Collapse, Horror Rabbit Development Program

In the upstairs room of Raven's, Bronya is sitting on the bed with her legs crossed.

The setting sun has completely set, and outside the window is a faint blue night, decorated with patches of neon lights, giving it a sense of colorful dreams.

There are no stars in the night sky, and there is a faint light flashing under the black night, which is the color of the light curtain.

The light curtain hangs over the sky of Tianqiong City like a giant bowl, blocking the inside and outside. I don't know what the sky outside the light curtain is like a cage.

It may be an umbrella for ordinary people, but for Bronya, this is a cage.

This city is full of traces of capital manipulation. Ordinary people who cannot master information technology and cybernetics knowledge can only be manipulated without knowing it.

Bronya doesn't like this kind of world. She works hard to learn hacking knowledge, just to have a pair of clear eyes in the vast city. Following in the footsteps of Siora and becoming a mercenary, she also hopes to see the truth clearly. You have the right to refuse later.

But after all, this is the result of a compromise with reality, and she also knows that she cannot shake the rule of the city's upper class with her own abilities.

Since it is impossible to hold up the banner of resistance, it is your bottom line to be able to say no to things that infringe your rights and interests.

Sometimes she also thinks that if there is no light curtain in this city, then she must have run out long ago, and the outside world is at her disposal... But this is impossible, at least since she was sensible, light The curtain already exists, and there is no known way to open it.

However, in the past few days, rumors that the light curtain could be opened suddenly spread.

As long as the three keys are collected, you can know how to close and open the light curtain.

"is this real......"

If there is no hope, then naturally she will not have any illusions, but now that illusions are gradually becoming real, the opportunity to open the light curtain of the sky is here, how can she endure it quietly, how can she return to her previous life?

She wanted to ask Li Kai about it, but she held back.

The two are still at war.

From Li Kai's answer, Bronya could tell that he must be thinking about some kind of plan, and it was the kind she didn't like very much.

Although Bronya had expected such a day long ago, she still had mixed feelings.

The two eventually disagreed.

zizi——

Li Kai flew the stalker drone to the side of Bronya, also looked out of the window, projected a square chat interface, and sent an emoji.

The Q version of Horrible Rabbit is sitting at a student table, with his small hands under the table and his chin resting on the edge of the table, and the Q bomb's face comfortably becomes an oval shape.

Really face flat.jpg

This emoji made Bronya angry for a while, she struggled with it for a long time, and you turned sideways in such a comfortable way?

We are in conflict now, don't you know?

"Li Kai." Bronya.

【Um? 】

"Come on, tell me about your plan." This time Bronya turned her head to the wall and said with a straight neck.

For her, this is considered soft.

【plan? 】

"Don't you say that you also have your demands, tell me, let's seek common ground while reserving differences..." Bronya said depressingly.

[Then tell me about you, what do you want to do? 】

"I want to collect the key and go outside the light curtain in Sky City." Bronya looked up slightly, "What will you do? Will you stop me?"

【Won't. 】

Not only will I not, I will help you quietly.

Bronya's eyes lit up a little, and then she coughed reservedly, as long as Li Kai didn't stop her, she couldn't ask for more.

"What about you, what do you want?"

【Change the world. 】

In fact, he wanted to talk about transforming the world bubble, but thought that Bronya might not know the concept of the world bubble, so he gave up immediately.

"Hey... so high school." Bronya hugged her shoulders, her whole body pimples.

[This is just a fact, my goal is to control the core of the light curtain, and as long as this goal is achieved, the control of the world will inevitably be completed. 】

Is it because of the light curtain?

Bronya thought suspiciously, if she controlled the opening and closing of the light curtain, she could control the world to some extent.

Moreover, there are not no such movies as Skynet and Sky City.

Maybe Li Kai has evolved to this level. To be honest, Bronya has never been able to figure out where Li Kai's limit is.

No wonder he refused to tell himself the real purpose. If he didn't know how to open the light curtain, he would definitely stop such a plan.

As I said before, Bronya asked herself to at least have the power to choose. She couldn't accept a world where she couldn't choose and could only leave her fate in the hands of others.

But now, since he can leave Tianqiong City, there is no core conflict between himself and Li Kai.

"Li Kai, why don't we make a deal?" Bronya's mind had already started to move.

【Um? 】

"Everyone gathers firewood to make a fire, how about you help me get the key, and I will help you ensure that the core does not fall into the hands of others?" Bronya poked the drone's head carefully.

【Can. 】

Li Kai secretly sighed.

In fact, he was already ready to have a big fight with Bronya or even part ways. He knew exactly where Bronya's bottom line was.

It seems that Bronya still doesn't know what will happen when the etheric singularity of a world bubble is mastered.

The etheric singularity is the base of the world bubble, the source of the world, and holds all the information since the birth of the world. Those who can synchronize with the etheric singularity can use the etheric singularity to achieve many miracles that cannot be accomplished by manpower.

Equivalent to the gods of this world.

Reviving the dead, tampering with time, modifying and adding things that shouldn't exist, is like cutting, copying, pasting and deleting on a computer.

It is impossible for Bronya to accept that there is such an existence that can arbitrarily tamper with her life. For her, all activities in this world are paid by her with real emotions. If someone can delete her without her consent The experience brought her back to the original point, so what is the meaning of her life.

He will definitely do everything in his power to stop it.

However, only on this point, Li Kai can't give in. If he doesn't grasp the etheric singularity, the world will eventually be doomed, and both he and Bronya will die.

One side is life, and the other side is freedom. Li Kai chose life and chose to live. This will will not be shifted by any setbacks, no matter whether Bronya chooses the other side or not.

Horror rabbit, this time, I may have to make the choice for you.

Li Kai calmly looked at Bronya who seemed to have regained her relaxed expression.

No.30 Eight palms, we are all growing

Since it was decided to steal the secret key, it was natural to collect information about Shencheng Technology Headquarters.

Bronya is going to start with Shencheng first. After all, it is the place Li Kai is most familiar with and has the highest success rate. It is the first time to do this kind of thing. If it fails, it will be a blow to morale.

So on a certain night, Bronya was carefully looking at the defense map of Shencheng Science and Technology headquarters that Li Kai gave her on the screen.

"Brownie, are you sure you want to do this?" On the other end of the communication, Teresa said with a worried expression.

"It must be done." Bronya covered her hood slightly, "After all, I have already made an appointment with someone."

It was agreed that he would take the world into his pocket, and he would go on a trip where he didn't know when he would come back, or even never come back.

None of these words were spoken to Teresa, however.

It should be very sad when parting... Then I will save some words for that time.

"Okay then, let's confirm again." Teresa took a deep breath and looked serious, "You want to go outside the light curtain, and you need to collect the key for this."

"This is an enemy of the three major forces, are you really prepared for this?"

"Think it over." Bronya rubbed her nose with the back of her hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely succeed."

"When will we do it?" Teresa asked.

"Tomorrow night, let's gather at the old place." Bronya finally remembered most of the details on the deployment map.

"Then, that's fine." Teresa hesitated, and finally hung up the communication.

......

【Is there nothing to say to Teresa? 】

"What are you going to say now?" Bronya curled her lips, "It's not even certain whether it will succeed, it's too early to think."

There was a little silence between the two of them.

"Li Kai?"

【I am here. 】

"That plan of yours...wouldn't hurt my friends."

【No, I guarantee it with my source code. 】

"Heh..." Bronya was amused, "It's really a wonderful guarantee."

Bronya looked up at the light curtain in Sky City.

"Then, it's an agreement. When the time comes, I'm going on a trip. You have to protect my friends and family."

【I will. 】

[However, aren't you going to invite me when you travel? 】

"No."

"I'd be homesick if you were here."

......

Li Kai looked at Bronya who was enjoying this quietness, and suddenly felt that she had grown up a little bit.

Stop trying to rely on me for everything.

How much pressure did this hopeless city put on her in the past to make her so determined?Li Kai is incalculable.

However, only when it is really unbearable, will you try your best to grasp the possibility of breaking out of the cage.

[Then will you come back? 】

"Yes."

【uncertain? 】

"Yeah." Bronya covered her face with a hood and nodded, "By then, you will have completely integrated with this city."

"Skynet, Omnic Crisis, etc., I also understand... This city must have become your back garden."

"If I come back, I must have mastered enough power to compete with you like this."

As if the burden had been unloaded, the corners of Bronya's mouth gradually curled up, as if she was smiling.

At this time, Li Kai suddenly realized that the reason why Bronya relied on him might be found by him.

My previous analysis of Bronya's mental state may be a bit one-sided, focusing too much on her own growth experience, while ignoring macro factors such as the general environment.

The aspect of personality analysis is correct. Her current behavior has an inseparable relationship with her childhood, career and other experiences, but in terms of her dependence on herself, the dominant factor may be more the environment.

This city is hopeless for the vast majority of people. If wealth, power and other assets are quantified in 3D graphics, then this city must be a thumbtack.

The pointed part is called the capitalists, and the rest are called the poor.

Living in such a hopeless world, and as long as you can remember, people have been telling you that you can't escape. This city has been shrouded in something called a light curtain. The pressure of inescapability will twist everyone's nerves in the subconscious, and it will make people feel anxious about self-destruction.

However, her stubborn personality is resisting this anxiety, like a voice saying: Forget it, I can’t escape anyway, it’s okay to do anything, don’t resist.

But soon another voice will jump out and say loudly: Wake up, wake up!Your life can't be controlled by other things, or you are finished, look at what happens to those who give up fighting against self-degradation!

Hence, Bronya is extremely dependent on Li Kai, asking him to arrange everything, but at the same time, she is also resisting the life that Xiora prepared for her. This is obviously a contradictory mental state, but it exists in both the heart of a person.

But now it is different, she has found a way to leave Tianqiong City, like a person who has been tortured by darkness all year round suddenly sees light.

The pressure is still there, but this pressure no longer causes Bronya to have a tendency to self-destruct, because they have a vent, and they are transformed into motivation and determination to get out of Tianqiong City.

How desperate and gloomy life was, how strong the desire to go out is now.

Li Kai believes that this is a kind of growth, although this growth is accompanied by parting from relatives and friends, companionship with loneliness, and traveling alone.
