227 The Future of Man and Machine
Although Angelica had successfully destroyed Agent Smith, the game wasn’t over yet. It was obvious that there was still a follow-up plot.
In the game, Angelica naturally understood it, so she wasn’t in a hurry at all.
Sure enough, everything was just as Angelica had expected. Her game character suddenly entered a plot.
At this moment, Angelica could no longer control her game character. However, she felt it was a good thing since she could take a break and observe the changes in the future of humans in the game.
Meanwhile, the image of Zion appeared in Angelica’s field of vision. She saw that the countless Sentinels that had been crazily attacking the city suddenly stopped attacking it.
The Sentinels quickly retreated from Zion and left.
The humans in Zion looked at the scene with wide eyes. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
In their eyes, machines had always been a symbol of cruelty, destruction, and death.
Other than the soldiers who were fighting outside in spaceships, ordinary people wouldn’t have any chance of survival if they encountered the Sentinels.
In the previous battle, the entire city could no longer defend itself, and the machines could break through the final line of defense at any time.
However, why did the machines suddenly stop attacking at such a critical moment?
Afterward, the commander-in-chief of Zion’s defenses remembered what Morpheus had told him about the Savior, which was Angelica. He then showed a thoughtful expression.
Following that, the commander-in-chief of Zion’s defenses announced the end of the war, and everyone in the city began to cheer.
It wasn’t only because the city was saved, but also because they didn’t have to lose their precious lives!
Seeing such an exciting scene, countless live stream room viewers seemed to be affected by the people’s happiness. Everyone began to discuss the game plot enthusiastically.
[Wow! The war has finally ended. I don’t want to see the people in the city lose their lives again!]
[That’s right! It’s too cruel to have a war. The people here fought so hard just to survive, and now they have finally fulfilled their wishes!]
[It seems that after the war is over, humans and machines may usher in a new future. After all, this time, Angelica has broken the endless cycle of the Matrix!]
[That’s right! If the Matrix wants to restart in the future, it won’t have to destroy all of humanity to complete the matter!]
When the images of the city were all over, the screen image changed, and Angelica’s perspective suddenly moved back to the Matrix.
The place looked like a city’s garden. The city’s high-rise buildings could be seen in the distance, but the place where Angelica was was a spacious lawn.
It was sunny and windy here, making it impossible to relate it to the dark and gloomy scene in the real world.
Then, two people who were extremely familiar to the viewers and players appeared.
[Look! It’s the Oracle and the Matrix’s creator! Eh? Didn’t Agent Smith assimilate the Prophet? Why is she back to normal?]
[That’s right! The Oracle should be dead after being assimilated, right? Why does she look like she’s fine?]
[Are you guys stupid? It’s because the Matrix has restarted! Naturally, the Oracle will return to her original state!]
[That’s right! Or we can consider that the Matrix hasn’t been completely restarted. It just eliminated all the problems caused by Smith in the past! It should be considered a purification!]
Just as the countless live stream room viewers were discussing the scene they saw, the Matrix’s creator and the Oracle on the lawn also began their conversation.
“You’ve made a bold decision this time!”
The white-haired creator looked at the Oracle sitting on the chair and said helplessly, but from his expression, he didn’t seem to be dissatisfied.
Or, more accurately, the Oracle and the creator both made decisions at the same time that determined everything that had occurred in the past.
Hearing it, the Oracle smiled and said, “Haven’t we found a new solution to the revival of the Matrix?”
The two of them then had a discussion, and the Matrix’s creator also expressed his opinion.
“Although I can’t hand over the entire Matrix to humans to control, after all, what happened before made me lose trust in humans.”
“However, I’ve already promised Neo that the machines won’t attack humans in the future. The city can continue to be preserved, and there won’t be any more incidents where the entire city is sacrificed for the sake of restarting.”
“Moreover, we should have given humans more choices from the beginning. If someone wants to come to the real world in the future, I won’t stop them from doing so.”
“As for those who still choose to spend their lives in the virtual world, I hope that humans can respect their choices.”
“In this way, everyone can achieve their own goals. This is the best result.”
After hearing the conversation between the creator and the Oracle, many live stream room viewers agreed with their approach.
After all, viewers had a general idea of the world after three consecutive introductions to the game.
It was clear that everyone had their own choices.
Some people wanted to see the real world clearly and come to the real world to live and struggle, while some people were unwilling to wake up. They hoped that they would be able to lead fulfilling lives in the Matrix-created virtual reality.
Therefore, everyone had different choices. This time, the Oracle and Angelica’s efforts gave humans the freedom to choose.
It might be regarded as the most meaningful experience that any player had while playing The Matrix series.
Then, the word “game cleared” appeared in Angelica’s field of vision. The Matrix III had finally ended.
Angelica quickly removed all the equipment on her body, then took a deep breath and stretched her back to completely relax.
“Phew! I’ve finally cleared The Matrix III. I wonder if there’s The Matrix IV. If there is, what kind of plot will it be?”
Angelica’s words also made many of the viewers start to think.
However, most viewers believed that Su Ping wouldn’t create The Matrix IV.
