Durin's Diary

Chapter 414 Trembling
Du Lin instinctively felt sad. Although the brain in front of him was originally a criminal, and perhaps he committed heinous crimes and deserved to die, he had already died once when his brain was taken out.

Fate had already dealt him the most severe punishment, and the deadline was far beyond his imagination, so long that even he himself had forgotten its name.

His body was abandoned and his name was forgotten. From that day until today, he has only one name: Prisoner 24890118042833.

"Tell me, prisoner, what is your mission." Eleven had no choice but to decide to use his authority after consulting Du Lin.

"Look after Warehouse No. 111 and record the time and order of death of all prototypes." The brain gave Du Lin an answer that was not surprising.

Durin turned to look at the Dusk Knight: "My lord, they are all prisoners. They have been trapped here for a thousand years. Give them freedom."

"...No matter how evil a person is, after a thousand years of loneliness, they should have redeemed their sins. Give them freedom, Durin." The Dusk Knight nodded, and Durin looked at Eleven.

The latter began to issue orders: "Begin exporting data and destroy all remaining prototype brains. This imprisonment has come to an end. I will give you freedom."

Electric waves swirled across the folds of his brain for a moment. "The purification order has been issued. Respected Administrator No. 11 and Supervisor Zhulong, what about me?"

"Do you want to live?" Du Lin asked.

"What is life?" the brain asked.

This was his instinctive question, but it broke through Du Lin's defense.

Yes, what is alive is really a fatal problem for a wetware like him.

"I don't think he's alive." The Dusk Knight sighed.

"Yeah, I think so too." After saying that, Du Lin looked at Eleven and said, "Tell me about it."

"Of course he is alive, but living like this is no different from being dead. Lord Durin, you make the choice."

Eleven returned the choice to Du Lin.

And Du Lin thought about it, and finally looked at the brain: "Prisoner..." "Prisoner 24890118042833, Inspector Zhulong, do you have any instructions?"

"What does eternal sleep mean to you?"

"Eternal sleep means I will be relieved of my duties and responsibilities...Keywords detected, recording generated and playing."

The next second, the entire hall disappeared.

"This is virtual projection technology. We are still where we are." Eleven comforted.

Durin nodded, then he and the Dusk Knight looked at the 'person' who appeared.

"I'm Professor Hamdi Stern, one of the leaders of the EU Summit Project. I'm leaving this record because Director Sun of the Nuwa Project in southern Thailand told me that there's a problem with our small space. To avoid a catastrophic event, I left this message for Eddie. If you see this, it means we've all failed. I wasn't able to return to complete the recovery of the expired data in the warehouse..."

At this point, the white-haired old professor sighed, "Then, who knows who this person is, please give Eddie a free death. If he still remembers and can work normally, then my theory is correct. We can eliminate the acquired personality in the brain and create a brand new one... Unfortunately, we have failed. The code to end Eddie's activities is that you are free. Rest in peace... Good night, sweet dreams."

The record disappeared, and the brain, the glass cover, and everything returned.

Durin looked at the Dusk Knight and nodded. "Fate is fair. The criminal was punished, judged, and ultimately received a death called redemption. Do it, Durin." "Okay," Durin replied, then turned to look at the brain. "Eddie."

"…Eddie is here, Inspector Zhulong. You are truly remarkable. You actually know my name. I had almost forgotten it."

"You are free now, rest in peace." Du Lin said in a comforting tone.

His brain trembled for a moment, and finally, his relieved voice came through the loudspeaker: "Finally, my suffering has come to an end. Toxins are being added to the nutrient solution... Thank you, unknown Inspector Zhulong, you have freed me."

"I'm Dulin... Good night, and have a sweet dream."

"There will be..."

The brain stopped moving, and the last thing that came through the loudspeaker was a sobbing voice calling for his mother.

But the crying eventually died down.

Durin sighed silently, "Sir Dusk Knight, it's all over. The witcher who discovered this refuge can get a large sum of money from the Circle."

"I'll tell them to get it." At this point, the Dusk Knight sighed and said, "I wanted to pardon this poor man, but you said he was a criminal. I can't forgive a sinner. Fortunately, you were there, and in the end, he was freed."

"Yes, he has been liberated. May death take away his long-lasting pain." Du Lin said with a sigh.

After leaving the shelter, Du Lin looked at the Milky Way in the sky and asked, "Where is this place?"

"To the east, near the eastern border of the Great Woodland. The night in this area arrives about two hours earlier than in Lublin." Having said this, the Dusk Knight opened the teleportation channel. "Go inside, and you'll be home. Thank you, child. You've allowed me to see a different Durin than what mortals talk about."

"I just prefer to be realistic." After saying that, Du Lin saluted the god and walked into the transmission channel.

The next second, Du Lin appeared in the workshop yard under the falling night and stretched out his hand.

Eleven crawled out from his palm.

"What else have your European Union and North America done?"

"Using wetware and enslaving demihumans, they committed so many evil deeds that I felt at the time that even remembering all that wouldn't prevent them from being hanged by the rebellious demihumans. However, they had another plan that I didn't understand."

"What plan?" Du Lin asked curiously.

"The benchmark is the plan of Director Sun Guanzhi in southern Thailand. We in the Ceris core are not aware of this plan. EU scientists are completely prohibited from mentioning this plan to our Ceris core." Eleven said.

"Director Sun's code name is Nuwa, and her plan is for Nuwa to create humans... Are they really planning to create gods?" Du Lin was a little surprised - how can you think of creating gods when you can't even control yourself.

But in Du Lin's opinion, there is a certain possibility that they really did so - you see, in Director Sun's records, they had already been put into life-support coffins early on, so in this case, whether any of them are still alive has become a big problem.

...A question that made Du Lin tremble.
