Your Cheat Balance is Insufficient - Chapter 223
Put the little boy who lost his vital signs on the ground, Tang Xiao looked at Alita: “William is dead.”
It stands to reason that she would not be so straightforward in front of a child who is not familiar with the world. But considering the various situations and intuitions in the copy, Tang Xiao knew that Alita was different.
Sure enough, there was no panic or surprise on the little girl’s face, she just repeated gently: “William is dead.”
Then she squatted down with her skirt, gently kissed the little boy’s forehead, and covered the other’s tightly closed eyes with two small hands.
“In the past, people in the apocalyptic world often died, adults said, so that their pain would disappear and go to heaven.”
After finishing speaking, Alita breathed gently on William’s forehead, as if the playmate was still alive, letting his pain fly away.
Looking carefully, the little girl’s obsidian eyes were filled with shallow and quiet sadness, but she didn’t cry or speak, just squatted there quietly.
Tang Xiao also crouched down, “William is dead, you are the only child left in the town, and you can only go to your new home alone.”
Alita looked at her silently without speaking.
Tang Xiao: “Have other children in the town died like this before?”
Alita is very familiar with the action just now. As has been done so many times – this is not the response of a child who has lived in peace for a long time.
Alita responded this time, she nodded and said in a low voice: “Yes.”
“Then the reason why there are only two children in the town, you and William, is because the other children are dead?”
Faced with this question, Alita blinked, but shook her head and said, “No. There are only two children, Alita and William in the town.”
“Since Alita came here, it was just us.”
There are only two children from the beginning to the end, and many children die? These words sounded very contradictory at first, but Tang Xiao immediately reacted.
“So,” Tang Xiao said softly, “the children who once died were also Alita and William, right?”
This time, Alita raised her face, looked at Tang Xiao with clear eyes, and put her finger in front of her mouth: “Shh, you can’t say it, this is everyone Things that can’t be said. Sister security guard, don’t tell others, and don’t tell other adults, okay?”
“Alita doesn’t want to die, it hurts every time she dies. Sometimes she feels that she doesn’t want to live anymore. But after she comes back alive, she will have hot milk and bread to eat. At this time , Alita is afraid of death again.”
“Alita is a very bad child and will always make adults unhappy, so adults will always quietly let Alita die. But adults never tell children, But they don’t know that sometimes, Alita thinks about these things.”
During the opening time.
Tang Xiao stared at Alita, from the first sentence the little girl said, she realized everything.
“So, you know it all the time.”
The dark place under the surface of this small town that tries to leave a fire and create a new world is seen by its “fire”.
Alita raised her hand slightly and pointed to the biscuit in Tang Xiao’s hand.
“When Alita came here, there were few adults in the town, and there was no food or water. But they said this would be the last safe place in the apocalyptic world.”
“From that day on, Alita never saw Mom and Dad again. But Dad left a bag of dozens of cookies for Alita for her 8th birthday Gifts, hidden in places only we know, and every month, Alita can eat a piece.”
Now there is only one cookie left. At least a few years have passed since they just came here.
Tang Xiao remembered what the staff said in the research building.
“It is now the 10th year of the Hope Calendar.”
However, a little girl who came here at the age of eight and lived for several years, how could she still be seven or eight years old?
Unless the people in this small town somehow made Alita stay 8 years old forever.
In this way, she will always stay in the moment of life with the strongest resistance to the doomsday radiation, and will always be the best kind of fire.
And then what?
Did Alita finally enter the “New World” smoothly?
In front of you, what time is Alita from?”
The little girl was silent for a long time, until the air condensed, she turned to look at the little boy’s body.
“Now, when did the security sister in front of me come from?”
Before Tang Xiao could answer, a low voice fell into the air.
Alita doesn’t want pain, doesn’t want to wade into cold pipes, doesn’t want to pretend to be normal when her memory is restored. There are many people in the town, but she is always lonely and scared.
The adults said that the new home will be built soon, and after Alita and William pass, they will have eternal happiness and safety, and no longer have to worry about danger.
So she has been looking forward to, fantasizing, there will never be death in the new home, she and William will find many partners and live a happy life together.
However, before departure, when she saw William’s cold body, Alita realized for the last time that this dream would never come true.
William died again, this time completely. Because he is “not perfect” and does not meet the requirements of the researchers.
They would rather have Alita alone in the new world than leave a single flaw that could affect the plan.
The last memory about this world is that she was sitting in the huge mechanical cabin of the research room, with countless data cables connecting her whole body, she opened her eyes and made a sound, and asked the researcher next to her, what new What is the world like?
The researcher is a gray-haired old man who can’t tell if it’s a man or a woman, but remembers that his eyes are full of pity.
“A place where Alita can have new life.”
Alita saw them input a lot of data into a huge computer, and those data turned into a humanoid module, and all kinds of brand-new data appeared in the module,
The girl vaguely realized that it was her “new life”.
There are different names, different appearances, and different identities.
Unfortunately, she will never know what her name is in the new world.
The last sentence was scattered in the air, accompanied by Alita’s soft and waxy voice:
“The people here are greedy, they will make you do endless tasks, and they will not let you go until death… But I only have one problem.”
“Sister, do you know my name in the new world?”
…
“…So, the dark room just now is actually a dead space full of doomsday radiation?”
Han Leilei asked this sentence in a half-vomited state. He could no longer spit out anything—even if he could spit it out, it was an unknown substance mixed with bloodshots.
Li Hua had vomited for a round beside him, and his face was pale now.
Although the two of them successfully left the room just now, they also left serious sequelae, such as sluggish movements, irreversible injuries, and splitting headaches.
At first, they thought it was just caused by some kind of toxin, until the two found the intersection, facing the signs of [Entertainment Street] and [Rest Street], they chose Rest Street but were rejected:
[Sorry, the body radiation concentration of the entrant was detected to be too high, which exceeded the maximum carrying range of the rest street, and the access could not be opened]
But the two of them have only cleaned up the radiation once in the alliance field. How could the radiation concentration be too high?
So Li Hua used his powers to find the source of the radiation—in the dark room where they had just briefly stayed.
“This dungeon… is too perverted,” Han Leilei grumbled feebly, “It’s actually a special space to store radiation, and a special connection to the corpse pipeline, are they trying to study mutant zombies? “
Li Hua said coldly, “It would be great if it were a mutant zombie.”
Obviously, what this town wants is much bigger than Resident Evil.
Cannot enter the rest area, the two can only retreat and choose the entertainment area, but then, the prompt sign also turns red:
[The interior of the entertainment area has become a warning area due to data leakage. Any creatures cannot enter and exit, please stay away. 】
“Grass!” Han Leilei couldn’t help but scolded weakly, feeling that he was really beeping a dog: “We can’t enter both areas, so don’t we have to stay here forever?”
But the security guards will find them soon, and there is no difference between staying where they are and sending them to death.
“…Not necessarily, there is another way to leave.” Li Hua’s eyes moved, “Don’t forget, this copy has two different spatial states.”
One is the “normal world” where they are now, with npc; and the other is the empty copy they saw at the beginning.
“If we can go back to another level, we can be safe for a while.”
After listening to Li Hua’s words, Han Leilei controlled his chaotic mind, and then made it clear: “Yes, since we can enter this space, we must also be able to go back… But how can we go back?”
Li Hua asked, “How did we get in?”
“Of course it’s because I met that unlucky npc…” Han Leilei’s eyes lit up: “You mean, if you find that npc again, maybe you can switch spaces again!”
In a dungeon with countless researchers, finding one of the researchers alone, while avoiding security inspections, is basically impossible for two players with reduced mobility.
But at this time, the abilities of Li Hua and Han Leilei just came in handy.
“The bruises are in the next cabinet, and the broken arms and legs are all dead. There is no medicine. Go to the rest area to fend for yourself.”
As soon as the door was opened, a lazy voice came from the door. The frightened two followed the source of the sound, only to see a doctor lounging in a chair.
This is the infirmary.
In the room filled with the smell of disinfectant, there was only one person lying on a hospital bed, and it was the researcher.
At this time, the “culprit” didn’t seem to know them at all, and only asked the doctor nervously: “I’m really fine, I can be discharged!”
The doctor slowly retorted: “Team Nie Bai, according to the regulations, you have to stay here for a day to observe.”
The researcher named Nie Bai looked very anxious: “No, I have something to do, I have to go out now!”
Doctor: “Even if you love what you do, you must…”
“It’s not about work!” Nie Bai simply got out of bed and staggered out, “It’s a very important matter… Ah!”
He directly hit Li Hua and Han Leilei, and a USB flash drive fell from his pocket.
Han Leilei picked it up faster than him, and at the same moment, Nie Bai’s face became extremely pale.
Observing this scene, Li Hua seemed to understand something.
“Mr. Nie, we seem to know why the data packet you are responsible for has [weirdly disappeared] from the system.”
