times stronger than this Turtle Longevity Exercise, and the biggest cause and effect in this world is undoubtedly the cause and effect of Xu Duo, saving lives and nurturing grace, this cause and effect is really big enough, and he also improved the Turtle Longevity Exercise in order to repay the favor and return the cause and effect, although it is not as exaggerated as seen on the final battlefield, but at least the Turtle Longevity Exercise has a way forward, It is no longer comparable to a set of ordinary and unremarkable exercises, if there are younger generations who have reached the inner qi realm, or even a higher level of mental and even divine appearance, then this set of exercises can naturally continue to be improved, generation after generation, and it may really become the scene that Hao Qi saw on the final battlefield.

And in addition to the cause and effect between many and Kameshou, he also took over the cause and effect with the great scientists of this era, and directly or indirectly told them information about the future, which can also be regarded as a cause and effect.

Up to this point, the man in front of him, who didn't know life and death, didn't know the state, he was able to come here to talk to him, and it was obvious that he had a causal entanglement with this man.

The man looked at Hao Qi there and seemed to have figured out something, and seemed to have more questions, and only said after a long time: "I hope to be able to get salvation from you." ”

"Redemption?" Hao Qi asked rhetorically, "What is salvation?" Or what kind of redemption is it? If you don't make it clear, how do I know what your so-called salvation is?"

The man nodded and said simply: "I want to be alive, or die completely, either way, this is the salvation I want." ”

Hao Qi suddenly felt a pain in the egg, he said: "It's good that I have this ability, figure it out whether it's good or not, I can't even change my life and death, otherwise why would I come to this era? So you look for me for salvation, this can't be good or not, and I'm not eloquent, I haven't studied philosophy or anything, if you want to hear me explain to you, so that you can find the meaning of life or existence, then you really don't have to think about it." ”

The man nodded again and said, "I know that you can't do this now, but you may be able to do it in the future, and what I want is the salvation you can give me when you can do this in the future." ”

After hearing this, Hao Qi shook his head again and again and said: "Pull it down, why do you think I came here?" After what else to say, I am trapped in this era, and I can't do it if I want to return to my own era, so please, don't come to beg me, it's better to find other big scientists to explain you?"

The man turned his back directly, and said while tapping on the keyboard: "No, this is also the reason why you are here, and this is also the reason why I have formed a cause and effect with you...... I have a way to get you back to your own time. ”

"Really!?" Hao Qi was immediately overjoyed, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, as long as you can send me back to my own time, then I will promise you, as long as you don't die, and I have this ability, then I will definitely fulfill your wish, okay?"

"Good. The man only said one word, and then he kept crackling and stirring something.

Hao Qi looked at the man's back for a long time, the man didn't say a word, and he finally couldn't help but say: "How do you send me back to my own time? Don't tell me that you plan to freeze or seal me until my time comes?"

"No, I can't do what you said, there's only one thing I can do, and that's just what you can do back to your time......"

"Resurrect the anti-scientist in this Adam fragment, and in the meantime, I intend to ......"

"Summon the God of Destruction!"
