Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation (One chapter for today, Saturday's gathering. It's been a little unstable these past few days. Sometimes, I'm drunk and I don't want to think about anything. But everyone has something to do, and it's almost the new year …)
Xiao Ran was a little surprised when he saw Reynold, who looked like a brand new man, dressed neatly, and seemed to be prepared for something. He was prepared to use the ultimate mission card to force Reynold to become a participant, but he didn't expect to be surprised as soon as he saw Reynold.
Xiao Ran glanced at the remaining time that he had left in this world. Then, he glanced at Reynold who was ready to see the so-called real Reynold. Xiao Ran smiled at Reynold as he stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome."
Renard looked at Xiao Ran's right hand in front of him, then looked at the smiling Xiao Ran. After a moment of silence, he slowly reached out his hand and shook Xiao Ran's hand gently. Then he said, "I've already agreed to join you. You can also tell me what I have to pay and what I can get in return."
Xiao Ran paused for a moment. He only had a dozen hours left, and Renard's favorability with him was not at the maximum. If he wanted to raise Renard's favorability with him to the maximum and complete the follower mission, there was obviously not enough time left. But Xiao Ran still wanted to give it a try.
Glancing at Leonard, Xiao Ran asked directly, "You'll have to give up a lot of things, and I can't explain it in a few words. But at least you won't have true freedom anymore, and you'll have to continue to become stronger and stronger. However, what you can obtain will far exceed your imagination. Healing your body is the simplest thing that can be done. You can even obtain everything that you can imagine. "
"Once you truly join, you will see and come in contact with things far beyond your imagination. You will see things you have never seen before, and you will also surpass this world itself and stand at a higher level to come in contact with the truth of the world I'm talking about. I can't guarantee that you will definitely get the answer to the question in your heart, but I can give you a path to find the answer."
Renard had been quietly listening to Xiao Ran until Xiao Ran finished. Then he looked deeply at Xiao Ran and said again, "Request."
"Hmm?" Xiao Ran was a little stunned. He didn't quite understand what Renard meant.
"You told me that this world is just one of an infinite number of repeating parallel worlds. Black technology has already developed to a level that can't be explained by current technology. In other words, 'I' may have successfully reset this kind of world many times before. An infinite cycle, an infinite cycle, an infinite cycle, and the track that should have repeated itself was broken because of your appearance."
"Because of this, I can come to two conclusions. First, all of you, including Puento who followed me, came from another 'future' with a higher degree of repetition. Based on different reasons and reasons, you changed the course and development of this world. Judging from your behavior, you chose to protect Chidori and Tessa, while the others gathered by my side in the end."
"Second, all of you came from another world. Otherwise, there's no way to explain the technology you've mastered and why you're doing all this."
"But what puzzles me is that you were the first to notice Chidori's difference and took the initiative to contact Mithril, while the others gathered by my side mostly by coincidence. It's like you know something that others don't know, and you know something that even I don't know. That makes your identity even more suspicious."
"Based on the fact that you've never directly explained some of the problems from the beginning and repeatedly emphasized this world, the cycle, and the repetition of this world, I think the second possibility is more likely. You went to great lengths to get me to join your team because you value my ability and want me to become a member of your team to make up for your team's weakness. And to achieve this goal, you might need certain conditions and requirements, so I'm asking you what your requirements are."
Xiao Ran's pupils suddenly shrank for a while, and the change in his eyes also fell into Renard's eyes, making the latter even more certain of his thoughts.
But what Renard said shocked Xiao Ran greatly. He never thought that Renard would be able to infer the truth from what he said. This was something that had never happened before in all the worlds that Xiao Ran had experienced.
In all the mission worlds that Xiao Ran had encountered, no one had ever looked at participants like Xiao Ran in the direction of a different world. Perhaps it was because Xiao Ran had basically experienced the real world. Even though the technology in the real world was different, it was still very similar, so it was not discovered.
Or perhaps it was because of this world itself. It was a complex world composed of multiple worlds, and every change would cause a huge chain reaction. But even so, how did Renard think of this?
"Is it really because I've emphasized it too many times?" Xiao Ran was puzzled. Renard's words reminded Xiao Ran of Cruzet's inexplicable favorability. "Did Cruzet also discover something?"
"Are you confused?" Renard looked at Xiao Ran's expression and said, "I'm also very confused. After you told me those things, after many days of thinking, you strangely came to know something that I didn't know at all."
"The appearance of the shapeshifting fighter that you've developed is very normal. My rationality also tells me that it's possible and not surprising at all. Indeed, with the technology of this world, it's completely feasible to create that shapeshifting fighter as long as the problem of materials and energy is solved."
"There's nothing to be confused about on this point, but Puento's mech is different. It's completely beyond the technology of this world. The T-LINK system, even if it's not as good as the Lambda Driver, is also a very powerful new technology. Among us Whisperers, no one knows about the existence of this technology."
"Originally, I thought that this thing might be a new combat system developed by another Whisperer, and the sudden appearance of so many strange mechs made me feel that there might be some undercurrent in this world, but I didn't think that all these things actually don't belong to this world at all. In the beginning, I thought that this repeated world shouldn't have appeared."
"When you told me those things, I immediately thought that perhaps these things came from another future, and if that was the case, perhaps you, Puento, and the others came from a different future. However, as I ventured deeper into the domain of the Whisperers, a voice told me that these things had nothing to do with the future at all. They were things that shouldn't have appeared in this world, things that had been repeated countless times, and were existences that truly came from the outside."
"It's very strange. In the beginning, when I didn't know about all this, I naturally pushed all these things to the Whisperers, thinking that they were unknown mechs created by other more powerful Whisperers. After learning about the existence of multiple worlds, I naturally thought that these things came from another future."
"But after the voice in the Whisperers' domain told me that these weren't the case, I suddenly realized that my thoughts were unknowingly affected by some factors that I didn't understand at all. It made me think that everything that seemed unreasonable became reasonable, and in fact, the voice in the Whisperers' domain was the real one."
"Two completely different information appeared in my mind, but I was more certain that the information in the Whisperers' domain was the real one. And your origins are even more mysterious to me. Guests from a mysterious world, if I want to join you, would it be as simple as giving up my freedom? I don't think that's the case."
"Otherwise, a team with a clear goal like yours would have become extremely chaotic a long time ago, so there must be another request, a more demanding request that turned me into someone like you."
"So my question is, other than giving up my freedom, what other request do I need? As for your shocked reaction, I think it's very interesting, because it also means that my guess is right. The Whisperers' domain seems to be a domain that the powerful force that can affect the thoughts of humans in our world can't reach."
"Or is it because the Whisperers' domain involves other worlds, and the force that can affect the thoughts of humans is only targeted at this world, like a computer without the ability to think independently, and because of the existence of multiple worlds, a bug has appeared?"
"Ding!"
"Mission issued to all participants. The native of this world, Renard, has awakened due to special reasons. Now issuing optional side missions to all participants in this world."
"B-rank side mission issued to kill a special awakened. Kill Renard within 24 hours. Successful kill of Renard will receive 1 follower slot, and can designate one member of this world to become the follower. Mission success will reward 10,000 war achievement points and receive a copy of this world's technological blueprint. Punishment for mission failure: None. "
"Protect a special awakened. Protect Renard from being killed within 24 hours. You need to make contact with Renard and obtain his approval. After the time is up, you will receive 10,000 war achievement points and a copy of this world's technological blueprint. After the mission is successful, Renard can awaken as a participant according to his wishes, or become the follower of a recognized target."
"Ding, you can only choose one of the two missions. If you accept this mission, your time will be forcibly extended to 24 hours."
Xiao Ran's pupils shrank again because of the sudden notification, and he looked at Renard who was sitting on the chair with a similarly stunned expression.
Xiao Ran heard Prometheus' notification, and Renard also heard Prometheus' notification.
"Ding, you have successfully made contact with the existence of Prometheus. Due to a bug and error in this world, you have mistakenly awakened. You have become Prometheus' unchosen participant. Your mission is to successfully survive for the next 24 hours. After the mission is over, this world and all related worlds will be fixed."
"After you survive, you will receive the identity of a participant, and can also choose a participant you approve of to become his follower."
"Real participant number 678 has successfully made contact with you. Number 678 has chosen to protect you. You can choose to accept or reject the other party's protection. Please choose."
Renard looked at Xiao Ran who was nodding at him and said, "Accept."
"You don't have to say it out loud. When you accept or reject, just say it in your mind." Xiao Ran let out a long sigh and said: "I didn't think that things would turn out like this. You actually managed to deduce the existence of Prometheus from something that wasn't even related to him. Now, things are a bit out of my expectations as well"
"But fortunately, the three missions are now over. The number of participants who are still alive won't be too many, and they are all low-level participants. I can protect you, but you can't stay in your current place. It's best to change to a place where you won't be affected too much."
"Because I can't be sure if anyone will accept the mission to kill you, and if they will have your location. Staying here will implicate innocent people."
"Prometheus?" Renard looked at Xiao Ran, the shock in his eyes couldn't be concealed. "What the hell is that?"
"Let's go, I'll explain it to you." Xiao Ran spread his hands, walked to the back of Renard's wheelchair, pushed it with one hand, and began to contact El Erf, Law, Langba, and Puento.
After the communication was connected, El Erf said directly before Xiao Ran could speak. "I've contacted Law, he and Puento have started to prepare the body. Langba and I are on the way to pick up Chidori and Yanni. Let's meet at the research institute."
"Okay."
After a simple conversation, El Erf and Law had already begun to arrange everything without Xiao Ran's instructions. As Xiao Ran's participant, the two naturally knew the situation of the mission received by Xiao Ran after Xiao Ran accepted the mission. They began to make their own arrangements immediately.
After Xiao Ran hung up the phone, Renard also looked forward and suddenly said, "Participants are people like you, then what's the difference between followers and participants?"
Xiao Ran sighed, looking a little helpless. "Just like the name, followers exist as subordinates of participants. They form a team with participants to carry out missions, and share glory and disgrace with the participants."
