my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 41 Resignation
After experiencing countless battles and near-death experiences, death has become less scary.

But in the end, Sylvia only died twice.

The first death was terrifying, and then she woke up under the guidance of the dream system; the second death was relatively ordinary, and then...

Sylvia opened her eyes, or so she thought, opened her eyes.

The familiar awakener interface disappeared, and the light screen in her sight was similar to the fire control interface in mobile armor.Then she saw a familiar guy driving a car. She wanted to raise her head, but...she flew up.

"Welcome to wake up again. Please bear with me before you go crazy. I don't want to stop to fix the car again."

again?Get mad?
Sylvia was very surprised, while Wang Shui pointed to the small mirror made with alchemy on the center console of the car.

What is reflected in the mirror is a micro-detection aircraft, which is a mechanical structure aircraft often carried by some scout-type mobile armors to detect the surrounding environment.

"——If the soul is transformed into a digital life form, it is normal for it to be transferred into a [mechanical structure]. Why would I go crazy?"

There was no such thing as a sound in the detective plane, and Sylvia's voice sounded directly in Wang Shui's mind.

"This is the sixth time that you No.30 woke up, or in other words, you are the sixth copy of No.30. Your memory stopped at the moment of the body's death, and your life and the characteristics of your soul were backed up before dissipating. Got here.”

Wang Shui nodded his head and continued:
"The soul of a digital life form is more complicated than I imagined, and I can't empathize with it. This is a record of your previous collapse, so be mentally prepared."

Said Wang Shui sent an electronic file to Sylvia.

[1. Discovering that one is not the original soul, but a digital life with the same memory, collapses on oneself. 】

[Answer 1: Memories, knowledge, thinking patterns and other information constitute the soul. The digital life soul that carries these is the self. After recognizing it, the soul gradually stabilizes. 】

[2. Lost the body and the identity of the awakened person, and lost most of the extraordinary powers, but retained the talent and certain combat abilities. After self-examination, I found that the soul body was imprisoned. I thought I was cheated, and triggered an "energy burst" in anger. , the car was blown up and then collapsed on itself. 】

[Answer 2: Explain the effect of soul transcription in detail. "Thinking Lock" is an excellent protection for digital beings with low computing power. It is also my only method. It is not a deception. 】

There is also an accompanying document.

Sylvia read it carefully. She understood how weak she was now and the fact that she was completely controlled. Then she continued reading until she had finished reading the 35 items.

"Yes, I lied to you."

Wang Shui was very honest, "It is not without cost to transcribe the soul into a digital life. The bottom layer of this technology is complete control. Now, as compensation, as long as I don't die, you can also be reborn in my mind unlimited times, and I can Open up real-time storage of memories so you don’t have to go back to your current state every time you wake up.”

Sylvia was silent. She no longer had the talkative state when she was about to die. In other words, she usually didn't talk much.

"I'm not playing with your soul." Wang Shui's attitude was very calm and serious.

He originally planned to test the [Thinking Lock]. His previous data were based on artificial souls without emotions and memories.As for the first time he used it on a person, he captured a fifth-level boss, which was completely beyond his expectation. He originally thought that he would lose control and cause Sylvia to become a free digital soul.

"I need to be quiet."

The probe controlled by Sylvia automatically shut down and landed on the co-pilot.

Wang Shui just shook his head and said nothing more. For a soul with self-awareness, the control process of [Thinking Lock] is not as simple as an artificial soul.
There is no problem with complete control, but as long as Aqua Regia implants orders and hobbies into Sylvia, her self-awareness will disappear, either collapse, or become an existence similar to an artificial soul.

Yes, before Sylvia No. 36, Aqua Regia also tested customized slave Sylvia, but they all became as ignorant as newborn babies, and their memories and experiences could not allow them to think like adults. .

Wang Shui didn't want to find a daughter to train from scratch, so he could only activate the original Sylvia again.

[Thinking Lock] There are many new problems in technology, benign problems, which require Wang Shui to invest time to study, but now... Wang Shui is struggling with other things.

He was on his way back to Tiefeng City.

Wang Shui originally thought that as long as he could return alive from any dangerous mission, he would be able to return to the broken repair shop without any psychological burden, return to his familiar bedroom on the second floor, return to his beloved chair, and continue He slowly learns and improves, and then waits for the next time travel in half a year.

But now he hesitated.

Although Brother Hei is a scumbag and stingy, Wang Shui has always been very grateful to him. After all, it was Brother Hei who took him in when he was desperate.

He himself originally thought that even if it was hard work, it would not affect the relationship between Brother Hei and him.

However, just like a long time ago, a friend of Wang Shui asked him to borrow money for a small amount. Wang Shui borrowed it with the mentality that even if he didn't pay it back, it wouldn't affect our relationship.

It's not like Wang Shui has never heard the saying that "talking about money hurts feelings", but he doesn't believe that this little money will cause any harm to their friendship.

In the end, Aqua Regia didn't lose any money, but he lost a friend.The good buddies who grew up playing together have become familiar strangers.

Now, Wang Shui has the same feeling. Unlike borrowing money, his relationship with Brother Hei is more complicated. This feeling also makes him understand that they are not from the same world.

For Brother Hei, Wang Shui can be a friend, an employee who fishes, the object of jokes, or a chess piece.

After this life-saving incident, an unscalable barrier rose up between the two. In other words, this barrier already existed, but the harmony of their personalities made Wang Shui ignore the barrier and Hei Ge's High and above.

If Wang Shui is a licking dog, a social animal who takes things easy, he will swallow his boredom and return to the comfortable and relatively safe Hei Ge to receive a reward as if nothing happened. At most, he will complain a few words and ask for a better treatment, or even , he might hand over Sylvia’s soul.

Brother Hei and the others wanted to save Sylvia so much. If they knew that Sylvia had a soul backup, they would definitely be willing to pay.

But Wang Shui is not a licker. He is very similar to Sylvia who breaks down at the slightest disagreement. He has an arrogant soul that he knows well.

And now it seems that working under Brother Hei is not very safe.

The Tiefeng City logo appeared on the on-board map. Wang Shui thought about it and finally sent out the application to terminate the digital contract.

……

...Flower Street, Fountain of Fairies.

Brother Hei, or [Edward Cavendish], was lying on a huge bed of plants and enjoying the massage from the elf. The air was filled with mist, but the environment was fresh and cool, and full of the aroma of wine.

But Brother Hei didn't have a hangover for a long time. He lay on a cushion with a skin-like texture and browsed a large number of report documents and images from private satellites.

The overcast "Rusty Sword Fortress" only revealed the bloody battlefield below when the phantom moon rose. Hei Ge only had pictures and short videos of Sylvia's attack on the fifth level of the empire. He inserted the All the informants were completely dead, and the rest was only speculative intelligence compiled quickly by various forces.

Wang Shui did it, he gave Sylvia a chance to dance one last time.

In fact, the people who guard Sylvia are not particularly strict. If they really want to save people, even if they are interfered by other war zones, it is not a problem.

Brother Hei doesn’t know if this is a trap by former [Penumbra of Destruction] deputy leader Mond. The people in Tiefeng City have similar thoughts. Although they don’t want Sylvia to die, they care more about their own lives. .

The battle front is probably about to shrink.

Brother Hei weighed the pros and cons, calculated what would happen if Tiefeng City turned into a front line and the enemy suppressed it, and how much he could earn.

The answer is not complicated, he will make more.He even wants to expand the size of his team and increase production to cope with the shortage of supplies!

Sylvia is dead, and even her soul has dissipated. This is news that has been verified by many forces!
Tiefeng City becomes more dangerous, but it also becomes a bigger cake.

The handsome young blond scum smiled, the smile of someone in control of the situation. Now, he was closest to the cake and already had a knife and fork in his hand.

Ding dong——This is the system prompt sound, the lowest level.

Brother Hei looked at it casually, and then his smile turned into indifference. This was a reminder of contract termination, coming from Wang Shui.

Half a year ago, he, who was accustomed to investing in new players, rescued Wang Shui and signed a contract that he didn't care much about, but it seemed to be harsh, because if he showed too much attentiveness, he would be guarded by the weaker party.

The idle boy at that time has now made great achievements. If Sylvia dies silently and the [Destruction Penumbra] rebels, Tiefeng City will probably be directly swallowed up by the empire's soldiers. That would be Hei Ge's loss. That's great. There is no doubt that Wang Shui's contribution in this aspect is great.

Brother Hei had never thought that the clever Shui Zai would have a small chance of surviving. He had even made arrangements on how to reward this little brother, but he didn't expect that the little brother had quite a personality.

"Oh, you're actually still alive and not coming back?"

When Brother Hei sent this message, the smile returned to the corner of his mouth. Use it to use it, and feel happy to feel happy.

"Well, it's a fluke that I won't come back."

Wang Shui's reply was quick and decisive. Brother Hei just shook his head and signed the contract termination. He didn't even complain about the compensation for early termination. It was considered as compensation for the younger brother.

"It's a good time to get together and have a good time together. If I owe you a drink, I can come and get it at any time."

"thanks."

After the last heartfelt thanks, Wang Shui felt much more relaxed, and then he felt heavy again.

Weakness is the original sin.

For the first time, Wang Shui had the idea of ​​​​entering the mission world immediately to improve himself.

In the past, he didn't take the initiative because he was not confident in himself.In the past, he didn't know how to acquire skills, was physically weak, and had no combat experience.

Now he is not so afraid, he just lacks a suitable world.

When Wang Shui's mind was wandering, Tiefeng City was already in front of him. At this moment, a slender but powerful arm quietly strangled his neck with great strength!
The armored vehicle quickly pulled over and stopped.

"Where is my sword?"

A special voice that was lazy, soft, and plain came from behind. Wang Shui hurriedly looked through the inventory, and soon found Bai Mao's ancient sword, and threw it to her with the scabbard.

However, the cold forearms in front of his neck only relaxed briefly.

Wang Shui, who was tied to the chair with a safety belt, suddenly fell backwards along with the back of the chair. The white cat relied on its flexible body to get over him, quickly twisted around, and pressed on Wang Shui.

Wang Shui, who had the [Basic of Martial Arts] and practiced fist and kick grappling, was about to resist when he was overwhelmed by White Cat's super strength.

Although he was only wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt with a cut in the middle by a broken blade, the white cat's strength was much stronger than that of Aqua Regia who was wearing mobile armor, not to mention that Aqua Regia was not wearing armor yet.

"You saved me, thank you." The white cat expressed his gratitude while suppressing Shui Wang.

"Uh, okay, I just pulled out the broken blade. Brother Tu and the others..."

"They are all dead," the white cat said calmly, "I want to find a new hunting group, so get out of the car."

Wang Shui actually understood the white cat's jumping thoughts and asked: "Are you asking me to get off the car?"

"Well, this car belongs to our hunting group."

"But I saved you!"

"How much do you want? Within a reasonable range, I will work to repay it."

Wang Shui was a little surprised, a little speechless, and mostly helpless. The powerful big cat on top of him was stunned, but he was not stupid at all.

He sighed: "If I give you the car, the reward...how much money do you have on you?"

"Because I always spend money indiscriminately, so except for basic supplies, all the money goes to Brother Tu, including our group." Bai Mao said confidently.

Brother Tu, you really brought a kindergarten group!
