239 The Fool's Choice
"You said she successfully resisted the 'module'?"
Lin Chi looked down at the shadows who could not rise up, and a little confusion appeared on his vicissitudes of life: "But she did attack me just now."
Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled the last sentence that Shadow had said before the war started, and immediately opened his eyes slightly, and his expression changed from doubt to surprise:
"Is she not driven by the 'module', but was to break with me and then take the initiative to fight me?"
"It seems that's true at the moment." The petite "Queen" of the rebel army squatted down and reached out to touch the cold face of Shadow: "Does the body you used this time have a feud with her or something?"
"That's right."
Lin Chi nodded and then pulled the topic back on track: "You haven't answered my question yet."
What he was most curious now was why the girl said that "Shadow" was the only person who successfully resisted the module. After all, this goddess seemed to have no other characteristics besides being mentally retarded.
According to the girl, the so-called module should be a brainwashing device installed by the game administrator on the boss, and can even forcibly modify the thinking of these NPCs set as "leaders" to let them fight against players as bosses.
If the power of the module is really that powerful, how can the shadow get rid of its control?
The queen of the rebel army had not spoken yet, and the executioner who had been standing behind without making any sound suddenly spoke:
"My hometown is actually next to this valley. I used to be the executioner of the nearby Ice Kingdom. When I arrived here last time, I wanted to find my own weapons, so I walked around here."
"Your axe is here with me." Lin Chi said as he took off the beheading axe behind him.
"I saw it."
The executioner nodded and continued, "Then, while searching for weapons, I encountered the 'shadow'."
"She, like me, has long discovered the hypocrisy of this 'world', but unlike me, she is controlled more thoroughly. At least she can decide her own destiny, but she can't even want to live in seclusion. She can only continue to exist as a goddess under the control of the 'module' and become a boss destined to be killed by players."
Lin Chi remained silent and listened to the executioner continuing: "At that time, I invited her to join the rebel army. She refused my request because she was too corroded by the 'module'. But we still exchanged contact information. She could contact me at any time and place by sending a secret email."
"Then one day, she sent a voice message."
Speaking of this, the executioner walked up and stretched out his right hand and clicked in the air in front of him a few times. He only heard the sound of shadows, which sounded from the cold air.
Lin Chi could hear that the goddess's voice was indeed the same person as the "intellectual retarded" she communicated with before. But her tone and speaking style were completely different. It sounded very wise, but the weak and inaudible sighs at the end of the sentence, and the pause between each sentence, still faintly reveals the feeling of helplessness:
"Hello, Mr. Executioner, this is the first time I have contacted you through this method, and it should be the last time."
"What I want to tell you is that, I, who are troubled by the 'module', finally found a way to completely get rid of its control. This invisible module once manipulated me to commit many horrible crimes. Fortunately, it will never affect me again."
"I found that this module should be directly giving orders to me through the form of 'forced communication', affecting my thinking, and infusing its consciousness into my consciousness. It can even completely control my body in a short period of time."
"The easiest and most effective way to get rid of the control of the module is to transform my consciousness into a state that cannot be affected by the module. As long as I cannot understand the commands sent by the module, it will no longer be able to control me."
Hearing this, Lin Chi finally realized it and couldn't help but laugh: "Is this the reason why she became mentally retarded?"
Before he could finish his words, the shadow's voice had sounded again, with a hint of reluctance in his tone:
"I am the leader level just like you. In the abilities I have gained, there is indeed a power that can destroy my mind."
"I know that after using this ability to myself, I will definitely become dementia, but I don't regret it. It's better to be a stupid but happy guy and live a free life than to continue to be manipulated by modules."
"Then, I'm leaving. If I can meet again, please take care of that new 'me'. Because she will probably be stupid... so stupid that I can't imagine."
...
After the Shadow's voice message ended, Lin Chi was silent for a moment and focused his eyes on the Shadow's silly face again.
Even though he had guessed some clues before, his thoughts were still a little confused when he heard the truth with his own ears.
——This goddess actually completely got rid of the control of the "module" by destroying her own mind. While becoming mentally retarded, she gained the long-lost freedom!
Lin Chi could see that Shadow's actions were equivalent to eliminating his original self and creating a new consciousness!
There is no doubt that it takes extraordinary courage and determination to do this to yourself.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi finally spoke slowly: "This is the first time I admire a mentally retarded person."
"Well, she is a very powerful person." The girl squatting beside the shadow nodded: "Anyway, I can't make up my mind to do such a thing."
"So you are going to take her away?" Lin Chi asked.
"Well, after all, other bosses controlled by modules are beyond help."
The girl nodded again: "I plan to study the modules on her body and find a way to destroy the modules. If the modules on her body can be removed, her mind may be able to come back."
The "Queen" of the Resistance Army had just finished speaking, and suddenly turned his head to look at the cliff in the distance. The expression on his little face became solemn, and he whispered: "Oh no."
Hearing her words, the members of the rebels who had been guarding nearby were immediately alert, pulled out their weapons and looked around, ready to fight at any time.
"Is the executive officer here?" Lin Chi asked.
"The executive is approaching. He probably found us on this map. Go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave!"
The girl said casually and waved her hand, and a dark rift appeared in front of her again. The members of the rebels present entered one after another and began to leave the place through the portal.
The executioner strode forward, carried the shadow that was in a coma on his shoulder, nodded to Lin Chi, and then walked into the portal and disappeared.
Before leaving, the girl sighed depressedly: "Although I want to tell you the secret contact information, it's too late now. Run, the executive is coming soon."
"No." Lin Chi shook his head: "You go, I want to stay here."
"What are you doing here? Are you looking for death?" The girl looked at him in surprise: "You can't beat the executive!"
"I just want to see the combat power of the administrator."
As he said that, scarlet blood light lit up behind the old hunter again, and his red wings suddenly appeared, illuminating the dark sky.
