207 Two Choices
The Oracle?!
As soon as the old man said it, it wasn’t just Angelica who was shocked in the game.
The old man’s words shocked the viewers in the live stream room as well.
It was because nobody had expected the Oracle, who had always been kind to everyone and easily won people’s favor, would have such an important identity.
[Oh my goodness! I didn’t expect the Oracle to be acquainted with this old man. If that’s the case, why did the Oracle ask Angelica to find the old man herself? Why didn’t she just bring Angelica to see him?]
[That’s right! If the Oracle knew who this old man was, why did she choose to do nothing but provide Angelica with some guidance? What’s the point of that?]
[I’m now seriously suspecting that the Oracle’s purpose might not be simple. There must be some secrets between her and this old man!]
Meanwhile, Angelica had the same thoughts as the live stream room viewers.
Angelica immediately asked, “What exactly are you going to do to help humans remain peaceful?”
The old man said with a smile.
“It’s simple. She and I created a system that’s similar to an automatic loop system, just like the garbage and recycling system in the city.”
“In this system, I will let the Oracle choose a Savior after a series of arrangements.”
“Afterward, I will let the Savior go through many challenges according to the program I’ve prepared in advance. In the end, the Savior will enter the core of the Matrix.”
“When the Savior enters the core of the Matrix, Zion will be destroyed.”
“The Savior will then rebuild Zion with 16 women and seven men.”
“When the population of Zion recovers again and humans start to expand their territories, they will find a new Savior. The whole situation is a loop.”
“In this way, we can maintain a dynamic balance between the repeated destruction and rebirth of humans. It will prevent the system from collapsing.”
“There were five Saviors who came to the core of the Matrix before you. However, you are the most special one I have ever seen!”
At this point, the truth of the world had been revealed to Angelica, just like peeling off an onion.
For the first time, the players could finally understand the world of the Matrix, which had always confused them since The Matrix I.
Many people felt as if they had been enlightened.
[Oh! So that’s how it is! This old man has designed the world in this way since the beginning. The people living in this world never had a second choice.]
[I suddenly feel that the NPCs in this game are pitiful. No matter what they do or how hard they try, they can’t change the outcome.]
[That’s right! After all, the creator has controlled the world from the beginning. To them, it’s like a game. Their whole life is controlled by others from the very beginning.]
[By the way, is Su Ping trying to deliver us a message by making this game? Could it be that he wants to tell us that our current world is also a game?]
[Hiss! It’s terrifying if you think about it carefully. Please don’t say that. It’s simply terrifying!]
[I’d like to call Su Ping the best game producer in the world, not only in the technical aspect of the game but also in the game’s content and plot!]
[It’s like Su Ping is creating a real-world in each of his games. I’m really curious about what his brain is made of. It’s ridiculous!]
The live stream room viewers praised Su Ping, the game creator, while they were lamenting the truth of the Matrix.
Even Angelica couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw the comments.
“Su Ping is so scary. I want to turn off the live stream right now and ask him what kind of mental state he was in when he created this game!”
However, since the game had just entered its climax, Angelica certainly wouldn’t end the game now.
Besides, the game was about to end. Angelica thought that she could ask Su Ping about his creative ideas later.
Angelica focused her attention back on the game. At this moment, the white-haired old man gave Angelica two choices.
After all, the white-haired old man had just said that Angelica was the most special Savior he had ever seen, so he was willing to give her another choice.
If it were the Saviors from the past, there wouldn’t be such a discussion session at all.
The white-haired old man said indifferently, “You have two choices now. Do you see that there are two doors in this room?”
“If you enter the door on your right, you will save Zion, help humankind avoid destruction, and start over their lives.”
“If you enter the door on your left, Zion will immediately be destroyed, and everything will be restarted as before. Of course, the good thing is you can save your girlfriend.”
At this time, Angelica was also in a dilemma.
Although it was just a game and everyone in the game was just a string of codes composed of zero and one…
However, it was a virtual reality game. For the players who played the game, every NPC was like a living person.
Besides, the games that Su Ping created had always been realistic. The NPCs all had their distinctive personalities.
So of course, Angelica didn’t want to watch her teammates die, even if it was a game.
[What are you hesitating for? This old man must be bluffing. After all, we can always start over when the city is destroyed. At worst, we will only experience another destruction!]
[That’s right! People can’t be saved once they’re dead, and the destruction of the city must have something to do with the machines. The city can’t be gone just because of this old man’s words! Let’s save Trinity first! Afterward, we’ll discuss how to save the city!]
[Stop hesitating! If you delay any longer, you might only have one choice left.]
[I bet that Angelica will choose to save her teammates. I’ve watched her live streams for so long, and she’s not someone who would abandon her teammates!]
