This time I chose Paladin

——Even a host without wisdom or knowledge must have a clear vision when weighing the pros and cons.

"Very good." Nie Weiyang's voice slowed down slightly. He held the sword at his waist with one hand and strode towards the server room. "I hope you can prove your purity, C3510. Answer me, is the security system currently online?"

This two-handed sword, his current main weapon, has a message marked on it: [Use with the [CSSS Staff Series Identity Certificate] item to trigger a new plot].

Now, he has the proof of identity in his hands, and it even serves as a dual work permit for both a security system worker and a shelter administrator.

He wanted to see what new plot this would trigger!

I will do my best to become a perfect attendance rabbit (

Chapter 84 Never Back Off!

Three hours later, Nie Weiyang sat in front of a familiar-looking operating terminal, bathed in a cold yet scorching blue light, his face not looking very good.

In front of him, dozens of file windows stacked up like a mess of documents. The title bars of the top few read:

"The flames of war are blocked outside, we are safe, temporarily"—this article describes a physical war from the stars, the damage it brought was blocked by the planet's barrier. This made Nie Weiyang think of the damaged planetary barrier, the high temperature outside the planetary barrier, the terrain editor's out-of-control, and the abnormally high and low temperatures on the planet's home planet in the future.

He was a little curious about the current status of the 'Blood Moon' outside the planet's barrier, bathed in high temperatures and war.

"Migration and Migration: Where is the Future of Civilization?"—a discussion of the migration of civilizations, but filled with complaints. Of course, Nie Weiyang had long known that the New World wasn't the home planet of the previous civilization. The race also known as "Homo sapiens" and "humans" came from another planet in the same star system, and their home planet had long been destroyed.

Uninvited Guests from the Sky: The Anomalous Tolianja, Once Called 'Demons' by Their Homeworld—Tolianja, the name of the "Sky-Driving Demons." Could it be that their homeworld, long since destroyed by the previous civilization, had left their traces? The history of the Sky-Driving Demons' conflict with "Homo Sapiens" was perhaps even longer than he had known in his previous life.

Artificial empathy technology has been applied to combat semantic drift - Boundary Wars. I don't know what the hell is causing this.

"Hope is disconnected, glory has fallen, where is the dawn?" - Space Station.

……

space station.

As early as in the introduction of the terrain editor, Nie Weiyang knew the names of the space stations of the three previous civilizations: Hope, Glory, and Dawn.

Yes, there are three such huge structures that are home to at least one billion people, and all of them have lost connection with any of the planet's native systems.

If Nie Weiyang wants to ensure that more people survive, he needs to restart all the shelters and CSSS system anchors, clear the erosion from the boundary war inside the planet's barrier, and eliminate the boss of non-intelligent man-made objects in order to regain control of the planet called 'T6'.

The long list of suggested shelter links made him feel a little numb just looking at it.

Nie Weiyang opened the last article again. It was a news report with the subtitle "The legendary lighthouse of the sea of ​​stars of Homo sapiens has gone out."

The author and date information are filled in: [■■■■■■■ News Agency - reporter Ross, reported on ■■■■, ■■ month, ■■ day, ■■■ year].

With the loss of connection to the Glory Space Station, the three most magnificent deep space outposts in the history of Homo sapiens—Hope, Glory, and Dawn Space Stations, known as "beacons of civilization"—have successively fallen silent or been destroyed. With the death of Glory, the chapter of space exploration in human history has come to a heartbreaking end...

■■■ years ago, as part of the Artificial Empathy Project, the Hope Space Station proactively disconnected from the planet's home planet, turning our compatriots into visible, unfamiliar artificial celestial bodies. Only when it returned to the T6 public orbit once a year did we realize they were still there.

■■■ years ago, the Dawn Space Station, carrying the hopes of mankind and the spark of civilization, fled this battlefield and disappeared into deep space. We have not received the communication messages sent regularly as planned for ■■■ years.

Now, the Glory Space Station has fallen into the Netherworld...

...]

Ok.

very nice.

It's interesting to be able to access secret knowledge here.

——There’s a space station in the underworld too?!

That space station called Glory, you were just hanging in orbit, how did you get to the Netherworld?!

Nie Weiyang felt a slight headache. He knew that his eyes were a little bloodshot. This was a sign of being exposed to too much high-risk knowledge in a short period of time and had nothing to do with the specific value of his mental strength.

If this information were broadcast, most of the human population would probably be controlled for a long time, and some people's brains might even explode into fireworks.

The dangers of the Return Sect are vividly demonstrated here. Knowledge is power, and this organization, harboring so many secrets, is quick to throw knowledge and overturn the table in a fit of rage. They have indeed broadcast secret knowledge more than once. And they have no shortage of sources of knowledge. The Sky-Transfer Demons have a long history of dealing with Homo sapiens and even possess the technology to erode pre-civilized cities. Their stockpile of secret knowledge is appallingly vast.

Nie Weiyang took a deep breath, closed these information windows, and took a look at the host log interface.

There are indeed a lot of gaps there. Even the arrival of Nie Weiyang himself, the battle in the City Voice, and the information related to Administrator No. 2 were not recorded.

This is very strange. During this night, something was synchronously deleting the log records of the C3510 city host!

Nie Weiyang turned off the operating table and raised his head. His sunglasses reflected a soft stream of ice-blue light. The light was strange and faintly purple when it faded. The luminous body was a complete white crystal, about 25 meters high and more than 6 meters in diameter.

This is a huge crystal of the mind, which is shrouded in several layers of glass cylindrical barriers and sits on a black mechanical platform that looks like an altar or a lathe.

Its light shouldn't have shifted to a bluish-purple hue. The reason for this shift was that at its four corners, four Netherworld crystals, like miniature versions of the Heart Crystal, were bound and functioning in a similar manner. These crystals were connected to the Heart Crystal by a metal structure on the surface. This structure, buried deep underground, continuously transmitted energy and information from the Netherworld.

This is the core of the city's host server. Hundreds of servers surround it like radial lines in all directions.

The operating table where Nie Weiyang was located was right below it.

Now, as he knows more and more, the road ahead that seemed clear at first begins to be shrouded in fog.

This fog comes from the distant history. At first glance, it seems to have no beginning and no end. It surrounds the entire world, shrouding three civilizations: the new, the old, and the invader. It wants to destroy the earthlings who have come from afar with the dangers hidden in the fog, and to set off layers of devastating waves in the new world.

Nie Weiyang knew that the wave had indeed risen... no, it had already risen. Everything that was happening now was just a tiny drop of water on the wave. And everyone in it was just a grain of sand.

A poet once said that the sea has no time to talk to the sand, it is always busy composing the waves.

The universe, nature, war, and times have always been like this.

But, if it has always been like this, do we have to accept it?

Nie Weiyang's eyes fell on the dark screen of the server. He knew that in the previous life, no one had probably opened it normally - even the Sky-crossing Demon could only gain control of the host by erosion, and the mysterious power that synchronously deleted the logs could naturally also synchronously delete the information database in the process.

The end of the article played out in his mind.

As the giant structures bearing the weight of human wisdom and courage gradually vanish into the boundless darkness, what remains is more than nothingness. The silent coordinates in deep space still silently speak of humanity's eternal desire and unyielding will to reach the stars.

We have lost the lighthouse, but the ship still needs to move forward.

Nie Weiyang turned and left.

The Voice of the City, the production office of the CSSS security unit, is naturally the anchor point of the CSSS system.

He also needed to connect to the refuges to truly gain control of the city's voice. He had to travel the land, connecting to Earth's cities and every star left behind by previous civilizations. He understood that he had to weave a network strong enough to support the planet's defenses and withstand future crises...

It is not enough to simply catch up with a destiny for a short time.

Far from enough!

He also had to strangle the enemy by the throat, making the Return Sect spit out all the secrets about the Netherworld and the Sky-crossing Demon. He also had to strangle fate by the throat, and pull out all the better possibilities for the future from them.

It will be a long road, and under the impact of the waves of fate, pioneers will either advance or retreat.

And Nie Weiyang never retreats!

Good! Go and distribute lucky numbers all over the world! (Hey

Chapter 85 Express Bomb

The evening breeze blew Nie Weiyang's hair again, and the black and white hair swayed gently in the wind.

He walked out of the city and saw that C3510 had changed a lot. Now it had turned from a city into a ruin, with prefabricated slabs piled up like a low mountain. The cordon was slowly and heavily patrolling among them. In the distant sky, rain clouds were piled up like prefabricated slabs. Hills occasionally rose and fell above the vast plain forest.

CSSS security unit?

What have you secured?

Nie Weiyang shook his head speechlessly. He stepped on his Lucky Lottery and drove past a security cordon. It made a slight buzzing sound. The red light swept over him, touching the standard two-handed sword and the security personnel ID card on his chest, and then he left calmly.

Yes, now, as long as Nie Weiyang still carries these two things on him, all CSSS security units will no longer actively attack him. Facilities belonging to the previous civilization will also prioritize him as their own unit, giving him more convenient treatment and even giving him a discount.

After his rebirth, his neighbor asked him if he had found a job. Now that he thought about it, how could that not be considered a job? His three-month internship had already passed.

Incidentally, administrator status surprisingly doesn't come with a discount, perhaps because administrators don't need that little discount. However, when Nie Weiyang casually asked, "Do I get paid?", the host's silence was longer than any previous one, so long that it made people want to join in the silence.

Before going to Shelter 3539, Nie Weiyang left the city first.

Under the night sky at the edge of the city, he found a place with a nice view on the top of the mountain and took out something from his backpack.

It was a skull.

A small skull that hosts a trace of energy fluctuations. In its eyes, there are two strange runes engraved, emitting subtle black energy.

Nie Weiyang gently stroked it, sinking his spiritual power into it. He sensed a broken soul—he awakened this soul, and a thought resonated in his mind, almost calling out: "Dad?"

"..." Nie Weiyang sighed softly. He sat on the ground, holding the skull in one hand, gazing into the sky, his scarlet eyes hidden behind sunglasses, his windbreaker spread on the ground.

"I am not your father." Gentle waves flowed through his spirit.

This communication was not equal. He was there completely, while the other party was a little girl who looked only six or seven years old. Her eyes were blood red, and there was a dark hole where her irises should be. That was the sign of a follower of the Sky Crossing Demon.

The left side of the child's body was shattered, scattered like broken glass, and seemed to be pointing in a distant direction. However, she seemed to feel no mental pain, and just tilted her head upwards in a spiritual space, as if she could see him if she looked up.

But she only saw the sea.

It was a sea of ​​white light that flooded the sky and the earth. It was gentle and calm, not hot, not cold, not dazzling, and not hurtful.

But her instinct told her that if she dared to touch it, she would be crushed to pieces and her soul would be shattered.

"I want to find my dad..." the little girl murmured cautiously, "Dad..."

"..." Nie Weiyang was silent for a moment and said, "He's not here."

"Where is Daddy?"

"In the city, not far away. You'll see him soon." Nie Weiyang said, his voice softer than ever before. "Child, are you okay?"

"I……?"

"You. I noticed that you seem... not very energetic."

"I'm...hungry," the girl muttered. She touched her stomach with her good hand, seemingly unaware that the other half of her body was gone. "Dad said...if I get 100 points on the test, he'll take me out for hamburgers...This time, I only got 99, so Dad got mad, but he still gave me candy...Uncle, I'm so hungry..."

"Sugar?" Nie Weiyang's voice was gentle. "What kind of sugar?"

"It's just... Dad brought Mom and sister... Mom and sister turned into candy, and Dad said they loved me. I love eating... that candy... Mom and sister, when will you come again?"

……

Listening to the childish voice, Guanghai showed a slight fluctuation and Nie Weiyang closed his eyes.

"Child, that..." He paused, not knowing how to tell her that it was not candy.
