Chapter 704 surprise visit
Although I sympathize with them, I guess it is impossible for me to take them away. Even if I can stuff tens of thousands of people into the space, what if I go out?
Should I put it casually, or should I take it to build a market?
If two Teds exist at the same time, will there be unpredictable changes?
The more worries I have, the more confused my heart is, especially with so many lives involved. I have no idea what to do if I save it. If I don’t save it, I will see them all destroyed.
There was once a line from the movie that I kept in mind, but I couldn't remember the name of the movie anymore, but the line in it, "It's not difficult to kill people, but it's hard to save people" impressed me.
If these tens of thousands of living people were alien monsters, shapeshift monsters or other creatures, I wouldn't be so entangled.
The problem lies in the fact that they are human beings, at least from a biological point of view, they are real human beings, and they also have human memories and emotions.
If I give up on them and escape alone without even trying, I will feel uneasy for the rest of my life.
Conscience...Why do people have conscience?
When I was upset, I advised myself several times to be selfish. This is an era where the strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected. I can survive because I have the ability to live, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. I can't take care of everyone, after all, I am a mortal.
But whenever I was almost convinced, my conscience would pop up and warn me. I had not tried my best yet and could not watch coldly.
When I was extremely upset, I simply cleared my mind and left my brain blank, which was considered a kind of self-protection.
I concentrated on cultivating my mental strength and used it to infuse the plants in my brain. The plant that had already produced a fruit before, and with my efforts, it produced a second fruit.
On the day the third fruit was born, Ted from this world visited me again. The illusion of doomsday created by Aunt Tao was discovered the day after the carnival night. Ted, who was responsible for the important position of the city lord, sent someone to investigate the weather station.
He felt it was necessary to tell me the truth, so he came to my house and told me that Aunt Tao had forged meteorological data, which made the meteorological officer think that he had seen a natural disaster alarm. After reporting the message to Wolf Poison, the staff at the meteorological station committed suicide in despair.
The sentiment of despair is contagious, so the girl sent by Ted will see the scene of collective suicide.
Fortunately, the people in the city were immersed in the joy of Ted's return that night, and the news did not leak, preventing more people from going to a dead end.
People don’t know that their city lord organized this carnival with the mood of demise. The storm caused by Aunt Tao quietly calmed down in the dark.
Ted also said that it is very likely that the two of them had disagreements when Aunt Tao killed Wolf Poison, and he investigated it for me. There were no other game players in the city at this moment.
However, the people he sent out found several highly decayed corpses in the sewer, all with game terminals on them.
There are also two corpses of a man and a woman in a sack, and they don’t have a game terminal.
The few people who brought the terminal must be players who were killed by Aunt Tao. The two corpses that were installed together are probably the Aunt Tao and Wolf Poison in this world.
Ted became the lord of Space Castle again and took over the mess left by Wolf Poison. Since the doomsday is going to come later, he has to work as usual.
After we talked last time, he realized that he and the survivors in the city were just props made by the Games Association.
I think he must have had a hard time these days. He had always believed in everything he had suddenly to overturn it all, and anyone else would feel depressed.
But today he came to the door alone without an assistant or bodyguard. There must be something important to say. I actually appreciate him a lot and will not affect his work by indulging in his negative emotions.
I am the only one living in Wolf Poison's mansion, so it is more convenient for us to talk alone, so Ted, no, now I should call him Old Ted, so that they can be distinguished.
In any case, they are two independent individuals and should be distinguished.
Ted in this world is obviously much more vicissitudes. Although he is not old, he looks so mature, so I decided to call him Ted.
After talking about what he found out about it, Old Ted changed the subject and said that he actually wanted to ask me for help.
He said that the data forged by Aunt Tao was not all fabricated out of thin air. The weatherman at that time believed it because the data was credible.
Old Ted said that those devastating disasters will actually come sooner or later, just a little later than the dates made by Aunt Tao.
Similarly, the survivors in the castle still have nowhere to escape, so he hopes I can help them.
I almost said about the space pendant, but Ted was one step ahead of me, and he rushed to say, "It may not be difficult for you to be busy. The space castle can do space jumps, and we can jump from this time and space to other time and space or planets."
I know that the Space Castle can enter other spaces, but Ted's meaning seems to refer to 'travel'.
"You didn't say this way earlier? But have you ever thought about which planet is the same as the Earth, suitable for human habitation. If there is no goal, isn't it just a blind jump? When is it time to jump? Is there enough energy?"
Old Ted faced my series of questions and smiled bitterly: "I have never used this function before. It's just a dark look. I have no idea how far it can jump and how long it will take."
He sighed and said, "I tried it myself, but I can't start it, so I came to ask you for help. Only by starting it first can you know how to operate it. We can move in this space first and test its jump distance and degree."
As soon as Old Ted said this, countless questions arose in my heart, so I was silent for a few seconds, and then I cleared my mind about it: "You haven't started it, have you read the manual? Otherwise, how do you know how it works? Driving requires training, let alone a castle, which is much larger than a car or a ship."
Old Ted immediately said: "You are an outsider, the person the chairman of the Game Association wants to win over. I think you must have advantages that others do not have. Anyway, you should be a living horse, so it's better to give it a try."
This answer is too natural, and there is no necessary connection between me. No matter how unique I am, what does it have to do with driving the space castle?
The blood-sucking ability has nothing to do with driving. Assuming that he is right, the only thing that is related to driving the space castle is my mental power.
But Old Ted didn't know that I had mental abilities, nor did he know that I had ordinary resilience, why did he say so sure?
