The rainstorm gradually subsided, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and the rare fresh air was surging between the heaven and earth where all the dust had been swept away due to the rainstorm. At this time, it was dusk. We could see the faint yellow sunlight at the end of the horizon and the stars looming in the dark blue sky.

It has been a long time since the people of Siberia saw such a pure sky.

On the muddy ground, Joshua grasped the core puppet that had been cut into a stick. The puppet's huge hand was a little loose, so as not to crush the precious material.

A soul puppet with self-consciousness, in other words, can be called "intelligent life" - Joshua had imagined this possibility at the beginning. After all, the source of the soul core is the soul of ordinary people, and the soul puppet has the potential to become intelligent life.

But Joshua didn't expect that there would be one in the hunter's army. According to his estimation, this kind of existence should be the upper level of the soul puppet, who is responsible for giving orders and judging the situation. How could he fight in person?

But this kind of thing has nothing to do with Joshua. He doesn't care about the social structure of the soul puppet. He just needs to search the other party's information. In this case, having a soul is not a bad thing, or even better, because he doesn't have to bother to decode it.

The silver light in his hand flickered again, and Joshua used the force of steel to connect the soul of the core puppet, and began to build an information link bridge, ready to search for the information in the other's heart.

At this time, the soldier had a deeper understanding of his own power. Through the "information link" ability of steel power, he became more and more skilled in soul searching and memory searching. Moreover, as he gradually understood the relationship between steel particles and super power, Joshua had roughly understood how the so-called "power" was used by ordinary people.

If the source of the particles of steel, as Joshua imagined, is the remains of the boa constrictor after the world was broken, then these fragments of the world will undoubtedly be attracted by other worlds. The particles and the magic tide sweep through countless worlds together, and then they are intercepted and absorbed by the souls of the creatures in them, making an ordinary person a superpower.

But what if this world is a low demon world and no one has a soul? In fact, this is not a big problem, because the soul is just the best interceptor, but it is not the only one. In addition to the soul, the body of intelligent life itself, as the life derived from the force of steel, can naturally absorb the particles of steel, but the probability is relatively low.

However, the result of using the body to absorb the particles of steel will create the Siberian world. When the particles of steel reside in a certain body organ, the super power will naturally disappear. However, because of the existence of the particles of steel, the super power who originally had no soul will also quickly give birth to a soul to control this power, The particles will also slowly move to the soul and eventually merge into one.

Once the soul is born, then everything can enter a virtuous circle. With the birth and death of the soul, the energy concentration of the world will increase rapidly, and the increase of the energy concentration can in turn speed up the birth of the soul. More souls can intercept more particles of steel, making the world absorb other powers to destroy the world more quickly and become stronger and stronger, It's getting bigger.

This is a perfect virtuous circle. Ordinary people will get extraordinary power. In the end, the whole race will naturally hold the soul, and the world will have more and more power and energy concentration... Although everything is based on the destruction of other worlds, it is true, Joshua even guessed, This is the origin of some of the world's extraordinary powers.

And the essence of power is actually the concretization of some extraordinary ability. Ordinary people without magic and fighting spirit can only use their own vitality and physical strength to urge it. When they have a soul, they can use mental force to urge it... As for people with extraordinary ability, when they get super ability, they only need to use magic and fighting spirit, Because the essence of magic and fighting spirit is actually the aggregation of many powers, but the former is extremely primitive, and the latter has become an order system that can be exercised and continuously advanced.

Joshua's power of steel is advanced by the cohesion of vitality and fighting spirit. His power itself is the largest super power, and the most powerful power aggregate in the plural number. If the strongest super power obtained by ordinary people is e to s, then he is at least SSS, or even beyond the theory.

When the "information link bridge" was completed, Joshua ignored the struggle of the core puppet in his hand. He broke each other's spiritual barrier and entered its soul.

Soon, he finished browsing the core puppet's life.

"Not long after... Was just made?"

The giant puppet let out a buzzing sound. Joshua swept the memory of each other for only thirty-one days. He could not help but feel clear in his heart: "no wonder the performance is similar to that of the ordinary soul puppet. He has not had time to produce his unique" personality "and" self. "

This core puppet was born in a large industrial area in the center of the world. It was made at the same time with other hunter armies, and it was born with the mission of commanding the whole army. Its soul core is specially made, which has dozens of times the capacity of other soul puppets, so it can be responsible for the command of the whole army. In addition, its spiritual power is about 100 times that of ordinary puppets. Even if dozens of super powers are added together, they will be crushed by it in the aspect of pure spirit attack.Up to now, the puppet is still fighting against Joshua's invasion... But how can ordinary people's spiritual power influence the soldiers? This kind of struggle is as weak as a mosquito ant. Joshua patiently smoothes each other's struggle, and then continues to analyze the soul.

He is looking for the source of the puppet's self-consciousness, and the spirit sweeps every detail in the other party's information database.

So, soon after, Joshua heard a mechanical voice.

"Load the controller permission. Load the believer packet. "

Accompanied by the noisy sound of metal collision and production in a large industrial base, a soul puppet's calm and non undulating voice rang out: "Congratulations, alpha-7739, you will become the core of the second hunter's army and gain the primary management authority."

"Praise the creator, the promoter of time, and our master."

And the master of memory, the core puppet just made at that time, alpha-7739, repeats the pious prayer in the same flat and emotionless tone.

"Praise the creator, the promoter of time, and our master."

This is the origin of self-consciousness.

"... faith?"

Joshua broke the spiritual connection with the core puppet. The huge head of the puppet did not change its expression, but the black haired boy who came out of the cockpit on the back of the puppet looked puzzled. The two bodies controlled by Joshua looked at the broken and no longer rebellious core puppet body, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"Do soul puppets still have faith?"

Because of this unexpected message, Joshua did not hesitate to deepen the link with each other's soul - he wanted to see where and what was directly connected with this core puppet!

In the distance, the center of xiboya world, the information processing center labeled 0-003.

In the huge trapezoidal steel building, there is not even half a soul puppet walking, because the entire 55 meter high giant steel structure is a huge puppet consciousness aggregate composed of more than 7000 soul cores.

0-003 Information Center No.1 is responsible for the dispatch, mobilization, personnel integration and engineering planning of all puppet parks in the southwest of the world. It is directly under the supreme center and the third level of the whole soul puppet sequence. It has the authority to directly mobilize 15 large industrial bases and more than 50 agricultural and mining Parks without reporting, More than 300 worm shaped micro machines are responsible for its daily maintenance and dust cleaning.

The information center is almost indestructible. Under the condition of energy, even without maintenance, with its solid infrastructure, No. 0-003 information center can continue to operate for more than 700 years until the necessary parts are aging and damaged. However, now, there is a strange low roar from the core of the information center, which should never have broken down. With this roar, a weak vibration begins to shake the whole structure of the information center, and then it becomes more and more intense.

Click, click, bang! Inside the center, some precision instruments were damaged due to violent vibration, bursting out of parts, and all the micro machines carrying out maintenance work inside were stopped. Their body surface was flashing blue light, as if the energy system inside was out of control.

On the outside of the information center, countless busy soul puppets stop, because the fluctuation of command suddenly disappears... But in a moment, the crazy alarm sounds in their receiver!

"High risk information pollution! High risk soul pollution! There are foreign souls invading the information center! The pollution level is rising rapidly and is about to break through the firewall. It is suggested that the No. 0-003 information center carry out self destruction, and the No. 0-003 information center carry out self destruction - Countdown to self destruction, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 -- "

At the instant of the rapid alarm, the observation devices of all the soul puppets around suddenly went dark, Then they start up again under some force... But even if they start up again, they still can't see the external environment, they can only see a piece of black. In this dark screen, a pair of twinkling silver eyes are gradually emerging from the nothingness, as if to replace the eyes of these puppets.

But just as the two silver pupils were about to be fully visible, the Information Center No. 0-003 also completed its self destruction. With a low hum, the reaction furnace directly below the information center was completely overloaded, and a bright electric spark flashed across the inside and outside of the whole building, burning down all the equipment along the way. At the core of the information center, energy lightning flashed everywhere, One by one, the energy flows are disorderly twisted and twitched in the atmosphere. In the core processor, all the 7000 soul cores are self collapsing and destroyed in the surging energy flow, and the internal temperature of the building instantly exceeds 300 degrees, becoming like a melting pot.

All storage devices and servers have been physically destroyed. Fragile precision devices have been subjected to Lightning Overload and 300 degree high temperature without being destroyed. They are no longer available. At the same time, other information centers have also received this message, and all of them have temporarily closed the access to external information, And began to strengthen the firewall.At the other end of the world, Joshua, who had just lost contact with the other end of the world, frowned.

"What kind of mental barrier is this? How can it be so powerful?" His tone was a little puzzling: "is it really difficult to be a soul puppet to the point where I can't break it?"

"No matter how the link is black screen... It seems that the technology of soul puppet is really stronger than I thought."

At this time, the chariot and others had slowly crossed the swamp area with a lot of electric charges, and came to a position behind Joshua. They looked very worried, but they were still slowly approaching. But just as the three were preparing to walk through a complex swamp terrain, the giant puppet and the black boy turned their heads together, They said in an electronic voice with a response: "chariot, is there any news about the puppet's" faith "in the rebel forces

"What is faith?"

Looking at the blank faces of chariots and others, Joshua felt that it was useless to ask them, but it was meaningless to continue to search for the soul of the core puppet - the link between the other side and the distant place seemed to be broken. Joshua could not continue to explore information through the information track, and even if he still kept the link, it was useless. The firewall was too strong, He can't get in for a while.

"Believer data package, and the prayer..."

Without paying attention to the frightened chariot behind him, Joshua whispered to himself, "if I guess correctly, the innate special soul core structure, coupled with some limited authority, can create a soul puppet with partial self will, and when the puppet has a soul, It will be loaded with a packet called "believer" to cultivate belief in a certain existence. "

"Creator, promoter of time, master, listen to this name, do you say..."

After pondering for a few seconds, the soldier frowned and said in a low voice, "behind these soul puppets, is there a God who created" puppets "

But why? Even Joshua, who is not very interested in becoming a God, knows that if he wants to provide faith for a God and get spiritual assistance that can resist divinity, then the believer himself must have a firm will and a complete soul. The stronger the will and faith, the purer the help, and the more complete and powerful the soul, the greater the amount.

The belief of soul puppets is the data package implanted into the underlying program. This firmness is undoubtedly better than most people, but their souls... To tell you the truth, Joshua thinks that they are not complete at all, but just barely. No matter how pure this amount is, it can not provide much help.

Moreover, if we really need faith, why not design some "faith garden"? It's just like the "plantation garden", "industrial garden" and "mining garden" are specialized in harvesting food, industrial products and raw materials. The "belief garden" is specialized in brainwashing ordinary xiboyans and super powers, so that this group of brainwashed people can be provided blindly, and then provide a large number of beliefs as trust batteries. This kind of design, no matter how you think about it, is better than spending dozens of souls to create a defective puppet of self-consciousness and let them provide faith.

"No, maybe there is such a garden, but I didn't see it."

For the time being, Joshua felt that it was meaningless to continue to think in this regard. At present, the situation of xiboya is becoming more and more interesting and complicated. When the soldiers think of it, they can't help humming. They don't know whether it's interesting or not.

Xieya and soul puppets, superpowers and rebels, the collapse of the last generation of civilization, the origin and end of war, puppets with self-awareness and belief, spiral towers in the middle of the world, gods hidden behind the scenes, and most importantly, steel boa constrictors driven out of the world.

There are more and more secrets in the world of Siberia hidden in the center of the vortex of the void. Joshua can't help but have a premonition that all these things are related. The expulsion of Siberia, the steel python, is not an accident for no reason, but a planned man-made action, It's probably the person who made the current situation in the world of Siberia.

——It's really interesting, whether it's a person or a puppet, an individual or a civilization, the world where the Commission is located is beyond my imagination again and again.

Just behind Joshua, the chariot trio was watching the battlefield carefully.

As bystanders of the battle, they were not attacked. At most, they were frightened. No matter the earthquake, swamp, rainstorm or thunder affected their location. I don't know whether Joshua deliberately did it. At this time, the chariot looked ahead, and he could not help breathing out a breath.

Everywhere you look, you see the remains of puppets.

The puppet buried in the earth, shattered by shock, dumped in the water, scorched by the thunder, fell into the swamp and couldn't move. The puppet whose soul core was blown out had no debris at all, and was blown into powder by the huge iron fist... Within a few kilometers, the earth was in a mess and devastated, Dirty oil mixed with muddy water surging in the crevice of the soil, can smell the smell of iron.In just ten minutes, a whole army of ten thousand hunters was annihilated, leaving only half of the puppets in the other party's hands that were probably broken... And the chariot knew that this was not the limit, because when the torrential rain fell and the thunder roared, he saw the wind surging in the surrounding atmosphere, and the rudiments of more than a dozen tornadoes emerged in the gloomy world, but he didn't know why, Instead of making tornadoes, Joshua used the next ability.

When it comes to ability. The chariot couldn't help looking up at the back of the huge puppet. Six precious stones were shining on the rotating steel ring. Silver, green, platinum, red, black and six colors work regularly. Powerful energy surges in the air, producing various kinds of energy particles.

If a gem means a super power as powerful as before, then these six gems are priceless. They also mean that they are enough to completely destroy the hunter army and the power of the Resistance Army. This huge puppet and young man in front of us is a dangerous person who can kill the whole Resistance Army with his own strength!

Moreover, the other side seems to be very dissatisfied with their killing of labor puppets.

But what can we do... The old man who has already entered the old age and basically experienced the rise and fall of the rebel army can't help sighing in his heart.

Unlike the ordinary young superpowers who don't know anything, chariots certainly know that the labor puppets who work outside the original place are the parents of these superpowers!

It was almost clear when the first baby in the rebellion was born - when everyone saw that the woman with a swollen abdomen, who was suspected of having a malignant disease, gave birth to a baby in pain, all the smarter people in the rebellion almost understood how life came into the world... And in the discovery plantation, When the labor puppets also gave birth to children, the middle and high levels of the resistance almost knew where they and others came from.

At the beginning, the initial rebel forces wanted to save some labor puppets from the garden, but these ordinary people have long been brainwashed into human flesh puppets without wisdom and self will. To save them is not only to kill them, but also to oppress the resource reserves of all other super powers. Aware of their own powerlessness, in order to prevent other superpowers from overpowering themselves to rescue the labor puppets after knowing the truth, and then lead to internal unrest in the rebel army, the leader deliberately and clearly drew the line between the superpowers and ordinary people, and only rescued those children with superpowers.

As for the subsequent massacre, it was only to achieve the goal. Over the years, most of the superpowers have not regarded the ordinary Xieya people as human beings for a long time. They really think that they are not the same species as the workers, and they feel comfortable killing them - even some people find that such killing can relieve the pressure, and actually like this behavior.

It's... Sad.

"Why, chariot, you look very bad."

Suddenly hearing a strange young voice, the old man was startled, but after all, he was also a member of the Resistance Army, so he turned his head calmly and said with a trace of awe: "Puppet Master... I'm a little uncomfortable."

I don't know when Joshua's humanoid puppet has come to the side of the chariot trio. He ignores the explosion, which is too nervous to speak. He talks about it with Gu. It seems that he is watching the invisible scenery. Only the chariot has enough psychological quality to dare to speak to the young man who killed the whole army of hunters by one person.

"Before, when the Unlocker repeated my question, I noticed that you were the only one who didn't show disapproval."

The soldier said calmly. He didn't care about the old man's face, but continued: "you answered my question calmly. It's incredible that you can live to old age in such a doomsday situation... You should be the elder of the Resistance Army, so I want to ask. "

"What do you think of the world?"

Asked Joshua, sincere and curious.

"How's it going?"

At first, the chariot was still a little strange. He wanted to answer this question casually, but when he was just about to open his mouth, the old man's throat suddenly rolled and didn't make a sound... The chariot took a deep breath, but it was still difficult to suppress the violent emotion surging from his heart.

Sadness, pain, despair, fatigue, as long as you think of your life for decades, the chariot will want to roar, want to lament, want to cry - but in the end, none of this happened. This strong old man just bit his teeth, forced to calm down, and then quietly replied with a flat, no ups and downs voice: "not very good."

——Of course.

——How can it be good.

——This kind of asshole's life, where has the half good?!——Is there anything I can get used to in this damned world?!

The chariot will not say this kind of general statement. The old man's voice was calm. Even though he had waves in his heart, he didn't show any excessive emotion: "it's too hard."

——It's more than hard work. It's hell. I travel back and forth in the hot world with a group of new people who don't know anything. I fight with the dangerous enemy, plunder food, raid the garden, kill my own kind, watch myself getting older and stronger... I really want to die so as not to suffer.

However, for the negative emotions, the old people feel that it's enough for them to bear them alone. They don't need to vent them, pollute other people, and cast a psychological shadow on the younger generation. If they don't know, they don't know. Ignorance can be regarded as happiness. That's enough. It's just killing people. It's no big deal.

The chariot closed his eyes and he took a deep breath.

Never stop. We can't stop looting and rescue operations, and the resistance can't have conflicts. Even if we kill our parents and compatriots, even if we give up a lot of things, the resistance will continue to move forward... Because if the present world is hopeless, then staying in the same place and doing nothing is forever hopeless.

We can't stop, absolutely can't, we must resist, destroy the soul puppet's garden, and enhance our own strength... If we have enough strength, we will attack the center of the world, we must keep on advancing, because only in the front can we have hope, as long as we hesitate, we will sink into the abyss.

This is the sorrow of the weak, and determination.

The chariot opened his eyes and said nothing. He let out a breath and his expression became firm again.

He thought the topic was over, but when the old man looked up, he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Yes, you do."

Joshua looked at this strong, heart like a real steel cast old man, he did not sigh, nor praise, but the same tone of flatly said: "it's really not a very good world."

"Take it."

With the sound of something falling off and the shock of the chariot, the six colored gems behind the huge puppet fell off from the rotating steel disc with one finger of the black haired boy. The six fist sized gems gradually shrunk in mid air, and finally condensed into six thumb sized translucent crystals. At the center of the six crystals, the six fist sized gems were separated from the steel disc, There are six colors of steel shining.

Subconsciously taking these six crystals, the chariot felt countless complex information emerge in his mind at the moment when he touched them, and these information were rapidly simplified layer by layer, and finally turned into a diagram and explanation that even he could clearly understand... He could not look at them carefully, only knew that it was probably a mental exercise, The old man raised his head in shock, but he didn't see the figure of the black haired boy.

The chariot turned its head and looked at the giant puppet. He just saw that the giant steel puppet, which was already 15 meters high, was slowly rising under the rotation of the steel wheel, and then it went straight into the sky.

Joshua has left.

Joshua said nothing, and there was no need to say anything.

Since the xiboya resistance knows what they have done and what they have chosen, since the xiboya resistance has the determination to give up and move forward, and since the xiboya resistance just wants a hope.

Then he gave them the seeds of the future and hope.

It was originally a super unit formed by the flesh and blood of countless super powers. It belonged to their compatriots. They only returned the things to their original owners, and then the additional super power cultivation methods were just derived, so it was no big deal.

That's enough.

Enough to change the world
