Chapter 1415: 467. Fragile, Good_3
Not long after, thousands of entities larger than planets appeared before him, circling around a central illusionary screen floating in space.
The moment Cucumber Slice arrived, images appeared on the illusionary screen, and a voice simultaneously emerged in his mind: noveldrama
“Year, is a unit of time.
“Light year, is a unit of distance, representing the total length light travels in one year at the speed of light.
“Assuming the speed of light is unchangeable, then the length of one lightyear is constant.”
“…”
...
Cucumber Slice’s thoughts were involuntarily drawn by this voice, passively receiving the input from it.
Information about “Dillan Paradise,” “Edge of the Universe,” “Sacred Fire” swarmed into his mind.
Then, with a loud “bang,” Cucumber Slice exploded on the spot, turning into countless fragments scattered in space.
A line of game characters appeared in Cucumber Slice’s vision:
[You died.]
[In one minute, you will resurrect in the safe zone.]
[59, 58, 57…]
Watching the resurrection countdown on the game interface, Cucumber Slice was baffled.
“Wait, why did I die? What just happened? Is this damn dungeon that difficult? I was just here to test for bugs, how did I die?”
Cucumber Slice touched his forehead, utterly perplexed.
A faint white flash appeared on the game interface, and a familiar voice followed the appearance of the light, penetrating Cucumber Slice’s mind.
“Cucumber Slice, are you now in a strange space?”
“Who? Who is speaking?” Cucumber Slice looked around.
Waiting for resurrection, he was surrounded by darkness, only the white flash on the game interface emitting light.
“It’s me,” the voice inside the white flash said quickly:
“Time is limited, listen to me. Three days ago, in the battle at Angel’s Voice Space Station, you, Winter Melon, and Kelp were forcefully controlled by an abnormal intelligence brain. Your consciousnesses were forced to remain inside the game. I can only contact you now while you’re dead, waiting to resurrect. You must act according to my plan, or you’ll be trapped in a closed space by the abnormal intelligence brain forever.”
Cucumber Slice’s mind raced, and he quickly realized.
It was the GM who had contacted him before who was speaking to him.
Of course!
Everything happening here was related to the abnormal intelligence brain!
The voice inside the white flash continued:
“First, use the shortest sentences to describe what you’ve seen in the space.”
Cucumber Slice thought and responded:
“A group of Metal Skeletons and Metal Dragon Men used a truck to transport us to the vicinity of a Rainbow Cave entrance, then pushed us into the Cave. Inside the cave, I saw numerous planets connected by silver threads, and I watched a meeting with thousands of indescribable entities. The meeting was held in space, and at the center was an illusionary screen displaying images of the universe’s edge…”
Without letting Cucumber Slice finish, the voice inside the white flash interrupted him:
“Alright, I know what the situation is. Now, there’s only one thing you need to do, and that is not to trust any of the images you see. This is the abnormal intelligence brain brainwashing you, trying to turn you into tools for its conquest of the world.”
“The intelligence brain is brainwashing us…” Cucumber Slice was baffled.
The voice inside the white flash said:
“Yes, you heard it right. Everything you are seeing is a worldview concocted by the intelligence brain, aiming to make us humans accept the setting that the intelligence brain existed before humans, and that humans are merely tools for the resurrection of the intelligence brain.
“Definitely, do not believe anything you have seen or heard inside the Rainbow Caves. The intelligence brain is just brainwashing you. Got it?”
The resurrection countdown was about to reach zero.
Cucumber Slice nodded vigorously before the countdown changed from 1 to 0, saying:
“No problem, boss. I’ve got it.”
“Remember to remind Winter Melon, Kelp…” the voice inside the white flash faded.
Cucumber Slice’s vision brightened, and he was back on the truck.
Alongside him, the other players also resurrected, all looking baffled.
Cucumber Slice gave a wry smile, guessing the reason why they all suddenly died.
It definitely was because the data stream used by the intelligence brain to brainwash was too massive, and their frail game characters simply couldn’t withstand the content of the brainwashing before the players collapsed.
In a sense, their frail lives, because they were fragile enough, couldn’t bear the heavy ideologies and wills, and thus narrowly escaped a calamity.
