Crisis Facing the Parallel World
As soon as he finished speaking, a real-time calculation of the game appeared in the video content.
It was an open room equipped with various precision machinery.
It seems to be some kind of control laboratory.
Players saw this and combined it with what Brother Banana just said. It is not difficult to guess that this is where the BOSS fight takes place.
As a player, as long as you have rich game experience, you generally know some rules and regulations.
For example, there must be supplies before a battle, or an open field without enemies may be a BOSS battle, etc.
The laboratory room in the picture now obviously complies with the second rule.
Just as the players were guessing, in the video, a giant, rickety, semi-mechanical, semi-dry creature with movable joints like a doll suddenly fell down.
It has skinny, slender limbs and a slender torso like a mummy with protruding ribs.
On the top of the neck is not a biological head as known in common sense. It's an ancient display made of iron.
This is clearly the old computer product of W-FBC-0079 'Old AI'!
At the same time, the glass screen was covered with static pictures of faces belonging to 'Old AI'. The two empty black holes stared at the protagonist expressionlessly, giving the players in front of the screen a chill as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
This is not a human being at all!
Players were all shocked when they saw this giant, slender monster with a hunched body.
Is this the hidden BOSS?
Blanch! So cool!
This slender giant that is half mechanical and half biological, and has a design with an old monitor as its head, is simply terrifying and refreshing at the same time!
Because they have never seen it before!
In other words, ordinary people would never imagine that monsters could be designed like this?
The huge sallow body that was as skinny as a mummy was obviously scary enough, and it was paired with a thick monitor as its head.
This strong sense of contrast and strange and uncoordinated shape have simply subverted the players' vision and experience for decades!
What an extremely bold design!
It's weird and chilling, especially the slender limbs and huge hands that can move, which directly brings the uncanny valley effect to its peak, making every player in front of the screen widen their eyes in surprise and horror!
This is W-FBC-0079 'Old AI'. The product of Ultra-Fine Processing with humans.
Oh my god
It turns out that anomalies and humans can still be Ultra-Fine Processing
How many unknown details and gameplay methods are hidden in this game?
And how to fight a BOSS that is the product of a combination of humans and anomalies?
With a few questions in mind, the players in front of the screen were eagerly waiting for the UP explanation.
But in the video, the voice of Brother Banana was suddenly replaced by another UP host with a thinner voice.
There is no handover in the middle, and the analysis starts as soon as it comes up.
[The monster you see now is the hidden BOSS in the game - Jimin Walker. Yes, this is the true identity of the protagonist of our parallel world. Now it is no longer a human being. As a BOSS outside the main line, its difficulty is second only to the final BOSS of the game "Immortal Giant Lizard", which can be regarded as the second-ranked BOSS in the entire game. ]
[For convenience, I call it Protagonist 2 here. There are many ways to play it and it's very free. The production team has not fixed the gameplay like A-FBC-1000 'Bigfoot'. When players fight Protagonist 2, they can be tough and use abnormalities. In short, you can use whatever you want to deal with it, as long as you can kill it. ]
[But note that it is Protagonist 2, which also has the ability to read files. So when fighting it, you will find that its dodge rate is ridiculously high and you can't even touch it. Only unexpected sneak attacks can hurt it. But it's difficult, at least we tried many times. So in the end, I have to admit that except for the few flaws that the technical experts can find, it is difficult for ordinary players to defeat this BOSS without the abnormal items of "a magical outfit". ]
[We will upload this BOSS's "skipping class" later, which mainly uses a very awesome anomaly called A-FBC-1297'Reverse Time Fingernail Can'. I won't go into details here. ]
[Now back to the topic, in fact, in the parallel world, if we didn't look for A-FBC-1000 'Bigfoot', we could have been exploring the abandoned facilities. Among them, you can find some documents left by Protagonist 2. Through the fragmented information above, we pieced together what happened in the parallel world and why Protagonist 2 turned from a human into a monster. ]
[Next, let's start with the cause of the whole thing Control Failure, which is the disaster in the parallel world. ]
The video screen slowly faded to black.
Ethereal and sad background music sounded softly.
The next second, a screenshot of the game appeared in front of the players.
that is
The display interface of W-FBC-0079'Old AI'!
Above is a message from Protagonist 2 in the parallel world to the player.
The description between the lines described Control Bureau as doing all kinds of evil and being a bastard, comparable to a cancer in the world.
It can be seen that Protagonist 2 is indeed shocked and disgusted by FBC's behavior of eradicating human beings.
At this time, the voice of commentary sounded again.
[First of all, we can understand from Protagonist 2's message and the desolation of the parallel world that Control Bureau has really eliminated mankind. And, it was successful! ]
[Then the question is, why does Control Bureau in the parallel world do this? What on earth did humans do to make Control Bureau eliminate them even if they release anomalies? ]
[We can find the answer to this from Protagonist 2's diary. ]
[Let's take a brief look at the situation in the parallel world. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, the screenshots in the video turned into the content of the diary document. In order to highlight the key points, the two paragraphs No. 2443.3.8 and No. 3.15 were also enlarged and displayed.
Then, the explanation continues.
[The diary of No. 3.8 tells us about the energy depletion of Blue Star in the parallel world. The diary on March 15th tells us that the parallel world is the interstellar era, and humans have colonized the moon. But due to energy problems, a plundering war broke out on the moon. ]
[Note that the word 'plunder' is used here, not scramble or scramble. It can be seen from this that energy issues have begun to trigger robberies. But why the robbery? Note that the plundering party is called 'resistance organization' in the diary, not bandits and thieves. It shows that the political power in the parallel world is most likely to be the kind of class that squeezes people, hoards resources, and causes the gap between rich and poor to become too wide, so that social chaos leads to the birth of class warriors. ]
[Here, there are already signs that the world is about to end. ]
When the players heard this, they suddenly realized.
So that's it
Unexpectedly, there is so much information hidden in just two paragraphs of the diary.
After explanation, I realized that the parallel world is a high-tech interstellar era. But in fact, it is nothing more than strong on the outside and barren on the inside.
The depletion of energy has put this developed civilization in danger and cannot support future development.
This is almost on the road to extinction!
Just when the players were sighing in their hearts, in the video, the commentary started again.
[Human beings in the parallel world have adopted many methods to survive. The first is the establishment of a new religion. This diary on August 22, 2444 tells us that the old government allowed the establishment of Truth Cult. The subsequent diary also emphasized the strength of this religion. Not only did a large number of FBC personnel join, but Protagonist 2 himself became one of them. ]
In the video, two screenshots of the diary appeared again.
One is the diary numbered 2443.12.22, which states that Protagonist 2 will not blindly believe in religion, nor will he follow any 'martyrs'.
The other one is the diary of May 14, 2444. The above content mentioned that most people around the world, including a large number of members within the Control Bureau themselves, have joined it. The last sentence in the diary is 'Praise Altman'...
The players immediately understood that this last sentence had already shown that Protagonist 2 had become a disciple of Truth Cult.
OMG...
What kind of religion is this Truth Cult that is so awesome?
What do they believe in?
So much so that even Protagonist 2 is so enthusiastic?
The unsuspecting players continued to watch the video.
Inside, the commentary continues.
[In addition to religion, it is all about exploring the universe. Finally, the new government discovered a planet and sent out an elite fleet to explore it. But the strange thing is that 7 months after setting sail, the fleet executed some "Plan No. 5" on the planet and directly destroyed itself. It can be seen from this that there is definitely something wrong with this new planet! ]
[In the end, the old government failed, power changed, and a new government was formed. After the new government took office, it built a self-sufficient integrated 'mobile factory', which is Seonggok. ]
[This spacecraft is very awesome. From the diary on October 19, 2447, I learned that Seonggok's energy extraction method is to directly pull out a piece of the surface from the planet and then crack it for mining. His bold approach and behavior also shocked Protagonist 2, a fourth-level FBC doctor. It can be seen from this that Seonggok is hope for the parallel world! ]
[Therefore, in order to allow Seonggok to work properly, the new government sent dozens of patrol warships to protect it after 5 months. One of them, named Kaila, should be the wife of Protagonist 2, who serves as a medical staff on the "Courage". ]
[But]
The voice in the video paused, causing the players in front of the video to raise their eyebrows.
Speak!
You speak quickly!
What are you trying to do?
But what but?
At this time, the barrage was flowing wildly, and everyone asked not to stop.
Some people say, why don't you give me my coins? Hurry up!
The lsps directly filled the screen with GKD!
The explaining voice paused for a few seconds before speaking again.
[... but... as expected, something unexpected happened. ]
[In this diary on March 29, 2448, Protagonist 2 said that when he had a headache, he saw his wife appearing in front of him in the form of a hallucination. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, the screenshot in the video changed again.
That is the diary of September 8, 2444.
The content is that when Protagonist 2 had a headache, he saw Dr. Maynard, who had been dead for a year, staring at him with a sinister smile through the glass.
[It can be learned from this diary that people with headaches can see hallucinations of dead people appearing. And this strange situation not only happened to Protagonist 2, but also the entire Containment Sites-19 people. Therefore, the headache phenomenon can be seen returning from the dead. Then Protagonist 2 saw his wife Kaila. That is to say, the "Courage" protecting Seonggok will most likely encounter something. Or, in other words, what did Kaila himself encounter on the 'Courage'.]
[If this is the case with the "Courage", then as a hope, "Seonggok", I don't think it is intact, and I am afraid it is also in danger. ]
The players frowned when they saw this.
What happened in the video.
What could that be?
The vast starry sky, the dead universe.
The only ones human starships can encounter are aliens.
But even if they are aliens and have developed into a parallel world of interstellar civilization, it stands to reason that high technology should be everywhere.
Can't we defeat the aliens?
The players frowned and thought, but couldn't come up with any results.
But in the video, the voice of the commentator suddenly changed and turned into the voice of Brother Banana.
Obviously, it was his turn to explain.
[Regarding the problem of seeing dead people when you have a headache, unfortunately, there is no specific explanation in the game. We looked through all the documentation to find the answer, but couldn't find it. So for this headache problem, we can only speculate based on existing clues. ]
[The following analysis is my personal guess. If the production team has an explanation in the future that is contrary to my analysis, then everyone will just have fun watching it. ]
At this time, as the explanation began, the game screen appeared in the video.
That was the BOSS battle of A-FBC-1000 'Bigfoot'!
Moreover, it is the second stage of the evasion battle. Brother Banana, as the protagonist of the control, is crawling while hiding among the rocks.
[In fact, players who have been to the parallel world know that the first BOSS on the main line, A-FBC-1000 'Bigfoot', was designed very simply for the sake of players. But this BOSS told me an important piece of information. ]
[That is, there is something called 'Divine Seal' in human consciousness. ]
[Through BOSS's dictation, we know that this thing came to Blue Star at Cambrian. The combination of microorganisms carried on the surface and ocean minerals has caused a major unsolved mystery in the scientific community, namely the Cambrian explosion of life. ]
[I also learned from BOSS that 'Divine Seal' is very mysterious. Advanced races in ancient times have studied it and determined that it is an 'inorganic life form'. Oh my god... inorganic life... 'Divine Seal' is actually a living dead object... You can imagine that a dead object such as stone, sand, or steel suddenly becomes alive, and you will understand how incredible this is! It is simply a contradiction! ]
[However, this existence has established contact with ancient humans until today. So I personally believe that human headaches should be caused by this 'Divine Seal'. ]
[But some people will be curious, since 'Divine Seal' came to Blue Star from Cambrian, then during the period from the birth of human beings to interstellar civilization, didn't humans have headaches and hallucinations? ]
[This point, in fact, Protagonist 2's diary and 'Bigfoot' explain everything. ]
[The ancient humans who were forced to reach maximum level by 'Divine Seal' forgot about it through some means. So I personally think that this is the main reason why 'Divine Seal' has not appeared in the development of human civilization for thousands of years. But why did the headache appear again? You will understand after reading this diary. ]
In the video, Brother Banana released a screenshot of the diary.
That is the original text of the diary:
2443.6.20, Yin.
It's been a long time since I've written in a diary, and a very interesting thing happened today.
A geologist exposed a mining company, saying that they were secretly studying Alien Architecture substances, and also released a video. That's fascinating, but I guess the FBC agents have their hands full again.
Seeing this, the player suddenly realized.
I see!
That's so!
Inorganic life form...Alien Architecture...
Combined with what Brother Banana just said, I'm afraid this so-called Alien Architecture is not a 'building' in the true sense at all...
Rather, it is a living 'inorganic substance'!
Therefore, this mining company... may be studying 'Divine Seal'!
'It' has reappeared!
So people's headaches are happening again!
Thinking of this, the players felt their scalps numb.
Suppose that people's headaches are actually caused by a high-dimensional existence in their consciousness, and this existence can allow people to see hallucinations of dead people reappearing in the world.
For the Control Bureau, who has abnormal management and control, this abnormal phenomenon is...
Players dare not think twice.
At this time, the voice of Brother Banana sounded again in the video.
[I guess this mining company must have people from the Control Bureau investigating inside. Because the next article in this diary is that Control Bureau started a project called 'Pneuma (Soul)'. And this plan is about research on the spiritual and conscious levels. Protagonist 2 I don't know the significance of this research. But those of you in front of the screen, I believe you already understand. ]
[The FBC agents in that mining company must have discovered something and reported it to the headquarters. That's why Control Bureau initiated this research, just to know whether there are any 'abnormalities' in human consciousness! ]
[Now, we know the background of the parallel world, the situation and crisis here, and the existence of 'Divine Seal'. ]
[Then next, we can understand why Control Bureau wants to eliminate humans. ]
[At the same time, I will also explain in detail how Protagonist 2 in the parallel world transformed from a scientist into a monster BOSS step by step under such a crisis background. ]
[Well, first of all, this starts from the fact that Control Bureau in the parallel world carried out the Pneuma (soul) plan and successfully resurrected the previous director...]
I don't know how well I wrote this chapter, but I tried to peel off the layers as smoothly as possible.
