Resurrection Empire

Ren Zhong smiled, "Of course it is. Not only am I alive, but I am also living well."

"Yes, after all, it's you."

Jin Shi calmed down very quickly.

She didn't ask Ren Zhong's reason for coming, nor did she ask such frivolous questions as to why Ren Zhong was here. She only grasped the key point and asked: "What do you mean when you say it's not as simple as I thought?"

Ren Zhong shook his head: "Let's not talk about whether the Mechanical Empire can really be liberated, just talk about yourself. What you just said is impossible to achieve."

"Why?"

Ren Zhong did not explain much, but showed her the memory extracted from the brain of Duke Wenle Ivan Romanov in the form of an image.

After reading it, Jin Shi was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "I was deceived by the empire."

Ren Zhong: "Yes."

Jin Shi: "I don't understand. It's obviously a war situation now, and the empire needs me. Even if those clone commanders can achieve 90% of my abilities, the difference between 90% and 100% is far from 10%. So simple. It was a war. A perfect commander could reduce a lot of losses and win a battle that would have been impossible to win. They had no reason to do this. But... they did it anyway."

When she said this, her voice seemed to be trembling.

Ren Zhong immediately asked: "Is there a possibility that 90% of what you saw is also an illusion. The truth is 100%. According to my observation of the technology provided by Ivan, the Chosen One, it can be achieved 100% Replicate your abilities. After their experiment is successful, you will completely lose your use value. Most of the humans in the empire are actually inhumane, so they will not feel guilty towards you. You are just a tool in their eyes. That’s all.”

Jin Shi nodded, "That's it."

Her innate loyalty to the empire was shaken violently at this moment.

Then, huge pain immediately came to her mind.

This is the sense of separation caused by the huge conflict between her current cognition and her past obsessions. It may also be the mental pain caused by the collapse of the loyalty that the Zero Weapon used to instill in her using the icosahedral resonance.

But she just swayed slightly, frowned again, and made no unnecessary movements.

Ren Zhong looked at her, slightly surprised.

Before arriving, the plan he prepared included emergency rescue work.

According to Ava and Vittel Hatton, loyal imperial commanders like Zhenjiang Hou Jinshi would suffer terrible backlash when their beliefs suddenly wavered and collapsed.

Nowadays, almost all members of the Red Front Legion have turned against the bandits, but that is the subtle effect of Ren Zhong's long-term influence. This is a slow process, not a sudden outbreak.

Unexpectedly, Jin Shi could remain calm.

Ren Zhong immediately took out a new sports visor from the side, and at lightning speed, he first took off her wide-brimmed lady's hat, and then put the sports visor on her.

After a while, Jin Shi's complexion improved a lot.

She turned to look at Ren Zhong with surprise on her face, "What is this?"

Ren Zhong replied: "The little thing made by Chifeng Academy of Science is nothing. It can not only block your thoughts from escaping, but also help you stabilize your mind."

As he spoke, Ren Zhong looked down at the wide-brimmed hat provided by the Imperial Academy of Sciences in his hand, quickly dismantled it into parts, and then commented: "This thing is well made. In the Red Front Legion, it costs about Only a university graduate can make it, which is considered a bachelor’s graduation project level.”

Jin Shi: "..."

After a long while, she said slightly depressedly: "You have to know that this hat is already the most cutting-edge technological product of the Royal Academy of Sciences. The Prince Regent and the Emperor used exactly these when they were in cryo-sleep. Device. But you said this is just a bachelor's graduation project. If someone doesn't know you well, they will think you are bragging, but I know your character and know that you are telling the truth."

"Sometimes I really think that this world is really unreasonable. The technological accumulation accumulated by the empire for thousands of years has been surpassed by you and a group that originated from a seeker colony in just a few thousand years. This...this is unreasonable."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "There is nothing unreasonable. In my opinion, the situation in the entire Gupan galaxy, including the empire, is really unreasonable. Let me show you something more. After watching you Just understand.”

Later, Ren Zhong showed Jin Shi some things, but skipped some concepts that were completely beyond Jin Shi's understanding, such as the cycle of destruction and the time span of trillions of years. And, of course, his own ancient origins.

After a long time, Jin Shi put down the projection tablet, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and then slowly said in a trembling voice: "So, has the development trajectory of human beings been planned from the beginning? Over the past tens of millions of years, everything in the Gupan Galaxy has Everything that happened was under the control of the civilization named Zheluo behind the scenes? Is that why the Mechanical Empire has truly stood still for tens of millions of years? Everyone is a puppet on a string, and everyone's life from birth to death Our destiny has been arranged? Then what’s the point of our efforts and struggles?”

Ren Zhong nodded first, then shook his head, "Zheluo is controlling humans, but he can't control me, so my Red Front Legion is the true form that humans should have. As for your personal destiny, you are a bit too conceited. No matter you , or the emperor who is currently sitting on the throne of the palace, are not worthy of special treatment by Zheluo. Zheluo controls the general trend, not the individual. The entire human civilization can be regarded as a complete single life form. Zheluo only needs to use shackles Just trap the complete human being. As for the birth, old age, illness and death of each cell, who cares what each cell thinks in its heart?"

Jin Shi felt a little better after hearing this, and nodded: "That's true. So the purpose of telling me this is to let me join you?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "It's not about joining. This is actually everyone's inherent responsibility. This responsibility is not righteous. It is just the instinct of allowing human civilization to multiply. It will force everyone who knows to stand up and fulfill their own responsibilities." mission. In a sense, whether it is hometown complex, tragic empathy, or feelings of family and country, or even helping yourself and your relatives and friends pursue a better life, all these relatively positive emotions can ultimately be attributed to the continuation of the race. Instinctively.”

"Of course, not everyone in the Mechanical Empire is so reliable, and not everyone is worthy of being absorbed by me. The imperial family despises you, and even intends to make you a tool to satisfy Duke Ivan's quirks. I am different, I As early as the first time I came into contact with you, I noticed that you are different from ordinary people."

Jin Shi smiled and said, "It sounds like you are trying to make me happy. But I am not that confident in myself. There are many commanders in your Red Front Army who are more capable than me, but they are just overshadowed by your light." .I know this very well.”

Ren Zhong shook his head again, "Talent is only one aspect, but what I need most is your illness."

Jin Shi: "My disease? What do you mean?"

"It's an unstable particle that causes your brain's thoughts to escape. I didn't understand what it was before, but now, Chifeng Academy of Science has figured out its characteristics through calculations. When a person dies, his thoughts will dissipate quickly. The weight will change very little in a very short time after death. In the past, people believed that the so-called force field in the brain bound the soul when a person was alive. The dissipation of thoughts is a passive process. But now I People have made new discoveries. At the moment of death, a particle whose information depth exceeds previous human imagination begins to attack the human brain, shattering the originally stable and regular thinking spiral, which leads to quantum escape. I will These things that destroy people's thinking are called death particles. But what's special about you is that you are still alive, but you are always attacked by death particles. I regard you as a person who can connect the two worlds of yin and yang. I think Through you, you communicate with those who may exist after death.”

Although the city lord's notes did not record the world after death, the information that the one hundred thousand "wronged souls" in the nameless city remained in the memory of the demon infant has never disappeared from Ren Zhong's mind.

Ren Zhong had already guessed that the City Lord's story was not over yet through his own resurrection, and knew that the City Lord had probably obtained the Grand Unification Formula.

He needs Jin Shi as a bridge.

That's why he worked tirelessly for Jin Shi and said so many things to Jin Shi that he shouldn't have said.
