I Was Once a Legend

Cui Zuojing woke up in a pure black coffin.

Opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was the pink sky. Cui Zuojing got up quickly and walked through the rose field in front of the church. Under the blooming flowers, the bodies of countless sick believers were buried.

He walked into the main entrance of the church and arrived at the nave, where the sparrow that had woken up in the rose field was already waiting there.The two sat on the bench and waited for a while. People who woke up from the coffins at different places in the box arrived one after another. rejoin.

This is far from the first time that Cui Zuojing never encountered other people's dilemma. Cui Zuojing immediately confessed to Dong Linhai, the holy son in white robes. He said exactly that he had killed the forest ranger. crime.

Dong Linhai drew a cross on top of his head very unskillfully, and said: "I will forgive you."

As his voice fell, the cross drawn by Dong Linhai's fingers in the void turned into a solid white cross and fell at Cui Zuojing's feet.

"So that's how it is." Cui Zuojing picked up the cross.

Wang Que, who had also found out her own sin, confessed to Dong Linhai and got the same cross, but the others did not get enough clues due to lack of time to explore.But the impact is not big, they didn't intend to follow the plot stipulated by the box honestly, and they just wanted to see what the use of confessing to the Holy Son was.

Everyone went to the second floor, and Cui Zuojing went straight to the darkroom where the woman was found before. He turned the cross next to the secret door 180 degrees. With the sound of the machine running, the secret door opened, and the smell of blood came.

"Wait a minute!" Dong Zheng frowned suddenly. He stared at the inverted cross. Jesus was hanging upside down. On the second floor of the inner temple, an inverted cross suddenly appeared on the place where Murphy's meme was visualized. , "It's the meme on this thing!"

"What?" The heretics encountered in the kitchen did gesture the reverse cross to Cui Zuojing, trying to convey some kind of message, but Cui Zuojing didn't understand at that time, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So as long as you see this thing Will you suffer from memetic hazards? Are all the secret doors and secret passages in this church the opening mechanism of this kind of cross? As long as you open the secret door, you will be recruited?"

Dong Linhai suddenly realized: "No wonder the situation has deteriorated so badly even though I was hiding in the dark room at that time. There is an inverted cross hanging on the wall of the dark room!"

Victor's face sank like water: "Kether knew that I could resist all diseases, so he deliberately used memes. Such a vicious trap, he didn't want us to get out alive at all."

Lin Hangzhi said: "That's over, haven't we all been tricked again?"

Victor reassured: "It's okay, with me here, even if you get hit, you won't be seriously ill, just be careful not to get lost."

Cui Zuojing entered the dark room. The female believer had just given birth and was at her weakest moment. Like the first time, he promised that the other party would treat her child well, and carried the newly born baby out.

Dong Linhai took off the white robe of the Holy Son as a swaddle, and the baby was held by Victor, the only child who had ever had a child. Dong Zheng tore a strip of cloth and covered his eyes to ensure that the child would not be hurt when he opened his eyes. meme effect.

Immediately afterwards, they arrived at the entrance of the gallery. Dong Zheng unlocked the mechanical lock, and the gallery opened. Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng walked in, while the others waited at the entrance.Walking through one painting after another, Cui Zuojing saw him wearing a maid's skirt, and beside this painting, the blank canvas was so weird.

Cui Zuojing raised his hand and pressed it, the power of chaos sensed the power of time in his body, and immediately responded, but it was far from as strong as before, so strong that Cui Zuojing could faintly feel it outside the secret passage.

The pond carp Nana has already left.

The canvas is just because she once existed, or was once used as a cage to imprison her, exuding a chaotic atmosphere that has not disappeared.

"She's gone." Cui Zuojing turned to Dong Zheng, his voice echoed in the narrow gallery, "Then let's start."

Xia Qiongyun's throat felt a little itchy. She raised her hand to hold her neck and cleared it vigorously. Her action seemed to trigger a chain reaction. Dong Linhai and Lin Hangzhi also felt uncomfortable and began to cough.

"Is it so fast?" Lin Hang was startled, the last time he died before he could really explore the church, completely unaware of how serious the memetic hazard is.

Only Wang Que was fine. She was stunned for a moment, took out the cross she got after confessing from her pocket, and said, "Could it be that this thing resisted the attack of memes?"

"It's possible. If the meme is the curse of the heretics in the priest's last words, it is indeed possible to use holy objects to resist." Victor hugged the child and said, seeing Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng coming out, he asked, "Why? Sample?"

"She's gone, start planning."

Before Cui Zuojing finished speaking, Dong Linhai stretched out his hand and directly pushed down the exquisite large vase that was one person tall next to it. The vase rolled down the stairs step by step, crackling into a pile of pieces.

Everyone who was startled: "......"

Dong Linhai spread his hands and said innocently: "What are you doing? Didn't you agree?"

It was indeed agreed, Cui Zuojing cut off the railings with a single swing of his knife, Dong Zheng lit the curtains with a candle in his hand, Xia Qiongyun picked up the statuette and the cross and smashed it at the rose window, the stained glass shattered and shattered. land.Wang Que called out with all his heart, and countless worms crawled out of the ground outside the church, densely converging into a black river, gnawing at the building, Lin Hangzhi directly took out the shotgun, and fired a few shots at the wall. All fragile things are doomed to be smashed to pieces.

Victor covered the baby's ears to prevent the crackling sound from scaring him, and shook his arms lightly. His eyes were blindfolded and he couldn't see anything, but the warm breath on Victor's body reassured the baby, and he Not crying, more honest than when Cui Zuojing took him.

The six people in the team wrecked wantonly, beating, smashing and burning all kinds of crimes. With the blessing of ability, they set off from the second floor, went up to the third floor, and went down another staircase. Everywhere they went was a mess.

The heretics who were ambushing in the underground cavity heard the sound and came up to check, but with the detection ability of Wang Que and Dong Zheng, the traces were clearly informed to everyone by the communication channel.Come one to kill one, come to kill one pair, anyway Cui Zuojing has been cleansed of his sins, no matter how many mistakes he makes, he will not be branded again.

Destruction is indeed the evil instinct buried in human beings. Everyone is very happy, and the catharsis of violence is far more enjoyable than anything else, because it is so relieved, listen!The sound of the broken rose window is so clear and beautiful, look!The appearance of the collapsed cross is so brilliant and moving, and the smashed image of the Virgin Mary is so holy and beautiful!

Like ghosts entering the village, they quickly turned back from the third floor and arrived at the nave. The priest's body was still in the unopened coffin, but now, no one cared about him.

Lin Hang's shot smashed the window coffin behind the pulpit. Dong Linhai stood on the coffin and looked down at the rows of seats in the nave. Cui Zuojing looked up at him and said with a smile, "Why, what are you doing?" Are you going to play disco on the priest's grave? Be careful that he will look for you under your bed at night."

Dong Zheng was still setting the fire. He lit the rows of wooden seats and the carpet in the middle. The flames rose rapidly and burned everything.

Cui Zuojing took out a card from his pocket. He held the card between his fingers and threw it out at the right position. The card, which had been strengthened by the killer's power to be extremely hard and sharp, flew over, and the chandelier light cord at the top was swished. cut off.

Snapped!

The huge glass chandelier hit the ground and shattered all over the ground. The tongue of fire licked the building and its furnishings, making crackling and cracking noises as it burned.Cui Zuojing was sitting on the coffin, and the cross on the coffin board was a little in the way, so he broke it off abruptly, raised his hand and threw it into the sea of ​​flames.

In a blink of an eye, the entire nave turned into ruins. A group of people walked out of the church. From the outside, this gorgeous and splendid church had almost no complete windows, and heat waves and smoke rose from the doors and windows.

The rose field had been turned upside down by the bugs in the ground. The bright flowers were toppled left and right and uprooted, exposing the rotting human body below. Dong Zheng kept the burning candle in his hand inside, and the miasma emitted by the corpse was quickly ignited.

At this moment, the child in Victor's arms seemed to feel something and began to cry loudly. Dong Zheng raised his head suddenly, and he finally noticed the unstable fluctuations, which came from the inside of the box, from all the scenes. Behind, a more original place.

With a crackling sound, the raging fire in the church burned the wooden frame, the tallest spire collapsed in the thick smoke, and the cross above it broke.

Under the eyes of everyone, the baby's figure suddenly became unreal, and a series of numbers composed of 0 and 1 vaguely appeared in the pink sky above his head.Now not only Dong Zheng, but even Cui Zuojing and Victor felt that unusual energy was overflowing from all directions, from churches, roses, corpses, land, and everything.

The box suffered too much damage, the plot collapsed to the extent that it could not be adjusted by itself, the program was out of control, and was recognized as an abnormal virus by Kether's crew, and all the concrete objects were turned into a string of data, forming a complicated and incomprehensible program— — This is the original appearance of the box in Kether's unit.

In an instant, all colors and objects disappeared.

There is no sound, no wind, and no temperature can be felt. The crying child turns into data in Victor's arms, and floats to the sky that is also woven by data, while the flame burns into constantly jumping numbers.

The seven stood together tightly, and they watched in horror at the sudden change in front of them, except for Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing.

Dong Zheng’s core presents a similar scene, everything can be represented by 0 and 1, and all changes and reactions are just the beating and calculation of numbers.The concrete products of these programs have torn off all the cover at this moment, showing their original true appearance in front of everyone.

The data became more and more chaotic, and the entire sky seemed to have turned into a huge display screen. The numbers were beating wildly, challenging the limits of human eyesight.

Suddenly, a strong fluctuation appeared.

Dong Zheng shouted in a low voice: "Here we come!"

Everyone paid full attention, a crack appeared from the sky, and several strings of data flew out of it, transforming into five people in black tactical suits in the air.

They were holding guns, wearing goggles, and handsome black tactical uniforms. Dong Zheng was stunned when he saw the familiar red in the middle.

The man looked about 25 or [-] years old, tall and strong, with slightly messy red hair, sea-like blue eyes hidden behind transparent goggles, light-colored freckles on his cheeks, and each position was so familiar.

"Alan?!" Cui Zuojing took a step forward and shouted involuntarily. Dong Linhai's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Brother Lun!"

Even Xia Qiongyun recognized him as the person on the portrait hanging in the living room of the castle.Just when everyone was amazed, the five people in the sky flew in different directions, and "Alan" was going straight to the tombs behind the church.

"Alan!" Dong Zheng shouted, as if he heard his voice, the figure of "Alan" stopped, he followed the sound and looked down, and found several small figures submerged in the torrent of data .

He gave a suspicious "Huh", turned around and flew down.

"Alan" slowly landed in front of the crowd, pointed his gun at them vigilantly, and said sharply, "It's you who disrupted the procedure?"

"Brother Lun, don't you remember us?" Dong Linhai couldn't help but said, everything was so familiar, he didn't expect, he really didn't expect to see Alan again one day!

"Alan" frowned, and he glanced suspiciously at the young man who looked very excited, his face was full of vigilance and hostility, and he said forcefully, "Please answer my question."

"It seems that you don't remember us, but it doesn't matter, all of us still remember you." Dong Zheng whispered, he looked at the person in front of him, "Your name is Allen, and you used to be our best teammate. Sadly left us in a box somewhere."

"Alan" is simply inexplicable, he has no idea what strange things these people are talking about: "You said that my name is Allen? Just kidding, I am No. A01002 of the task force, and I am responsible for repairing abnormal data. It seems There is something really wrong with this box, and it has produced your strange viruses."

After all, he was about to shoot, and Dong Zheng grabbed his barrel. Allen is now completely in the form of data visualization, and Dong Zheng is best at dealing with data.

Aware of the invasion of Dong Zheng's core, the way A01002 looked at him immediately changed. He is now completely sure that this group of people is a virus!The box actually produced a new type of virus!He has to kill them and report to the administrator!

Cui Zuojing quickly said: "Kether has washed away all your memories, so in your opinion, we are a group of strangers and an abnormal virus. Don't rush to deny it, you might as well think about what I said carefully."

"Do you remember what happened before you joined the Task Force? Do you remember your name, your age, where you came from? Do you remember who you loved? Remember the woman who was waiting for you at the spa hotel in Xll ?"

The expression on No. A01002's face seemed to be moved for a moment. Dong Zheng took Cui Zuojing's words and said, "Do you still remember the first time we met in Hameln, you took the initiative to come and talk to me and Linhai, and then we Work together to escape from the dungeon, from the morgue to the final ward in the illusion of the labyrinth of time, you are the first friend I met in the pure white world, and finally I found you under the cliff, you asked me if I become an npc, Will you remember us?"

Judging from the expression of "Alan", he really can't remember a little bit, Dong Zheng's heart gradually sank, Alan's companion is repairing data in other places, presumably it will not take long to complete the task, already There is not much time left for them.

Cui Zuojing took a deep breath and said, "I know, to you now we are just strangers meeting for the first time, you can't believe it in just a few words, but we have very, very important things to do, It's about the whole of Pure White and everyone's fate, but if we are found by other task force members, we will be wiped out, right?"

"We need your help." Dong Zheng stared into Alan's blue eyes and said firmly, "We will help you get your memory back, and we will definitely get it back."

No. A01002 didn't speak, Wang Que's eyes were full of tears since she saw Allen, she clenched her hands tightly, and finally said the first sentence, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "Brother Lun, are you really ...don't remember anything?"

Something is constantly surging in the depths of my mind, desperately trying to break through the invisible confinement, but no matter how hard I try, I can't really do it.For a moment A01002 almost believed it, because the feelings of these people were too strong, all the tears and forcibly suppressed lips touched his heart that had not fluctuated for a long time.

But he really can't remember anything.Maybe just like what the boy said, his memory was completely deleted. Since he became conscious, he was organized into a five-member team as A01002 to perform tasks. He killed viruses, cleaned up abnormal data, and obeyed the instructions of administrator 03 Dispatched to serve a supercomputer named Kether.

"Well, maybe what you said is true." No. A01002 sighed. He raised his hand and scratched the red hair indiscriminately. This habitual action when he was troubled was exactly the same as that of Allen back then.

He glanced at the positions of the other companions, and held the gun in one hand, with the palm of the free hand facing up, and a string of characters appeared in his palm.He looked at Dong Zheng and said in a low voice, "The program has stopped urgently. You should all be wiped out. This is the key to the emergency passage. Before anyone else comes over, let's go."

"Thank you." Dong Zheng reached out to take it, and when his fingertips touched the string of characters, the characters turned into a data stream and sank into the core. A door opened around them, and the information highway extended from then on, leading to an unknown place.

Dong Zheng led the team to enter first, and he is the strongest guarantee for the team in the data world.After Cui Zuojing was broken, he followed Lin Hangzhi into the emergency passage, turned his head, and Alan was standing there watching them leave. He took off his goggles, and in those blue eyes, there was a surge of possibility that he might be himself. Emotions that are incomprehensible.

The emergency passage was closed, and the group of people disappeared in front of them. Task Force A01002 put on the goggles again, gripped the submachine gun in his hand, and turned to clean up the disordered data.

— Do you remember what happened before you joined the task force?

— We were once your most trusted teammates.

No. A01002 is still so capable, firmly carrying out the orders given by the administrator, but those words have been quietly buried in his heart like seeds, waiting for the day when they will germinate.
