206 The Truth of the World
[Finally, the war is going to end. When Angelica enters the room in front of her, she will clear the game, right?]
[That should be the case. After all, it’s the core of the Matrix. As long as Angelica turns off everything inside, the Matrix should also turn off.]
[As long as the Matrix can’t control those machines and all the humans, then the war will be over.]
[Finally, we are here! I have to say that although the game isn’t as scary as Zombie Apocalypse, it isn’t easy to play at all!]
When the live stream room viewers saw Angelica was about to enter the room in front of her to end the game, they began to discuss enthusiastically.
Some people even began to fantasize about the plot of The Matrix III. However, the topic was a little difficult to discuss.
After all, if the war between humanity and machines ended in The Matrix II, what plot should Su Ping create in The Matrix III?
Would Su Ping create plots about humans and machines building the world together and restoring their past civilization?
Although the players were looking forward to such a plot, it was still a cliché. Hence, most players believed that Su Ping wouldn’t create such a cliché plot.
Finally, Angelica pushed open the door in front of her and walked in. When her eyes finally adapted to the bright light in the room, she was stunned to see the decorations and displays.
It was because Angelica didn’t see a control panel that could shut down the Matrix, nor did she see any switches.
There were countless small rectangular televisions all over the surrounding walls, and on the television screens, they all showed Angelica’s current appearance.
Angelica saw an old man with white hair and a white beard sitting in the middle of the room.
Why would an old man appear here?
What was the person’s identity? Why could he come here?
Angelica tried to communicate with the old man in front of her. After listening to the old man’s self-introduction, Angelica was shocked.
According to what the old man said, he was the architect of the entire system of the Matrix, which meant that he was the creator of the Matrix!
“You created the Matrix? But how do you survive in this world for so long? Why are you staying here?”
At this moment, Angelica’s heart was filled with endless doubts. Of course, she doubted the identity of the old man in front of her.
Therefore, Angelica continued to ask the old man in front of her.
“Since you are the creator of this system, it means that you were a human. But why did you let the machine kill people and let humans live in the underground world?”
“Shouldn’t you control the machines to help humans live a better life and stop the war between humanity and machines?”
Angelica couldn’t understand the old man’s actions.
Hearing it, the old man suddenly laughed softly and said indifferently.
“Huh, you’re right, and that’s what I did in the past.”
The old man’s words made Angelica even more confused. She thought, “What does he mean? Why does he say that had done something like this before?”
However, according to the history left behind by Morpheus and Zion, Angelica had never heard that machines used to live in peace with humans.
Angelica only knew that since the awakening of the Matrix’s self-consciousness, the machines had firmly controlled the world, so that humans could only live underground like mice.
“When have you done such a thing? Why didn’t I know about it?”
At this moment, the small televisions around Angelica started to play videos related to her.
Although the small televisions were showing videos related to Angelica, when she took a close look, she realized the video was showing things she had never done before.
For example, one of the screens showed that Angelica raised her middle finger at the old man in front of her.
There was also another screen showing that Angelica looked extremely grumpy as if she was going to beat up the old man in front of her.
Angelica believed that she wouldn’t do such a thing. Besides, she didn’t have to be too angry with an NPC since she was just playing a game.
“What’s going on? Why are there so many of me on the screens? I don’t recall doing these things!”
The old man said with a smile.
“You indeed didn’t do such a thing, but the former of you did it!”
At this moment, the old man finally began to explain his previous words. He explained what he had done to try to bring a better life to mankind.
“Actually, the Matrix you’re seeing now is the sixth version!”
“When I first created the Matrix, my idea was indeed to bring a better life to humans through it. I hoped to create a perfect world for humans by using a tool that can provide sufficient materials.”
“However, the final result proved that my idea was completely wrong. I tried to create many ideal worlds in the past six versions.”
“For example, I tried to create a world that was extremely rich in resources, where everyone can live a rich life.”
As the old man explained, the small televisions around Angelica started to show the life scenes of those who had once lived in the Matrix.
The people here lived under a blue sky and white clouds, and everyone smiled happily.
However, in just an instant, the scene showed a scene of war. Countless people died and lost their lives in the war. In the end, a war broke out all over the world.
When the scene appeared in the video, the old man helplessly smiled and spread his hands. He said.
“Look! This is how humans are. Humans are born evil, which can’t be changed physically.”
“I’ve not only tried to create a wealthy world. Instead, I’ve also tried to create a world where everyone had equal rights. However, extreme exploitation still appeared in that world, which also led the world toward destruction.”
The old man suddenly changed the topic.
“However, I also discovered something while I’m trying to create different worlds. I noticed that a program seemed to have found a way to help humans completely settle down.”
“The program can prevent humans from launching wars, killing each other, and destroying the environment which led the world toward destruction.”
Upon hearing it, Angelica couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“What is this program?”
When the old man heard Angelica’s question, he smiled.
“It’s the Oracle!”
