The entire City of Battlegrounds is now completely in ruins.
Moreover, the Prison beneath the City of Battlegrounds and the main control center were all exposed because of Ma Lin's Combat.
In the aftermath of the horrific Combat, most of the prisoners were killed or wounded, and those behind the scenes fled by helicopter as soon as they realized something was wrong.
At this moment, in the center of the battlefield, the two remaining Ma Lin are still Combat.
However, due to near exhaustion, both Ma Lin had already collapsed to the ground. Even so, they mechanically exchanged punches and kicks.
However, this strength is probably even weaker than that of an ordinary person.
Ling Yi hovered above the two Ma Lin, awaiting the final result.
Another half hour passed, and one of the Ma Lin shakily raised his fist, but ultimately did not throw it. As Ma Lin number 99's fist fell, it meant that the Combat was finally over.
The only remaining Number 0, Ma Lin, lay panting heavily among the corpses, staring blankly at the sky.
"Recovered?" Ling Yi revealed himself and slowly descended from the sky.
Looking at Ling Yi hovering in front of her, Ma Lin's madness had vanished, replaced by a bitter smile.
"You are very smart," Ma Lin said haltingly.
"If only, if only you killed any one of us, things would never have turned out this way."
"What is your special ability? To Clone that die, Plunder the abilities of others?"
"Yes, whoever kills my Clone, I can gain their abilities and power." Ma Lin struggled to sit up.
But after several unsuccessful attempts, he had no choice but to lie down on one of Ma Lin's corpses again.
Her body had already been ravaged by the Combat.
Most of the bones were shattered, and the internal organs were also severely injured.
Death was just a step away.
Of course, if he has enough energy to replenish now, given Ma Lin's current physical strength and recovery ability, he still has a chance to survive.
But Ling Yi showed no intention of saving her.
"Can you tell me your story?" Ling Yi asked.
It wasn't that Ling Yi was interested in Ma Lin's story, but rather that Ling Yi wanted to analyze the reason for Ma Lin's birth through Ma Lin story.
Is it a coincidence, or are these NPCs deliberately created to Simulation a scene?
The system had previously told him that the Simulation scenarios were targeting him because of a misunderstanding; it was an unconscious or subconscious behavior.
They see themselves as a virus, which is why they are being deliberately targeted.
I never expected to be targeted to this extent.
For Ling Yi, this Ma Lin was a huge trap.
The mission itself can also be a trap.
If you kill Ma Lin upon discovering Ma Lin in order to complete the mission, then your abilities will be Plunder by Ma Lin.
Whether or not it could be Plunder, Ling Yi dared not gamble.
If it's true, then I can't kill Ma Lin.
If you don't kill Ma Lin, you can't complete the mission and can't clear the game.
If I kill Ma Lin, my abilities will be Plunder.
This is a dead end; it's a trap no matter which way you go.
No matter how you look at it, this is not an unconscious or subconscious targeting; it's a conspiracy and scheming.
Ling Yi now needs to figure out one thing: whether the Simulation scenario is targeting him, or whether the AI Nüwa is targeting him.
Or perhaps the show's producers are targeting them.
"I never imagined that there would be others like me in this world." As if in a final burst of energy, Ma Lin's cheeks flushed slightly, and her speech became much smoother.
"I was just an ordinary girl. Three months ago, I was electrocuted and suddenly awakened a power: I can create Clone."
"As long as the Clone dies, you can become stronger."
"However, only one hundred Clone can Summon, and death is conditional; one must be killed by someone else to Plunder power and abilities from the one who killed them."
"Are you sure it's about Plunder abilities and strength, and not just Plunder memories?" Ling Yi asked.
It's about ability, not memory.
"After you awaken your superpower, you'll know how to use it?"
"Yes, it's like I was born with it."
Ling Yi frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
"But there are two huge problems here. One is that the Clone and the original body are completely indistinguishable; the Clone is the original body, and the original body is also Clone."
"As long as only one of these hundred Clone survives, one can become the strongest. Whether the original body or Clone survives is actually not important."
"The second problem is that after I released all one hundred Clone, I discovered that both I and the Clone had lost their minds."
"Becomes insane, ruthless, bloodthirsty, and extremely prone to extremism!"
"Is the main body the same as the Clone?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, the original body is the same!"
"I can't stand those online influencers who sell counterfeit goods, so Clone to storm into an offline event hosted by a certain platform and directly attacked someone."
"I couldn't stand the dirty dealings between the hospital director and the attending physicians, so I killed them."
"Including those people from my former company, they were ostensibly from an agency, but in reality, they were luring people out with high salaries to get laid."
"The more people there are in Kega, the more mentally unstable they become, and the more extreme, crazy, and ruthless their behavior becomes. They include classmates who mocked me when I was a child, and teachers who made me stand as punishment."
"Even while dining out, people get angry and lash out just because the waiter's attitude is a little bad."
"Furthermore, all the Clone Sharing the same mental state; it's not just one clone, but all Clone, including the original body, are in this state."
"But I'm not in a state of mental illness all the time. Most of the time, I'm lucid, but I can't tolerate even the slightest stimulation, let alone control myself."
"I don't want to continue like this, so I chose to turn myself in while I'm still sober."
Ling Yi raised an eyebrow. "You mean, you and all the original bodies and Clone, after Ga Ren, chose to surrender?"
"Right!"
"Then, the verdict was announced around the same time, and the execution was carried out around the same time?"
"Yes!"
"And then, you were all brought to this island?"
"Heh, isn't it strange? I suspect someone is controlling all of this behind the scenes; otherwise, there's no way to explain it all. There are coincidences in this world, but not a hundred coincidences."
Ma Lin stared at Ling Yi and asked, "Was it you?"
Ling Yi never expected that Ma Lin would suspect him.
But thinking about it, it makes sense, since in Ma Lin's view, Ling Yi was the most suspicious target.
"It wasn't me, but it's possible it started because of me."
Seeing the doubt in Ma Lin's expression, Ling Yi knew that the other party didn't believe him.
Ling Yi didn't care whether the other party believed him or not; what he was hesitating about was how to deal with Ma Lin.
What if killing Ma Lin turns out to be a trap?
For example, is this Ma Lin not the last Ma Lin?
This is not impossible.
This Simulation scenario was so insidious that Ling Yi had to be on guard.
But if I don't kill Ma Lin, I won't be able to complete the game.
The problem has entered a vicious cycle again.
"System, give me some advice." Ling Yi mentally Summon System.
[Ding, Dark Matter Hard Drive.]
Ling Yi's eyes lit up. Oh right, how could he have forgotten about the Dark Matter Hard Drive?
The Dark Matter Hard Drive can directly cut and save data from Simulation scenarios.
Having been cut and saved, Ma Lin naturally disappeared from the Simulation scene.
But then Ling Yi thought of another question: if Ma Lin was gone, would the mission of killing Ma Lin still be considered complete?
If the Simulation is too realistic, will it determine that I failed the game?
But now, Ling Yi had no better option, so he had no choice but to take the risk and try.
"If it's not you, can you tell me who's behind this?" Ma Lin asked.
Ling Yi shook his head, not wanting to explain.
Because it makes no sense.
With a wave of his hand, a wristwatch appeared in Ling Yi's hand.
"Answer my last question," Ling Yi said.
A glint of light flashed in Ma Lin's eyes. She thought Ling Yi was about to attack her, and her expression showed some excitement, but she quickly concealed it.
"What was the name of your previous company? Where was it located?" Ling Yi asked.
Ma Lin was taken aback, completely unaware of why Ling Yi would ask such a question.
Without much thought, he simply said, " Dafeng City International Job Recruitment Company."
Why ask that?
"Because I have to complete my mission!" Ling Yi sneered.
As he spoke, Ling Yi pointed his wristwatch at Ma Lin. A black light enveloped Ma Lin, and then Ma Lin disappeared.
Ling Yi glanced at the other corpses of Ma Lin around him, then restarted the Dark Matter Hard Drive.
Daodao black lights swept past, and Ma Lin's corpses vanished without a trace.
Then, Ling Yi soared into the air, breaking through the dome of the Truman world, the City of Battlegrounds, and flew out.
Several hours later, Ling Yi returned to the Ancient Country of Dafeng City in this Simulation scenario.
Unleashing my Perception, I quickly discovered a familiar Aura of life.
A typical old residential area in the southern district of Dafeng City.
A beautiful woman with long, straight black hair was sitting cross-legged on her sofa, watching TV.
However, the television screen only displayed one line of text: Signal in progress, please wait...
The woman frowned, her expression grim.
This woman is very beautiful; she could easily debut as a star.
However, her slightly distorted expression diminished her attractiveness somewhat.
"Damn Ling Yi, what on earth happened? Why is there no power feedback even though the last Clone died?"
This woman, also named Ma Lin, is, to be precise, Ma Lin's true form.
The Clone and the original Sharing memories.
Ma Lin knew everything that all her Clone had experienced.
Most of what the Clone said was true, including the Clone's neurotic state and extreme personality, but he lied only about the original body and the Clone.
The original body is the original body, Clone are the Clone.
The original body can completely control the behavior of the Clone, contrary to what the Clone claims, that the original body and the Clone are indistinguishable and that the mental state is uncontrollable.
The original body coveted Ling Yi's power and naturally hoped to be killed by Ling Yi.
If Ling Yi kills the Clone, she will gain Ling Yi's power.
So what if we waste all our Clone?
Ling Yi clearly killed the last Clone, but there was no feedback of power.
"Did you already know I was going to kill you?" a voice rang out from beside Ma Lin.
