Chu Hao looked at Zhang Heng's serious expression and exhaled. He casually took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one for himself, and threw one to Zhang Heng. Then, without caring whether Zhang Heng smoked or not, he lit the cigarette himself. After taking a puff, he said to Zhang Heng, "Since you're not in a hurry to complete the mission, can you walk with me for a while?"
Zhang Heng took the cigarette and pinched it in his hand. He nodded silently and followed Chu Hao out. Lu Zixue gritted her teeth and followed the two of them out.
Currently, Chu Hao and the others were living in a villa district that they had just rented. The district was very well-equipped, including a hospital, shopping street, school, sports field, and so on. When Chu Hao walked out with Zhang Heng and Lu Zixue, they saw some people running on the streets outside. They even saw some students going to school. Occasionally, they could see some middle-aged and elderly people watering their grass and flower beds. The streets of the entire district were peaceful.
Chu Hao walked silently with Zhang Heng and Lu Zixue. After a while, Zhang Heng suddenly said, "You don't have to talk about these peaceful scenes. I saw and heard your god-level deception with my own eyes, so don't use these peaceful scenes to deceive me. The world I see is the world of assassins. There is peace, and there is murder. I already understand that these have nothing to do with what you and I want to talk about!"
"Yes, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to see these. There's no other special meaning." Chu Hao turned around and said with a smile.
Zhang Heng continued to be silent. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Then let me ask you. What you said in the Creator Space before, all the arrangements and inferences you told us, as well as the decision to take action in this movie world, are those true?"
"They are true." Chu Hao answered without thinking.
"Alright, since all of this is real, then … You want to redeem this realm in order to obtain great benefits. Regardless of whether it's a large number of reward points, side plots, or the possible authority, all of these are part of your original intention, right?" Zhang Heng stared at Chu Hao as he said this.
"Yes, this is also true. This is what I said from the bottom of my heart." Chu Hao immediately nodded his head and answered.
When Zhang Heng heard this, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Then … your justice, in order to obtain reward points, side quests, and authority, you went on a killing spree, killed those innocent people, killed those who might live past Judgment Day, and really killed them to prevent Judgment Day. Answer me, this question!"
Chu Hao did not answer immediately this time. He took a deep drag on his cigarette and stamped it out. Then he said, "If I say that I have all of these questions, you definitely won't believe me. So since you've asked, I'll tell you some of my situation frankly … First of all, I'm the leader of the Renegades Organization, one of the first few people who founded the Renegades Organization. The C Organization and X Organization we're fighting against are extremely terrifying and enormous organizations whose strength is far beyond our imagination. I think both of you should have some understanding of them. The X Organization is even a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than we originally expected. They can even invade the World of Samsara."
"Then … have you seen the Apocalypse?"
Chu Hao asked seriously. Without waiting for the two to answer, he continued, "The Apocalypse in TV, movies, and novels doesn't count. You probably haven't seen a real Apocalypse, have you? But … I have, I've seen the most realistic Apocalypse I've ever seen. "
"In the real world, there are many anomalies that appear out of nowhere. Most of them are harmful, such as ghosts, monsters, memetic effects, and so on. You should have heard of them, or even seen them with your own eyes. For example, the incident three years ago was recorded in the Renegades' records. It happened to be a memetic crisis that caused you to experience what happened back then …"
"However, not all anomalies are harmful. Among the anomalies of the Renegades Organization, there are a very small number that are good and helpful to us, giving us the power to fight against the C Organization and X Organization. And among these good anomalies, there are three that are directly related to the survival of our Renegades Organization. The Trinity supercomputer is one of them, and the one I'm about to talk about is also … a space-time fragment."
At this point, Chu Hao's eyes glowed with an indescribable light. He turned back to the peaceful street and continued, "It's a space-time fragment about the size of a window. It can be physically touched or entered. This space-time fragment changes space and time once every 24 hours. Most of the time, it changes space and time within Earth's range, no more than 100 meters away. Of course, there are also times when it moves underground or underwater, or even magma. In order to safely contain it, our organization has paid a great price."
"This space-time fragment will constantly move to the future of our world, and every future is different. Some futures are peaceful, where there is neither the C X Organization nor our Renegades Organization. Those futures are like heaven, but the majority of futures are apocalyptic …"
"There's the future of nuclear war, which leads to a nuclear winter; there's the leaking of biological weapons, which leads to a biohazard crisis; there's the mutation of certain organisms, which leads to the collapse of the biological cycle; there's also the betrayal of artificial intelligence robots similar to Skynet, which leads to the complete mechanization of Earth. There are all kinds of futures and apocalypses, but in every future … there's nothing but misery for us humans."
"Death. The deaths of billions of people. The survivors are killing each other for food. In order to avoid the dangers of the end of the world, whether it's Resident Evil, zombies, giant insects, or killer plants, humans are living like animals. They're living like walking corpses. There's no civilization, no comfort, no future …"
"There's something even more terrifying than that, it's the apocalypse brought about by the meme effect …"
At this point, Chu Hao turned to Zhang Heng and said, "This space-time fragment is inside the Renegades Organization's anomaly. If you want to take a look, I can take you there. From this fragment, I've seen too much misery that can't be stopped or looked directly at. In fact, the Renegades Organization sacrificed so many people and expended so much manpower and resources to solve these problems every year. Even if I don't tell you, you should be able to guess, but it's useless … because in the foreseeable future, unless the C X Organization is defeated, this apocalypse will be the future of our world. I want to stop all of this, I want to borrow the power of the Overgod Realm to stop all of this."
"You can call me a hypocrite or a hypocrite, but I've seen those terrifying apocalypses, I've seen the peace of this world, I've seen the good people who saved me when I was young, and I've seen the truth, kindness, and beauty with my own eyes. Even though there's endless darkness and blood in this world, even though there are many imperfect people and things in this world, I truly want to save all of this. I want to save everyone who wants to live, and I … have always done so. Defeat the C X Organization, take revenge on them, and protect everything that is worth cherishing."
At this point, Chu Hao pointed at his heart and said, "I'll say it again. If you want to achieve victory without paying anything, without sacrificing anything, without choosing anything, isn't this victory a little too cheap? I already have enough thoughts to bear all of this. I can sacrifice everything that can be sacrificed, others, you, and even myself, to achieve the goal of saving more people, including this world. This is a real world. Even if everything in the Terminator movie is happening in this world, it's still real. "
"I don't want the apocalypse to come and destroy this world. I also want to make myself stronger. These are all my goals, so I want to save this world. I want to redeem this world. So what if I have to kill thousands of people? So what if I have to destroy the world? As long as I can achieve all of this, I'm willing to bear all of the sins. "
"This, is my justice."
Zhang Heng raised his head and silently looked at the white pigeons flying across the sky. He suddenly looked at Chu Hao and chuckled, then turned to Lu Zixue and said, "Let's go. There's a lot of work to do, and we still have to rush … Let's make it clear first, don't drag me down, silly girl."
Lu Zixue immediately said angrily, "Who's usually the one dragging who down?! You funny killer!! "
Zhang Heng laughed and began to walk away with Lu Zixue. Chu Hao stood in place. After a while, he seemed to hear a faint voice. It was Zhang Heng's voice.
"I remember everything you said. Even if it's a lie, I still remember it …"
"For the sake of justice, for the sake of awareness … Captain …"
"Don't let the day come when I find out that all of this was for your own selfish reasons, or else …"
His voice gradually faded away. Chu Hao took out a cigarette from his pocket and silently lit it. He silently smoked and began to walk back to his previous residence …
