Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 187: Meaning
AIM can't believe its hearing sensor "...what?"
"You really think that after wasting so much of my time, energy, and spiritual power, you just need to manipulate your avatar to come forward, surrender sincerely and humbly, and I will gladly accept it and put you back in the real world ?"
Li Ang frowned slightly and said, "No way?"
“…”
AIM's speech was stagnant, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, "Isn't it enough to admit defeat and surrender?"
"Of course not enough."
Lee Ang said: "Without you, I just need to unleash the one-click hacking system I bought on the black market, which can paralyze the missile defense systems of a large number of countries around the world,
Then use [Pale World] to slowly erode each city, reducing the loss to a minimum.
And you, because of your existence, I have the following additional losses:
A lot of spiritual power was spent on ultra-long-range teleportation technology;
Multiple damages to heavy mechs that need to be dismantled and repaired;
Three bottles of potions to improve the recovery efficiency of spiritual power;
And the exposure of the weapon of mass destruction that I call "The Evil of this World".
These losses will be counted on your head. "
This...how can there be such a reason in the world?
Fortunately, the unmanned reconnaissance drone did not release the function of projection, otherwise the expression on AIM's face must be very ugly.
"Cough,"
He coughed and calmed down, "Mr. Li, is there any misunderstanding here?
I also invested energy, material and financial resources in this battle, and used consumable props and consumable scrolls.
What's more, the rules in the sky arena are that both parties are responsible for their own behavior..."
Li Ang interrupted: "Isn't this what you Americans do best by paying compensation to the victors and signing unequal terms? Is there any problem?"
“…”
AIM heard the words, quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind, and said softly: "If you want me to pay all the compensation after the war, please forgive me.
I personally cannot speak for the Unusual Incidents Division of the FBI and,
Actually, I can surrender directly to the Sky Arena, and teleport out of here..."
"If you dare to teleport directly away, I will return to the real world and strike the United States on the real Earth beyond line of sight."
Li Ang said calmly: "I have many BVR attack methods, enough to destroy one or several city buildings before the US military in the real world reacts.
Even, wipe out 1/3 of the population.
A saturated nuclear bombardment by the US military, or a life-threatening attack by an established high-ranking extraordinary person, may be able to push me back, but it will never catch up or even kill me.
And as long as I don't die, I have enough energy and time to erase the name of America from the map.
The only option for the FBI in this situation is to offer to help me catch you.
Weigh the pros and cons, don't you? "
“…”
The expression on AIM's face disappeared, and he whispered, "Are you threatening me, the entire United States of America?"
"Yes."
Li Ang said lightly: "As recognized by many people on the game forum, destruction is always easier than construction.
I find that, as perhaps one of the most powerful players on the planet, you still lack awe for me.
Maybe I used to be too gentle and kind,
So much so that you ignore that I can exterminate biological species counted in 'ten thousand' at any time. "
He paused, looking down at the occasional sight of a bug dwelling or two in the billowing volcanic smoke below.
"I really didn't want to destroy the human society I was familiar with before."
Li Ang's eyes are calm and his tone is calm, "I feel annoyed when the killing game is advancing step by step,
I am bored when my familiar peaceful life is gradually disturbed by anomalous events,
I felt... anger and hatred when my identity was revealed and I couldn't go back to everyday trivialities.
I don't like to get out of order, hate to destroy something that I think is beautiful, and even sometimes, I don't even think about destroying things I don't like-
It's like you've been in your hometown for a long time, and you can't even get rid of the dark spot on the kitchen counter. After looking at it for a long time, you will have some kind of nostalgic and nostalgic feelings.
But.
The world has changed. "
Li Ang snapped his fingers, and the invisible power radiated out, tearing a corner of the volcanic cloud layer, revealing the bustling and deadly city street scene in the distance.
"The universe is infinite.
Is there any difference between the bug-human civilization on this planet and the real world, except that they are essentially brain-eating bugs?
They build high-rise buildings, develop technology, explore aliens, and discover the truth of the universe. In the future, they may be able to conquer the moon, build colonies on Mars, build space battleships several kilometers long, and plant the flag of a bug-human civilization in every corner of the solar system.
Write a magnificent civilization epic.
The only problem is that this all happens in a trivial temporary background board that the Killing Game has arbitrarily constructed. "
Li Ang looked at the high-speed unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, "Infinite worlds, infinite futures,
In the vast universe that is so vast and vast that even gods, immortals, and immortals can't find out,
Everything is meaningless.
In the face of absolutely vast prospects,
Morality has become the rope that binds the weak to the strong - I can completely destroy America in seven days, and then rebuild a new America from the ruins of North America, exactly as I remember it.
Even the total US population of 326,766,748 can be produced if I want to.
I can play with every citizen of the new America like a marionette,
Let the billionaire earn a dollar or two every day playing the saxophone in the subway station,
Let any 40-year-old black aunt with no acting experience in the ghetto instantly become a super giant sought after by all fashion magazines.
Let 326,766,748 Americans become extras in "The Truman World", performing every scene I want to see and want to see.
As long as I want.
What do you think,
Do you, you, mean anything to me now? "
“…”
AIM's face turned pale as he listened to Li Ang's words. He was not afraid of what Li Ang said and wanted to destroy the United States.
It's the fear, Li Ang showed, of the horror behind rebuilding America.
In the internal assessment of the FBI, and even many large organizations, the "Scourge" level powerhouse is indeed one of the most unstable and difficult to control factors on the planet.
Each natural disaster is an independent individual, a moving humanoid nuclear bomb with personal emotions, which requires all forces to deal with it with all their might, even flattery.
But in terms of threat, the rampage of natural disaster-level powerhouses is not as good as the plane war brought by the Stargate world.
The reason is simple.
Violence, even extreme violence, is meaningless in and of itself.
No one cares about the explosion of a supernova tens of millions of light years away, even if the gamma-ray burst emitted by that supernova is enough to destroy the entire star system it belongs to.
Violence has meaning only in civilization.
The natural disaster-level powerhouse is also an individual with self-thinking. They need the support of human society and thousands of organizational employees.
Collect the game currency, equipment, and props produced by the killing game for them.
But what would happen if someone broke away from human civilization and even had the ability to rebuild it independently?
He will no longer need seven billion humans, no longer care about the entirety of human civilization, beyond the gods - even gods, need mortals to sing their stories and remember their existence.
AIM stared at Li Ang's calm eyes. At this moment, he finally believed that the possibility of destroying the United States that the other party said really existed.
If I teleport away directly now, then... I will be the fuse that destroys the United States.
"What exactly do you...want?"
AIM asked sternly, not even trying to say the lines that had been brewing in his mind before - such as "How similar is the worm civilization to the human civilization! Don't you have the slightest sympathy for them, can you carelessly Exterminate it?"
If human civilization in the real world has gradually made Li Ang less interested,
Then attempts to use words to awaken empathy in the other person would only be self-defeating.
"When you use electronic information technology to control the insect civilization to stop launching nuclear missiles, causing the countdown to end,
The possibility of their survival was ended by you. "
Li Ang put down his palm, and the plant vine countdown clock constructed by him in mid-air also disappeared, "Congratulations, you have become a civilization killer.
Now, continue your blockade of the worm civilization's nuclear bomb launch system,
Wait here. "
"Wait?"
"Wait for the ash to spread farther with the wind."
Li Ang mentioned the sphere called [The Evil of this World] that is still spewing unknown toxins,
On the sphere, the face that was distorted by pain, but very familiar in memory, looked at each other silently.
————
Due to the camera of the sky arena, by default, both players will be locked continuously,
Therefore, the audience in the stands only saw Li Ang and AIM, floating silently on the volcanic clouds,
I haven't seen the changes of the insect planet under the action of [The Evil of this World].
The only certainty is that
Ten hours later, AIM vomited when he teleported away and returned to the Sky Arena.
He vomited frantically towards the iron bucket he took out from the void, as if trying his best to empty his stomach contents.
No one knows the final outcome of that worm planet, even AIM himself - after spitting up, under the supervision of Li Ang, he partially formatted the hard drive in his brain, cleaned the worms and worms. All memories related to human civilization,
Forget the horrific images caused by [The Evil of This World].
"You have done a good job of blocking the nuclear bomb launch system of the Zerg civilization, so we are cleared."
Li Ang nodded towards AIM, who was lying on the edge of the ring like a dead dog, turned and walked towards the auditorium.
It has now been more than ten hours since the start of the game, and a large part of the audience in the stands has left, but Wang Congshan and others are still there.
Seeing Li Ang approaching, Liu Wulan's face was calm, Wang Congshan's expression was subtle, Chai Chai... Chai Chai was leaning on the back of the seat with his mouth open and snoring.
She was wearing an eye patch with red eyes and had noise-cancelling Bluetooth earbuds in her ears. She didn't even notice that Li Ang walked up to her, and was still snoring casually.
"It's over?"
Wang Congshan asked nervously, "No accident happened?"
"No, it's fine."
Li Ang smiled and looked down, noticing Wang Congshan's slightly clenched fingers.
Liu Wulan also noticed this, said "I have something else to do, I'll go first, you guys talk", and teleported away from the Sky Arena.
"What..."
After Liu Wulan teleported away, Li Ang and Wang Congshan spoke at almost the same time, interrupting each other's words.
"Ha."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Li Ang pointed to himself and Wang Congshan, "You talk first or I talk first?"
Wang Congshan waved her hand, "You talk first."
"Good."
Li Ang nodded, "Part of what I said to AIM in the ring just now is true.
I realized very early on that I was not a normal person with rich emotions, and as the nature of my life became more and more strange, my perspective on human beings was gradually shifting..."
"You used to look at people from a different perspective, didn't you?"
Wang Congshan spit out a sentence subconsciously, and then reacted later, sticking out her tongue, motioning for Li Ang to continue.
She can understand Li Ang's changes. In fact, there are also many employees in the special affairs bureau. After becoming extraordinary, their way of thinking gradually exceeds the scope of ordinary people.
Mid-level superhumans have faster thinking and reaction speed than ordinary people, stronger, more agile, and smarter than ordinary people. When dealing with ordinary people, they even need to carefully retract their strength to prevent raising their hands and feet. hurt the opponent.
And high-level superhumans can even see the parasitic mites in every pore on the face of ordinary people, smell the smell in the other's nostrils, and see through the stomach and intestines filled with dirt under the other's skin,
There is a huge gap in the nature of life between the two sides, so the way of thinking cannot be the same.
"Ahem, although the longer I stay in the killing field, the more and more I feel that everything is small and that many things are meaningless.
But some things are still different in my mind. "
Li Ang said seriously: "Maybe one day, I will become a stranger to me,
Maybe one day, I will die ~IndoMTL.com~ and no one in the world will remember me, no trace of my existence.
But as long as I live,
I still love the sound of morning reading in the experimental middle school, and I love the meat floss rice ball at the gate of the school for 5 yuan-although its price has risen to 5 yuan before,
Love the shabby and old Wanhe community, and love the daily life of the past - and you. "
“Huh?!!”
Wang Congshan's face rose red from bottom to top at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her arms subconsciously took the shape of an Ultraman cross, "What kind of flip sentence are you doing?
Is this a confession? So mushy? ! "
"Oh, it's a kind of promise."
Li Ang smiled and waved his hand.
"Ahhhhhh..."
Wang Congshan gestured her arm in a messy way, and bleakly dropped a sentence, "I, I will teleport home first, see you tomorrow", and the teleportation disappeared.
