Another Life: Elf Archer

id "con1272666">

Outside the Papal Hall, which collapsed into ruins, rising smoke and dust lingered like clouds between the trunks of the giant trees. Under the twisted tree roots, three people as small as ants tried their best to look up. After a moment, Dion turned slightly sideways. , looking at Nick who said nothing:

"Are you relieved now?"

"Yeah." Nick looked away, with a smile on his lips. He came out of his meditative state and returned to his original appearance with a weak waist and a slouched back.

"This person... is too wishful thinking." Sara pursed her lips and frowned slightly.

Dion lowered his head. The spring at his feet was like water about to boil, churning with bubbles. A thin layer of thick green mist was released from the broken bubbles. In two or three breaths, it filled the air around Dion. Nick and Sara at their feet.

Seeing that the poisonous mist surrounded the three people, but stopped spreading outwards, the other people who had been silently guarding the side took a few steps closer. York walked to Dion with the giant hammer, and John, who had put on his helmet again, put it down. A, holding the hilt of the sword, stepped closer to Sarah, with a glimmer of light shining through his deep eye sockets, Qi Youfeng solemnly pulled out his two swords and faced Nick face to face.

The twins stood motionless, their empty eyes and statuesque posture clearly indicating his offline status at this time.

"You don't have to worry too much," Nick looked at Qi Youfeng, who looked calm. "Simir didn't sacrifice anything particularly important. He is not qualified to ask for repayment."

Qi Youfeng understood and nodded with a smile: "Although he will never have this opportunity no matter what, thank you anyway."

York looked at Nick, then at Dion and Sara, and curled his lips: "It seems there is still some time, how about you three explain it to us?"

"After all," York added, "who knows when the next meeting will be."

Sara pondered for a moment, and seeing that neither Dion nor Nick had any intention of stopping her, she spoke in a complicated tone:

"That arrogant guy Simil... this is not a tree of life and death, but a tree of reincarnation. He... is trying to restore the reincarnation of people, not the reincarnation of karma, but the memory controlled by personal choice and personal control." refresh."

Sarah comes from an Indian background and has a certain respect for the concept of sasāra, Sanskrit and karma. She is also most dissatisfied with Simil's ideas.

She could probably imagine how Simil came up with this idea.

If, in the future, mind uploading becomes a part of life, and after human beings reach the end of their physiological lifespan, they can continue to operate in the virtual world in the form of data bodies, then we will inevitably have to face a long period of time and the accumulation of data over time. memory.

Becoming a data body, memory is the bytes stored in the database. Active forgetting may become an operation that is difficult for individuals to complete. Then, the various feelings and experiences accompanying the memory data include pain, anxiety, joy, excitement, etc. Wait, and it will appear like the past reappearing every time you flip through the memory.

Just imagining the mental load made her feel tired and tired.

Therefore, in order to embody the brilliance of humanity in the new vision of the future, the far-sighted Simil decided to give humans a chance to refresh their memories and start over by their own choice. It is not too strange and whimsical.

"This should be just an experimental version. Human consciousness is a very mysterious thing." Nick nodded his forehead. "No one can be sure whether the data body that has undergone this kind of reincarnation operation will still have self-awareness. Therefore, he just We are conducting small-scale experiments using NPCs."

"The tree of life and death in the Chinese area is a small simulation of the reincarnation system, and the tree of life and death belonging to the Gaia continent in this setting should be a larger-scale experiment." Dion said.

"The three items that make up the tree of life and death belong to two camps. In other words, according to the plan, the tree of life and death will not appear in the Gaia continent in a short period of time."

Nick closed his eyes and continued to analyze, half guessing and half deducing.

"From east to west, from division to integration, there will inevitably be many data refreshes. Which personality aspects can be retained by the system contained in the world of reincarnation, and which are harmful memory residues that must be eliminated. These... .....Hmm...What the aether thing is used for has never been made clear. Looking at it from the perspective of the fifth element, it may be a device for restoration and reorganization. "

"Collecting, fixing, filtering, eliminating, and then distributing, this should be such a set of procedures for individual consciousness data."

This tree is based on Dion's staff "Yuktrashil" and was cultivated by him, Dion and Sara. The concept of the "World Tree" was used by Simiel as " When the concept of "Tree of Life and Death" was covered up, the three people who supported the growth of the giant tree were naturally able to capture some of the meaning of this concept.

Naturally, the feedback in terms of meaning was a little vague, but that was enough for Nick.

This was the real purpose Nick had when he forced Dion and Sara to realize this whimsical idea.

Simil didn't want to explain more, so he went to find out on his own.

Nick was not curious about Simil's ideas and ideas, he just wanted to know what Simil had sacrificed for Cy.

Now it seems

"In this case, this reincarnation system should be the inner rule of the world that Simil decided to destroy, because this is not only the foundation, but the most important thing is that this is the future."

Although it is just the embryonic form of two systematic rules that are still in the experimental stage, they are also one of the important cornerstones for the future. They can naturally achieve the effect that Simil wants to achieve, allowing this virtual data world to draw the "fatal crisis" Level of danger judgment, thereby activating self-sealing protection measures.

Qi Youfeng took a deep breath, his eyes dark and unclear: "This is really a very great sacrifice."

Nick glanced at him and sneered: "What a sacrifice. This is just something he was already hesitating about whether to abandon. It's just that Cy's matter gave him a reasonable excuse and made him finally make up his mind."

"You can be sure." The other people looked at him at the same time.

Nick just looked at Qi Youfeng: "What do you think?"

Qi Youfeng lowered his head to think, and after a moment showed a slightly bitter smile: "That's true, because if Niannian knew the meaning of the existence of these so-called trees of life and death, she would definitely chop them into firewood with disdain."

"Yeah," Nick looked at the giant tree in front of him sarcastically, "It's so self-righteous and superfluous."

I'm afraid that at that time, Simil was still complacent in thinking that he had given the "gift" to the new human beings in the future a chance to freely choose life and death. Maybe he was prepared to regret the option, but in fact this was a more serious blasphemy.

"Although I really want to forget some things in the past," York grinned, "but without those past events, I wouldn't be who I am now, and I wouldn't be able to stand here at this moment. If I really want to Death, it can be settled in one go, so why do I need him to make such a thing? If I don’t want to die, then those past events are what I have to carry, let alone that kind of crap."

"forwhyismyfreedombeingjudgedbyanothersconscience" 10 Corinthians 29:[-] John quietly acquiesces.

"Unless the memories of everyone related to me are refreshed, this kind of thing is meaningless."

Dion agreed, he simply forgot about it, but what about the other people who had interacted with him? This idea of ​​reincarnation may be a relief for the individual, but it is a bit cruel to others.

If I hurt you, and I don’t want to face this memory, so I choose to forget everything and start over, how do you want the victim to face this slippery and thief situation?

The "death" of memory may also be regarded as death, at least in consciousness, but without the irreversible decisiveness and regret that can break the heart and soul, this is tantamount to reducing the value of "life", loyalty, integrity, and courage. The brilliance of many human virtues, such as kindness, generosity, and so on, are inseparable from the one-way journey of life leading to death.

My life has been too decadent, but it doesn't matter. When I get completely fed up, I will just refresh myself and start over in the future.

Once the cycle of life and death becomes an option that relies on the future, and becomes a miracle that can be achieved without praying, then the time passing by now will easily lose its meaning.

Life has become something that can be wasted wantonly.

"Nian Nian struggled so hard and tried every means to grasp and extend her originally short life, not just to live like this." Qi Youfeng thought of Nian Nian and unconsciously softened his smile.

Although he has only been with Nian Nian for a short period of time, he thinks he knows Nian Nian very well, whether it is her past or her present.

Since Simil has received the "dreams" specially left for him every year, he will naturally have the same understanding, and even the same judgment, at least to a certain extent.

Therefore, Simil did not sacrifice anything important enough to give up for Nian Nian. On the contrary, Nian Nian actually helped him correct a mistake in advance.

This fact made Qi Youfeng feel much better.

"Speaking of which," Nick curled his lips with malice, "This guy is obviously the guy most likely to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Cy early on. This is really a trick of fate."

Qi Youfeng gave him a free and easy smile in return: "Yes, this is fate."

Nick curled his lips in boredom, looked back at the twins who had not moved at all, and then looked at the character's health level that was constantly declining above his field of vision, and frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Theoretically, I can slightly control the content of the toxin." Dion noticed Nick's movements and said.

Nick hummed slightly and said no more.

The three people who stood carefully outside the range of the poisonous mist also stopped chatting and waited solemnly for the slow passage of time.

A few minutes later, the ruins of the Pope's Hall were still covered with all kinds of thick vines. Simil and Adam struggled to get through these hideous and terrifying plants, and finally saw a few people standing together as if they were performing some kind of ceremony.

Simil's question was about to turn into reality. The bone staff flashed red, and a narrow passage scorched by black flames appeared among the tangled vines in front of him.

Guided by wisps of black flames, Simil and Adam approached the Christmas Clown Mercenary Group and looked at the twins who had just stretched themselves.

A split smile appeared on the twins' faces, and Jekyll and Hyde spoke like a relay:

"Everyone, please wait. Let's kill."
