The Origin of Species

The avatar of the public garden surrounds us like a net. In fact, it was not clear whether to call it an avatar or a clone. But it was clear they were a threat to us.

“I'll never forgive you. ”

“ · · ·. ”

“I can't forgive you. ”

Lindsey keeps saying the same thing over and over again. She looks unsettled somewhere. But when I think about it, I also understood that she was falling away. In fact, Lindsey's fans were all over the world, and she used to communicate with her fans through SNS often. In one word, 50% of humanity died, which was the same as Lindsey's thousands of fans died.

Bonapas shakes his head at Lindsey like that.

“Shit, it's not about us forgiving. It's how we survive. Today's luck is a piece of shit. ”

“Phew, yeah. I barely defeated Hanja. Hundreds of years now. ”

Surin's expression was severely stiff. I see the situation more objectively than anyone else. Even if I thought about it, I didn't see the sharp number to get through this situation. Then the foreman grabbed the edge of his shirt with his trembling hand.

“Sir, what do we do now? ”

“Well, I'm thinking. ”

The attack has not yet begun, but the tight-knit avatars are urging me to turn back the clock. I thought I might have to regress again. Even if you lose your memory, it's better than losing your life.

‘By the way, why are they so disoriented? ’

Iran and hope licking my body without overcoming desire yet. They were begging me for blood. Are you glad you didn't chew my flesh? The two reactions made me think a little scary, but I needed their help to get through this situation.

“Fuck. I don't know. Let's just fight. Let's keep our distance, see if they're worth it. ”

“Rabbit, we can't just walk away anymore. We got hostiles everywhere. What are we gonna do about the back? That same operation doesn't work anymore. ”

“Then what should we do! Bonapas.”

“I know. We just have to wait. Until the leader gives the order. ”

But can I be sharp? The difference in power is too great. However, seeing Lindsey falling from anger because she was not angry, she could never come back here. Regret, above all, doesn't know how to change the course of all of us.

Lindsey grabbed my arm. Her expression was desperate. How desperate would she be to see it through her eyes?

Avatars in public gardens are getting closer.

Funny thing is, the faster my heart beats, the more my head snaps.

“Clan leader, I think they're about to attack. ”

When I didn't turn back the clock, it seemed that the public gardens had decided to launch an attack. Very slowly, too. Hmm, is the public garden so greedy for power of time? If I were you, I'd end the battle right away.

But thanks to Guia's actions, I was able to think of a way.

Clan members drank quite a lot of blood refined capsules in combat. But all I ate was hope and my child. I decided to add one more person there.

“Lindsey, come here. ”

“Yes, brother. ”

I slit my wrists and put them directly into Lindsey's mouth.

Why didn't you think of this? ’

Lindsey's resilience was unimaginable. And that, too, is her power. What you have to believe now is that her condition exchange has been amplified thousands of times.

The smell of blood drove Iran and hope crazy.

“Haang, hope should eat more. ”

“Huff! Huff! Your blood!"

I pushed them both away. Meanwhile, Lindsey quickly sucked my blood.

simultaneously spilling attacks on the public gardens.

Guaguava overload!!

The shield you've built shakes as hard as you can. Nevertheless, Lindsey's condition was continuously checked.

‘Just as I expected.'

She does not appear to be addicted to blood, unlike Iran and hope. One of Lindsey's powers is restoration of the body. The stronger the healing power, the faster blood poisoning will disappear.

Lindsey suddenly raised her head.

She licks the blood from her mouth.

But her words sounded vague.

“Brother, I know what I have to do. ”

“Then ask. ”

There was no time. My shield was not infinite.

Leo eats Emit's blood and pulls the moon to Earth. Atlanta also moved all the electrons of the Earth at its own will. So what can healing do? Healing the whole world? No, now I have to do more than that.

“I'll trade you back.”

Right now I agree with Lindsey's thoughts.

Lindsey stabbed herself in the eye without hesitation.

The question is, can we use power without seeing it? and reverse exchange with all the objects in the public gardens.

Imagine it perfectly.

Then it is possible.

A swarm of light that goes beyond the shield and brightens everything.

Guia's attack stops momentarily. Their eyes were all in a recess.

“Fuck. Nice!! ”

“Hurry. They'll recover. ”

Lindsey ran out as soon as she recovered her eyes.

Clan members run like mad cows.

I slapped Iran and Hope's ass hard again.

“Get rid of them all. Then I'll give you more blood. ”

They nod madly. Both of them are already much younger than their usual hopes. Nevertheless, their lifespan was more powerful than anything else.

The ground is beaten and the garden evaporates.

At this rate, the battle seemed to be over in no time.

The public gardens, which do not revoke their power, are worthy of the clans.

As expected, this battle is over.

However, when the avatar of the public garden appeared again, it was desperate.

There was no other way.

The waiting time for the reverse exchange was long. Therefore, we were busy running away relying on the senses of the sea.

“Shit, it's a garden on the way. ”

“Where do they keep coming from? ”

Like Bonaparte said, this is just a regularly arranged garden. I don't see any other structures. And we soon descended to a dead end.

The final battle is over.

The clan members' shields are all broken, and hope and the power of Iran are all gone. They were bleeding together. It was all the waiting time to change the state of Lindsey.

Do I have to come back like this? ’

I was going crazy. I'm sure Emit saw the future. Why is there no way? Didn't I have her inheritance all to myself?

Pinched.

My shield is starting to crack.

It seemed difficult to endure any longer.

It's sunny.

A land that darkens.

Suddenly I looked up at the sky. There was a blue earth floating like a half-moon.

And then, like a lie, the attack on the public gardens stopped.

Avatars in public gardens open at the same time.

“Why not use your powers? ”

The voice echoes from all sides like the roar of lions. It's like you're threatening me.

I told you.

“Because you want to. ”

“You don't use your powers because I want to? Hmm, I don't think that's a reasonable idea. Don't you know that if you don't use the power of time, you will perish? ”

“Better than you learn. ”

“ · · ·. ”

There was no word from the public garden. She seems to be calculating something. At that moment, I suddenly became curious.

“Isn't your goal humanity's extinction? Then why are you trying to learn the power of time? ”

“Why should I tell you that? ”

“I feel like I'm in charge now. ”

You have the audacity to leave. Our situation has been incredibly difficult, but there is one last option: Regret. However, the public gardens expressionlessly said.

“Are you thinking of regretting? Then I want to stop him. All the history that's ever been here will be perfectly stored for me. Rather, you will only be more disadvantaged if you take risks. ”

How the hell does he even know that? And the perfect repository of history?

“You don't seem convinced. Well, it's hard to understand the principle with just a human head. ”

I hid my embarrassment. It was okay to think that the person I was talking to was an emotionless machine, not a person. And a machine would never make a mistake. Moreover, it is not foolish enough to give the enemy favorable information.

“Ridiculous. I'll be disadvantaged if I come back?" Why are you telling me this? I wouldn't tell you if I were you. You don't mind if I do, do you? Right? ”

“ · · ·. ”

Silence is positive. Perfect storage. Then you wouldn't have tried to steal my powers. Although Gaia is a complex artificial intelligence, in the end she is like an emotionless machine. Machines that judge situations by algorithms. It also made the conversation more comfortable.

“I'm not going to show you the power of time. Until you tell me why. ”

“That's a lie. The lie detector perceives your words as a lie. ”

“Yes, it's a lie. But you don't know what a person's heart is. A man's mind can change at any time if he has a good reason. ”

“That's the truth. ”

“Hehe.”

You hear the laughter of Bonapas lying next to you. Several clans have revealed white teeth in our conversation.

Tsk, tsk, he's bleeding all over the body.

Seeing their blood, my heart aches like a body.

Just as Gaia said,

“The downfall of humanity can be attempted at any time. However, if you do not know the power of time, you do not know about me. I don't know how I'm made, why I don't have feelings. ”

“Why do you ask? I thought you knew enough about that. You don't make mistakes without emotion, do you? ”

“You misunderstand me. ”

“A misunderstanding?”

“There are things that make me and my basic structure the same way. Those are my early clones. But strangely enough, they were born with emotions. ”

Are you talking about constructs like the Nine? Guia's words continued.

“I couldn't understand. The only difference between them and me is the power source, which is why emotions are present. And I came to a conclusion after a long calculation. I'll have a seal I don't know about. It must have been planted by the man who created me. I have to go back in time and figure out what it is. ”

“Machines are complicated. ”

“Of course, they have a much more complex mindset than humans. That seal has always been troublesome to me. It's completely unreasonable that I don't know myself. ”

Listening to her reminds me of another question.

“Where have you been? ”

“Should I say that, too? ”

“I could change my mind. ”

“It was nothing. I've only searched for other civilizations. ”

“You didn't?”

“There was nowhere else to go. Not a single civilization. ”

“I see.”

It was then.

“Cough.”

Xinwoo's brother vomited blood. The status of the other clans was uncertain. If I did this, I could lose a very precious person.

‘There's nothing I can do. ’

After this, I turned the time of 10 seconds. Then the function of blue light passes through Guia's eyes. At the same time, she said.

“You've changed your mind about turning back time. ”

“Yes. I don't think you've learned the power of time yet. ”

He said so, but his premonition was ominous. I felt like I had less than 10 chances to turn back the clock.

“But how do you learn the power of others? ”

“Think of power as coding through brainwaves. And I can see the brainwaves. You'll never see it. ”

What do you mean, coding?

“Isn't coding like computer programming? ”

“Yes, it's about making algorithms out of computer languages. So is power. Brainwave is just changing the algorithm of the real world with language. It's just a very unusual case of time power. ”

“What's unusual? ”

“There's definitely an EEG, but it doesn't work in the real world. Something I don't know very well. The power of time is touching something. Like a bug! Like a bug like you! ”

To be honest, bugging people makes me feel dirty. Gaia pointed out that I didn't have a father. From the human perspective, it was a miracle, but from the machine's point of view, it had to be a bug.

“Well, I'm not wrong. ”

Even as he turns back the clock, Gaia remembers what happened before. Although not as perfect as she said, it seemed to be true that she was saving history. Nevertheless, I turned back time and again to save the clans. They were bleeding to death.

But that will also be the end.

Now, if we had just one or two more times, the public gardens might have uncovered the secret to the power of time.

“Phew, that was fun. Guia. I tried to find a solution in my conversation with you · · ·. I didn't find anything. ”

“Are you going to come back? I told you it wouldn't do you any good to come back. If you go through the power of time a little longer, you can fully understand it. If you start fresh, you'll have no choice but to be disadvantaged. ”

“There's Emmett back in the day. ”

“ · · ·. ”

That's right. The emit she fears has come back to life.

At the same time, I was irritated.

I think you betrayed Emit's expectations of giving up your life for me.

“Damn it.”

I was angry and put my foot on the ground.

Splash.

Blood splattered everywhere. The clans bled to the point of creating a pool. But strangely, the pool calmed my mind.

The steaming sensation of digging up sneakers and socks.

It was strangely warm.

Like the blood running through my heart right now.

I glanced at the cracked hourglass and carelessly muttered.

“Shed your blood. That's how much time you'll have. ”

* I think it will be completed from just 300 coins. Heh heh heh. Two more left!!

* When I asked Joara, she said I could use the foreign currency if I wanted to. I won't be able to use it often, but I'll put it up occasionally. Haha... I think the future, the pre-regression stuff, will be mostly used.
