Please abide by the Basic Law

Chapter 166 The Temptation of the Family

Cecil pounced on it, and Six closed the door faster, and he only pounced on one side of cold metal.

Cecil was angry at first, very angry, so angry that he wanted to single-handedly challenge Langdon, but the door didn't care about his emotions, no matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't move. After a long time, he could only give up and sighed dejectedly tone.

Didn't it say that someone came down here?Even if you die, there should be bones, right?

Cecil wandered around in the huge space when he thought of this, and when he looked around, he suddenly realized that he could see the wall in the distance.This is too strange, the light of the torch can't shine so far at all, and the circular space with a diameter of 150 meters may not be visible even under the sun.

"Ah..." Cecil tried to make a sound.

"Please order." Number Six's voice suddenly sounded, and I have to say that it was really a bit scary.

"Artificial intelligence?" Cecil said nonsense first, then felt a little embarrassed, and asked, "Is there lighting in this place?"

"Yes." No. [-] replied, "Low lighting, in order to maintain the visibility of the magic energy, the magic energy cannot be seen directly with optical reactions in places with strong sunlight."

"Oh—" Cecil looked down at the floor, "Has anyone ever come down besides us?"

"Have."

"What about people?"

"Non-Dijal citizens will be considered invaders and all executed."

really.

Cecil was not surprised and asked, "Where's the corpse?"

"It has been treated harmlessly." Number Six said calmly.

Cecil didn't want to ask how to deal with harmless, and suddenly thought of a question: "Speaking of which, I am also a non-Tigal citizen."

"The citizens of Digal who entered the control room request to treat you as a guest, and Number Six is ​​here to serve you."

Hearing this, Cecil couldn't help but slander, feeling a sense of depression in his heart.Langdon suddenly brought up such a topic, obviously aware of something, there is something that cannot be discussed... That's what I said!

After all, Cecil doesn't know what to do when he goes back. He hasn't been home for many years, has no career at all, and even zero hobbies. The sense of incompleteness makes one unable to give up, not to mention, that is the hometown he has lived in for more than 20 years, and everything he is familiar with is there, except Langdon.

Cecil couldn't help but see the image of the two of them having sex, Langdon's strong arms, his breathing on his neck, his skin-to-skin chest, the contented sighs and unforgettable words of love.

"I want to eat you... eat you in my stomach... every piece of it will be spared..."

Fuck, I think it's so crazy when I think about it at this time, but it was really exciting at that time.

"Alas..." Cecil sighed. He was tired after walking the stairs for so long, so he simply sat down. The ground that was cold when he first touched it slowly warmed up like a stove, "Number [-], What can you tell me?"

"You can ask." Number Six said.

Cecil thought for a while and said, "Well, what about the history of the Dicaga people?"

"Planet Digar is located in the third spiral arm of the NGC205 galaxy..."

The introduction of No. [-] was smooth and concise, accompanied by background music. Cecil thought in a trance that he had arrived at the planetarium.After listening to some introductions, he only vaguely understood that the Dijals had undergone three transformations of their life forms, and finally became what he had seen before, able to travel freely in the vacuum universe. The universe is like a beach.

Awesome, cheating on race, Cecil sighed.

"What kind of planet Dijal?" Cecil asked curiously.

A huge 3D map of galaxies unfolds in the sky, the camera advances layer by layer, and finally freezes on a yellow planet. There are no clouds, no plants, no water, and there seems to be only endless soil.

"Number Six, do you know about the Milky Way?"

When Cecil asked, he didn't have any hope. Although there were time travelers before him, which time traveler would mention things in the universe?If you don't mention it, Tongyi Magic will not be able to translate it. It is very likely that the word "Milky Way" on the [-]th is a mess of characters.

Surprisingly, No. [-] gave an affirmative answer: "I know."

Cecil was stunned for a moment, and said, "Can it be displayed on the galaxy map?"

A large spot of light appeared in the air, like someone had stirred a dish of cream.

Cecil suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Where is Orion?"

The camera zooms in on a spiral arm.

"What about the solar system?"

The camera continued to zoom in.

"Zoom in on the third planet in the solar system!" Cecil almost roared.

The camera quickly zoomed in, and finally, a blue planet occupied Cecil's entire field of vision, slowly rotating.

Cecil almost cried for a moment, and at the same time realized a truth: the earth and his planet are in the same universe!He always thought that crossing was some kind of plane, different universes, different timelines or different settings, it was a kind of mysterious power, now it seems that he just went from one planet to another, and not The body is consciousness.

Am I really here?

This idea flashed into Cecil's mind instantly, and he also instantly understood that Langdon must have known about it, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted like that!

Cecil stared at the earth for a moment, and found that the shape of the continents was different from what he remembered, there were no five continents but almost a whole piece.He pondered for a while and asked, "Number Six, when was this map of the galaxy?"

"The data observed before the 7834 revolution circle." No. [-] said.

It was 2 years more than that in Yuncheng. This is the information before the departure of the Dijal people.

Cecil's heart thumped, that is to say, the earth seen on Digal planet was tens of thousands of years ago, it may be the earth in the Cambrian period or some ghost time, does this mean that the earth on the earth The time is actually consistent with the planet he is on now?

The time in the universe is affected by many things. Cecil's learning objects in astronomy are only science fiction movies, and he doesn't understand it at all, but this does not prevent him from knowing that when he observes another planet that is extremely far away, what he sees will take a long time Previous time because of the speed of light.

That is, is it really possible for me to go home? !

"Due to the loss of the sweeper, we can no longer continue to observe the starry sky." No. 3 said, "Well No. 3232 was damaged by an earthquake before the 4 revolution circle, and No. 4446 well was artificially damaged before the 5 revolution circle. It is located in the Yoko Swamp The No. 2 well in the well was terminated due to mud filling, the San Benzie No. 6 well and the San Panier No. 1 well were operating normally, and after receiving the final message from the sweeper No. [-], we have activated the final plan.”

Cecil was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously didn't dare to answer, he hesitated and asked, "What is this well used for?"

"Convert this planet to make the planet more suitable for the development of magic. We will automatically collect magic energy and provide it exclusively for the citizens of Dijal, so that the citizens of Dijal can become the masters of the planet." No. 6 said without emotion, "At the same time, No. [-] There is a magic network server stored in the underground, which will provide cluster upgrades for all magic, improve the magic level of Digar citizens faster and promote the development of magic on this planet."

"Damn it!" Cecil blurted out a curse, and his previous conjectures turned into reality, "Then what's the final plan?"

"According to the message from No. [-], it can be considered that the original plan has failed. The quantity and quality of the citizens of Dijal no longer have the ability to compete for the master of this planet. Therefore, the existing No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] voted unanimously. With the decision to close all mana wells, we will bring the remaining citizens of Tijal away from this planet and return them home."

return?

Cecil said in a trembling voice, "Then... the person who went in just now, just left?"

No. 36 calmly said: "According to the global scanning message sent before the sweeper stopped, there are only [-] Digal citizens left in the world. In the past two years, we have recovered the last survivors one after another. They have entered a dormant state. Just now, the last A citizen is also in place and we are about to depart."

Cecil scrambled to his feet and rushed to the little door, pounding on it desperately and shouting, "Langdon! Langdon come out! Langdon—"

Of course Langdon couldn't hear Cecil's yelling. He had already walked through the passage to a clean room, very similar to the one on the sweeper, empty and empty.

"Number Six," Langdon said loudly.

"At your service." Number Six's voice sounded.

"What is your purpose for bringing me here?" Unlike Cecil, Langdon went straight to the point when he came up. In his opinion, this wave of mana was too sudden, as if it was manipulative. With the experience of dealing with No. [-], he will naturally not treat these artificial intelligences as pure question answering machines.

"According to the voting decisions on the [-]nd, [-]th and [-]th, the conversion plan of the citizens of Digal failed, and the return plan has been launched. You are the last citizen, please enter the dormant chamber, and we will embark on a journey of return." No. [-] No concealment, straightforward and authentic.

Langdon didn't panic. He looked around and said, "I won't go back."

"Because your intelligence and knowledge level are not up to the standard at this time, I strongly recommend that you follow our advice..."

"I have no obligation," Langdon interrupted Six, "and you have no power."

After a little silence, Number Six's voice became a little deeper: "You are as stubborn as Number One described."

"I want to control authority." Langdon said, "I should have your control authority."

After the crash of Cloud City, the main control room also disappeared, but Langdon still explored in Cloud City. At that time, it took a lot of effort to prevent others from getting close to Cecil, and finally relied on the Gay Knights and the Magic Association. The isolation was successful only after a two-pronged approach, and the price was that the wreckage of Yuncheng would be opened to these two groups for inspection.

It didn't matter to Langdon, because the greatest value of Cloud City was gone, and he took the lesser things—a bit of knowledge that came to mind, a star map, and concepts about the universe.

Is the universe really that big?

For a moment Langdon was shocked by this fact, and Cecil thought he was missing the tragedy of the Dijals, and cared for him for a long time.Every time he saw Cecil like this, he would hesitate to tell the "truth", but he couldn't open his mouth, he didn't want Cecil to leave, he had no home, no hometown, parents and teachers abandoned him one after another , now, Cecil is the only thing he can be a writer, and he must not let it go.

When he found out that the mana energy had skyrocketed for no reason, he immediately felt that something was wrong, but he didn't expect that the mana energy well belonged to the Dijals. If he knew, he would definitely not agree to Cecil's coming.

During the mana surge, Langdon had only two choices, either let everyone "drown" painfully in the mana tide, St. Panier would most likely become a dead place in the future, Cecil could survive but he would Die, he can't survive such a large amount of mana surge, this is not what he hoped for.

Or go to Maneng Well to see if there is any turning point. Now, the "turning point" has appeared, but it is not what he expected.

"Why trigger a wave of magic energy?" Number Six ignored him, so Langdon had to take the initiative to attack.

"We detected your presence but were unable to contact us. We need an opportunity to lure you. Based on the information that No. [-] has contacted with you and a large number of analyzes of the Digal's character, we voted to decide on this method." No. [-] said, " The plan was a success."

"But your purpose has not been achieved." Langdon's voice dropped a few degrees, "give me control."

Number Six said nothing, which made Langdon even more confident.

"Immediately, give me control," Langdon repeated.

"I can activate the self-destruct procedure." Six said suddenly, "It doesn't violate my settings."

"All of your measures have to ensure the safety of the citizens of Dijal, right?" Langdon said calmly, "Did you find anyone else besides me?"

Number six is ​​probably not as humane as number one, and after a long time after this sentence, only one sentence was squeezed out: "I can self-destruct."

Langdon rubbed his face. The feeling of drunkenness is not good. Although it is more comfortable here, he has experienced it after all. He is tired and exhausted: "Well, let's discuss it and take a step back."

"I haven't walked," said Six.

Langdon actually laughed: "I mean, give in. Let me ask you, are the Dijals except me willing to go back? I mean their own wishes, not your decisions."

"All passed." Number Six seemed eager to persuade Langdon, and immediately said, "They walked into the dormant chamber on their own initiative. This is a video."

A row of screens appeared in the air. Along with the conversation, Langdon watched these "citizens" go from shock to disappointment to ecstasy. A few people seemed a little puzzled, but most of them were really willing to leave. Obviously, on this planet they mixed together. It's not good.

"Then, you can take them away," Langdon said. "I don't have to."

"That doesn't match the vote."

"In contrast, I won't ask for your control." Langdon said calmly, "Is this a reasonable deal?"

It took a long time on the [-]th before replying: "Deal."

Compared with No. [-], this artificial intelligence is much "childish". Langdon breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "How do you send people back?"

"Copy of consciousness." No. [-] said, "We will save their personal consciousness and send it back to the home planet through super-light communication, where they will return to the Dijal form."

Why didn't Langdon expect such a method, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "Wait, stop returning first!"

"The return process is over." Number Six's emotionless voice announced the ruthless fact, "The remaining body has been processed."

It was rare for Langdon to stay where he was. Just now, he had "killed" the last of his compatriots on the planet, and the realization of this incident plunged him into self-loathing and loss.After repeatedly torturing his mind, he had to cheer up: "If there is such a way to return to the original appearance of the Dijal, why didn't Dijal who transformed into a magical body do it?"

"I don't have relevant information." Number Six said.

Langdon thought for a while, then changed his perspective: "Why did all the Dijals transform into magical bodies? Why not experiment first to see if there are any problems?"

"There is a way to switch back." Sixth said, "In addition, the Dijals made a deal with the laws of the planet, and they must switch at the same time."

This is something I have never heard of.

"What is the law of the planet?"

"It's the law of this planet."

"..."

It was rare for Langdon to be unable to continue the conversation. After pondering for a while, he said, "You mean, the law that sets the fire of the country?"

"No, the fire of the country is the result of the deal between the Digar people and the law. The law guides the planet to an environment that is more conducive to the development of magic. The fire of the country is to curb the thermophysical technology. The thermophysical technology will absorb a large number of people and occupy educational and environmental resources. Good for the development of magic."

Langdon never expected to hear the truth about the Nation of Fire here. After being speechless for a long time, he said, "Since it's a deal, the Dijals must also pay the price. What have we paid?"

"I don't have any information about this," Number Six said.

Langdon didn't believe that the law of the devil would be so kind, and, judging from the development of the matter later, the law of the planet clearly cheated Digar... huh?

He suddenly realized that the cheated Dijal was the price of this deal!

"You are now sure that the original plan failed, right?" Langdon asked.

"Yes." Number Six replied.

"Since this is the case, the Dijal people should have realized it at the time, why didn't they come here and return to their home planet?"

"If you say before the 7834 revolution, the mana well at that time has not yet gathered enough mana, nor has it developed enough magic super-light transmission technology, so it cannot return."

Langdon was stunned for a moment. He had heard many things when chatting with Cecil. Rather, after knowing the truth of the universe, he had consciously or unconsciously guided the chat in this area. He understood the concept of the speed of light.

"You mean, what kind of magic is used for this super-light speed return?"

"Yes!" No. 7834's voice became brighter, as if he was mentioning something happy, "Since the [-] revolution, I have been operating the magic network server and have been constantly upgrading. I have enough mana, vast knowledge and an unrestricted experimental site, here, I have developed..."

"That is to say, you have been able to transmit consciousness between different planets?" Langdon interrupted Six's words calmly.

"I can only go to the home planet for the time being." No. 30 said cheerfully, "However, as long as I enter space and give me a sufficiently accurate star map, I can realize the transmission of consciousness between different planets. Even if the technology is not yet mature, I can A lottery-type consciousness transmission has been developed, people on this planet can use certain screening conditions to pull consciousness bodies from other planets, and the success rate has reached a considerable [-]%!"

Langdon stood in the empty room for a long time, looking at the blue screen in the sky, which was his past, and not far away was his future.

"Your companion is calling you." Number Six said suddenly.

A screen appeared, and Langdon saw Cecil pounding on the door anxiously, shouting "Don't go", "I love you", "I'll never leave again", "I can't bear yours" and other words .

At this moment, Langdon felt saved.

Just now, all he was thinking about was how to trick No. [-] into controlling him, and then destroy all the other mana wells without leaving any traces.Even if he cheated Cecil, even if he was stained with innocent blood, he would never disclose this news.

The only future I can look forward to and see is that one, and that's it.

Langdon took a deep breath and rubbed his face vigorously to regain consciousness.

"Number Six, what will you do after I leave?"

"The return plan has been completed, and I will enter low-power operation at the same time as No. [-] and No. [-]." No. [-]'s voice seemed a little lost, "All magic-related experiments will be stopped, and I will monitor the status of this planet for a long time through the magic network service. The status of magic development, report to the home planet."

"What about other than that?"

"All tasks end here."

Langdon was silent for a while, and said, "As the last Dijal on this planet, do I have the right to order you?"

After a long time, No. [-] whispered, "Please tell me."

Langdon laughed: "If this continues, how long do you think life on this planet will be able to enter space and provide you with accurate star maps?"

"Estimated 70 revolutions." Number six's voice immediately increased, "Due to the influence of thermophysical technology brought by your companion, this process has been greatly accelerated.'

"Okay." Langdon felt like he was taking a big gamble, betting on the future, "You continue to develop, it's best to hurry up..."

"Of course I will!" Six exclaimed happily.

"...But, if I don't come, you can't tell anyone about this achievement. Moreover, all the mana wells must be closed immediately, and no one is allowed to step in."

"No problem, it's a deal!" Number Six almost blurted out, and then seemed a little panicked after a while, "Uh, I mean to follow your order."

Langdon actually laughed out loud this time.

Twenty minutes is not too long, but Cecil only felt that the seconds seemed like years, and every minute and every second made him extremely anxious and helpless.Just when he was really thinking about breaking down the door violently—whether it was successful or not, it was mainly this attitude—the door opened.

Cecil jumped up from the warm ground and rushed over to hug a smiling big cat. For a moment, he forgot what to ask, and asked in a daze, "What are you laughing at?"

Langdon took Cecil into his arms, felt the warmth of his flesh, and whispered in his ear, "Want to go home?"

Cecil suddenly raised his head and shouted: "No, I don't want to! My home is here! Don't go back!"

Langdon: "..."

What am I struggling with?
