When the Veda thought that they had "escaped", they must have chased after them once. At that time, Lin Sanjiu and the others purposely waited for a while. They guessed that the Veda had returned to the Data Stream Library after coming back empty-handed. Then, they sneaked out and entered the hall.
If that was the case, the most pressing question at hand was, would the Veda come out from behind them again?
What if they were caught by the Veda while they were chatting happily? That would be hilarious!
The two of them, the insect, and Ji Shanqing, who was still trapped in the cage, gathered together and discussed for a while. Lin Sanjiu had spoken too confidently just now, as if the Veda could do nothing to them. If they showed even the slightest hesitation, Sven would immediately find out the truth.
It was a little difficult to think of a way to ensure their safety while not showing any signs of fear.
Unwittingly, the discussion soon became dominated by Ji Shanqing's analysis. Following his suggestion, Lin Sanjiu asked Sven a question.
"What is the difference between this hall and the Data Stream Library?"
A strange voice came from the hole in the corpse. Lin Sanjiu could not tell if Sven was sighing or not. "It's a long story. You can think of the hall as your world, and the Data Stream Library as our world."
"What do you mean?"
"In our technological system, all matter can ultimately be interpreted as data. Therefore, the ultimate form of our development is to turn ourselves into data, "Sven said calmly. "However, there are many worlds that do not exist in this most basic form. For example, the Salvation of God. Of course, we could turn these worlds into data, but first, it would be too much work, and second, it would be meaningless for us to do so. Therefore, we came up with a compromise. We built a passage to a physical world outside of our data world. This hall is one such passage. "
"What would we do if we wanted to go to a non-data world? If we made changes to our own data sets and changed ourselves into a human, an octopus, a flower, or a Messerian, it would be uneconomical and risky. So, we will write a physical shell and place it in the passage. Then, we will enter the shell and control it to travel to the non-Vaveda world. "
Even though Lin Sanjiu and the rest did not know what kind of creature "Meheer" was, they quickly understood what it meant. "So, these are not real living people? For you, this is just a changing room … Put on these outer shells and go somewhere else? "
"You're right."
In other words, as long as the Veda did not go to the Salvation of God, there was no reason for them to come out. After all, they had already searched this place once.
"Why are you going to the Salvation of God?" Ji Shanqing asked. Ji Shanqing had to admit that the grand prize was very perceptive. In just a few words, he had already grasped most of the situation.
"At first, it was to modify the Salvation of God, but after that, other than necessary data collection, we did not go there often."
It's good that you don't go there often!
However, just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, they heard Ji Shanqing say, "No! If you don't go there often, why did you prepare so many human bodies? "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment before she understood what Ji Shanqing meant. She quickly added, "When I first arrived, I saw a few people waking up. Then, the floor split open, and they fell in …"
"Oh, you saw our people." Sven did not seem surprised at all.
"Our people?"
"We have never given up —"
Just as Sven said that, a slight gust of wind suddenly blew in the hall. Puppeteer twisted his body and shouted, "Who's there?" Among the bodies on the floor, two people abruptly sat up. The man and the woman sat up straight before opening their eyes. They looked at the people in the hall with a smile on their faces.
"Veda!" Soulsqn screamed.
The man and the woman glanced at the people in the hall, but they did not seem to care. They turned around and looked at each other. There were still a few human bodies between them. Suddenly, the woman pouted her lips and blew a kiss at the man. The man chuckled and licked his teeth. Then, the floor split open and they fell together.
It was only then that Soulsqn slammed on the brakes, stopping the ability she was about to unleash.
"What's going on?" Fina asked, and the surprise on his face slowly slid down.
Lin Sanjiu rushed to the spot where the man and the woman fell, but all she saw was a smooth, seamless metal floor. She did not know what was going on. "Aren't they the Veda? Why didn't they come to catch us? "
"What a coincidence. In your words, speak of the devil … That's our people. " Sven did not seem surprised at all. "I haven't finished my sentence yet. We have never given up on creating intelligent beings."
After a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu finally understood what it was trying to say. She slowly opened her mouth wide.
"That's right …" The Veda told her that they had never succeeded in creating intelligent beings. This meant that they had tried more than once. At that time, her mind was filled with all kinds of information, so she did not think too deeply about it. Where did those failed "intelligent beings" go?
"We have been troubled by this problem for more than a century. We have continued to improve, but the people we have created are still full of flaws. Some of them are so stupid that it makes one's hair stand on end, even though we have adjusted their intelligence parameters. Some are sluggish, some are crazy, and some are just inexplicable. In short, none of them are normal. Not to mention being on par with us, they aren't even completely human. "
When Sven finished, the faces of the people in the room darkened.
"After deleting batch after batch of failed products, we wondered if it was because they lacked the evolutionary process that many intelligent beings would go through," Sven explained slowly. "So, we found a planet, modified it, and wrote a lot of conditions to create a competitive environment for them. Then, we put a shell on it and released it. Other than the time when the shell dies, the planet will come back to be inspected by us regularly."
"This planet is the Salvation of God. Our people are what you call 'Gods'. "
The hall was dead silent for a moment.
"But, but …" Lin Sanjiu stammered, "Those Gods are very big …"
"Further modification of the shell," Sven said as if he had expected this question, "will be carried out in a space under this floor. Just like in your computer games, this is just an account login. After you fall, the game progress will be checked. After you walk out of the white fog, the game will officially start. "
"Game? All of this is just a game? "
Lin Sanjiu's face flushed and paled. Hiliu's expression when she breathed her last appeared in her mind.
At that time, she was still filled with hatred and indignation. However, she knew that everything would be over soon, and it did not matter anymore.
"It's just a metaphor. You don't have to be so agitated."
Sven did not seem to care about her anger. He said softly, "I know you will be transported away every 14 months. Let's make a deal. I will help you leave this place. The next time my subjects come out, I will inform you in advance to stand beside them. That way, you can return to the Salvation of God with them. When your time is up, we will never see each other again. "
It was indeed a good chance to leave this place, but Lin Sanjiu's face was still flushed. She could not calm herself down. Puppeteer stared at the corpse on the floor with a dark expression. He did not look like he was thinking of a way to escape. Instead, he looked more like he was thinking of how to kill someone.
Even though the grand prize's eyes lit up, he soon fell into deep thought as if he was weighing the credibility of Puppeteer's words. The only person who seemed to be excited was Soulsqn. "Great! Let's do it! "
"But your companions seem to have doubts," Sven said to Soulsqn. Sheng Jiaoyang said to it. "Why don't you think about it for a while and tell me when you have a consensus?"
Soulsqn immediately turned around. She did not dare to question Puppeteer, so she said to Lin Sanjiu, "Why are you still hesitating? You are already … I mean, there's no point in staying here! Why don't you just go back? You don't have anyone to worry about, but I still have my people waiting for me! "
Fortunately, Soulsqn wasn't stupid enough to reveal the truth. Lin Sanjiu looked at the corpse on the ground nervously. However, Sven didn't seem to notice Soulsqn's slip of the tongue. He remained silent.
She looked up at the grand prize first. He was frowning. No one knew what he was thinking about, so he did not notice Lin Sanjiu's gaze. She looked at Puppeteer again and immediately knew that Soulsqn could not go back.
There was no expression on his face. It was as if he was a thousand-year-old rock that had been frozen. The glitter around his eyes had gradually darkened, turning into a bottomless darkness. After a while, his eyes would flicker.
The Veda had recreated Yun in front of him. That alone was enough for him to not let them go. If there was anything more terrifying than Puppeteer, it would be a vengeful Puppeteer.
Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly.
Even if the two of them were to become enemies the moment they returned to the Salvation of God, she couldn't leave Puppeteer behind to take revenge on her own. Besides, only he knew where the cat doctor and Hu Changzai were. Just when she turned around and walked toward the grand prize, intending to discuss a solution with him, the grand prize raised his head abruptly, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Sheng Jiaoyang, speak immediately!" He suddenly shouted, startling everyone. The grand prize's voice echoed in the hall, but there was no response from the Veda.
"Quick!" He pounced on the barrier and shouted at Puppeteer, "Check your Special Item!"
Puppeteer wiped his lips with his hand, and his expression changed instantly.
"It didn't speak just now because it wanted to buy time to escape!" He quickly came to his senses and walked to the corpse. Ji Shanqing was also stomping his feet in the cover. "No wonder it explained everything in detail. It must be looking for a chance to read the information!"
However, Sven did not say anything after that.
She had finished reading Puppeteer's barrier. After reading the data of the Special Item, Sven had reconstructed a corner of the barrier. All she needed to do was to open a small opening, and she would be able to leave the hall.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces pale.
The grand prize was the first to react. "It has gone back! It will definitely bring more Veda here. We have to run now! "
"Run to where? Are we going to wait for our people to come out? "However, Lin Sanjiu knew it was not a feasible idea.
