Life Copy Game

The purple figure tried to break free, but felt as if his body was stuck by a huge force and he couldn't move at all.

He tried to mobilize the power of the crazy 'deep sea' around him, but the tranquil deep sea quickly began to surge with undercurrents, and then in the next moment, it was suppressed by an even more powerful force.

The purple figure lowered his head, his body trembling, like the shaking picture in some old-fashioned TV. The hoarse voice echoed in this deep sea, "You maintained your humanity? Why? Those anchors of fate are not enough to maintain your sanity."

The doubt in his tone became more and more serious. "I have weakened all the fate connections that could serve as anchors for you, erased those 'friends' you cared about, and tried my best to weaken your memory. Why can you still maintain your humanity?"

"Yeah," He Ao behind him sighed softly, "Why?"

Their individual lines may be very fragile, but when gathered together, they become ropes in the storm.

These ropes connect Howe's soul and will, as well as his memories.

And these combined together constitute his "humanity".

These memories and destinies are his 'anchor points', allowing him to maintain the 'anchor' of himself and humanity under the impact of mythical power and endless madness.

In fact, He Ao had made relevant speculations about these a long time ago.

When he saw the angels who maintained their human form in the copy world, he wondered how these angels maintained their human form.

This question didn't particularly bother him though, because he had never experienced it, so he couldn't understand how important it was.

This is an "information gap" that all high-level people who have experienced it know, but ordinary people who do not have the need to be promoted to high positions cannot realize.

After all, according to He Ao's previous experience of promotion, as long as he takes the secret medicine smoothly and completes the ceremony, the promotion will be completed.

This is his inertia of thinking, and it is also what the spinning wheel of fate has been "using".

Listening to He Ao's words, the purple figure trembled slightly again. His voice, which seemed to echo in his mind, was filled with disbelief.

"You must have used some special means. It is impossible for you to maintain your humanity under the impact of this mythical power. I have been influencing you since you first came here. Over such a long period of time, with so many arrangements, I have erased your friends, your companions, and your destiny bit by bit. There is absolutely no way there will be any problems. You are dying, you should be dying soon!"

Howe didn't know the importance of the 'anchor point', but 005 knew, and 005 was very clear that Howe didn't know.

Therefore, 005 has been subtly "weakening" or "erasing" those he values, weakening his anchor.

Under the gaze of the 'Eye of Truth', he did not dare to directly modify He Ao's memory and destiny.

However, Howe did not have the Eye of Truth from the beginning.

From the first time Howe came to the ruins and entered the tower, and was involved with 8753 and Jonati who were disturbed by him, he actually had a fateful connection with this young man.

And the connection of fate sometimes means a mysterious connection.

Although He Ao knew nothing at that time and his connection with He Ao's mysticism was very weak, it did not affect his ability to change He Ao's memory a little bit.

Without He Ao noticing, the name 'Liu Nan' had not appeared in his memory for a long time.

The neighbors and friends he remembered had not appeared in his memory for a long time.

Zhang Anxia, ​​who once helped He Ao in Xidu, has gradually become an acquaintance.

And with the cooperation of the 'Tuner' this time, he borrowed the power of the tuner step by step, and further 'modified' He Ao's memory by modifying the memories of Liu Zhengyun, Yang De, Wu Lan and others, weakening He Ao's connection with these people.

Just like this, he patiently erased or weakened little by little all the people in this world that He Ao might care about.

The only thing he didn't make a big deal about was the deceased old man who played an important role in He Ao's deep consciousness.

But what can a single memory affect? ​​No matter how strong a thin thread is, it cannot anchor a complete human nature.

While he was doing these things, he was also forcing He Ao to come to the ruins by causing chaos through the modification of the main world's memory.

When He Ao was not ready for anything, he forcibly merged into He Ao's body and forcibly "promoted".

Because he also knew very well that once He Ao was given sufficient time to prepare, he would most likely be aware of the changes he had made, so he wanted to attack by surprise.

Even if the "problems" of Liu Zhengyun and Wu Ganglie were exposed, they were partly guided by him deliberately, just to let He Ao find out that he was influencing all this.

Under such circumstances, He Ao would come here and try to forcibly accommodate him or forcibly promote him.

Then he will obtain a body that may hide a big secret and escape the seal.

Although Liu Zhengyun's loss of control was somewhat beyond his "plan", the overall outcome still returned to the path he had set.

The tuner is using him to locate the main world, and he is also using the tuner to complete his layout.

He never trusted the tuner, and his target was always Howe.

He had already thoughtfully prepared this "dead end" for He Ao.

So he was not afraid of Howe completing the ritual from the beginning, because even if Howe completed the ritual, the final result was already determined.

On the contrary, he preferred to see the despair of He Ao trying his best to complete the ritual, but ultimately being unable to change the outcome.

On this road, He Ao has only a dead end.

He Ao seems to have a choice, but in fact he has no choice at all, and he has no choice from the beginning.

He enjoyed this feeling, controlling the fate and future of mortals, watching them being forced to walk the path he had planned, and then facing death and destruction.

It was supposed to be like this.

Feel the surging power in the deep sea and feel one's own suppressed will.

He Ao might be able to use his rationality to deceive him, but this kind of power that can be mobilized will not deceive people.

This proves that Howo really maintained his humanity under the impact of this deep-sea power, and began to control this power to a certain extent.

"So, you noticed it?" The purple figure's incredulous voice still echoed in the deep sea. "But even if you noticed it, it wouldn't change anything! Your memory hasn't been restored. Those simple connections of fate can't anchor your humanity at all."

"yes."

He Ao did not answer the purple figure's words. He just stared at the blurry phantom in his vision. The overlapping faces gradually became clear in his sight.

That's Selina, that's Icari, that's Garci... that's Christos, that's Roger... that's Ander, that's Brigitte...

Every figure there is a memory, a story, and a life.

That was what he experienced in the other world, and it was his 'anchor'.

These dense connections formed ropes that held his will in the face of the violent impact of the deep sea, allowing him to have an "anchor point" to dock in the deep sea and constantly retrieve the "fragments of self" that had been scattered and washed away by the deep sea.

He Ao was actually aware of the changes in his memory. Liu Zhengyun's loss of control made him meet Liu Nan again, and through his previous notes, he realized that he had had intersections with Liu Nan.

He realized then that some people might have been erased from his 'memory'.

But at that time, the main world was full of people whose memories had been altered, so he couldn't be sure whether such "erasure" was a "favor" for him or simply an indiscriminate layout by 005.

Until he followed Li Cheng into the 195 Institute and entered the consciousness space of the King Angel.

There, he realized that there was most likely an 'invisible threshold' in the angels' promotion process.

A 'threshold' that is enough to determine whether a promotion is truly successful, a threshold that determines the boundary between madness and sanity.

For a long time, he was thinking about what the King Angel didn't 'tell' him, what it was, and how to solve the real 'threshold'.

Later, he realized that the King Angel had actually told him the 'answer' from the beginning.

All the memories of the King Angel regarding 'promotion', 'quarrels' and 'meetings' that he had experienced before were actually the 'answers'.

During the promotion process, the way to resist the pollution from the talent sequence itself is to be "involved in the world".

Only by fixing your 'past' can you gain the 'future'.

At that moment, He Ao also thought of the "angels" who stayed in the cities in the copy world. Although those angels did not interfere with the situation in the city most of the time, they had some deep connection with the city.

He couldn't be completely sure of his guess, but he didn't need to be sure of his guess. He just needed to make arrangements according to the situation.

The situation he faced at that time could not have been worse.

In fact, he had already realized that he was being "arranged" to a dead end, and a dead end with no choice.

But there is no real desperate situation in this world.

During that process, he looked back on his own memories and found that his "involvement" with the main world did not seem to be that "much".

He doesn't have that many friends, nor does he have that many people he can trust, and he seems to be lonely all the time.

But too many of his memories have been modified, and he can't be sure whether his "loneliness" is what he has always been like, or has undergone some kind of "modification".

But he found that he had quite a lot of "friends" in the copy world.

Although his memories of the copy world would fade and hide in the corner of his memory every time he came back from the copy world, he could still recall it if he wanted to.

However, he didn't know whether 005 could spy on his memories in the copy world.

So when he pushed open the door and faced 005, he used the Eye of Truth to "protect" part of his memory.

Those memories about the Fate-Trapping Disc were both his preparation to control 005 and a test for 005.

The final result is that 005 is not truly omniscient, and even with the intervention of angelic power, he cannot see all of Howe's memories.

Then, it is very likely that 005 cannot see the memories hidden by the system.

After all, if he really wanted to delete memories, why wouldn't he delete the memories in those copies?

At that time, he was actually prepared in his heart.

However, in fact, if Howe had not noticed this 'anchor point', 005's layout might actually have been successful.

Because what the system hides is not only the memories from the copy world, but also the fate connection from the copy world.

Those fateful connections will not reveal themselves on their own.

This helped He Ao to cut off the traceability from the copy world in the past, but it also limited He Ao's ability to use the fate connection of the copy world to anchor his own ideas.

It's like a sharp sword. It's just there, and it won't have any effect if He Ao doesn't pick it up and use it.

Plus, 005 actually influenced Howe's memory until the very end, making him think that he only had those 'connections' to the main world.

If Howo didn't take the initiative to "recall" the memories of those copy worlds in the end, these memories would probably not have any effect.

Even so, each of the 'connections' spreading from these copy worlds is actually much weaker than the connections in the main world. It's just that there are enough of them, and when they come together and combine with the fate connection of the main world, they can stabilize Heo's current sanity in the storm of the deep sea.

If He Ao was promoted in the copy world, these memories and fate connections would undoubtedly be his most stable 'anchor point'.

However, if 005 had not tampered with anything, given his fateful connection with the main world, he might have been able to be "promoted" normally.

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world, and He Ao has no choice.

"Do you still want to 'tease' me? No," At this moment, the purple figure suddenly realized something, he raised his head, "Your words are wrong, your reason and self have not fully recovered."

At this moment, he seemed to recall all the conversations he had just had with He Ao. "Your anchor point is not strong enough. You haven't really mastered the power yet. You are stalling for time to find yourself."

A violent storm suddenly surged up from the deep sea of ​​power, instantly shattering the power that had just suppressed him, breaking free from the arm that was holding his shoulder, "Are you 'cheating me'?!"

As soon as he exerted force just now, he was suppressed by the powerful force. Combined with the methods and secrets displayed by the other party, he thought for a moment that the other party really used special methods to fix human nature.

He suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

The arm that was suppressing him had completely disappeared at this moment, and there was nothing behind him.

"I've been asking you to trick me all the time." Just at this moment, a chuckle came from behind him. "When I really tricked you, you didn't want to do it again."

At this moment, the quiet and dark "deep sea" collapsed instantly in the purple figure's sight and turned into a ruin covered with light.

The gentle-looking young man stood in the ruins, looking at him with a smile, "Thank you for giving me your time. Welcome to my kingdom of consciousness, little mouse."
