Creating a zombie in a mountain village terrifies players worldwide.

Chapter 85 The Only Way to Prevent Human Extinction (Two Chapters)
[According to the investigation, MiSide is not from our world. It appeared a year ago from S-1437 'Otherworldly Abyss' along with a mobile phone, and it's a game on that phone.]
[Along with it appeared a world map labeled in an unknown language; the language on the phone was the same as the map. After initial deciphering, we discovered that the name "America" ​​on the map had changed to "United States," "China" to "China," and "Blue Planet" to "Earth." Further translation work proved extremely difficult and had to be temporarily suspended.]
[Therefore, based on speculation, we have reason to strongly suspect that the civilization in that parallel world called 'Earth' may have already experienced an XK-level apocalypse, and the control agency there probably failed to prevent the crisis.]
[The spread mechanism of *MiSide* is completely beyond our understanding, making containment extremely difficult and utterly impossible to stop.]
[Therefore, the core purpose of the 'Salvation Plan' is to have me, that is, you now, actively enter the world of 'MiSide' to investigate from within why humanity was pulled in, and to attempt to stop this process.]
[However, through the contents of Alan Wake's manuscripts, we discovered a very serious, even perplexing, problem.]
[That means that after entering the virtual world, I, or rather you, will proactively help your personal Mita by assisting her in attacking those players!]
boom--!
This information was like a cannonball, instantly causing an uproar in the live stream!

The players' mouths gaped open in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.

WTF?

That prophetic manuscript actually says that the protagonist will actively help Crazy Mita fight against other players?!
What the heck?!

why?
Was the protagonist brainwashed and controlled by Crazy Meta? Or did the players do something?
It’s unimaginable!
That guy was a ruthless killer; the players' corpses were piled up into a small mountain.

Calling her a serial killer wouldn't be an exaggeration. No matter how beautiful she is, anyone with a decent moral compass wouldn't help her fight against humans, right?
The viewers in the live stream were immediately overwhelmed and couldn't process what was happening.

The plot twists and turns repeatedly.

First, the protagonist's identity is unusual, then he transforms into a savior, and then everything seems to be a plan between the protagonist and the control bureau.

Now you're telling me that the protagonist, who was supposed to save the world, went off to attack humanity with Crazy Meeta.

You call this a savior?
Good grief, so saving the world starts with killing your own people, huh?
"Wait, this is too much information! My CPU is overheating!"

"Isn't the protagonist supposed to be a savior? Why is he helping that crazy Mita? Are all the players bad guys?"

"Could it be that the protagonist has turned evil?"

The viewers in the live stream were immediately intrigued by the storyline.

The story is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that this game was actually a product of a parallel world."

"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've played a game with a parallel world setting."

"The names of the countries in this parallel world are quite interesting. America is simply called the United States, isn't that too lazy? And why is China called China? Was the character '中' chosen randomly or is there some foreshadowing?"

"No, why is the blue planet in the parallel world called Earth? All eight planets in the solar system have the word 'star' in their names, including our blue planet. But the production team changed it to Earth. Doesn't that seem abrupt? And I don't see any connection to the earth."

"It's just a name, why are you getting so worked up about this? Am I the only one curious about this 'deep hole' thing? Does the Control Bureau have something like this that can travel between parallel worlds? I suddenly feel like this organization's power has far exceeded my comprehension."

"Yeah, I think so too. They said the Control Bureau could restart human civilization, which I thought was ridiculous. Now they're saying they have a deep hole connecting parallel worlds. Goodness, no wonder people are afraid. I don't even want to think about what will happen next."

"I used to think Mukov was awesome, using ghosts for experiments, but now the more the Control Bureau shows its strength, the more Mukov looks like trash."

Players were discussing it animatedly in the live stream.

The audio continues to play, still the protagonist's own voice.

But what follows still exceeded everyone's expectations.

[The exact reason why my future self would attack those human players is currently unknown.]
[The manuscript also mentions that I would repeatedly use the save/load ability to try 42 different development paths.]
[But regardless of which path they took, all ended in failure, and the real world still could not escape destruction.]
[The manuscript foreshadowed all the actions I would attempt, even new plans I conceived after reading it. A line in the manuscript stated: "Even though Dr. Jamin Walker knew 42 different possible outcomes, he still couldn't prevent the predetermined ending, and it even led to 43, 44, or even 45 possible failures."]
Therefore, after confirming that I would fail no matter what I did, I tried saving the game and then entering the virtual world to see why, but Director Faden stopped me. This project desperately needed my abilities; the situation was of utmost importance, and I couldn't rashly enter the virtual world just to prove something.
[Finally, I had to seek help from the K-1000 'Bigfoot,' and based on my previous understanding of it, it finally gave me an answer after three days.]
['When the unknown becomes known, when the result is determined, then the process is merely a form.']
[I immediately understood its meaning: because I knew the entire outcome beforehand, no matter what I did afterward, the ending wouldn't change; all attempts to alter the future would be futile.]
The destruction of humanity in *MiSide* is an inevitable, fixed point in time.
[unless]
Unless what?
The whimpering monster couldn't wait to continue listening.

She really wanted to know: since the extinction of humanity by the game was an unchangeable, predetermined event, then why enter the game at all?
Isn't this all in vain?
Yingyingguai has also read a lot of science fiction works and knows what fixed time means.

Generally speaking, it refers to key events on the timeline that cannot be changed, such as the end of World War I and the defeat of Germany.

It was because it lost that the subsequent world order was established.

But what if someone changed this fixed time, allowing Germany to win World War I?

What the world order will look like after that is unclear.

Since the extinction of humanity is an unchangeable fact, she is very curious about how to save the world.
Just then, the male voice in the audio rang out again.

But what he said next left her speechless.

[Unless, a parallel world is created.]
WTF! ?
Everyone was dumbfounded.

The protagonist wants to create a parallel world where humanity hasn't gone extinct.
No, is the protagonist some kind of supernatural being? Is this even possible?
Didn't the previous manuscript predict that all 42 possible developments for the protagonist would end in failure?

Even if you know the ending in advance, you can't change the outcome.

So why is the protagonist so arrogant?

Or does he really have a method?
Players, their curiosity piqued once again, read on to find out what the protagonist was going to do.

Soon, the audio started playing again.

[I will use a meme to erase all traces of my existence, so that the whole world will not know of my existence, will not recognize me, and will be unable to record me.]
[Then my memories will be erased, I will be completely transformed, becoming someone who is no longer me, but a completely new me, and this new me will know nothing about anything.]
[At that time, the 42 possible developments described in the manuscript will, due to my 'disappearance,' cause all the outcomes that have already occurred to become unknown again, while also being full of infinite possibilities for reversal.]
[And I, a completely new person, needed a direction and a goal, so Director Faden and I recorded this audio.]
[Once you understand your responsibilities, everything that follows will be "unknown," no longer "predictable" by the manuscript.]
Use your abilities to create a parallel timeline where humanity can survive.
[Humanity depends on you, savior, D-9341.]
The audio ended, but the game's protagonist's method left everyone in the live stream utterly astonished.

They weren't stupid; they quickly figured out the logic behind it.

Simply put, it's two timelines.

The original first timeline was based on the manuscript's prediction of the protagonist's actions in the game, ultimately leading to the extinction of humanity.

But the protagonist simply used that meme to erase his own existence, meaning the original timeline no longer had a "key figure" responsible for driving the plot. Since the protagonist is gone, the first timeline naturally becomes unusable.

Thus, a second timeline was created, a parallel world, where even the manuscript was unknown, and the key character who drove the plot became a complete novice who knew nothing.

On this path, what was originally a predetermined ending becomes uncertain, transforming from an unchangeable dead end into a possibility.

Goodness, this is way too conceptual!

What's the difference between this protagonist's behavior and committing suicide to start over?

That’s awesome.

The manuscript is currently in a state of 'unable to locate enemies,' so we'll see how the protagonist manages to save the world later in the game.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is this meme? Could it get any more outrageous? It can cause cardiac arrest and erase a person's existence,"

"It's like there's nothing the Control Bureau can't do. They even came up with this method of creating parallel worlds to address the extinction of humanity. I have to admire their imagination."

As the whining monster was speaking, two notifications suddenly popped up in front of her.

You possess a powerful and unknown ability to load and save game files. Additionally, you have the ability to save your game at any time and place, marking the time and location.

To others, your ability is merely a remarkably keen sixth sense. Use it wisely to change your impending death!

Upon seeing this, Yingyingguai paused for a moment.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, there wasn't a manual save function before."

"Is it that you have to play this far to unlock it?"

"Wow, O5 really has a brilliant idea to be able to rationally integrate the save and load mechanics commonly found in games into the storyline and world view!"

"Yingying Monster" exclaimed in admiration. At that moment, the dialog box popped up again.

There was only one option left, so she chose it.

The protagonist immediately spoke.

[What should we do next?]
Upon hearing this, Mita, with her long hair, immediately grabbed the protagonist's hand after a quick calculation.

She visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing a ring on it.

We must stop Mita's murderous acts, but she is dangerous, and ordinary methods certainly won't work.
However, there might be a way.
Main character: [What method?]
Mita raised her head slightly and stared at the players with her beautiful eyes.

[We need to reach the 'core,' which controls all the Mitas. Once we find the code for that particular Mita, we can shut her down directly at the core.]
[However, Mita cannot enter the core room; only players can, because players are not Mita.]
[You are our savior. I believe that with your help, we will surely succeed!]
Upon seeing this, Yingyingguai looked enlightened.

"A core room that only players can enter?"

"To be honest, it makes a lot of sense. Now we players have no choice but to go in order to save the world."

At this moment, Mita's face darkened.

She frowned.

However, due to the monster invasion, the core room is now sealed off, and we need to find six access keys to open it.
[Those keys are all in the hands of the GMs in different versions; we need to find them.]
"Various versions of GM?"

"Here it comes, the classic key-collecting game begins."

Just as the whiny girl was complaining, the game's protagonist spoke up.

[What versions of GM are available?]
Long-haired Mita nodded and continued.

[Yes, they are all the first Mita after each version update, and are generally used as testers to check the stability of the current version.]
Therefore, they don't have dedicated players. If you ask them for permissions, you might be forced to stay and not be allowed to leave, which is exactly what I'm worried about.
[However, I know one really cool Mita who wears a really cool hat, so I just call her 'Hat'.]
[If you can make her happy, she might grant you the necessary permissions.]
"hat?"

"I understand. Six keys, each corresponding to one of the six different Mitas, right?"

"She used to have pigtails, now she has long hair, there's a braid in the gameplay demo, and she'll be wearing a hat soon. With so many Mita, is there enough hair to go around?"

As they were talking, long-haired Mita sighed again.

She went to the bedroom door, grabbed the handle, and pulled it open.

What was originally a girl's bedroom has been transformed into a grid scene without any textures.

Inside, there are more than ten doors.

"I can't breathe," said Mita, pointing to the door.

[Because of the intrusion, the scenarios between versions have become very unstable, so I can't take you there directly.]
[But you have the developer's ring. With it on, you can find those Mitas by entering any door.]
[But be careful, besides the six Mitas, these doors could also lead you to dangerous places.]
[If you go to a very dark Mita's hut and see a person who calls herself Mita but is wearing a white dress, run away as fast as you can. This Mita is terrifying.]
I went to the countryside today and got back a little late.
