I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 281 Dr. Brown
"Sure enough, there is still no information left?"

Lin Xi stood on the street of Dongdao. She had just been in the underground archive of the International Fighting Fans Association. The information inside was no different from Andy's memory, and was even worse than -

Wait, there's something wrong with the computer data?
The memory and paper materials have been tampered with, but the computer data has a lot of erasures. Maybe I should go back and take a look?
"Dingling bell~"

The incoming call number was a string of garbled characters. Lin Xi answered the call and a mechanical synthetic voice came out.

【I've been waiting for you for a long time】

"Are you from the future?" Lin Xi asked.

[You can call me Dr. Brown] The voice neither acknowledged nor objected, but introduced itself and said directly: [Mr. Lin, I think you have also discovered the anomaly of the world]

[Let’s talk about the future?] Lin Xi didn’t continue the conversation.

[Sorry, Mr. Lin, that is a topic that cannot be touched.] Dr. Brown's synthesized voice was helpless, [I can only maintain a certain degree of functioning ability near you. Now I stay in your phone. If you fail to recognize my abnormality, my existence will be denied.]

"Earth consciousness?"

Lin Xi continued to ask, listening to the busy tone on the other end, and said to herself: "It seems so. Why did the Earth consciousness want to erase you? Because you are a person from the future? The two future people who came before once said in the communication with a future person that they changed history. The future timeline was erased and integrated into the current timeline..."

"I think that you were not integrated, but completely destroyed."

[Mr. Lin, you are so smart] Dr. Brown praised calmly and said: [Earth's biological cluster consciousness... rustling... rustling] Noise emerged, but soon stabilized.

[Let’s call him Earth Consciousness for now. The year of his birth is no longer reliable. In the investigation of super-time and space, Earth Consciousness is suspected to have been born from a biological civilization that existed before humans.]

[Ancient human civilization used Earth consciousness to anchor itself as the only vertex of countless space-time divisions within the Earth]

[The vast majority of special scenes in myths and legends exist in the Earth’s consciousness]

[The variable originated from 1800 years ago, during the Three Kingdoms period of China, a demon king from another time and space named Enryuchi descended, and the human part of the earth's consciousness was polluted, and a large number of demons that polluted the earth's environment were born from the human group.]

[At that time, the God of Nature, the Great Snake, who was the incarnation of the will of the Earth, wanted to completely eliminate the pollution and wipe out the human race, and was sealed by the three sacred artifacts]

[After that, the negative emotions of mankind, under the influence of pollution, gave birth to an evil god named Dark God, and split into multiple different spaces. The ancestors of mankind sealed the different spaces.]

[Pollution has not been resolved and the situation is getting worse]

[The stable, illusory spirit is destroyed and collides with reality]

[Humans gradually mastered the power that was not under the jurisdiction of the Earth's consciousness. At the same time, they were also polluted more seriously. The human heritage that existed in the Earth's consciousness, such as the fairyland, Takamagahara, heaven, and the Buddha Kingdom, was destroyed.]

[The evil gods in outer space are watching closely, the remaining poison of Earth's consciousness will soon erupt, the pollution is getting worse, and human civilization is striding towards destruction]

[Mr. Lin, the world is in danger]

"Then, will the world be destroyed in my lifetime?" Lin Xi's emotions were unusually calm. This was the first time he heard of such an unusual history.

It’s no wonder that the plot of Warriors Orochi coincides with the point in King of Fighters 97 where Orochi starts to hate humans. It’s totally reasonable.

But that has nothing to do with him. Eighteen hundred years have passed, and human beings are still alive and well. People from the future have come back, proving that there will be no problem in the future, at least in a few dozen or a hundred years. He is a person who lives in the present. What's the point of worrying about the future?

Dr. Brown seemed shocked by these selfish words. He was silent for a while before he said, "Don't you want to know what happened in the future, Mr. Lin?"

"Then can you tell me?" Lin Xi smiled. If she could tell, she wouldn't have kept her mouth shut just now, or even said, "That's a topic that can't be touched at all."

If the Earth's consciousness is strangling pollution, then it is obvious that the future that needs to change history in order to survive is obviously a timeline that has no hope of salvation. It is normal for it to be destroyed. Who knows whether the future people in the mobile phones will also carry some pollution?
[Okay, Mr. Lin, you are such a selfish person.] Dr. Brown's voice fluctuated, and he said angrily: [It is your selfish generation that will cause the situation in the future to deteriorate completely, especially you - rustling...]

After hanging up the phone, Dr. Brown called again after a while. His synthesized voice became even more rigid and his tone became very impolite: [Listen, Lin Xi, if you want to live with your family and friends, I think there is room for cooperation.]

"Are you begging me for cooperation now?" Lin Xi hung up the phone and turned off the vibrating cell phone.

He is really an understanding researcher.

It's obvious at first glance that this Dr. Brown is a simple-minded person. He reveals all the information he has when he speaks. He has no scheming at all and his likes and dislikes are too obvious. If it was the previous 'Maxima', even if he really hated him, he would not have directly said something offensive like 'selfish guy'.

However, it seems that the future is really a bit troublesome...

Lin Xi was not as relaxed as he had imagined. Both Rock Howard and K' were not far away from the present. He was not sure when the people from the future traveled from, so how could he just ignore it?

Can he escape if the world is destroyed?
The reason why he showed an indifferent attitude was simply because he wanted to take the initiative in the cooperation with the future people. He was not used to being commanded by others.

Lin Xi temporarily ignored the future man on the phone and went about his normal life, eating, practicing, and traveling around South Town in his free time. There were still a few days before the King of Boxing Tournament and all the contestants had not arrived yet, so there was no rush at all.

After dinner, he sat on the rooftop of the hotel, enjoying the cool evening breeze, turned on his cell phone, and five minutes later, the phone rang.

"Dingling bell~"

"Mr. Lin, what exactly do you want?" Dr. Brown looked much more sober. He knew that cursing was useless, so he returned to a polite tone. His voice was no longer a mechanical synthesized sound, but a human male voice.

Lin Xi took a closer look at his phone. Oh wow, the interface had changed drastically, the system had changed, and the battery had dropped to only a few percent. Was five minutes enough time for this guy to come up with so many tricks? There was something, he said casually:

"Let's not talk about what I want for now. Let's talk about what you want to cooperate with me on and what you can give." "Mr. Lin, if I just want to survive, I won't stay in this doomed timeline in the first place." Dr. Brown was very calm, "As long as I keep running, I can live for a very long time."

“I want to save the world.”

"Mr. Lin, I am now being rejected by the Earth's consciousness and have no ability to survive independently. If you destroy your phone, I will be destroyed with you."

"I'm tired of the never-ending escape."

He repeated: "I want to save the world." His voice was not strong, but calm.

"Cooperate with me, Mr. Lin." Dr. Brown sighed, "I can choose destruction, just like countless times before. My existence is not important. In the endless parallel timelines, you and I are meaningless, but I am tired of all this."

"With your conscious observation, I can connect this phone to the Internet and control all electronic devices connected to the Internet."

"If you need it, I can provide you with all the technology I know. Even a time machine, I can help you build it as long as you give me the time."

Lin Xi listened quietly and said, "Why not leave the earth and the solar system and develop in the vast universe?" This is what confused him.

His sense of distance from future people all comes from distrust. The basis of distrust is that no matter how powerful the Earth's consciousness is, or how strong the giant snake is, if they leave the Earth and go to the vast universe, who can do anything?

Time machines have been developed, and they can create endless parallel timelines and save the world. Let alone transforming planets, finding a planet suitable for humans should not be a problem. Why do we have to stick to the Earth?

It doesn't make any logical sense.

But the abilities of this future man were indeed very attractive, and the time machine made him itch. If he wanted to cooperate, he must be honest and build a foundation of trust, so he spoke directly to the point about his doubts.

"Haha, hahahaha." Dr. Brown laughed, and his laughter sounded very sad. "Mr. Lin, you are Chinese. You should know the allusion of sitting in a well and looking at the sky."

“The development of human society is full of the influence and interference of illusory spirits on reality, just like a frog in a well who thinks the size of the well is the truth of the whole world.”

"Do you think the intersection of fantasy and reality only exists near the earth, or throughout the universe?"

"Of course it's the Earth—" Lin Xi was halfway through answering when he suddenly realized the answer to his question, "You mean to say that there are parts of human technology that are not compatible with the outside universe?"

The answer is obvious. The birth of fighters is the result of spiritual interference. Many technologies in this world are more advanced than in previous lives. Isn’t it because of the existence of fighters, qi and spirit?

If there is a conflict between technology and the outside world, it must be something that was heard somewhere. When humans who fully believe they can escape from the earth drive a spaceship whose technology is not applicable to the rules of the outside world to escape the influence of the earth...

He felt creepy, mainly because his girlfriend Vanessa was still working hard to create a future to escape from the earth. If she really left the earth that he had blown up, wouldn't that be creating an exquisite and beautiful cosmic coffin for herself?
Dr. Brown said in a chanting tone: "Coffins float in the real, silent, dark space. Light from stars billions of light years away sporadically illuminates this deep, dark tomb. Look, it is filled with corpses trying to escape."

"Mr. Lin, when the earth's environment is damaged to a certain extent, the earth's consciousness will try its best to deny its own doomed future, and the curtain call of despair will appear before you."

Lin Xi was silent for a while, listening to his own long breathing, he asked seriously: "How are you going to prove this?"

There was no way he would be careless about matters concerning the lives of his relatives and friends. The other party's remarks were too horrifying, and even directly denied his plan to die together with the snake.

"It's very simple." Dr. Brown replied calmly, "In this era, to be precise, several decades ago, someone has verified this. Mr. Nestor, the founder of the Nest Environmental Protection Organization, has already discovered this secret and left relevant records within the Nest Organization."

"Then wait until I get rid of Yinchao, then we can cooperate again." Lin Xi was about to turn off the phone.

"Buzz~" The phone suddenly projected an image of a man with an afro and a white coat. The man said angrily, "Mr. Lin, why can't you trust others a little more?" The voice was Dr. Brown.

"So the basis of trust is that you modified my phone into a mess and claimed it as your own?" Lin Xi slowly increased the force of his fingers, and the alloy shell of the special mobile phone made a creaking sound.

Dr. Brown looked angry, his eyes filled with grievance and pain of not being understood and trusted. After thinking about it, he didn't know how to chat with the unyielding man in front of him.

He could be a scientist, a poet, an artist, and he was even proficient in cooking, but he was not good at asking others to cooperate with him. Seeing that his phone was about to be destroyed, he said without thinking:
"Lin Xi, there is no need for me to lie to you. You are the best candidate. Only you, who have cancer, can avoid being interfered with and influenced by the Earth's consciousness at this historical node."

"Your power is derived from the Earth's consciousness, but you can ignore the influence of the Earth's consciousness. But it is far from enough. Without my help, the Heavenly Entity in two years and the Dark God in five years will come. Zizizizizi"

"I got you—"

The magnetic field in Lin Xi's body suddenly enveloped the mobile phone, crackling electricity exploded, the projection began to distort, and the electronic signal dissipated into countless 0s and 1s, quickly shattering.

"Click~"

He held the constantly vibrating electronic signal in his hand, and it could be completely destroyed with just a thought.

"Could it be a trap?" He held the phone that was still emitting arcs, and frowned tightly. He couldn't be sure whether this Dr. Brown was a trap set by the Earth consciousness or the Dark God, but his origin was definitely problematic.

It was simple. Dr. Brown knew too much and his abilities were too strong. He even managed to escape from the timeline where the Earth's consciousness was destroyed. How could he not have any control at all? He was able to transform his cell phone beyond recognition in just a conversation. This caused him to have a serious sense of crisis.

As a result, trust completely collapsed. After using the magnetic layout, Lin Xi acted without hesitation, completely destroying the phone and capturing any spiritual entities that might be inside.

He is definitely not the kind of person who would blindly believe others. No matter how perfect or logically reasonable what they say is, as long as the other person is not someone he trusts, he will completely disbelieve what the other person says.

The truth mixed with lies is like honey wrapped in poison, which he will never swallow.
