Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 60: The future guided by prophecy

—What the monkey-faced eagle pursues is such a distorted way of living.

Although his own life was threatened, Russell felt a kind of pity.

Staring at the girl with dim yellow eyes, Russell read the essence of the other party.

Like a moth practicing sucking on a fresh flower petal.

"This is probably one thought of heaven and one thought of hell..."

Russell murmured softly.

If the monkey-faced eagle did not choose to "copy and separate" himself after uploading his thoughts, he would still be able to maintain his personality and humanity.

Even under the coercion of Chairman Sai Lun, he lost his material body, projected his consciousness into the network, and turned into an electronic ghost wandering in the data world...he can still retain the self-esteem that belongs to human beings.

He doesn't even need to do anything—even if he descends directly into the body of Naraku-7 and combines the two wills into one, it will not fundamentally affect or change anything.

But what he used to fuse with Naraku-7 was not his "all". He took away all the personality of Naraku-7, but what he gave was only a copy of himself...

From that moment on, he changed from a living human being to an infinitely proliferating thinking virus.

It was also from then on that he became the "Egg of Dusk".

At present, she is still a monkey-faced eagle in essence, not the "dusk" she claims. Although there is a copy used to fuse with Naraku-7 and come down in front of him. But it's like a marionette in the hands of the "Monkey Eagle Program"... or rather, the "Monkey Eagle Virus".

The essence of this spreading virus is still just a monkey-faced eagle.

True twilight did not hatch. Now it's just an egg that doesn't even have an embryo.

When she really made up her mind and took the final step—split herself into countless parts and implant them into the brains of everyone in the world.

Submissive, rebellious, aware, unaware... many mixed and entangled spirits are entangled and gathered in an instant, how much of the personality that belongs to the "monkey-faced eagle" can be left after being washed away?

At that point, her existence will be nothing more than a conduit—a tool used to connect the consciousness of humans all over the world. The "pure monkey-faced eagle" stored in the network can't control the overall situation at all.

All human will, consciousness, and subconsciousness will be completely condensed by her, forming a distorted and invisible aggregate.

— to become the so-called "god of the crowd".

At the end of the road she pursues, she will inevitably face the cliff of "losing herself". If she doesn't take the last step, all previous efforts will be in vain; but if she takes this step, everything she has so far will be destroyed by her own hands.

"You're not the Egg of Dusk at all..."

Russell sighed softly: "You are just the eggshell that is pregnant with new life."

"If that is my fate, I accept it."

The girl replied flatly.

She could sense that Russell had read her essence.

She can also vaguely realize what her future is.

"In the final analysis, if the so-called 'twilight' is really the embodiment of the end of the world. Then it cannot have a real personality. A person's time is short and limited, and the world he comes into contact with is only in human society. A fragment of it. And human civilization is so small compared to this world. The 'personality' that can be used to carry human rationality, in the eyes of the twilight of the annihilation, is such a small container."

The girl stared at Russell, as if looking at the moon at night.

There is a certain awareness in her words: "If it really comes to that moment... I will not escape.

"This world is filthy and corrupt. It is indeed time to be destroyed.

"I think you should also know that the world's resources are about to run out."

Hearing this, Ringo beside Russell suddenly widened his eyes.

She cast disbelieving eyes on Russell, hoping he would yell at him.

But Russell just didn't say a word, and continued to watch the girl.

Seeing her reaction, the girl in the wheelchair couldn't help laughing. She clapped her hands and raised her voice to let out a crisp laugh: "Look at her, look at her! How shocked she is, what kind of emotion is in her eyes?" fear.

"Just like her reaction, other people will only react more than her. Once this news is announced or leaked, it will definitely trigger an unprecedented panic that will sweep the world... This time it will usher in the biggest and last time in human history. A war. Not to compete for anything, but to consume the lives of the 'eliminated'.

"The last war has completely destroyed the land. How many of the seven empty islands we can use will be left after the war? In any case, it is impossible for humans to make non-renewable resources reappear. Even if humans The number of people is reduced to one-seventh, one-twentieth, one percent... It will also usher in an irreversible end.

"It's like a person who has been pronounced by a doctor to have an incurable disease, and will usher in a slow death in pain and exhaustion. In this case, it's better to let it die more quickly—let its uncorrupted internal organs Give it to me. In this way, its death may become the nourishment of my new life."

Hearing this, Ringo frowned in disgust.

She took a breath, held it in her mouth, but couldn't get it out.

She seemed to want to refute the other party, but she couldn't think of what to say for a while.

And Russell just closed his eyes and whispered softly:

"...What arrogance."

"Why," the girl asked back, "did I say something wrong?

"From a rational point of view, since the demise of the world is irreversible, why can't it be used to support you and me?"

...It was the mentor who killed her.

The moment he heard this, Russell suddenly realized this.

The "secret of the end of the world" that the mentor told Monkey Faced Eagle actually destroyed his sanity and personality.

That is indeed knowledge that mortals cannot comprehend and cannot bear...

When he learned that he had the "possibility of twilight" and "the incarnation of the end of the world", the monkey-faced eagle had already been possessed.

Since then, the monkey-faced eagle no longer regards other humans as its own kind, but regards itself as a higher level of existence than human beings, or even human civilization.

Perhaps it is also because of this that he has the determination and perseverance to abandon his body, because he knows that he will have a "future to dominate the end of the world" and will not die here. That's why he used himself as an isolated copy and the first experimental product without any experimentation, and introduced his consciousness into the online world...

While this sounds resolute, brave, and crisp, it's something no mature scientist would do. Because this does not conform to the scientific attitude that a researcher should have... Theories without verification and conjectures without experiments are just false. But he ignored this intentionally or unintentionally—because he didn't think he would die there. This is not like a scientist with a professional education background and rich research experience, but more like a self-taught folk inventor.

It is also because of this that he will create a copy of himself to impregnate Naraku-7's mind with a superior attitude, and turn the data storing his own consciousness into a virus, and consciously disperse it to others. In order to spread himself, he even used Naraku-7's body as a consumable tool~www.wuxiahere.com~ to confuse innocent synths and make them his own marionettes. Because he subconsciously did not regard those people as his own kind, nor did he have the guilt of polluting the minds of others.

When he did such a thing, he was indeed no longer human.

Russell suddenly thought of a paradox about prophecy—

Like the stories he had read before, Harry Potter and Voldemort.

Voldemort knew that someone who could defeat him was about to be born, so he prepared to kill him in advance. But this just confirms the next sentence of the prophecy, making Harry Potter "a formidable enemy of Voldemort's mark, and will possess powers that the Dark Lord does not know". And this "unknown power" was born precisely because of his attack.

Those who heard the prophecy tried to interfere with the prophecy, but instead it hit the mark and fulfilled the prophecy.

It is precisely because the monkey-faced eagle believed in the existence of "Twilight" at that time and heard the prophecy about "Twilight", and finally became the egg of Dusk.

If he hadn't heard that prophecy then... what would happen now?
