Survivorship Bias - Chapter 143
In the sky, the cracks became deeper and deeper.
Three full moons hang, shimmering blue in the sunlight, like translucent gems.
“A new moon appears, representing a new parallel world merging with ours.”
An Wujiu looked up at the sky and whispered.
The so-called “resurrection” does not mean that the dead can be resurrected, but that they will encounter the “dead” who are still alive in a parallel world.
Shen Ti came to the window and saw the people walking towards the building. He was not surprised at all.
The clothes they were wearing were slightly different from what Shen Ti encountered. For example, Wu You, who was polluted, didn’t wear a hat before, but now this one is wearing a gray baseball cap.
When the four of them saw the piles of corpses downstairs, their expressions became very solemn, and they talked to each other, and they seemed to be familiar.
Only without him and An Wujiao.
“So,” Shen Ti said to An Wujiu, “There seems to be no us in the third world.”
That seems to be the case so far, but it’s not certain that they meet too few people from other worlds.
But if they are really the only people in these parallel worlds, the reason for this must have something to do with the altar.
An Wujiu looked at these people and suddenly thought of something, “I don’t know if the masked man left.” He slapped the glass, but they were too high and too far, and the people below could not see it at all.
An Wujiu raised his gun, intending to shoot and smash the glass in front of him, to remind the people from the third world below, but Shen Ti stopped him.
“It’s a little dangerous.” Shen Ti said to An Wujiu, “They can’t get in, without you, they have no authority, if they want to enter through the rooftop, there are no pollutants among them.”
This group is probably the safest and luckiest team so far, with no casualties.
An Wujiu even thought that maybe he was the source of all misfortune, without him, they would be more smooth and peaceful.
“Don’t think about it yet.” Shen Ti grabbed An Wujiu’s wrist, opened it, checked his time, “You have two hours left, I have two and a half hours left. Are we going to meet them again?”
An Wujiu knew that the “they” he said was referring to the four people downstairs, he originally wanted to go down to the first floor and meet them, but this was actually a dangerous decision . The four downstairs were not companions in the world they were in, but complete strangers.
How will they be viewed by the other party? If they go down rashly and persuade them to leave here, will the other party become hostile?
The most important thing is, if the masked man is still nearby and sees them making contact, will he kill them directly to stimulate him.
Pretending to not find it at all may be the best choice for them, after all, these people have no authority and will not stay here for too long.
And Yang Erci and Zhong Yirou, seeing them,
An Wujiu’s mind flashes the images of them dying on the rooftop.
The four people standing below are the price he can no longer pay.
Even if they don’t remember who they are at all, An Wujiu can’t lose them again.
An Wujiu shook his head, “It’s gone.”
He turned around and walked to the stained glass window, thinking about what to do next.
There are only two hours, in order to continue living, they must go outside to kill more pollutants, but this also means that they have to leave here, and they may not be able to return before the end of time.
“Let’s continue to find some clues.” Shen Ti suggested that they split up temporarily. He wanted to go to the laboratory floor to have a look.
He said to An Wujiu, “I can hear your voice, if there is anything, just call my name.”
Shen Ti’s eyes were full of firmness and tenderness, “I will definitely come to you with the fastest speed.”
An Wujiu nodded.
He is the one who needs protection the least.
After all, even the masked man didn’t want to kill him, he just wanted to torture him.
He watched Shen Ti leave the office, walked out, turned around and looked out of the building. The four really gave up entering the main building and got back into the car.
An Wujiu doesn’t know if this is a good choice, but for them, it may be much luckier to leave here than to meet him.
Shen Ti went down the stairs and came to the 46th floor. He took the time to find the clues he could find, but the place was as clean as the top floor. Until he came to the elevator and saw Lilith lying on the ground.
She was lying in a pool of blood, the huge impact of the shooting had almost made her unrecognizable, and the clothes on her body were different from the clothes they wore in that old apartment building, Shen Ti still remembered Last time she wore a hooded hoodie and a mask, but now she’s wearing a crimson knitted sweater.
This means that she and the Lilith they see are people from different time and space.
Shen Ti suddenly thought of Lilith’s abnormal performance at that time.
She seems to be afraid of being recognized by An Wujiu, afraid that he will know that she is his sister.
Perhaps, like Lilith now, she was destined to be used by the masked man as a fatal blow to make An Wujiao go mad. At that time, she probably knew that danger was approaching, so she would refuse to recognize him and urge them to leave.
Yes.
Shen Ti clearly remembered that when they left the building, they did feel that someone was following them.
It should be the masked man.
Shen Ti bowed his head and noticed Lilith’s tightly clenched hands, feeling a little strange, so he started to break it, and it took a little effort to break it apart.
It is a small metal ball.
Shen Ti put it in his hand, checked it, and only found a small hole.
It felt like a very important thing. After he put it away, he put Lilith’s hand back in place, but suddenly found that a number gradually appeared on the back of her hand.
[97]
He has seen such a number on the back of An Wujiu’s hand, his is [99]. According to An Wujiu, a wrong player was matched in the last game, and that player also had numbers on his body, but was recalled by the system later.
The numbers for the three of them are different.
Shen Ti’s eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of something, he got up and left this floor and walked to the rooftop.
He stepped into this **** place again with a blank face, the wind from the rooftop was blowing, and all he could smell was blood.
Compared with An Wujiu’s overflowing empathy, Shen Ti’s ability is almost zero, but the people who died here are the people who were still joking with him a few hours ago, There was also a vague and human feeling in Shen Ti’s body.
“If I knew, I wouldn’t let you come up.” Shen Ti squatted down and checked the backs of other people’s hands and other places.
As expected, the appearance of numbers is not accidental. Everyone here, including Wu You and [Zhong Yirou] who have become pollutants, have numbers on their bodies.
Wu You and Zhong Yirou are 98, while [Yang Erci] and [Zhong Yirou] are 97, the same as Lilith.
Shen Ti opened his hands and checked his hands, but there was nothing on them.
An Wujiu has seen all over his body, except for the number on the back of his hand, nothing else.
When these people were alive, they didn’t seem to have numbers on their hands.
Shen Ti sat on the ground, resting his chin on his hands and closing his eyes and thinking.
At this moment, in the sky, a pollutant with giant four wings and tentacles flew towards Shen Ti at an extremely fast speed, the sharp mouthparts opened in an instant, and came out from inside Dozens of venomous snake-like tentacles.
One of them poked directly at Shen Ti’s eyebrows!
Shen Ti opened his eyes lazily, and his blue-green pupils glowed with a strange light.
In an instant, the pollutants that had sneaked at him just one step away actually solidified in mid-air, as if the eyes were emitting an invisible and huge air pressure, with an almost overwhelming powerful force. hold back.
That is the power of Shen Ti gradually awakening.
.
The pieces of meat fell to the ground in pieces, but the splashes of blood and mucus failed to stain Shen Ti.
Shen Ti just tilted his head, staring at the half of his head where the pollutants fell on the ground, expressionless, looking innocent and ignorant.
“I just thought of where it came from…” Shen Ti frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he didn’t think of it, so he simply stood up.
He felt a little sore in his eyes, so he reached out and rubbed it, turned around and muttered to himself, “I was almost beaten, I have to tell Wu Gui…”
When he went back, an hour had passed.
And Ann got nothing.
But seeing Shen Ti come back safely, An Wu Jiu is still very satisfied. Shen Ti complained to him about the pollutants he encountered, and he looked very weak. After speaking, he remembered what he had just forgotten, and told An Wujiu the numbers he found.
“So…they appeared because they died.” An Wujiu lowered his eyes and stared at the back of his hand, “What about me?”
Shen Ti shook his head, “Not necessarily, although the group of people who have appeared in numbers are all dead, but you didn’t say that there was once a player with a wrong match and was initialized to you In the game you are in, there are numbers on your body that are different from yours, which means that the reason for the numbers is not necessarily death, it’s like a number used to distinguish.”
An Wujiu suddenly understands, “You are right. The so-called match error of that person may be that he accidentally entered the game space of other time and space before the parallel time and space merged, That’s why the altar reported an error. Now all the spaces are beginning to merge, the boundaries are blurred, and there will be a situation where someone from several time and space will appear together.”
“After they die, the space number they belong to will be displayed, does that mean?” Shen Ti said, remembering what Zhou Yijue said, “Yes, Zhou Yijue mentioned, The server number we are on is 98, and the numbers of Wu You and Yirou are both 98, which is correct.”
An Wujiu nodded and raised his hand.
“But when I entered the game from the beginning, there was a number on the back of my hand, and it was 99, not 98.”
He looked up at Shen Ti, “Could it be that I wasn’t originally from this time and space?”
In this closed space-time condition, it is unlikely that there will be two innocents at the same time.”
“These are still unclear.” An Wujiu sank, thinking of what Zhou Yijue said before, “The server we are on is number 98, and the altar is self-learning and split into 0 There are a total of 100 sub-servers on the 99th, which means that if I am the 99th, then there are 99 remaining An Wujiao, but so far, only me has appeared, where do the rest go? already?”
He frowned, and when he thought of this, he suddenly had a splitting headache, so he could only lower his head and rubbed his brows with his fingers.
This sudden pain made it hard for him to think, but he lowered his head to check his wrist, his time has not yet come, and there is still half an hour.
“What’s the matter?” Shen Ti found that something was wrong with him, and supported An Wujiu, “What’s wrong?”
An Wujiu’s face turned pale, as if there were thousands of bugs trying to get out of his brain, the pain was unbearable.
The pain is almost hallucinating.
He repeatedly heard the electronic female voice at the beginning of his awakening, telling him to live and never to be alone.
“You must survive, come see me alive.”
“Be sure to survive…”
Who is it?
The reverberating voice gradually became lower and lower, and finally became almost a man’s voice.
The electronic sound gradually faded away and gradually became familiar.
But in the next second, the sound was interrupted for a moment, and there was only an uninterrupted piercing buzzing in the brain.
An Wujiu raised his head in pain, only to find that the sky darkened in an instant, and finally fell into deep darkness.
The three moons in the sky duplicated one by one, split, more and more, and then suddenly disappeared into the darkness.
Just when they felt incomprehensible, the moons suddenly appeared at the same time!
The entire night sky is filled with the moon emitting a blue glow.
It’s like… countless eyes open at the same time, eyes monitoring everything.
Shen Ti roughly counted, and the number of moons in the sky seems to be the same as the number of sub-servers in the altar.
“That guy Zhou Yijue really didn’t lie to you.”
What they guessed is probably true.
An innocent person who has fought alongside them for so long is really someone from another time and space.
“It doesn’t feel right.” An Wujiao’s hunch is rarely wrong, a huge danger is approaching in his subconscious, he takes Shen Ti’s hand and leads him to turn around to leave here .
They have to act.
But when he turned around, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind him.
The other came towards them from the shadows, a western face, blond, white skin, looking about forty years old, wearing a sharp and expensive tailored suit.
“Are you Russell?” An Wujiu said calmly.
“No blame,” Russell said in a low, hoarse voice, “you are the pride of Chauvin.”
This statement is disgusting.
,yes?”
“There are so many questions.” Russell laughed, “It’s not a press conference now, I don’t need to answer so many questions from you.”
He looked at An Wu Jiao, “Children, being too curious is not a good thing. The world is unknowable.”
He avoided the topic of evil gods.
An Wujiu vaguely heard a cry.
He held the knife, “You also brought someone.”
The corners of Russell’s mouth raised slightly, he walked to the table, and turned the leather office chair with his back turned to face them.
On the empty chair, there was a tied child.
“Noah?” An Wujiu frowned, Noah’s eyes were tied, and even his mouth was blocked so he couldn’t speak.
Shen Ti grabbed An Wujiu and motioned him not to move.
Russell said softly, “It is enough for you to witness the return of that one.”
His eyes stared at the night outside the window, “My Lord, will soon come to the world again. This world originally belonged to him, and everything should be sacrificed to him. “
Just after he finished saying this, an explosion suddenly appeared in the city outside the window, the fire burned to the sky, An Wu Jiu turned back suddenly, this was just the beginning.
In an instant, the world turned into purgatory.
In front of them, in this dark office, a whole blue light spot suddenly appeared, and the light spot gradually condensed to form a world map.
The map shows red dotted distribution, from a small part at the beginning, it gradually spreads and is everywhere.
“Go on! At the moment of God’s return, all people will become children of God.”
An Wujiu suddenly understood.
This is the tainted display of everyone in the world!
They spread to the corners of reality through prosthetics, nano-robots, and finally through the entire altar. The purpose is to make everyone a sacrifice and call back the evil god!
Russell’s eyes were a faint blue light, and he opened his arms and embraced the air of death.
“To the altar of true chaos and madness.”
