Motives for Existence and Destruction

Lin Yu's speculation that the project depicted in the story was related to the "Death game" was based on a lack of substantial evidence.

He just felt that... it was really illogical for "such a thing" to happen in his world.

Perhaps there are one or a few madmen who, even without the "Death game," would try to cultivate geniuses based on the reasons stated by "Fluoxetine."

But those lunatics could never establish a secret research facility beneath the Atlantic Ocean and provide drugs that could truly keep children "absolutely focused."

Although all of this is still within the realm of "science" and has the theoretical possibility of being realized, Lin Yu does not believe that there is no possibility of "supernatural forces" interfering behind such a project in reality.

And the only "supernatural power" that Lin Yu knows, and that he has confirmed to exist in reality so far...

It's a "Death game"!

"Admittedly, the 'motives' you stated earlier are indeed sufficient, and in a sense, it is an inevitable fact that human 'scientific development' currently has a certain 'endpoint' and 'upper limit,'" Lin Yu said in a low voice. "However, it is far from the time to use such 'secret human experiments' to push this upper limit... Human theoretical development is still a long way from touching the 'boundary caused by physiological limitations' you mentioned."

"So, in the long run, the reason this project exists might indeed be to 'raise the ceiling,' but it was born in this era, and there must be a practical reason for its 'real existence,'" Lin Yu said, looking at the Fluoxetine in the mirror. "And that practical reason, that condition that makes its existence a kind of 'necessity,' should be 'acceleration.'"

"The people who created this project, or that group of people, knew that the current limits of human 'technology' were insufficient, and they also knew that the current 'status quo' was inadequate," Lin Yu's speech quickened slightly, "Because they saw a certain 'threat'... a threat that required a rapid improvement in current 'technology'."

"And my guess is that the reason for doing this is the 'Death game' —some of them are 'Player' of the 'Death game', or they learned about Death game existence through other 'Player'."

Therefore, human 'technology' is no longer merely a tool to drive 'social productivity development,' but has become a 'weapon'... a weapon to combat 'Supernatural Power' that truly exist in Other Worlds.

At this point, Lin Yu looked at "Fluoxetine": "What I said... is correct?"

The girl in the hospital gown in the mirror clapped softly and spoke in a low voice.

"That's right... Back then, I didn't really know the purpose of this project either. Although I'm a crazy person with a mental problem, I always felt confused whenever I tried to understand why the 'Director' started this project and how he was able to start it... My experience was so out of place in this world, there must be something I don't know that brought all of this together..."

Lin Yin said, then laughed.

"Until three years ago, I finally figured it out... no, rather than figuring it out, it's more like the 'Death game' 'loosened its guard'," Lin Yin pointed to his head, "In the Previous Version of 'Game Endgame,' someone influenced the 'Death game' itself to such an extent that I was Grace to break through its blockade on my soul and mind."

"In that instant, I realized what should fill the huge 'blank' that had always existed in my heart."

Lin Yu suddenly realized. "So, you chose to commit suicide to enter the Game?"

Lin Yin didn't answer the question directly, "It's just the usual madness... but luckily, I'm not too bad."

"In short, only after truly realizing the existence of this 'Death game' did I understand that what the director did back then was indeed the 'right thing'... If he had witnessed the 'Death game' or even the 'Final Trial,' then his choice to create such a system to select geniuses and try to raise the 'upper limit of humanity' physiologically would truly have been the right one."

"It's just a pity I didn't realize his good intentions," Lin Yin tapped her head with the side of her index finger, making a dramatic and unrepentant "remorse" expression. "But, thankfully, I still have a chance to forgive myself... Every version has 'Player' trying to do the same thing."

"The great Freud created the best Psychology Society —I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to join this wonderful organization."

Lin Yin said with a smile, raising both hands.

"Long live Freud!"

Lin Yu looked at Lin Yin. Although he really wanted to ask about the later events concerning the "Psychology Society," there was something else that concerned him more during those words.

"You ruined this project... what do you mean?"

Lin Yin, dressed in a hospital gown, spoke in the mirror, "That's... what you're about to see."

"This is the best day of my life, and it's also the beginning of this 'story'—come on, dear reader, please... read carefully."

As the voice faded from the mirror -Lin Yin path...

"Smack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the entire mirror shattered into pieces.

The figure of the girl in the hospital gown disappeared, replaced by the clearer image of the young Lin Yin, reflected in the shattered glass mirror.

The Lin Yin now looks a bit older—but it still looks only seven or eight years old.

Her Right Hand was wrapped in a wet towel, with her oral hygiene tools hidden in the layers of the towel—a design that allowed this little girl, who was still practically a child, to easily break the mirror.

Then, with a towel still in her hands, young Lin Yin slowly broke off long strips of glass from the mirror and held them in her hands.

Holding the sharp, blade-like lens, she climbed onto the sink, then found the recessed light fixture in the ceiling, pierced it with the pointed end of the glass, and pried the entire fixture out.

This is indeed the "Real World"... Although everything looks very advanced, and may utilize some technology from the Ten Realms, most of the infrastructure... is still built upon the achievements of the "modern technology tree".

This means that lighting tools will most likely rely on electricity to function.

So behind this light fixture, there will be hidden electrical wires!

Lin Yin removed the electrical wires buried behind the wall, cut the insulation layer with glass, and then joined the exposed parts of the two wires together...

"Sizzle--smack!"

Sparks flew, plunging the room into darkness—at the same time, an alarm blared outside the door.

Lin Yin remained hidden in the darkness, and soon after, the door to her living room was opened.

Two staff members in gray uniforms strode in, but what greeted them was...

It was a precise stab to the spleen!

"Slap, slap!"

The smell of blood permeated the room.

Then, Lin Yin slit their throats, searched their bodies for keys and guns, and left his room.

For a seven or eight-year-old child to be able to do this is indeed somewhat bizarre and even strange.

But...

Lin Yu clearly remembered that Lin Yin was not an ordinary child.

Although Lin Yu didn't know when she voluntarily stopped taking the medication, she probably wasn't in a state of not taking the medication in the first place.

Lin Yin's biological age is indeed still no more than ten years old, but she is also an "artificial genius" who has been taking special drugs for a long time, and has obtained multiple university degrees in half a year, possessing a wealth of knowledge.

Now, she has been at this base for another two years...

Lin Yu couldn't imagine how much knowledge she had acquired, how much she had grown, or how long she had been planning and preparing for this project.

Moreover, she is not only Lin Yin, but also "Fluoxetine".

Carrying the blood-stained glass, her gun, and her keys, she walked swiftly and directly to another room in the base.

Gunshots rang out, followed by the piercing screams of an adult man, then another gunshot rang out, and the screams abruptly ceased.

Then, alarms sounded throughout the base, and red light filled the entire base, but the unusual thing was... the doors separating the various corridors and rooms were not closed, but instead were all open.

More and more gunshots rang out, even mixed with some explosions—lights went out in some places, and flames rose in others.

This enclosed base built on the seabed has fallen into a "disaster".

The source of the disaster... was the research subject of this experimental base, a little girl who was not yet ten years old.

In a sense, Lin Yu didn't sympathize much with the deceased staff members, because they were all somewhat "self-inflicted"—no matter how noble the reasons, locking a group of children in the sea, depriving them of their emotions, and turning them into some kind of "supercomputer"-like existence, just to serve the purpose of "cultivating geniuses who can drive science and technology to fight against Supernatural Power"... Perhaps some of them "did not deserve to die," but there were definitely some who "deserved to die."

Only...

Lin Yu also understood that Lin Yin's destruction of everything was not out of despair as a "victim" or out of any yearning for freedom.

At that time, she probably didn't know or understand what "freedom" was... Her filtered knowledge, even after stopping medication, probably couldn't inspire her to yearn for the outside world.

Therefore, what supported Lin Yin in doing all this was some more primal impulse, ingrained in her very being.

It's her innate "antisocial personality" side.

Lin Yu could clearly see that every time Lin Yin fired a gun, brandished a weapon, killed someone, set fires, or caused an explosion, a look would appear on her face...

A cheerful and relaxed expression.

Her expression was that of someone familiar with Fluoxetine, like Lin Yu...

They are increasingly overlapping.
