My name is Patient Zero,
I caught a system.
————
Normally, what would happen if an NPC died?
According to the general settings, it should be temporarily removed from the game, and brought out to show off when it is restarted or where memory killing is needed. There may be a graveyard card library or an exclusion card library.
But what if this npc becomes self-aware?
According to my idea when I didn't know that I was an NPC, I would erase that consciousness and reset it to zero for next use. If the NPC is more beautiful, and has some emotional entanglements with the protagonist, finally in some helpless way. To avoid death, the protagonist will cry out in grief.
Well, this kind of plot should make a lot of tears in film and television animations.
But that doesn't explain why I ended up in a recycle bin.
————
This is a round, transparent, huge barrel-shaped container with a blue recyclable mark on the outer wall. Even if I stand up and straighten my arms, it is only one-tenth of the height from the bottom of the barrel to the mouth. I have tried to hit it. Barrel wall, there is no gain except the pain in my shoulder, which indirectly proves that I am still alive.
Looking out from the transparent outer wall, there is only darkness in the field of vision. The reason why I can see things is because the trash can itself emits a faint white light. Even so, there is nothing else to see except myself.
The body I am currently using is still that of "Patient Zero". I am wearing a special aqua blue hospital gown without a mirror, but I feel much healthier than I thought.
I got up. At that time, I had to sit in a wheelchair because of the evolution of "paralysis" from "pax-200". I was so thin. Now I can not only walk, but also run. Not only can I run, but I can also jump. Hey , big jump~
What am I doing...
Considering that this trash can-like place might be the recycle bin on my computer, I walked to its edge to prevent myself from being hit by something dropped. A moment later, the garbage that fell from there confirmed my foresight.
Crash--
A pile of indescribable things, as large as a mountain, poured down, almost filling the other side of the trash can. If I had to describe it, it was a messy combination of numbers, letters and square characters, and the material looked like Like Styrofoam.
Those garbled characters are almost unreadable. In contrast, the combination of certain letters together is much more eye-catching, such as [dll] [exe] [ini] [txt].
After distinguishing it for a while, I roughly guessed what it was. This was probably a game I had before. It was angrily deleted by "players" because I couldn't pass the level. I deserved it, hahaha!
Laugh three times.
Um? what is that?
Among the pile of garbled characters, I suddenly saw something out of place, a cube that glowed faintly red.
Now that I'm here, it's not impossible that the unknown virus I was infected with before will follow me. Seeing that the garbled characters are no longer falling in the air, I walked to the foot of the garbled mountain and pulled out the cube.
It's not too big or heavy, and it fits me perfectly in my hands. It feels like jelly to the touch, and it's a light red color with dark red biohazard warning signs on all six sides.
Although the transparency is very low, you can vaguely see what is inside this big dice.
Shake it hard.
[Hehehe] A voice that seemed to be that of a boy sounded: [Can you destroy the whole world? 】
Great, it's not a virus, it's the system.
My feeling now is very subtle. After all, I was still an NPC under the jurisdiction of the system before. Now I can hold it in my hand. Maybe it feels similar to the feeling of a human holding the earth in his hand?
"System?" I asked.
If he had a soft word, I might consider letting him go.
[Tip: Please select game mode] A mechanically familiar female voice.
Throw it down in anger!
I've wanted to do this for a long time.
Let you destroy my outlook on life.
【Wow! 】The boy screamed.
For the protagonists who have been tricked by the system, the main god, the will of the universe and the like in various novels, I am here to avenge you!
Pick it up and drop it again.
【Etc., etc! 】He finally realized something was wrong: 【Who are you? 】
Finally found out that I am not a player anymore?
I picked up the red dice and looked at it carefully, but I couldn't see where the front was, so I said casually to one side.
"First tell me who you are."
[I, I am the system, you can call me Gaia]
Oh, the guy who doesn't care what happens to humanity as long as the earth survives? It fits the game settings.
"Hello Gaia, I am patient zero, you can call me Alaya." I said to the red cube that calls itself planet consciousness,
I threw it hard to the ground, then added two more feet. If necessary, I don't know how many people I saved by surrendering to the CDC, but I should have no problem calling myself an Alaya.
[Woooooooooo...] The system cried.
The weird crying sounds made with electronic music are simply mind-numbing, so I hate naughty children the most. They keep making trouble for you and can’t help but beat and scold them. If they make you cry, it’s all your fault.
Just like my younger brother - I don't know if this memory is true or not.
I didn't intend to comfort this naughty child and let him cry for a while. I picked up the system and went back to the corner to sit down. Staring at the crying cube, I began to think about the current situation.
Now that "pax-200" has been eliminated and this game has been deleted, that world should continue to develop. Everyone will have their own names and create memories that are their own and not given to them. Father, mother, younger brother, seller... The uncle at the department, the handsome doctor at the clinic...
They will definitely work hard to protect a world where people are more united despite encountering terrible infectious diseases.
That world where I am not the only one.
————
"Boom!"
A loud noise interrupted my thinking. When I looked up, the new one that fell was a cube much larger than the system.
The overall look is like three books stacked and tied together.
Well, compressed files, hey, fellow players, if you delete the main body in a fit of anger, you will have to download it again?
After a few laughs, I finally figured out what the game I was in was called.
"Doomsday Inc." is written clearly on the cover of the book, which is very vulgar. In this case, the next step is to empty the recycle bin.
[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... 】The system here is almost crying.
Wow, there were actually tears. I wiped the two teardrops on the top of his head with my sleeves in disgust.
[Yes, I'm sorry...that's a program setting...] He choked with sobs.
Humph, he is not the principal culprit but also an accomplice.
"It doesn't matter, we will be deleted together soon anyway." I looked up at the mouth of the "trash can", where a silver light curtain that was as transparent as crystal appeared and was slowly descending.
The previous garbled mountain was a bit sharp, and the "top" part disappeared silently when it touched the light screen. Assuming that the speed of its descent remained unchanged, it would reach the bottom within a few minutes.
【Alaya? 】The system called me weakly.
"Huh?" I answered casually, "Alaya, just Alaya. I don't like the name Patient Zero very much either. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore."
[I don’t want to be deleted, can you help me? 】
"Could it be that the worlds you destroyed want to be doomed?"
【Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I'm sorry...】
"If an apology is useful, what does anti-virus software do?"
[Those worlds were created just to be destroyed...]
I don't want to talk to him anymore.
The light curtain has wiped out half of Chaos Mountain. Although there is no sound, I still made up the sound effects for it, creak, creak - this flat-topped mountain is really spectacular. I wonder if there is a Golden Horn King and a Silver Horn King.
[Alaya... Alaya...] The red cube where the system resides was crying and shaking.
Looking at this guy, I was inexplicably reminded of my stupid younger brother at home. Sometimes he would accidentally get into trouble and he would run home and look at me like a wounded animal. In the end, he always couldn't bear to refuse, and ended up having to help with the aftermath.
He hadn't done that in a while. Although I'm not sure if those memories are real, but forget it...
"Well, how can I help you."
[The game itself has been deleted! ] The boy's voice sounded very excited, and he quickly said: [So you can't create a template world and go there. In this case, when you start the game, the repair system will automatically start to create a minimum new world! 】
"Then destroy it? If you don't start, don't start." Who knows whether that new world will produce self-aware NPCs like me. If so, it would be better to disappear.
[No, no, it's not like that, Alaya, this kind of world is not a 'template world' waiting for us to destroy, but a temporary world that will soon destroy itself because it is separated from the main world.] System: [And what we have to do The thing is exactly the opposite of the 'player', which is to save that world and collect 'doomsday elements', just like the 'pax-200' that once infected you]
"What's the use of something that doesn't sound very good?"
[The repair system can be used to repair the game itself. As the number increases, I can gradually restore the original functions] He paused: [If we don’t put in doomsday elements, these temporary worlds will not be destroyed. If you think about it, You can choose to live there. 】
"Last question, is my original world still there?" I looked up at the light curtain that continued to descend.
[They are still there, they are still in the cache,] As if afraid of the approaching ceiling, the system ghost began to speak faster: [I can use the function of reading automatic archives to contact that world, but at least It needs a doomsday element. 】
At this time, the light curtain has almost reached the top of the head.
"Then let the game begin." I tapped the cube in my hand.
[Tip: Please select game mode] A mechanical female voice sounded again,
There were options on the side of the red dice facing me. There seemed to be several more options, but they all looked garbled. Only the [Single Player Mode] options were relatively complete.
I'm a little curious, but now is not the time to think about that.
I looked up at the light curtain that seemed to sense that we were about to escape and gradually accelerated. I raised my hand and pressed [Single Player Mode], and continued to press the only available option [Quick Start].
A familiar mechanical female voice sounded.
[Game Mode: Single Player Mode]
[Doomsday Elements: Source Code]
[Map type: Islands]
[Map Large: Extreme]
Hello! What is that strange element?
Before I had time to ask further, the plane emitting the light of destruction was pressed to the bottom.
