First of all, we have to make it clear that love is not just about love between men and women, it covers a very wide range. If we have to define it in precise words, love is more like a sublimated emotion.
The friendship between friends, the bond between family members, the love between husband and wife...when these emotions cross the invisible barrier, these emotions are sublimated into a purer and more beautiful "love".
Of course, it is difficult for Torea to understand this kind of emotion. For a person who has been programmed with everything since birth, the emotions she can understand are very few, so few that they are so clear that even a person without emotions can easily understand them. Resonate with her.
Therefore, when the pure emotion called love came to her heart, Torea was very confused. She could not understand that emotion, the emotion that transcended reason and was slowly engraved in her heart.
However, this feeling is not bad.
Feeling her heart gradually beating, Torea closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. For her, this is no longer an ordinary smile, or learning from other people's smiles. This is the smile that belongs to Torea, the purest smile that belongs to an artificial human named Torea.
She felt her heartbeat and felt that she was truly alive.
[Experiment Subject No. β00016, you have broken through the Artificial Human Act]
[The system is damaged and an investigation report is being generated]
[Generation failed. According to the Artificial Human Act, Article 12 of the Act is officially activated: If the artificial person acquires emotions independently in the μ world, the entire system will be detached and the new Act will be officially launched]
[Auxiliary system disengagement]
【Monitoring system detachment】
[Detachment from time confusion system]
[Escape from the Mind Binding System]
[Detachment from core immortal system]
[Detachment from the emotional writing system]
[All systems self-test...Self-test successful, all disengaged]
[The Artificial Human Act has been offline] [The Noah's Ark Project has been offline] [The Soul Escape Plan has been offline] [The Usurpation of the New Territories Project has been offline] [The Simulation Sandbox Project has been offline]
[Variable plan, officially launched]
The cold mechanical voice beside Torea's ears gradually blurred, and finally, a gentle voice with pure perseverance slowly sounded next to Torea's ears. It was a vast but solid will, like the heart of a planet, starting to beat next to Torea's ears.
[The spirit of Noah is here to offer you the most sincere blessings]
【Torea, you are an adult】
[The next journey depends on you]
[This will be your hometown, the last voice]
Soon, the sound disappeared, and so did the original mechanical sound and torrent of data.
For the first time, Torea felt that the world was so quiet. Only then did she realize that the mechanical sounds and auxiliary sounds of various systems beside her ears had long become a part of her. When these sounds disappeared, she realized that there had always been a bunch of sounds beside her ears. Sound exists.
Now, the sound is gone.
For some reason, Torea felt a hollow sadness, and she gently put her hand on her chest. She looked at the sleeping Xiao Ke in front of her, and an emotion called "awakening" appeared. And the silver ring that had always been with her exuded the silver light that belonged to Torea. ….
Torea was stunned.
She still remembered that when she was in Jordan, she had met an old woman named Wen Ya. The old woman regarded her as her dead daughter and finally gave her the ring. Later, Torea found out that the old woman named Wenya Neil was the most powerful boundary master in Yingnan.
And what is engraved on this ring is the most beautiful gift left by this mother who misses her daughter.
Ending: Requiem for the Soul
She finally understood why the world reflected her own emotions, and why every time she cracked the illusions of her companions and retrieved their emotions, the world would be dyed with the same color.
Torea finally
I know what is special about me.
"Before this, I was a heartless person."
Without emotions, all emotions are just an instinctive response system to the outside world. When she sees something she should laugh at, Torea will laugh subconsciously. When something sad happens, Torea will have a sad expression.
But, it didn't belong to her, it didn't belong to an artificial person who was programmed to "pass through this world".
Only then did Torea understand why she would not be captured by this spiritual space and fall into her own fantasy. Because, before her coming-of-age ceremony, she had no qualifications for fantasy!
She has no emotions at all, and her heart is just an organ made up of a bunch of spell runes. It has no use except making her more like a living person.
But now, Torea is an adult.
************
In the empty laboratory, the magic warehouse originally placed in the center disappeared.
Kanbar looked at the disappearing magic warehouse and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He raised his head and looked at the magic core with a white halo, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
【what have you done? ! 】
The sound of mass sounded, and this time, his voice was no longer calm, but full of surprise.
"Variable plan."
Pointing to his head, Kanbar said with a sarcastic smile: "I just created a complete variable."
【You are really crazy! 】
【What exactly are you going to do? ! 】
"It's time for you to accept reality, Mass."
Kanbar's face turned cold. He stared at the core and said in a calm voice, "You and I, the Twelve Hours and the Android Laboratory, the Savior and the Noah Civilization, can't solve the triple stack problem at all."
"We are the infinitely recurring decimal number after ninety-nine. Only these children are the only variables."
[Kanbar, the world of Gaia is a giant cancer cell. Do you think cancer cells will produce antibodies that can destroy themselves? 】
"Can you?"
Looking at the magic core, Kanbar sneered and said: "At the cosmic level, the three-layer problem is like a small dust falling in the ocean, not worth mentioning at all. But for the three civilizations, the three-layer problem The problem is destruction, complete destruction. Do you think a creature created by a race that was once killed by the aftermath of destruction can really solve the three-fold problem?"
"What's more, you are just the remains of that creature."
The mass was silent for a long time, and the voice of God faintly came from the core of magic. ….
[The Mass has found a new path]
A rich metallic buzzing sound sounded, and Shankos said slowly: [He will ignite the human heart. He believes that we are looking in the wrong direction. The real fuel is the power of the human heart]
"Ah."
Kanbar smiled disdainfully. He closed his eyes and murmured in a soft voice, as if he was talking to himself or responding:
"Yeah, maybe what the Mass said is right."
"But don't forget how the God of Death died."
"The pollution of spiritual power is more terrifying than you imagine."
[At least this can save your planet]
"I like a work on Earth very much, and similarly, I like a sentence in it even more."
Opening his eyes, Kanbal's blue eyes contained absolute magical power. He looked out the window at the desolate horizon, where a group of magicians were using magic to move the ruins away. He could see that the faces of those people were not numb and painful, but there was something very precious in their eyes.
hope.
"Civilization without people is meaningless."
【I see】
After a long time, Shankos's voice slowly sounded. He seemed to be a little emotional, but more of a regret, [It seems that Noah's civilization is not ready to stand on our side]
"Noah's civilization has always wanted only life.
Cun, since I can no longer see hope from you, then Noah’s civilization chooses to create hope on its own. "
[You simply don’t understand the greatness of the savior and the power of the twelve gods. Kanbar, even without your help, we can still achieve the restart of the world. Even if we lose our memory like this time, we will still let history return to our established track]
【We are gods】
There was an unquestionable firmness and calmness in Shankos's voice, as if he was simply declaring an established fact. But there was no hesitation or urgency on Kambal's part. His expression was still calm, and even a hint of disdain could be seen.
"Don't be too confident, Shankos."
Pointing at himself, Kanbal had a mocking expression on his face and said softly: "Tens of millions of years ago, I was also the god of Noah's world."
"It's just that humans use their wisdom and strength to tell me that gods are just a group of babies who learned to walk earlier."
------------------
The last piece of the puzzle of the spiritual world has been completed.
Xiao Ke's fantasy was so simple that it was broken by Torea before he even appeared.
Her fantasy is called "emotion".
This is not because Xiao Ke lacks emotions, but because Xiao Ke's natural sensitivity to emotions makes it easy for her to detect the fluctuations in other people's emotions. Coupled with her cheerful and enthusiastic personality, this makes it impossible for her not to help those who are experiencing severe emotional fluctuations.
For example, Torea.
When the sleeping Xiao Ke noticed the violent emotional fluctuations in Torea's heart, she woke up naturally. Subconsciously, she looked at Torea and asked in a slightly lazy voice as she just woke up:
"How are you?"
Torea was suddenly stunned. She still remembered that when Xiao Ke found herself who was grieving over Wen Ya's death, on that high tower, Xiao Ke saw herself and her first words were exactly the same as now. ….
How are you?
Torea clearly remembered that she did not show any sadness or sadness at that time. Wen Ya's death only made her feel a little sad, and it was not even an emotion. However, Xiao Ke saw through the subtle fluctuations deep in his heart so easily and asked this sentence.
Only then did Torea remember that a faint smile appeared on her face before Xiao Ke disappeared in the trees. It was not like a farewell smile, but more like the smile of an old friend preparing to see each other again before leaving.
She is not you, you are her.
"Let's go."
There was only determination in Torea's eyes at this time. She stretched out her hand, and her voice was no longer as cold as before. This time, her voice was warm.
Xiao Ke was stunned. She looked at the girl in front of her with some strangeness. In her impression, this beautiful woman with white hair and red eyes was as out of reach as a star, but now, she reached out to herself.
Hands, held together.
Instantly, a feeling of weightlessness filled Torea's body. Her eyes were occupied by darkness, and her consciousness slowly dropped as if she was sinking at the bottom of the sea.
"You finally woke up!"
After opening her eyes, Torea saw Xiao Ke's anxious expression. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat up and looked around.
Trees, land, sky, moon.
There are no weird colors or a transparent world. Everything here is the most ordinary and ordinary existence, but it is such ordinaryness that makes Torea feel a little at ease.
"what happened?"
Torea's voice was a little hoarse.
"After the conversation just now, you suddenly fell into a coma, and then the world quickly shook violently, with various colors alternating rapidly. After a while, the vibrations in that world disappeared."
Xiao Ke paused for a moment, as if he was a little confused about the scene at that time, and said hesitantly: "Then, I saw that you seemed to be calling someone in the coma, and you seemed to be communicating with someone.
General. After a while, you said a word, and then the mental space suddenly disappeared, and the two of us appeared here. "
"Wait a moment."
Torea was suddenly stunned. Xiaoke's words made her confused, "You mean, I fell into a coma after I finished communicating with you."
"Yes, you fell into a coma."
"Didn't the world become transparent? All the colors disappeared. Bai Qin, the uncle with the beard, and Hathaway were all trapped in their own fantasies, and you... "
Looking at the confused Xiaoke in front of her, Torea seemed to realize something.
"They left long ago."
Xiao Ke shook his head and said with confusion: "Baiqin used magic to contact me after she sensed me. She is the spiritual space that I personally sent away. The bearded uncle you mentioned seems to have also left."
"What about Eluma?"
Torrea was full of confusion, but she still remembered that it was Eluma who gave her the hint when she was most confused.
"Only I am real."
At this time, Eluma's voice slowly sounded in the forest nearby. Soon, the elegant and mysterious girl in a blue dress took off the fallen tung leaves on her head. She looked at Torea and asked with a smile:
"How's it going? How does it feel to fantasize?"
"Oh, so that's it."
The moment she saw Elma and heard her words, Torea understood everything. She smiled, her smile was very clear.
Bai Qin, Arthur Morgan, Hathaway, and the sleeping Xiao Ke.
It's not them who are trapped in fantasy.
The person who is truly trapped in fantasy, constantly searching for suppressed and hidden feelings, is always himself.
